"It's important that they have an outlet to blame others for their previous suffering, so they don't have to blame themselves."

Liu Zhan looked at the people gathered in Lin'an City and said lightly.

Georgette lowered her eyes thoughtfully.

Indeed, it is much better to rely on objective reasons than to blame yourself for incompetence.

"However, if the city lord of Jiang is really a clean official, then why is Lin'an City still very poor?"

Qiao Qixin wondered.

When Liu Zhan heard this, he lowered his eyes and looked at the stones on the ground, and said, "Qingguan, it doesn't mean that he has the ability."

Yes...... Although he is a clean official, is he incapable?

Qiao Qixin said in her heart.

Ahead, the people of Lin'an City were still angrily scolding Jiang Ai.

Jiang Ai is also strong, stunned or not, no matter how the people point fingers at him, they all hold their necks even more, shouting "The city lord of Jiang is a Qing official", "The city lord of Lin'an can only be surnamed Jiang" and so on.

"Everyone, listen to me." The smoky gray-faced Ling coughed darkly, and struggled to get up from the futon.

The people who were pointing at Jiang Ai all shut up and looked at Jiang Ai one by one.

He waved his hand to refuse the cloak that a woman wanted to put on him, and slowly walked in front of Jiang Ai.

Jiang Ai was pressed to the ground by the soldiers, unable to get up, so he could only tilt his head and stare at Ling Dian angrily.

Ling Di slowly squatted down in front of Jiang Ai, his eyes full of puzzlement and sadness.

"Jiang Oi...... I used to be classmates with you, why are you ......" Ling frowned slightly, and said with difficulty, "You want to put me to death."

As soon as these words came out, the people, who had just quieted down, were furious again.

"You shameless brute! He actually did this to his classmates!"

"Shameless! Something without a conscience!"

A woman pointed at Jiang Ai's face and scolded angrily.

"I'm saving you!" Jiang Ai seemed to have been greatly wronged, and roared angrily.

"Whew! What good things can the Jiang family's bloodline have! It's good if you don't kill us!" The woman smacked Jiang Ai's face.

Ling Dian hurriedly stopped and said, "Aunt Li, don't be like this, no matter what Jiang Ai does, he is a descendant of the former city lord, he doesn't know the truth, don't blame him."

The woman who was called Aunt Li by Ling Dian looked at Ling Dian with hatred and hatred, and said, "Aunt Li is looking for a place for you!" Why are you still turning your elbows towards outsiders?"

"Aunt Li, I understand, it's just that no matter what, Jiang Ai is also my classmate, how can this city lord ignore this friendship of classmates."

Ling Dian said it was true, but Qiao Qixin just felt a smell of tea wafting over......

"Darkness! You villain! Don't lend me here to win people's hearts!" Jiang Ai struggled and yelled at Ling secretly unwillingly.

"Jiang Ai," hearing this, Ling Dian said with a straight face, "I and the people of Lin'an City are all in a relationship of mutual achievement, they are all my food and clothing, I am already of the same heart with them, and I don't need to rely on you to collect them at all."

What he said actually made the eyes of several people red.

Ling Dian continued, "Jiang Ai, for the sake of the friendship between you and my classmates for several years, as long as you say who you are instructed by, I will let you go, and I will not pursue this time today."

"Darkness! You don't want to distort the facts! It's clear that you designed to kill my father (the former Jiang City Lord), and I'm just trying to get back the life you owe him for my father!" Jiang Ai glared at Ling Di, her eyes bloodshot.

Qiao Qixin looked at Liu Zhan, "Why does Ling Dian want Jiang Ai to die? Isn't he already the lord of the city?"

Liu Zhan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Where is it reflected, Ling Dian wants Jiang Ai to die?"

"The yamen also wants to talk about evidence, although Jiang Ai is arrested and is an arsonist, but Ling Dian doesn't have any actual evidence to prove that Jiang Ai set the fire, right?"

Qiao Qixin said.

Liu Zhan nodded and motioned for Qiao Qixin to continue.

