The Killer's Cleansing Manual

Chapter 131 You are so pretty, it’s a bargain for me

"Grand Secretary Qin Wenxiang has disrupted the imperial court, deceived the emperor, resold official positions, and abused his power for personal gain! He will be punished for multiple crimes! His property will be confiscated, and he will be beheaded immediately at the Meridian Gate! The rest of the officials will be dismissed and exiled, their property confiscated, and they will be banned from entering the capital or holding office for life!"

All the officials knelt on the ground in panic, but they could not help but shout, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Qi Yili turned to look at Lin Shanjuan, and his eyes suddenly softened.

"Minister Lin has been rewarded with a thousand taels of gold and a hundred pieces of cloth for his meritorious service in solving the case. He will be promoted to the second rank and concurrently appointed as the Governor of Kyoto. He will take up his post today."

Ji Shihan was shocked—the governor of Kyoto? He was in charge of the capital's finances and grain. This Lin Shanjuan really became a piece of fat meat!

Lin Shanjuan knew that this reward was probably Qi Zhaomian's idea, and she must have her own arrangements, so he just said politely, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Qi Yili glanced at Xiaodunzi, who understood and pierced his throat:

"Retreat—to the north!"

Qin Wenxiang suddenly came to his senses and cried out miserably: "Your Majesty..."

Qi Yili didn't want to hear him continue shouting "I am innocent", so he gave Lin Shanjuan a look and left with Xiaodunzi.

If he doesn't take this opportunity to get rid of this old guy, he would be a fool!

It’s not up to you whether it’s unfair or not!

Qin Wenxiang was dragged up by Qi Zhen and dragged out like a dead dog.

When passing through the forest and mountains, it is natural to have a bit of a tantrum.

“Lin Shanjuan! Lin Shanjuan! Even if I become a ghost, I won’t let you go! —Ah—!”

The remaining curse was knocked back into Qi Zhen's stomach along with his teeth with one punch.

Lin Shanjuan was unmoved, but instead took the initiative to talk to Ji Shihan with great interest.

Ji Shihan simply hated this disaster star. Ever since this person appeared, he has been causing trouble for him time and time again. It is really hard to guard against him!

I originally asked Qisi to kill her, but I didn't expect that Qisi, who was supposed to come back to report, didn't come back, and the one who shouldn't have come back did!

Although he intended to recruit him, the ability displayed by Lin Shanjuan clearly showed that he was not a fool who could be easily used by him, so he still had to be careful at every step.

As she approached, Ji Shihan took a step back reflexively.

"Why is Grand Tutor Ji so wary of me?"

Ji Shihan snorted coldly, and the wariness in his eyes increased instead of decreasing.

"Minister Lin is very sharp-minded and solves cases like a god. I admire him, but I naturally have to keep some distance."

Lin Shanjuan wanted to take out a small notebook and write it down.

No wonder this old fellow has been able to stay in officialdom for so many years; he really knows how to talk.

"On the way back, I met someone I admired and wanted to send him to the Grand Tutor's residence. Unfortunately, he died this morning."

She showed a look of regret, and she was really regretting Qisi's death.

Outsiders would probably say that she had intentions, but Ji Shihan knew in his heart that this "person he admired more" was most likely Qisi, who had been missing for many days and had not returned to report.

He was shocked. He knew the level of his subordinates very well. Even Qisi fell into this woman's hands. What about the people behind her...

At this time, Ji Shihan obviously had not realized that the "master behind the scenes" was the seemingly weak woman in front of him, and he was still speculating secretly.

Lin Shanjuan knew what he was wondering about by looking at his expression. He couldn't help but sneer and no longer had the desire to continue communicating.

"Goodbye, Master Ji."

Ji Shihan suppressed the doubts in his heart and responded calmly. Then he put his hands behind his back and got into the carriage of the Grand Tutor's Mansion with a heavy heart.

Lin Shanjuan looked at his back and snorted coldly, feeling sorry for Qisi.

Qisi's death was to keep Ji Shihan's secret as secret as possible, but what about Ji Shihan?

What he cared more about than Qisi's death was what kind of expert he would have by his side who could kill Qisi.

It is said that a killer's life is cheap. In this era, in the eyes of those masters, the killer's life is even cheaper.

It's just a pity, pity for Qisi's loyal life.

After explaining other follow-up procedures, Lin Shanjuan told Qi Yili about the burning of Jin Hong's study. Qi Yili readily agreed to help him find a new study.

After everything was done, Lin Shan was tired after several days of work. He stretched and rode his horse lazily back to the princess's mansion.

Qi Zhaomian was still in the study. Lin Shanjuan just glanced at her through the window pane and then went back to Heyang Palace to wait.

It was dusk, and the setting sun was as red as blood, hanging on the top of the dark green mountain.

She was still feeling uneasy because of Qisi's death, staring at the orange pond in a trance, not even noticing Qi Zhaomian walking up behind her.

It's only been a few days since we last met, but it feels like every day has been stretched longer.

Qi Zhaomian's eyes softened as he looked at Lin Shanjuan's dazed expression. She was folding her arms on the window, with half of her face buried in her arms, squeezing out the soft flesh on one side of her cheek.

It looks nice to touch.

Qi Zhaomian didn't hesitate much. She raised her hand and pinched the soft flesh, startling Lin Shanjuan.

"You're so lost in thought. What's going on? Haven't you ever seen the sunset?"

The beauty looks at me, smiling sweetly.

Lin Shanjuan's heart was beating wildly. Even the sunset was so fond of beauties that it was willing to coat Qi Zhaomian with a gentle orange-red.

Qi Zhaomian's appearance and demeanor have never been ignored by anyone. Lin Shanjuan changed his focus from appreciating the sunset to appreciating Qi Zhaomian, supporting his cheek with one hand and looking at her leisurely.

After a long while, she sighed in a very soft voice.

“It’s unbelievable.”

Qi Zhaomian was stunned: "What's unbelievable?"

Lin Shanjuan's face was gradually filled with a silly smile: "Such a beautiful person, she is my girlfriend."

girlfriend.

Qi Zhaomian didn't quite understand. Seeing this, Lin Shanjuan happily changed his words: "No, we have already been married and you are my wife. You are so beautiful, it's really a bargain for me."

Qi Zhaomian's face suddenly turned red, and he turned away with a scolding tone.

"Smooth talk!"

Lin Shan leaned half of his body over, and when he saw the rounder curve on her cheek, he stood up and hugged her from behind.

"Why, you don't like hearing this?"

Qi Zhaomian didn't say anything, but he didn't deny it either. He just asked about the case: "Is everything handled?"

Lin Shanjuan nodded, and when he smelled the fragrance of Qi Zhaomian, he couldn't help but rub her shoulders and neck: "Well... don't you know everything?"

Qi Zhaomian subconsciously straightened his back because of the sudden itchiness, and suddenly thought of that exhausted early morning, and his face turned red.

"We have to go to dinner soon, so don't be so unruly."

Lin Shanjuan could hear her trembling voice and held her tightly, "How could you be so presumptuous? Even if I don't kiss you, I can't just hug you."

Qi Zhaomian found it hard to accept someone saying such intimate words, and most of the time, she would feel a little frightened by Lin Shanjuan's enthusiasm.

Fear...

If you pour all your enthusiasm on yourself now, it will cool down quickly when you withdraw later.
