Only by becoming one of his own people would the magistrate of Yuzhou feel at ease to employ him.
And with Chu Heng's talents, managing the water disaster wasn't a problem, but what magistrate Lin wanted was for the water disaster management to be only halfway successful. Of course, the political achievements of managing the water disaster were primarily to be credited to Chu Heng's name, but magistrate Lin could also use this as a stepping stone for his own smooth promotion.
Chu Heng was his son-in-law and an official of the capital. With the achievements from this incident, he would be able to rise step by step. But such a person must be held tightly in his own grasp; otherwise, sooner or later, he would overshadow magistrate Lin.
Therefore, magistrate Lin wanted his daughter to become Chu Heng's legal wife!
Then, Ye Muyu had to die.
Not only that, but it was also necessary to grasp Chu Heng's weakness, so he could always be tightly linked with this rising star.
