New and dark light years

Chapter 68: Despicable Jianghu
Leading the group of people in white suits was a young man. He looked at Li Lin with interest and asked, "Are you here to help Shunfu Escort Agency?"

Li Lin shook his head.

At this time, Lin Qiyu shouted from the side: "Li Xunshu, don't be afraid of them. Our escort leader will be back soon. The Tianyi Sect will be no problem. You just need to help us get through this period of time."

Li Lin looked over coldly.

The young man opposite continued to ask: "How do you prove that you are not here to help?"

"No need to prove it, I'll just leave."

"Then please!" The young man stepped aside and gestured.

Li Lin did not walk in the direction he pointed, but slowly retreated.

Su Huafang once said that when you have a conflict with others, they may let you go on the surface, but they are afraid that they will attack you when you turn around.

Li Lin remembers it very clearly.

The young man opposite did not take any action until Li Lin left the safe area.

Seeing Li Lin about to leave, the young man bowed and said, "Please forgive me, brother. This is the grudge between our Tianyi Sect and Shunfu Escort Agency. Thank you for giving us Tianyi Sect face."

Li Lin said from a distance: "I'm not here to help."

"No problem. Whether it's true or not, we in Tianyi Sect are grateful for your kindness." The young man continued with a smile, "If we meet again someday, I will treat you to a drink of fine wine."

Li Lin bowed from a distance, turned and left.

Then he heard the faint voice of a young man behind him: Lin Qiyu, you are still as despicable as ever...

Li Lin left the intersection and planned to take a detour.

Tianjin City is very big, and it took a long time to take a detour. After nearly half an hour, he arrived at the door of the Craftsman Bureau.

There were two yamen runners standing outside the door. Li Lin explained his purpose and soon a middle-aged craftsman received him.

Ordinary people cannot directly order items here at the Artisan Bureau, but the Soul Hunters are "officials" with a regular job and can shop here.

"I want an alchemy furnace. It doesn't need to be too big, just about the size of a small pot."

Hearing this request, the middle-aged craftsman smiled and said, "If it's a large alchemy furnace, we'll have to order it, but if it's a small one, we have many prototypes here. Would you like to come and take a look?"

"it is good."

Li Lin chose a small lotus-shaped alchemy furnace, which was about the size of a small pot. He paid five taels of silver and walked out of the craftsman's office with it. Unexpectedly, he met an acquaintance.

"Xun Shou Li, you are also in Tianjin?" Zhao Hao was a little surprised.

Li Lin nodded and said, "Senior Su invited me to join the gang and earn some money."

"Then why do you come here..." Zhao Hao's eyes fell on Li Lin's alchemy furnace: "You have learned a lot."

"It's just so-so." Li Lin said with a smile.

"Okay, I have some things to take care of inside." Zhao Hao said with a smile: "Come to the government office to find me tomorrow, and I'll take you on a good tour here. After all, I am half a Tianjin person."

"Don't bother you, I just want to walk around on my own."

Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment, then he 'got' it: "Oh, I see. Then you really need to go shopping on your own. Remember to ask them to give you a red envelope."

Li Lin rolled his eyes helplessly.

Zhao Hao laughed loudly and entered the craftsman bureau.

Li Lin first returned to the inn, put away the alchemy furnace, and then went out shopping.

He watched acrobatics, saw people breaking rocks with their chests, saw people breathing fire, saw people fishing money out of oil pans, and ate a lot of small bites. Feeling full, he returned to the inn and prepared to go to bed.

Just at this moment, someone knocked on the door.

He subconsciously picked up the red tasseled spear hanging nearby and asked, "Who is it?"

"It's me, Zhao Hao."

Li Lin opened the door and saw Zhao Hao standing outside with a look of urgency on his face.

"How did you know I live here..."

"It's urgent, let's talk while we walk."

"Wait." Li Lin went back and took out a stack of paper figures and a few life-promoting pills from his bag. He put them into his clothes, then walked out the door and said, "Let's go."

Zhao Hao led the way, taking long strides. "I came to Tianjin because my uncle wanted to introduce me to a distinguished person, but that distinguished person disappeared not long ago."

His face was filled with anxiety. Li Lin did remember that Huang Qi had said not long ago that the noble man Zhu Laosan was coming to Tianjin.

And Zhao Hao's uncle seems to be the chief clerk of Tianjin City, so the distinguished person he wants to meet is Zhu Laosan?

Zhu Laosan is missing?
This is a big deal.

Zhao Hao continued, "As for how we knew you were in the inn, it's because this place is full of local people, so it's easy to find someone."

"But you can't find that noble person?"

"Because this matter may involve ghosts!" Zhao Hao said helplessly.

Li Lin subconsciously looked up at the vague image of the Dharma in the sky.

Zhao Hao knew what he was thinking and continued, "The True Lords don't really care about human affairs. They only care about the overall situation. Unless he really sees the ghost swaying in front of him, otherwise he will ignore it."

The two of them soon arrived in front of the government office. The gatekeeper knew Zhao Hao and let them in directly.

When I arrived at the government office, I saw a large group of people gathered there.

There were warriors and spirit hunters, and at a glance there were more than thirty of them.

Li Lin even discovered that Su Huafang, Bai Zhiwei and Bai Bufan were among them.

They also saw Li Lin and Zhao Hao and waved to them.

As the two walked over, Su Huafang said helplessly, "I never thought I'd come here to make some money and have some fun for a couple of days, but I ended up getting into this kind of trouble."

Li Lin asked, "Have you guessed what it is?"

"I know a little bit."

While the two were talking, a middle-aged man in elegant clothes walked out from behind the screen.

Everyone bowed and saluted, calling him "Master Fu" in unison.

Li Lin also bowed.

The official in the court was named Fang Hua, a fourth-rank civil servant and the prefect of Tianjin.

"A distinguished person has gone missing in this city. It's suspected to be the work of a ghost." Fang Hua didn't sit down, but stood upright. His expression was extremely grim. "You are all officials under the jurisdiction of Jin City. From now on, you must find this person within three days. Otherwise... I will lose my official position, and neither will you."

After saying that, Fang Hua flicked his sleeves and walked away.

On the warrior side, a man dressed in black and with a sword at his waist strode over and said, "Everyone, warriors can't solve this strange problem. I will lead my men to seal the city gates and search for suspicious individuals. The rest is up to you."

Among the Jincheng spirit hunters, a man in his early thirties bowed and said, "Excuse me, Inspector Huang."

Then the middle-aged man immediately left with his men in a hurry.

The ones left were all spirit hunters.

The young man turned around and said, "As the magistrate, I will take over the command for the time being. Do you have any objections?"

Of course there is none.

The magistrate is, after all, a seventh-rank official, so naturally he has this power.

Seeing that no one spoke, the young man continued, "Time waits for no one. Those who know how to find people, please step forward."

On the Tianjin side, six people stood up at once.

Li Lin thought about it and stood out.

The young man looked at Li Lin in surprise, then said, "I don't care what means you use. Start casting the spell now and find the noble man. Even if the means are a little ugly, it doesn't matter."

At that moment, the six people showed their magical powers.

Some people started chanting spells and performing rituals.

Someone took out a small incense burner and lit incense.

Some began to sit cross-legged and rolled their eyes.

Each has his own unique skills.

Li Lin was the only one left standing motionless.

The young man looked over and asked, "Friend from Yulin County, what's your problem? Why haven't you started searching for him yet?"

Li Lin smiled awkwardly: "I don't know what the noble man looks like..."
