Chapter 132 The End of the Beginning
All of Lin Wen's actions must have a reasonable main reason. They must be done to save the people and to protect Changshan County, not for reincarnation.
His true intentions must be completely concealed, otherwise he will become a "suicide" or some other messed up thing.
Therefore, he cannot unreasonably and deliberately seek death, cannot deliberately not resist, or directly let the enemy win, or be sneaky and pretend to be defeated. None of these will work.
He had to give it his all, rack his brains, and fight with all his might, just like a normal person facing a life-and-death crisis.
Lin Wen has thought about these things very clearly and is familiar with the logic between them, so the plan he made today is also very perfect.
The first step is to kill a few high-ranking officials of the empire to establish his authority and demonstrate his ability.
All black is a necessary condition, and the best target is someone who poses a threat or has malicious intent to Changshan County, which is more beneficial to him.
Yu Zhongxian is undoubtedly the best target.
The moment he appeared, everyone was intimidated by his majesty, but Lin Wen's eyes lit up, as if the demon who had been imprisoned for ten thousand years had seen a naked beauty.
In his eyes, this person is no longer a human being, but a piece of meat.
The second step is to kidnap a few more high-ranking officials of the empire, the higher the better. If you have time, kill some of the villains. It would be a waste not to make use of the good karma that comes for free.
Then comes the most important third step.
He wanted to loudly publicize all his achievements, claiming that only he could make Changshan County better, claiming that only he could lift Changshan County out of poverty, and claiming that only he could protect the civilians of Changshan County.
Based on this, he asked the empire to pardon all his crimes and promote him, otherwise Changshan County would never develop.
He wanted to make things bigger and let as many people as possible hear his voice, so kidnapping and dialogue were necessary.
In order to shock the empire enough, killing the hostages is necessary, so the kidnapped high-ranking officials must be completely black.
The last step is the combat part, he needs to show enough destructive power, and this destructive power is understandable.
Then, after his death, the empire would certainly treat Changshan County with great kindness to prove his words.
This logic is easy to understand.
For the empire, he who rebelled against the emperor and killed high-ranking officials of the empire must be an unforgivable villain, a devil with heinous crimes, and an absolute villain.
He claimed that only he could save Changshan County. If Changshan County really declined, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of the empire? Where would the glory of the empire be?
Therefore, the empire must make Changshan County prosperous in order to prove their natural justice.
There are two key points:
First, the matter must be big enough, shocking enough, and widely known, the kind that cannot be covered up.
Second, what he said must be reasonable, and the price must be acceptable to the empire, otherwise others would just regard him as the nonsense of a madman and would not take any action at all.
A county with a population of over one million is the most suitable, reasonable and extreme option.
This is the perfect answer that Lin Wen finally found after asking [Xianrenzhilu] countless times.
In order to make the question accurate enough, Lin Wen tried it nearly ten thousand times, trying almost every possible question before he found the final and most perfect question.
Almost all of my time for cultivating immortality in the past few days was dedicated to it.
Fortunately, the final result lived up to his expectations and he got a highly executable plan.
However, the prerequisite for the implementation of this plan is that he must face an irreversible death crisis.
Otherwise, everything would be in vain, no matter how perfectly he executed the plan, it would be suicide.
【Suicide】
[Chance -3, Luck -3]
It’s a rip-off!
So, when those people showed their weakness and were easily refuted by him, Lin Wen was very disappointed. This meant that his carefully prepared plan was completely useless and died in the womb.
However, the appearance of Yu Zhongxian gave him a glimmer of hope.
The mastermind behind the scenes did not disappoint Lin Wen. He forced him into a dead end with one move.
Like a savior, it saved him from failure.
So Lin Wen decided that after killing him, he should let him fall to the ground gently to avoid hurting the body.
Of course, the cause of death is determined by actions rather than intentions, and has nothing to do with what he thinks in his heart.
Otherwise, he would be a suicide no matter what.
And when the irrefutable evidence came out, Lin Wen concluded that he had no room to resist.
Although he later destroyed the Lei Gang, Qin Luoshuang, for the sake of confidentiality, cleared the Lei Gang's hometown thoroughly, leaving no trace at all. Everything was burned to the ground. Even the soldiers and staff who cleaned up the den did not know it was the Lei Gang, and only thought it was a den of unknown human traffickers.
Without evidence, Yu Zhongxian's irrefutable evidence will be difficult to overturn.
To be on the safe side, Lin Wen even sought help from [Immortal Guidance].
How can we refute Yu Zhongxian's testimony?
Consumption: 3912 good karma.
Lin Wen was delighted. Of course, he didn't have that much good karma. Even if he did, it didn't matter. Casting spells with good karma was a special case and was not considered his power.
