After just a moment, Geng Mu returned to the study.
Behind him was Gao Ling, whose face was pale and green.
At this time, Gao Ling didn't have the heroic spirit of the past. He was groggy, his steps were shaky when he walked, and his breath was extremely weak.
"Sir." Gao Ling cupped his hands and remained silent.
Lin Ji nodded slightly in response, without saying anything casually, and just smiled at Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong couldn't laugh.
The Huang family has been raising voodoos for generations. Huang Zhong is the ancestor of the current Huang family, and he is naturally the ancestor of voodoos.
The moment he saw Gao Ling, he already understood many things.
Without Lin Ji opening his mouth, Huang Zhong suddenly let out a subtle humming sound like a whimper. This sound had a strange rhythm that made it very impressive.
At the same time as the humming sound sounded, Lin Ji noticed an invisible wave spreading from Huang Zhong's body, and then wrapped Gao Ling.
"Ahhh!"
Gao Ling's face suddenly changed, and his green face turned a little darker.
As the screams rang out, he lost the strength to even stand, and fell to the ground, his eyes splitting in pain, and rolling all over the ground.
Just after struggling on the ground for a moment, Gao Ling's voice suddenly stopped.
He opened his mouth wide, reached into his throat with both hands, and dug hard, as if he wanted to stuff his arms into the throat.
Seeing this scene, Huang Zhong shook his head slightly, and with a flick of his finger, Gao Ling fainted, and his hands naturally dropped to his sides.
After a while, a Gu worm emerged from his throat, spread its wings and flew onto Huang Zhong's clothes. It nimbly burrowed inside and disappeared.
"Take him down. Although the heart-eating Gu has damaged his heart, fortunately he was not poisoned for a long time and the damage is not serious. With Jian Tiansi's background, a fifth-grade resurrection pill is enough.
"
"Commander Geng, take him down and get a fifth-grade resurrection pill from the treasure house for him," Lin Ji ordered.
Geng Mu responded, helped Gao Ling up, and said: "Sir, I need your handwriting to open the government treasure house."
Lin Ji suddenly realized that he didn't understand many rules when he first took office.
Soon, Lin Ji wrote the handwritten edict, took out the seal of the Weizhou town official and printed it on it, before giving it to Geng Mu.
Speaking of which, I found the official seal of the Weizhou Town Government in the study. I didn't expect to use it so soon after I got it.
After Geng Mu left, Lin Ji smiled at Huang Zhong and said, "How do you do, fellow Taoist Huang?"
Huang Zhong's face looked extremely ugly at this time, he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.
Hearing Lin Ji's voice, he raised his head, frowned and said, "Who planted the poison on the chief catcher?"
"Your second son Huang Chengjie."
"That evil creature with no eyes!" Huang Zhong roared a bit rudely, and then asked, "Why did that evil creature trap the poison on Na Zong?"
"He forcibly broke into the government office and was stopped by Mr. Gao, so he became dissatisfied, hurt the demon policeman in the government office, and even attacked Mr. Gao." The smile on Lin Ji's face became even brighter.
He knew that Huang Zhong had given up saving Huang Chengjie and his son.
It's not that he doesn't want to save, and it's not that he can't forcefully take action, but after all, there is still a Huang family behind him.
But if this incident hadn't happened, Huang Zhong could still be tough if he was too soft. The worst he could do would be to offend Lin Ji to death. Anyway, as long as the person is alive, nothing can be said.
This matter will never go on forever, and even if Lin Ji breaks through to Taoism in the future, he will not have trouble with the Huang family.
But to kill the chief arrester of Jian Tiansi for no reason is an absolute capital crime, and there is no room for mediation.
After hearing Lin Ji's explanation, Huang Zhong let out a long sigh, and his originally upright figure seemed to stoop a little.
He was silent for a long time, and finally raised his head and looked at Lin Ji, but said with a bitter smile: "You are going to kill me, the Huang family, as a warning to others! Mr. Lin is so majestic. When a new official takes office, he dares to do it in the first place. My Huang family’s head is burning.”
Lin Ji said: "If we really want to talk about it, Lin and the Huang family can be considered to have some friendship..."
"I know about this, my two granddaughters." The bitterness on Huang Zhong's face dissipated a little.
Lin Ji nodded and said: "Yes...so Lin is not targeting the Huang family, but anyone."
Speaking of this, Lin Ji's tone became slightly tougher.
"Jian Tiansi has always had little contact with the sect's aristocratic families. On weekdays, various factions usually send their juniors to Supervisor Tiansi for training. The rest of the time, they generally ignore you... but you are going too far."
Lin Ji stood up and patted the eucalyptus scrolls stacked on the desk.
"You dare to rob the Tantric sect's heritage. Why didn't you help when the Tantric sect was destroyed?" Lin Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "That's it, but you are not greedy enough. As long as you live in villages and counties close to the Tantric sect temples, Is there any place that has not been looted by you? The excuse you used is that you are worried about the remaining poison of Tantric Buddhism?"
Lin Ji casually opened a eucalyptus scroll, glanced at it, and handed it to Huang Zhong.
This was almost a slap in the face, so Huang Zhong didn't look at the eucalyptus scroll at all, but closed it and pressed Lin Ji's hand on the table.
"I have heard about these things, but I didn't know that the people below were so outrageous."
"Oh, is this more than excessive? On the pretext of cleaning up the remaining poison of Tantric Buddhism, if the common people complain even half a word, they will have their hands and feet cut off, or even killed on the spot!"
As he spoke, Lin Jiyou put the eucalyptus scroll in his hand back to its original place, feeling glad that Huang Zhong didn't have the nerve to look at it.
What was recorded in the scroll was an unrelated incident. A corrupt man was arrested in a county in Victoria. Lin Ji glanced at it in a hurry when he opened it, but his movements were too smooth. I already regretted it when I left.
But these are all side effects.
Lin Ji added: "In order to develop power, we want to recruit disciples in Weizhou, that's all! But we can arrest all the children of school age. If they have talent, they will stay. If they don't have talent, they will drive them away regardless of life and death!"
"Hey, in your eyes, are the people just like pigs as the Tantra said at the beginning? Drive them when they are useful and kill them when they are useless. When you have nothing to do, you can find a thin-skinned and tender one, and you can also beat and sacrifice the teeth of it? "
These were almost heartbreaking words, and Huang Zhong's face turned extremely ugly.
But Lin Ji became more and more enthusiastic as he talked.
"Fellow Daoist Huang, what excuse did you use when you ate children? Alaya consciousness has gone, could it be that you have created a new Bodhisattva?"
Huang Zhong finally couldn't sit still.
He stood up abruptly, glaring at Lin Ji with a bit of anger in his eyes.
But when he saw Lin Ji's fearless calmness, he felt a little short of breath for no reason.
"Don't think Lin is exaggerating. I'm not talking about you as a Taoist. It's just that the behavior of some people in Victoria now is just an extra layer of fig leaf compared to the tantric sect back then."
Huang Zhong shook his head and said: "Master Lin, please stop talking. I will take a look at that beastly father and son and then leave."
"No." Lin Ji simply refused.
"What, if I can't save them, I can't even say goodbye to my children?" Huang Zhong was already on the verge of an explosion.
Lin Ji didn't care.
"If you want to see him, you can. I will carry out the execution in person at the Caishikou of Yucheng at noon tomorrow."
