CH 150

Both parties moved to the large room at the back.

The room was filled with the scent of incense, warm as spring. Three long tables were piled high with delicious food and fine wine.

Lin Wen naturally took the main seat at the head of the table, with Huang Ren on his left and Huang Chongxin on his right.

Three aides stood behind them, while the women were all sent to another room to dine.

As the banquet began, Huang Ren clapped his hands, and two groups of women, clad in thin gauze and nothing else, stepped forward. They bowed to everyone, and then a sensual tune began to play, and they started to dance.

Huang Ren laughed, "These women are all professionally trained. One could sell for two hundred thousand in the capital. Sheriff Lin, you have a keen eye, what do you think?"

Lin Wen, while eating heartily, casually made some comments.

Huang Ren laughed heartily, "Good! Sheriff Lin, you are indeed a man of our circle. These two groups of female slaves are my gift to you."

Afterwards, he delved deeper into the topic, and Lin Wen followed suit.

Soon, Huang Ren was certain that Sheriff Lin was one of them.

He immediately made up his mind to use the trump card he had been saving.

Huang Ren, with a mysterious smile on his face, leaned in and lowered his voice, "Sheriff Lin, wait a moment, the real show is about to begin." He then got up and left the table.

As soon as Huang Ren left, Lin Wen immediately started a conversation with Huang Chongxin. After a few casual remarks, Lin Wen got straight to the point.

"Chongxin, was one of the girls on the stage earlier your daughter?"

Huang Chongxin's eyes lit up with joy, "Of course, that was my daughter, Huang Yueyue."

Lin Wen smiled, "I, Lin Wen, always get straight to the point. Can you part with her?"

Huang Chongxin's face broke into a wide smile, "Sheriff Lin, how could I not offer her up with both hands? She also has a sister, equally as beautiful..."

Lin Wen laughed, "That's great."

Huang Chongxin continued, "They also have cousins, aunts..."

Lin Wen immediately cut him off, "Just them will do."

Huang Chongxin nodded repeatedly, "Understood, understood. I'll send them to your residence tonight."

Lin Wen laughed, "I like straightforward and loyal people like Chongxin. It's a pity you're not the head of the Huang family."

A glint flashed in Huang Chongxin's eyes, but before he could speak, Huang Ren returned, his face full of smiles, "Sheriff Lin, look!"

The dancers retreated, and a ten-year-old girl stepped forward. She bowed to everyone and said in a soft voice, "Hello, masters. Hello, Master Lin."

The last sentence was obviously just taught.

Then she took out a sharp little shovel from her pocket, held it up for everyone to see, then reversed the handle and plunged the sharp end into her own eye.

Blood splattered, and she cried out in pain, her small hand trembling as she turned the shovel, gouging out her right eye.

She knelt on the ground, panting heavily, blood winding down her small face. The bloody, flesh-filled eye socket was horrifying to look at.

But she still managed to scoop up her eye with the shovel and held it high above her head.

The room immediately erupted in cheers, "Good!"

"Excellent!"

"Perfect performance."

"This is top-notch merchandise!"

"We're lucky to witness this thanks to Sheriff Lin."

Huang Ren's face was full of smug smiles, he gestured, "Please, Sheriff Lin."

Lin Wen didn't say a word.

Huang Ren laughed triumphantly, "Ha! Sheriff Lin has never seen this before, let me show you."

He lifted his wine cup, the girl poured her eye into it, he drained it in one gulp, and sighed, "The beauty of the world..."

Bang!

His head exploded, scattering red, yellow, and white all over the ground.

"Strength of Nine Oxen and Two Tigers"

"Agility of the Spirit Cat"

Two spells instantly entered his body. Lin Wen moved like a shadow, striking like lightning, instantly causing a row of heads on his right to explode, their headless bodies falling one after another.

The people on the other side screamed and stood up, but before they could do anything else, Lin Wen stepped over, his iron fist like the wind, and another row of headless bodies fell.

In the blink of an eye, the room was filled with corpses, blood flowing everywhere, leaving only Huang Chongxin.

Lin Wen shouted, "Cheng Jianxing, make the call!" and flew out.

The three aides were pale, without a trace of blood. The scene of more than a dozen heads being blown up in front of their eyes was beyond their imagination.

But as gamblers who had staked their futures, they barely held on.

The man in the middle quickly took out a satellite phone, which only had one number - Qin Luoshuang's.

Just as Cheng Jianxing was about to dial, he suddenly froze, "What should I say?"

A middle-aged man next to him snatched the phone, "I'll do it!"

Behind them, Huang Chongxin, terrified, collapsed to the ground. A smell of urine came from his crotch, he had wet his pants.

Another aide, suppressing his nausea, said, "What are you afraid of! You're about to become the head of the Huang family. Sheriff Lin killed those people for you."

The little girl with one eye missing knelt in the center, her face full of confusion. Without her master's command, she didn't know what to do.