That's why Lin Wen dared to talk nonsense. It didn't matter anyway.
I never thought that after all this, he could still survive! He could still survive for another month!
He had just said something nonsense and had not overturned the evidence at all, so why was this the result!
The nonsense he casually said couldn't be worth 3912 good karmas!
Those governors and high-ranking councillors, are you blind? Have you lost your conscience?
Can officials collude with heinous drug dealers and then discuss it again?
I collected 88 million in one go, can you bear it?
And, Yu Zhongxian, are you continuing your attack? Are you giving up now? Why aren't you saying anything?
If there is no opportunity, then forget it, but now it is clearly the final step, and the path to immortality is right in front of you.
But he was cut off in the middle, just like when the number one guy on the list was in love with the internet celebrity and her filter suddenly failed, or when he was about to roll in the sheets with the dream goddess he had been pursuing for a thousand years, the goddess's transformation into a girl failed.
That feeling is hard for any man to accept.
Lin Wen was extremely angry.
He shouted, "Objection!"
In the surprised eyes of everyone, he shouted: "I have more evidence!"
Without waiting for an answer, he immediately took out the treasure from the bottom of the box.
This was the evidence Qin Luoshuang had carefully collected that Lai Juncheng had sent assassins to attack Changshan County.
However, these evidences lack the most crucial link - how to prove that the assassin was sent under the instructions of the Council.
Qin Luoshuang told him frankly that it was basically useless, but now Lin Wen didn't care anymore and directly took out the evidence.
"This old dog."
Lin Wen pointed directly at Yu Zhongxian and said, "Fifteen days ago, Yu sent his secret forces, the Hands of the Council, to attack Changshan County, using sniper rifles, booby traps, and biochemical poison mist to assassinate me and other important officials of Changshan County!"
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.
The four elders examined each piece of evidence solemnly. All the governors focused their eyes on the big screen, but they were all looking at Sheng Huaixuan out of the corner of their eyes.
The meeting place on Capitol Hill seemed to have turned into a tomb, and the special members all looked like corpses, their faces pale.
In the dead silence, Yu Zhongxian slowly stood up, his face expressionless.
"very good."
His tone was calm, but it contained a strong murderous intent.
"It seems that Sheng Huaixuan has raised a good dog. Is he so eager to come up and bite me?"
Lin Wen shouted, "Come on! It's dog-eat-dog! Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
With a puff.
Yunzhou Governor Zhao Chaoyang choked on a mouthful of water and started coughing repeatedly.
Yu Zhongxian's face turned pale all of a sudden, and the officials of the Council of Review started to make a fuss, cursing Lin Wen for defying the empire and demanding that he be executed on the spot.
Lin Wen directly started arguing with them. As a former online angry young man, keyboard warrior, and king of online arguments, his technique of arguing with others had already been perfected to the highest level.
More than a dozen officials were scolded by Lin Wen alone and they were unable to resist. Some of them even fainted on the spot.
It took about ten minutes for the elder to finish reading all the evidence.
Elder Wang said, "Lin Wen, although your evidence is detailed, it only proves that you were assassinated. The assassins were highly skilled, skilled, and unscrupulous. However, it does not prove that they were General Yu's secret troops, nor does it prove that they were instructed by Yu Zhongxian."
As soon as the elder spoke, the meeting place immediately became quiet.
In the silence, Lin Wen replied, "The blood collected from the scene proves they've undergone biochemical modification and are not normal humans. As long as we thoroughly investigate the Supreme Council and find Yu Zhongxian's private troops, and compare their biology with theirs, we can prove it."
The four elders all shook their heads.
"No," Elder Wang said, "Without conclusive evidence, it's impossible to do what you say."
Elder Xu said, "This evidence has little to do with the charges against you. I don't think there's any need to proceed. Let's leave everything for the review in a month."
"Why is it okay? Why can't I do it?"
Lin Wen asked back.
"Everyone knows I'm a thorn in the side of the Supreme Council. He directly sent people to rebel during my meeting. After failing, why couldn't he get angry and send someone to assassinate me?"
"I can't say for sure, but there's at least a strong suspicion, right? The Supreme Council wants to prove its innocence, so why doesn't it allow a search? Yu Zhongxian said he didn't send those people, so why doesn't he reveal his private troops and do a biological comparison with the remaining blood samples?"
Everyone knows the reason, but no one can say it.
"Not only that, Changshan County was devastated by floods, leaving 300,000 people homeless. They've completely cut off all aid from the Empire! They've lost money, lost supplies, and even refused to send us food. When I asked why, the Council said the food wasn't hygienic enough and could cause infectious diseases, so they had to inspect it. They also said the food couldn't be proven to be of smuggled origin, and that the officials who purchased the food were suspected of corruption and needed to be investigated."
