Chapter 39 I Want More
Under the interrogation of the almost omniscient Lin Wen, the remaining four officials were quickly brought to justice. Two of them were shot on the spot and two were dragged into prison.
The people were almost boiling with excitement, and the cheers were heard everywhere.
The officials in the background were trembling in incomprehensible shock and unbelievable fear. Many of them even collapsed to the ground, unable to stand up. Many others looked around frantically, as if trying to find a way to escape, but wherever they looked, they were all surrounded by imperial soldiers, without a single gap.
A ridiculous thought arose in their terrified hearts: Could it be that County Governor Lin had planned this all along? Was he going to eliminate all dissidents right here? Was he going to wipe out all his opponents in one fell swoop?
Li Yuchen, standing by, was so excited that he almost burst into laughter: "So beautiful! So handsome! So cool! You are worthy of being my good brother, Li Yuchen! Wenjun, come on, do it! Kill these scum!"
Uncle Jie and the five giants looked at each other, all speechless and helpless.
It seems that the young master is not only inexperienced in the world, but is as pure as a blank slate. He can be made a close friend with just a few polite words that please him. If he really goes to the battlefield, he will probably be deceived to the point of losing his pants.
At the same time, he also felt a deep fear and admiration for Lin Wen. This man had unfathomable abilities but was also extremely daring. Like the most shrewd politician, he quietly wove a huge net to lure people into the trap, but at the same time, he was like a chivalrous knight who was loyal to his friends and was furious. He did not care about the consequences and was not afraid of power, only for the loyalty in his heart and the justice he believed in.
The combination of these two extreme contradictions actually produced an unimaginable charm. For a young man like the young master who had romantic fantasies and loved to stick with righteousness through life and death, it was like a bear falling into a barrel of honey, filling every part of his heart.
No wonder he was so fascinated by it.
However, for a young master like him, this performance is totally unacceptable.
Uncle Jie couldn't stop feeling disappointed, but there was no way to change it. He could only hope that the young master would mature quickly and become an independent person as soon as possible.
On stage.
The interrogation continued, but Lin Wen did not give a detailed account of the trial process, otherwise no amount of good karma would be enough.
Just asking these four criminals about the details of their crimes had drained all of his energy. Now he was completely broke, without even a drop left.
It also consumed a lot of good karma.
There are still more than 700 people left, and it is not enough to squeeze them dry.
Besides, time does not allow it. We have to build a temporary resettlement site later. There is no need to waste a whole day just to judge a few parasites.
Time is good karma my friend.
Lin Wen turned the [Observing Qi and Judging People] to the limit, opened his eyes as wide as he could, and at a glance, anyone with more than one-tenth of black energy was guilty. If it was more than half, they would be dragged to the death row. If it was all black, they would be shot directly.
The charges are all crimes against humanity, there is no process involved, once sentenced they are either killed or imprisoned, there is no third option.
With twenty people on stage at a time, Lin Wen only needs fifty seconds to determine their quality.
It won’t work any faster. [Observing the Qi and Watching the People] requires concentration, otherwise you won’t be able to see the shape and color of the Qi clearly.
Too many people is not a good idea either, because it will cause visual confusion and look like a monitor with a distorted screen, with various color blocks mixed together and difficult to distinguish.
Unless it is particularly obvious that only one out of twenty people is black at a time, adding more people at the same time will not improve efficiency.
But even so, Lin Wen's interrogation efficiency was astonishingly fast. Within an hour, Lin Wen had killed more than a dozen people and dragged away more than fifty people.
The atmosphere at the scene was extremely heated. The victims had never seen or heard of such behavior of killing imperial officials like pigs in their lives. They did not think it was unreasonable at all. Lin Wen had proved that he knew everything.
Those who were spared by him must have been innocent officials, and those who were shot by him must have been scum who deserved their punishment.
There is no doubt that firm and unshakable beliefs have been firmly implanted in their hearts along with the sound of gunfire. If anyone jumps out at this moment and says a bad word about County Chief Lin, he will be torn to pieces immediately by the angry people.
The officials behind the scenes were so shocked that they couldn't even believe it was true. The empire had always been very cautious in dealing with officials. They had to have solid evidence, three trials, and five rounds of verification before they would take someone down. If they were to be sentenced to death, they had to go through a more rigorous trial by the council.
Even if they are eventually sentenced to death, they will receive treatment commensurate with their official rank, have enough time to deal with their affairs, and be given a decent death and a grand burial.
But now, they were like grass, shot to death at will by Lin Wen, and their bodies fell on the stands, watched by hundreds of thousands of untouchables, and no one even bothered to clean up.
Not only that, the trial process was also extremely simple. There was no review or court hearing, and there was not even any specific crimes, trial process, evidence or confessions. Their life and death were decided solely by Lin Wen's words and a look.
This great sense of absurdity made them unable to believe that what was happening before their eyes was true.
It was so clean and efficient, killing at the drop of a hat, that it was not only appalling, but also unprecedented, a feat never before seen in the empire.
Listening to the gunshots on the stage, a terrifying chill swept over their bodies, and dark despair overwhelmed their sanity.
So the riot broke out, and they rushed around like headless flies, shouting nonsense that they themselves did not understand.
This suicidal behavior was immediately stopped by the imperial soldiers. Fang Dashan directly ordered a crackdown. In front of 3,000 imperial soldiers, this group of powerless officials were quickly captured.
Some of them were pissing and shitting, some were crying loudly, some were cursing, and some were begging for mercy. They were in all kinds of ugly and chaotic situations.
Fang Dashan ordered that every two imperial soldiers escort one official to be tried, and as long as Lin Wen gave the order, they would escort the officials onto the stage.
The speed increased a lot this time. Whether they were willing or not, forty well-trained imperial soldiers could not drag twenty pampered imperial officials?
The only strange thing was that after taking the stage, Lin Wen asked the imperial soldiers to stand on both sides, which led to frequent chaos after he took the stage. Especially after Lin Wen sentenced the officials to death, the officials sentenced to death were like crazy, some jumped off the stage to escape, some ran around, and some directly attacked Lin Wen.
Although their efforts were in vain, those who jumped off the platform to escape were caught by the people, beaten up and then sent up to be shot.
Those who ran around were immediately controlled by the soldiers and then shot.
The person who came to attack Lin Wen didn't even need to be shot. The giant in black killed him with one punch. Even his good relationship was gone, which made Lin Wen extremely regretful and annoyed.
In the end, he had to be taken into custody by imperial soldiers for trial, which greatly reduced Lin Wen's efficiency in observing people's auras, but he finally completed the review of all officials before noon.
About half of those who managed to get through were found guilty, approximately 300, and nearly 80 were sentenced to death.
Lin Wen emptied all the bullets from the six giant men in black. The corpses at the scene once filled the entire stands, and soldiers had to be sent to clean up before they could continue.
No one felt uncomfortable about this, only the enthusiasm of justice being executed and gratitude for redressing the injustice echoed in their hearts.
Lin Wen gained about 150 points of good karma in total, averaging less than 2 points per point, which was less than the monsters he had killed before, but it was still a huge income, enough to offset all his previous losses.
Now, his good karma has exceeded 900 and is heading towards 1000.
not enough.
Lin Wen stood on the stage, the sun shining brightly in the sky. He looked at the cheering people, their faces bathed in the sunlight.
It's not enough.
He thought.
I want more.
