Lin Yi’s purpose for this visit was to get the assistance of the Inspector of Jiannan State and prepare for the reception of Jade.
As Lin Yi stepped into Guo Mansion, surprisingly, there was not even a door guard.
"The security conditions in the Inspector’s ho are really good, not even needing a door guard. He must be doing well as an Inspector, probably the sa throughout Jiannan State."
Just as Lin Yi finished speaking, two dark shadows suddenly lunged at him from his right.
Lin Yi had no ti to throw a punch, and quickly sidestepped, letting the shadows miss.
"What the heck, that was so fast!"
"Woof woof woof—"
It was only when Lin Yi saw clearly that they were two large black dogs, that several more black dogs continuously ran out from the yard, crazily attacking Lin Yi.
[Di-di-di, host has successfully purchased an Anesthesia Gun, 8000 Heavenly Bead Coins have been paid.]
Lin Yi didn’t want to dignify the dogs with a response, whichever dog dared to co close, he would simply put them under with the anesthesia.
As two large black dogs fell to the ground, the other dogs dared not co close, only ragingly barking non-stop at the side.
Soon, the barking of the dogs drowned out the music playing inside, and a flurry of rapid footsteps ca.
"Who is so presumptuous to run wild in this official’s mansion, bullying my household, aren’t there any guards?"
The speaker was the Inspector of Jiannan State, Guo Huaimu, surrounded by several people wearing official hats.
Pointing to the vicious dogs beside him, Lin Yi asked, "Are you the Inspector of Jiannan State Guo Huaimu? With so many vicious dogs in your house, what if they hurt soone?"
Guo Huaimu, with a face full of arrogance, laughed wildly: "Hahaha, being bitten by my official’s dogs is their fortune, don’t be unappreciative. Co, arrest him for ."
Following Guo Huaimu’s command, dozens of people rushed out from the mansion, intending to surround Lin Yi completely.
"Ah!"
Lin Yi could not help but sigh deeply, as his intention was to properly et with Guo Huaimu to discuss matters related to the entry of Jade.
Before he could even start talking, Guo Huaimu began releasing dogs to bite and arrest him recklessly.
From this, it was evident that Guo Huaimu was not an easy person to deal with, and it might not be smooth to have Jade successfully sent across the border.
"Inspector Guo, I ca here on important business to discuss, and all this recklessness, aren’t you afraid of cooling the hearts of the people?"
Who knew Guo Huaimu would laugh even more unrestrainedly, arrogantly saying: "Who is this ignorant troublemaker daring to lecture ?"
"What about cooling the hearts of the people, even if it were the Emperor himself, I wouldn’t be afraid."
Seeing Guo Huaimu’s overly arrogant deanor, Lin Yi entertained the thought of replacing this Inspector Guo and see if he would still be so arrogant.
At this ti, a tall and thin man beside Guo Huaimu spoke with a face full of conflict.
"Inspector, if I may suggest, should we not inquire about his background? I heard that the court sotis sends people to visit in disguise, if we make a mistake, that could be troubleso."
Finally, soone spoke a just word, which greatly relieved Lin Yi, and he asked,
"Who might this official be?"
The tall and thin man courteously replied, "I am Sun Pingkai, the County Magistrate of Gan County."
Seeing Sun Pingkai being so courteous to Lin Yi, Guo Huaimu looked displeased.
"County Magistrate Sun, this is my Guo Mansion, shouldn’t you show so respect when you visit my ho?"
"Now that he is challenging , are you trying to side against ?"
After stating this, Sun Pingkai, though slightly embarrassed, still maintained his dignity.
"Inspector Guo, I am here to report on tribute silver matters, and since you have a visitor, I shall not disturb you further and will take my leave."
With that, Sun Pingkai left straightforwardly, showing no regard for Inspector Guo’s face.
Lin Yi was astounded, admiring how the County Magistrate of Gan County upheld his integrity and refused to collude with Guo Huaimu.
