Chapter 473: The Drunkard's Intention Is Not Alcohol (Part 2)
"Let me go, you let me go! You are so brave that you dare to hurt me in public and capture me, the imperial official!"
When he was taken to the county government, Yang Tianyou, who had recovered, roared one after another. If the rope had not tied him tightly, he would have tried to break free from the constraints. However, the county government officials around him turned a deaf ear to his shouts, just dragged him straight in, and finally sent him to Li Ling.
"Li Ling, you are so brave. You actually framed me like this. Do you really think that you can cover up the sky with one hand and use such an inexplicable excuse to make me submit?" Yang Wen became more annoyed when he saw Li Ling and shouted loudly. If he hadn't been kidnapped, he might have rushed to the other side to fight.
Faced with Yang Tianyou's loud scolding, Li Ling was quite calm and said in an indifferent tone: "Yang Experience, I advise you to spend less effort and honestly admit that he colluded with bandits of the Dajiang Gang to assassinate me, so he would be spared from the pain of flesh and blood!"
"Fuck! What Dajiang Gang bandits have never heard of, why did I collude with them? You are clearly accusation! I only know that you are leading people to treat me and hurt me and my subordinates, that is the real serious crime!" Yang Tianyou immediately retorted, but at the same time, his heart suddenly sank, and he realized that the situation was not good. Has he really fallen into a trap?
Because of his anger, he really ignored some things. For example, County Magistrate Li was really too brave. Even if he was a sixth-rank official, it would be too much to drive himself out of the county government and humiliate him like this. Even if both parties with equal power cannot do such a shameless act.
But he really did it! He was angry and thought of trying to take revenge after returning to the government office, but he never expected that he would have another move. In less than half an hour, he not only caught himself, but also charged him with such a crime. This person is much more terrifying than he thought before. What is his purpose?
His thoughts were quickly interrupted by Li Ling's sneer: "It seems that you really don't cry if you don't see the coffin. Come on, bring those assassins and thieves to me!"
With this order, there was another shout outside, and then with a clanging sound, several burly men with injuries on their bodies were taken into the house. When they saw Li Ling sitting upright above, they even showed a hint of fear in their eyes. Without anyone to remind them, their knees were soft and they knelt down one after another.
"Do you recognize this person?" Li Ling asked Yang Tianyou, who was still puzzled, and asked them.
"Recognize... I recognize it, he let us assassinate the government office of Lord Li Yang experience." One of them answered quickly, but Yang Tianyou's body suddenly shook, and he immediately shouted: "You are slandering with blood. I have never seen you before, let alone let you assassinate the imperial officials..."
"Why, Yang Tianyou, don't you admit your guilt at this time?" Li Ling slapped the table and shouted loudly, "Not only are there murderers here, but also my official and his subordinates can testify. It was after you were driven out of the county government, that these people suddenly came out and wanted to assassinate me. If the people in our county government had not taken action in time to resist the capture of the people, I was afraid that I would be harmed by you. Do you dare to say that this matter has nothing to do with you? It is obvious that you took personal revenge because the official refused to accept your proposal and asked the assassin to attack.
"No, not just that, you must have other conspiracies. In fact, you have wanted to harm me for a long time. Everything just gave you an excuse to harm me more urgently! Yang Tianyou, do you think you can't do anything to you if you keep silent about me?"
Looking at Li Ling's malicious gaze, Yang Tianyou felt even more panic. This was panic about his own situation, but more so, fear of the unknown!
What was Li Ling's idea, and where did these so-called assassins come from? He could not guess what he wanted to do. The feeling of being in the game but being able to be manipulated is so panicking.
But Yang Tianyou also understood more clearly that he would never admit this matter. Once he really admitted the crime, it would be over. So he made up his mind and continued to stumble on his neck and shouted: "Li Ling, don't think of using such words to intimidate me. This official is the official of the court. If you dare to punish me, the government office will never let you go, and the court will not convict me for your words..."
Li Ling's aggressive aura was restrained as he said this. After staring at him for a moment, he smiled and nodded: "Yang Wenxue is really smart. Yes, even if you do such a thing, without conclusive evidence or plead guilty in person, I really have no way to deal with you, and I can't torture you. But don't forget that although I can't treat you, the government office can try you."
After saying that, he ordered: "People come, take them all down and take care of them. Tomorrow morning, I will escort these relevant criminals to the government office, and the superiors will decide!"
