What else? It's not about getting you to embezzle public funds.
It is important to know that in Lin Ao's troops, 40% or more of the foreign profits had to be transferred.
The pastor returned three days later, saying he had lost a lot of money and that what he wanted to do was give up 40% or more of his gains and hand it over.
This is the result of greed, but there's nothing wrong with it.
There is no reason to hand over 40% or more of the profits; it would be quite unfair for those who work hard outside to receive such rewards.
Lin Ao was certainly aware of the extent of his power, but was this rule really unfair?
It should be understood that today's forest world can be said to be a union of men and women, so groups with small overall strength find it difficult to accomplish many things, but are often attacked by more powerful forces, thus facing being swallowed up or even destroyed, or ending up tired of running away.
Lin Ao's power was one of the greatest among the many forces of the Lin clan. Without one of its greatest figures, the priest and his followers, even if they plundered a great deal of treasure, they could not enjoy their lives.
Such arrests would only turn them into easy targets, attracting the covetousness and encirclement of other forces.
Therefore, from Lin Ao's perspective, an increase of 40% or more is actually a disguised form of protection money.
In addition, Lin Ao also has many people under his command, and other ministers and elders also need a piece of the pie to work for Lin Ao.
So where did this artwork come from? You can't ask Lin Ao to lead soldiers out to rob, can you? Any other feelings?
That's not what Lin Ao is concerned about right now. He's concerned about the materials.
Lin Ao stared coldly at the pastor and asked coldly, "Now that everything is over, why don't you hand it over?"
If the wording isn't direct, it's easy to cause misunderstandings. Clearly, the minister misunderstood Lin Ao's words.
The minister never considered the materials Lin Ao had sent people to search for. He was thinking about his previous achievements.
To put it bluntly, Lin Ao...
Chapter 744 Stop
Is it just jealousy of these achievements? And then a desire to stop the current threat?
Yes! He couldn't hide that surrendering was his fault, but forcing him to surrender in such a threatening way was tiresome.
The minister was unwilling to give up the profits, but now he has to hand over 40% of them.
Only 40%! He chose the lowest possible level of surrender.
Lin Ao stared coldly at the pastor, who had taken all 40% of the proceeds he had handed over. He had seen everything from beginning to end without missing a single detail.
However, when he saw the final harvest, Lin Ao did not see any of the materials he needed.
"Aren't you going to hand it over now?" Lin Ao wanted to kill him; he believed the minister was deliberately misleading him, feigning ignorance.
Lin Ao's murderous intent was not revealed by uttering it aloud. He waved his hand, ordering the minister's captured personal guards to throw his hands back.
After all, Lin Ao was still the leader of their troops; he was not a king capable of survival and slaughter. If a priest were killed and collapsed in his place, it would certainly arouse vigilance and fear among the other ministers and elders, and might even breed rebellious thoughts.
But Lin Ao didn't want to let go of the pastor. He still had to delete it, but before he could, he still needed to get one to three copies of these materials from the minister.
These precious things, which I don't want to trade with, must be so precious that they possess a terrifying existence.
Even Lin Ao himself wouldn't carry these things on his person; instead, he would find an absolutely safe hiding place.
Lin Ao wanted to wait until the pastor had secretly found the location of the hidden treasure with the personal guards he had sent before he could wipe it away.
When the pastor was returned, he was back in his place of freedom, and then he didn't look for anywhere to hide his treasure. He sat in the room, lost in silent contemplation.
I don't know what I'm thinking, or what I'm hesitating about.
Then, a decision appeared in the pastor's eyes, as if he had made a decision, and then the pastor died, died cleanly, died without a lie.
Hidden in the darkness, foolishly observing the moment of support for the soldiers, and this...? What is this?
He appeared in a hurry, glancing hastily inside and outside the pastor's quarters.
"Dead! The soul has transcended the form of complete death!"
The soldiers suddenly seemed to grow larger, and he dared not delay any longer. He hurriedly returned to Lin Ao and told him about the pastor's death and his dying decision.
Lin Ao's expression was grim. He was unaware that the minister's death was caused by Ye Tiancheng's secret art of using an ancient incantation refined by the Lin clan. He believed the minister's death was the inevitable result of his choice to conceal certain secrets.
But are only two or three types of materials sufficient to choose such an ending?
Lin Ao believed there must be another reason, but he (Wang Hao) couldn't find many clues as to what it was.
What is the connection between Shangguan Yuexin and this person? No, that's not the case!
Is it related to Ye Tiancheng? Then it's unlikely.
Lin Ao frowned, deep in thought, his anger blazing.
