Ling'er looked timidly at her companions beside her.
"Miss..."
"Call me Young Master!" Zhong Xiaoyan glared at her maid and looked around seriously. After making sure that no one was paying attention to them, she lowered her voice and said, "You must be careful when going out. I taught you before.
Have you forgotten?"
"I...I haven't forgotten." Ling'er shook her head and said, "Sir, why do we come to Qingyang County?"
"Hmph, I heard from people from Liangcheng that the ghost brats under the Ghost King of Liangcheng have now begun to wreak havoc all over Liangzhou. Qingyang County is the next place to suffer!"
"Then we are still coming?" Ling'er's eyes widened.
"It's because of the danger that we came!" Zhong Xiaoyan was quite proud, "Think about how ferocious those ghosts are. In this small county, the demon hunters are probably not very powerful people. If the ghosts really came, wouldn't they just
Can you rely on me to save people?"
"Is that so?" Ling'er curled her lips in a very cryptic manner, and said in an admiring tone, "I thought that the monk only cleared the way to Qingyang County, and there were fierce ghosts elsewhere..."
"Ahem... I don't take this as a mere scoundrel, so naturally I don't take it seriously." After giving her maid a fierce look, Zhong Xiaoyan shouted again in a rough voice: "Where's the waiter?"
"Sir, what would you like to eat?" The waiter trotted over to the table.
"Two pounds of the strongest wine, stir-fry some side dishes, and cut a pound of beef! Hurry up, I'm not short of money!"
"Okay, just wait a moment!"
After the waiter left, Ling'er said in surprise: "Miss, don't you know how to drink?"
"I'll order some for you." Zhong Xiaoyan said matter-of-factly: "When a knight goes out, of course he has to drink. If he doesn't order, won't others see it?"
"But...but I can't drink that much." Ling'er pursed her lips, feeling aggrieved.
Zhong Xiaoyan looked away, pretending not to see her maid.
...
On the second floor.
The topic of Lin Ji and Taoist Ping Xin has already reached the gossip about the Ghost King.
"Brother Lin, do you know about Miss Luo's murder outside Liangcheng?" Taoist Pingxin spoke loudly, obviously drunk.
"Why are you talking about this suddenly?" Lin Ji remained calm.
"Hey, Miss Luo is miserable. She was killed by evil people during her lifetime, and her soul was taken away by the ghost king after her death."
"What?!" Lin Ji's voice suddenly rose, attracting the attention of many people around him.
He apologized repeatedly, and then asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"
"Do you still remember how this city besieged by ten thousand ghosts came about?"
"The Ghost King's son was slaughtered in officialdom... ah?" Lin Ji suddenly reacted, but was a little unbelievable.
"It can't be such a coincidence..."
Taoist Ping Xin chuckled: "That night, the son of the ghost king got the news from nowhere, saying that the daughter of the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty had been killed, and that the lonely wild ghosts were about to disperse on the official road. What are the details?
I don’t know either, but this matter has spread widely in Liangcheng, and Supervisor Tiansi has never denied it.”
"Anyway, the reason why the ghost general appeared on the official road was to capture the soul of the daughter of the prime minister's palace and bring it back to marry him."
"You have become a ghost, do you still want to get married?" Lin Ji felt quite absurd.
"Who says it's not the case? Anyway, I guess he just has the idea that he is the son of the Ghost King and the other party is the daughter of the prime minister. He is a good match."
"That little devil is so respected by the Ghost King that he has become a Ghost General. He still lives like a playboy. It's not surprising that he has any ideas."
Taoist Pingxin drank another glass of wine, and the blush on his face increased even more.
"I estimate that the Ghost King of Liangcheng has not been dealt with by Jian Tiansi to this day, either because he has the soul of the daughter of the prime minister in his hand and asked Jian Tiansi to use it as a weapon, or... there must be a hidden secret in this.
"
Having said this, Taoist Pingxin gave Lin Ji a deep look.
"Jian Tiansi would throw a weapon into a trap because of the soul of a dead person, haha." Lin Ji didn't notice Taoist Pingxin's gaze and said to himself, "Absolutely impossible."
When Supervisor Tiansi handles affairs, he would rather live in ruins than in ruins. Even though Supervisor Tiansi's power is now stretched thin, he will never be so embarrassed.
It's almost as if Luo Xiang himself was arrested, and he had to be alive.
The prime minister's daughter is still a soul, and she also wants to make Jian Tiansi afraid?
impossible.
"Is there anything else going on in Liangcheng?" Lin Ji continued to ask.
"No, that's all I know." Taoist Pingxin yawned. It looked like he was already full.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise downstairs.
"Boy! How dare you steal my things!" A young man in fine clothes grabbed a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old and shouted with his eyes wide open.
"I didn't!" The young man was still insisting, but the satin purse in his hand was obviously not his.
"You bastard, you still have the guts to deny me the stolen goods, just watch!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man punched the young man in the eye.
That kid wasn't one to take advantage of the situation, so he gritted his teeth and started to fight back.
The two soon struggled with each other.
in the corner.
"Miss, there's a fight over there."
"Call me Young Master." Zhong Xiaoyan glared at her maid before saying, "I was caught stealing something. Not only did I not admit my mistake but I dared to fight back. I deserve it."
"Don't care?" Ling'er asked.
"That kid deserves to be beaten."
The two of them were fighting each other, and the entire first floor of Ruyi Building was in a mess, and many guests were ready to leave.
The shopkeeper quickly stopped at the door and shouted: "Don't leave, everyone, Mr. Lin is upstairs. This is a small matter."
It just so happened that Mr. Lin poked his head out at the top of the stairs and watched with interest the two men scuffling below.
As soon as they saw Mr. Lin's presence, everyone left in no hurry and stayed to watch the fun.
Ling'er glanced at the stairs secretly and whispered: "Young Master, the local arrester is here, why don't you arrest someone?"
Zhong Xiaoyan also glanced upstairs and curled her lips disdainfully: "A bad official is just watching the excitement."
At the same time, Taoist Pingxin also asked curiously: "Captain Lin, don't you care about this matter? You said you have to wait until the ordinary police officers arrive?"
"No, let's wait until they get tired of fighting." Lin Ji replied with a smile, "It's rare for someone to fight. It'll be fun to watch, so don't worry."
Taoist Pingxin's expression was stagnant and he wanted to say something, but he held back in the end.
After a while, the two people below seemed to be exhausted.
Seeing this scene, Lin Ji Shi Shiran walked downstairs. Taoist Pingxin also quickly followed behind.
Lin Ji came to the first floor and picked up the half-grown boy who fell on the ground.
This kid's face was bruised and bruised. He was obviously very frightened after seeing Lin Ji, and his whole body was shaking.
"You little bastard, you haven't even grown any hair yet and I'm trying to steal things. If I get your legs broken next time, get out of here!"
Lin Ji kicked the boy out.
The young master behind saw this scene and shouted quickly:
