When Capt. Zhao was brought to his residence, everyone, including Li Mu, was a little dumbfounded.
This is a small room. Judging from the layout, it is obviously converted into a value room.
Against the walls on both sides is a bunk that can accommodate five people on one side. The wall inside is a standing cabinet with exactly ten compartments for storing things.
The ten people who passed the entry examination happened to fill this room.
Li Mu couldn't believe that the accommodation conditions in the county government were so simple. Although he didn't expect to have a small house with a yard after arriving here, he also didn't expect that he would have to share it with nine other people.
Stay in one room.
Zhao Captou saw their expressions and said: "The county government originally did not provide accommodation, but the county governor was considerate of everyone and changed the duty room into a dormitory. This is the condition of the government office. If you don't want to live here,
You can also rent it yourself outside..."
This sentence is actually nonsense. The monthly salary of these detectives is only one tael of silver, which is not enough whether to rent a house or stay in an inn.
The agents in local county governments are all born and raised in the local area, and no matter how poor they are, they still have their own residences. However, this is different in county towns. Many of the agents here come from other places and cannot solve the accommodation problem by themselves.
The resolute young man silently put his luggage in a cabinet, chose a position against the wall, and began to make his bed.
The rest of the people showed hesitation on their faces.
Living in the county government office will obviously be very frustrating and they have no privacy. But if they move out, they will have to spend a lot of money in vain. Even if they come to the county government office not for the salary, they will still feel distressed.
After seeing the situation here, Li Mu no longer plans to live in the county government office. He has too many secrets and needs enough space for practice. He plans to rent a house nearby. He is no longer the same person he was six months ago.
I had to borrow twenty pennies to make a poor policeman.
Li Si put down his luggage with an indifferent look on his face.
Based on Li Mu's understanding of him, he might not come back to sleep too many times in the future.
Just as Li Si sat down, a young man in white walked in from outside.
When Capt. Zhao saw the young man in white, he immediately bowed and saluted, and asked, "But what are the orders from the Lord Commander?"
The young man in white said: "I'm looking for Li Si."
He looked at Li Si who was sitting by the bed and said, "Follow me, Lord Jun Cheng wants to see you."
Li Si sighed and stood up slowly, as if he had expected such a moment.
He glanced at Li Mu and said: "If I can't come back, remember to take my news back to Qunfang Tower, Hongxingyuan, Chunfeng Pavilion, and tell Xiangxiang, Ajin, Xiaohui, Ping'er, and...
There are green flowers, I love them..."
After Li Si finished speaking, a look of determination appeared on his face and he walked out without looking back.
Li Mu looked at his leaving figure and could only congratulate him in his heart for growing old together with Miss Miaomiao and having a son soon...
After the young man left with Li Si, another government servant walked in and whispered a few words to Capt. Zhao.
"A policeman from our county government?" Capt. Zhao glanced at Li Mu and others in confusion, and said to everyone, "Everyone will pack your things later. Come out with me first."
The nine people walked out of the room and returned to the courtyard of the front office.
Li Mu walked into the courtyard, looked up, and saw the young man he had rescued last night standing in the courtyard, with a middle-aged man beside him.
When the young man saw Li Mu, he ran over quickly, stood beside him, and said, "It was this brother, the policeman, who saved me."
The middle-aged man strode up, held Li Mu's wrist, and said: "Thank you sir for helping me. Xu is just a son. If something happens to him, Xu really doesn't know what to do."
good……"
Li Mu smiled slightly and said: "As a police officer, it is your duty to kill the ghosts that harm the people. You're welcome."
Zhao Captou said in surprise: "You saved Shopkeeper Xu's son?"
Li Mu nodded and said: "Last night I was resting in a wilderness inn and met two female ghosts who sucked in Yang Qi. I followed them secretly and chased an evil ghost's lair. After eradicating the nest of evil ghosts,
I saved him by the way."
The middle-aged man said gratefully: "Your Excellency has saved the only incense of my Xu family. I am extremely kind to the Xu family. Xu has prepared a small gift. I hope you can accept it..."
Li Mu waved his hand and said: "I accept Shopkeeper Xu's wishes, but the gift is not necessary. This is my duty. If this precedent is set, I am afraid it will have a bad impact on the Yamen."
He is not short of money, nor is he short of anything, so he does not need a small gift of thanks.
The middle-aged man tried to persuade him a few more times, but seeing Li Mu insisting, he had no choice but to say: "Since you are unwilling to accept it, Xu will donate it to the county government."
