Chapter 511: Battle of the Council (Part 2) (Part 2)
Of course Lin Wen was ready. He couldn't even wait. He just wanted to kill Yu Zhongxian quickly and then return to Changshan County.
Li Longxing was very satisfied with Lin Wen's attitude. He patted his shoulder vigorously and said with a smile: "Keep going, kid. Kill Yu Zhongxian and I'll let you and Lin Yue get married."
Lin Wen's face fell and said, "No need, brother."
But he didn't say anything to spoil the fun, so as not to cast a shadow on their friendly cooperative atmosphere.
After the discussion, Li Longxing asked Lin Wen to go back and wait for news, and his people would contact him if necessary.
As soon as Lin Wen went out, he met the princess's personal maid Chang Ling.
Her face was extremely gloomy, and she looked at Lin Wen with disgust, as if he were a piece of dog shit.
But she still came closer and put a key into Lin Wen's hand, and said briefly: "It's in His Highness's room. She has prepared some of your favorite food. Come over early in the evening."
After saying that, he turned around and ran away without waiting for Lin Wen to reply.
Lin Wen looked at the key in his hand that was emitting pink light. He felt that the situation was about to get out of control, and he also doubted whether driving was any use at all.
You're not going to drive into the bed, are you?
But then he thought, "No, this is the answer given to me by [Immortal Guidance], it must be correct. I must not be driving fast enough to achieve the desired effect..."
"I'll go back and find a few super fast cars. I'm going to bring the relationship down, or at least cool it down."
night.
In the princess's bedroom.
The little princess Li Qingyue insisted on staying in her sister's room and hugged her sister's thighs.
No matter how Li Linyue tried to coax her, the girl just kept crying: "No, no, I want to sleep with my sister."
“This girl…”
Li Linyue sighed in her heart, looking at her sister's red eyes from crying, and she couldn't bear to kick her out.
"Okay, sleep here with me tonight and I'll read you 'The Origin of Time', okay?"
Li Qingyue finally burst into laughter and replied crisply, "Okay!"
Li Linyue gave the head maid Ling a look.
Ling immediately understood and turned to leave.
A moment later, Lin Wen, who was learning super-fast driving skills, heard his door being violently hammered.
When I opened the door, I saw Ling, the princess's maid again.
With her eyebrows raised and a fierce look on her face, she stuffed a bag of crumpled fruit cake into his hands and said, "Here, your pig food."
Lin Wen was stunned. What did this mean? Didn't the princess have to go somewhere?
Ling seemed to know what he was thinking and said, "Your Highness is not feeling well and doesn't want to see your face!"
Is there such a good thing?
Bang!
Lin Wen slammed the door shut to prevent her from suddenly changing her mind.
Ling was turned away in person and was furious. She thought to herself, "If I don't ruin this relationship between you and His Highness, I'm not going to be named Lin."
——
The top floor of the Emperor's Tower.
The imperial palace is the exclusive bedroom of the emperor.
Li Longxing ended a busy day and sat alone in the huge palace.
He has sorted out all the complicated matters and completed the prelude to all reforms.
From this point on, every step forward is a cliff, a place more dangerous than a battlefield.
He could no longer retreat.
"come on."
There was no light in the palace, as if sitting in a dark abyss. Li Longxing clenched his fists.
"One day, my dream will come true."
"I will eventually be able to sit in the shade of a sunny tree and paint this beautiful new world..."
the next day.
The highest military headquarters of the empire.
The vote on "extending the term of office of the Grand Marshal" convened by Li Longxing received an overwhelming majority of votes in favor.
This was an illegal vote.
Because the right to appoint or not the Grand Marshal was in the hands of the Supreme Council, Li Longxing still convened and completed it.
Even if it has no legal effect, its existence can explain many problems.
Afterwards, Li Longxing took the result to the Supreme Council.
For the first time, he was able to sit down and negotiate with the four elders as equals.
The talks were very brief.
Li Longxing: "I will reform."
"Then."
"I will abdicate."
"good."
The talks are over.
Li Longxing stood up and left.
The elder said, "Is it credible?"
“Trustworthy.”
"Why?"
"He doesn't want to be one."
"Why not?"
"Because he doesn't want to."
There was silence in the courtyard. The elder sat in front of the chessboard and didn't speak for a long time.
After the talks.
At the regular meeting of the Supreme Council, the imperial state of emergency, which should have ended, did not end. Instead, pressure was put on the Kingdom of Sobe to the west, which was competing with the empire for the Kirkuk oil fields, to withdraw its troops and cease fire as soon as possible, otherwise the emperor of the empire would lead the army himself.
Although the Sob Kingdom has not responded yet, the signal it sends is obvious.
