In the study room of the Commander-in-Chief's Yamen.
Wang Zheng held dozens of eucalyptus scrolls and pushed open the study door with some difficulty.
"Mr. Lin, during your absence, the summary of eucalyptus papers from various places is here."
Putting down the eucalyptus roll in his hand, Wang Zheng breathed a long sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Thank you." Lin Ji nodded, stood up and asked, "Is Mr. Fang back?"
"I'm back, waiting for you."
"I'll go right away." Lin Ji quickly stood up and walked out.
He rushed back to the capital early in the morning, and originally planned to go home for a visit. Who would have thought that he would meet his deputy Wang Zheng on the way.
Since the death of Xiang Xing, Wang Zheng has been replaced by Wang Zheng to handle the affairs of the commander-in-chief.
In fact, most of the crimes that can be handed over have already had results, so you only need to determine the punishment according to the regulations. Although it is cumbersome, it is not difficult.
Anyway, to use Wang Zheng's words, during the more than one month since Lin Ji was away, everything in the Commander's Office was as usual without any trouble.
This actually made Lin Ji feel that he had no sense of existence, so he did not go home, but went directly to the Yamen.
After a while, Lin Ji came outside Fang Yunshan's study.
Before he could knock on the door, Fang Yunshan's voice sounded inside.
"come in."
Lin Ji responded and pushed open the study room.
"Has Zhang Dahe been executed?" Fang Yunshan asked when he came up.
"Xiaoguan spared his life, and now he has changed his identity and joined the Zhenbei Army." Lin Ji said truthfully, "Although Zhang Dahe's murder was justified, it is a capital crime in theory. This is the fault of Xiaguan."
Hearing this, Fang Yunshan waved his hand.
"As long as you are aware of this matter, it is in the past and there is no need to mention it again."
Obviously, Fang Yunshan didn't care about Zhang Dahe's reasons, he only wanted a result.
If he changes his appearance and joins the Zhenbei Army, then Zhang Dahe of Supervising Tiansi is already dead, which is enough.
Fang Yunshan pointed to the seat opposite him and motioned for Lin Ji to sit down.
After Lin Ji took his seat, he said: "Zhang Dahe should not have delayed for so long."
Lin Ji did not hide anything, and simply recounted the events of beheading the elder of Feiyun Sect, encountering Ziyun Qingniu, and the subsequent fire-seeking envoy and Lei Yunzhu.
"After I obtained the Thunder Cloud Bead, I was worried that the Feiyun Sect would come to my door and I had the Holy Fire with me, so I wanted to return to the capital as soon as possible."
After finishing his words, Lin Ji took out the Lei Yunzhu and handed it to Fang Yunshan.
Fang Yunshan took the Thunder Cloud Bead, looked at it twice, and said with a chuckle: "I never thought you would have such a chance to be born with a treasure...even though I haven't seen much of it."
"As for identifying the owner of this Thunder Cloud Bead...there is a master of weapon refining in the capital, Huo Bubiao. You can ask him."
"Huo Bubiao?" Lin Ji nodded and made a mental note.
"The Qingzhi Sword has not yet been drawn. You are not specialized in swordsmanship, so there is no need to learn how to cultivate the sword like me. After seeing Huo Bubiao, you can also ask him to help you draw it."
Lin Ji responded.
In fact, he had long wanted to sharpen the Qingzhi Sword, but this sword was given to him by Fang Yunshan. He once said that he would sharpen the sword after he attained enlightenment.
Therefore, Lin Ji always had some scruples.
Now that Fang Yunshan took the initiative to bring it up, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fang Yunshan continued: "The Holy Fire Sect and the Fire Seeker... I also know about this matter, but because few people from the Holy Fire Sect dare to stir up trouble in Jingzhou, I don't need to take it to heart."
"As for that guy Shen Long..."
Speaking of Shen Long, Fang Yunshan had a bit of a smile on his face.
"You can ask him personally next time we meet. He won't harm you."
Now that Fang Yunshan said so, Lin Ji felt a lot more at ease.
Otherwise, if Shen Long is really the secret agent of the Holy Fire Sect in Jiantiansi, then Lin Ji may really feel uneasy.
"The Qi family in Fanyun City intends to surrender. This is good news. I will send someone to discuss it with them. You don't need to pay attention to this matter anymore."
"As for Beiguan City, you suspect that you were plotted by Qin Jinsong... In any case, his surname is Qin after all. Since there is nothing serious about you, let's just consider this matter in the past." Fang Yunshan said again.
Hearing this, Lin Ji was a little surprised.
"Sir, Qin Jinsong is the official of Yunzhou Town. If even he..."
"Your father-in-law is still here in Beiguan City. Now that he has gone to Yunzhou, don't you think Supervisor Tiansi has no sense of presence in Yunzhou?"
Fang Yunshan shook his head and said: "With the Zhenbei Army in Yunzhou, there will be no chaos. Qin Jinsong's thoughts have long been revealed. Maybe the last time the Saint of the Holy Fire Sect and his entourage came to Jingzhou, he was secretly taking care of them."
"Don't pay attention to this. This is the Qin family's housework and has nothing to do with us."
"Your Majesty, I know." Lin Ji responded.
He didn't take this matter to heart in the first place, but now that Fang Yunshan was around, he was even more unwilling to take care of it.
If you are not in your position, you will not seek to govern.
After explaining the experience of going to Yunzhou, Lin Ji was ready to resign.
Just when he was about to leave, Fang Yunshan suddenly stopped him again.
"Wait a minute..."
"What else do you have to say, sir?" Lin Ji paused.
Fang Yunshan thought for a moment and then said: "On New Year's Eve, the Qin family will go to Panlong Mountain to worship their ancestors."
"When I came to Beijing, I saw the notice on the door." Lin Ji responded and said with a smile, "It's just a royal ancestor worship, what does it have to do with me?"
"You also have to go together."
"Am I going too?" Lin Ji's expression froze.
"Don't forget, you are Lu Zhaoer's fiancé now. She is the princess, and you are also a relative of the emperor." Fang Yunshan reminded, "On New Year's Eve, you will enter the palace with me, and then go to Panlong Mountain together."
Hearing this, Lin Ji's brows suddenly wrinkled.
What he hates the most is these red tapes, and the royal family worships ancestors and heaven, which sounds troublesome.
"Can this matter be evaded?"
"Shit?" Fang Yunshan said in surprise, "Every time we worship ancestors, it is a time when the earth's veins are turbulent. At that time, dragon energy gathers on Panlong Mountain. After undergoing the baptism of dragon energy, if it is an ordinary person, it is possible for his qualifications to be improved, even for you.
There are also great benefits to being a monk in the Japanese Travel Realm, why... you don't want to go?"
"To put it simply, going to a royal ceremony might save you thirty-five years of hard work."
"Is there such a good thing?" Lin Ji was also stunned, and then quickly waved his hands and said, "I just asked the official casually, don't take it to heart."
"Ha, you are quite good at changing your words, go ahead." Fang Yunshan didn't care and waved his hand with a smile.
"I excuse myself." Lin Ji saluted and left Fang Yunshan's study.
If he had known that there were benefits to royal ancestor worship, he would not have complained so much.
Just like attending a wedding, you don’t have to give out red envelopes but you still get them. It’s such a good thing, so what if it’s a bit troublesome.
