Chapter 365 Why Don’t You Give It to Me?
Lin Wen quickly understood how this magical power worked, it would advance in the way you imagined to predict your possible fate.
Just now he imagined the heroic image of throwing everything away, rushing into the Emperor's Tower and killing everyone, and then dying of exhaustion. However, [Luan Zhaoshui] directly told him that this was suicide.
This was of course suicide, Lin Wen knew it very well.
Because apart from committing suicide, he had no reason or interest in doing this.
Lin Wen has done a very thorough research on the cause of death. He must have a strong main reason to do this. This main reason must be to benefit the people and fulfill his duty as the county governor to protect the people. Otherwise, it will not be a perfect reincarnation.
If he still wants to have three in one, he must adopt someone he truly considers as his or her child as his or her adopted son or daughter.
Of course, he hasn't confirmed this yet.
Now, with [Luan Zhao Shui], he can define any behavior.
He can clearly know whether doing something will lead to his perfect reincarnation or suicide.
Very good.
Lin Wen was extremely happy and was about to use this magical power again, but he found that it had dimmed.
Uh, it turns out it can’t be used continuously... Then let’s wait a few days and let it rest.
Lin Wen turned around and continued to immerse himself in his journey of harvesting good karma. The most work he did now was to observe people and how to distinguish who should die, who should not die, and who are good people.
This kind of work can be done fastest if Lin Wen does it himself.
Just like when he read Conan comics before, when a murder case happened, there would usually be a group photo of everyone. Lin Wen would mark that person with a red pen and write "murderer".
In this way, people who read the book later will know who the murderer is at a glance and will no longer be confused by the plot of the entire comic.
Otherwise, the screening process will consume a lot of time and manpower, and if the political workers are not competent, wrongful convictions may occur.
So at that time, Lin Wen’s requirement to Yun Qingshui was that any murder must go through him, in order to prevent such incidents from happening.
With Yun Qingshui's abilities, judging the basic good guys and bad guys shouldn't be a problem. As long as he doesn't kill anyone, generally speaking, he won't have any bad karma.
Facts have proved that his idea is very correct. Yun Qingshui only brought him a little bad karma, but brought him countless good karma.
Not only that, Changshan County will soon begin a wave of great development, and countless good opportunities will come at that time.
When he thought of this, Lin Wen felt a surge of heat all over his body, and he wished his eyes could shoot out laser light so that he could see through everyone at a glance.
Of course, Lin Wen usually wouldn't kill them on the spot. Killing without teaching them is cruel. He wanted them to understand why they were being killed.
Lin Wen first pointed out the death row prisoners, let them stand trial, and then shot them after the crimes were exposed by the public.
Then the serious criminals will be pointed out and put on trial, and the public will be allowed to expose them. However, they will not be shot. Instead, they will be taken back to Changshan County and handed over to Fang Yaobo to complete all judicial procedures before deciding whether to shoot them or not.
It's not a big deal for minor offenders. Just divide their property and send them back to Changshan County to serve their sentence and reform.
Those below 10% were released without charge. Lin Wen was still relatively tolerant. It was difficult to be a completely good person in this environment. It was inevitable that the bad people would drive out the good people.
Under such circumstances, if you can stick to the bottom line, there is no need to delve into any non-principled flaws.
There is both thundering punishment and magnanimity, which fully highlights the principle of justice and retribution. It sows the seeds of goodness in the world and can also bring more good karma.
Lin Wen was busy sowing seeds when Qin Luoshuang suddenly called over and said, "The enemy is firmly entrenched in Shangyou City, attempting to use it as a base for a counterattack."
Lin Wen had no choice but to rush to the front line immediately. He had saved a lot of his spiritual energy during this period, so he had no problem using a few spells.
Now that the attack spell is unlocked, Lin Wen will not be foolish enough to use [Turning Fossils into Mud], as this spell is too expensive.
He used all his strength, brought a big hammer, and activated the Paper Moon Suspended, covering himself with a simple optical camouflage.
The effect is roughly equivalent to moving in the woods wearing camouflage uniforms. It is not completely invisible, so a certain amount of fire cover is still needed.
So, the two sides started exchanging fire. Lin Wen took advantage of the smoke to rush forward, kicked the city gate away, and knocked down the city wall with three hammers. He then flew over and smashed down several bunkers blocking the way.
Amidst the roar, all the enemy's fortifications were destroyed, and the soldiers inside and outside stared at each other in amazement.
Fortunately, the commander did not let him down and immediately blew the charge horn. The army charged forward and Shangyou City had no defenses and fell.
Lin Wen had already waved his sleeves and went back to sow seeds.
The leader, Yu Bo, almost popped his eyes out.
He had never fought such a strange battle in his life. He just told the chief of staff that there was a city here that was very strong and difficult to attack.
