Yang Tianyou did not see any serious injuries on his body, and there were only slight scratches on his cheeks. He fell out when he was dragged off the horse that day, but he had healed and scabbed at this time. Moreover, his spirit was quite good, and he did not seem to have been tortured and forced to confess.

But the question is, the point of Yang Wanquan's words just now was whether he was scolded by the condemnation? He was simply questioning that Li Ling's sued was wrong, but by his question, the focus was biased. What people even more concerned about was the last question of Li Ling, is your Yang Tongzhi also related to this case?

This made Yang Wanquan suddenly startle and immediately wanted to deny such criticisms, but before he could think of how to refute it, Wei Liang had already spoken first: "I also think this matter is a bit strange. Yang Tianyou, what is your intention to ask Yang Tongzhi to save you? You are not going to come in real way!" As he said that, he slapped the table with a slam. This time he used a gavel, and the momentum was even stronger than before.

"I... Xiaguan... Xiaguan just screamed like this because of uneasiness in my heart..." Yang Tianyou quickly explained, but was a little pale and powerless, while Li Ling seized the opportunity to refute: "I don't think it is. Your actions are obviously subconscious, that is, they are completely from the heart, because you know very well that now only Yang Tongzhi can save you, and only he will save you, so he is asking him for help so eagerly."

He paused and then clasped his fists again: "Mr. Tai, in these two confessions, Xu Ziyang, the head of the Xu family, once mentioned that in fact, they were not for themselves to murder this official, but for a group of people to monopolize the many benefits of Songjiang. If the officials expected it was not bad, these would probably include some corrupt officials in the government office!

"For their own interests, they have been constantly embezzling the industries of ordinary people. In Huating County, they are like the Xu family, and in the world, they are lawless people such as the Dajiang Gang. But in addition, I believe that there are people in the government who backed them and helped them cover up the aftermath.

"The sudden arrival of the lower official, coupled with the unwillingness to join the Xu family, made them feel dissatisfied. They wanted to use the power of the superior yamen to suppress me. Unexpectedly, the lower official still refused to stop, so they took the risk and used assassination methods. Lord, the lower official admitted that when Yang Tianyou came, I did not sell his face before, and refused to recruit the officials in the county yamen who only followed the orders of the Xu family as he said, and expelled him from the county yamen, which caused their crazy revenge and even assassination!"

"You... you are simply slandering. When did I collude with those bandits in the world? This is all your fabrication and slander! Sir, you have to make the decision for the lower officials!" Yang Tianyou immediately retorted loudly, and his emotions were extremely excited, but the master he called was Yang Wanquan.

But at this point, Yang Wanquan no longer cared about this subordinate, and his heart was suddenly tightened. An extremely bad feeling arose. Li Ling's words meant to drag himself into the water. Where did he get the courage and where did he get the evidence?

"The assassin of the Dajiang Gang, the confessions of the Xu family are here, but I am not talking nonsense! Also, just shortly after you were expelled from the county government, I was assassinated. Do you still dare to say that the two are not in touch? Do you still dare to say that this was not an assassination for personal revenge?" Li Ling stared at the other party with an indignation, "Also, when I entered the government government, I said that I wanted to see the prefect, but someone was forcibly brought to the Tongzhi. He also wanted to hand over Yang Tianyou. Isn't this enough to explain the problem?

"If you two have not given personal gains and colluded with accomplices, why would Yang Tongzhi help you protect you? If it weren't for the officials who have been in Songjiang for many years and have held many powerful government officials, how could you, an official with a small experience, reach a cooperation with the local tyrants and Jianghu Gangs?"

After taking a deep breath, Li Ling made the simplest and clearest final inference in the simplest language: "Mr. Tai. The official can confirm that the two parties have already colluded in one place, just to embezzle my Songjiang wealth and grasp the power of the entire Songjiang Prefecture. I also asked the Lord to take down the relevant criminals, interrogate them carefully, and find out what they did!"

The others in the hall were shocked. The progress of the case was too fast, and the faster ones were the variables. They were just arguing about whether Yang Tianyou was the commander of Li Ling's assassination. In a blink of an eye, Yang Wanquan was dragged into the group of suspects, and these words were actually quite logical...

It was not until this time that Yang Tongzhi woke up like a dream and shouted: "Li Ling, what is your intention to frame me like this? If you come, take him down. I will interrogate him personally and see what he wants to do?" Seeing that he could not fight, he simply used his power to suppress others. Anyway, the government office is still the one who is in charge!

