His arms were broken, and his back and buttocks were covered in flesh and blood. Xu Wang, who was lying on the bed, looked extremely miserable. Because of his long screams, even moaning seemed so weak.

All this fell into the eyes of the Xu family, making them angry. Many people were already furious and shouted to go to the county government to retaliate against Li Ling. However, after Xu Ziyang scolded her with a gloomy face, they finally calmed down, but they were still full of indignation and gritted their teeth.

Xu Ziyang was also angry, and in addition to that, he was shocked, shocked by the toughness of the new county magistrate and the fact that he had such a powerful helper around him. Is this his confidence? In this way, things are really difficult. Though his Xu family is not very powerful in Huating, none of the guard guards are considered masters, and a real master cannot surrender to his family.

"Xu Sen, are you saying that Li Ling just asked someone to attack Xu Wang because he was disrespectful?" Xu Ziyang asked again.

Xu Sen answered yes and added: "Because no one in the hall dared to take action at that time, a subordinate he had been with him suddenly stepped forward... I, I couldn't see clearly how he suddenly appeared in front of Xu Wang, and he controlled the person in one go. Then he wanted to struggle and resist, but his arms were broken..." Thinking of the terrifying scene at that time, he was still in lingering fear.

"Dad, this matter cannot be forgotten. We must fight back. No matter how much money we spend, we must avenge Lao Wu!" Xu Kun suggested again after enduring for a while.

"I said, you must not be strong in this matter. Not to mention that there are masters around him, even if you don't, doing so will only make the people feel decent. After all, this is under the rule of the Dayue court, and you will be blatantly against Li Ling. How many heads do you have?" Xu Ziyang glared at his incompetent son in anger, with a firm tone. Then he glanced over the others: "The same is true for you. You must not think about revenge with force, otherwise it will only cause greater trouble to the Xu family. Do you understand?"

"Yes..." The clans and nephews all agreed, but their faces were still filled with anger, and they also felt a little whispered in their hearts, "If you can't take revenge, then do you admit defeat?" The Xu family has been in Huating for decades, but they have never suffered such a big loss under a county magistrate.

Xu Ziyang could see their thoughts at once and snorted: "I have never said this, so I should forget it. Revenge will be avenged. I will make Li Ling cry and kneel in front of me and beg for mercy! But I have to use other means."

"Other means..." Xu Mo thought about it and thought of something, "Dad, do you want to deal with him from the official side?"

"Hmph, he came to the capital and didn't know the rules of the operation of the county government. He thought that having an official position would make everyone obey the orders of the Manchu yamen. It's so naive, and he didn't think about who has the final say in the entire Huating County. Most of the county governments are from ours, and the other half are from the Fang family. As long as I say hello, no one will be available from tomorrow.

"A county magistrate who has no one to be available and cannot even let go of a government order is a waste. Within three days, he will know how incompetent he is, and will naturally kneel in front of me."

Speaking of this, Xu Ziyang sneered again: "It was a bit difficult to deal with, but today he dared to urge someone to spit out the silver and other things in the hall. That was really unhappy. I can guarantee that there are more than a hundred people in the county government office now, and none of them don't want to drive him out of Huating, so they will naturally be happy to cooperate with us.

"Xu Mo, you'll send someone to all the people in the county government. I want to make no one available in the county government tomorrow, whether it's a servant or a servant!"

"Yes, my son knows, I'll do it now." Xu Mo immediately felt excited and agreed loudly, then greeted some of the brothers who were close to each other, and everyone went out to make arrangements.

Xu Ziyang looked at Xu Sen again at this time: "By the way, where is Xu Gong? Didn't I ask you to call him? Why didn't you see anyone at this time?" The sun was about to set, and it was indeed very early.

Xu Sen hesitated for a moment before saying honestly: "Uncle, I did tell him about this before in the county government, but at that time he looked at the absent-minded person and didn't know whether he could listen. Later, when I went to the inn, I found that he had left."

"Leaving? What do you mean? Are you saying he left Huating County?" Xu Ziyang frowned even more, feeling something was wrong.

Xu Sen nodded: "Just noon, when he returned to the inn from the county government office, he hurriedly packed his luggage and took his family away without any explanation. Later, he heard that someone from the city gate saw his family and his group leaving the city."

