"How many secret guards do you have?" Qiao Qixin suddenly raised her head with a smile on her face, but her trembling hands revealed her extremely uneasy mentality at this time.
Liu Zhan said truthfully, "There are ten."
"Then when did you get involved in the Li Mansion?" Qiao Qixin trembled even more violently.
Liu Zhan took a deep breath and said quickly, "I know you blame me, but I am doing this for the sake of the road! For the people's livelihood! Do you know how much disaster relief funds issued by the court have been privately swallowed by the Li family!"
"Let me ask you, when did Li Mansion's secret guards come in?"
"……half year ago."
"Ha, half a year." Qiao Qixin sneered and said sarcastically, "Young master Liu, this secret guard is not strong enough. It took half a year to let you know that the purpose of recruiting people in the Li family is to bleed people to cure diseases of the Li family's daughter."
Liu Zhan was silent.
"Mr. Liu, before I came to the Li Mansion, you swore to tell me that you had no information at all." Qiao Qixin said with a smile, "You are so good at replenishing blood..."
"That's enough!" Liu Zhan suddenly became fierce and reached out to hammer the tree behind Qiao Qixin.
Crash--
Swirling leaves fell from the sky.
A sarcastic smile appeared on Qiao Qixin's lips.
"Do you think that without me, your fate would be better than now? Without me, you would also be sent to the Li Mansion!" Liu Zhan's eyes were fierce.
The punch was so powerful that it almost hit Qiao Qixin's ear.
But she was still not intimidated by Liu Zhan.
"Yes, I will be sent to Li's Mansion, but at least I just need to stay and wait for someone to drain my blood! There is no need to take risks and come here to find you!" The tone was fierce, but Qiao Qixin's eyes were as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
.
She really almost died on the night of the bloodletting. The fear that night brought to her was even more unbearable than skin peeling.
"I'm very tired, Liu Zhan, you can find someone else." Qiao Qixin stuffed the medicine box and silver hairpin back into Liu Zhan's arms and walked away.
"Qiao Qixin! I said this is for people's livelihood! As a small shopkeeper, you have no worries about food and clothing, can't you be considerate of the farmers who have had their disaster relief funds deducted!" As soon as he said this, Liu Zhan regretted it.
But words spoken are like water thrown out, there is absolutely no possibility of taking them back.
Qiao Qixin stood five steps away from Liu Zhan.
A gust of cool breeze blew by, and her long hair swayed in the wind.
"Hug, I'm sorry..." Liu Zhan said helplessly.
Qiao Qixin turned around and instantly closed the distance between herself and Liu Zhan.
She raised her foot——
Boom!
Liu Zhan raised his hand by his ear to block Qiao Qixin's kick to his temple.
My legs and wrists were sore from the shock.
Qiao Qixin smiled and retracted her legs, and said lightly, "Liu Zhan, you know, I really hate you a little."
What exactly does he hate? Qiao Qixin doesn’t know either.
She was originally going to be sent to the Li Mansion, and Qiao Qixin understood this.
Liu Zhan rescued him halfway, gave himself time to adjust, and promised to protect Sister Zhang and Brother Zhang. The exchange for finding the account of Li Shangshu's misappropriation of disaster relief funds when he was in the Li Mansion was also considered an exchange.
Both sides have their own purposes, and both sides are taking advantage of each other.
There's nothing to hate.
But when he saw the blood-replenishing pill and hairpin that Liu Zhan gave him, a sense of hatred still appeared for no reason, and ran around in his body for no reason.
Qiao Qixin lowered her eyes, took the medicine box from Liu Zhan's arms and opened it.
She took out a blood-tonifying pill from it and swallowed it in front of Liu Zhan.
"Sorry, I just lost control." Qiao Qixin said after swallowing the blood-tonifying pill that was stuck in her throat.
"Wait, wait." Liu Zhan was a little confused.
Qiao Qixin's kick just now was really aimed at kicking herself to death. Why did she suddenly do it again?
"What are you waiting for?" Qiao Qixin put away the remaining two blood-tonifying pills.
This blood-tonifying pill is similar to the one in the system mall, so you can save some seeds.
"No, so are you going to continue to track down Li Shangshu's misappropriation of disaster relief funds, or..." Liu Zhan hesitated.
Qiao Qixin sighed, then looked directly at Liu Zhan and said, "Of course I will continue to chase, but you need to tell me all the information you know."
"If I encounter something like bloodletting unprepared again, I will really hate you." She lowered her eyes and looked at the hairpin in Liu Zhan's arms and said lightly.
Liu Zhan was silent for a moment, "I have to go back and discuss it with Master."
"Sure enough, there is someone above you." Qiao Qixin blurted out these words almost subconsciously, "Is it the Minister of Dali Temple?"
Liu Zhan opened his mouth, then paused for a while and said, "Yes."
Qiao Qixin also fell silent.
The two of them looked at each other in silence. Finally, Qiao Qixin chose to ignore the topic and turned around and asked, "Where are Li Shangshu's accounts? Have they been traced?"
Liu Zhan shook his head.
This time he really didn't hide it, because the Li Mansion was divided into the inner mansion and the outer mansion. The inner mansion was also protected by Li Mansion's special hidden guards. Liu Zhan's people could not sneak in, and at most they could only observe from the outer mansion.
"Do you have any clues, like where should I look for clues?" Qiao Qixin frowned slightly.
Liu Zhan shook his head again, and the atmosphere between the two solidified again.
"You have no clue. Why did you send someone to tell me why I came here to fight with you?" Sometimes Qiao Qixin really doesn't understand the brain circuits of these rich kids.
Jia Yulian was the same. He suddenly ran over to look for her, but was spoken to a few words and then ran away.
Fortunately, she thought something had happened to Brother Zhang and Sister Zhang, so Jia Yulian risked his life to find her and report the news.
Liu Zhan was embarrassed and at a loss when asked by Qiao Qixin.
He really had no clue. He came to see Qiao Qixin because there was a banquet held at the Li Mansion and there was a chance to see her, so he came.
