Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

Chapter 74

Those were two servants in linen clothes with white cloths on their arms, sitting next to Lin Ji.

The two spoke in a low voice, but they couldn't hide from Lin Ji's snooping.

"Why do you think the old man is so ruthless? The old man is over 80 and still suffers such a big crime."

"Who said it wasn't? He starved to death alive. I saw it when I went to collect the body. The old man and his wife are both skinny and dry."

"I don't know if the monsters in our house have been solved, this matter is so troublesome..."

"The monster has been making trouble for so long, it's okay, but our master is too cruel, that's my father and mother."

Hearing this, the two seemed to realize that Lin Ji was at the side, subconsciously glanced at Lin Ji, and shut up.

Lin Ji is not ready to give up.

"Are you two servants of the Zheng family?" Lin Ji walked over and asked directly.

The two servants looked at each other and got up to leave.

"Stop." Lin Ji slapped his token on the table.

Naturally, the two servants did not know Jin Zhanling, the chief arrester, but this did not prevent them from realizing that the man in front of them was a master official.

"My lord, the two of us are indeed the servants of the Zheng family."

"You just said how the second elder of the Zheng family died?" Lin Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a little unbelievable in his heart.

"I don't know about it."

"Bold, is it so easy to be fooled by being an official? If you don't do it honestly, be careful that I will detain you and send you to the Yamen for punishment."

"My lord, I starved to death. After monsters appeared in our back garden, the master ordered the whole family to move out of the back garden, except for the second elder who lived next door to the back garden." The two finally got a little scared and said truthfully.

"What's more, the master didn't let us deliver food to the second elder, and he didn't let the second elder leave the back garden. He said that he had already provoked monsters, and he couldn't let them harm more people."

The two servants spoke to each other and gave an overview of the matter.

Hearing this, Lin Ji heaved a sigh of relief, and lost even the slightest appetite for noodles.

"Follow me to the yamen." Lin Ji got up and was about to leave.

The faces of the two servants suddenly changed drastically.

"My lord, we did nothing wrong!"

"You can't wrong a good person, we just told the truth."

"I'm not accusing you, stop talking nonsense, just follow me to the yamen." Lin Ji stared, and the two servants immediately followed behind Lin Ji obediently, not daring to say anything.

Soon, Lin Ji brought two servants of the Zheng family to the government office.

Asking the yamen servant to arrange a room for the two servants of the Zheng family, Lin Ji got into his study in the side hall.

He probably has sorted out the matter of the Zheng family by now.

But it was also because of this that it made him feel incredible.

"No wonder the grass spirit said that he didn't harm anyone. It turned out that the second elder was not killed by the spirit, but their son Zheng Yunxuan starved to death!"

There was absolutely no possibility of those two servants lying. They didn't even know that Lin Ji was listening to them at first.

"It's really unconscionable to starve your parents to death, but why would you do that?"

Lin Ji frowned.

If it is said that the poor can't afford to support their parents, there are some lame reasons for doing so.

But the Zheng family is by no means a poor family. There are seven or eight shops in the city and they live in a big house. How can they not afford to support two old people?

"Unless... Zheng Yunxuan is very clear about what happened in his backyard, knowing that it was written by the Tian family!"

Thinking of this, Lin Ji's thoughts suddenly became clear.

"That's right, that's it! I think that Tian Jiufeng was the first to arrive before coming here, maybe it was Zheng Yunxuan who had already reported before coming to the government office to report!"

"The Tian family is the mastermind behind the scenes, Zheng Yunxuan is the gun in the hands of the Tian family, and I am the target."

Lin Ji finally sorted things out.

With this premise, Zheng Yunxuan also had an explanation for killing his second elder.

"What a cruel heart! Since the Tian family asked the Zheng family to help, they will definitely not let the Zheng family die. After all, it is just a plant monster, and the Tian family did not intend to kill anyone at the beginning!"

"That boy Zhou Ying also said earlier that the Zheng family just moved to Liangcheng."

"So Zheng Yunxuan killed his parents on purpose just to show the Tian family that he paid a lot of money for doing things for the Tian family? Or is it to further cling to the Tian family?"

After figuring out the joints, when Zheng Yunxuan's cautious expression appeared in Lin Ji's mind, he subconsciously shivered.

Not fear, but shock.

Such a ruthless character.

"There's a nest of snakes and rats, it's really bad." Lin Ji narrowed his eyes slightly.

From the very beginning, he was not prepared to end this matter easily. If the Tian family dared to plot against him, he would naturally take revenge.

Now there is only one more Zheng family.

"Come on!" Lin Ji yelled outside.

"Master Lin." Several government servants walked in, including Zhou Ying.

Seeing Zhou Ying, Lin Ji threw his token over.

"This is my golden beheading order, take this token and go to Tian's house to get someone!" Lin Ji said coldly.

Zhou Ying's eyes widened.

"My lord, the Tian family?"

"It's the Tian family."

Zhou Ying shrank his neck, but seeing Lin Ji's serious face, he didn't dare to talk nonsense.

"My lord, who are you taking?"

"What's the name of the Patriarch of the Tian Family?"

"Tazawagawa."

"That's him. Catch him and throw him into the prison. He will be interrogated tomorrow morning." Lin Ji waved his hand.

This matter is not small, although Zhou Ying intends to cling to Lin Ji, but he has to ask clearly.

"My lord, do you want to report to the procurator for the promotion?"

Liangcheng is the prefectural city of Liangzhou. Generally speaking, cases in the city are tried by the procurator and then submitted to the Ministry of Punishment.

Lin Ji naturally knew these rules. Although he basically did not deal with officials other than Tiansi, his common sense was clear, but if the case involved monsters, it would be a different matter.

"No need, the Tian family is involved in instigating spirits and monsters to kill people, this matter is not under the supervision of the procurator." Lin Ji shook his head and said, "Master Zhan is not here. If such a thing happened in the city, I should interrogate it myself."

"Hurry up and get someone." Lin Ji urged.

"Obey." Zhou Ying hurriedly saluted and left with a group of yamen servants.

Tianfu.

In the lobby, the head of the family, Tian Zechuan, was sitting on the main seat, with a worried expression on his face.

Next to him is his younger brother Tian Zeming, and next to him sits Tian Jiufeng, Liang Cheng's deputy chief arrester.

There were only these three people in the hall, and in the open space in the hall, several boxes were being neatly placed.

"Then Lin Ji really has great prestige. My Tian family offered to show his favor, and he dared to refuse like this? Did he think that a sixth-rank chief arrester could cover the sky with one hand in Liangcheng?" Tian Zechuan patted the chair fiercely. handrails.

Tian Zeming, the second master of the Tian family, shook his head and said, "Brother, we made a mistake in this matter, and we were caught by someone."

"So what?" Tian Zechuan sneered, "Could it be that he still dares to make use of it?"

"I think Mr. Lin is really brave." Tian Jiufeng sighed softly, got up and gave a slight salute to the two elders.

"Father, Second Uncle, this matter must not be neglected. Lin Ji is different from the previous chief arrester. He is not a money-grubbing and lustful person, and he is not someone to be provoked."

"Jiufeng, why even you?" Tian Zechuan was halfway through speaking, when there were suddenly chaotic footsteps outside.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Ying walked in with a group of yamen servants.

"Patriarch Tian, ​​Lord Lin's order, please go to the yamen."
