Chapter 155: Shocked
Qi Jingzhi took out of his arms and naturally took out the waist card of the detective service, relying on this official status, he did go all the way as Liu Muzhi said, it was quite convenient when he needed to win the trust of others.
Only this time, the reaction of the gatekeepers when they saw the waist card was extremely abnormal, not only did they not relax their vigilance in the slightest, but there was a certain complex and incomprehensible meaning in their eyes.
There is confusion, shock and bewilderment, but also fear, resentment and even undisguised hostility.
For a while, no one paid attention to Bannu and Zhuniu anymore, but all the armorers looked at the young swordsman who claimed to be the detective of the Demon Suppression Courtyard, and the atmosphere at the city gate became extremely delicate, even more than three or two horsemen when they arrived.
Team Gu first stared at the waist card several times, then took a few steps back, raised his head and glared at Qi Jingzhi viciously, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you here for the tengu?"
Qi Jingzhi was keenly aware that after hearing the questioning of his own team, many of the soldiers in the armor were breathing heavily, their muscles were tense, and the back of their hands holding knives was bruised.
Wei Bao also saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Gu Teamzheng, what happened in the city?" Did you really fly from the sky last night?"
Gu Teamzheng ignored him, just stared at the young swordsman on Bannu's back for a moment.
Qi Jingzhi was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head, and only lightly spit out two words in his mouth: "Private matter."
Hearing these two fluttering words, Team Gu Zheng and the armor soldiers behind him all looked slightly relaxed, although they were still calm, but the previous tension was obviously relaxed.
"Since it's a private matter, and there is the Wei family as a guarantee, then let's go over, the brothers still have official business, so they won't accompany you!"
As he spoke, the Gu team with a straight face was slowly standing sideways to the side, and a few more armor soldiers stepped forward to move away from the horse.
When the two sides staggered by, the team commanding the fifty armor soldiers said coldly: "We are all settled in the county, if anyone dares to do anything hurtful to heaven and reason, the eyes of the brothers will recognize the waist card, but the steel knife in their hands will not recognize it!"
This was said very inexplicably, and even Wei Bao, who was the most familiar with the head and the ground, couldn't figure it out, just looking at the Gu team's cold eyebrows, he knew that he couldn't ask anything from the other party's mouth.
Fortunately, the name of the Demon Suppression Courtyard and the face of the Golden Sword Wei Clan were still useful, although these elite armorers belonging to the Jiuzhen County Metropolitan Mansion were obviously hostile to Qi Jingzhi, but in the end they were reluctant to let them go, and there was no real conflict.
When the three of them entered the city, what they saw was also a bleak scene, with all the shops with door panels, and there were not even half of the people on the street who got up early to beg for a living.
Other than that, the city was relatively peaceful, and there was no such horrific sight of broken doors and fires as at the gates, as if the tengu had been swept away by the sky and chased after the old ways last night, except for the destruction of a city gate, it did not cause more damage.
The three of them relaxed slightly, immediately discussed a few words, and went their separate ways.
Geshu Dashi is a bearded slave in the mansion of Marquis Anfeng, although it is definitely very different from ordinary slaves, but it is still a little out of place if he does not return overnight, and he naturally wants to go back at this time.
Wei Bao originally wanted to show Qi Jingzhi the way before going home to check, but seeing his restless appearance, Qi Jingzhi immediately shook his head, just asked him about a few positions, including the Demon Suppression Commander's Office and the Wei Mansion, and then made an appointment to meet in the backyard of Baiyun Palace at night.
Seeing the two of them go separately, Qi Jingzhi reached out and patted Bannu's neck.
This must be the first time that this guy has faced so many armor soldiers with steel knives, and it is also the first time that he has swaggered into such a big city, and he is a little nervous in addition to excitement.
To calm the emotions of his mount, Qi Jingzhi went to the first place of the trip-Jiuzhen County City God Temple.
When he left Huaide County, Linzhou, he entrusted Liu Muzhi to Songling County to bring two letters, one to Grandpa and one to Meng Fuzi, and made it clear in the letter that he was going to come to Jiuzhen County, Liaozhou.
After that, Qi Jingzhi went to Chaozhou to go to the birthday banquet of the Dragon Mother, which inevitably delayed for a few days, and then turned to Liaozhou.
The reason why I want to come to the County Town God Temple, instead of going to the county temple at the same level as the Yin Si of Songling County, is only because there is only the County Town God Temple in the county town of Daqi, at least this is the case with all Qi Jingyi on the road, and after asking Wei Bao before, I know that this Jiuzhen County is no exception.
Interestingly, in the county town of Daqi, there will be a county guard and a county order attached to Guo to set up a government in the same city, and even two levels of officials live next to each other, but there is often only one city god.
After all, the first line of the city god is called a god according to the city, and it is the county god in the county seat, and it is the county city god in the county seat, and it will not be like the official system of the court in the world, and another county god with overlapping underworld and useless land under the county city god.
There are exceptions, often because of the population growth and the expansion of the city, the county seat is newly upgraded to a county seat by the imperial court, and the newly arrived county officials either directly change the original county temple in the city to a county temple, or build another county temple and abandon the county temple.
In this way, if the original county town god fails to be promoted to the county city god, he will be temporarily attached to the county temple and taste the taste of sending people under the fence.
As for how long this kind of situation of sacrificing multiple city gods in one temple will last, it depends on when the edict of the lord of the country to change the seal and the official document of the Ministry of Rites to move the temple will be delivered.
Qi Jing found the Chenghuang Temple in Jiuzhen County all the way, knocked on the door of the temple that was also closed, and explained the reason to the temple and then got a letter, and the signature of the sender on the envelope was Meng Hui of Songling County.
The envelope was thick, with a lot of paper stuffed inside, apparently a long letter.
Qi Jingzhi was shocked when he read the first page, and he almost couldn't believe his eyes.
It was only because Meng Fuzi said at the beginning that after receiving the letter forwarded by the Songling County Ya, he immediately set off to go to Shanqian Village in person, but found that the Qi family's courtyard had already been closed and locked, and the house was empty.
Because the Taoist priest named Hujun and the two ghost boys had not yet been arrested, Meng Fuzi immediately became suspicious and entered the courtyard without hesitation, and then found a letter from Qi Laohan in the hall, which was also attached to the letter.
Seeing this, Qi Jingzhi became more and more suspicious, and hurriedly turned a few pages back, and saw a handwriting that was very different from that of Meng Fuzi.
Each stroke is crooked, but it penetrates the back of the paper, and each word is written so much that it cannot hold much content on a piece of paper, and it has to be divided into many pages to write.
Qi Jingzhi knew that his grandfather knew a few words, but he had never seen him write with a pen, so he could not distinguish the authenticity of this letter from the handwriting, but whether it was the tone of the letter writer or the things mentioned in the letter, he was sure that this long letter with a few words was written by his grandfather.
In this letter, Qi Laohan even specially mentioned the sumptuous lunch that was made for Qi Jingzhi, a plate of scrambled eggs with leeks, a plate of fried bacon with garlic sprouts, a plate of fried small trash fish, and a pot of stewed pheasant with wild mushrooms. Z.br>
Seeing these four dishes, Qi Jingzhi immediately remembered that rather special day.
Before that day, he had just stabbed Chen Er, and on the same day, he witnessed the powerful Lu Ao being taken away by Dong Mao, and learned that Meng Fuzi was the god of the underworld, and obtained the fragment of the "Immortal Feather Sutra" from the spiritual mask!
