Another morning, Li Ling woke up and went to see Yue'er first.

After taking the right medicine, the little girl's condition has improved steadily, but she is still a little weak. When she saw her brother coming over, she supported her to remember her, but was quickly stopped by Li Ling: "Don't move Yue'er, just lie down well, and wait until she is well maintained. By the way, what do you want to eat?"

"Brother, that medicine is so bitter. Can I stop taking it?" Yue'er's first reaction was that she didn't want to continue taking the medicine, but she was quickly rejected by Li Ling: "No, you have just stabilized your illness, and at least you have to take it for another three or five days."

Seeing that his brother was serious when he said this, Yue'er could only curl his lips a little aggrievedly: "Okay, then I want to eat candy, so sweet candy."

"This is fine. I'll have someone go out to buy it for you later. By the way, yesterday I asked someone to prepare porridge in the morning, so you can eat it with me." Li Ling said, then moved out of the house again, but found that the entire yamen was quiet and no one could see it.

This surprised him a little. The yamen was not like this two days ago. Even early in the morning, you could see several servants cleaning the courtyard. At the same time, there would be people from the kitchen coming to ask him what he wanted to eat. Even though he had arranged the breakfast question last night, what about the cleaning person?

Li Ling couldn't help frowning again, and faintly realized something was wrong, so he headed towards the kitchen. As a result, there was no one there quietly. The stove was covered with coldness. Not to mention breakfast, there was not even a fire.

When Li Ling turned out again, he saw Li Moyun and Wan Shenji walking around the yard with surprise. When he looked at him, Li Moyun hurriedly said, "Young Master, why are there no one alone?"

"Yes, and the outside is quiet..." Wan Shenji also said, looking at the closed gate. Although it was not locked, the door was closed tightly.

Logically speaking, it was already this time, not only were there servants busy in the back yamen, but officials should have waited for the time being to start busy with their affairs for a day. But now, there was no sound in front of them, and it seemed that even one person had not arrived at the yamen.

Li Ling only pondered for a moment and ordered: "Lao Wan, go out and take a look, take a closer look at the yamen and see if there are anyone there. If I was right, this should be the counterattack of the Xu family on me."

"How dare they..." Wan Shenji's face changed suddenly. After saying a word, he clasped his fists and left hurriedly. At the same time, the door on the other side had also opened, and Yang Qingxiao came out. Seeing this, her two thin eyebrows also frowned: "Do they want to isolate us?"

"That's what it means, it's really a big deal. The Xu family's power in Huating is really greater than I thought. Even the county government office, the people and others are following their leader!" Li Ling had a calm face, and while saying this, the light flashed in his eyes.

After a while, Wan Shenji returned with a more serious expression, revealing a fact that everyone had long thought of: "There are empty everywhere in the yamen, and there is no one except us."

"Is that right? It seems that I'm afraid I can't do anything today." Li Ling had recovered from calmness at this time and smiled lightly, "That's right, Yue'er just said she wanted to eat candy, so let's go out and buy some food, and solve the breakfast problem by the way."

The few nodded. Although they were worried, they didn't say much when they saw that he was so calm. However, after looking at Yue'er's house, Yang Qingxiao chose to stay: "I'd better accompany Yue'er. Just bring us some food when you come back."

"It's true, then thank you for your hard work." Li Ling gently patted her hand as he spoke. Just a slightly intimate move made a hint of joy flash in the eyes of the children of the world.

Fortunately, the influence of the Xu family was not so great that the county merchants could not do Li Ling and others' business. After leaving the yamen, several people found a small shop nearby, solved the hunger problem at will, and then bought some things to turn around. In this way, half an hour passed, and it was already midday.

If it were before, the yamen would have been lively and all officials and servants would have arrived. But today it was still deserted, and the county government gate had not even opened, as if it was closed.

This special situation finally attracted the attention of the people around. Many passing people curiously opened their heads to the yamen gate, trying to see clearly. However, these ordinary people were in awe of the county government, so they just glanced at it a few times. No one really dared to try to go in and see what was going on.

When Li Ling and the others brought the snacks and vegetables they bought, they frightened a few idle men who were gathering in front of the yamen so much that they ran to the side. However, many people still looked at them with curious eyes, and there were also low-key discussions.

