They really were afraid of anything they were afraid of. Seeing the county jail service approaching, the Xu family and his son dared not resist. The Xu family slaves and children around them could only watch because they had suffered losses at the other party before, and they could not even go forward to protect the master.

"My father and son can go to the county government with you, but I must explain one thing clearly, that is, my Xu family has always been a man and has never done anything illegal or illegal!" At this point, the only thing Xu Ziyang can do is to say such a scene.

However, the officer in front of him didn't take his words seriously at all, and just waved his hand: "Then please tie them up, so as not to escape after going out!"

Before he and his son could say anything, the servants had already stepped forward decisively. In a few moments, they tied the Xu family and his son backhanded, then served one of them, and walked out. As for the other people in the Xu family, they didn't even dare to say anything. When they saw a servant sweeping their eyes, they were even more frightened and shrank back and lowered their heads and lowered their eyes.

Seeing this, Chang Fan, who was leading the team, snorted again, and then he took the people away with a swagger, leaving only the children in the courtyard looking at each other, but they were helpless.

When Xu Ziyang and Xu Mo and his son were taken out of the house by the county magistrates and came to the street, even though it was dusk, they still attracted the attention of countless people, and there were constant screams of surprise. Everyone looked at these county magistrates with surprise and awe. This time, County Magistrate Li's tall image completely entered everyone's heart.

Although the shocking scene of the county government forcing the government officials to return, for the people of the county, it is far from comparable to the impact of the scene in front of them.

The Xu family is like a person who covers the sky with his hands in Huating County. Not only are ordinary people afraid of it, but even the government has no way to deal with them. In many cases, those officials have to obey their own words and bow their heads, but they can do so.

Didn't I ever think that one day, the Xu family would be eaten by a new county magistrate. Not only did they come to the door to pick up people several times, but they even arrested the head of their family this time. Does this mean that Huating's innocence will change, and from then on the dominance will be all in the hands of the county government? Does it mean that everyone's good days are coming, and they will no longer be bullied by the Xu family, and there is no place to complain about the wrongs?

Along the way, all the people who saw this scene were talking about this matter, and some people hurriedly ran home, thinking of telling their relatives and friends the best news as soon as possible. Some were also a little brave, so they followed the team of the service and went to the county government office.

Then they did not disperse, but gathered in groups of three or five at the county yamen, hoping to wait for a result. Fortunately, the officials guarding the yamen did not make things difficult for them, as long as they did not make noise, they did not move forward.

When the people were all looking forward to a result, the father and son involved were brought to Li Ling. Under the strong pressure and aura, the father and son of the Xu family, who were already arrogant, could only kneel down and kowtow. It was not until they finished their salute that Li Ling stared at them quietly and said in a cold voice: "Xu Ziyang, Xu Mo, are you two guilty?"

"Caomin has always abide by the law. I don't know why the adults suddenly came to capture my father and son. We are wronged..." Xu Ziyang could only grit the bullet and shout for justice. Xu Chen also said similar words immediately. Li Ling snorted: "I didn't expect that you would not admit your guilt at this time. That official will let you see two of you!"

As this sentence came to an end, a person outside was pushed into the house. The father and son hurriedly turned around and saw the most familiar two people staggering into the room, and then knelt down to the ground. It was Xu Chen and Xu Kun who were worried about falling into the hands of the county government!

How could this be... Xu Ziyang's heart trembled violently. The former was expected to be taken, but the latter, he had obviously asked Xu Kun to leave Huating early in the morning, but why did it fall into the other party's hands?

Li Ling's shout interrupted his thoughts: "At this point, Xu Ziyang, what else do you have to say? I have asked from the two of them that the county government was attacked by bandits of the Dajiang Gang one after another, and the attempt to assassinate me was all because of your reasons. It was you who asked your two sons to spend a lot of money to hire these outlaws to be detrimental to me. Do you still dare not admit it?"

As he said that, he slapped the table again: "What's going on? You haven't come to the real way? Why do you have to be careful and spend thousands of taels of silver to kill me? Do you know that murdering the imperial court's official is to plot against you, and you can destroy your three clans!"

The arrogant shouting made Xu Ziyang and his son tremble again, but the reaction was even greater than that of the brothers Xu Kun and Xu Chen. The two kowtowed and shouted: "Sir, please spare your life, I'm confessing, we... because our father colluded with others, we had to find people from the Dajiang Gang to assassinate you. We have to force you, please spare your life..."

