Chapter 527 Destroyed
Lin Wen quickly realized that it must be the eighth magical power that played a role.
The name of [Sage's Spirit] is so cool, maybe it has some extra effects.
Lin Wen opened its detailed instructions and read it carefully.
This description is quite long. It is the longest description among all Lin Wen’s spell descriptions.
Lin Wen read for a long time before realizing that the problem lies in this sentence.
"Every time you gain a little bit of Taoism, you gain a little bit of ability."
The "Taoism" here includes all his attributes. Although Lin Wen has no cultivation, no spiritual energy, no consciousness, he has nothing.
However, he has a primordial spirit, and its power is as high as 449%, which is equivalent to a cultivator in the foundation-building stage.
Therefore, he gained the ability to "recover his soul faster".
[Every time you get enough rest, you will recover at least half of your soul.]
finally!
At this moment, Lin Wen felt that his life was finally complete. He was no longer a cripple, and no longer an empty blue bottle.
Although it is not that useful, the feeling of making up for the shortcomings is incomparable.
Ha ha!
Going to bed on time is indeed the most cost-effective behavior in the world.
——
Today, the work of the Serious Cases Court has been completed, and Li Linyue specially transferred Lin Wen back to assist her in clearing the review committee.
This part of the work is Li Longxing's top priority. The empire's legal system construction is the foundation of all his reforms. Everything left by Yu Zhongxian must be eradicated and his remaining poison must be thoroughly cleaned up.
A new council will bring new life to the empire.
However, there are too many crimes involved in the council, with many branches and vines, connections and entanglements.
If it were just that, Li Linyue would not be afraid. Almost all the elites of the princess faction had gathered, and most of the core members of the emperor faction had come. Three divisions of the Royal Guards directly accepted their orders.
With so many people involved, even the most complicated matters can be sorted out layer by layer.
But the problem is that Li Longxing requires them to strictly follow the procedures. There must be sufficient evidence of the crime and clear facts of the crime before they can be convicted according to the law.
Moreover, evidence must be verified to be true before it can be used as the basis for a final decision.
We must also abide by the principle of "focusing on evidence and the logical chain of evidence, and not easily believing confessions."
If there is only a confession and no other evidence, the suspect cannot be found guilty.
This puts a huge constraint on Li Linyue and others. Even though they know that these people are unforgivable, they still have to collect evidence before they can bring them to justice.
The imperial faction gave Li Longxing many suggestions, believing that this reduced efficiency and slowed down the pace of reform.
But Li Longxing remained unmoved. He said:
"Our ultimate goal is to establish a new order, a fair order."
"You used to hate them so much, wasn't it because they arbitrarily sentenced people, maliciously framed people, and ignored the law?"
"Now that we've won and are sitting in the seat of judge, you don't want to be restricted? Then what's the difference between us and them?"
"But," one cadre shouted, "we are righteous."
Another person shouted, "Everyone knows the evil they do. We are eliminating this evil, so why are we tying their hands and feet?"
The emperor's uncle, Li Yongsheng, a pillar of the Three Kingdoms, cursed him viciously: "Fool, when you say that, can I assume that you hated them before, not because they did whatever they wanted and committed many evil things, but because you hated them for having power that you don't have?"
As soon as these words were spoken, all opponents fell silent.
Li Yongsheng pointed at their noses and said word by word:
"In the new empire, the law will no longer be shaken by power."
"Remember, we are not engaging in factional warfare or fighting for power; we are establishing a new order."
Many cadres remained silent.
Suddenly someone asked, "But wouldn't those people be able to take advantage of this opportunity to escape punishment? A lot of evidence has been destroyed..."
Li Longxing laughed and said, "Don't we have the famous detective Lin Wen?"
Just like that, Lin Wen was transferred here by Li Linyue.
He was originally planning to return to Changshan County.
Lin Wen was a little anxious. His big plan had been shelved for a while. He had originally planned to carry it out as soon as Yu Zhongxian died, but he was delayed by one thing after another and it was dragged on until today.
But he also knew that his plan would be difficult to implement if these tasks were not completed.
I just have to finish things here quickly.
Lin Wen asked: "What difficulties did you encounter?"
Li Linyue opened a stack of files and said, "The main problem is the lack of key evidence. The facts are already clear, and there is supporting evidence. However, according to the strict standards for conviction, the chain of evidence lacks key evidence."
The blond man, Fili, curled his lips and said, "I really don't understand what your Majesty is thinking. Why talk about laws and systems with these extremely evil people? Just kill them and be done with it."
Lin Wen shook his head. "Xu Feili, punishing without teaching is cruelty. Such a vast empire needs a system to govern it. The previous chaos was all because the system was no longer a system."
"Just like me, I never kill people indiscriminately."
Ling was dissatisfied: "When they bullied us, they didn't care about morality."
Lin Wen laughed and said, "If a dog bites you, you should beat it to death with a stick instead of turning around and biting the dog to death."
