Chapter 5 Did you break up with him?
5
"Why are you up again?" Lin Baige hurried over and laid him down. He took off his shoes and got on the bed, then handed him the paper. "I just met with Lin Xing and got him to tell me about a few people. He's infiltrated every department in our country. We have to catch these pests."
Lin Baige thought for a moment and then filled in two more names on the paper. These were the two names that had appeared in his reading. "The Minister of Justice and the Governor of the Capital are both his people. We can first arrest these people and interrogate them thoroughly. We can gradually dismantle his power step by step. It would be best if we kill him as well."
Lin Baige saw Fu Jiangyu staring at him: "What's wrong?"
"Are you willing to kill him?" Fu Jiangyu raised his hand and touched the tear marks on his face: "Did you cry just now? Did you break up with him? If I listened to you and killed him today, and you regretted it tomorrow, wouldn't you blame me?"
Lin Baige: "???"
It turns out that Fu Jiangyu has always known that the original owner and Lin Xing were secretly having an affair?
If Fu Jiangyu also knew that he liked Lin Xing, then everything he did now would be too abnormal and would be easy for Fu Jiangyu to see through.
In order to save his own life, he had to quickly come up with a solution.
"Yesterday, when I saw you were about to die, you said that if you died, no one would be able to protect me. At that moment, I realized that you were the only one who truly loved me, and he was just using me. I understood, and I couldn't bear to see you die..." Lin Baige turned his back and put a few drops of eye drops in his eyes: "I found that I like you more."
"I don't believe it." Fu Jiangyu wiped his tears for him: "Don't make decisions when you are excited. Wait for a while, when you calm down, so as not to regret it later."
"I won't regret it. I think my reputation is bad now, and I've made you a tyrant. With so many people revolting outside, the whole country is doomed..." Lin Baige told him his plan: "I plan to catch all his people and clean up the bureaucracy. I will gather all these officials and behead them together with Lin Xing. This beheading must be made public, telling the people that all the wrongdoings before were instigated by Lin Xing. Now the court will execute these officials and Lin Xing together to give the people justice."
He learned this from Lin Xing. Lin Xing blamed all the evil things he had done on the original owner. When the emotions of the onlookers were incited to the peak, he chopped off the original owner's head with a knife.
It is better to treat others in their own way. The difference is that in the original text, Lin Xing pushed his evil deeds onto others, but now he is reaping the consequences.
"Even if you've really made up your mind, Lin Xing can't die. We've signed an agreement with Jiang State. If we treat Lin Xing well, they can export cheap salt to us..."
"Wait a minute!" Lin Baige interrupted him: "Salt? Is that what I'm thinking of, the salt we eat? Don't we have a sea here? The production process is so easy, why don't we just make it ourselves." Lin Baige thought to himself that this article was too stupid.
But he saw Fu Jiangyu's expression: "Is there really no sea..."
Fu Jiangyu: "Of the four countries, only Jiang is on the coast. We are deep inland, and the other two are in the desert and the extreme cold. All three of us have to buy salt from Jiang. Because of Lin Xing, Jiang reduced the price for us by 30%."
Lin Baige thought that the whole country was in chaos and they had no strength to compete with Jiang State. If they killed Lin Xing, Jiang State would not only not sell them salt, but might also take the opportunity to attack them.
What they need to do now is to rectify the bureaucracy, quell the rebellion, and produce salt. Once their country becomes strong, they won't have to worry about Jiang State taking the opportunity to start a war after they kill Lin Xing.
"First, put Lin Xing under house arrest. Don't let anyone near him except the secret guards. Arrest all officials associated with him, interrogate them, and confiscate their property. Distribute the proceeds from the confiscations among the people to regain their hearts. I remember those uprisings. The rebels were driven to revolt by natural disasters and lack of food. We can issue an imperial decree, dismiss all officials in those provinces, and replace them with their leaders." Lin Baige suddenly remembered seeing lake salt and well salt while shopping in the supermarket. "We don't need the sea to make salt. We can dig salt wells."
