Near noon, Lin Ji and Lu Zhaoer entered the county town.
After getting off the horse, Lin Ji was stopped before he could even take two steps.
"Captain Lin, I heard that you were promoted to Liangcheng?" A neighbor blocked the way.
"Yes." Lin Ji responded with a smile.
"Then you owe my shop money for food..."
Lin Ji was stunned for a moment, looked carefully at the man blocking the road, and then slapped his forehead.
He is the owner of a wonton stall in the county.
"How much do I owe you?"
"There are more than three taels."
Lin Ji took out a few taels of silver and handed it over. After the wonton owner took it with a smile, he also asked Lin Ji to come again.
After giving the money, Lin Jizai looked at Lu Zhaoer standing aside with some embarrassment.
He thought Lu Zhaoer would get angry, after all, the girl looked pretty cool.
As a result, Lu Zhaoer did not do this, but asked: "You seem to have a good relationship with the people of Qingyang County? How dare the wonton boss block your way and ask for money?"
"They are common people, and I am also a commoner, so why bother putting on airs?" Lin Ji said with a smile, "I don't have to go around to handle cases. It's good to get acquainted with the neighbors."
The two continued walking in the county, and people greeted Lin Ji from time to time on the road.
Lu Zhaoer asked again: "You have no dignity, what should you do if something happens?"
"If you don't obey, break your legs. It's as simple as that." Lin Ji said calmly, "You can go and ask around. Who doesn't know whether Captain Lin likes soft things or not?"
While talking, I passed by Ruyi Building.
Song Da happened to be sitting on the first floor. After seeing Lin Ji, he smiled and cupped his hands, then limped to a corner.
Lu Zhaoer looked at Lin Ji.
"That's the guy whose leg I broke. He's the gangster leader in the city. He's in charge of all the three religions."
"The gangster leader? Then why don't you arrest him?"
"You catch them again and again, and you can't manage them. It's better to keep someone sensible and obedient, and you can make those gangsters more honest."
"That makes sense." Lu Zhaoer nodded.
While talking, we arrived at the food market entrance.
Lin Ji saw Song Er grabbing a hawker and passing by with a group of policemen.
"Song Er!"
Song Er turned his head and subconsciously let go of his hand after seeing Lin Ji.
The caught hawker immediately wanted to run away, but after seeing Lin Ji, he shrank back and stayed where he was.
Lin Ji took a closer look and realized that this boy was the one selling vegetables at the market entrance.
"Captain Lin, why are you back?" Song Er greeted with a smile.
"What did he do?" Lin Ji raised his chin at the vendor.
"This kid is pouring manure into other people's yards." Song Er felt helpless.
"What's going on?" Lin Ji looked at the vendor.
The vendor still looked aggrieved.
"Captain Lin, aren't I just a little short on my weight when selling vegetables? That's because there's something wrong with my scale, it's not intentional."
"Tell me the important point!" Lin Ji kicked the vendor.
The hawker was in pain and did not dare to be cunning, so he quickly said: "That bastard who fought with me last time, people come to my place to buy food on purpose every three days, and if they are found to be missing a pound or two, they will be beaten severely. I am so angry.
, just go to his house..."
Lin Ji held his forehead and waved his hand to ask Song Er to take him away quickly.
After Song Er left, Lin Jicai said helplessly to Lu Zhaoer: "There are so many bad things in the county like this."
Lu Zhaoer nodded slightly, with a bit of a smile in his eyes.
The two of them came to the county government office together.
Song Er, who came back early, had obviously already said hello.
The county magistrate Li Cheng was actually waiting in front of the hall.
"Your Majesty, Li Cheng, I have met Mr. Lin." Li Cheng bowed respectfully.
Seeing this scene, Lin Ji was immediately speechless.
The general captures the sixth rank, an official in Liangcheng.
The seventh rank of county magistrate is the official of the county seat.
But we are all old acquaintances, and we didn't deal with each other before.
This county magistrate really wants to be promoted like crazy.
"Get up, I'm only a sixth-rank official, and this person next to me is a fifth-rank official. You're worshiping the wrong one." Lin Ji waved his hand.
Upon hearing this, Li Cheng looked up at Lu Zhaoer and wanted to bow again.
Lin Ji supported him.
"Go and get all the files from the county. Lu Youxing wants to review them."
"As ordered, I will leave immediately." Li Cheng trotted away.
Lin Ji smiled bitterly.
At this moment, Guo Yi brought Lu Cong to the county government office.
"Lin Baotou." Guo Yi cupped his hands and nodded to Lu Zhaoer beside him.
Lu Cong smiled and said: "Boss, my life will not be easy if you leave."
Guo Yi didn't need to explain, Lin Ji raised his leg and kicked him again.
"You don't have anywhere to eat and drink, do you?"
"Hey." Lu Cong scratched his head.
After greeting his acquaintances, Lin Ji thought for a while and said to Lu Cong: "Go buy groceries."
"The boss is going to open fire? I'll go right away!" Lu Cong's eyes were shining.
"Don't worry, Ruyilou wants to cut up two kilograms of soy beef and soy donkey meat. You can go and make a trip too."
"Go to Lao Li's house to buy some sesame seeds and come back."
"Lao Li doesn't open at noon."
"What do you mean? Go to his house and drag him up for me. Tell him that I'm back and ask him to bake a new oven for me... No, bake a few more ovens and I'll take them with me when I leave." Lin Ji said
After finishing, he handed Lu Cong a piece of silver.
"Sure, I'll go right away." Lu Cong grinned and trotted away.
Lin Ji looked at Guo Yi again.
"Lao Guo, call your sister-in-law up at noon and have dinner at my house."
"No problem." Guo Yi smiled and nodded.
Then, Lin Jicai looked at Lu Zhaoer.
"Lu Youxing appreciates your favor. I will serve you at noon today. You can also try my cooking skills."
"Guests and hosts do as they please. In Qingyang County, I will naturally listen to you." Lu Zhaoer readily agreed.
What she saw after arriving in Qingyang County was quite novel.
She has been to too many places, but she has never seen a headhunter like Lin Ji. Ordinary people are not afraid of him, but those high-ranking officials and gangsters seem to keep a distance.
"Let's go sit at my house first. We're already here. We won't be able to finish the file in a while, so why not take a rest first."
Lu Zhaoer is capable of everything.
The two walked side by side and soon arrived at the small house of Lin Ji's family.
The courtyard door was closed tightly. Lin Ji stepped forward and pushed it open.
He moved a chair in the yard and asked Lu Zhaoer to sit down.
When Lin Ji was about to go to the kitchen to light a fire, a head suddenly popped out of the wall next door.
"Okay, I thought there was a thief next door, but it turns out it's you who's back!" Zhong Xiaoyan opened her big black eyes and looked left and right.
Just as Lin Jigang was about to answer, Zhong Xiaoyan's voice sounded again.
"That's good enough. I brought back a sweetheart just a few days after I went to Liangcheng. Sure enough, men don't have any good things."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Did I provoke you?"
"You left, why didn't you let me be the head catcher?" Zhong Xiaoyan asked angrily.
Lin Ji raised his head and remembered the documents from Qingyang County that he had received in Liangcheng.
Zhong Xiaoyan once asked about this matter, and he replied with the word "fuck off".
"Have you received my reply?" Lin Ji asked.
"What do you think!" Zhong Xiaoyan became even more angry.
If she hadn't known that Lin Ji was in the fourth level and she couldn't beat him, she would have climbed over the wall by now.
"It's the same now, go away and come back to eat later when the food is ready."
"Huh, that's not surprising!" After saying that, Zhong Xiaoyan turned and left.