"Now, Ling Dark forced Jiang Ai to say in front of everyone who instructed him, doesn't it indirectly show that

Is Jiang Ai indeed the main culprit of arson, waiting for the yamen like this, it will definitely be a profit for Ling Dark."

Qiao Qixin said, looked at Liu Zhan again, and asked, "What do you think?"

Liu Zhanmo rubbed his chin and didn't answer, but asked Qiao Qixin a question again, "Do you think Jiang Ai's words are somewhat credible?"

"Ten points." Qiao Qixin replied without thinking.

Liu Zhan was obviously stunned, and there seemed to be some surprise and surprise between his eyebrows, "Why?"

"Ling Dian is a person who is not shocked by changes, and it is difficult to judge whether what he says is true or false. And Jiang Ai is simple-minded, and everything he says reveals his true purpose, so naturally there won't be many lies." Georgette lowered her eyes.

Liu Zhan nodded, "I think about the same thing as you, but there is one thing I need to explain."

"What?" Qiao Qixin tilted her head and said.

"Jiang Ai is as dangerous as Ling Di." Liu Zhan said.

Qiao Qixin blinked, "Is there someone behind Jiang Ai?"

"Yes," Liu Zhan nodded, and then looked at Qiao Qixin with some confusion, "How do you know?"

Qiao Qixin shrugged, no way, she was so smart.

"So what are we two going to do now?" Qiao Qixin looked at Liu Zhan, her eyes flashing with excitement.

But without thinking about it, Liu Zhan shook his head in front of Qiao Qixin.

Qiao Qixin was puzzled, "If Jiang Ai is suppressed by Ling Dian after tonight's incident, then it will be difficult for the two of us to do anything in the future."

"No," Liu Zhan denied Qiao Qixin's opinion, and said, "If Ling Dian makes a move on Jiang Ai, then the forces behind Jiang Ai will definitely come out."

"Wouldn't that be even more messy? But isn't the purpose of our trip ......?"

Halfway through speaking, Qiao Qixin herself was silent first.

The distress letter was sent by Jiang Ai to Dali Temple, but Jiang Ai is now burning the City Lord's Mansion and burning it to her and Liu Zhan's heads.

And now it seems that Jiang Ai is not as helpless as he appears on the surface.

And now, that letter, do you care?

Qiao Qixin felt that her brain was twisted together again, as if she had lost her direction all of a sudden. Z.br>

Liu Zhan seemed to see what Qiao Qixin was struggling with, and raised his hand to gently cover the top of her head.

After a moment of silence, Liu Zhan spoke, "After dawn, you take the prescription and go back to the capital."

"Huh?" Qiao Qixin was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Liu Zhan, "Why?"

Why let her go back alone? Is there anything else Liu Zhan hasn't done?

Qiao Qixin's heart was full of doubts.

Liu Zhan lowered his eyes, "I...... I still have some things to do, and I will return to Beijing when I am done."

"What's the matter?" Qiao Qixin asked.

Liu Zhan avoided Qiao Qixin's gaze and moved his gaze to the people who were still arguing with Ling Dian and Jiang Ai.

「…… It doesn't matter."

"Then why can't you tell me?" Qiao Qixin frowned slightly, she always felt that Liu Zhan seemed to be hiding something.

Liu Zhan looked at Qiao Qixin, his lips moved slightly, but he didn't open his mouth in the end.

He looked away again, "It has nothing to do with you, tomorrow morning, I will look for a horse for you, and you will go back to Beijing first."

After that, Liu Zhan also added, "I order you in the name of Shaoqing of Dali Temple."

Originally, I wanted to ask a few more words to see if I could help Liu Zhan's Qiao Qixin shut up instantly.

6, even if you don't let me help, I still have to be idle.

Qiao Qixin silently rolled her eyes.

On the other side, Ling Dian and the others were still noisy.

Qiao Qixin, who was ordered by the Shaoqing of Dali Temple to return to Beijing tomorrow, was too lazy to listen.

