Chapter 350: County Magistrate Lin’s Man (Part 1)
Except for the officials accompanying the council, everyone looked at Lin Wen, the most suspicious person, with strange expressions.
The latter even acted a bit, then sang: "Ah - General Liu, who was selfless, impartial, honest, selfless, and upright, is gone just like that. How sad it is..."
"Bullshit!" a councilor shouted angrily, "You clearly killed him! How dare you assassinate the Supreme Council Chairman in public! You are lawless!"
Lin Wen sneered, "Which eye of yours saw me kill him? Chief Liu and I were only five or six meters apart, and I didn't even move my hands. How did I kill him? Come on, show me how."
The judge choked up: "Well, maybe it's some unknown method..."
"Right!" Lin Wen shouted, "You killed him using some unknown means. Look, your superior is dead, and you didn't even cry. Instead, you were overjoyed... It must have been you who killed him. You just hate him for blocking your path to promotion. Only with his death can you get a promotion!"
These words were too harsh, and the political supervisor was watching from the side. The reviewer had no choice but to symbolically cry a few times.
Lin Wen howled loudly, "Wuwuwuwuwu, Chief Liu, you died tragically—look, my voice is louder than yours, you must be the murderer…"
The logic is ridiculous, but within the Council, if you are betrayed, you will really die.
Thus, the world's first funeral ceremony officially began.
After all, these people are professionals. Once they get emotionally involved, they crush Lin Wen in an instant.
But Lin Wen still has a trick up his sleeve. Once his mind is opened, the third-rate young actor suddenly becomes a veteran actor.
Not only did he cry, he also gave a speech.
"Today, with deep sorrow, we mourn the passing of this great man. Let us turn our grief into strength, our sorrow into perseverance, carry on his legacy, continue forward in his footsteps, and comfort his soul in heaven..."
The sincerity of his expression and tone made the other officials of the council lose their confidence.
"Is Liu Aimin, the flatterer, really that good?"
"He really didn't kill her?"
Seeing Lin Wen going from bad to worse, crying bitterly as if his grandson had died, Sheng Huaixuan coughed and said, "Everyone, you have seen what happened at the scene. Let's quickly leave evidence to prove our innocence."
"As for the cause of Chief Liu's death, let's leave it to the professional autopsy department. I believe that the empire's judicial and law enforcement agencies will give us justice."
After hearing this, everyone came to their senses and quickly preserved evidence and cleaned up the scene.
The two political supervisors both had gloomy expressions, and were obviously very dissatisfied with what had happened. They recorded a large amount of video, audio and written evidence, and prepared to present it to the elders and His Majesty the Emperor when they returned.
The two envoys from the Ministry of Energy asked, “Director Han, do you have any questions?”
Han Zaiyin bowed deeply and said, "My Lords, this is a misunderstanding. Changshan County did not steal electricity."
The special envoy from the Ministry of Energy nodded and then went back to report.
Although the officials of the council were very angry, they could only go back in disgrace.
After everyone had gone back, Han Zaiyin came up with a complicated expression and said softly to Lin Wen, "Chief Lin, I will immediately lift the restrictions on Changshan County's power supply and install new power supply equipment and safeguards to ensure Changshan County's stable and safe power supply."
Lin Wen smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Director Han."
Han Zaiyin whispered: "Then this thread..."
Lin Wen said, "Don't tear it down. It took me a lot of effort to put it up. Just add an electric meter at the substation."
Han Zaiyin said repeatedly: "That's good, that's good..."
Lin Wen had no interest in the rest of the polite exchanges and became very smart.
After a moment, Han Zaiyin's depression disappeared, and he felt extremely relieved. He smiled and said, "If I had known this, I should have made friends with County Magistrate Lin. County Magistrate Lin is so kind and benevolent. He is not at all like the rumors that he is treacherous, cruel, evil, tyrannical and unkind."
The Seven-Apertured Heart said, "If someone in this world slanders me, deceives me, insults me, laughs at me, looks down on me, despises me, or hates me, how should I deal with it?"
Han Zaiyin was stunned: "This... of course it's a counterattack..."
Qiqiao Linglongxin smiled slightly: "Just tolerate him, let him be, let him be, avoid him, endure him, respect him, ignore him, wait a few more years, and you will see what happens."
A tiny golden light flashed before my eyes.
Life mentor, good karma +1.
Huh?
Is there such a good thing?
Han Zaiyin looked as if his whole life was illuminated by light. He was stunned for a while, and suddenly he sighed deeply, as if he was letting out all the anger that had been accumulated over the years.
"I'm a neutral person, I don't like to fight with others, but in the torrent of the empire, it's hard to stay out of it. I don't want to provoke others, but they come to provoke me. My heart is restless, and my mind is restless. There are many things in the world that are confusing, and it's hard to let go. In the rolling red dust, I will eventually become the person I hate."
"Hearing County Magistrate Lin's words this year, I realized that for years I had been worrying about nothing and my mind was wandering. If I had ignored those mundane matters and focused on my spiritual practice, perhaps I would have developed a 1600 kV ultra-high voltage transmission line."
He suddenly became high-spirited, full of energy and fighting spirit, and the vulgar aura left him.
"Now I understand. Those turbid currents will eventually clear up, and those villains will eventually get their comeuppance. I just need to stay independent and do my own research."
——
After Han Zaiyin left, only Sheng Huaixuan and officials from Dongqinzhou were left at the scene.
Sheng Huaixuan's expression was somewhat complicated, and he said, "Xiao Lin, do you really think so? Do you believe that as long as you tolerate and avoid it, everything in this world will be fine?"
