Lin Feng wasn't happy about being an official, he just wanted to get revenge. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become an official in the secular world.
"Since Lin Feng is the Minister of Justice, Lu Zhan doesn't need to exist anymore. Kill him!" Said the Great Ancestor to Lu Zhan. He looked furious and filled with killing intent. A cultivator who was useless was no different from a dead person. He wanted to cripple Lu Zhan's cultivation.
Lu Zhan was kneeling on the ground. He was sweating profusely. He couldn't stop wiping his sweat. At that moment, he hoped that someone would save him. He didn't want Dongfang Yuqing anymore. If it weren't for Dongfang Yuqing, he wouldn't have become so weak. Therefore, he hated Dongfang Yuqing.
"Great Ancestor, I have a request." When Lin Feng saw that, he couldn't help but laugh. That was a rare opportunity. Therefore, he interrupted the Great Ancestor.
The Great Ancestor wasn't angry. He liked Lin Feng a lot. Besides, Nian Ling Jiao had brought him here. His daughter had never had a husband before. If she could marry Lin Feng, it would be a happy thing.
Even though Lin Feng wasn't a member of the Zhen Wu Dynasty, he was Ni Huang's subordinate. He had unified the Octagon Region and become the leader of the Octagon Region. He was a good match for Nian Ling Jiao.
Besides, Lin Feng was terrifyingly strong and talented. In the future, he would definitely become a tyrant. Therefore, the Great Ancestor was treating Lin Feng like a son-in-law, not a simple Minister of Justice.
But Lin Feng didn't know what the Great Ancestor was thinking. If he did, he would have left the Zhen Wu Dynasty in the middle of the night.
"If it's reasonable, I'll accept it." Said the Great Ancestor nodding and smiling. He was waiting for Lin Feng's request.
Nian Ling Jiao could guess what Lin Feng wanted to do. She couldn't help but smile. As expected, Lin Feng was smart. Dongfang Yuqing's face turned deathly pale. He had been in politics for a long time so he knew what Lin Feng wanted to do.
"Imperial Ancestor, I just became the Minister of Justice, so I don't have any experience. Senior Lu Zhan is an indispensable talent of the True Martial Dynasty, and he's more experienced than me when it comes to criminal law. Could you hand him over to me? I'll appoint him as the Minister of Justice and have him assist me."
Said Lin Feng provoking Dongfang Yuqing. Then, he made his request in a dignified way.
At this moment, Lu Zhan burst into tears. He had never thought that the one who saved him was the one he wanted to kill, and the one he assisted was the one who wanted to kill him. The officialdom was so cruel.
At that moment, the officials sighed. Lin Feng wasn't an ordinary person. He wasn't a novice at all. If Lin Feng became the Minister of Justice, they wouldn't be able to give him the cold shoulder.
The Great Ancestor was also stunned, but soon he smiled. Lin Feng did not disappoint him. Lin Feng got it right. The reason why he said that he wanted to kill Lu Zhan was that he wanted Lin Feng to save him. How could he, the Great Ancestor, kill an Earth-Grade God Ancestor so casually?
Now, Lin Feng had killed two birds with one stone. In the future, there would be no obstacles in the Penal Department. After all, the officers of the Penal Department were all promoted by Lu Zhan. Lu Zhan owed Lin Feng a debt of gratitude. Lu Zhan would certainly not be disloyal and make Lin Feng a mere figurehead.
"Humph, you're just a Minister of the Ministry of Justice. What right do you have to make this request to me?"
The Great Ancestor's expression suddenly changed. His voice was filled with killing intent. He was staring at Lin Feng furiously.
The atmosphere suddenly changed. Nian Ling Jiao was dumbfounded. What was wrong with her father? Why did he suddenly change his attitude?
Lu Zhan's heart was pounding. Did the Great Ancestor not want him to live?
"Great Ancestor, I don't have the right, but I hope that you can spare my life." Lin Feng slightly nodded. He was determined.
At that moment, Lu Zhan was very touched. He was satisfied. Even if he couldn't live, he would be grateful to Lin Feng for the rest of his life.
"Humph, if you say one more word to help him, I'll kill you!"
Rumbling sounds spread in the air. Lin Feng was only half an inch away from dying. The Great Ancestor's punches were sharp and brutal. The officials all knelt down on the ground. Dongfang Yuqing also moved away from Lin Feng and smiled.