Ling was furious: "You dare to call me a bitch? Your Highness! I said he was rude and vulgar, despicable and shameless, and he was thin and fast..."
Li Linyue scolded: "Ling! If you continue to talk nonsense, I will marry you off. Do you want it, Philip?"
The blond man, Fili, was overjoyed: "Yes, of course, she still has the aura of His Highness..."
After saying this, not only did Li Linyue regret it, but Ling was even more furious, chasing the blond man and beating him up: "Golden turtle, you're looking for death! Don't even think about touching the corner of Her Highness's clothes. I will follow the princess for the rest of my life and I won't go anywhere!"
Lin Wen didn't bother to pay attention to them and just stretched out his hand.
"Where's the dossier?"
Liu You moved a large pile and placed it in front of Lin Wen.
"This is the dossier on the Council Presidents. Of the eight, only one is innocent. He served during the Council's first restructuring and was isolated by Yu Zhongxian's gang. Of the other seven, two have already been executed. These are the remaining five."
"These are the files of the reviewers that have been sorted out. There are 613 of them in total, and all of them lack key evidence. Master Lin, I think we should start from here..."
"good."
Lin Wen interrupted him directly, picked up all the files and left.
Liu You was stunned: "Chief Lin, don't you need our help?"
"No."
Li Linyue asked with concern: "Lin, can you do it?"
"Yes."
Even when Ling was beating the blond man, she turned around and shouted, "You're nothing!"
The blond man ran away while holding his head in his hands, shouting, "Brother Lin, I've read the files. Most of the evidence has been destroyed. There's no way to find it."
"I have."
"What methods do you have?"
"Scientific means."
Scientific means?
Everyone was confused, but Li Linyue recalled how he managed logistics during the war.
Sure enough, in the evening, Lin Wen brought over hundreds of videotapes, all of which were the key evidence they lacked.
The blond man only watched a part of it and found that these video materials could just fill in the most critical link in their chain of evidence, without even a second's extra time, as if they were born for conviction.
The more Li Linyue looked, the more surprised she became.
"Lin, where did you come from?"
Liu You also asked, "Mr. Lin, some of these footage is from five or six years ago. How did you get the footage? This doesn't make sense, does it?"
Lin Wen smiled and said, "Haven't you heard of quantum theory? Everything you do will leave its mark on the world. I can dispel the fog of history and see through the clouds of the past. The truth will no longer fade with the passage of time. This is my ultimate method."
"science."
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Ling suddenly thought of something and yelled, "Pervert! Then you can peek at him as you please. His Highness bathes, sleeps, changes clothes, and me...you can see everything, right?"
Li Linyue's face suddenly turned red all the way to her neck. She sternly said, "Ling, shut up!"
But he was looking at Lin Wen out of the corner of his eye, and was obviously very suspicious.
The blond man's eyes were shining as he stared at Lin Wen, as if blaming Lin Wen for not sharing such a good thing with his brothers.
Lin Wen scratched the back of his head. He hadn't thought it could be used in this way. He only thought about how to use this thing to spy on the powerful people practicing and find the legendary ancient secrets. He didn't realize that it could also be used to watch beautiful women taking a bath.
But isn't this a waste of spell time?
He used a white giant star to strengthen [Luan Zhao Shui], but only gained three hours of backtracking time, and could only see the scenes eight years ago at most.
"No need," Lin Wen said casually, "I can just go and see it if I want. This machine is very expensive to use."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent and everyone looked at Lin Wen.
Ling's eyes were filled with disbelief and rage.
Philip looked at him as if he were a god.
Liu You coughed and was already thinking about what to do at the wedding.
Li Linyue's face flushed, but surprisingly she did not refute.
Lin Wen scratched his head, feeling as if he had been misunderstood. When he was about to explain, Li Linyue changed the subject.
"I believe in Lin's character, but it's best not to publicize his existence on a large scale. This is extremely taboo."
"Especially the Great Elder."
As soon as these three words came out, everyone's face darkened.
Lin Wen used [Luan Zhao Shui] to illuminate this future, and the picture showed a very dangerous blood red color, which flickered slightly, like a warning.
That’s quite powerful. I wonder if the fox fairy can handle it?
Lin Wen fell into deep thought.
Philip asked, "Your Highness, if we can't make it public, how can we explain where this evidence came from?"
There was an inexplicable cold light in Li Linyue's eyes.
"This is something we've been planning for many years and it's part of our grand chess game."
"The Princess Faction has never been a loose faction, nor has it been an alliance of speculators or dogs. We have faith. We are powerful."
These words made Philip and others feel very emotional. The Princess Faction had always been ridiculed by outsiders. In the eyes of the upper class, the First Princess was just a vase. As long as Li Longxing fell, she would be reduced from a vase to a plaything, and the Princess Faction would be even more vulnerable.
But in fact, Li Linyue does not rely solely on herself to attract people. The ultimate goal of the Princess Faction is to be the regent and become the supervisor above the imperial power.
