It is said that he has always had the ambition to expand his territory. A few years ago, he launched a war to try to seize Xiangzhou, and Guangyang County was the first to be hit.
Through smuggling forces, County Magistrate Lei is likely to be able to contact Yu Xianluo.
If Lei Liquan had any rebellious intentions, he might have joined forces with that side to attack Guangyang County!
Thinking of this, Lin Tongxi's hands began to tremble.
If Yu Xianluo had only unilaterally started the war, then Lin Tongxi and the others could still have fought.
But war is never that simple. If Lei Liquan leads the gentry and bandits to rebel, the entire Guangyang County will be in trouble.
The more Lin Tongxi thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he immediately expressed his thoughts.
When these words came out, others took a deep breath.
During these three months, County Magistrate Lei's actions have indeed become much more low-key. He mostly supports Chen Yunxuan in political affairs, lives a frugal life, and even abandons Lei Yangyuan, whom he has always doted on, to the reformatory.
Just as everyone was carefully considering the probability of Lei Liquan's rebellion, the housekeeper Old Wu knocked on the door, interrupting their thoughts.
"Master and Miss, it's me, Old Wu." A familiar voice came from outside the door.
"Come in!" Lin Tongxi shouted.
Old Wu opened the door and announced that someone wanted to see him. "Master and Madam, County Lieutenant Lu Fengyu wants to see you. He said he has an urgent matter to report."
It seems there must be something important to report!
After getting permission to enter, County Captain Lu and his confidants ran into the mansion breathlessly and met Chen Yunxuan and others in the corridor.
"County Captain Lu, what happened?" Chen Yunxuan went straight to the point. He knew that he shouldn't talk too much nonsense at this time.
After Lu Fengyu took several breaths, his heartbeat calmed down, and then he leaned close to Chen Yunxuan's ear and whispered something.
After he finished speaking, he handed another letter to Chen Yunxuan, on which was written the handwriting of County Magistrate Lei!
After reading the letter, Chen Yunxuan's expression became even more serious. After thinking for a moment, he made a decision: "Okay, you start to get people prepared. This matter is of great importance and must not be leaked!"
After saying that, Chen Yunxuan returned the letter to Lu Fengyu.
"Yes! I obey your command!" County Lieutenant Lu did not hesitate at all. After receiving the order, he trotted out of the Lin Mansion.
Seeing Chen Yunxuan showing such a strange expression for the first time, Lin Tongxi quickly asked about the situation.
"Let's talk about it when we get back." Chen Yunxuan tried to calm down.
The six people returned to the room, and Chen Yunxuan told them what had just happened.
Based on the letters, it can be judged that County Magistrate Lei was indeed in collusion with the bandits, and both sides were planning a common goal.
For this purpose, they had to meet up in Lingyi Township one day in advance.
If there was only this letter, Chen Yunxuan would not believe it.
The key point is that County Lieutenant Lu's men discovered that the Lei Mansion was packing up in a hurry.
When his subordinates asked, they found out that County Magistrate Lei was rushing back to the countryside the next day.
Just this afternoon, County Magistrate Lei even asked Chen Yunxuan for a week's leave for this purpose.
The original date is the day after tomorrow. It should be no big deal if it’s a day or two late, unless the matter is particularly important!
Moreover, the scale of Lei Liquan's return to the countryside was not small.
Chen Yunxuan had to suspect Lei Liquan, and immediately agreed to Lu Fengyu's request to prepare the team to prepare for the bandit suppression the next day.
The best outcome is that Lei Liquan has no second thoughts, and then he will say that he led the team to inspect various villages.
If there were, Chen Yunxuan could lead his men to capture Lei Liquan and the bandit leader immediately!
After hearing this, the other five people also agreed with Chen Yunxuan's idea.
However, who will participate in the bandit suppression has become a big problem.
Needless to say, Chen Yunxuan must personally command the front line for such a major event to avoid excessive lag in intelligence.
As the spirit of the system, Lin Tongxi was not very happy to go out accidentally, but the host had already gone. If something went wrong, his life would be gone as well.
Considering this, Lin Tongxi still chose to be with Chen Yunxuan.
"Brother Tongxi, Brother Chenxuan, I want to go!" Xiaojiu has been practicing martial arts for a long time, and now he finally has the opportunity to put it to use, so he is naturally eager to try.
Hearing that Xiaojiu wanted to go, Chen Yunxuan immediately retorted: "No, it's too dangerous. You are young and not strong enough."
After Xiaojiu's request was rejected, he lowered his head in disappointment.
"You still need to pay attention to the intelligence from the school. We can't do it without you." Lin Tongxi walked over and patted Xiaojiu on the head.
"There's Xiaoqing!" Xiaojiu immediately gave a candidate.
"Xiaoqing is not as smart as you, so he is not suitable to succeed you. Besides, he is a servant, and a servant should follow the young master." Lin Tongxi explained earnestly.
"Okay." Xiaojiu had to give up.
Just after persuading one person, Lin Tongxi had another person to persuade.
Su Ruoxue at the side then asked: "Then I should be able to go, right? I can help with the treatment."
Somehow, Lin Tongxi subconsciously worried about Su Ruoxue's safety and denied the other party's request: "No, this time is different from the last time at Tiger Roar Village."
"Several bandit leaders will gather there, and their strength is unknown."
"In order to avoid alerting the enemy, we can't bring too many people, but too few people would be too dangerous."
Su Ruoxue sighed: "It would be dangerous if only the two of you went."
"I'm worried about you!" Lin Tongxi replied.
"Then I'm also worried about you and Chenxuan." Su Ruoxue responded.
At this moment, Chen Yunxuan stepped forward and mediated the conflict between the two: "Okay, why not listen to my thoughts first."
"This time, only Lei Liquan went to meet with the bandit leader. He belongs to a small group and is just a small leader."
"The gentry in Guangyang County are still the main force. If they start a disturbance, Brother Tongxi and I won't be able to get back in time to deal with it."
"You must know that if three county officials leave together, it will be easy for them to become unstable."
"Therefore, we must retain enough strength to subdue the gentry."
At this moment, Lin Tongxi also echoed: "Brother Chenxuan is right, everyone's position is important.
"Brother Chenxuan and I will go out, and Ruoxue will stay at the Lin Mansion to coordinate.
"Mo Qing will be in charge of the county government, Brother Yue will be in charge of contacting the martial arts school, and Xiao Jiu will stay in the school to obtain intelligence."
"Well, I agree."
"Okay, then you two be careful. I'll prepare something for you later, and you need to take it with you."
"Yue will follow the instructions."
"Then I'll stay in the academy."
"As the chief clerk, I am the only one who is most suitable to stay in the government."
After deciding on the division of labor, the six people left the meeting room.
A night passed and no one could sleep.
The situation in Guangyang County... is about to undergo drastic changes!
