Chapter 545: Embezzlement
As Li Longxing's reputation soared, the imperial faction also expanded rapidly. People from all over the country flocked to him like ants, and those who came were so many that they were connected on the road.
As the imperial faction expanded rapidly, it was naturally inevitable that some people would take advantage of this to abuse their power. Even though the Imperial Political Supervisory Council and the new Supreme Council worked with all their might, they could not stop the torrent of this army of dragons and snakes.
Lin Yabo found a perfect entry point.
He called Peng Pei, the general manager of his news media group, and asked him to actively respond to Li Longxing's call to use the media to supervise the empire, and to make every effort to find the black spots of imperial officials within the empire and report them in detail and comprehensively.
Pompey expressed confusion with his fat, pig-like face.
"Master, why? As soon as we reported it, the Imperial Political Supervisory Council and the Supreme Council quickly arrested him."
Lin Yabo smiled and said, "Let them catch them. We will focus on reporting the black spots and not the follow-up."
Pompeo still couldn't understand: "Aren't we helping him purify his faction?"
Lin Yabo shook his head slightly. "You don't understand. The world is especially harsh on good people. If a good person makes a mistake, they will be severely criticized. If a good person turns bad, there is no redemption. Not only will they not write off all the good things they did before, but they may even be a clear sign of hypocrisy."
"People are forgetful. They only remember how many mistakes good people have made, but they don't remember how good they have been to them. They don't care whether they have reformed themselves - that's as it should be."
"People are greedy. You give him one dollar a hundred days, but it's not as good as me giving him ten dollars a day—even though I will take more from him."
"So, just report without worry. Those untouchables will soon forget that their emperor is a good man. This is the fate of trying to overthrow the elite with pigs and dogs. After all, the empire belongs to the elite and the nobles of high blood."
Peng Pei scratched his fat pig face. Although he didn't quite understand what Elder Lin said, he knew what to do.
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
"besides."
Lin Yabo stood up, paced a few steps, and thought for a moment.
"Drive all of this scum under us to the Imperial Faction, and then expose all their crimes—they will all be the Imperial Faction's."
A cruel smile appeared on Pompey's fat pig face, and such a smile looked particularly terrifying on his white and fat face.
"As you command, my Lord."
After Peng Pei left, Lin Yabo looked at the sky outside.
Dark clouds are gathering beneath the clear sky.
A rainstorm is coming.
He whispered to himself, "Li Longxing, don't you want justice, integrity, and fairness? I will show the world how just, upright, and fair your imperial faction is."
——
Elder Luo Nuo's Beichen Group is the largest financial group in the empire.
Ever since the Empire began releasing a large number of hotlines, Rono had keenly sensed the opportunity to block the Imperial Party's economic reforms.
"snort."
Luo Nuo looked at today's capital line chart. In his eyes, the countless intertwining curves were like the most beautiful musical strings. He could always see its climax and bass points.
It is because of this ability that he stands among the top leaders of the empire.
This time is no exception.
"Li Longxing, you're done. I'm going to take over this hot topic."
On the other hand, Cheng Wei was not willing to be outdone. He had already planted explosives at the key point of the Huang faction's transformation, waiting for the right opportunity to detonate them.
"We have a sure win."
Cheng Wei smiled grimly, feeling proud of his plan.
——
Li Longxing has been very busy recently. After weakening some of the governor's and elders' powers, the Imperial Congress has been able to handle some major matters relatively impartially, which has given great support to the Supreme Council and the Imperial Political Supervisory Council.
The political situation in various parts of the empire gradually became clear.
The world is finally becoming a little more humane.
But that’s not enough.
Li Longxing worked hard to eliminate the malpractices in the imperial bureaucracy, strive to make officials work normally, standardize procedures and imperial laws, do his utmost to encourage business, and reduce taxes for civilians and micro-individual enterprises.
At the same time, we will do our utmost to maintain social order, crack down on regional bullies, purify the environment, and improve the civil rights of the empire so that their personal and property safety is guaranteed.
