When Sun Hai arrived at the scene, he saw Lin Ji holding a monster in his grasp, and he smiled and said, "So, Master Lin has already resolved the issue."
"Mm." Lin Ji nodded casually.
He had his own thoughts on this matter regarding Sun Hai. Although Liang City was not like Qingyang County, where a constable oversaw everything.
In Liang City, the urban area was too vast, with four deputy constables appointed in each direction, all under the command of the former constable, Wu Fei.
But rules were set in stone. Just because it wasn't their territory, did that mean they could completely shirk responsibility?
Even if Sun Hai took charge of this matter, what nonsense could Li Wushuang come up with?
Was he planning to retaliate against Sun Hai? Everyone was at the Third Realm, was Sun Hai really so afraid of the forces behind those people?
In the end, everyone should mind their own business.
This attitude could be acceptable for anyone, but it shouldn't be seen in the Monster Constable.
But now was not the time to discuss these matters. Lin Ji didn't have the patience to reprimand others, at most, he just felt dissatisfied in his heart.
His gaze passed over Sun Hai and Li Wushuang, landing on the Chu Qin, the constable of the Chu family.
Who would have thought that before Lin Ji could speak, Chu Qin took the lead and said, "Just for this small monster, several deputy constables had to make a trip?"
"Do you have any objections?"
"Because of this trivial matter delaying cultivation and wasting time!" Chu Qin coldly looked at Lin Ji.
As he finished speaking, he turned and walked away.
"Stop!" Lin Ji raised his voice rarely.
Seeing Chu Qin pause, Lin Ji ignored him and turned to Sun Hai.
"Which sect does this kid belong to?"
"Falling Phoenix Mountain, Falling Feather Sect," Sun Hai replied.
When it came to the reputation of their sect, Chu Qin's face immediately showed a hint of pride.
However, Lin Ji found him disdainful.
"Falling Feather Sect, a major sect in Liangzhou, quite renowned."
"Naturally!"
"But what does this have to do with you?" Lin Ji's tone shifted, scrutinizing Chu Qin from head to toe, with a hint of disdain in his eyes. "You're just an ordinary disciple of the Falling Feather Sect, what's with the act of pretending to be a genius here?"
"What did you say?!"
"What's wrong, can't handle the truth?" Lin Ji sneered, "You should be older than me, right? But now you're just one of my subordinates."
With one sentence, Chu Qin's face flushed red, staring at Lin Ji fiercely, but unable to say a word.
Lin Ji's mockery intensified, not bothering to look at Chu Qin, but turning to Sun Hai.
"This kid, since you're the constable now, he's under your command. Send a letter to Falling Phoenix Mountain later."
"Tell the people of Falling Feather Sect that since their disciples love cultivation so much, they shouldn't come down the mountain in the future."
"Chu Qin, how do you feel about this? You can go back and focus on cultivation peacefully, and I can find a more capable new deputy constable, benefiting us both."
Seeing Lin Ji's mocking expression, Chu Qin gritted his teeth, but couldn't say a word for a long time.
Seeing this scene, Sun Hai reminded from the side, "Aren't you going to apologize to Master Lin?"
Lin Ji remained silent, just looking at Chu Qin quietly, seemingly agreeing with Sun Hai's statement.
After a long silence, Chu Qin finally lowered his head.
"Master Lin, I..."
"Get lost, stop bothering me." Lin Ji waved his hand, not even looking at Chu Qin.
Chu Qin's face turned red, and he turned and left.
He really had no face to stay any longer.
Li Wushuang, who was watching from the side, felt a hint of relief unexpectedly.
He only took a kick, and he would be fine in a couple of days, but Chu Qin had really lost face this time.
Tian Jiufeng was secretly shocked, thinking that this new chief constable was indeed extraordinary. Where did he get the confidence? Could it be that he was hiding his identity? If that was the case, it would be disastrous!
Sun Hai smiled bitterly on the side, "Master Lin, Chu Qin is ultimately a disciple of the Falling Feather Sect. By humiliating him like this..."
"I haven't laid a hand on him, that's already me being patient." Lin Ji looked at Sun Hai, but his words were not just for Sun Hai, "I have always been kind to others, but I have a small mind and a strong vindictive nature."
"Dare to provoke me, if I can't handle it, then naturally I'll admit my bad luck and stay far away! But if I can handle it."
Lin Ji's gaze swept over the three constables present.
"I am the appointed chief constable of Liang City from above, besides Elder Zhan, I am the highest authority in Liangzhou for the Monster Constables. Tell me, how many of you in Liang City can I not handle?"
With these words, it was as if he had awakened everyone.
Sun Hai was stunned, looked deeply at Lin Ji, then slightly bowed and stood half a step behind Lin Ji.
Li Wushuang remained silent.
Tian Jiufeng's face turned ugly.
It was only at this moment that these local bigwigs of Liang City suddenly realized that Lin Ji, the chief constable who had parachuted in from a rural county, was indeed the chief constable!
No foundation, so what? The Monster Constable was his foundation.
No power, so what? Sitting in the position of chief constable, there were plenty of people who wanted to curry favor with him.
Previously, they thought Lin Ji had just been lucky to get the position of chief constable and didn't take him seriously at all.
But now, after Lin Ji made it clear that he was making things difficult for them at every turn.
These local bigwigs suddenly realized that this matter was not easy to handle.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Lin Ji knew that his show of authority this time had been quite effective.
"I will take this monster back for interrogation. Since you all don't want to handle this case, I will take full responsibility for it." Lin Ji grabbed the two tender shoots on the monster's head, glanced at everyone present.
With that, Lin Ji left the Zheng family garden with the monster.
The remaining three constables looked at each other.
"This Master Lin..." Tian Jiufeng was the first to break the deadlock, "isn't he a bit too harsh?"
"Haha, isn't it because you all didn't give him face first? A new official always lights three fires. Tian, you should think about how to resolve this matter!" Sun Hai said casually.
"Why me?" Tian Jiufeng frowned.
"You know the answer in your heart." Sun Hai shook his head with a smile and left as well.
Tian Jiufeng then looked at Li Wushuang.
"Don't look at me, the matter in the west of the city was my negligence, I will accept the punishment later." Li Wushuang shrugged innocently. "Apart from that, I have nothing to do with this matter. Tian, you better think of a solution quickly."
Some things didn't need to be said much, and the several constables in the city naturally understood.
Tian Jiufeng's face became even more unsightly.
