Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

Chapter 87 The Jiang Family
Ma Ru wiped the fine sweat off his face, and asked cautiously, "What is your lord asking?"

"What do you think?" Lin Ji narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Yes, I understand." Ma Ru responded again and again, "Your Excellency should ask why the people in the county are so depressed?"

"Ah."

"I can't explain this matter clearly, let the head catcher in the county talk about it."

Seeing that Lin Ji didn't stop him, Ma Ru hurriedly called the yamen servant and gave some instructions.

After a while, a strong man in his early 30s appeared in the back hall.

"Chang Huai, the chief arrester in Shanyuan County, has met the chief arrester."

After Chang Butou bowed and saluted, his eyes fell on Lu Zhaoer again, and hesitantly asked, "Who is this?"

"This is Lu Youxing." Lin Ji introduced casually.

"Officer You Xing?" Chang Huai's face suddenly changed.

Which of the servants under Supervisor Tiansi doesn't know the reputation of Official You Xing?It's fine if you don't see it on weekdays. If you see it, it must be a case that the capital is paying attention to.

After Chang Huai saluted again, he asked in a low voice: "Dare to ask Mr. Lin, Lu Youxing, but what is going to happen in Shanyuan County?"

Lu Zhaoer didn't bother to pay attention, but just looked at Lin Ji.

"It has nothing to do with you." Lin Ji was too lazy to talk nonsense, and said bluntly, "People in the county, what's going on?"

While speaking, Lin Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, and used his spiritual sense to secretly investigate the situation of the county government.

But the result was beyond Lin Ji's expectation.

"Huh? Why are you the same?"

Lin Ji got up, came to Ma Ru and Chang Huai, looked around for a long time, and said in amazement: "One has a third-level cultivation base, the other has an official position, and is protected by the fate of the Great Qin, why do you even look so weak? Looks like it's missing?"

"This..." Chang Huai showed embarrassment, "My lord should have seen it too, there is something evil in the county causing trouble."

Lin Ji sat back in his seat.

"Details."

Chang Huai nodded and said: "This matter has been going on for nearly a month, but that resentful mother did not kill anyone."

"Resentful mother?" Lin Ji raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Zhaoer, "Have you ever heard of it?"

"No, it's not recorded in Strange Tales of Ghosts and Monsters either." Lu Zhaoer replied.

Chang Huai said: "My lord, this resentful mother comes from the legend in our Shanyuan County."

Lin Ji looked at Chang Huai.

"The folk customs in Shanyuan County are conservative. Every family in the county doesn't like to associate with people from outside the county. Weddings and funerals are all in the county, and there are very few outsiders."

"About a month ago, Jiang Changqing, the son of the Jiang family in the county, brought back a woman to marry him. But the woman fell ill and died on the second day after the marriage."

"He died the next day?" Lin Ji sneered, it's no wonder that this happened.

Lin Ji signaled Chang Huai to continue.

"There is a legend in our county that it is said that after entering Shanyuan County, if a married woman dies in the county, the ghost will turn into a resentful mother and bring revenge to the county."

"How did the resentful mother take revenge?" Lin Ji was rather curious.

No one died for a month, but the people in the whole county lost their energy.

What a strange means.

When Chang Huai heard Lin Ji's words, he subconsciously glanced at Lu Zhao'er, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Say it straight!" Lu Zhaoer said.

Chang Huai said a little aggrieved, "It's a spring dream."

"Spring Dream?!" Lin Ji's voice suddenly rose.

Lu Zhaoer on the side blushed.

Chang Huai nodded and said: "Yes, as long as the men in the county are asleep, they will have erotic dreams. The woman in the dream can't see her face clearly, but she is extremely graceful, making people sleep restlessly every night."

"It's not dead, isn't this a bad thing?" Lin Ji rubbed his chin and said.

"Dirty." Lu Zhaoer glared at Lin Ji.

Lin Ji turned a deaf ear.

