Imperial Capital.

Winter Palace.

Elder De Luo once again received bad news.

The entire Third Life Priesthood was wiped out. According to the final message from Commander Cheng Dehan, they seemed to have been ambushed by the regular army.

A unit with crawling listeners and satellite monitoring was actually ambushed.

Elder De Luo couldn't understand. He remained silent in the prayer room for a long time before issuing a new order for internal cleansing to prevent a second traitor like Yang Shaohu from appearing.

Lin Wen went to the capital of Minghai in Zhongzhou.

Zhongzhou has been extremely turbulent recently, with internal corruption, frequent problems, rampant banditry, rapidly deteriorating public security, and prolonged unsuccessful attacks on the front lines, causing the morale of the army to waver.

There is also a large group of journalists from the eastern part of the empire who are digging up dirt on Zhongzhou, constantly criticizing Governor Wang Bo'an, claiming that he is incompetent, unethical, inactive, and inhumane.

"After the great victory, why is there a stalemate?"

"Is Zhongzhou slow to act, nurturing a tiger as a menace, or taking advantage of the enemy's strength?"

"The big secret: the decay of the Zhongzhou government!"

"Who is responsible for the lack of action, and the refugees who died tragically on the road?"

The slanderous words filled the mainstream newspapers, causing the calls to remove Governor Wang Bo'an from office to grow louder and louder in the core areas of the empire.

And with the shortage of supplies in the empire, Wang Bo'an's supply of goods has become increasingly inadequate, to the point where even ammunition is in short supply. Meanwhile, the enemy has always been well-stocked with supplies, and the city's artillery and machine guns have been firing non-stop. Several reckless attacks have resulted in huge losses.

Lin Wen didn't know about this originally, but he learned from the "Guidance of the Immortals" that some officials in Zhongzhou have been withholding the food distributed to refugees along the way in order to profit, and even robbing the refugees of their belongings and luggage, leading to a large number of refugees starving, freezing, and dying of disease on the way to Qingcheng.

This made Lin Wen extremely angry. Every refugee is a precious opportunity for him, and they are all his karma and fortune. Not only have they extinguished their humanity, but they are also hindering his path to ascension.

How can such people not die?

Lin Wen sent Qin Luoshuang to negotiate with Zhongzhou, and Wang Bo'an's response was very simple.

"Sheriff Lin is willing to take on the task, and I welcome it with open arms. Kill as many as you want, it doesn't matter if you make mistakes, I'll take responsibility."

It is wartime now, and Wang Bo'an is the supreme governor. According to wartime regulations, he has this power.

If it weren't for him being on the front lines, he would have come back long ago to kill all these parasites. These people are used to peacetime and don't understand the severity of wartime regulations.

As a result, Lin Wen became the "Special Inspector for Wartime" specially appointed by the Governor of Zhongzhou, and Wang Bo'an even sent an envoy to urgently deliver the appointment letter and the official robe of the inspector to him.

However, no Zhongzhou official accepted this appointment. In their eyes, how could the governor appoint an outsider to kill their own people?

Therefore, when Lin Wen arrived at the capital of Minghai in Zhongzhou, the gates were closed, and no one welcomed him. Even the patrolling guards on the street stopped him to check his identification.

Lin Wen took a glance, and with the gates closed and not a single person in sight, he could tell that these soldiers were sent by the parasites to stop the imperial envoy.

He smiled and said, "It's rare that you're so attentive, so I'll give you a little favor."

With a kick, he hit the soldier's jaw, then reached out and grabbed the rifle.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

Five shots to the heart, instant death. The soldier fell, and Lin Wen gently caught the body to prevent it from being hurt.

Exterminate evil, good karma +10.

Not bad.

Lin Wen looked at the physical magic treasure in his hand, an enhanced Sabine rapid-fire rifle with an 8x scope, muzzle compensator, right-angle grip, and a 60-round extended magazine, without a cheek rest.

Hmm, it's somewhere between an ordinary magic treasure and a postnatal magic treasure.

Lin Wen touched it for a while.

"Good, the magic treasure has recognized its master."

Lin Wen had completely mastered this rifle.

