Divine Throne of Primordial Blood

Chapter 727 Persecution

The questioning is over.

Since Sun Mo was mute by Su Shen, Lin Wenjun knew that he could not bring Su Shen down. Although he could continue to ask Su Shen about the Sanyang medicine, he knew that Su Shen could push things out easily.

He pushes witnesses clean, not to mention the lack of witnesses?

In fact, it doesn't matter how beneficial Su Shen's mouth is. What matters is how many people support him at Liujin Fortress.

In a true system of power, truth and justice are sometimes the least important, the most important is power, the supporter.

As a hero in saving Tianwei Army, Su Shen received the gratitude, gratitude and support of most generals in Liujin Fortress, so don't say that Su Shen easily defeated Sun Mo, even if he can't refute Sun Mo, the generals will protect him. Conversely, if there is no such support, even if Su Shen speaks of smallpox crash, if everyone wants him dead, it doesn't matter whether Sun Mo or not, everyone can find an excuse to let him die.

Here, justice, justice, truth, tongue-in-cheek rhetoric, are not ineffective, but their role determines the extent to which human feelings and credit are consumed.

If Su Shen was silenced by Sun Mutually, then Su Shen would still be acquitted, but this belonged to the general to jointly protect him, equivalent to using his name to save Tianwei's army, in exchange for offsetting the punishment of collusion with the Hall of Eternal Life, and owe a bunch of general's human debt.

On the contrary, Sun Mo was refuted, Su Shen self-incriminated, his credit would not be offset, and the human debt would be weakened to the lowest level. At best, it would be a "thank you for fair law enforcement”.

Thus, justice is here, determined by cost, not by results, which are determined by power relations.

Perhaps that is the limitation and tragedy of judicial trials in this era, and perhaps not only this era.

However, for Lin Wenjun, this is nothing.

Nor did he intend to dispose of Su Shen.

Although Lin Wenjun was very dissatisfied with Su Shen's rescue of Tianwei Army and the invisible beating in his face, he did all this today, not because of this, but for more important reasons.

It's late at night.

Deputy Handsome Mansion, Lin Wenjun stood in the yard with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky, seemed to be thinking about something.

Qiu Qingzhi walked over: “Your Highness. ”

“Well, did you see what happened today?” Lin Wenjun asked.

Qiu Qingzhi replied: "Yes, the low office is clearly seen. Two military lords found Su Shen guilty, three neutral, five found Su Shen innocent, and more than half of the other officials supported Su Shen. His Royal Highness's support in the Liquid Fortress is far from sufficient. ”

Lin Wenjun snorted: “There is justice, there is no position. Even if such a person is good enough, how can he have the ability, and what good is it for me? ”

Qiu Qingzhi immediately said: “Your Highness is not in a hurry. After all, His Highness is in charge of Liujin Fortress for a short time. It takes time to firmly establish the foundation. ”

“I am a prince, and their loyalty to me is a matter of scripture and earth, and they want me to spend my time with them?” Lin Wenjun said harshly.

Qiu Qingzhi sighed.

Lin Wenjun is not stupid, but like the overwhelming majority of princes, he inevitably has the feeling that the world should belong to him.

One of the important purposes of interrogating Su Shen is to see how many supporters Liujin Fortress has.

True hearts and minds, true supporters, who don't care about justice and justice, will only take a stand!

In Lin Wenjun's eyes, the generals of Liujin Fortress should have turned naturally towards him.

Unfortunately, that is not the case.

As can be seen from the Su Shen affair, at least half of the generals did not buy his account, and a quarter wobbled indefinitely. Only a quarter of the generals who did not arrive insisted on standing by Lin Wenjun.

Even so, it is questionable how many of these people are truly credible.

As a result, Lin Wenjun is naturally very dissatisfied.

Fortunately, he was still awake, and after saying this, he said to himself, "Of course, I know, I was kind of in a hurry a while ago. ”

This is a description of the Tianwei Army, which amounts to a mistake in disguise.

Unfortunately, this mistake is neither sincere nor just said to Qiu Qingzhi alone, so it makes no sense.

Qiu Qingzhi bowed his head and pretended not to hear him. "Your Highness has a big heart, nothing wrong. ”

In his heart, he sighed. No wonder His Royal Highness thought he was complacent. He was surrounded by such a man of praise. Even if the prince said he was wrong, he had to say he was right. It would be strange if he had not grown up a little proud of himself for decades. Too bad he said the prince was wrong, and he didn't do it. Those who thought they could wake up the prince and teach him to be a man eventually became dead bones on the side of the road.

Lin Wenjun was very satisfied with Qiu Qingzhi's statement. When he humbly said that he had made a mistake, what was most needed was not for the other party to say "Yes, you were wrong”, but for "No, you were not wrong, you were also for a larger goal...”

Qiu Qingzhi did well so he could stay with himself.

