Chapter 82: Always Kind
Chapter 82: Always kind
In the last sentence, Lin Feng's voice became extremely stern, and after hearing this, Governor Vick's last line of defense collapsed. He sat back on the chair, his face turned pale, and he couldn't speak in a daze.
"Governor Vick, your 'negligence' almost killed me... I really want to know now, what does your relationship with Marquis Carson of the Empire?"
Lin Feng also sat down slowly, looked at Governor Vic, and narrowed his eyes again: "If you hadn't done some tricks in secret, how could you hide it from the Lord of Fis in Delan City? I think... As the Governor of the Empire, you should know better than anyone else what the consequences of treason are, right?"
Governor Vick's face had already dripped a few drops of cold sweat, and a sentence was squeezed out from his teeth: "Those who betray the Empire... were tied to the stolen cradle and burned to death within the nine tribes, and they would be slaves forever outside the nine tribes."
Finally, Lin Feng felt relieved when he heard Governor Vic surrender.
In fact, although he understood what he said, there was no evidence because of the hasty time. Of course, Buffy still had many ways to prove it by leading the Parker family's private army into Talvo.
If it were normal times, the wise Governor Vic would not have admitted everything so simply. Even if Lin Feng brought out the crime of treason, he could still refute it.
However, Governor Vic is now equivalent to losing his official position. He is not confident in standing in front of Lin Feng, the master of Talvo. Coupled with his strong sense of guilt and the first two sentences Lin Feng gave him, he has always been in the shadow of his psychology.
In the end, when Lin Feng brought out the Delanshan Mountains, Governor Vic knew that no matter how much he refuted, it would be useless, and for a moment, he was completely discouraged.
"Governor Vick." Lin Feng saw that his purpose had been achieved, his tone was relieved a little, and he stretched out three fingers and said, "This third sentence is called 'There is no airtight wall in the world', which means there is no eternal secret! Since you dare to do it, you must prepare for it in advance to pay the price."
Speaking of this, Lin Feng frowned: "Actually, with your mind, you shouldn't be able to do such a thing. If you didn't do this, I think you wouldn't be confused by me in just a few words today."
"Hehe." Governor Vic raised his head and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Mr. Duke has been lifted up. I am not a god, so naturally I am dizzy. After hearing that you have solved the thieves in the Delanshan Mountains, I am mentally prepared. Since this matter cannot be hidden from you, I can only admit it. No matter how much refutation it is meaningless."
"You are too anxious." Lin Feng stared at Governor Vick and shrugged: "Look, if your crime is serious, it is naturally a crime of treason, but to put it lightly, it is a crime of collusion with the nobles to murder the Duke of the Empire."
Governor Vick was so smart that when he heard this, he immediately understood Lin Feng's meaning and said in a low voice: "...Duke, what are your conditions?"
"Governor Vick is a smart person, I believe you must understand what I mean." Lin Feng twisted his neck slightly: "Besides, the Talvo Province has been caring for you for so many years, and I don't want to have a lot of trouble with you. Moreover, as far as I know, Governor Vick has never had any stains during his tenure. I think you also hope that your political career will come to an end successfully."
"...I have no relationship with Marquis of the Empire, but the Talvo Province is adjacent to the territory of the Parker family, so I have had a lot of business dealings with the Parker family and are somewhat familiar with some people in the Parker family."
Seeing that things were like this, Governor Vick had completely calmed down and said in a faint tone: "The person who usually negotiated with me is the old housekeeper of the Parker family, but just a while ago, Buffy, the head of the Marquis of the Imperial Capital, found me and said that I would give him some convenience."
"It seems that you also got a copy of the Parker family's black money!" Lin Feng suddenly interrupted.
Governor Vick was stunned for a moment, then thought about it, but there was no point in hiding it. Then he nodded and continued: "Yes, Buffy did give me one million gold coins. If it were to be put in normal times, I would not accept such things as self-destructing my future. However, since the coup..."
Speaking of this, Governor Vic paused for a moment, and knew that the matter was not meaningful to continue, so he said directly: "So, I no longer have to worry about my future. I can completely think of my future. So I readily took Buffy's million gold coins, but... I didn't expect that he would bring people in to kill the Duke of the Empire."
After saying this, Governor Vick showed an angry and regretful look on his face: "He only told me that he wanted to 'make' some money by borrowing the thieves near the Delanshan Mountains!! It was not until the news came yesterday that I realized how serious the mistake I made... Duke, I really didn't know that the Parker family had a grudge against you. If I had known it, I would never have done such a thing! But now I know, even if I explain it, it would be too late..."
In the last sentence, Governor Vick returned to his low mood.
Lin Feng listened to this and was sure that he had not lie. Although he had always had a grudge against Marquis Carson, he had only been the Duke of Snow Demon Wolf for two months. Moreover, the hatred between him and the Parker family was established by killing the Lord of Gate, the THAAD port before the imperial capital left.
In the eyes of outsiders, this is probably not a hatred. Even he himself would not have thought that Marquis Carson would send Buffy to "revenge" because of this, let alone Governor Vic, who was far away in the south of the mainland.
So, Lin Feng was sure that Governor Vic did not lie, so he thought for a moment, leaned over Governor Vic's ear, and whispered: "Governor Vic, I will give you three days. I hope you can return all the money you have obtained from Talvo's province in these three days. I don't want a grain of rice or even a grass belonging to Talvo to leave my territory, do you understand?"
Governor Vick nodded slightly.
"If this happens, I will assume that everything you have done has never happened." As he said that, Lin Feng smiled again: "And I will not pursue the million gold coins you personally earned. It is your private property. As for how you get it, I don't know."
At this moment, a sense of excitement appeared on Governor Vick's face.
"In this way, your second half of your life will be fine." Lin Feng stood up and smiled, "Look, I have always been kind to me."
After saying this, he came back to his senses and said to the two people who were still stunned: "David, Legrass, let's go."
...
As soon as he walked out of the hall, David immediately leaned into Lin Feng's ear and whispered: "Sir, your power in your hands is still unstable now. Is it a bit terrible to have a Governor Vic at this time?
"Are you overestimating yourself?" Lin Feng said with a smile.
David was startled and quickly explained, "No, no, I didn't mean that."
"Haha, I know what you are worried about." Lin Feng waved his hand a little smile, then sighed: "It's nothing to have a quarrel with him. Anyway, I won't be a neighbor with him in the future, and he won't know what place he will be transferred to in the future. But, you see, I didn't force him into a hurry, and did not ask for his million gold coins, which can be regarded as leaving him a way out."
After saying this, Lin Feng seemed to remember something, suddenly frowned, turned to Philip with a confused face and said, "My commander, I think Chief Crowel should have arrived at Duke Wandailan's territory now?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be here." Philip's confusion became even more intense, and he didn't understand why Lin Feng suddenly asked this.
Lin Feng lit up, narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance, sighing with emotion: "When Crower brought back the two thousand people whom Duke Wandao gave me... it's time for me to spend money..."