All of a sudden, everyone knew that a new storm was about to come.
——
To the Winter Palace.
Yu Zhongxian received a reply from the Supreme Council. The Grand Elder did not mention his proposal at all, and the whole letter was full of clichés.
After reading it, the chairman of the council, Wang Xinwei, said worriedly, "Mr. Chairman, what should we do? Is the Supreme Council going to take action against us?"
Yu Zhongxian sneered and said nothing.
Chairman He An replied, "That's impossible. Look, the Qin Group has been acting too quietly and strangely lately, as if they were preparing a big move. The Supreme Council has at least half of its attention focused on guarding against the Qin Group."
"Yes," said Priest Dror calmly, "Mingzhou Governor Ge Guanglin, under Elder Ren, is also restless. The Great Elder has a lot to worry about. If he were to deal with us at this time, he must be half asleep."
"Don't be careless."
Yu Zhongxian's cold gaze swept over, and no one dared to meet his gaze even though he was still sitting in a wheelchair.
"Li Longxing has reached a certain degree of consensus with the Supreme Council. The Great Elder will no longer be on guard against the Imperial Faction. This is a very bad thing for us."
"I still say the same thing. Keep your gates shut and stay within the law. The Golb Undead Project is about to succeed. Soon, we'll have the power to challenge the Supreme Council."
Everyone said in unison: "Yes!"
Yu Zhongxian's voice was like the deep cold hell.
"After the Immortals succeed, the progress of the Immortality Project will be greatly accelerated. At that time, the True God will descend, and our voices will be the only ones left in the world. We will be immortal and rule this land forever!"
In the cold hall, everyone looked solemn and bowed in unison.
"All things are silent, only God speaks!"
——
After the Supreme Council’s regular meeting.
Li Longxing immediately launched an all-out attack on the Council of Justice. The Imperial Political Supervisory Council, which was controlled by the imperial faction, immediately dispatched political supervisors to various parts of the empire to investigate the intermediate councils in various places in the name of clean government.
At the same time, the Supreme Elders agreed to form the "Anti-Biological Expansion and Evaluation Organization."
The organization is composed of people sent by various major departments within the empire, but the general secretary and powerful figures are all from the imperial faction.
It will investigate each state in accordance with the relevant laws of the empire and ban all biochemical bases that do not meet the standards.
Under such circumstances, intermediate-level review councils in various places have been exposed for serious problems such as corruption, abuse of power, favoritism, fraud, and depravity.
The files that were found were extremely cruel and unbearable to read. The crimes committed were too numerous to list.
Officials who supported it fell from power one after another, and the influence of the council quickly waned.
Immediately afterwards, the Council's biochemical bases in various places were closed one after another, including two giant production bases.
The situation was very good, but Li Longxing knew that this was just like a gecko cutting off its tail or an octopus cutting off its legs. Yu Zhongxian was abandoning the burdens on the periphery and shrinking his strength.
His true core has not been touched yet.
The Council’s two largest biological and chemical bases, the Johnson Base and the Gorb Dead Sea Base, have not yet been closed.
Investigators also began to encounter accidents frequently.
Car accidents, fires, murders and accidents continued to occur. Every incident was either an accident or a mental illness. The loss of personnel continued to increase. The royal faction began to dispatch security personnel on a large scale, and the council also began to send more attackers.
The battle between the two sides has entered a white-hot stage.
And in the imperial capital, the war has just begun.
Li Yongsheng, one of the Three Pillars of the Senate, is an old acquaintance of Lin Wen.
Back in Shizhou, it was he who caused trouble for Lin Wen and handed over the First Princess's cell phone, which led to the beginning of their evil fate.
At this moment, Li Yongsheng led a group of backbone members of the imperial faction and prepared to attack the core figures of the council.
His target is Tian Pu, the chief medical officer of the Council.
This person is Yu Zhongxian's loyal lackey, but he has no responsibilities on the council and is relatively easier to deal with.
Pick the soft persimmons first.
Li Yongsheng understood this principle very well.
On the first day of the operation, he called Lin Wen and prepared to teach Tian Pu a lesson.
But Lin Wen didn't come, so they set off first.
Tian Pu is nominally the head of several small companies, but in fact he is responsible for managing the medical industry of the entire council.
He was highly capable, forward-thinking, and intelligent, but he was completely defeated in the competition with Changshan County and suffered unprecedented huge losses.
This shows that this is a very powerful character.
Li Yongsheng brought a large number of people to his residence.
This is a very ordinary residential building. From the outside, it looks no different from the living environment of an ordinary imperial citizen.
After entering the house, his residence was very ordinary and not luxurious at all.