She leaned against the wall, her hands folded around her chest, her mind tense from the fire gradually steasing.

Qiao Qixin closed her eyes and took a breath, but because she was standing, and there were people making noise next to her, she couldn't squint well.

She suddenly felt a tall figure behind her come to her.

As soon as I was about to open my eyes, I felt it

A large, warm hand was in front of him.

Qiao Qixin was a little stunned, but because she didn't perceive the danger of breath, she didn't resist for a while.

"Get some rest, you can lean on me."

Qiao Qixin's face turned red instantly.

But this can't be blamed on her, whoever makes this voice so ambiguous and low and sexy, if you don't blush, you have to wonder if you are so cold.

"Liu Zhan?" Qiao Qixin shouted tentatively.

She opened her eyes, her eyelashes flickered in Liu Zhan's palm, like a butterfly covered in the palm of her hand, and she would fly away when she opened her hand.

「…… Hmm."

Liu Zhan suddenly began to regret his move.

But he ...... to Qiao Qixin

Qiao Qixin let out a chuckle in Liu Zhan's arms.

Liu Zhan, who was already in an extremely sensitive state, instantly noticed that for a while, countless possibilities for Qiao Qixin to reject his own actions flashed through his mind.

"I said, although we are both single and have no family, but in this public, you said that I should sleep on you, isn't it a bit ......?"

The corners of Qiao Qixin's mouth rose and said deliberately.

Liu Zhan's whole body trembled as if he had been electrified, and then his hand was about to be taken away from Qiao Qixin's eyes.

「…… Huh?"

Liu Zhan was stunned for a moment, because he found that his hand was held down by Qiao Qixin and pressed in front of her eyes.

"You ......," Liu Zhan hesitated.

"Ah, sleepy." Qiao Qixin fell and fell directly into Liu Zhan's arms.

In all fairness, Liu Zhan is very handsome and has a good figure.

This bargain has been sent to me, don't take advantage of it!

Looking at Qiao Qixin lying in his arms, Liu Zhan's ears were as red as burnt steel.

He stood motionless, trying to give Georges a good pillow experience.

Relying on Liu Zhan not to move, Qiao Qixin quietly put her hands on Liu Zhan.

Wow, it's pretty hard.

Oops, eight-pack abs, tsk......

After touching it for a while, Qiao Qixin felt bored, picked a comfortable position in Liu Zhan's arms, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

In a daze, Qiao Qixin felt that she was being picked up, and then touched a piece of softness under her body.

Liu Zhan stood beside Qiao Qixin's bed, watched her turn over on the bed, and then continued to fall asleep.

After thinking for a while, Liu Zhan put a futon on Qiao Qixin's body so that she could sleep more comfortably.

After doing this, Liu Zhan turned around and came to the courtyard outside the house, facing Ling Dark.

"Ah~ Young Master Liu, take care of your sweetheart?" Ling looked at Liu Zhan with a smile.

Liu Zhan's face was expressionless, "Jiang Ai, what are you going to do with it?"

"Liu Gongzi said this," Ling Di opened the folding fan and covered the lower half of his face with a smile, "Liu Gongzi is the person from Dali Temple, how can you deal with this untouchable, and you still come to ask me?"

Liu Zhan looked at Ling Dian coldly, "You and I are honest with each other, so that I can think about whether to help you sit firmly in the position of the city lord."

"If you are still so oily, then I will return to Beijing with Qiao Qixin tomorrow, leaving you alone to fight with Jiang Ai's family."

A cold light flashed in Ling Di's eyes, but it was hidden after a moment.

"Hehe, Liu Gongzi don't be angry." Ling Dian combed his hair, "I'm going to let Jiang Ai go."

Liu Zhan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Let go? Why?"

"Put a long line to catch a big fish," Ling said with a smile, "Didn't Jiang Ai endure humiliation and become a beggar in the outer city before, just to enter the inner city? I didn't like him, and if I let him go, the people behind Jiang Ai would naturally not be able to sit still."
