"Hiss... it hurts..." As the doctor applied the wound medicine to the wound on his buttocks and back, Li Ling couldn't help but scream, and his body trembled. This made Yue'er on the side more nervous. Her little hand tugged her clothes tightly, and her eyes turned red: "Brother...wuwu..."

"No... it's okay, it's just a little bit of skin injuries, so I've been beaten twice, a small matter, a small matter." Seeing that my sister was about to cry, Li Ling quickly endured the pain and comforted her. In this distraction, the pain on her back became weaker and her body no longer trembled.

The doctor took the opportunity to apply the last bit of the wound medicine and reminded him: "Young Master Li, the injury on your body is not inconvenient. As long as you don't get touched with water for the next three days, you will be treated on time, and then you will be cured. Fortunately, you were beaten twice. If you do a few more times, it will be a big trouble if you really hurt your muscles and bones." As he said that, he put down the prescription and ointment, received the medical fee from Gu Yuezi, and said goodbye and left.

It was not until the doctor left and there were only three of them left in the room that Gu Yuezi said with a serious expression: "Brother, you are too risky this time, you really shouldn't have done this. Just told the doctor, if it weren't for the Xinxian Zun arrived, I'm afraid you..." As he said that, he sighed with lingering fear.

Li Ling just lay on the bed and grinned bitterly: "Brother Gu, do you think I want to take risks? I have to do it. If I don't do that, I'm afraid I'll really lose my life and have to fight this."

"How do you say this?"

"Didn't I say it in the court? Zhuang Hongzhen asked someone to burn the Jiageku where I am. This is to destroy the evidence of their corruption and abuse of power before the Xin County Magistrate took office, and secondly, to completely get rid of me. If I hadn't discovered it in time and took it down, I would have been a scorched corpse now."

This made the other two people scared for a while. Yue'er opened her mouth wide and didn't know what to say for a moment. Gu Yuezi was shocked: "Be serious about this? Do they really have the courage to do such a thing?"

"What's the matter in our county that his brothers dare not do? I took everyone on the spot, but wasn't it taken away by his subordinates? I thought Captain Lin was righteous, but he didn't expect that he would still be the same as him!"

"Captain Lin is very concerned about everyone on weekdays and is very good at it. I'm afraid he has other difficulties if he refuses to help you." Gu Yuezi helped explain, and then said, "I really can't figure out why you would let them do everything and have to get rid of you? Where did you offend them?"

"This is exactly what I feel confused. I really don't realize that I'm not hindering his brothers from the bank, and they have made them frame them so deliberately. Not only this time, the last time my family was thieves, Yue'er and I were injured, but also people sent by Zhuang Qiang."

"What? How did you find out about this?" Gu Yuezi was stunned and asked quickly.

Only then did Li Ling tell the details he found some time ago: "...so from then on, I was more careful. Now it seems that my guess was really good at that time. Everything was the dealer attacking me behind the scenes. If we weren't for our good luck, we would have died long ago."

Gu Yuezi felt a chill on his back when he heard this, thinking that if he was facing such a situation, he wouldn't be as calm as Li Ling, which made him respect Li Ling a little more. Li Ling continued: "But this time it was a bit rewarding. I had asked some inside information from the guy named Xu Fei. It seemed that it was not because the banker had a grudge with my family, but a guy named Zhang Fen begged Zhuang Qiang to have this series of actions. But I really couldn't remember when my family had formed a grudge with this person."

"Zhang Fen, it seems to be a little bit of an impression..." Gu Yuezi thought for a while, but he couldn't find much clue. "I'll talk about it carefully. By the way, since that's the case, it's not safe for you brothers and sisters to be here. It's hard to guarantee that the dealer will not use the same trick again. Why not move to my place and have some advice?"

Li Ling said this and felt warm. Gu Yuezi was really a good friend. Even if he offended the big guy, he had no intention of retreating and drawing a line. Instead, he decided to protect his brother and sister. However, he shook his head: "Brother Gu, I appreciate your kindness, but there is no need to be such a trouble. At least my family is absolutely safe recently. Now things have become big, and the brothers of the banker have long become suspects. Once I really make any mistakes, they will be confirmed. No one will be able to protect them. So our brother and sister are absolutely safe during this period."

Gu Yuezi thought about it and agreed to his inference: "Since that's the case, I won't force it. Then do you have any countermeasures next? I saw it today. Even the county magistrate is not easy to stop this case. Once it is left unresolved, they will definitely take revenge!"

