Chapter 358 Pressure (Subscribe)

Lin Rui stayed with Luo Wangshu for a full hour and a half.

After Luo Wangshu had done various enhancements for him, he also taught him a powerful 6SSS-level secret move.

This assassination attempt made Luo Wangshu deeply awakened. He wanted to do his best to improve Lin Hao's combat power so that he could have more ability to save his life.

Anyway, Lin Hao is a very fast learner. No matter what she teaches him, he can quickly master the basics and reach a very high level within a few days.

That night, Lin Rui came to the main hall of the Assassination Bureau and sat in the court. It was already dark.

However, because of the assassination case, all 24 cells of the Assassination Bureau were brightly lit today, and a large group of people were busy inside the yamen.

When Lin Rui returned to the Anti-Traitor Bureau, he summoned the three deputy commanders and all the supervisors in the yamen to the main hall.

Lin Rui first conveyed the leadership's intentions, which he had grasped during his audience with the Emperor and the three divine envoys, and passed on the pressure exerted on him by the Divine Envoy Supervisor to his subordinates. Then, with half-closed eyes and a cold gaze, he asked Deputy Commander Xing Hai, "Deputy Commander Xing, did you gain anything from searching Lijiazhuang today?"

Xing Hai's expression was ashen and solemn. "My Lord, there are indeed many traces left by the demons in Lijia Village, and there are also some demonic items left at the scene—"

Xing Hai was halfway through his words when Lin Rui interrupted him: "I'm asking what you've gained! Have you caught a demon? Have you found any useful clues?"

Seeing Xing Hai speechless, he couldn't help but sneer, "This is interesting. Less than an hour after I gave you the order, you were assassinated. Although this doesn't prove anything, doesn't Deputy Commander Xing have any doubts in his heart?"

Xing Hai's expression turned even uglier. "I will give you an explanation on this matter as soon as possible."

He also suspected that something was wrong with the people around him. It was very likely that someone gave him false information about the Lijiazhuang incident in order to lure the commander out of the city.

And most of his subordinates are probably informing the demon.

Xing Hai also had some secret collusion and cooperation with the extraterritorial demons, but if Lin Hao died in Lijiazhuang, then the biggest suspect would be him, Xing Hai. How could he tolerate this?

Lin Rui nodded, looking satisfied: "As soon as possible, if our assassination bureau can't maintain internal purity, how can we assassinate the demon?"

He then paused, looking down at the people present with a sharp look, "Recently, twenty-four censors from the Censorate have jointly petitioned me, saying that my Bureau of Assassination of Traitors is suspected of having violated the law and shielded the King of Han's past cases of cruelty to the people and the demon case. They hope that the Bureau of Assassination of Traitors will review this case.

I have already agreed to this matter. To ensure fairness and impartiality, this review will be led by Deputy Commander Tan Xiangsheng, with the participation and cooperation of the Censorate and the Dali Temple. Where is the Supervisor of the Jiageku? When the special task force reviews the case files related to the King of Han, you, the Jiageku, must provide convenience."

Only then did everyone realize that the Supervisor of the Jiage Treasury was also present. He stood below the crowd and nodded with an expressionless face.

They were all in a state of shock and looked at each other in surprise.

There was a look of solemnity in almost everyone's eyes.

Xie Yong, the ninth prison's supervisor, and Pan Dongfan, the tenth prison's supervisor, were both shocked and angry upon hearing this.

Lin Hao's intention was clearly to kill both of them!

Who was Deputy Commander Tan Xiangsheng? He was the First Divine Envoy's confidant, and had always been at odds with the King of Han and the Second Divine Envoy.

As for the Censorate, a group of upright officials headed by Chief Censor Zhao Yang are vigorously attacking the King of Han and want to put the Sixth Prince to death.

Lin Rui asked these people to investigate. Even if there was nothing wrong with these cases, he was afraid that problems would be found.

Deputy Commander Sun Shicheng also frowned, cupping his hands and dissuading him, "Sir, this is against the rules! Even if there are issues with these cases, they should be investigated internally by our Bureau of Assassination of Traitors. How can we allow outsiders like the Censorate to get involved? I'm afraid it will be difficult for the brothers below to be convinced."

