In fact, if we really talk about it, the government office is more crowded here. Li Ling's guards are only about twenty people, but more than fifty government office soldiers are guarding the warehouse. But at this time they did not have any intention of taking action, because they were also shocked by the scene in front of them, and then they watched their adults be pushed to the other side of the warehouse.

Ma Bangwen was almost pushed down in front of Li Ling. After finally stabilizing his body, he really showed panic: "Mr. Li, please listen to the official, I... I don't know why it's here..."

Li Ling ignored his pale defense at all and suddenly asked, "Why did Xuan Huai die? Was he really fallen into the water because of a mistake?"

This sudden question shocked Ma Bangwen's body even more, his legs became weak, and he finally knelt in front of Li Ling. In addition to surprise, he was very scared: How did he know about this?

This happened two or three months ago. The man was buried. The whole mansion only knew that Xuan Huai fell into the water and died when he was drunk. How could Li Ling, who had just been here for a few days, know that there was something else wrong with it?

Such guilty expression made Li Ling immediately convinced that the content on those sheets of paper was undoubtedly accurate, and the sneer on his face became deeper and deeper: "If you don't know if you don't do it yourself, Ma Bangwen, do you think that the things you did will really not be revealed for a day? Because of your own selfishness, you not only deceive your superiors and subordinates, but also kill many lives. If you have a little conscience, just give me all the truth. Otherwise, under the law of the king, I will definitely pay a heavier price!"

As he spoke, Li Ling's aura opened up and hit the other party like a mountain pressing down on the top of the mountain, causing Ma Bangwen to crawl on the ground and tremble. The people around him also felt a strong pressure. After a wave of pressure, they all came. The strong men in the open space in front of him knelt on the ground and kowtowed to mercy: "Sir, please spare me, the younger ones are just obedient. It was Mr. Jia who asked us to guard here. Everything has nothing to do with us..."

"Master Jia? Is Jia Zhengfeng?" Li Ling's heart moved and immediately remembered a local gentry with extraordinary temperament at the reception banquet a few days ago. At that time, the other party seemed to be very close to Ma Bangwen.

"That's right!" At this time, everyone dared not hide it anymore, and immediately confessed honestly, "The manor here is Mr. Jia's property, and we are all hired by him to guard the yard..."

Li Ling knew it and looked down again, looking at Ma Bangwen who was crawling at his feet: "Master Ma, what else do you have to say?"

"I..." Ma Bangwen opened his mouth, speechless for a moment, but his heart had sink into the bottom of the valley. He knew very well that as these secrets were dug out, he would be completely finished. Not to mention that Li Ling would not let him go, even the people of Yingzhou would regard him as their biggest enemy. As long as he was letting him go and the truth was revealed, the angry people would inevitably tear him to pieces!

Yes, after years of operation, Ma Bangwen did have a powerful force in Yingzhou, but that was ultimately empty. It was achieved through various means of deceiving superiors and concealing subordinates. It was the result that the people were deceived by him and thought that he was a good official who could rule the people. He could get considerable benefits from his subordinates, and it was the prestige that accumulated when he had a big backer.

It seems solid, but its foundation is actually fake. Ma Bangwen has never been a honest official, and even has done many shameful things behind his back for his own interests. Once these things are really exposed and the foundation is destroyed, the higher he stands, the more miserable he dies.

Li Ling glanced at Ma Bangwen, who had already kneeled and said speechlessly, and decisively ordered: "Tie him up, and take all these people back to the government office. Then seal everything here, you..." He suddenly turned around and pointed to the government office clerk who was still standing at the entrance of the warehouse on the other side. "Let's go to the government office to mobilize people and guard this place. This place is the most important evidence, and there must be no negligence!"

The official was slightly stunned, and then felt a burst of ecstasy. Such an arrangement meant that Lord Li did not intend to pursue his subordinates. As for Magistrate Ma... Now that the disaster is coming, he can't take care of himself and cares whether he is dead or alive! At that moment, he quickly agreed loudly, turned around and ran out in a hurry.

His movement gave other government officials a signal. After his concerns were gone, he didn't need Li Ling to give the order again. He followed the orders, and went forward to take the people and guard the door, and carried out meticulously.

Li Ling was not really relieved until this time. He was really worried that these guys would not obey orders. After all, he was just an outsider, and he did not have much shock. But now it seems that he was a little worried. After all, he was still under the rule of Dayue!

...

