Yao Donghai would never have thought that just when he was on the verge of despair, the arrival of a person would completely change this.

This person is not someone else, but Liu Xingming.

Of course, Liu Xingming, who arrived at Lin'an Mansion City, immediately went to the Mansion City to visit Yao Donghai.

Because Liu Xingming knew very well that under the current conditions, only what this Lin'an prefect said was worth believing.

"Oh, my husband, what kind of wind blows you."

After learning that the other party was the prince of Duke Wan and the dignified young master Liu Xingming, Yao Donghai couldn't help but make a flattering expression.

This is easy to understand, because he is just a fourth-rank official, or a remote place like Yunnan.

Although Yunnan is the place where people are today, it is one time and another.

After all, the Ming Dynasty was the richest in the Central Plains. When I came to Yunnan to become an official, I not only could not compare with the Central Plains, but also got cowardly from the chieftains.

After finally waiting for Liu Xingming, Yao Donghai seemed to have caught a life-saving straw.

"I was ordered by His Highness King Jin and His Highness King Zhong to investigate the rebellion of the chieftains, and it would be best to collect enough evidence of the crime."

Liu Xingming had no intention of hiding in front of Yao Donghai.

After all, Yao Donghai has been in Lin'an Prefecture for a while and should be very familiar with the situation of the local chieftains.

Liu Xingming didn't say it was okay, but when he mentioned this, Yao Donghai began to complain.

"Oh, my little master, you don't know anything. These chieftains are simply arrogant and do evil. Do you know how the Xiaguan has been through these days? They don't treat Xiaguan as human beings. Xiaguan is not a court official in front of them, but a family slave."

Yao Donghai was so excited, Liu Xingming quickly interrupted and said, "Master Yao, please calm down first. I know you have suffered a lot of grievances. Didn't the court send me to understand the situation? You can briefly describe the situation and let me see what it is used."

"Uh... the official obeys the order, obey the order."

Yao Donghai realized that he had performed a little too much, and quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a deep voice: "It's like this..."

Although Liu Xingming asked him to make a brief narrative immediately, when Yao Donghai opened his conversation, he continued like a surging river.

Liu Xingming could only listen with a bit.

When Yao Donghai finished talking about everything, Liu Xingming finally could figure it out.

"As you say that, these eight major village officials are not a solid piece of the same."

From Yao Donghai's narrative, Liu Xingming can get a very useful message, that is, the Badazhaisi even fight for seats, and neither of them is convinced by each other.

But why do they have such a close understanding of the imperial court?

"This, isn't it."

Yao Donghai sighed: "Before the Burmese colluded with local toasts, they were indeed not a solid piece of cake. But the Burmese did not know what kind of ecstasy soup they had given them. Since then, their relationship has become much more harmonious."

"What, Myanmar actually sent people to Lin'an Prefecture?"

Liu Xingming was so shocked that he was beyond remarkable.

If it is said that Myanmar sent people to the junction of southern Yunnan, Liu Xingming could understand that Lin'an Prefecture is already a relatively close to the central part of southeastern Yunnan. Can Myanmar actually send people to such a position? Do you really treat Yunnan as their back garden?

"This... Although Xiaguan knows it, it is not easy to give birth to Zhang. You know, the chieftain has the final say here. If Xiaguan gives birth to Zhang, he might not be able to say that his head has been cut off and hung on the top of the city at this moment."

Yao Donghai said helplessly.

"It's outrageous."

Liu Xingming said angrily: "These guys really bully me, no one in the Ming Dynasty. But this general will never let them do what they want. Tell me, you can have the opportunity to collect evidence of their crimes."

"this..."

Yao Donghai's eyes immediately began to roll.

"I heard that the eight villages will hold a martial arts competition in two days, and this may be a matter of making a fuss."

Liu Xingming raised his eyebrows and said, "If you have any words, you might as well say it clearly, you don't need to hide it."

"That's right, my husband, you see, it's inevitable that you will bring weapons in martial arts competitions. These chieftain soldiers received funding from Myanmar and had many standard weapons. Our Ming Dynasty still had strict control over weapons. Generally, bows, crossbows, knives, forks, swords and halberds have strict regulations. As long as it can be proved that the private soldiers raised by these chieftains are equipped with weapons that exceed the regulations, they can be convicted."

Yao Donghai swallowed and said.

After hearing this, Liu Xingming was very satisfied.

Scholars are scholars after all, and these civil servants are more erotic than those of them.

If Liu Xingming had to think about it, he would never have thought of such a way.

"But this crime alone is probably not enough."

Liu Xingming pondered for a moment and said, "It is best to get direct evidence of their collusion with Myanmar, such as letters."

Yao Donghai immediately responded: "This is simple, the officials can send someone to do it."

"Very good, then thanks to the hard work of this matter to Prefect Yao."

"What the younger master said? Being able to serve the younger master is a blessing for the younger official in his eight lifetimes. If you have any instructions, please tell me. The younger official will follow the order and do not frown."

Yao Donghai patted his chest and began to promise.

Liu Xingming nodded and said, "Since that's the case, let's do this first. I'm a little tired, so Magistrate Yao will retreat first."

...

...

After Yao Donghai left, Liu Xingming began to carefully analyze the current situation.

From Yao Donghai's words, he could know that the entire Lin'an Prefecture is now under the control of the chieftains, and Yao Donghai is almost under the cover of the imperial court's government orders here are not smooth, and almost no one abides by the laws of the Ming Dynasty.

These chieftains do whatever they want and can even ignore the rules.

This of course gave Liu Xingming the opportunity to collect evidence, but it also brought danger.

Although he only brought a hundred people, it is easy to be suspicious that so many innocent faces appeared in Lin'an Mansion City at once.

If these toasts find out, they will probably find out the truth and find out the truth.

At that time, let alone trying to collect evidence of the crime, it is very likely that Liu Xingming and his party will not be able to protect their lives.

Therefore, their true identities must be hidden and they need to come up with a reasonable identity to conceal.

After thinking about it, Liu Xingming felt that they claimed that they had recruited new yamen runners by the prefect Yao.

First of all, Liu Xingming's subordinates were carefully selected, and their bodies must be very strong and refreshing. When they saw that these people were not literati but martial artists.

Since you cannot reveal your identity, you can only find an identity like a guard and a yamen runner.

There is one advantage of the status of a yamen runner. They can stay in the government office openly and will be much more comfortable in the future.
