There were footsteps outside the study, and a moment later, Sun Hai walked in with Zhu Yu.
Lin Ji was sitting on the chair behind the desk.
He wanted to pretend to read a book and talk to these two people without raising his head.
But after thinking about it, I let it go. This shelf is really not interesting to hold.
"Master Lin." Sun Hai and Zhu Yu bowed and saluted.
"It doesn't have to be like this in the future. We are all colleagues of Supervisor Tiansi. I am a sixth-grade chief arrester, so I don't have to pay so much attention." Lin Ji waved his hand and said.
Even though he said this, Lin Ji still felt the difference between the chief arrester and the head arrester.
The seventh-level head catcher also has an official position.
But no one had ever called him Master Lin before, and he himself didn't realize that he was an official.
Now that he had taken up the position of Chief Constable, he had only been promoted to one rank, but Lin Ji could clearly feel that the people around him were starting to be wary of him.
Although maybe there are others who have just arrived and are not familiar with it yet.
But after all, it is not as comfortable as Qingyang County.
"What do you want from me?" Lin Ji asked casually.
"Master Lin, Sun is here to express his gratitude. If you were not present last night, if the ghost general had entered the city, there would have been a big mess."
"It's just my responsibilities, there's no need to say thank you." Lin Ji shook his head, "Although the chief arrest is not like the head arrest and the fast one, he has to do everything himself, but there is absolutely no reason to sit idly by when things happen."
Sun Hai twitched the corners of his mouth, as if he wanted to smile, but his smile was really ugly.
But Zhu Yu muttered: "The previous chief arrest was not like this..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Yu was glared hard by Sun Hai and quickly closed his mouth.
Sun Haize said: "Originally, I heard yesterday that the new chief arrester had arrived. It was the time when the county chief arrester below was promoted in an unusual way. I was still a little dissatisfied. Please don't blame me, Mr. Lin."
"Is there still this matter? Could it be that Capt. Sun has also been eyeing the position of the Chief Constable before?" Lin Ji was quite curious.
Sun Hai shook his head.
"The position of chief arrester in Liangzhou cannot fall on me. After all, I am just a deputy chief arrester in the third realm. There is also Wu Fei on top, or it is someone from the capital. It can't be me anyway."
"Well, just now Capt. Sun said he was here to say thank you. Is there anything else?"
Sun Hai said bluntly: "Wu Fei has been deposed, and the new head catcher in Liangcheng should be nominated by Mr. Lin."
"Then it's up to you to take over. I'm not familiar with the place, and I have nothing to make decisions about." Lin Ji said casually, "You were the deputy chief of police before, and now you should be promoted."
"Thank you, Master Lin." Sun Hai came to see Lin Ji for this reason. Liangcheng is not as good as Qingyang County, and he is not the only deputy arrester. There are many people who are qualified to become full-time arresters.
Now that he got what he wanted, he breathed a sigh of relief. Although this matter still needs to be reviewed by Zhan Chengfeng, Mr. Zhan is busy with many things and seldom cares about this aspect. What's more, Lin Ji is his newly appointed chief arrester.
After Sun Hai and Zhu Yu left, Lin Ji opened the study window and looked at the scene outside.
The yamen is not really quiet. Not far from the side hall is the corridor. You can often see many people who are obviously not yamen messengers coming in and out.
It was so lively to welcome and send off.
The yamen servants below all had tense expressions on their faces, and they did not dare to say any nonsense when they were on duty.
This reminded Lin Ji of the government officials in Qingyang County.
It was common for people to cheat on each other and use a stick as a pillow. The stick was used as a killing stick, but in Qingyang County, where the butt was bigger, there was no need for it at all.
Especially the yamen guard who was keeping watch at night heard that a thief had taken away his money bag during the last night watch, and he had a big fight with his mother-in-law when he went home. She insisted that he had an affair at night.
I don't know what happened in the end.
Then he thought of Lu Cong again, and no one was talking about trivial matters in his ears.
There is also the arrogant Zhong Xiaoyan. I wonder if her arrogant young lady has tempered her temper.
"Qingyang County is still comfortable." Lin Ji sighed.
Looking at the seal of the chief arrester on the table, Lin Ji thought for a while, picked up his pen and wrote a letter of appointment, asking Guo Yi to take over his position as the chief arrester of Qingyang County.
He stamped it and called his errand man below to hand it over.
After finishing all these chores, it was just noon.
But Lin Ji couldn't sit still anymore, so he left the Yamen and returned to his house.
As soon as he entered the gate, the housekeeper Lao Li hurriedly greeted him.
"Master, are you coming back for dinner? I will give you orders..."
"No need, I'll do it myself." Lin Ji shook his head, "Where is the kitchen? Lead the way."
Follow Lao Li to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, there were three or five maids wearing aprons, sitting aside and resting.
Seeing Lin Jila, the maids quickly stood up and saluted.
"Why don't they cook and they have to stay in the kitchen?" Lin Ji looked at Lao Li.
"This is the previous rule. The previous master gave orders, and the servants must serve the master at all times."
"There will no longer be these rules. You can do whatever you have to do."
Lin Ji waved his hand and said: "Leave two of them to help me cook, and the rest can go back and rest. You can go out for a walk if you have nothing to do on weekdays. I don't have so many rules."
When the maids heard this, they were speechless for a moment in surprise. This new master actually wanted to cook in person?
"Master, this..."
"What I said doesn't work?" Lin Ji raised his eyebrows.
Lao Li didn't dare to say any more.
"Why don't you thank me soon, sir!"
"Thank you, Master!" The maids thanked him repeatedly.
Lin Ji was a little carried away by the sweet voices of these little girls.
After sending away the maids, he left the two kitchen helpers to wash and chop vegetables, while Lin Ji put away a piece of good pork belly.
In less than half an hour, bursts of aroma came from the kitchen.
Lin Ji stood in front of the big pot with a frying spoon, very busy.
But while he was busy, Lao Li came again.
"Master, we have a visitor."
"Are they from those families in the city? They are all missing." Lin Ji didn't even raise his head, staring at the meat in the pot.
"It's a Taoist priest who says he's your friend."
"Taoist priest? What does he look like?"
"He is in his early forties, looks quite slovenly, and very thin." Lao Li described.
"Take him to the restaurant and wait for us to have dinner together later." Lin Ji laughed dumbly.
Unexpectedly, Taoist Pingxin came to Liangcheng again.
Didn't this old Taoist just escape from Liangcheng to Qingyang County? Why did he come back on his own?
How strange.
Not long after, Lin Ji came to the restaurant carrying the freshly cooked twice-cooked pork, followed by two maids carrying side dishes.
"Lin Captou... No, now it's time to call Master Lin." Taoist Pingxin stood up and saluted.
"Hey, do you still talk about these rules? Let's talk about it after you're full." Lin Ji greeted with a smile.
The sky is big and the earth is big, and it’s a big deal if you don’t have enough to eat.
