Chapter 349 You Died Tragically (Part 3)
"Active treason!"
Yu Zhongxian's number one confidant, Liu Aimin, who was one of the highest council chairmen, saw the corpses all over the ground at a glance.
The private armed squadron sent by the Council was completely wiped out, including the three giant squadrons mixed in it.
It seems that not many people died on the other side.
The intact high-voltage lines in the distance are still transmitting electricity that does not belong to Changshan County.
But what instantly brightened his gloomy face was that the mayor of Changshan County was actually here.
The county governor personally led the armed forces to violently resist the law!
The biggest crime instantly came to Liu Aimin's mind.
Actual treason!
If this charge is proven, it will definitely remove the thorn that has been stuck in the Council's throat for a long time!
Generally speaking, the highest official will never be present in person when there are violations of laws and regulations. This is an iron rule.
There are a million ways to get away with any crime as long as you weren't there.
But today, the county governor actually broke this iron rule.
He is indeed a young boy who knows nothing.
Liu Aimin was overjoyed, his face flushing red as if he were about to orgasm in public. He pointed at Lin Wen and roared, "Everyone saw this. This isn't just the Council slandering us. On-site testimony shows that the Changshan County Magistrate maliciously stole electricity, refused to comply with rectification, violently armed himself in resistance to the law, and indiscriminately killed innocent people. His crimes are unforgivable! He should be shot on the spot!"
He shouted, "Guards! Fire!"
Countless black gun muzzles were pointed at Lin Wen. Yun Zhixing's heart was in turmoil, but no one fired a shot.
Sheng Huaixuan put down his raised hand and said with a smile: "Chief Liu, don't be anxious, the matter still needs to be discussed."
Liu Aimin said angrily, "The facts are clearly before our eyes. What else is there to discuss?"
Han Zaiyin, director of the General Administration of Electric Power, had a gloomy face. He was extremely troubled by this mess.
Originally, he had no connection with Changshan County and had no connection with the Council of Advocates.
But suddenly one day, the Council bribed him with a large sum of money and asked him to do a small favor and prohibit Changshan County from expanding its electricity demand.
Han Zaiyin agreed in a moment of infatuation, thinking that Changshan County was the place where people were so poor that they couldn't even afford to wear pants.
What electricity can they ask for?
The Council is really generous. They gave such a valuable gift for such a small matter. It would be a shame not to accept it.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the power was cut off, Changshan County directly connected a line from the main power transmission line in central China.
This is stolen electricity, and no one has claimed it. The electricity bill of nearly one million a day can only be deducted from the funds of the Electricity Directorate General.
Who can withstand this?
Han Zaiyin quickly found the source of the theft, which was located in the wilderness of Changshan County in the west of Dongqin Prefecture. However, when he went to remove the wires, he was obstructed by Dongqin Prefecture.
Dongqinzhou required them to provide various documents and approvals, which was extremely troublesome. Even connecting the Emperor Tower to electricity wouldn't be this troublesome.
After finally getting everything together, they said their certification documents were forged and asked them to prove their innocence.
They were forced to prove their innocence, but the documents were replaced with fake ones by the review authorities.
A group of official officials from the imperial state-owned enterprises department were locked up as fake officials who were committing fraud.
Han Zaiyin had to contact the Governor of Dongqinzhou in person, but it was so difficult to get a chance to meet him.
After all this trouble, the money I lost was several times more than the gifts I received.
In desperation, Han Jae-eun had to report the incident as a major violation of the law. Unexpectedly, the review committee immediately swam over like a shark smelling blood.
Han Zaiyin had no choice but to agree to cooperate.
The Council of Review quickly made a big fuss about this matter. Han Zaiyin was tied to the chariot and couldn't get off, so he had to go with the flow and come to Dong Qinzhou with the Council of Review to seek justice.
But I didn't expect the council to go so far.
They took advantage of this opportunity and secretly infiltrated a private army. While they were negotiating, they went straight to the electricity theft point, intending to kill first and report later.
At this time, Han Zaiyin had already understood the situation in Changshan County.
This is obviously a terrifying vortex in the empire. Changshan County's electricity consumption is an imperial project. Now that the power is cut off, all the losses and consequences will be blamed on him.
