Chapter 682
Early the next morning, when Ning Zhiqi and Yi Xiaoqian went out, they saw Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan already waiting in the lobby.

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

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

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "It's not too late at all, we got up early, after all, it's not the way to treat guests to wait, and, in fact, we just woke up."

In the morning, Lu Zheng was still sleeping with his arms around Liu Qingyan's warm and soft body, but Liu Qingyan shook him up, saying that he wanted to get up early, so as not to keep Ning Zhiqi and the others waiting for a long time.

"Have breakfast first, and I'll take you to the county government later." Lu Zheng said, "I have a good relationship with the county magistrate, county lieutenant, and master book, and it can save you some trouble."

That day and night when he entered the ghost village, Ning Zhiqi went in together without hesitation, and then fended off the ghosts alone without changing his face. It can be said that he has extraordinary courage and extraordinary character. Lu Zheng didn't mind helping him.

Lu Zheng is a disciple of the outer sect of Baiyun Temple, and he helped the Tonglin county government solve several troubles, and he also sent scorpion wine to the county officials several times before, which helped the county government officials regain their 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 has cultivation, she can at most protect Ning Zhiqi from other kinds of harm. The twists and turns in the official circle are all about the dog, but it can't help at all.

Ning Zhiqi is not a fool either, of course he knows the difficulty of taking the job alone. Although his master deliberately sent him to be under the rule of his fellow teacher Du Yuru, it is impossible for him to ask others for everything, and he still has to rely on himself for everything.

If there is a famous acquaintance in the county or an acquaintance who is close to the officials of the county government to help, then things will be much easier.

but……

"Is it convenient?" Ning Zhiqi asked worriedly, he was worried that Lu Zheng would get favors because of this matter, or be squeezed out by the old man of the county government.

Lu Zheng laughed out loud.

Except that I was weak at the beginning, and I was a black householder, so after carefully giving gifts to the county government twice, in the next few years, the officials of the county government came to see me, even if I was not there, I would come once to send gifts to the county government. presents.

And the return gifts from my side are modern drinks and health pills refined by Liu Qingyan.

Where can I find this kind of unassuming, face-saving, and generous stranger?
So, in the hearts of officials at all levels of the county government, I and Renxintang actually exist aloofly, so what's the point of introducing a friend from the county magistrate now?
What's more, Ning Zhiqi is young, and he is a student of the Ministry of Rites. He obviously has a bright future. Even if they have no desires and demands, they will not lose face.

Unless... huh... so what?
With him coming forward, even if they really had any quarrels, they must have a bit of guilt and fear.

……

After breakfast, Liu Qingyan met Du Yueyao at the door and went to Renxin Hall together. Of course, Yi Xiaoqian couldn't go with Ning Zhiqi to hand over her post, so she also followed Liu Qingyan, saying that she was going to help her.

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

"I've met Mr. Lu, I've met Ningxian Cheng!"

Early in the morning, Liu Butou and Master Li waited outside the county government gate. Seeing Lu Zheng coming with him, they immediately greeted them with excitement and enthusiasm.

"Master Zhixian, Lord County Captain, and Lord Wang are all waiting in the back hall, please hurry up!"

"Brother Ning, please." Lu Zheng smiled.

"Thank you, Brother Lu!" Ning Zhiqi bowed his hands and politely returned the salute.

When the two entered the backyard of the county government office, they saw three people sitting and chatting in the back hall. Two of them were wearing official uniforms, and the other older man was wearing ordinary uniforms. He was the outgoing county magistrate Wang.

Lu Zheng greeted the three of them, standing up for Ning Zhiqi, then Wang Xiancheng took Ning Zhiqi to hand over the work, and Lu Zheng stayed to chat with the county magistrate and county lieutenant.

Originally planned to chat for a few words and leave, unexpectedly Liu Butou came in to report in a hurry before his butt was hot.

"My lord, the two murders in Xiahe Town yesterday involved foreign objects."

"Huh?" The county magistrate and county lieutenant both looked shocked, subconsciously looking at Lu Zheng.

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

Liu Butou hurriedly said, "Three days ago, a townsman in Xiahe Town drowned in the Yingshui River. The town thought it was an accident, but it turned out that another person died the night before, so they reported 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 there is a possibility of slipping after drinking, so I sent two police officers to investigate.

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

At this point, Liu Tutou took out a Talisman of Observation, and a corner of the talisman paper had been burned, and it was about to affect the core rune.

Lu Zheng couldn't help wondering, "Is it so arrogant to kill three people in a row?"

Liu Butou nodded again and again.

"Since it's such a coincidence, why don't you ask Catcher Liu to lead the way and take me to have a look?" Lu Zheng smiled.

Since they are here, and they are here to give Ning Zhiqi a platform, there is no need for them to report this matter to the Zhenyi Division, not to mention that there is a light of luck to take, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, isn't it?

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

Then Li Xianwei asked Liu Butou to nod a team of policemen, all of whom were extravagantly equipped with horses, and then rushed to Xiahe Town without stopping.

……

Xiahe Town, by the Yingshui River.

This is just an ordinary river, the widest part is only six or seven feet, and the depth is only more than three feet. Although many people have been drowned, there has never been a murder by a foreign object.

So the townspeople thought it was a night bandit who killed people, and the county government didn't think about foreign objects.

"Master Lu, look..."

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

No matter how cultivated Lu Zheng is now, he could feel a faint residual evil spirit as soon as he came, and he knew that he was a weak chicken who had just become fine.

I don't know if it's because of hatred or something wrong with my brain. I didn't leave after killing three people in a row, because I was afraid that the aliens among human beings would not find me.

"what?"

Li Xianwei and Liu Butou looked confused.

Lu Zheng smiled slightly. Now his "Secrets of the True Spirit of Xuangui Yushui" has been completed. Using water as the medium, he quickly sensed that there is a monster under the river not far away. Rest at the end.

Then, it felt that the water around it was suddenly uncontrollable, sticking to its body, and then a force strong enough to crush it quickly poured into its body, imprisoning it.

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

next moment……

Everyone on the shore saw a large rice field eel about Zhang Xu's length suddenly burst out of the water and hit the shore with a "plop".

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

 Thank you fellow daoists 08a and fellow daoist little tigers from the devil world for their rewards
