With the pie that Lin Ji drew for him, the torture he had suffered before seemed to have disappeared. When he left, his steps were windy, and he was obviously in a good mood.
"Gao Ling is one of our own, and he should have some elite soldiers and generals." Lin Ji watched Gao Ling leave.
After sitting in the study for a while, Lin Ji felt bored.
Looking at the mountain of eucalyptus scrolls on the desk, after thinking about it, he asked the yamen servant to call Geng Mu.
Geng Mu came soon.
"Sir, what do you have to order?"
Lin Ji patted the eucalyptus scrolls on the table and said, "Please come up with an explanation for each of these eucalyptus scrolls, and I will look at them later when I come back."
Geng Mu was stunned.
"Sir, many of these prisoners have not returned yet. Many of them were also caused by evil spirits, which is even more troublesome..."
"Those who know the prisoner, even if he has not yet been released, will be given a result according to the law. As for those who are evil or have no clue, leave them alone for the time being."
Lin Ji said: "First, subdue the sect families in Weizhou, so that it will be easier for the people below to go out on errands."
Geng Mu immediately understood what Lin Ji meant.
Deal with man-made disasters first, then deal with evil spirits.
"I'll do it right away." Geng Mu responded, picked up the eucalyptus roll on the table and prepared to leave.
But just after taking two steps, Lin Ji suddenly reached out and held his shoulder.
"Just deal with it in this study."
"Sir, this is against the rules..."
"I follow the rules of the Weizhou government office. Just go about your errands with peace of mind and don't worry about anything else." Lin Ji said with a smile, "I see there are some empty rooms around the study. I will clear one out when the time comes. You will take care of the matter, and I will only make the decision."
Upon hearing this, Geng Mu immediately became energetic.
This is a sign that the town official wants to reuse him.
The Weizhou Supervisory Office has been exhausted for a long time. Geng Mu was not taken seriously when Tian Guosheng was there. Later, Tian Guosheng was done with it. After Ziqing came to power, she was just going through the motions and naturally did not care about the characters in the Weizhou government office.
Now there is finally a town official who wants to show off his talents, and he seems to take himself seriously.
For a moment, Geng Mu felt a bit proud for no reason.
"Thank you for the promotion, sir. All subordinates will follow your orders."
"Okay, I have to go to the prison, you can go ahead and do your work."
Lin Ji was quite satisfied with Geng Mu's attitude. He recalled that when he was in the capital, the documents given to him by the Commander-in-Chief became more and more lazy. In comparison, this Commander-in-Chief Geng was more obedient.
This is a good thing and you can't treat him badly in the future.
After leaving the study, Lin Ji quickly arrived at the prison of the government office.
As soon as he entered the prison, he heard two weak screams coming one after another, mixed with the dark curses of the prison guard and some barking dogs.
Lin Ji suddenly became a little interested. He didn't like this kind of scene, he just liked to join in the fun.
Soon, Lin Ji followed the direction of the sound and arrived at the execution room of the prison.
At this moment, Huang Chengjie and his son had been stripped naked and tied to the tiger bench. Both of them were covered in blood, and it was impossible to tell whether they were wounds. Both of them were dying, and even their painful wails seemed weak.
"Sir, you are here." When the cell leader saw Lin Ji, he quickly put down the torture instrument in his hand and bowed in salute.
Lin Ji nodded slightly in response. After scanning the cell head, his eyes fell on a big black dog in the corner of the torture room.
The big black dog looked quite ferocious, with its teeth grinning and a basin of rotten meat in front of it.
Seeing this scene, Lin Ji couldn't help but look at the cell leader again and asked: "Did you really do what I said?"
When the cell leader heard this, he was a little confused.
"My subordinates will naturally obey your orders... Sir, please rest assured that the things I picked on that boy were all places that are not harmful to his life, so they are just superficial injuries."
Hearing this, Lin Ji twitched the corner of his mouth, it was difficult to say that what he said before was just to scare people, and he was thinking of how to be cruel.
But since the prison boss complied, there was nothing wrong with it.
Anyway, he was going to be beheaded tomorrow, so seeing more tricks before he died would give him some knowledge.
Thinking of this, Lin Ji looked at Huang Xiong again.
After noticing Lin Ji's gaze, Huang Xiong was so horrified that he didn't know where he got the strength. He was still dying just now, but now he started struggling violently, making the chair under him creak.
Lin Ji grinned.
"Boy, are you satisfied with my useless methods?"
"You...don't come here! Don't look at me, get out! Get out!" Huang Xiong suddenly shouted heartbreakingly, as if Lin Ji was extremely terrifying in his eyes.
Seeing this, Lin Ji smiled with satisfaction.
He may not be said to have a very small mind, but at least he is a man who will retaliate for his anger.
Letting a junior from the Huang family point his nose in an arrogant and domineering manner cannot be easily let go.
"This kid seems to have some strength. Prison boss, your methods are not very good." Lin Ji said angrily.
"Sir, this subordinate is not doing his job well!" Upon hearing this, the cell leader quickly knelt down on the ground, "Please rest assured, my lord, I still have some means that I haven't used yet. I will give this guy a big job later."
Hearing this, Lin Ji smiled and motioned for the prison chief to get up.
"I don't mean to blame you. You don't have to be frightened."
Then Lin Ji ignored the cell leader.
After spending nearly ten years in Jian Tiansi, Lin Ji was not familiar with anything else, but Lin Ji was not aware of the small tricks in the officialdom.
With his strange words just now, after he leaves, Huang Xiong will have to suffer again, and the prison boss will never let him go.
Lin Ji soon came to Huang Chengjie.
Compared to his son, Huang Chengjie is obviously much tougher.
Seeing Lin Ji step forward, he raised his head and breathed heavily.
"Ahem... Lin, if I, Huang Chengjie, survive this catastrophe, I swear to fight you till death."
"Well, what Brother Huang said is so categorical that Lin will not doubt it." Lin Ji changed his name to Brother Huang at this time.
Huang Chengjie could naturally hear the teasing in Lin Ji's tone, but he didn't care.
"If my father knew that you dared to torture me like this, he would never let you go!"
"Your father just left." Lin Ji shrugged.
Didn't he come to the prison just to persuade Huang Zhong, who had entered the Taoist realm, to return without success?
The matter is neither big nor small, but it is still a source of conversation, and with the source of conversation, it is natural to come to the prison to find some fun... No, it is not to have fun, but to talk and share with others.
"My dad just left?!" Huang Chengjie's eyes widened suddenly.
The smile on Lin Ji's face became even brighter.
"Huang Daoyou is reasonable and has left at this time."
"How is that possible? How could my father not save me when he came? How dare you be worthy of my father's peers?"
Huang Chengjie spoke very fast, but unfortunately, the more he spoke, the less confident he became.
Especially looking at Lin Ji's half-smiling look, his voice was as small as a mosquito at the last moment.
