Chapter 280 Controlling the Soldiers of a County

"When I escaped this time, I didn't bring anything else with me, but I brought some evidence of Yao Qile's collusion with the enemy. But on the way to Sandao County, many of them were lost. But after all, there are still some. During the time in Sandao County Here, I also re-transcribed what I know, the evidence has been lost, but as long as someone checks it, Yao Qile's problem can still be found out." Hao Feng said.

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

"Then thank you, Master Lin." Hao Feng saluted Lin Xiqi solemnly, "This is my life-saving talisman, at least before I hand over these evidences, Yao Qile probably won't take my life."

"It's hard to say, he is likely to act desperately." Lin Xiqi said.

"Hehe, he really wanted to get rid of me all these years, but unfortunately, he has some fears in his heart, relying on the criminal evidence in my hands." Hao Feng laughed.

"Yao Qile already knew that you had some evidence against him?" Lin Xiqi asked.

"I know, he wanted to do something to me at that time, and I used these threats to him so that he can live until now. He has been thinking about these evidences, so he didn't get the evidence money, and he didn't want to kill me. Big trouble. Although Yao Qile has a backer behind him, the major forces in the capital are vying for power, and they are also greedy for some control of the border. Yao Qile's position is also envied by many people. If he makes any movement, it is very likely that he will be attacked by his opponents in the capital. Attack." Hao Feng said.

Lin Xiqi nodded. The princes in the capital valued the situation on the border, not because 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, and even trade with Houyuan, so the position of the county guard like Yao Qile is still very important.

Yao Qile is also very aware of this, and he is very cautious, not wanting to give his opponent any leverage.

That's why he was able to endure Hao Feng's existence and never killed him.

"Master Lin, here are some evidences and what Yao Qile has done these years." After speaking, Hao Feng took out a book from his pocket and handed it to Lin Xiqi.

After Lin Xiqi took it, she looked through it.

After reading this page, Lin Xiqi's face became more and more ugly.

The evidence above can be described as shocking.

During Yao Qile's tenure as sheriff, he had many secret transactions with Hou Yuan.

Most of what he sent to Houyuan were swords, ironware and food, which were military supplies that were explicitly prohibited from trading with Houyuan.

After obtaining these, Hou Yuan used swords to attack the border of Daxia and massacred 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 just died at the hands of Yao Qile." Lin Xiqi suddenly closed the book filled with evidence of Yao Qile's crimes.

He doesn't need to read the following, they are all Yao Qile's serious crimes, which one is not a capital crime?
The garrison in Dunhuang County was almost wiped out. It was Yao Qile who secretly sent a message to Hou Yuan, and it was he who gave the garrison some wrong orders, basically telling them to sit and wait.

With Yao Qile's internal response, the Tazi army is naturally like entering a land without people.

Lin Xiqi believed that people like Yao Qile were definitely not an exception in Liangzhou, and there were probably many other prefects and county magistrates.

"Damn it." Lin Xiqi said angrily, "Tens of thousands of people, what does he want to do? The death of the defenders in Dunhuang County is definitely of no benefit to him? I don't believe those tartars really abide by the secret agreement with Yao Qile."

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

Seeing Lin Xiqi's puzzled look, Hao Feng couldn't help explaining: "Only by removing these garrisons can Yao Qile be able to replace them with his own people. In this way, he can bring these people from the dark to the bright." To recruit troops for his backer, having an army is a manifestation of strength, and it will definitely be of great use in the process of fighting for power."

"Well, it's all for themselves, regardless of the life and death of the people." Lin Xiqi said, "In this way, they can indeed control the soldiers of a county, especially in this border area, where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, even if the number of troops exceeds the imperial court I'm afraid it's not likely to be discovered by people."

"How could they care about the life and death of the people? As for the army, it is the most important thing. When the capital is fighting for power, it can be used as a powerful foreign aid." 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 carefully. You should think about it again in the next few days. If you still insist, then I will send you to Dunhuang County. Mr. Hao, It's not that I'm delaying time, it's because the Houyuan army hasn't completely evacuated, so we should stay in Sandao County and wait and see what happens."

After thinking for a while, Hao Feng nodded and said, "Okay then, I'll stay here for a few more days."

"Yao Qile, hmph, it seems that it's not easy for you to survive." Lin Xiqi thought to himself.

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

He removed the garrison with the help of the Tartars, and the re-established garrison would probably be his own. He wanted to completely control Dunhuang County. Wouldn't he be able to do whatever he wanted by then?
Lin Xiqi asked Wang Dong to investigate Yao Qile in the shortest possible time. He still needs more information about Yao Qile.

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

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

Ren Yue, Fu Jiu and the others maintained order in the city. When there were more people in the rivers and lakes, the law and order in the city became more chaotic.

Lin Xiqi left the county office, followed by Su Qingmei.

"Why did the young master come here?" Seeing Lin Xiqi walking towards the dilapidated area, Su Qingmei couldn't help thinking to herself with some doubts.

She is different from Su Qinglan. If Su Qinglan were here, she would have already asked questions loudly.

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

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

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

When Lin Xiqi and Su Qingmei appeared at his door, Sun Lian noticed it and raised his head to look over.

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

"Oh, you know me?" Lin Xiqi said lightly.

"Xiaomin once took a look at the adults from afar at the top of the city." Sun Lian said respectfully.

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

"Kowtow to the old man quickly." Sun Lian shouted.

Of course, her wife had also seen Lin Xiqi, and she looked a little surprised, wondering what the magistrate Lin Xiqi was doing here.

But she didn't hesitate, and pulled the two children to kowtow to Lin Xiqi.

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

The expressions of Sun Lian and his wife changed slightly.

"Father, mother?" Their daughter looked worried.

On the contrary, her younger brother was still young and immature, he didn't realize anything, but just looked at Lin Xiqi and Su Qingmei curiously.
