Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

Chapter 86 The Strange Things in Shanyuan County
Zhong Xiaoyan really didn't come to eat.

Lin Ji didn't know which muscle of this girl was wrong again.If you don't come, don't come, it's okay, be quiet!
After lunch, everyone dispersed.

County Magistrate Li has sent people to move all the case files of Qingyang County in recent years to Lin Ji's small courtyard.

The recliner that originally belonged to Lin Ji was occupied by Lu Zhaoer, so she lay on the chair, taking advantage of the sunlight, from time to time, she picked up a file and examined it carefully.

Lin Ji brewed tea at the side, and fanned Erlang with his legs crossed.

Most of the spring has passed, and the afternoon sun is still a bit hot.

"Cultivators in the fourth realm don't suffer from cold and heat, so why is Mr. Lin still fanning himself? Is he afraid that I will find out something?" Lu Zhaoer asked casually.

"You're right, I'm scared to death." Lin Ji yawned.

He has been a head arrester in Qingyang County for three years, but whenever he encounters troubles caused by evil spirits, which time is he not a professional?
No matter whether it is resolved or not, there will be no concealment in the case files handed over.

Anyway, he tried his best, he was only a small third-level monk, and the higher-ups couldn't be too harsh.

Therefore, Lin Ji naturally has a clear conscience.

An afternoon passed so smoothly.

Lu Zhaoer asked about the details of the case recorded in the file from time to time, and Lin Ji answered fluently.

Finally, Lu Zhaoer put down the last file.

"Qingyang County is really rare. It does things cleanly and neatly, and the records are well-organized. There is no hiding place."

While talking, Lu Zhaoer patted another pile of files beside her.

These are records of unresolved unresolved cases.

"These cold cases."

"Evil causes disasters, and most of them have no reason." Lin Ji shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to solve the case. The key is that the other party kills people casually, and leaves after killing. What can I do?"

"I know." Lu Zhaoer nodded, stretched after getting up.

After lying down all afternoon, I was still a bit tired after all.

"Let's go." Lu Zhaoer looked at Lin Ji.

Lin Ji was puzzled: "Where are you going?"

"Continue to go south, this Qingyang County is not bad, you are a qualified head catcher."

While speaking, Lu Zhaoer had already walked out of the small courtyard and walked towards the county government.

The horses of the two of them were placed in the county government.

"It's so late, don't you want to spend the night in the county?"

"No, it's okay if you don't sleep for a few days." Lu Zhaoer replied casually.

Hearing this, Lin Ji had no choice but to follow.

After picking up the horse at the yamen and saying hello to his friends, Lin Ji followed Lu Zhaoer and left Qingyang County.

After leaving the county seat, facing the bright and clear moonlight, Lin Ji still felt a little uneasy.

"I thought I was leaving tomorrow morning, so I asked old man Li to bake some pancakes and planned to pick them up tomorrow morning."

Lu Zhaoer turned a deaf ear and just rode forward.

There was no one to argue with, and Lin Ji lost the mind to speak, and silently went hand in hand with Lu Zhaoer.

From Liangcheng to the south, after passing Qingyang County, and walking about a hundred miles, there is another county town.

After riding for a whole night, at about dawn, the road ahead of the two of them suddenly became clear.

"Shanyuan County is ahead." Lin Ji said casually.

Lu Zhaoer looked at Lin Ji.

"The Qingshan Mountains run across Liangzhou, but outside Qingyang County, they turn a corner and extend in another direction."

Lin Ji looked at the outline of the county town that had appeared in front of him, and introduced: "The place where the mountain range turns is where the Qingcheng faction is located. And the Shanyuan County in front is too far away from the Qingshan Mountain and Lianghe River, so it is so far away. named."

As the saying goes, relying on mountains to eat mountains depends on water to eat water.

Only this mountain is far away from the county, and the mountains are neither near nor close to the water.

"Qingcheng faction? The one that uses talismans?"

