Zhao Lin wouldn't be that stupid.
Chi Qiaoyu shook his head and decided to stop thinking about it since he couldn't figure it out.
Chi Qiaoyu asked, "Your Excellency suspects that Zhao Lin was responsible for the death of Governor Xiong's men?"
Xiong Guang came back to his senses and smiled, "No. Although Zhao Lin forced Big Brother to write letters colluding with Bei Di, it was precisely because of these letters that Zhao Lin would not harm Big Brother. It seems that Big Brother really fell ill on his own."
Chi Qiaoyu asked, "I wonder what you plan to do next? Will you take back the letters, or pretend you don't know?"
Xiong Guang's face darkened and he looked at Chi Qiaoyu.
Chi Qiaoyu smiled bitterly and said, "I was present when Governor Xiong wrote those letters, and Zhao Lin asked me to write a few as well."
"I see. This Zhao Lin is really too arrogant."
Xiong Guang shouted, "I will definitely get those letters back and return them to Master Chi."
"Thank you, Lord Xiong." Chi Qiaoyu quickly raised his teacup: "I'll offer you a cup of tea instead of wine. Those letters kept me awake at night. If you could get them back or destroy them, that would be great. But I don't know what you plan to do with them, Lord?"
Xiong Guang finished his tea and said, "This is evidence. Zhao Lin won't give it up easily. Master Chi, do you have any solutions?"
Chi Qiaoyu said, "Zhao Lin is always protected by the Qingzhou Army, so it's difficult to attack him. We might as well try to negotiate with him. Now that Governor Xiong is gone, those letters are of little use. We should be able to get them back for the right price."
Xiong Guang sneered, "He's just a beggar. My Xiong family can easily crush him, yet he still wants benefits? If he knows what's good for him, he'll just hand over the letter and kowtow and apologize at my brother's grave. Otherwise, my Xiong family will take action and make him regret coming into this world."
Chi Qiaoyu hurriedly said, "His father-in-law is the Minister of Rites, and his teacher is Lord Li, the prefect of Shengjing. Your Majesty values him very much, and the eunuch Zhu Zhongyan also has ties to him. Your Majesty, please do not act rashly."
Xiong Guang said disdainfully: "He is just a small-time sycophant, not worth mentioning."
Xiong Guang put down his teacup and said, "Sorry to bother you, Master Chi. I'll take my leave now."
After Xiong Guang left, Chi Qiaoyu pondered for a moment, wrote a letter and asked his confidant to quietly leave the city and give it to Zhao Lin.
"The Xiong family is tough and will not compromise?"
After reading Chi Qiaoyu's letter, Zhao Lin sighed and said, "The tree wants to be still, but the wind does not stop. I wanted to do my work in peace, but I didn't expect someone to keep disrupting me. Well, let the Xiong family disappear."
Thanks to his experience in his previous life, Zhao Lin deeply understood what it meant to cut the grass without removing the root, which would surely leave troubles in the future.
Just asking Xiong Hui to write a few letters brought revenge from the Xiong family.
If I let them know that it was me who killed Xiong Hui, wouldn't they fight to the death?
In that case, let the Xiong family die first.
"If I had known this, I wouldn't have let Huai'an come back so early." Zhao Lin said.
Song Huaian instigated the rebels to take action, which was very useful.
"This is easy, just leave it to me." Sudi volunteered.
There are many people in the Su family who do illegal work.
Every family has it.
The Xiong family also has it.
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "With Brother Su here, I can rest easy."
Sudi raised his chin: "Of course."
Xiong Guang came to the door soon.
"I've heard of your great name, Censor Xiong, for a long time. It's legendary." Zhao Lin said with a smile, "Please take a seat. Someone, bring the tea."
Xiong Guang sat down without any hesitation and said, "Master Zhao, you know why I came to see you. Stop talking nonsense and bring the things over. I will forgive you. Otherwise, my Xiong family will take action. Humph!"
Zhao Lin smiled softly and said, "I understand Sir Xiong's grief over the loss of his brother, so I don't mind your rude words. But if Sir Xiong thinks I, Zhao, am easy to bully, he's wrong."
Zhao Lin's face darkened and he said, "Xiong Guang, I'm giving you face because I respect you as the Chief Censor. The Xiong family? The Xiong family is nothing."
"Zhao Lin, you're looking for death!"
Xiong Guang slammed the table. "You're a lowly bastard who crawled out of a doghouse. You were lucky enough to hook up with Li Xingye and Fu Chengwang, and deceived His Majesty into making you a governor. Do you really think you have any ability? If you know what's good for you, quickly take out the things. I won't mind your rudeness, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
Zhao Lin sneered, "I'd like to see how you can be rude."
"Good! Very good!"
Xiong Guang laughed in anger. "Originally, I saw that you were quite capable at such a young age, so I wanted to support you. But now, it's over. Not only your position, but also your life. Within a month, I will destroy your family!"
Zhao Lin's face darkened and he said, "Come here, take him down."
Rush up immediately to meet the soldiers and capture Xiong Guang.
Xiong Guang was furious: "How dare you? I'm the Chief Censor, an official appointed by the imperial court. How dare you arrest me?"
"I have already killed the imperial envoy, so you, a Censor-in-Chief, are nothing. Arrest him and lock him up for half a year." Zhao Lin shouted.
Xiong Guang was shocked.
He forgot that.
There were two censors, one was arrested and the other was killed.
The one who was caught was severely criticized by the emperor, and the one who was killed had his bones rotten.
Not only did the instigator Zhao Lin escape unharmed, but he was also commended by the emperor and named a loyal minister.
Then it would not be a big deal if he killed himself, a Censor-in-Chief.
Xiong Guang was annoyed.
If I had known this, I wouldn't have taken the risk and at least brought more people with me.
Unlike now, the two followers were held down before they could even say a word.
"Master Zhao, calm down."
Xiong Guang quickly admitted his mistake: "I was overwhelmed with grief over my brother's passing, so I spoke nonsense. Please forgive me, Lord Zhao."
Zhao Lin sneered, "You two brothers are quite flexible. You apologized immediately. If apologies were useful, why would I still have so many soldiers?"
