Chapter 131 Backstab (Additional 18)

"sucker Punch!"

Lai Juncheng shouted.

"Now the evidence is irrefutable. We have both the video and the audio. Your words about your protection are the strongest evidence! What else can you quibble with?"

Lin Wen sneered, "Stupid monkey, watch carefully."

He turned to the staff and said, "Replay it."

The staff rewound the tape and played it again.

The scene of Lin Wen and Long Xinshen sitting opposite each other appeared on the screen again.

"stop!"

Lin Wen pointed at the screen and said, "Everyone, look, what is this?"

Lai Juncheng sneered: "It's the picture of you colluding with dirty drug dealers and delusionally trying to be the umbrella for evil."

Lin Wen sneered, "You idiot! Think about it with your gut. Look at this picture. Doesn't it just fit everyone in? Look at the angle. If it's slightly offset, won't a few people be missing?"

Lai Juncheng said coldly: "What does that mean?"

"Those of you who often take candid photos will understand how difficult it is to find the right angle."

"Not only that, look at the height of this perspective. Anyone with a little math can calculate that the camera is 1.5 meters off the ground, and about 3 meters away from the main character. Judging by the layout of the room, the camera is located in the corner to the left of the door."

"The image quality is excellent, comparable to film, which means this is a professional high-definition camera."

"There's no shaking in the image, proving the camera must be on a tripod."

"Look at this scene again."

He asked the staff to turn the video to the last scene.

"Look at this picture, two people shaking hands in a friendly manner facing the camera. Does this picture look familiar? When you attend a public event and shake hands in front of reporters, do you look at the camera like this?"

"Would anyone shake hands with their face tilted like this when there are no reporters around and no need to take pictures?"

"and."

He smiled a confident, sunny smile, as if he was giving a speech on stage rather than facing a life-and-death question.

"They looked towards the camera, which means they knew where it was, so there was no question of them secretly filming."

"In fact, professional cameras are bulky and difficult to use for secret filming."

"So, let's imagine a professional movie camera, mounted on a 1.5-meter-high tripod, in a corner of a room, facing an imperial official, a heinous drug dealer."

"Two people were negotiating a deal without paying any attention to the camera filming them. What kind of scene is this?"

The conference hall was silent, as was Capitol Hill on the other side of the video.

Lin Wen smiled and said, "You figured it out, right? This is a scene from a movie. It's obviously just a play."

"I think, except for a giant idiot, no official would risk his life and violate the empire's taboo by trading with drug traffickers under such circumstances, right?"

He once again showed a confident and sunny smile to the four elders, thirteen governors, and fifty high-ranking councilors.

"Do you think I look like a retard?"

"Or do you think that the Empire can tolerate a mentally retarded person becoming the governor of a place?"

The elders were naturally unmoved, but several governors smiled slightly.

On Capitol Hill, there was already a burst of laughter, and no matter how Big Nose banged the gavel, it was useless. However, when he saw that the elders had no objection to this, he gave up on maintaining order.

Lai Juncheng was furious and shouted, "How dare you speak to the emperor's elders like that! This is a crime of blasphemy against the empire, and according to the law, you must be executed on the spot! Come on! Quick, kill him!"

This statement only had a huge counter-effect.

The four elders' gazes all shifted over in an instant.

Elder Wang said in a low voice, "Lai Juncheng, you are just a department head. What qualifications do you have to order the imperial garrison troops to kill people in front of the elders?"

Elder Ye: "Are you used to being lawless in the Council?"

Elder Xu: "Director Lai used to be a mature, calm and sophisticated man. How could he be so impulsive and foolish? I now seriously suspect that you used genetic skin technology!"

Elder Cheng immediately said, "I agree with the opinions of the elders. Lai Juncheng must undergo a comprehensive biological examination!"

Lai Juncheng's face turned pale. Genetic skin technology is not a panacea. It can only cope with normal testing. If it is a destructive test, it will be able to find flaws in him.

A huge fear enveloped him. This was the pressure from the elders. He looked at Yu Zhongxian tremblingly, hoping that this elder of the council could find some way to help him.

But he only saw the general manager's cold eyes.

Suddenly, Lai Juncheng felt a sharp pain in his heart, and then his whole body became hot, as if he was in scorching heat. He fell to the ground, making a hoarse sound in his throat, his vision quickly blurred, and soon he could not see anything clearly.

In his last moment of consciousness, all that was left was huge regret.

The medical staff at the venue rushed over and after a careful examination, shook their heads and said, "There are no vital signs. It's probably a sudden death caused by a heart attack. The detailed cause of death requires an autopsy."

