Lin Ji asked her to sit down, poured her a cup of tea and placed it in front of her.
Seeing that Huang Ling was still trembling and still frightened, he said with relief: "Don't panic, as long as I'm here, those people don't dare to do anything to you."
"Thank you, big brother." Huang Ling was a little at a loss.
"My surname is Lin."
"Brother Lin."
"Yeah." Lin Ji responded casually. After seeing that Huang Ling had indeed relaxed a little, he asked, "Can you tell me what's going on?"
Huang Ling cautiously raised her head and glanced at Lin Ji, then whispered: "What does Brother Lin want to know?"
Lin Ji thought for a while and asked, "What's going on with the prisoner next door who is being detained by the Department of Corrections?"
"That's Lord Shen Hongshen, the prefect of Yangzhou."
Lin Ji already knew this, but he was not in a hurry and asked again: "What did he commit?"
"Master Shen was framed by a traitor! Brother Lin, if you go to Yangzhou now, you will know that the people are crying out for injustice for Master Shen..."
Lin Ji was unmoved.
The ideas of the people in this world are the least valuable and meaningless.
"Be specific."
Huang Cui couldn't explain why.
She hesitated and said: "I...I don't know very well, but my two senior brothers said that Mr. Shen was wronged and we have to seek justice."
"Senior brother? Are those two people from the Huang family in Weizhou?"
"That's not true." Huang Ling shook her head and said, "Our children will come out to practice and join some sects."
Speaking of this, Huang Ling suddenly remembered that she still had a senior brother in the hands of the Editorial Department.
"Brother Lin, my senior brother..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lin Ji waved his hand and said, "I saved you because Huang Cui and I know each other. Don't push yourself too far."
"But my senior brother ended up like this just for the sake of justice."
Lin Ji smiled helplessly.
"So what? You can't even explain the cause and effect clearly, and justice is not what you think it is. Besides, there are so many injustices in this world, how can I care about every one of them?"
"But..."
Lin Ji didn't want to listen to her nonsense, so he interrupted directly: "You're not injured, so just leave if you have nothing else to do."
Seeing Lin Ji get up and open the door to the room, Huang Ling's expression changed several times, but she finally got up.
Originally, she thought Lin Ji would help her. There was no difference between saving one person and two.
But Lin Ji's coldness made her despair.
But she still had some self-respect after all. Seeing Lin Ji seeing off the guests, she could only stand up.
Just as she walked out of the door, Huang Ling paused again.
"There were many people along the way who wanted Lord Shen to die."
"What do you mean?" Lin Ji was stunned.
Huang Ling was silent for a moment and whispered: "My senior brother said that the people above want Master Shen to die, but they cannot simply die. Brother Lin, you should be able to understand what this means. If he is not rescued in time, I'm afraid...
.”
Huang Ling did not continue speaking, she bowed slightly, and then quickly left the inn without a trace.
But these words left Lin Ji with some thoughts.
...
Originally, Lin Ji planned to leave during the day, since Tongtian Town was only a few dozen miles away from the capital.
But Huang Ling's words aroused some curiosity in him, so he was not in a hurry to go to the capital, and instead stayed in an inn.
In the past, Lin Ji would have stayed as far away as possible, not to mention watching the excitement, and not even bothering to inquire.
But now he is already a monk in the Sun Travel Realm, and he can be regarded as one of the top people in Kyushu.
If he is not worthy of watching the fun in the Japanese travel realm, then he is still practicing.
"After all, I need to have some fun." Lin Ji thought to himself.
At night, everything is silent.
Lin Ji had already probed out his spiritual consciousness and enveloped the entire inn.
After midnight, the sound of gongs and drums sounded outside the inn.
The sound of gongs and drums seemed to be some kind of signal.
Shortly after the sound rang, Lin Ji suddenly noticed several figures approaching the inn from a distance.
Lin Ji didn't bother to cover up, so he opened the window directly in the night light and looked at the guys with murderous looks.
They were three men in black, their faces covered so that they couldn't see their appearance.
Lin Ji obviously underestimated the strength of these people. Just when Lin Ji looked at them curiously, they also discovered Lin Ji.
"Huh? Third brother, go kill that man."
"knew."
Soon, a man in black came straight to Lin Ji, and the remaining two broke into the inn.
Lin Ji became more and more curious when he saw that he was getting into trouble just by watching the fun.
The moment the man in black approached him, Lin Ji simply stretched out his hand, and the long knife fell into the air inexplicably, and he grabbed the man in black by the neck.
"Fourth realm? With this level of cultivation, you still want to be a killer?" Lin Ji raised his eyebrows and took off the man in black's face scarf.
This man looked to be in his forties, with a face full of flesh, but at this moment, his fierce face was full of panic and helplessness.
Lin Jize asked directly: "Are you here to kill Shen Hong?"
Upon hearing Lin Ji's direct question, the man in black's expression suddenly changed.
Little did he know that Lin Ji also knew only a little bit about it. Such questions were purely a lie to him.
"You are so unfaithful! We agreed to kill Shen Hong together inside and outside, so why did you capture me here? Why, do you want to take advantage of others?"
Lin Ji sneered: "So what if you take advantage of others?"
"This..." The man in black was speechless.
At the same time, the sound of fighting also sounded outside the room.
Lin Ji no longer hesitated and directly broke the neck of the man in black and walked out of the room.
In the lobby on the first floor, Fu An led a group of men and besieged a man in black.
The man in black actually has a cultivation level of the fifth level, which is comparable to Fu'an.
Therefore, almost all of him was fighting against Fu'an at this time, while the other officers from the Editorial Department were just raiding the formation.
Lin Ji just glanced at it and stopped paying attention. Instead, he quickly arrived outside the room where Shen Hong was imprisoned.
When he pushed open the door to the room, he happened to see another man in black waving a long sword and heading straight for Shen Hong's heart.
"Slow down." Lin Ji suddenly said.
The man in black was startled, but his sword remained unabated.
Unfortunately, in front of Lin Ji, the speed of the long sword was far from fast.
With one step, he was already in front of Shen Hong, and directly reached out to grab the sword edge that was brought to him.
The sharp blade could not even break through his palm.
"Bold gangster! This is a serious criminal of the imperial court. Even if he is going to die, it will not be your turn to kill him!"
Lin Ji kicked the man in black hard, and the man in black flew backwards, collapsing two walls before he could stop. It seemed that he would not live long.
Lin Ji's voice also startled everyone downstairs.
But it didn't matter whether he was alarmed or not, because Lin Ji had already arrived downstairs after confirming that there were no threats around him.
