Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

Chapter 58
At Maoshi, the sky was slightly bright, and Lin Ji had a rare good sleep.

After retreating for a long time, he was called to Liangcheng as soon as he came out. He hadn't had a good rest for a long time.

The body is not tired, but the spirit is always spinning.

Using the Lightning Sword Jue last night consumed a lot of energy, but after returning home, I slept surprisingly soundly.

Walking out of the room to the main hall, in the garden outside the hall, the butler Lao Li is instructing several servant girls to take care of the flowers and plants.

Generally speaking, this job should be done by experienced gardeners.

But the previous owner of this house was a wonderful person, except for the housekeeper who was in charge of the affairs of the house, the rest of the servants were all beautiful girls.

"Arrogance and extravagance have taken over everything. Even if you are killed, you still have enough to live on." Lin Ji couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Seeing that Lin Ji had already woken up, the butler Lao Li quickly put down his work and greeted him.

"Master, I didn't expect you to wake up so early, and breakfast is not ready yet."

"Then go quickly." Lin Ji sent Lao Li away and yawned again.

Not long after, Lin Ji heard from Lao Li that breakfast was ready.

When I came to the restaurant, there was a pot of seafood porridge in the middle of the table, steaming hot and fragrant.

Next to a large pot of porridge, four cold dishes and four hot dishes were presented in delicate small dishes, with both meat and vegetables.

Lin Ji suddenly felt that the authentic donkey meat that he was quite proud of was burning, and he really saw a ghost.

"Is this the usual breakfast at the house?" Lin Ji looked at Lao Li.

"If you think it's not enough, the back kitchen is still ready." Lao Li said hastily.

Lin Ji was silent for a moment, and then asked with a bit of a cheeky face: "I have paid a lot of money for this meal, and I have to pay for this money?"

Even though he is in Qingyang County, because of Song Da's filial piety, he has saved a lot of money.

But for his poor family, it took several years to save more than 1000 taels of silver. According to this consumption level, I am afraid it will not last long.

Lao Li bowed his head and said: "Returning to the master, your predecessor died suddenly. The family members didn't take anything with them when they left, but the people from the yamen took them away. Therefore, there are more than 2 taels of silver in the house, which is enough to support the whole family. how many years."

Having said that, Lao Li carefully looked at Lin Ji.

"Speak up if you have anything to say." Lin Ji said while drinking porridge.

"Yes."

Lao Li nodded quickly, and asked: "I dare to ask, the previous chief arrester must not have died at the hands of ghosts outside the city, right?"

"Well, you guessed right." Lin Ji smiled, "It's normal that the money from the family has not been withdrawn, and his family members are probably in Yunzhou now."

Yunzhou, the extreme northern part of Kyushu, borders the snowy area in the north.

When the imperial court distributes prisoners' family members, they like to send them to Yunzhou.

Anyway, Lin Ji had heard people say that the potatoes over there were growing well.

Hearing Lin Ji's response, Lao Li didn't dare to ask any more questions, and left with his head down.

After breakfast, Lin Ji changed from his original cotton gown to a satin gown under the service of a maid, and then left home and came to the Liangcheng government office.

Although it was only his first day in office, it was obvious that Lin Ji's appearance had already been spread.After all, he was the ruthless person who tossed and crippled Wu Fei, so it was hard to hide this kind of news.

After entering the government office and passing through two or three inner gates, Lin Ji was stopped by someone.

This man was about in his early thirties, with a bookish look on his body, and he always had a smile on his face.

"The chief arrester, Shimoda Fumiliang, is the deputy secretary of the former chief arrester."

After greeting each other, Tian Wenliang brought Lin Ji to the office of the chief arrester.

This is a side hall in the yamen, a small hall for receiving guests, a study room, nothing more.

Lin Ji looked around for a while, and then looked around in the study.

Before he could sit down behind the desk, Tian Wenliang suddenly said again: "Master Lin, the chief arrester is in charge of the affairs of all parts of the state, the promotion of demon arresters in various places, the evaluation of head arresters, and difficult cases must be handled by you. , please move to the dossier library."

"Dossier library?" Lin Ji was stunned.

Recording a major case is only a few sheets of paper, and the case files of three years in Qingyang County are only the thickness of a book.

This also needs a warehouse?
But when Lin Ji followed Tian Wenliang to the dossier, he remained silent.

This is a rather large room with 36 bookshelves filled with countless files.

"Every bookshelf corresponds to a county under the jurisdiction of Liangzhou, and the deepest bookshelf is the files of Liangcheng."

Tian Wenliang explained unhurriedly: "Master Lin, as the chief arrester, he should have some understanding of the situation in the various places below, right?"

"Well, it should be so." Lin Ji nodded subconsciously.

Tian Wenliang laughed.

"Then please read through all these files first. Otherwise, when the people below come to work, but you ask three questions and don't know, you will not lose face alone."

Hearing this, Lin Ji looked at Tian Wenliang.

"I want to read all these files? Are many of them not recent? Old cases, I want to read too?"

"It's something to see." Tian Wenliang nodded.

Lin Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Tian Wenliang.

He figured out something was wrong.

"The previous chief arrester also read all these files?"

"I've seen it." Tian Wenliang said.

Lin Ji casually took out a file that had been piled up under the bookshelf.

He opened it and took a look.

"This is the three-year dossier of Emperor Mian not long after the first emperor ascended the throne! How many years have passed?"

"For decades, tell me how the former chief arrester managed to read all these files?"

"Your predecessor has been in office for nearly ten years, so he naturally has time," Tian Wenliang said with his head down.

Hearing this, Lin Ji yawned.

"Tian Wenliang, how long have you been the secretary of the chief arrest?"

"It's been seven or eight years."

"Then you must have followed the previous chief arrester, and you are familiar with these files, right?"

Without waiting for Tian Wenliang to reply, Lin Ji sneered and said, "In three days, give me all these dossiers to simplify. I, the chief arrester, have done everything, what do you want your subordinate to do?"

"Three days?" Tian Wenliang suddenly raised his head, looking directly at Lin Ji for the first time.

"If you can't do it, get out. I don't mind changing to another document. I'll go first. You can stay in this file library."

Regardless of Tian Wenliang's ugly face, Lin Ji turned his head and left.

But after taking two steps, he stopped again, turned around and patted Tian Wenliang on the shoulder.

"Don't be a gunman for others. I know that my airborne chief arrester will make many people unhappy, but if you come to trouble me, don't you take me, Mr. Lin, seriously?"

After the words fell, Lin Ji laughed and left the dossier.

After returning to the side hall, not long after entering the study, a servant from the yamen came to report.

"Master Lin, Catcher Sun is here."

Lin Ji suddenly remembered Sun Hai who had a face-to-face meeting last night.

"Let him in."

　Have a nice weekend everyone~
