Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Seven Killing the Innocent
Victoria Government Office.
After Lin Ji returned here, he went directly into the study and told the government officials not to allow anyone to disturb him.
After closing the door to the study and making sure no one was around, he relaxed.
Sitting on the chair behind the desk, he closed his eyes. In just an instant, he was already in his soul.
At this moment, the Yuan Shen in his mind opened his eyes, his mind moved slightly, and he noticed that there were more gold and black threads lingering around the Yuan Shen.
The number was exactly the same as the number of heads chopped off on the execution ground.
He fiddled with a golden thread, and countless scenes flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern.
It was probably the evil obstacle created by the original owner of this golden thread during his lifetime.
After watching for a moment, Lin Ji lost interest. He just knew that he had killed someone who deserved to die, otherwise he would not have the golden thread of merit.
As for the cause and effect represented by the merits, Lin Ji had seen so many tragic things that he only felt a little sympathy in his heart, which was fleeting.
Watching too much of this kind of thing can easily lead to depression.
Finally, Lin Ji's eyes fell on Yuanshen, the only new black line.
The black line is sin.
"Have you killed the wrong person?" Lin Ji raised his eyebrows slightly.
After fiddling with the black thread, Lin Ji saw a new picture.
It was a story about a young man who was deceived into joining a sect, and after half his life, he finally made some small gains, but in the end he was framed by his fellow sect.
There was nothing praiseworthy, and Lin Ji had no regrets in his heart. After all, he was not the judge.
But I still felt somewhat apologetic in my heart.
He did remember the name.
The sect is a small sect in Victoria, called Jinshamen.
The victim who was accidentally killed by Lin Ji was named Chen Feng.
That's all.
"Killing a good man by mistake... This matter is not worthy of my special effort to vindicate him. Let's regard it as a debt owed. If I meet an old acquaintance of this person in the future, I can just make up for it. If I meet a disciple of Jinshamen
, Besides, it’s not too late to raise troops to investigate the crime.”
Putting aside these trivial matters for the time being, Lin Ji began to carefully appreciate the changes that these new black and gold threads had brought to him.
After a long time, his physical body in the study room opened his eyes, and a light flashed in his eyes.
"This time, dozens of criminals who deserved their crimes have been executed, and the golden thread of merit added is only a few... If calculated by a single number, even if such an execution is carried out once a month, it will probably take three to five years to reach the Taoist realm.
."
You can enter Taoism in three to five years.
If this happened to other Japanese monks, they would probably laugh out of their dreams.
But Lin Ji was still a little dissatisfied.
"I think it's because although these people do evil, it's just a small evil. If there are evil Buddhas or the existence of Weizhou Alaya Consciousness coming a few more times, I think my path to Taoism should be much smoother... No."
As soon as this thought came up, Lin Ji frowned and shook his head secretly.
"This idea is to put my own cultivation above the suffering of others. If I really place my hope on this, then what is the difference between me and the criminals who were beheaded by me."
Lin Ji vaguely felt that his character seemed to have begun to change slightly.
Maybe it's because I have been in this world of strife for a long time, and now that I am in a high and powerful position, my temperament has become much more indifferent.
Maybe he has found his way to Taoism.
He seemed to be starting to become a little arrogant and indifferent to all living beings.
"Is it because of the path of cause and effect?" Lin Ji quickly found the reason.
A monk who enters the Dao will be more or less affected by the Dao he enters, resulting in large or small changes.
"In my path of cause and effect, good and evil are all caused by cause and effect, but precisely because of this, I have become indifferent to good and evil."
Thinking of this, Lin Ji chose to temporarily put aside studying the golden thread of merit and the black thread of sin.
He held his breath and concentrated, reciting a heart-clearing mantra he had learned from Master Xingchi in the past, and soon fell into samadhi again.
...
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, a month flew by.
During this month, the trivial affairs of the Weizhou government office finally became in order, and the people who handled errands below also had a backbone and began to perform their respective duties.
Among them, Lin Ji's role was just like the Dinghai Shenzhen who was in charge of the government office, and the rest of the matters were handled by Geng Mu himself.
Compared with the two clerks who served as Zhang Ling in Beijing, Lin Ji felt that Geng Zhang Ling was much easier to use.
First of all, Geng Mu is a monk, and it is not a problem to work around the clock for three to five days.
Secondly, he already has experience, and now that Lin Ji endorses him, he can handle many things more easily.
Sometimes Lin Ji even felt that Geng Mu was the town official, and he was just a thug in the government office, helping to control the situation.
Except for the trivial matters of the government office.
After Lin Ji beheaded Huang Chengjie and his son, and the Huang family acquiesced to this without any expression, the sects of the aristocratic families in Victoria finally realized that the Huang family had given in.
And it was after Huang Zhong personally visited the government office.
Thinking that even a veteran Taoist monk like Huang Zhong chose to endure, the various forces in Weizhou naturally did not dare to continue to ignore Jian Tiansi.
It doesn't take a month, just half a month.
There were more than 200,000 yuan crystals in the treasure house of the Weizhou government office.
In addition, there are various kinds of heavenly, material and earthly treasures, and even dozens of various kinds of treasures in total.
This is already an incomparable fortune, even for the Supervisory Office.
In addition to these, there are also more than a dozen prisoners in the prison of the government office.
These are all criminals, murderers, etc. that various forces call them. When they were delivered, they all claimed that they were at the disposal of Mr. Lin, regardless of life or death. Such nonsense.
In this regard, Lin Ji only took a trip to the prison and realized that these people were just scapegoats.
However, Lin Ji did not pursue the investigation further.
He was willing to be merciful and merciful, and he had already paid his respects to the other person, so he no longer had the need to be aggressive.
It's just that these unlucky scapegoats were either killed or released. In the end, Lin Ji just ordered them to be locked up without torture or servicing them.
One day in the future, we will just find a reason to let them go.
All in all, after taking office in Victoria for more than a month, the current Victoria Supervisor has a completely new look, and finally has some dignity that it deserves.
...
In the government office, in the study.
Geng Mu ordered his men to collect the stack of eucalyptus scrolls and put them in the warehouse, and then bowed to Lin Ji.
"Master Lin."
"Have all the matters regarding the sect family been dealt with?" Lin Ji asked.
"I dare not say that it is perfect, and I dare not say that evil must be punished. But the hundreds of cases that have been piled up finally have an explanation."
"That's enough. Don't bully others too much. If they give in, let them go," Lin Ji said.
We can't really offend all the monks in Weizhou, otherwise in the future the people below will go to various places on errands, and I'm afraid there will be all kinds of trouble.
"I understand." Geng Mu responded, and then said, "The next step is the evil eucalyptus."
