Late at night, an urgent message appeared on the desk of Huang Rong, the head of the Huang family.
After reading the contents of the emergency report, he put down the letter and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lin Ji..."
Just when Huang Rong was frowning and thinking, a maid spoke softly outside.
"Sir, dinner is ready."
"good."
Huang Rong got up and came to the restaurant.
In the restaurant, several members of the direct lineage of the Huang family have arrived, but the main seat is empty.
Seeing Huang Rong appear, the middle-aged man on the deputy seat who looked somewhat similar to Huang Rong spoke.
He is Huang Chengjie, Huang Rong's younger brother.
"Brother, why are you here so slowly? Today in Luofu Shanfang City, we crushed those bald donkeys in Jingang Temple. I'm just waiting to tell you." Huang Chengjie's face was quite excited.
.
He is in charge of the Huang family's business. After the collapse of Tantric Buddhism, Victoria is now in dire straits and is waiting for prosperity. This is the critical moment for the Huang family's rise.
Huang Rong had no expression on his face and sat down on the main seat.
The Huang family are all monks, so this dinner is unnecessary.
But this is the rule of the Huang family. If there is nothing important, dinner cannot be missed, even he, the head of the family, is no exception.
The original intention of this practice is to make family members closer.
But as many years passed, this dinner gradually became something that only direct members of the Huang family could attend.
"Something happened, let's talk while eating."
He moved his chopsticks first, but the juniors at the table made no move.
Even the smile on Huang Chengjie's face gradually stopped.
They all saw that the master of the house had something on his mind.
"Brother, what happened?" Huang Chengjie asked.
Huang Rong only moved his chopsticks symbolically.
"Your Huang Xiong was seeking pleasure in Jade City, and he poisoned ordinary people with the joy poison, killing several girls."
"Is it just this?" Huang Chengjie was surprised. He accidentally killed several ordinary people. Is this something worth mentioning at dinner?
Huang Rong continued expressionlessly: "He is now captured by Jian Tiansi and will be beheaded at Caishikou of Yucheng three days later."
"What?!" Huang Chengjie stood up suddenly, the shock in his eyes quickly turned into anger.
No wonder this kid hasn't been seen or heard from in the past few days. It turned out that he was arrested by Jian Tiansi's people.
"Who is so bold? He dares to kill even my son? How dare he mess with our Huang family in Victoria because of the Jian Tiansi who has internal and external troubles?"
As he spoke, Huang Chengjie slapped the table.
"The Supervisor Tiansi is currently only a commander of the sixth realm. Geng Mu has just joined the Japanese tour. How dare they? Hum, I will go to Jade City to ask them for an explanation..."
"Sit down!" Huang Rong shouted loudly, which made Huang Chengjie tremble all over.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
After Huang Chengjie sat down, Huang Rong continued: "Since they dare to offend us like this, they are naturally confident... The new town official is here, Lin Ji from Jingzhou."
As soon as the word Lin Ji came out of his mouth, the two girls who had been silent next to the dining table suddenly raised their heads.
"Is it Brother Lin?" Huang Cui said in surprise.
"Brother Lin has come to Victoria?" Huang Ling also stared at the side.
Huang Rong naturally knew about his two daughters.
He nodded slightly and said to Huang Chengjie: "Lin Ji is kind to my Huang family. If it weren't for him, both of my daughters would have suffered... Second brother, you still have to go to Yucheng, but you can't be rude to him. I want to come."
With my reputation as the Huang family, there should be room for mediation in this matter."
"I know, I'll go right away." Huang Chengjie nodded, got up and walked out of the restaurant.
Seeing the second child leaving, Huang Rong was still a little worried.
"Remember, don't be rude! Although Lin Ji is young, he has a good reputation and is not easy to mess with. He was also involved in the tantric affairs at the beginning."
"Don't worry, I know it." Huang Chengjie responded perfunctorily, but his steps became faster and faster.
Huang Xiong was his only son, so it was impossible for him not to be impatient.
...
Late at night, Yucheng Mansion Office.
In the meeting hall.
"Sir, the current situation in Victoria is probably like this." Geng Mu breathed a long sigh of relief, picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip.
Lin Ji nodded slightly. What Geng Mu said was very different from what Gao Ling said last night.
Victoria was in dire straits, and when the Tantric Sect's huge territory fell apart, it would naturally be targeted by various forces in Victoria.
There will be no shortage of overt and covert struggles everywhere.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Ji had no idea and simply asked: "Ling Geng, what do you think the Supervisor Tiansi should do now?"
Geng Mu put down his tea cup, obviously he had something in mind.
"Sir, what Supervisor Tiansi wants is stability."
"That's right." Lin Ji nodded.
The existence of Supervisor Tiansi is for the stability of Jiuzhou.
Whether it is to eliminate demons and defend the Way, or to uphold the Way of Heaven.
Jiuzhou is stable, and the natural luck is Changhong. This is a good thing that the entire Jiantiansi and even Daqin will benefit from.
After all, Supervisor Tiansi is not a certain sect or a certain sect, and he never cares about the benefits. He already has the luck of Kyushu, so he will naturally not compete with those sects and family forces for others.
"The battles between the various forces have nothing to do with Jian Tiansi. If they like to fight to the death, let them fight! It doesn't matter if the whole family is wiped out!"
As he spoke, Geng Mu became more and more helpless: "Jian Tiansi only told them not to violate the prohibitions and do evil and not to harm the people. But these two simple points are now even more difficult in Weizhou."
Lin Ji smiled.
"It's simple to put it this way, but I thought it was complicated before."
Previously, Lin Ji had been thinking about making the forces in Victoria obedient, but now that he thought about it, there was no need to do so.
Jian Tiansi is for slaying demons, not human monks, nor is he that ambitious.
It is extremely difficult to make those forces obedient, and there is no benefit at all. It is purely thankless.
"So, it is enough to make those forces fearful." Lin Ji said.
"Sir, this is easy to say."
"It's not difficult to do." Lin Ji waved his hand and interrupted Geng Mu.
"Now that I'm here, I can't just sit down and eat. It happened that the younger member of the Huang family bumped into my hand, so I used him to operate and kill him as a warning to others."
Geng Mu was a little worried and said: "Sir, if nothing else happens, the Huang family has already sent people to Jade City by now."
"What are you sending people for? To beg for mercy?"
Geng Mu nodded and shook his head.
"The Huang family will always try their best to save Huang Xiong's life. It doesn't matter if you kill a junior, but this is a slap in their face."
"I know." Lin Ji smiled.
Geng Mu frowned slightly, a little confused.
The smile on Lin Ji's face became more and more unrestrained.
"I hope the Huang family can send someone important."
Geng Mu understood now.
"My lord, was this your plan from the beginning?"
"Absolutely." Lin Ji said casually, "It's hard to make people obey, but it's extremely simple to make people feel awe. It's nothing more than killing."
"This..." Geng Mu was speechless.
Lin Ji put down the teacup in his hand.
"If one person is not enough, kill a few more. If you don't mind, kill the one who is not afraid."
As he spoke, Lin Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, with murderous intent solidifying in his eyes.
Geng Mu, who was standing by, felt a chill in his heart. Although he had long known how powerful Lin Ji was, at this moment, just the vague killing intent in him made him, who was also a day traveler, frightened.
