Although he was a little far from the city, the group who escaped from the sky did not dare to relax. Gu Gang still urged the horse to move forward, and Li Ling and the others who were talking also stepped up and followed the car.

Compared to Li Ling's slightly breathless performance in order to catch up with the carriage, Li Moyun seemed at ease, and his face was not even red. He could look around from time to time to confirm his safety. It was not until after hearing Li Ling's praise that he grinned again, and he disappeared from the fierceness he had just rushed to the city, leaving only honesty: "I can't afford to take this, I just felt very happy when I rushed like that just now."

Li Ling turned his head to look at him and sighed unconsciously. It was obvious that Li Moyun was very aggrieved in suffering criticism from others over the years, but he just forced himself to suppress this aggrievance and anger. This time, because he asked him to help, he found a reasonable excuse to release it.

Seeing him sighing, Li Moyun was a little uneasy: "But Mr. Li, don't worry, I'm still very sensible. They are all just minor injuries. They should be able to recover after lying on for a few days."

Li Ling nodded: "That's why I said you are amazing. Without you, we would have been taken down by them. I'm afraid that my sister and Tangtang would never think of going home again."

"By the way, what's going on? I'm still confused." This really reminded Li Moyun. He scratched his head and looked at Li Ling curiously: "Why are you intercepted by so many Wei family members?"

Li Ling had no need to hide this, so he simply told his own situation. He heard Li Moyun was silent again, but he didn't know how to evaluate it, so he could only sigh again.

While they were talking, they had walked more than ten miles. As time went by, the pedestrians on the road gradually became sparse, and the sun was about to sink to the west. At this time, Li Tong poked his head out of the car again: "Young Master, not far away is an official station. Should we stay there for a night and wait for tomorrow to set off?"

His proposal was naturally good. After a rush, the few people were frightened. At this time, they were even more exhausted and needed to find a place to rest for a while. So not only Li Tong, but also Gu Gang, and Yue'er, who also poked his head out, looked at Li Ling and waited for him to make a decision.

However, after pondering for a moment, he shook his head and objected: "No, it's still too close to the county town. Once the Wei family members or even the government are chasing us, it will be troublesome, so it's better to hurry up and leave here as soon as possible."

"But, young master, you should be very tired, and there is this horse..." Li Tong said worriedly, "If you continue to travel at night, I'm afraid something will happen."

Li Ling agreed with his statement, frowned and thought for a while and said, "Then just go to the inn to take a break and then hire another car, so that everyone will save some effort. But you must not stay for too long. You must leave Jiangbei County before the government there reacts!"

Nowadays, the transportation in Dayue is still quite developed and convenient, especially in the Central Plains, where there is often an official post station that is about twenty miles away on the official roads between counties. It not only allows you to eat and stay, but also spend money to hire cars and horses for transportation. Of course, not ordinary people have such rights. Only officials or scholars with fame can hire cars and horses at low prices.

Seeing that he had made up his mind, everyone stopped insisting. After all, Li Ling and others were more tired than Li Ling who was walking by the bus. He never said he wanted to rest. How could everyone object?

So soon after they arrived at the inn, they only ate some food, brought a few bags of water, hired one of the mule carts, and set off on the road again, hurried towards Jiangcheng.

It was not until he got into the car and no one was chasing him that Li Ling was completely relieved. Then, fear and doubt arose in his heart again.

I was afraid that it was not necessary to say that what he did this time was indeed too risky. As long as there was any mistake in any link, it would fail. As for the doubts, it was the reaction of the Jiangbei government.

According to normal principles, if I made such a big noise in the city, I would offend the Wei family. The relationship between the county government and them should take action in time. Even if I let myself wait for a horse because of the likes and dislikes of some people at the city gate, there should be pursuers at this moment. But now, the journey is so smooth that there is no one to see at all. This is too unreasonable, right?

But even if he had any doubts, Li Ling could not see through the inside story at this moment. However, he knew that such a result was the most beneficial to him. As long as he returned to Jiangcheng County, he would no longer have to be afraid of the Wei family!

...

At dusk, Wei Zhonghe, the head of the Wei family, sat in the side hall of the second county hall, with his face so gloomy that it could reflect the sky outside.