Li Ling didn't take this seriously. Until he entered the yamen and saw that he was still deserted, he smiled and said, "Guess, how long will their move last?"

"It should be until you can't stand it, then come to beg for mercy." Wan Shenji pondered for a moment, and said, "Actually, my subordinates have also heard people mention some remote places and local tyrants countering officials. With their own power, those guys can often undermine county magistrates and other officials, so that their government orders cannot be issued. Then over time, the local people who are in charge will be replaced by those local tyrants.

"But I have never heard of the action of clearing the entire county government like this. This move is really powerful and makes us helpless."

"Yes, this move is really cruel, and I can't even find someone to punish me." Li Ling said with a smile, and soon entered the Houya, handed over the breakfast I brought to Yue'er, Yang Qingxiao and Li Tong, and then said, "But you obviously haven't thought about why you have never used such tricks elsewhere to force officials to bow their heads."

"Why?" Li Moyun was also very curious and asked casually.

"It's very simple. This requires the troublemaker to have a force that responds to the situation. As long as there is one person in the county government unwilling to obey its arrangements, the matter will not be perfect; secondly, there is a big hidden danger in doing so."

"Hidden danger? What other hidden dangers are there besides the offense?" Wanshenji said curiously, "They dare to do these things. Do they still have some concerns?"

"These powerful men are naturally not afraid of being guilty of me, but what about the others in the yamen? Those officials who need to rely on this kind of skin to pretend to be powerful will not worry about the consequences of their own actions? You know, this is a huge handle to the officials who are also in the hands of us."

"My sir means..." Wan Shenji had been in the officialdom of the capital for a while and immediately grasped the key point, "My sir, you can fight back!"

"As these people, as officials, receive the salary of the court, naturally have to follow the rules. Although they sometimes cheat and trick, they act within the rules after all. But this time it is different. If you don't leave the yamen for no reason, this is no longer a matter of ability, but an attitude. As the magistrate of the county, this official has the right to deal with them!"

Li Ling said, and looked at Yang Qingxiao, who had eaten almost the same food: "Qingxiao, you said before that you will come to help me in the past two days?"

On the way to Huating, Yang Qingxiao left the team for a few days, but went to contact the Cao Gang brothers and found some smart and capable assistants to Huating. After knowing that the water in Huating was very deep and his husband came to take office almost alone, Yang Qingxiao decided to use his own power to help.

Li Ling is not a scholar who is eager to save face. There is no reason why he can find a ready-made helper, and he is even looking forward to it. Now, it is a critical moment when he needs these external help.

"Well... they had a reply before. Some people should be able to come in the next three or two days. What are you planning to do?"

"Well..." Li Ling smiled, "I didn't think I could do things too well. But since they gave me this opportunity, it was time to make some changes. If Huating wants to change, just start with the county government!" At the end, the light in his eyes was like a sharp sword unsheathed, which made no one around dare to look at him.

...

Late at night, inside a slightly worn boat tent.

Xu Mao sat there uneasyly, thinking about leaving the place several times, but after the eyes of the person in front of him stopped him, after seeing the deep water outside the window, he finally gave up this idea.

"Brother Ge, you and I have some friendship. I have never treated you badly. Don't harm me." After enduring for a while, Xu Mao still said this.

The strong man in front of him grinned when he heard this: "Don't worry, although my Dajiang Gang is doing some shameful activities, he will not attack his friends. Besides, you brought us business this time, so we will not disappoint you."

"Then why didn't the person you mentioned appear?"

"It must be that the road was delayed... It's coming!" The strong man suddenly moved his ears and heard the sound of water coming from not far away. After a while, a light boat came quickly and approached the small boat quickly. Before the boat could stop, one of them rushed onto the boat and lowered his body. He was already in the tent, which scared Xu Mao: "You..."

"This is Jiang Zhuang, one of the four helms of my Dajiang Gang. He is the most famous master in Jiangnan." The strong man hurriedly got up and recommended him.

"It turns out to be Jiang Dunzhu, Xu Mao is polite. Today..." Xu Mao hugged and greeted him. But the other party had no intention of being polite to him at all. He just sat casually and stared at him with red eyes: "Who do you want to deal with? How much money can you give?"
