Li Ling knew his wife quite well. Seeing her smiling like this, thinking about her performance on the road just now, she understood what she was thinking about.

At that moment, he shook his head and said, "You are so reckless to have such an idea. I am sure that your reaction has long been expected by Jiang Side. Even if he did so many things, he wanted to force you to take this step!"

"Ah..." Yang Qingxiao was shocked when she heard this, but when she thought about it carefully, she felt that her husband's guess was not wrong.

Li Ling sneered: "This guy is very scheming and his methods are insidious enough. For today, he must have been preparing for many years. So, he naturally has time to understand those who will have an impact on his overall plan, such as you, Qi Tianhe!"

"Is he so insidious and comprehensive?" Even Li Moyun couldn't help but shout. He had seen Jiang Side, but he felt that this person was elegant and graceful, like a scholar who was more than a person in the world. He really couldn't see how terrible he was.

"If he were the only one, it would be impossible to achieve this. But if it were the Qi Chong, the governor of the two Huai, who had long been willing to swallow the Cao Gang, would be completely different. If I had just doubted before, then now, I can be sure that they are one. No, it should be said that Jiang Side is the one who is Fei Chong. He joined the Cao Gang and was instructed to take advantage of the chaos to get the silence. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why he could take the opportunity so accurately, and why the eldest brother was defeated so quickly in this matter, because someone betrayed him..."

Li Ling's speculation was indeed reasonable, which made the other three nodded at the same time, and then Yang Qingxiao even raised her eyebrows: "Jiang Side deserves to die! My elder brother still values ​​him so much, and he is a close friend, treating him as a true brother..."

"If this is the case, the eldest brother would not have been defeated so quickly because he was completely unpredictable. However, although Jiang Side deserves to die, he cannot touch him now. Otherwise, if he can get rid of him, it will also cause the Cao Gang to be really divided!" Li Ling said carefully, "So we can't deal with him this time. He doesn't like to play conspiracies and tricks, and likes to use the power of the government to achieve his goals. Then I'll have fun with him!"

When the few people heard his words, they couldn't help laughing. Even Yang Qingxiao's face was full of resentment and worry, and then she smiled brightly. Yes, when it comes to calculating, how could a person in the world like Jiang Side be the opponent of Li Ling who has repeatedly dealt with conspirators in the court and the public? As for borrowing the power of the government, he could only borrow it. Li Ling is an official, and it is much easier to use the power of the government than him. Especially, he had been an official in Jiangnan for several years, and his friendship with Suzhou officials was quite good.

Li Ling then looked somber: "And there is another one that is our biggest advantage, that is, they don't know that the case in Northern Xinjiang has turned around, that is, they will not guard against me until I have returned. The enemy is open and I am secret. As long as I seize this opportunity, it will be enough to make them suffer a big loss.

"However, the matter will be back soon, so what I mean is to do it immediately and rush to Suzhou as soon as possible, first save Qi Tianhe, then deal with Jiang Side, and bring the Cao Gang back on track!"

Yang Qingxiao nodded vigorously at that time: "Well, I'll go with you. By the way, you've just returned from the capital. Are you a little tired? Should you take a rest for two days?" At this moment, she recovered from her identity as a wife and asked her husband with some concern.

Li Ling smiled gently: "I'm not tired. Compared to the life and death I experienced in Northern Xinjiang, this time I was really nothing. Moreover, there is no time for us to procrastinate anymore. Whether it is Qi Tianhe or the eldest brother in the capital, their cases cannot be delayed, and they must be cleared as soon as possible. All of this falls on Jiang Side!"

After he said this, Yang Qingxiao felt even more nervous. Yes, his elder brother is still in the capital and is about to be punished. It is indeed impossible to delay time.

After their ideas were made, they no longer delayed. After quickly sorting out some packages and luggage, they went out again. As for the rest of the family, they could only comfort them and let them continue to wait for news at home.

Fortunately, Li Ling is now innocent, so whether he is a friend of Jiangcheng County like Gu Yuezi or the local government will take care of him, so he is not afraid that Jiang Side will come again to find trouble.

...

Suzhou City, Caogang Headquarters.

After listening to the reports from several subordinates about the surrounding stalking, Jiang Side also started to mutter: "Is there still no news about Yang Qingxiao?"

"Yes, the leader of the gang. In the past few days, we have scattered many brothers specifically stared at the important water and land roads outside the city, but they have not seen her appear. Even the possible disguise was changed, and we have paid attention to it, but we still have nothing to find."

