After a few brief explanations in Linchuan County, Lin Ji returned to Liangzhou without stopping.
Early the next morning, Lin Ji had already appeared in the government office in Liangzhou.
Without any delay, he went directly to the back garden of the government office and outside Zhan Chengfeng's small courtyard.
It happened that Zhan Chengfeng happened to be in the yard and waved to Lin Ji.
"You came back early in the morning. It seems that things in Lanchuan County are not complicated?"
Lin Ji shook his head and quickly told everything about yesterday.
After listening to Lin Ji's narration, Zhan Chengfeng's expression became more solemn.
"I was in a good mood this morning, but this news has completely ruined it for you."
"Sir, there was obviously someone behind Miao at that time. This matter is beyond my ability. If I want to investigate further, I have to..."
Before Lin Ji could finish speaking, Zhan Chengfeng shook his head and interrupted him.
"No more investigation. Mr. Baizu is dead and the case is closed. It's that simple."
Hearing this, Lin Ji frowned slightly.
"Sir, Lord Baizu is definitely not just committing crimes in Linchuan County. Hou Miao comes from the Taiyi Sect and drives monsters to cause trouble. I'm afraid he is also involved in many major crimes."
"I know, but I won't check." Zhan Chengfeng still shook his head.
This time, Lin Ji saw something.
Zhan Chengfeng is not a person who lives alone. In the past, when there were cases like this, he would have to go there personally.
Last time about the incident in Lianghe County, he was able to chase the man in black robes for several days and nights. This time the incident was obviously not a small one. If there wasn't an important reason, he would never let it go.
Lin Ji lowered his head and thought for a moment, then hesitantly said: "Sir, is this something over in the capital?"
Zhan Chengfeng glanced at Lin Ji in surprise.
"Did Lu Zhaoer even tell you this? Or did you guess it yourself?"
Lin Ji said nothing.
Zhan Chengfeng did not go into details and nodded: "The Demon Suppression Tower is about to be restarted. This matter involves the future security of Kyushu. Therefore, during this period, all states have been instructed to maintain stability and not to cause trouble."
"This matter involves the Taiyi Sect. Whether it is the planning of the Taiyi Sect's senior leaders or the disciples under the sect have become scum, it will not be simple."
Speaking of this, Zhan Chengfeng tapped the stone table gently with his fingers, with a hint of sigh in his tone.
"So, we can only suppress this matter temporarily and wait until the capital city lifts the ban before making plans."
Lin Ji understood and stood up to salute.
"I'll take my leave."
After leaving the government office, Lin Ji felt helpless.
This feeling of knowing that something was fishy, but being restrained by various things and unable to investigate, made him feel like a stale breath was accumulating in his chest.
"That's all, go back and practice with peace of mind. I'm beyond my ability to do this. It's useless to think about it any more."
After returning to his house and telling people not to disturb him, Lin Ji started practicing in his room.
All the things he encountered after arriving in Liangcheng made him feel increasingly powerless.
In the past, in Qingyang County, I could not say that I could do everything with ease, but I could always have a chance to encounter evil spirits.
But when he arrived in Liangcheng, maybe it was just bad luck. Most of the troubles he encountered were troubles that he couldn't handle.
"We can't slack off anymore."
...
time flies.
In the blink of an eye, it is the third day of July in the first year of Sheng Yuan.
During Lin Ji's retreat, Liang Cheng calmed down.
During Lin Ji's period, he also went out of seclusion several times to go to the government office to deal with the following matters, only to find that the entire Liangzhou seemed extremely peaceful during this period.
I don’t know if this is really the case, or if the people below are hiding it, and the people above are not pursuing it.
But no matter what, at least on the surface, everything seems to be calm.
Lin Mansion.
Lin Ji sat cross-legged on the bed, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and the aura around him dispersed.
"The Glazed Armor is really powerful. My qualifications can only be considered average. Originally, I could only progress quickly because there were no bottlenecks. But with this Glazed Armor, my practice over the past month has pushed me directly to the fourth level.
The state of the middle stage of wisdom.”
Not long after his breakthrough in wisdom, he had another breakthrough.
If the current situation continues, I'm afraid it won't take more than a year for him to have a chance to break through to the fifth realm of night travel.
In addition, he has also made progress in the North Pole Kung Fu, which he has just learned.
The North Pole Kung Fu corresponds to the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper. Whenever it interacts with a star, it can attract the power of the corresponding star.
Originally, he was just getting started and had just connected with Tianshu Star.
After practicing this time, Lin Ji could vaguely detect the second star, Tianxuan Star.
Although it can only arouse a little bit of Tianxuan Star's power, but with a beginning, things will naturally follow naturally.
...
After leaving the customs, Lin Ji came to the government office to prepare to deal with some of the recent backlog of matters.
The result was as expected. Sure enough, all the paperwork in the following counties was calm, as if all the monsters and ghosts that were causing trouble everywhere not long ago were on vacation together.
"That's all, let's investigate these later." Lin Ji put down the document and rubbed the bridge of his nose in distress.
Nothing happened at the government office, so he returned to his own house.
Planting flowers, watching birds, and walking Alu from time to time, this day is considered leisurely.
But this leisure did not last long.
On the third day after Lin Ji left the customs.
Lin Ji had just gotten up early in the morning. He was going to have a meal after doing a set of boxing skills.
But who would have thought that just after setting up a show, a pure white pigeon landed on the big tree in the garden.
If it was an ordinary pigeon, that would be fine, but that pigeon was a demon, and Lin Ji couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to.
"Jian Tiansi's spiritual pigeon? Why did he find me?" Lin Ji was a little surprised.
Supervisor Tiansi Lingge is generally only used by Youxing officials and even higher officials. For a sixth-grade local chief arrester like him, it is enough for him to be directly commanded by the town government official.
With doubts in his heart, Lin Ji took out his Golden Killing Token.
Sure enough, when he saw Jin Zhanling, the spirit pigeon immediately spat out a note.
Lin Ji took the note.
After opening it, there were only four large characters on it.
‘Come to Beijing quickly.’
"Summon me to the capital?" Lin Ji's eyes widened.
Today's capital is a place of right and wrong, and Lin Ji would never want to set foot there if possible.
"I'm just the chief arrester of a small place. You want me to go to the capital at this time?"
Lin Ji was confused and quickly brought the note to the government office and found Zhan Chengfeng.
Who would have thought that Zhan Chengfeng's answer would be more straightforward.
"Go if you are told to go."
"Sir, this is against the rules." Lin Ji was a little reluctant.
Zhan Chengfeng pointed to the note in Lin Ji's hand with a half-smile and said, "Have you ever seen a signature on this note?"
"No." Lin Ji shook his head.
But after being reminded by Zhan Chengfeng, Lin Ji remembered it.
The note in Lu Zhaoer's hand last time was signed, and it was the seal of Mr. Zheng Lixin from the capital.
I imagine that similar notes would be signed.
Lin Ji looked at Zhan Chengfeng in confusion.
"Sir, what does it mean that there is no signature?"
Zhan Chengfeng took the note, looked at it with interest for a moment, and then gave it back to Lin Ji.
"In the Supervisory Office, it is a strict rule for Ling Ge to leave money when summoned. The purpose is to leave a record. If there are any setbacks in the future, the responsibility can be carefully investigated."
"There is only one person who can summon people without leaving money."
"who?"
Zhan Chengfeng raised his hands in the direction of the capital.
