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

Chapter 68 Conspiracy
  "Okay, no problem. I'll add a piece of iron pot stew for you. This is Anhe's specialty. I make sure you eat it once and recite it the next time."

Xu Zhiyan counted the dishes in her mind and felt that only three dishes were not enough. She then thought that she was at home anyway and could always add more if there was not enough, so she said nothing. When the dishes were served, she was dumbfounded.

"so much?!"

The dishes in Yangzhou Prefecture are less exquisite, but the portions of the dishes here are very large, and one dish can rival many in Yangzhou Prefecture.

Xu Zhiyan was glad that she didn't add any extra food just now, otherwise she wouldn't be able to finish it until she was full.

Zhang Qili didn't think so. He scalded the bowls and chopsticks himself and placed them in front of Xu Zhiyan and Li Changxun, then each picked up spareribs and pig's trotters.

"Eat the vegetables first, taste them and see if they taste good. If you think they are salty, put some rice on them and eat them."

Xu Zhiyan chewed off a large piece of meat in one bite, and a circle of sauce smeared around her mouth. Li Changxun was still chewing on the bones. When he saw it, he grabbed the handkerchief and wiped it for her, and said vaguely, "Eat it." Slow down, don’t eat the tabby cat.”

She couldn't find the words to reply, so she just nodded.

Zhang Qili saw the two little ones loving each other and suddenly said, "Are you two set to have a baby kiss?"

Li Changxun was so frightened by these words that he choked, coughed non-stop, and waved his hands repeatedly.

After finally calming down, he quickly explained.

"No, Xu Xiaoyan and I are friends, and her betrothed is His Highness the Crown Prince. This time we also followed the large army to deliver supplies to Yingbiogou. His Highness was worried that it would be unsafe for her to stay there, so he sent us to Anhe. "

Zhang Qili suddenly realized.

No wonder the little girl just said she was going to write a letter to His Highness. She thought it was just a newborn calf not afraid of tigers, but now it seems that it is a routine behavior for little rabbits raised around tigers.

"I see, I misunderstood."

It's just that being engaged to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince shows that Hua Rong has really lived a good life these years.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

That's good.

……

When the meal was almost done, Zhang Qili's men came in, took a look at Xu Zhiyan and the two, and at Zhang Qili's signal, they opened their mouths to report the news.

It turns out that Zhang Qili sent someone to investigate the fire in the department store.

The cause of the fire is confusing.

"Qin Liyue's business has grown and expanded very quickly. It is not ruled out that some people will be jealous and take cruel measures."

"But it is also not ruled out that the people targeting Miss Xu knew in advance where Miss Xu was going, deployed there in advance, and planned to take Miss Xu's life."

Xu Zhiyan was shocked by these words.

[What do you mean, Anhe is no longer safe? It shouldn't be. When I was separated from others in the department store, no one else came to approach me. It didn't seem like those people had done this. 】

[Or in other words, those people are not yet capable of breaking through Zhou Jingyuan's defense line so quickly and inserting people into Anhe. 】

Li Wenjin dared to let Xu Zhiyan come to Anhe, because she must have trust in this place, or she trusts Zhou Jingyuan. In this case, it is impossible for her to be in danger here so quickly.

She slowly approached Zhang Qili.

"Uncle Zhang, I think he is probably Boss Qin's enemy. It has nothing to do with me. Is Boss Qin okay now?"

Zhang Qili didn't really ask about Qin Liyue's situation. He glanced at his subordinates and the other party answered immediately.

"Boss Qin himself was not seriously injured, but the department store suffered heavy losses. Almost all the valuables on the second floor were wiped out, and not much was left on the first floor. Many people were injured or died because of the fire."

Xu Zhiyan recalled the grand scene she saw when she arrived at the department store, and realized that the "many people" were an understatement, and the casualties could be considered heavy. She pursed her lips.

"Then should we go see Boss Qin? Don't we still know the specific cause of the fire? As a boss, Boss Qin must be familiar with big department stores. Let's ask her. Maybe we can gain something else."

Zhang Qili bent his fingers and gently touched her little face with his knuckles. He felt soft in his heart when he saw a small dent in her chubby little face.

"Xiaoyan is so smart. I'll go see Boss Zhang tomorrow."

"Instead of uncle going by himself, we will go too, right? Chang Xun?"

Li Changxun was pulled into the water. He didn't want to understand the connection, so he obeyed his heart and gave a vague affirmation.

The little kid said he was going, so Zhang Qili thought it was not a dangerous thing, so he agreed. The next day, he brought gifts and the children to visit Qin Liyue, who was injured and recuperating at home.

When they arrived, Qin Liyue looked very anxious and kept flipping through the book. Even though she reluctantly calmed down after seeing them, she still didn't calm down.

This kind of behavior does not look like he is only worried about losses.

Xu Zhiyan relied on Tong Yanwuji and asked directly.

"Aunt Qin, what's wrong with you? You seem very scared. Are you afraid of fire? Don't be afraid, the fire has been put out!"

Qin Liyue reluctantly raised the corners of her lips and gave a perfunctory smile.

"Okay, okay, don't be afraid anymore."

Zhang Qili didn't believe this at all, but he didn't have the childishness to protect his body. After a few polite greetings, he asked about the cause of the fire in the department store. But who knew that her face changed drastically and she actually ignored her feelings? , made it clear that the guest was kicked out.

Being treated so humiliatingly, Zhang Qili didn't look good. The first thing he did after returning was to order his men to check on Qin Liyue. He was sure that she was hiding something terrible.

Xu Zhiyan had the same idea as him and signaled the people Li Wenjin sent to protect her to follow him and check.

Those people were indeed Li Wenjin's people, with outstanding abilities, and they came back with results in less than an hour.

"Qin Liyue received a batch of goods from Wujiang three days ago. After repeated confirmation, those goods were smoked from a special plant in Wujiang. Used in small amounts, it can make people soothed. If burned in large quantities, a large amount of toxins will be produced. .”

"The fire was so intense that day that the toxins were mixed in the smoke and carried far away. Now it has been confirmed that three people were infected and people have been brought under control."

The smoke mixed with toxins infected normal people.

This proves that the infection rate and danger of this toxin are extremely terrifying.

Xu Zhiyan's mind froze.

[Could it be that the plague that was supposed to occur in Yingbigou in the original book appeared in Anhe due to the butterfly effect? 】

[No, Wen Jin’s letter yesterday clearly stated that an epidemic had already appeared in Yingzui Valley. It appeared so long in advance. It was obviously a change in the story, so it is normal for abnormalities to occur in other places. 】

Xu Zhiyan forced herself to accept it, and then quickly thought about the solution to the current matter.

But no matter how hard you brainstorm, it can't compare to seeing it with your own eyes.

She looked down at her toes and had a plan in her mind.

……

midnight.

Two small black figures appeared at the base of the wall and ran out quickly and cautiously.
