Chapter 289 Emperor Lin Wen Can’t Come
As soon as Lin Wen got off the plane, he was surrounded by a large number of imperial garrisons. These top guards belonging to the Supreme Council escorted him into the Emperor's Tower.
Lin Wen was very happy with this kind of treatment. It proved that the empire was very angry and would definitely not let it go unpunished.
This is also conceivable. After all, there is a war going on outside, and the Supreme Council has repeatedly stressed the need for stability and no internal strife. Lin Wen turned around and gave them a big blow, pressing the Great Elder's face to the ground and rubbing it.
The Great Elder was being polite by not sending troops to kill him directly.
The hall on the first floor of the Emperor's Tower is extremely spacious and luxurious, with every structure on this floor made of polished marble.
It was the first time for Lin Wen to walk in here. The bright light reflected in the vast space, making this place look like a paradise. There was even an angel walking out.
She was like a ball of light, attracting every inch of light here. She was so dazzling that the space nearby seemed to darken.
Every guard bowed to her, even the imperial garrison commander behind Lin Wen was no exception.
She was wearing an intricate court dress, and every pleat on the dress looked like an angel's feather.
Although there was no decoration at all, it looked like a ball of fluffy light, dancing softly with her steps.
In this way, the designer arrogantly shows everyone the splendor of minimalism.
To match this long dress, all her jewelry was made of crystal or diamonds, and bright light bloomed from every part of her body. She had the same white jade and ice crystal skin as Qin Luoshuang, and the same breathtaking beauty, but her temperament was more noble, while Qin Luoshuang's temperament was more cold.
Lin Wen glanced at her and thought, "A mortal."
Just as he was about to turn his head, he suddenly woke up: "No, I haven't reincarnated yet."
He turned his eyes and took a closer look, thinking, "Looking at this posture, this must be the legendary first princess, right?"
Although he wanted to die right there, he still had to put on a struggle.
If he thinks from the perspective of a county governor on trial, then at this time he should try to find someone powerful to support him and strive to unite all the forces that can be united.
Lin Wen raised his hand and greeted her: "Hey, hello, beautiful."
The First Princess didn't even glance at him, and the followers behind her all had sneers on their faces and were disdainful of talking to him.
Lin Wen opened his Seven Apertures Heart and heard it shout, "Peerless in grace, the sun and moon eclipse the light, the Holy Lord of the world, you are none other than yourself."
The First Princess paused for a moment, but immediately walked forward again, as if she had no reaction to his words.
The followers behind him stopped sneering and their faces fell. They cast hostile glances at Lin Wen and followed the princess away.
"County Governor Lin, let's go." An imperial garrison commander behind him said politely.
But wherever his sight went, the strengthened [Phoenix without Body] immediately sounded the alarm, like a blazing ray sweeping across his back.
"It's very dangerous."
Lin Wen thought happily that if things didn't work out, he could just execute the second plan and die on the spot.
There are as many as thirty elevators in the two-hundred-story Emperor Tower. The Imperial Guardian hugged Lin Wen and walked to the last elevator.
This elevator had no decorations at all, and was completely different from the previous glamorous and cheap one inlaid with gold and jade, making it look extremely unusual.
The elevator has no buttons and no floor display. Once you get on it, it goes straight up.
When the elevator door opened again, he saw a hall inlaid with white jade. The imperial garrison commander took him upstairs.
Obviously, the last few floors are to be walked.
On the first floor, Lin Wen unexpectedly met Yu Zhongxian from the Council of Review.
This guy's aura was like a black hole, extremely conspicuous. Qiqiao Linglongxin greeted him in a friendly manner, and he actually smiled back.
If you didn't know, you would think they were friends for many years.
Lin Wen thought to himself, "Is this because the Seven Apertures Heart is too powerful?"
He was also a little worried. What if this thing was overused and the Great Elder suddenly thought that he was a pillar of the empire and a talent among humans?
