After Lin Ji satisfied his appetite at Ruyi Building, he showed up at the Yamen and said hello to the county magistrate.
It doesn't matter if they don't get along, but Magistrate Li must know that he is still here.
It's not that they are fighting for power, it's just that the position of the head catcher is quite important and is in charge of the peace of the party.
Maybe County Magistrate Li didn't like him, but he might not have slept well in his absence.
After finishing these trivial matters, Lin Ji returned home and prepared to consolidate his cultivation.
But before he started practicing, he noticed that a monk was coming towards his home in the distance.
This is the wonderful effect of enhancing the five senses.
With a thought in my mind, my spiritual consciousness and extremely sharp senses were combined, and I immediately had a clear idea in my heart.
It is far more flexible than the spiritual eyes in the third realm.
Sure enough, a moment later, there was a knock on the courtyard door.
Lin Ji opened the door and found that the person coming was a strange police officer.
"Is this the policeman Lin of Qingyang County?" the policeman saluted.
"It's me, where are you from?" Lin Ji frowned slightly, a little confused.
"He's from Liangcheng, and he's here to deliver a letter to Capt. Lin."
After the policeman delivered the letter, he asked the county official about the location of the station, and then left.
Lin Ji took the letter and felt a little more uneasy.
"It turns out that this is the source of my uneasiness."
Lin Ji looked at the envelope, and the signature on it was Zhan Chengfeng, an official of Liangzhou Town.
The envelope is a bit heavy, and there seems to be a heavy object inside. I don’t know what the Liangzhou town official’s intention is for suddenly sending him something. Could it be to congratulate him for advancing to the fourth realm?
When he tore open the envelope, a token fell out first.
Lin Ji caught the token, glanced at it, and then his eyes suddenly widened.
"Why is it a beheading order? Or is it golden?"
The lowest-ranking officials of the Supervisor Tiansi received the Order of Beheading.
The silver beheading order held by the seventh-grade head catcher was already owned by Lin Ji. Although the head catcher in Fucheng was one level higher than the head catchers in the following counties and held a sixth-grade official position, it was only a silver beheading order.
There is only one chief arrester in one state. Although he is also at the sixth level, he is holding a golden beheading order.
The chief arrester of a state is in charge of the demon hunting matters in every city and county in a state.
Just like when Lin Ji handled a case in Qingyang County, the files were sent to Liangcheng. After the documents were compiled and sorted, they were finally handed over to the chief arrester for review before they could be included in the files.
Holding the golden beheading order, Lin Ji took out the letter paper from the envelope.
Two in total.
Most of them were words of congratulations, saying that Lin Ji had broken through to the fourth level at a young age and would definitely achieve great things in the future.
"I just left the customs today, and the letter will arrive in the evening. Is there any uncertainty?" Lin Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to look down.
What follows is even more horrifying.
"After seeing this letter, I set off immediately and came to Liangcheng to report on my duties and take up the post of chief arrester of Liangzhou."
"Chief Liangzhou arrester? I'll choke you!" Lin Ji was shocked.
Although the chief arrester of a state is only a sixth-rank officer, there are also fifth-rank wandering star officers, fourth-rank commanders and so on.
Not to mention the third-grade town official.
But the position of chief catcher is far from being as simple as the sixth rank. It is the only way to develop upward in Supervisor Tiansi.
If you want to make a difference in the Supervisory Sky Division, it is far from enough to be highly skilled.
Your experience in dealing with things, how you are as a person, your temperament, etc. will be comprehensively considered.
If it's just a strong person who joins halfway, he might be given the position of a fifth-grade star official, and that's the end of it.
If the direct descendants of Jian Tiansi are not recognized by the people above, the fourth-grade commander is almost at his limit.
Only the chief catcher of a state, a sixth-grade position, can almost be regarded as a candidate for future town officials. The current town officials of each state are basically chief catchers.
There are only nine town officials in all nine states in the world. The town officials with third-grade official positions are also high-ranking officials in the entire Qin Dynasty. To a certain extent, they are more important than the prime minister of a dynasty.
"You want me to be the chief arrester of Liangzhou? This is too soon." Lin Ji's brows furrowed even more tightly.
The uneasiness in his heart reminded him clearly that this matter was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
Soon, Lin Ji saw the end of the letter.
'Don't forget to bring what you're supposed to bring.'
This is a meaningless statement that has no connection with the previous text and has no relationship whatsoever with the entire letter.
But after seeing this sentence, Lin Jicai suddenly reacted.
"That's right! I have broken through to the fourth realm. What Master Xingchi did not explain last time should also be followed up."
Lin Ji realized that the imperial court...or Jian Tiansi was also involved in Master Xingchi's plan.
Otherwise, there is no reason why this letter would be signed with the official seal of the town official Zhan Chengfeng, and a demon hunter with a high level of cultivation would be specially sent to deliver the letter.
"So what is the position of chief catcher? Is it a reward? What kind of things are worth the reward of the position of chief catcher?"
After putting down the letter and putting away the Golden Order, Lin Ji thought for a moment, but after all he couldn't think of a reason, he went back to the house and simply packed some luggage and prepared to set off.
Since the letter stated that he was leaving immediately, he naturally could not delay.
After going to the county government office to say hello, Lin Ji faced the night and left Qingyang County, which he had guarded for many years.
...
Qingyang County is only a hundred miles away from Liangcheng.
Lin Ji walked along the official road. Even though he was not going at full speed, he had already arrived outside Liangcheng at dawn.
Along the way, not a single ghost was seen.
It wasn't until outside Liangcheng that Lin Ji's consciousness could detect the overwhelming ghostly aura surrounding Liangcheng.
This was a ghost energy that was countless times more powerful than the Hundred Ghost Night Walk he had experienced.
"After this incident, even if Liang City is safe and sound in the end, the people in the city will inevitably fall seriously ill or even lose their lives."
Arriving at the gate of the city, he used the beheading order to enter the city.
Before Lin Ji could find a place to stay at the official station, he was stopped by someone.
"Captain Lin." Wu Fei led several of his men to stop Lin Ji.
"Captain Wu, long time no see." Lin Ji smiled and cupped his hands.
"Master Zhan asked me to wait for you here, come with me." Wu Fei had a bit of unkindness on his face, but in the end he didn't have an attack, but there was some reluctance in his tone.
Not only Wu Fei, but also the few police officers following Wu Fei, all of them had bad faces.
Lin Ji was a little confused. He thought he had never provoked Wu Fei before.
With some doubts, Lin Ji followed Wu Fei to the outside of the Liangcheng government office.
Standing outside the gate of the government office, Wu Fei paused.
"Go in by yourself."
"Thank you." Lin Ji thanked him and left.
But just after taking two steps, Wu Fei's voice sounded from behind him again.
"Does Captain Lin know how much trouble the ghost general you killed on the official road caused to Liangcheng last time?"
Lin Chen was startled and turned back to look at Wu Fei.
"I know it."
"you know?"
"Now that Liangcheng has been besieged by thousands of ghosts for a month or so, it is the result of what happened last time." Lin Ji said calmly.
"Oh, since I know, why don't you feel a little ashamed? Do you know how many colleagues died tragically at the hands of ghosts and how many patriots lost their lives in Liangcheng just because of your recklessness?"
"So?" Lin Ji asked.
This question made Wu Fei stunned.
"What's so, this isn't enough?"
Lin Ji chuckled twice.
"As a demon hunter, what's wrong with killing a ghost?"
