After Lu Zhaoer read the note, he handed it to Lin Ji.
Logically speaking, regardless of whether the news is important or not, doing so is illegal.
But Lu Zhaoer did it subconsciously.
Lin Ji didn't feel like he was overstepping his bounds. He took the note and found that there were only four characters on it, 'Return to Beijing quickly' and a seal.
"Calling you back to Beijing? Is there another case for you to investigate?" Lin Ji handed the note back.
But when he looked at Lu Zhaoer, he found that Lu Zhaoer's brows were slightly furrowed, looking a little uneasy.
"What's wrong?"
"Something's wrong." Lu Zhao'er shook his head slightly, "When I came out, Jingzhong was still dealing with troubles in various places. It seemed that Youxing officials like me were away on business..."
"Then what?"
Lu Zhaoer looked at Lin Ji.
"Lord Lin, you don't know. The reason why You Xingguan is called You Xingguan is because he is out all year round, like the stars in the sky. Logically speaking, I have not returned to Beijing to resume my duties in Liangzhou, so this kind of order should not be done in any case.
It fell on my head."
Lu Zhaoer thought about it and continued: "It is not uncommon for people to take orders and run errands outside, but most of the time they are temporarily assigned. Lingge is sent from the capital, and Lingge then follows the guidance of the Youxing Order and finds someone nearby to do the errands after arriving at the place."
"I have been a Yuxing officer for more than a year, and this is the first time I have encountered someone who was summoned back to Beijing like this."
After hearing this explanation, Lin Ji said subconsciously: "There must be something big happening in the capital, so I urgently summoned you back."
"It's very possible." Lu Zhaoer nodded and said, "The signature on this note is also very particular. It is Mr. Zheng's seal. Mr. Zheng is responsible for supervising and dispatching, and ordinary errands will not be handled by him personally! This time it is just
The seal was not signed, so it was obvious that I was not the only one who recalled me, so the notes were all standard."
"Is it Mr. Zheng Lixin?" Lin Ji thought of the cold-faced clerk he met when he went to the capital to report on his work.
"Yes." Lu Zhaoer nodded slightly, looking like Lin Ji, "It seems that I can only trouble Mr. Lin to catch him here. The order comes urgently, I can't delay, I will set off immediately."
"Lu Youxing has a good journey." Lin Ji bowed his hands and saluted.
"I'd like to lend you some good words." Lu Zhaoer nodded, turned around and left.
But after taking two steps, she turned back and looked at Lin Ji.
"I will report the matter in Shanyuan County exactly as it is. If you know the law and break the law, and if I engage in malpractice for personal gain, I will write it in a file and submit it to you."
"It should be so." Lin Ji nodded. He didn't have this ambition anyway, he just wanted to be clear in his heart.
Seeing how calm he was, Lu Zhaoer also smiled.
"Lin Ji, the biggest surprise for me when I come to Liangzhou this time is to meet you. If you come to Beijing in the future, you must come to Lu Mansion to find me, so that I can fulfill my friendship as a landlord."
"How can I, a sixth-grade official like me, get to the residence of Duke Zhen Guo?"
"Just go if you are told, there is so much nonsense!" Lu Zhaoer glared at Lin Ji, then smiled and shook his head, turned around and rushed towards the capital.
In the blink of an eye, she disappeared.
Lin Ji watched Lu Zhaoer off for a long time.
It wasn't until the rain became more severe that he stopped laughing. This girl was finally gone.
On the way back to Liangcheng, Lin Ji couldn't help but think about things in the capital.
"Even Yu Xingguan was summoned back. What happened in Jingli?"
"Is it possible...?"
Lin Ji suddenly thought of the Demon Suppression Tower.
The soul-fixing demon-suppressing pestle has returned to the capital. Could it be that Supervisor Tiansi is preparing to reopen the demon-suppressing tower?
"If this is the case, it is indeed no small matter."
"But what does that have to do with me? I'm just a little chief catcher."
Lin Ji chuckled twice and moved a little faster.
Even if the sky falls, there will be a tall man holding it up, so it won't be his turn to worry.
...
Back in Liangcheng, Lin Ji took a rest at his house, changed his clothes, and came to the government office.
He dealt with the greetings of the government officials all the way.
After Lin Ji came to his study room, not long after he sat down, there was a knock on the door.
"Master Lin." Zhou Ying's voice sounded outside the door.
"Come in." Lin Ji yawned.
Zhou Ying opened the door, but did not come in. He just half-bowed and said, "Mr. Lin, Master Zhan has sent you to speak."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ji sat up immediately.
"I know, I'll go right away."
Since it was Zhan Chengfeng's intention, Lin Ji naturally didn't dare to delay. But he was also wondering in his heart. He had just come back and his buttocks were not even hot from sitting in the study. Why did Zhan Chengfeng come to see him again?
All the way to the back garden of the government office, Zhan Chengfeng was not in his small courtyard, but in the hall next to the pond, and Master Xingchi was also there.
After Lin Ji arrived, he bowed slightly.
"Master Zhan, Master of Xing Chi."
"Sit." Zhan Chengfeng motioned Lin Ji to sit down, and poured Lin Ji a cup of tea with his own hands.
Lin Ji quickly greeted him with both hands.
"Lord Zhan, this is going to disgrace your subordinates."
Zhan Chengfeng shook his head and told Lin Ji not to talk nonsense.
After pouring the tea, Zhan Chengfeng put down the teapot and looked like Lin Ji.
"How did you feel after taking a trip down there with Lu Zhaoer this time?"
"A little tired." Lin Ji said frankly, "Lu You is in such a hurry. We have only been walking for two or three days. We even went to Shanyuan County."
"Haha, that's what that girl is like." Zhan Chengfeng couldn't help but smile.
Zhan Chengfeng obviously already knew about Jingzhong's recall of You Xingguan, so he was not surprised that Lin Ji came back so early.
He stood up, nodded towards Master Xingchi, and then looked at Lin Ji.
"I'm going to be away for a few days. While I'm away, Lin Ji, please don't be careless about the affairs of the Supervisor Tiansi in Liangzhou. Please pay more attention to me."
"I understand." Lin Ji responded.
Zhan Chengfeng was different from Lu Zhaoer, Lin Ji was not so talkative as to ask him what he was doing.
"Let's go." Zhan Chengfeng smiled, bowed his hands to Master Xingchi, and then left quickly.
Lin Ji looked at Master Xingchi again.
"Master and Master Zhan seem to have a close personal relationship?"
Master Xingchi nodded and asked with a smile: "How long has it been since Almsgiver Lin came to Liangcheng?"
"It's been a while." Lin Ji responded casually.
Although Master Xingchi was also an expert, Lin Ji was able to relax a lot when getting along with him.
I took a sip of tea, nothing special.
The tea poured by the town official himself is just like this.
The smile on Master Xingchi’s face became even wider.
"Donor Lin, when you mentioned Liangcheng, what places are worth visiting?"
"Master is from Liangcheng, why do you ask me?"
"Donor Lin just said it casually."
After hearing this, Lin Ji just dealt with it casually.
“There are beautiful mountains and rivers outside Liangcheng, worth a visit.”
"anything else?"
Lin Ji thought.
"There is a tall tower in the north outside the city, reaching into the sky. It is worth a visit."
"Where is the tower?"
Lin Ji was about to answer, but was suddenly stunned.
He looked deeply at Master Xingchi, then handed over his hand and confessed.
"I've been in Liangcheng for a long time and haven't visited Daliang Temple yet. I'm rude."