"My lord, it's fine once or twice, but it's like this every night, no one can stand it." Chang Huai said helplessly, "Every day I wake up, I will be weak and lose energy. If this continues, it will also shorten my life. .This is still me, change to those common people"

"That's true." Lin Ji understood that there is a limit to everything, and if you pass it, you will only suffer from it.

"It's been so long, why hasn't it been resolved?" Lin Ji asked again.

"We also want to solve this matter, but we have been unable to figure it out. This has not been delayed until now."

"The matter hasn't been resolved for a month, why didn't you report it to Liangcheng?"

"I also thought about reporting it, but Liang Cheng was too busy to take care of himself at that time, besides..." Chang Huai felt a little guilty.

"Besides, there haven't been any deaths yet, have you? Will people pay attention to death?" At this point, Lin Ji knew that it would be useless to pursue it, so he stood up and said, "You said that this matter was caused by the Jiang family. ? Then lead the way and go to Jiang's house."

Chang Huai quickly responded.

Following Chang Huai, Lin Ji and Lu Zhaoer came to Jiang's house in Shanyuan County.

Shanyuan County is not like Qingyang County, because it is conservative and closed, there are not many rich families in the county, and the Jiang family is one of the few rich families.

After entering Jiang's house, Jiang Song, the head of Jiang's family, was already waiting in the hall.

He is about sixty years old, his hair is already gray, and his face is dark.

Before Lin Ji could speak, Jiang Song said coldly: "The matter is over, you don't need to ask any more!"

He obviously already knew the purpose of Chang Huai's coming here.

Chang Huai said in a low voice: "Old Jiang, this is the chief arrester of Liangzhou."

Outsiders don't know the official position in Tiansi, so the name of chief arrester is even more famous than official You Xing.

But Jiang Song still had a dark face.

"The old man didn't break the law, it's just that something messed up at home! Why does the chief arrester of Liangzhou also take care of the old man's family affairs?"

Chang Huai looked at Lin Ji helplessly.

Lin Ji said bluntly: "Of course I don't care about your family affairs, but this matter has affected the entire Shanyuan County, and it is no longer your family's affairs."

"so what?"

Lin Ji squinted his eyes, and said slowly: "If you don't cooperate, I will arrest you in the name of the evil party, kill a few, and distribute the rest, how about it?"

Lu Zhaoer subconsciously glanced at Lin Ji, with some surprise in her eyes.

"Do you dare?" Jiang Song stood up suddenly.

Lin Ji just sneered, and the threat in the smile was extremely strong.

Jiang Song was silent for a long time, but he was still afraid after all.

"This matter is a family misfortune."

Jiang Song looked at the servants at the side, waved his hands and said, "Go and call out that unfilial son."

The servant turned and left.

Not long after, a rather handsome young man walked into the hall.

He is Jiang Changqing.

After Jiang Changqing came out, he lowered his head slightly, bent his body, and looked timid.

The servant had obviously explained some things later.

So after Jiang Changqing saluted Jiang Song, he looked directly at Lin Ji.

"My lord, my wife died of an illness. There is nothing else strange about it."

Lin Ji frowned, and was about to ask again.

Jiang Changqing said again: "Besides, she has already married into the Jiang family. Whether she lives or dies is our own business, and has nothing to do with others."

Jiang Song also said coldly at the side: "Did you hear that? That's the way it is! What's going on in this county now, she doesn't even know if it's because of her!"

Hearing this, Lu Zhaoer wanted to ask a question, but Lin Ji held down his arm.

"Since you don't want to say it, then I won't force it."

Lin Ji got up and left, followed by Lu Zhaoer and Chang Huai.

After leaving the Jiang family, Lu Zhaoer asked, "Why didn't you let me talk just now? The Jiang family is obviously hiding something."

Lin Ji shook his head and said, "If Jiang's family is willing to cooperate, they won't be able to figure out what to do after so long. It's impossible to ask questions like this. You have to put the evidence on the table so that you can ask questions."