Did he want to be a good person? Haha, the Great Ancestor would never agree. Dongfang Yuqing calmed down a lot.
"Minister Lin, I, Lu Zhan, thank you very much, but you don't need to sacrifice your life for me. I was wrong in the past, I was wrong. It has nothing to do with you." Shouted Lu Zhan furiously. He didn't want Lin Feng to continue speaking for him.
Lin Feng turned around and looked at the Great Ancestor again. He shouted furiously, "If you kill me today, you'll lose face. But I want you to agree. If you refuse, I won't be able to be the Minister of Justice anymore!"
"Bastard, you're just a trivial Minister, how dare you talk to His Majesty like that! Do you want to die?" Shouted Dongfang Yuqing furiously. Before Lin Feng even finished talking, he was already glaring at Lin Feng. Dongfang Yuqing didn't have a chance to vent his anger, Lin Feng was giving him a good opportunity.
Lin Feng's words astonished everybody. Nian Ling Jiao's back was covered in cold sweat. What was going on? These two people were getting along so well, why did they suddenly turn hostile?
Lin Feng's words were too harsh. Nobody would listen to him, but the Great Ancestor smiled in a resplendent way. He nodded and said, "Alright, that's the Minister of Justice I've been looking for."
"You have to be upright and plainspoken. You even dare insult me, the Great Ancestor, haha, why wouldn't you dare?"
"You can take Lu Zhan away. You can decide what position he wants. I will also make you a Protector, one of the four high-ranking officials!"
The Great Ancestor was very happy, so he made Lin Feng even more powerful. Not only did he make him a prince, he also made him one of the four high-ranking officials. The Zhen Wu Dynasty only had three high-ranking officials: the Prime Minister, the Imperial Officer and the Imperial Censor. Now, Lin Feng was the fourth high-ranking official, a Protector!
Dongfang Yuqing sensed danger. Even though the Great Ancestor didn't do it on purpose, Dongfang Yuqing felt pressured.
Lin Feng's position in the Zhen Wu Dynasty wasn't lower than his anymore, he just didn't have any connections.
Lu Zhan was overjoyed. God didn't want him to die. In the future, he would have a new master who would be the fourth high-ranking official, a Protector who wouldn't be afraid of the Prime Minister.
Lin Feng was promoted the fastest. He was promoted from Duke to the fourth high-ranking official.
In the afternoon, after the court, Nian Lingjiao stayed with the Great Ancestor in the palace for a few days. The Great Ancestor also gave Lin Feng a new mansion. Lin Feng could live there when he left the palace.
In the hall, the Great Ancestor and Nian Lingjiao had already left. Only the officials were left. Dongfang Yuqing was there, so they didn't dare to congratulate Lin Feng.
Lin Feng helped Lu Zhan stand up. Lu Zhan was so grateful that he almost knelt down.
"Senior, please help me in the future. I'm still a newcomer, haha." Lin Feng patted Lu Zhan's shoulder. Although Lu Zhan was an Earth Ancestor God, he had been corrupted by the secular concept of hierarchy. Lin Feng could use the same method he used to deal with officials to recruit Lu Zhan.
The Zhen Wu Dynasty didn't have any helpers. If Lu Zhan joined their side, they would at least be able to protect themselves. In the future, they would be able to fight against Dongfang Yuqing. Lin Feng had to kill Dongfang Yuqing. Dongfang Yuqing had tortured him, Lin Feng would never forget it.
"You're welcome. In the future, Lu Zhan will repay your kindness even if his bones are crushed." Lu Zhan lowered his head humbly. He was tall and sturdy, but he had a humble heart.
"Hmph, you're a dog. You'll follow whoever treats you well. Lin Feng, be careful. This dog will bite." Dongfang Yuqing walked past Lin Feng with an ugly face. He scolded Lu Zhan coldly and walked out of the hall.
"Prime Minister Dongfang, I don't have such a concept. Those who treat me well are my brothers. It seems that we treat people differently. Haha." Lin Feng refuted Dongfang Yuqing. At the same time, he told Lu Zhan that as long as he didn't betray him, he would be his brother.
Lu Zhan felt warm inside. He was indeed a dog in Dongfang Yuqing's eyes, but Lin Feng treated him as one of his own. The gap between them was obvious.
"Hypocrite, haha." Dongfang Yuqing snorted coldly. He shook his long sleeves and left the hall. He sat in a carriage and left the palace. He didn't want to see Lin Feng again.
