As soon as he returned to the other world, Lin Ye heard Dawu's anxious voice.
Lin Ye opened the door, and Dawu just walked to the entrance of the courtyard. When he saw Lin Ye, he immediately shouted anxiously: "Junior brother, someone is coming to challenge."
"Home challenge?"
"Well, I just posted it and it's still in the Taoist temple."
Dawu held the post in his hand, but Lin Ye did not accept it, but said: "For such a big matter, you should contact the master."
"Master, didn't he go into seclusion? Before he went into seclusion, he told me that all matters concerning the Taoist temple, big or small, would be left to you, my junior brother, to handle."
Lin Ye:......
He suddenly felt that he had been deceived by an experienced person.
In order to confirm his guess, he asked, "Brother Dawu, has our master ever been in seclusion before?"
"No... no, this is the first time that master has retreated in seclusion since I can remember."
The case was solved.
Lin Ye was almost certain that the old Taoist did this on purpose. He definitely expected that someone might challenge him and chose to retreat at this time.
What have you learned...
Now he recalls what the old Taoist said at that time, can he realize it after drinking wine and going crazy?
If this is the case, who would still practice cultivation and drink every day?
I am also a fool to be fooled by this.
"Junior brother, junior brother, your expression has changed..."
Dawu looked a little scared as he watched Lin Ye's expression changing constantly, looking like he was gnashing his teeth.
"Ahem...Senior Brother Dawu, who is here to challenge this time? How many people are there?"
Being tricked, Lin Ye could only accept the reality. He knew very well that even if he went to the bamboo forest now, the old Taoist would not come out. Maybe after they left, the old Taoist would change the formation to enter the bamboo forest. It was still unclear whether he could go in or not.
"Two groups of people came to deliver war invitations, representing the Tzu Chi Temple in Liuyang County and the Taoyuan Temple in Taihe County."
"Can you refuse?" Lin Ye asked.
"They say that our Qingfeng Temple is a Taoist temple with the word "Qing", so it must be profound in Taoism..."
Dawu looked embarrassed, Lin Ye understood, but he just couldn't refuse.
It's just like opening a martial arts gym. If people want to come and compete in the gym, you have to let them come.
etc……
Don't let people come to your door.
Lin Ye's eyes lit up and he said to Dawu: "Go and tell them that our Qingfeng Temple welcomes them to come to exchange and learn. However, the master is not in the Taoist temple today. Let them come back tomorrow. The time is arranged in the morning. In order to express your apology, you can
They arranged to live in a restaurant not far from our Taoist temple."
"For exchange and study, we also need to arrange accommodation for them?"
Dawu was a little reluctant, these people came to look for trouble, why should they be so nice to them.
"Yes, just reply like this. Go ahead and arrange a place for them."
After asking Dawu to reply to the person who sent the invitation, Lin Ye was not idle. He took a few banknotes from the drawer and put them into his sleeves, then left the house and headed to the Yamen.
Shangyang County Yamen.
When Lin Ye arrived this time, Capt. Yang went to the door to greet him in person. His attitude was more enthusiastic than before, but Lin Ye could feel that Capt. Yang was more awe and distant from him.
He could understand Yang Captou's mood. The original self in Yang Captou's heart was that of a rich and worthy young master. Everyone lived like friends. However, An Zisheng's arrival made Yang Captou confront him.
My attitude has changed, and we are no longer communicating as equals.
"Master Lin is here, please come in quickly."
Yang Baotou welcomed Lin Ye into the Yamen and asked in a low voice: "Do you want to report it to the county magistrate?"
"No need, I came specifically to see Mr. Yang this time."
"Master Lin, if you have any use for me, just ask, and I will do my best."
Yang Captou patted his chest to express his attitude. Lin Ye smiled and said: "Actually, it's nothing. I just lost a few colorful glazed orbs at home, so I came here to report the case."
"What, Mr. Lin, did you lose something at home?"
Yang Captou put down the tea in his hand and stood up immediately: "That's alright. What thief dares to be so bold as to come to Mr. Lin's house to steal? I will bring people to investigate right away and steal all the green skins in the city.
If you arrest him and torture him, I will definitely be able to recover the lost treasure for Mr. Lin."
How many green-skinned gangsters there are in the city? Capt. Yang and others know it well. If something is stolen from someone's house, they only need to ask the green-skinned gangster for help.
As long as these green-skinned gangsters want to continue to hang out in the city, they won't dare not make friends with others.
Lin Ye did not doubt what Yang Baotou said, that people have human nature and rats have their own ways.
Many times, agents like Captain Yang and others have no clear relationship with the lower class. This has been the same from ancient times to the present.
It's not that they are colluding, but that there is no end to this thing, so everyone simply understands it tacitly. As long as they don't go too far, the police will turn a blind eye.
Lin Ye once heard a story told by his roommate. An elder in his roommate's family was in the agency and could be considered a leader.
In the 1980s, there was a job transfer. At that time, the job transfer required you to report to the new unit with your files. It would be a big trouble if the files were lost, and his elder had his bag stolen by a pickpocket at the train station.
, even the files were lost.
There was no surveillance and no one saw it. Logically speaking, this thing should be missing.
But his elder called a friend in charge of local security, and within half an hour, the file and wallet were sent back.
The reason is very simple. Each area has a boss in charge. If the government wants to find someone, it only needs to find the boss. Unless the boss does not want to hang around in this area, as for those who wander around or dare to commit crimes across regions, they will be discovered.
