Under the tremendous pressure from County Magistrate Li, Wen County Magistrate and Chief Clerk Tian no longer dared to speak for the Xu family, nor did they dare to drag down the matter about them. In just two or three days, the relevant notices had been posted in various parts of the county town. Three days later, even the many towns below spread the saying that the county magistrate wanted to make decisions for the people and crack down on the Xu family, which had caused harm to the local area for many years, and let the victims of the county come to file a lawsuit.

At the beginning, many people were skeptical about the notorious reputation of the Xu family for many years, and they were skeptical about this statement. However, with the continuous publicity and spread of some things before, when everyone learned that the county government not only was no longer controlled by the Xu family, but also arrested Xu Ziyang and other important figures of the Xu family and were imprisoned, the people finally lost their worries and ran to the county government to complain, telling about their various tragic experiences and countless crimes committed by the Xu family.

In the next half month, the Huating County Government became the busiest place in the entire Songjiang River and even the Jiangnan region. Every day, dozens of unjust people came to accuse the Xu family of evil deeds they had done to themselves, from occupying people's land and property to occupying their wives and daughters; from beating innocent people seriously injured or even died due to a trivial matter, to harming people's lives and digging people's ancestral graves...

As time goes by, there are too many sensational stories that can make everyone with a sense of justice indignation after hearing this case was sent to Li Ling and handed over to him and Xu Sen to handle it one by one.

In fact, these cases are almost never tried. Over the years, the Xu family has covered the sky in Huating and is unscrupulous. The tribe members have indeed done too many things that are both angry with the gods. However, in the past, they have controlled the county government and used methods to make the people of the county sue, so they can only endure it silently.

Now that their reliance has completely disappeared, the evils they have committed over the years have naturally been exposed to the sun. What Li Ling has to do is just look at a piece of paper and ask someone to take the relevant suspects into the county government. Then, he can scare and bring a board to let him obediently explain everything.

Most of the people who were taken to the county government for trial and then put into prison for pending are the Xu family who once worked in the county government. As for the other people in the Xu family, at most they only do some wrong things such as forced buying and selling, or using inferior products as good ones, and no one cares about getting involved with them.

Therefore, the former dominant county governments have now become prisoners. When they learned of this result, the people who suffered all over the city were even more grateful to County Magistrate Li, and Li Ling's reputation among the people reached a peak.

There are so many crimes that are just a book that is thick. When Xu Sen copied all the crimes into books according to Li Ling's intention, his face showed a look of surprise and he could not calm down for a long time: "I didn't expect that my Xu family has done so many things to harm the people over the years, and I am still with them. It's really embarrassing..."

Looking at Xu Sen, who looked ashamed and regretful, Li Ling sighed: "This is the result of the complete collusion between the local gentry and the government. Moreover, over the years, not only the two sides have colluded, but the Xu family has completely replaced the government. In this way, no one can control them. But you don't have to be so uneasy. Being a member of the Xu family is not something you can choose. At least you have not done anything evil, which is extremely difficult."

"Haha, keep it alone, maybe this is the only thing I can do." Xu Sen smiled bitterly, still in a heavy mood.

Li Ling shook his head and looked at him seriously: "No, you can do two more things to atone for the Xu family. First, help me find out the reason why the Xu family is so unscrupulous. Even if they really control Huating County, there are people protecting them, but according to the truth, it is impossible to block all the victims' mouths. Especially those victims who were killed by them, who are so hatred, cannot be in the county, cannot seek justice in the government, and cannot go to Jinling, Lin'an, or even to the capital?"

Li Ling's statement made Xu Sen's face suddenly froze. After a moment, he said, "Yes, why didn't I expect this? These victims did come to the county government to complain before, but the result... Although others dare not sue the county government after hearing the past, the higher government government can't protect our Xu family."

"Yes, this matter is still strange and must be investigated in depth. Perhaps this is the key to the Xu family's courage to do such a lawless thing." Li Ling nodded deeply, "The second is that while returning them to justice, he thought about how to make up for them in the future. This official decided to search the property of everyone in the Xu family and share the money and grain with them according to the situation of the miserables of each family. However, this is a huge but trivial matter, and he has also taken a lot of money. There must be a trustworthy and outstanding ability person responsible. Xu Sen, are you willing to take on this job?"

