Xiong Hui said angrily: "Do you think others will believe it?"
Zhao Lin said disapprovingly, "Whether others believe it or not is irrelevant, as long as His Majesty believes it. By the way, not only did you collude with the rebels, you also hid the dragon robe in your mansion and attempted to rebel."
Xiong Hui was furious: "You are slandering me."
"I am slandering you, what else?"
Zhao Lin smiled and said to Chi Qiaoyu, "Send someone to call my guards."
Chi Qiaoyu looked at Zhao Lin, finally sighed, gave an order, and soon the twenty guards came over.
Zhao Lin ordered, "Go tell Lord Su that Jiangbei Governor Xiong Hui has been apprehended for treason. Tell him to lead his troops into the city immediately to protect the people of Liangzhou and reassure them. If the guards disagree..."
Zhao Lin said sternly: "Attack the city immediately!"
"Yes, sir!"
Two guards immediately rushed out to report the news.
"Absolutely not. Absolutely not."
Chi Qiaoyu practically begged, "The army entering the city, how is this any different from treason? Lord Zhao, General Zhao, listen to my advice. If the army doesn't enter the city, there's still room for maneuver. But once they do, it will be difficult to turn back."
Zhao Lin said calmly, "I never turn back, and I have no way to retreat. Whoever stands in my way will be killed."
Zhao Lin had a blank expression on his face. "I was abandoned by my family. I fought my way up from an orphan to where I am today, relying on my own determination. If anyone wants my life, I'll take his first."
Chi Qiaoyu sat down on the chair and looked at Xiong Hui angrily.
If he hadn't been nosy, wouldn't this be the case?
No matter what the outcome of this matter is, Chi Qiaoyu will be reprimanded or even dismissed from office.
A hint of fear also arose in Xiong Hui's heart.
Zhao Lin really wanted to kill.
No, Zhao Lin really wanted to kill him.
The army entered the city, to put it nicely, it was entering the city to pacify the people, to put it bluntly, it was attacking the city.
This is treason!
Who dares to do this?
But Zhao Lin did it.
I was just threatening him and wanted some benefits.
Time passes by little by little.
"My lord, my lord."
Someone rushed in in a panic and said, "Sir, the Qingzhou army is trying to enter the city and has threatened to attack it immediately if we are not allowed in. Now there is chaos outside. Why... Sir?"
The sound stopped abruptly.
Only then did the man notice the sword across Xiong Hui's neck.
It was not until this time that Xiong Hui and Chi Qiaoyu realized that Zhao Lin was not trying to scare them.
He is so brave!
Once the Qingzhou army attacks the city, Zhao Lin will not be able to escape the charge of treason and will be dragged out and beheaded sooner or later.
But before that, how many of you here can survive?
This person dealt with all the officials in the Jiujiang Governor's Office.
"Zhao Lin."
Xiong Hui's voice was dry: "I'm just joking with you, don't be impulsive."
He finally gave in.
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "I'm not impulsive. If you hadn't bothered me, I wouldn't have bothered with you. I'd have given you everything I need during the holidays. But you dared to provoke me, and I'm going to kill you. It doesn't matter if I'm impulsive or not. If I want to live, you have to die!"
Xiong Hui opened his mouth and finally said, "This Governor... I don't want to kill you. I just want to teach you a lesson and ask for your help. How about I apologize to you?"
Once the army enters the city, Zhao Lin will not have a good ending, and the outcome for him as the governor will not be much better either.
There are only fourteen governors in Daqi, and even fewer governors-general. I wonder how many people are watching them.
If they knew that Xiong Hui forced Zhao Lin's army into the city for the sake of benefits, those imperial censors would have skinned him alive.
Xiong Hui could only lower his posture and apologize.
“It’s too late!”
Zhao Lin sighed, "When you first said that, I could have enjoyed a drink with you and shared the good things. But now we've resorted to violence. If I let you go today, you could seek revenge tomorrow, and I'd have no chance, wouldn't that be the case?"
"I would never dare to retaliate." Xiong Hui swore hastily, "I've seen Lord Zhao's abilities. Thirty thousand Qingzhou troops can defeat a hundred thousand. How dare I retaliate against you?"
Once the troops withdraw and I am safe, I will make sure your whole family dies miserably!
Xiong Hui was furious.
"You really don't dare?" Zhao Lin asked.
"I dare not, absolutely not." Xiong Hui nodded repeatedly.
Zhao Lin pondered and said, "If you don't dare to retaliate, I can let you go."
Chi Qiaoyu quickly said, "Master Xiong always keeps his word. He said he would not retaliate, and he definitely won't."
"Really? What if he just tricked me into withdrawing my troops and then took revenge on me?" Zhao Lin still didn't believe it.
