"Don't mind them," Lin Wen said. "If we need to cut, we cut. If we need to fell, we fell."
Chen Xingtai was a little worried. "But what if they come knocking on our door? They are under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Headquarters, with strong authority."
Lin Wen smiled. "Xingtai, I have to say, you are really smart. It's so easy to talk to someone like you. If they come knocking, we just fire them."
"But..." Chen Xingtai asked, "Is that really feasible? After we fire them, what do we do?"
Lin Wen laughed. "If I fire them, I won't hire them again."
"What if they come back?"
Lin Wen smiled. "Fire them again."
The members of the Democratic Party burst into laughter, and the butcher laughed so hard that he rolled on the ground. "Oh, this is hilarious! That's exactly how we should deal with those bastards. Sheriff Lin, my impression of you has changed. You're a good man!"
Tie San Xu Hanwen raised his wine bowl and toasted. "Sheriff Lin, I owe you a favor. Here's a toast!"
Yao Wang Sun Jiuchang also raised his wine bowl. "I regret not recognizing your Nine Transformation Golden Elixir back then. But I'm not a quack. I would like to learn from Sheriff Lin when I have the chance."
Lin Wen smiled and explained, "Sorry, sorry. I lost my good fortune at that time... uh, the Nine Transformation Golden Elixir. I was a little unhappy. It wasn't targeted at you. You saved a lot of people, and that's commendable."
The two smiled at each other, drank a bowl of wine, and let go of their grievances.
The stunning Red Fox also joined in the fun. "Why didn't I realize earlier that Sheriff Lin is such an interesting person? I don't object to your marriage with Sister Yun anymore!"
Lin Wen smiled and didn't say anything. He drank the wine one by one. On the other hand, Yun Qingshui, who was sitting beside him, blushed. She knew that Lin Wen had said those words just to dissuade her from committing suicide. But over the past few months, the brothers and sisters had taken it seriously and even accepted it.
She wanted to explain, but the words couldn't come out of her mouth.
Only Chen Xingtai couldn't laugh. It seemed that his logic had been cut off by Lin Wen. On the contrary, the rough and tough members of the Democratic Party accepted it without hesitation.
When Lin Wen finished his drink, he asked, "But, Sheriff Lin, does this really solve the problem?"
Before Lin Wen could answer, the butcher jumped up. "Xingtai, this time I finally beat you to it. You can't call me dumb anymore."
He raised his fist and shouted, "Sheriff Lin's meaning is to fight them!"
His voice was like thunder, and his momentum was magnificent, attracting cheers from the crowd. Many members raised their cups and drank heartily, feeling extremely happy.
"Don't talk nonsense! We are just a county!"
Chen Xingtai retorted.
"Sheriff Lin may have many privileges, but they are limited to internal affairs and cannot override the management of the Imperial Headquarters! If we use brute force to resist, we will only suffer greater blows!"
Lin Wen smiled. "Xingtai, you are too clever with your calculations. It's better to take a risk and fight against them in their own shady field. How can we win?"
He pointed to the northeast, the direction of the Imperial Capital.
"The Empire is just a paper tiger. Don't think of it as too powerful. If they issue any more bullshit orders, I will change them. Why should I? What will we eat? What will we use? Will they give me money?"
This statement received cheers from the entire room. The members of the Democratic Party listened with enthusiasm, feeling that there was no better words that could resonate with them.
The butcher even broke the seal of the wine jar and filled everyone's cup. He raised his cup and said, "Cheers to Brother Lin!" Everyone raised their cups and drank, full of enthusiasm.
Chen Xingtai frowned, lost in thought.
Lin Wen continued, "So, giving them face is already giving them a way out. If they don't know what's good for them and dare to send people over, I will kill the black ones directly and capture the non-black ones and throw them out."
"What can they do to me? If they dare, come and kill me!"
Lin Wen revealed a faint smile.
"If that's the case, I would actually admire them."
