Zhao Lin said slowly.
Feng Siyuan's hands trembled.
At this moment he suddenly felt a little regretful.
Let Zhao Lin do a good job as the governor. Under the current circumstances, he will be promoted within a few years, and the position of governor will still be his.
Now, if I offend him, I may not be able to live until he is transferred.
The former officials were suddenly arrested for attending the trial and were extremely angry. They struggled desperately, but they became obedient after being kicked one by one by the yamen runners and soldiers.
"Your Excellency, it's unjust. We are all wronged."
"Sir, we absolutely have nothing to do with the bandits."
"Sir, we admit that we dismissed you to threaten you, but we would never do such a beastly thing."
These former officials cried out in tears.
They also realized that Zhao Lin was serious and really wanted to kill them.
"Quiet."
Zhao Lin slammed the gavel and everyone fell silent.
Zhao Lin said, "Let's continue with the story of the bandits. General Chen Qifeng led 6,000 soldiers to attack the bandits, but he didn't expect the bandits to number 20,000 and had set an ambush in advance, intending to ambush General Chen."
Everyone was shocked.
Zhao Lin didn't keep the suspense going, saying, "Fortunately, General Chen used his troops with great skill. He used a portion of his force to pretend to be the main force, drawing the rebels' attention. He then led the main force through a surprise attack from a small road, directly destroying the bandit's lair."
"In order to ambush General Chen, the bandits took away their main force, leaving behind only the old, weak, and sick. General Chen defeated them with a single blow and captured them all."
"General Chen has now occupied the bandit's lair and is currently in a standoff with them. I have already dispatched the main force of the Qingzhou Army to wipe out the bandits in one fell swoop and restore peace to the two provinces."
Zhao Lin said calmly, "Once we catch the bandit leaders and bring them here, we'll know who's colluding with them."
Not only were Feng Siyuan's hands shaking, but his legs were also starting to tremble.
He didn't expect that the Qingzhou army would be so swift. Not only did they easily circumvent the bandits' ambush, but they also went straight to Huanglong and occupied their lair.
He has been colluding with the Shenlong Army bandits for many years and has made them do many dirty jobs.
In order to distance himself from the matter, Ma Ershui even left Jiujiang Province and stationed in the neighboring Jiasha Province.
"It's hateful! In your last letter, you clearly stated that you already had tens of thousands of elite troops, enough to withstand the imperial court's 100,000-man army. How could you be so easily defeated by only 6,000 soldiers?"
Feng Siyuan secretly resented.
Not only did the Shenlong Army bandits have evidence of their collusion, but half of the money Feng Siyuan had made over the years was kept by the other party.
Now it's all gone.
Not only that, but you also have to make sure you don't expose yourself.
Feng Siyuan immediately stood up and said, "Sir, the bandits are quite far away. Wouldn't it be too time-consuming for the main force of the Qingzhou Army to go there? Why not ask the Governor of Jiangbei to dispatch troops there?"
Jiangbei Governor Xiong Hui and Feng Siyuan had a good relationship. They had done shameful things together, so Feng Siyuan wanted Xiong Hui to dispatch troops there. Even if he couldn't rescue the bandits, he could take the opportunity to create a loophole for them to escape.
"No need, they are here now." Zhao Lin said.
Feng Siyuan's heart skipped a beat.
His men were clearly keeping an eye on the Qingzhou army camp, but they didn't see any signs of the army withdrawing!
Does Zhao Lin have other soldiers?
Zhao Lin was too lazy to explain to him and said, "Everything will be clear once the bandit leader arrives. Dismiss!"
It doesn’t matter if Hou Ruguang doesn’t admit it. As long as Feng Siyuan is nailed to death, there is no need to worry about him not admitting it.
If checking from bottom to top doesn’t work, then check from top to bottom.
Pull out their roots first.
Because of one case, all the officials of the former governor's office were sent to jail.
When the news spread, the governors of various states were so frightened that they hurriedly came to express their loyalty to Zhao Lin.
Zhao Lin was very annoyed and asked Fu Wenqi to handle everything.
But before the Qingzhou army could send the bandit leader over, Liu Zhengyan, the Minister of Rites, arrived with his men.
