"Wu Yan, it has not reached that level yet!" Ling Xin'an's eyes were as calm as water, his face was gloomy, but he said quietly.

"Yes, sir!" Zhong Wuyan lowered his head and said.

Duan Qing, who was sitting on one side, looked ugly. The enemy did not attack the prefect. He and other staff members survived the crisis safely under the protection of the guards. Listening to the fighting outside, Duan Qing even prepared his writing style and faced the unstoppable enemy, ready to die together.

It was not until the next morning that Jiangzhou City had calmed down again. Ling Xin'an's property was protected by numerous troops, and then the bodies were cleaned up and transported to Ling'an in piles. Ling Xin'an stood on the edge of the door, looking at the corpses that were constantly transported over, with no expression on his face. These were people who worked for him, while the family members looked at him from afar, crying sadly, looking at Ling Xin'an, and didn't know how to speak, there was a wailing in front of Ling'an.

At noon, the scorching sun was flying in the sky, and black flies began to smell bad blood. Finally, no corpses were transported over. Standing still, Ling Xin'an, who was still, looked pale, had a sad face and a dark look. No one knew what his heart was like in this short day.

Looking at nearly 300 corpses, Ling Xin'an's heart couldn't help but drip blood. His fists were tightly clasped, squeaking, drops of blood fell from his fingers, and the expression on his face was the same without any change.

"Everyone is buried with them! If the family members want to go back, let them take them back, and all the expenses will come from the Ling Mansion." Ling Xin'an's hoarse voice slowly rang.

"Dog official, for your own selfish desires, you offended all forces, but let us die for you. What do you say to protect us and be our parents, why don't you die for you?" A young woman pointed at Ling Xin'an and cursed with all her might, and she was paralyzed on the ground.

The soldiers were about to come forward to stop them, but when they thought that the woman's family had died, they just stopped her and prevented her from rushing forward without taking any extreme actions.

Ling Xin'an was stunned and looked at the woman. Her eyes finally regained a hint of spirit. She slowly looked at the family members separated by the soldiers in front of her. Their eyes were all on themselves and calmed down. Ling Xin'an slowly spoke: "Everyone, Ling is sorry for you. It was Ling's fault that he failed to protect everyone!" After that, he lowered his head deeply and bowed. Everyone looked at the scene in front of him. The scene that was still wailing just now was suddenly silent.

"But please don't worry, I will definitely avenge this revenge!" Ling Xin'an lowered his head and said slowly. His voice was not loud but calm and powerful. Without waiting for everyone to hear back, Ling Xin'an turned around and walked into Ling's mansion.

"Young master, take a rest!" Xia Xiaoyu hurried over, reached out and held Ling Xin'an's hand, and hurriedly took out a scarf to stop Ling Xin'an's bleeding.

"Young Master, and we are there!" Ling Shuang said with his arm as well.

Ling Xin'an, who was walking, suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and staggered. Xia Xiaoyu and Ling Shuang quickly supported Ling Xin'an, shocked and lost their appearance: "Young Master!"

This scene fell into the eyes of everyone, and they were shocked and were about to greet him, but Ling Xin'an stopped with his hands: "I'm fine!"

"Sir, are you really okay?" Zhong Wuyan said.

"It's a good thing that blood stasis comes out in the chest!" Ling Xin'an sat in the hall and said lightly.

Xia Xiaoyu and Ling Shuang looked worried, but Ling Xue was restless.

"Don't worry, Jiang Tao hasn't

It's up, he should go to save Lin Wei!" Ling Xinan comforted Ling Xue.

"Young Master, it's my powerlessness. You shouldn't have to comfort me at this time!" Ling Xue suddenly dripped in tears and said crying.

"How could it be? It's because my strength is too weak to protect you Zhouquan!" Ling Xin'an smiled bitterly and said, "This is the second time. The first time I've been attacked. I can't protect you from safety. Now it's the same. Don't worry, there won't be a third time!"

Everyone Qi Ran, Ling Xinan said: "You go and have a rest too, I will look up to Jingjing!"

Everyone retreated, and only Ling Xin'an was left in the hall, sitting quietly, and the whole Ling Mansion was quiet and weird.

"It's outrageous. Butler Yang, please bring my guards to Jiangzhou City and protect An'er!" Ling Shang's angry words sounded over Ling'er in the capital. When a scene that happened in Jiangzhou City reached the capital, not only the capital was in an uproar, but also the Ling'er.

This is a signal to declare war on Ling Mansion.

In the Hall of Light, the Emperor of Great Zhou's voice was unprecedentedly cold: "It's unrestrained, at my feet, someone openly killed the official of the Great Zhou court. He was really bold. The Ministry of Justice immediately rushed to Jiangzhou to investigate the matter thoroughly."

"Return to Your Majesty, Jiangzhou Prefect Ling Zhian had already submitted a memorial yesterday, saying that this matter was an attack on him by people in the world, and it was a grudge against the world, and it did not involve the affairs of the court!" Wang Lingwei of the Ministry of Revenue immediately stood up and held Ling Xin'an's memorial in his hand.

Ling Shang stared at Wang Lingwei, almost about to spit out a fire, and immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, whether it is a man in the martial arts world or a person from the Five Barbarians, attacking the imperial officials in broad daylight is a blatant challenge to the court order. Please give your Majesty the order to capture the prisoners."