Hum? Although Xu Ziyang was panicked, he still noticed the unusual part of the words of these two sons. Their fear was reasonable. I guess they suffered a lot after being caught. They were already afraid of Li Ling, and any statement could emerge from them.

But the question is, why did they have such a sentence? What does it mean to collude with others? They did think of using the Dajiang Gang to deal with Li Ling, but there is no other reason except to regain control of the county government. What is the purpose of this sentence that Li Ling deliberately added?

"Hmph, I'm sorry you don't dare to be rebellious. I ask you, who is the bold madman who colluded with Xu Ziyang and wanted to harm me?" Li Ling's question immediately made Xu Ziyang excited and knew that it was the critical time.

Sure enough, after hearing Xu Kun shook, he shouted like a conditioned reflex: "It was Yang Tianyou, the experience officer of the government office. He convinced my father to cooperate with him. As long as we can get rid of County Magistrate Li, he will be able to control the county government office as the government office. By then, we will have the final say..."

"Yes, that's it. He also asked our brothers to contact the bandits of the Dajiang Gang, saying that the local leader Jiang Dunzhu was his, so we only need to pay some money to kill the officials without more costs." Xu Chen also added later, as if this is the truth.

But Xu Ziyang knew that these were all lies. This matter had never had anything to do with Yang's experience. He didn't even know that there was the Dajiang Gang. The only thing related to him was that he asked to go to the government office and then he came to try to suppress Li Ling!

But now, Xu Ziyang has completely understood.

It turned out that the real target Li Ling was not his Xu family at all, but the experienced official from the government office. No, the Xu family was actually the one he wanted to eliminate, but the priority was slightly worse. In terms of crime, his father and son were accomplices, but they just followed the arrangements of Yang Tianyou, the mastermind.

The drunkard's intention is not wine, but Xiang Zhuang's sword dance intention is Pei Gong... Li Ling is so brave. His goal this time is not only the Xu family, but also a sixth-rank official from the government office!

After understanding this, a bigger doubt arose in Xu Ziyang's mind, but why did Li Ling do this? What are the benefits for him?

I can understand that he wants to eradicate our Xu family. After all, my Xu family is the biggest obstacle to his power, and there is no room for improvement. However, Yang Xue and him have no grudges in the past. Just because he came to help us put pressure this time, will Li Ling completely beat him to death?

This is too far-fetched and too unreliable...

A bang made Xu Ziyang's thoughts return to reality, and Li Ling shouted: "Xu Ziyang, what else do you have to say now? The facts are there, and the confessions of your two sons. This official is enough to confirm the crime you committed. Report to the court and destroy your three tribes will be light. If you do not plead guilty, you can only be punished!"

As he said this, he threw out several torture instruments stained with blood, which immediately made Xu Kun and Xu Chen tremble again, and the people knelt there and shrank into a ball.

Just by looking at the reactions of these two sons, Xu Ziyang knew that they had been tortured, so that they would be so "to be honest". Judging from Li Ling's attitude, as long as he did not cooperate, the many tortures would fall on his old bones.

Those who know the current affairs are heroes. In this situation, Xu Ziyang could only bow his head and admit defeat and kowtowed: "Old... Caomin knew that he was guilty. Caomin did collude with Yang Tianyou in the government office, and even spent money to let Dajiang help the bandits into the county town assassinate Lord Li..." At that moment, he repeated the charges that Li Ling had just explained.

It was not until he finished what he should say that Li Ling nodded with satisfaction, and then he saw a clerk walking up and put a confession drippingly ink in front of him: "Sign it, write it!"

Xu Ziyang took the pen and was about to write down his name when he suddenly realized that the official was his nephew Xu Sen. This changed his expression and subconsciously shouted: "You..." He was full of anger. So, was it because of a traitor in his family that led to this great defeat?

But before he could vent his anger, Li Ling slapped the table again and shouted: "Don't sign the document yet? Do you want to be presumptuous in court?"

Xu Ziyang shook suddenly, and this time he became completely honest. After saying softly, he didn't dare to sign, and then pressed his fingerprints on it. Then Xu Mo, the same process.

As the confession was delivered to Li Ling, the Xu family and his son were all trembling with trembling faces. They knew very well that even if the main crime was really put on Yang Tianyou, their crimes were still extremely serious. I am afraid that the entire Xu family would be implicated and completely finished.