Tian Pu himself was sitting on a bamboo stool eating noodles with soybean paste.
He looked short and small, with wrinkles all over his face, and his clothes were ordinary and patched. He was very surprised at the arrival of Li Yongsheng and others.
"Who are you? What's going on?"
Doing things in the capital city must follow the rules. Even if His Majesty has obtained the approval of the Supreme Council, they must act according to the rules, otherwise they will be investigated by the Beijing Inspection Office.
The Jingchashu was a department directly under the imperial garrison, and it was a powerful department.
Li Yongsheng presented his ID and the search warrant signed by the Imperial Inspectorate.
"Tian Pu, we suspect you are involved in a series of criminal activities, including money laundering, tax evasion, selling counterfeit drugs, selling substandard medical products that have caused death, etc. Please cooperate."
Tian Pu smiled faintly and said, "Even if I open a small company, there are still so many people who are doing dirty work. Okay, go ahead and search."
Li Yongsheng sneered and waved his hand, and a large number of police officers rushed into the house.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing rummaging through my cabinet? It's full of medical books!"
"Alas, my bottle!"
"Oh, are there people who treat others like you?"
Tian Pu was shouting and yelling, looking like a weak citizen.
Li Yongsheng watched his performance quietly, but his expression became increasingly gloomy.
None of the subordinates reported finding any clues.
Not only here, the seven troops operating in various places in Shenjing at the same time did not find any problems, including the one that searched Tianpu's secret private residence.
He thought he would definitely find a clue.
The smile on Tian Pu's face gradually grew wider.
When the search was over, he shouted sarcastically, "Oh, my home has been destroyed by you."
Li Yongsheng's face turned pale. He hadn't obtained any plausible evidence and had no right to arrest anyone.
With a wave of his hand: "Team up!"
Tian Pu sneered, "You're just going to leave like that? Is this how you bully good people?"
Li Yongsheng said coldly: "What do you want?"
Tian Pu counted on his fingers, a disgusting smile spreading across his wrinkled face. "Of course you have to compensate me for my losses, including mental damage, material damage, and loss of reputation... Look, this is a 2,000-year-old antique worth 100 million, and you guys broke it."
Li Yongsheng stared at him: "What if I don't pay?"
Tian Pu sneered, "What can I do if he doesn't pay me? How can the empire's masters bully the common people and still have any sense?"
A key member shouted angrily: "Stop spitting blood!"
"You're so fierce," Tian Pu sneered. "Are the police officers of the Imperial Inspectorate so arrogant? Are you used to bullying others? Do you treat people like non-human beings?"
At this moment, Lin Wen, who had been waiting for a long time, finally arrived.
"Your location is so hard to find. My head is spinning... What are you doing?"
Li Yongsheng whispered, "Xiao Lin, let's go first. If we don't find any evidence, we'll come back in a few days to deal with this son of a bitch."
As soon as Tian Pu saw Lin Wen, his eyes were filled with fire.
It was this person who shattered his dream of becoming the chairman of the council and caused the council's medical group and all investors to suffer huge losses. If it weren't for his sudden inspiration to smuggle the special medicine abroad to earn high profits, he would not be able to keep his position now.
"Hey." Tian Pu said sharply, "Isn't this the famous County Magistrate Lin? You are also a police officer?"
Lin Wen glanced at him and asked Li Yongsheng, "Who is this short bitter melon?"
Tian Pu was furious: "What did you say? You little bitch, little beast, you piece of trash, and you dare to yell at me? If this weren't the Divine Capital, I'd make sure you were dead without a burial place!"
Li Yongsheng was delighted: "You are cursing people in the street and are suspected of provoking trouble. Take them away!"
Tian Pu felt a chill in his heart, and then he got angry and shouted, "It was this little bastard who scolded me first. Why didn't you arrest him?"
Li Yongsheng grinned and said, "I only heard you cursing. The recording device recorded it. Let's go, Tianpu."
At this time, Lin Wen walked over, waved his fist at him, then stared at his fist in silence.
Tian Pu thought he was demonstrating and sneered, "Little beast! If I gave you ten thousand courage, would you dare to fight me?"
Bang!
A heavy punch hit him right in the face.
Tian Pu fell backwards, blood gushing out of his nose.
Lin Wen felt a little regretful: "My own strength is indeed not enough."
Tian Pu covered his nose and yelled on the ground: "Why don't you arrest him! He hit me! He hit me! I'm bleeding! Do you still have any law?"
Li Yongsheng felt regretful. This kid was still young and impulsive.
He whispered, "We only have control over one-third of the Imperial Inspectorate. If you get in, it will be difficult for us to handle it."
