Chapter 412: Heart of Love
Shizhou.
Sichuan Luo County.
"Well, honey, I'm here."
Bang!
"I only have you in my eyes. You are the only sun."
Bang!
"No matter how many thorns there are in the world, as long as I have you, life will be sweet."
Bang!
"It has nothing to do with how powerful the person you like is. It's the beating of your heart."
Bang!
"You are number one, by a long shot."
Bang!
"All the princesses alive or dead are not even a fraction as good as you."
Bang!
"I am quite a playboy, but I spend all my time on you. It wasn't like that before, but it is now and it will be in the future."
Bang bang bang bang!
"Well, my dear, goodbye. May you shine like the stars and the moon, bright and clear every night."
Lin Wen hung up the phone, turned off his Seven Apertures Heart, and crushed the last head.
Eliminate evil and gain good karma +131.
This is a group of crazy bullies and bandits who think that killing Lin Wen will end Changshan County's purge in Shizhou and their good days will return.
It turns out that this was just a dream within a dream.
Ending the Great Purge was a dream, and killing Lin Wen was a dream within a dream.
During this period, Lin Wen has been traveling around Chuanluo County.
In the process of establishing the Farmers' Association and clearing out the remnants of evil, Yun Qingshui, in accordance with his guidance, gathered on the spot all those who could not be convicted of the death penalty and waited for his trial.
There are already dozens of such gathering points in Chuanluo County.
Lin Wen went to one city and town after another, and every time he went to a place, a large number of people died.
So, some people gave Lin Wen a nickname, "Death is Coming", to mock him, saying that he would die wherever he went.
This nickname was so descriptive that it spread like wildfire. Wherever Lin Wen went, a large number of villagers would cheer, "The God of Death is coming!"
When the Forbidden Spell Masters heard that someone was slandering County Chief Lin, they were enraged and quickly followed the clues to arrest the person.
After a detailed investigation, it was discovered that this person was just a talkative person and was not a spy sent by the enemy.
However, many judges still supported the execution by shooting, and the person in charge could not make a decision, so he reported the news to Yun Qingshui.
Yun Qingshui was a little hesitant, and the brothers of the Kuomintang also had different opinions. Most of them advocated shooting, but the butcher was firmly opposed.
"There are some people in this village who are the most rude. If you want to say they have any bad intentions, they don't. They are a bit like scoundrels, but they haven't really done anything cruel. They are inconsistent with Brother Lin's spirit of only killing those who have clear evidence of heinous crimes. I suggest that Brother Lin handle it."
Yun Qingshui instinctively leaned towards the butcher, but in order to convince everyone, he called Fang Yaobo, a well-known top legal expert, to seek legal support.
After listening to the incident, Fang Yaobo surprisingly did not immediately declare a crime against humanity. Instead, he said, "This goes beyond the scope of conventional law and only applies to the law of bellum. I suggest leaving it to County Chief Lin to handle. This case can be preserved as a classic and provide a basis for future sentencing."
So, Yun Qingshui locked up the talkative guy and a group of bad gentry and bullies. When Lin Wen arrived the next day, the guy was so scared that he wet his pants. It's okay to tease others, but it would be no fun if the god of death came to him.
Unexpectedly, Lin Wen released him directly and told them that County Chief Lin was not committing a crime by cursing casually.
This result was completely beyond Yun Qingshui and everyone else's expectations. No one could accept this result, let alone accept that their leader could be slandered at will.
Yun Qingshui called Fang Yaobo again.
After listening to this, Fang Yaobo immediately said, "I understand. County Magistrate Lin meant not to over-exaggerate his status, but to treat him as a natural person. Malicious insults, threats, and slander against others are illegal but not criminal. They can be subject to public security management, detention for fifteen days or a month, or a fine depending on the consequences."
Nightingale's eyes lit up, and she asked softly, "So, if someone insults Brother Lin, we can fine him a lot of money?"
"It depends on the consequences," Fang Yaobo explained. "For example, if it seriously hurts the feelings of the masses, that would be a serious consequence."
A happy smile appeared on Nightingale's little face. She could not accept that her beloved Brother Lin was insulted.
"Then we're all heartbroken. Can we fine him a few million..."
