Lindong County, the largest county in Jinzhou, has a vast territory, rich resources, and many talented people.
Almost half of the disciples in Pingzhou Academy are from Lindong County.
and.
Lindong County is also close to Yunzhou, and many scholars with outstanding qualifications will choose to study at Qingping Academy.
After all, Qingping Academy has been registered in the Holy Academy, and its resources are not comparable to those of Pingzhou Academy.
…
at this time.
Lindong County Government.
"I have been unlucky for eight lifetimes. I am about to be promoted, but something like this happened. Li Si, how did you become a county captain?"
The county magistrate Zhang Dong was furious in the county government hall.
The middle-aged man in the hall, wearing the uniform of a county lieutenant, lowered his head and sweat broke out on his forehead.
This time he was really unlucky.
Several murders occurred in the county, and the victims were all scholars.
He, the county lieutenant in charge of public security arrests, cannot absolve himself of the blame.
"Sir... Your Majesty, if the scholars are not yours, who are you to take care of? Moreover, I have already tried my best to assist the bachelors of Pingzhou Academy in hunting down the demon, but who knows..."
When Li Si said this, he slightly raised his head and glanced at the county magistrate in the hall, his body trembled suddenly, and then said: "Who would have thought... not only did those two scholars not catch the devil, but they also risked their own lives!"
County Magistrate Zhang Dong had a dark face and said in a deep voice: "Yes, we have no control over the affairs of scholars, but the death of four scholars happened in our county. This is your dereliction of duty as the magistrate of Zhenmo Hall!"
"Two people died in Qingping Academy, and two more died in Pingzhou Academy. If the demon is not caught this time, my future will be completely ruined in your hands!"
Zhang Dong stared at County Lieutenant Li Si, his expression softened, and said: "I have written to Qingping Academy and Pingzhou Academy a few days ago. I think a master will come over in the next two days. Then you will follow up with all your strength and assist in the investigation. Find out the whereabouts of Chu Yao Dao and solve this case as soon as possible!”
"I humbly obey my orders!"
Li Si cupped his hands.
Magistrate Zhang waved his hand in annoyance, and Magistrate Li quickly retreated.
…
In addition to guarding the Taoist arts, the Demon Hall of the county government is also responsible for the security and arrests in the county, and is in charge of the county captain.
The agents of the Demon Suppressing Hall are all very capable warriors.
The powerful blood in them has the effect of suppressing Taoism, and the Yin gods dare not approach easily.
"grown ups!"
As soon as County Lieutenant Li Si entered the Demon Suppression Hall, several detectives surrounded him.
"Where is Zhao Zhongcheng? Have the files been sorted out? The master of the academy will come over in the next two days and ask him to sort them out quickly!"
Li Si ordered him to go down and sit down on a chair in the hall. His subordinate handed him some tea to rinse his mouth with.
Others rubbed their legs and shoulders, finally feeling much better.
Not long after.
A young man wearing a Confucian shirt walked over with several files in his arms and said, "Master Li, the files on several murder cases are here!"
"Okay, you scholars should do this kind of work efficiently!"
Li Si glanced at the young man and said, "Zhao Zhongcheng, what the hell are you doing with a bitter face all day long? Is your mother-in-law dead or something like that?"
The young man named Zhao Zhongcheng was trembling slightly.
Then he raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Okay, okay, back off!"
Li Si waved his hand impatiently, then flipped through the file at random, muttering: "What word is this? These scholars are so damn talented, how can we write so many words?"
"My lord, no matter how talented Zhao Zhongcheng is, he will still be your subordinate!"
"Hahaha!"
…
Li Wenbo took the horse and arrived at the Lindong County Yamen with Lin Yi.
"Sir, the Lindong County Government is in front of us. It is said that the county magistrate Zhang Dong is a scholar who took the examination with me. However, he later chose to join the imperial court and became the county master this time!"
Li Wenbo smiled, turned to look at Lin Yi, and said, "After this demon is solved, let's set off to the capital, okay?"
"What's wrong with this? It's about human life, so it's no small matter!" Lin Yi said seriously.
In fact, he is very concerned about cases involving human life.
It would also be a great thing for the people to put down the evil spirits who kill scholars as soon as possible.
If the evildoers do not subdue the law, life will surely be ruined in the future.
Lin has also seen such books in the academy, any scholar who practices Taoism.
You will eventually embark on this path.
Unless you still have some conscience, you will choose to end yourself before becoming a demon!
"Walk!"
As he spoke, Li Wenbo snatched the reins from Lin Yi's hand and said with a smile, "Master, I'll tie the horse, you go in first!"
"kindness!"
Lin Yi nodded and immediately walked into the county government office.
"Sir, what's the matter with you? The government is an important place, so don't disturb the peace of the county master with some insignificant matters!"
As soon as Lin Yicai entered the county government office, a thin middle-aged man wearing a long gown came over and spoke to remind him.
He looked Lin Yi up and down, and was shocked: He is a scholar!
"I'm a disciple of Pingzhou Academy, and I'm here for the demonic matter."
Lin Yi looked at the middle-aged man and said calmly: "Go and inform your county magistrate!"
hiss!
Such a young wife?
The middle-aged man took a breath, bowed quickly and said: "It turns out that I am the master of Pingzhou Academy. I am disrespectful. I am Song Fugui, the master of Lindong County Yamen!"
"Master, please wait a moment!"
Song Fugui turned around and ran towards the backyard of the county government office.
"Master?"
Lin Yi felt funny at this title, shook his head, and sat in the main hall of the county government office.
…
"Sir, here it comes, here it comes!"
Song Fugui entered the backyard and shouted at the top of his voice.
Zhang Dong was so frightened that his official hat was tilted. He straightened his official hat and glared at Song Fugui, who was out of breath: "How shameless are you shouting! Who is here?"
"Sir, the Master from Pingzhou Academy is here!" Song Fugui said.
Uh-huh!
Zhang Dong immediately stood up from the chair and urged: "Quick, quick, quick, inform County Lieutenant Li and ask him to prepare the files. Whether I can be promoted depends on the help of the academy master to solve this case!"
Said.
Zhang Dong quickly walked to the county government hall.
Master Song Fugui quickly ran to inform County Lieutenant Li Si.
"The Master from Pingzhou Academy is here?"
County Lieutenant Li, who was squinting his eyes and enjoying himself, stood up quickly after hearing the master's words and said, "I don't like dealing with these scholars the most. Let Zhao Zhongcheng accompany me to meet them!"
"Zhao Zhongcheng, the boss asked you to pick up the guests..."
The policemen's roar of laughter rang out in the Demon Suppression Hall.
…
"I, Zhang Dong, the magistrate of Lindong County, have met the Master!"
As soon as Zhang Dong entered the main hall of the county government office, he saw Lin Yi wearing a Confucian shirt and bowed his head forward.
But then he was stunned for a moment.
"Ninth grade... enlightenment?"
Buzz!
Zhang Dong was completely stunned. As a seventh-grade county magistrate, he could still see Lin Yi's cultivation level at a glance.
After all, he is also a scholar.
"Master Zhang, I am not a master, but an ordinary bachelor of the academy!"
Lin Yi knew what Zhang Dong was confused about, so he explained.
"Not Master? Did Pingzhou Academy send you here?"
Zhang Dong's brows furrowed into the Chinese character "Sichuan", and he looked quite displeased. He said in a deep voice: "Is this how Dean Zheng treats this demonic incident? You go back. If you die in Lindong County, what will happen to me?" I’m afraid I won’t even be able to keep my black gauze hat!”
