On the second floor of Zuihua Building, the young magistrate was still standing by the window railing, looking at Zhang Tianchang and Lin Rui below: "Sir, you are right, I have been reckless this time, and I should be patient for a while."

Master Du, who was standing behind him, raised his hand towards the young county magistrate: "It is because of your kindness that you don't want the people of this county to continue to be exploited and tortured by corrupt officials and demons, so you act more urgently. However, I did not expect that Jiang Dianshi and The connection between the county captains is so deep."

When the county magistrate just handed over the account book, he had already hinted that he had no intention of delving into Jiang Dianshi's guilt. However, Jiang Dianshi still chose to turn over the table without hesitation and sided with the county captain.

This is very rare in other places. After all, Dian Shi and the county magistrate have conflicts in terms of authority. Under normal circumstances, Dian Shi is naturally the county magistrate's right-hand man.

However, since the county magistrate took office, he has repeatedly used methods of dissension and instigation, but he has been unable to separate Dian Shi and the county captain.

There is a huge problem hidden in this.

"This matter is indeed strange. As far as I know, Jiang Dianshi and the county captain are not related. They had conflicts with each other when the county captain took office in the early years. Why do you think Jiang Dianshi hugged him to death? Don’t let go of the county captain’s thigh?”

The county magistrate immediately shook his head and laughed: "It's useless to say this now, we still have to deal with the Blood Sword Princess as soon as possible."

"This matter should not be difficult." Master Du looked unconcerned: "Now that three hundred county soldiers are about to enter the city, the daily security in the city should be no problem. As long as the people from the Imperial City Department arrive, they can take out the Blood Sword Princess in a day or two. Down--"

But before he finished speaking, he heard the young county magistrate say in a light voice: "There is no more Imperial City Division."

Master Du was stunned for a moment and looked at the county magistrate: "What do you mean, sir?"

"The news from the county is that the Imperial City's 'Wangchengdu' has suffered heavy losses recently, and Yidu's 'Yulongzhi' has almost been blamed. It is estimated that within a month or two, we will not be able to count on the Imperial City." manage."

The young magistrate handed a letter to Master Du: "As for the county soldiers in the county, they can't stay here longer. They will have to return to the county in a month at most."

Master Du opened the letter and took a quick glance at it, then his head was full of black lines. He thought to himself, under such circumstances, do you still dare to have a showdown with Jiang Dianshi?

He immediately realized that the magistrate's move was probably a last resort.

The news that Wangchengdu in the Imperial City Division was severely damaged will soon spread. Once Jiang Dianshi learns of this, he will be even less likely to compromise. Even the three chieftains who turned to the county magistrate may turn against him.

Today's game is actually forcing them to take sides.

"So from now on we're on our own."

The young magistrate looked towards the Yamen: "Sir, do you think those who were killed one after another in the past four days really died at the hands of the Blood Sword Princess?"

"I personally checked the scene. Whether it is from the traces on the scene or the wounds left behind, there is no doubt that it is the Blood Knife Princess, especially those corpses, all of which were sucked up."

Master Du frowned when he said this: "My lord, why do you ask that? Could it be that you feel something is wrong?"

"Didn't you notice that some of the deceased had conflicts with the county captain, or had business conflicts, or had grievances in the past?"

The young magistrate smiled slightly, took out a folding fan from his sleeve and opened it with a bang: "I never believe in coincidences. If coincidences keep happening, there must be something wrong."

Master Du's eyes became solemn: "It is really possible to say that. If your judgment is correct, then there are two situations. One is that the county captain controls the demon and pretends to be the Blood Sword Princess to kill people; the other is that the The county captain has a way to control the Blood Sword Princess."

Either way, the situation is dire.

Their county lieutenant is a master in the late fourth realm of cultivation, and there are four hundred county soldiers as minions, and there are Dianshi Jiang Hanzhang and many head catchers as their arms.

If he still colludes with demons, and even controls a fourth-level high-level demon like 'Blood Knife Princess', his power will be unimaginable.

"I want to bet on the first possibility. The county magistrate has not yet fully controlled the Blood Knife Princess." The young magistrate smiled slightly: "So I plan to stay at Zuihua Tower in the past few days to meet her for a while and see her. Let’s see if we can conquer it.”

This is the place where the 'Blood Knife Princess' loses control and devours its master. According to the demon's habits, after losing their master, the Blood Knife Princess will linger near the place where their master died for a long time.

"I wonder if sir, have you ever heard of a legend? Most of the Blood Knife Princesses like handsome, young and strong handsome men. The younger and more handsome their masters are, the more they like them and the more loyal they are -"

Mr. Du's face suddenly darkened. Where did your Excellency hear the rumor? It's completely ridiculous, not to mention that the adult seems to be too confident in his appearance.

"I'm kidding." The young county magistrate shook his hand and looked solemn: "But this may be the only good strategy at present. I now have some information. The blood of the Blood Sword Princess may be stronger than we thought before. I am probably not Her opponent, the county captain, also has other plans for her."

