The two officers carried a stretcher into the second hall of the county government. After many yamen officials and the people living there, they were sent to the public room of County Magistrate Li. It was not until this time that these curious eyes were taken back by the masters. Since it was the matter of the county magistrate, it would be natural that they would not be wrong, even if they looked a little strange.

The stretcher had his legs and knees broken, and he was much more haggard and older than two or three days ago. His face was pale and his eyes were closed, looking at Fang Jinbo, who was still sleeping.

Since they were captured by Yang Qingxiao that night, they were detained in prison by Luo Tian Sect. They were only for emergency bandages and treatment, and then left aside. It was not until this time that they were remembered by Li Ling and called them to the front.

Of course, Fang Jinbo was not in a coma. The pain in his legs made him unable to sleep well for three days. He knew better that he would be brought to someone at this time. Now he closed his eyes and pretended to be fainting just to show that he was unwilling to cooperate and refused to explain anything.

After the stretcher landed, the surroundings became quiet. After a while, he heard a slow footstep approaching and stopped beside him. It seemed that someone was looking at him condescendingly, which made Fang Jinbo want to open his eyes and see clearly, but in the end he endured it and guessed in his heart how Li Ling would greet him next.

After another silence, Li Ling's voice rang from the left: "Fang Jinbo, do you still want to resist stubbornly and become an enemy of this official to the end?"

Seeing that the other party was still closing his eyes and silent, Li Ling was not very annoyed, but said slowly: "I think you should have guessed that all your plans have failed, right? I might as well tell you the truth. Your conspiracy to dig the river embankment and flood the city has been easily resolved by my subordinates. Not only have you fallen into the hands of our county government, but your accomplices and subordinates were not killed on the spot or captured. Therefore, all the conspiracies of your Luotian Sect have failed, and your life and death are even more in my mind. Now, can you say something to me?"

Even though he had some guesses in his mind, Fang Jinbo still felt a little disappointed after hearing Li Ling's words. He really failed? He worked hard for many years and made all preparations, but he was really cracked by the young county magistrate around him who had only been to Huating for several months?

Lost, annoyed, suspicious... Many emotions were mixed together, making it difficult for him to keep his mentality calm. He suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Li Ling who was smiling with bloodshot eyes: "You are lying. If our entire plan is destroyed by you, you will not have to worry about meeting me this time!"

"Then you are wrong. Even if you commit a heinous crime, I will still try you according to the law. Even if you want to cut you into pieces, the procedures you should have cannot be tried."

"But you are not convicting me and just trying to find out more from me." Fang Jinbo grinned and looked at the empty public housing. Apart from him and Li Ling, there were only two men with swords left here, which was obviously not considered a court for trial.

Li Ling did not avoid it and nodded with a smile: "You are right. I asked you to come here at this time and I really want to ask you something. You are a steady person in your business. You have hidden all the food accumulated by the Xu Fang family over the years in the morning. If you still have a trace of repentance, you should tell me the whereabouts of the food. This is to make some compensation for the sins you have committed."

"Food? How did you know I still have food in my hands?"

"Isn't this obvious? The granary of your Fang family is almost empty like the Xu family, but how could your family be so unbearable? The only explanation is that you had hidden the grain long before the incident, just like you had secretly sent your family out of the city early in the morning."

"Mr. Li is really careful. You can even see this..."

"It's not that I'm careful, but because the truth is here, let alone the Xu family's affairs. The death of Xu Ziyang and others is not so much that Xu Sen is in order to revenge, but rather that you killed someone to silence the truth! Obviously, their food is with your Fang family's food, and they also know where the food is hidden!"

Li Ling told the flaw incisively, which made Fang Jinbo slightly stunned, but then he laughed again: "Even if that's the case, so what? Yes, the grain from my two families was sent out of Huating County. Now I know their whereabouts, I am the only one who knows their whereabouts. But why should I tell you their whereabouts so that you can ruin my cause?

"I'm not afraid to tell you some truth. This time, I'm not only targeting Huating, Songjiang Prefecture, but also the entire Jiangnan, which is where we are going to disrupt it. And in the past few days, major events will happen one after another. Do you think that Huating County will be broken? No, all important cities in Jiangnan will cause floods. By then, the wealthy Jiangnan will become a country of ​​whole country, and more than 20 million people will become refugees. They will become a huge burden for the government and court because of their survival problems.