"This is unreasonable. With the young lady's temperament, when the news is transmitted back, she should have moved." Jiang Side gently tapped his finger on the coffee table, but then smiled again: "But this is reasonable. The young lady is one of the few masters in our Cao Gang. If she really wants to avoid everyone's eyes and ears, there is no way. But one thing is that I think she will never change, that is, she will not let me go.

"Since that's the case, I'll give her this opportunity. Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, right? Our Cao Gang has been racing dragon boats on Jinji Lake every year for many years. Although many things happened to the gang this year and everyone is uneasy, since this is a practice for many years, it can't be abolished, so let's continue."

"Ah..." Several confidants looked at him with confusion, not understanding how to deal with Yang Qingxiao just now, but why did they mention the dragon boat race in a blink of an eye?

Jiang Side did not explain, but continued, "I will go to the lake tomorrow and watch the dragon boat race with the brothers in the gang. Do you know what to do?"

As he glanced at him, the others finally understood. The gang leader planned to use his body as bait and wanted to lure Yang Qingxiao out.

If he had been on the main stele and was surrounded by guards, no matter how good Yang Qingxiao had martial arts skills, she would not have the courage to take the risk of assassination. But when she arrived at the Jinji Lake, there were countless people watching the game as a cover, so she naturally had fewer concerns and thought she was sure to kill the gang leader.

But... when they thought about the situation that would happen after the other party really appeared in assassination, several subordinates showed smug smiles. Only those who followed the gang leader to join the Cao Gang and walked all the way to today's confidants knew that this seemingly gentle and weak deputy gang leader had already surpassed the everyone else of the Cao Gang. As for Yang Qingxiao, if she really dared to come, she would fall into the trap!

...

"At this time, Cao Gang actually wants to hold a dragon boat race in Jinji Lake? Isn't this obviously a trap that attracts people to take the bait? Jiang Side really dares to use it." After listening to the story of the Zaoli opposite, Li Ling couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

Just as the Cao Gang sent out a large number of people to find Yang Qingxiao's traces, Li Ling and his four men had already entered Suzhou City smoothly and avoided these eyes and ears.

It’s not that Li Ling has any route that the Cao Gang cannot master to enter the city, but he just lets his wife return to the identity she should have - a female family member.

A low-key carriage, plus three men dressed in good clothes, said when they entered the city that there were female relatives in the car, so they naturally easily entered Suzhou. As for the few Cao Gang's eyeliners next to them, they only stared at men and women in their thirties who were riding horses or walking, how could they pay attention to such female relatives who could only ride a car?

After entering the city, Li Ling did not stay in any inn, but went straight to the home of Ding Moyang, a clerk of Suzhou Government, and moved directly into his yard.

Ding Moyang has been an old clerk in the government office for many years. Even his father retired from the yamen errands, and then he made up for the gap. He now has twenty years of qualifications as a swordsman. He is considered a family of Zaoli, and naturally he has a certain friendship with Li Ling, who once worked in Yangzhou. Li Ling did him a favor a few years ago, and he saved him once.

So this time, when Li Ling came to the door, Ding Moyang invited them into the house without any hesitation, and then asked about their purpose. After knowing that Li Ling had been relieved, he breathed a sigh of relief: "What are the concerns about Lord Li next? What are the small energy services?"

"It's very simple. I live here. Don't tell anyone. Also, I just help me collect all kinds of information about the Cao Gang, and it doesn't matter how big or small it is."

Although he felt that Li Ling was going to be a big vote this time, Ding Yang still responded in one go. In two days, he really found out everything about the Cao Gang in recent days, and reported to Li Ling. Now he knew that they were going to race dragon boats in Jinji Lake, and even Jiang Side would be there.

Yang Qingxiao was completely calmed down at this time, and she also sneered when she heard this: "He is trying to lead me to kill him, it's so scheming."

"Yes, but this gave us a chance." Li Ling also smiled, but his tone was full of confidence.

"What opportunity?" Yang Zhen asked hurriedly. He has not been idle these days. He has contacted the local Imperial City Spy and has a certain understanding of the government office. Now the Suzhou prefect is almost venting his anger with Jiang Side. It is precisely because of his pressure that most of the Cao Gang choose to stand on Jiang Side's side. After all, there is a lesson from Qi Tianhe.

"Of course, it's just to help Mr. Qi get rid of his crime and turn around the opportunity to argue with the internal disputes of the Cao Gang. Since they will focus on Jinji Lake tomorrow, the rest of the city will relax, especially the government office."

"Sir, do you want to rob the prison and rescue people?" Yang Zhen said in surprise. This is not a good idea.
