Half an hour passed before Yang Tongzhi was taken down, but the entire Songjiang government office still could not recover from the shock. All the officials and others were a little dazed and panicked, and almost no one spoke, which made the entire government office fall into a heart-pounding silence.

Especially in the General Office of the Prefecture, almost every official who has beaten this is cautious and dare not breathe. Because today's prefect has put too much pressure on everyone, they have changed their attitude towards Prefecture Wei by 180 degrees, and they have changed from disapproving and becoming more afraid.

Li Ling, who came from outside, could see this clearly, so after seeing Wei Liang, he smiled and said, "Teacher, now the yamen are afraid of you."

"Haha, after all, this is due to Wen Zhong. Without you, I may not be able to break this situation in a few months, and may even be suppressed by them forever." Wei Liang smiled bitterly. Although he was his teacher, he had to admit that in terms of means and the courage to fight with others, he was much better than a teacher.

"The student said that when the teacher is in trouble, the disciples will obey his work, so it is the disciples who should do all this." Li Ling hurriedly said modestly, "What's more, doing this will be of great benefit to the disciples who will take over the power of Huating County in the future, so I am not only helping the teacher, but also helping myself."

Wei Liang nodded, and then said solemnly: "By the way, because the matter was urgent, I didn't ask you too much. What was going on? You were so dangerous and forced to take down the government officials. What was the purpose of?"

He obviously understood that Li Ling's accusation against Yang Tianyou was a false accusation. Even if Wei Liang had any opinions about Yang Tianyou and the others, he did not think that they would make the decision to collude with the Jianghu Gang and then use their hands to assassinate an official in the court. This was too unreasonable and there was no need for it.

In front of his teacher, Li Ling had no need to hide it. He smiled and nodded: "The teacher's eyes were indeed like a rookie, and he could see the students' thoughts at once. Yes, I deliberately framed Yang Tianyou in order to help the teacher eliminate the hostile forces in the government office. And now it seems that all this is perfect?"

"Sure enough..." Wei Liang sighed, and wrote a letter to Li Ling about his situation, but he didn't want to find him to come up with a solution, but he just wanted to talk to him. But he didn't expect that he, a student, actually helped him, and in such a straightforward and ruthless way.

But then he sighed and shook his head: "But you are still too risky in doing this, and the so-called evidence is probably forged by you. I am very grateful to you for your willingness to do all this for me, but you cannot agree with your radical means. Do you still remember the meaning of the word "Wenxin" given to you by your teacher? I just don't want you to be too risky."

Feeling the care from the teacher, Li Ling felt a little warm, but he still said: "Although what the teacher is worried about is reasonable, the students also have their own considerations. Moreover, the evidence of the crime can be said to be false, but it can also be said to be true. Because I did catch a group of thieves from Dajiang Gang who wanted to assassinate me."

"Ah... there is such a group of people?" Wei Liang shouted in shock. These bandits in the world are too brave. They dare to attack the imperial officials!

"Actually, it should be two groups of assassins, who wanted to be unfavorable to me and my family twice." Li Ling corrected it for a while before saying, "But one thing I forged is that they were not instructed by Yang Tianyou, but were hired by the Xu family in Huating County for a lot of money."

"The local tyrants...this matter is still sensational!"

"Yes, if it was placed in other places, even in other counties under Songjiang Prefecture, such a thing would not happen. However, Huating County, because it was too small and too unappealing, helped them to become more arrogant and made them act without any scruples."

"Huating County..." Wei Liang was silent for a moment, and then he had to admit, "The county is indeed extremely special in Jiangnan. Even I, the prefect of Songjiang, are very unfamiliar with that. I only know that there is poor there, and I have very little money, grain and taxes every year, and sometimes I need to supplement it with the surrounding prefectures and counties."

"That's true. The people in the county town cannot even guarantee the minimum food and clothing, so the county government can receive less taxes. But in such a poor county town, there are two wealthy families who can easily take out tens of thousands of taels of silver to hire bandits from the Dajiang Gang to assassinate the family of my county magistrate. Many officials in the county government are rich, and all this is just because the Xu Fang family completely monopolized all the resources in the county town, whether it is fields, shops, or many important positions in the yamen."

"There is such a thing?"

"Not only that, they also undermined the county magistrates, and even the earlier county magistrates might have been killed by them by some means. But when this matter was reported, the government office and the governor just casually went through the motions and did not investigate them in depth, and ended up with sudden death. Because of this, they became more and more unscrupulous and regarded the entire county town as their own private property, and the people of the county became vassals of their two families."