I wanted to shut it down, but I was afraid of being suspected of committing suicide intentionally.
While he was hesitating, he met another elder on the second floor, who was Ye Nantian, the father of Super Aquaman Ye Lingyue.
Qiqiao Linglongxin greeted him in a friendly manner, but he snorted coldly and whispered as he passed by Lin Wen, "If I see you bothering Lingyue again, I will kill you."
On the third floor, I met another elder, Xu Chengguo, the leader of the Yaojing faction.
Qiqiao Linglongxin also greeted him in a friendly manner, but his attitude was very good. He smiled and whispered, "Chief Lin, rest assured."
Lin Wen suddenly panicked. What was going on?
What does this mean? Does he know anything?
Just when he was feeling uneasy, another old acquaintance came over. It was Sheng Huaixuan's close ally, Elder Cheng Wei.
Qiqiao Linglongxin greeted him in the same way for the fourth time, but Elder Cheng looked extremely depressed and angry. In contrast to his friendly attitude towards him in the joint meeting, he seemed extremely hostile.
He lowered his voice and said, "Boy, have you seen my son Cheng Xiaoguo?"
Qiqiao Linglongxin answered directly: "I don't know Elder Chengzhang. I have never seen him."
Elder Cheng looked at him with suspicion and hatred in his eyes. After a moment, he said coldly, "Boy, don't try to lie to me. If I find out that my son's death is related to you, you're dead."
Lin Wen was panicking and had no time to pay attention to his threats. He followed the Imperial Guard's steps forward and came to a huge metal door.
There were still many people filing out, and it seemed that they were of high official rank.
Obviously, the meeting here must have just ended. No wonder we met so many elders and princesses along the way.
"County Governor Lin, please." The Imperial Garrison Commander bowed and said.
Lin Wen stepped through the crack in the door and saw a huge conference room that was much larger than the hall on the first floor.
The conference room is circular, somewhat like the Roman Colosseum.
But everything here is extremely huge, as if we have come to the kingdom of giants.
The entire venue is dominated by gold, red and purple, appearing extremely solemn and noble.
In the middle was a huge round table, and next to the table were eight huge chairs, all of which were empty.
At the east end of the round table, there is a platform with five chairs, four of which are slightly lower and one is slightly higher.
Four elderly men sat on four lower chairs. They should be the legendary rulers among the supreme rulers of the empire: the four great elders.
A middle-aged man was sitting on a slightly higher chair. There was a vague shadow of the First Princess in his eyebrows and eyes, and he even looked a bit like that sticky Li Yuchen.
Lin Wen suddenly realized, "You're Li Yuchen's father? Holy shit, that guy is the prince?"
The four old men all had expressionless faces, only the middle-aged man smiled slightly, appearing very kind.
"Lin Wen, the empire has had no crown prince for 180 years. Now there is only the crown prince."
Lin Wenwei felt a little disappointed: "So that's how it is. I thought if I had learned from Cao Cao earlier and used the prince as a hostage to control the princes, Changshan County would have taken off sooner..."
"Shut up!" an emcee shouted sternly, "No rudeness in front of the Great Elder!"
Eyes were cast from all directions, and Lin Wen was alarmed. However, he was actually happy in his heart. However, he also secretly warned himself not to go too far, lest he commit suicide.
After opening his Seven Apertures Heart again, Lin Wen seemed like a different person in an instant. Under the guidance of the master of ceremonies, he meticulously completed the audience etiquette with the supreme ruler of the empire.
Of course, this meticulousness is limited to facial expressions, neck, and speech. Lin Wen's hands and feet seem to be growing on another person's body. His movements are clumsy and his words are inadequate.
The four great elders all had a much lower opinion of the county chief, and only His Majesty the Emperor looked at him with interest.
Then, the Imperial Inspector stepped forward and began to accuse Lin Wen.