"But, Xingtai, as you know, it's impossible. The Empire values interests. Whether the benefits brought by a thriving county are greater or the benefits of a few pieces of wood are greater, I think the higher-ups will be clear."
"I understand." Chen Xingtai finally smiled. He had worried too much.
They had gone through so many twists and turns to come to Shangxi Town, such a perfect home. They had put in so much effort to build their home into what it is today.
This hard-earned achievement made him more afraid of losing it than anyone else. Unconsciously, he had become anxious and lost his former confidence. He cared about every little gain and loss, and couldn't even see the surface of things clearly.
"Sheriff Lin, you are truly a great man..."
Lin Wen interrupted him. "Xingtai, I'm just an ordinary person. I'm just repeating the words of truly powerful beings. You will understand in the future."
At this moment, the half-roasted wild boar that Ye Ying was cooking was finally ready. She sprinkled the last bit of seasoning and brought the boar to the big table.
"We can eat now," she smiled, her eyes filled with affection as her gaze unintentionally swept over Lin Wen.
The aroma of the meat covered everything. The crispy boar skin was still oozing with oil, dripping down one by one, soaking into the tender white meat underneath.
Ye Ying tore off the best piece of hind leg meat with a tool and handed it to Lin Wen.
"Brother Lin, this is for you," her voice was as soft as a mosquito, almost inaudible.
Lin Wen happened to be hungry too. He took the meat and started eating voraciously. It had to be said that this little girl's cooking skills were really good. The roasted meat was tender and juicy, and Lin Wen almost swallowed his tongue.
The members of the Democratic Party also felt the same. They ate and praised, "Ye girl's cooking skills are amazing!"
"Yes, this crispy and tender delicacy, perfectly blended with the aroma of various spices, makes my taste buds explode with just one bite."
"Whoever marries Little Ye Ying will be lucky for a lifetime."Ye Ying's face was flushed, but she was overjoyed deep down. Everyone was eating meat and drinking wine, the green plum wine perfectly dissolved the greasiness of the meat. The sour taste filled in the last piece of the puzzle in the myriad of flavors. With a sip of wine, the clear liquid washed away the meat residue between the teeth, leaving only the aftertaste of meat and the sweetness of wine. There was nothing better than this.
However, in such a wonderful time, Yun Qingshui was biting her lip tightly. She hesitated for a long time, and finally made up her mind.
After the meal, the officials went back to their rooms to sleep. The central room quieted down, night fell, and it was still raining outside, but it was not as heavy as before.
A figure quietly walked in from the right room.
This joint large room was where the party officials lived. They ate, slept, and discussed matters mostly here. The right side of the large room was the female officials' room, and the left side was the male officials' room. The figure was slender, obviously a woman.
She looked around carefully, making sure no one noticed before she ran into the left room.
However, on the beam of the room, there was a petite figure who saw everything.
Ye Ying bit her lip tightly, tears swirling in her eyes.
She jumped lightly, landing on the ground without making a sound. She wiped her tears and turned to run back to her room.
Arriving at the men's dormitory, the unique masculine scent hit her nose. Yun Qingshui's face turned red, she didn't even know what she was doing.
But since she was here, she ran to the room at the edge. That was the room used for entertaining guests, Sheriff Lin must be staying there.
When she arrived at the door, she intended to knock, but instinctively, she pressed her hand on the door latch. With a burst of strength, the latch broke silently. Yun Qingshui realized what she had done only when she slipped into the room.
But since she was already in, Yun Qingshui could only grit her teeth, close the door, and turn around.
The room was not very large, but it was tidy. The dim light from the street lamp outside the window shone through the rain curtain into the room. Sheriff Lin was lying on the bed by the window. The yellowish light on his face hid all his flamboyance and prosperity, making him look like a peaceful big boy.
He was sound asleep.
Yun Qingshui quietly walked over.
I need to think about what happens next.
