After getting the confession he wanted, Li Ling waved to ask someone to take all the criminals down and continue to be detained.

Although these people have pushed many of their crimes to Jiang Guixun, their crimes are still not light. It is inevitable that they will lose their posts and dismissal, and they may be severely punished and exiled.

Of course, Li Ling naturally would not consider these things. At this time, he turned his eyes to Jiang Guixun who was almost limping on the ground: "Governor Jiang, what else do you have to say now?"

"Hahaha..." A smirk came from Jiang Guixun's mouth. Whether it was because of fear or anger, his body began to tremble again: "Mr. Li...Li Ling, I still underestimate you! Your courage is greater than anyone I have ever seen. You actually want to deal with the prince through me... Do you think you can really succeed? That's Your Highness, the Crown Prince, my Grand Yue..."

"I don't think this accusation can really defeat the prince, and I can't produce more conclusive evidence, so the prince is still the prince." Li Ling answered calmly.

"Then you still..." Jiang Guixun was a little stupid. What did he do? Aren't you afraid of being crazy revenge for this? That's the prince. The future emperor will not be easy to deal with him as a third or fourth-rank official?

Li Ling just smiled and said, "I don't hide it from you. My ultimate goal when I came to Huguang this time is to find out the flaws of the prince and then attack him for his good reputation in the court and the country. If some of his wings can be cut off, I will gain even more!"

"you……"

"Okay, you don't need your care for my affairs anymore. You should take care of yourself first." Li Ling said with a smile, "Now your crime has been confirmed. I don't even have to report to the court to kill you first and then report it to the name of civil resentment. Don't you want to say anything for yourself?"

"Ha... The success of the king and the defeat of the enemy, since that's the case, what else can I say? You, Li Ling, are indeed more terrifying than what I thought before. I will lose to you and die at your hands, and it will be no loss." Jiang Guixun was calm at this time, and even sat up slowly and looked at Li Ling high and low.

"Yes, you will definitely die, but have you ever thought about your family? With these crimes now, it is not an exaggeration to search your family and exterminate your clan, not to mention that this matter has already involved the prince. I am afraid that more people will express their loyalty to the prince and will do whatever it takes to take your clan's life!"

"I naturally knew that there would be such an ending, but I was powerless to change..." How could the dying person have the spare time to save his family and relatives? Anyway, Jiang Guixun was already desperate.

Li Ling smiled slightly at this moment: "What if the people behind me and I are willing to protect your family from being implicated?"

"You..." Jiang Guixun was shocked again so much that he couldn't say a complete sentence, and was also full of doubts and disbelief. Li Ling and himself have become such an endless enemy, and will he kindly save his family?

But soon, he saw the truth from Li Ling's eyes again, and what he said was true!

"What are your plans? Are you asking me to prove that all this is the commander behind the prince like them?" Now he had already understood vaguely that the power behind Li Ling might not be under the prince, at least he wanted to fight with him and replace him. But the question is, since the accident between King Yong, is there such a force in the court?

But soon, he threw this suspicion aside. What does the other party rely on and what power is there behind him? What does it have to do with him? The most important thing now is that Li Ling's words are truly trustworthy and what can he do for him?

When he was bound to die, Jiang Guixun still had something to ask for. If his relatives and family survived, especially his sons and grandchildren could not be implicated, then everything would be worth it.

Li Ling smiled and nodded: "The evidence from those local officials is indeed not convincing enough, so I need the final accusation before your death by Governor Jiang. But in addition, I have another question to ask for advice, and I hope you can answer truthfully."

"...I promise you." After a while of silence, Jiang Guixun finally nodded in response. At this point, he seemed to have no better choice than to believe in Li Ling. Then, he asked curiously: "What is another matter?" He could actually compare with the prince.

"According to what I have investigated, the Luotian Sect has taken deep roots in Huguang. They are also involved in this matter, right? What I want to know is where their real headquarter is, and where is the rebel leader who contacted you before?" As he spoke, Li Ling stared at him without a moment, waiting for Jiang Guixun to give the answer.

Jiang Guixun looked at Li Ling in surprise. He didn't expect that what he cared most was the whereabouts of the Luotian Sect's traitor. But soon, he came back to his senses and smiled bitterly: "Actually, I don't know either."

"Huh?" It was Li Ling's turn to be surprised and looked up and down with some suspicion.

