Chapter 8 The villain is like a ghost, very difficult to deal with
Three days later, Fusi Yamen in Beizhen.
Lin Lu, wearing a red flying fish suit, dragged his bloated body and came over early to order some meat.
He sat in the high hall, squinting at the general flags and small flags below.
Tuk-tuk-tuk, radish-thick fingers tapped on the table without saying a word.
They deliberately dried about half a stick of incense to show off the majesty of the hundred households, and then they started to light the incense.
"Xu Xian!"
"Zhao Rusong!"
"Zhou Ping..."
Compared with Nanzhen Fusi, which organizes documents every day and monitors the movements of officials in the DPRK and China.
Fusi's errand in Beizhen is much more complicated and dangerous.
Patrol the state capital, eliminate evil spirits, round up remnants, and investigate strange things...
Most of them were let out with their heads tied to their belts.
Only a small number of people can stay in Tianjing to coordinate with Heilongtai.
Which is good or bad, of course, needless to say.
After many of his colleagues dispersed, General Xu Xian and Xu Qi, wearing dark blue bullfighting uniforms, approached Lin Lu.
He put on a flattering smile and said flatteringly:
"Master Baihu, if you have nothing to do today, why don't you go to Sanweilou in Huairenfang to have a drink? I have specially prepared a banquet, and I invite you to show your respect!"
Beizhen Fusi has always taken turns to draw lots to dispatch errands.
The general flags and small flags that are free do not need to stay in the Yamen.
Either patrol the thirty-six squares with his Tiqi, or find a place to kill time.
If nothing big happens, it's actually quite relaxing.
Lin Baihu, who was broad-minded and fat, seemed to have not woken up. He had two dark circles under his eyes and yawned and asked:
"Has that ungrateful bastard from the Ji family come to an end?"
Xu Xian hesitated for a moment and said uncertainly:
"He should be dead. I asked Luo Lie from the Cao Gang to take action. That kid is at the level of external training. He received an iron sand palm with ten power points. There is no reason why he can still survive."
Lin Lu nodded slightly and said with satisfaction:
"That's good. Butler Lan has urged Ji Chengzu's position in the Hundred Households several times. It was originally a good thing for both of us.
Unexpectedly, that boy Ji Yuan refused to let me go. He repeatedly refuted my face and forced me to do this cruel thing!
To be on the safe side, you can go to his house later to see if there are any funeral arrangements. If he is really dead, I can report it to the superiors and receive a pension."
Xu Xianwen felt a chill in his heart, and secretly scolded Lin Bapi for being like a wild goose who plucked his feathers, even trying to embezzle the pension for Tiqi who died in the line of duty.
If you want to make money by killing people, you won't be afraid that Ji Jiulang will turn into a ghost after his death and come to seek his life.
"Understood, I will go to Tai'anfang to inquire about the news later. By the way, Mr. Baihu, I heard that this year's roster is being drawn up...
You also know that I have an eighty-year-old mother and a few-year-old son at home, and I really don’t want to leave Beijing."
Xu Xian bent down and said carefully.
"As for the transfer, several Qianhu adults and Commander Lu are still discussing. Besides, as long as you are willing to use money, you are not afraid of being transferred."
Lin Lu rubbed his fingers, the meaning was obvious.
If you want to do something, you have to pay more!
"Young one... I have already paid three hundred taels of silver to the Lords of the Hundred Households."
Xu Xian looked troubled.
How much wealth can he accumulate with just a general banner?
Even though he had made a lot of money over the years, he was almost squeezed out by the greedy Lin Lu.
"Things like dogs, with Yang Qianhu protecting them, they have to eat and take cards unscrupulously!"
A flash of anger flashed in Xu Xian's eyes, which turned into worry.
Since the sage stopped going to court, monsters and monsters are rampant outside the Daming Mansion.
Coupled with the endless killings of the remnants of the Jianghu, heretics and side sects frequently formed cliques to fight against the imperial court.
Beizhen Fusi's manpower losses are increasing day by day.
