In the second year of Shengyuan, it was the second day of September.
Lin Ji stopped and walked along the way, moving forward unhurriedly and finally returned to the capital.
After this business trip, Lin Ji thought about it carefully and found that he seemed to have done nothing.
There was still no clue about the case in Pingchuan County. He made an inexplicable trip to Tianjing and then entered the secret realm of the Holy Fire Sect.
The only thing I got was the fingernail-sized flame in my dantian?
Lin Ji felt panicked at the loss.
If it weren't for the soul-splitting commission from the leader of the Holy Fire Sect, a clue to a treasure that could help people achieve enlightenment, Lin Jishao would have to curse twice before he could calm down.
After entering the capital, Lin Ji did not delay. He first went to the Jingzhou government office and met Sun Heya, the official of Jingzhou town.
It had only been a few days since we last saw Sun Heya, but he seemed to be more than ten years older. His hair had turned gray and he looked gloomy.
As soon as he saw Lin Ji, he obviously cheered up and welcomed Lin Ji into the meeting hall.
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Lin. It's really because the Jingzhou government office has been short of manpower recently, otherwise we wouldn't have asked Brother Lin to take action."
In the past, Sun Heya was somewhat arrogant in front of Lin Ji, but now Lin Ji is on a daily trip with him, and he has become more approachable.
After all, compared to Lin Ji's young potential, Fang Yunshan still has to take care of him.
Sun Heya, however, has stayed in the Riyou Realm for decades. He may not have the chance to enter Taoism in this life. Being a town official is basically his limit.
"Lord Sun, you are serious. We are all doing errands for the Supervisory Office, so why bother talking about it?" Lin Ji prevaricates casually, "Lin just returned to the capital, and he also thought that this case was under the jurisdiction of Lord Sun, so he specially came to talk to him. Report it."
"How?" Sun Heya also became more serious.
"The case is quite complicated. The real culprit has not been found, but he is involved in other things."
Lin Ji took out a copy of the case file and placed it on the table.
"What can be said, Lin has recorded it in the case file. If Mr. Sun wants to know the rest, he may have to go to the general office and ask Mr. Fang."
Upon hearing this, Sun Heya was shocked.
"I can't even talk about this matter? Do you have to get Mr. Fang's nod?"
He wasn't angry, but shocked at how troublesome the situation was.
Lin Ji nodded solemnly.
"It's not an exaggeration. If Lord Shen Longshen hadn't appeared this time, Lin might not have been able to come back."
After the words fell, Lin Ji stood up and saluted.
"Lin has to go to the main office again, so he will stay soon."
Sun Heya quickly stood up and said, "Brother Lin, walk slowly."
"Stay."
Lin Ji breathed a sigh of relief all the way out of the Jingzhou government office.
During the few words he had with Sun Heya, he used the six Buddhist skills to keep investigating Sun Heya's situation. Even when he pointed out the person behind the case, Sun Heya was just shocked and had no other thoughts.
"It seems that it's not Sun Heya who is causing trouble secretly..."
This case was handed over from the Jingzhou government office to the main government office. Lin Ji had no choice but to doubt Sun Heya's identity.
Soon, Lin Ji came to Jian Tiansi's general office again.
With his waistband revealed, the journey was smooth and he arrived directly outside Fang Yunshan's study.
Without waiting for the knock on the door, Fang Yunshan's voice could be heard inside.
"Enter."
Lin Ji opened the door and walked into the study. When he saw Fang Yunshan pointing at the empty chair, he sat down directly.
It's not the first time, and he won't be cautious every time he comes here.
Soon, Fang Yunshan put down the pen in his hand and looked at Lin Ji.
"I already know what Shen Long told you. From now on, the case in Pingchuan County will rot in your stomach." Fang Yunshan said with a bit of seriousness in his tone.
Lin Ji was startled.
"Sir...do you know something?"
Fang Yunshan did not answer.
"Thank you for your hard work on this trip. It won't be too late for you to rest at home for a few days before coming back to the general office to take up your post. Anyway, the Commander-in-Chief's errands are already backlogged, so it won't be short of these days."
Fang Yunshan didn't want to tell, so Lin Ji wouldn't bother asking.
But this last sentence made him feel a little speechless.
It’s really just that you don’t have too much debt to weigh you down, right?
Fang Yunshan ignored Lin Ji's thoughts and continued: "The treasures in the royal treasury that His Majesty promised you before will be delayed for a few days."
Lin Ji almost forgot about this incident.
But to think that it could be mentioned by Emperor Pei personally, the weight of the royal treasury should not be small.
"Is there any trouble?" Lin Ji asked.
"Something happened on Panlong Mountain. It's a family matter of the Qin family." Fang Yunshan said.
Upon hearing this, Lin Ji shrank his neck and pretended not to hear.
Calling the Qin family directly, it is indeed you, Master Fang.
Fang Yunshan saw Lin Ji's expression was strange, and obviously knew what he was thinking.
He waved his hand and said: "That's all. You are a smart person, and I am too lazy to explain too much to you. Go down and have a good rest for a few days."
"I am resigning."
...
After leaving the Chief Office of Supervisor Tiansi, Lin Ji had no intention of wandering around the city and soon returned to his residence.
But when he was passing by Lu Mansion, he happened to see the housekeeper standing at the door of Lu Mansion.
The housekeeper also saw Lin Ji, but he quickly bowed and saluted.
Lin Ji bowed his hand in return, and then returned to his home.
As soon as the housekeeper Fang An saw Lin Ji coming back, he quickly saluted.
"master."
"Did anything happen while I was away?" Lin Ji asked as he walked towards the inner room.
"It's nothing else. It's just that the housekeeper of the Lu Mansion comes to the door every two days to ask if the master is here." Fang An said cautiously, "Master, the Duke Zhenguo's house is not easy to mess with..."
"Haha, do you think I provoked Duke Lu? Stop thinking about this." Lin Ji sneered.
"You're too talkative." Fang An hurriedly slapped his lips lightly.
Lin Ji didn't care either.
After returning to the capital, he finally remembered another troublesome matter.
Emperor Pei granted him a marriage and betrothed Lu Zhaoer to him.
After walking into the inner room and sending Fang An away, Lin Ji rubbed the bridge of his nose in distress.
It seems that he and Lu Zhaoer have known each other for a long time. Lin Ji himself would not believe it if he said that he had no feelings at all.
But he already had an engagement with Zhong Xiaoyan. Although the engagement was a bit childish, he had accepted it after all.
He wasn't unclear about Lu Zhaoer's feelings for him, but... this kind of thing couldn't be explained in a few words.
It would be fine if Zhong Xiaoyan and Lu Zhaoer were just girls from ordinary families. At worst, he could marry both of them. As Lin Ji, who had just come across time and had dreamed of one day living a prosperous and prosperous life, this should have been the case. is a good thing.
But on one side is the daughter of the Zhong family, a large family, and on the other is the princess of the Duke of Zhenguo's palace.
On the one hand, I have seen the marriage contract between my parents, and on the other hand, the current Holy Father has personally granted marriage, so it should not be a rebellion.
Both families are distinguished, who will be your concubine?
What a real dilemma!
Just when Lin Ji felt that he was in trouble, Fang An knocked on the door of the room again.
"Master, the housekeeper from the Lu Mansion is here again."
Lin Ji sighed and straightened his clothes a little.
"Tell him that I will visit Lu Mansion later."
