Before coming, Huang Zhong had thought about many possible outcomes of this matter, and also thought that Lin Ji would bring in such and such a backer to make him cease to exist.
But he never imagined that the famous Supervisor Lin Ji would now be a figure with one foot in the door, and he himself was his backer.
Because of this, at this moment, facing Lin Ji's tough attitude, Huang Zhong felt a little helpless in his heart.
It had been a long time since he had felt helpless about something.
After looking at Lin Ji quietly for a moment, Huang Zhong finally withdrew his gaze.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, Master Lin! I have already given in. Is it possible that you won't let me see you for the last time? Do you have to have me watch my son and grandson be beheaded by you at noon tomorrow?"
"If you can't bear it, just don't go and see it. It's as simple as that." Lin Ji said expressionlessly, "Is it possible that others can enter the Jiantiansi Prison if they want to? Huang Chengjie and his son are death row prisoners, how can others see it if they want to? "
Lin Ji had a selfless and tough look on his face, but he was smiling bitterly in his heart.
As long as the old man hadn't been asked to torture the Huang family father and son before, it would be okay to let Huang Zhong take a look at it now.
But he had already offended someone. At this time, Huang Zhong went to see his son and grandson again and found that his son and grandson had been tortured into inhuman form... Lin Ji was afraid that the old man would go crazy on the spot.
After all, Lin Ji had not yet entered Taoism. Although he had crossed the threshold with one foot, he still relied on his identity as Jian Tiansi to dare to challenge Huang Zhong face to face.
So after all, I don't have enough confidence. Although I dare to offend others, I don't dare to die for doing so.
Huang Zhong naturally didn't know what Lin Ji was thinking. He only thought that Lin Ji had made it clear that he wanted to show his iron fist, so he was not going to give it even to himself, a monk who had entered Taoism.
After thinking for a moment, Huang Zhong finally sighed.
"That's all, it's the son's fault that he doesn't teach his father, and I don't have the shame to look at them."
After the words fell, Huang Zhong seemed to have aged a lot in an instant. His tall and straight spine bowed, he sighed and slightly cupped his hands to Lin Ji, then turned around and walked out of the study.
But at this moment, Lin Ji quickly stood up.
"Fellow Daoist Huang, I will send it to you."
Huang Zhong frowned slightly and looked back at Lin Ji.
"No need..."
"Huang Daoyou is a monk who has entered Taoism. How can I not send you away? If I don't send you out of the government office and let you go by yourself, the monks in Weizhou will have to say that I, the Supervisor of Tiansi, have no etiquette in the future."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ji came directly to Huang Zhong and walked toward the gate of the government office.
Seeing this, Huang Zhong's face became a little gloomy, but he finally endured it.
"Master Lin wants to use me to establish his authority, and he doesn't want me to leave secretly."
"Fellow Daoist Huang is already here, it's just a matter of walking a few more steps." When Lin Ji said this, he felt that his face seemed a little thicker.
Hearing this, Huang Zhong nodded slightly, seemingly approving Lin Ji's actions.
"In this case, the Huang family will have to rely on adults to take care of them in Victoria in the future."
"Since ancient times, there has been a saying that we help relatives but not help others. I have some connections with the Huang family. Compared with other families in Victoria, I am still close to the Huang family." Lin Ji responded with a smile.
"That's it, thank you very much." Huang Zhong's expression finally softened a little.
In fact, he could naturally tell that although Lin Ji seemed to agree to something, when he thought about it carefully, he didn't say anything.
But as long as you have this attitude, it is enough, and you will be able to say a few words in the future.
Huang Zhong guessed from Lin Ji's attitude that it was probably because the higher-ups couldn't stand the chaos in Victoria that they let Lin Ji come here.
He did not come to Victoria simply to serve as a town official. He came to Victoria with orders from above to rectify various forces in Victoria.
Otherwise, why would he be so tough when facing the monks?
But Weizhou is not like other places in the Central Plains, and there is no force like Taiyi Sect that dares to challenge Supervisor Tiansi.
After the tantric sect was wiped out, there were only three or two big cats and kittens left in Victoria.
Once he figured this out, Huang Zhong felt that it was better for him to be killed as a warning to others than to have the big stick fall on his head in the future.
Maybe Lin Ji chose the Huang family to be the first to deal with it because of this idea. It seemed like he was going to deal with the Huang family, but it actually made the Huang family feel at ease.
In the final analysis, the death of a young son and a grandson is not a big deal, as long as it does not endanger the entire Huang family.
After all, he is just a junior, and a junior whose talent is not outstanding.
At the same time, he also knew to some extent some of the usual virtues of the second father and his son.
It’s not good to offend anyone but the newly appointed Jiantiansi Town official? I can only blame myself for it.
When the face factor is put aside, this matter does not seem so unacceptable.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the gate of the government office.
Lin Ji cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist Huang, walk slowly."
"Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your hard work. I'll take my leave." Huang Zhong saluted and left on foot.
Seeing Huang Zhong's figure walking away, Lin Ji seemed to be watching him off, but there was some doubt in his heart.
"Old man, why did you thank me for killing your son? Could it be that the green on his head means that the son is not his biological son?"
Lin Ji naturally didn't know that just a few steps had caused Huang Zhong to think about many things.
He had a bullshit mission because it was just a vacancy for the Weizhou town government official, and Fang Yunshan didn't want him to stay in the capital.
After Huang Zhong's figure disappeared completely, a smile appeared on Lin Ji's face. He glanced at the street in front of the government office, and then turned around and entered the government office.
He doesn't need to say anything or do anything. I believe that soon, the news that Huang Zhong came to the government office will spread.
When Huang Chengjie and his son are killed tomorrow, the various forces that want to come to Victoria will start to understand.
Lin Ji returned to the study, and not long after, Gao Ling came.
At this time, Gao Ling looked much better, and the strange expression on his face finally returned to normal.
After he walked into the study room, he bowed to Lin Ji to the end.
"I would like to thank Master Lin for the promotion."
"Lao Gao, you don't have to be so restrained." Lin Ji waved his hand to let Gao Ling stand up, then smiled and said, "How is it? The injuries left by the Gu insect have been healed?"
"Yes, the fifth-grade rejuvenation pill is more than enough for me, a fourth-level monk. Not only the injuries caused by the Gu worm on my heart this time, but also some of the old diseases in my body have been cured."
Lin Ji nodded.
"Yes, this way you can be more confident in your next attempt to break through to the Yuanshen realm... After Huang Chengjie and his son are beheaded tomorrow, you can temporarily step down from your post and practice with peace of mind."
"Resigning? Sir..."
"When you become a Yuanshen monk, I will give you a star."