Especially the general flag, small flag and Tiqi are completely consumables.
At the end of each year, the superiors draw up a roster for overseas assignments.
Everyone was uneasy and moved around.
Afraid of bad luck and being written down.
"What can you do with three hundred taels of silver? It's just enough to treat a thousand households to a night of fancy wine!"
Lin Lu's fat face instantly became cold and he said angrily:
"What? Xu Xian, do you think I'll take the money and not do the work? Well, I won't care about the external transfer. You can find someone else to take care of it!"
Xu Xian resisted the curse of "Your mother will refund the money someday" and said with a smile:
"Master Baihu, please calm down. I made a blunder in a moment of impatience. Even if Ji Yuan is not dead, I still have nine ways to kill him, nine ways!
After I finish this matter, I will give you two hundred taels of silver to honor your lord, as an apology."
Lin Lu hummed twice and said impatiently:
"Go ahead, Butler Lan is willing to spend 2,500 taels to subsidize one hundred households in Fusi, Beizhen. Once the project is completed, your benefits will be indispensable.
Remember, we have to do it cleanly and beautifully, without leaving any clues. That boy Ji Yuan has a second uncle who is working in Nanzhen Fusi, we can't let him make a big fuss by following the truth."
Xu Xian nodded repeatedly and pretended not to hear the word "benefits".
His boss is notoriously greedy and stingy, and even a few ounces of oil can be squeezed out of a stone.
"What a damn unlucky person to follow such a piece of shit!"
Xu Xian bent down and exited the yamen, then straightened his back, ordered seven or eight of his close followers to ride, and went straight to Tai'anfang.
"Ji Jiulang, don't blame me. It has been true since ancient times that a man is not guilty but carries a jade.
The position of one hundred households, such a big piece of fat, you, a helpless, mud-legged person, can't hold it!"
…
…
Tai'anfang, Nanmen Hutong.
Ji Yuan stayed at home for three days without leaving the house.
Every day, food and drinks are delivered to your doorstep by a restaurant outside the alley. Meat is included in every meal and you are full.
It seems that I am living a comfortable life, but in fact my money bag is shrinking and is almost at the bottom.
During this period, my second uncle came twice.
The first is to see if you have any serious physical problems,
The second is to bring the tonic bought by Qianjintang.
"A bag of palm-sized tiger bones and ground deer antler into powder, boiled into a plaster, were sold for thirty taels of silver... If the world were more stable, I wouldn't practice martial arts and go straight to medicine."
Ji Yuan took off the last plaster and wiped away the traces with water.
He was naked from the waist down and sitting next to the well.
The well-proportioned and plump muscle lines contain terrifying power.
"It took three days to finally fully master the powerful body brought by [Reinforced Iron Bone]."
Ji Yuan exerted a little force, and the skin of the muscles and bones rolled flexibly, releasing strong qi and blood, which evaporated the water vapor on the surface of the body.
The accumulation of fate in the body and consciousness brings about a huge improvement.
Although it can be done overnight and changed in an instant, you still need to gradually become familiar with the changes.
Otherwise, it is like a child swinging a hammer and may hurt himself.
"So, I still relied on my own efforts and diligence to break through to the Great Perfection of External Refining."
Ji Yuan put on a moon-white coat and tied up his long hair with a wooden hairpin.
"Five days have passed, and no one named Lin has come to the door. It seems that they are sure that I will not survive.
It’s okay, first go to the Yamen and deal with a few villains, and then go to the martial arts hall and try to find a way out!”
Ji Yuan has never been an indecisive person. He knows when to be tough and when to be soft.
Lin Lu won't be able to handle that fat pig for a while.
Those who are working for him and helping him murder him must not be let go casually.
To eradicate evil, you must do your best, and if you hit a snake, you must kill it.
Ji Yuan understood this truth in his previous life.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Is Kuro at home?"
The rapid and violent banging on the door was mixed with shouting, so loud that it could be heard outside the alley.