After this story, Wei Liang was completely shocked. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Absurd, absurd!"

"It is precisely because of this that they dared to attack me, the newly appointed county magistrate, because they determined that even if something happened, there would be someone above them to cover them up. And I also inferred from the death of the county magistrate Ren, and even the Governor's Office in Jiangnan, there were people colluding with them to protect them. Then, I thought of your current situation. In fact, the situation of you, my teachers and students coming to Jiangnan to serve as officials this time is extremely similar." Li Ling's expression had become quite serious when he said this.

Wei Liang, who was already serious, was even more solemn at this time: "So... do you think there is any connection between this?" He was not a fool, so he quickly grasped the key point.

Li Ling nodded: "Of course, they were not coming to our teachers and students. We also came to Jiangnan for the first time and did not offend anyone. We just happened to sit in these two positions at the same time."

"But why do they have to control these two positions tightly, at least to control the officials in these two positions?"

"This has a lot to do with the fact that the student was sent to Jiangnan." Li Ling said this and lowered his voice a little, "I dare not hide it from the teacher. I was ordered to deal with the bandits of the Luotian Sect who had scattered into Jiangnan and could cause chaos at any time. And the teacher's appointment is also likely to be related to this!"

...

The General Secretary of the Tongzong, all the officials looked cautious and did not dare to make any sound, because of the sudden change in the government office today, and because of the current Parliament Li Tongzong at this time.

Since returning to the general office, Li Youzhen fell into absolute silence, with a gloomy face, just sitting in her seat without saying a word or doing anything, and not even taking half a sip of tea.

Is it because of anger or fear? The officials under his command are not easy to guess or ask, so they can only retreat silently and wait for their superiors to respond.

In fact, Li Youzhen had both emotions, and of course there was more panic. The sudden outbreak of the prefect today really caught them off guard. Yang Wanquan was convicted in court, which was even more amazing. It made the prefect Wei take the initiative completely, and also made the officials of the Heyao feel afraid and dared not underestimate this young boss.

It was precisely because he was already afraid that Li Youzhen became more and more uneasy because he knew how deep he was. He and Yang Wanquan have always been a scale and hammer. Everything was discussed by the two. All the benefits were made by Yang Tongzhi, and the judge Li Tong was indispensable. Therefore, in fact, there were too many shameful wealth in his mansion.

When Shen Xiong reported the results of the search for Yang's mansion, it had the greatest impact on Li Youzhen, which seemed to be the preview of his next show. And he believed that perhaps the prefect Wei would consider letting the vast majority of people in the government office for the sake of the overall situation, but he would inevitably be targeted.

So today is not going immediately, but the time is not yet ripe. But what about tomorrow? What about the next day?

No, I can't just wait for death. I must come up with a countermeasure, even if it's just for myself, I have to find a way to complain to Yang Tongzhi!

Finally, after a long period of consideration, Li Youzhen's eyes were slightly wrong and she had already made a decision.

But then, a problem was placed in front of him, and the government office was already intimidated by the prefect. Even if he himself did not have the courage to stand up to fight the prefect Wei, who could save Yang Wanquan and the others?

"Yang Wanquan...Yang Tianyou..." After repeatedly chanting the names of these two colleagues, Li Youzhen suddenly thought of one thing: "No one in the government office can control him, but what about outside the government office?"

At this moment, a person's name jumped out of his mind, causing his gloomy eyes to flash suddenly. Li Youzhen immediately sat up straight, took the paper and ink on the desk, and quickly wrote it on the paper.

A moment later, a letter had been written by him. After solemnly pressing his seal, Li Youzhen shouted decisively: "Come here!"

A subordinate clerk came in and said, "Sir."

"You will leave the city with this letter and go to Shanziying to find Liao Dutong and tell him that the military situation will be in trouble, and it will be defeated. Not only Yang Tongzhi and I will be implicated, but he will definitely be implicated. We must act as soon as possible." After explaining these words seriously, Li Youzhen solemnly handed the letter to this confidant.

The confidant's face changed suddenly. He immediately guessed the meaning of his master asking him to deliver the letter, and he still wanted to fight with the prefect. But at the same time, he also knew that as a confidant of the magistrate, he naturally had no choice. He immediately agreed, put the letter in close contact, and turned around quickly.
