Chapter 447 Lin Wen’s First Time
Over the past week, Qin Luoshuang has had many negotiations with the empire.
She collected a large amount of evidence of the Council's crime of releasing biological weapons, as well as the Council's vicious practice of confiscating the only antidote before taking action.
They believed that the Council's actions had exceeded the bottom line of humanity and were intolerable. They were forced to enter Xiyanzhou to steal medicine.
A large amount of results of Changshan County's economic development and the role of the 110 billion project in promoting the imperial economy were also prepared.
Qin Luoshuang now deeply understands that strength is background.
Only with this background can you be qualified to speak.
This questioning was unusual. It was the first time that the Empire asked Lin Wen to go with her, and to the Imperial Congress instead of the Emperor's Tower.
The Imperial Congress holds the highest legal authority in the empire and is the only place besides the imperial power that can remove the power of the military governors.
All major imperial affairs such as establishing a monarch, ascending the throne, passing on the throne, and declaring war were carried out in the Imperial Congress.
When Qin Luoshuang told Lin Wen about this matter very carefully, Lin Wen's only feeling was absurdity.
“Isn’t Capitol Hill where money is spent?”
Qin Luoshuang shook her head slightly. "That's the Capitol Hill Chamber, which is specifically used to provide retirement funds for bureaucrats. The full name of the Imperial Congress is the Citizens' Assembly of the Empire. It is an important institution for legislation, electing elders, and selecting the emperor."
Lin Wen frowned. "This empire is too weird. The Council of Elders, the main house of parliament, has such a bloated system. Which idiot came up with this?"
Qin Luoshuang's face darkened and he scolded, "Lin Wen! This is a system established by the founding emperor of the new empire! He is the sacred symbol of the empire. If you go there, don't talk nonsense!"
Lin Wen smiled slightly: "Shuangshuang, you are bothering your father again..."
Qin Luoshuang's face turned red with anger. She grabbed his hand and threw him out over her shoulder.
Lin Wen's soul is full now. He still has to sleep at night, so it will overflow if he doesn't use it.
As soon as the civet cat started, it flipped three and a half times in the air and landed without a splash.
Lin Wen raised his hands high and signaled to the referee, "Xiao Shuangshuang, how about it? Can you give it a 10?"
But what came towards him was a punch, and the two fought in the room for a long time before Qin Luoshuang calmed down.
The flight was at 2 p.m., and before that, Lin Wen took the opportunity to talk to every official and asked them to pay attention to democracy.
Especially Xia Xiaoxiang, as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, she is in charge of the assessment and promotion of all cadres, officials and staff in Changshan County, and is the most likely to undermine democracy.
Lin Wen made a special trip to have a one-on-one talk with her.
"You should listen more to the opinions of your subordinates and discuss everything with everyone. Don't act on your own or have a one-man show. Listening to both sides will lead to enlightenment, while only believing in one side will lead to ignorance."
Xia Xiaoxiang asked, "What if I'm right?"
Lin Wen: "Then just pretend to listen."
Qin Luoshuang, who was standing by, didn't know where to start complaining about him: "You are just talking nonsense..."
Lin Wen: "Shut up, we are discussing democracy!"
…
Xia Xiaoxiang smiled secretly as she watched Qin Luoshuang leave with Lin Wen with a depressed look on her face.
3:30 pm.
Lin Wen, Qin Luoshuang and their party arrived at the imperial capital.
There is an Empire car service at the airport.
Arrived at the Imperial Parliament at four o'clock.
It was a huge white palace-like building, magnificent and solemn. At the top was the imperial emblem, and below was a statue of the empire's first emperor.
In front of us is a huge fountain square covering at least 60 acres.
The square was lined with imperial gendarmes on both sides, and the imperial garrison commander personally met them in front of the square.
Lin Wen, Qin Luoshuang and their group of fifteen people stepped onto the steps of the Imperial Parliament.
At the same time, in the side hall of the Imperial Parliament.
The passionate voices continued.