"Mr. Li, although I am selfish and do things, I have not forgotten my identity. Since I have appointed an official for the court, how could I collude with the Luotian Sect? You wouldn't really think I would be stupid enough to form an alliance with the rebels as a governor of a province, and bring disaster to myself, right?"

When Li Ling saw him saying this with a serious expression, he thought about the reason, and he really felt it was right, but he still had some doubts in his heart: "But why did I hear that you are going to take a gamble because I had an appointment with Luo Tian Sect first, and I plan to join forces with them to attack me?"

"You're right. I really thought about killing you with the hands of Luotian Sect! But what happened? They never showed up until I failed. Moreover, I have never met any thief from Luotian Sect. The ones who can really hand over the words to them were the Hu family and other cities. In fact, I didn't know until a few days ago that they had this connection with Luotian Sect. If I had heard of it before, I would have done them a long time ago!"

Li Ling narrowed his eyes and thought, if what he said was true, he might have been tricked by Luo Tian Sect this time. Luo Tian Sect, who had reached a cooperation with him, actually used a move to watch the fire from the other side! He sat and watched the internal struggle between them, and then continued to hide in the dark.

"What you said is true?"

"At this moment, what else do I have to deceive you, Lord Li? I am bound to die anyway, and my relatives and family still have to rely on Lord Li to protect you. What are the benefits of lying and offending you at this time?"

After a pause, Jiang Guixun said again: "But Lord Li, if you really want to find out the whereabouts of the Luotian Sect traitor, there is actually a way. Then Hu Wenze, the head of the Hu family, obviously has a close relationship with the Luotian Sect. As long as you torture and ask questions, you can always ask the inside story from him."

Li Ling looked at him and nodded: "I understand. But this point cannot relieve you of your guilt. Within three days, I will punish you in the city of Mingzhengdian. Do you have anything else to say?"

"Haha... I have nothing to say. I just hope that Lord Li can do what I say and make my family survive. I can't finish it." Jiang Guixun said this anymore no longer had the anger or insidiousness he had before, and only had a strong fatigue. When he took the confession Li Ling handed over, he didn't hesitate much. He picked up the pen and signed his name on the top and pressed his fingerprints.

In this way, he not only admitted all the charges, but also pushed the blame to the prince's party like those subordinate officials. Anyway, even if he died, he really had no worries.

After someone took him away, Li Ling breathed a sigh of relief. It was midnight outside and half a month had climbed into the sky. However, he did not go back to the room to rest. Instead, after pondering for a while, he said, "Come on, go and bring me the head of the Hu family, Hu Wenze, and the owners of several other wealthy families." He wanted to strike while the iron was hot and ask these guys for clues about the Luotian Sect.

As a result, after a while, I saw my subordinates rush back. However, according to the distance, the prison cells where the wealthy families were detained were not close to the governor's yamen. Why did they come back so soon?

Just when Li Ling looked at him unexpectedly, the other party said in panic: "Sir, Hu Wenze and other wealthy families, as well as many important people in their family, have been suddenly poisoned and have... died in prison!"

"What?" Li Ling suddenly changed color. Although he guessed that something was wrong, he couldn't help but say in surprise, "What's going on? Who is the one who decides the prison? How could such a thing happen? Others, I want to see him!"

"The prison cell is in charge of Shi Wang... and died when we found him..." the subordinate was even more panicked and replied in a low voice.

Now Li Ling couldn't sit still, so he immediately stood up and walked out: "Take me to see!" The incident was even more serious than he thought. These wealthy families had a good status. They also had their own connections in the court and in the officialdom. Now, when they die, they knew that the Luotian Sect killed people to silence them. If they didn't know, they would push all the mistakes on themselves, thinking that they were doing it to establish their authority and vent their anger.

Half an hour later, when Li Ling hurried to the prison in front, more than 30 corpses had been carried out one after another. Under the illumination of torches, these guys all turned black and their bodies were twisted and deformed. They were obviously all in pain after being poisoned.

Seeing Lord Li come, the prison guards inside and outside the prison were even more uneasy and all knelt down and apologized. Li Ling no longer cared about pursuing them for their crimes at this time, and just stared at them and asked: "Have you discovered anything abnormal before and after the incident? Why are the other prisoners all right? All of these higher-identity criminals were poisoned?"

"Sir, please forgive me. The young people are just ordered to act... Because they have a special identity, Shi Duguan specially told them to prepare food for them. I really didn't know that it was poisonous..." Everyone quickly argued, but they immediately pushed all the blame to the dead Shi Wang.