Han Jae-in was completely furious. The council treated him like a piece of paper and threw him away after use.
“I think it needs to be discussed.”
Han Zaiyin said coldly.
"We still don't know what the situation is. Maybe Changshan County is innocent?"
Liu Aimin was speechless for a moment: "Okay, okay, let him come. I want to see what nonsense that little beast can come up with."
He glanced at the expressionless officials behind him.
"The Imperial Supervisory Council's political supervisor and the Imperial Ministry of Energy's special envoy are also here."
Sheng Huaixuan said with a pleasant face, "Chief Lin, please come over here."
Just like that, Lin Wen walked over.
This was his second formal meeting with the legendary Governor of Dongqinzhou after he was promoted to county chief.
Just like last time, he hadn't changed much. He still had a serious expression and a bright look, and his every word and action revealed his authority.
In contrast, the middle-aged man standing next to him was timid, his eyes were wandering, and he looked listless, with anger and helplessness hidden in his expression.
The guy on the far right is frivolous, arrogant, and ignorant, and is the least worth mentioning.
As soon as Lin Wen came over, this flamboyant fellow shouted, "Lin Wen, the governor of Changshan County, do you admit your guilt?"
Lin Wen used his [Aura Observation] to take a look at the dark-skinned fellow and sneered, "A monster from the Council?"
The guy immediately became furious: "Are you looking for death?"
Lin Wendao: "How do you know?"
The man cursed angrily, "You little bastard, you bastard! How can you be a high-ranking official in the Empire with your qualities? You don't even understand the hierarchy of status. I think there's no need to try such a rude person. Just execute him on the spot."
A gleam of light flashed in Lin Wen's eyes, and he was about to draw the sword from his waist, but the wretched man came out and saved his life.
"Tell me, County Chief Lin, what happened here? You are the first witness and you should know clearly."
This is a very insightful statement, meaning that he is the first witness of what happened and he has the final say.
The guy, however, showed no appreciation and lashed out, "Han Jae-eun! What do you mean? He's the criminal, so how can his confession be trusted? Don't forget you've been indebted to the Council... Those who turn their backs on others will die without a burial place."
Han Zaiyin's face turned completely dark in an instant. His lips moved, but when he thought of the horror of the Council of Review, he still couldn't say anything.
Sheng Huaixuan said calmly, "Chief Liu, you're too excited. Even if someone is a criminal, they're allowed to speak in court. Besides, it's not certain whether County Magistrate Lin is a criminal or not."
The two supervisors stepped forward and said, "Governor Sheng is right."
The Political Supervisor is a special official affiliated with the Imperial Political Supervisory Council.
The Imperial Council of Political Supervisors is the most popular institution in the Empire recently. The reason is that they are now allowed to participate in the votes of the elders, that is, the ministers' votes or the governors' votes.
If the Supreme Council holds an enlarged meeting, they will have the right to vote and can decide major affairs of the empire or the stay or departure of high-ranking officials of the empire.
Therefore, the Imperial Political Supervisory Council, which had been wandering on the edge of the empire and had no real power, suddenly became extremely powerful.
The political supervisor also changed from an invisible person who was ignored by everyone to an imperial envoy who was feared by the bureaucrats.
So when the Supervisor spoke, everyone fell silent.
"Chief Lin, please explain. We will record the scene and take notes."
Several people accompanying him took out recorders and recording paper.
The two special envoys from the Ministry of Energy also stated, "Violent resistance to the law is a very serious act, especially since so many people have died. General Liu's words do make sense. If there is no proper justification, it is treason, and all powers must be stripped away and executed on the spot. Even the military governorship is no exception."
Chief Liu beamed with joy, saying repeatedly, "That's right, both gentlemen are right. You little bastard, hurry up and start quibbling. I want to see how you explain your violent resistance to the law and the killing of innocent people."
Lin Wen was getting a little impatient. He still had to deal with the internal affairs of Changshan County. There was still a war going on on the front line of Shizhou, and the settlement of good karma was coming soon. He had no time to waste here.
He said directly: "Idiot, which eye of yours saw me violently resisting the law and killing innocent people?"
Chief Liu sneered, "Do you think playing rogue will work? Did you kill all those people on the ground?"
"yes."
"Then what else is there to say..."