His order made Yang Tianyou stunned at first, and then he felt relieved. He thought that this bold county magistrate would torture him and force him to confess his guilt. Although the so-called crimes he used such means were actually useless, he could completely change his words at that time, but Li Lingluo was accused of being beaten up. However, the bitterness of flesh and blood was ultimately something he could eat, so it would be better if he could not be beaten or not.
As long as he returns to the government office, he will be his own territory. He is a newly appointed county magistrate, who has no roots and no bottoms. Can he still fight with him? Don’t say that this matter is indeed unfair, even if it is true, he will have the confidence to turn it over!
He felt a little calm, and Yang Tianyou didn't need anyone to urge him, so he got up and left. Although he had to suffer a little to go to the cell, it was much safer than pleading guilty. He was a little proud and naturally ignored the strange light in Li Ling's eyes behind him who was watching him leave, and also ignored his previous evaluation of Li Ling. This was a terrible opponent and it was impossible to make unnecessary or even wrong decisions.
After watching Yang Tianyou being taken away, Li Ling smiled again and instead issued an order again: "Come..."
...
"He actually brought back Yang's experience?" Xu Ziyang was surprised after hearing the report. As soon as he picked up his job, he put it back on the table, and he had no appetite at all.
"Not only did they bring the people back, but the people in these government offices suffered a little, and even Yang Xun was damaged." The son who came to report also added in surprise.
"He...he got the courage to injure the people in the government office so unscrupulously?" Xu Mo couldn't help but scream, and also put down the dishes and fell into deep thought.
"No, this matter is very wrong. Every step Li Ling takes now looks extremely unwise. Even if he is reckless, he will never be able to do such a lawless thing, but in the end he will only put himself in an absolutely unfavorable situation!" Xu Ziyang frowned and said softly.
Speaking of these days, since the arrival of Li Ling, the new county magistrate, he has frowned much more than before. The key is that these thoughts after frowning have still gained nothing.
"What my father said is that he must have a purpose for doing this, but what exactly does he want to do? The offending the people of the government office will only harm him. Even if he withstands the pressure, what will happen later? Does he really think that if he put a charge on Yang Jing like this, the adults of the government office will stop interfering in this matter?
"This is obviously impossible. He will only make the lords of the government office even more angry. Then he will be in trouble. The county magistrate is a landlord, but he has to obey the orders of Shangfeng. The consequences will only be more serious..."
Xu Mo's inference was exactly what Xu Ziyang thought, and he nodded: "So I think he must have some support and plans, what exactly are they? What have we ignored?"
The old man said, his face becoming more confusing, and he couldn't help but get up and pace again. And just after he took a few steps, Xu Mo suddenly reacted: "Dad, is Xu Chen back?"
"No, he went to find the people from the Dajiang Gang three days ago, and there was no reply again. Maybe..." At this point, the old man's expression suddenly changed, turning pale, and Xu Mo also changed color. At this moment, the faces of the father and son seemed to be painted with a layer of chalk.
I thought of the key that I have always ignored has been found! It is Xu Chen, the Dajiang Gang!
In fact, they should have thought of it long ago, but because things happened one after another on the day, they were completely unable to take the time to think about it. Until now, everything was a foregone conclusion and they suddenly realized it.
"Did you think this assassination really matter, or was it designed by Li Ling himself?" Xu Mo asked this question with some difficulty.
Xu Ziyang's body trembled slightly: "If it were the latter, then would he have the so-called assassins in his hands? No, it should be said that who are these assassins that have fallen into his hands? They are from the Dajiang Gang?"
"How did he do this? Mingming hasn't happened in the county government except today..."
"This is easy to explain. I'm afraid these assassins have been taken down by Li Ling's men before they even entered the city!" The old man said, with a panic on his face. "The key now is, what is the identity of the assassin in his hand, and if he is really from the Dajiang Gang, did Xu Chen fall into his hands?"
This statement was solved by a previous question. Why did Xu Chen not come back for several days? Has he already fallen into Li Ling's hands? If this is true, the Xu family is really dangerous. Xu Mao can explain it. After all, he is a side branch, but Xu Chen is Xu Ziyang's own son...
At this moment, there was another noise outside, and then a servant ran over with panic on his face: "Master, I'm not doing well. The person from the county government said he wanted to ask you..."