Many things troubled him, because after the pastor chose to die, one pastor or elder after another chose the same path.
Of course, in Ye Tiancheng's ancient incantation, this method of death was still misunderstood by Lin Ao.
Chapter 745 Shaking His Position
solution.
What Lin Ao wanted to miss was that some secrets might shake his position.
"What should I do?" Lin Ao was also ruthless. He gritted his teeth and sent his personal guards to invite all the remaining priests and elders to him.
It's supposedly a "please," but there's a powerful force at play: "If you don't go, you have to go." Please go to Lin'ao.
Why did he do that?
"To appease the people after the demonstrations."
What is an example? It is killing those priests and elders.
Of course, appeasing the people meant appeasing the ministers and elders who had not yet been killed.
In short, in the eyes of the ministers and elders who had not yet died from the mystery of the ancient curse, these deaths, which were unrelated to Lin Ao, were acts of centralized power.
603
Think about it. Although they are ministers and elders, they wield considerable power within these forces.
Of course, these powers belong to Bo Lin'ao. As the king of the unified Lin clan world, how could Lin'ao accept the weakening of his power?
"It seems he's finally going to do it."
What do you want to do? Do you want to get rid of them and concentrate your strength?
No! This is a formal declaration of war against the unification of the Forest World, which is also a formal declaration of war against the other forces in the Forest World.
This is what ambitious people hope for, but it's also what those who fear death least want to wait for.
Lin Ao didn't care whether they expected this, nor did he care about what they least wanted to do. When they were all there, Lin said, "What are you hiding? Speak up, and let bygones be bygones."
This is perplexing; some ministers and elders, who consider themselves wise, cannot understand it.
Or, they pretend not to understand, are too upset to comprehend, and in short, their faces are blank.
Lin Ao was angry when he saw this sentence, so he roared, "Do you want your father to kill nine families?"
Nine butchers – this is not one of the most severe punishments in the world.
Within the realm of truth, this is not an easy punishment, because such massacres are often accompanied by thousands of years of torment of the souls of the massacred people.
When Lin Ao is such a threat, it is clearly a genuine outrage.
At that time, three ministers and two elders were very resolute. He died.
Did you choose to die to save your nine people? Lin Ao thought to himself, but a green vein appeared on his forehead.
"Do you really think you can keep your nine pieces?" Lin Aoju shouted, "Is anyone there?!" She then proceeded to kill nine of the five men!
The atmosphere was as still as a cold cicada; the remaining ministers and elders dared not even breathe.
They were terrified; some were swiftly killed by their five colleagues, some were intimidated by Lin Ao's orders, and even more so by a shocking conspiracy hidden among them.
It turns out that the colleagues who died a few days earlier did not die without reason, nor was it necessarily Lin Ao's doing. Their relationship was fraught with misfortune under a conspiracy.
When they seize power, or even retaliate against their enemies, earth-shattering conspiracies may unfold in the world. In the real world, given the longer lifespans of monks, even more terrifying scenarios exist. (Natural fiction.)
This conspiracy is...
Chapter 746 Cannot Be Lowered
How can one lower oneself so that a better minister and a powerful elder would choose to refuse?
The remaining ministers and elders naturally realized this, and a cold sweat broke out on their backs as they thought about it.
They had good personal relationships with the ministers and elders who chose to reject them, but now it seems that these good relationships may have been deliberately created by the other party, and of course, to carry out a conspiracy.
In other words, if no one had chosen to reject him because of Lin Ao's "infiltration," perhaps one day they would have died in a conspiracy.
Aside from breaking out in a cold sweat, they were also secretly amazed by Lin Ao's abilities.
To be honest, in their past understanding, Lin Ao was not a qualified leader.
Being too proud and self-important is one thing, but being too impatient when doing things and often lacking long-term considerations is another.
But now look at it, wow! So, when they knew nothing, Lin Ao could actually see through it!
Lin Ao has really been hiding!
Almost everyone thought so, so they believed that Lin Ao was clumsy in the past.
Was Lin Ao clumsy in hiding his true nature? In fact, for example, he never displayed his refined manners in front of these pastors and elders.
But the ministers and elders believed that the hidden clumsiness was the hidden clumsiness of a conspiracy, the hidden clumsiness of the heart, and the hidden clumsiness of the city government.
Lin Ao couldn't do that. Just like now, after the butcher gave the order to the nine ethnic groups, he changed his mind about killing the priests and elders present.
It's abnormal that so many people died, but they all died in ways they denied themselves.
Lin Ao had considered the possibility that they were murdered, but the majority of the dead were those involved in some kind of conspiracy.
