Happy Emperor

Chapter 128: Ontario Crisis

An Bilie felt a little overwhelmed. He scratched his head and secretly glanced at Emperor Li who was sitting opposite him without saying a word.

Emperor Li had a blank expression on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking.

He was also looking at himself intently.

"I...I don't know."

An Bilie replied with a scalp in his face: "But no matter what choice our emperor makes, there is one thing I am very sure of."

"That is, Emperor Li will never hide in the three provinces and not make progress as Uncle Lin said."

"Oh?"

Hearing An Bilie's answer, Lin Feng frowned, looked at An Bilie thoughtfully and said nothing more.

"Could it be that I misjudged this? Does Emperor Li really have the guts to fight the Prince of Pingdong?"

Lin Feng turned his head and looked at Lin Tian and Qi Mengchan.

"Could it be that these two are close confidants of Emperor Li? Is An Bilie afraid to tell the truth because he's afraid some of his words might get back to the emperor's ears? That's a good thing, at least this kid won't be framed like his older brother An."

Lin Feng speculated secretly in his heart.

He may not know Emperor Li very well, especially the sudden changes in Emperor Li in the past few months really made him a little puzzled.

But Lin Feng knew too well the influence and military talents of King Pingdong in Daxia.

If it weren't for his hot temper and his reluctance to accept the existence of a king of a different surname in Daxia, then the King of Pingdong would definitely be another Emperor Gaozu.

In some aspects, he may even surpass Emperor Gaozu.

"Uncle Lin."

An Bilie saw Emperor Li winking at him.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke again: "When we first entered the city, the soldiers guarding the city actually charged us an entrance fee."

"Why did Brother Lin Qin do this? Is it because Ontario raised taxes on you?"

At the end of his words, An Bilie found a reasonable reason for the Lin family.

If this matter was really arranged by the Lin family, he would have such a reason to plead with Emperor Li.

Although the Lin family still looked simple, An Bilie was not sure whether Lin Qin and the Lin family were on the same page. After all, people would change over the years.

"So far, Ontario has not raised any taxes or fees."

Lin Feng replied slowly, looking a little unnatural.

Lin Tian and the other two discovered that after Lin Feng heard what An Bilie said about Lin Qin, his hawk-like eyes seemed to dim a lot.

Could it be that Lin Qin betrayed the ancestral teachings?

The three of them couldn't help but become suspicious.

"Then...then why do you do this? Could it be that Lin Qin..."

An Bilie asked excitedly.

He also hoped that the Lin family could live a better life, even if it meant embezzling some money.

But blocking the road and collecting entrance fees from passing soldiers shows that the entire Longfeng County is rotten to the core, otherwise how could they do such a thing?

"Ugh!"

Lin Feng sighed, still unwilling to mention Lin Qin's affairs.

"Have you given money to those bastard soldiers guarding the city?" Lin Feng asked coldly.

"No."

Lin Tian narrowed his eyes and watched Lin Feng's expression change intently.

He said coldly: "I even had the guards at the gate beaten up."

"Good job, that's what you should do! You should have taught these bastards a lesson long ago." Lin Feng clenched his fists and knocked on the tea table.

The tea table looked like it would fall apart at any moment under the hammering.

"It seems that Senior Lin agrees with my approach?"

"Of course, this should have been done a long time ago. These soldiers are heading to the front lines, and we can't let the soldiers of Daxia feel disheartened no matter what!"

Lin Feng's chest heaved violently, and he said indignantly, "A while ago, a large number of soldiers and officers passed through, and they actually chose to send people to the prefect to negotiate for exemption of the entrance fee. I don't understand, these people who hold such great military power, how can they be so cowardly?"

"It was precisely because of these people's behavior that I made the assertion I just made. As the saying goes, a bad soldier leads a bad general. It's easy to tell what Emperor Li's character is like from the way these men lead the troops!"

An Bilie: “.......!”

Lin Tian: “......?”

After a brief silence, Lin Tian loosened his clenched hands and asked again.

"Then why didn't you report this matter to the Governor of Liaoan Province earlier, or report it directly to the court?"

"I believe that if you can do this, someone will definitely deal with this matter."

Lin Tian pointed out the crux of the problem incisively.

"Lin Feng, it's understandable that you're unable to manage this matter after stepping down. It's also understandable that the 'common people' of Daxia are unwilling to participate in this matter."

But just now, Lin Feng acted so disgusted with this matter. Wasn't this just acting?

If Raymond Lam didn't act out of spite, then there was something else he hadn't revealed.

Lin Tian's words seemed peaceful, but they forced Lin Feng into a 'dead end'.

Because of Lin Feng's status as a royal relative, as long as he is willing to come forward to deal with this matter, no matter whether it is himself or someone from the Batu family, there will definitely be someone to take care of it.

"Old man, old man...Alas!"

Lin Feng was a little excited.

"Uncle Lin, what exactly happened in Longfeng County?"

An Bilie asked, he had already seen that Lin Feng had something to hide.

"Master, please tell me. Otherwise, sooner or later the young master will..."

Uncle Fu, who had been silent all this time, also spoke up to give some advice.

Lin Feng glanced at a few people, and finally his eyes fell on An Bilie.

After a moment, he sighed.

"My dear nephew, I hope you will not get involved in this matter. Just follow the emperor's orders and go to the front line."

"Uncle Lin, if something really happened to the Lin family, how could I stay out of it?"

An Bilie's voice trembled a little. He had to repay the kindness he had received back then.

"you......."

Lin Feng was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to persuade An Bilie.

"Senior, you go first. If the matter is beyond An Bilie's scope of handling, you can report it to the emperor. I believe that my emperor is still capable of handling the affairs of Liaoan Province."

Qi Mengchan on the side also rarely spoke up to give some advice.

"Alright. Even if we can't handle these things, at least we have to let Emperor Li know."

Lin Feng said somewhat weakly.

"Talking about Ontario is no longer the same as it used to be."

"The Batu family has lost control of Liaoan Province, or more precisely, of Liaoan Province officials."

When these words were spoken, Lin Tian and the other two were shocked at the same time.

This is no small matter.

Now all the troops controlled by Lin Tian are on the front line. If the officials in the rear do not cooperate, there will be serious problems with logistics support.

For example, food transportation, equipment transportation, repatriation of wounded soldiers, and replenishment of troops.

Although Lin Tian had received news from Duan Chengming before he came, saying that Tang Bo was causing trouble in grain transportation.

But they did not realize that the problem was so serious that it affected the entire province of Ontario.
