Qiao Qixin sighed, "This Lin'an City is really miserable, but this kind of thing, shouldn't you go to the emperor to ask for more disaster relief food?" How did you ask for help and come to Dali Temple? ”

Liu Zhan lowered his eyes and said, "In the imperial city, it is not peaceful. ”

"What?" Qiao Qixin said.

"It's okay," Liu Zhan shook his head and said, "You go back to the Fusheng Inn first, come to Dali Temple early tomorrow morning to meet me, and you and I will go to Lin'an City together." ”

"Okay." Qiao Qixin nodded.

——

Fusheng Inn

"Going out again? You didn't come back last night. Jin Yan brought a plate of fried pork to the table and said dissatisfiedly, "Why is this Dali Temple like this, how long have you just been in, and you have been busy, and you haven't even rested." ”

Qiao Qixin shrugged her shoulders and stuffed the chopsticks into her mouth, "Dali Temple doesn't have any manpower, so I'm busy, and I don't have to make any effort, it's all Liu Zhan who is busy with it." ”

"You've helped them talk." Jin Yan crossed her waist with one hand, and pointed her other hand on Qiao Qixin's head.

Qiao Qixin said "hehe", "There are many moons in Dali Temple, so if you are busy, you will be busy." ”

"Silly girl," Jin Yan said angrily, sitting across from Georgette, "Do you know what you're doing?" If you're not careful, you're going to lose your head! ”

Qiao Qixin smiled silently, covered her head and cooked.

Jin Yan sighed and didn't say anything more, just looked at Qiao Qixin cooking with a little complaint.

——

night

Georgette was lying on the bed and looking through the window at the bright moon outside the window.

The moonlight is shining.

There is no problem with what Jinyan said during the meal, if there is a choice, Qiao Qixin also wants to stay in Dali Temple to paint a portrait, and does not want to go out and take risks.

But what about it—

Qiao Qixin looked at the system interface with a headache.

On the top of the column to be completed, a task suddenly appeared, [Solve the mystery of Lin'an City]

Qiao Qixin had no impression of the issuance of this task, if it wasn't for her whim to check it, this task would have been missed.

If you miss it, after Liu Zhan investigates the case alone, this system can almost be said to be useless.

Because he can only complete one task before he can issue another.

As for the task has been stuck, what the consequences will be, Qiao Qixin does not know.

She often called the system, but the system was completely silent, just like it was during the update, and only popped up with release tasks.

But now, the release tasks have become silent.

Georgette bit her knuckles.

She still remembers the conversation with the system a long time ago, and remembers that before her, the system followed many people.

When Georgette asked about the condition of the previous host, the system's answer was-

[Host won't want to know]

Since then, Georgette has been troubled by the system.

If you can use it for yourself all the time, that's fine, but if the system has bad intentions......

Then I had to find a way to kick it out of my body.

"Whew-"

Georgette lay on the bed and exhaled.

Although that is the case, if this system is really to be eliminated from the body, then Qiao Qixin really has no clue.

She rolled over and forced herself to sleep.

After touching about half a pillar of incense, Qiao Qixin was already asleep.

A blue light flew from her temple and landed beside the bed.

A light blue humanoid form gradually formed.

"I didn't want you to die so early."

The figure reached out and slowly touched the side of Georgette's cheek.

A wave of electrons spread from the humanoid fingers to the whole body.

The violent fluctuations did not stop until he left Georgette's body.

The humanoid figure stood beside the bed, with blue transparent pupils belonging to artificial intelligence, and Gu Jing stared at Qiao Qixin without waves.

“…… Then good luck, host. ”

——

Early in the morning, Qiao Qixin lay on the bed and opened her tired eyes.

I don't know why, she fell asleep and felt a person standing next to the bed, and part of her consciousness remained awake, but she woke up again when she was completely awake.

So it belongs to not sleeping well, and not waking up.

