Hearing Lin Tongxi's words, Pang Ling couldn't help but sneer: "Closing the net? How ridiculous! Can't you catch our three families as fish? I'm afraid your small net can't catch us big fish!"
"Lin Tongxi, we are not vegetarians. Do you dare to arrest us at will? We three families also have experts!" Jin Guangyuan put on an arrogant look and clapped his hands. Several thugs he hired with a lot of money stood up.
"Haha, Master Lin, you want to arrest us without any evidence? I'm afraid this is against the law. We are all good citizens!" Tian Jingye was fearless. The newly recruited officials of the government had been bribed by their three families. With these corrupted officials around, they didn't have to worry about being arrested.
Hearing the word "good citizen", Lin Tongxi couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Good citizen? Hahahahahaha! These are really the funniest two words I've heard in Ruihe Town. Three evil gentry actually call themselves good citizens. It's really a huge joke!"
"Lin Tongxi! Don't tarnish our reputation! We usually do good deeds and donate money. How is that not what good citizens do?" Tian Jingye said angrily. You know, an old man like him cares most about his reputation, and he spends so much money to create a good image for himself.
"Really?" Lin Tongxi saw this and shouted out the other party's crimes one by one: "Pang Ling, the head of the Pang family, has repeatedly provided shelter to hooligans and bullies like Niu Chongtian and Ma Xunliu, allowing them to bully the people in the town and causing them great trouble! He also doted on his son Pang Shizhu too much and allowed him to rape women. Now this bully has finally been caught on the spot!"
"...Lin Tongxi, if you have something to say, let's talk nicely. If you have the guts, produce evidence! I have never acted as a protective umbrella for others. As for my son, I have disciplined him strictly. How could he harass a woman? That person must want to ruin the reputation of my Pang family!" Pang Ling roared at Lin Tongxi.
In fact, Pang Ling knew about the many bad things Pang Shizhu had done. He had put him in solitary confinement and sent people to follow him.
Unexpectedly, Pang Shizhu was a cunning kid who always escaped cleverly. In addition, his mother made excuses for him, so Pang Ling gradually gave up on managing him.
Whenever this kid did something wrong, Pang Ling had to step in and use his power and money to force him to reconcile.
But now, not only was this kid caught red-handed, he also made the matter public, which really brought shame to the Pang family.
"Then I do have evidence. Your men have confessed the truth." After Lin Tongxi finished speaking, he let several thugs in shackles come out.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this.
Pang Ling immediately guessed what had happened. These damn new officials took the money but didn't do their job!
"Niu Chongtian, Ma Xunliu, repeat everything you said before truthfully!" Lin Tongxi said sternly.
The originally strong Niu Chongtian was so hungry that he had no strength left. He really couldn't eat the food that was like chaff. In order to get a reduced sentence, he told the truth as instructed by Lin Tongxi.
The same thing happened to Ma Xunliu. He had just been living a luxurious prison life for a few days, but he didn't expect that the treatment in the cell would be reduced in the blink of an eye.
No one paid any attention to the police when they reported the incident. They even said that the Pang family had fallen on hard times and would no longer protect them.
A few days later, Ma Xunliu and Niu Chongtian lost their temper and confessed everything, even revealing some of Pang Shizhu's explosive information.
When talking about these explosive materials, many victims' families also stood up and pointed out Pang Shizhu's evil deeds.
The tied-up Pang Shizhu listened to the insults and lowered his head in shame.
He was a rich young man, but now he was tied to a pillar, shirtless, listening to others talking about the shameless things he had done.
"Haha! Lin Tongxi, you really used every possible means to frame my Pang family... Not only did you bribe these scumbags, but you also forged evidence! It seems that you can't explain it clearly with just words today." After Pang Ling finished speaking, he asked the housekeeper to hand him a long stick.
"Go!" After Pang Ling said this, everyone in the Pang family behind him followed suit.
Pang Ling launched a charge, trying to capture Lin Tongxi and thus shake the morale of the officers.
Seeing this, Yue Lingyun also stepped forward with a spear and blocked Pang Ling's attack.
Both sides are ninth-grade martial masters. Yue Lingyun is strong and powerful, while Pang Ling is experienced. Their moves are back and forth, and it is difficult to tell who will win.
"Tian Jingye, Jin Guangyuan, what are you doing! Come up and help!" Pang Ling shouted for help while facing the enemy.
The two people who were called were also sweating. Given the current situation, they were afraid that the Pang family would soon be at a disadvantage.
Should they be fence-sitters for once, or just sit back and wait and see what happens?
Just as he was thinking this, Lin Tongxi also took out a loud speaker to persuade the two families to surrender: "Two family heads, the Pang family is resisting the government. If you can help arrest them, I, Lin, will definitely reward you!"
Tian Jingye frowned. His original plan was to force them to surrender through economic means, but the current situation has turned into a siege of the government... Even if he wins, it will probably not end well.
Jin Guangyuan on the side asked about the strongest person he had recruited, and the latter said that the officers were weak and not a concern.
The Pang family has someone in the upper class, but Lin Tongxi only said that he was a small legal advisor, not the official mayor, but just an acting mayor.
Just kill him and then announce that it was Lin Tongxi who aroused public anger, which led to the tragedy in the yamen.
As long as this person dies, all the responsibility can be put on Lin Tongxi!
With this in mind, Jin Guangyuan decided to give it a try: "Everyone, come on, support Patriarch Pang!"
After he finished speaking, his four strongest bodyguards came forward. All four of them had the strength of a first-class warrior.
As long as he takes action, he can help the head of the Pang family turn the tide of the battle.
"Hehe! You are quite powerful. You and I are both ninth-grade martial masters. What a pity, as long as we join forces, you will definitely be defeated!" Pang Ling swung the long stick faster and faster, and every move was intended to take Yue Lingyun's life.
