Xiong Hui picked up the pen, sighed, and wrote a letter of surrender to the Beidi royal family as Zhao Lin had instructed.
By the way, he also fabricated several reply letters from the Beidi royal family.
Xiong Hui's hands were shaking as he held the pen.
Once these letters are exposed, the entire Xiong family will suffer a devastating disaster.
But there's nothing I can do.
If you don’t write, you will die immediately.
Xiong Hui doesn't want to die.
The higher the position, the more afraid of death they are, because they enjoy benefits that ordinary people cannot enjoy in ten lifetimes, so naturally they are unwilling to give them up.
By the time he finished writing, Xiong Hui's clothes were soaked.
Zhao Lin carefully put away the letters and said, "Master Chi, what about you?"
Chi Qiaoyu smiled bitterly: "What does the Lord want?"
Chi Qiaoyu wrote a letter agreeing with Xiong Hui in surrendering to Beidi, and signed and stamped his name on it.
Zhao Lin was finally satisfied and said, "General Su, have the soldiers withdraw from the city for the time being and tell the people that it was a misunderstanding."
"Yes, sir."
Sudi led the Qingzhou army out of the city, but left a team of 100 people to guard Zhao Lin.
A storm comes and goes quickly.
Xiong Hui was in no mood to talk any more with Zhao Lin, and Zhao Lin was too lazy to waste time with them. After telling them what to do next, he left without even making it through the night.
Watching the Qingzhou army leave, Xiong Hui and Chi Qiaoyu remained silent.
After a long while, Chi Qiaoyu said, "Sir, what should we do?"
Xiong Hui sighed, "What else can we do? Our lives and fortunes are in his hands. If those letters get out..."
Xiong Hui didn't say anything else, but Chi Qiaoyu knew what he was going to say.
Once their treason is exposed, the consequences that await them will be unimaginable.
As for whether the higher-ups will investigate thoroughly and clear their name, don’t even think about it.
Who would believe that it was Zhao Lin who forced him to do that?
Why does Zhao Lin force you and not others?
What good does he get from forcing you?
In short, the lives and property of both of them were in Zhao Lin's hands.
Chi Qiaoyu left with a sigh. Xiong Hui returned to the Governor's Mansion, grabbed the tea brought by the maid and threw it to the ground.
With a snap, the fine white porcelain teacup shattered into pieces. The maid was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and dared not look up.
"Get out! Everyone, get out!"
Xiong Hui said angrily.
The maids and servants hurriedly retreated.
Xiong Hui was so angry that he smashed everything he grabbed. After smashing everything in the study to pieces, he angrily said, "Call Tian Zhipeng and the others."
Soon, Tian Zhipeng and his staff arrived one after another.
"My lord, what are your orders?"
Looking at the smashed study, these people didn't dare to say anything and asked carefully.
Xiong Hui said, "I want Zhao Lin dead! Find a way immediately. I want Zhao Lin dead! I want him dead now!"
Tian Zhipeng said carefully, "There are only two ways to kill Zhao Lin. One is to fabricate a crime, and the other is to do it privately."
Xiong Hui said: "Do it privately."
Tian Zhipeng said: "That is assassination."
Xiong Hui took a deep breath and said, "Arrange it. Zhao Lin must be dead within a month!"
"Yes, sir!"
The staff members responded in unison.
They were also infuriated by Zhao Lin's arrogance.
As a subordinate, isn't it my duty to come and pay my respects to my superior?
Isn’t it right to give gifts to your superiors?
Why is Zhao Lin like a mad dog, biting at the first touch?
"You are too risky and reckless."
Fu Wenqi was so angry that he ignored Zhao Lin's pride and accused him, "How dare you let the troops attack the city? Ah? You are rebelling, you are rebelling."
Zhao Lin laughed and said, "Isn't this a no-attack situation?"
Fu Wenqi said angrily, "If they don't let us into the city, will you attack?"
"right."
Zhao Lin said frankly, "Xiong Hui has bad intentions, so I can't just sit there and wait for death."
Fu Wenqi said earnestly, "You can go to Father, you can go to Lord Li, anything is fine, why do you have to mobilize the army?"
Zhao Lin said, "Because I don't have time to waste with him. Big Brother knows more about officialdom than I do. If he wants, he can just hang around for months or even years. But I don't have that kind of time, so I have to deal with it all at once."
Fu Wenqi rubbed his forehead. "You're solving this? You're escalating it. Xiong Hui has only been quiet for now, but he won't give up."
Zhao Lin said: "He doesn't dare to do it openly, so he can only act secretly. But he plays dirty tricks on me, haha."
Zhao Lin chuckled twice.
It's not that I look down on Xiong Hui, he really doesn't deserve it.
Fu Wenqi said helplessly, "You're only eighteen this year, not even an adult yet, and you're already a governor. What's there to be anxious about? You should calm down and take your time as governor, at least for three to five years, until you're familiar with the job, and then think about moving up."
Fu Wenqi almost pleaded, "You can't be too aggressive as an official, otherwise you'll easily be caught by others."
Zhao Lin said: "I know what Big Brother means, but you don't understand. You don't understand me."
Fu Wenqi said angrily, "Who understands you? Let him tell me."
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "Well, there are so many things going on in the province, isn't Big Brother busy enough?"
Fu Wenqi was about to persuade him again, but Zhao Lin said, "Don't worry, big brother. I'm not a reckless person. I know what I'm doing."
Fu Wenqi sighed and said, "I can't convince you. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have come here, so I wouldn't have to worry all day. With someone like you, it wouldn't be surprising if you really started a rebellion one day."
Zhao Lin laughed loudly: "Brother, don't talk nonsense, or you'll lose your head."
"Humph, you also know that you will lose your head?" Fu Wenqi said angrily: "Look at all the things you have done, which one does not cost you your head? Fortunately, Your Majesty is a wise ruler, otherwise you would have been beheaded long ago."
Fu Wenqi said earnestly, "Even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about Qing'er and Zhiyi, right?"
