Chen Xingtai's face showed a hint of bitterness, but he still said, "I will, Sheriff Lin."

Lin Wen knew that this would be difficult, and they still needed a little help. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Yun Qingshui, come with me." He turned and walked out of the door, entering another smaller ward on the other side.

All the officials turned to look at her. Yun Qingshui's face turned red, and only Chen Xingtai smiled and said, "You go, listen to what Sheriff Lin has to say."

The butcher shouted, "Brother Xingtai, this, this isn't appropriate..."

The mountain chicken also said, "That's right, this is too inappropriate. At the very least, there should be a proper marriage..."

Dong!

The mountain chicken foamed at the mouth and fell down. Red Fox said, "Sister Yun, how about I accompany you? He didn't say that others couldn't come."

But Yun Qingshui shook her head and said, "Once you've agreed to something, don't go back on your word."

Red Fox anxiously said, "But going directly to the next ward in front of everyone, this is, too, too..."

Chen Xingtai interrupted her and smiled, "Qingshui, don't be nervous, go."

Everyone fell silent. Yun Qingshui tidied her hair and got up, walking over.

The room was silent, eerily quiet. Only Chen Xingtai calmly drank tea, showing no worry.

After a moment, the butcher suddenly jumped up. Everyone looked over, and his face turned red. He stuttered, "I, I need to go...go to the bathroom." He rushed out, but sharp-eyed people saw him enter another ward on the other side.

"No!" The monkey suddenly jumped up. "I, I also need to go urgently."

After Yun Qingshui entered the room, she saw Lin Wen sitting at a small table, writing quickly.

When she saw her, Lin Wen looked up and smiled, "Come here, I'll show you something precious."

Yun Qingshui's face, which had already recovered, turned red again. She slowly approached and sat beside Lin Wen, only to find that he was still wearing pants. Lin Wen pointed to the things on the table.

"Look."

Yun Qingshui turned her head to look and only saw a stack of papers filled with words. She focused her gaze and saw the first line:

"A ghost, Lin Wen's ghost, wandering in the empire. In order to carry out a sacred crusade against this ghost, all forces of the old empire, the emperor and elders, the ruling party and vested interests, the lackeys of the powerful and the slaves of capital, have united."

This seemingly ordinary text was like a sharp sword, piercing through Yun Qingshui's mind. She exclaimed, "What is this?"

Lin Wen smiled and said, "This is the outline I have prepared for you. If one day I lose power, get dismissed, get imprisoned, or get killed, you must use this outline to establish a new organization to resist and oppose the empire. Do you understand?"

All of Yun Qingshui's thoughts froze, as if shattered in a fierce explosion. After a long while, she said, "But, but Xingtai said that you have a powerful backing, a powerful force. He optimistically believes that the upper echelons of the empire have discovered decay, but in order to avoid intense political turmoil, they have inserted a wedge like you. When the time is right, they will rise up and eliminate all the rot and filth!"

"He also said that we should support you wholeheartedly at that time! Let you become the most dazzling one among countless new stars, so we need to gather more partners, gather more people, and add a great fire to your power!"

Lin Wen laughed and said, "Xingtai is indeed insightful, but he guessed wrong. I have always fought alone. I don't know when I will step down and be held accountable for all my crimes. The Governor is currently helping me temporarily, but it won't last. I am just using this opportunity, using their struggles and contradictions, and their lack of understanding of me, to develop during this brief gap. When he realizes that I have offended his closest ally, he will turn around and kill me."

Yun Qingshui couldn't speak, as if she had become dumb.

Lin Wen continued, "So you must keep this outline hidden on your person, memorize it word for word. When the day comes that I die, you can take it out and give it to Chen Xingtai, understand?"

Yun Qingshui suddenly became anxious, "No, that won't happen. How could you die? It's impossible. You are Sheriff Lin, who is invincible. Your brilliant strategies never go wrong. Your plans penetrate all worldly obstacles. Your heart is as hard as iron and as soft as silk..."

Lin Wen smiled and said, "There is no such person. After you finish reading what I have given you, you will understand. Alright, I've said enough. This is the outline document. Keep it with you, pay attention to keeping it secret. Don't let anyone see it. Besides memorizing it, you should also study it carefully."

"In the future, I will give you more information. It will be another great journey of rising, which can be compared to your surroundings and inspire you. But don't just copy blindly."

Yun Qingshui was stunned, her expression filled with sadness, anger, and helplessness.

She remained silent for a long time before whispering, "Then, why not give it directly to Xingtai? He understands much more than I do. I don't understand anything..."

Lin Wen stopped her words.

"Chen Xingtai is too insightful. He will definitely deeply understand its power. He may appear calm on the surface, but his heart is like a raging fire. I'm afraid he might not be able to resist spreading it, but that would be too dangerous for me. I might ascend to heaven or fall into an abyss because of it."

"So, I choose to give it to you. You must keep it safe and keep it a secret. While I am still alive, don't take it out or tell Chen Xingtai. Only when I die, can you bring out these things. Understand?"

"Otherwise, Lin Wen's ghost will come out while I'm still alive. Wouldn't that be embarrassing?""Furthermore, I want to tell you, people can change. No one knows what the ugly duckling is before it grows into a swan. You getting the information ahead of time is just like the early bird catching the worm, understand? After I die, when you reveal your divinity in front of others, remember to thank me."

He looked at her with a smile, his demeanor calm and relaxed, as if he hadn't just been discussing his own life and death.

Yun Qingshui remained silent, unwilling to speak.

Lin Wen gave a slight smile, "Do you remember the promise you made? If I save Chen Xingtai, you will agree to any of my requests."

He folded the declaration on the table and stuffed it into her bosom.

"This is my request."

With a smile on his face, Lin Wen walked out leisurely.

Yun Qingshui walked out with a heavy and gloomy expression. Suddenly, a crowd of people surged out from the wards on both sides. The butcher came up and hugged her shoulder, "Sister Yun, don't cry, I won't mind..."

"Get lost!"

Yun Qingshui rarely lost her temper.

"Don't bother me."

She walked into the ward, leaving a crowd of people looking at each other in bewilderment.

The butcher covered his swollen cheek and asked, "Did you guys hear anything just now?"

Everyone shook their heads in unison.
