Chapter 279: Soldiers in Control of a County

"I escaped this time, and I didn't bring anything else, so I brought some evidence of Yao Qile's collaboration with the enemy. However, on the way to Sandao County, many of them were also lost. But after all, there are still some, during this time in Sandao County, I also re-transcribed what I knew, these evidences have been lost, but as long as someone checks, they can still find out Yao Qile's problem. Hao Feng said.

"That's right. Lin Xiqi pondered for a moment and said, "If you really decide, then I will try my best to do it." ”

"Then thank you, Lord Lin. Hao Feng bowed solemnly to Lin Xiqi and said, "This can be regarded as my life amulet, at least until I hand over this evidence, Yao Qile may not take my life." ”

"It's hard to say, it's very likely that he will do whatever it takes. Lin Xiqi said.

"Hehe, he really wanted to get rid of me all these years, but unfortunately, he was jealous in his heart, relying on the evidence in my hand. Hao Feng laughed.

"Yao Qile already knew that you had some evidence of his crimes?" asked Lin Xiqi.

"You know, he wanted to do it to me at that time, and I used these threats to threaten him, so that I can live until now. He's been fighting for the evidence, so he doesn't want to kill me before he gets the evidence money, he's afraid of making a big deal out of it. Although Yao Qile has backers behind him, the major forces in the capital are vying for power and profit, and they are also greedy for some control of the border. Yao Qile's position is also popular with many people, if he makes any moves, it is very likely that he will be attacked by the opponents in the capital. Hao Feng said.

Lin Xiqi nodded, those princes in the capital paid attention to some situations on the border, not for the sake of the people on the border.

They just want to earn more gold and silver through the advantages of the border and the Western Regions, or even trade with the Houyuan, so the position of a county guard like Yao Qile is still very important.

Yao Qile is also very aware of this, and he is also very cautious and does not want to give his opponent any handle.

That's why he can endure Hao Feng's existence and never kill him.

"Lord Lin, here is some evidence and what Yao Qile has done over the years. As he spoke, Hao Feng took out a book from his arms and handed it to Lin Xiqi.

After Lin Xiqi took it, he looked at it.

As he watched page by page, Lin Xiqi's face became more and more ugly.

The above incriminating evidence can be described as shocking.

During Yao Qile's tenure as the county guard, there were many secret transactions between him and Hou Yuan.

Most of the swords, iron, and grain he sent to the Later Yuan were military supplies that the imperial court had expressly forbidden to trade with the Later Yuan.

After obtaining this, Hou Yuan used the sword to invade the borders of Great Xia and slaughter the people on the border.

According to the law of Great Xia, the crime of collaborating with the enemy is a capital crime, Ling Chi.

"Tens of thousands of people died in the hands of Yao Qile. Lin Xiqi slammed it shut the book, which was full of incriminating evidence of Yao Qile's crimes

He doesn't even need to look at it below, they are all Yao Qile's major crimes, which one is not a capital crime?

The garrison of Dunhuang County was almost completely wiped out, it was Yao Qile who secretly delivered the news to Hou Yuan, and it was he who gave some wrong orders to the garrison, which basically could be said to make them sit and wait for death.

With Yao Qile's internal response, the Tartar army is naturally like entering a no-man's land.

Lin Xiqi believes that people like Yao Qile are definitely not the only ones in Liangzhou, and there are probably many other county guards and magistrates.

"Damn. Lin Xiqi said angrily, "Tens of thousands of people, what does he want to do? What good does it do him to the death of the defenders of Dunhuang County? I don't believe that those Tartars really abide by the secret agreement with Yao Qile." ”

"Of course there are benefits, and big ones. Hao Feng said.

Seeing Lin Xiqi's somewhat puzzled look, Hao Feng couldn't help but continue to explain: "Only by removing these garrisons can Yao Qile replace these garrisons with his own people, so that he can go from the dark to the light." Recruiting troops for his backers, and having an army, is a manifestation of strength, and it is definitely of great use in the process of fighting for power. ”

"Well, it's all for themselves, completely ignoring the lives of the people. Lin Xiqi said, "In this way, they can indeed control the soldiers of a county, especially in this border place, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, even if the number of troops exceeds the establishment of the imperial court, I am afraid it is unlikely to be discovered." ”

As for the army, it is the most important thing, and the capital can be used as a powerful foreign aid when fighting for power. Hao Feng sighed.

Lin Xiqi thought for a while and said, "You don't need to worry about this matter, let me think about it." You will think about it yourself in the next few days, and if you still insist at that time, then I will send you to Dunhuang County. Lord Hao, it's not that I'm stalling for time, it's really that the Houyuan army hasn't completely withdrawn, so let's stay in Sandao County and wait and see what happens. ”

Hao Feng thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I'll stay here for a few more days." ”

"Yao Qile, hmph, it seems that it is not good for you to live. Lin Xiqi thought secretly in his heart.

After Yao Qile solves Hao Feng, the next thing he has to deal with must be himself, there is no doubt about this.

He removed the garrison with the help of the hands of the Tartars, and the reconstituted garrison will probably be his people, he wants to completely control Dunhuang County, and then he will be more able to do whatever he wants?

Lin Xiqi asked Wang Dong to investigate Yao Qile in the shortest possible time, and he still needed more things about Yao Qile.

His subordinates performed their duties, and Hong Shangrong was also on the city wall to guard against the return of the Tartar army.

After Wang Dong received his order, he immediately disappeared from the county office.

Renyue, Fu Vulture and others maintained order in the city, and when there were more people in the rivers and lakes, the security in the city was a lot more chaotic.

Lin Xiqi walked out of the county office, followed by Su Qingmei alone.

"Why did the young master come here?" Su Qingmei couldn't help but think secretly with some confusion after seeing Lin Xiqi walking towards the dilapidated area.

She is different from Su Qinglan, if Su Qinglan was here, I am afraid that she would have been shouting and asking questions a long time ago.

Su Qingmei couldn't figure it out in her heart, but she knew that Lin Xiqi must have something to do when she came over, and she shouldn't ask, so she didn't ask much.

Lin Xiqi quickly walked outside the residence of Sun Lian's family.

Lin Xiqi saw that Sun Lian was here, and he was making some gadgets in the small courtyard.

When Lin Xiqi and Su Qingmei appeared at his door, Sun Lian noticed it and couldn't help but raise his head and look over.

After seeing Lin Xiqi and Su Qingmei, Sun Lian's face changed slightly, and he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Xiqi and said, "Xiaomin has seen the big master." ”

"Oh, do you know this official?" Lin Xiqi said lightly.

"Xiaomin once looked at the adults from afar at the head of the city. Sun Lian said respectfully.

Hearing the movement outside, Sun Lian's wife and two children came out of the house.

"Quickly kowtow to the eldest master. Sun Lian shouted.

Of course, her wife had also seen Lin Xiqi, and her face was a little surprised, she didn't know what happened to Lin Xiqi, the magistrate of the county, who came here.

However, she did not hesitate, and pulled the two children to kneel down and kowtow to Lin Xiqi.

"Qingmei, you take the two of them out for a walk. I have something to say to their parents. Lin Xiqi pointed to Sun Lian's two children and said.

Sun Lian and his wife's faces changed slightly.

"Daddy, mother?" their daughter's face was a little worried.

However, her younger brother was still young and not very sensible, so he didn't realize anything, but just looked at Lin Xiqi and Su Qingmei curiously.
