He came to Zhao Lin specifically to test him.
"Xiong Hui is having a stroke?"
Zhao Lin chuckled and said, "As expected, don't do bad things. Isn't this retribution?"
Chi Qiaoyu could only smile apologetically: "Master Zhao is right. Xiong Hui has done so many evil things, and he deserves this fate. It's just..."
Chi Qiaoyu hesitated to speak.
Zhao Lin asked, "Just what? Lord Chi, just tell me."
Chi Qiaoyu sighed, "He was the governor after all, and he died like that. Not only the Xiong family is suspicious, but the court is also suspicious. I heard that both the court and the Xiong family sent people to investigate the cause of Lord Xiong's death."
Zhao Lin sneered: "The Xiong family is really not afraid of losing face, then go investigate. Could it be that someone else is to blame?"
Chi Qiaoyu observed Zhao Lin carefully, and seeing that there was nothing unusual about Zhao Lin, he couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Could it really not be Zhao Lin who did it?
But then again, Xiong Hui is already in his forties and he often plays with women. Even if he is in the best health, it is normal that he would have an erection soon.
Thinking of this, Chi Qiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Master Zhao is right. Xiong Hui fell ill on his own and cannot be blamed on anyone else. However, Master and Xiong Hui had a conflict some time ago, so it's easy for him to be blamed."
Zhao Lin said calmly, "If the Xiong family doesn't provoke me, that's fine. But if they dare to provoke me, Lord Chi will burn some incense for Xiong Hui on my way back. Tell him to take care on the road to the underworld and wait for his family."
Chi Qiaoyu's heart skipped a beat and he began to doubt again.
The main reason is that Zhao Lin is too calm, which makes him look like it but also looks unlike it.
Zhao Lin said, "A few days ago, my family and I were spied on by someone of unknown origin. Fortunately, the guards were very capable, so nothing happened."
Chi Qiaoyu's expression changed: "Do you suspect Xiong Hui did it?"
Zhao Lin said leisurely: "Anyway, I am him, he must find a way to kill me and get those letters back."
Chi Qiaoyu thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Master Zhao, please give me some advice on what I should do next."
Zhao Lin said with a smile: "You and I are from different provinces, and I am not Mr. Chi's superior. How can I guide you?"
Chi Qiaoyu smiled bitterly and said, "Master Zhao, please stop joking. If the Xiong family investigates the recent conflict between you and Xiong Hui, they will definitely ask me. I wonder how I should answer."
Zhao Lin said: "Just answer truthfully."
"Answer truthfully?" Chi Qiaoyu widened his eyes.
Zhao Lin said, "If the Xiong family were smart, they would know that even if Xiong Hui died, those letters would still be useful."
Chi Qiaoyu nodded involuntarily.
Although Xiong Hui is dead, his handwritten letters are still there. If Zhao Lin takes them out, the Xiong family will have to pay the price.
Compared to fighting to the death with Zhao Lin, it would be better to just keep quiet and pretend nothing happened.
"What if they are afraid of these letters and want to take them back?" Chi Qiaoyu asked.
"Then name a price. As long as the price is right, it doesn't matter if you give it all to them. Xiong Hui is dead anyway, and I have no conflicts with other people in the Xiong family." Zhao Lin said.
Zhao Lin then added, "Of course, if they're unwilling to pay and insist on taking action, I'll also take over. It all depends on whether the Xiong family is tough enough."
"I understand." Chi Qiaoyu said.
If the Xiong family wants to fight, then let’s fight.
If the Xiong family wants peace, then let’s make peace.
Zhao Lin doesn't care.
Chi Qiaoyu was very envious.
Be like Zhao Lin.
This is what comfort is.
Chi Qiaoyu returned to Liangzhou City.
Sure enough, people from the Xiong family came to see him.
"My name is Xiong Guang, and I'm Xiong Hui's younger brother."
Xiong Guang introduced himself: "My brother passed away suddenly. My family has some suspicions, so they asked me to come and ask Master Chi about it. If I have offended you, please forgive me."
The words were polite, but the tone was not very polite.
Chi Qiaoyu laughed at himself secretly.
After all, they are a big family, and even a governor like him is looked down upon by others.
Chi Qiaoyu also has people behind him. Anyone who can become a governor has people behind him, but these people also come in different levels of strength.
Obviously, the people behind Chi Qiaoyu are not as good as the Xiong family.
Chi Qiaoyu forced a smile and said, "So it's Censor Xiong. I've heard a lot about you. Feel free to ask me anything. I'll tell you everything I know."
Xiong Guang was very satisfied with Chi Qiaoyu's attitude and said, "I heard that my brother had a conflict with Zhao Lin before he passed away?"
Chi Qiaoyu nodded and said, "Yes. Zhao Lin was disrespectful to his superiors. He had been in office for several months but had not come to see Governor Xiong. The Governor was very angry and sent someone to tell Zhao Lin to come. But Zhao Lin came with 30,000 Qingzhou troops and pretended to attack the city, which made the Governor very angry."
Xiong Guang said: "What happened next?"
Chi Qiaoyu was silent for a moment, then said, "Zhao Lin threatened to kill the Governor-General. The Governor-General had no choice but to follow Zhao Lin's request and write several letters to communicate secretly with Beidi."
"What?" Xiong Guang was surprised.
Chi Qiaoyu said, "The Governor-General had no choice. By then, Zhao Lin's troops had already entered the city and controlled the city defenses, the Liangzhou government office, my office as the governor, and the Governor-General's Office. Everything in Liangzhou City was under Zhao Lin's control. Zhao Lin even threatened the Governor-General's family, forcing the Governor-General to write."
Xiong Guang's face was gloomy: "And then?"
Chi Qiaoyu said, "Then Zhao Lin left. He left at night, without even staying overnight. The Governor was very angry and said he would find a way to get the letters back, but I don't know what happened after that."
Xiong Guang muttered to himself: "No wonder my eldest brother asked for some people from home a few days ago, but didn't say what they were doing. It turns out they are here."
Chi Qiaoyu suddenly understood.
In order to get the letters back, Xiong Hui sent people to steal or assassinate Zhao Lin.
Zhao Lin was so angry that he killed Xiong Hui without hesitation.
But then again, Zhao Lin had something on Xiong Hui, so it would be better to use it to threaten him than to kill him.