"And what I want to do in the Holy Church is nothing more than taking out some food to gather this huge force, allowing them to attack cities and villages, make Jiangnan our land, and let the millions of people here become our religious people and people. In this way, we have the bargaining chips to compete with the Dayue court in the world, and this day will change.

"Do you think you can change such a grand trend just by relying on you? No, you can't do anything, you can't even save the people of your county. I can see that you should still be suffering from disaster now, and food has become your biggest life gate, but only I have the whereabouts of food! Beg me, even if you beg me, kneel down and kowtow to me, I won't tell you where the food is! Hahahaha..."

At the end, he laughed happily, trembling all over his body, and the wounds on his legs were cracking. Blood continued to seep out again, but he was still smiling there...

Li Ling looked at his crazy smiling face, and his expression became colder little by little. Until the other party's laughter stopped, he hummed softly: "For some of your delusions, I will not hesitate to let countless innocent people suffer tragic deaths. Your Luotian Sect is indeed worthy of being the most vicious force in ancient times. My idea of ​​completely eliminating you is indeed good!"

"Hehe, those who accomplish great things are not careful. Their sacrifice is to exchange for a brand new world. Everyone's death is worth it. If you don't know why I, Luotian Sect, were born, naturally I won't understand the truth!"

Facing Fang Jinbo's disapproval, Li Ling only frowned, but did not ask. Jiangnan was facing a huge disaster, which he had actually been brought out from Xu Sen's mouth two days ago. Judging from the situation in Huating, other places should not be optimistic, so he did not immediately send people to the Fucheng for help and ask the teacher for food, but instead put his ideas on the Fang family.

Now he was even more convinced that the chaos in Jiangnan was greater than he thought. Moreover, Luo Tian Sect’s ambition this time was not only to destroy the wealth and soil of Jiangnan. They had even thought about the subsequent series of behaviors and were ready to take advantage of the situation and make trouble.

At the same time, he also believed more about what Fang Jinbo said, and he mastered a large number of grain. Because if he really wanted to gather the people and form a rebellion, the most important thing for the Luotian Sect was not how much power the government had to resist at that time, but how much money and grain they had in their hands.

Looking at Li Ling's heavy expression, Fang Jinbo became more and more proud: "At this point, you can no longer change the trend of Jiangnan. If I were you, there were only two choices that could be made now. One was to take advantage of the situation and resign and escape quickly, and perhaps you could still save your life; the other was to submit to my holy teachings and use them for my own use. Of course, you can also choose to hold on to the end, but by then, you will be able to die without a burial place."

Li Ling looked back at him: "I thought I could quell this conspiracy and rebellion, just like I stopped you in time from digging the river embankment and flooding our county town!"

"Just you? You can't even save the people of Huating County. You have no food. Most of the food in the official warehouse has been embezzled by my two families. What else can you rely on to save Jiangnan?"

After a pause, he looked at Li Ling provocatively: "Of course, you can try to ask me and ask me the whereabouts of the food from me. But do you think I will tell you? Maybe you should torture me... By the way, even if I don't say it, you should see that I am very weak now after being seriously injured. Maybe I can kill my life with just one board... I am not afraid of death for the Holy Church. What about you? Are you not afraid of losing the last little hope for this, and the last clue to find food?"

Such direct provocative words caught Li Ling's face, making his face dark instantly. He stared at the other party, but could only see Fang Jinbo full of indifferent sneer. He had already sacrificed his life, and after breaking his legs, he even regarded death as liberation!

Li Moyun watched from the side, angry, but powerless. No matter how good his martial arts skills are, he would never be able to help the young master in this matter.

At this moment, a man hurried to the door and shouted inside: "Sir, there's a result." It was Chang Fan.

When Li Ling heard him say this, he suddenly felt refreshed. He ignored Fang Jinbo and hurried over: "What do you say?"

"We have taken the person and have not brought it yet. However, they have brought this." Chang Fan said, sending a golden lock and a white jade Guanyin pendant to Li Ling. After getting these two things, Li Ling raised his eyebrows, and his face showed a sure-win expression again, and his previous anxiety was wiped out.
