Chapter 494: Time is Ticking
readx;
Trying to keep himself awake for a moment, Lin Dong gave up. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Just now, he also overwhelmed the sect masters and elders of the twenty-one sects, and it was really difficult for him to jump out of the excitement at this time. There is no way, these are the sect masters and elders of the twenty-one sects, and there are even two major sects among them.
"Ma Chun, do you have any solution?" Lin Dong had to pin his hopes on Ma Chun.
Ma Chun smiled bitterly: "It's nothing more than letting it fall again, or rather, let the Jingya send someone to seal it, otherwise, this is a dead knot." ”
"Is there any restaurant that has any relationship with the family, or which family does that group of people have a relationship with?" Lin Dong shook his head, the two methods Ma Chun said were both to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and even put Lin Ji Inn into a situation where its reputation plummeted. If you really want to do this, Lin Kee Inn will really fall into a dead knot.
"The children of the family are also people, and many of them like food, and those top restaurants are more or less related to the family. But after checking and checking, there is no one who is closely related. Ma Chun said helplessly: "That kind of identity is also very strange, I specially spent a lot of money to invite the children of a well-connected family to take a look, no one knows, let alone which family, people can even guarantee that this group of people is not the power of the capital at all." I doubt ......"
"Mountain bandits?" Lin Dong was shocked.
Ma Chun nodded slowly.
Lin Dong's head is big, if he is really a mountain bandit, this fun is not as big as ordinary.
If you really want to talk about it, the mountain bandits are also a kind of force that is beyond the imperial power, just like the sect. It's just that this force is too small, and even if it is destroyed like a weed, it will grow again, so the Great Han Kingdom will turn a blind eye to this force as it does to the sect.
In terms of strength, even if it is a cottage entrenched near the capital, the largest mountain bandit leader, is only remarkable, and he only has the strength of one or two times in the heart reversal period. With the strength of Lin Ji Inn, it is naturally not difficult to destroy a cottage, but the premise is that he has to know what the name of this cottage is.
Otherwise, killing a few bandits will definitely attract more bandits. Lin Ji Inn is the most crowded place, up to the officials and nobles, sect disciples, down to the peddlers and pawns, it is normal to enter the Lin Ji Inn to eat, and you can't always see a martial artist enter the door and catch one.
If you ignore it and get mixed in by mountain bandits, the consequences will be unimaginable.
There is no doubt that knowing the identity of the bandits is the key to solving the troubles, and even ...... Lin Dongdun had some understanding, whether such ruthless warriors were mountain bandits or people, and their identities were the key to the key.
Lin Dong's head was a little dizzy again, the mountain bandits were all outlaws, and they must have received orders not to leak secrets before they came, even if they were all arrested, I am afraid they might not be able to force them to ask the answers they wanted.
After hesitating, Lin Dong still spoke: "Ask Emperor Qianwei early tomorrow morning to see if he can do a favor." ”
"Please ask him to help Tianwei Pavilion find out who is behind the scenes?" Ma Chun asked.
"There's no hurry to investigate the mastermind behind the scenes, but if those people are mountain bandits, their identities must be found out in the shortest possible time." Lin Dong Zhengse.
"Why don't I ask now?" Ma Chun asked.
Lin Dong shook his head: "Running over in the middle of the night, Yang Shun is not easy to do." If he had agreed to do such a strange thing with his surname, it would have been easy to guess that it had something to do with us. If he doesn't agree...... It's all in vain to go. ”
Ma Chun nodded and hesitated: "Then just watch the opening next door?" ”
"Anyway, it's too late overnight, wait until tomorrow to see what they do." Lin Dong was helpless, even if he knew about this in advance, it made him feel like he didn't know what to do. In terms of business, only soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, see what means the other party uses, and then want to resist passively. Only when the true identity of those people is found can there be a possibility of counterattacking, otherwise, they can only passively block it.
With an answer, Ma Chun wanted to leave, remembering the reason why Lin Dong left, and couldn't help asking: "Shopkeeper, how is the matter of Lizong?" ”
"If you don't say it, I almost forgot to explain, the matter of establishing the sect has been done." Lin Dong also remembered, and ordered: "You arrange some manpower, on the one hand, to build the sect, and on the other hand, to raise all kinds of spiritual materials, spirit pills, and spirit beasts that can be taken out and sold...... I believe that in three to five days, the news of the establishment of the sect will be spread, that is, it will be opened in three or five days. ”
"What's the name of the store?" Ma Chun asked.
"Let's call it Wanbao Zhai!" Lin Dong casually said the name of the store he had already thought of.
"Okay, I'll arrange someone to set a good signboard when I have time, and if the shopkeeper doesn't have any other instructions, I'll go back first?" Ma Chun asked.
"Go ahead!" Lin Dong waved his hand.
When Ma Chun left, Lin Dong chatted with Yun Lan for a few words, and also broke up at the door.
