Baoguangfang, Baoguang Temple.
There are many pilgrims in the front yard.
Baoguang Temple is a long-established power in Huaiping City that has lasted for hundreds of years. In addition to being a place to burn incense and worship Buddha, it also sells some special elixirs and is very popular.
At this time, in the backyard, a little novice monk was walking hurriedly.
I even bumped into a few senior brothers inadvertently along the way.
Finally, after apologizing profusely, he bowed and walked into the house of an extremely senior elder.
There are still strange murals, and there are still a few cigarettes in the palace.
Under the glass dome, the sun shines down, and the old monk is sitting cross-legged.
He was wearing a cassock that was as red as blood, as if he were bathed in blood. He had a solemn look on his face, holding a jade bowl and lowering his head to sip it.
If you look carefully, you can see that the old monk's lips are bright red, and he is actually drinking blood.
Xue Shen put down the bowl in his hand, wiped the blood stains from the corners of his mouth, looked at the panicked little novice monk, and raised his eyelids slightly:
"What? Wanhua is so out of sorts, could something big happen?"
"This." The expression on Wan Huajun's face changed as he knelt on the ground, and finally whispered:
"Elder, according to reports and multiple confirmations, Junior Brother Mu Xin was beaten and murdered by unknown assailants on the long street this evening when he went out to have dinner at Lingxi Villa. No body remains."
As soon as he finished speaking, the air in the room suddenly suffocated, and the whirring air flow rolled back and forth, making the sound of birds and animals whimpering.
"What...what did you say?" an old voice sounded from above.
Wanhua raised her head and saw that the old monk had arrived in front of him at some point, leaning over and standing with his eyes staring at him, their faces almost touching.
"Elder, Junior Brother Mu Xin, is dead..."
He resisted the tremendous pressure and explained.
Bang!
Before he finished speaking, he felt a strong force coming, and his whole body flew backwards in an instant, and finally hit the wall full of paintings.
He was vomiting blood, and the air around him seemed to be falling apart, but he did not dare to say anything. He just got up and continued to kneel on the ground, as if he was very afraid of the old man in front of him.
"Dead, just like that?"
A low and hollow voice came out of the old monk's mouth.
"You spend so much money to concoct your identity, and you even waste resources at all costs to eradicate your enemies, and then you die like this?"
Wanhua didn't say anything, just knocked her head on the ground.
He naturally knew how much their faction spent on Mu Xin, that is, Jiang Jing.
Generally speaking, if you want to plant a secret agent in a big force, just having a transparent background is enough to make people take great pains, let alone a big sect like Lingtai Sect.
For example, Jiang Jing, whose apparent identity is the son of Wang Yutao, a tycoon in the literary world of Huiyin County, is created by black Buddhism by using a civet cat in exchange for a prince.
For this reason, two masters were dispatched to kill Wang Yutao. The expense alone and the major case involving the tragedy of the literary world were enough to frighten the average person.
What's more, Black Buddhism continued to be carefully cultivated during this period.
And now it seems that something will be gained soon, but...
The more Wanhua thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she became even more afraid to speak out.
"Who is the murderer?" The old monk calmed down at this time.
"A strong man more than three meters tall. His strength... the weakest is also a master of the Six Fu Realm, or even stronger. He should be a physical practitioner. He slapped off Junior Brother Mu Xin's head with just one palm, causing his heart to be broken and his body to be shattered. collapse,
He said it was to avenge his friends. "Wanhua whispered.
"It's just that as far as I know, as Junior Brother Mu Xin, he has always practiced at home and has never had any enemies..."
The bloody body didn't speak.
He naturally knew this, because he personally chose this identity, and what he wanted was to be innocent. How could he have such a ridiculous deed as murdering a whole family.
There is only one reason. Someone is deliberately committing murder. The so-called revenge for a friend is just a pretense.
His usual enemies in their lineage, and even their friends in the cult, immediately came to mind.
It's okay if I just don't think about it, but when I think about it, everyone has a motive...
"This matter must be investigated clearly. Killing must be punished with life." Finally, he slowly uttered a sentence.
It can be said that he is fully responsible for the placement of two large secret agents. If successful, he will have a lot of upper hand in the subsequent series of plans.
It’s just that after putting so much effort into it, in the end...
For a moment, the blood body felt a little weak.
"By the way, Elder, there is one more thing. There is news. When the news was handed over yesterday, Lan Xi and others disappeared. Afterwards, people were sent to the stronghold to search. No one was found. It is suspected that they are also dead." Wan Hua said quickly.
"You said Lan Xi and the others are also dead?" The bloody body came back to consciousness and frowned.
"It's very possible, otherwise no matter how big the matter is, it's impossible for him not to reply to the news. I have a guess. Could it be that person discovered the surveillance of Lan Xi and others, and then became angry and acted first, killing Mu Xin. Junior brother was beaten to death!" Wan Hua said.
