In the third year of Shengyuan, it was the fourth day of the fifth lunar month.
The sky is still clear.
Lin Ji's carriage slowly passed through the city gate and entered the Jade City.
Gao Ling is still somewhat famous in Jade City, so people who see him often point and wonder who is sitting in the carriage, so that Gao Ling, the chief constable, can lead the horse for him.
Lin Ji turned a deaf ear to these discussions.
Gao Ling's face looked a bit worried.
He also ignored the discussion, but looked back from time to time to look at Huang Xiong who was placed with the pots and pans behind the carriage.
"Sir, have you really thought about it? If you offend the Huang family as soon as you come here, I'm afraid things won't be easy to handle later on."
Lin Ji looked at Gao Ling in surprise.
"You said you were so angry last night. I still thought you were jealous of evil and would kill these criminals quickly. Why did you change your tune now?"
"Well, your Excellency is right, but after all, you have just taken office, and you are not familiar with the place. Even if the new official takes office, I am afraid that if the fire burns too big, I won't be able to stop it."
Hearing this, Lin Ji shook his head slightly.
After all, Gao Ling was only the chief arrester of the Fourth Realm, so he naturally didn't know where Lin Ji's confidence lay.
Now Lin Ji has found the way to enter the Tao, and has half a foot in the realm of entering the Tao.
In addition, his identity is backed by Jian Tiansi, and he is the town official of Weizhou.
The Huang family's Taoist monks would never dare to take action against him, otherwise, the Huang family would bear the price of destruction, which any aristocratic family could bear.
But if he enters the Tao and does not take any action, he will not be afraid of anyone in Victoria.
In this case, it is better to be more public and make things that were originally cumbersome and troublesome become simpler.
However, Lin Ji did not explain this to Gao Ling. Instead, he asked, "Speaking of which, how is my brother's cultivation going?"
Speaking of his apprentice, Gao Ling could only put aside his worries temporarily.
"Sir, that boy Lin Chun is extremely talented and has already perfected his body. However, he is still too young. My subordinates think that we should suppress him for two years and let him recuperate... What do you think, sir?"
"You are his master, you can make up your own mind." Lin Ji didn't say much.
While he was talking, the carriage had already arrived at the entrance of Yucheng Mansion Yamen.
Lin Ji got out of the car, looked at the familiar Yamen, and sighed slightly.
The last time he came here, he was still in the fifth realm, and he was still helping Tian Guosheng, the then Weizhou town official.
Soon, under the leadership of Gao Ling, Lin Ji and his party arrived at the backyard of the government office.
"This is where Master Tian and Master Zi Qing lived before. Master Lin, do you live here or in the Lin Mansion?"
"Gene Era"
"I'll live in the government office."
Lin Ji looked at the surrounding environment and nodded with satisfaction.
There is nothing extraordinary about the house in the backyard of the government office, but it is just a little more spacious.
After all, it is for the town officials to live, and everything they need is available. If you don't have anything, just ask, and it will be available soon.
Nothing to fault.
"Han Li, go buy a house in the city and live in it. Take A Bao with you too. From now on, you can go wherever you like, and remember not to cause any trouble for me." Lin Ji said.
Han Li responded, this was already agreed upon.
Abao had no objection either.
Lin Ji looked at Gao Ling again.
"Where are the things left by Master Zi Qing?"
"I've sent someone to pick it up. It's in the government warehouse."
While he was talking, a demon hunter came closer with a wooden box in his hands.
"Master Lin."
Lin Ji took the wooden box and thanked him.
Then he opened the wooden box, and ten tokens were placed in the box, all of which represented the Yuxing Tokens of the fifth-grade Yuxing Official.
Lin Ji casually took out a Wandering Star Token, and then took out his own Zhenzi Token. His mind moved slightly and he activated his spiritual power at the same time.
In the blink of an eye, the Star Token in his hand flashed slightly, and then returned to its original state.
After doing all this, he threw the Youxing Token to Han Li.
"You know how to use it?"
"I know, I know." Han Li nodded repeatedly.
It was only after Lin Ji got the Zhenzi Order that he found out that Supervisor Tiansi's orders had to go down one level at a time.
His method just now was to share the luck of the Weizhou Supervisor Tiansi on the Youxing Order.
Only in this way can this Youxing Token be considered useful, otherwise it would be just an ordinary token.
The authority for the third-grade town word order can only be issued to the Youxing order. The fourth-grade palm order can only be granted by the general office Fang Yunshan.
After sending Han Li away, Lin Ji said to Lianyu: "You live in the government office on weekdays. I guess there aren't many chores for you to do. You can just walk around in the city if you have nothing to do... Remember to practice Don’t fall behind.”
"Thank you, sir."
"Find yourself a room to stay."
Lianyu responded and went to the most remote side room in the courtyard.
"You go too." Lin Ji let go of his arms and let Aling fall to the ground.
Aling transformed into a human form and went to stay in the wing next to Lianyu.
Then, Lin Ji looked at the flower bed in the yard. Just now, there were two new clusters of new shoots in the flower bed.
Knowing that Green and Zi were following him, he ignored them.
After arranging the trivial matters, Lin Ji quickly brought Gao Ling to the meeting hall.
He sat down on the main seat without ceremony.
"Captain Gao, how many stars and commanders are serving in the Weizhou government office?" Lin Ji asked.
"There are nine in total, two captains and seven stars... Counting Master Han, there should be eight stars, but they usually don't do anything." Gao Ling replied.
Lin Ji ignored You Xingguan for the time being.
"Both commanders are day-traveling monks?"
"Lord Geng Mu is a day traveling monk, and Lord Chu Jin is a late night traveling monk."
"All in the city?"
"Master Geng is here."
"Call him to meet me and pass on my orders."
Lin Ji thought for a moment.
"The headcatchers in every county in Victoria, and the headcatchers in Jade City are under your control, so the news of my taking office will be passed down to you."
"Let the commanders and Youxing who are on errands in the government office come to see me first after they return to Jade City."
At this point, Lin Ji paused.
"I'll remember it, sir. Do you have any other instructions?" Gao Ling asked when he saw Lin Ji hesitated to speak.
Lin Ji asked curiously: "Speaking of which, where were people beheading people in Jade City in the past?"
Gao Ling felt a chill in his heart, knowing that it was Huang Xiong's turn.
"Caishikou."
"Why are they all at Caishikou?" Lin Ji laughed dumbly. It seemed to be the same everywhere.
The purpose of beheading is to shock. Naturally, people have to watch in order for the shock effect to be sufficient.
The most lively thing in the city is the vegetable market, where people come and go.
"Go and post a notice announcing Huang Xiong's crime, and then three days later, I will kill him personally at Caishikou! Remember to sharpen the tiger head guillotine in the Yamen!"
Gao Lingxin said that it was indeed the case.
"Sir, do you really want to kill me?"
Although Huang Xiong was captured by Gao Ling, the most he could do was arrest him. He never thought about beheading him.
"Behead! I said I was going to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, so I won't let it go." Lin Ji looked slightly cold, "Is three days enough to spread the news back to the Huang family?"
"enough."
Lin Ji nodded.
"Go ahead."
"I'll take my leave."
Shortly after Gao Ling left, the voice of a government official sounded outside the meeting hall.
"Sir, Geng Zhang ordered me to see you."
"Let him in."
