Chapter 115 Madam
"That's Yao Jinnian, the governor of Baihe City in Longzhou. He's greedy, lustful, incompetent, and shameless. He's in this position because he gave his wife and daughter to Gu Zhengyi, the governor of Longzhou. He's a potential enemy of ours, and the governor of Longzhou and Sheng Huaixuan have a bad relationship."
Lin Wen huddled in a corner, covering his face with a large stack of food, and observed the officials in the field through the gap between two chicken legs.
According to Qin Luoshuang's request, only officials at the ministerial level and above in Zhengzhou will be reported.
"A hexagonal face, eyes like lightbulbs, a nose like cow dung, a mouth like a bathtub, ears like palm-leaf fans, and a nameplate on his chest that reads a sword with three stripes."
"That's Liu Sheng, the deputy mayor of Yaojing Lingdu. He's a man with a penchant for men and is particularly skilled at money laundering. He has no administrative skills and is a tool used by Mayor Changsheng to make money."
"Although Changsheng is only a captain, his rank is that of a vice president. With one step, he can enter the imperial level. His connections will be very helpful to us."
Lin Wen asked: "What should we do?"
“You can only win over Changsheng’s relationship by bribing him. Ten million is a knock on the door.”
"No thanks."
"good."
Lin Wen only accepts connections that are used to trick corrupt officials into giving Changshan County's money to them, unless he kills them.
Of course, such people are a minority, and most officials only need to go up and chat with them, because everyone comes here for this purpose.
Qin Luoshuang found a number of officials worth winning over, who might be of some help to Lin Wen at the next joint meeting of thirteen states.
After determining the target, Lin Wen would use his sharp mind to chat with them for a while. In most cases, the effect was quite good.
Building relationships, chatting, gossiping, and bragging about business are all done with great skill.
If communication must be done through cold, monetary transactions, then Lin Wen will give up.
In addition, there is another type of people.
"That's Lin Jiaxin, the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Mingzhou Governor's Office. This woman is very powerful. In the past, local secret societies in Mingzhou were very rampant, and she suppressed them all. In Lingjiagang alone, she killed at least 30,000 rebels from the Big Knife Group and the He Party. She has a friendly relationship with us, so you can go up and talk to her."
"No."
Lin Wen activated the [Observing the Qi of People] technique. This cold and serious old woman was not only completely black, the Qi above her head seemed to be dripping with blood.
He silently wrote her name in a small notebook.
This is a plain little notebook, but there is a line of bright red words at the top.
【Must-kill person】
There are already more than a dozen names below.
Now there is one more person: Lin Jiaxin, the Minister of the Interior of the Mingzhou Governor's Office.
The full name is written down to prevent duplication, which will affect the accuracy of future use of [Asking about Heaven].
He had thought of a brilliant way to ask the question.
【Where is the person in this notebook? 】
One question, all solved.
It's simply a genius idea.
Unfortunately, spells like curse to death are of a relatively high level, all of which are above the Soul Stage. Even if he has exhausted all his good karma, he cannot use them. Otherwise, the whole world will be peaceful after one curse to death.
Putting away the Death Note, Lin Wen continued to observe and soon found another target worthy of attention.
"Huh, someone of this rank... Let me think, that's right! He must be Xu Yin, the Minister of the Organization Department of the Imperial Headquarters. He is a close confidant of Elder Wang of the Supreme Elders Council. This means that Elder Wang will definitely attend this conference."
Qin Luoshuang's voice in the headphones became heavy.
"This is bad. Elder Wang is one of Sheng Huaixuan's hostile forces. He is extremely hostile to the imperial faction and advocates suppressing and reducing imperial power. This is very disadvantageous to you."
Lin Wen was surprised: "Sheng Huaixuan is from the imperial faction? The emperor has a faction?"
The headset was silent for about ten seconds before it spoke, "Sheng Huaixuan is from the Dongzhou faction, but the current Emperor, His Majesty Li Longxing, has always been Sheng Huaixuan's biggest supporter. They have a close relationship, otherwise Sheng Huaixuan would have passed away thirty years ago."
"As for the Emperor and the Imperial Faction, I can't explain it clearly right now. You just need to know that all the elders are opposed to the expansion of imperial power. Among them, there are only moderate opponents and strong opponents, including Sheng Huaixuan's staunch ally, Elder Cheng."
"All of His Majesty's support comes from the Senate, but it has been severely constrained recently and can barely move. So if you want to count on His Majesty to rescue you, it's impossible. If the situation gets bad, he might not even be able to protect Sheng Huaixuan."
This conflicted greatly with Lin Wen's previous beliefs, leaving him momentarily baffled. "The Emperor couldn't even hold up the heavens on his own. Furthermore, since Elder Cheng was an opponent, how could he be Sheng Huaixuan's staunch ally?"
The headset said, "This is the multifaceted nature of interests. Elder Cheng and Sheng Huaixuan have many areas where they can cooperate. At the same time, he is also the most moderate opponent. As long as the imperial power does not touch his interests, he will hardly oppose it."
"All right."
Lin Wen didn't want to understand these things in depth. He just needed to know them and leave the rest to professionals.
At this moment, a noble lady with a proud figure, at least F-level, suddenly fell down and pounced on Lin Wen.
Lin Wen stood up quickly, not forgetting to move the stool away.
With a "ba" sound.
The lady fell face down on the ground, chest downwards.
Her hands are raised forward, as if seeking a hug, but now, if she stands up, it would probably be a posture of praising the sun.
"Madam!" Two strong men rushed up from behind and helped the fallen lady up.
The latter's pretty and delicate face had turned red, not only from the fall, but also from the incredible shame and anger.
She was the beauty of the West City of Shenjing, and her secret weapon that never failed actually failed on a young boy, and she ended up in such an embarrassing state.
"Defender!" Anger twisted her face. "Catch him!"
The two strong defenders hesitated. This was a banquet full of high-ranking officials of the empire, and some eyes were already gathered around them, but it was impossible to disobey the lady's order.
Just as they were about to step forward, Lin Wen spoke, "Madam, you are like the most beautiful flower, like the brightest sun. When you walked towards me, it was like the most unbearable light descending from heaven to earth. I was shocked by your beauty and amazed by your inviolable sanctity. I was terrified and dared not touch you, fearing that I would destroy your perfect temperament. However, I have brought shame upon you. Needless to say, please kill me. Only my blood can wash away the harm I have caused you."
Of course, it was impossible for Lin Wen to say such disgusting words. It was said by Qin Luoshuang in his earphones:
"Hurry up and apologize to her. I know this woman. She is Ye Lingyue, the daughter of Elder Ye. She is hiding her identity and is here to hunt for beauties. People in their circle like to play this kind of game very much. Don't let her lose face."
"Now that she's here, Elder Ye must have also come to the meeting. Elder Ye is a friendly force you can win over. You must establish a good relationship with her."
Lin Wenkai took a look at her using his [Observing Qi and Judging People] technique. There was no black energy, only pink bubbles rising. This indicated that she had been immersed in passion for a long time and was a master of love between men and women, but this had nothing to do with doing evil.
With her beauty and status, there is probably nothing she can't get, and no man can refuse her.
But her current gas state is a bit strange. The bubbles that keep rising and exploding indicate that her desire and anger are steaming together.
Can you still be excited after falling to the ground?