The chief of staff called back and asked him to provide cover fire.
Lin Wen didn't say hello to him when he came. This guy is very disgusting. Once he sticks to him, he will waste half an hour of Linglongxin.
He didn't have time to chat with him.
So, Yu Bozheng was inexplicably engaged in combat with the enemy. When his subordinates asked him what he was covering, he replied unhappily, "I'm covering the air."
Unexpectedly, this "air" blew away the city gates, blew down the city walls, and collapsed the fortifications.
Yu Bozheng couldn't believe it until he captured Shangyou City.
"This is so weird."
Yu Bo was thinking:
"Could it be that this seemingly delicate little girl, the Chief of Staff, is actually a witch? She's raising an invisible demon to help her conquer cities and eliminate disobedient people."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart. Yu Bo was deciding to go to the temple to ask for some talismans, and secretly told his brothers not to offend her.
When Lin Wen was halfway through the broadcast, Qin Luoshuang called again.
"The enemy is entrenched in Wuyang City, attempting to use it as a strategic fulcrum to gather their forces."
Lin Wen went over and smashed the wall, and Wuyang City fell again.
Lin Wen went back to sow seeds, and Qin Luoshuang called again.
"The enemy is firmly defending Ning'an City..."
Ning'an City fell.
"The enemy is holding on to the city..."
The city of Buluo fell.
…………
Within three days, Changshan County captured seven cities in a row and advanced 130 kilometers. The process was surprisingly consistent: firepower cover, walls collapsed, houses fell, and the city was captured by charging forward.
All the members of the military observation group were dumbfounded. They had never seen a war fought like this in their lives. Changshan County completely violated all military common sense, yet was always victorious.
The Shizhou army, which was said to be invincible, fled in panic and was completely defeated.
Changshan County advanced madly, not only achieving a huge victory in the military, but also not neglecting other matters.
Every time they occupied a place, the follow-up troops would immediately follow up, fighting the bullies and digging for food. All actions seemed to be cast from the same mold.
Changshan County's approach was quite meticulous. They took away all the valuables of the rich and the artworks that were difficult to cash in.
The rich's possessions, furniture, houses, utensils, and livestock were all divided up.
If a luxury house is difficult to divide individually, it will be converted into money and distributed.
This move stunned the observing group, who were completely unable to understand the significance of this action. Was Changshan County trying to win over the people? Or was it demonstrating their ability to rule this land?
Does the county chief want to move or get promoted?
But you kill and plunder so wantonly, it's good enough that you haven't been killed by the elders soon, and you still want to get promoted?
However, the people behind them have another idea.
Is this the Emperor's intention? Or...his personal behavior?
Changshan County's unusual actions caught their attention, so they secretly tested the Royal Faction, but were disappointed to find that most of them had nothing to do with Lin Wen.
Except for the emperor himself, and...the first princess.
But any outstanding male in the empire is related to the First Princess, which does not prove anything.
However, they still wanted to get some inside information about Lin Wen from the First Princess, such as his preferences, strengths, abilities, and possible personal quirks.
——
Taiming Palace has become extremely busy recently, with visitors coming in an endless stream.
But Li Linyue seemed absent-minded and had no intention of socializing.
As night fell, the palace returned to peace after the princess's faction cadres, followers, admirers, lovers, speculators, and fence-sitters left.
As the princess's close attendant, Liu You was about to report today's important matters when the princess got up and returned to her bedroom.
Liu You gave a wink, and the princess's head maid understood. She got up, changed her clothes, and prepared to serve the princess.
"Sister! Sister!"
The doll-like little princess ran over with her skirt dragging, but was stopped by Liu You.
He said with a pleasant face, "Young Princess, the eldest princess is tired. Can you let her rest for a while?"
The little princess puffed up her cheeks, and her delicate face, like a piece of jade, made people feel pity. She said in a baby voice, "Grandpa Liu, you are too nosy. You have no idea what my sister is thinking."
Liu You was stunned and asked, "Do you know?"
The little princess turned her head away: "Humph, I won't tell you."
Liu You whispered, "Your Majesty will go to the Shengxia Grand Theater tomorrow to accompany San Guozhu to watch the classic drama "Luomi and Zhuye."
The little princess immediately smiled brightly: "I tell you, my sister has to stay by her phone very late every day before going to bed."
Liu You was stunned. When he was about to ask again, the little princess had already jumped away.
"Yeah, I'm going to play with Dad tomorrow."
——
The princess's bedroom is composed of pink representing girlishness, gold representing royalty, and purple representing nobility.
Pink, high-purity rose quartz, produced in the empire's overseas enclave of Otmes, occupies all the walls.
Golden amber, cat's eye and gold covered the floor, and purple jade, gems and diamonds were appropriately dotted in every space where they could exist.
