what to prepare?
Lin Ji naturally knew what Lu Guangmu was referring to, but he didn't want to respond.
At least, not yet.
"Ready." Lin Ji took out two egg-yolk-sized balls from his arms and said respectfully, "Grandpa, these are the demon pills I took yesterday, and they can be used as betrothal gifts."
Lu Guangmu naturally knew very well how precious these two demon pills were!
But he didn't even look at her. He stared at Lin Ji seriously as if he were seeing her for the first time.
He understood that Lin Ji understood everything, but what he didn't understand was why Lin Ji pretended not to understand!
"You are interested." After a long silence, Lu Guangmu spoke slowly.
Lin Ji put down the demon pill, saluted, and went out.
He wanted to see Zhao'er, but was stopped by the old slave of the Lu family, who said that the two of them could not see each other again until the hijab was lifted.
Lin Ji had no choice but to give up.
After leaving Lu Mansion, I strolled along the street and randomly found a stall that cooked rice and sat down there.
Weicheng is close to the sea, and the most distinctive snack is this original seafood spread in the streets and alleys.
Half a pot of fresh food and one pot of water, without any seasoning, served with the unique local green potato Laobaiganer.
How did you say that?
Oh yes!
The most high-end ingredients often use the simplest cooking methods!
A mouthful of crab, a mouthful of wine.
Lin Ji was enjoying his meal when he heard the group of drunken diners around him talking about the story of "Lin Tianguan vs. Three Demons."
You said something to me, and everyone seemed to be immersed in the scene.
In fact, most of them are just what Wuji said yesterday.
However, Lin Ji had long noticed a strong man in shabby clothes sitting in a corner far away from the crowd, seeming to be secretly looking at him intentionally or unintentionally.
Moreover, that person's cultivation level is not low, he is already at the peak of the Five Realms.
Lin Jiquan acted as if he didn't know, and still drank slowly and ate the whole plate of shrimps and crabs, drank a pot of old wine, then got up and walked back slowly.
Sure enough, the man also got up to pay and followed him all the way.
When passing by a remote alley, Lin Ji hurriedly ran in and hid while pretending to urinate.
Following the sound of hurried footsteps, the man also walked in.
"If you dare to move, I will kill you!" Lin Ji stepped out and said coldly.
"No, I don't dare!" The man's face changed drastically, and he said urgently, "Mr. Lin, don't get me wrong! I am also an old man from the Supervisor Tiansi. I just saw that you don't like to be public, so I didn't dare to step forward and disturb you."
After hearing what he said, Lin Ji looked at it carefully and found that he looked familiar.
"Oh? Then who are you? Where have you seen me?"
"Little... little was once the deputy chief of police in Weicheng, He Kui. Five or six years ago, the chief catcher was wounded. It was little that went to Beijing for him. I was lucky enough to meet you. At that time, sir... you were still young. Yang County.”
In order to make Lin Ji more convinced, the man continued: "Sir, do you still remember that the arrester in Jingyang County was scolded by Master Zheng because he had too few files?"
After this mention, Lin Jimeng suddenly thought of it.
This was indeed the case when he went to the Supervisory Office to report on his duties for the first time!
And among the few arresters present, there was indeed this person.
But we didn’t talk to each other at the time, and we never saw each other again.
Qingyang County, Liangcheng...
I didn't expect that so much time had passed in the blink of an eye.
Now the Qin Dynasty is dead!
Lin Ji's tone softened a bit and he said, "Then why are you following me?"
"Qin has died, and the Supervisor of Heaven has also dispersed. I am filled with depression. Fortunately, I meet an adult who has the courage to speak out. There is no malice!"
He Kui's nervous head was sweating, and his heart was beating wildly.
Compared with the hearsay from the outside world, he knows better than anyone what Mr. Lin Tianguan in front of him is doing!
Don't say that he is only in the fifth realm.
So what if you become a strong person?
Don't just kill me!
Lin Ji believed He Kui's words for the time being, glanced up and down and said, "Although Supervisor Tiansi is not as good as before after it was disbanded, you have served in Weicheng for many years, how did you end up in such a state of decline?!
As soon as the man saw that the pressure brought by Lin Ji on him was gone, his heart dropped to the ground. When he was asked about his pain again, he immediately said bitterly: "My lord, you don't know something. When the Qin Dynasty was here, all the major sects in Jiuzhou... They rarely care about ghosts and ghosts among the people, and they all don’t even bother to sweep the snow in front of their doors, hoping that the Supervisor will cause some trouble, but Weicheng is different!"
"Although the four great families also had secret disagreements, once there were any ghosts and evil things, they tried their best to eradicate them and never slacked off. Especially when Emperor Pei ascended the throne, demons were everywhere and the world was in chaos. The Supervisor of Heaven in other places was very busy every day. But Weicheng has nothing to do every day and has become a Qingshui Yamen."
"Sir, let's just say that when we first met that year, no matter how many other cities and counties there were, there were always files, but Weicheng... didn't even break a single file! However, the higher-ups may also know that, but they haven't. Get punished.”
"But as the saying goes, there is no reward for no merit. I haven't moved here since I was assigned to Weicheng. The people in the city don't take Jian Tiansi seriously at all, and they don't come to us when they encounter trouble. . Not to mention the slightest benefit, every New Year, I have to allocate my salary to give gifts to the four major families. I don’t know if the family head will say it! My colleagues are envious of me for getting a light job, but who knows What’s wrong with me?”
"But who would have thought that the damn Great Qin Dynasty would die immediately. The Supervisor Tiansi would be disbanded on the spot, and there would be no salary! No matter how big or small, after all, I have been the deputy chief of the police, and I can be considered a public figure with an official position. Son, you can’t go fishing in the sea or set up a stall to sell sea food, right? But my whole family depends on me to support me, and I...hey! There is really no way out. Mr. Lin, I heard that you and the Lu family... ...Well, we have a lot of friendship with each other. For the sake of being an errand with the government, can you help me find something to do?"
After hearing what He Kui said, Lin Ji had no sympathy for him!
For every gain there must be a loss!
What he lamented was not that he had nothing to do, but that he did not reap the benefits and show off his prestige like other places.
But why doesn't he envy those who have lost their lives and heads in order to slay demons?
Moreover, judging from the fact that he was sitting in a lonely corner with no one paying attention to him, his relationship with the people in this city is not much better!
Even though he lost his position, after all, he has lived in Weicheng for so many years, so he still has some old friends. This popularity is too bad!
It can be seen that he usually looks up at the four major aristocratic families and feels uncomfortable, and his anger is probably spread to the poor people.
Now, I still can't save my face and ask for a way out. I know I have a family to support, but I only drink alcohol on the street!
You have wasted all your cultivation, and you are living a useless life!
Lin Ji was really too lazy to talk to this kind of person. He was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly stopped: "You said that you have been the deputy chief of police in Weicheng for so many years?"
"Really?" The man didn't know why, his eyes were gleaming. He thought that Lin Ji thought that he was a good person and that he had lost his talent after serving as a deputy for so many years. He hurriedly replied: "It's been fifteen years! I have always been a deputy arrestor." Although he is the deputy chief of Xuzhou, his work and salary are still the same as those of a deputy chief."
"What about the head hunter?" Linjic asked.
