In the next few days, the atmosphere in the Ling Family was not relaxing at all, because in succession, several of the servants working inside were sent away. Although they had all received a sum of silver before they left, leaving the Ling Family was equivalent to not having a good meal. Who can be happy?

Of course, there were also one or two who did not receive the silver and even had their legs broken and were thrown into the government prison.

Ling Family's swift and decisive actions could not be concealed from the people who wanted to pay attention to their movements. When the servants of the Jia family returned to the manor, they told Jia Yin everything that they had learned in the past few days.

"One of the people who had his leg broken and was sent to the prison was someone we arranged for a year ago. Originally, he was close to gaining Ling Zhaowen's trust and after a while, he would be able to directly come into contact with Ling Zhaowen and enter his study to serve him. Contrary to the expectation, he was captured at this time and was directly sent to the prison." The servant that came back to report said.

Jia Yin's face was ashen, "Did that person confess anything?"

The servant nervously wiped the sweat off his forehead and answered: "There's no news right now. Tao Yi and Ling Zhaowen are both watching closely at the government prison, there's no way for our people to enter."

Jia Yin clenched his fists tightly and smashed his fist onto the table, "Ling Zhaowen, this ignoramus, his action is pretty fast! Ask the Second Master to come, and let him think of a way to visit Ling Er in the prison. At the same time, let him probe out the words of the person who was imprisoned. "

"Yes sir!" The servant immediately responded and hurriedly went out to look for Second Master.

...

In the Ling Family, the tensest atmosphere was in Ling Zhang's courtyard.

This time, nearly half of the people that were swept out were in Ling Zhang's courtyard. It was not that there was a problem with all those people, but those people did not reach Ling Zhang's criteria after a few days of observation, and had benn given silver and swept out.

The remaining servants all tensed up.

"Young Master, as we send out so many people, should we bring in some new ones?" Xia Feng asked Ling Zhang.

"Don't worry, this courtyard isn't that big. We don't need so many people here, and we still need to keep an eye on the rest of them for a while." Ling Zhang replied leisurely.

Xia Feng was startled, was he still going to continue cleaning up servants?

"Quality should be placed above quantity." Ling Zhang said.

After saying this, Ling Zhang no longer said anything else and asked, "Has Second Uncle returned?"

Xia Feng replied: "I have already sent people to wait at the front door. As they haven't come back to report, he probably hasn’t been back yet."

Ling Zhang wanted to know if the officials escorting Jia Yuanling to the hundred border area had been confirmed, and wether his Second Uncle had made proper preparations or not. Moreover, did the butler and others who went to the capital successfully arrive? Not knowing why, he still felt a little uneasy in heart, feeling that it wouldn't be so easy to send the marriage annulment certificate to the capital.

Pfft, I must have been thinking too much. Ling Zhang spat at himself in his heart.

“Opps...” He was so absorbed in thinking that he moved with the sore parts of his body without paying attention. These past few days, he had been training with Wang Dashan every morning. Wang Dashan said that it was no hurry to teach him basic martial arts, and let him exercise his muscles and bones first, so he only bringing him to run circles and stretch his muscles every morning. And every single time, he all persevered for an hour. Even though he had wiped the medicinal oil every time he came back, the pain was still extremely severe. If he accidentally touched, he could grimace with pain.

However, the more painful it was, the better it was. This proved that he was alive, and the more convinced he was alive agian. Only in this way can he feel more relaxed and strong-willed in heart.

Moreover, after observing the situation of the guards for the past few days, he came up with a plan.
