Chapter 162 Doubt
"Haha~~" Lin Xiqi laughed loudly, "At first, I thought that as long as he didn't come to interfere with me or the affairs of Sandao County, I wouldn't give less of the benefits and filial piety that should be given. Now it seems that these are not worth it. If necessary, the 100 million taels will be cancelled.”

"Your Excellency?" Chen Changjie frowned, "This will anger the Sheriff, it's inappropriate."

"If you get angry, get angry. I'm still a little too naive. These are greedy and hungry wolves. They won't look at me differently because I gave him 100 million taels, and I'm afraid they will play my mind. I hope they can To get more benefits from me, it is best to get rid of me." Lin Xiqi sneered, "In the next period of time, they probably won't care about us anymore, and they have to wait until Houyuan invaded the border this time. The focus will be on us. For a while, that's enough."

The next day, Lin Xiqi put on her official uniform under the service of the Su family sisters.

"My lord, do you want to let the two girls go together?" Chen Changjie asked.

"It's not suitable for the two of them in the past." Lin Xiqi shook his head and said, "Don't worry, after all, you are in Dunhuang City. Even if Yao Qile wants to deal with this official, I'm afraid he won't do it at this time, right?"

When Chen Changjie heard what Lin Xiqi said, he knew that it was useless to persuade him any longer. Of course, he felt that Lin Xiqi was right.

After leaving the door, Chen Changjie had already prepared a sedan chair.

After Lin Xiqi entered the sedan chair, her eyebrows twitched.

"These two girls." Lin Xiqi shook his head secretly and said.

He already felt that the two women had already disguised themselves as men and mixed in with the yamen servants.

He didn't want to say anything about it, it was probably Chen Changjie's idea.

Yao Qile, more than 50 years old, with a slightly fat body, is now sitting in the first place, with a deadpan expression on his face, making it hard to see what is going on in his heart.

Because of her age, Lin Xiqi took the last seat in the hall.

"Everyone, have you all remembered what I said just now?" Yao Qile asked.

Just now he explained to the seven magistrates present that Houyuan might invade the border in the near future.

"Remember it." The seven said in unison.

"Just write it down. Next, when you go back, you must assist the garrison in the county and organize the people to resist the invasion of the Yuan Dynasty. At the same time, you must make various preparations for the people to take refuge. Now, I have to give you a warning. Next time, whoever protects the people is unfavorable, I will ask for you." Yao Qile said coldly.

Guan Zhimiao and others complained one after another, nothing more than lack of money and people.

"Shut up!" Yao Qile yelled, "Don't cry poorly here, no matter what method you use, I will minimize the loss, otherwise you will lose your black hats at least, or you will die at worst. You can see for yourself manage."

Having said that, everyone suddenly had nothing to say.

Among these people, Shen Nanyi, Hao Feng and Lin Xiqi didn't cry much.

Shen Nanyi is the county magistrate of Dunhuang City. He is in the county town, and the surrounding defenses are the strongest. Generally, there is nothing to worry about.

Hao Feng knew that Yao Qile didn't like him very much, so he didn't say much.

As for Lin Xiqi, he will not be like Guan Zhimiao and the others.

"I can give you an idea. You go back and gather all the local sects to help them defend. There must be a lot of opportunities." Yao Qile said.

"My lord, don't call those people in the Jianghu." Guan Zhimiao said, "Most people in the Jianghu will forget their righteousness for profit. There is no benefit for them. They will not stand out."

"That depends on your own abilities." Yao Qile said lightly, "In this regard, Lord Lin of Sandao County has done a good job. This time, he and Fuyunzong teamed up to wipe out the robbers and villains who have been entrenched in Sandao County for many years. You guys If you don't have much experience, you can ask Mr. Lin for advice. Mr. Lin, do you think so?"

Lin Xiqi stood up from the chair, cupped his hands towards Yao Qile and said, "Returning to your lord, the next official came here this time and wanted to report this matter to your lord."

"Oh, is that so?" Yao Qile frowned, "Then let's talk about it."

"My lord, I hope to report to you alone later," Lin Xiqi said.

"It's okay, if you have anything to say, just say it here, could it be that you can't trust the colleagues present?" Yao Qile said.

"In this case, let me tell you the truth." Lin Xiqi said, "The robbers Wang Long, Wang Hu, and Wang Bao in Sandao County have been doing evil for many years. After a secret investigation by the subordinate officials, they are all members of the Wang family. They have a close relationship. It can be said that the Wang family is the real bandit leader in Sandao County. It is a pity that the county government has limited manpower, and the strength of those servants is not high. The next official happened to hear that the Fuyun Sect was jealous and hated these robbers, so he finally stepped down. Send someone to contact the Floating Cloud Sect before joining forces with the Floating Cloud Sect. That's all."

"That's right, that's right. Mr. Lin is worthy of commendation for eliminating harm for the people as soon as he took office. I will report this matter." Yao Qile nodded and said.

"Master Lin, don't you have anything else to report?" Guan Zhimiao stared at Lin Xiqi and said.

"No more." Lin Xiqi shook her head and said.

"No more?" Guan Zhimiao couldn't help but twitched his lips, and said with a sneer, "Lord Lin seems to be a nobleman who forgets things too much. The Wang family firm is well-known in Dunhuang County, and is even known as the richest man in Sandao County. Is the Wang family’s wealth just gone like this? Master Lin didn’t mention it at all, maybe it was swallowed by you?”

"Master Guan, don't spout blood." Lin Xiqi shouted.

The three of Liang Mo were not idle either, and they all expressed their doubts. They and Guan Zhimiao were considered to be wearing a pair of pants, so naturally they would not let Lin Xiqi go at this time.

"Master Lin, I have heard a little about the wealth of the Wang family." Shen Nanyi smiled and said.

Lin Xiqi glanced at a few people. This Shen Nanyi was almost standing on the side of Guan Zhimiao and the others, while Hao Feng was sitting, watching his nose and nose, without making a sound.

He looked at Yao Qile again, and saw that Yao Qile was also staring at him closely.

Lin Xiqi probably understood that this matter was mainly because of Yao Qile.

Probably he was instigating Guan Zhimiao and the others behind his back, and Guan Zhimiao and the others had already had opinions on him, so this matter just happened naturally, and they put pressure on themselves at this time.

It's a pity that they don't know, and I don't care about them at all.

"Lord Sheriff, I actually don't want to talk about this matter. It's really embarrassing to say it, but all the adults have said so, so I can only tell the truth." Lin Xiqi said.

"Okay, let's talk about Mr. Lin. I believe that Mr. Lin is an upright official and will not do such a thing." Yao Qile nodded and said, "It's just that you have doubts in your hearts, so I give Mr. Lin a chance to It’s better to clarify things than to be randomly suspected.”

Yao Qile was very dissatisfied with Lin Xiqi in his heart. The Wang family was destroyed, but Lin Xiqi didn't give him any benefits. Doesn't this mean that he didn't take himself as the sheriff seriously?
"Thank you for your protection, my lord." Lin Xiqi said, "It is true that a lot of property was confiscated from the Wang family this time."

"How much?" Yao Qile asked hastily.

After this question, Yao Qile realized that he had lost his composure, coughed lightly and said, "I'm a little curious, curious, everyone here must be like this, right?"

Guan Zhimiao and others naturally said yes.
