"ignore him!"
Liu Muzhi's face suddenly darkened: "I have made a decision on this matter. Without the captain and I nodding, no one is allowed to touch the silver cellar!"
Hearing this, the two men who returned to the official office to report the case secretly looked at each other, surprised and slightly tacitly pleased.
The young meritorious officer ignored the small movements of his two subordinates and turned to look at Qi Jingzhi: "It seems that they are indeed two different cases. Qi Du arrived early. Did he find anything else about the sudden death of Li Huang?" "
Qi Jingzhi's expression remained unchanged and he immediately shook his head with a solemn tone: "Before he died, Li Huang only said that he got lost on horseback and met Miss Yuan Mansion. His butler was present throughout the process. I believe this gentleman has already investigated it."
"When Li Huang died, the smell of snakes suddenly became strong in the house. I couldn't stay any longer, so I had to stay away. I didn't find anything else."
Li Huang's death was obviously related to the theft of Qinghong Gong's jade pillow. Jindao Wei followed him thousands of miles away, and the hardships involved were indescribable. Of course, Qi Jingzhi would not dismantle him.
Liu Muzhi didn't expect Qi Jingzhi, who had almost no experience at all. After hearing this, he was no doubt that he was there. He immediately nodded lightly and walked to the east duty room: "In this case, the case of the strange odor of Liyuan Caves is considered a case. When it’s over, Qidu will follow me in first to sign the deposit.”
Speaking of which, Li Jiakongyuan's case was a vote of trust to deepen the trust between the two parties. There was no bounty, so it was an unexpected surprise for Qi Jingzhi to get a badge as a police officer.
Naturally, he had no objection and signed his name at the end of the half-empty file without hesitation, and then said goodbye to Liu Muzhi.
The young meritorious officer's mind was completely focused on the sudden death of Li Huang, and he had no time to exchange greetings. He also had no time to send Qi Jingzhi out in person like yesterday. He only said that he would send a letter of his whereabouts to Songling County after he was reassigned in the future. Yamen.
Qi Jingzhi walked out of the official gate alone and looked back at the still empty courtyard and the towering Linde Pavilion behind the courtyard. He felt that his worries were over and he felt much relieved.
In fact, he could have teamed up with Xiao Wazi and Lao Wei to take the gold and silver in the silver cellar as his own, and at worst, he could have transported a considerable amount of it without anyone noticing. What does it have to do with him how much the Li family can keep next?
Just thinking of Wan'er, Qi Jingzhi couldn't think of reaching out, and he didn't even want the gold and silver to fall into the hands of corrupt officials.
Call him naive or pretentious, in short, Qi Jingzhi did it as soon as he thought of it. Otherwise, if he can't understand even this idea, being free and easy will be nothing more than an empty talk to deceive himself and others.
He didn't delay any longer and quickly left the city from the west gate. From a distance he saw the figures of an old man and a young man beside the official road.
At this moment, Jindao Wei and Jiao Yulang were facing away from the city gate, whispering something and pointing with their arms outstretched.
At the moment, Qi Jingzhi looked in the direction of the two men's fingers and saw a wide official road extending straight to the west in the wilderness, with no end in sight.
As far as the eye can see, you can see rolling green mountains stretching from north to south, connecting the sky and the earth.
The earth is thick and wide, and the mountains are silent, but there is an unruly wild nature hidden deep inside, which has given rise to countless evil gods, evil spirits, water monsters and mountain spirits.
As he watched, the young man suddenly felt a surge of pride in his heart.
"The rivers and mountains are as majestic as this. The nine generations of ancestors led countless heroes to pioneer the land for more than two thousand years, but they still have not completed the work. I, Qi Jingzhi, met in this life and ran headlong into the rivers and lakes. I have always hated the demons for wreaking havoc and killing innocent people. I should kill them with the sword in my hand. Break the demonic atmosphere, tame the mountains and rivers, and don’t let the sages and sages dominate the past!”
So, when Jin Dao Wei and Jiao Yulang saw Qi Jingzhi again, they were stunned for a moment, and they both felt that there was some inexplicable change in the young man in front of them.
This feeling seems to have no reason, but it is true.
A look of suspicion appeared on Jiao Yulang's face, and then he was shocked by a certain guess in his heart: "Brother, is your heart broken?"
The little kid knows it very well. Brother Qi once personally admitted that he had only practiced for less than a month!
