"No." Shi Jiu was puzzled, "But you have to report this matter to the officials. If you come to me, I must also report to the higher authorities for the higher authorities to make a decision. How can I, as a civil servant, still give privately to the common people? Green light? We have to pay attention to procedural justice."

Yue Nu held back for a long time, completely unaware that Shi Jiu lived up to his name, like a rock.

"Since this is the case, Yue Nu will not embarrass you anymore." After a while, Yue Nu's voice sounded again, "However, Yue Nu has not yet repaid your life-saving grace. Yue Nu has no property, let alone money. Although I want to repay you , but also shy in the pocket. Only if you have learned some rhythm and dance since you were young, and you can do it well, I don’t know if the young master would like to show you face and listen to Yue Slave play a song?"

Shi Jiu readily agreed.

In his previous life, Shi Jiu had also graduated from a major in ancient literature. Although he did not study music, the professors at the university all had unique skills, and they showed off their unheard-of unique skills at every turn, so it was no problem to talk about music appreciation in class.

But unfortunately, Shi Jiu can only hear whether the music is good or bad, and he is a complete layman when it comes to distinguishing playing skills.Although Miss Yuenu played very well, he could only praise dryly a few times, and got up to leave after the song was over.

It was getting late, and he had to go back to report on the situation of the Hehuan Sect and cook for Xiao Yusheng.It's better not to meet women in this kind of fireworks place.

Although he has arrived in another world, the education he received in his previous life is still the main part of Shi Jiu's personality.He was well-behaved in his previous life, but it was difficult for him to accept the legalization of helping women who have lost their way.

Yue Nu sat behind the screen dumbly, with her hands still on the piano, she didn't move for a long while.Those big watery eyes blinked, revealing endless confusion.

Shi Jiu just left?

His eyes lowered, and he fell on the tea that had not been served at the side.

"Tch...a hypocrite."

----------------

Feng Shu watched Shi Jiu follow with a dazed expression, and then returned with a serious expression.

"Why are you so serious?" Feng Shu teased Shi Jiu, "Why did you come back so soon? Could it be the first time you were too nervous and asked the girl to kick you out?"

Shi Jiu shook his head: "There is a new development in the case, I have to go back and report it."

Upon hearing this, Feng Shu's expression became serious, and he pulled Shi Jiu to a secluded corner: "Really? What did you find?"

"It might really have something to do with the Hehuan Sect... There are too many people outside, so let's talk back to the Demon Slayer."

Feng Shu didn't call Zhou Guotai, but asked him to continue to check the corpses of the monsters here, and then returned to the Monster Slayer with Shi Jiu.

"Can we say it now?" Feng Shu asked impatiently as soon as he entered the gate of Monster Slayer, "That girl told you?"

Shi Jiu organized his words: "The situation is like this... Actually, I also discovered a strange place last night. When the monsters attacked Jingwan Painting Boat, they shot everyone to death, but they grabbed Yue with their wrists and feet. Miss Nu. Afterwards, Miss Yue Nu was thrown to a Gu Eagle by her arms and legs, and the Gu Eagle actually took her and flew out of the city."

"If Miss Xiao Yusheng from Tianmen Mountain hadn't acted at that time, I'm afraid Miss Yuenu would have been taken away." Hearing this, the experienced Feng Shu understood a lot: "Do you suspect that these monsters were driven by people from the Hehuan Sect?"

Shi Jiu shook his head: "Not necessarily, listen to me step by step..."

At this moment, Bai Shuqiu came out from the inner hall, frowning: "Why are you two back? Where's Zhou Guotai?"

Chapter 29 Chapter 28 Shi Jiu, where's my meal? (4K)

Although Bai Shuqiu asked Shi Jiu to call him Big Brother Bai, Shi Jiu, who has been tortured by the workplace, still knows how to speak: "My lord, we have gained new clues about the case of the monster riot and the Acacia sect."

Bai Shuqiu looked at Shi Jiu for a few times, didn't say anything, but waved his hand, motioning them to enter the inner hall to talk.

After entering the inner hall, Bai Shuqiu poured a cup of tea for each of them: "Let's talk."

"This needs to start from the time when the monsters attacked last night." Shi Jiu sorted out his thoughts, "I was there when the monsters ravaged Jingwan last night, but because I was far away at that time, I have a more overall view of the scene." cognition."

"At that time, the first attack was a Heluo fish, and the first attack target was Huafang."

"There were a lot of practitioners present. If the monster attacked Jinxiang City by instinct, then practitioners with plenty of energy and blood should be its first target. But it attacked Huafang. This is the first doubtful point."

"The second doubtful point is that when He Luoyu launched an attack, he killed everyone on the spot, but he didn't hurt anyone, and he even caught her—this person is Miss Yuenu."

