After Lin Ji arrived at the government office, he walked into the lobby and found that there was no one there.
I caught the yamen servant and questioned him, but he didn't know anything.
With some confusion, Lin Ji came to the side hall and prepared to wait here.
But as soon as he approached the study, he heard voices coming from inside.
"That's all? Where are you, Mr. Lin? You haven't come yet?"
It was Lu Zhaoer's voice.
Lin Ji frowned and pushed open the study door, but then he was stunned.
In the study room, Lu Zhaoer was holding the simplified version of the document that Lin Ji had just read yesterday. Opposite her, Zhou Ying responded cautiously.
On the other side, Zhan Chengfeng was actually there.
"Master Zhan?" Lin Ji became increasingly confused.
"Lu Youxing wants to investigate an old case in Liangzhou. I can't stop it, so I'll leave it to you." Zhan Chengfeng patted Lin Ji's shoulder and made a show of leaving.
Lin Ji quickly followed Zhan Chengfeng out of the study, closing the door behind him.
"Sir, what's going on?" Lin Ji asked quickly.
Zhan Chengfeng looked helpless: "That girl is full, and Officer You Xing does have the responsibility of supervision, so I can't say anything."
"There is such a thing, but in all these years I have never seen a Yuxing official come down to do such rough work."
Lin Ji really couldn't understand. In the years since he joined the Tiantian Division, he had never seen Officer You Xing come down to investigate such nonsense.
The scope of Yu Xingguan's control is extremely wide, including old cases all over Kyushu.
If you encounter it, then check it out.
But it has to happen.
Is it because there are too few orders above, or is there not enough chaos everywhere?
If you don't kill the evil spirits all over the world, why don't you come and investigate this matter?
"This girl has had this personality since she was a child. Please be more patient." Zhan Chengfeng rarely softened his tone.
"Sir, who is this person from?"
"My surname is Lu, from Beijing." Zhan Chengfeng looked at Lin Ji with a half-smile.
Lin Ji was still stunned. He was not familiar with the capital at all.
But then, he thought of the Lu Zhan Chengfeng mentioned.
"Zhenguo Gong Lu Guangmu?"
"It's that Lu, so the next step is up to you. Don't let this girl really go to Beijing to cause trouble."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhan Chengfeng's steps speeded up significantly, and he disappeared after a moment.
Lin Ji had no choice but to return to the study.
Seeing that a new pile of files was placed on the desk, Lu Zhaoer was looking at it carefully, and Lin Ji didn't want to disturb him.
But he can't leave. This study is his, he can go anywhere.
Therefore, Lin Ji could only make a pot of tea, sit down next to him, and look at Lu Zhaoer quietly.
This looks like an afternoon.
Until Lin Ji's eyes were a little distracted and he was already wandering around.
Lu Zhaoer's voice suddenly pulled his soul back.
"Master Lin?"
Lin Ji raised his head and his pupils refocused.
"Have you finished reading Lu Youxing? Liangzhou really doesn't have any old cases for you to investigate."
"It's not in the file, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's not there."
"The people below want to hide it, but it's useless if you go there. Those people don't tell the truth."
"Then we have to go and talk about it."
After hearing this, Lin Ji was silent for a moment.
"Lu Youxing doesn't want to go there in person, does he? There are dozens of counties in Liangzhou. If we really go to check, it will take months at least."
"So we won't investigate?" Lu Zhaoer tilted his head and looked at Lin Ji quietly.
At this time, Lu Zhaoer's face was still expressionless, and he tilted his head slightly to look at Lin Ji, his expression was indescribably cute.
But Lin Ji didn't care about it.
He just looked at Lu Zhaoer with a deep look.
"Where did Lu Youxing do business before coming to Liangzhou?"
"Go to Xiangzhou first, then Yangzhou."
Xiangzhou is north of Liangzhou and east of Jingzhou.
Yangzhou is the southernmost city of Kyushu, with rivers flowing through it and bordering the sea.
"What happened?"
"Most of the missions from Beijing and official missions from Youxing are because of the missions from Beijing."
"What about after running an errand? Is this like Liangzhou asking for trouble?" Lin Ji asked again, bluntly saying that she was asking for trouble.
Lu Zhaoer was not angry, but nodded lightly.
"It's like this now, you're just asking for trouble."
"How is the result?"
"Everywhere we go, there is a lot of resistance and little cooperation; and just as you said, there are many obstacles in everything. The people below want to hide it, but they are really full of nonsense, leaving people unable to figure out a clue."
"Even so, are you still investigating?" Lin Ji continued to ask.
"check."
Speaking of this, Lu Zhaoer's mouth curved up.
This was the first time Lin Ji saw her smile. Unexpectedly, she was so stunning that Lin Ji was stunned for a moment.
It was her white outfit and long-term indifferent expression that concealed her appearance. In fact, Lu Zhaoer was already beautiful.
"Are you laughing because this is something you are proud of?" Lin Ji asked after a long time.
Lu Zhaoer looked at Lin Ji in surprise.
"Can you guess it?"
"You can guess it."
Lu Zhaoer nodded.
"Once upon a time, too many people advised me not to waste my hard work, and then I told others about the large and small cases I had handled."
Lin Ji said: "After you finish talking, ask the other party again, how can this be a waste of hard work?"
"That's right!" Lu Zhaoer was quite excited.
Lin Ji knew that this was a passion.
Lu Zhaoer continued: "How could I not know that if we go from county to county to investigate, after all the effort and hardship, we may not be able to gain anything..."
She looked at Lin Ji with light in her eyes.
"But if everyone finds it troublesome and no one does it because of this, then who should do it?"
"Is it possible that Cheng Cheng can control the world just by going to Beijing to report his duties once every three years?"
"Are you still relying on those old men from the civil service department who have nothing to do with their bodies? Every year the civil service department takes exams, and those who get there are those who rely on connections and others."
After the words fell, Lu Zhaoer sat down again, sitting in the seat that originally belonged to Lin Ji.
"I can't stand this, and I'm sitting in the position of Yu Xingguan again, so I have to take care of it."
Facing Lu Zhaoer's shining eyes, Lin Ji let out a long sigh of relief.
Stand up and bow slightly to salute.
"Where should Lu Youxing start investigating?"
The corners of Lu Zhaoer's mouth curved again.
"I've been to Lianghe County. If you come from Qingyang County, go to Qingyang County first."
"When will we leave?"
"Tomorrow morning."
"I'll be waiting at the south gate early tomorrow morning."
After saying this, Lin Ji walked out of the study with a slight smile on his lips.
The moon is already shining over the treetops outside.
...
Early the next morning, Lin Ji was waiting at the south gate.
Not long after, Lu Zhaoer appeared riding a white horse and holding a black horse in his hand.
"Still riding?" Lin Ji raised his eyebrows.
Before practicing, he couldn't go anywhere. After practicing, he can only go anywhere with his feet.
He really hasn't ridden a horse a few times.
And horses get tired, but he usually doesn't get tired when he's on the road.
At least it has better physical strength and faster speed than a horse.
"Come on, you have to act like an official when you are an official." Lu Zhaoer said.
Lin Ji got on the dark horse and looked at Lu Zhaoer in confusion.
"When you go down there to do things, you have to put on airs and make a bad face."