The essence of the "Cleverness of the Spirit Cat" is absolute control over strength, and firearms essentially belong to the category of magic treasures of strength. All of its attacks are carried out with strength, unlike poison gas bombs, which belong to spell attacks, or electromagnetic interference, which belongs to spiritual attacks.

So, with the "Cleverness of the Spirit Cat," Lin Wen was essentially a master of firearms. As long as he fiddled with it a bit, he could understand all its characteristics and unleash its full potential.

He couldn't use attack spells for the time being, but using magic treasures would suffice.

Lin Wen rushed to the Governor's Mansion and kicked open the door. The guards at the Governor's Mansion knew he was the inspector appointed by the governor, and they recognized Lin Wen, so they didn't try to stop him.

"Master Lin..."

The chief steward of the Governor's Mansion and several officials came to greet him, but Lin Wen completely ignored them and ran straight into the Governor's Mansion.

A moment later, there were gunshots and screams coming from the logistics department.

The chief steward's face turned pale, and he hurried over. Just as he stepped into the courtyard, he saw a logistics officer running out of the warehouse, shouting, "Murder! Murder! They're killing..."

Bang!Blood splattered from his head, and the body fell to the ground.

The head of the internal affairs was an old man with white hair. He was always known for being steady, calm, and sticking to the rules, and he least liked impulsive young troublemakers.

At this moment, he looked at the body on the ground, his beard trembling, and an official behind him shouted, "Chief! Chief! Look!"

The head of the internal affairs looked up and saw that the warehouse was full of bodies lying in all directions, and the murderer was stepping through the blood, holding a rifle in one hand, walking towards them.

"You, you, you..."

The head of the internal affairs' fingers trembled frantically, and his whole body was shaking violently. If a nightclub owner saw this scene, he would definitely invite him to be the leader of the atmosphere group at a high price.

A large number of guards gathered, aiming their guns at Lin Wen.

But Lin Wen ignored them, smiling and saying, "Old man, you look good. Hurry up and investigate the dead and dig out their evidence."

The head of the internal affairs was furious, "You, you rascal! You killed them all! What evidence are you looking for?"

Lin Wen clapped his hands and laughed, "Old man, I didn't expect you to be so progressive in your thinking. People can't be judged by their appearance. Let's just bury them directly, it's more convenient."

The head of the internal affairs angrily said, "Nonsense! You arbitrarily killed the officials of the governor's office! Even if he is appointed as an inspector by the governor, he cannot kill people without evidence. Guards, take him down!"

When you're just trying to make great content at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

At this time, a fat woman weighing at least 200 kilograms squeezed in, "Wait a minute."

This was Wang Bo'an's elder sister, Wang Cuihua. She had a chance encounter with Lin Wen in Yaojing. Although she did not have a specific position in the governor's office, due to her special status, her words were second only to the governor and the head of the internal affairs in the governor's office.

"Miss Wang! He is a repeat offender who killed officials!"

Wang Cuihua turned her ten-layered chin and said in a deep bass voice composed entirely of fat, "Uncle Chief, it is wartime now, and there are wartime laws, which are different from ordinary times. The governor appointed him as an inspector to use thunderous means to clean up and deter these parasites."

The head of the internal affairs' trembling body eased a bit, but he was still furious.

"But he has no evidence! How can he kill people at will? They also have brothers, sisters, parents, and children. What about their families?"

Wang Cuihua said in a low voice, "If they really commit crimes, causing the death of frontline soldiers and refugees, what about the families of those people?"

"Of course, if there is evidence, they can be dealt with according to the law!"

Wang Cuihua smiled, as if a king flower had opened its thick petals.

"We can make up the evidence. If they really shouldn't die, we can blame Lin little brother, how about that?"

The head of the internal affairs finally came out of his disco-like state, but there was still a bend in his rigid brain:

"But the procedure is wrong. How can you kill first and then make up evidence..."

"Of course, you can. It's also allowed to get on the car first and then buy the ticket."

Wang Cuihua chuckled and shook her 200-kilogram fat.

"Moreover, it is wartime now."

The four words "wartime" finally explained to the head of the internal affairs. He waved his hand to let the guards disperse, turned and left, deciding to arrange the most rigorous and reliable officials to thoroughly investigate whether these people were guilty.