He realized Lin Hao's sinister intention of involving those imperial censors in the case.

The commander did not think of solving the problem from the case itself, but wanted to arouse public outrage and bring down the two supervisors under his command.

They didn't even need to investigate the matter; simply leaking the contents of the case files would be enough to cause an uproar among the public and agitate the people. They couldn't do anything to the King of Han or the Emperor, but they could direct their anger and dissatisfaction at Xie Yong and Pan Dongfan.

By then, Lin Hao could easily eliminate these two people from the assassination plot with the help of public opinion from both the government and the public.

"Rules? We don't have such rules here!"

Lin Rui sneered and knocked on the table. "As the saying goes, the innocent are innocent. If they are innocent, why should they fear outsiders investigating? They can be open and honest to the public and calm public opinion. But if these cases are indeed problematic, then we must clear the victims' names and purge the Censorate of these pests!"

His eyes grew even colder, his aura filled with righteousness. "Remember this clearly, everyone. What I, Lin, detest most in my life are those who are corrupt, pervert justice, and harm the people. You are officials in the Bureau of Criminal Investigation, holding great power. You must remember the principle of 'thrift fosters virtue, and integrity establishes integrity.' If you are caught in a case of cruelty to the people, I will show no mercy!"

Sun Shicheng's face turned pale. He didn't expect that Lin Hao would be so unscrupulous and unruly in order to attack Xie Yong and Pan Dongfan.

He wanted to say something else, but Lin Rui waved his sleeves impatiently and said, "That's all for today. You guys can go down now!"

※※※※

After everyone in the hall had left, Li Li walked over from behind Lin Rui, looking at the backs of Xie Yong and Pan Dongfan with cold eyes.

This was a spy bureau, so he did not speak directly, but communicated with Lin Rui through private chat.

Han Guang Zhu Ying (Li Li): Junior brother, these two had intended to modify the files in the Jiage Library before. Now that you have forced them like this today, they will definitely fall into your trap!

Lone Shadow Heavenly Blade (Lin Rui): I hope so. Brother, please keep an eye on them these days and remind the Supervisor of the Jiage Treasury to be careful and not let these two take advantage of the opportunity.

Lin Rui had received a report from this supervisor before, saying that the behavior of these two supervisors was suspicious.

Lin Rui's lips curled up slightly, revealing a look of anticipation.

He was looking forward to the reactions of these two subordinates. It would be best if they could do what he wished and make some changes to the Jiageku.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if these two people are unwilling to fall into the trap. If they behave themselves and do nothing, they will be killed by him and Zhao Yang.

Lin Rui has a set of combined punches that can kill these two people.

After reading his message, Li Li gave a bitter smile and pointed at the stack of documents on the desk: I will naturally do my best, but the problem is that I am too busy now and may not be able to take care of everything. Junior brother, why don’t you send Wang Sen over to help me share some of the burden.

Lin Rui hesitated slightly.

Wang Sen's health condition has not been very good recently and he feels very weak. Would it be too much to ask him to be busy in the yamen at this time?

Lin Rui immediately thought that for Wang Sen now, working like a slave in the yamen would probably be better than being a slave in bed.

Lone Shadow Heavenly Blade (Lin Rui): Okay, I’ll have him come over tomorrow.

After Lin Rui agreed to Li Li's request, he hurried back home. As soon as he returned to the basement of the house, he contacted the Ringwraith.

"Ringwraith, I want the Seventh Realm Imperial Flame War Dragon of War Spirit No. 2!"

Tip: Do you agree to pay 10 soul points to get War Spirit No. 2 to agree to the gift? Do you agree to pay 100 million soul points to refine the Imperial Flame War Dragon?

Of course Lin Rui chose to agree. He was eager to refine the Imperial Flame War Dragon as soon as possible.

Previously, in the Imperial City, Lin Rui had never dared to do this. Who knew what kind of commotion the refining process would cause? So he had been patient until now.