But at the same time, the noble prefect suddenly said: "Come on, take down Yang Wanquan for me!"

This made many officials inside and outside the hall a little stunned. Although Yang Tianyou was indeed the real controller of the government office, the orders of the Lord of the Palace still made people feel a little afraid to disobey, especially in such a public eye that he did not listen to the orders of the Lord of the Palace, and did not take Yang Tongzhi, but obeyed his orders to get a county magistrate to sue. It was indeed inevitable that he would hesitate.

But in this hesitation, they were snatched in front of them. The two of them suddenly dodged and appeared behind Yang Wanquan almost at the same time. While each of them pressed his shoulders, they pushed forward with force and thumped the Tongzhi of the government office to kneel on the ground, and the pain made him humble.

It was Li Moyun and Wan Shenji who quickly took action after seeing Li Ling's gesture. Before the others could react, they had already subdued Yang Wanquan. The other person even drew their swords in their hands and put them on his neck: "Tell me, how did you collude together?"

"Don't do anything randomly!" Li Youzhen was also shocked by the sudden change and immediately shouted, trying to stop it. The other officials wanted to attack Li Ling, but when they saw that Yang Tongzhi was taken by someone, they stopped and dared not make any abnormal moves.

Many officials in the government office were so scared that their faces turned pale. They quickly took two steps back. When they looked at Li Ling and the prefect above, there was a hint of fear in their eyes.

Originally, they had no awe of this young prefect who came alone, had no foundation, and seemed to have no skills, so they naturally were happy to suppress him with their Tongzhi and seize more benefits.

But now, the situation has changed suddenly. Yang Tongzhi, who has always firmly grasped the power of the government office, was sued for serious crimes and was seized. This has given many officials a new understanding of the prefect and realized that today's storm was definitely not a sudden incident, but someone was deliberately dealing with Yang Tongzhi. The person who manipulated all this was obviously impossible to be Li Ling, the magistrate of Huating County, but the prefect Wei who has always been underestimated by everyone!

They thought they could see the truth clearly and were frightened. They didn't dare to help Yang Wanquan for a while. Even Li Youzhen, who was closest to him, remained silent at this moment.

But they were silent, but Li Ling could not stop it, but continued to shout: "Actually, their conspiracy had a flaw early on. May I ask Master Tai, did Yang Tianyou transfer the personnel from the county government to me to Huating County?"

Wei Liang immediately shook his head: "Of course not. I didn't know about this from you until just now."

"That's it. An experienced official dared to come to the county town, which was strange. He did not come on the order of the prefect, but he kept saying that he came on the order, which made the officials even more puzzled. Whose order was he was given?" Li Ling said, and took out another piece of paper to sway everyone, "This is the so-called order of the upper peak that I found from Zhang Tianyou. It was obvious that the Tongzhi seal was stamped.

"But the question is, when did the government and the government office have such power? This is an usurpation! Yang Wanquan and Yang Tianyou dared to force it even though they knew that this move was inappropriate, but they did not report it to the prefect. This shows that they knew that this matter was not legal and could not be approved by the prefect, so they took the risk.

"This order alone can confirm that Yang Tongzhi is inseparable from this case. He is the culprit behind the assassination of Xiaguan. I also asked the prefect to make the decision for the Xiaguan, and to abandon this traitor to the court, and to give me a bright world of Songjiang!" At the end of the story, Li Ling bent down deeply and bowed deeply, putting his attitude very low.

Wei Liang's face also became extremely solemn at this time, and his eyes were fixed on Yang Wanquan: "Yang Tongzhi, what else do you have to say now?"

"I... I'm wronged, this is called a crime of wanting to be punished..." After saying a while, Yang Wanquan suddenly snorted again, but Wan Shenji behind him pressed hard on his shoulders and neck, making it difficult for him to speak any more.

Wei Liang was a little stunned and understood that Li Ling was going to completely convict him. But the problem was that these charges seemed reasonable, but in the end they lacked the most important physical evidence. It was not enough to rely on the confession and the official documents of the government office.

Li Ling immediately saw his concerns and immediately said, "Sir, it's not difficult to really need evidence. The official just said that these people colluded with local gentry and thieves and bandits in the world, and weren't the ill-gotten gains? As long as they searched at his home, they would definitely find all kinds of evidence of their corruption and abuse of power and using their power for personal gain!"