Today's Yingzhou Prefecture City is doomed to be in peace. There were incidents between the Zhao and Qian families during the day. Then in the evening, when everyone went home to rest, a large number of people suddenly rushed by on the street. When everyone opened the door curiously to check, they saw hundreds of government servants and soldiers lit torches and galloping rapidly, holding weapons in their other hand. The posture scared many people very much.

Then many people were surprised to find that these officers and soldiers rushed to the Jia family, a wealthy man in the city who had always been high and had guests at the government office. Soon, shouting and crying sounded. Afterwards, some people near the Jia Mansion saw an even more amazing scene. Mr. Jia Zhengfeng, his sons, and several officials in the mansion were tied with ropes, half-dragged and half-pulled, and were taken to the government office in an extremely embarrassing manner.

Finally, before everyone could calm down from this shock, another team of people came from the south of the city, and escorted many dejected people. If the one among them had not been shining with torches and clearly presented his face, they would not have believed that what they saw was true - that was the prefect!

The situation is about to change! Something big is going to happen in Yingzhou Prefecture!

Everyone's minds turned to this thought, and then they were deeply confused. Although they were full of doubts, they didn't have the courage to inquire and understand, so they could only hide at home, guessing what major changes happened and what changes would happen in Yingzhou City next.

...

It was almost the second day before Li Ling obeyed the people and returned to the government office.

This time, he took the initiative to sit in the top of the court. When things got to this point, he decided to fight quickly, so he did not delay and did not want to wait until the trial will be retried tomorrow.

With a bang, he stopped shouting: "Bring me the person!"

As soon as he finished speaking, one of his men was put into court. However, it was not Ma Bangwen or Jia Zhengfeng, but Hu Yi, the government official who was tried for the second time. After a few days, he became a defendant again, but the situation at this time was more passive than that day, and he seemed more panicked. He didn't need Li Ling and the others to order, so he knelt down obediently.

Hu Yi was waiting for news in the government office, but what he was waiting for was an order. As soon as he was about to raise an objection, he was taken down by his subordinates who were left here by Li Ling. Then the result was terrified that he was presented one by one. Jia Zhengfeng's whole family was taken, and even the prefect actually went to Changping's position and became a prisoner.

At this time, as one of Ma Bangwen's accomplices, he still didn't know what all this meant? So, when he was dragged to court for trial again, he had no idea of ​​resisting and could only listen to the trial obediently.

"Hu Yi, I will give you a chance to relieve your sins in the end. Don't miss it. Let me ask you, how did Zhao Guang and Qian Hai die?" Li Ling did not go through the procedure of asking the person's name, and went straight to the point and started interrogating.

Hu Yi was obviously confused for a moment before he honestly explained: "They...they were suffocated by the officials and threw them into the fire..."

"Very good, which ones are doing it?"

Hu Yi naturally did not dare to hide it. He read the names one by one. They were his former confidants. And as these names were reported, some people on the left and right took action quickly and took down all the few who were summoned outside. Under such circumstances, they could not even resist at all, and quickly became prisoners, but some people were angry and screamed:

"Sir, we just obey our orders. Everything is decided by the will. We are forced to do so..."

Faced with such a quibbling, Li Ling only sneered: "You are accomplices of the tiger and have the face to complain to yourself? If you really don't want to harm others, you can sue the superiors instead of obeying orders and committing such atrocities! He is guilty, and you are guilty!"

As he said that, he ignored them and stared at Hu Yi: "I'm afraid you have committed more than this crime? Tell me, besides killing Zhao Qian and the others, what other innocent people have you committed?"

Hu Yi, who was kneeling on the ground, kept trembling, but he did not speak out, as if he wanted to use this method to hide his fault. But Li Ling did not give him this opportunity and hummed: "It seems that your memory is really not good, so let me remind you, why did you kill Zhao Guang and the others? Say!"

"I..." Hu Yi was still making the last insistence, but he heard Li Ling slamming the table: "But because of Xuan Huai? Why did he die? If you dare to hide it again, I will ask someone to torture you now. Since you are the reproacher, you should know what these tortures are wonderful!"

With Li Ling's shout, soldiers on both sides shouted: "I won't call you yet!" Then, several torture instruments with blood were thrown in front of him, which made Hu Yi even more panicked, and his body trembled violently. Suddenly, he kowtowed and shouted in a crying voice: "Sir, please spare your life... Hu Zi's instructions, Hu Zi will tell you everything..."
