Hearing this, Ye Moqing nodded in agreement: "I'm very happy to do so."
…
It was late at night and everyone had fallen asleep, even the servants on night patrol were drowsy.
"What are you hesitating about? They are ready to take action."
"Brother, Master Ye is in there. Do we really need to be so cruel? He was pretty nice to us before."
"Brother, he can't even protect himself. Let me tell you, the Patriarch has given the order. If we don't deal with him, we'll all be in big trouble!"
"Hey! What are you two doing? Come here quickly!"
"Got it, we're just taking a break, we'll be there soon!"
"Did you hear that? Go."
"All right."
A group of men in black took advantage of the night, climbed over the wall, and approached the guest room where the students were staying.
The leading man in black made a beheading gesture and gave the order to the other men in black to kill.
According to Lei Liquan, it would be best if this group of powerless scholars died, so that Lin Tongxi would have to hire the people arranged by their aristocratic families!
He just couldn't believe that Lin Chenxuan and Lin Tongxi would turn against him, a county magistrate, because of this group of people!
Even if he fell out with them, he could easily shift the blame onto his subordinates.
Once the plan was set, the men in black dispersed, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the sleeping students.
Two of the men in black tiptoed into Ye Moqing's room, intending to take out their weapons to end their lives.
Unexpectedly, Yue Lingyun opened his tiger eyes and suddenly stood up from the bed.
"You little thief! How dare you break into the Lin Mansion!" Yue Lingyun roared.
The man in black was almost frightened to death by Yue Lingyun's shout.
Where's the scholar you promised me? Why is he so strong?
Before the men in black could kneel down and beg for mercy, Yue Lingyun subdued the two thieves with his bare hands.
As an eighth-level martial arts master, he is more than capable of dealing with two third-grade warriors.
Ye Moqing also woke up. Unexpectedly, just as Yue Lingyun said, someone might come to cause trouble tonight.
At the same time, the men in black in other rooms were also subdued.
Lin Tongxi and others rushed over and interrogated the group of men in black.
When it comes to the question of who is the mastermind behind this, the group of men in black gave two answers, one is Ye Haokong and the other is Pan Yue.
Most of the answers mentioned Ye Haokong, and a few mentioned Pan Yue.
Lin Tongxi and others told Ye Moqing about the situation and asked him to analyze it.
"What? I thought that no matter how vicious my elder brother was, he would only kick me out of the house... I didn't expect that he actually wanted to kill me!" After hearing this, Ye Moqing was so angry that he gritted his teeth. His elder brother really didn't leave him any way to survive.
In that case, don’t blame Ye Moqing for being ruthless to him later!
Ye Moqing calmed down quickly after getting angry for a while.
"Wait, maybe things are not that simple... maybe there is a possibility of frame-up." Ye Moqing thought about it and decided to see for himself what these men in black looked like.
Unfortunately, some of them were servants of his Ye family.
"Fourth Young Master..." A servant recognized Ye Moqing. He was the servant who was struggling over whether to participate in the action.
"A Guang, I didn't expect you to kill me too." Ye Moqing's heart turned cold, and he was about to be disappointed with the entire Ye family.
"Fourth Young Master, please listen to my explanation... I don't want to participate... It was Pan Yue and the eldest young master's gang who forced me to do it!" The servant A Guang tried to explain.
Once upon a time, A Guang broke a bowl while washing dishes, which angered the housekeeper and he was beaten half to death.
If Ye Moqing had not come to his rescue, I'm afraid he would have lost his life at that time.
Later, A Guang worked hard, practiced secretly, and became a warrior, thus gaining a foothold in the Ye family.
He wanted to find an opportunity to repay Ye Moqing, but unexpectedly the master died, Ye Haokong became the head of the family, and drove Ye Moqing out.
"A Guang! Don't talk too much! Don't forget that our master is the head of the family!" another servant warned A Guang.
"Brother An, is it really okay to follow a master like this? I feel guilty. If I continue to follow him... maybe more wrong things will happen." A Guang made up his mind to abandon evil and join the good.
Ah An closed his eyes and gave up trying to persuade him. He decided to confess with his younger brother: "Okay, since you said so... let's tell him everything we know."
…
The next morning, Lei Liquan and others discovered that the men they had sent out had not returned yet!
Lei Liquan kept pacing in front of the county government office, wondering if this group of good-for-nothings had failed in their assassination attempt.
Just as he was thinking this, the situation that Lei Liquan least wanted to see occurred.
A group of men in black were being escorted over with Lin Tongxi and others, and the group of applicants with no background were still alive!
"Morning, Lord Lei." Lin Tongxi said with a smile, staring at Lei Liquan in a mean way.
"Haha... Good morning, Lord Lin. May I ask who these men in black are...?" Lei Liquan pretended not to know and prayed that these men in black did not betray him.
Lin Tongxi glanced behind him and said nonchalantly, "They sneaked in last night and seemed to want to assassinate the county magistrate. Unfortunately, their skills were too weak and we caught them red-handed."
"Well, the county magistrate has asked us to bring them here. We're going to have a public trial in front of the county government office to serve as a warning to others."
"Sir Lei shouldn't be busy, right? As the county magistrate, he should take the time to participate in this matter."
Lei Liquan was sweating profusely and was forced to say, "I happen to be free."
He really didn't expect that the two of them would raise the charge to the level of assassinating the county magistrate.
If this were really discovered... he would have no chance of getting his job as county magistrate anymore. Fortunately, he never showed up, so there is no evidence to prove that he was the one who ordered it.
If we really want to investigate, Pan Yue and Ye Moqing will be scapegoats.
But...what is the public trial that Lin Tongxi mentioned?
The officials of Ruihe Town set up a platform and placed three tables on each.
At Lin Tongxi's invitation, Lei Liquan sat in the seat on the left side of the center of the main table.
County lieutenant Lu Fengyu and others also came. The only person sitting at the main table was Chen Yunxuan.
At the same time, under Lin Tongxi's arrangement, the servants announced that the case of the assassination of the county magistrate would be publicly tried, attracting many people to come and watch.
After a while, Jiang Jiadao struck the iron gong and shouted, "The county magistrate has arrived!"
A group of officers followed Chen Yunxuan and escorted him to the stage.
Chen Yunxuan slammed the gavel down and said sternly, "Court open!"
