After getting Lin Ji's promise, Lu Zhaoer turned around and left.
But when he was going out, he stopped again, waved behind Lin Ji's back, and then disappeared.
As if running away.
Seeing her back disappear from sight, Lin Ji subconsciously sat down again.
He has never been a stupid person, and of course he can feel Lu Zhaoer's vague friendship.
Maybe it's not friendship, but sympathy between colleagues and friends.
But that reluctance is not a lie.
Logically speaking, Lu Zhaoer is not a superficial person. She comes from a wealthy family, and her mother is a royal princess. What kind of things have she not seen since she was a child?
She is not a young lady in a purdah. She has been a star for several years, traveled to too many places, handled too many cases, and met too many people.
She shouldn't be so easily moved.
"Oh, I am so out of tune with this world." Lin Ji's face showed a little self-mockery.
Maybe it was because she had seen so much filth and filth that she was greatly touched when she met Lin Ji, an ordinary person who did his duty most of the time, fished occasionally, and had an unyielding conscience.
Lin Ji temporarily suppressed the fluttering in his heart.
Because of the huge difference in identity, or the unknown reason of his own life and death, in short, he has no time or mood to think about these things now.
Picked up the luggage and walked out of the small courtyard.
Standing at the entrance of the small courtyard, looking at the peach tree that had already produced fruit, he was silent for a moment.
I was thinking about what unfinished business there was in the capital.
After a moment, he burst into laughter.
"I'm just a passerby in the capital. I don't have any unfinished business."
"My life is still important. I don't want to come to this capital anymore."
Thinking of this, Lin Ji closed the door of the small courtyard, and walked towards the south with a smile on his face that he didn't know was fake.
…
Supervisor Tiansi, the general office.
However, Fang Yunshan's beard and hair have already turned mostly gray after being temporarily in charge of Tiansi for a few days.
It didn't matter if he didn't sit in this position. Only when he actually sat in this position did he know what it was to be overwhelmed by the mountain.
In the study, Zheng Lixin was holding a volume of paperwork and reporting meticulously.
"Master Fang, after the incident at the Demon Suppression Tower, documents from town officials from all over the world have been handed in."
Zheng Lixin stood very straight, his eyes always fixed on the document in his hand, and his face looked pale and lacked blood.
Looking at this colleague, Fang Yunshan sighed.
Although Zheng Lixin is only a clerk, he was originally Gao Qunshu's deputy. In this Supervisory Office, his words are almost indistinguishable from Gao Qunshu's.
In the past, even Youtianguan like Fang Yunshan would treat Zheng Lixin with great courtesy.
Now suddenly seeing such a person standing respectfully in front of him, Fang Yunshan felt like he was on pins and needles.
Some seats are not as easy to sit as they look.
"Master Zheng, sit down and talk."
"The etiquette cannot be discarded." Zheng Lixin seemed very stubborn.
Fang Yunshan knew that perhaps Gao Qunshu's actions had hit him too hard. Although Zheng Lixin was upright in the past, he still had some humanity.
Not as stubborn as he is now.
Seeing that the persuasion was useless, Fang Yunshan could only wave his hand.
"You...forget it, just say it!"
Zheng Lixin nodded.
"Since the incident at the Demon Suppression Tower, chaos has spread across all the nine states in the world. Lord Gao...the news that Gao Qunshu has betrayed Jian Tiansi has been spread."
Hearing this, Fang Yunshan rubbed his eyebrows.
"It was a matter of time."
"Only Jingzhou and Liangzhou are relatively stable."
"Only these two states are safe? What about the rest?" Fang Yunshan's voice suddenly rose in pitch.
This news is too bad.
Zheng Lixin still looked expressionless.
"With Taiyi Sect in Xiangzhou, Supervisor Tiansi is already weak. Now the news from there is that the sect's power is quite blatant."
"As long as there are no evil spirits causing trouble, I don't care." Fang Yunshan shook his head slightly.
