Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

Chapter 137 The Monk of Baili County
After beheading the black wolf, the matter in Huangling County is far from over.

Li Fei was abolished, and there was no head arrest in Huangling County. It is absolutely impossible for Lin Ji to pat his ass and leave.

In case something happened to Huangling County during this period, if Lin Ji was not around and the head arrest was abolished, no matter what happened, the responsibility would fall on Lin Ji.

As for the matter of the county magistrate, we have to wait for the officials of Xiangzhou to make a decision.But this is a matter of the civil service system. Even if a county magistrate takes office, he has to be approved by the magistrate of Xiangzhou before he can be issued.

Therefore, Lin Ji didn't have to wait for the end of Huangling county magistrate. He only needed to wait for the new chief arrester to take office and confirm that Huangling county had a supervisor in charge, and then he could leave.

Still the same sentence, the Tiansi and the civil service system do not control each other. This has been the rule of Daqin for many years, and no one can surpass it.

So Lin Ji could abolish Li Fei without burden, but he could only report the matter to the county magistrate.

……

This wait is three days.

During these three days, Lin Ji stayed in the archives of the Huangling County Yamen, looking up news about Leiyun Temple.

Three days later, Xiangcheng sent a third-level monk named Li Xiang to serve as the head arrester in Huangling County.

After Li Xiang saw Lin Ji, he first reprimanded Li Fei for his evil deeds, and then took out the letter written by Ouyang Ke, the magistrate of Xiangzhou Town.

In the letter, Ouyang Ke clearly stated that Li Fei was just a black sheep, and asked Lin Ji not to take it to heart.

He also said that he would report this matter to the capital, and that Lin Ji's credit could not be escaped.

Seeing the letter, Lin Ji read the meaning behind Ouyang Ke's words from the whole text.

Make big things into small things, don't make use of them.

The town government official of Yizhou, a third-rank official, wrote a handwritten letter to him, a fifth-rank Youxing official, the meaning of which always needs to be pondered.

"If I didn't have Li Fei's words before, I would have been prevaricated. But now this little head arrest has to be explained by the town official himself... Heh, I want to cover it up." Lin Ji thought to himself.

In addition to explaining, this letter may also have a threatening meaning in it.

This is the case in the officialdom, even the violent organization composed of monks, the Supervisor of Tiansi, can't get rid of the cliché.

Lin Ji put away the letter, but looked up to the sky.

Ouyang Ke was able to sit on the position of the town official, so he was naturally well versed in the way of officialdom, and Lin Ji, as an official of You Xing, was certainly not a stupid person.

In a letter, nothing is said, but everything is said.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Ji smiled bitterly.

This Xiangzhou is getting farther and farther away from the capital, so the situation is getting more and more strange.

Some things seemed to involve even the town officials.

"I'm here to find a way to survive. Even if I want to take care of these things, I don't have the strength. People must know themselves."

Thinking of this, Lin Ji cupped his hands at Li Xiang, the new chief catcher, and said, "I have an errand in Xiangzhou, and I want to check the archives in Huangling County. Please make it easier for Chief catcher Li."

"Where is Lin Youxing?" Li Xiang quickly waved his hand.

Lin Ji nodded, and after bidding farewell to Li Xiang, he went back into the archives.

Saying hello was just a prevarication, he knew Li Xiang would not stop him.

It's just that there is no one in charge of the yamen before, so naturally he can do whatever he wants.But now that Li Xiang is a new official, he should give him some face and say hello, lest he feel unhappy.

……

Lin Ji stayed in the file warehouse of Huangling County for another three days, searching through the files from a hundred years ago.

Regarding Leiyun Temple, there are many records in the archives.

A hundred years ago, Leiyun Temple was also a big temple in Xiangzhou. The monks in the temple often walked around, so they also left some deeds in Huangling County.

But other than that, Lin Ji has nothing to gain except knowing that the former site of Leiyun Temple is in the south of Xiangzhou.

Lin Ji felt a little discouraged when he walked out of the dossier.

"Forget it, I expected that things would not be so simple, so let's continue going south."

Lin Ji greeted Li Xiang, declined the other party's idea of ​​seeing him off, and then asked for a map of Xiangzhou.

Returning to the station with the map in hand, Lin Ji packed his luggage and left Huangling County directly.

Compared with Liangzhou's mountains and rivers, Xiangzhou's terrain is smooth.

There are also mountains and water, but it is not like Liangzhou, which is traversed by mountains and divided by rivers.

Like Liangzhou, this place is also the granary of Daqin. It is said that the grain produced here every year is enough to supply the people of two or three states, and by the way, support the soldiers and horses stationed in Yunzhou.

In the evening, Lin Ji had already left Huangling County for more than a hundred miles.

The sky was getting dark, and there was another county town, Baili County, a dozen miles ahead.

"Baili County is named after a hundred miles away from Xiangcheng, which is interesting."

On the map that Lin Ji took, not only the topography of Xiangzhou and various counties, but also many annotations.

It is said to be a map, but in fact it is not too different from a map.

But looking at the location of Xiangcheng on the map, Lin Ji always felt a little strange.

Xiangzhou is much bigger than Liangzhou, and it is more than 200 miles into Xiangzhou, which is the prefectural city. How to manage the vast area further south?
Walking forward with some doubts, Lin Ji walked for a while, and the outline of Baili County could be vaguely seen in front of him.

Taking a few quick steps, Lin Ji entered the county seat.

At this time, the sky was already dark, but the county was brightly lit.

The hawkers on both sides of the road were all lit with oil lamps in front of their stalls. It was clear that it was too dark, but they were unwilling to close their stalls.

"In Qingyang County, the county is already quiet at this time."

Lin Ji felt a little weird, people in this world always work at sunrise and rest at sunset.

Those who don't sleep at night are mostly not good things except for tolerance.

That is to say, those who drink flower wine, listen to music, and gamble will stay up late at night and often stay up all night.

Few vendors will do business at this point.

Not only that, after walking two extra steps in Baili County, Lin Ji also keenly noticed that these vendors frequently looked in the direction of the county, as if they were waiting for something.

Lin Ji deliberately slowed down and waited for a while.

Not long after, a voice suddenly sounded from the side.

"coming!"

Lin Ji looked in the direction pointed by the caller, and immediately saw a group of monks.

"What are the vendors waiting for these monks?" Lin Ji felt a little inconceivable.

This is not the West, there is Buddhism, but it will not flourish here, right?
Immediately afterwards, Lin Ji saw those monks spread out, standing casually in front of various stalls, clasped their hands together, and professed mercy.

And those street vendors who were found by the monk also took out the silver and the goods they sold and handed them over, imitating the monk's palms together.

"I'm grateful for being begged by a monk, what's going on?"

Lin Ji's original view of Buddhism was neither good nor bad, he didn't particularly like it, and of course he didn't particularly dislike it, after all, whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, there are some masters and some gentle scum.

Seeing this scene at this time, it made him confused.

This Baili County is too strange.