Lin Wen sneered, "What does killing them have to do with violent resistance to the law? Do they have the power to enforce the law? Are they law enforcement officers? Which department or official in the empire are they from? What qualifications do they have to enforce the law?"
"They are the judges..."
Halfway through his words, Liu Aimin was stunned.
He suddenly realized that he had made a mistake in the situation. In certain situations, the Council was the law and the rules.
But this is not the case in front of the imperial high-ranking officials, especially the political supervisors representing the Supreme Council.
They still have to be reasonable.
And these people who were killed in front of us did not have the power to enforce the law. They were just the private soldiers of the Council, and they even had biological weapons that were openly banned by the Empire.
Lin Wen sneered.
"They have no law enforcement credentials, yet they attack the Empire's electricity supply, intending to destroy the Empire's munitions factories and prevent the Empire from achieving victory in the war."
Lin Wen stretched out his hand, pointed at Liu Aimin's nose and cursed:
"They are thugs, spies, and traitors. They are committing treason. They should be stripped of all power and executed on the spot. The Council should not be exempted!"
Liu Aimin's face quickly turned red, like a rotten tomato.
Lin Wen kept saying "they", but he was actually pointing his finger at him and cursing him. It was more than just cursing someone else, it was actually cursing someone else.
"You, you fart, you bastard, stop farting..."
Lin Wen interrupted his illogical rant with a sharp voice, "Does what I say make no sense? Everyone, come with me and see what this power supply project is all about? It was commissioned by the Supreme Council itself. And what are they producing? The artillery shells the Empire desperately needs."
"How dare you interfere with the Supreme Council's project? Do you despise the Supreme Council? Are you planning a rebellion?"
Liu Aimin's face turned red and white, and he was speechless.
Lin Wen turned around and angrily scolded the wretched man, "You're that Director of the Electricity Department, right? Are you mentally retarded? The Council told you to ration power, so you did. Couldn't you investigate? Do you realize the ditch they've led you into?"
Han Zaiyin had already regretted it immensely. He turned around abruptly and shouted, "Two political supervisors, two special envoys, I admit it, I confess."
"I was stupid and greedy. I didn't know Changshan County had an empire project. I accepted bribes from the Council. They were the ones who did all this. They ordered me to restrict Changshan County's electricity consumption and they ordered me to sue Changshan County. I didn't intend to do this at all..."
Liu Aimin said angrily: "Idiot, you've been cheated..."
Han Zaiyin interrupted him directly: "I don't care whether it's a lie or not. I don't want to get involved in your struggle. You fight to the death every day and it has nothing to do with me. Don't drag me into it. I just want to do my own thing..."
"good!"
Sheng Huaixuan immediately applauded.
"Director Han is honest and commendable. He admits his mistakes and corrects them. He is a good person. I will definitely protect Director Han at the Supreme Council."
Han Zaiyin said gratefully, "Thank you, Governor Sheng."
Liu Aimin fell silent.
The two political supervisors and the two special envoys ignored him and ordered their followers to clean up the bodies and collect evidence.
A young political supervisor sorted out the conversation record and read it through. He felt it was both funny and infuriating. He said calmly, "Take care of yourself, Chief Liu."
Liu Aimin suddenly flew into a rage, pointing his finger at the supervisor's nose and cursing, "You think you're so great? You dog! If it weren't for the emperor backing you up, you wouldn't even be fit to lick my shoes!"
"Do you think you're a messenger of justice? I'm telling you, this world has no room for a bunch of childish fools like you. Don't be proud of yourself now, one day, you'll die without a burial place!"
"And you too!"
His mouth was full of saliva and he twirled his fingers in a big circle.
"You spineless bastards from the Electric Power Department, you bastards from Changshan County, just wait, you're all going to die a miserable death..."
Kah.
A steel needle was inserted into his throat, pierced upwards, and flew out from the top of his head.
Blood mixed with brain matter splattered out, and Liu Aimin stared at him with his cow-like eyes, as if he couldn't believe that he was dead like this.
Bang!
The body fell.
Kill demons and monsters, good karma +31.
Lin Wen was the first to scream, "Ah! Dear General Liu, you died so tragically! There are assassins! Go and catch them! They killed our beloved General Liu! Wuu ...
