Fang Jinbo was silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "Actually, our plan was destroyed by you early in the morning, not only the river bank, but also the Xu family."

"Huh?" Li Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was thinking of something, "Xu family, is this related to them?"

"Do you think the Xu family is not from my Holy Sect, so why can we compete with our family here, and even seem to be more powerful than us?" Fang Jinbo was calm at this time and asked such a question.

Li Ling thought for a while and understood what he meant. Yes, behind the Fang family was the Luotian Sect, which had amazing power, and the Xu family was just an ordinary local tyrant, and was incomparable to the previous Jiangcheng merchants. So if the Fang family really wanted to deal with them, they could say that they could be done without any effort, so their existence itself means that there was a problem. And I have never delved into this.

Seeing that Li Ling had understood what he meant, Fang Jinbo said again: "So the Xu family was just a chess piece that was used by us and pushed to the front. Their existence has two uses, one is to cover up and let more people, including the government, focus on the Xu family, just as you did before, thus ignoring our Fang family."

Li Ling nodded. Since he took office, the Xu family has been making trouble with him. During that period, he really ignored the Fang family. It was not until the Xu family was completely defeated and discovered food problems that he focused his attention on the Fang family again.

Fang Jinbo continued to say: "Secondly, the existence of the Xu family is also a target. They have done many evil things over the years and harmed many people. Most of the people in the county dare not speak out about them, but this is just a temporary manifestation. As long as the opportunity is right, a fire on this dry firewood of hatred will be lit up, and the anger accumulated over the years will be a prairie fire, completely burning the Xu family and even the entire Huating County Government.

"So you have to ask how we will provoke public grievances and how to do things. Just pushing the Xu family to the opposite side of the crowd would be enough to accomplish things. Moreover, Huating was in a flood at that time. With the Xu family's style and our people pushing from the side, they will inevitably do more things that are angry and resentful. If ten or twenty innocent people die, then one hundred or two hundred will die... When new and old hatreds are truly accumulated somewhere, our family just needs to take out food and climb the high ground and call, and then they can sweep the whole county with public opinion, and then the entire Songjiang Prefecture..."

After these words, Li Ling felt a little scared, and he felt a little scared. Fortunately, after taking office, he did not first get into vain and stubbornly with these local forces like ordinary local officials, and slowly entangled with them, otherwise Huating might have been in chaos at this time.

It turned out that the Xu family was just a pig raised by the Fang family and Luo Tian. It seemed to be fat and strong, but in fact, their life and death were already destined. As soon as the opportunity came, they would use death to ignite the anger of the people of the county towards the government and the court! If this plan was implemented seriously, I am afraid that they might face the danger of life and death.

"It's really easy to plan and layout." Li Ling praised sincerely, "I think this set of strategies not only I have in Huating, but also in similar arrangements elsewhere, right? Tell me, which prefectures and counties have you arranged such a vicious plan in which states, prefectures and counties?"

"Of course there are many, such as there are two counties in Songjiang Prefecture, and there are many arrangements in Yangzhou Prefecture and Shanyin area. However, I am not the true elder of the Dharma Protector in the Sect who is in charge of the affairs, so I only know the general idea. Only when Huating is completed and I have further contact with them will I know the details of the initiation in other places..."

Li Ling was obviously not satisfied with his answer, and immediately lowered his head and stared at Fang Jinbo. The latter was calm and lay there looking at him, saying, "I only know so much. My Holy Church has been an enemy of the court for a hundred years and has long been used to protecting itself. Even a helm leader like me, he has not had as many secrets as you imagine..."

Li Ling could see that what he said was true, so he stopped exerting pressure and nodded slightly: "Okay, I won't mention this matter for now. I will ask you an extremely important thing next. As far as I know, in recent years, you have left the county town several times a year. I think you will not go to business, but meet some important figures of your Luotian Sect. What I need to know now is the identity of these people, where is the current place? And where is the place where you met them?"

This question once again made Fang Jinbo confused. If he really explained all these secrets, it would be a real betrayal of the Holy Church and there would be no possibility of turning back.

Li Ling, who saw that he was hesitant, became more and more confident, but he did not relax at all and continued to put pressure on him: "I think it is no longer important for you to betray or not, because you will definitely die! But for your family, this is very important, because not only can this official determine their life and death, but even the Luotian Sect, who you are loyal to, can determine whether they are alive or dead!

