After just a moment, Geng Mu returned to the study.
Behind him was Gao Ling, whose face was pale and green.
At this time, Gao Ling didn't have the heroic spirit of the past. He was groggy, his steps were shaky when he walked, and his breath was extremely weak.
"Sir." Gao Ling cupped his hands and remained silent.
Lin Ji nodded slightly in response, without saying anything casually, and just smiled at Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong couldn't laugh.
The Huang family has been raising voodoos for generations. Huang Zhong is the ancestor of the current Huang family, and he is naturally the ancestor of voodoos.
The moment he saw Gao Ling, he already understood many things.
Without Lin Ji opening his mouth, Huang Zhong suddenly made a subtle humming sound like a whimper. This sound had a strange rhythm, which was impressive.
At the same time as the humming sound sounded, Lin Ji noticed an invisible wave spreading from Huang Zhong's body, and then wrapped Gao Ling.
"Ahhh!"
Gao Ling's face suddenly changed, and his green face became a little darker.
At the same time as the screams sounded, he lost the strength to even stand, and fell to the ground, his eyes splitting in pain, and rolling all over the ground.
Just after struggling on the ground for a moment, Gao Ling's voice suddenly stopped.
He opened his mouth wide, reached into his throat with both hands, and dug hard, as if he wanted to stuff his arms into the throat.
Seeing this scene, Huang Zhong shook his head slightly, and with a flick of his finger, Gao Ling fainted, and his hands naturally dropped to his sides.
After a while, a Gu worm emerged from his throat, spread its wings and flew onto Huang Zhong's clothes. It nimbly burrowed inside and disappeared.
"Take him down. Although the heart-eating Gu has damaged his heart, luckily he was not poisoned for a long time and the damage is not serious. With Jian Tiansi's background, a fifth-grade resurrection pill is enough. "
"Commander Geng, take him down and get a fifth-grade rejuvenation pill from the treasure house for him," Lin Ji ordered.
Geng Mu responded, helped Gao Ling up, and said, "Sir, I need your handwriting to open the Yamen Treasury."
Lin Ji suddenly realized that he didn't understand many rules when he first took office.
Soon, Lin Ji wrote down the handwritten edict, took out the seal of the Weizhou town official and printed it on it, before giving it to Geng Mu.
Speaking of which, I found the official seal of the Weizhou Town Government in the study. I didn't expect to use it so soon after I got it.
After Geng Mu left, Lin Ji smiled at Huang Zhong and said, "How do you do, fellow Daoist Huang?"
Huang Zhong's face looked extremely ugly at this time, and he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.
Hearing Lin Ji's voice, he raised his head, frowned and said, "Who planted the poison on the chief catcher?"
"Your second son Huang Chengjie."
"That evil creature with no eyes!" Huang Zhong roared a bit rudely, and then asked, "Why did that evil creature trap the poison on Na Zong?"
"Forcibly breaking into the government office was blocked by Mr. Gao, so he became dissatisfied, hurt the Yamen of the government office, and even attacked Mr. Gao." Lin Ji's smile became even brighter.
He knew that Huang Zhong had given up on saving Huang Chengjie and his son.
It's not that he doesn't want to save, and it's not that he can't forcefully take action, but there is still a Huang family behind him.
But if this incident hadn't happened, Huang Zhong could still be tough if he was too soft, and the worst he could do would be to offend Lin Ji to death. Anyway, as long as the person is alive, then anything can be said.
This matter will never go on forever, and even if Lin Ji breaks through to Taoism in the future, he will not have trouble with the Huang family.
But to kill the chief arrester of Jian Tiansi for no reason is an absolute capital crime, and there is no room for mediation.
After hearing Lin Ji's explanation, Huang Zhong sighed, and his originally upright figure seemed to be hunched over.
He was silent for a long time, and finally raised his head to look at Lin Ji, but said with a bitter smile: "You are going to kill me, the Huang family, as a warning to others! Mr. Lin is so majestic. When a new official takes office, he dares to do it in the first place. My Huang family’s head is burning.”
Lin Ji said: "If we really want to talk about it, Lin and the Huang family can be considered to have some friendship..."
"I know about this, my two granddaughters." The bitterness on Huang Zhong's face dissipated a little.
Lin Ji nodded and said: "Yes...so Lin is not targeting the Huang family, but anyone."
Speaking of this, Lin Ji's tone became slightly tougher.
"Jian Tiansi has always had little contact with the sect family. On weekdays, various factions usually send their juniors to Supervisor Tiansi for training. The rest of the time, they usually ignore you... but you are going too far."
Lin Ji stood up and patted the eucalyptus scrolls stacked on the desk.
"You dare to rob the Tantric sect's heritage. Why didn't you help when the Tantric sect was destroyed?" Lin Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "That's it, but you are not greedy enough. As long as you live in villages and counties close to the Tantric sect temples, Is there any place that you have not looted? The excuse you used is that you are worried about the remaining poison of Tantric Buddhism?"
Lin Ji casually opened a eucalyptus scroll, glanced at it, and handed it to Huang Zhong.
This was almost a slap in the face, so Huang Zhong didn't look at the eucalyptus scroll at all, but closed it and pressed Lin Ji's hand on the table.
"I've heard about these things, but I didn't know that the people below were so outrageous."
"Oh, it's not just excessive. On the pretext of cleaning up the remaining poison of Tantric Buddhism, if the common people complain even half a word, their hands and feet will be cut off, or they will be killed on the spot!"
As he spoke, Lin Jiyou put the eucalyptus scroll in his hand back to its original place, feeling glad that Huang Zhong had no face to look at it.
What was recorded in the scroll was an unrelated incident. A corrupt man was arrested in a county in Victoria. Lin Ji glanced at it in a hurry when he opened it, but his movements were too smooth, and it was too smooth. I already regretted it when I left.
But these are all side effects.
Lin Ji added: "In order to develop power, we want to recruit disciples in Weizhou, that's all! But we can arrest all the children of school age. If they have talent, they will keep them. If they don't, they will drive them away regardless of life and death!"
"Hey, in your eyes, are the common people just pigs, as the Tantric Buddhism said at the beginning? Drive them when they are useful, kill them when they are useless. When you have nothing to do, you can find a thin-skinned one with tender flesh, and beat him or her teeth as a sacrifice? "
These were almost heartbreaking words, and Huang Zhong's face turned extremely ugly.
But Lin Ji became more and more enthusiastic as he talked.
"Fellow Daoist Huang, what excuse did you use when you ate children? The Alaya Consciousness has gone, could it be that you have created a new Bodhisattva?"
Huang Zhong finally couldn't sit still.
He stood up abruptly, glaring at Lin Ji with a bit of anger in his eyes.
But when he saw Lin Ji's fearless calmness, he felt a little short of breath for no reason.
"Don't think Lin is exaggerating. I'm not talking about you as a Taoist. It's just that the behavior of some people in Victoria now is just an extra layer of fig leaf compared to the tantric sect back then."
Huang Zhong shook his head and said, "Master Lin, please stop talking. I will take a look at that beastly father and son and then leave."
"No." Lin Ji simply refused.
"Why, I can't save them. Can't I even say goodbye to my children?" Huang Zhong was already on the verge of an explosion.
Lin Ji didn't care.
"If you want to see him, you can. I will carry out the execution in person at the Caishikou of Yucheng at noon tomorrow."