Outside the courtyard, Lin Wen activated his "Aura Perception" spell. He killed one person every three steps, from the inner courtyard to the outer courtyard, from the outer courtyard to the side courtyard. Screams, cries, pleas for mercy filled his ears, but he ignored them.

Shouts, roars, and yells were like a breeze brushing his face, dust hitting his body, he didn't care.

Groups of servants, guards, slave owners, trainers, and accomplices fell under his iron fist.

Not until the blood reached his ankles, not until no one was standing in his sight, did he stop.

At this moment, a large number of inspectors broke in. At the sight of the bloody scene, some vomited on the spot, some covered their mouths and ran away.

Only Qin Luoshuang and her agents walked in without changing their expressions.

Qin Luoshuang's face was slightly serious, this was not quite according to the plan.

After the crows briefly examined the bodies, their expressions varied, and their eyes were full of awe when they looked at Lin Wen. Before, they had ignored Lin Wen, only obeying Qin Luoshuang's orders.Ignoring the outsiders, Lin Wen said to Qin Luoshuang, "Thoroughly search every place. This is a slave master's den. Rescue and release all the slaves. They may have suffered inhuman abuse. You need to establish a rehabilitation center, properly settle them, eliminate their psychological barriers, and restore them to normal people."

Qin Luoshuang's gaze softened, and she nodded gently, "Don't worry, I will."

"I left one person alive. Use him as a puppet and contact the slave trafficking network in the name of the Huang family. Once things calm down, squeeze out all his value and kill him."

Qin Luoshuang nodded, "I understand." She turned to leave.

"Wait."

Lin Wen, his hand covered in fresh blood, stopped her.

"Your empire, are there many people like this?"

Qin Luoshuang lowered her head slightly and whispered, "Everywhere."

"Alright."

Lin Wen seemed to have expected this, showing no surprise.

"From now on, the plan changes. You start cleaning up directly, no need to slowly tighten the net."

"Kill."

Lin Wen said in a tone as if he was making casual conversation.

"All who are guilty."

"Kill without mercy."

He let go of Qin Luoshuang's hand and walked out, stepping over the blood.

Even if there might be some losses.

Even if he didn't maximize the benefits.

He had no regrets.

Otherwise, his conscience wouldn't be clear.

This world.

Only blood can wash away sins.

——

After the moon reached its zenith, the hustle and bustle of Huai Town finally quieted down.

In one day, Qin Luoshuang's crows, along with the inspection guards, raided eleven houses, detaining or executing over six hundred people.

Most of those executed were killed by Lin Wen.

He directly broke into the homes of the suspects, and once he started "Observing Qi and Judging People", a massacre began, with few survivors.

The confiscated properties were initially estimated to be worth over three hundred million.

And all this was far from over.

Tomorrow, the cleansing operation would continue.

The security guards and inspection guards had surrounded the entire Huai Town, no one could leave.

Terrifying rumors spread throughout Huai Town, but for the ordinary people, there was nothing to fear, because the ones who suffered were the rich who had long been rampant in Huai Town.

No one understood better than the masses who were the villains causing trouble.

Who was good and who was evil, they knew clearly from their personal experiences.

The eyes of the masses were sharp.

That was the point.

That's why Lin Wen had told Fang Yaobo that as long as he went among the people, he would understand who was good and who was bad.

That night, the morale of the security guards was somewhat unstable. The newly appointed deputy director, Tian Hu, was brave but inexperienced and had difficulty commanding respect.

The inspection guards were better. The "crows" were elite agents, very good at suppressing and controlling their subordinates.

With the inspection guards maintaining order, the security guards barely stabilized.

The next day, the cleansing continued until the evening when they encountered some resistance.

But Lin Wen led the charge, directly shattering the fragile defenses of the resistors.

On the third day.

Huai Town entered a state of strict control, implementing a curfew.

Even during the day, there were only a few pedestrians on the street, mostly security guards and inspection guards in dark uniforms, and special agents, the crows, in grey coats and large hats.

Fang Dashan had specifically dispatched 1200 soldiers to assist in the military control.

Qin Luoshuang's counter-revolutionary committee was also initially established. The members were diverse, including some of her old subordinates, retired chief judges hired at high salaries from all over the empire, marginalized councilors, and some inspection guards who were well-known but frustrated at the grassroots level.

Since it was a work of settling accounts with those who had illegally amassed wealth, the organization's program and action guidelines needed to be particularly cautious, and the organization's construction and supervision had to be very strict, otherwise, there would be a large number of wrongful cases.

Lin Wen had no interest in participating in the specific work, but he told Qin Luoshuang that if there were any doubtful or undecided cases, she should come to him.

If there were any evidence or intelligence that couldn't be found, she should also come to him.

Lin Wen's explanation was that an excellent Dragon Group member could solve all problems.

Although Qin Luoshuang didn't say anything, she was a little unhappy in her heart. The implication of Lin Wen's words was that he believed his Dragon Group was far superior to her special service organization.

This made her feel a bit unconvinced.

Of course, Qin Luoshuang had no intention of competing. She obeyed all of Lin Wen's arrangements.

Even if they were unreasonable.