Fang Yaobo said, "Fine him according to the proportion of his assets. If he has no money, just detain him for fifteen days and undergo reform and criticism education."
The brothers from the Democratic Party all laughed, as they were the best at criticism and education.
The butcher praised: "As expected of a renowned legal expert, what he said is very thorough."
Fang Yaobo smiled sheepishly and said, "I only achieved this little bit of success after County Chief Lin adjusted my education. According to County Chief Lin, I used to be a cold and heartless baguette who didn't even know that the essence of the law is to serve the people."
Nightingale stared at the phone eagerly and whispered, "I also want to be trained by Brother Lin..."
Yun Qingshui hung up the phone and said softly, "Listen to Sister Yun and forget about County Chief Lin. I'm going on a blind date tomorrow. I've already found the man. He's very strong and... uh, lively. He looks good..."
The butcher said quickly, "That's right. When he was plowing the field, I sang a folk song. He got so excited that he kicked the ox away and plowed the field himself. He actually plowed faster than the ox..."
The nightingale pouted and refused to pay attention to them.
In this way, the matter was resolved peacefully, and the KMT cadres explained and publicized the legal provisions.
The villagers all praised the benevolent and righteous Lord Lin for his magnanimity. In the past, they did not dare to comment on important figures, but the people from Changshan County were kind and friendly, did not offend them in the slightest, distributed food and money to them, and cracked down on bullies. The relationship between the two sides has reached the level of trust.
This news spread like wildfire and was also heard by some bullies and bandits who had hidden in the mountains and had not yet been caught.
They immediately figured out Lin Wen's route and were excited to learn that he was traveling alone. They wanted to kill this culprit who brought great disaster to innocent people on the way and restore peace to Shizhou.
The ending is naturally that the food is delivered to your door.
With Lin Wen's current strength, only regular troops and special forces can pose a threat to him. Ordinary robbers are like a plate of vegetables, not much in quantity, but crisp and delicious.
Lin Wen was eating takeout while receiving a call from the First Princess.
Now the princess's calls are becoming more and more frequent, and her intelligence is wearing out quickly.
Lin Wen felt that this was not a good thing to continue. There were too many places where the soul was needed, and the Seven-Aperture Heart was also very expensive.
We have to think of a way.
Lin Wen thought as he rushed to the next point.
——
Dadunbao.
The headquarters was bustling with activity. Everyone was working like crazy, running to walk and shouting to communicate. Everyone wished they could split one second into a hundred seconds.
Since Lin Wen formulated the strategy for the war, the Changshan County army has launched attacks in all directions, and the occupied area has expanded significantly, and the ensuing affairs have piled up like a mountain.
However, Qin Luoshuang was very clear that Changshan County was now very dangerous, like walking on a tightrope on a cliff. If one was not careful, one would fall into the abyss.
But in the entire headquarters, except Xia who could understand her, no one knew that their current actions were almost equivalent to rebellion against the empire.
They still think that whoever has the bigger fist has the final say. Since I won the fight, of course I can do whatever I want.
But the problem is that the police (public security guards) are watching with handcuffs on their hands. A secret war is not a legal war. If you cross the line, the empire will punish you.
No matter how big your fist is, can it be bigger than the three million central troops?
The special envoy of the Supreme Council arrived at Dadun Fort in Shizhou the next day.
Qin Luoshuang received him on behalf of Lin Wen. The purpose of the special envoy was simple, which was to end this tacitly condoned war.
Qin Luoshuang tried to evade responsibility and delay the matter, but since he was a special envoy of the Supreme Council, what kind of people had he not met?
He quickly froze his words: "Miss Qin, please immediately follow the Supreme Council's ceasefire order according to the provisions of the letter, otherwise we will assume that you are about to rebel or have already rebelled."
Qin Luoshuang took the letter and read it over twice. The terms were not much different from the last time, except for one more clause requiring Changshan County to return the surrendered or rebellious troops to the western region of the empire.
This clause seemed to be a disadvantage for Changshan County, but in fact it allowed Changshan County and the western region to connect and establish friendly relations.
Changshan County now has an ally that can jointly resist the powerful pressure from the Qin Group.
Qin Luoshuang sighed in her heart. This was truly the pinnacle of the art of balancing power. It was worthy of being the work of the Great Elder. It was smooth, effortless and natural, and everything seemed to be a matter of course.