Qiao Qixin went downstairs with dark circles under her eyes, and Jinyan was startled when she saw her, "You were a thief last night?" ”

"No, I didn't sleep well." Qiao Qixin yawned.

"Why don't you talk to Liu Zhan, go back to sleep first, and go when you wake up?" Jinyan Road.

Qiao Qixin waved her hand, "No need to ...... Hah-"

She came to the table, brought her a bowl of white porridge, and then brought fritters and pancakes.

Qiao Qixin was sleepy while eating breakfast, "By the way, sister, you had a room last night?" ”

"Huh? No, you have something to do today, how can I disturb your rest. Jinyan, who was busy behind the counter, looked up and asked, "What's wrong?" Did you get into your room in the middle of the night with a thief? ”

"No," Qiao Qixin yawned, "I just fell asleep and felt that there was someone standing next to me, so I didn't sleep well." ”

Jinyan thought for a moment, then shouted, "Bolt! Didn't you keep a vigil last night? Someone entered Qixin's room? ”

The bolt poked its head out of the kitchen, "No? I spent the night last night down there and didn't hear anything from above. ”

Qiao Qixin held the porridge bowl and drank it in small sips.

She heard the bolt's words and nodded, "I guess I dreamed in the middle of the night." ”

Jin Yan held her cheek with one hand and looked at Qiao Qixin worriedly, "Otherwise, you should talk to Liu Zhan, don't go." ”

Qiao Qixin shook her head and said, "It's okay, I can do it, sister, don't worry." ”

Jinyan sighed, turned around and took out a purse from the counter and stuffed it into Qiao Qixin's hand, "There are thirty taels of silver here, you can hide it yourself, if something really happens, you can hire a carriage to come back." ”

"No need, sister, it's not easy for you to save money on your own." Qiao Qixin smiled and pushed the purse back, "Don't worry, sister, I have money." ”

Jin Yan sighed, put away her purse, patted Qiao Qixin's shoulder and said, "I went to Lin'an City, I want to follow Liu Zhan, and if I have anything, I will look for him, anyway, he asked you to join Dali Temple, you have to make him responsible for you, don't be afraid to trouble him, you know?" ”

"Yes." Qiao Qixin nodded and said, "Sister, then I'll go to Dali Temple first." ”

"Sister will send you." Jinyan walked out from behind the counter and reached out to hook a cloak and put it on her body.

Jinyan is afraid of the cold, and when she is blown by the wind, she will freeze until her bones are blown, and she has to soak a column of incense in hot water for a long time to get better.

"Sister, don't go," Qiao Qixin said worriedly, "It's quite cold outside." ”

"It's okay, Sister Lu can still accompany you at this point." Jinyan said with a grin.

Qiao Qixin looked at Jinyan worriedly, then ran to the bolt, asked him to boil hot water, and boiled brown sugar ginger tea, and then put a cloak on Jinyan.

"Let's go, you have to come back quickly, don't go outside." Qiao Qixin said.

"Got it." Jin Yan put her arm around Qiao Qixin, and the two walked to Dali Temple together.

In front of the Dali Temple, Liu Zhan was already waiting there.

He saw Jin Yan next to Qiao Qixin, frowned, and said, "The weather is getting colder, why do you still come out?" ”

Jinyan made a straight face and said dissatisfied, "It's not you yet, so dangerous places are all pulling Qixin together, can I rest assured?" ”

Liu Zhan shrugged, "I have my own measure. ”

"You've got a head!" Jin Yan reached out to knock on Liu Zhan's head, but Liu Zhan dodged it.

She sighed angrily, "Okay, Qixin, you follow Liu Zhan, don't walk around alone, you know?" ”

Qiao Qixin nodded obediently.

Liu Zhanfei got into the car, then turned around and stretched out his hand to Qiao Qixin.

Qiao Qixin hugged Jinyan and said goodbye officially, turned around and followed Liu Zhan's strength to get into the car.

The carriage drove on.

As she walked, Qiao Qixin suddenly heard the sound of "clang".

