Lin Ji was sitting in Yucheng, receiving news from people below him every day.
After the Lancheng ruins came to light, almost all the capable Weizhou forces sent people to interfere with the matter.
At present, I heard that several forces have settled down at the Lancheng ruins, and they are doing a decent job, quite a bit like occupying the mountain and becoming the king.
There is also news that the Yu family has begun negotiations with all parties. As for the specific content of the negotiations, although there is no description in the news, Lin Ji estimates that it is probably to give some benefits, clarify the interests, and then transfer the Lancheng ruins
Things like occupying.
In addition, Yu Xiao, the ancestor of the Yu family, disappeared, and Feng Zhiruo and Feng Zhiruo disappeared with him.
"I heard that these three people fought so hard that no one wanted to stop. On one side was the Taoist who was not far away from death and his strength had dropped sharply. On the other side were the two Taoists who had once joined the Tao. Now they are the only ones left with the cultivation level of Riyu.
The person...hey, it's tit for tat."
Lin Ji put down the note in his hand with a smile, touched the dove beside his hand, and fed it two grains of spirit grain.
Who would have thought that the dove would not eat, but was chirping and still flapping its wings on Lin Ji's desk.
Lin Ji frowned and said, "You took away a few yuan crystals from my pit yesterday. Are you still not satisfied? Believe it or not, I asked Aling to come?"
As soon as he heard the word "A Ling", the spirit pigeon immediately did not dare to mess around. After leaving a puddle of bird droppings on Lin Ji's desk, it flew away along the window and soon disappeared.
Looking at the bird droppings, Lin Ji remained silent, but in his heart he became somewhat curious about these miscellaneous feathered birds that he had grown up in Xiaoling Valley.
Maybe A-Ling's sense of taste is different from that of humans, and the meat of these little guys might be really sweet.
Grabbing a piece of paper and wiping away the bird droppings, Lin Ji raised his head and looked at Geng Mu opposite, who was trying to hold back his laughter.
"The Lancheng ruins have nothing to do with Jian Tiansi. There are no treasures worth coveting there, and now the red-haired god has disappeared. According to what my mother-in-law said, the red-haired god should still be occupying his body at this time.
The half-step ghost king is fighting, and I’m afraid there will be no results for a while... That’s right.”
Lin Ji asked curiously: "What is the origin of the Half-Step Ghost King? Is it a ghost from Weizhou, or does it come from somewhere else?"
"I don't know. It's difficult to find out this kind of information. I've asked the brothers below to check before, but they all have no clue." Geng Mu shook his head.
"Forget it if I don't know, it's not a big deal...Aside from the Lancheng ruins, are there any other troubles in Victoria these days?" Lin Ji asked again.
"No, since you established your authority with the Huang family, the brothers below have been running their errands much more smoothly on weekdays. In the past few days, more than a dozen prisoners were taken into prison. Most of them were old sins that have come to fruition.
"
Speaking of this matter, Geng Mu had a smile on his face: "Those prisoners are all from various sects. In the past, this kind of crime could not continue until the stage of ascertaining evidence and arresting people.
It can be suspended, and now as long as the evidence is solid, no force dares to force a bailout... But I don't know if there is a scapegoat among them."
"Definitely, but it doesn't matter. These things are difficult to avoid." Lin Ji shook his head and said, "Nothing is perfect. Although Supervisor Tiansi has to be tough, he can't be too tough, otherwise it will be counterproductive."
Geng Mu nodded and said: "There are also a few evil spirits. They are probably birds and beasts in the mountains that turned into monsters and caused harm to the people. They were also locked up and thrown into the prison... There were also a few fierce ghosts captured by You Xing. The ghosts
Let it flow."
Lin Ji was a little surprised when he heard this.
It took just a few days to catch so many evil spirits. It was really not easy.
Lin Ji also climbed up from the bottom, and naturally knew that the demon hunters, head catchers and even Youxingguan below were always difficult to capture alive when facing demons.
"It just so happens that there are a lot of Yuan Jings in the Yamen now. Just give the brothers a bonus and reward them according to their merits. You can handle this."
"I would like to thank you sir on behalf of the brothers below." Geng Mu saluted quickly.
"No need, I have also climbed up from being a demon hunter, and I know the hard work of the people below." Lin Ji waved his hand and said, "All the captured demons will be sent to the capital and imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Tower, right?"
Geng Mu nodded.
"There is such a saying. In the past, when the Tantric Sect was still there, the Supervisory Office was in name only. The General Office of Beijing understood the hard work of the Weizhou government. Therefore, if the evil spirits were caught, they would usually be punished on the spot...Now that Weizhou has brought order to the chaos,
The higher-ups sent a letter not long ago, asking them to capture the evil spirits in Victoria and send them to Beijing, just like other places."
"Is this letter still there?" Lin Ji asked casually.
"Here, I'll go get it right away..."
"No, just burn it." Lin Ji shook his head and said, "The Demon Suppression Tower has not housed the demons from Weizhou for thousands of years. It may not be used to the taste of our Weizhou. Don't go back and get into trouble again."
"This..." Geng Mu was stunned.
Lin Ji yawned, stood up and walked out of the study.
"Later, you go to the prison to verify the identity of those prisoners. They are kept by the real master, and let go of the scapegoats. These people who have been abandoned by the sect will probably not avenge their kindness to Supervisor Tian Si for the rest of their lives. Instead, they will backfire on their original values.
The sect... is just idle when it's idle, causing them some trouble."
"Sir, what happens next?"
"There is no need to mobilize troops this time. When you are done, let me know and I will go to the prison to send them on their way... As for those evil spirits, they will also be killed by then." Lin Ji said.
It's all about merit and cause, and he's just counting on getting some benefit from it.
Is there any reason to send your own merits to the Demon Suppression Tower?
Hearing Lin Ji's words, Geng Mu was a little worried.
"Sir, if the general office finds out about this matter and punishes it, what should we do?"
"It doesn't matter. If it's a letter to hold people accountable, just send one back. If you send someone... If I know the person coming, I will drink and chat with him before sending him away. If I don't know him, I won't give him any face.
Get lost."
Such a trivial matter would not cause a monk to make a trip.
Lin Ji started laughing as he spoke.
He suddenly realized the benefits of having a background and strength.
While we were talking, a yamen servant came outside the study and said he was from the Taiyi Sect and asked to see Mr. Lin.
Lin Ji asked the Yamen servant to invite the people over.
Soon, Xu Dingtian came to the study. When Geng Mu saw this, he saluted and went down to do his errands.
"Brother Lin, something happened in Victoria, and I'm going back." Xu Dingtian came to say goodbye this time.
"when are we leaving?"
"today."
"I'll leave tomorrow and take my brother with me." When he saw Xu Dingtian, Lin Ji remembered this.
"Your brother?" Xu Dingtian was stunned.
Lin Jize stood up and said, "Follow me to the Lin Mansion, and I'll tell you more about it on the way."
