Seeing Li Ling coming alone, his subordinate who was gathering together and whispering to the bottom of his mouth quickly stepped forward and asked, "Sir, what is his attitude?"

Li Ling sneered: "What else can you do? Naturally, I refuse to admit it. I want to drive us out of Yingzhou as soon as possible."

"It's really outrageous. His small local magistrate dared to be so unscrupulous..."

Li Ling's eyes swept around and clearly felt the resistance and hostility of the officials of the government office, and said, "Go back first, take Pang Sihai and a few more, and then go back to the inn." There are so many people here, so naturally they are not the place to discuss countermeasures.

Several subordinates also understood and agreed, and then followed him out. Then their actions were naturally reported to Ma Bangwen, who was also gloomy in his face. He only pondered for a moment and said, "Send some people to keep an eye on them. Also, Zhao and Qian families also informed them, so that they would be smarter."

The subordinates immediately understood and agreed repeatedly, and arranged for their subordinates to do the two things. They could see that Mr. Ma was very unhappy today and did not dare to make him angry.

On the other hand, Li Ling and others returned to the inn and asked people to stay around the yard to prevent others from getting close to them. Then Li Ling gathered Li Moyun and Geng Qi and a few confidants to discuss it. The latter's face looked even worse than Li Ling, and he muttered even more: "Sir, you can't just forget about this case..." He endured the disgust and broke the Jiao corpse. Such a great sacrifice could not be wasted.

"Yes, now it's not only a matter of two lives, but also a matter of the entire Yingzhou government, and even the entire Lianghuai." Li Ling's eyes flashed, and he talked about his thoughts, "Do you feel strange that he, a local magistrate, got the courage to be enemies with me? Especially when he obviously made a big mistake, he dared to be so arrogant. In addition to relying on his own deceived the people and used it for him, he also consciously had a backer.

"I think this backer will not be above the court. At the moment, the situation in the northern border is clear and everyone in the court knows that to be an enemy of me in this matter is to go against Your Majesty, and the fate will inevitably be miserable. So the only explanation is that behind him are the local officials and the real officials in the border."

Li Ling's statement immediately made the faces of the people more and more serious. He didn't expect that a seemingly small thing could lead to such a big fish. There were only a few high-ranking officials above the prefect. Judging from the current situation in the two Huai Rivers, it should be between the governor of the two Huai Rivers, the governor of the two Huai Rivers, the governor of the Huai River, the transfer envoy of the two Huai Rivers, and other a few high-ranking officials.

After a pause, Li Ling looked at one of them: "Lei Ziming, you are from the Imperial City Department. It should not be too difficult to find out the foundation of Ma Bangwen. I will leave this matter to you. Be sure to dig it out for me with the backing of him. No matter who he is, I will uproot it this time!"

"As for your orders!" Lei Ziming suddenly felt energetic and held his fists to respond.

"As for the others, I will continue to fight him with me. Since the other clues have been deliberately cut off by him, let's go from the two murders as a breakthrough!" Li Ling was not discouraged at all and still wanted to go down this road. "The deaths of Zhao Qian and the others are enough to illustrate the problem. As long as you go to their homes to dig carefully, you can always dig out the whole story and their shameful activities."

As soon as he said this, Geng Qi on the other side quickly said, "Sir, let me leave this matter."

"Okay, I'm too eye-catching. You can go to those two families to ask questions with me." Li Ling nodded in agreement.

At this moment, their subordinates and others quickly acted separately. As officials from the capital, they have their own pride, but now they are hitting a wall here, which is not something they can accept.

Geng Qi, who was eager to accomplish this, did not delay any delay, and even did not eat lunch. After changing his clothes, he went out with a few brothers and headed straight to Zhao Qian's family who had been inquiring about it.

Then more than an hour later, he rushed back in disappointment, full of anger and didn't need to report it. Li Ling already knew what the result was: "They are unwilling to cooperate?"

"Yes, both families have the same attitude. Beizhi said that they would ensure their safety, but in the end, whether it is the Zhao family or the Qian family, whether it is men or women, they all say that they don't know anything... Moreover, Qian Hai's brother Qian Jiang insisted that his brother died because of the adults, and he refused to admit that they died first and then were burned..." Thinking of the unpleasant words at the time, Geng Qi felt even more angry. After saying that, he punched the coffee table, and he didn't even bother to be the adults.

