Xue Yang knew that there was nothing wrong with what Wu Yong said, but he couldn't help but feel distressed for making him spend so much.

But he still called out to Ling Shuming: "Sir, please stay."

"This is not a small amount. It takes me a while to think about it."

"Please stay for now. Since Xiao Wu has invited you here, how can I let you come here in vain?"

"Sir, I can't get the money together right away. How about this? You deal with the person first, and I'll get the thousand taels of gold for you."

Xue Yang had planned it very well in his mind. Although the amount of money was large, it was not impossible for him to take it out.

He tightened his trousers and gritted his teeth and still managed to take it out.

Why do I say that? It's just that I will give him the gold when everything is absolutely safe.

Otherwise, if he gave it in advance and the person did not die, where could he go to seek justice?

With Ling Shuming's move, he could strangle him to death like strangling an ant.

If Ling Shuming doesn't return it to him at that time, there will be nothing he can do.

If he gets angry, it would be easy for others to kill him.

When Ling Shuming heard Xue Yang say this, his expression eased a little: "That's fine too."

"You go ahead and gather them. I'll come back to get them after I kill all the people you want to kill."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Xue Yang warningly: "Don't play tricks on me."

"If you dare to lie to me, I will make you wish you were dead!"

Xue Yang nodded repeatedly under that cold gaze: "Don't worry, sir. I wouldn't dare to lie to you."

"I have seen your methods. If I deceive you, I will give up my life."

"Don't worry, I will prepare it as soon as possible, and I will give you all the gold after you finish your business."

Ling Shuming nodded with satisfaction.

Ling Shuming was not a man without rules. He had also learned from Wu Yong that the Xu family was just an ordinary family and it would be easy for him to poison the entire family.

But it was not easy for the other group of people.

According to Wu Yong, they captured him easily.

There are several people who are masters.

These few people are a bit troublesome, but not too much trouble.

Poisoning is much easier than any other method of killing, and there are countless ways to poison.

So it's just a little troublesome for Ling Shuming, but it doesn't have any impact.

In the next few days, the government office remained quiet and the people still did not know that all the bandits had been captured.

It's like they are planning some big conspiracy.

Zhou Jingxuan asked An Er and others to investigate the situation in the government office, and also sent people to keep an eye on the Xu family.

Although Xu Ning is not very reliable, he is not a bad person after all.

Therefore, Zhou Jingxuan also asked people to keep an eye on them as much as possible to ensure that their lives were not in danger.

An Er quickly found out everything about the situation in the government office.

Xue Yang had no idea that their actions had already been exposed. It was no wonder that Xue Yang hadn't thought of it. This was just a small county town. Who would have thought that there were such powerful people here?

When An Er came back, he told what he had heard, saying that a powerful person had been hired to work in the government office.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone knew why this powerful person was invited here, and naturally, he was here to deal with them.

I just don't know why I haven't done anything yet.

An Er also asked someone to draw a picture of this person's appearance.

Jiang Si and Zhou Jingxuan recognized him at first sight; they had seen this person in the past few days.

It seems he is still cautious.

Zhou Jingxuan has been staying in Huai County for quite some time and doesn't want to waste too much time with these people.

Since he doesn't take action, I will force him to take action.

He looked at An Er and said coldly, "Spread the news that the pirates have been caught."

“Always put some pressure on them.”

"Otherwise, how long will it take to keep wasting time like this?"

He also wanted to take A'si to other places.

An Er immediately took the order and left.

On the second day, the whole Huai County knew that all the bandits had been caught. Some people didn't believe it, so An Er verified it on the spot.

He raised his chin with a proud look and said, "Don't disbelieve me, that pirate was caught by me and my brothers."

"I also received a reward of 100 taels of gold."

"If you don't believe me, you can go ask Lord Xue. He gave me the hundred taels of gold personally."

An Er looked very pleased with himself, then took a big gulp of wine.

Naturally, this matter reached Xue Yang's mouth, and soon people came to inquire about it.

Some people even questioned why Xue Yang didn't just execute the bandits publicly.

Xue Yang explained for a long time with a wry smile, basically saying that we had to wait for the process.

These were just to scare the ignorant people. An Er shouted in the crowd: "Don't worry, County Magistrate Xue is a good man."

"Let's wait and believe that within a few days, these pirates will be executed by Lord Xue."

"It was Lord Xue who gave me the gold personally that day."

An Er raised his eyebrows and looked at Xue Yang, his face full of pride: "Isn't it, Master Xue?"

"You said I was a hero!"

Xue Yang hated An Er. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said with a fake smile: "It is true."

"This warrior is a hero. He helped us catch the damn pirate."

"I am here, thank you again, warrior."

An Er smiled complacently and said, "Indeed, your government has been unable to catch those pirates for so long, but I caught them all in one go."

"You should thank me."

"If it weren't for me, I don't know how many people would have been harmed by those pirates!"

These words immediately resonated with the people.

Many people have been persecuted by pirates.

Some families even encountered pirates while traveling. They stole their money and women, and then threw the women back a few days later.

Naked and covered with scars.

It's so humiliating.

Some died, some lived but could not bear the humiliation and committed suicide.

Anyway, to the common people, these water bandits are full of evil.

Many people even knelt down in front of An Er, and one of them wiped his tears and said, "The warrior has no idea."

"My wife and daughter were captured by the pirates, and one of my legs was broken by them."

His voice was choked up: "My daughter is only fourteen years old, and those beasts didn't let her go."

"They raped my wife and daughter, and then dumped them on the shore."

"My daughter died on the spot, and my wife, unable to bear the humiliation, went home and drowned in a water tank."

"The water tank was only half an arm's depth, but she died."

The man wiped his tears, his eyes were already red, and he knocked his head heavily on the ground: "You are my benefactor."

"Those beasts deserve to die!"

An Er's eyes were a little dark. He raised his eyes to look at Xue Yang, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

As a senior official, is this how he treats his people?

Such a person is not worthy of being an official, let alone living!

When the others heard this, they were also deeply moved, and many of them had similar experiences to this man.

Some people’s family members were killed by the pirates and they didn’t even have a chance to come back!
