The whole family went crazy after reading my mind, and I became a favorite after eating melons

Passers-by look proud.

"We have thousands of delicacies in Liuzhou. This snail and lion noodle can become the favorite of Liuzhou people, but it is all based on strength!"

Xu Zhiyan nodded in agreement when she heard this. At the same time, she did not forget to take another chopstick powder into her mouth. The soft and glutinous powder was mixed with crispy sour bamboo shoots and crispy peanuts. She narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.

According to her usual food intake, she would definitely not be able to finish this bowl of noodles, but she couldn't resist how delicious it was. Not only did she finish it, she also finished it in a very short time. After taking a short rest, she got up and walked towards the noodle shop again. .

Xu Xixi was shocked.

"Master, please don't eat anymore. If you eat too much, you will feel uncomfortable."

"I won't eat it. I'll just take one back for each of my brothers."

The store has been in business for many years, and its packaging skills are still very good. If you put oily paper on the can one after another, the smell will not come out at all.

Xu Zhiyan happily took her things back, just as Xu Yanqing and Li Wenjin were playing chess in the hall.

She put the things on the edge of the chess table, then picked up the entire chess board and put it to the side. "We will play chess later. Let's try the delicious food I brought back. For the first time, I know that the noodles are okay." So delicious!”

This evaluation was so high that it aroused the curiosity of the two of them.

Li Wenjin was relatively calm by nature and was still sitting there waiting for Xu Zhiyan to introduce him. Xu Yanqing couldn't wait any longer and took a can directly and quickly opened the oil paper.

The moment the stench overflowed, his expression changed and he covered it with the oil paper again.

Like a stop-motion animation, his head lifted up one after another, and he looked at Xu Zhiyan with eyes full of disbelief, "Sister, you said this is delicious? Are you kidding?"

How can something that smells like the stones in a latrine taste good? !

Xu Zhiyan was anxious.

Taking his hand away and peeling off the oil paper, the domineering smell instantly spread in the hall, and Li Wenjin's face froze at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Zhiyan, I think this thing may not be edible."

"Or maybe I can't eat this kind of food, or I won't taste it to avoid wasting food."

Li Wenjin said that she was about to leave, but Xu Zhiyan quickly held her down with quick eyes and hands, "I'm not lying to you, this is really delicious, I don't care, you both have to try it today!"

She cunningly pressed on Li Wenjin, holding his clothes tightly with both hands.

【oops! This is really delicious, but it smells bad. As long as you are willing to try it, you will fall in love with the taste. What can you do to make the little brother and Wen Jin want to take a bite! 】

Xu Zhiyan was brainstorming.

In the end, Li Wenjin sighed, "If you want me to have a taste, you have to get off me first, otherwise I won't be able to eat."

After hearing this, she immediately came down and sat next to him. Her fingers were hooked on the hem of his clothes, and her eyes were staring at his hand holding the chopsticks.

Under this gaze, Li Wenjin took a taste.

After swallowing, he raised his eyes and looked at Xu Yanqing.

“It’s really delicious.”

Xu Yanqing looked at him with big eyes.

"Really? You can't lie to me just to please Xu Xiaoyan."

Having said that, Xu Yanqing took a big bite without hesitation, and then his expression of surprise was exactly the same as Xu Zhiyan's before, and Xu Zhiyan was extremely proud.

"I told you it was delicious, but you still don't believe me!"

Li Wenjin murmured again slowly.

"It's not that I don't believe you. It's just that the taste of this powder is too untrustworthy. It's just that it's delicious. If it suddenly smells like this, I'll have to take a shower before going out."

Xu Zhiyan focused on the word "going out". "Where are you going to play?"

Li Wenjin smiled and gave her a headache.

"Why are you thinking so much about playing, Zhiyan? Have you forgotten that our main mission this time is to patrol?"

"Of course when I go out, I just go to see the efficiency of the local government and whether it has promulgated any policies that benefit the people, but I guess there are none of these. After all, there are corrupt officials here."

The little girl has been running around without being seen these days, and it is rare that she talks about these things. Now that she has the opportunity, Li Wenjin will talk more to see if she can get out any useful information.

Xu Yanqing didn't know what he was planning, but his attention was attracted by the word "corrupt official".

He frowned and tapped the table with his fingertips.

"Corrupt officials? Have you found any evidence now?"

"Yes, the court has no corresponding records of a tax levied locally. I specifically searched the files and found that this tax was canceled twelve years ago. This tax is this amount per year."

Xu Zhiyan glanced at the number written by Li Wenjin on the table with her hand dipped in water.

I clicked my tongue in my heart.

[Good guy, five thousand taels a year, twelve years is a full 60,000 taels of silver! How dare these people be greedy! 】

[It’s just that this number doesn’t match my impression. I remember when these people were arrested, the amount of corruption that was revealed was as high as 400,000 taels of silver! 】

Four hundred thousand silver? !

Li Wenjin's eyes darkened.

In order to avoid being noticed, he immediately lowered his eyes to the table as if thinking, and wiped away the water traces little by little with his fingers.

"And I think the total amount of corruption is far more than that."

Xu Yanqing sneered.

"It's really funny. It's so difficult for an army to get paid for an expedition. Officials in a city can just be greedy. This world, ha!"

Although everyone at this table was alone, the walls had ears, so his words could easily be made into a fuss about. Xu Zhiyan quickly tugged on his sleeve and said, "Brother, be careful what you say!"

Xu Yanqing knew her sister's kindness, curled her lips and swallowed the rest of her words.

Li Wenjin smiled gently.

"It's okay. I'm taking the initiative to say this. I just hope you can speak freely and provide me with some ideas. I guarantee that every word we talk about will not be spread to outsiders."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people appeared out of nowhere and quickly rushed out to surround the inn airtightly.

Xu Zhiyan expressed shock at this operation.

"There are so many of us?"

"Of course, these are people placed in dark places. Just like when you go shopping or something, they will be around you, but you can't find them."

[Fortunately, I have the habit of packing delicious food back for my family to try, otherwise I would be labeled as a solitary eater! 】

Li Wenjin didn't expect the angle of her attention to be so strange. He was worried that she would think about it later and take away his train of thought, so he hurriedly spoke out.

"Okay, now that the environment is safe, let's continue to discuss. If such a large sum of money was pocketed, there must be traces. I am more suspicious of these people."

He pulled out a list.

Xu Yanqing took over to check, and Xu Zhiyan naturally came to his side, holding his arm and looking around.
