Divine Treasure Chest System

Chapter 254 People around you
"It's ridiculous! What you said about killing relatives has become a derogatory term? And it's true that his father stole cattle. How can it be called sacrificing innocent people?"

Lin Chen scoffed at Lu Yuzong's statement. This is complete nonsense. If the idiom "righteousness kills relatives" is changed to another world, many people will definitely think of that stern and selfless black-faced Duke Bao.

Could it be that Bao Gong has become a villain?

"Lord Lin Wang, don't worry, just listen to me continue." Lu Yuzong did not show any displeasure at Lin Chen's words, and he continued: "After he became an adult, Wang Xuzhi's kindness was widely known in Yue Dynasty. Rumor has it, ordinary people, to make Wang Xuzhi a saint, and you also know that a saint who is loved by all people has appeared under my territory in Yuechao, what do you think I will do?"

When Lu Yuzong said this, the smile on his face became a little colder: "This kind of person must serve the Yue Dynasty, respect me, and do things under my nose, otherwise I will have trouble sleeping and eating.

You also mentioned just now that Wang Xuzhi had no intention of strategizing, so Wang Xuzhi refused to serve the court, but do you know the price he paid for doing so? "

Lin Chen answered Lu Yuzong's question indifferently: "Did you kill him?"

"No, I just charged him with a crime and slaughtered Wang Xuzhi's family one by one. Wang Xuzhi was also imprisoned by me from that day on."

Lu Yuzong's words made Lin Chen frown. According to the history he knew, Wang Xu spent his whole life teaching and educating people, writing books and preaching, and the cause of death was illness. Why was he imprisoned?
"You don't know Lin Wang. On the day I sent people to arrest Wang Xuzhi, the people complained a lot. Many people rebelled and wanted to vindicate Wang Xuzhi. I, Lu Yuzong, have lived for so long and have seen too many dynasties. The demise of the dynasty is related to not being loved by the people, if I insist on going my own way, I am afraid that the Yue Dynasty will not survive for long."

"So you let him go?"

Lin Chen asked in shock. As the emperor of a dynasty, it is rare to be able to judge the situation like this when he has supreme power. This Lu Yuzong is really a complex of contradictions. It can be seen that Lu Yuzong is a narrow-minded person, but in front of the people, he knows how to observe the current situation and appears to be broad-minded. This Lu Yuzong is really unpredictable.

"That's right, not only did I let Wang Xuzhi go, but I also beheaded some important officials in the court. As for their crimes, the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

"What do you mean, you have pushed all of Wang Xuzhi's unfounded charges to the important officials of your court?"

Lin Chen asked in disbelief.

"Well, in this way, Wang Xuzhi was released by me in less than three days, and the important minister whose head was beheaded by me was applauded throughout the Yue Dynasty, and the title Mingjun was widely spread from that day on. "

When Lu Yuzong said this, his expression couldn't help but became smug.

"Oh, I understand. I'm afraid that Wang Xuzhi's influence is too great. Is it true? Is it true to eradicate dissidents? Those so-called important ministers are probably people in the court who don't agree with you, right?"

Hearing this, Lin Chen finally understood what Lu Yuzong's real purpose was. The man in front of him was indeed a terrifying existence. More than anything.

"Basically, I was also born as a farmer. To get to this point, I have to be extremely careful with every step. After Wang Xuzhi left, I have been sending someone to watch him secretly. I originally planned to create an accident and kill him. But too many things happened afterwards, and Wang Xuzhi did not show any intention of rebellion, so he was able to live for a long time."

Lu Yuzong looked at Lin Chen. At this moment, Lin Chen didn't speak, as if he was deep in thought: "Master Lin, Wang Xuzhi sacrificed himself in order to pursue goodness. He himself is the most innocent person. In order to achieve the ultimate good , He did not hesitate to fight against me, and sacrificed his family for this, everyone pursues different ways, but in the final analysis, they all have sacrifices, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve."

"Are you right? I believe Lord Lin sacrificed a lot of things before he became a god."

After Lu Yuzong finished speaking, Lin Chen became even more silent, because what Lu Yuzong said was indeed true, Wang Xuzhi was one of them, why was he not?
In order to become a god, Lin Chen slaughtered countless innocent soul bodies at the soul body stage. Lin Chen didn't know who they were or what they did before they were alive, but in order to cultivate to become a god, Lin Chen also spared no expense.

As for Wang Xuzhi, he seems to be a perfect person, but for his family, Wang Xuzhi is too cold-blooded, he only cares about the good, and completely disregards the life and death of his family members, so the sacrifice does not necessarily have to be a living person, It's more of a human nature.

"Just like the people around you, in order to achieve their own goals, they will do some things they have to do."

Suddenly, Lu Yuzong said such a sentence coldly, even Lin Chen broke out in a cold sweat when Lu Yuzong said it.

"What do you mean?"

Lin Chen frowned tightly, and a faint murderous intent began to emerge in the air. What he hated most in his life was someone who slandered and hurt those around him.

"Lord Lin Wang, don't you understand yet? Someone around you is using you to maintain a certain 'thing' of yourself."

Lu Yuzong's mysterious words made Lin Chen confused.

"Who are you talking about!?"

In these short seconds, many people appeared in Lin Chen's mind, but those were all people whom Lin Chen trusted completely, and Lin Chen didn't have the slightest doubt about them.

"Well, if you must know, Mr. Lin Wang, I'll just say it straight."

When Lu Yuzong said this, he paused intentionally or unintentionally, and then he said slowly: "The girl you brought here today is one of them!"

"What are you talking about!? If you dare to speak nonsense again, I will let you die right now!"

Lin Chen was completely enraged, and the murderous intent in his body overwhelmed Lu Yuzong's breath. Lu Yuzong's words were obvious. There was only one woman Lin Chen brought here today, and that was Chen Ting!
"Actually, Lin Wang, as long as you think about it carefully, you will know why I said that." Facing Lin Chen's aura, Lu Yuzong took a deep breath and continued: "You also know the origin of Xitong Town, You must also know that Chen Ting is also a member of the system, so I said."

"You mean, Chen Ting approached me because of system tasks?"

Lin Chen asked. Hearing Lu Yuzong's words, Lin Chen suddenly understood. Chen Ting is a well-known Internet celebrity in the mortal world, "meow on high heels", and her number of fans can be compared to the first line. star.
