Chapter 69 Harsh government is fiercer than tigers
Lin Yi couldn't find Jiang Linglong last night, so he left a letter in her coffin, saying he would go find her tonight.
I just happened to know that she was injured now, so I wanted to go over there tonight to have a look.
If you are on the third watch, you can still free up your time if you squeeze it, as long as you manage your time well.
Ji Yi returned to his room in the inn while thinking about not wasting time on both sides.
He Dong and Xiao Cao were drawing with maps. When they saw Lin Yi coming back, He Dong said: "You came back just in time. Xiao Cao and I have discussed it. The next place is Lingling. That place is very mountainous and full of things."
It’s a place full of spiritual energy, it’s also quite remote, and there aren’t many powerful people, so it’s just right for us to live in seclusion.”
"..."
Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a little guilty when he saw that He Dong was happily preparing to move.
He was the one who said he wanted to leave, and he was the one who wanted to stay.
"Um... I have something I want to discuss with you."
"Um?"
As soon as He Dong saw Lin Yi's tone, he knew something was wrong, but he still said generously: "Say so."
"I just went to see Brother Guan. He was injured and bedridden. It looks like he will have to recuperate for a few months at least. He is not very kind to me, but at least he takes care of me a lot.
Now is his difficult time, and I don't want to abandon him."
"So you want to stay and help him?"
He Dong stared at Lin Yi fiercely, and Lin Yi quickly said: "I haven't given you the approval yet, so why don't I come back to ask for your opinion?
The two of us also have enemies, but you have made a breakthrough recently. If we have the ability, we can stay and help. Of course, if we can't deal with it, we should run away as soon as possible. I will not put our family's lives at risk for the sake of loyalty.
"
After listening to Lin Yi's words, He Dong felt angry and relieved at the same time.
What made her feel comfortable was that Lin Yi said "our family". These simple words made her feel as if she had taken a few breaths of yang energy and felt energetic all over. Although she also arrogantly denied the relationship with Lin Yi in her heart.
Yi's family relationship, but he still couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
As for being angry...
Of course she was angry with Lin Yi and slapped her in the face!
All of them really didn't give her any face.
She just said that the world is huge and she can go anywhere. Can she now say that she is incapable of dealing with the Hundred Ghost Sect?
Then does she still want to lose face? By then, Ji Yi will think that she can only brag.
However, if she boasts about Haikou and people from Baiguimen come looking for her, it will be another big trouble.
"You are blocking my words. If I don't agree, won't I be committing injustice on you?"
He Dong complained angrily, glared at Ji Yi fiercely, and continued: "Although the Baigui Sect has many methods, I am not afraid. As long as the sect master does not take action, we will not be in danger. Come to think of it,
, since the sect master let us go in the first place, he probably won’t make things difficult for us anymore, so just go and help with peace of mind!”
She finally saw that if she said she must leave, Ji Yi would definitely listen to him, but he would always feel guilty in his heart.
This can only be said to be a trivial matter now, but if I want to break through in the future, I am afraid it will become a knot in my heart.
Practitioners mostly act without scruples for the sake of peace of mind. If everything is hampered, it is inevitable that the Taoist mind will be depressed and inner demons will arise.
She also took this into consideration before deciding to stay.
As for the trouble at Baiguimen, it's up to her to solve it.
When Lin Yi heard this, he was immediately relieved.
Tonight he will go find Jiang Linglong again and add another layer of insurance. As long as he has enough strength, he will not be afraid of getting into any big trouble.
"Thank you."
Lin Yi thanked him sincerely.
He was still wary of He Dongduo before, but now that they have one person and one ghost, they are actually at peace with each other.
He was kind to He Dong in extinguishing the fire, and He Dong was also kind to him, so the two of them naturally became a little closer.
Thanking him so seriously, He Dong felt a little uncomfortable. She quickly threw out a bag of money and said: "Since you want to stay, you have to find another place to live. You use the money to find out the news and buy some food.
I'm afraid Xiaocao is going to be hungry."
"good."
Ji Yi took the money and went out. Suddenly, he felt that they looked like a couple.
After he went out, he first went to find Yaren. He originally thought of leaving a message first and letting someone come to inform him when there was news. Unexpectedly, as soon as Yaren heard that he wanted to buy a yard, he immediately warmly entertained him.
Originally, the business of buying and selling houses was quite deserted, probably because there was not much population movement, so few people were selling and few were buying.
Of course, wealthy families buy and sell houses, but that has nothing to do with buyers of Ji Yi's level.
Buying a house is not easy.