The Imperial Supervisory Commissioner is affiliated with the Imperial Supervisory Council, which is an independent supervisory department outside the Council, and is responsible only for imperial officials, including the Council.
It is the supervisory department of the supervisory department.
Therefore, it has always been a place of contention among various forces.
However, Li Longxing has now strengthened the power of the Imperial Political Supervisory Council on the grounds that the Council can restrain the Council and maintain the balance of the empire, and has promoted many newcomers to become Imperial Political Supervisors.
The political supervisor in front of him was a young man of similar age to Lin Wen.
Although he was young, he was not immature at all. His words were fair and calm, without any bias. He listed the crimes and evidence that Shizhou accused Lin Wen of, one by one, clearly and concisely.
Lin Wen was greatly disappointed after hearing this. The evidence did not seem sharp at all and was far inferior to the original accusations of the review council.
"You're so incompetent, why don't you just hand it over to the council? Let the professionals handle it."
After the prosecutor finished speaking, the Shizhou envoy spoke on behalf of the Shizhou Governor.
"Please ask the Governor of Changshan Commandery, Lin Wen, to answer the first question. Why did you lead your troops to attack Shizhou? You robbed the people and plundered their food."
Lin Wen sneered, "How could you have seen me leading troops into Shizhou?"
The envoy's face flushed red. He pointed at the photos and videos and said sternly, "The evidence is irrefutable! You won't be able to argue!"
Lin Wen didn't even bother to look at him: "The person in the photo is the Golan Renaissance Party. What does it have to do with Changshan County?"
The envoy immediately pulled out a photo of the cargo ship and asked, "Then explain to me why the looted goods and captured soldiers of the Golan Renaissance Party appeared at the docks of Changshan County?"
"Please." Lin Wen said in a tone of disapproval, "Can't I just take advantage of a little? Can't I sell the stolen goods?"
The envoy was furious at the pressure: "You are talking nonsense!"
"Silence!" the master of ceremonies shouted, "How can you shout and yell in front of the Great Elder?!"
The envoy was like a chicken with its neck pinched, unable to make a sound.
That’s it?
Lin Wen was extremely disappointed. With this level of skill, he dared to fight against him, the keyboard warrior who was invincible with just a "keyboard"?
The intensity of his online trolling was a century beyond theirs. The aftermath alone was enough to wipe out such a small pawn.
Give me some strength, big brother.
After discussing for a while, the envoy and his followers regrouped and launched another attack on Lin Wen.
But if you just dwell on some minor details, and the main premise is not true, it will be useless no matter how badly you praise the invaders.
Lin Wen was too lazy to speak and handed over the evidence prepared by Qin Luoshuang.
In addition to a large number of alibis, the evidence also contained more content attacking Seokju's greed, corruption, darkness, cruelty, indiscriminate killing, and incompetent management. Among them, the most important one was:
In order to obtain gold, Shizhou sold grain to the Papal States.
If he bites back, the charges will be extremely serious.
The envoy was suddenly panicked.
When the empire was short of food, Shizhou, faced with the grain collection from the Supreme Council, delayed paying and even sold grain to foreign countries.
This is not a good idea. It will lead to suspicion of collusion with outsiders and he will lose his position as governor.
Due to the rebellion of Zezhou Governor Wu Jingtang, the empire was extremely sensitive to the issue of governor rebellion.
The most important thing is that the envoy didn't know whether this was true or not. In fact, he vaguely thought that it was very likely to be true.
However, there is something worse.
Not long after the questioning began, the Imperial Broadcasting and Communications Bureau sent an interrupting message to the Supreme Council.
"The Golan Renaissance Party claimed responsibility for the attack on Imperial Stone State and released a detailed battle plan and some combat footage."
"The Imperial Foreign Affairs Office sent us a letter asking about this. How should we respond?"
It's over.
The envoy felt a chill in his heart.
It's over.
Lin Wen felt a chill in his heart.