This series of actions seems to have no effect.
But after they were implemented for a period of time, the empire's economy suddenly began to take off, and the citizens of the empire seemed to have come to their senses, and they went out to work, invest in industries, and participate in consumption.
All indicators are improving.
At the same time, Li Longxing's manual promotion of the real estate and financial industries united a large part of the forces, enabling his reforms to proceed smoothly.
The empire is improving at a pace visible to the naked eye.
Even the usually gloomy imperial palace became bright, and the scorching spring sun generously shone its rays on Li Longxing's back, making him feel unprecedented warmth, stability, and hope.
"Maybe."
Li Longxing murmured.
"There's really no need to bleed."
——
Southern part of Xiyan Prefecture.
Yunxiao Mountains.
Secret biological and chemical base.
Moxeli came to the cage.
All the items imprisoned in the cage were his treasures, which were all high-quality materials that he had collected with great effort.
Their common feature is that they have taken Changshan County's secret medicine, the marrow cleansing pill.
Among them, the largest number of people are from the former human security forces of Changshan County.
"Xu Chaogong."
Moxley said in a thick nasal voice.
"I'll give you one last chance. If you can get the Marrow Cleansing Pill, I can let you and your brothers go."
Xu Chaogong, the former first commander of the Human Security Army, sat dejectedly on the ground. His withered hair and sunken eyes made him look like a different person.
He said in a hoarse voice, "Sir, I have told you everything. I only hope you can give me a chance and let me go. I will definitely find a way to get the formula for you."
Moxili smiled coldly and said, "Do you think I'm a fool?"
Xu Chaogong laughed sarcastically and said, "Sir, all investments are risky. How can you know if it won't work if you don't try? You should be able to imagine that this medicine is a core secret of Changshan County. Even though I am the first commander, I can't possibly know the formula. If you can let me go, I may be able to get close to County Chief Lin again, and perhaps there is still hope."
Moseli was silent.
He currently has a lot of third-level insect men, but there are still very few complete ones. He needs more high-level materials, and one marrow cleansing pill has such a good effect. If he takes a few more, can he mass-produce complete ones?
This thought tormented him and made him decide to take a risk.
"good."
Mosili said with a sinister smile.
"Chai Nu, bring me the insect embryo."
A burly man silently brought over a glass container. The insect embryos soaked in the viscous solution looked like they had already taken on some adult form, and the limbs under the thin biofilm seemed to be trembling slightly.
Mosili smiled and said, "Drink it, and the worm embryos will parasitize your intestines. Don't even think about using surgery to solve it, or you'll die miserably. If you can get the formula back within a month, I'll make sure the worms never wake up. Otherwise, this little cutie will eat up your internal organs and burst out of your intestines."
Xu Chaogong said nothing, took the glass bottle and drank it all in one gulp. He could feel the cool sensation of the tiny insect embryos sliding down his throat.
At this moment, he changed completely.
"Okay, go ahead."
Chai Nu opened the cage and let him out.
He said nothing and left in silence.
Mosili looked at his receding figure and said with a smile, "Maybe we can get some good news."
Half a day later.
Royal guards swarmed the mountains surrounding the secret base, their colonial uniforms gleaming in a single, cold light. Surrounded by dozens of Royal Guard captains, First Princess Li Linyue shouted through a megaphone, "Moshili, you have seriously violated the Imperial Biochemical Prohibition. Despite repeated warnings from His Majesty since he took power, you have committed crimes in defiance of the law. Your crimes are heinous. Surrender now and you'll receive a lighter sentence. Otherwise, we'll storm!"
Mo Xili looked extremely embarrassed and cursed: "This bitch, sooner or later I will turn her into a human tool..."
boom!
A huge explosion sounded outside the mountain, and the Royal Guards began to bombard the base with arc cannons.
Explosions continued, the entire base trembled, and ashes fell. The butler rushed over and shouted, "Master, Master, we can't hold on any longer!"
Chai Nu held onto the important information and shouted, "Master, let's move!"
