Xiangxi is not as good as inland, let alone Jiangnan. Life here is not easy. You can see many people with yellow faces and thin muscles along the way.
The roads are becoming more and more bumpy.
Even if it's close to Huaizhou, it's not much better.
At this moment, a city appeared in front of him.
Ji Xiaofeng said: "Sir, the city of Huaizhou is ahead."
Lin Bai opened the car curtain and nodded.
At the outer gate of the city, there were many pedestrians and business travelers coming and going. These people were dressed very strangely, wearing colorful clothes. Let’s not talk about whether they are good or not, the colors are really bright.
Chaiyue looked amazed.
Although this girl is not traveling far away for the first time, it is her first time in the southwest.
The talented man said that this was nothing. He had traveled to Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan in his previous life. It was drizzle.
"Bring people here!"
Ji Xiaofeng responded and quickly brought the thin black Taoist priest over.
Along the way, Lin Bai did not treat this guy badly. After all, he was playing the role of a corrupt official who wanted to traffic Tianzhu hemp.
"We're already here, lead the way!"
The thin black Taoist priest was a little suspicious, maybe not sure what Lin Bai wanted to do.
But when he arrived in Huaizhou, he really wasn't afraid anymore.
Looking a little arrogant, he said: "Sure! Then come along!"
The guy said this and led the way.
Lin Bai was afraid of making too much noise, so after capturing the black and thin Taoist priest, he had already asked the accompanying soldiers to delay him.
There were only a dozen people following him at the moment, but the battle was still huge.
The group of people followed the thin black Taoist priest into the city, and then came to an inn. The black thin Taoist priest asked a few people to wait while he went to report.
Lin Bai agreed.
The things are still here, don't worry about the other party running away.
Moreover, it was just a little minion, and he ran away.
Yan Gang checked the situation around the inn and said with some worry: "Uncle, the southwest is in chaos. After all, it's not your own territory, and it's just a Taoist priest. Otherwise..."
Lin Bai shook his head, "Just because he is just a Taoist priest, he can get a lot of Tianzhu Hemp. You can imagine how bad the situation here is."
When he came, Lao Yan said that His Majesty had already been eyeing this place.
He also said that the investigation was almost complete.
Lao Yan would definitely not lie to his uncle, but this was not the case, so it could only be that the news returned to the court was untrue.
The news is all false, so the real situation is self-evident.
Of course, it is also possible that I just happened to encounter such a wave.
However, this probability is undoubtedly very low, and even so, it is conceivable that these people still dare to commit crimes despite the strict investigation from above.
This time Lao Zhu arranged many tasks, including checking Tianzhu hemp, rectifying the toast, and eradicating the new year's goods.
Each one is more difficult than the other.
In comparison, it is easier to check Tianzhu hemp.
After all, I came here and got married when I got back. It was hard to come back empty-handed, so the talented man decided to settle the Tianzhu Hemp matter, which would be worthy of Lao Zhu.
As for rectifying the toast and eradicating the new year's goods, haha!
Just let it happen!
At this time, a Feilong guard came in and said a few words in Ji Xiaofeng's ear.
"Sir, there is news. The Taoist priest first went to find a rogue, and then the two of them went to find the brother-in-law of the prefect of Huaizhou. He is already on his way here."
When the Taoist priest left just now, the Feilong Guards were already keeping an eye on him.
Yan Gang said: "Is it really related to the prefect of Huaizhou?"
Lin Bai smiled and said: "That's not necessarily the case, maybe he is acting in the name of the prefect of Huaizhou!"
Soon, the thin black Taoist priest came back, accompanied by a man with a scar and some seemingly unruly ruffians.
Among these scoundrels, there was one who was exceptionally fair and shrewd in his eyes.
interesting!
Is this the brother-in-law of the prefect of Huaizhou?
He didn't show up directly, but mingled with the gangsters? So alert?
As soon as the scarred man entered the inn, he sat down opposite Lin Bai with a stern look on his face, "Is it you who robbed me of my goods?"
"Be bold!"
Yan Gang was furious.
Lin Bai signaled to stop him and said with a smile: "Is this the so-called big shot?"
The scarred man's eyes widened and he said coldly: "Young boy, stop pretending to me. In Huaizhou, I don't care where you come from. If you dare to touch my goods, believe it or not, I will make your brain bloom?"
"Then let's drive!"
After the words fell, Lin Bai grabbed the other party's head and slammed it on the table.
The scarred man never thought that Lin Bai would dare to take action, and so suddenly, with so much strength, that he could not resist at all.
He was knocked dizzy immediately.
All the rogues were stunned.
When they reacted, Yan Gang and others were already standing in front of them, and the scarred man's head was already blooming and blood was flowing.
"Son of a bitch!"
He roared angrily and wanted to resist, but unfortunately, he couldn't move at all in Lin Bai's hands.
Although the talented man fished every day, he was supervised by Zhui Yue, so he couldn't escape from taking medicinal baths every day. Although his progress was not as good as that of Zhui Yue, it was still a small improvement.
At least it's more than enough to deal with a gangster.
The thin black Taoist priest also panicked at this moment and shouted: "You...what do you want to do?"
Lin Bai grinned, "Isn't what I said clear enough? If someone with weight comes, I might be able to cooperate with him, but is such a waste worthy of cooperating with me?"
"Go away! Your goods belong to me."
The skinny black Taoist priest's eyelids twitched. This is a gangster attack!
And he eats so confidently, is he really an official?
All the gangsters were angry and seemed about to start a fight. After all, it was their own territory and they were being ripped off. How could they bear this?
But at this time, the fair-skinned man came out and said, "Your Majesty, what a trick!"
His eyes were deep, and then he asked again, "I wonder where your Excellency is an official?"
Lin Bai said casually: "Kyoto!"
"What is the official position?"
"Doctor Tobe."
The fair-skinned man narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "That's a civil servant, so it's not like your Excellency to take action at all."
Lin Bai did not answer, but asked: "Then what do you think I look like?"
The fair-skinned man thought thoughtfully and said, "I think you don't look like an official, but rather like a prince or a prince. Even if you say you are a prince, some people will believe you."
As he spoke, he glanced at Ji Xiaofeng, Yan Gang and others intentionally or unintentionally.
All right!
Those who can follow Lin Bai are naturally good players, and all of them look extremely extraordinary. How can ordinary officials have this kind of style?
In fact, the treatment of a great talent is indeed comparable to that of a prince. The key is that he is so domineering and will take action whenever he disagrees. How can an official, especially in western Hunan, dare to be so presumptuous?
Lin Bai had a smile on his face and did not deny it. Instead, he looked like you really have a good sense.
"It's interesting, you are their leader, right?"
The fair-skinned man did not answer, but asked: "What do you want to do by going through so much trouble? Could it be that you came from Kyoto to investigate this matter?"
He looked straight at Lin Bai with deep eyes.
