Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

Chapter 5 Rejection
In the capital, Tiansi Supervisor.

In the living room, Lin Ji sat expressionlessly on the carved wooden chair, waiting patiently.

Next to him were seven or eight headhunters who waited patiently without saying a word, just like Lin Ji.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, he ordered the Superintendent Tiansi to sort out the situation in various places in Daqin. That's why this time the arresters from various places came to Beijing to report on their work in batches and submit the dossiers.

Suddenly, there was a roar in the room inside the living room.

"In three years in your Jingyang County, there are only sixteen major case files?"

"My lord, the people of Jingyang County are simple and honest, that's true."

"The folk customs are simple, and the evil customs are also simple? Then the evil spirit will not come out to harm people when he sees your folk customs are simple?"

"This this."

"Jingyang County is adjacent to the Jinghe River, and it is also close to the East China Sea! Not to mention that the monsters in the sea often make trouble, even the shrimp soldiers and crab generals raised in the Jiaolong Mansion on the Jinghe River are enough to keep you busy."

In the living room, hearing the roar in the inner hall, many headhunters shrank their necks subconsciously.

Only Lin Ji was calm and complacent, sipping tea without changing his face, and tapped his fingers on the handle of the chair rhythmically.

This scene also attracted the attention of many colleagues.

"Catch Zhou Guangcai in Xiasishui County, is your friend?"

"Qingyang County, Lin Ji."

Zhou Guangcai cupped his hands with a smile, and said in a low voice, "I don't know how many files Qingyang County brought this time, are they complete?"

"Not many, there are only thirteen major cases recorded in the general file, all of which occurred in the past three years." Lin Ji replied casually.

"Hiss..." Zhou Guang looked Lin Ji up and down a few times, but didn't say anything, but moved to a position a little further away from Lin Ji.

Seeing this scene, Lin Ji secretly wanted to laugh, but there was no expression on his face.

The file that was being scolded in the room just now was actually thicker than the one in his hand.

But this is how the general yamen of Jiantiansi behaves like this. They can't rub the sand in their eyes, and they treat the people below them extremely harshly.

There is no way, use heavy codes in troubled times.

Not to mention the head arresters in these counties, even the first batch of head arresters from the prefectural capitals who came to report on their work will also be made things difficult.

After all, the head-capturing is in charge of the safety of one side, if even the head-catching is cheating, cheating and cheating, then the common people will be even more miserable.

The voice inside is still ringing.

"Look! This is the news sent back by the spy of Jiantiansi in Jingyang County. In just over two months this year, children from more than a dozen families in Jingyang County disappeared, and their bones were found by the river again! This matter Why is there no record in the dossier you submitted?"

"My lord, this matter has not been found out yet, so..."

"Is it because I haven't found out, or I dare not investigate? Why, the name of the Jinghe Jiaolong is louder than that of Jian Tiansi? How can a mere fifth-level dragon make you so suspicious?"

"Get out, someone from the General Yamen will go down to deal with this matter, and you don't need to be a head catcher, just be an ordinary demon catcher honestly."

A moment later, the Jingyang county police officer came out of the room with his head drooping.

He was sweating profusely, and he bowed his hands to his colleagues in the living room with some helplessness, and then left in a daze.

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man with sword eyebrows and star eyes and white temples came out with his hands behind his back.

This person is Mr. Zheng Lixin, the clerk of Tiansi, who is in charge of coordinating the arrests and sorting out the dossiers.

Mr. Zheng glanced over the rest of the headhunters in the hall, every time he saw a person, that person would lower his head.

Only when he saw Lin Ji, Lin Ji looked at him calmly.

Lord Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, thought for a moment, and asked, "Lin Ji in Qingyang County?"

"Your Excellency recognizes me?" Lin Ji was a little surprised.

"Appointment of head arresters in various places will be reserved in the capital's general office for backup after the town government official agrees. You should have been appointed as head arrester in Qingyang County three years ago." Zheng Lixin explained casually, and continued Said: "You will be the next one, come in with the file."

"As ordered."

Lin Ji took the file and followed Zheng Lixin into the inner hall.

After handing over the file, Lin Ji quietly waited for Zheng Lixin to look through it.

In less than a moment, Zheng Lixin frowned slightly and put down the file, but he did not growl like before.

"You solved the baby theft case in Qingyang County half a year ago?"

"My lord is talking about the case of Gu Huo Niao?"

"Yes."

"It's just a fluke. Although the Guhuo Bird has a good name as a demon, he is not very capable. It was our five demon hunters from Qingyang County who worked together to catch it."

Zheng Lixin nodded, and asked again: "The ghost from three months ago?"

"Good luck, just happened to happen."

Zheng Lixin talked about several cases that Lin Ji had handled.

Every time Lin Ji answered, he attributed it to luck or his colleagues, and never took credit.

But he also faintly felt that Zheng Lixin seemed to have investigated himself.

Otherwise, even if you have some skills in arresting heads in a small county, you will never be able to make the clerks of the general yamen remember clearly.

Sure enough, after a brief questioning, Zheng Lixin put the files of Qingyang County aside.

"There is no problem with the dossier. Liangzhou is not far from Jingzhou. The General Yamen knows a little more about the situation on your side. Your dossier is not very different from what we know."

Lin Ji nodded: "Since that's the case, please allow me to resign."

"Wait a minute." Zheng Lixin raised his hand and said.

Lin Ji paused.

"What else is there, my lord?"

"Lin Ji. Among the many headhunters in nine prefectures and hundreds of counties in Kyushu, you are young, promising and outstanding. Are you interested in staying in the capital? If you are willing to stay, within three years , you have a great chance to compete for the position of chief arrester in the capital."

Hearing this, Lin Ji was obviously a little surprised.

It is often said that the third level of the Beijing official university is the position of the chief arrester in the capital, which is not something ordinary people can sit on.

The chief arrester in the capital city only obeys the orders of the city officials in the capital, and can also govern the arresters in the counties of Jingzhou.

It can be said that he is a person with good hands and eyes in Jingzhou.

Even if it is just a chance to compete for this position, it is enough to make countless headhunters of Tiansi jealous.

Unfortunately, Lin Jizhi was not here.

He joined Tianjian Division just to embark on the path of cultivation.

Now his cultivation is going smoothly, with the help of the Karma Book, there is no shortage of opportunities, and he is doing well in Qingyang County, so why bother to go to the troubled waters of the top supervisors?

Thinking of this, Lin Ji declined and said: "I would like to thank you for your appreciation. However, my ability is limited, and it is not easy to be a headhunter in Qingyang County. I dare not ask for a high position."

Zheng Lixin couldn't hear the unhappy meaning in Lin Ji's words.

What lack of ability is nothing but evasive words.

"In that case, you can go down." Zheng Lixin frowned and waved Lin Ji away.

After Lin Ji left, Zheng Lixin was silent for a moment, then picked up a booklet on the left hand side of the table.

On the cover of the booklet, there are four characters of "Exploration List".

Opening the directory, the word 'Lin Ji' was recorded at the top of the second page.

"Isn't the ambition here?"

Zheng Lixin picked up a pen, ready to cross out Lin Ji's name.

But when he was about to write, he hesitated for a moment, but the tip of the pen still did not fall.

"Forget it, the matter of the list should be left to the master to decide."