When Mr. Du heard this, he couldn't help but feel even heavier. Is the bloodline of Blood Knife Princess really that strong?

Mr. Du then tactfully advised: "I advise you to give up this idea. The Blood Knife Lady will never surrender easily. If you force it, you will most likely lose both of you. Even if you succeed by chance and make a blood pact with her, there will be a risk of her devouring her master again in the future. Once the Blood Knife Lady loses control again, I am afraid it will cause greater harm.

Once a demon like the Blood Knife Lady tastes human blood, it will be difficult for people to control them. They will be controlled by desire and want to devour the master's spirit and blood at all times to regain their freedom.

"I know this is a temporary solution, not a permanent one. I have to do it."

The young county magistrate shook his head slightly: "Let's find a way to survive these two months first. After two months, when the Imperial City Department is restored, everything will be solved. "

As he spoke, he deliberately touched a scroll hidden in his sleeve.

The young county magistrate was actually not sure that he could suppress the desire and evil intentions of the Blood Knife Lady in the two-month period, but the problem was that he had no choice now.

In the entire Yinyue County, he was the only county magistrate who was capable and willing to suppress the Blood Knife Lady.

If I don't go to hell, who will?

The young county magistrate could only hope that this treasure he bought from the county at a high price would be more powerful.

※※※※

Zhang Tianchang was taking Lin Rui to receive his robes and seals.

Although Lin Rui was only acting as the deputy head of the police, he still got the robes and tokens of the deputy head of the police.

Of course, his salary in the yamen was still the standard of a black belt constable, and the clerk's notice also had "black belt" written on it.

Lin Rui then followed Zhang Tianchang into the backyard where the county magistrate lived and got a set of third-level armor and three low-grade soul stones.

Soul stones are heavenly The specialty of Polestar can strengthen mental power, and the effect is far better than the "mental power strengthening liquid" developed by the Federation.

The effect of a low-grade soul stone is equivalent to three doses of mental strengthening liquid, and there are no sequelae.

The official purchase price of the Federation is 5,000 federal coins per piece, and the prices offered by those alien companies are even higher.

That third-level armor is even more precious. It is actually a set of divine hedgehog armor covering the whole body. The defense is equivalent to the exoskeleton armor of the Federation captain level. It is very strong and has the ability to resist injury.

There are only a few pieces of this level of armor in the entire yamen, and those third-level constables do not have it. The company's purchase price may be more than 100,000 federal coins.

So this county magistrate is a very generous person.

While taking him away, Zhang Tianchang introduced Lin Rui to many colleagues in the yamen class, as well as the position of deputy constable.

"You know how to use the waist badge, right? "

Zhang Tianchang's face was a little solemn when he said this, with worry in his eyes: "You must be careful these days. If you encounter any emergency, don't hesitate, just use your badge to notify me.

There are also manpower. According to the regulations of our county government, a deputy chief constable must be equipped with a black belt and three green belts. Hanhua Lane is a place rich, so it is reasonable to add more. But you have seen the situation in Zuihualou just now. There are no extra manpower in the government now. I see that Wang Erqi is very close to you, so I will just assign him to you. As for the remaining three people, I will give them to you when the government recruits people in the next few days. "

Lin Rui originally had a bad impression of Zhang Tianchang.

He had not forgotten Zhang Tianchang's forced conscription this morning, and the tense look on his body in Zuihualou just now.

At that time, Zhang Tianchang would blow his head off with a palm if the county magistrate gave an order.

However, after following Zhang Tianchang's circle, his bad impression had disappeared by 70% or 80%.

Lin Rui cupped his hands: "The head constable is worried, is it because he feels that the situation is not good?"

Zhang Tianchang smiled bitterly: "The current situation is like a storm is coming. I actually regret recommending you to the county magistrate. I didn't expect that the county magistrate would directly appoint you as the deputy head constable, which may blow you to the cusp of the storm."

He then cheered up and patted Lin Rui on the shoulder: "In short, be careful these days, do your best in Hanhua Lane. If you are really not capable, I will help you to explain to the county magistrate. There is no need to worry too much. The county magistrate is very intelligent and has a plan in mind. He must have a way to resolve this crisis. "

After he finished speaking, he put his hand on his sword, turned around and strode out of the door.

Lin Rui looked at his impetuous figure thoughtfully, wondering if the situation in the county was so dangerous?

He thought of the warning from the management bureau again, and then while thinking, he stuffed a low-grade soul stone into his mouth and bit it into pieces with a "crunch".

The way to use the soul stone is to grind it into powder and swallow it with water. If conditions are not available, you can just bite it into pieces.

Soon after these powders entered his mouth, Lin Rui felt a coolness in his mind.

It is a long process for the human body to digest the soul stone. In the next three days, he will be in this state until the soul stone is completely digested.
