In the blink of an eye, a week has passed since Zhou Qian's wedding.
The lives of the people in Qingyang County have returned to their usual calm.
After experiencing the Zhou family's generosity, many people were talking about whether such an experience would happen again when Zhou Qian gave birth to a child.
During this period of time, Lin Ji rarely had any leisure time and had been practicing at home, but he was still close to breaking through to the fourth realm.
In the early morning, before dawn, a hurried knock on the door interrupted Lin Ji's practice.
"Captain Lin, something happened!"
Lin Ji quickly walked out of the house and opened the door to the yard.
He was a police officer from the county government when he came.
"Captain, please go to the Yamen and have a look. Old Qiao has encountered a ghost."
"A ghost?" Lin Ji's expression froze.
Lao Qiao is the watchman in the county. He is the one who beats a gong and shouts in the middle of the night when everyone is sleeping soundly.
Logically speaking, Lao Qiao would never leave the county, but in the county... this is not Liangcheng. Where did the ghost come from at night?
Lao Qiao has been on the watch all his life and has never had any problems.
After sending away the police officers, Lin Ji returned home, dressed neatly, and hurried to the county government office.
On the way, I also met Lu Cong, who lived not far away and had just been woken up.
Guo Yi has arrived with the sleepy Lingyin.
These two people came down from the sect to gain experience and did not buy real estate in Qingyang County, so they lived next to the Yamen.
"Zhou Qian...forget it." Seeing that only Zhou Qian had not arrived, Lin Ji didn't bother to talk to him.
Arriving in the lobby of the Yamen, Lao Qiao's body was placed on a wooden board. His eyes were wide open and his mouth was tightly closed, but there was a faint blood stain on his lips from his bite.
"Not dead yet, but soon." Wuzuo Lao Xing looked sad. Lao Qiao was his lifelong friend. How could he accept it calmly when he saw his friend in trouble.
"My condolences." Lin Ji patted Lao Xing on the shoulder and looked at Lao Qiao.
At the same time, Guo Yi also spoke from the side: "The lips are blue, the body is stiff, and the life is gone... It is indeed a recruitment of ghosts and harms people."
Lin Ji nodded.
Lao Xing reached out and pinched Lao Qiao's chin.
A strange smell suddenly came out.
Lin Ji frowned and looked at Lao Xing in confusion.
"what happened?"
"I don't know anything about monsters, but my breath smells so bad, and what Agent Guo said before, I should be frightened to death."
While talking, Lao Qiao breathed his last.
Lao Xing sighed, stretched out his hand and closed Lao Qiao's eyes.
"Who discovered this?" Lin Ji asked.
"The police patrolling the streets at night said they saw Lao Qiao lying on the side of the road and thought he was ill, but when they pulled him back they realized something was wrong." Guo Yi said, then frowned, "How could there be ghosts in the county? ? To be able to harm people so unscrupulously, even in the middle of the night, is a terrible thing to say the least."
Lin Ji thought so too.
Most of the ordinary ghosts and wild ghosts have just died and still have their wits.
This kind of little ghost will disappear in a short time, and naturally he will not harm anyone, just like Miss Luo when he met by chance.
But if the ghost begins to practice ignorantly, such as ingesting the vitality of animals or people, it will begin to transform into a powerful ghost.
He lost all his intelligence and turned into a ghost, leaving only the instinct to hunt for life.
The ghost soldiers are extremely weak. Although they can harm people, they will not dare to approach young people with enough yang energy.
And the county town is full of living people. How can the little ghost soldiers dare to enter the city easily? At most, they will kill a few rabbits in the mountains and fields.
Further up, there are fierce ghosts.
"But as for the fierce ghosts... we are not far from Liangcheng. Aren't all the nearby fierce ghosts defecting to the ghost king of Liangcheng? How could they harm people in Qingyang County?" Lin Ji couldn't figure it out.
If only it had been before, there would occasionally be a few ghosts causing trouble in Qingyang County.
But now at the pass, Liangcheng is besieged by thousands of ghosts. The ghost king of Liangcheng has restrained his men. There are no evil ghosts running around.
Guo Yi and others couldn't figure it out, but no matter what, the matter had to be resolved.
Lin Ji glanced outside the hall and saw that it was already bright.
"Don't rest at night these days, just patrol the county town." Lin Ji ordered, "The evil ghost is only in the second level at most, and Ayane can deal with it, so there is no need to panic."
"Lu Cong, you are only in the first level. Be careful. If you encounter one, just scream. We will arrive soon."
"Yes." Lu Cong nodded.
Ayane suddenly asked: "What if it's not a fierce ghost but a ghost general?"
Lin Ji glanced at Ling Yin and laughed dumbly, too lazy to explain.
"If it was a ghost general, Lao Qiao wouldn't be alive now." Guo Yi whispered from the side.
"Okay, let's arrange it this way." Lin Ji waved his hands to send everyone away, but found that only Lu Cong had left. Lingyin and Guo Yi seemed to have something to say.
"Do you want to see me?" Lin Ji found a chair and sat down. Before the two of them could speak, he asked again, "Where is Zhou Qian? It's been so long and he hasn't come yet?"
While he was talking, footsteps sounded outside the hall.
Zhou Qian quickly walked into the lobby.
"I said, even if you are newlyweds, you are not a young boy who has just experienced human affairs, right?" Lin Ji said helplessly.
A slight smile appeared on Zhou Qian's face, and then his expression turned solemn.
"Captain Lin, this is my resignation."
"Resignation? Are you quitting?" Lin Ji took the resignation and frowned, "Zhou Qian, I haven't been harsh on you before, right? I know you don't have this ambition, so if you do something dangerous, I will tell you not to do it. Mixed."
"Yes, Zhou Qian has taken care of Captain Lin." Zhou Qian nodded quickly and explained, "I am going to move away with my wife and go to Xiangzhou."
"Move away? Don't you care about your father?"
"My father is always going strong. Haha, my second mother is pregnant." Zhou Qian smiled helplessly.
Lin Ji was really surprised this time.
Mr. Zhou must be over fifty years old. Your Zhou family has a tradition.
Lin Ji accepted his resignation, thought for a moment, and said after considering it: "If you want to leave, I won't stop you, but your wife..."
"As expected, you can tell. Yes, Xiaomei is a monk." Zhou Qian did not hide it, "Xiaomei is a disciple of the Hehuan Sect. Because the Hehuan Sect is in Xiangzhou, that's why I plan to move there with her."
"Hehuan Sect?"
Lin Ji thought for a moment, frowned and said, "Why did the disciples of the Hehuan Sect come to Liangzhou? And even went to a brothel..."
"It's not convenient for me to tell you the inside story, but if you insist on knowing..."
"No, as long as it doesn't harm the people, I don't really want to hear it." Lin Ji shook his head and waved his hand, "Okay, if you want to leave, just leave quickly."
Zhou Qian bowed deeply and said solemnly: "Boss, I wish you a bright future and a prosperous military fortune."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Qian left quickly.
Lin Ji sighed softly. The manpower under his command was already insufficient and the quality was worrying, but now another one was gone.
Then he looked at Guo Yi and Lingyin on the side.
"What happened to you two? You two have to submit your resignation, right?"
As soon as the words were spoken, Ayane handed over a letter coquettishly.
Lin Ji's face suddenly fell.
