Lin Feng, the first Son of Destiny Qin Xian had encountered.
He had died in Qin Xian’s hands.
Moreover, it was such a humiliating and demeaning death…
However, right now, Qin Xian’s attention wasn’t on the Villain System.
Because his true target was not just a Chen Ling Xi…
........
“Governor, I want you to explain why your daughter would vouch for a Void Cultist?”
Provincial Governor Yu Feng took a deep breath and coldly questioned Chen Bei Guo.
Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions tightened.
The Provincial Governor was challenging the Governor!
Upon hearing this, a trace of anger appeared on Chen Bei Guo’s face, as he coldly looked at Yu Feng.
When Yu Feng was looked at by Chen Bei Guo, a hint of uneasiness flashed across his face.
After all, Chen Bei Guo had held the reins of power in Donghai Province for twenty years, and his prestige was very high.
This Provincial Governor, the nominal second-in-command, had actually always been firmly suppressed by Chen Bei Guo.
If not for the Qin family behind him, he would have long been sidelined by Chen Bei Guo, becoming a mere figurehead.
It was false to say that Yu Feng did not fear Chen Bei Guo.
But when he felt Qin Xian’s gaze from behind, Yu Feng felt as if he was filled with strength!
Yu Feng was very clear about his own position.
In the eyes of others, he was the highly-ranked Provincial Governor, the second most powerful person in all of Donghai Province, with immense power.
But in reality, he was just a dog raised by the Qin family!
The Qin family had raised him to the position of Provincial Governor, allowing the Yu family to become one of the top families in Donghai.
When the Qin family wanted him to bite, he had to bite!
Otherwise, he and the Yu family would suffer an irreversible fate!
Yu Feng had long been aware of this.
Moreover, Yu Feng realized that this might be his chance to rise!
To remove Chen Bei Guo from his position, then the next Governor of Donghai Province would almost certainly be him.
From the number two position to the number one, it seemed like just a step away, but in reality it was a world of difference.
Many people were trapped in this position for their entire lives!
Yu Feng, with a blank expression, coldly said, “Governor, as the Provincial Governor, I have the responsibility, the duty, and the right to supervise the Governor’s ability to govern.
In the past few days, sacrifice rituals have erupted in Donghai Province, and today such an incident occurred!
The Heavenly Revelation Sanctuary was destroyed, and thousands of examinees died in vain!
I believe that Governor, you are undeniably responsible for this!
Especially when your daughter actually shielded a Void Cultist!”
Everyone’s expressions subtly changed, and Yu Feng silently changed “vouch” to “shield.”
Although it was just a change of words, the meaning was entirely different!
Truly worthy of being an old fox!
Several of Chen Bei Guo’s close aides looked at each other but did not speak.
The current situation was clear to everyone.
The incidents that had happened these past few days, Chen Bei Guo was definitely implicated!
He, the Governor, probably wouldn’t be able to hold onto his position for much longer.
Who would still want to follow Chen Bei Guo? They might even get dragged down themselves!
This was reality.
Yesterday, Chen Bei Guo was still the Governor, and countless people were willing to pledge loyalty and follow him.
But today, Chen Bei Guo’s downfall was imminent, and everyone was avoiding him like the plague…
Chen Bei Guo took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “There are many suspicious aspects to this matter, and I will investigate them all thoroughly.”
Yu Feng said lightly, “I have already, on behalf of the Provincial Assembly, submitted an impeachment case against you to the Imperial Cardinalate and the Imperial Assembly!
According to Imperial Law, you are suspended from all authority and should stay at home to await the investigation team from above.”
The Provincial Governor, the reason he is the number two in the province.
Not only because he controls the Provincial Assembly, but also because the Provincial Governor can impeach the Governor, suspending him from all authority!
Of course, choosing to impeach.
It meant that the Provincial Governor had completely broken ties with the Governor…
Upon hearing this, a fiery spark appeared in Chen Bei Guo’s eyes, and he was enraged!
He suddenly turned to look at Qin Xian!
Although Lin Feng was indeed a Void Cultist, Chen Bei Guo firmly believed that this was also related to Qin Xian!
All these things that had happened in the past few years had happened in just a few days.
No matter how great the Qin family’s influence was, there would always be some traces left behind!
As the Governor, he could definitely find out some clues!
But after the Provincial Governor impeached him, he would lose all authority.
By the time the investigation team from above arrived, Qin Xian would have already cleared all the flaws and clues!
What a Qin Xian, every step of the way, leaving him without any chance of retaliation!
Chen Bei Guo, his angry body trembled, but he couldn’t utter a word, he could only coldly glance at Yu Feng and turn to leave.
He couldn’t do anything, unless he chose to rebel against the Empire!
Watching Chen Bei Guo leave, a smile flashed in Qin Xian’s eyes.
In this way, Donghai Province would be the Qin family’s…
And this would also make the Regent and other forces think that the commotion he, the Qin family’s eldest son, had made in Donghai Province was to bring down Chen Bei Guo!
Qin Xian glanced at Yu Feng, and Yu Feng’s face was full of flattering smiles, full of eagerness to take credit.
“Congratulations, Governor Yu.”
These words filled Yu Feng with immense joy!
Even if Chen Bei Guo was removed from his position, the Governor of Donghai might not necessarily be his.
Perhaps someone else would be chosen, or someone would be parachuted in from above to become the Governor.
But now, Qin Xian’s words completely put Yu Feng at ease.
This meant that the Qin family would choose Yu Feng to be the next Governor of Donghai!
“Thank you, Young Master!
From now on, the Yu family will always follow Young Master and the Qin family!”
Yu Feng, regardless of his dignity or the fact that others were present, was so overjoyed he could hardly contain himself…
