The Chidingzi in front of him was clearly extremely weak, but the ghost energy around him suddenly overflowed.
The uncultivated government officials nearby fell down one after another, and County Magistrate Chen was only able to survive because of the cow's head protecting him.
Lin Ji stood up and shouted: "What do you want to do?!"
But before he finished speaking, Chidingzi suddenly made a 'bang' sound and his soul exploded.
The strong wind roared, sweeping the entire Yamen into chaos. Lin Ji remained motionless in the wind, with a look of incomparable surprise on his face.
He could sense that this Chidingzi was indeed dead, his soul was scattered, and there was no room left for him.
But this death was a bit too simple, and he hadn't finished his question yet.
"Brother Lin, this..."
"It's so strange. Is it really that simple?" Lin Ji couldn't understand.
But Chidingzi was already in a state of despair. Lin Ji thought for a while and could only come to Tang Li and slap him.
But this slap did not wake him up. He was still unconscious and sleeping soundly in the lobby.
"I poisoned him." Huang Cui stretched out his hand, and a flying insect with wings landed on Tang Li, and then bit him.
Immediately afterwards, Tang Li slowly woke up.
"I am..."
"You have been arrested. This is the Sishui County Yamen. Your senior Chidingzi has disappeared..." Lin Ji finished explaining the matter in a few words.
Seeing Tang Li stunned and at a loss, Lin Jize said bluntly: "You answer whatever I ask, or if you don't tell me, I'll break your legs."
After the words fell, before Tang Li could speak, Lin Ji raised his foot and stepped on his knee.
Click.
"Ahhh!"
The severe pain finally made Tang Li wake up. Looking at Lin Ji who was smiling at him, he shivered for no reason.
He wanted to take action, but found that the spiritual energy in his body could not be activated at all.
His cultivation, which he was usually complacent and proud of, was of no use at this time.
After several attempts, he finally looked at Lin Ji in despair.
Holding back the pain at the broken knee, he asked in a cold sweat: "You haven't... asked why you did it?"
"I'm afraid you think I'm scaring you, so I'll give you a warning first." Lin Ji grinned, but this smile looked extremely sinister to Tang Li.
Sure enough, after taking the sample, it became easier to ask questions.
Soon, Tang Li explained everything he knew.
Similar to Qi Zheng's experience, he also started to dream inexplicably, and then discovered that the people who died in the dream would die in the same way in reality.
But unlike Qi Zheng, every time he appears at the scene of a dead person, his cultivation will increase.
"It was the old ghost Chidingzi who gave me the skills to practice. He told me that I didn't have to do anything. I just had to go to the scene every time I dreamed about a dead person. Apart from that, I didn't do anything else. Please be careful.
"
Lin Ji was speechless as he looked at Tang Li who was kneeling on the ground.
"Conspiracy with ghosts is also called doing nothing?"
"Sir, I am greedy for life and afraid of death. I dare not disobey that ghost..."
"Why don't you report it to the official?"
"this..."
Seeing that Tang Li was speechless, Lin Ji sneered and said: "You are obviously just coveting the ghost's means to improve your own cultivation. It is the same crime to help the evil tyrants."
Lin Ji asked again: "What does the casino have to do with you and Chidingzi?"
Hearing this, Tang Li looked left and right.
This gesture made Lin Ji anxious, and he stepped forward to take action.
Seeing Lin Ji's impatient look, Tang Li hurriedly kowtowed and said: "If I come back to you, sir, the casino doesn't have much to do with it. It's just that the young man followed the trick given by that old ghost Chi Dingzi. We set up formations to disturb people's minds."
"What, you still help the casino win money? You also make a profit from it?"
"No...it was Xiaosheng who couldn't bear it. He thought that people would die anyway, so it would be better to kill some gamblers, so he set up the formation."
Hearing this, Lin Ji laughed angrily.
"Joseph, you still have some conscience and know not to harm good people?"
After asking this, Lin Ji felt that there was nothing he had missed, so he looked at the cow head.
"Your Sishui County government office is also responsible for not investigating this matter. I will catch the cow's head and give you a chance to make meritorious deeds."
"Escort this kid to Beijing and send him to the prison of Jingzhou Prefecture."
"I obey my orders."
In fact, it stands to reason that Lin Ji should escort him personally, but he is mainly lazy.
It's really troublesome to bring an oil bottle back to Beijing.
At the same time, the Yamen Master on the side also recorded the documents of the court trial and handed them to Lin Ji.
Lin Ji took a look at it twice, and after confirming that it was correct, he said, "Give it to him as a pledge."
After Tang Li signed the document, Lin Ji put away the documents and yawned.
Dreaming every night for several days is really not a good experience.
If I hadn't won a large sum of money, I would have really suffered a lot on this mission.
Lin Ji looked outside the lobby and saw that it was still raining.
"It's really strange. It's been raining for how many days." With some curiosity, Lin Ji looked at Niu Baotou and County Magistrate Chen again.
“Was the weather in Surabaya County also like this before?”
"That's not true. This is the first time we have seen such heavy rain." Niu Captou said.
"When something goes wrong, there must be a monster." Lin Ji thought for a moment and then looked at Huang Cui.
"Brother Lin?"
"After being out for so long, it's time to return to Beijing." Lin Ji said.
Huang Cui is indispensable.
Lin Ji didn't want to stay in Sishui County any longer, mainly because he was afraid of trouble.
But just when he and Huang Cui walked out of the lobby, he suddenly stopped and looked at Tang Li behind him, who had been helped to stand on one foot.
"Your mentor Fang Xiucai was rejuvenated. Is this your method?"
Tang Li was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes... I used spiritual energy to sort out the teacher's energy and blood."
"Is it just like this?" Lin Ji asked again.
"Also, Chidingzi once gave me a fruit, saying it could prolong life, but it was of no use to him, so he gave it to me." Tang Li said, "I am still young, but the teacher has only a few years to live, so I gave it to him. I gave the fruit to the teacher."
"So that's it. Okay, you respect your teacher." Lin Ji nodded and grinned, "I'll ask Niu Baotou to take you to say hello to Fang Xiucai. After you arrive in Beijing, you won't be able to do anything for a few days." Alive."
Lin Ji conspired with ghosts to kill hundreds of people, and Lin Ji couldn't think of any way Tang Li could avoid being beheaded.
As soon as Tang Li heard this, his legs suddenly became weak.
Lin Ji stopped caring about him and left the county government office with Huang Cui.
"The rain is getting heavier and heavier."
...
Sishui County, private school.
Fang Xiucai was lying on the couch under the eaves, looking in the direction of the county government office.
There were some footsteps behind him, it was his wife Hu'er.