"...Resurrecting the dead and using corpses to fight has crossed the bottom line of human morality. It is a stain on the glorious history of the Empire and a blasphemy against the justice of the Empire..."
"...he has repeatedly disobeyed orders, repeatedly led his troops to attack neighboring territories, and has disregarded the laws of the empire..."
"… maliciously closing down the city, trampling on human rights and freedoms, without a trace of imperial glory…"
Yu Zhongxian and the three elders were making their final statements in front of the chief elder.
"Changshan County is so tyrannical and rebellious, so cruel and inhumane, that he is no longer fit to hold the power of military governor. I request that the Supreme Council deprive him of this power."
The Great Elder sat at a long white table, casually flipping through the materials they submitted.
The Great Elder Pingyuan said coldly, "Is this also your opinion?"
The three elders Lin Yabo, Luo Nuo and Cheng Wei bowed together.
"Yes."
Lin Yabo added: "Including Elder Mosili, he is just busy with government affairs and cannot come in person."
The Great Elder Ping Yuan nodded: "I understand."
Without further comment, the Imperial Guard extended his right hand: "Please!"
Lin Yabo's eyes moved, and then he and the two elders bowed and retreated.
Yu Zhongxian said respectfully, "Great Elder, I have some details to add."
——
Lin Wen and others were taken to a luxurious waiting room, where gorgeously dressed attendants served them exquisite cakes and black tea.
The thick carpet and warm spring-like environment make people drowsy.
The Imperial Garrison Commander said, "Chief Lin, Deputy Chief Qin, please wait a moment."
Qin Luoshuang bowed politely: "Thank you for your guidance, Lord Guardian."
Lin Wen took a bite of the pastry and spat it out.
"Bah! Too sweet! The sugar hasn't even melted in it. What a rubbish chef! He can't even bake as good as Father Xu."
Qin Luoshuang twisted Lin Wen's thigh violently through her dress, and Lin Wen slapped her hand away: "Stop touching me!"
The Imperial Garrison Commander smiled politely and said, "Chief Lin, I'll ask them to bring another one." He turned and left the room.
As soon as the garrison commander left, Qin Luoshuang exploded: "Lin Wen, how many times have I told you not to mess around! It's very rude, don't you understand?"
Lin Wen sneered: "What is politeness?"
"What do you mean by politeness?"
"I come, I see, I make my own rules, and what I believe is politeness. If you don't want people to eat, then don't bring the food up. If you bring the food up and they can't eat it, then it's your fault!"
Qin Luoshuang was choked by him and was speechless. After a long while, she said, "This is the territory of the Supreme Association... If you are so rude, they will punish you."
Lin Wen laughed and said, "Unless the Great Elder is an idiot, they would never punish a powerful person for a natural act."
Qin Luoshuang remained silent. This was the first time someone dared to associate the words "Grand Elder" with "idiot".
She didn't want to talk anymore.
After a while, new pastries came up. Lin Wen casually ate two pieces and drank some tea.
[Without a Colorful Phoenix] As soon as Lin Wen called the police, he knew that the Imperial Guard had come in.
Their eyes have a built-in danger-sensing alarm, and Lin Wen has felt it many times.
"County Magistrate Lin, Deputy County Magistrate Qin, the Great Elder invites you in."
"good."
Lin Wen stood up, patted his dress, and said with a smile, "Let's go."
Qin Luoshuang quickly stood up, and the assistant beside her handed her the documents she had carefully prepared.
Although he had seen a lot of big scenes, it was Qin Luoshuang's first time meeting the real supreme ruler of the empire, so he was inevitably a little nervous.
In contrast, Lin Wen seemed to be on a picnic, looking around and casually appreciating the magnificent palace.
A moment later, the Imperial Guard stopped at a side hall and bowed, "Please come in."
Lin Wen pushed the door open and met the four elders for the second time.
"Hello."
The Great Elder Ping Yuan nodded and said, "Little fellow, we meet again. Tell me, what happened?"