"Once I spread everything today, you will confirm the identity of a traitor to the Luotian Sect. At that time, even if I let your family go, how will they retaliate against you and your family in the event of failure? So you explain everything not only for but also for your family."

"You..." Fang Jinbo's face was distorted, full of resentment and resentment. It turned out that his choice had completely cut off his and his family's retreat. At this time, he had no choice but to cooperate with Li Ling. At the same time, this understanding also made him more and more afraid of Li Ling. The young county magistrate's method was so cruel and the accuracy of grasping people's hearts was far beyond his estimate.

Finally, he no longer had any worries and slowly said more hidden information: "Every two or three months, I will leave Huating and go to Jinling on the pretext of business dealings..."

It was in Jinling. These guys are so brave. No, they should be said to have a great appetite! A light flashed in Li Ling's eyes. Jinling is the most important city in Jiangnan. Once this city with tigers and dragons falls into the hands of Luo Tian Sect, it will inevitably cause chaos in Jiangnan and turmoil in the world!

"I have been going to Qixia Temple on Qixia Mountain outside the city. The master of the temple, Taoist Tianyuan, is an important figure in my sect. Every time, the rudders of our various parts of Jiangnan will gather there to discuss the next plan. The most recent one is to set the final time for the uprising and at the same time make sure that everything will not be wrong..."

Li Ling browsed: "So how many people are you doing damage in how many prefectures and counties this time?"

"I don't know, there were more than 20 people who gathered that day, and not all of them. In addition, Elder Fire will also appear at a critical moment as the leader of this major event!"

"Elder Fire?" Li Ling looked moved and asked anxiously, "What is his identity now?"

This person is very important, not only because he is the real leader of the chaos in Jiangnan, but also because he is the second elder exposed in the Luotian Sect.

Earth Fire and Kong Feng, the four elders, are important information Li Ling asked from the prisoners of Luotian Sect when he was in the southwest. Over the years, Luotian Sect has secretly become enemies with the government, causing great damage. The government has also captured and killed many related believers, but to this day, the exact identities of these four elders are still a mystery.

Oh by the way, in fact, Li Ling has already mastered the identity of the elder in the land, that is, Zhao Chenghuang, a manager of the Ji family in Pingjiang County who had met with him and seemed quite inconspicuous.

Unfortunately, when Li Ling reported this conclusive news and the court sent another troops to capture it, the Ji family had already been destroyed, and Zhao Chenghuang naturally disappeared completely.

Now, another senior Fire elder of the Luotian Sect who is equivalent to Zhao Chenghuang appeared in Li Ling's sight, and he naturally wanted to know his identity.

But Fang Jinbo's reply disappointed him, and he shook his head gently: "I don't know."

"I don't know? Are you not the leader of Luo Tian's helm? How could you not know the identity of the person above?"

"Because I am not a confidant of Elder Huo, and I have always been on the surface, and I have the possibility of being arrested by the government at any time. How could Elder Huo let me know his exact identity? Although I have met Elder Huo several times in Qixia Temple before, every time he has a mask, making me not know his true appearance at all, let alone his identity. The only thing I know is that he should be a senior man, and he should be a warrior because he is a majestic body."

No, this is all the information about Elder Fire... Li Ling snorted with regret: "Well, apart from him, have you ever had contact with those Luotian Sect people from all over the world? Tell me all their identities!"

Fang Jinbo no longer rudes about this request. After a moment of thinking, he reported a series of names of people, which prefecture and county in Jiangnan they are now, and their respective superficial identities.

After more than a dozen people with different identities but also possessed the names of quite powerful guys, Li Ling's ears, his face became more and more serious. This time, the situation in Jiangnan was indeed very dangerous. If these people were really activated one after another, they would be afraid that they would really cause chaos. During this period, how many innocent people would be implicated and died.

What made Li Ling even more helpless was that he knew how terrible all this was, but he was unable to solve it because it was too late, because he was just a small county magistrate after all, and he could not even make up for it.

The only thing he could do was to stabilize the situation in Huating, and then quickly send the relevant information to the government office, so that his teacher Wei Liang would report it again, hoping that everything would still be saved.

Having made up his mind, he did not continue to ask Fang Jinbo and asked someone to take him out. At the same time, he also promised him that he would bring his family to see him within three days in exchange for the whereabouts of the food.
