Lin Wen was surrounded by a large number of garrison commanders as soon as he got off the plane. These top-level guards under the highest council escorted him into the Emperor's Tower.

This treatment made Lin Wen very happy, which proved that the empire was very angry and definitely not in a good mood.

This was also imaginable. After all, there was a war going on outside, and the highest council had repeatedly emphasized the need for stability and no internal strife. Lin Wen had just given them a big blow by rubbing the face of the elder on the ground.

The grand hall on the first floor of the Emperor's Tower was extremely spacious and luxurious, with shining marble forming every structure on this floor.

It was Lin Wen's first time walking in here, and the bright light reflected in the grand space, making it look like a paradise, with even an angel walking out.

She was like a ball of light, attracting every inch of light here. She was so dazzling that the space around her seemed to darken.

Every guard bowed to her, including the garrison commander behind Lin Wen.

She wore a complex court dress, and every pleat on the dress seemed like an angel's feather. There was no decoration, but it looked like a fluffy light, jumping softly with her steps.

The designer arrogantly displayed the simple luxury to everyone in this way.

To match this dress, all her jewelry was made of crystal or diamond, and the bright light radiated from every part of her body. She had the same white jade-like skin as Qin Luoshuang, with an extraordinary and breathtaking beauty, but with a noble temperament, while Qin Luoshuang's temperament was more cold.

Lin Wen glanced at her and thought to himself, "An ordinary person."

Just as he was about to turn his head, he suddenly woke up, "No, I haven't reincarnated yet."

Looking back again, he thought, "From the looks of it, she should be the legendary First Princess."

Although he wanted to die on the spot, he still had to struggle on the surface.

If he thought as a guilty sheriff, at this time, he should try to curry favor and unite all possible forces.

Lin Wen raised his hand and greeted, "Hey, beautiful lady."

The First Princess didn't even spare him a glance, and her attendants behind her were all sneering, disdainful of talking to him.

Lin Wen activated the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart, and it shouted, "Unparalleled elegance, no light of the sun and moon, the lord of the mortal world, belongs only to you."

The First Princess paused for a moment, but then walked forward as if she had no reaction to his words.

The attendants behind her no longer sneered, their faces turned sour, and they looked at Lin Wen with hostility as they followed the princess and left.

"Sheriff Lin, let's go," a garrison commander behind him said politely.

But where his gaze fell, the enhanced "No Colorful Phoenix in Body" immediately sounded the alarm, as if a scorching ray had swept across his spine.

"Very dangerous."

Lin Wen thought happily, if it didn't work out later, he could just die on the spot.

The Emperor's Tower, with two hundred floors, had as many as thirty elevators. The garrison commander escorted Lin Wen to the last elevator.

This elevator had no decoration, and it was completely different from the previous gaudy and cheap ones, looking very unusual.

The elevator had no buttons or floor indicators, and it went straight up after going up.

When the elevator door opened again, there was a hall made of white jade in front of him, and the garrison commander led him upstairs.

Obviously, the last few floors had to be walked.

On the first floor, Lin Wen unexpectedly met Yu Zhongxian, whose aura was as conspicuous as a black hole. The Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart greeted him friendly, and he actually returned a smile.

If you didn't know, you would think the two sides were long-time friends.

Lin Wen thought to himself, "Is the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart too powerful?"

He was also a little worried. What if this thing worked too well and the elder suddenly thought he was the pillar of the empire and the material for creating a human?

He wanted to turn it off, but was afraid of being suspected of deliberately seeking death.

Just as he was hesitating, he met another elder on the second floor, who was none other than Ye Nantian, the father of the super sea king Ye Lingyue.

The Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart greeted him friendly, but he snorted and said in a low voice as he passed by Lin Wen, "If I see you bothering Lingyue again, I will kill you."

On the third floor, he met another elder, Xu Chengguo, the head of the Yaojing faction.

The Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart greeted him friendly as well, but his attitude was very good. He smiled and said softly, "Sheriff Lin, rest assured."

Lin Wen was suddenly flustered. What was going on?

What did this mean? Did he know something?

Just as he was feeling uneasy, another familiar acquaintance came, who was none other than Cheng Wei, an intimate ally of Sheng Huaixuan, and an elder.

The Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart greeted him for the fourth time in the same way, but Elder Cheng looked extremely depressed and angry, completely different from his friendly attitude towards him at the joint meeting, and appeared very hostile.

He lowered his voice and said, "Kid, have you met my son, Cheng Xiao?"

The Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart directly replied, "Elder Cheng, I don't know him and haven't seen him."Elder Cheng looked at him with suspicion and hatred in his eyes. After a moment, he coldly said, "Kid, don't try to deceive me. If I find out that you had something to do with my son's death, you're as good as dead."

Lin Wen was in a panic and had no time to pay attention to his threats. He followed the garrison commander's footsteps and walked forward, arriving at a huge metal door.

There were still many people coming out from inside, and it seemed that their ranks were not low.

Obviously, the meeting here had just ended, which was why he had encountered so many elders and princesses along the way.

"Sheriff Lin, please," the garrison commander said respectfully.

Lin Wen stepped through the door and found himself in a huge conference room even larger than the first floor hall.

The conference room was circular, somewhat resembling a Roman arena.

But everything here was exceptionally huge, as if he had entered the land of giants.