"A month later, the food was indeed rotten. They sent it back, claiming they'd audited it and found nothing amiss. But when we opened it, we saw a whole container of moldy rice, rotten vegetables, and rotting meat! That's 50 tons per container! They'd just wasted it! We questioned them, and their answer was that it was inevitable waste allowed by procedure!"
"I just want to ask, what procedure is more important than 300,000 lives?"
The meeting place was silent. Yu Zhongxian had a sneer on his face. He didn't say a word and didn't bother to defend himself.
Elder Cheng gestured to Lin Wen to stop talking, but Lin Wen paid no attention and said sternly:
"The Council is so unscrupulous, has no bottom line, and is so ruthless. Is this something the Empire allows?"
"If I hadn't happened to be here, Changshan County would have been in great distress. The Council could have taken the moral high ground and accused Sheng Huaixuan and a certain unfortunate Changshan County Governor of dereliction of duty and heinous crimes."
"Is this what a department whose responsibility it is to uphold the dignity of the law should do?"
"Attack at the cost of hundreds of thousands of lives!"
"Are there any normal humans here?"
"I advise you to be kind!"
Lin Wen roared.
"Civilians are not tools of your struggle!"
"Do you know that the empire is supported by countless common people? Your fine clothes, your fine horses, your food, your indulgences, are all the fat of countless common people! The Americans killed all the natives and even established a Thanksgiving Day! What about you?"
"You are digging up your own roots!"
"One day, the empire will fall, and everyone here will have a share!"
Bang!
One person slammed the table and stood up, speaking sternly.
"Imperial Guardian! Take him out!"
He was not any elder, but Sheng Huaixuan.
The imperial garrison commander appeared from an inconspicuous corner, bowed to the elder first, then hugged Lin Wen's arms on both sides, but Lin Wen broke free and walked out on his own.
"When will I wake up from this thousand-year-long dream? Who will ring the alarm bell in my sleeping place?"
As soon as he finished a line of poetry, Lin Wen was already outside the venue.
In the meeting hall, officials of the Supreme Council immediately launched a fierce attack on Lin Wen.
"Disrespect for the Empire!" "Disregard for dignity!" "Filthy language!" "Attempted rebellion!"
He yelled at the top of his lungs, enumerating Lin Wen's ten major crimes, wishing he could dismember him on the spot.
After the elders murmured for a moment, Elder Cheng coughed and said, "Lin Wen roared in defiance of the imperial authority. After consultation with the four elders, we unanimously agree that he must be severely punished. We have decided to deduct one month's salary from him and cancel all his bonuses for this year's achievements."
The officials of the council were overjoyed when they heard the first half of the sentence, and when they heard the second half, it perfectly interpreted what Sichuan Opera face-changing and the mask of pain were.
Only Yu Zhongxian looked indifferent, as if he was unmoved. Although it was a pity that he didn't kill the little beast, he was just a stepping stone. As long as the impeachment was not rejected, the impeachment would not be cancelled.
The highlight comes next.
Elder Ye said calmly, "Let's end it. This is just a small matter."
To the elders, the impeachment of the county governor would have been a trivial matter if it had not involved the governor. It was rare that it had lasted so long.
At this time, a servant came over carrying a red safe.
When they saw this thing, everyone's faces turned serious, even Yu Zhongxian changed his normal state and sat up straight.
The image of Capitol Hill on the large screen at the back quickly shrank, soon becoming a small dot, leaving behind a large gray blank.
Elder Cheng nodded slightly, and the attendant trotted off.
A moment later, a new signal came through.
Everyone except the four elders stood up.
The picture shows a very large and empty place. Everything here is extremely huge, like a giant's royal palace.
Gold is the main color here, supplemented by red and purple, making the entire venue look extremely noble and solemn.
This is the conference room of the Supreme Council of Elders, located on the 200th floor of the Emperor's Tower.
In the center of the conference room, there are eight huge throne-like chairs.
Four of them were empty, and four people were sitting on the other four.
Those are the other four elders of the Supreme Presbyterian Church.
Ren Zhengqing, leader of the capitalist party.
Liberal leader Rono.
Lin Yabo, leader of the Aristocratic Party.
Moshili, the leader of the Evolutionary Sect.
Including the four elders in the meeting hall, all the regular supreme rulers of the empire were present.
The gods descend.
In front of the complete supreme power of the empire, it seemed as if a domain was unfolding. All the elders had expressionless faces, neither sad nor happy, as if they were the gods of the empire who held the power of life and death.
All the officials, including Yu Zhongxian, half-knelt on the ground and chanted in unison: "Hail to the Empire! The Empire will last forever! For thousands of years! The glory will be immortal!"
The Governor's impeachment case officially begins.
