Chapter 248 No Need to Thank Me
"Old man."
Helped up by Elder Xiang, Xie Xun asked with a worried expression, "My daughter escaped from Dingchun Tower. Will there be any future trouble?"
Dingchunlou is owned by the Sun family. Although their daughter was rescued by the county magistrate, the Sun family is not an ordinary family and may not give the county magistrate face.
If the Sun family finds out about this, the consequences will likely be unbearable for their own family.
"There's no need to worry about this!"
Coming to his senses, Old Xiang shook his head and said, "The Sun family no longer exists!"
"What?!"
Xie Xun and Wu Yanzi were both stunned. The Sun family no longer existed. What did that mean?
"literal meaning!"
A hint of pleasure flashed in Old Xiang's eyes as he said, "The head of the Sun family has been killed by the county magistrate and Young Master Chen. The members of the Sun family were also wiped out by unknown thieves. The Sun family is now a ghost town, completely deserted!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Xun and Wu Yanzi exchanged a stunned glance!
What kind of powerful force was the Sun family? It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them the local tyrants of Ding'an County. Yet, Elder Xiang said that the Sun family had been wiped out, which was hard for the two of them to believe.
"Father-in-law!"
Wu Yanzi couldn't help but ask, "How powerful was the Sun family? How could they have been destroyed by Magistrate Li?"
Clearly, Wu Yanzi did not believe that the Sun family had been wiped out. The Sun family had existed in Ding'an County for over a century, and everyone in Taiping County knew how powerful and domineering they were. How could such a family have been wiped out?
Wu Yanzi had even already decided in her heart that since her daughter had escaped the den of demons, there was no way she could go back. Rather than letting her daughter go back, it would be better to...
They fled Ding'an County on their own!
Once they leave Ding'an County, they can escape the control of the Sun family and their family can live a peaceful life.
"it is true!"
Seeing her mother's disbelief, Xie Chunyu said, "Last night I saw with my own eyes that the head of the Sun family died outside the gate of Magistrate Li's mansion."
"This……"
Wu Yanzi and Xie Xun exchanged glances. Their daughter would never lie to them; even she had confirmed it, so they had no choice but to believe it!
only……
The two still couldn't believe that the enormous Sun family could be wiped out overnight!
"If you two don't believe me, you can go and see for yourselves at the Sun family's house!"
Old Master Xiang didn't bother to explain further and simply said, "Just take a look at the Sun family's residence and you'll know!"
After saying this, Mr. Xiang took his leave.
His current role is Li Qingyun's butler, so it's not advisable for him to stay outside for too long.
"Old man, let me see you off!"
Xie Xun personally saw Elder Xiang out of the house, then returned and looked at Xie Chunyu with a serious expression, saying, "Daughter, was the Sun family really wiped out?"
"Yes!"
Xie Chunyu said with certainty, "The head of the Sun family and the second young master of the Sun family died outside the residence of Magistrate Li. Last night, thieves broke into the Sun family and killed all the members of the Sun family. I saw and heard all of this with my own eyes and ears."
Upon hearing this, Xie Xun and Wu Yanzi exchanged a glance, and soon, a relieved smile appeared on their faces.
The destruction of the Sun family is definitely a good thing for us. It means that Xie Chunyu's escape from the Sun family will no longer be pursued by them, and we will no longer need to leave Ding'an County.
"I also learned something else."
Xie Chunyu added, "The thieves who forced our family to sell our land were sent by the Sun family!"
"Fuck him!"
Xie Xun couldn't help but curse, "The Sun family has committed countless evils; they truly deserve to die!"
Just now, Xie Xun had some sympathy for the many deaths in the Sun family, but now he had no sympathy left at all!
The Sun family has committed numerous evils and deserves this retribution!

Inside Li Qingyun's mansion.
Li Qingyun was no longer as dejected as before. At this moment, he looked energetic and was holding a cup of tea, enjoying it leisurely.
Below Li Qingyun sat Chen Dao, Xu Zhiwen, Chen Cheng, and Zhang He.
Looking at the radiant Li Qingyun, Xu Zhiwen couldn't help but smile and say, "Brother Li seems to be in a much better mood?"
"Once the mental illness is gone, the mood will naturally improve!"
Li Qingyun replied with a smile that his biggest worry was that the entire Ding'an County was controlled by the Sun family, leaving him with no power whatsoever. Now that the Sun family had been destroyed, his worry was naturally gone.
Of course, although the Sun family has been wiped out, there are still many members of the Sun family in the government office. Therefore, Li Qingyun still needs the help of Xu Zhiwen and Chen Dao.
Li Qingyun put down his teacup and said, "There's something I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Brother Li and young friend Chen with!"
"What's the matter?"
"Clean up the county government office!"
How to clean it?
"Those who obey will be kept, but those who disobey will require your help to send them to meet the King of Hell!"
Although Li Qingyun was a scholar, he was not a saint. He knew very well that although the Sun family had fallen, the clerks in the government office who had previously obeyed the Sun family might not be willing to listen to him.
Therefore... Li Qingyun did not intend to show any mercy. Those who were willing to obey could be spared their lives, but they would be dismissed.
But if they don't listen, then Chen Dao and Xu Zhiwen will have to send them to their deaths!
"Since Brother Li has invited me, I will certainly do my duty!"
Soon, Li Qingyun, Xu Zhiwen, and Chen Dao sprang into action. On one hand, they sent people to move the remaining supplies of the Sun family into Li Qingyun's mansion, and on the other hand, they went to the county government office to eliminate those disobedient clerks and constables!
Within two days, Chen Dao and Xu Zhiwen had completely purged all the clerks, constables, and police officers in the county government who had previously been affiliated with the Sun family.
At this point, the entire county government was completely under Li Qingyun's control!
Of course, having dealt with most of the clerks, Li Qingyun was now practically a commander without troops. But that didn't matter; these days, there was no shortage of people. All Li Qingyun needed to do was post notices recruiting clerks and constables, and he could quickly recruit a group of people willing to follow his orders.
Standing in the main hall of the county government office, Li Qingyun looked at the empty scene and turned to say, "Thank you very much, Brother Xu and young friend Chen. If it weren't for your help, I would probably have been burdened with the title of a county magistrate without any real power for the rest of my life!"
Why should we thank each other?
Xu Zhiwen said with a smile, "Without the Sun family's constraints, Brother Xu can now fully unleash his potential. I hope that when I come to Ding'an County next time, I will see a prosperous Ding'an County."
"sure!"
Li Qingyun laughed heartily, but then his smile faded, and he said with some disappointment, "Brother Xu and young friend Chen will be leaving tomorrow, won't they?"
"Yes."
A hint of reluctance flashed in Xu Zhiwen's eyes: "All good things must come to an end. My friend Chen and I have been staying in Ding'an County for many days, and it's time for us to go back!"