"Why did they dare to leave?" Xu Ziyang muttered suspiciously at first, and then understood, "Is it Li Ling who asked him to leave?"

As far as Xu Ziyang knows, Xu Gong's various after-handovers in this county have not been completed, how can he leave just by saying that? But then he thought that the person who was going to hand over to him was the new county magistrate Li Ling, so it makes sense, because as long as County Magistrate Li nodded, he could leave at any time regardless of whether the matter was completed or not.

But in this way, a new problem arises - why is Li Ling willing to let him go easily?

Didn’t he find out that there was a huge deficit in the banknote? It was necessary to recover the stolen goods. The county magistrate and other officials were naturally one way, but did Xu Gong, who was the former county magistrate of the county, also have problems? The only explanation is that he had surrendered and returned the money. If you think more deeply, he probably paid not only the money, but also the various internal information and evidence of the corruption of the people in the yamen.

The more he thought about it, the more Xu Ziyang felt that this guess was reasonable, and his face became even more ugly: "It's such an unfamiliar wolf cub. Xu Gong deserves to die. He thought that everything would be fine once he left like this. I must make him pay the price!"

After saying a hateful sentence, he returned to reality. Now their biggest enemy is Li Ling: "We have to be careful about this matter. In this way, we will send messages to the people in the county government and let them shut up and say nothing. If someone really asks me, we will put the responsibility for the shortage of the silver warehouse and the granary on those officials. Do you understand?"

Someone immediately responded to his orders and then hurried to do it.

For a moment, everyone in the Xu family was busy. After making these series of instructions, Xu Ziyang finally felt a little relieved and felt a little tired, and someone helped him back to rest. After he was almost seventy years old, he would naturally feel exhausted physically and mentally after he was very angry and had to make arrangements for the targeted area.

As the head of the family returned, the brothers of the clan gathered on Xu Wang's side also dispersed. However, Xu Kun stopped Xu Mao, who was in a daze, at this time, and said, "Lao Liu, what are you thinking?"

"No, nothing." Xu Mao would not admit that he was a little scared by Xu Wang's fate. In addition to being angry, he was more afraid. When he was dismissed, he also wanted to question and cause trouble. Fortunately, he endured it at that time, otherwise he would be the one who was lying in bed now.

Xu Kun did not notice his thoughts, but just stared at him and said, "Lao Liu, can you really bear this tone? He is not the Lao Wu this time, it is clearly a slap in the face of our entire Xu family. I think many people in the city know about this and are secretly laughing at our Xu family for being like this."

"What the third brother said is, what do you mean?" Xu Mao asked perfunctorily, but he felt that the old man had already given a countermeasure. Can we still make decisions for our younger generations?

"My father is also confused and does not understand the importance of this. Yes, we can use his hand to force Li Ling to surrender, but when will it take? Three or five days, or ten or eight days? At that time, my Xu family was completely covered in all his face, and they fell on the ground and were stepped on again and again. How can we suppress the people in the city in the future? Some things must not be retreated. Once they retreat, it will be difficult to get them back."

Xu Mao finally calmed down at this time. Thinking about Xu Kun’s words carefully, he felt a little reasonable. So after hesitating for a while, he said, “What do you mean is to take revenge? Yes, but Li Ling is protected by that powerful person…”

"With the masters guarding him, can't we find a master to deal with him? Our Huating County is small, but we can still find powerful people in Songjiang. For example, the people from the Dajiang Gang, have you mentioned to me before that many of them are famous figures in the world? And the Dongsang people on the sea are also a group of people who dare to kill people. As long as you give enough money, you still have to worry about not being able to find someone to vent your anger for us?" Xu Kun said his thoughts with a sinister face, but scared Xu Mao to the point of being stunned.

After a while, he stared at his brother: "You... are you serious? Do you really want to make a big deal?"

"What's wrong? I can't swallow this tone anyway! Also, even if there are someone to protect Li Ling, no one will protect his family who stayed in the Houya, right? As long as you grab these people and pass on a sentence, I want him to climb to our Xu family and kowtow to admit his mistake, he dare not refuse to obey!"

The other party was really here, and he had already put his ideas on Li Ling's family. Xu Mao was shocked and felt that this matter could be done. But then he thought of a key point: "Third brother, the people from Dongsang cannot contact you for a while. I can really find the people from the Dajiang Gang, but their price is not low, and I..."