"Master Ling, do you know who the prisoner is? Before the truth is found out, I said that I would capture the real murderer. How to catch him? Who should I catch him?" Wang Lingwei stared at Ling Shang and sneered, then raised his hand: "What's more, the prefect Ling has submitted a memorial, telling His Majesty not to investigate this matter. This is his memorial. Should Lord Ling look at it?"

Ling Shang's face was constantly blue and purple, and he said angrily: "My son doesn't want to disturb Your Majesty's Holy Body, but the court should not lose his face!"

"Mr. Ling is so powerful. Do you actually carry the face of the court and shout for your Ling family's grievances?" Wang Lingwei's voice couldn't help but increase a little.

Ling Shang said angrily: "Mr. Wang, this matter is attacking the imperial court's official. All the soldiers in Jiangzhou garrison were dispatched, with casualties and injuries. This is my Great Zhou soldiers. Does Lord Wang think that the soldiers in the garrison are also from my Ling family? What is the intention of killing my Great Zhou soldiers not challenging the imperial court?"

Wang Lingwei's expression stagnated and sneered: "My soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty are maintaining local order and fighting against the enemy. The casualties are unpredictable. They have their own court to comfort the heroes. But they did not hear the enemy attacking the prefect, but only attacked the Ling Mansion. Lord Ling, do you think this is not a personal grudge?"

Ling Shang was about to refute, and a voice came from his ear: "The memorial of the prefect Ling is here."

The two were shocked, and Wang Lingwei was delighted: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

The memorial was quickly passed to the hands of the current Emperor of Great Zhou through Eunuch Zhao. He looked at the memorial with expressionless eyes. There was no sound in the entire hall, and it was terrible. After a long time, the Emperor of Great Zhou slowly closed the memorial and said, "Let the prefect of Jiangzhou Ling Zhian investigate the real murderer of the martial arts world. If you do not investigate clearly, you will be given a salary for three years and be demoted to the government office. The prefect of Jiangzhou will choose a wise man.

treat!"

As soon as these words came, the whole hall was in an uproar, the capital was in an uproar, and the Ling family was even more uproar!

The incident of Ling Mansion in Jiangzhou City has long been circulating in the capital, and the content of Ling Xin'an's memorial was spread among some accidentally ordered officials of the court.

"What? The Ling Mansion in Jiangzhou offended the martial arts world this time, so he was chased and killed, and he didn't even dare to resist?" Someone in a mansion said in surprise.

"I heard that the Ling family Saner met a cruel person this time, and the foundation of Jiangzhou City was almost uprooted!" said the ladies around.

"I just said, the infatuated person who only knows how to write love letters is only concerned about the past and the future. Now, let's get retribution!" Someone sneered in a teahouse.

But in more mansions, it was as quiet as strange. In the past, no matter what happened to the court, as long as it did not involve the royal family, it would more or less say a few words. However, this matter calmed the entire court officials, especially when officials returned to their mansions, they severely warned everyone in the mansion not to discuss the matter publicly, and they could not stimulate the Ling Mansion. In addition to the Wang Mansion, it is said that Wang Lingwei from the Ministry of Revenue returned home happily and ordered Daqing for three days.

After all, there is a terrifying existence in the four squares.

When Ling Xin'an received the imperial edict, his eyes and expression did not change, but he just looked ahead lightly.

He has been sitting here for three days. For three days, Ling Xin'an just drank water and stayed asleep. Sitting here quietly, except for writing memorials and collecting memorials, he no longer spoke.

This scene worried everyone, but he gave the order, and everyone could not enter the hall without his instructions, so they sat there and no one knew what he was pondering.

When night fell again, Ling Xin'an stood up and ordered his servants to prepare hot water. When everyone saw that their adults finally walked out of the hall, they were ready immediately. Ling Xin'an sat in the hot water pool. Soon, Xia Xiaoyu and Ling Shuang walked in with blushing faces, gently sat in the pool and gave him a massage. Without words, they quietly sootheed Ling Xin'an's muscles in their body.

"I'm fine!" Ling Xin'an spoke slowly, his voice hoarse.

Xia Xiaoyu trembled and said slightly: "Young Master, we have considered these things, but we came earlier."

Ling Xin'an sighed: "Those are people who follow us. In the past, I killed people, but they killed others. At that time, I just hoped that others would understand me and not force me. I just wanted to do something for the people. Now that others killed me, they were not to let others understand or compassionate them, nor to the people, but to satisfy their selfish desires. It was because I seized these resources, but without me, these resources were not resources at all, but a bunch of waste. Now that the waste has become treasures, they are jealous, occupying my achievements and killing me. I was thinking, I am still too kind, not killing enough people, and not cruel enough."

Xia Xiaoyu and Ling Shuang looked at each other and felt Ling Xin'an's resentment and murderous intent. They were frightened. Ling Shuang even took off the last strand of thin clothes on her body and put them on Ling Xin'an's side, trying to warm him.

Ling Xinan said lightly: "Don't worry, I'm fine. Since good people in this world are hard to do, I'll be a bad person and let them know what it means to be the real evil, but only the more evil."
