Li Ling's sudden outbreak completely confused Ma Bangwen. This was a good talk, why did Lord Li suddenly turn against each other? And he still had no room for nothing? This is not like what an imperial official should do.

Even if he did make a big mistake, in the officialdom, he would leave room for protection unless he had deep hatred. Moreover, he was not just coming for himself, but even wanted to drag the governor Fei into the water through himself. Is this crazy?

He was stunned, but the guards guarding outside were not stunned. When they saw Li Ling's order, they rushed into the hall without any hesitation. The two of them grabbed his shoulders and dragged them out.

"Mr. Li, you can't do this. The subordinates can compensate me. I can raise the food. I will give me three days. No, two days. I will raise the food..." I knew that I would inevitably be tortured after being taken away. After torture, I would definitely offend Governor Fei after saying something... This made Ma Bangwen completely panicked and didn't care about any face. He just kept begging for mercy, hoping that Li Ling would change his mind.

But Li Ling was unmoved and continued to issue an order with a gloomy face: "There are also the officials such as Hu Yi and I will also take down all the officials of Hu Yi and other places. I want them to honestly explain to me the matter of Yingzhou officials filling their personal pockets and seizing the interests of the government in the past few years. Also, have they had private contact with the governor of Huaibei and asked me clearly!"

"Yes!" These military generals felt excited. As imperial guards in the capital, they were never afraid of local officials. Being able to catch officials and interrogate them was a big task they had long been looking forward to. As for the governor of Huaibei, they were even more useless to them.

However, the officials in Yingzhou were frightened and panicked after hearing this, and almost knelt down and begged for mercy. However, it was useless even if they kneeled down, because the rude generals had already rushed forward and had to serve them well.

Only Li Moyun, after looking at Li Ling with a little concern for a moment, suddenly remembered the past and showed a clear look.

Li Ling was not idle at this time and ordered again: "Bring Jia Zhengfeng to me!"

Although Jia Zhengfeng was forcibly taken to the government office by the government army and even many people in his family were arrested, he was not very panicked. Even though he knew that helping him steal official grain was indeed a serious crime, he believed that with his backer, this little thing was not enough to be a crime.

So when he was taken to the house next to him, Jia Zhengfeng seemed quite leisurely. It was not until he heard Ma Bangwen's screams from the top of his lungs that made him feel pressured, and he realized that this was more difficult to deal with than he thought.

Then, before he could have a psychological construction, the door opened, and two soldiers came in and dragged him out. He had no room for resistance, and was taken to the court and faced the young official with a gloomy face.

Li Ling's eyes only turned around on him, and then said coldly: "Jia Zhengfeng, you should know how much crime you have committed, right? Even if you don't mention what you do on weekdays, just stealing and reselling official grains will be enough to search your house and behead you."

"Sir, you know, the young man is also on order!" Jia Zhengfeng was panicked and did not dare to show off his tricks. He immediately shouted and showed off his trump card: "It was the governor who wanted to make money through me and asked me to sell the food..."

"So, do you admit that you instructed your subordinates to steal food, and you also admit that you colluded with Huaibei governor Fei Chongduo and received privately?" Li Ling was happy. Unexpectedly, he didn't have to ask and tempt the other party, so he explained the matter to him.

It was not until this time that Jia Zhengfeng vaguely realized something was wrong, but just when he was stunned and didn't know what to respond, Li Ling suddenly slapped the arbor and shouted: "I dare to deny it in front of me. Do you have to be tortured first before you can honestly explain it? The person is here-!"

With this scolding, someone immediately threw a set of torture instruments in front of Mr. Jia. Looking at the bloody torture instruments, Jia Zhengfeng suddenly panicked and quickly said loudly: "The little one is willing to explain, and the little one is willing to explain everything..."

"Speak, please come back from the beginning, how did you collude with Fei Chong? How many benefits have you gained and how many people have you harmed over the years!" Li Ling urged again.

At this point, Jia Zhengfeng no longer dared to hide anything and honestly explained everything from scratch.

As Ma Bangwen said, the Jia family was just a small family in Yingzhou more than ten years ago, and only relied on the strength of five brothers and the strength of their children to make a living. Similarly, Fei Chong was only a garrison in Yingzhou City at that time, and he was considered to have entered the army and had no position or meritorious service.

