Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

"The reason why the horse bandits in Xiangzhou are rampant is that they rely on the Li family to support them, and the Li family dares to act like this, although there is no conclusive evidence, but Mr. Lin."

Ouyang Ke said meaningfully: "The Li family is a subordinate family of the Taiyi Sect. They dare to be so unscrupulous in Xiangzhou. Do you think there is any meaning behind this?"

After hearing this, Lin Ji suddenly became interested.

"What's the reason?"

"Horse bandits are rampant, so the government must come forward to suppress them. If the banditry is not eradicated, Xiangzhou will have no peace."

Ouyang Ke shook his head and said: "Xiangzhou is not peaceful, so there are people outside the Taiyi Sect who go out to fight for righteousness, leaving a great reputation; Xiangzhou is not peaceful, and the people are increasingly dissatisfied with the government and rely on the Taiyi Sect."

"Is this your guess?" Lin Ji asked.

"The banditry in Xiangzhou has been a problem for many years. The successive town officials have tried to eliminate it, but it didn't take long for it to resurface. Now if the people in Xiangzhou are in trouble, they rarely ask my supervisor Tiansi , I couldn’t even fight a few lawsuits.”

"They would rather believe in the disciples of the Taiyi Sect who claim to be a chivalrous and righteous disciple on behalf of the heavens, than to tell the government about their troubles."

Hearing this, Lin Ji's face showed a bit of surprise.

Ouyang Ke's speculation is reasonable, and he can understand it.

But in the final analysis, this kind of thing is still somewhat incompatible with Taiyimen, who is known as the leader of the Taoist sect.

It's too low-grade. The key.

Ouyang Ke seemed to see Lin Ji's entanglement, and he smiled lightly: "This is to take Xiangzhou from Daqin's hands, what kind of tricks are these mere horse bandits? If you stay in Xiangzhou for a long time , you know that the world is as black as crows, even the Taiyi Sect is no exception."

"Is that so?" Lin Ji couldn't argue, and he didn't have the position to argue for Taiyimen, "In this way, Lin has short-sightedness. But listening to Mr. Ouyang's explanation, there is indeed some truth."

"In this way, the Li family is really hard to deal with. After all, even if Tai Yimen regards the Li family as an outcast for Jian Tiansi's sake, but with their power, it is still considered as supporting the Wang family and the Zhang family. No big deal."

"That's right." Ouyang Ke agreed, "So since I took office in Xiangzhou, in the past ten years, except for the first few times when I was interested in horse bandits, I can only let it go. , as long as those bandits don't harm the people, I can only turn a blind eye."

As he spoke, Ouyang Ke suddenly laughed.

"Anyway, if they go too far, there will naturally be disciples of the Taiyi Sect who have gone down the mountain to experience it as a target, and then beheaded and killed it with their own hands."

"Heh, what is this? Is it self-produced and sold?" Lin Ji joked.

Since this so-called horse bandit involved Taiyi Sect, Lin Ji couldn't take care of it anymore.

No matter how you manage it, it will treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Since the Taiyi School already has a tradition of punishing horse bandits, he doesn't have to worry about it.

As for those innocent people who were killed by horse bandits, I am afraid they can only consider themselves unlucky.

The world is like this, and ordinary people have no other choice but to complain.

Say goodbye to Ouyang Ke and leave the government office.

Lin Ji and Lu Zhaoer went to the horse market in the city to sell the carriage and the old horse, and then they found an inn to stay.

"Going more than a thousand miles south from Xiangcheng is Yangzhou. I have been delayed in Liangzhou for a while, so let's go faster." Lin Ji said casually.

Lu Zhaoer nodded, she naturally didn't care.

In the evening, after resting, the two wandered around the city for a long time, and felt bored, so they found a restaurant and ordered some Xiangzhou specialties.

While waiting for the food to be served, Lin Ji said: "After eating, you should go back to the inn first, I have to pay a visit to Zhongfu."

"Oh, I thought you were going to keep pretending you didn't know, and then go secretly at night." Lu Zhaoer glanced at Lin Ji with a bit of disdain in her eyes.

Lin Ji was taken aback.

"You already expected it."

"Isn't that friend of yours from the Zhong family? They even ran all the way to Xiangzhou to find you. Now that you're in Xiangcheng, why don't you go see him?"

Hearing the slight dissatisfaction in Lu Zhaoer's tone, Lin Ji shook his head and said, "I told you what you said on the way. The matter has come to an end. You can't run away anyway, so I can't help but make you jealous." .”

Lu Zhaoer rolled her eyes.

"If I knew you had this virtue, I should have asked Grandpa to teach you a few more times when I was in the capital."

"It's too late." Lin Ji grinned.

While speaking, Lin Ji suddenly felt that someone was looking at him.

As soon as he looked up, he saw a young man squinting at him at the table next to the stairs on the second floor of the restaurant. When he saw Lin Ji raised his head, his eyes froze for a moment, and then he quickly retracted his head.

"What's wrong?" Lu Zhaoer asked.

"The kid upstairs keeps looking at me, and I always think he looks familiar."

Lin Ji didn't take this trivial matter to heart, maybe some son saw Lu Zhaoer's beauty, so he was jealous of him.

Just when Xiao Er was serving the food, Lin Ji didn't even think about it.

The second floor of the restaurant.

"Brother Hong, it's that kid." The young man who had just looked at Lin Ji said to his companion at the same table, with a bit of resentment in his eyes.

"Heaven Supervisor You Xing Lin Ji! He was the one who caused me to lose my official position. This is a trivial matter, but because of this incident, my brother and I lost an adult at home, and even my father became indifferent to me."

The person who spoke was Li Fei, the arrester who was dismissed by Lin Ji because of his collusion with the horse bandits.

Opposite Li Fei, sitting was a man who looked only in his early 20s, but had handsome eyes.

His name is Li Hong, and he is Li Fei's younger brother.

Compared to Li Fei, who is mediocre and mediocre, who is difficult to get into at the third level, Li Hong is an inner disciple of the Taiyi Sect.

After listening to Li Fei's narration, Li Hong also poked his head out to look downstairs, and then looked away.

"Just that kid? Brother, this is in Xiangzhou. It would be too embarrassing for you to be picked up by You Xing from somewhere else." Li Hong sighed, "I have only been in seclusion for a few years, why is my brother not even a cat or a dog?" Can you step on your head?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Fei lowered his head and was a little ashamed. Being ridiculed by his younger brother like this would never be too pleasant.

"Nana Lin Ji has some background in Jiantiansi, and the family pushed me out as a scapegoat."

"Hmph, no matter how big the background is, can you surpass the Taiyi Sect in Xiangzhou?" Li Hong snorted softly, drank the wine in his glass, and then got up and said, "I'll go down and vent my anger on you right now! Officer You Xing It’s just the fourth realm, nothing to be afraid of!”

Seeing this, Li Fei was overjoyed.

But right here, a hand was suddenly placed on Li Fei's shoulder.

He turned around, but saw Lin Ji's face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"I remembered, you are Li Fei."

While speaking, Lin Ji smiled brighter and brighter.

"Collude with horse bandits, at least it's an afterthought. Can you tell me how you survived?"