Lin Wen laughed and said, "That bastard Yu Laogou poisoned Changshan County and hid all the antidotes in his biochemical base. If I don't go and get them, millions of people in Changshan County will die. The engine of the empire's economy will stall, and hundreds of billions of projects will collapse. The resulting employment and economic cycle will also be interrupted. The empire's economy will suffer a severe blow, and it may even lead to the collapse of the empire and the deaths of hundreds of millions of people."
"I declare that Yu Laogou has committed crimes against humanity and deserves to be executed by slow slicing."
Qin Luoshuang stood there in a daze, not saying a word.
She had been nagging in Lin Wen's ear for three hours, but he finished it in one sentence and even added another sentence which was originally nonsensical.
The four great elders raised their heads and looked at Lin Wen at the same time.
They were dressed in platinum robes of great elders and wore ceremonial crowns that symbolized the highest authority. Their gazes were like the cold stones of hell. Qin Luoshuang felt an uncontrollable fear in her heart and quietly moved behind Lin Wen.
"Lin Wen."
A great elder said, "We have investigated you, studied you, and know everything you have done. This is our second meeting, and our first private one, and you still surpass our expectations."
Lin Wen laughed and said, "Of course? If there are no surprises, how can I become the... the county chief?"
"In that case," said Great Elder Xing Ling, "let's cut to the chase. Your super-special combat body has already obtained the antibiotics, so why are you still trying to sabotage things? Leading your troops to invade Xiyan Province?"
Qin Luoshuang was shocked. She didn't expect that the Great Elder actually knew such details.
She deliberately mixed up her words in order to shift all the blame onto the council.
How to explain it?
While Qin Luoshuang was thinking rapidly, Lin Wen answered directly.
"His poisoning tools were not destroyed. To prevent a second poisoning attempt and disruption to my project, I went over and destroyed them. Broadly speaking, this is called self-defense."
The Great Elder asked, "Will the project be affected?"
"No, we've had over a thousand contractors come in for negotiations. Deputy County Chief Zhao has already completed negotiations with five hundred of them, and the 110 billion yuan project is about to begin."
"No." Another elder said, "Expand the project to 300 billion and recruit another 1,000 investors."
"I don't have any money."
"You have money."
"I can't come up with 300 billion."
"Borrow from the Imperial Bank, annual interest rate 30 points, payable in five years."
Lin Wen's eyes widened. "You're robbing me! I've never heard of a loan with a 30% interest rate."
"Twenty-eight at the lowest."
Lin Wen refused immediately: "Twenty-eight is too high, and the term is too short. The repayment pressure is too great."
Qin Luoshuang stared blankly at Lin Wen bargaining with the Great Elder, feeling as if something in her soul had broken.
The information she had painstakingly prepared and the evidence she had painstakingly finalized seemed to have become waste paper, and no one cared.
After haggling for a long time, the great elder Xing Ling slammed the table and angrily said, "Twenty points at the lowest, or I will strip you of your official title and replace you with someone else."
"well."
Lin Wen said helplessly: "You guys are making money much faster than me."
"And one more thing," said the Great Elder Ping Yuan, "the war is about to begin. You must hand over the Dongfeng-41 missile technology and your 502 glue that can melt stone."
"The technology for resurrecting corpses is unnecessary. Using it would have a very bad influence. You are not allowed to use it within the empire anymore."
"And your Unit-0. Hand over your information. We can collaborate with the Imperial Ordnance Group. It might be worth developing. Unit-1 and Unit-2 won't be needed."
The Great Elder Xing Ling said, "You can hold a military expo. I will invite all the departments of the imperial army to participate. You can negotiate the terms."
"That's all. Let's go to the meeting."
Lin Wen walked out with a worried look on his face, but found that Qin Luoshuang did not come out.
When he was about to go back and call her, he was stopped by the imperial garrison commander.
"Headmaster Lin, please wait a moment. The Great Elder wants to speak to Deputy Headmaster Qin alone."
