Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

Chapter 465
In the third year of Shengyuan, the third day of February.

In a blink of an eye, the New Year has passed.

For the people in the capital city, the new year in the third year of Shengyuan was no different from previous years.

It is said that a lot of people died because of the evil spirit outside the city, but even if it was only in the suburbs of Beijing, it would not affect the capital after all. Therefore, this incident that made Supervisor Tiansi burnt out is nothing more than a few chatter in the eyes of the common people.

On New Year's Eve, after today's Emperor Pei offered sacrifices to heaven and ancestors, he distributed rice, flour, grain and oil to the people in the city.

The things are not worth a few dollars, but they have gained a good reputation among the common people.

Other than that, New Year's is not much to rave about.

East of the city, Lin Mansion.

Lu Zhaoer had eaten breakfast, so she got up with her big knife on her back and was about to leave.

"Are you leaving today?" Lin Ji asked.

"A lot of colleagues in Jingzhou have been killed or injured in the past month. Although I am a star in the general office, I was seconded to Mr. Sun's subordinates before, and now I am still a member of the Jingzhou government. Delaying this matter for a month is already the limit. .” Lu Zhaoer said.

If it wasn't for Lin Ji, she wouldn't delay for a second, and would have joined the Yaozhan colleagues long ago.

"Why do you care so much about this thankless job?" Lin Ji sighed softly, got up and saw him off.

The two came to the gate of the Lin Mansion side by side. After Lu Zhaoer waved her hand, she quickly walked towards the Jingzhou Mansion.

Lin Ji watched Lu Zhao'er all the time, and only looked away when she could no longer see her back.

Just as he was about to go back to the mansion, he happened to see an old man walking out of the Lu mansion diagonally opposite him with his hands behind his back.

"Duke Lu." Lin Ji quickly saluted.

With a bit of frost on Lu Guangmu's face, he looked at Lin Ji gloomily.

"Boy, Zhao'er hasn't been to your house yet! It's unreasonable to run to your house every day for more than a month."

Lin Ji had a frightened look on his face, but secretly curled his lips.

Your old man lives next door, can't you speak directly if you have any opinions?The Lord is gone, why are you angry with me?

But this is just a thought in my heart.

"Lu Guogong Haihan, I will try my best to pay attention in the future."

Hearing this, Lu Guangmu didn't want to say anything more, after a cold snort, he turned around and went back to the Lu residence.

After Lu Guangmu also disappeared, the worry and fear on Lin Ji's face disappeared immediately.

He suffered a meal for no reason, which really made people unhappy.

But he can't afford to offend the other party, and he can't offend the other party if he can, so he can only accept this dumb fault when he thinks about it.

"Go to your wine cellar to steal wine another day." Lin Ji muttered a few words, and also returned home.

At noon, Lin Ji dressed up and went out. After leaving the city, he went straight to the blacksmith shop outside the city.

A few days had passed since the agreed time to pick up the Thunder Cloud Bead, but Lin Ji was not in a hurry, the blacksmith shop would not run away anyway, so he waited for Lu Zhaoer to go out on business before preparing to get the Thunder Cloud Bead back.

After crossing the dense forest, Lin Ji soon saw the blacksmith's shop in the open space in the forest.

It's just that he didn't see Huo Bubia who was always lying on the open space smoking a pipe.

"Damn it, I won't really run away." Lin Ji was startled, don't let his words come true.

Taking a few quick steps, Lin Ji soon came to the door of the blacksmith's shop, pushed the door open, and the inside was empty, only a bed and a set of tables and chairs remained.

Nothing else was to be seen.

"The old thing won't really get my Thunder Cloud Pearl and run away, right? What does he want Thunder Cloud Pearl for a monk who is about to live?" Lin Ji frowned.

With some doubts, Lin Ji could only go back to the capital first.

Anyway, it was Fang Yunshan who introduced him, Huo Bubiao should have known about it when he went to prescription Yunshan.

Although this matter was inexplicable, Lin Ji was not too alarmed.

Ever since he almost entered Taoism in the royal treasury, he cared less about Lei Yunzhu.

"I don't know if the Dao on the Thunder Cloud Pearl is suitable for me. But it is a natural treasure, no matter whether it is suitable or not, even if it is sold for money, it will be priceless. I still have to ask why."

Soon, Lin Ji came to the general office of Jiantiansi.

He was not in a hurry to find Fang Yunshan, Lin Ji had been at home for a long time, and he always cared about the commander's errands.

Even if it's just for show.

When he came to the general office, he pushed open the door of his study in the commander-in-chief.

Sure enough, Wang Zheng was busy writing and sitting at the desk in the dark. Seeing the stack of files on his desk, Lin Ji nodded in satisfaction.

"That's right, these days when I'm not here, you've still been doing your duty, that's good."

"Master Lin is here, rare visitor."

"What did you say?" Lin Ji stared.

"It's nothing." Wang Zheng hurriedly interrupted, then lowered his head to deal with the file.

It wasn't until he finished sorting out the files on hand that he put them away that he got up and gave Lin Ji a slight salute.

"Why is Mr. Lin so busy coming to the yamen?"

"I haven't seen you for a few days, and you dare to be angry with me." Lin Ji waved Wang Zheng to sit down, and then poured a cup of tea and took a sip.

"At any rate, this officer is still in charge of the commander's errand, so you can't neglect your duties."

After the words fell, Lin Ji keenly caught Wang Zheng's lip curling movement.

Very slight, but not hidden from his eyes.

But Lin Ji didn't bother to find out, this Wang Zheng is easy to use, he is a good material, a good tool, don't let it disappear again.

Those who are able to come to the Commanding Division as deputy clerks are not only very capable, but most of them also have some background in the family. If Lin Ji offends such a person, if he quits, then Lin Ji will be caught blind.

"Is there any major case recently?" Lin Ji asked casually.

"No, everyone in Jingzhou is involved in cleaning up the Yaozu. Most of You Xing has gone, and there are few people to take care of the dereliction of duty of the subordinates." Wang Zheng shook his head.

"What about other states? Small cases are handled in this state, and major cases must be reported."

"There's no news yet, my lord may have forgotten that soon it will be time for arresters from all parts of Kyushu to go to Beijing to submit files."

Hearing this, Lin Ji was stunned for a while, and then nodded slightly after a long time.

"Well, it's already at this time." Lin Ji's tone was full of emotion.

The first year of Shengyuan, that is, two years ago.

Probably also in February and March, when he came to Beijing for the first time, he came to Beijing to report on his work as a head arrester in Qingyang County.

Two years passed in a blink of an eye.

Wang Zheng continued: "Master Zheng Lixin is already making preparations, and the debriefing will continue intermittently for a year. After all, it is impossible for all the head arresters to go to Beijing at the same time, and Kyushu will be in chaos."

Lin Ji didn't care about these things.

"This matter has nothing to do with you and me, does it?"

"Collecting files and sorting out files is the business of the General Office's office, and over there is Mr. Zheng." Wang Zheng chuckled twice. Who would have thought that the Commander-in-Chief came after going through all the cumbersome work.”

Lin Ji decisively interrupted Wang Zheng's words.

"It's good that it has nothing to do with us, and nothing happens."

"grown ups."

"how?"

"Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
