With a flash of consciousness, Lin Ji saw that the man in front of him had a cultivation level in the middle stage of the third realm.
It should be Huangling County who arrests the head.
"It's me. I caught a bandit leader on the road and I'm here to bring him to justice." Lin Ji grabbed Hei Lang with one hand and shook him.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Ji noticed that after seeing the black wolf, the man in front of him had a bit of surprise in his eyes, but it was quickly hidden.
He looked at Lin Ji again and clasped his fists.
"I'm here to capture Li Fei, the leader of Xiahuangling County. Brother Dao, you are good at it. This black wolf is the boss of Black Bear Mountain and has been causing trouble on the border of Xiangzhou for a long time."
"Lin Ji, a visitor from Liangzhou." Lin Ji returned the salute and asked casually, "Does Capt. Li recognize this black wolf? Since he has been causing trouble for a long time, why didn't he catch him?"
"This..." Li Fei hesitated for a moment and explained, "The terrain of Black Bear Mountain is complicated. This black wolf also has the cultivation level of the third realm. He is also cunning. It's not that he won't be caught, but that he can't be caught."
With that said, Li Fei moved out of the way again.
"Brother Lin, please come in and talk. The county magistrate is already waiting."
Lin Ji dragged Hei Lang and followed Li Fei all the way to the outside of the lobby.
As soon as I entered the lobby of the county government office, the county magistrate above severely smashed the gavel.
"Someone kneel down and talk!"
Before Lin Ji could speak, Li Fei trotted over to the county magistrate and whispered a few words in a low voice.
Only then did the county magistrate react.
"It turns out that he is a hero from Liangzhou. This black wolf has been causing trouble in Xiangzhou for a long time. Now he is finally brought to justice. Capt. Li, please put the black wolf in jail and give this hero five hundred taels of silver."
"Yes." Li Fei responded and walked towards Lin Ji.
"Brother Lin, please leave Black Wolf to me. The county government will make a decision on this matter."
But when Li Fei came to Lin Ji, he saw Lin Ji raising his hand.
"Wait a minute."
Lin Ji had a bit of amusement on his face.
"It hasn't been long since the Supervisor Tiansi's new law came out, right? How should monks be punished for causing trouble?"
Upon hearing this, Li Fei and the county magistrate looked at each other, and both of them frowned.
Seeing that they were silent, Lin Ji continued: "Are you two unclear or don't want to talk?"
"Behead and decide." Li Fei could only say.
"What is a beheading?" Lin Ji asked again.
Li Fei and the county magistrate's expressions remained unchanged, but their eyes towards Lin Ji were already a bit sinister.
"Brother Lin asked questions knowingly?"
Lin Ji chuckled.
"Beheading is to sentence today and behead tomorrow."
"This black wolf has been doing evil for a long time. You two knew his identity before I even opened my mouth. If that's the case, why not punish him?"
The scene suddenly became quiet.
After several breaths of silence, the county magistrate said: "Heilang is involved in several major cases. Until the case is solved, he must be spared! Mr. Lin, are you satisfied with this explanation? Or should I say Supervisor Tiansi?
You can’t even trust me when handling a case?”
"Trust it, trust it." Lin Ji nodded and finally let go of his hand.
Hei Lang fell to the ground and was pushed out of the lobby by Li Fei.
After the two figures disappeared completely, Lin Ji bowed his hands to the county magistrate, turned around and left the county government office.
...
Late at night, in the prison of Huangling County.
Black Wolf was imprisoned in a cell, lying in the corner with his eyes closed.
After a while, a prison guard came pushing a cart to deliver the food.
All the way to Hei Lang's cell, the cell leader put down a few buns and continued moving forward.
After the cell leader walked away, Hei Lang picked up the nest and saw a bunch of keys and a note underneath.
‘Leave tonight and don’t show up again.’ Gu
If it weren't for what Lin Ji said before the Yamen Gate, Hei Lang might have been ecstatic.
But at this moment, Hei Lang carefully looked around for a long time.
After making sure no one was paying attention to him, he opened the cell door.
He didn't see any guards along the way, and he walked out of the prison unimpeded.
But he did not dare to delay. After identifying the direction, he trotted away from Huangling County and plunged into the deep mountains and old forests. Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
He found a stream, leaned against a big rock, and buried his entire face in the stream.
Feeling the coolness of the stream, the fear in his heart finally dissipated.
Then he found that he couldn't lift his head.
"Why didn't you run away?" Lin Ji's voice sounded.
I don't know when, he appeared behind Hei Lang, and then reached out and pressed his head.
Gulu gulu...
The black wolf wanted to speak, but in the water, he could only keep whimpering.
Without cultivation, he is just an ordinary person with a stronger body and cannot hold his breath for long.
After quite a while, Lin Jicai finally pulled him up from the stream by his hair.
"Huh...huh..." Black Wolf panted heavily, with a bit of joy on his face as he survived the disaster.
But then he saw Lin Ji who was smiling but not smiling, and his previous joy suddenly turned into ashes.
"Tell me, what is your relationship with Huangling County?" Lin Ji asked casually.
The black wolf was silent.
Lin Ji continued: "Do you think you will die, so you don't want to speak?"
Seeing that Hei Lang was still silent, Lin Ji sneered.
"Don't you think that I, Lin Ji, am quite upright and follow the rules, so you want to prevaricate me like this?"
"I also know a lot about the methods of refining souls. After I kill you, I take advantage of your soul while it is still alive. I don't have the final say on how to concoct it. You also have the third realm. You should know that compared to
The pain of the body and the pain of the soul are endless tortures.”
Black Wolf's expression changed obviously.
He raised his head and looked at Lin Ji, looking at the increasingly gloomy look on Lin Ji's face, and then swallowed with great difficulty.
"The backstage of Black Bear Mountain is the county government of Huangling County." Hei Lang spoke.
Lin Ji raised his chin, indicating for him to continue speaking, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
He knows nothing about soul refining, it's just a scaremongering, but this trick is true.
Once you open your mouth, your psychological defense line will break and you will be out of control.
"About five years ago, I was wanted by Xiangzhou and captured in Huangling County. It was Li Fei who captured me." Hei Lang whispered, "I thought I was going to die at that time, but Li Fei told me,
Huangling County is located on the border between Xiangzhou and Liangzhou, and there are many merchants coming and going. Do you want to make a fortune with him?"
“So Black Bear Mountain came about?”
"yes."
Hei Lang nodded and continued: "Eighty percent of the property stolen from Hei Xiong Mountain over the years has been sent to Huangling County."
"Can your subordinates convince you of such a loose fortune?"
"They are just a group of ordinary people. If they don't accept it, they will be killed."
"That's true." Lin Ji understood.
He took out the cause and effect book, found a blank page, and wrote the word "Black Wolf" casually.
There was no reason for him not to reject the Karma that was delivered to his door.
Lin Ji stood up and grabbed the black wolf.
"I'll wait until daybreak before I kill you, and I'll prepare you a decapitation meal later. Do you have any taboos?"
Black Wolf was speechless and felt complicated.
Lin Ji didn't care about this.
"If you don't talk, you're not hungry? Okay, you've got nothing to eat."