He tilted his head slightly and saw the surveillance camera in the room and the flash of light in the distance, knowing that the Council was keeping evidence.
For battles of their level, they can only do so through official channels in Shenjing.
Li Yongsheng sighed slightly and could only wave his hand and said, "Take him away too."
Tian Pu laughed and said, "You little bastard, you dare to hit me? You'll have to fight me in your next life."
But at this time, Lin Wen got into a fight with a police officer, and Li Yongsheng shouted, "Xu Dabanzi, what are you doing?"
The police officer cried out in grievance: "He's pulling out my gun!"
Li Yongsheng shouted angrily, "Lin Wen, behave yourself!"
Lin Wen said unhappily, "Give me the gun, and don't force me to fight for real. I don't want to waste my energy."
Tian Pu laughed so hard that the nosebleed that had just stopped spurting out again: "You little bastard, you dare to kill me? What Yuanshen? Yuan your ancestors! That police officer, give him the gun and see if he has the guts to kill me."
The officer shook his head and covered his gun, "I won't give it to you!"
At this moment, Lin Wen missed Qin Luoshuang very much. When he was in Changshan County, whenever he turned around, Qin Luoshuang would take out a pistol and hand it to him, never letting him let down at the critical moment.
This police officer is just a fool and has completely ruined his image.
Li Yongsheng was furious. He took off his pistol and handed it to Lin Wen, shouting, "Shoot this guy!"
At the same time, he whispered, "Scare him! Kill his arrogance!"
Lin Wen sneered, skillfully unhooked his holster, and flicked off the safety. Tian Pu laughed and said, "Little bastard, I'm standing right here today. If you blink, I'll kill you. If you have the guts, kill me. Come on!"
Bang!
The sound of gunfire echoed throughout the old residential building. The last "ah" was lost in Tian Pu's throat. His forehead was blown open, and blood mixed with brain matter splattered everywhere.
He fell down with an expression of disbelief, and all that remained on his face was doubt and confusion.
Blood gushed out, soon staining a large area of the floor red.
Li Yongsheng was completely stunned and asked anxiously, "What are you doing? This is going to be trouble!"
At this moment, several spies from the Council jumped out from their hiding places and approached rapidly. They recorded videos and took photos while shouting, "Murder! Murder! Police officers from the Imperial Inspectorate are killing people in the street!"
Bang bang bang!
The three spies fell to the ground on the spot, and blood splattered all over the residential building.
This residential building is located in a busy city. Tian Pu lives on the first floor, facing the street. Screams were heard everywhere on the street, and passers-by all fell to the ground in fear.
Bang!
Two more shots were fired, and two passers-by were killed on the spot.
Lin Wen changed the magazine with a click and continued shooting at passers-by. His shooting skills were extremely accurate and every shot hit the target's head.
The streets were suddenly in chaos, with ghosts howling and wolves howling. Li Yongsheng finally woke up and shouted, "Lin Wen! You're crazy!"
Rushed forward and tried to grab his pistol.
But Lin Wen took two steps forward and continued firing. Li Yongsheng was about to pounce and kick Lin Wen when a police officer suddenly pulled him back and whispered, "Look carefully!"
Only then did Li Yongsheng notice that some of the passersby were very skilled and agile.
But Lin Wen's gun and bullets were more accurate, and he always accurately knocked them to the ground in the crowd.
"These people are spies?"
A moment later, Lin Wen handed back the pistol with three empty magazines.
"Give."
The police officers also ran out and found a large number of professional tools from the dead passers-by.
"Captain, there wasn't a single accidental kill. They were all headshots."
Li Yongsheng was stunned. There were so many people there just now, and these spies were no different from passers-by. They fled at high speed among the crowd, and even experienced police officers could not kill them all.
"How are you so accurate?"
Lin Wen said casually, "Massaging is something that only comes with practice."
Li Yongsheng suddenly came to his senses and angrily said, "What did you do? This is Shenjing. You can't just kill people without evidence!"
Lin Wen was stunned: "Is there any evidence?"
"Evidence?" Li Yongsheng was furious. "Where is the evidence?"
"Captain!" a police officer suddenly shouted, "This spy has it on him!"
"A lot, a lot, Captain! It's all black material! A lot, not just from the medical company, but also from within the Council!"
"What?" Li Yongsheng was stunned. "Why would they carry evidence with them? And stay in such a dangerous position?"
Lin Wen suddenly replied: "This is the short bitter melon man."
"ah?"
Many answers popped up in Li Yongsheng's mind in an instant, but all the words finally turned into just one sentence.
"How do you know?"
Lin Wen smiled slightly.
"I may have become more handsome, but my mind is still that of the famous detective I once was. No matter what happens, I believe there is only one truth!"