Then at that time, a group of bandits appeared on the Baihugang beside Yingzhou. They were powerful. They not only robbed passers-by, but also looted several villages and towns. This angered the local government, so the military order was issued, and Yingzhou sent troops. In the end, the job fell on Fei Chong's head.

Fei Chong was indeed a little brave at that time. He actually brought only 300 soldiers and actually rushed into the bandit's nest. As a result, both sides were injured. He even fought with several bandits out of the nest and lost his life. Just so happened that several brothers of the Jia family went out of the city to inquire about the situation. Seeing this, he came forward decisively and tried his best to help. Finally, he solved all the bandits, but the Jia family had no brothers, but they also died.

Even if we formed a life-and-death friendship, Fei Chong was promoted and rewarded for this matter, and thus rose to prominence and rose step by step. Until the governor of Huaibei, the status of the Jia family also rose. In more than ten years, he became the leading gentry and businessman in Yingzhou.

In the process of making a fortune, the Jia family helped Fei reuse various open and secret means to gain a lot of benefits. There are commercial income here, but more of them are the same as Yingzhou, which is the benefit of collusion between officials and businessmen, and even converting the wealth of the court into private individuals.

What made Li Ling even more surprised was that Jia Zhengfeng actually recorded all these things as accounts and kept them in his home. As for the purpose, it was naturally to prevent one day he would break the bridge and kill someone to silence him...

After listening to his explanation, Li Ling became more and more excited. Even after the third update, he still said cheerfully: "What you are talking about is the truth? That account book is hidden in the mezzanine of your study room?"

"The villain dares not lie, it's absolutely true."

"Okay, you can sign and seal the confession." Li Ling immediately signaled the clerk to come forward and put the confession in front of him. After he trembled with his fingerprints on the confession, Li Ling quickly ordered: "Come on, go to the Jia family quickly and take the account book back to me!" As he spoke, the corners of his mouth curled up, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes, like a wild beast that chose people to eat.

However, only Li Moyun in front of him saw this change of expression. When everyone was ordered to disperse, he took a step forward and whispered: "Young Master..."

"You can take two steps with me." Li Ling said, walked out of the hall, and then turned into a more secluded and dark path.

Li Moyun followed knowingly, and even took a lantern outside the hall to illuminate the front for Li Ling. The two of them walked in the Yingzhou Prefecture in late at night, with different expressions.

After walking a hundred steps, Li Ling paused and did not look back. He only said softly: "Mo Yun, do you still remember what happened after we returned home from the Xuzhou provincial examination eight years ago?"

Li Moyun nodded silently. He not only remembered the situation when he received the bad news, but also the woman who was as gentle as water and took care of herself as her brother... Sister Le'er. Although he had other identities and missions at that time, he was close and grateful to her. It was she that made him feel the care of his long-lost relatives.

However, when he thought the Li family would live a good life because of the young master's high school juren, when they returned to Jiangcheng, they received such bad news, and the Wei family actually snatched Li Le'er back!

"I couldn't accept it at that time. I even wanted to take people to Jiangbei and take my sister home immediately, but the teacher stopped me because there was a big backer behind the Wei family who I couldn't afford to provoke, and the one who took my sister away was also from the Huaibei Guards, which was not something I could provoke back then.

"At that time, I thought I could bear it for a while. When I went further in the imperial examination and became an official in the court, I could use the most correct means to take my sister home. But what happened? The Luotian Sect attacked Jiangbei County and massacred all the people of the Wei family, even my sister... If I had more courage and less worries at the beginning, maybe my sister would not have suffered such a disaster!

"The Wei family may be really damn, but my sister and Tangtang must be innocent! So over the years, I have been trying my best to deal with the Luotian Sect, and have indeed killed many of them, but this is not enough, far from enough! Because the person who harmed my sister is not just the Luotian Sect!" At this point, Li Ling turned his head suddenly, his eyes as sharp as a sword.

Li Moyun's heart was shocked, and his expression became more and more serious: "The governor of Huaibei Guard, the fee is huge!"

"It's him. In fact, I had already learned some inside story from his subordinates as early as the Taiping Du period. It was because the identity gap between the two parties was too large that they could not avenge this grudge. But it was not that they did not avenge. The time has not come. Now, the time has finally come. This time, he finally fell into my hands!"
