Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

Chapter 129 Homecoming
More than ten days later, in Liangcheng, the government office.

Lin Ji sat opposite Zhan Chengfeng, watching Zhan Chengfeng pour himself tea by himself.

If it were in the past, at this moment he would have put on a look of fear and reverence, holding the teacup respectfully.

But at this moment, he was sitting slack, not even a single bit of flattery could be seen on his body.

Even Zhan Chengfeng finds it strange.

After putting down the teapot, he asked curiously, "Although I know that most of your respect is superficial, why did you go to the capital and come back, and don't even do this superficial?"

"Could it be that after meeting the big shots in the capital, and coming back to Liangzhou, you already look down on me, a third-rank town official?"

"Master Zhan, stop making fun of the lower officials."

Lin Ji smiled wryly twice, and handed in his written resignation.

After Zhan Chengfeng took the resignation letter, he only saw the two large characters on the envelope, his brows frowned, and he looked at Lin Ji with displeasure.

"Resignation? What do you mean? Lin Ji, I think that I treat you well, and I have never criticized you."

Lin Ji quickly waved his hands and shook his head, and briefly explained his affairs.

Hearing Lin Ji's narration, Zhan Chengfeng frowned deeper, grabbed his wrist and probed for a while.

"Is it true that this is the method of the evil Buddha, and there is no cure even in Beijing?" Zhan Chengfeng couldn't help asking.

Although he didn't come to the scene in person, it's fine if the people below don't know what happened in the capital. The town officials of the third grade will not be kept secret, and no one dares to hide it.

After all, the official of the town government is already a high-ranking supervisor of Tiansi, and anyone who controls a state, except for the people's livelihood, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a big official in the frontier.

"Maybe someone in Beijing can cure it, but I can't find it." Lin Ji shook his head slightly.

Even Fang Yunshan was at a loss. If he wanted to try again, he might have to find the royal doctor, or a senior expert in the royal family.

But without Peidi's permission, the royal physician would never act for him, a little fifth-rank travel star official.

And Peidi will not make a decree specifically for Lin Ji.

As for the royal Qin family?

After staying in the capital for a long time, Lin Ji didn't even meet a few Qin family members. The princes and princes of Daqin are very noble, and usually they don't show up easily, and it's even rarer to walk with the common people.

With such a family whose eyes are higher than the top, Lin Ji will not put his hopes on them.

Knowing about Lin Ji's troubles, Zhan Chengfeng naturally wouldn't say anything to persuade him to stay.

He was just a little bit sorry.

"As soon as you leave, you don't know who should take the place of the chief arrester."

"I think Sun Hai is good." Lin Ji said casually.

Among the several head arresters in Liangcheng, only Sun Hai gave Lin Ji a high look.

"Sun Hai can't do it, his father sent me a special message, asking me to suppress this kid." Zhan Chengfeng shook his head decisively.

"Sun Hai's father?" Lin Ji was stunned.

"You should have seen it, it is Sun Heya, the governor of Jingzhou Town."

"Master Sun is Sun Hai's father?" Lin Ji's eyes widened. The news was outrageous.

Lin Ji suddenly remembered that when he first met Sun Hai, Sun Hai also said that he alone could not be the chief arrester.

At that time, Lin Ji didn't ask in detail, he only thought that this kid might have something to hide.

Who would have thought that it turned out to be the suppression from her own father.

"The old grandson told me to keep my mouth shut, so you just don't want to say it outside. I only mentioned it casually because I saw you were leaving soon."

That's what he said, but Zhan Chengfeng's face clearly showed a bit of weird joy.

That is the joy of sharing.

It can be seen that Zhan Chengfeng seems to have been held back by this gossip for a long time, and now he is not complaining.

After a few more gossips, Lin Ji got up and said goodbye.

He has nothing to worry about in Liangcheng.

I found Sun Hai in the government office, and after saying goodbye, I saw my dog ​​leg Zhou Ying again.

He handed over 1000 taels of banknotes and asked Zhou Ying to find another job.

An ordinary person can only be forced by life to catch up fast.

Since you can't practice, why not take your money and become a rich man.

In this regard, Zhou Ying agreed very simply after knowing that Lin Ji had resigned.

Clearly a smart guy.

After finishing the Liangcheng matter hastily, Lin Ji left Liangzhou and continued all the way south.

……

In the dark evening, Lin Ji could already see the outline of Qingyang County from a distance.

"Finally back." He breathed a sigh of relief.

Only seeing Qingyang County can comfort his rather precarious mood with a bit of peace.

It's like a wanderer who went out and returned to his hometown.

Maybe it was because of the dark sky, when Lin Ji entered the county, the peddlers were busy closing their stalls, and no one paid any attention to him.

He was not in a hurry to go to the county office, but walked back to his small courtyard along the familiar street.

Pushing open the courtyard door, Lin Ji didn't enter in a hurry, but stopped and looked towards the next door.

The next door was pitch black, and there was no movement after searching with the spiritual sense.

Looks like it's been unoccupied for a while.

At this moment, there was a loud shout behind him.

"Who is spying here?!"

The voice was so familiar that a smile appeared on Lin Ji's face.

But just when he turned his head and saw the man behind him, the smile on his face suddenly froze for the most part.

"Boss?" Lu Cong looked at Lin Ji in surprise, but then subconsciously turned sideways.

Lin Ji took two quick steps and came to Lu Cong's side, looking at the left side he wanted to cover.

Lu Cong was still as strong and tall as usual, but his left arm was gone, leaving only his empty sleeve.

"What's going on?" Lin Ji asked with an ugly face.

Lu Cong twitched the corners of his mouth, with a calm expression on his face.

"There was a monster that harmed people in the county before, and I happened to meet it."

"Boss, don't look at me missing an arm, that monster with the strength of the second level was beaten to death by me."

Lu Cong was only at the first level of body training, and he was indeed commendable for being able to cross the border and kill monsters at the second level.

It's just that the price is too high.

Hearing this, Lin Ji didn't know what to say.

This is Jian Tiansi's demon capture.

Compared with those colleagues who died unexpectedly, Lu Cong was lucky to be alive.

After a moment of silence, Lin Ji took out the brocade box in the package and took a Guiyuan Pill.

"Take this elixir and try to break through the second realm."

"This elixir is very precious, isn't it?" Although Lu Cong was nervous, he could see the extraordinaryness of this elixir.

"Don't talk nonsense, eat as soon as I give you." Lin Ji handed Guiyuan Pill over, and then said, "It's not a big deal to lose an arm. Jian Tiansi has Intermittent Pill. If you can achieve something in the future, it may not be a big deal." You can’t ask for one from above.”

"Hey, I don't dare to count on that." Lu Cong took the pill with a smirk and threw it into his mouth.

After chewing twice, his face flushed immediately.

"Go back to practice, don't worry about me, I'll leave later."

"Leave as soon as you get back?"

"Don't worry, I will come back when I finish my work, remember to practice hard, go back."

Watching Lu Cong go away, most of Lin Ji's sense of relief in returning to Qingyang County has dissipated.

After all, it is his subordinate who has been with him for several years, and it is impossible for Lin Ji to have no fluctuations in his heart when he encounters such a catastrophe.

"This damn world."
