In the blink of an eye, a week has passed since Zhou Qian's wedding.
The lives of the people in Qingyang County have returned to their usual calm.
After experiencing the Zhou family's generosity, many people were talking about whether such an experience would happen again when Zhou Qian gave birth to a child.
During this period of time, Lin Ji rarely had any leisure time and had been practicing at home, but he was still close to breaking through to the fourth realm.
In the early morning, before dawn, a hurried knock on the door interrupted Lin Ji's practice.
"Captain Lin, something happened!"
Lin Ji quickly walked out of the house and opened the courtyard door.
He was a police officer from the county government when he came.
"Captain, please go to the Yamen and have a look. Old Qiao is a ghost."
"A ghost?" Lin Ji's expression froze.
Lao Qiao is the watchman in the county. In the middle of the night, when everyone is sleeping soundly, he is the one who beats a gong and shouts.
Logically speaking, Lao Qiao would never leave the county, but in the county... this is not Liangcheng. Where did the ghost come from at night?
Lao Qiao has been on the watch all his life and has never had any problems.
After sending away the policeman, Lin Ji returned home, dressed neatly, and hurried to the county government office.
On the way, I also met Lu Cong, who lived not far away and had just been woken up by someone.
Guo Yi has arrived with the sleepy Ayane.
These two people came down from the sect to gain experience and did not buy real estate in Qingyang County, so they lived next to the Yamen.
"Zhou Qian...forget it." Seeing that only Zhou Qian had not arrived, Lin Ji didn't bother to talk to him.
Arriving at the lobby of the Yamen, Lao Qiao's body was placed on a wooden board. His eyes were wide open and his mouth was tightly closed, but there were faint blood stains on his lips from being bitten by himself.
"He's not dead yet, but he's coming soon." Wuzuo Lao Xing looked sad. Lao Qiao was his lifelong friend. How could he accept it calmly when he saw his friend in trouble.
"My condolences." Lin Ji patted Lao Xing's shoulder and looked at Lao Qiao.
At the same time, Guo Yi also spoke from the side: "The lips are blue, the body is stiff, and the life is gone... It is indeed a recruitment of ghosts to harm people."
Lin Ji nodded.
Lao Xing reached out and pinched Lao Qiao's chin.
A strange smell suddenly came out.
Lin Ji frowned and looked at Lao Xing in confusion.
"what happened?"
"I don't know anything about monsters, but my breath smells so bad, and what Agent Guo said before, I should be frightened to death."
While talking, Lao Qiao breathed his last.
Lao Xing sighed, stretched out his hand and closed Lao Qiao's eyes.
"Who discovered this?" Lin Ji asked.
"The police patrolling the streets at night said they saw Lao Qiao lying on the side of the road and thought he was sick, but when they pulled him back they realized something was wrong." Guo Yi said, and then frowned, "How could there be ghosts in the county?
?To be able to harm people so unscrupulously, even in the middle of the night, is a terrible thing to say the least."
Lin Ji thought so too.
Most of the ordinary ghosts and wild ghosts have recently died and still have spiritual intelligence.
This kind of little ghost will dissipate in a short time, and naturally he will not harm anyone, just like the Miss Luo he met by chance.
But if the ghost starts to practice ignorantly, such as ingesting the vitality of animals or people, it will begin to transform into a powerful ghost.
He lost all his intelligence and turned into a ghost, leaving only the instinct to hunt for life.
Ghost soldiers are extremely weak. Although they can harm people, they will not dare to approach young people with sufficient yang energy.
However, the county town is full of living people. How can the little devils dare to enter the city easily? At most, they will kill a few rabbits in the mountains and fields.
Further up, there are fierce ghosts.
"But as for the ghosts... we are not far from Liangcheng. Aren't all the nearby ghosts defecting to the ghost king of Liangcheng? How could they harm people in Qingyang County?" Lin Ji couldn't figure it out.
It would have been fine before, there would occasionally be a few ghosts causing trouble in Qingyang County.
But at the current pass, Liangcheng is besieged by thousands of ghosts, and the ghost king of Liangcheng has restrained his men. There are no evil ghosts running around.
Guo Yi and others couldn't figure it out either, but no matter what, the matter had to be resolved.
Lin Ji glanced outside the hall and saw that it was already bright.
"Don't rest at night these days, just patrol the county town." Lin Ji ordered, "The evil ghost is only in the second level at most, and Ayane can deal with it, so there is no need to panic."
"Lu Cong, you are only in the first level. Be careful. If you encounter one, just scream. We will arrive soon."
"Yes." Lu Cong nodded.
Ayane suddenly asked: "What if it's not a fierce ghost but a ghost general?"
Lin Ji glanced at Ling Yin and laughed dumbly, too lazy to explain.
"If it was a ghost general, Lao Qiao wouldn't be alive now." Guo Yi whispered from the side.
"Okay, let's arrange it like this." Lin Ji waved his hands to send everyone away, but found that only Lu Cong had left. Lingyin and Guo Yi seemed to have something to say.
"You want to see me?" Lin Ji found a chair and sat down casually. Before the two of them could speak, he asked again, "Where is Zhou Qian? It's been so long and he hasn't come yet?"
While he was talking, footsteps sounded outside the hall.
Zhou Qian quickly walked into the lobby.
"I said, even if you are newlyweds, you are not a young boy who has just experienced human affairs, right?" Lin Ji said helplessly.
A slight smile appeared on Zhou Qian's face, and then his expression turned solemn.
"Captain Lin, this is my resignation."
"Resignation? Are you quitting?" Lin Ji took the resignation and frowned, "Zhou Qian, I haven't scolded you before, right? I know you don't have this ambition, so if there are dangerous things, I will let you do it."
Mixed."
"Yes, Zhou Qian has taken care of Captain Lin." Zhou Qian nodded quickly and explained, "I am going to move away with my wife and go to Xiangzhou."
"Move away? Don't you care about your father?"
"My father is always getting stronger, haha, my second mother is pregnant." Zhou Qian smiled helplessly.
Lin Ji was really surprised this time.
Mr. Zhou must be over fifty years old, and your Zhou family has a tradition.
Lin Ji accepted his resignation, thought for a moment, and said after careful consideration: "If you want to leave, I won't stop you, but your wife..."
"As expected, you can tell. Yes, Xiaomei is a monk." Zhou Qian did not hide it, "Xiaomei is a disciple of the Hehuan Sect. Because the Hehuan Sect is in Xiangzhou, I am planning to move there with her."
"Hehuan Sect?"
Lin Ji thought for a moment, frowned and said: "Why did the disciples of the Hehuan Sect come to Liangzhou? And even went to a brothel..."
"It's not convenient for me to tell you the inside story, but if you insist on knowing..."
"No, as long as it doesn't harm the people, I don't really want to hear it." Lin Ji shook his head and waved his hand, "Okay, if you want to leave, just leave quickly."
Zhou Qian bowed deeply and said solemnly: "Boss, I wish you a bright future and a prosperous military fortune."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Qian left quickly.
Lin Ji sighed softly, his staff were already lacking in manpower and the quality was worrying, but now another one was gone.
Then he looked at Guo Yi and Lingyin on the side.
"What happened to you two? You two have to submit your resignation, right?"
As soon as the words were spoken, Ayane handed over a letter coquettishly.
