Another big storm will be set off in the court, and the ending of King Yong and his remnants is also destined. For a time, everyone in the capital and in the officialdom, everyone was in danger, and various statements were rampant.

But as the source of all this, Li Ling, who is in his hometown Jiangcheng County, has no interest in all this. He is just busy arranging his father's funeral and also welcomes his wife and daughter's family back.

Yes, two days after Li Ling returned to Jiangcheng County, Yang Qingxiao and the others finally came back from the water route. After careful calculation, the water route was much slower than the land route. After all, Li Ling stayed in Qingshan County and Xuzhou City for many days.

When Li Ling learned from Yang Qingxiao that they had been attacked by people from the Imperial City Division on the road, except for some fears, he was naturally angry: "They really don't care about it, and even my family is unwilling to let go. It seems that I did things right this time. An opponent like this should not give them any chance. As long as they are held, they should put them to death!"

"Li Lang, have you really solved the problem? You should have encountered a lot of dangers along the way, right?" Yang Qingxiao then remembered that Li Ling was their real goal, and asked quickly with concern.

Li Ling did not hide it, so he told his own experiences along the way. Yang Qingxiao was also afraid and angry and said repeatedly: "They deserve to die, especially the guys behind him. Killing them ten times is not enough to relieve their hatred!"

"Don't worry, their doomsday is coming." Li Ling hugged his wife and said lightly. Then he sighed again: "This time it was thanks to the brothers of the Cao Gang who helped, especially the elder brother. If he had not been willing to take action, your safety would be hard to say."

"You call him elder brother too, that's a family. Why do you have to say these words of thanks?" Yang Qingxiao pretended to be angry and gently twisted Li Ling.

"Yes, yes, it's me that I've been saying a word. We are a family, and we don't know each other. I'll help him and he helps me, it's all right." Li Ling quickly corrected the truth, which made Yang Qingxiao change his anger to a smile: "Hmph, you still have a little conscience. By the way, my brother said that he will attend this funeral, which day will it be."

"Three days later, the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month." Li Ling said lightly. In fact, he was not too concerned about this matter. He was also very resentful and caring for Li Tong. After all, that guy really had nothing to do with him, and he cheated him many times.

However, the rest of the family obviously did not think so. When the couple were talking outside, there were already crying in the mourning hall behind him. It was Li Le'er and Li Yue'er sisters, and their niece who had changed their name to Li Tangtang, were crying in front of their father (grandfather) in front of their father (grandfather), and they were crying and crying. They were so sad.

In fact, Li Yue'er is better. After all, her relationship with her father is not very close. After she became sensible, she relied on her brother for life. But Li Le'er and his daughter are different. They have lived with Li Tong over the years. It can be said that he has taken care of the two mother and daughter for many years. The real family is now separated by yin and yang, so naturally heartbroken.

Li Ling did not reveal the true hidden secrets of the family relationship, so Li Yue'er always thought that she was the father's flesh and blood like her sister and brother. Under the infection of her sister and niece, she naturally cried sadly. The crying of the three girls came one after another, making everyone around her.

It was also a bit sad.

Yang Qingxiao's mood also became much lower, and she looked at Li Ling and said, "So you plan to keep keeping the truth of the matter?"

"Well, this is the best result. In my mind, they are my sisters and sisters, my family, and I have the responsibility to protect them. You won't blame me for this, right?"

"How is it possible, am I such a person?" Yang Qingxiao snorted. She liked such a affectionate and kind husband. However, this sentence was not expressed in the end. After a while with her husband, she also entered the mourning hall and accompanied the three girls to guard Li Tongling, fulfilling her filial piety as a daughter-in-law.

...

On the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, early in the morning, there was a constant stream of people in front of the small Li's house, and the carriages and horses were like a bustling city.

Because today is the day Li Ling decided to hold a funeral for his father, even if he is not an official in the court, there are still people in the small Jiangcheng County who come to flatter Li Tong early in the morning.

Among them are friends like Gu Yuezi who had a deep friendship with Li Ling, and those who were related to business dealings. The gentry in the city also came, and some officials from the county government also came.

Everyone was depressed in front of Li Ling, and said words like sadness to him, and the gift of silk was also quite generous. In the eyes of these people, this was a rare opportunity to have a good relationship with Lord Li. This investment was only a small one but not too much - after all, Lord Li had already gotten married, so I am afraid that it would not be my turn to participate in other happy events.

