After explaining, the young man stood up and came to Zhong Xiaoyan.
He opened the folding fan and waved it for a moment, making his long hair flutter.
The fan is painted with landscapes and a few lines of poetry in small print next to it.
"Chu Lai, the headman of Leize County, has met this girl."
Hearing that the person in front of her recognized him as a woman, Zhong Xiaoyan was obviously surprised and subconsciously looked at Lin Ji standing aside.
Lin Ji curled his lips, with your figure, do you really think you can't be recognized wearing men's clothes?
However, Lin Ji was a little surprised that this man was the head catcher of Leize County.
Seeing that no one spoke, Chu Lai didn't feel embarrassed. He still had the right smile on his face and continued: "I just want to meet the girl and do my best to be a landlord. There are few outsiders coming to Leize County, and
The girl is extremely beautiful, even if she wears men's clothes, she can't hide her charming charm, so I can't help myself."
This is true, three points for the reason and seven points for the praise. It can be seen that this Chu Lai is a well-rounded guy.
If an ordinary little girl saw such a graceful and elegant man, who was already a target at such a young age, he would probably fall for the bait.
But unfortunately, Zhong Xiaoyan is not an ordinary little girl.
Even Lin Ji often felt that she was not a little girl at all.
"What? You want to pursue me?" Zhong Xiaoyan said in a shocking tone.
The expression on Chu Lai's face was obviously stagnant, but he reacted quickly and continued to chuckle: "If you want to say that, girl...it's not bad. A gentle lady and a gentleman are so jealous. A person as beautiful as a fairy like a girl,
It’s not an exaggeration for me to feel happy when I see you, right?”
Zhong Xiaoyan was obviously very impressed by these words.
She smiled and narrowed her eyes, but looked at Lin Ji.
"Look at how people talk!"
Lin Ji spat out a mouthful of tea.
"Ahem, this guy looks like a pervert at first glance. Would you believe this kind of thing?"
As soon as he said this, Chu Lai's expression immediately changed. He looked very stern like Lin Ji.
"This brother insulted me when he opened his mouth. I guess he felt ashamed when he saw me, so he felt jealous?"
Chu Lai closed his fan and pointed it directly at Lin Ji.
"It doesn't matter that I'm being humiliated, but my brother's words are rude to this girl. Please apologize to this girl, otherwise this matter will not be resolved."
Lin Ji stared blankly at the head catcher in front of him.
He has been hanging out in the market for a long time, and he has never seen any kind of person.
But this was the first time he had seen someone so flirtatious.
In just a few words, he transferred the conflict between himself and Zhong Xiaoyan, as if he had just mocked Zhong Xiaoyan.
Lin Ji chose the most direct response to such a provocation.
Take out the Yuxing Token and slap it on the table.
"Go, stand aside and wait until we are free after dinner, then we will take care of you."
Lin Ji raised his thumb and pointed toward the corner, then ignored Chu Lai.
Chu Lai was quite angry at first, but when he saw the tokens on the table clearly, his face immediately turned pale.
He looked up and down at Lin Ji in disbelief, feeling dizzy in his head.
Looking at Zhong Xiaoyan and the bald man at the same table, I also saw a bit of ridicule in their eyes.
Only then did Chu Lai realize that these three people were all monks, and their cultivation levels were all above his.
I'm afraid he was treated as a joke from the beginning.
So he stood obediently in the corner pointed by Lin Ji.
You Xingguan is not something he, a county chief, can afford to offend.
This scene was also seen by other guests in the inn. They saw the local head catcher being dealt with, and they all also speculated on the origins of Lin Ji and others.
However, no one left. It was obvious that they were not going to take action anymore, and they could not make the onlookers give up watching the fun.
In fact, most of the time, it won't work even if you take action. You have to cause disaster and kill a few fish in the pond.
Soon, Lin Ji and the other three finished their meal.
After a month of eating and drinking, even though there was nothing special about the food in this inn, the three of them ate it with gusto and enjoyed it.
After drinking and eating, Lin Ji stood up and waved to Chu Lai.
"Come to my room and talk."
"In the room..." I don't know why, but when he heard this, Chu Lai's face turned a little pale, and a heavy cold sweat fell from his forehead.
He had heard about the special habits of some dignitaries.
No, probably not?
With extreme anxiety, Chu Lai followed Lin Ji to the room on the second floor of the inn.
Fortunately for him, Zhong Xiaoyan and Wu Nan also followed in.
After returning to the room, Lin Jidang sat down first and then said: "You can sit down too. Don't be nervous. I didn't ask you to come up to scold you."
Seeing that Lin Ji didn't seem to be lying, Chu Lai breathed a sigh of relief.
"You haven't asked me your name yet?"
"Lin Ji."
"I've met Lin Youxing." Chu Lai saluted.
Lin Ji nodded perfunctorily and said straight to the point: "How much do you know about Leiyun Temple on Leiyun Mountain?"
This is Lin Ji's main purpose.
The innkeeper is just an ordinary person, and he certainly doesn't know as much as the local headhunter in front of him.
Originally, Lin Ji planned to go to the Yamen after having a good meal, but unexpectedly Chu Lai showed up on his own.
This is a good thing and saves you trouble.
After hearing Lin Ji's question, Chu Lai thought for a moment, but shook his head slightly.
"Sir, I don't know much about Leiyun Temple."
Lin Ji frowned slightly, he was not satisfied with this answer.
"You are the local head catcher, how come you don't know much about Leiyun Temple? Is there another hidden secret, or is it deliberate prevarication?"
"I don't dare," Chu Lai quickly waved his hands and said, "It's not that I'm prevaricating, it's because Leiyun Temple has never had any dealings with the Yamen since it reopened."
"Then tell me what you know."
Chu Lai pondered for a moment before continuing: "Sir, there are some unusual things about this Leiyun Temple."
"One is that this temple is quite efficacious. After people pray for blessings, their wishes often come true. Because of this, the Leiyun Temple is very popular."
"Secondly, this Leiyun Temple does not refuse anyone who comes."
"What does it mean to not reject anyone who comes?"
"Monks who travel from north to south can hang out in the temple and walk around under the banner of Leiyun Temple."
Chu Lai smiled bitterly and said: "Your Excellency, I am here for Leiyun Temple. I'm afraid it's because some monks used the name of Leiyun Temple to get into trouble, right? This happens all the time."
Lin Ji was noncommittal.
Chu Lai continued: "Because of this matter, I went up the mountain to visit Abbot Chen, but the abbot prevaricated me, and then nothing happened. Our county government can't do anything about this matter and can't control it.
On their heads."
"The master of Leiyun Temple called Chen?"
"yes."
"Okay, I understand, you can go down." Lin Ji waved his hand and sent Chu Lai away.
When the boy walked out of the room, he reluctantly glanced at Zhong Xiaoyan before leaving quickly.
Lin Jido couldn't help but laugh out loud at such a lustful look.
"Beauty is a disaster."
"Who are you talking about!" Zhong Xiaoyan immediately became furious.
"I will tell you who is beautiful!"
"You...I...you...!" For a moment, Zhong Xiaoyan was speechless. Is this a compliment to her?
Wu Nan was more concerned about the affairs of Leiyun Temple.
"So, those swindling monks in Xiangzhou just use the name of Leiyun Temple?"
Lin Ji shook his head slightly.
"It's hard to say, I still have to go see Abbot Luochen."