The entire venue was dominated by gold, red, and purple, giving it an exceptionally solemn and noble atmosphere.

In the center was a huge round table, with eight huge chairs next to it, all empty.

In the northeast of the round table, there was a platform with five chairs, four of which were slightly lower and one slightly higher.

Sitting in the four slightly lower chairs were four old men, presumably the rulers of the empire: the four grand elders.

Sitting in the slightly higher chair was a middle-aged man, with a faint resemblance to the first princess, and even a bit like that sticky candy, Li Yuchen.

Lin Wen suddenly realized, "You're Li Yuchen's old man, damn, that guy turned out to be the crown prince?"

The four elders all remained expressionless, while the middle-aged man smiled slightly, appearing very kind.

"Lin Wen, the empire hasn't had a crown prince for 180 years. There's only the heir to the throne now," Lin Wen said with some regret, "Oh, I thought I could learn from Cao Cao and use the crown prince to control the feudal lords, so that Changshan County could take off sooner..."

"Shut up!" a master of ceremonies shouted sternly, "No nonsense in front of the grand elders!"

Eyes from all directions were cast upon him, and Lin Wen's whole body was on alert. However, he was secretly pleased, but also warned himself not to go too far, to avoid self-destruction.

Once again activating the Seven Apertures Linglong Heart, Lin Wen suddenly seemed like a different person. Under the guidance of the master of ceremonies, he meticulously completed the etiquette of meeting the highest rulers of the empire.

Of course, this meticulousness was limited to facial expressions, neck, and speech. Lin Wen's movements seemed to belong to another person, clumsy and inarticulate.

The perception of the four grand elders towards this sheriff had decreased significantly, but the emperor looked at him with interest.

Subsequently, the political inspector of the empire stepped forward and began to accuse Lin Wen.

The political inspector of the empire was subordinate to the Political Inspection Institute of the empire, an independent department that only supervised empire officials, including the council.

It was the supervisory department of the supervisory department.

Therefore, it had always been a place of contention for various forces.

However, Li Longxing had strengthened the power of the Political Inspection Institute, promoting many new people to become political inspectors, claiming that it could restrain the council and maintain the balance of the empire.

The political inspector in front of him was a young man similar to Lin Wen.

Although he was young, he did not have the slightest hint of immaturity. His speech was calm and moderate, without any bias. He listed the charges and evidence against Lin Wen clearly and distinctly, leaving Lin Wen greatly disappointed. The evidence did not seem sharp at all, far inferior to the accusations of the council.

"Don't you have the ability to hand this over to the council and let the professionals handle it?" Lin Wen said in frustration.

After the prosecutor finished speaking, the special envoy of Rock State, representing the governor of Rock State, spoke.

"Please answer the first question, Sheriff Lin Wen. Why did you lead troops to attack Rock State, plunder the people, and loot food?"

Lin Wen sneered, "How do you know that I led troops into Rock State?"

The special envoy's face turned red as he pointed to the photos and images, sternly saying, "The evidence is as solid as a mountain! There's no room for your sophistry!"

Lin Wen didn't even bother to look at him, "The people in the photos are from the Goran Revival Party. What does that have to do with Changshan County?"

The special envoy immediately pulled out a photo of a cargo ship, "Then explain why the goods and soldiers looted by the Goran Revival Party appeared at the docks of Changshan County."

"Come on," Lin Wen said with an unyielding tone, "Can't I make a little profit? Can't I sell stolen goods?"

The special envoy was infuriated, "You're talking nonsense, making baseless accusations!"

"Silence!" the master of ceremonies shouted, "In front of the grand elders, shouting and making a scene is unacceptable!"

The special envoy was like a chicken with its neck pinched, unable to make a sound.

Is that it?

Lin Wen was extremely disappointed. With this level of skill, they dared to challenge the invincible keyboard warrior, Lin Wen.

The intensity of his online arguments with others in the past was beyond their comprehension. Just the aftermath alone could wipe out these small fries.

Come on, give me a challenge.

After discussing with his entourage for a while, the special envoy regrouped and launched another attack on Lin Wen.But if the premise is flawed, no matter how much you vilify the invaders, it's pointless.

Lin Wen couldn't be bothered to speak anymore and handed over the evidence prepared by Qin Luoshuang.

The evidence included numerous alibis, as well as accusations of Rock State's greed, darkness, cruelty, indiscriminate killing, and incompetent governance, with the most crucial point being:

Rock State, in its greed for gold, sold grain to The Papal States.

This counter-accusation was a serious charge.

The envoy panicked.

At a time when the Empire was short on grain, Rock State delayed the Supreme Council's grain requisition and sold the grain abroad instead.

This could be construed as collusion with external forces, endangering the governor's position.

Due to the rebellion of Zezhou's Governor Wu Jing Tang, the Empire was extremely sensitive to any governor's rebellion.

Most importantly, the envoy didn't know whether this was true or not, and even suspected that it might very well be.

However, worse news was yet to come.

Not long after the interrogation began, the Empire's Broadcasting and Communications Bureau sent an interrupting message to the Supreme Council.

"The Golan Revival Party claims responsibility for the terrorist attack in Rock State and has released detailed plans and partial footage of the operation."

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has sent a letter asking how we should respond."

It's over.

A chill went through the envoy's heart.

It's over.

A billion chills went through Lin Wen's heart.