This is the greatest cohesive force of the princess faction, but unfortunately it was regarded as wishful thinking by most people in the past. The imperial power is in jeopardy, and the satellite has not even been launched into space, yet you want to travel in the universe?
But now, it has the foundation to be realized.
A strong and exciting emotion suddenly rose in Li Linyue's heart.
These are dreamlike days.
Love and dreams all came to her.
There has never been such a moment.
She felt so happy.
——
The Princess Faction completed the liquidation of the Council at an astonishing speed.
What is even more amazing is that they strictly abided by the imperial laws and the principles of law enforcement proposed by His Majesty the Emperor.
The fact that principles were adhered to meticulously in dealing with such a hated enemy made everyone believe that the era of strict laws and regulations proposed by the Emperor of the Empire was about to arrive.
In this new era of wave, the Princess faction perfectly demonstrated their amazing power.
Such shrewdness, subtle planning, and far-reaching layout made many people look at the First Princess with admiration.
In a short time, Li Linyue's name resounded throughout the upper echelons of the empire, and for the first time, the skirt of the first princess truly reached the territory of the powerful group.
Only Li Longxing didn't believe that his naive and childish daughter could have planned this so many years in advance. It was most likely Lin Wen's doing.
But Li Linyue's way of handling it is correct. It can demonstrate the power and ability of the Royal Faction without causing fear among the top groups.
The most important thing is that it will not arouse the vigilance of the Great Elder.
Li Longxing's reforms have triggered fierce opposition from the elders. If the chief elder leaves, he will have no choice but to make one last attempt in advance.
This is the worst.
"This girl has finally grown up."
A slight smile appeared on Li Longxing's face.
"Get married soon."
——
Lin Wen no longer needed to take care of the rest of the things. He refused Li Linyue's request to stay and flew back to Changshan County overnight.
Philip sighed: "Brother Lin is truly a man of noble character. He rushes to do the hard work, but when it comes to picking peaches, he runs away faster than anyone else."
Ling snorted, "I think he has a new love. He must have hundreds of little fairies in Changshan County, visiting them every night. He can't stand it after being stuck here for so long..."
Li Linyue said angrily: "Ling! If you keep talking nonsense, get out!"
Ling pursed her lips and stopped talking.
Philip's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself that he would go to Changshan County to play in the future. I gave all the prince to him, so it’s not too much to give me two little fairies, right?
After the judgment of old crimes was completed, the new Supreme Council began to be formed.
According to Li Longxing's opinion, the new review council is only responsible for supervising the trial work.
The work of investigating crimes was entrusted to the Imperial Political Supervisory Office, while the work of investigation and arrest was entrusted to the Imperial Inspectorate General.
The prosecution, arrest, and armed forces departments of the Supreme Council were all abolished, and it was only responsible for reviewing and supervising whether the trial process of the case was fair.
In this way, the power of the Council of Review was greatly reduced, and the situation of "Who in this court is suing me?" would no longer occur.
At this point, the empire's legal system was completely clarified.
The Imperial Political Supervisory Council, which supervises all officials, will no longer have any constraints. It will become a sword hanging over the heads of imperial bureaucrats, taking a solid step towards completely purifying the entire empire.
Li Yongsheng, one of the Three Kingdoms Pillars, became the temporary chief of the new council.
Under his leadership, the first thing the new council did was to review the backlog of cases.
At the same time, the Imperial Political Supervisory Council began to investigate all past illegal activities.
——
Elders' Courtyard.
The imperial elder Lin Yabo and the governor of Xiyanzhou, Bai Liuxi, passed the inspection of the imperial garrison commander and entered the compound.
The four elders sat under the tree, quietly waiting for them to speak.
Lin Yabo bowed and said, "Good day, Excellencies."
The Great Elder nodded slightly without saying anything.
Lin Yabo knew that the Great Elder didn't like to waste time, so he immediately said, "Your Excellency, Your Majesty's actions have exceeded the bottom line of the empire and seriously disrupted the empire's long-standing unwritten order."
"Now they dare to investigate the reviewers, we can't imagine what they will dare to investigate in the future."
"Li Linyue's behavior is inhumane. She only focuses on others' shortcomings and ignores their contributions. This is a typical case of taking revenge on personal gain."
"Lin Wen, the governor of Changshan Commandery, has abandoned his post and aided evil. If this continues, the empire will surely collapse."
Bai Liuxi, the governor of Xiyan Prefecture, opened his mouth and howled, "The imperial faction is trying to create a country under surveillance. If officials have no privacy, how can they serve as officials?"
"After thirty years of hard work, I finally became an official, but they continue to do this. What should I do? Will there be anyone who can become an official in the future?"
Behind the long table, the Great Elder remained silent, like a statue.
Lin Yabo bowed deeply.
"And all of this is due to the reckless expansion of the Imperial Faction. They are so proud of their achievements that they simply defeated a weak Papal State, yet they act as if they saved the Empire."
"Your Excellencies, if the Great Emperor reappears, all the efforts of the Empire over the past 180 years will be destroyed in an instant."