Lin Wenjun said: “What do you think of Su Shen? ”

Qiu Qingzhi thought about it and replied: “It is not easy to save Tianwei Army. ”

I know that Lin Wenjun doesn't like Su Shen, but Qiu Qingzhi cannot yet say that Su Shen is a weak chicken and can only testify by Tianwei Army.

It's hard to talk to the boss. Every word has to be said at your discretion.

Lin Wenjun sighed: “He is a great person, like his teacher, it is a problem. For the peace of mind of the guys in the country, I have to deal with this problem. ”

Lin Wenjun felt bitter.

Being a prince, he went to please others, to please a group of nobles in the country, to get their support, so he went to deal with Shikai, and the result was to offend a lot of generals in Liujin Fortress. Without dying, Tianwei Army returned, was beaten in the face, did not speak ill, and had to be blamed by the great nobles in the country.

How can Lin Wenjun not feel bored?

Now Shikai is back, Su Shen is back, and the pressure on Lin Wenjun suddenly increases.

Now he has to deal not only with Shi Kai, but also with Su Shen.

Because of the news from domestic sources, the hemolytic totem was invented by Su Shen, and in the days to come, the shock shaking method, may also come from Su Shen's hand.

The great nobles did not want this to happen, but continued to entrust it to him.

Shit, how could my cousin have worked for the noblemen if his fucking third brother hadn't put so much pressure on himself over and over again?

Lin Wenjun flashed countless thoughts in his mind. He was so irritated that his face gradually became difficult to see.

Qiu Qingzhi saw that Lin Wenjun was in a bad mood. “Maybe try to pull him together? ”

Lin Wenjun shook his head: "Do you know how much money he made selling shock boiling blood method and shock opening yang method? Hundreds of millions of source stones! The only way he can save Tianwei's army is if he has more money than the royal family! You let me tell him, kid, if you invented a bloodless shock shake, don't publish it, we'll give you enough. How much should I give? How much can I give you? ”

Qiu Qingzhi was mute.

Shi Kaiwana doesn't want money at all, just because he gave his invention to his disciples completely, Su Shen is too rich.

The common feature of not having money and being too rich is not being able to buy it.

At least you can't buy it with money.

This is also why Lin Wenjun directly caused Shi to open the desert.

It's not that I didn't think of a soft knife, but it doesn't mean anything to the stone.

If you can't buy it, you can only use your life.

So at the end of the day, we have to use coercion as an option.

The only question is what to use to coerce.

Force?

Power?

Lin Wenjun walked repeatedly and thought about it for a while. He said: "Su Shen Gong Hun is too heavy. Forced repression can only provoke dissatisfaction. This can't be done clearly. I'm afraid it can only be hidden. ”

Qiu Qingzhi cautiously misworded: “If it is done in secret, His Majesty's significance...”

If Su Shen was dealt with by assassination or other means, there was no need to use the prince's honor, and the great nobles themselves could solve it.

Lin Wenjun can choose this way, but it also undoubtedly means that he is powerless in power management. So the use of assassinations by those in power implies a failure in itself.

From this point of view, even if Lin Wenjun succeeded in assassinating Su Shen, it was a failure.

Political failure.

After listening to Qiu Qingzhi's reminder, Lin Wenjun also had some headaches.

He asked, "This Su Shen is really not a good idea. ”

Qiu Qingzhi replied: “Actually, it's not just about money and life. Some things that don't seem important to us may be important to others. ”

“Hmm? What do you mean?” Lin Wenjun asked.

Qiu Qingzhi said: "Has Your Highness ever thought of using anyone around him? ”

Lin Wenjun shook his head immediately: “People around him? It's useless. He and Lin Bei Su's family have already fallen apart and now they see each other as strangers. The only thing he cared about was his mother, but he had already secretly picked him up, and now nobody knows where... this guy was ready. ”

Qiu Qingzhi immediately said: “I am not referring to those around me. ”

“Not them?” Lin Wenjun stunned: “Who does that mean? ”

“Tianwei Army. ”

“Tianwei Army?” Lin Wenjun was stunned.

The old Tianwei Army has been dispersed by Lin Wenjun. The new Tianwei Army is not many old people anymore. Therefore, Lin Wenjun stayed for a while before reacting. Qiu Qingzhi refers to Tianwei Army.

Qiu Qingzhi said: "Yes, that's them. Tianwei Army was rescued by Su Sin. They and Su Shen established deep feelings, as can be seen from what they said when they returned earlier. Emotions are two-way. Those Tianwei veterans are grateful to Su Shen, who must also attach great importance to their friendship. If they have difficulty..."

Lin Wenjun understood: “But these people can't be dealt with together. ”

“That is why I advised His Highness to disperse them. Broken Tianwei Army, one by one, will be easy. We don't need to deal with all the Tianwei veterans, just part of it is enough to force Su Sheng down. ”