"That's right, Guo Yi, the head arrester in Qingyang County, was sent by Qingcheng."

While chatting, the two had already rode into the county seat.

They didn't dismount either, they just slowed down their progress.

Shanyuan County is no different than Qingyang County. Here, Lin Ji will put on airs with Lu Zhaoer.

However, not long after entering the city, the two discovered something was wrong.

It was already dawn at this time, if it was placed in Qingyang County, the people would have already come out to work at this time.

But in this Shanyuan County, the doors of every household are closed.

"Something's wrong." Lin Ji frowned slightly.

Lu Zhaoer nodded.

After a while, until the sky was bright, only the common people were active in the county.

Seeing Lin Ji and Lu Zhaoer riding horses, many people hurried out of the way.

But there are also many people looking at Lu Zhaoer frequently.

"Why are many people here so pale and emaciated? Liangzhou has never been short of food, right?" Lu Zhaoer asked.

"Of course not." Lin Ji shook his head.

Liangzhou has mountains, water and fertile land.

There is a lack of everything here, that is, there is no shortage of food for the common people.

Even the white porridge donated in the porridge shop connected to the beggars is so thick that it almost catches up with dry rice.

"Then why are the men here so weak? It looks like several of them are weak." Lu Zhaoer was puzzled.

"Just go to the yamen and ask." Lin Ji speculated maliciously, "Maybe it is the collusion between the officials and businessmen here, what about the common people?"

Anyway, he has passed the test, and Lin Ji doesn't care much whether his colleagues die or not.

Hearing what Lin Ji said, Lu Zhaoer didn't say anything.

Because it's not impossible.

After walking for a while, the county government office could already be seen ahead.

Lin Ji noticed something was wrong again, and said, "Lu Youxing, there don't seem to be many women walking around on the street."

Lu Zhaoer froze, and looked around.

Sure enough, as Lin Ji said, not a single woman showed her face on the street.

No wonder many people looked at Lu Zhaoer strangely just now, there is a reason for the co-authorship.

During the time they spoke, the two had already reached the gate of the county government office.

The yamen servant at the door also looked listless, but after seeing Lin Ji and the two of them, he still took the initiative to stand up.

"How courageous, dare to ride a horse at the gate of the yamen?"

Without saying a word, Lin Ji took out his golden beheading order.

But the yamen servant's eyes lit up, and he reached out to take it.

"Made of gold? That's right, the boy understands the rules and has a bright future!"

As soon as the words fell, another yamen servant quickly hugged the confused colleague.

"Are you crazy? How much anger did you vent at night, and your brain also vented out? That is the golden beheading order!"

Afterwards, the yamen servant kicked his colleague over, and quickly knelt down in front of Lin Ji's horse.

"I have seen the chief arrester."

Lin Ji and Lu Zhaoer dismounted.

"Take good care of our horses, is your county magistrate there?"

"Yes, it's inside, I'll report to you."

"No need, let's just go in."

After dismissing the yamen servants, Lin Ji and Lu Zhaoer walked into the Shanyuan county yamen together.

After passing the lobby, to the back hall behind.

A middle-aged fat man was sitting on the grand master's chair, squinting his eyes with a calm demeanor.

Seeing Lin Ji and the two of them, he was stunned.

"Who are you? Who let you in?"

"The head of Liangzhou arrested Lin Ji." Lin Ji took out the token again.

The fat man was startled, and quickly got up to salute.

"Ma Ru, the county magistrate of Xiaguan Shanyuan County, has met Mr. Lin."

Lin Ji passed Ma Ru and sat down directly on the vice seat.

Lu Zhaoer took the main seat as a matter of course.

Seeing this scene, the cold sweat on Ma Ru's face became more intense.

Lin Ji didn't like to beat around the bush, and asked straight to the point.

"Tell me, what's going on in the county? Why do you all look exhausted and don't sleep every night?"