Lin Wen smiled and said, "Governor Sheng, the dust won't go away unless you sweep it with a broom. What I said just now is based on the premise that he lives in a fair society where the society's ability to purify itself exceeds its ability to pollute."
Sheng Huaixuan glanced at him in surprise: "Then why did you still say that to him?"
Lin Wen scratched his head: "Maybe I can protect myself."
Sheng Huaixuan smiled.
"You are still the same as before, scheming. It's a pity that I am in the political situation and cannot help myself. Otherwise, I can really play with you."
Lin Wen suddenly became excited: "How do we play? Why don't you give me 100 first..."
The officials from Dongqin Prefecture not far away were glaring at them frantically. Sheng Huaixuan sighed slightly, "It seems that time is running out. I can only say a few words briefly."
His expression turned serious.
"You must be careful in the battle of Shizhou. The waters involved are much deeper than you think. It's best to just dabble in it. You can reap greater and risk-free benefits from the negotiation table."
"If you want to continue fighting, remember one thing: don't touch Shizhou's grain reserves. Jiangkou City is already in great danger."
"Changshan County's pillar industries are too obvious. It's best to develop universal, large-scale industries as soon as possible. This will greatly increase your society's stability and risk resistance."
Sheng Huaixuan suddenly smiled: "Of course, the above is just my personal suggestion. I won't be surprised by what a miracle kid like you does next."
Lin Wen said: "How about giving me 100 first..."
"Also." Sheng Huaixuan suddenly remembered something and added, "Don't offend everyone. Pulling one side against the other is always an unbreakable truth."
Lin Wen scratched his head: "What if they offend me?"
Sheng Huaixuan smiled and said, "You are such a perverse person, kid."
He walked up, patted his shoulder, put a note in his hand, and said softly, "This is Li Yuchen's phone number. Contact him when you have time."
"He missed you."
Come on, brother, what do you mean by giving me a man's phone number in a belt-pulling manner?
Lin Wen scratched the back of his head and put the note into his pocket.
"How about giving me 10 first..."
"Also." Sheng Huaixuan suddenly remembered something, "Linyue is a very good child. Although her thoughts are a bit biased, she is actually a good person. You can educate her."
Lin Wen was stunned. He seemed to have heard the name Lin Yue before, but he forgot who it was. He asked, "Are you rich?"
"Yes, of course."
"Okay, then, let her come."
When Sheng Huaixuan was about to say something, the imperial garrison troops had already arrived.
In the empire, the Supervisory Office is in charge of all criminal cases, but Liu Aimin is not an ordinary person.
His position was the highest council chairman, theoretically on the same level as Yu Zhongxian.
Although Yu Zhongxian was the chief candidate and had far more actual power than Liu Aimin, he was not one level higher in terms of official rank.
The Supreme Council President is a high-ranking official of the imperial level, half a level higher than the governor and three and a half levels higher than Lin Wen.
The Imperial Garrison Commander must intervene in the abnormal death of such a high-ranking official.
This is the Imperial Security Department directly under the Supreme Council. Many of their case materials will be presented directly to the Elders' Round Table.
When the man in the dragon-patterned military uniform appeared, Sheng Huaixuan's expression became cold, as if he didn't know Lin Wen, and he walked away from him.
The Imperial Garrison Commander took over the scene, began to follow the established procedures, and conducted brief inquiries with Lin Wen, Yun Zhixing and others.
"What were you doing when the deceased died?"
"Observe the murderer."
"Who is the murderer?"
"Other officers of the Council."
"Method of attack?"
"They took advantage of our unpreparedness and used the long-lost Six Meridians Divine Sword to pierce my beloved Chief Liu's throat. The needle went straight through his brain, piercing his skull. Woohoo, Chief Liu, you died miserably."
"...Okay, do you have anything to add?"
"After Chief Liu's death, they burst into laughter, saying they had finally cleared the biggest obstacle to their advancement. They could immediately ascend to the throne of Supreme Council President, overthrow Yu Zhongxian's rule, and become the new king of the Council."
The imperial garrison commander didn't want to talk anymore and turned away.
Lin Wen continued shouting from behind, "According to the principle of profit, whoever benefits the most is the murderer. Whoever takes over his position will definitely be the murderer!"
The Imperial Guard walked faster.
Lin Wen pouted.
"Never mind. It's so boring."
"I thought the Imperial Guardian was very powerful, but I didn't expect him to be just this good."
At this time, the site had been basically cleaned up, the bodies had been taken away, and the people gathered here had left one after another. Only mottled bloodstains remained on the ground, proving that a great battle had taken place here.
Yun Zhixing looked at the returning Lin Junzhang with a godlike gaze and murmured, "Sure enough, sure enough, this is the kind of man the Master would be interested in... I have to work harder too... I want to be Lin Junzhang's man, too."
"Go back, what are you still standing there for?"
Lin Wen sat in the passenger seat of Yun Zhixing's off-road vehicle. He could actually run back, but he had to think about the problem now.
"Oh, yes."
Lin Wen slapped his head and almost forgot that there was still a tail to be dealt with.
"There's no need to defend this point anymore. Let's withdraw all the brothers. The fallen brothers must be properly buried and their funeral arrangements handled properly... In addition to material compensation, they should also be awarded some medals of honor."
"Hmm... For those who sacrificed their lives to protect our cause, we will issue a medal uniformly. We'll use a gold and silver alloy, with a sword and a large shield in the shape of a medal, symbolizing that you killed the enemy with your sword and protected Changshan County with your shield. The names of the fallen will be engraved on the back."
"Making the sacrifices known is the most basic requirement for an ideal organization."
Yun Zhixing was so moved that she almost cried. This man was not only super strong, but also super gentle.
Really, he now felt strongly that only this kind of man was worthy of his master.
