With every word An Er said, Ling Shuming's face became more panicked.

How could this person know these things?

How does he know so clearly? I have never told anyone!

To know it so clearly, you must have checked it out specially. More importantly, some things can't be found just by looking them up.

Not only rich, but also powerful!

These outsiders are not simple people!

Ling Shuming felt extremely regretful. If he had known this would happen, he would never have provoked them!

Not only Ling Shuming was panicking, but Xue Yang was the same.

He was unaware of the bead of sweat on his forehead.

His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at An Er intently.

There was only one thought in my mind: these people must not be provoked, or they should be killed immediately!

An Er raised his eyebrows and glanced at Ling Shuming: "Do you need me to explain it in more detail?"

"For example, which family have you harmed, or what shameful things have you done?"

After An Er finished speaking, Ling Shuming looked dejected. He knew that everything was over.

He cannot leave the government office today. The dignitaries may rescue him the first time, but if he goes in again, he will be killed to silence him!

He sat on the ground in a dejected manner. Xue Yang immediately changed his tone upon seeing him: "He is such a wicked person!"

"I trusted these people too much!"

"Someone, hurry up and take this evil thief down!"

Someone immediately took Ling Shuming away. Ling Shuming was in a daze and didn't even struggle.

All he could think about was that he was finished.

Unfortunately, there was still some money he had earned over the years hidden under a big tree on the right side of his residence that he had not spent yet.

He probably spent the money because he had no more karma. If he had known this, he would have squandered it earlier.

After Ling Shuming was taken away, He Yaozhi looked at Xue Yang with a cold face and said, "I heard that the bandits from Huai County were caught?"

Xue Yang lowered his head and quickly responded, "Indeed, he was caught a few days ago."

After he finished speaking, he saw He Yaozhi's face full of disapproval and said, "This is a great achievement, why don't you report it?"

"Those pirates have harmed so many people. Catching them is a great achievement."

Xue Yang's hands hidden in his sleeves trembled a little: "I was just about to report it."

He Yaozhi looked at him like this and suddenly snorted, "Are you going to report it, or do you want to keep it secret?"

Xue Yang shuddered all over, he raised his eyes and looked at He Yaozhi: "My Lord, you can't say such things carelessly."

"I just want to see if there are any missed pirates. I will catch them all and report them to you."

He Yaozhi looked at him with a half-smile: "There are indeed some omissions."

"Aren't you the one who's missing, Xue Yang?"

He Yaozhi smashed the stack of papers in his hand on Xue Yang's head fiercely: "Look for yourself what you have done in these years!"

"Xue Yang, as the father and mother of the people, you actually colluded with the pirates!"

"How can you face those people?"

Xue Yang's eyes suddenly widened and he picked up the letters on the ground at random. He only read two pages before his face became extremely ugly.

Xue Yang's eyes widened, he knelt on the ground and pulled He Yaozhi's clothes with both hands: "Sir, it's not like that."

"not like this."

"I didn't. I didn't collude with the pirates."

"Someone must have deliberately framed me."

"You can't believe their one-sided words!"

He Yaozhi didn't have any sympathy on his face. He looked down at Xue Yang and said, "One wrong step will lead to many wrong steps."

"God is watching you. Xue Yang, your good days are over."

"So many people were killed by the pirates. Even if they were still alive, they would not let you live like this!"

"Someone, take Xue Yang away!"

Those who used to be under Xue Yang's command now looked at each other and no one dared to move.

Finally, He Yaozhi asked coldly: "How come you are also in the same group with Xue Yang?"

"I can no longer order you around!"

After these words were spoken, the others did not hesitate any longer and stepped forward to take Xue Yang away.

If they don't take action now, they will be considered as accomplices of Xue Yang, and then they will be doomed!

They know what is more important and what is less important.

When Master Liu saw this scene, he seemed to have lost all his energy and spirit.

Just as he had guessed, this day finally arrived.

Fortunately, he had given instructions to his family a few days ago, so even if something happened to him, the people at home would not lack food and clothing.

After taking Xue Yang and the people related to him away, He Yaozhi turned to look at An Er. He whispered with lingering fear: "Sir, I really didn't expect Xue Yang to be so bold."

"I have also learned about Huai County in the past few years. Apart from the incident with the water bandits, he has an excellent reputation in Huai County."

"He is a good official in the eyes of the people."

"But I didn't expect that he was the one who did those pirates!"

"Don't worry, sir. I will definitely take good care of the matter in Huai County."

An Er nodded: "Then I'll trouble you, Master He."

When Xue Yang was taken to the cell, everyone was stunned, especially Wu Yong.

He stared at Xue Yang with his eyes wide open: "Sir, why are you here too?"

Xue Yang raised his eyes and looked at Wu Yong fiercely. At this moment, he wished he could tear Wu Yong to pieces.

If it weren’t for Wu Yong, how could his business have ended up in such a state after years of careful management?

Xue Yang's resentful look made Wu Yong feel cold in his heart. He immediately shut his mouth and dared not speak anymore.

The cell was silent, Xue Yang leaned against the wall as if he had lost his soul.

Ling Shuming is similar to him, except that Ling Shuming acts like this because he feels that he is doomed.

But Xue Yang was afraid that the secret from many years ago would be uncovered!

What was there that he didn't understand at this time? Those outsiders were not ordinary people at all.

Otherwise, how could they have investigated Ling Shuming's case so thoroughly and invited He Yaoshu over.

He has offended someone he shouldn't have offended.

If only he hadn't wanted to kill the Xu family that day.

In fact, he also had other opportunities. For example, when Wu Yong was arrested, he directly asked Wu Yong and others to plead guilty, and the matter would have been over.

I just didn’t expect it to end up like this!

It is true that one wrong step leads to every wrong step.

At this point, Xue Yang could no longer regret. He thought that the secret in his heart would soon be revealed.

In the evening, He Yaozhi hurried to pay a visit to Zhou Jingxuan.

He Yaozhi admired the famous regent so much that he bowed and said, "Your Majesty."

Zhou Jingxuan waved his hand and motioned He Yaozhi to sit down: "Master He, there is no need to be so polite."

He Yaozhi raised his hand and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead. He had jogged all the way here.

He was somewhat shocked by this incident. No one had discovered it for so many years!

He Yaozhi said slowly: "Sir, I discovered an important thing today."

Zhou Jingxuan raised his eyes to look at him, only to see He Yaozhi lowering his head and whispering, "The county magistrate Xue died a long time ago!"