When Yun Lan returned to the room, Lin Dong did not go back to cultivate, but sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard, and kept recalling the previous situation at the Great Sky Peak Establishment Ceremony in his head. The elders of the twenty-one sects, although they all went through the motions, but the two battles with Zhang Quanyue and Hao Qingfeng were real swords and guns. The time may not be long, but for Lin Dong, who lacks actual combat experience, it is precious.
Over and over again, constantly rehearsing the situation in his mind, Lin Dong kept thinking about how to crack the two major spiritual skills of Fengyun Sect and Lingjue Sect with the strength of the Seven Layers of Heart Reversal Period, and improve it little by little.
After a long time, Lin Dong stood up. There is indeed an irreparable gap between the sevenfold heart reversal period and the ninefold heart reversal period, but if he meets Hao Qingfeng and Zhang Quanyue again, with the strength of the heart reversal period, he is confident that he will not be defeated in just a few moves, at least, it will not be a problem to last for half an hour.
Back in the room, Lin Dong sat down cross-legged on the wooden bed, but did not choose to settle down, but let the spiritual power run through the meridians on his own. In his mind, he was thinking about the trouble of the inn.
This trouble is not big, but it is not small. With the current strength of Lin Kee Inn, Lin Dong is confident that he can not be afraid of any enemy, but it is even more difficult to keep his business from being affected.
It's like opening the same Lin Ji Inn next door, whether it is through official or military force, or going to the door to get something that the inn next door can't imitate, these things are all palliative, and they can't stop the other party's next move. No matter what, the enemy behind the scenes, whether it is Tu Yinzi or the characteristics of the Tulin Inn, will sooner or later reveal clues that can detect the true identity of the other party. As long as the identity of the other party is checked, even if it is a relative of the emperor, Lin Dong has absolute confidence that the other party will not be able to eat and walk around. During the period when the identity of the other party was found, the business of Lin Ji Inn was seriously damaged, but it was unavoidable.
What he really wants to save is the time to find out the identity of the other party. The sooner it is found, the lower the loss of the Lin Kee Inn can be, and if it encounters a loss of reputation, it is a loss that cannot be compensated by any compensation. To achieve the current scale and reputation of Lin Ji Inn, it is already second only to the hard power of the inn.
However, no matter how Lin Dong racked his brains, he thought of many countermeasures, but he couldn't think of any way to turn passive into active. After thinking about it, I still have to find out the identity of those ruthless people.
The next morning, there was a knock at the door.
Standing outside the door was Ma Chun.
And the news brought by Ma Chun made Lin Dong's head tighten a little more all night, and there was even a feeling that the house leak was raining overnight.
Emperor Qianwei has already promised to let Tianwei Pavilion investigate the identities and masterminds of those ruthless people. But his estimate of the time is at least three months, and if it is high, it may even take one or two years.
Lin Dong found that he had missed one thing, that is, how much the investigation level of the Tianwei Pavilion Scout Building had been deified.
The level of investigation in the scout building of Tianwei Pavilion can indeed be called more than ninety percent of the success rate, but the people in the scout building are not immortals, they are inferred and traced little by little, rather than pinching their fingers and calculating the results.
In order to find out the identity of those ruthless people, the scout Lou had to send someone to secretly follow them, observe their every move and living habits, and then judge their approximate identity and origin. Then, according to this approximate identity and origin, the scope of investigation is delineated. Then, in this area, secret posts are constantly arranged, responsible for finding out the general identity and origin of these people in the vicinity, and then send it back to the main building for special personnel to study, so as to continuously narrow the scope.
At least three months, at most one or two years, in this world without any high-tech, and without any information from the other party, it is actually enough to call it a god's speed.
But for Lin Kee Inn, for three months, or even a year or two, the daylily is cold. With this time, it is better to close the door for a period of time and directly lead out the mastermind behind the scenes.
But even Tianwei Pavilion takes so long, what does Lin Ji Inn do to find out the identity of these mountain bandits and the mastermind behind it?
"Has the other party opened for business?" Lin Dong asked with a dark face.
"Not yet, I guess it's the same time we opened." Ma Chun said helplessly.
"Check it out!"
Lin Dong walked out of the door, and the time when Lin Ji Inn opened for business was not far away.
Walking all the way through the back door, on the street, although none of the shops along the street have yet opened, there are already many vendors on both sides of the street who are setting up their stalls. And in the middle of the street, there are also a few early risers.
Lin Dong glanced at the side of the inn, and there was already a little anger in his eyes.
The same gate, the same threshold, the same signboard...... Even the width and shape of the door panel are exactly the same, and even the scar on one of the door panels is the same.
It is also difficult to distinguish between the old and the new.
If he hadn't remembered that the right side of the Lin Ji Inn was a fake Lin Ji Inn, Lin Dong had no doubt that he would not be able to tell which one was the real Lin Ji Inn.
Pedestrians on the street also seem to have discovered the strangeness of the two Lin Kee Inns. One by one, they stopped and carefully distinguished, and it took a long time because one of them remembered that there was a silk shop next to Lin Ji Inn, so they really figured out which one was newly opened with the signboards on both sides.