"The third doubt is actually the same thing as the second doubt. When I rushed to the rescue, I found that He Luoyu threw her to a gu eagle, and the gu eagle immediately grabbed her and flew out of the city. Go, also did not hurt her life, this is the third."

Bai Shuqiu looked surprised: "You..."

But just halfway through the conversation, Bai Shuqiu stopped and motioned Shi Jiu to continue.

Since Shi Jiu has been pretending to have only first-rank strength, he must not want others to know his true cultivation.Although Bai Shuqiu could see it, but because Shi Jiu may have a mission for the capital, he didn't point it out.

Shi Jiu didn't think too much, but continued to explain: "One more thing, you must have seen the corpse of the gu carving that was transported back last night. There are obvious wear marks on its feet, as if it has been bound by iron chains for a long time. The wear marks left behind, so that Gu sculpture may have been raised by humans."

"And...uh..." Shi Jiu hesitated for a moment, "I learned from other sources that Bai Yuxian Xiao Yusheng once fought against Luo Liuli, the demon girl of the Hehuan Sect in southern Xinjiang. According to reliable sources, Luo Liuli drove a A large group of monsters attacked Xiao Yusheng."

Shi Jiu gathered the known doubts one by one, connecting the connection points.

Bai Shuqiu kept nodding his head. In his opinion, Shi Jiu must be the rumored emissary from Jian Tiansi, and the information is very likely to be true.

"Today, when we were ordered to go to Jingwan to supervise the salvage of monsters, Miss Yuenu sent someone to invite us to go and told us a clue - she was attacked by a monster from the Hehuan Sect on the way to Jinxiang City. , and the demon uttered cruel words, she must be captured and brought back to the Huanzong."

Bai Shuqiu nodded thoughtfully: "Did you go there together?"

Feng Shu suddenly coughed: "Yes, that's right, we went together."

Bai Shuqiu nodded. Since they went together, it was not considered a violation of discipline: "So you suspect that the monster attack last night was done by the Hehuan Sect?"

"This possibility is not ruled out, but it is not certain." Shi Jiu shook his head unexpectedly, "Although the Acacia Sect seems to have mastered the spell to drive monsters, this is not enough to determine that the Acacia Sect must be behind the scenes."

"Because we didn't find any traces of being kept in captivity on other monsters. Although it is also possible that this is a monster temporarily captured from the wild by the Hehuan Sect, how could it be that the Hehuan Sect made such a shocking case of attacking Jinxiang City? In order to arrest a brothel girl who hasn't been selected yet?"

Bai Shuqiu suddenly raised his hand, signaling Shi Jiu to pause.Then he leaned back in his chair and thought carefully for a moment.

Shi Jiu didn't say much, but sat on the spot and waited for Bai Shuqiu to sort out his thoughts.

After a while, Bai Shuqiu seemed to have figured out the connection, and couldn't help but look at Shi Jiu again: "Xiao Jiu...you were near Flower Street that night?"

Shi Jiu nodded: "Yes."

Bai Shuqiu continued to ask: "You are here to see Miss Yuenu? Then why were you so far away from the scene when the boat performance started?"

Shi Jiu's expression suddenly became awkward.

Why?I can't tell you that I was doing psychological construction at that time, but I was chased by Xiao Yusheng for two miles in Jingwan, and I took her to the West Bridge and North Bridge where there are fewer people to go shopping and eat, so I am far away, right?

Shi Jiu's expression suddenly turned embarrassing: "My scholar friend and I were going to visit Flower Street that day...but...he went in, but I didn't..."

He was telling the truth, without any water in it.

Bai Shuqiu was stunned for a moment, then remembered the rules of Huajie, and a dumbfounded expression appeared on his face: "Young people still need to study more—is there anything else to report? If the clue you just mentioned can be confirmed in the end , will be a very valuable clue, and I will report it to Deputy Envoy Li."

Shi Jiu thought for a while, and added: "Miss Yue Nu said that she remembered the faces of the two Hehuan Sect monsters, and she would draw them later and send someone to the Demon Slayer."

Bai Shuqiu's expression immediately became more satisfied: "Very well, Xiao Jiu, although you are new here, you are very experienced in handling things. How about this, you go back and rest first, and I will go and deal with it when Miss Yuenu brings the portrait. Report to Deputy Envoy Li. In front of Deputy Envoy Li, I will definitely give a good account of your achievements."

Not to mention the demon slayer, even the entire imperial court, there are many people who have relatives and relatives.For example, City Lord Xiao's nephew was in Tiangongfang, and Zhou Guotai's uncle showed the arsenal to Demon Slayer—this kind of thing is too common.