Guo Huaimu could only gnash his teeth in frustration as he let Sun Pingkai leave, helpless to do otherwise.
Indeed, Gan County alone contributed eight thousand taels of tribute silver, accounting for one-third of the entire tribute from Jiannan State.
With such financial backing, Guo Huaimu truly did not dare to mishandle Sun Pingkai.
Originally, Guo Huaimu had invited Sun Pingkai over for a drink to persuade him to contribute more silver, increasing the amount to ten thousand taels.
Only by contributing more silver to the court could Guo Huaimu possibly return to the Imperial City to serve as an official.
However, Lin Yi intervened halfway, ruining his plan.
Now, as soon as Sun Pingkai stepped out the door, Guo Huaimu stord towards Lin Yi, pointing at his nose and cursed fiercely.
"Just with your diocre Kung Fu skills, you can only deal with my few worthless dogs and cats, and you think you qualify as the Imperial Censor sent by the Emperor in disguise? Pah!"
"Today I declare here, even if the Emperor himself cos, as long as he is in my Jiannan State, he would still need to address as ’Lord’!"
"People say ’the mountains are high and the Emperor is far away,’ but it’s not the sa here in Jiannan State. If the Emperor dares to co here, then don’t expect to leave."
"I want to show him that in Jiannan State, who else holds greater authority than , and who truly is the king."
"Co, whoever captures him, I will reward generously. It’s been long since my black hounds had any at, it’s ti for them to feast."
In other words, those vicious dogs that had just lunged at Lin Yi hadn’t eaten human flesh in quite so ti.
Hearing such utterly rebellious words, Lin Yi felt a chill down his spine, while the other officials bowed their heads in silence.
Lin Yi shook his head, unable to believe the flagrant arrogance of the Inspector of Jiannan State who even wanted to declare himself king.
Such disregard for human lives, utter lawlessness.
’I see your ti as Inspector is coming to an end, so don’t bla for being rude.’
With that thought, Lin Yi took out a row of Flying Needles from his sleeve.
Before Guo Huaimu’s n could approach, Lin Yi sent the Flying Needles flying, making a group of people fall to the ground motionless.
"Inspector Guo, your career is over!"
Having said that, Lin Yi strode away.
Guo Huaimu, now worthless to Lin Yi.
Already in a bad mood, Guo Huaimu exploded in rage after Lin Yi’s curse.
"Truly rebellious! All of you, rember his face well. Tomorrow, have the Master sketch it out, I want him wanted throughout the city and torn to pieces!"
As for Lin Yi, he didn’t care about the frantic Guo Huaimu behind him, and went out to find Sun Pingkai.
There he saw the lonely figure of Sun Pingkai from afar.
"County Magistrate Sun, wait for !"
Perhaps too far away, Sun Pingkai couldn’t hear Lin Yi’s shouting.
Lin Yi mounted the motorcycle, and with the roar of the engine, quickly reached Sun Pingkai’s side.
This startled Sun Pingkai badly.
"Brave man? What is this? What kind of horse is this that can be ridden like this?"
Using the light from the headlights, Sun Pingkai was utterly dumbfounded.
This device had only two wheels, no animal traction, yet it could balance and move forward, a true marvel.
Before Lin Yi could explain, a group of pursuers ard and ferocious charged after Lin Yi.
"I didn’t expect Inspector Guo to have actual soldiers under his command, I thought he relied solely on those vicious dogs for protection."
Sun Pingkai quickly explained, "Those aren’t Inspector Guo’s n. Brave man, you better leave, they’re catching up."
With a hundred ters distance, Lin Yi wasn’t in a rush; he still had half a minute to escape.
It had been a long ti since he’d experienced the thrill of speeding; this would be a good chance.
"County Magistrate Sun, let give you a ride, I have sothing to ask you."
After speaking, Lin Yi draped his robe over Sun Pingkai.
