Chapter 124 Opening the Mouth Again
On the stage, Elder Wang, contrary to his usual behavior, agreed with Lin Wen's words: "I think there is some truth to that."
Elder Ye frowned.
Elder Xu was silent for a moment before saying, "I think he's overextending the concept of the enemy."
Elder Cheng did not express his opinion immediately.
The thirteen governors originally looked as if they had nothing to do with the matter, but now they all had different expressions, and many of them looked towards Sheng Huaixuan. Unfortunately, Sheng Huaixuan's face was calm and nothing could be seen.
This matter was too contrary to common sense. Except for Elder Wang, the other three elders felt that they could not express their opinions easily, after all, it concerned the imperial army.
So they all decided to skip this matter.
"Next question."
Lai Juncheng knew that he couldn't go on like this. He had to reveal some shocking information, otherwise he wouldn't even get half of the votes.
He quickly filtered his thoughts, skipping over some minor matters such as forcing women, corruption and bribery, violating discipline, and killing people at will, and locked on an incident that did not seem particularly big, but would greatly affect the elders' feelings.
"Why did you declare at the first plenary meeting after taking office that you were going to become a dictator?"
Lai Juncheng quickly presented the evidence, including testimony and video evidence. These were all important information brought back by the ace spy Anders.
The staff brought up the display screen and connected the signal to the big screen.
The video was obviously shot secretly, the viewing angle was from the corner of the window, and it should have been shot with a miniature camera.
The picture is a little blurry, but it can be seen clearly. The sound is very low, but after post-production amplification, it can be barely heard.
From the picture, we can see that Lin Wen stood on the podium and faced the question from Baldy, and said arrogantly:
“I’m a dictator.”
"Do you have any objections?"
Hearing these words, three of the four elders looked gloomy, only Elder Cheng remained calm.
In the picture, the bald man turned around and spoke something loudly to the people in the audience, but the voice was vague and unclear.
The picture then zoomed in and focused on Lin Wen. He walked down from the stage, took out a big hammer from his pocket with his right hand, and approached Baldy from behind.
The latter was still talking excitedly.
The meeting room was in complete silence, and all the officials were staring at the big screen. Although they guessed what might happen next, they still couldn't believe it.
when!
Lin Wen hit the bald man's head with a hammer, splitting it open.
The sound of the passing was intensified and resounded throughout the venue. Many officials shrank their necks, as if a hammer had hit them on the head.
Even with the shrewdness of the four elders, they showed expressions of surprise.
The thirteen governors below the stage were even more astonished. Zhongzhou Governor Wang Bo'an murmured, "So similar, so similar! This is the disciple surpassing the master, the new wave surpassing the old wave!"
Mingzhou Governor Ge Guanglin smiled and said, "Direct and violent, I like it. This is how these cowardly and incompetent wimps should be dealt with."
Hezhou Governor Shi Yuan frowned and said, "Vulgar! Lack of elegance! How can a superior person fight like this?"
Shizhou Governor Gu Xuanli: "No strategy! Lack of wisdom!"
Longzhou Governor Gu Zhengyi shook his head slightly: "Too reckless, there are at least a hundred better ways."
The Governor of Xiyanzhou, Bai Liuxi, sneered, “It is Sheng Huaixuan’s tyranny that is inherited from the same source.”
Yunzhou Governor Zhao Chaoyang frowned and remained silent.
Even Sheng Huaixuan showed a hint of surprise. He only knew about this incident but didn't know the specific details. He didn't expect it to be such a violent and absurd scene.
The officials below were even more shocked and couldn't believe it. Many of them stood up and craned their necks to find where the brave man was sitting.
On the screen, after Lin Wen hit the bald man with two hammers, he fell to the ground and the video ended.
Obviously, only the part that was most beneficial to them was intercepted.
Just by looking at the reactions of the elders and officials present, Lai Juncheng knew that he had turned the tables.
However, people from the Dongqinzhou Governor's Office immediately protested.
Mei Xingan stood up and said, "It's obvious that this video has been carefully edited and fabricated. Unless the full original video is released, it should not be admitted as evidence."
"You know, everyone, the truth, part of the truth, and part of the truth seen from a certain perspective are all completely different. The last one is a carefully fabricated lie!"
This was a brilliant remark, which triggered a round of applause.
The council officials flatly rejected the allegation: "This is completely fabricated. If all unfavorable evidence is fabricated, then there would be no criminals in this world!"
The two sides started to curse at each other, and soon the argument became so fierce that they seemed to be rushing into a fight.
Elder Cheng stopped this meaningless attack and turned to Lin Wen: "Do you have anything to say?"
Qi Mu had already submitted all the relevant materials on this incident, but these materials seemed very weak compared to the sentence: "I am a dictator."
However, there was a video compression disc at the very bottom of the box. Qin Luoshuang had put a note on it, saying, "Don't hand this evidence over unless absolutely necessary."