It means chopping off hands and feet.
"Ahem, Capt. Yang, according to my analysis, the thief should not be from this city."
Lin Ye stopped the excited Yang Captou. Seeing Yang Captou's puzzled expression, he said: "The thieves who stole the goods are probably from other counties. I just asked the neighbors and Taoist Dawu of Qingfengguan told me
,Some people from other counties came to my area not long ago."
"Well, Mr. Lin suspects that the person from another county is stealing the sheep. That person should be out of the city now. I will lead people to chase him immediately."
"No need to chase them. I heard from Taoist Master Dawu that those people did not leave the city, but stayed in a restaurant in our city."
Yang Captou's expression changed and he glanced at Lin Ye. He understood a little. Things seemed not that simple.
"Master Lin, I understand, I will do whatever you say."
Captain Yang expressed his position, and Lin Ye also smiled and said: "In this case, you will lead a raid later to see if you can find my lost glass orb."
"Okay, then I'll wait two hours?"
"Um."
Lin Ye nodded and took out the hundred-tael silver note from his sleeve. In the past, Capt. Yang would have accepted it, but now...
"Take it, you don't want Capt. Yang, and the brothers below can't work in vain."
"Then thank you Mr. Lin. I will ensure that this matter is handled beautifully."
"No need to send it away."
Lin Ye walked out of the Yamen under the courtesy of Yang Captou. Yang Captou returned indoors and picked up the banknote, only to find that there was a bead underneath the banknote.
Dazzling.
"This is the seven-colored glazed orb that Mr. Lin said. Why did Mr. Lin forget such an important treasure here? Head on, I'll call Mr. Lin to stop him."
After listening to his deputy's words, Captain Yang slapped him on the back of the head.
"You idiot, Mr. Lin left this specially."
"Ah, why did Mr. Lin keep this?"
"What?"
Captain Yang sneered: "Hide this orb. When you go to the restaurant to search later, if you can't find it, you can put this orb in the other party's package. Do you understand?"
"frame……"
Snap!
Yang Captou slapped him again, knocking back what the deputy was about to say.
"As long as you know, don't say it."
…
…
Guests come to stay!
The first luxury restaurant in Shangyang City.
"Senior Brother, this restaurant is more luxuriously decorated than our county town. I never thought that such a good restaurant could exist in such a small Shangyang County town."
"Yes, this carpet is so comfortable to walk on, and the names of the rooms in this restaurant are also very strange. They are not classified according to heaven and earth, but they are classified according to presidential suites and executive suites."
"Elder brother, I just asked the waiter. The waiter said that there are only three presidential suites in the entire restaurant, and it costs fifty taels to stay there for one night. Qingfengguan is really rich."
Several young Taoist priests looked left and right, looking at the furniture in the room that was very novel.
"Why do I suddenly feel guilty? We are here to challenge you, but Qingfeng Temple treats us so well..."
"Me too."
The eldest middle-aged Taoist priest listened to the words of his junior brothers and sighed: "Hey, challenge Qingfeng Temple and find out the details of Qingfeng Temple. This is what the master ordered."
"Elder brother, why did master ask us to find out the details of Qingfeng Guan?"
"Not long ago, the master heard the news and learned that the disciples of Qingfeng Temple in Shangyang County have withered away. It is said that only the temple master and one disciple are left. This Qingfeng Temple has the word "Qing". As long as we defeat Qingfeng Temple, then our Taoyuan Temple will
Then it can be given the word "Qing", and the status of our Taoist temple in the Taoist sect will rise straight up."
"This, I always feel like I'm taking advantage of others' misfortune."
"Shut up, you can't talk nonsense about the master's plan."
"Yes, senior brother, I will go out for a walk first." The young Taoist priest who was criticized said angrily.
"Go ahead and don't cause trouble."
…
The same conversation was also held among the disciples of Tzu Chi Temple in another presidential suite.
The young Taoist priest always felt that his master was taking advantage of the situation, and Qingfeng Temple was so kind to them. He knew that they came to challenge him, but he still arranged such good food and accommodation for them.
Young people are thin-skinned and always feel guilty about repaying kindness with enmity.
"Little master, little master."
Not far after the young Taoist priest walked out of the restaurant door, he was met by a young merchant with a very honest and honest face walking towards him.
"Little master, I have a relative who works as a waiter in a restaurant. I heard that the master from Taoyuan Temple in Taihe County moved into the restaurant, so I came over immediately. Little master, are you the master from Taoyuan Temple?"
"Exactly, what's the matter with you?"
"That's great. I've heard of the reputation of Taoyuan Temple in Shangyang County. The masters are all very capable. I would like to ask you, young master, for an exorcism charm. My family has been a little uneasy lately..."
The young Taoist priest also had a look of pride on his face. He didn't expect that his Taoist temple's reputation would be known to people in Shangyang County so far away.
The exorcism talisman is not a powerful talisman, but he has one on him.
The young Taoist priest handed the exorcism talisman from his pocket to the other party. The other party was very excited and took out a sachet from his pocket.
"Need not."
The young Taoist priest refused, but the other party forced the sachet into his hand, turned around and ran away.
"You can't take advantage of the masters. This is a little trick. Master, you must accept it."
Seeing the figure running away, the young Taoist priest smiled helplessly. The people in Shangyang County were really simple.
