Being shrouded in Sloutou Tuo's gaze, Chen Ji's mouth became dry for a moment.
After all, he is a young man with fresh blood. He joined the yamen just to make a living, and his mind is still longing for the world.
Now that I have met the famous senior in the world, even the palm holding the handle of the knife is trembling with excitement.
While excited, I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
He is also a yamen officer, but even such a senior has to politely call Shen Yi my little friend. The so-called fame in the world is really achieved through fists.
Chen Ji shook his head, remembering the scene where Shen Yi was covered in blood, sitting lazily in the countryside with the bones in front of him before they were cold, and felt that everything was as it should be.
"Senior is so complimentary."
Shen Yi cupped her hands in response and continued walking forward, not wanting to continue complimenting each other.
However, Shou Toutuo led someone to stop him: "This is my junior brother from the Vajra Sect. He is nicknamed Zhang Butcher. He came from Qingzhou to look for me. He is also planning to find a job under the county magistrate."
Shen Yi nodded, and Butcher Zhang nodded in response.
"I have official business, so I won't bother you two anymore."
After finishing the polite greetings, Shen Yi took another step forward, while Slender Toutuo moved slightly but still stood in front of him.
"..."
Shen Yi looked over calmly.
As the saying goes, everyone has his own ambitions, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Shou Toutuo using money to do things. If he hadn't already put on these clothes in time and cut off the path of the Jianghu sect, he would also like to join the sect like him, learn some martial arts, and join the sect. The wealthy gentry's family is supported by others.
But if the other party received the money and did something specifically to cause trouble for you, then that’s a different story.
"You and I are both Shen Xin martial arts masters, why don't you find a place to have a drink."
Shouto Tuo chuckled and put his hand on Shen Yi's shoulder: "I am much older than you, and I have the audacity to call myself an elder. You are still young and have too much momentum. There is no harm in chatting more with an old man like me."
Even Chen Ji, who was standing behind, felt the subtlety in the atmosphere.
Mr. Lin and the steward were silent, their eyes dim.
None of them really believed in Shen Yi's ability.
But in comparison, they did not believe in Shou Toutuo's judgment, but how could a businessman dare to question it in front of such experts.
It would be a good thing if the people from the yamen could take charge again. I didn't expect that the other party would even stop this. How could Shen Yi, a small servant, dare to make a mistake in front of the county magistrate's celebrity?
In full view of the public.
Shen Yi was silent for a moment, then slowly took away the other person's palm on her shoulder and patted her shoulder twice: "Thank you for your kindness, senior. I just have business to do today, so I'm sorry."
His actions solidified the atmosphere instantly.
There was embarrassment in Shou Tuo Tuo's eyes, and a trace of anger on his old face.
Butcher Zhang turned his head, with a mocking smile on his lips hidden by his thick beard.
"If I remember correctly, Chief Shen has been promoted recently and is in charge of all monsters and troubles in Baiyun County. I said there are no monsters here, but it is an ordinary murder case. How can the Lin family have tolerance to handle it? Or do you think you can't trust me? "
There was a bit of coldness in Shou Toutuo's voice.
Shen Yi glanced at the steward and said calmly: "Lead the way."
"Ah...ok..."
How could he, a manager, dare to get involved in such a dispute? The only thing that shocked him was that a former bad gambler could now remain calm in front of Slender Tou Tuo.
The most outrageous thing is that Shou Toutuo seems to be helpless with him.
If I had known this, I might as well have gone directly to the Yamen prison or to the county magistrate's mansion... It would be useless.
The steward's mind wandered and he trotted towards the side courtyard.
Wait until the three people disappear from the end of the field of vision.
Mr. Lin clasped his fists repeatedly: "You two seniors have offended each other a lot. Mr. Shen is also concerned about official business. You two must not take it personally."
Thin Tou Tuo's face was gloomy, and he waved his sleeves and followed.
Zhang Tuhu followed closely behind and said casually: "Senior brother, are you familiar with him?"
"I've never met him. He's just a pity for his talent. I thought that from now on we would work under the county magistrate and take care of each other. I never thought that he was a brainless idiot."
"I see, I thought it was because senior brother was afraid that he would find out about us being frightened by demons and lose face in vain."
Hearing the connotation in the other party's words, Shou Tou Tuo turned around suddenly with a gloomy face. It took him a long time to calm down: "You just came from Qingzhou and thought this was a small place. I don't blame you for being arrogant. But remember, the water here is better than You have to think deeply."
After that, he continued to walk forward: "Do you think he can be any different? Why don't you just find an excuse like us later?"
Butcher Zhang closed his mouth noncommittally.
During the conversation between the two.
Shen Yi and the other two followed the steward to a side room, and watched as the other party slowly lifted the white cloth, revealing the body underneath.
With just one glance, Chen Ji's admiration for Sloutoutuo increased even more.
This is such an ability to tell lies with open eyes.
I saw a strong man's body lying on the bed. Only half of his left arm was left. A big hole was opened in his abdomen, and everything was taken out.
The two eye sockets on the face were empty, the nose was missing, and the entire right side of the face had been licked, leaving only bones and not even a shred of meat left.
"It was fine yesterday, just for one night."
The steward of the Lin family closed his eyes and rubbed his face vigorously, trying to dispel the coldness on his body.
He still remembered how majestic and majestic Liu Qi was when he first arrived at the Lin family, but now he looked like this.
"No one knows how he died?" Chen Ji frowned.
Even if a great master of martial arts encounters a demon, how can he die quietly?
"The person who found him is not from my Lin family."
The manager of the Lin family sighed, wanting to say something but not daring to say it, and looked back at Shen Yi: "When you sent Miss Bai Wei back, after she recovered from her injury, although her temperament did not change, her memory was missing a lot, and she could not remember many relatives. .”
At this point, the steward curled his lips and said: "Half a month ago, she said that a friend she met from outside was coming to visit her home. He was actually a young man. This matter should not have been mentioned. The young lady is still a young lady. You two have heard about it. , don’t tell anyone about it and ruin your reputation..."
Chen Ji nodded.
The steward continued: "The master feels sorry for the young lady, and also considered that having an acquaintance by his side might help the young lady recover her memory, so he kept this person here. The young lady is very close to him, and we will treat him as a distinguished guest."
"Liu Qi's body was found in his room... Miss happened to be away from home these days..."
"Senior Shou Toutuo had a chat with him and said it had nothing to do with him..."
Hearing this, Shen Yi finally understood what the other party meant.
The Lin family has long been suspicious. The reason why they went to look for Shou Toutuo was not to find the demon, but to destroy it.
"Where is he?" Chen Ji asked subconsciously.
"I'm here."
Lazy words came from outside the door.
A young man in a black shirt leaned against the door, stretched out his hand and yawned, with a smile on his face with red lips and white teeth. He grinned, and his two tiger teeth added a bit of provocation to the smile.
He raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you Shen Yi? Why are you here?"
His words were full of condescension, and he looked at Shen Yi as if he were his own servant.