Lin Wen thought about it, tore up the note, and handed over the compressed disk.
“I have the complete original video.”
There were even a few cheers heard in the venue.
Thus, the full version of “County Chief Lin Bullies the Conference Room.avi” continued, and all the officials focused on staring at the big screen.
What could be more attractive than the flashpoint of infighting among officials?
What's more, it is such a unique battle.
Many people here are local commanders, and some of them even agree with Lin Wen, because sometimes they really want to hit their disobedient subordinates on the head with a big hammer like this.
This time the perspective is a top-down view, which is obviously the surveillance camera in the conference room. It is clearer than the hidden camera and there is sound.
There was not much difference in the first half. Everyone just appreciated Lin Wen's heroic figure of hitting the bald head with a big hammer from another angle.
But Lin Wen's words became blurred, sounding like: "I just want to kill you."
The bald man's words were extremely clear, and he said everything he said arrogantly, saying that he was under the instructions of the Supreme Council, Minister Yu.
Everyone present had different expressions, but they all looked as if they had expected it.
The hatred between Sheng Huaixuan and Yu Zhongxian is well known to everyone.
Then came the exciting part. After the bald man fell down, five secret service inspectors rushed into the conference room and rushed towards Lin Wen at an extremely fast speed, but were knocked down by Lin Wen at an even faster speed.
Then Lin Wen turned around and rushed into the crowd, knocking down the rebellious officials and guards one by one. He was as nimble as a swallow, his moves were as fast as lightning, and he advanced and retreated like an antelope hanging on a horn. In the blink of an eye, he defeated the rebel army, which made all the officials excited and moved.
When Fang Dashan led the army to suppress the situation, the video ended and applause broke out in the venue.
The governors around Sheng Huaixuan came closer and said, "Congratulations, Governor Sheng. A strong general has no weak soldiers."
"Such a special little guy, I'm so moved, give him to me."
"This skill is smooth and natural, unconventional, and the moves can be changed at any time, with new ideas. He must be the disciple of a famous teacher!"
"Not only that, it's so concise and refreshing, and the movement is smooth. The control over strength and body is extremely high. It has reached the level of a master. It is the wave behind that pushes forward the wave in front!"
"Haha, awesome! Awesome!"
Sheng Huaixuan was also seeing this video for the first time, and thought to himself, "This kid actually has this kind of skills. No wonder he has the guts to not even form a guard."
"Oh, he's really young. I have to persuade him when I get back. No matter how high his martial arts skills are, without guards, he will be killed by a cold gun."
He smiled as if everything was under control, and carefully responded to the compliments from all sides one by one, which was also to build up Lin Wen's reputation.
I pondered this again and thought, "No, this video is a double-edged sword. It exposes the contradictions, but at the same time puts me in an untrustworthy position."
Sure enough, both sides then accused each other of fake videos, but due to technical reasons, it was difficult to verify for a while, and in the end they had to expose it.
However, due to the preconceived first impression, the bad feelings had inevitably entered the hearts of the four elders, among whom Elder Wang Wengong, who was extremely opposed to the expansion of imperial power, was the worst.
Lai Juncheng barely gained a little advantage, but it was not enough to reverse his current situation, and the involvement also extended to Yu Zhongxian.
The expansion of contradictions is not in line with the empire's current national policy.
The Supreme Council of Elders proposed the basic national policy of harmony and stability several years ago. For high-level struggles, the main focus is on restraining and calming things down, and for grassroots unrest, the primary task is to suppress and maintain stability.
Therefore, the four elders chose to ignore this content and skip to the next question.
Lin Wen now knows that the word "dictatorship" is a taboo in the empire. It can only be done but not spoken, not even as a joke.
The reason seems to be related to the struggle for imperial power.
The word "dictatorship" seems to be equated with imperial power.
Lai Juncheng knew that he had little chance of revenge left, so he had to expose the most important black material.
This is also the fundamental reason why he appears here in this image.
Lai Juncheng waved his hand, and his subordinates immediately knew that they were going to use their trump card, and hurriedly trotted back.
There is too much evidence to fit here.
Lai Juncheng closed his eyes and remained silent for a minute until there was a slight commotion in the meeting hall, then he spoke.
"Everything I say from now on is fully supported by sufficient evidence. Please refrain from questioning me in vain. Save your eloquence for sophistry."
"Thirteen days ago, at 3:07 PM, County Governor Lin Wenlin used his military authority to order Changshan County's garrison commander, Fang Dashan, to lead six hundred imperial garrison troops to breach Hangu Pass and cross the border into Qingcheng."
A council official came running over and pulled out a large amount of evidence from several suitcases, including witnesses, physical evidence, confessions, photos of the scene, and photos of the checkpoint after it collapsed, and presented them all.
There is a lot of evidence, but it is clearly organized, progressive, detailed but not complicated.
The main evidence is placed at the top, which is clear at a glance, and below it is a large amount of supplementary evidence.