Having said that, Feng Shu is not a fool, so he can naturally see Bai Shuqiu's extra care for Shi Jiu. It is very likely that Shi Jiu is Bai Shuqiu's relative—or someone else's relative, trust Hall Master Bai took care of him.

Since this is the case, Feng Shu is also embarrassed to take the credit of Shi Jiu: "Master, these clues were actually found by Shi Jiu alone, so I don't need to mention my name..."

Seeing that Feng Shu was very sensible, Bai Shuqiu nodded in satisfaction, but Shi Jiu didn't think so.

Doing things like this up and down is not just as simple as stuffing money.The workplace is a matter of sophistication, and it is you who come and go.Today I bring the credit to you, and tomorrow when you report the credit, you will also bring me to realize the common prosperity of the credit.

Shi Jiu cupped his hands politely: "Brother Feng is modest. At that time, we also had our own division of labor, and he was the one who completed the inspection of the monster corpses. If there is no judgment on whether the monsters are kept by humans, my news would be very difficult. Hard to prove."

After a wave of exciting business exchanges, Bai Shuqiu went to report to Li Fuchuan, while Shi Jiu went directly back to the dormitory of the demon slayer, and entered the system space while lying on the bed.

……

"Come, come, let me see what I have saved..."

Shi Jiu eagerly opened his props box and checked the monster ingredients he had saved up in the past few days.

"Hmm... spin turtle blood, make blood tofu; rabbit meat, blanch it in water for a while and then marinate it; fish meat, this raw slice; squid feet... This is contrary to the taste of rabbit meat hot pot, or it is still iron plate Burn it?"

After deciding on the dishes for tonight, Shi Jiu immediately began to prepare for the first step of the Food Fairy Feeding Plan.

The blood is rich in thrombin, and the tortoise blood has coagulated into clots at this time, bright in color, and looks a little scary.Shi Jiu cut it into pieces, then took out an iron pot and filled it with water, put the partition of the steamer into the water, and put the turtle blood on it.

It is a hero among chefs to set up the pot and ignite the fire in one go.

This kind of wild rabbit meat must first be blanched to remove the blood foam, and it must be mixed with ginger, star anise, cinnamon and other ingredients to remove its earthy smell...

Shi Jiu's movements were fast, the kitchen knife flew up and down in his hand, processing various ingredients with dizzying speed.

"I don't know if Xiao Yusheng can eat spicy food..." Shi Jiu muttered in a low voice, "If you can't eat spicy food..."

Thinking of this, Shi Jiu came to his senses and looked at the ingredients prepared today.

It's all over, it's all spicy.

"Go to Zhang Ji later and buy two catties of fried pork ribs." Shi Jiu sighed. Although he originally planned to take Xiao Yusheng to eat here, in order to prevent her from being too spicy today, he had to order Zhang Ji ahead of time. The fried ribs were brought out, "It must be enough for two people."

Not enough to eat is better, I can also take her to go shopping and eat.

Shi Jiu sighed in his heart for his extraordinary wit, and at the same time checked whether the tortoise blood was cooked.

Fresh turtle blood is bright red and looks a little scary.It needs to be boiled first and then stewed, so that the color will become what we often eat.At this step, you need to check its elasticity. If it is too elastic, it often means that its inside is not cooked yet.

"But having said that, the system, why haven't I completed the second mission of the main line of the region?"

The system was silent and did not answer.

Shi Jiu paused the knife in his hand, sensing something was wrong.

"Did I not find the right clue?"

[According to system monitoring, the host has not met the completion requirements of the main task ([-]). 】

Shi Jiu put down the knife, and began to think about what went wrong with his reasoning today.After thinking about it, it seems that only the Acacia Sect's motivation is still a mystery.

Shi Jiu tested the bottom line of the system: "System, can you tell me which of my reasoning is wrong?"

[The system cannot inform. 】

Shi Jiu hesitated to speak.

Forget it, I should have expected it long ago.

"The only problem should be why the monsters attacked Jinxiang City... No, it should be that some important clues were hidden, which caused the direction of the whole reasoning to go wrong."

"Is a certain clue false, or a detail that was not discovered?"

----------------

In a remote place on the inner island of Jinxiang City, a woman dressed in white snow was standing under the shade of willow trees by the river, staring at the water surface of Jingwan in a daze.

And Shi Jiu was about four meters away from her, staring at her with caring and foolish eyes.

It's been more than an hour, and Xiao Yusheng has been standing here for more than an hour.She remained motionless during this period, like a wooden stake, and she didn't even change her breathing rhythm even once.If she hadn't kept her eyes open, Shi Jiu would have thought she had fallen asleep standing up.

Shi Jiu could not help but sigh.

——This person is so boring, he actually stood by the river for an hour in a daze.

——It's not like me, I made full use of this hour to see beautiful women.