However, thanks to the rumors spread by Ji Yi himself, it was said that the Jingtian Sect was planning to massacre Changsha City. Although the county magistrate announced that it was a rumor and sent people to patrol everywhere, the rumors should have been put to rest. Unfortunately, yesterday
There was turmoil in the city in the evening. Although only a few houses were destroyed and only one was killed and one injured, many residents in the west of the city were scared away.
People were panicked for a while, and even if the county governor tried to comfort him, the people felt uneasy.
Of course, those who have the ability to escape Changsha County at this time are from well-off families and have powerful relatives in other places, so they want to sell their houses and go there. Most people are unable to leave and do not dare to leave.
When Lin Yi asked Yaren why there was such a reason, he felt ashamed.
He wanted to use the opportunity to muddy the waters, so he laid suspicion and secretly found the Jingtian sect members. He thought that if he tried to refute the rumors, he would not cause too much harm to the people. He never thought that there would be a big battle last night, but it was
It makes people believe the rumors even more.
They don't really trust the government, but if rumors can spread so much, someone must be adding fuel to the flames.
After Lin Yi heard this, how could he still think about buying a house?
This wave was originally intended to fish in troubled waters, but unexpectedly it ended up luring a snake out of its hole.
But no matter what the strategy is, it is a good strategy if it succeeds.
Instructing Ya Ren to help look out for suitable houses, Ji Yi went directly to the county governor's house. He originally wanted to go to Jingyesi to send people to find out who was secretly fanning the flames, but after thinking about it carefully, the current Jingyesi didn't know.
How many people whose identities are unknown make arrangements on their own, and others on the other hand probably know their plans.
In this case, it is better to bring in foreign aid.
In Changsha County, the most powerful person is naturally the Changsha County Sheriff.
Yesterday, Lin Yi planned to cooperate with him, but unexpectedly, Wang An made the arrangements himself without any negotiation.
To deepen cooperation today, we still have to negotiate face to face.
When Wang An heard the report that Lin Yi was visiting, he couldn't help but chuckle, and asked Wang Qian to come over. On the one hand, he wanted to train him, but on the other hand, he also wanted to show off.
Did you see that your father said he would come to visit in three days, and he came the next day!
When Lin Yi arrived at the study, Wang Qian happened to arrive as well. Wang An asked the two of them to take their seats, and then said kindly to Lin Yi: "Why is Vice President Lin here?"
"I came here to bring peace to the people, and also to save you from disaster."
"oh?"
Seeing that Lin Yi was mainly a guest, Wang An's expression remained unchanged and he said calmly: "That sounds interesting. Mr. Lin is also good at divination?"
Guan Buping was not here today, so he changed the subtitle.
"It's not a divination, but since the notice was issued at dusk yesterday and patrols were stepped up, the rumors have not stopped, but have intensified. People are fearful, and some are even willing to sell their homes and flee Changsha. If the rumors are not stopped, something may happen."
Lin Yi's words were very scary, but Wang An was not easily fooled.
He chuckled and said: "The rumors are terrible, but there are only a few people who are able to escape Changsha County. Most people are either unable to escape or don't want to escape.
Like those squires, their property and fields are all in Changsha County, and they have gone to other places. How can they be willing to live a hard life?
Then there are the ordinary people who have no ability to run away. They have food to eat and a place to live in Changsha. If they want to leave, not to mention the dangerous journey, they will have no foundation if they go elsewhere and become refugees, which is worse than death.
miserable.
Therefore, let alone rumors, even if it is confirmed that the Jingtian Sect is performing a blood sacrifice in Changsha, they will not leave.
It's just human nature to act flustered now. In a short time, they will settle down and won't cause much trouble!"
Lin Yi was immediately speechless, stunned for a moment, and then said: "I have heard that 'tyranny is fiercer than a tiger', but I never thought that I would see it with my own eyes and learn from it now."
Wang Qian's expression changed slightly. It was not a good thing to say that tyranny is fiercer than a tiger. His father was an official and had a reputation as a virtuous man. How could he suffer such a great humiliation?
Just as he was about to open his mouth to argue, Wang An calmly said: "That's right. It's a pity that the people of Changsha have been in peace for a long time. They all know that if they go elsewhere, they may not have a peaceful life. They would rather stay in Changsha and wait for that day."
A glimmer of hope. Every time I think about this, I feel extremely sad. Mr. Lin is responsible for Jingye and can foresee the motives of thieves. Can you give me some good advice?"
Lin Yi: “…”
I really met my opponent this time! This county guard is very good!