He held the young man's hand and said: "Xu is not talented and has done some small business in the county. If you can get Xu's place in the future, you can give me orders. Xu can do it and you will not refuse."
.”
Shopkeeper Xu thanked him again before pulling Xu Hao away.
Zhao Captou looked at Li Mu with unexpected eyes and said: "I thought you just used some method to resist the temptation of the illusion. Now it seems that you are really not interested in money. Shopkeeper Xu will give you
I just refused the one thousand taels of silver..."
Li Mu's eyes widened: "One thousand taels?"
Li Mu felt extremely regretful. If he had known it was a thousand taels, he would not have been so polite just now.
One thousand taels was enough to buy a one-room house in the county town. With this courtesy, he gave away a house in the county town.
He worked hard for Liu Hanyan for more than half a year, writing books, storytelling, acting, pretending to be ghosts... He finally made five hundred taels, including dozens of taels of love from Liu Hanyan, which he made easily last night
With a little effort, I almost made a thousand taels.
What kind of small business is this shopkeeper Xu running? A thousand taels can only be regarded as a small gift?
"Shopkeeper Xu is a well-known wealthy businessman in the county. His business is spread all over the north county. He often gives food and relief to the poor. A thousand taels is not a big sum for him." Zhao Captou explained and asked: "What's wrong?
Do you regret it?"
"No……"
It was difficult to recover from the overflowing water. It was too late for Li Mu to regret, and he could only lament in his heart.
A small gift is just one thousand taels of silver. The richest person Li Mu knows is Liu Hanyan. I am afraid that even Liu Hanyan is not as rich as this shopkeeper Xu.
Thinking of Liu Hanyan, Li Mu's heart started to itch, and his hands also started to itch...
This situation has happened frequently in the past two days. There is no doubt that after several times of double cultivation, Li Mu has become addicted to Liu Hanyan. The Qingxin Jue can only be used for a while, not for a lifetime.
There are only two ways to quit smoking addiction.
First, the two of them live in different places. After a long time, they will naturally not think about it.
Second, if they move together, they can meet each other when they want to, and can enter the state of dual cultivation at any time. Naturally, there will be no such situation of "thinking but not realizing" and scratching their heads.
Li Mu silently recited the Qingxin Jue to calm down his mood. He thought of the evil ghost he killed last night and asked Zhao Captou: "Zhao Captou, do you know the King of Chu Jiang?"
"Of course I know." Zhao Captou breathed a sigh of relief and said: "He is an extremely powerful ghost cultivator. It is said that he has eighteen ghost generals under his command, most of whom are in the soul realm..."
Li Mu was shocked and said: "Even the ghost generals under his command have soul-level cultivation, isn't his Taoism even higher?"
Zhao Captou said: "Most of the eighteen ghost generals are not weaker than the supernatural monks, and King Chujiang himself is even more comparable to nature. They are a great scourge to the North County, and the county governor is also a headache...
…”
Li Mu asked doubtfully: "The King of Chujiang is only equivalent to the fifth realm. Could it be that even the county government can't defeat him?"
It stands to reason that even if the Beijun government cannot defeat the evil spirits or ghost cultivators in the sixth realm, it should not be a problem to deal with the Chu Jiang King in the fifth realm.
Zhao Captou shook his head and said: "It's not that I can't fight, but these ghost cultivators usually hide their heads and tails, so it's difficult to find their traces. Besides, the King of Chu Jiang is easy to mess with, and the Netherworld Saint Lord behind him is not easy to mess with..."
Li Mu asked in surprise: "Who is the Holy Lord Netherworld?"
Capt. Zhao asked: "Have you ever heard of Master Qianhuan?"
Li Mu's heart skipped a beat and he nodded: "I've heard of it."
Zhao Captou continued: "The Demon Sect has ten branch sects and ten elders. Master Qianhuan is the elder of the Corpse Sect, and Netherworld Saint Lord is the elder of the Soul Sect. They all have the peak cultivation level of the Sixth Realm. King Chu Jiang
, he is the subordinate of Saint Lord Netherworld, ranking second among the Ten Halls of Yama..."
Li Mu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his heart beating wildly.
The psychological shadow caused by Master Qianhuan on him has not been completely eliminated, but another Netherworld Saint Lord appears.
How come he, a small policeman, always gets involved with such monsters?
Capt. Zhao looked at Li Mu and asked, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
Li Mu waved his hand, forced a smile on his face, and said: "It's nothing, I just asked..."
