"I was attacked last night. After killing them, I was chased by a woman in a black dress..."
Lin Yi told Guan Buping that he was attacked and met Wang Jinxuan, Jiulu Zhenjie and the rice-working girl, but Lin Yi chose to hide it.
It's not that he doesn't trust Guan Ping, it's just that he hasn't reached the level where he can trust him with his life.
If the Nine Silk True Interpretation given to him by the girl is genuine, such an important thing, there is no telling what kind of trouble it will cause. Money and silk are so touching, but Ji Yi would not dare to use such a thing to test Guan Buping.
Throughout the entire statement process, Ji Yi did not lie, and he naturally had no doubts despite the injustice.
It is a good thing that the members of the Jingtian Sect have been eradicated. Otherwise, with Jingyesi's remaining strength, he would not be a match for the Jingtian Sect at all.
Unless, he asks for help from his superiors.
However, after a great war eighteen years ago, Jingyesi's vitality was seriously damaged. Later, the new emperor succeeded to the throne, focusing on cultivating Taoism and neglecting state affairs. The government and the public were in a state of chaos.
To be honest, if the country is about to perish, there will be evildoers.
In today's Daqi, the government and the public are already in chaos.
Jingyesi in various places are too busy to take care of themselves and have no extra strength at all. Otherwise, according to the situation in the past, when Guan Buping led the team to slay the demons, only two patrols came back. Not to mention being dismissed and intervening, they must still have heavy responsibilities.
But now Guan Buping is still the chief arrester of Jingyesi in Changsha County, because there is no one else available.
Naturally, if Jingyesi of Changsha County encounters any problems, they basically cannot count on support. This is also where Guan Buping has no choice.
As a member of a public family, one is afraid of the righteous sect, the other is the demonic demons, and the third is the court officials, but only the demons are not to be afraid of, which is really ironic.
But if he doesn't give in and lets his temper run wild, the outcome for those who follow him may not be better than being angry.
Over the years, many Jingyesi yamen have been destroyed in various places.
Three years ago, the chief arrester of Baling County was killed by a demon, and everyone above the ninth rank of Jingyesi died in the line of duty. In the following six months, the demons and ghosts in Baling County became more and more troublesome, until the Lianyunguan of Lianyun Mountain sent Taoist priests down the mountain to guard one side.
, so as to ensure peace for one party.
A year ago, the Jingtian Sect made a surprise attack on Jiujiang County. No one in the entire Jingyesi Division of Jiujiang County was spared. Because Jiujiang County's strategic position was very important, the Jingyesi headquarters sent the famous arrester Duanhun personally to Jiujiang to rebuild the Jingyesi Division.
Within a few years, two Jingyesi were completely wiped out near Changsha County, and there were also several Jingyesi who were attacked by demons and seriously injured.
They were all waiting for the DG to rescue them, but the DG couldn't save them at all.
Of course, Changsha County is also an important location. If Guan Buping asks for help, experts should come over, but Guan Buping is also worried that there is a bigger plot behind it, so he does not touch Jing Yesi's relationship.
When junior sister arrives, there will naturally be a solution.
I just didn't expect that after this night, there would be no more people from the Jingtian Sect.
No matter who takes action, it is a good thing for them.
Guan Buping didn't care that Ji Yi might have just stayed up late and fought hard. He said a little apologetically to He Dong and led him to see the body.
A total of sixteen corpses of Jingtian disciples were displayed in Jingyesi's morgue. Niu Er was guarding inside. Guan Buping led Lin Yi to look over and explained: "The three here
You are the one who killed me, right?"
Lin Yi looked at the wounds on one woman and two men and found that they were traces of his own hands.
The other thirteen people had both burns and sword wounds on their bodies, but despite the injustice, they still concluded that it was done by one person.
"When I went to the scene to investigate, I still felt the residual spiritual power. The person who did it should be a talisman cultivator, and it is very likely that he is a Liulu Celestial Master."
The Sixth Grade Celestial Master, also known as the fourth grade, is already a very powerful master, enough to become the pastor of Jingyesi and lead the entire Jingyesi.
"Since he is a talisman cultivator, why are there sword wounds?"
Lin Yi asked curiously, and Guan Buping explained: "This is not just an ordinary Liulu Celestial Master, she has used sword talismans, and she should have sword talismans that are not weaker than earth products. Such a master,
Every sect can be counted, and practicing sects rarely interfere in mortal affairs. Every time they interfere, there must be a reason."
Niu Er listened for a long time and finally couldn't help but smile naively and said: "Maybe they can't stand it anymore?"
Guan Buping sneered and said seriously: "Don't trust any sect, whether it's good or evil."
Guan Buping did not say the reason, but Ji Yi knew that there was a story in it.
Because Guan Buping’s face is full of stories.
"The woman who chased me last night is not among them."
Ji Yi looked at all sixteen corpses and confirmed again. Many of the corpses here were unrecognizable, but the woman's features were still quite distinctive. Ji Yi did not admit her mistake.
Maybe that woman was not part of the Jingtian Sect, or maybe she was separated from the team when the incident happened and escaped the disaster.
Guan Buping understood clearly and said: "The Jingtian Sect's affairs may have come to an end for the time being, but you still don't let down your guard. From today on, you don't have to go out on night patrols. Leave the rest to your subordinates."
Just do it. Lin Yi, just take a good rest today. Although tiger whip is good, saving money is the fundamental thing."
Lin Yi: "..."
Brother, I’ve made you understand everything!
However, today is a good day for him to have a day off. The time for He Dong's tribulation is coming soon, and Ji Yi must prepare as soon as possible.
After thanking Guan Buping and leaving Jingyesi, Lin Yi went to the suburbs of the city.
Salt and iron are all run by the government. When it comes to blacksmithing, the official technology is certainly better, but Lin Yi knows that the official work efficiency is extremely slow. By the time they make the Faraday cage and lightning rod, He Dong will probably be gone.
Lin Yi is a patrol officer. After several months of observation, he knows the Changsha County and City well. The higher-ups don't know much about it, but he knows how the people at the bottom make a living.
There is a blacksmith shop on the outskirts of the city. It is private in name but actually has its own backend.
Without a backstage, this shop would have to be confiscated even with its people and equipment.
As a private blacksmith shop, the speed of accepting work here is of course faster and the price is slightly more expensive, but there is nothing we can do about it.
Otherwise, by the time the official gives you a hoe, it will take three months, and the grass in the field will have grown old and withered, and the hoe has just been made.
Lin Yi was not interested in exploring the power-money transaction behind this. He took the money and found the Xie family's blacksmith shop.
It is said to be a shop, but it is no different from a workshop.
There are eight blacksmiths in total, not counting apprentices.
The shopkeeper is a short, thin, middle-aged man with a cunning look on his face. He has a mustache that looks like a mouse. If the sides were trimmed shorter, he would look like a "Taijun".
Seeing Ji Yi wearing official uniform, he quickly showed a flattering smile.
"This official, when you come to the shop, do you want to buy some utensils?"
Ji Yi took out a cloth bag from his arms, put it on the counter, and said loudly: "I want to smelt copper."
