Chapter 164 Elders and Governor
Qin Luoshuang's support was ineffective, and Mingzhou entered a state of emergency at the first moment. A large number of imperial soldiers blocked the entire Huli area and strictly investigated all suspicious elements.
Mingzhou Governor Ge Guanglin mobilized the army and surrounded the entire town. The private soldiers of Yuanhua Group confronted the imperial soldiers nervously.
Until a helicopter with a pagoda crown printed on it landed.
A team of attendants in gorgeous clothes came down from the helicopter, spread a gorgeous carpet on the wilderness, sprayed perfume and flower petals in the air, and two attendants knelt side by side under the helicopter door. Then, a pair of golden and red boots stepped on the attendant's back, followed by a golden and red robe and a golden cane inlaid with rubies.
The empire elder Lin Yabo slowly walked down from the helicopter.
Ge Guanglin bowed and saluted: "Welcome, Elder."
Nearly ten thousand imperial soldiers behind him half-knelt in unison: "Welcome, Elder! The Empire will live forever, for thousands of generations, and its glory will be immortal!"
Elder Lin Yabo nodded slightly, and everyone stood up.
Ge Guanglin stepped forward and said, "Elder Lin, the Yuanhua Group's private armed forces have far exceeded the scope permitted by the empire. I can no longer cover up such a serious incident. I hope Elder Lin will understand."
Elder Lin looked at him, his thin, wrinkled face showing neither sadness nor joy, like a statue with too many carving strokes.
A moment later.
He said: "I can disband the Yuen Wah Group's private armed forces, I can hand over their contraband equipment, and I can even give the Yuen Wah Group to you."
Ge Guanglin looked at him with an unclear expression in his eyes, but there was no fear or surprise at all.
Elder Lin's expression remained unchanged as he said, "However, at the next Supreme Council, you must support the aristocracy, the division of classes based on bloodline, and the legalization of slavery and human trafficking."
Silence flowed between the two of them, as if an invisible confrontation was going on between them.
Elder Lin stood on the crimson carpet and Governor Ge stood on the wasteland, which seemed to be a comparison of their status.
After a moment, Governor Ge spoke first.
"good."
His voice was a little hoarse and his expression was a little gloomy.
Elder Lin's cold expression did not change at all. After receiving the answer, he turned and walked towards the helicopter. The two attendants were still kneeling there.
Ge Guanglin suddenly shouted, "The border checkpoint found the body of the smuggler next to the highway. The minibus the killer was riding in came from Changshan County! It passed through Dongqinzhou and Zhongzhou!"
Elder Lin did not respond. He stepped on the servant's back and boarded the helicopter.
Soon, the helicopter took off.
Ge Guanglin waved his hand and said, "Hain, order the troops to open up the west and let them go."
A general with a slightly funny face, a high forehead and hairline stood at attention and saluted: "Yes, Governor-General!"
Mingzhou's second-in-command, State Government Director Ge Guangpei, asked softly, "Are you sure it's a Li-Man-class super-powerful combat unit?"
Ge Guanglin remained silent. Lin Jiaxin, the fourth-ranked official and the head of the Internal Affairs Department of the Governor-General's Office, replied, "Judging from the damage caused, it's highly likely. Furthermore, they were equipped with unknown advanced weapons, and the number of people involved is unknown."
Ge Guangpei looked slightly puzzled. "That sounds like the kind of warfare the Supreme Council or Elder Mo would advocate. But isn't their strongest biochemical unit a Level 2? The Level 4 is only on paper. Why are there suddenly an unknown number of fully mature Liman-class combat units?"
Lin Jiaxin said calmly: "No one said it was them."
Ge Guangpei was surprised and asked, "Who is that? Sheng Huaixuan? Wang Bo'an? It can't be that little county magistrate who hits people with a big hammer, right?"
No one answered this question.
——
The day after Lin Wen returned to the county, the county government received a notice from the imperial headquarters:
The headquarters meeting is held in advance, and local officials are required to go to Shenjing immediately and are not allowed to delay the meeting.
The department meeting was supposed to be held a month later, but it was suddenly held ahead of schedule, which disrupted many of Qin Luoshuang's subordinates. Many of her tasks were only half done, and she could not leave Changshan County.
Qin Luoshuang originally wanted to select some people she trusted to accompany Lin Wen to the meeting, but after Yun Zhixing learned about this, he thought it was an excellent opportunity.
He immediately went to see County Chief Lin. Lin Wen didn't care and agreed casually, but was immediately rejected by Qin Luoshuang.
Yun Zhixing immediately brought up County Chief Lin, but Qin Luoshuang called him immediately.
"Oh, fine, you arrange it, just arrange it."
As soon as the loudspeaker phone was hung up, Yun Zhixing's face turned pale, but he was unwilling to lose this opportunity to observe the masculinity of County Chief Lin up close.
As a last resort, he used his long-treasured trick.
They are shameless, coaxing and even committing suicide by cutting their wrists.
