"Desperate struggle!"

Lai Juncheng shouted.

"Now the evidence is as solid as a rock, with both video and audio. Your so-called 'protection umbrella' is the most powerful evidence! What else can you argue?"

Lin Wen sneered, "Stupid monkey, watch carefully."

He turned to the staff and said, "Replay."

The staff rewound the tape and played it again.

The scene of Lin Wen and Long Xinshan sitting opposite each other appeared on the screen again.

"Stop!"

Lin Wen pointed at the screen, "Everyone, look at this scene."

Lai Juncheng sneered, "It's the scene of you colluding with dirty drug dealers, fantasizing about being the umbrella of evil."

Lin Wen laughed, "Idiot, think with your gut, look at this scene, isn't it just right, framing everyone in it? Look at this angle, isn't it that if it deviates a little, there will be fewer people?"

Lai Juncheng coldly said, "What does that prove?"

"Those of you who often engage in secret filming should understand how rare a proper angle is."

"Not only that, look at the height of this perspective. As long as you know a little math, you can calculate that the camera is 1.5 meters above the ground and about 3 meters away from the main characters. Judging from the layout of the room, the lens is located next to the corner on the left side of the door."

"The picture quality is excellent, comparable to a movie, which means that this is a professional high-definition camera."

"There is no tremor in the picture, which proves that the camera must be mounted on a tripod."

"Look at this scene."

He asked the staff to adjust the video to the last scene.

"Everyone, look at this scene, two people shaking hands friendly in front of the camera, isn't this scene familiar? When you attend a public event and shake hands in front of the reporters, isn't it like this, looking at the camera?"

"Under the circumstances where there are no reporters and no need to take pictures, would anyone shake hands like this with their faces sideways?"

"Moreover."

He showed a confident and sunny smile, as if he was giving a speech on stage instead of facing a life-and-death inquiry.

"They look at the camera, which means they know where the camera is, so there can be no problem of secret filming."

"In fact, professional cameras are bulky and difficult to use for secret filming."

"So, we can imagine a professional movie camera, mounted on a 1.5-meter-high tripod, located in a corner of the room, facing an imperial official, a heinous drug dealer."

"Two people are talking about transactions without any regard for the filming camera, what kind of scene is this?"

The venue was silent, and so was Capitol Hill on the video.

Lin Wen laughed, "Have you figured it out? This is a movie scene, it's obviously just a play."

"I think, except for giant idiots, probably no official would take the risk of beheading and violate the great taboo of the empire, trading with drug dealers under such circumstances."

He turned to the four elders, thirteen governors, and fifty senior members, showing a confident and sunny smile again.

"Do you think I look like an idiot?"

"Or do you think that the empire can tolerate an idiot becoming a local official?"

The elders naturally remained unmoved, but several governors showed faint smiles.

And on Capitol Hill, there was a burst of laughter, and no matter how much Big Nose hammered the gavel, it was useless. But when he saw that the elders had no objections to this, he gave up maintaining order.

Lai Juncheng was furious and shouted, "Insolence! How dare you speak to the elders of the empire like this! This is a great disrespect to the empire, and you should be executed on the spot according to the law! Guards! Quick, kill him for me!"

This sentence only had a huge counter-effect.

The eyes of the four elders all shifted over in an instant.

Elder Wang said in a low voice, "Lai Juncheng, you are just a department head, what qualifications do you have to order the imperial garrison to kill people in front of the elders?"

Elder Ye: "Have you gotten used to being lawless in the council?"

Elder Xu: "Director Lai used to be a mature, calm, and experienced person, how could he be so impulsive and stupid? I now seriously suspect that you have used gene skin technology!"

Elder Cheng immediately said, "I agree with the opinions of the elders, Lai Juncheng must undergo a comprehensive biological examination!"

Lai Juncheng's face turned pale in an instant. Gene skin technology is not omnipotent, it can only cope with normal tests. If it is a destructive test, it can definitely find flaws from him.

A great fear enveloped him, this was the pressure from the elders. He trembled and looked at Yu Zhongxian, hoping that this god of the council could have some way to help him.

But he only saw the indifferent eyes of the president.Suddenly, Lai Juncheng felt a sharp pain in his heart, followed by a burning sensation throughout his body, as if he was in the midst of a scorching summer. He collapsed to the ground, making a hoarse sound from his throat. His vision quickly blurred, and soon he could see nothing at all.

In the last moment of his consciousness, he was filled with immense regret.

The medical staff at the venue rushed over. After a careful examination, they shook their heads and said, "There are no signs of life. He probably died of a sudden heart attack. We need to perform an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death."

