Who among the errands under Supervisor Tiansi doesn’t know the reputation of Official You Xing? It’s fine if you don’t see him on weekdays. If you see him, it must be a case that everyone in Beijing is paying attention to.
After Chang Huai saluted again, he asked in a low voice: "I dare to ask Mr. Lin, Lu Youxing, but what big thing is going to happen in Shanyuan County?"
Lu Zhaoer was too lazy to pay attention and just looked at Lin Ji.
"It has nothing to do with you." Lin Ji was too lazy to talk nonsense and said bluntly, "People in the county, what's going on?"
As he spoke, Lin Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and used his spiritual consciousness to secretly explore the situation of the county government.
But the result was far beyond Lin Ji's expectation.
"Huh? Why are you like this too?"
Lin Ji stood up and came to Ma Ru and Chang Huai. After looking at them closely for a long time, he said in surprise: "One is a third-level cultivator, the other has an official position, and is protected by the fate of the Qin Dynasty...how can you even look like this?"
Do you look like you are lacking energy?"
"This..." Chang Huai laughed bitterly, "Your Excellency, you should have noticed that there are evil spirits in the county causing trouble."
Lin Ji sat back down.
"Elaborate."
Chang Huai nodded and said: "This matter has been going on for nearly a month, but the resentful mother did not kill anyone."
"Resentful mother?" Lin Ji raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Zhaoer, "Have you ever heard of it?"
"No, there are no records of ghosts and strange things." Lu Zhaoer replied.
Chang Huai said: "Sir, this resentful mother comes from the legend in our Shanyuan County."
Lin Ji looked at Chang Huai.
"The people in Shanyuan County are conservative. Every household in the county does not like to interact with people from outside the county. All weddings and funerals are held in the county, and there are few outsiders."
"About a month ago, Jiang Changqing, the son of the Jiang family in the county, brought back a woman to marry...but on the second day after the wedding, the woman fell ill and died."
"Died the next day?" Lin Ji sneered, it was no wonder that this happened.
Lin Ji motioned to Chang Huai to continue.
"There is a legend in our county that if a woman who marries outside of Shanyuan County dies young in the county, her ghost will turn into a resentful mother and bring revenge on the county."
"Then how did the resentful mother take revenge?" Lin Ji was quite curious.
There have been no deaths for a month, but the people in the whole county have lost their energy.
What a strange method this is.
When Chang Huai heard Lin Ji's words, he glanced at Lu Zhaoer subconsciously, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Speak directly!" Lu Zhaoer said.
Chang Huai smiled bitterly and said, "A spring dream."
"A dream?!" Lin Ji's voice suddenly rose in pitch.
Lu Zhaoer on the side blushed.
Chang Huai nodded and said: "Yes, as long as the men in the county fall asleep, they will have erotic dreams. The women in the dreams can't see clearly their appearance, but they are extremely graceful, which makes people sleep uneasy every night."
"If you don't kill anyone, this isn't a bad thing, right?" Lin Jimo said, stroking his chin.
"Dirty." Lu Zhaoer glared at Lin Ji.
Lin Ji turned a deaf ear.
"Sir, it's okay once or twice, but no one can stand it like this every night." Chang Huai said helplessly, "Every day I wake up, my whole body will be weak and my energy will be lost. If this continues, my life will be shortened at least.
.This is still me, if I were those common people..."
"That's true." Lin Ji understood that there is a limit to everything, and if you go beyond it, you will only suffer the consequences.
"It's been so long, why hasn't it been solved yet?" Lin Ji then asked.
"We also want to solve this matter, but we have been unable to figure it out. It has been delayed until now."
"This matter has not been resolved for a month, why not report it to Liang Cheng?"
"I also thought about reporting it, but Liang Cheng didn't have time to take care of himself at that time. Besides..." Chang Huai felt a little guilty.
"Besides, no one has died yet, right? Do you have to die to attract attention?" After saying this, Lin Ji knew that it was useless to pursue it, so he stood up directly and said, "You said this happened because of the Jiang family
?Then lead the way and take a trip to Jiang’s house.”
Chang Huai quickly responded.
...
Following Chang Huai, Lin Ji and Lu Zhaoer came to the Jiang family in Shanyuan County.
Shanyuan County is not like Qingyang County. Because it is conservative and closed, there are not many wealthy families in the county, and the Jiang family is one of the few wealthy families.
After entering the Jiang family, Jiang Song, the head of the Jiang family, was already waiting in the hall.
He was in his early sixties, with gray hair and a dark face.
Before Lin Ji could speak, Jiang Song said coldly: "The matter is over, you don't need to ask anymore!"
He obviously already knew Chang Huai's purpose of coming here.
Chang Huai whispered: "Old Jiang, this is the chief arrester of Liangzhou."
Outsiders don't know the official positions in the Jiantian Division, so the name of the chief arrester is more famous than that of the Youxing officer.
But Jiang Song still had a dark face.
"I haven't broken any laws, it's just that something bad happened at home! Why...does the chief police officer in Liangzhou also want to take care of my family affairs?"
Chang Huai looked at Lin Ji helplessly.
Lin Jize said bluntly: "Of course I have no control over your family affairs, but this matter has affected the entire Shanyuan County and is no longer your family's family affair."
"so what?"
Lin Ji squinted his eyes and said slowly: "If you don't cooperate, I will arrest you in the name of evil accomplices, kill a few of you, and distribute the rest. How about that?"
Lu Zhaoer glanced at Lin Ji subconsciously, with a bit of surprise in his eyes.
"You dare?" Jiang Song stood up immediately.
Lin Ji just sneered, and the threat in his smile was extremely strong.
Jiang Song was silent for a long time, but he was finally afraid.
"This matter...is a family misfortune."
Jiang Song looked at the servant on the side, waved his hand and said: "Go and call that unfilial son out."
The servant turned and left.
Not long after, a rather handsome young man walked into the hall.
He is Jiang Changqing.
After Jiang Changqing came out, he lowered his head slightly, hunched his body, and looked timid.
The servant has obviously explained some things later.
Therefore, after Jiang Changqing saluted Jiang Song, he looked directly at Lin Ji.
"My lord, my wife contracted an illness and died. There is no other mystery in this matter."
Lin Ji frowned and was about to ask again.
Jiang Changqing added: "Besides, she has married into the Jiang family. Whether she lives or dies is our own business and has nothing to do with anyone else."
Jiang Song also said in a cold voice: "Did you hear that? That's what happened! We don't even know if she is responsible for the strange things happening in the county now!"
Hearing this, Lu Zhaoer wanted to ask, but Lin Ji held his arm down.
"Since you don't want to say it, I won't force you."
Lin Ji stood up and left, followed by Lu Zhaoer and Chang Huai.
After leaving the Jiang family, Lu Zhaoer asked: "Why didn't you let me talk just now? The Jiang family is obviously hiding something."
Lin Ji shook his head and said: "If the Jiang family had been willing to cooperate, it wouldn't have been so long that Chief Chang couldn't figure it out. You can't ask questions like this. You have to put the evidence on the table before you can ask questions."