Xu Sen was stunned again, but soon Zheng focused his head, then bowed his hand again, and said, "Xu Sen is willing to share the worries for the adults. I will definitely do this properly and dare not seek any selfish interests for myself!"

"Okay! That official will hand over everything to you. The most important point now is to find an excuse to completely search the Xu family!" Li Ling said immediately.

It is not uncommon to seize someone's property in the officialdom. As long as he makes a big mistake or is accused of having major corruption, in addition to punishing him, he also has to add a punishment for catching the property. When he regains freedom, he will be alone and will inevitably have a hard time living.

However, when it is placed among the people, the government rarely uses this trick to the people. Even if the prisoner who committed the crime of beheading is executed, it is not easy to move the property. There must be a very reasonable reason, such as committing a serious crime such as corruption, the house can be confiscated.

Although the Xu family is seriously sinful, it is still far from this point. It is not easy for Li Ling to confiscate his family to compensate the people. Even Xu Sen, a person who is proficient in the law, felt a little embarrassed, frowned and thought hard, and had no idea for a while.

"In a sense, as long as everyone in the Xu family breaks the law, the house can be confiscated." Li Ling pondered. But then he heard Xu Sen say: "But the problem is that not all the Xu family members are guilty. Those women and wives and concubines generally do not come forward and cannot do evil. Moreover, like Xu Mo and Xu Kun, they all have descendants. The older ones are in their teens and the younger ones are still in their infancy. These Xu family members will definitely not be able to make mistakes."

Can you only start with the assassination?

Li Ling frowned again. This is not impossible. The Xu family bribed the thieves in the martial arts world assassination of the imperial officials, who was a tyrant, and he was indeed a serious crime of treason. But the problem is that this matter actually left flaws. Li Ling didn't want to report it clearly, leaving hidden dangers for himself.

Just when the two of them sat opposite each other for a long time and had no idea, Li Moyun came to the door: "Sir, another person came to sue the Xu family..."

"Just let him hand over the complaint paper. I will make decisions for him in two days!" Li Ling said disapprovingly, still thinking about the problems in front of him.

When the victim first came to file a lawsuit, Li Ling was still in the lobby for a serious trial, but as the case was tried more and there were so many bad things, he became a little tired of the trial. Later, Xu Sen came forward or simply took the case paper, without any intention of asking in detail. Anyway, these things were probably true or fake, and it was not unfair to make the people of the Xu family bear...

Unexpectedly, Li Moyun did not leave this time, but looked at Li Ling with a little embarrassed: "Sir, that person said that what he told was much bigger than an ordinary case, and he just wanted to accuse him in person."

"Huh?" Li Ling was slightly stunned, a little strange. During this period, all kinds of cases have been taken, and more than ten people have killed people. Can there be any crimes that are more serious than this? This guy is exaggerating!

Although he was thinking about this, Li Ling nodded: "Then let him come in and speak. I want to hear what he said."

Li Moyun took the order and left. After a while, he brought a haggard man with a scholar dressed as an old man to the public room. This person, unlike other victims, knelt down and kowtowed, crying and stating his grievances, but just bowed to Li Ling in a straight manner: "Student Qin Siwen, I have met the county master."

Seeing his deceitful behavior and claiming, Li Ling hesitated for a moment, and then he realized that a detail that he had been overlooking had been ignored - in Huating County these days, he had not yet come into contact with scholars with fame and fortune. This old scholar of Qin Siwen actually dealt with local scholars for the first time.

"No need to be polite, sit down and talk." Li Ling smiled, signaled the other party to sit down, and then said, "I wonder what kind of fame you are now and what kind of career you are doing?"

"The student was lucky enough to be a student. He was a teacher in the county school before." Qin Siwen's face turned bitter again when he said this.

"Oh? Before? Isn't it anymore for the county school teacher? What crime do you want to sue the Xu family?"

One sentence made the other party look full of grief and anger. Qin Siwen quickly got up as soon as she sat down, and then knelt down: "I would like to ask the county master to be the student and to make the decision for all the scholars in Huating County!"

This dynasty Yourong scholars and officials had to kneel down even if they were the lowest-level scholars. Qin Siwen's kneeling really surprised Li Ling, and he quickly said, "No need to do this. If you have any grievances, just get up and talk." As he said that, he winked at Xu Sen. The latter understood and hurried forward and helped the person up hard.