Li Ling seemed quite calm and even smiled slightly: "This is as expected by me. Since Ma Bangwen dared to be so unscrupulous, he naturally relied on being able to cover the sky with one hand in Yingzhou. For ordinary people, he might be deceiving and deceiving, but for subordinate officials and their families, I am afraid that they can see how cruel they are.

"For them, the officials who came from the capital cannot make any more hope. After all, the county magistrate is not as good as the current management. We will leave at any time, but they cannot do it. Once they offend the prefect, the consequences will be serious. And there are also the lessons from Zhao Guang and Qian Hai. How can their families dare to use it for me?"

"So you all know that, then you... let Bei Zhi go this time..."

"This is just a temptation, and it is not completely unrealized. At least one thing is certain that there is indeed a big problem with the deaths of Zhao and Qian, otherwise Ma Bangwen would not have to shut up so obviously."

Li Ling said, his eyes narrowed: "But what I am more interested in is that since he has covered the sky with one hand, why did he kill these two little people? I can't really put pressure on me, thinking that burning those accounts is not enough, and I want to impose a charge of killing innocent people on me, right?"

"My lord means..." Geng Qi blinked his eyes and guessed something vaguely, "He had to kill them because he was worried that some of the things they had mastered would cause a catastrophe to him?"

"Yes, so now our goal is to find out what shameful secrets they have mastered." Li Ling said seriously, "I think with their minds, they should still have a backup plan, and those who know this must be the ones they are closest to."

Geng Qi, who was still a little excited, was a little discouraged when he heard this. Isn’t this a turn back? The only people who are close to Zhao Qian and the others are family members, but now they are unwilling to cooperate at all. How can we check it?

"Then continue to send people to the door and slowly grind them. The so-called sincerity is the only way to open up the gold and stone. After all, we want to give them justice and seek justice for the deceased. Could it be that their family, especially the close person who can be entrusted with heavy responsibilities, really bear to watch them die unjustly?"

Li Ling's decision was simple, but his subordinates were busy. So starting this afternoon, for two consecutive days, people kept coming to the Zhao and Qian families, using various rhetoric to lobby them, trying to get them to stand up and seek justice.

But they let their mouths get worn out and they said a lot of good things, but they were still unmoved. In the end, they didn't even let them in.

The soldiers under his command were naturally angry and confused about this result. I wonder why Lord Li was so persistent in persuading others to tell the truth. If they were based on their temper, they would have taken down both families and then used a forced examination to find an answer.

Of course, all of this action fell under the scrutiny of the government office and reported to Magistrate Ma in time. After two or three days, Ma Bangwen went from annoyed to calm, and now he felt a little funny: "What are they using today?"

"Yes, sir, this time they didn't even change people. They came to the door three times in the morning, noon and evening to meet, and then the Zhao and Qian families are now reluctant to meet each other." The subordinate laughed, as if they were watching a joke.

Hu Yi, who was almost convicted, said worriedly: "Sir, do you think Li Ling will lose patience and then do something to arrest someone for a forced trial?"

"I want to do this." Ma Bangwen sneered, "He has power now and his official position is above me. I really have no way to deal with him. But as long as his subordinates really do the act of forcing people to take them, it will be enough for me to take them and drive them out of my Yingzhou territory. By then, not only will the matter be settled, but I can also take the opportunity to impeach him, Li Ling, and take care of his life. As long as two or three more people die, he will not even think of clearing his way into the Yellow River."

This made all the subordinates feel cold. His own master is indeed cruel and even he has such an attitude towards high-ranking officials in the court. Therefore, it is indeed the wisest to wait for him to obey the orders. Although Li Ling has a higher official position, he is beyond the reach and has concerns. How could he be his own master's opponent?

At this time, not only the people in the government office thought so, but even many people around Li Ling felt that this incident would end in failure. After all, there is almost no conclusive evidence in their hands. In Yingzhou, Ma Taifu covered the sky, and Lord Li was so restrained, and there was really no chance.

In this way, another day passed, and the first month was about to pass. If there was no breakthrough, I was afraid that Li Ling and the others would have to leave Yingzhou. Unless there were any more accidents or accidents...