Lin Wen nodded to Wang Cuihua, "Thank you." In fact, he was planning to find Wang Bo'an, but it was good that someone helped him calm down.

Wang Cuihua smiled, "Young man, I really didn't misjudge you. Do you want to get on sister's car first, and then..."

Before she finished speaking, Lin Wen had already disappeared, leaving Wang Cuihua stomping her foot, knocking down a row of guards.

For the next hour, Lin Wen, holding a magic weapon, rampaged through the governor's office, and more than twenty officials of the governor's office lay in pools of blood.

The entire governor's office was in a panic, and the snow-like cries for help and wailing surged towards Wang Bo'an, who was on the front line.

At first, Wang Bo'an ignored them, but later, his nephews, nieces, uncles, and relatives all came forward. Except for his elder sister, all his trusted ministers also came to plead.

Finally, forced to do so, Wang Bo'an could only make a phone call to Lin Wen, asking him not to kill today and to come back in a few days.

Lin Wen agreed, changed into a set of night clothes, and wrote a few big characters on the book: "I am not Lin Wen."

Then he sneaked into the homes of his targets and killed these people who had made a fortune from refugees one by one.

But later, the situation became too loud, and Lin Wen's divine power was also exhausted. So he rode a motorcycle and quickly returned, leaving a mess in Minghai City.

Angry officials requested to sever ties with Changshan County and severely punish the county sheriff Lin Wen, but they were unanimously opposed by Wang Bo'an and the Central Army.

Several military commanders directly said, "If you take in the refugees, we can start a war with Changshan County on the spot! If you can't take them in, just behave and be a good person!"In the following days, Lin Wen traveled back and forth across the various regions of Zhongzhou, gunning down a multitude of corrupt officials and, in the process, rooting out a large number of spies from the Evaluation Council.

These spies were professionals dispatched by the Evaluation Council, tasked with bribing and corrupting the officials of Zhongzhou with money and beauties, the primary culprits behind the accelerated corruption of the Zhongzhou government.

Products of the Evaluation Council were always in high demand, with each one being at least a 7 or 8 out of 10 in terms of desirability, utterly delightful.

Often, in less than an hour, Lin Wen could gather a day's worth of good karma for Changshan County and indirectly save even more refugees, truly killing two birds with one stone.

Not only that, but while amassing a great deal of good karma, Lin Wen also confiscated a considerable amount of cash and beauties.

The cash was good, but the beauties were of little use; most of them were female slaves trained by the Evaluation Council or models, unknown actresses, singers, or white-collar workers who had bought their way in from various places, unable to bear the pressure of failed investments, and so on.

Although these people each had their pitiable and detestable aspects, Lin Wen did not have the heart to kill them, nor could they return the way they came.

After some thought, Lin Wen sent them all to the Changshan County Advanced Psychological Rehabilitation Center.

This high-end rehabilitation center was established under Lin Wen's strong advocacy. It covered an area of 110 acres, with complete facilities and a pleasant environment, staffed with qualified psychologists and medical personnel.

They were professionals of high caliber, hired after Lin Wen's personal certification.

To ensure their peace of mind while working here, Changshan County offered them very generous compensation.

To outsiders, this seemed like a tactic by Changshan County to retain talent, given that the county's environment was poor and high-end psychologists and medical staff were in high demand; without proper incentives, why would they come?

But in reality, after working in Changshan County for a while, they would grow to love it here.

These were truly kind-hearted angels in white, preferring to help the poor and children who had been beaten down by society to recover their health over treating the moans and groans of the wealthy.

One who brings warmth to others should not be left to freeze on the road.

Although many in the county government opposed this, especially Old Xie, who was in charge of finances, Lin Wen insisted that providing them with extra benefits was entirely appropriate.

After all, in this world, it is the poor who suffer the most injuries, and few who have struggled at the bottom of this twisted society emerge without being scarred all over.

Whether in spirit or in body.

Those as strong as iron are always in the minority.

The same was true for these seemingly glamorous beauties; although they appeared bright and beautiful, radiant and graceful, in reality, they had no control over their own fate and were actually victims of oppression.

However, life is varied, and among them, there were a very few gold-diggers who had plunged into the abyss purely for money, in need of Sheriff Lin's mighty power to personally rectify.