This is a perfect ending, acceptable to all parties.
Changshan County will also make the leap to become a powerful faction in the empire and a force with a say.
But it's a pity.
I can't agree to that.
Although Qin Luoshuang disagreed in her heart a million times, once the decision was made, she would do it wholeheartedly and would not deliberately slack off or drag her feet just because of her opposition or anger or bad mood.
She flipped through the letter and said coldly, "There's no Supreme Council logo or Grand Elder's seal on it. I can't be sure it's authentic."
The envoy's tone cooled, clearly angry. "Your war is illegal, unrecognized by the Empire. It's the result of internal struggles for interests within your major groups. The Supreme Council will not issue any official documents regarding this."
Qin Luoshuang deliberately pretended to be naive: "Is that so? Are you lying to me?"
The envoy looked at her with a frown, not sure whether she was pretending or not.
"Maybe she is the lover of County Chief Lin, who used his tiger skin to sit in the high position." The envoy thought to himself, and at the same time he looked down on the legendary County Chief Lin.
How can we leave the important affairs of government to others?
What's more, she is a woman with no knowledge and nothing else to her except her beauty.
It seems that County Chief Lin is probably an idiot dominated by his lower body.
"Call County Magistrate Lin." The envoy said coldly, "This is a serious matter. You cannot bear the responsibility."
"What do you mean?" Qin Luoshuang frowned and said, "What do you mean I can't take responsibility? County Magistrate Lin always obeys my orders. If I tell him to go west, he won't go east. You are just a small envoy, why are you so arrogant? Do you believe I will have you kicked out?"
The envoy was very annoyed. He hated talking to unreasonable women the most, but it was obviously inappropriate to arbitrarily conclude that Changshan County violated the instructions of the Supreme Council.
He walked out the door and called Lin Wen himself, but the phone rang from the inner room.
Qin Luoshuang picked up the phone and sneered, "I told you, everything here is under my control, and County Chief Lin is no exception."
The envoy resisted the urge to kill and had to walk in and try to explain the situation.
But the woman in front of him was simply an idiot. She knew nothing, but she was arrogant and thought that the whole world had to listen to her.
After a few hours of nonsense, the envoy could no longer bear it and sneered, "Okay, don't regret it."
Turn around and leave.
Qin Luoshuang let out a long sigh. Of course, it was impossible to get away with this, but she could at least give an explanation to the Great Elder and have room for maneuver.
I hope there will be a good result.
Qin Luoshuang looked worriedly at the setting sun in the distance.
In the distance, Lin Wen had just found a hidden granary and was excited to discover that it was a giant granary containing at least five million tons of grain.
Changshan County will have another large amount of food.
He rushed to the next town without stopping, and while clearing the garbage, he was also digging for the granary hidden in the land of Shizhou.
On the other side in the distance, Li Zairong once again took over the market, buying two million tons of grain futures and obtaining 200,000 contracts for delivery tomorrow.
This is already the third day.
The contracts signed two days ago have been delivered, and a total of three million tons of grain have been transported from Changshan County by water back to their truly safe base - Longjing.
They spent more than 90 million yuan on shipping costs, an average of 30 yuan per ton of grain.
And this is just a drop in the bucket. The purchase of these 3 million tons of grain alone cost 6 billion, and there are various other expenses, including advertising, public relations, marketing, taxes, etc., which add up to more than 10 billion.
Only a super giant like them, consisting of dozens of groups united together, can come up with such a huge amount of money without batting an eyelid.
Li Zairong glanced at Nadao's strange and simple sign and sneered, "You want to go against us? Don't you even consider your own worth?"
Pooh.
A mouthful of thick phlegm was spat out at the main entrance.
Li Zairong walked out with his younger brother, surrounded by financial reporters, with his head held high.
I want to see how much food you have left.
When the day comes that your credit goes bankrupt, I will make you spit out everything you have invested, including the principal and interest.
——
Further away.
A dilapidated third-tier city.
On the cracked road, a van with a big horn drove past, attracting countless people's attention.
"The bastard boss Huang He brought his sister-in-law..."
Faint background music.
"The vast horizon is mine..."