After a while, he welcomed and sent him off, and brought new guests to the mourning hall to worship. Li Ling, a son, was really busy. Fortunately, Gu Yuezi and his son brought people to help him, they were quite familiar with these things, so there was no big mistake in this funeral, but even so, Li Ling was still very tired.

It was not until the sun was west and the day was about to pass that Li Ling could take a break, stand alone on the edge of the coffin, pressed his hand on the coffin board with a smile, and whispered: "I think you would never have thought that after your death, there would be such a grief after you die. To be honest, I treat you really well, but you, besides cheating me, you just cheat me..."

Just as he was feeling, Li Xu walked over behind him, stood in front of the door and whispered: "Master..."

As the chief manager of the Li family, even though he had returned to Jiangcheng from Beijing, he was still in charge of all the affairs of his family, especially on such important days today, and he was so busy. With Li Ling's trust in him, he could make decisions on his own. Now that he came here, he obviously had something important to report.

So Li Ling let go of his worries and turned to look at him: "What do you mean?"

"Well... the county magistrate of this county and two other assistants have not come yet. Look at the sky..." Li Xu said hesitantly, "There are also Hengzhou prefects and subordinate officials, but no one has come to the door." There was a clear hint of doubt and complaint in his tone. Why are these officials so realistic that they never come to the door.

It would be fine if Hengzhou Prefecture is there, after all, it will take some time to come, but the officials in this county have already agreed to come before, so are they so arrogant? Their own master is just Ding You, and they are not really dismissed from office or something.

Seeing him looking indignant, Li Ling laughed: "I actually thought of this, so I delayed the funeral for several days, which is also considering them, otherwise it might delay their future. Don't forget that he is the elder of Luo Tian Sect. He was an imperial prisoner who was executed by the imperial court for the death penalty. It is already a great honor to allow me to collect the body."

"But, Master, you are not involved..." Li Xu murmured in a low voice, and Li Ling shook his head: "No need to say it, don't mention this matter to others. It is right that they don't come. Don't have any conflicts with the county government in the future."

"Yes... the master is open-minded, but he is very good at comparing to others." Li Xu could only praise him and retreat obediently.

The fact is just as Li Ling said. Before, Tian Bingwen and the others agreed to come to pay tribute without knowing it. However, with the buffering of these days, after talking to the above, the few people in the small county town realized the twists and turns of Li Tong's death, which made them feel annoyed and embarrassed.

Since Li Ling was not implicated, it means that he is indeed quite powerful in the court, and he should be flattered by himself. But this does not mean that they can worship Li Tong, the leader of the Luotian Sect, as Li Ling, and he can still be safe and sound. At that time, various impeachments will be able to overwhelm them, and even the current small officials will not be able to continue to be regarded as a small official.

So in the end they had to choose to break the appointment, but they were worried that Li Ling would blame him. After all, they had made a promise before. So after some thought and discussion, the three of them decided to find someone to replace him.

After dark that day, the county magistrate sneaked up on the door, took out three pieces of silk gold, and kept accusing Li Ling of the difficulties of the adults. Li Ling did not make things difficult for him, but just comforted him a few words and asked him to incense the spiritual seat on behalf of the three adults, so he sent him away.

In Li Ling's opinion, those three local officials were already polite enough to do this, and even the last bit of unhappiness in his heart disappeared.

Originally, after the master left, Li Ling thought that there would be no more guests coming to the door today. As the second update approached, Li Xu came to report again: "Master, uncle, he is here."

"Oh? Brother is here?" Li Ling was excited and told someone to go and notify Yang Qingxiao, and he quickly stepped out to greet him. Sure enough, in front of the gate, he saw Yang Qinghou, who was exhausted. When the other party saw him greeting him in person, he smiled: "Wen Zhong, I'm not late, right?"

"No, brother, you are coming all the way quickly, which really makes me feel a little ashamed." Li Ling hurried forward to greet him, and Yang Qinghou immediately stopped him: "You are an official and I am a civilian, so you can't do it."

"What official and civilians are we a family, you are brother and I are brothers."

"Haha, I just love to listen to this. Let's go in together." Yang Qinghou was very happy when he saw Li Ling's attitude. He smiled and held hands with him to enter the door, and then kowtowed to burn incense at the mourning hall first.

When he got up, Yang Qingxiao also arrived, and the brother and sister had not had a good time for two years. Naturally, there was a need for greetings, and then they were invited to the hall on the other side to see the tea and talk.