"It's just that according to the informant's investigation, this person had an alibi at the time. It doesn't seem like he was the one who did it..."
"You mean, Lan Xi and the others died, and immediately after, Mu Xin also died." Xue Shen interrupted,
"In this case, what evidence do you need to talk about? Now that Jiang Jing is dead, the Lingtai Sect's plan has come to an end. Let's get rid of all the tails as soon as possible.
As for this person, you urge Roshan to deal with it as soon as possible. "
"It's just that Junior Brother Jiang Jing is dead. If we do this again, will it..."
"The people who deserve to live are dead, but the people who deserve to die are still alive. Keeping them will only be an eyesore." Xue Shen said lightly.

the other side.
After saying goodbye to Xiao Zhengyang, Lin Mo walked to his residence.
Obviously, the matter of filming the dead river scene has begun to ferment.
There were many sergeants patrolling the streets, and there were even many gang members cooperating. It could be said that the black and white teams started searching at the same time.
Along the way, there was a tall and muscular ranger wearing a black hat. He was stopped and interrogated directly. It can be said that there was a lot of movement.
He had naturally expected this, after all, killing was strictly prohibited in Huaiping City.
Moreover, the deceased was not an ordinary person, but an official student of Lingxi Academy.
What's more, it was a public killing on the street. The impact was so bad that it was destined to be put online immediately to maintain the dignity of the court. Coupled with the pressure from Lingxi Courtyard, it was impossible not to investigate carefully.
However, Lin Mo deliberately created an alibi and used all his strength to beat Jiang Jing into a pulp before leaving, which made the search difficult.
After carefully recalling it and finding that there were no omissions, Lin Mo returned home happily and disposed of the used black hats one by one, destroying the last evidence.
Although it is still not entirely certain that Baoguang Temple and the Black Buddhist people are related to Jiang Jing, a series of troubles have arisen since he beat the two of them, which is enough to explain the problem.
There is no love without reason in the world, and there is no hate without reason.
Even if Lin Mo guessed wrong, he would not regret it.
The two had a feud, and he originally planned to find time to deal with it, but now that he was being monitored and tracked, he only accelerated the process.
Next, let’s see how the other party reacts.
The fact that the other party was willing to risk offending Lingxi Villa and deal with him cruelly for Jiang Jing meant that Jiang Jing's status was somewhat special.
Now that the people are gone all of a sudden, you can either hold back and attack hard, or come directly to the door. In short, you can change from passive to active.
Of course, if you really can't hold your breath, that's for the best.
Lin Mo now works in Si Ma Fang Yamen, with Lingxi Courtyard as his back, so he can be regarded as someone above him.
What's more, there is Blue Split Whale Trading Company as a secret ally.
He doesn't mind making a big deal out of things and using his power to overwhelm others.
In his opinion, extending the timeline will only be more beneficial to him.
The practice of Arhat Ti is done step by step and steadily, and the cracking of the Blood-grinding Pill formula is also progressing at a rapid pace. It won't be long before you can try to refine a sample pill.
If the plan is good, it will mean that the realm of long-lasting immobility can be quickly broken through.
What's more, from Xiao Zhengyang, the channel for Yuan Shi has been opened.
No matter how much the price is, as long as the goods are available, everything is easy!
Lin Mo was confident that after developing the formula of the Blood-Mooning Pill, he would be able to earn enough money and obtain enough Yuan Stones to awaken the third or even fourth talent!
Then no matter what situation you encounter, you will be more confident.
He breathed a sigh of relief and stopped thinking about it.
As usual, practice Arhat posture with the use of mindless sandalwood.
By the time the incense was gone, it was already around two o'clock in the morning, but I felt no sleepiness at all, so I continued to take out the medicine book and practice and perfect the experimental plan.
Once everything is in order, you can start preparing equipment and conduct drug experiments.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo felt filled with energy.
...........
Si Ma Fang Yamen.
As a grassroots government force, almost every village in Huaiping City has its own yamen.
Outside of Central, the neighborhood yamen are equivalent to those in the county in terms of rank alone, but of course, the real power cannot be compared.
After all, although the two are at the same level, they are both under the control of a county and are in charge of hundreds of thousands or even millions of people, which is not comparable to that of a neighborhood.
But when it comes to welfare benefits, the gains gained by the neighborhood governors in the big city of Huaiping are far greater than those gained by the governors outside.
As for the inner third ring, it is even more impressive. It is directly increased by half a level. It is said that there is a grandmaster in charge.
Today at Si Ma Fang Yamen, someone from the superior happened to come to inspect, so Lin Mo ordered his meal half an hour earlier than usual.
At this time, the staff in the service hall were rarely present. No one was dozing off or eating and sleepwalking. Everyone was sitting upright, flipping through files, searching for information, and handling matters.
I have to say, at least on the surface, it looks pretty passable.