Qi Jingzhi smiled and shook his head: "How can it be so easy? This time I went to the Zhenmo Du Lieutenant's Office. Liu Gongcao was in a good mood, and he gave me a few pointers. I have been thinking about it since I came out of the office, until I just saw The mountain scenery in the distance made my mind widen, and I suddenly gained something."
The young man paused, and continued before Jiao Yulang could breathe a sigh of relief: "But it seems to be coming soon, and there is something about it that is ready to come out."
Jiao Yulang paused for a moment, then tried his luck before speaking: "So that's the reason! I know that the meritorious officer Liu Muzhi mentioned by my brother was once a famous young talent in the family, although he seems to have been a little depressed in recent years. , is gradually not mentioned much, but it is more than enough to point out the cultivation of Zhuangming Realm."
"There is also the Liu family of Yuzhou where he was born. Although he is not a descendant of the Saint Jiang Miao, it is said that he has a great background and has a deep background. However, the Liu family is not in charge of the army and has an unpopular arrogance. On weekdays, It has nothing to do with my family, so I don’t know what’s going on.”
"Yuzhou Liu family?"
Listening to Xiaowazi's words, Chaozhou Jiao family and Yuzhou Liu family seemed to dislike each other.
It's not surprising if you think about it carefully. After all, there are obvious differences between the two families in terms of their attitudes towards the Aqua Tribe.
The Liu family in Yuzhou believed that the river dragons were domineering and unruly, an extension of the wild nature of the mountains and rivers of the earth, but the aunt of the Jiao family in Chaozhou was the adoptive mother of Jiang Jun's legitimate son. It was strange that the two families liked each other.
Qi Jingzhi silently wrote down this, and secretly compared Liu Muzhi and Jiao Yulang, two sons of aristocratic families.
The young meritorious officer had rules for walking, sitting and lying. When he and Qi Jingzhi were not familiar with each other, he never showed his teeth with a smile. He appeared to be very well-educated. However, whether he was dealing with the case of the Demon Suppressing Academy or talking about local civil affairs, he would always behave intentionally or unintentionally. Showing condescension and arrogance.
It's no wonder that the word "shepherd" in his name may have meant shepherding the people on behalf of the king, so naturally he wouldn't be too down-to-earth.
In comparison, Xiao Wazi is obviously much more casual, and has more compassion for the common people and charlatans, and therefore seems a bit extreme.
In Qi Jingzhi's opinion, perhaps it was because, as a family of military lords, the children of the Jiao family in Chaozhou hung out with rough guys in the army more, and their posture was lower and they were not so particular.
Such a casual and rough man doesn't care much about the plans of the country's leader or the rise and fall of the divine line, so he gets closer to Jiang Jun's legitimate son. It seems... makes sense?
As for the inner story, it is not something Qi Jingzhi can delve into.
Although he and Jiao Yulang had become much closer after coming out of the silver cellar, he was still not qualified to make any comments on such a major matter related to the rise and fall of the family.
Jin Dao Wei on the side was filled with envy when he heard this, and said with hope: "I, Old Wei, have been groping for most of my life, but I still haven't touched the door of my heart. Brother Qi, can you tell me, this What the hell is this? Can a bone really grow out of the human heart?"
Qi Jingzhi looked at Jin Dao Wei and saw that although he sounded humorous, his face was full of desire and sincerity.
The young man couldn't help but think of Jiao Yulang's description of the difficult cultivation of the charlatan sorcerer, and felt a little unbearable in his heart.
He thought for a moment and then replied: "Actually, I can't describe it well. I can't say it accurately. I feel like a seed buried in the ground. It has begun to take root and sprout. I am working hard. Plunging deep into the earth, struggling to emerge from the earth.”
Jin Dao Wei understood the image the young man said as soon as he heard it, and couldn't help but show a bit of disappointment on his face: "Hey! I have already read through the "Gong Geng Pu" in the Demon-Suppressing Academy, and I also know the principles well. , but after so many years, it will be impossible if it is not accomplished!”
Qi Jingzhi was not surprised when he heard this. Jin Dao Wei was a great warlock who was famous in several states. He must have practiced all the techniques he could get from the Demon Suppressing Academy.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little moved, and immediately asked directly: "Old Wei, there is another method in the Demon Suppressing Academy, 'The heart is like a flat lake, and those who wish to take the bait' have you ever seen it?"
