Looking at the dying Kong Lingxuan on the bed, County Magistrate Kong's face turned gloomy to the extreme.
His breathing was a little heavy.
The doctor beside the bed stood up sweating profusely and bowed deeply to Magistrate Kong.
"Master Kong, your son's body is covered with external injuries. Although the person who attacked him was ruthless, he still had some leeway. As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to break the muscles and bones, and within three or two months, your son may not be able to get out of bed. But in
After this, there shouldn’t be any sequelae.”
Hearing this, Magistrate Kong nodded in a low voice and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Liu."
"Where is it?"
The doctor left quickly.
Magistrate Kong's eyes fell on the other side of the room, where the head catcher Guo Yi was taking a break to drink tea.
When facing Capt. Guo, he was not so polite.
"You loser! You were there at that time, how dare you let someone hurt my son?"
Magistrate Kong was quite angry. He raised his finger and pointed at Guo Yi's nose. When he was about to speak again, Guo Yi suddenly stood up.
This scene shocked Magistrate Kong. He was a civil servant, not a monk. If Guo Yi wanted to fall out, he couldn't stop him.
"You...what do you want to do? Want to do the following?!"
"Huh, arresting heads belongs to the Supervisor. If I don't give you face, you can't do anything about me." Guo Yi sneered, shook his head and said, "I've had enough these days. I already had it earlier.
I submitted my resignation to Liang Cheng. I have already given you face by sending your prodigal son. You can handle this matter yourself. From now on, you'd better be more respectful."
After the words fell, Guo Yi's face showed a somewhat relieved smile, and then he turned around and left without looking back.
Seeing this scene, County Magistrate Kong was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he was speechless.
Until Guo Yi's figure disappeared completely, Magistrate Kong in the room breathed a sigh of relief, and his previous angry look suddenly disappeared completely.
He sat down and said to the back of the room: "Mr. Wei, my son is your apprentice, you must give me an explanation."
After a while, the door opened.
A skinny middle-aged man walked out of the house. This man's eyes were so gloomy that people would shudder just by looking at him.
He sat down next to Magistrate Kong, twitched his lips, and looked at Kong Lingxuan, who was unconscious on the bed.
"This boy is not good at academics. He has been with me for more than half a year, and he is only at the second level of cultivation. It is normal for him to be crippled... What the doctor just said is right, but it is just a flesh wound. He has a monk
The foundation is good, half a month is enough to heal, it’s not a big problem.”
Magistrate Kong shook his head and said, "I'm talking about the bastard who hurt my son! I want him to pay the price!"
"Don't worry, I will go even if you don't tell me." Mr. Wei grinned sinisterly and said, "This guy is my carefully selected disciple, how can I allow others to hurt him?"
After hearing this, County Magistrate Kong nodded with satisfaction and said: "There is also Guo Yi just now! Please Mr. Wei kill him too! This person relied on Zhan Chengfeng's background to fight against others in the county.
My orders were obeyed and violated... Huh, just a little catcher, Supervisor Tiansi is now a member of the royal family, who does he think he dares to challenge me?"
"The person named Guo is from the Qingcheng faction. If he dies and the Qingcheng faction tracks him down, things will be in trouble." Mr. Wei shook his head and said.
He is not afraid of offending Zhan Chengfeng, but he has some scruples about the Qingcheng Sect.
Qingyang County was too close to the Qingcheng Sect, and he didn't want to take risks.
After finishing his words, before Magistrate Kong could speak again, Mr. Wei suddenly stood up, and then a burst of black smoke appeared. When the smoke dissipated, his figure had disappeared.
Seeing this scene, Magistrate Kong's eyes were filled with envy.
"This is what a monk is capable of... What a pity."
If you have talent, who wouldn't want to become a monk?
Magistrate Kong looked at Kong Lingxuan on the bed with some regret.
"Fortunately, my son is lucky and has the talent of a monk, which can be put to great use."
While muttering in a low voice, County Magistrate Kong's face became a little gloomier.
"The Imperial Supervisor in Beijing is a bunch of rubbish. He actually said that my son has no talent for cultivation? If he hadn't met Mr. Wei, I'm afraid my son would have been delayed by those rubbish! Hmph!"
...
At noon.
In Lin Ji's small courtyard, smoke rose for the first time in a long time.
In the kitchen, Lin Ji was wearing a coat and an apron, and was busy in front of the stove.
"It's a pity that many of the ingredients I prepared when I was in Qingyang County are gone, so I can only make some simple meals for lunch." Lin Ji said with some regret while cutting vegetables.
Lu Zhaoer moved a stool and sat at the door of the kitchen, his eyes slightly bent with a smile, and he quietly listened to the sound of 'Dududu' chopping vegetables inside.
While Lin Ji was busy, a figure suddenly appeared at the gate of the small courtyard.
It was Guo Yi who was carrying a bag and a woman in her early thirties.
"Lin Ji, Guo Yi is here." Lu Zhaoer called.
She had followed Lin Ji to Qingyang County to check the eucalyptus papers, so she naturally remembered Guo Yi.
"It's Lu Youxing." Guo Yi didn't know the relationship between Lin Ji and Lu Zhaoer, and he was a little surprised to see Lu Zhaoer at this time.
After a while, Lin Ji poked his head out of the kitchen, holding a kitchen knife in his hand.
He looked at Guo Yi, then smiled at the woman and said, "Sister-in-law is here too... Lao Guo, are you leaving today?"
"My resignation has been submitted. Now that I am no longer a member of the Supervisory Office, there is no need to stay in Qingyang County anymore." Guo Yi said with a smile, "Besides, my wife misses my children, so after discussing it, we decided to go back today.
Go to Qingcheng Mountain."
"Don't leave in a hurry. Let's have lunch together. We happen to be out of meat. Go buy me two kilograms of pork belly."
Guo Yi responded, leaving his wife in the small courtyard while he went out.
Everything was just like it was three years ago when Lin Ji was still on duty in Qingyang County.
About half an hour later, Lu Zhaoer set the dining table in the small courtyard.
"Stewed pork ribs, braised pork, and simply fried a few vegetables, that's it." Lin Ji walked out of the kitchen with the vegetables and said, "Have two cups at noon, and I'll put it into practice for you."
"Okay." Guo Yi naturally had no reason to refuse.
Soon, a table of delicious, delicious and delicious dishes was served, as well as the soy sauce beef that Guo Yi bought from the county restaurant. He remembered Lin Ji's favorite.
Just when everyone was about to start eating, suddenly, a gloomy voice sounded outside the door.
"Oh, who injured my disciple at Minghua Tower last night?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Wei, who was skinny and wearing a gray robe, slowly walked into the small courtyard with his hands behind his back.
His eyes were dark, and he glanced at Guo Yi first, and then said coldly: "Captain Guo is here, and I wanted to let you go, but I didn't expect that you haven't left yet, but now it seems that I can't keep you here.
"
"It's Mr. Wei." Guo Yi raised his eyebrows. The reason why he was respectful and tolerant to County Magistrate Kong in the county government office was because of Mr. Wei who he couldn't see through.
At the same time, Lin Ji looked at Lu Zhaoer.
"But he came to the door. He also has the smell of blood on his body, the kind I mentioned."
Lu Zhaoer understood, stood up and asked: "Catch him alive or chop him up?"