She turned her head from side to side, unable to hear the source of the voice, so she asked Liu Zhan on the side, "Did you hear any strange sounds?" Is there something wrong with the carriage? ”

Liu Zhan looked at Qiao Qixin's waist and said, "Isn't it the voice of your purse?" ”

"Purse?" Qiao Qixin was stunned for a moment, "I didn't bring a purse." ”

She looked down and saw a purse hanging around her waist at some point, which was really the one that Jinyan wanted to give her before she came out.

"Jinyan hangs." Liu Zhan said.

Seeing Qiao Qixin looking at herself with a shocked face, Liu Zhan explained, "She won't let me say it." ”

Qiao Qixin was even more shocked.

Why didn't she notice it?

Liu Zhan seemed to see the doubts in her heart and explained, "Jin Yan is also an assassin, although she fell ill in the operation, but this foundation is still a little. ”

Liu Zhan was referring to the fact that Mimi quietly hung her purse on Qiao Qixin's waist.

"I didn't expect Sister Jinyan to be an assassin." Qiao Qixin looked down at the purse, and her heart was mixed.

"There's nothing to worry about, she took a lot of orders when she was an assassin, and she made a lot of money, and now she has opened an inn, and she is not poor at all." Liu Zhan said, "So since she gave it to you, you just kept it, and you don't need to have any psychological burden." ”

Georgette thought for a moment, and finally put her purse away.

But she didn't plan to spend it, and planned to stuff it into the counter for Jinyan when she went back.

"By the way," Qiao Qixin said, "Does Sister Jinyan know about Lin'an City?" ”

Liu Zhan was stunned, "Why do you say that?" ”

"Just a few words you and Jin Yan said in front of the car, I feel that Sister Jin Yan seems to know, and Lin'an City is still very dangerous." Qiao Qixin told her feelings truthfully.

Liu Zhan pondered for a moment and said, "When she was still an assassin, she once received an order from Lin'an City, but she came back in just one day. ”

"Why?" Qiao Qixin asked.

"Because people are dead." Liu Zhan said.

Georgette was silent.

Yes...... That seems to be quite efficient......

"She did not kill the people, but the people of the city." Liu Zhan said slowly.

Qiao Qixin frowned slightly, "Who died?" ”

"Former city lord, Jiang Hezhi." Liu Zhan said.

"Ah, I don't know." Georgette scratched her head.

Liu Zhan clasped his hands around his chest and looked down, "Jiang He is a Qing official, and he has made many decisions that are beneficial to the people, and he has never deducted the people's disaster relief funds, nor has he increased taxes privately. ”

"Then why did someone hire Sister Jinyan to kill him?" Georges asked.

Liu Zhan glanced at Qiao Qixin and said slowly, "Because he is too clear, the corrupt officials don't like him, so they hire someone to assassinate him." ”

Qiao Qixin was dumbfounded for a moment, "Then, why did the people kill him again?" ”

When Liu Zhan heard this, he sneered, "Because some people say that Jiang He has privately withheld disaster relief funds and increased taxes without authorization." ”

"But, didn't you say that he was a clean official?" Qiao Qixin felt a little confused.

"Well, he is indeed a clean official." Liu Zhan said.

"Then why ......"

Qiao Qixin hesitated.

"Because he is so clear, some people don't like him." Liu Zhan looked out of the carriage.

Georgette was dumbfounded.

She opened her mouth to say something, but she didn't know how to say it.

"Do you want to ask, why would the people do that, so to a clean official?" Liu Zhan said.

Qiao Qixin nodded.

"Because some people say that Jiang He has secretly withheld disaster relief funds and increased taxes without authorization." Liu Zhan chuckled.

Qiao Qixin was dumbfounded again.

"Just because, this?"

"yes." Liu Zhan looked at Qiao Qixin with a smile, but his eyes were full of sadness, "So the development of Lin'an City to such a point is not all the fault of the officials." ”

"The ignorant also have some of the credit."