Mosili's face was terribly gloomy, but he was forced to move through the emergency escape passage under the base.
The Royal Guards arrived too quickly and didn't have time to take many things with them. They could only take away information, a large number of Zerg larvae, and some equipment. They didn't even have time to capture the prisoners.
The main insect force lost at least one-fifth.
Amidst the rush of cold light, Xu Chaogong stepped forward. The prisoners all became excited and shouted, "Captain!"
"Captain!"
There was already a sound of crying in this shouting.
Everyone knows that the team leader is unlikely to survive.
Xu Chaogong said calmly, "Everyone has escaped death. From now on, go back to Changshan County and don't go anywhere else. There are many ghosts in this world, and they are very charming. I fell into a ghost's trap and escaped from Changshan County. Everyone must remember this lesson."
Jiang Jin, who was also the head of the group, shouted, "Chao Gong, go find County Magistrate Lin. He might have a solution."
Xu Chaogong shook his head slightly: "The doctors at the Royal Hospital have checked it out, and they don't dare to move."
Another regimental commander, Jiang Sheng, shouted, "The Royal Hospital is worthless! Do they have any marrow cleansing pills? Chao Gong, listen to your brother's advice and go find County Magistrate Lin. He'll save you! Don't be afraid of losing face. What's there to be ashamed of? County Magistrate Lin might call you an idiot, and that's what you deserve, but you risked your life to save someone, so County Magistrate Lin should also look at you with respect!"
Xu Chaogong's expression changed slightly, and after a long while, he gritted his teeth and agreed: "Okay!"
A royal guard came over, tore off the cage, and said, "His Highness has ordered you to be sent back to Changshan County and punished you to never leave Changshan County for the rest of your lives."
Everyone said joyfully in unison: "As you command, Your Highness!"
——
In the deepest part of the Taixu Mountains, there is a very secret backup base.
Moseley escaped, but with heavy losses.
His rage almost made him lose his mind, and he ignored Lin Yabo's persuasion.
"I must kill this bitch!"
"Xiyanzhou is mine, no one is allowed to get involved."
Lin Yabo sighed, knowing that it was impossible to stop it. No one could stop the current leader of the Evolution Sect from going berserk - they had some forbidden techniques, and even the Grand Elder would not touch the sect when he was in power.
"Okay, Moshili, but at least develop the technology to transform humans into colonized suits first. That way, we'll have an extra trump card."
Mosili opened his bloody mouth, and his voice no longer sounded human.
"Lin Yabo, I'll only wait for you for one day."
The voice on the phone seemed to come from the abyss, and even Lin Yabo felt a chill.
He realized that their final plan was going to be quick.
"Okay, one day at a time."
——
The Royal Faction's accusation against Mosili was unsuccessful due to the obstruction of Lin Yabo and others, and Li Longxing did not pursue it relentlessly.
He knew that now was not the time to deal with the elders.
When the empire is making rapid progress, it is not advisable to interrupt it.
Xiyanzhou is the key to this rapid progress. It is garrisoned by two generals of the Senate and the first princess herself to ensure that the exemplary nature of the reform is not destroyed.
But with the start of a series of attacks against imperial officials in Xiyan Prefecture, the situation in Xiyan Prefecture suddenly became tense.
Li Longxing felt uneasy. In the field of special warfare, the army was useless. Special warfare bodies had to fight against special warfare bodies.
He cannot allocate too much strength to Xiyanzhou, otherwise the power balance in Shenjing will be unbalanced.
At this time, Li Longxing thought of Lin Wen again.
This little guy's Dragon Group is a well-known super special combat group.
I don't know where he got it from.
"It doesn't matter. When he gets married to Li Linyue, I'll ask Linyue to talk to him and he'll tell me."
Li Longxing called Lin Wen with a smile.
In his opinion, Lin Wen should be very happy to do this - what could be happier than protecting the princess while stealing from the inside?
But Lin Wen's reaction was not what he expected.
Lin Wen: “Ah?”
The afternoon update will be later