In fact, the frequency of inspections like this is not high. Generally speaking, if there are no major regulations and regulations promulgated, the monthly salary statistics will be busier.
The most recent time seemed to be when the Lingtian Reconstruction Regulations were implemented. At that time, almost half of the officials in the Si Ma Fang Yamen went to the surrounding counties, villages and towns to cooperate with the Land Survey Department to measure the land and divide the Lingtian.
Something big happened recently?
Lin Mo's heart moved, but his face was as usual, copying materials.
Time passes slowly.
About half an hour later, the door to the assembly hall finally opened.
I saw a group of middle-aged sergeants wearing luxurious lacquer armor and high-spirited manners walking past the service hall while laughing and disappearing from sight.
call.
Someone sighed softly.
Immediately afterwards, there was a series of calls.
The leader is gone.
"Brother Jie, do you know any gossip? It's not time to settle your salary yet?"
Sun Miao, who was sitting nearby, acted particularly exaggeratedly. After seeing everyone in her family going out together, she lay down on the chair, kicked off her feet, slid to the side of Liu Jie's seat, and asked in a low voice.
At this time, the rest of the people in the hall also became interested, pricked up their ears and glanced at him.
The same was true for Lin Mo, who was also a little curious.
When Liu Jie saw this, he shook his head.
"Do you really think I know everything?"
Everyone was disappointed.
"Of course, I happen to know something about this matter." Suddenly, this tall man with thick eyebrows and big eyes whetted his appetite and smiled suddenly.
He didn’t beat around the bush anymore and said directly:
"As far as I know, there have been two major events recently."
"The first thing is that recently starting from Huaiping, Quanzhou, please note Quanzhou, has launched a self-inspection action, initially named 'Dafeng', led by Feng Yi from various places, and all major yamen sent personnel to go up to the county government , go down to villages and towns, and monitor all directions.
According to reliable information, the sect disciples from the mountains in the county will also join them. "
"Are you sure about the state-wide rectification movement? I think even if that group of sect disciples joins in, I'm afraid it won't be enough to catch it, right?"
Sun Miao, who was the closest, opened her mouth and exclaimed first.
Nowadays, turmoil is raging all over the country. There is a separatist faction of the Universalist Church in the state, and there is a black Buddhist massacre of the city and annihilation of the people. I heard that there are more water bandits on the Taihuai River, which has almost shaken the foundation of people's livelihood.
Therefore, it is understandable that the so-called "Gale" plan will be implemented.
It's just that Huaizhou has a vast territory and rich resources, so it would be a bit unrealistic to conduct a thorough investigation.
"What about the second thing?" Xue Gui asked on the other side, also frowning.
Because this incident shows that I will be very busy in the future.
Liu Jie did not sell out.
"The second thing is even more outrageous. Even when I first heard about it, I couldn't believe it.
There are rumors from above that further recruitment of troops will be carried out, followed by expansion of internal staff, adjustments to official arrangements, and...
As well as expanding the proportion of officials selected for sect martial arts training, adding a new category A selection. "
"Expanding the establishment is really outrageous. It means more jobs, but there is only so much cake. And what the hell is this Category A selection?" Some people were puzzled.
“Category A selection refers to selecting powerful warriors directly from the real major sects. After assessment, if they meet certain standards, they will be awarded the official position of deputy commander,... or even commander-in-chief upon taking office.
And he still has real power..." Speaking of this, Liu Jie, a tall and rough man, couldn't help but be moved.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room took a deep breath.
Many people immediately looked at Lin Mo.
Because if there was a competition here to have the biggest backstage, he would be the one.
"This, is this really true? Doesn't anyone object and think it's too unfair?" Xue Guise said.
"Ordinary people like me, if we have no background, will be no more than deputy governor in our lifetime, or even just a rank, and most of them will have no real power. This... this... is not too ridiculous?"
As we all know, when serving in the imperial court, seniority is extremely important, and seniority ranking is extremely normal. Even the big bosses and young men with people above them are said to be gold-plated.
What kind of first-class selection is it now, to be directly selected to be the deputy commander-in-chief, or even the commander-in-chief?
Who can understand that one step spans decades of hard work for ordinary people?
Liu Jie didn't answer, just shook his head. He didn't understand either. He just gave an order. What could he do?
Soon, the room became lively again, and everyone began to express their opinions.
Some of them asked Lin Mo, but Lin Mo was sensible and didn't say much.
After all, at this time, he is very likely to have a vested interest. No matter how much he says, it may cause unnecessary jealousy. It is better to shut up and think about the prescription.
Time passed slowly.
In a blink of an eye, it's time to get off work again.
Lin Mo followed the flow of people and walked out of the Yamen.
He did not return to his residence immediately, but walked to another place.
Now everything is almost on track, but of course, before that, the last unstable factors need to be resolved.
Therefore, he made an agreement to meet Xiao Zhengyang again to resolve potential troubles in advance.