No matter how many times, whenever the head maid walked into the princess's bedroom, it always felt like a dream.
She changed into light gauze, and her graceful body was faintly visible underneath. She was barefoot, stepping on the cool golden floor. Nobility and wealth were transmitted to her heart through her toes, making her excited and her face flushed.
"Your Highness..."
She called softly, her voice tender and charming.
"Let me dance for you."
There was no response. Her master, the person she adored, respected and envied immensely, sat in front of her dressing table carved from pink jade, staring blankly at herself in the mirror.
Even though she could only see half of her profile, the head maid was still amazed at the princess's beauty. Her long hair was simply tied back, her slender hand like soft jade gently pulled her chin, and the crystal pendant swayed gently on her cheek, reflecting the light into a myriad of brilliance, which contrasted with the princess's snow-white skin.
If you walk a little closer, you can see the princess's star-like eyes, jade-like nose, cherry-red lips, and pearly teeth like broken jade.
This is the most perfect person in the empire, the perfect creation left by God in the world, the light of her life, the fire of her soul, and everything to her.
The head maid knelt gently beside the princess and whispered, "Your Highness, Ling is here..."
The princess seemed to be awakened, "Oh...it's you, Ling. I'm not in the mood today."
The head maid lowered her head, her expression slightly resentful, but her Highness's orders could not be disobeyed.
"It's very late, Your Highness should go to bed early."
"Yeah." A distracted answer, even Ling could hear her perfunctory tone.
Ling raised her head and saw the princess holding her chin, falling into that trance again.
Ding ding ding…
The phone rang.
A moment.
The princess seemed to be awakened, stood up quickly, and walked quickly to the telephone table.
But before answering the phone, she regained her usual noble appearance.
She gently picked up the phone and put it to her ear.
But soon, Ling saw the clear disappointment on the princess's face.
After a brief reply, the princess put down the phone and returned to her dressing table.
Ling asked carefully, "Your Highness, who is it?"
"It's Sam Guk-ju. He wants to invite me to watch the Yunde Troupe's performance at the Summer Grand Theater tomorrow."
Lingxi said: "Isn't that a good thing?"
San Guozhu was the emperor's cousin and a former imperial marshal. Although he had long since retired, he still enjoyed high prestige in the army. The princess had tried to contact him many times, but to no avail.
"No, I refused."
"Why, Your Highness?" Ling asked disappointedly.
"I don't want to go."
Ling looked at the First Princess in confusion. She had never said such capricious words as "I don't want to go" before.
Then she saw the telegram under the princess's elbow, which read:
"...Miracle, undefeated, always right—these are all the feelings I've had after observing Changshan County. They always find the right way and follow the right path..."
"...their regular army has incredibly good discipline and a strange belief..."
"The tactics are very advanced, I'm sure they have never been seen in the Empire..."
"Lin Wen's prestige in Changshan County is very high. Everyone believes that all this is due to County Chief Lin's efforts, including the Chief of Staff who has been in charge of the entire battle..."
"...Shizhou is vulnerable. All Governor Gu's boasting has become a laughing stock..."
"...The elders should be able to end the battle soon. Changshan County is the winner..."
The word "winner" stung her eyes. Ling asked in disbelief, "Changshan County won?"
"Yes. If the fighting continues, the major cities in Shizhou will fall. The elders will not allow it."
Joy flashed across Ling's face. She was actually a first-rate beauty, and when she smiled, her smile was like the crystal reflection of a pomegranate in the sun.
"Congratulations, Your Highness! We've taken such a huge risk to support him and helped him incite four military commanders to revolt... We finally have someone capable of governing a region. This will be of great help in consolidating our power."
She is also extremely intelligent and possesses wisdom that many men cannot even dream of.
"What did he say when he called you? What position did His Highness arrange for him?"
Li Linyue's expression flickered slightly, and she said softly, "He didn't hit me."
"he……"
Ling opened her eyes wide, as if she couldn't believe it.
"He didn't call? Did he send a telegram? That's too rude."
Li Linyue shook her head slightly: "Not yet."
Ling stood up suddenly, her face full of anger.
"What does this mean? Does he think he can win on his own? He's just a small county sheriff, why shouldn't he call his master?"
"No, I'm going to kill him. He's so ungrateful..."
"Ling!"
The princess' voice grew stern.
"Don't interfere. Get out of here."
Ling's face was full of grievance and anger, but she still retreated.
She was the only one left in the princess's bedroom.
In this gorgeous yet cold room, the chill seemed to penetrate into Li Linyue's heart.
She held her chin and looked at her perfect self in the mirror. Every frown and smile of hers was extremely moving.
She turned her head and looked at the silent telephone and telegraph on the table not far away.
The desert of time was vast and silent, solidifying her only thought in her mind:
“Why don’t you give me…”