"That's right, it depends on whether our new county magistrate dares to take action. In the past few years, many county magistrates in Jiangcheng County have left office for various reasons. Everyone should know the whole story. Since he has come, he should also find out some details. If Zhuang Hong is not eliminated, his county magistrate will definitely not be able to sit steadily!"

"So you want to use the sword of the magistrate of Wei to help you get rid of them?" Gu Yuezi shivered as he said. This brother is too brave. He is just an ordinary citizen. He dares to get involved in such a big deal?

"No, I handed the knife to the magistrate. As long as he is a smart person, he should know that this is his only chance! So next, we will only see if County Wei, who is here and wants to visit the people in a private manner, has the courage to give it a try."

"I'm afraid it's not easy. Actually, I have heard of it. Several county magistrates in recent years have thought about collecting power, but in the end... they are just foreign officials after all, so how could they be the opponent of Zhuang Dianshi, who is deeply rooted in the hometown? In the end, the government orders were not met and ended in a sad way." Gu Yuezi sighed.

Li Ling smiled: "Some things seem difficult, but they are actually simple. Just a piece of window paper, just look at whether our magistrate Wei has this ability. Or maybe the master who comes with him can see the key points. The victory or defeat lies in their thoughts!"

...

At dusk, the dealer's mansion.

With a bang, a good official kiln porcelain cup had been smashed by Zhuang Qiang. Then he stood up suddenly and walked out with a big stroll. However, he was stopped by Zhuang Hong, who was sitting upright with a gloomy face behind him: "Stop, what are you going to do?"

"Of course I've found someone to solve that boy Li Ling! He dared to treat you like this in court. I'm really impatient!" Zhuang Qiang's eyes turned red, and his breathing was rapid. He said that for many years, only the Zhuang family bullied people, and no one dared to fight back. If he was not ashamed of the Li family and killed him, how could he be so angry?

"Silly!" Zhuang Hong immediately rebuked, "Did you have a pig brain? Or have you been so smooth recently and really regarded yourself as a character? Our Dayue Dynasty has a royal law. If Li Ling dies, our crime will be completely confirmed and we will definitely die!"

"I..." The angry Zhuang Qiang was really calmed down after being scolded by his brother. He was not entirely a gangster who only knew how brave and fierce. He turned around and could only hum, "What should I do about this matter? Just let them go and let the magistrate Wei find out the truth?"

"Of course not! This is Jiangcheng County, which our banker manages for three generations. The county government is full of our people. Will I let the new Wei Liang succeed? Today, he was caught off guard and lost the opportunity. But since I have recovered, I will not be able to let him go after tomorrow."

"What do you mean by brother?" Zhuang Qiang finally slowly understood something, and the anger on his face gradually calmed down.

"How did we deal with those county magistrates in the past? This time it was still the case. He thought that if we came to Jiangcheng County with a court official order, we could control everything. I have to let him know who has the final say here. A county magistrate, a master, and a servant, can even make a fortune? You can pass on the words to others now, and tomorrow will start..."

With Zhuang Hong's orders, a smile appeared on Zhuang Qiang's face: "Brother, don't worry, I'll make arrangements now. Hehe, as long as we get the county magistrate Wei first, Li Ling will not let us rub it at that time, and he will have a chance to take his life."

"Just understand, go." Zhuang Hong waved his hand with satisfaction when he saw this and asked his brother to arrange the relevant matters. But somehow, even though he had several successful experiences, he still felt a little uneasy in his heart this time, but when he thought about it carefully, he didn't know where the problem was. What did he ignore?

...

The back hall of the county government office. This is the place where the county magistrate will live in the future. It covers a lot of land, but the three of them seem a bit too deserted here.

Since moving his luggage and other things into the back hall, Wei Liang obviously felt a strange feeling of being isolated, that is, the servants who were responsible for cleaning were avoiding him when they saw him, which made him feel very uncomfortable. In the end, he could only call Cao Jin to ask for advice.

Cao Jin, the old man who came with him, was his confidence in taking office this time, and was the master he invited after many twists and turns. His previous performance in the hall was enough to show the teacher's methods.

Faced with the uneasiness shown by Wei Liang, Cao Jin just smiled and comforted: "The boss doesn't have to worry too much. This is actually reasonable. Zhuang Hong has been in the county government for many years, so the people below are naturally afraid of it as a tiger. At this time, they are afraid of being affected by the fish in the pond. But I feel that as long as we can really take it down in one fell swoop, the boss will be able to take over the power in the future, and no one dares to disrespect it anymore."
