Chu Jin was another commander in chief of the Weizhou government office.
When Lin Ji saw him in the meeting hall, he stood up and saluted slightly.
"My subordinate Chu Jin has met Mr. Lin."
Lin Ji sat down on the main seat and looked him up and down.
This man was skinny, his face was a little pale, and he seemed to be terminally ill.
But during Lin Ji's investigation, he discovered that his soul was condensed, and there was a faint golden light shining in it.
"Chu Zhang Ling has reached the threshold of breaking through the Japanese tour." Lin Ji said.
Chu Jin was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Lin Ji's young face.
After a while, he stood up again, this time he bowed to the end.
"Master Lin has a keen eye, and his subordinates admire him."
"You were not in Yucheng earlier. Were you on errands?"
Chu Jin shook his head.
"It's not about running an errand. It's about finding a quiet place to practice outside the city and trying to find a way to break through the day trip." After a pause, Chu Jin said helplessly, "It's not the Yuanshen monks' turn to handle the errands in Weizhou. Geng and I need to do it."
Most of the errands carried out by the Lord are related to various sects and families, and in the end they will be left unsolved."
Lin Ji had already heard about this situation from Geng Mu yesterday, so it was not surprising.
He thought about it.
Now that the Weizhou Supervisory Office is weak, it cannot be reversed in a day or two. He has to personally do something to solve it.
In this case, having one more night-walking monk is of no use.
Thinking of this, Lin Ji waved his hand and said: "You are at a critical moment in your cultivation. It is not easy for me to drive you at this time. I think there is already a hint of Rihua power in your soul. If I give you two months, you can break through."
Day trip?”
Chu Jin nodded.
"almost."
"Go ahead and come see me again after your day trip." Lin Ji waved his hand.
Chu Jin stood up and saluted: "Thank you for your understanding."
After Chu Jin left, it didn't take long for several Youxing officials who were away on business to return.
For these wandering stars who were only in the fourth realm, Lin Ji just gave them a few words of encouragement after meeting and then sent them away.
Afterwards, Lin Ji returned to the backyard of the government office and came to the study.
Opening the window next to the desk, there was a big tree outside the window, and there were several spiritual pigeons chirping on the tree.
"It looks quite similar to Master Fang's study in the capital... When Master Tian was still there, this study was not like this. Was it the arrangement of Master Zi Qing later?"
Thinking of trivial matters in his mind, Lin Ji leaned on his chair and glanced at the empty desk.
I felt bored and simply closed my eyes.
...
Late at night, a knock on the door woke Lin Ji up.
He yawned and looked up out of the window, realizing that he had slept all day without realizing it.
Light the oil lamp on the table.
"who?"
"Sir, Huang Chengjie of the Huang family would like to see you." Gao Ling's voice was filled with pain and weakness.
Lin Ji frowned, waved slightly, and the study door was pushed open by spiritual power.
Then, he saw Gao Ling standing at the door with a face full of cold sweat, and behind Gao Ling was a somewhat thin middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man met Lin Ji's eyes, then he pushed Gao Ling in front of him and walked into the study.
"Huang Chengjie has met Mr. Lin." Huang Chengjie bowed slightly, with an inexplicable smile on his face.
Lin Ji glanced at Gao Ling at the door and frowned slightly, knowing in his heart that something might have happened to Gao Ling, and it was related to the man in front of him.
But he was not in a hurry and asked with a chuckle: "Your surname is Huang? What is your status in the Huang family?"
"We are directly from the Huang family. I am the second eldest son. Huang Rong, the head of the Huang family, is my eldest brother." Huang Chengjie said.
Lin Ji smiled, made an invitation gesture, and asked Huang Chengjie to sit down opposite him.
"So you are Huang Lao Er?"
Huang Chengjie had just sat down and his expression suddenly froze when he heard the name Lin Ji.
He looked at Lin Ji's young face, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
"Master Lin, the Huang Xiong you captured a few days ago is my flesh and blood. Please be kind to Master Lin and let him go." Huang Chengjie cupped his hands and said, "Although that boy is naughty, he has suffered now. Let's end this matter. How?
?”
Lin Ji was noncommittal.
"What's the benefit?"
Huang Chengjie was stunned for a moment, then a look of disdain appeared on his face.
"Haha, of course there are benefits. The Huang family will never let their friends suffer... Five thousand yuan crystals, what do you think?"
"Your son is only worth five thousand yuan crystals?" Lin Ji raised his eyebrows.
Huang Chengjie said: "Mr. Lin, it's just a few unworthy prostitutes who died. To put it bluntly, it's 5,000 yuan crystal. Even if they only pay 500 taels of silver to their families, they will never complain at all.
You may even feel like you’ve made a huge profit.”
The implication is that it's just a small matter, and I don't want to cause major bleeding.
Hearing Huang Chengjie's words, Lin Ji nodded.
"You overestimate those people, five hundred taels? Give your dead daughter to a brothel and give her family fifty taels, and they will shed tears of gratitude! Speaking of which, what's the price for selling girls in Yucheng?"
"This...Huang doesn't know." Huang Chengjie was a little confused, and the topic changed too quickly.
Lin Ji smiled and thought to himself: "Now I have to go and find out. I sold my daughter to Yanliu Land to make money. If I can't sell my daughter for a price, the lives of ordinary people are not worth mentioning."
.Human life is like grass.”
Huang Chengjie frowned slightly.
"Sir, let's talk about my son Huang Xiong. As long as you release him, five thousand yuan crystals will be given to you immediately. In addition, the Huang family will also treat you as a guest. If you have anything to say in the future, Huang
My family is quite powerful in Victoria, so I can help to some extent."
The smile on Lin Ji's face gradually grew.
"This is a good deal. You can let go of the irrelevant Huang Xiong, earn a fortune in yuan crystals, and build a good relationship with your local gangsters, the Huang family, so you can kill two birds with one stone."
"That's right." Huang Chengjie nodded repeatedly.
Having said this, the two of them stopped speaking, but stared at each other quietly.
Lin Ji tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table. After a moment, he suddenly stood up.
"Huang Xiong is being held in the prison of the government office. Huang Lao Er, why don't we go take a look together?"
Huang Chengjie nodded and stood up together, but said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Lin, the title Huang Laoer is too unpleasant."
"Then Huang Laoer, tell yourself, what should I call you?" Lin Ji walked out of the study without looking back.
Huang Chengjie could only keep up.
"I am much older than you, you should call me Brother Huang."
Lin Ji didn't speak any more, but just walked towards the prison.
Seeing this, although Huang Chengjie was dissatisfied, he did not have an attack.
The top priority is to rescue his son, and the rest will come later.
He looked at Lin Ji's back in front of him, with a bit of disdain on his face.
"It turns out that he is a greedy person, Supervisor Lin Ji... he has a good reputation, but he is not as well-known as meeting him."