Elder Wang glanced at Yu Zhongxian and said, "Drag the body away and hand it over to the Imperial Biological Research Institute for a detailed examination of the cause of death."

Yu Zhongxian looked indifferent and unmoved.

The four elders knew that this probably wouldn't lead to any results.

This is the style of the Supreme Council, treating human life as worthless and acting ruthlessly without mercy.

But even so, as long as the Council reveals the slightest hint, people will still flock in, and no matter how many they kill, the number of people outside trying to squeeze in will not decrease.

This is also the basis for their unscrupulous behavior.

There are simply too many people in the empire. Wherever there is a little power, countless people will flock there.

The Supreme Council is the leader among them, and has a notorious reputation outside. Although most people spit on and curse it when its name is mentioned, when it extends an olive branch, no matter how much dirt and blood is on it, they will immediately transform into dogs with tongues stuck out and smiling faces.

If he is lucky enough to get in, he will be even more arrogant and do all the shameful things he has done to the Council ten times more and take pride in it.

Over time, the Council has been filled with such people, and has become increasingly brutal and dark.

There is no way around this. The Supreme Council is the core institution of the empire. Any rash changes will cause huge shocks, so we can only try our best to restrain it.

Elder Cheng said, "Director Yu, do you have anything else to add?"

Yu Zhongxian bowed slightly, and an official from the review council presented another piece of evidence.

This evidence details how a huge amount of funds was eventually gathered in the Changshan County Finance Department through various means.

The official said respectfully, "Elder, this is the transaction amount mentioned in the video. Excluding the 12 million on the scene, the remaining 76 million went into Changshan County without a cent less."

"The transaction location has been identified. It's located in an underground bank in Huai Town, the capital of Changshan County. The restaurant run by that underground bank happens to have an identical private room."

Without saying anything extra, the official retreated respectfully after finishing his words.

But it is this simple statement that is extremely lethal.

Almost all the governors shook their heads secretly. This evidence was too solid and it directly blocked any possibility of sophistry.

Elder Cheng glanced at Lin Wen, only to see him sneer with a triumphant smile. Thinking he had a back-up plan, he said, "Lin Wen, do you have anything else to explain about the funding issue?"

But in fact, Lin Wen had no explanation. He just felt that he would not be able to pass the test. He was thinking about the details of the plan and how much good karma he could gain by killing Yu Zhongxian.

Lin Wen hadn't planned to speak, but when he heard the question, he casually replied, "The First Princess gave it to me."

At the same time, he had already calculated the magic in his mind, which was just enough to use up all the remaining spirits. As soon as the result came out, he rushed forward and killed Yu Zhongxian first, and then decided the extent of the next plan based on the strength of the garrison troops.

Unexpectedly, this nonsense did not immediately trigger ridicule or refutation. Everyone was silent or thoughtful.

Neither side was willing to speak, and voting began quickly.

The voters are 13 governors and 50 senior councillors, a total of 63 people. The approval vote must exceed two-thirds, or 42 votes, to confirm the conviction.

Since there were not many people, the results came out quickly.

31 votes against, 32 votes in favor.

It barely exceeds one-half and needs to be reviewed.

The review will usually be held one month later, and this month is the process of struggle between the two sides.

This should be a satisfactory result for everyone except the Council.

But what no one expected was that in addition to Yu Zhongxian, Lin Wen was also very dissatisfied.

I'm fucking ready to leave. I've even figured out the first steps to joining the mountain gate. And you tell me to wait another month?

no.

I can't wait any longer.

Every second in the physical world is torture. Only in the world of cultivating immortals can his mind find peace and his heart of Tao be pure and spotless.

Otherwise, I would be exhausted just from sweeping the floor at the altar every day.

Everything he encountered and had to deal with was hurtful.

Everything that surrounds us is obviously annoying, but because there is no completely black fly that cannot be killed, it is all mental pollution.

Ants are fine, but flies are really disgusting.

Lin Wen couldn't bear it any longer and made special arrangements for his funeral. He was ready to fight to the death at the council meeting, to win the last bit of benefit for Changshan County, to fulfill his duties as the county magistrate at the last moment, and then to die perfectly.

He has been thinking about this plan for a long time.

How can I trigger [Savior] and [Responsible Person] at the same time without becoming a [Suicide Person]?

This is very particular.

It is also very dangerous.

Because if there is a subjective desire to die, it becomes suicide.

For example, if he ripped his clothes and rushed into the palace to kill people, just like the top assassins in Assassin's Creed, he would inevitably die, but it would almost certainly be a suicide, or a worse cause of death, such as killing innocent people indiscriminately or being an incompetent rat.

These are the worst causes of death and are absolutely forbidden areas that should not be touched.