Elder Wang glanced at Yu Zhongxian and said, "Take the body away and hand it over to the Imperial Biological Research Institute for a detailed examination of the cause of death."

Yu Zhongxian remained indifferent, showing no emotion.

The four elders knew that there would probably be no results.

The Supreme Council had always been ruthless, treating human lives as insignificant and acting without mercy.

Even so, as long as the Council gave a hint, people would still flock to it. No matter how many they killed, the number of people wanting to join would not decrease.

This was the source of their audacity.

There were simply too many people in the Empire. Any place with a bit of power would attract countless people.

The Supreme Council was the cream of the crop, notorious for its cruelty. Although its name was often met with scorn and curses, when it extended an olive branch, no matter how much dirt and blood it was stained with, people would immediately transform into fawning dogs.

If they were lucky enough to get in, they would act even more arrogantly, doing all the shameful things they had previously criticized the Council for, and taking pride in it.

Over time, the Council had become filled with such people, becoming even more brutal and dark.

This was an unavoidable situation. The Supreme Council was the core department of the Empire. Any sudden changes would cause huge fluctuations, so they could only try to restrain it as much as possible.

Elder Cheng said, "Director Yu, do you have anything else to add?"

Yu Zhongxian slightly bowed, and a council official presented another piece of evidence.

This evidence detailed a large sum of money that had been funneled into the finance department of Changshan County through various means.

The official respectfully said, "Elder, this is the transaction amount mentioned in the video. Apart from the 12 million on the scene, the remaining 76 million, after repeated money laundering, all ended up in the hands of Changshan County."

"The transaction point of the funds has been identified. It's in an underground bank in Huaizhen, the capital of Changshan County. The restaurant operated by that underground bank happens to have a private room identical to the one in the video."

Without any superfluous words, the official finished speaking and respectfully retreated.

But it was this simple statement that had a great impact.

Almost all the governors shook their heads secretly. This evidence was too solid, completely blocking any possibility of sophistry.

Elder Cheng glanced at Lin Wen, only to see the latter showing a victorious sneer. He thought Lin Wen had some countermeasures, so he asked, "Lin Wen, do you have anything to explain about the funds?"

In reality, Lin Wen had no explanation. He just felt that he wouldn't be able to pass this hurdle and was calculating the details of his plan in his mind, as well as how much good karma he could gain by killing Yu Zhongxian.

He hadn't planned to speak, but when he heard the question, Lin Wen casually answered, "It was a gift from the First Princess."

At the same time, he had calculated the spell in his mind. It would use up all his remaining spiritual power. As soon as the result came out, he would rush up and kill Yu Zhongxian first, then decide the next step of his plan based on the strength of the garrison troops.

Unexpectedly, his nonsense didn't immediately provoke laughter or rebuttal. Everyone was silent or thoughtful.

Neither side seemed willing to speak, and the voting began quickly.

The voters were 13 governors and 50 senior councilors, a total of 63 people. The approval votes must exceed two-thirds, that is, 42 votes, to confirm guilt.

Because there weren't many people, the result came out quickly.

31 votes against, 32 votes in favor.

It barely exceeded half and needed to be reviewed.

The review would generally be held a month later. This month was the process of both sides wrestling. The senior councilors of Capitol Hill mainly made money through this.

This should be a result that everyone except the Council was satisfied with.

But to everyone's surprise, not only Yu Zhongxian, but also Lin Wen was very dissatisfied.

I was already prepared to leave, even had the first routine of entering the mountain gate planned out, and you tell me to wait another month?

No way.

I can't wait any longer.

Every second in the physical world was torture. Only in the world of cultivation could his soul find peace, and his Dao heart be pure and dust-free.

Otherwise, he would be exhausted to death just from sweeping the spiritual platform every day.

Everything he encountered, everything he had to face, was all harm. All the flies entangled around him were spiritual pollution.

Ants were tolerable, but flies were truly disgusting.

Lin Wen had had enough. He had specifically arranged his affairs in preparation for a desperate fight at the council meeting, striving for the last bit of benefit for Changshan County, fulfilling his last duty as the Sheriff, and then dying perfectly.

He had been thinking about this plan for a very long time.

How to trigger both the "Star of Salvation" and the "Person of Duty" without becoming the "Suicidal Man".

This was very delicate.

And very dangerous.

Because if there was a subjective desire to die, it would become suicide.

For example, if he tore his clothes and rushed into the palace to kill, the outcome would inevitably be death, but that would almost certainly become the "Suicidal Man", or even worse causes of death, such as the "Man who Kills Innocents" or the "Incompetent Rat".

These were the worst causes of death, absolutely forbidden areas that must not be touched.
