Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

Chapter 139 errands
This was the first time Lin Ji met Ouyang Ke.

In the previous letters, Lin Ji always felt that Ouyang Ke might be a gentle character only by looking at the somewhat graceful handwriting.

But at this moment, the image in front of him, wearing a mandarin jacket, showing breasts, and arms thicker than Lin Ji's thighs, really caught Lin Ji by surprise.

While Lin Ji was looking at Ouyang Ke, Ouyang Ke was also looking at Lin Ji with great interest.

After a long while, he pointed to the chair beside him.

"sit."

After Lin Ji sat down, he grinned.

"Even if you are far away in Xiangzhou, you, Lin Ji, are famous."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ji hastily bowed his body.

"What do you mean by that, my lord?"

"Some things haven't been spread, but the higher-ups won't hide it from me and other town officials. You, the chief arrester of the fourth realm, are deeply involved in the matter of the town's demon tower in Beijing, and you are quite capable."

"My lord, don't make jokes about taking down an official, it's all because you can't do it." Lin Ji shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Whenever possible, this kind of thing should be kept far away."

This matter was completely dragged into him by Tianji, and he couldn't even hide it.

"Hahaha, you are real!" Ouyang Ke couldn't help laughing out loud again.

After the laughter fell, the expression on his face finally restrained a little.

"Have you read the letter I gave you earlier?"

Lin Ji was startled, he didn't expect Ouyang Ke to take the initiative to bring up this matter.

This kind of tacit matter, Lin Ji didn't intend to mention it when he came.

But at this time, since Ouyang Ke said it himself, he can only talk along the topic.

"seen it already."

"How do you feel?" Ouyang Ke asked again.

"I don't have any thoughts. It's not a big deal if a few pests come out of the supervisor Tiansi." Lin Ji said after consideration.

But Ouyang Ke was obviously dissatisfied with this answer.

"You are not a stupid person, I want you to tell the truth."

"Your Excellency, do you really want to step down from office and tell the truth?" Lin Ji looked up at Ouyang Ke and met his gaze.

"That's right." Ouyang Ke grinned and nodded.

Seeing this scene, Lin Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking in his heart, feeling something was wrong.

"The lower official saw in the letter the lord's intention of defending, and he didn't want to let the lower official make a fuss out of a trivial matter."

"That's the only way?" Ouyang Ke raised his eyebrows, "Just say what you have, and you don't have to argue with me."

Lin Ji took a deep breath.

"The lower official learned from Li Fei that there is a mastermind behind the banditry in Xiangzhou, and also saw that there are some ambiguities in the words in the letter from the Lord, so I guess that the Lord is also related to the banditry in Xiangzhou."

It was Ouyang Ke who wanted to ask.

If he didn't ask, Lin Ji wouldn't speak.

But he did ask, and he continued to ask, insisting on finding out why.

Naturally, Lin Ji had nothing to be afraid of. On his territory, even if Ouyang Ke wanted to pierce the window paper, he couldn't stop him.

It's better to say it honestly.

Hearing Lin Ji's answer, the smile on Ouyang Ke's face became wider.

He asked again: "How is this official related to the banditry in Xiangzhou?"

"Either they knew about it or did not report it, or they were powerless, or they were complicit."

After saying this, Lin Ji looked up at Ouyang Ke, wanting to see his reaction.

The smile on Ouyang Ke's face disappeared, and he became expressionless, just nodded slightly.

"There are dozens of bandits in Xiangzhou, and I have a share of the harvest every year." Ouyang Ke said in a deep voice.

Lin Ji remained silent, waiting for the next article.

"Behind the banditry is the faction of the sect. Most of the bandits who caused trouble in Xiangzhou were outcasts and traitors of the sect." Ouyang Ke's face showed a bit of sarcasm again.

After a pause, Ouyang Ke picked up the tea bowl on the table, but just held it in his hand.

"Lin Ji, you have been working in Liangzhou. Have you ever been to places other than Jingzhou and Liangzhou before that?"

"Never."

Ouyang Ke put down the tea bowl again.

"All the income I get from the banditry is in the government office, and the court knows it. But the money can only stay in Xiangzhou and cannot be sent to the capital."

Hearing this, Lin Ji already had some understanding in his heart.

People like Ouyang Ke are in the same boat, but most of them are beyond their capabilities.

So I ended up in a situation where I couldn't help myself.

"Why does the sect support banditry?" Lin Ji asked.

"There are too many bandits, and the Superintendent of Tiantian can't manage them. If the Zongmen cleans up the rioting bandits from time to time, it will gain the hearts of the people. Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world."

Lin Ji understood, but was also speechless.

This is not even a conspiracy, it is a naked conspiracy.

But the common people just like this, they listen to the wind and rain, and believe what they say.

The foundation of the sect is the disciples, and the disciples also come from the common people.

"The Zongmen forces in Xiangzhou are more effective than the court?" Lin Ji asked.

"The surrounding area of ​​Xiangcheng is fine, but the further south we go, the more we can't reach it." Ouyang Ke lowered his voice slightly.

"After all, there is a Taiyi Gate to the south."

Speaking of this, Ouyang Ke picked up the tea bowl again, this time he took two sips before putting it down.

"I'm telling you these things to give you the bottom line, so that you won't be confused when you walk in Xiangzhou and mistrust others." Ouyang Ke pointed at the table, "Then Li Xiang, who is going to replace Li Fei as the head arrester in Huangling County, the two of you They come from the same family, and the Li family is a subsidiary of the Taiyi Sect."

Some things don't need to be too obvious, just a glimpse of the leopard is enough.

Ouyang Ke said again: "What I said before is an explanation for you. There is something you need to deal with next, and it is for this reason that I called you with the pigeon."

"What's the matter?" Lin Ji asked.

"When I came here, I saw many monks rushing to Xiangcheng, right?"

"Yes." Lin Ji nodded, he was also surprised by this.

"Outside Xiangcheng, an unknown ancient monk's tomb was found on Baici Mountain. As a star traveler, you can just go there."

"Are those monks here for the tomb? Are there treasures inside?" Lin Ji became a little interested.

He has been working in Tianjiansi for many years, and he has never experienced such a thing.

Ouyang Ke nodded, then shook his head again.

"Of course there are treasures, but you are not asked to go for treasures, but to kill people."

"Kill who?"

"The inner disciple of Taiyi Sect, Huang Jing."

Ouyang Ke said in a deep voice: "This person was originally sent to Taiyi Sect by Jiantiansi, but later he rebelled and never came back after leaving. He also revealed a lot of secret things about Jiantiansi in Xiangzhou."

"Since Jian Tiansi rebelled, how dare he walk outside?" Lin Ji was a little surprised.

The end of Jian Tiansi's traitor has always been death.

After all, Jian Tiansi doesn't care whether you want to quit or not, if you don't want to do it, you just leave, betrayal is nothing.

"This matter has not been made clear, he is a secret traitor, but Jian Tiansi is not only Huang Jing's eyeliner in the Taiyi Sect."

"All in all, this time Huang Jing will appear in the tomb with the people from the Taiyi Sect. You go and kill him, but don't use the identity of Tiansi Supervisor. It's best to be unnoticed."

Lin Ji frowned slightly.

"My lord, I have shown my face in Baili County, Huangling County, and I also used the identity of Superintendent to go to the city before."

Ouyang Ke waved his hands nonchalantly.

"At least he doesn't know you now, you just have to do it."