Qin Luoshuang kicked away the knife that had already cut into her flesh and sighed, "Alright, go ahead."
Yun Zhixing was immediately overjoyed and full of energy. He took ten crows with him and set off with Lin Wen.
Qin Luoshuang urgently prepared all the information to deal with the possible attacks.
She had a bad feeling that the meeting was brought forward because of Lin Wen.
Before leaving, Qin Luoshuang instructed, "Let me just say a few words."
"This headquarters meeting is a regular meeting of the Imperial Headquarters. The Imperial Headquarters is currently focusing on Imperial affairs. If you handle it properly, you can gain a lot of benefits."
"So, this time is both a danger and an opportunity."
"You must restrain yourself this time. You were just kicked out of the Dongzhou faction. Now you don't even have a faction. You don't have any imperial-level officials to back you up. On the contrary, you have imperial-level enemies."
"Shenjing is the center of power in the empire. Anyone you meet on the street could be a relative of a high-ranking official."
"The situation in Changshan County is actually very dangerous right now. We are still hanging in the air and haven't landed yet. You must not offend anyone anymore. We are already under enough pressure."
These two simple sentences lasted for over an hour. Even Yun Zhixing couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted:
"Stop talking, stop talking. Who can remember all that? Let's go, County Chief Lin."
Lin Wen was taken into the special car, and the group also got in and left.
Only Qin Luoshuang was left with her fists clenched, determined to give Yun Zhixing a good beating when he came back.
Shenjing is located in the east of the empire, more than a thousand kilometers away from Changshan County.
Lin Wen and his group first went to Danyangdu, the capital of Dongqinzhou, and then took a plane and arrived at Shenjing International Airport before dark.
Since an air ban was implemented within the Fifth Ring Road of Shenjing, Shenjing International Airport was built in the suburbs. After Lin Wen and his party got off the plane, they drove into the city.
Shenjing is the empire's largest metropolis, covering an area of 76,000 square kilometers and a permanent population of 68 million. All the important departments and power institutions of the empire are located here, and its level of development is second to none.
But around the capital, there are large slums, and poor people and beggars in tattered clothes can be seen everywhere.
When the special car passed the Yinshui Bridge, everything changed. Skyscrapers and neon lights came into view, and everything modern was colorful, as if we had suddenly traveled from ancient times to modern times.
Lin Wen has experienced this feeling many times. The development of the empire is too distorted, the gap between the rich and the poor is huge, and the development levels between regions also vary greatly.
The imperial headquarters is within the zero ring line of Shenjing.
This is a specific area. In order to show its supreme status, an area was specially demarcated in the middle of a ring line as the core of the core of the empire.
The first thing Lin Wen saw was the 646-meter-high Emperor Tower in the middle of the Zero Ring Line.
It was a huge monster, towering in the night sky, with no other building reaching half its height.
The Imperial Headquarters is located west of the Zero Ring Road. It is a large building complex with a huge regular pentagonal building in the center.
"That's the central building of the Imperial Headquarters, the main office area for each department."
Yun Zhixing said.
Yun Zhixing kept talking to him along the way, but Lin Wen was basically in a drowsy state.
After arriving at the guesthouse at the imperial headquarters, Lin Wen fell asleep.
It was not until he woke up the next day and saw that his soul had recovered to 25% that Lin Wen breathed a sigh of relief.
But this can only protect himself, he originally wanted to cause trouble.
As soon as he woke up, Yun Zhixing brought him a bowl of oatmeal porridge, an egg and a glass of milk, and personally helped him wash up.
Lin Wen felt something was wrong and said, "Don't get too close to me. A man should act like a man."
Yun Zhixing's eyes flashed with a terrifying light for a moment, and he asked, "What should a man be like?"
Lin Wen thought this person might have some mental problems, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He was thinking about his grand plan and replied casually:
"Of course, it is the courage to face all difficulties without fear, the perseverance to never give up despite setbacks, and the faith to never despair despite all darkness."
“That’s right!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Zhixing suddenly became excited and shouted.
"You're absolutely right, this is what a man should be like!"
"How can I give up because of a little difficulty?"
"She doesn't love me, it must be because I haven't done enough! As long as I'm not afraid, don't give up, don't despair, and move forward courageously, I will definitely have a bright future!"
Yun Zhixing, who had regained his confidence in an instant, was filled with gratitude towards Lin Wen. He immediately got into work mode and said:
"Chief Lin, our headquarters meeting will begin this afternoon. Let's go visit the chief officers first."
Lin Wen agreed. He remembered Qin Luoshuang saying that it seemed possible to get some benefits from these chief officers.
So, Yun Zhixing accompanied Lin Wen out of the guesthouse. The imperial headquarters building was not far away.
The decoration here is quite retro, with grey brick streets, fountains, benches, and classically decorated street lamps. Although it looks ordinary, it is the greatest luxury in the Zero Ring Road where every inch of land is valuable.
