Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

Chapter 652 Rejection

"Situ Jing."

When telling about this life, Cheng Yu appeared extremely calm, as if he was talking about someone who had nothing to do with him.

But Lin Ji at the side was keenly aware of the suppressed anger in Cheng Yu's heart.

After pondering for a moment, Cheng Yu seemed to have adjusted his mentality a little, and said in a low voice, "This person appeared in Jinling City about five years ago, and he was personally invited back by Nangong Limeng after going out once."

"Although the supervisor in Yangzhou is not as powerful as those in the northern states, there is always an endorsement from the imperial court. Originally, Yangzhou and the various families were at peace until Situ Jing came, and the situation in Yangzhou changed."

"Oh? Could it be that the Nangong family invited him back to deal with Supervisor Tiansi?" Lin Ji became a little interested.

"I can't say that, but it's probably the same. Ever since Situ Jing came, I feel a bit constrained. It's always difficult to complete the errands that are arranged on weekdays, and some of my subordinates often die for no reason."

"At first I didn't take it seriously, but later, there were too many similar things. After I checked, I found out that most of them were planned by Situ Jing behind the scenes. Among them, there are many family members who personally acted against my demon hunters and head hunters. Even Yu Xing and Zhang Ling."

"They also dare to kill Primordial Spirit monks of Supervisor Tiansi?" Lin Ji raised his eyebrows slightly.

Cheng Yu didn't answer, but just glanced at Lin Ji with a deep meaning in his eyes.

Lin Ji shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, Yangzhou is still too far away from the General Yamen, beyond the reach of the whip."

Cheng Yu sighed softly: "Situ Jing's methods are despicable. Apart from plotting, he also uses threats and lures. Among the servants working for the Nangong family, there are my subordinates who used to be in the supervisor."

"Although I am the magistrate of Yangzhou Town, in the final analysis, I am only at the pinnacle of the Japanese Tourist Realm. It's not that I underestimate myself. This level of cultivation can be regarded as good in Kyushu, but that person is from the Nangong family."

Hearing this, Lin Ji had an inexplicable smile on his face.

"Master Cheng wants me to kill that Situ Jing."

"Yes." Cheng Yu nodded and said, "Brother Lin is in the Taoist realm, so killing him is easy, and brother Lin is not from Yangzhou, so if you run away after the incident, even the Nangong family will have nothing to do with you."

Hearing this, Lin Ji glanced at Lu Zhaoer who was at the side, and then suddenly sneered.

"Oh, Master Cheng, is that really the case?"

Cheng Yu's expression froze.

"What? Everything I said just now is true."

"What Lin said, is it really because of these things that you want to kill Situ Jing?" After a pause, Lin Ji said softly, "Lin has cultivated the six skills of Buddhism, and he can always see things that others can't see , the matter of Weizhou is not a secret among the town officials, Mr. Cheng should understand what Lin means."

As soon as this remark came out, Cheng Yu was immediately speechless.

After a long time, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Shen Hongan was also related to this person back then."

"You want to avenge Shen Hong?"

"Yes."

"Would you be willing to borrow someone else's hands?"

After the words fell, Lin Ji let out a long sigh, got up and gave Cheng Yu a slight salute, then turned around and left with Lu Zhaoer.

While walking, he said without looking back: "This matter has nothing to do with Lin."

Cheng Yu was a little disappointed, but he still stood up to return the salute.

"I was the one who was abrupt, I hope Brother Lin is not to blame."

"It's okay."

"One more thing." Cheng Yu said again.

Lin Ji paused and looked back at Cheng Yu.

"how?"

"Two days later, there will be the Jinling Reception."

"Jinling reception?"

"The lord of Jinling City changes every ten years, and they are chosen at this Jinling Reception." Cheng Yu said with a smile, "But Brother Lin probably won't care about these things."

"Naturally, this matter has nothing to do with Lin."

"The Nangong family brought back Yulu wine from overseas, it is the best of all wines."

Lin Ji raised his eyebrows, showing some interest.

"How does Yulu wine taste?"

"I don't know, but it's worth the great efforts of the Nangong family. It should be extraordinary."

"Can I taste it when I go?"

"You can taste it when you go."

Lin Ji smiled noncommittally, and cupped his hands at Cheng Yu.

"Ms. Lin bids farewell."

"Are you going? The Jinling Reception?"

On the way back to the inn, Lu Zhaoer saw that Lin Ji was silent, so she finally couldn't help asking.

Hearing Lu Zhaoer's question, Lin Ji was silent for a moment, but his expression was not pretty.

"I still have to go."

"It can't be because of the Yulu Bar?" Lu Zhaoer raised her eyebrows, "Cheng Yu told you this, obviously she is also going to the so-called reception, and she is probably using you."

"I know." Lin Ji said in a low voice, pondered for a moment, then looked at Lu Zhaoer, "Zhaoer, what kind of thing did you say that made a third-rank town official in Jiantiansi want to die? "

"Death? Cheng Yu wants to go all out?"

Lin Ji nodded slightly.

"Although she didn't show her face just now, but I'm in the Dao realm, how could she hide the truth from my Buddhism? Situ Jing is probably just a cover, and she wouldn't die for a servant of an aristocratic family. The town government officials are not so cheap."

While talking, Lin Ji couldn't help feeling a little regretful in his heart.

"As a town official, how could she die for a personal matter?" Lu Zhaoer frowned, "Even in Yangzhou, she can't be so capricious."

Hearing this, Lin Ji shook his head and said, "I'm afraid she has already made preparations. Just now, apart from Cheng Yu and a few servants, she couldn't even find a second cultivator in the government office in Yangzhou."

A bit of surprise appeared on Lu Zhaoer's face.

Lin Ji continued: "The guards in the warehouse, the prison guards, the documents, etc., in the huge Yangzhou government office, only Cheng Yu has a cultivation level. Obviously, she has long been planning to do something at the Jinling Reception. When it comes to us, it just happens to be the right time.”

Lu Zhao'er said in disbelief, "That's the Yangzhou government office, the headquarters of the Yangzhou Supervisor Tiansi."

Seeing Lin Ji's silence, Lu Zhaoer remembered what he had learned earlier, that the Yangzhou Superintendent was no longer in effect.

Now it seems that this is more than just a name, it is only a name left.

During the time they spoke, the two had already returned to the inn where they were staying.

"So what are you going to do at the Jinling Reception the day after tomorrow?" Lu Zhaoer asked, "If that Cheng Yu really causes a lot of trouble, will you help her?"

"I won't help." Lin Ji shook his head, "I don't have any friendship with her, she wants to kill herself, why should I help?"

As he said that, seeing that Lu Zhaoer seemed a little unconvinced, Lin Ji smiled and said: "If she is considerate of the people and fulfills her duties in office, even if I won't interfere in her private affairs, I might risk my face to save her life, but this Yangzhou Superintendent You have also seen the situation of Tiansi."

Lin Ji shook his head slightly.

"Now she is just a vegetarian with the position of the town government official. No matter how much resentment and grievances she has for this kind of character, in my opinion, she is just dereliction of duty."

"So, she is working hard for her personal affairs, why should I help her?"