This time is not the key to the court's control, the stability of the situation is everything.
Everything can be planned slowly, but if the world becomes chaotic, that will be real trouble.
Zheng Lixin continued: "Victoria is in the west, where Jinshan Temple is located. The situation is similar to Xiangzhou."
"In the far west of Qingzhou and Yanzhou, demons are dancing wildly, and the Supervisor of Heaven is useless."
"The southernmost part of Yangzhou is beyond the reach of the imperial court. The documents say that the weather is good, the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful, but there are aristocratic families entrenched there, so the documents cannot be trusted."
"On the coast of Xuzhou, there are overflowing demon clans in the sea, causing the most evil disasters. However, because of this, many Youxing Guan Slaying Officers were sent, so the situation can be stabilized, but the situation is not ideal."
"There are imperial troops stationed in Yunzhou, and because of the harsh climate, only the barbarians in the north need attention. Other than that, there are no changes."
After hearing these words, Fang Yunshan's frown deepened.
"So, the imperial court can only control Jingzhou and Liangzhou? The rest of the places have their own troubles?"
"exactly."
"Is this still Da Qin?" Fang Yunshan couldn't help but ask.
Zheng Lixin remained silent.
This is unacceptable and taboo.
Fang Yunshan didn't expect Zheng Lixin to answer anything.
"Master Zheng, please go back first."
After Zheng Lixin saluted, he left silently.
Not long after Zheng Lixin left, a slovenly Taoist priest quietly walked out of the room behind the study.
It is Taoist Tianji.
Fang Yunshan looked at Master Tianji. After his expression changed several times, he finally just let out a long sigh of relief.
"I saw you coming out from behind a few times before, and I always felt like you were plotting something with Gao Qunshu."
"What now?" Tianji asked with a smile.
Fang Yunshan helplessly held his forehead.
"Now I know that you came to Jian Tiansi just to watch the fun! It is also now that I know that the small room behind the study was specially set up by Gao Qunshu for you."
"Hahaha, only the troubles in Supervisor Tiansi are the most interesting." Tianji smiled rather proudly.
"The Taoist priest has profound teachings, but he also takes pleasure in others' misfortunes?"
"Pindao is just a common person. He only loves food, bragging, and watching the fun."
Hearing this, given Fang Yunshan's temperament, he was almost furious.
He took a deep look at Taoist Tianji, especially the slightly smiling expression on his face for a long time, and then asked: "The excitement is never in vain. With the current situation in Kyushu in the Central Plains, what do you think the Taoist should do?" How to solve?"
"No solution."
"No solution?!" Fang Yunshan's voice suddenly rose in pitch.
It would be fine if others said so, but if Tianji said so, he would not dare to miss it.
Tianji nodded slightly.
"Have you finished being the Demon Suppressing Tower? When you went to see Emperor Pei in the palace, what did he say?"
Fang Yunshan was stunned.
"Same as in the past, capture the evil spirits, throw them into the Demon Suppression Tower to suppress them, and bring peace to the troubled times..."
Speaking of this, Fang Yunshan came to his senses.
The smile on Tianji's face grew wider.
"That's all in the past. In today's troubled times, we still don't kill the evil spirits if we can catch them. Isn't this strange rule?"
Fang Yunshan's expression became much more serious.
"Taoist Priest, the Demon Suppression Tower..."
"It sounds nice to use evil Buddha treasures to suppress the fate of the country."
"The national destiny of the Great Qin Dynasty is built on the Nine Provinces Dragon Vein. How can the Nine Provinces Dragon Vein be suppressed by a mere evil Buddha treasure?"
"Is there anything famous here?" Fang Yunshan asked quickly.
"He's very famous!"
"Master, please elaborate."
"The secret must not be revealed."
Upon hearing this, the pen in Fang Yunshan's hand suddenly broke in half.
He suddenly had a strong urge to kill Taoist Tianji on the spot.