He had been waiting here for most of the time, but the county magistrate kept refusing to have something to show up, which made him increasingly impatient. Just when he was about to break out, he saw the county magistrate Wen Kai strode towards him with a familiar smile: "Let the Wei tribe wait for a long time, please forgive me more. It is really because the official business in the yamen is busy now, and I have delayed my time."

Wei Zhonghe took a breath and calmed down, then smiled a little stiffly: "Mr. Wen is so serious. How dare we, the common people, blame the government? Here comes..."

Before he could finish his words, Wen Kai waved his hand: "I have heard about the previous incident. Someone dared to do something to abduct people in my Jiangbei County. I must help the Wei family find the people and deal with them strictly. Of course, I will carefully find out all the hidden information in it without leaving any doubts!"

"Mr. Wen, what do you mean?" Wei Zhonghe's face changed suddenly, and he suddenly stared at the other party and asked.

Wen Kai just beat him up: "It's not interesting. I'm just talking about the matter. Clan Wei, please don't think too much..."

"But some things cannot be left unthinking. I really don't understand why the people in the government watched the thieves leave, and why, when the Wei family organization wanted to chase, you suddenly closed the city gate and prohibited anyone from entering and leaving? It was obvious that as long as the city gate was closed, it could hold people but not close, but now it is closed again?"

"As it is also for the safety of the whole city of Jiangbei County. The previous riots affected the people in the city a lot, and I issued this order to appease the people. As for the past, after all, I didn't know what to do, so it was difficult to close the city gate at will."

"Master Wen, don't you think this statement is too absurd?" Wei Zhonghe finally couldn't help but slammed the table, staring at each other and said, "You are deliberately letting someone go, wanting to embarrass my Wei family. Do you really think I can't see it?"

"I don't have such an idea. Master Wei should not slander it. After all, your Wei family is a 'legit and righteous family', and it is very famous even in my Huaibei province. Which official must not praise you high, for fear of making you unhappy?" He seemed to explain, but in his tone and words, he had a little ridicule and ridicule, and his eyes were even more gloating.

Wei Zhonghe was stunned again, and then said angrily: "You..." But when he thought of the other party's identity, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous. He just looked at him with a bright look, "Okay, okay! It seems that Lord Wen, you have already made up your mind to lose face to our Wei family this time."

"I didn't say that, it was just a coincidence." Wen Kai refused to look at him at all, and then smiled, "But don't worry too much. I have already found out that the person who abducted the people was indeed not a thief, but Li Ling, a student from Jiangcheng County, was taken away by his sister and niece. Although the person left, it would be easy to investigate. If there is a need, I can write Jiangcheng to ask for an explanation for you. I will not refuse the lawsuit to the prefect, governor, governor, or even the court..."

Every word of his subsequent words, Wei Zhonghe's face became gloomy, and in the end he said bluntly: "No need, thank you for your kindness. This matter is my Wei family business, and I will deal with it."

"That's good. I have other important things to do, so I won't keep you." Without waiting for the other party to react, he shook his sleeves and turned around and left.

Wei Zhonghe sat in the seat for a while, then slowly got up, walked out of the county government step by step, got in the car and went home.

The family was also unstable at this moment. The young tribe members gathered to go out of the city to chase, but were beaten and disbanded by him in a few words. Until only a few brothers were left in the hall, the anger on Wei Zhonghe's face completely burst out: "It's so outrageous. This time, Wen Kai was determined to make our Wei family ugly!"

"Why is he? What benefits can this do to him?" Wei Renhe was impatient and immediately slapped the table.

Wei Xiaohe was much smarter, and at this time he had already tasted it: "But it is related to the resignation of the fourth uncle? As soon as he retired from the Ministry of Personnel, they ignored it?"

"Not only that, it should be related to what happened half a year ago. Wen Kai looked down at us on the surface, but in fact he was holding a grudge. This time he felt that our backer was no longer, so he wanted to take revenge." Wei Zhonghe had already figured out many things on the way here, and he was also well organized at this moment.

After pausing for a moment, he said with a serious expression: "What's more serious is that once this matter cannot be properly handled, the name of my family of rituals will be damaged. Then it will be the time when he Wen Kai attacks us. This person is revenge and compassionate and forbearing. I was indeed careless before."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions changed even more. Only then did they realize that this incident not only concerns the face of the Wei family, but also a matter of life and death!
