In the early morning, Lin Ji woke up from his sleep.
I yawned long and opened the window. The garden outside looked particularly bright and colorful under the morning light from the east.
"It's the best time of the year." Lin Ji took a deep breath of fresh air and sighed.
In late spring, most of the chill has receded, but the heat has not yet arrived.
I got up from the bed and went to the courtyard wearing inner clothes.
He picked up the spirit and buried it in the ground, leaving only two green sprouts exposed, and told it to start working.
Then, the maids who had been waiting for a long time gathered around him.
Some were carrying basins, some were holding facekerchiefs, and even toothbrushes made of ponytails were handed over.
Lin Ji simply washed his face and did not use a toothbrush made of fish bones, which looked uncomfortable.
As a monk, if your body is dirty, you only need to cleanse it with spiritual energy.
So even when he washes his face, he just does it for a show.
After doing a decent Tai Chi exercise in the courtyard, Lin Ji came to the restaurant as usual.
Sure enough, breakfast has been prepared.
The mutton soup I had today was milky white and viscous, and I couldn't smell the slightest bit of taint.
Taking the bowl of broth handed over by the little girl Qiuxiang, Lin Ji took a gentle sip.
fresh!
Most of the mutton smell has been removed, leaving only a little bit. Not only is it not unpleasant, but it also adds a bit of flavor.
After one bowl, it leaves a fragrant taste in your mouth.
Then he used chopsticks to pick up the lamb that had been cut into even sizes on the table and dipped it in the dipping sauce.
Tender!
Once the mutton enters the mouth, the texture is clear, rotten but not rotten, and the heat is just right.
After chewing it for a while, the whole mouth will be filled with the taste of meat.
After breakfast, Lin Ji was in a good mood and walked out of the restaurant. The butler Lao Li was already waiting outside.
"What's up?"
"Sir, the Tian family has sent those gifts you asked to send back before." Lao Li said cautiously.
"Send the medicinal materials and so on to the government office. Just say it is the Tian family's heartfelt wish. The gold, silver and jewelry will be left as expenses for the government." Lin Ji waved his hand.
He was too lazy to care about such a trivial matter.
As for those medicinal materials that can be used as cultivation resources, Lin Ji has no need for the time being.
He didn't practice at all last night. When he got up this morning, he felt that his cultivation had improved a little and he didn't need to take medicine at all.
Anyway, according to Lin Ji's estimation, even if he didn't kill demons and obtain karma gifts, he would still be able to break through again in a year and a half if he stayed on track.
After being busy for most of the day, it's time to go to the government office.
When he was in Qingyang County, as long as there was no case, it didn't matter whether Lin Ji went to the county government or not.
But now that I have become the chief arrester, I am far less free than before.
Although Lin Ji always arrived late and left early, he still had to show up every day.
Wandering to the government office.
As soon as we arrived at the gate, the gatekeeper quickly saluted.
"I've met Mr. Lin."
"Yeah." Lin Ji responded perfunctorily, not taking it seriously.
But after walking a few steps in the government office, he felt something was wrong.
Everyone who met him would take the initiative to stop and get out of the way.
After bowing and saluting, those people would not leave until he was far away.
Lin Ji just thought about it and knew that what happened to the Tian family yesterday should have taken effect.
These city dwellers who looked down upon him, a countryman, now knew they were afraid.
This is a good thing.
In the study room of the government office, Lin Ji spent a confused morning.
After Tian Wenliang was sent away, Lin's deputy was replaced by an experienced teacher.
It was just arranged last night.
The teacher heard about Tian Wenliang's incident and did not dare to neglect it. He sorted out the recent events overnight.
Early in the morning, a simplified version of the documents from various counties in Liangzhou was placed on Lin Ji's desk.
Lin Ji spent half an hour reading it.
In short, everything below except Lianghe County is calm.
It's unbelievably peaceful.
"Deceive the superiors and conceal the inferiors." Lin Ji put down the document and yawned.
How could he not know the truth behind it?
As long as the people below are able to handle things, they will turn them into minor matters, and they will not cause any trouble to those above.
If you can't hold it anymore.
Then let's finish it together, and no one will have an easy time.
Thinking of this case in Lianghe County, Lin Ji showed a bit of worry. Zhan Chengfeng had been investigating for several days, but there was no news, which showed that this case was very difficult.
"Is it possible that Lord Zhan is trapped?" Lin Ji couldn't help but feel heavy when he thought of this. If even Zhan Chengfeng of the Sixth Realm was trapped in Lianghe County, then things would be very bad.
"Forget it, I'm just a grassroots catcher in the Fourth Realm anyway. If anything happens, people from the headquarters will naturally handle it. Why should I worry about it?"
At this time, Zhou Ying anxiously knocked on the study door, interrupting Lin Ji's thoughts.
"Why are you so anxious?" Lin Ji asked with a frown.
"Sir, please go to the lobby and have a look. Someone is coming up there."
"What's up there?" Lin Ji suddenly woke up and asked with a frown.
"I...I can't tell clearly. You'll know after you go and see it." Zhou Ying was somewhat unclear.
With confusion, Lin Ji quickly walked out of the study and came to the lobby.
At this moment, Sun Hai and others were already in the lobby, but they just stood aside with a wry smile.
As well as the civil servants in the yamen, they were all sent to stay nearby.
In the middle of the lobby, there is a young woman wearing a white outfit, who is quite heroic.
The woman was about twenty years old. Her long hair was tied into a ponytail and hung down behind her. Her eyes were bright but vaguely majestic.
Those eyes kept scanning everyone in the hall, and finally stopped when they landed on Lin Ji.
Lin Ji frowned slightly.
"Excuse me, where is the girl from? I wonder if this is the Liangzhou government office? I also asked a few adults and the city's head catcher..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the woman take out a token from her arms.
The token looked quite old, silver-gray, with only the word "游" on it.
But Lin Ji knew that on the backside that he couldn't see, the token was dotted with stars.
The woman held up the token and pointed it at Lin Ji.
"I am Lu Zhaoer."
Lin Ji bowed and saluted without thinking.
But it's not a full salute, just a slight bow.
"Liangzhou Chief Catcher Lin Ji has met Lu Youxing."
Lin Ji recognized that this token was the identity token of the Star Supervisor of the Supervisory Heaven Division, a fifth-grade official.
The wandering star officer travels around the world, slaying demons and demons, rectifying injustices, and investigating corrupt officials.
While Lin Ji saluted, he already curled his lips and smiled bitterly in his heart.
Why, just half a day after the good days, Official Youxing came to visit. These bad guys usually refused to show up unless something important happened.
Just when Lin Ji was slandering, Lu Zhaoer had already arrived in front of Lin Ji.
Lin Ji smelled a fragrant breeze.
Then he heard something he absolutely didn't want to hear.
"You are the only one in the fourth realm, come with me."
After the words fell, Lu Zhaoer turned around and walked out regardless of Lin Ji's reaction.
