"I know you're just going to walk away," Zhao Lin said jokingly, "so please give me some time and see for yourself why I dare to provoke the Xiong family."
Fu Wenqi just sighed.
He really couldn't figure out what Zhao Lin's confidence came from.
Prince?
Stop joking. If the Xiong family is willing to surrender to the prince, he will be the first to sell Zhao Lin out.
The same goes for Prince Yu.
As for Zhu Zhongyan, there is no need to think too much about it.
So no matter how hard Fu Wenqi tried, he couldn't figure out how Zhao Lin would deal with the Xiong family.
This is also the idea of Gong Qiubai, Su Yinghan and others.
Where does Zhao Lin get the confidence from?
Su Yinghan asked Su Di indirectly: "Cousin, we are family. You must tell me if the governor is sure."
Sudi said coldly: "If you are not sure, just run away, right?"
Su Yinghan said with a smile: "We are here to serve as officials, not to die."
Sudi snorted coldly: "If we don't share adversity, how can we share wealth? If you are afraid, leave now."
Su Yinghan quickly said, "I'm not afraid, but I have to think about the old and young at home. Look, I brought your sister-in-law and nephew here because I want to fight with the governor. It doesn't matter if I die, but I have to let them go first, right?"
Sudi's expression finally softened: "Don't worry, adults never do things without confidence."
Su Yinghan breathed a sigh of relief.
Regardless of whether I really believed it or not, I finally stopped asking.
"The Xiong family has started to take action."
That night, Fu Liqing said to Zhao Lin with worry, "They wrote to you saying that you harmed Xiong Hui and Xiong Guang, and they want to confront you on the spot. I guess His Majesty's decree for you to come to the capital will arrive soon."
At the beginning, in order to relieve Zhao Lin's worries, Fu Liqing took the initiative to train personnel, keep an eye on the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, and collect intelligence about the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
Later, Zhao Lin simply handed over the entire intelligence organization to Fu Liqing.
The person in charge of an intelligence organization is naturally the most trusted person.
Who else can Zhao Lin trust more than his wife?
Fu Liqing also worked very hard. In the past two years, he bribed a lot of people and had spies spread throughout the homes of high-ranking officials in the capital.
Although they are all low-level servants, as long as there is a start, things will definitely get better and better.
Now Fu Liqing's news is one step faster than the news that comes out in the open.
Zhao Lin nodded and said, "It seems that the Xiong family is going to take action."
Zhao Lin is in Jiujiang, and he is always protected by hundreds of personal guards, so it is difficult for the Xiong family to take action.
If he left Jiujiang and went to the capital, even if Zhao Lin brought a thousand people to protect him, the Xiong family would be able to take the opportunity to kill him.
A simple but effective tactic.
"What are you going to do?" Fu Liqing asked.
Zhao Lin said disdainfully, "The Xiong family has been so prosperous these past few years that they've forgotten I dared to provoke them, so how could they be afraid? If they want to kill me, it depends on whether they have the ability to do so."
"You want to take advantage of their own trick? But it's too dangerous." Fu Liqing said worriedly: "It's easy to dodge an open attack, but it's hard to guard against an arrow from the dark. Now that the Xiong family has taken action, it seems that it's not that simple."
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
"It's a pity that we were always keeping an eye on the capital and didn't send anyone to the northwest," Fu Liqing said with regret.
"It's okay. The capital is the most important thing." Zhao Lin smiled and comforted, "Don't worry. As I said before, if I dare to provoke them, I will be prepared. Unless the Xiong family mobilizes 200,000 Northwest Border troops, no matter how many of them come, they will die."
The next day, letters from Fu Chengwang and Li Xingye arrived.
The Crown Prince and Prince Yu also sent someone to deliver a letter.
What surprised Zhao Lin was that Miss Li Weibai also sent a letter.
Fu Chengwang and Li Xingye were questioning Zhao Lin about whether he was responsible for the deaths of Xiong Hui and Xiong Guang. If he was responsible, he should immediately surrender in Beijing.
The prince asked Zhao Lin what happened and why he offended the Xiong family.
Prince Yu told Zhao Lin that if he had any difficulties, he could come to him and he would deal with the Xiong family on Zhao Lin's behalf.
Li Weibai reminded Zhao Lin that the Xiong family was not simple, and if Zhao Lin was willing to be loyal to her, she could help Zhao Lin overcome this difficulty.
"Everyone has their own purpose."
Zhao Lin put down the letter and shook his head.
Sudi asked, "What are you going to do?"
Zhao Lin said: "Wait. Wait for the order from His Majesty."
See what Cheng** means.
If he wants to go to Beijing to defend himself, Song Huaian will have to bring people with him.
If it is something else, there are naturally other ways to deal with it.
"Zhu Zhongyan didn't send the letter." Su Di said.
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "Don't worry about him. He's a cunning old fox, and no matter what he does, he won't be so obvious. If there is an imperial decree, the person who delivers it should still be safe."
A few days later, the messenger arrived.
It’s safe after all.
"The Xiong family has complained to your Majesty, and your Majesty is very annoyed. However, the Xiong family controls 200,000 border troops in the northwest. If they are not careful, it will easily cause unrest in the country. So I hope you can return to the capital and argue with the Xiong family face to face." Anquan said.
Zhao Lin asked, "Is this what Eunuch Zhu meant?"
Anquan said: "Godfather doesn't want you to have too much trouble with the Xiong family."
Zhao Lin laughed and said, "I was the one who killed Xiong Hui and Xiong Guang."
"Oh, I'll kill him then." Anquan said casually, then suddenly reacted and his eyes widened: "What? Did you really do it?"
"Yes." Zhao Lin looked at Anquan sincerely: "So, do you think I should enter Beijing?"
Anquan was so anxious that he was spinning in circles: "Are you crazy? The Xiong family can't even touch their godfather, how dare you kill their people?"
Zhao Lin said calmly, "Don't worry about that. I just want to know who Eunuch Zhu will support when the Xiong family and I go head to head."
