Early the next morning, Ning Zhiqi and Yi Xiaoqian went out and saw Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan waiting in the lobby.

Seeing Lu Zheng refreshed and Liu Qingyan's beautiful face glowing, Yi Xiaoqian couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled, pulling Ning Zhiqi to sit aside.

"I was tired yesterday and fell asleep this morning. Please forgive me, Brother Lu." Ning Zhiqi apologized.

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "It's not late at all. We got up early. After all, it's not the way to treat guests by asking them to sit and wait. Moreover, we have just gotten up."

In the morning, Lu Zheng was still sleeping with Liu Qingyan's warm and soft body in his arms, when Liu Qingyan shook him up and said that he wanted to get up early so as not to keep Ning Zhiqi and Ning Zhiqi waiting.

"Have breakfast first, and I will take you to the county government office later." Lu Zheng said, "I have a good relationship with the county magistrate, county captain, and chief registrar, and I can also help you save money." It's a little troublesome."

When they broke into the ghost village that night, Ning Zhiqi went in without hesitation, and then blocked the group of ghosts alone without changing his expression. It can be said that he has extraordinary courage and extraordinary character. Lu Zheng I don't mind helping him out.

Lu Zheng was an outer disciple of Baiyun Temple. He helped Tonglin County government solve several problems. He had also sent scorpion wine to county officials several times before, so that the county government officials could Regain your glory.

A foreigner with a high level of cultivation is still so humble and polite. It can be said that Lu Zheng has quite a lot of face in the county government.

Yi Xiaoqian's face was filled with joy. Although she had some cultivation skills, she could only protect Ning Zhiqi from being harmed by others. The twists and turns in the officialdom did not help at all. busy.

Ning Zhiqi is not a fool. Of course he knows the difficulty of taking up the post alone. Although his master specially sent him to the rule of his fellow disciple Du Yuru, he cannot ask for help for everything. You still have to rely on yourself.

If there is help from a well-known person in the county or an acquaintance who is familiar with the county government officials, then the matter will be much simpler.

But...

"Is it convenient?" Ning Zhiqi asked with some worry. He was worried that Lu Zheng would get into a favor because of this matter, or be raped by the old man from the county government. Exclude.

Lu Zheng laughed.

In addition to being weak at the beginning and being a gangster, I cautiously gave gifts to the county government twice. In the following years, county government officials came to pay homage to me. Even if I Even if I'm not here, I'll come and give you a gift.

The return gift from his side was modern wine and health pills made by Liu Qingyan.

Where can I find such a stranger who has no airs, gives face, and is generous with his hands?

So, oneself and benevolenceXintang, in the hearts of officials at all levels of the county government, is actually a transcendent existence. Now what does it mean to introduce a friend to the county magistrate?

What's more, Ning Zhiqi is young and is a disciple of the Minister of Rites. He obviously has a bright future. Even if they have no desires, no demands and no flattery, they will not deny him face.

Unless...hehe...so what?

With him coming forward, even if they really have any disagreements, they must be a little guilty and afraid.

　…

After breakfast, Liu Qingyan met Du Yueyao at the door and went to Renxintang together. Of course, Yi Xiaoqian could not go to the handover with Ning Zhiqi. After taking office, he followed Liu Qingyan, saying that he was going to help out.

Lu Zheng took Ning Zhiqi and took a walk all the way to the county government office.

“I’ve met Mr. Lu, I’ve met the Prime Minister of Ning County!”

Early in the morning, Capt. Liu and Chief Li were waiting outside the county government office. When they saw Lu Zheng came with him and immediately greeted him with excitement and enthusiasm.

"The county magistrate, the county captain and Mr. Wang are all waiting in the back hall. Please hurry up and invite me!"

"Brother Ning invites you first." Lu Zheng said with a smile. .

"Thank you, Brother Lu!" Ning Zhiqi raised his hand and politely returned the greeting.

When the two entered the backyard of the county government office, they saw three people sitting and chatting in the back hall. Two were wearing official uniforms, and the other older man was wearing regular clothes. Wang Xiancheng left office.

Lu Zheng greeted the three of them and stood up for Ning Zhiqi. Then Wang Xiancheng took Ning Zhiqi to hand over the work, and Lu Zheng stayed and talked with the county magistrate and county captain. Have a chat.

I originally planned to chat for a few words and then leave. Unexpectedly, before my buttocks were still hot, Capt. Liu hurried in to report.

"Sir, the two murder cases in Xiahe Town yesterday involved foreign objects."

"Huh?" Both the magistrate and the county lieutenant looked shocked, and subconsciously looked at Lu levy.

"What's going on?" Lu Zheng asked.

Mr. Liu said hurriedly, "Three days ago, a citizen of Xiahe Town drowned in the Yingshui River. The town thought it was an accident, but they didn't expect that another person died the night before. That's why Report it to the county.

In fact, it is very possible that this incident was an accident. After all, the deceased drank alcohol at night and may have stumbled while drunk, so I sent two detectives to investigate. .

They just came back and said that another person died last night, and they found the smell of a foreign object at the crime scene."

Speaking of this, Capt. Liu took out the A Guanyi Talisman appeared, and the talisman paper has beenA corner has been burned, and the core runes are about to be affected.

Lu Zheng couldn't help but wonder, "Killing three people in a row, is he so arrogant?"

Mr. Liu nodded repeatedly.

"Since it's such a coincidence, how about asking Mr. Liu to lead the way and take me to see it?" Lu Zheng said with a smile.

Since they are here and have come to support Ning Zhiqi, there is no need for them to report this matter to the Yishen Department. What’s more, there is also the light of luck to take. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still a piece of meat. no?

With Lu Zheng present, Lieutenant Li also stood up and said, "I'll go too."

Then Lieutenant Li asked Captain Liu to nod a group of agents , all equipped with extravagant horses, and then rushed to Xiahe Town non-stop.

　……

Xiahe Town, by the Yingshui River.

This is just an ordinary river, only six or seven feet wide at its widest point, and only more than three feet deep. Although many people have drowned, there has never been any killing by foreign objects.

So the townspeople thought it was a night bandit who killed someone, and the county government didn’t think anything of it.

"Master Lu, look..."

"There's nothing to see, it's just a monster that has just become a spirit."

Lu With how much cultivation Zheng has now, he could feel the faint trace of demonic energy as soon as he arrived, and as soon as he sensed it, he knew he was a weakling who had just become a spirit.

I don’t know if he has a grudge or a brain problem. He killed three people and refused to leave. This was because he was afraid that the alien among humans would not be able to find him.

“Huh?”

County Lieutenant Li and Capt. Liu looked confused.

Lu Zheng smiled slightly. Now he had completed the "Secrets of the True Spirit of Black Turtles to Control Water". Using water as a medium, he quickly sensed that there was a monster under the river not far away. He used the river water to cover up the evil spirit and was resting at the bottom of the river.

Then, it felt that the water flow around it suddenly became uncontrollable and clung to its body, and then a force strong enough to crush it quickly poured into its body and imprisoned it.

Then, it was rolled out of the cave, all the way up.

The next moment...

Everyone on the shore saw a big eel about ten feet long, suddenly broke out of the water and hit the shore with a "pop".

"It's done." Lu Zheng said calmly.
