The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

Chapter 20 Tracker

According to the standards of the earth, the security situation in Sea Cliff City is not good.Although the cultivators of the Haiya Sect took the initiative to maintain the basic order of the city, they did so only for meritorious deeds, and did not really intend to serve the people wholeheartedly.

For cultivators whose time is precious, cultivating merit often takes up precious time in retreat.

Therefore, in the implementation of merit cultivation, practitioners often have cost-effective considerations—that is, how to pay the lowest time cost and obtain the best merit cultivation effect.

For example, the Lingshi Reserve Bank is in charge of the financial lifeline of Kyushu. It only needs to pass a certain monetary policy decision, which will affect the livelihood and well-being of hundreds of millions of people. This is obviously the most efficient way for cultivators to accumulate merit, similar to the Lingshi Reserve Bank Monetary Policy Committee For such a key position as a committee member, even the great monks in the Nascent Soul stage will actively fight for it.

And such merits as cleaning the snow on the road are very meager, but they are better than convenient and quick public services, so only monks in the Qi refining period are willing to do it, and even monks in the foundation building period will not waste time and energy on this kind of work.

As for things like catching petty theft and street fights, which have meager merit and are very troublesome to do, no cultivator is willing to do them at all, and it is almost enough to hire a few ordinary clerks to take care of them casually.

One can imagine the actual effect of this kind of light law enforcement in fighting crime.

Therefore, although Haiya faction cultivators personally sit in Haiya City, there will be no major disturbances, but small-scale mortal crimes emerge in endlessly. The poor gunman whose legs were broken and almost died on the street is the best. illustration.

Even if this is the case for mortals to commit crimes, no one cares about the crimes committed by practitioners.Even if a mortal is killed in public by a cultivator, the Haiya City Lord's Mansion will not come forward to deal with it.

Anyway, when a cultivator kills, what is deducted is the murderer's own merits of heaven, and it has no direct relationship with Haiya City Lord's Mansion.

As long as the murderer doesn't go too far and cause widespread panic in the mortal society, since everyone is a cultivator, the Haiya City Lord's Mansion will turn a blind eye and close one eye.

Although he is also a mortal with a cultivator in the background, Chen Ping is not his nanny, so it is impossible to follow him for personal protection at any time. In addition, he just offended the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce yesterday. If he is beaten by criminals, He has nowhere to reason!

It is precisely because of his clear awareness of this point that Yang Lu has always paid great attention to his own personal safety.

Although he is not an expert in the field of anti-stalking, Sea Cliff City obviously does not have any masters in the field of tracking.

After the heavy snowfall on the streets of Haiya City, the traffic was not too heavy, but there were always strangers not far behind him, which made him suspicious.

A normal stalker would never wear a black suit and big sunglasses like those in the movie, for fear that others would not know that he was a lawbreaker.As long as you are not the kind of stalker who is too stupid to be hopeless, you know that you should try to dress as ordinary as possible, try not to look directly at the other person, and try to cover your gaze with a more low-key way than sunglasses.

Feeling someone suspected of following him, Yang Lu's spirit immediately tensed up.Considering that he was leading Murong on the road, it was obviously inappropriate to suddenly turn around and look at the passers-by.

Since the other party chooses to follow instead of directly attacking, it means that the situation has not escalated to that level. If the other party takes drastic measures on the spot because of his behavior of scaring the grass, it will be self-defeating.

Scanning casually on both sides of the road, Yang Lu set his sights on a bun shop that just opened for business.

He decided to do some secret exploration first!

"Murong, let me buy you a steamed bun."

Murong didn't understand Yang Lu's real intention, and said blankly, "Mr. Yang, I ate a lot last night, and I'm not hungry at all!"

Yang Lu just smiled and patted her head: "You are still growing, you can't do without breakfast!"

Before Murong could answer, he walked to the steamed stuffed bun shop on his own, and naturally turned his body sideways: "Boss, how do you sell steamed stuffed buns?"

While asking questions, he quickly noticed from the corner of his eye that two passers-by not far behind him also stopped.Seeing this strange reaction, Yang Lu already seriously suspected that the two of them were the ones who followed him specially!

It's just that these two stalkers are obviously not very professional, and they will follow him in unison, instead of following him alternately for cover. This professional level is better than that of an amateur anti-stalker.

In order to confirm, Yang Lu deliberately dawdled in the bun shop for a long time.

He first took out a huge bill of 10 yuan Lingshi coins, deliberately making the owner of the self-employed steamed stuffed bun shop unable to find change, and deliberately used a very high voice to complain that the boss even found mere 10 yuan Lingshi coins. not open.

Then he pretended to dig out his pockets for a long time, but he couldn't get any change, so he had no choice but to ask Murong to pay himself first.

Murong witnessed Yang Lu's checkout process in Haiya Pavilion yesterday, and knew that he had change.Although she couldn't figure out why Mr. Yang suddenly took a fancy to her hard-earned money from selling newspapers, she still pitifully handed the few coupons in her pocket to the owner of the bun shop.

Seeing that Yang Lu was very rich, yet he wanted the girl beside him to pay the bill, the owner of the steamed stuffed bun shop looked at him in the wrong way.He opened his mouth to say something, but in order not to cause trouble for himself, he finally gave up the idea of ​​meddling.

Murong wanted to defend Mr. Yang, but he didn't know where to start, his face was flushed red.

Yang Lu didn't notice the silent communication between Murong and the owner of the steamed stuffed bun shop. He found himself dawdling for a long time, and the two passers-by behind him didn't move, and he was sure that he was being followed.

However, the other party has no intention of doing anything, probably because he has not figured out his own details.

The guests of Haiya Pavilion are either rich or expensive. Since these two people have been following them since they left Haiya Pavilion, it is normal to have scruples about their identities.

In this way, the trip to the Qingning Chamber of Commerce becomes even more important.Only by getting the endorsement of Qingning Chamber of Commerce, an important business force in Haiya City, can these youngsters be completely deterred.

Seeing that Murong was holding the steamed stuffed buns with his hard-earned money, he seemed a little reluctant to say anything, so Yang Lu casually took out a few coins and stuffed them into her pocket, and then said softly: "Let's go to the Qingning Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible, and leave as many people as possible." You often sell newspapers in the city, so you must know where the most people are!"

Even though she didn't know what Yang Lu wanted to do, the girl who sold the newspaper still nodded confidently and said, "If you want to ask where there are more people, no one in the entire Haiya City knows better than me!"

After following Murong through the dense crowd for about 10 minutes, the newspaper seller stopped on her own initiative: "Mr. Yang, this is the headquarters of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce!"

Looking in the direction of Murong's finger, a magnificent classical house appeared in front of Yang Lu.

There is an open space in front of the house, where there are two statues of monsters with strange shapes. The newly painted lintel of the gate reads "Qingning Chamber of Commerce" in big characters. It seems that it has just been renovated. The Qingning Chamber of Commerce seemed quite deserted, only occasionally people came in and out through the gate.

Yang Lu deliberately dawdled for a while at the entrance of Qingning Chamber of Commerce. After making sure that the two stalkers followed, he swaggered towards the main entrance of Qingning Chamber of Commerce.
