Chapter 427: Cheating is still cheating...

"You mean, Hui Yuan from Jinchan Temple is related to the corruption case of Hongjiang dredging project?"

Li Jingzhe asked with a strange look on his face.

Fu Qingzhou still looks like Wen Qingru at the moment, but for Li Jingzhe, verifying Fu Qingzhou's identity is very easy. After asking a few questions and seeing the Yi Yan Dan, he believed that the "woman" in front of him was Fu Qingzhou in disguise.

But it was obvious that he did not quite believe what Fu Qingzhou said, that Huiyuan was involved in the Hongjiang dredging project corruption case.

"Lord Li, you look unconvinced?"

Fu Qingzhou asked.

Li Jingzhe sneered, "I was also involved in this case back then, and it had nothing to do with the Jinchan Temple. But you, it's no secret that you have a grudge against the Jinchan Temple. Are you using this to gain personal benefits?"

"Why do you say that, Lord Li?" Fu Qingzhou said with a smile, "Although you participated in the case back then, you didn't know all the details, right? You yourself said that there are still doubts."

"Although many years have passed, when I re-investigated the case, I found some suspicious points that were not exposed at the time. Isn't it normal?"

Li Jingzhe smiled wryly: "Really? Then tell me, what is the connection between Jinchan Temple and this case?"

"That's hard to say."

Fu Qingzhou spread his hands and said, "Besides, I haven't investigated it thoroughly yet. How can I tell Lord Li about something without any evidence?"

Two of the four secret agents couldn't hold back their laughter.

Li Jingzhe was unable to maintain his composure and slammed the table: "Fu Qingzhou, do you believe this nonsense?"

"I've come all the way here to investigate, why don't you believe it?"

Fu Qingzhou did not look embarrassed at all: "Before the case is solved, there are countless possibilities. Lord Li has investigated countless cases. How could he not know this principle?"

There was a faint urge to spit fire in Li Jingzhe's eyes, but he suppressed it in the end.

"I have said that Mingjian Pavilion will not help you investigate this case."

He said in a deep voice: "What you did today has crossed the line."

"Alas... Lord Li, this is indeed because I am not capable enough." Fu Qingzhou blinked and said, "I accidentally lost the Mingjian Zhishi card. Otherwise, I would not have bothered you to come here."

Li Jingzhe sneered, with a few big words written all over his face - keep making up stories.

"of course."

Fu Qingzhou pretended not to see it and smiled, "Master Li, you are willing to come here to help return the Mingjian Zhishi card. I am very grateful..."

"Stop!"

Li Jingzhe glared: "What do you think I'm here for?"

Fu Qingzhou blinked innocently: "Aren't you here to return the jade token to me?"

Li Jingzhe's fists on the table were clenched and made a crackling sound like popping beans.

"Good good..."

A strong sense of oppression emanated from him: "How dare you treat me like a monkey..."

"Hey! Lord Li, you can't say such things!" Fu Qingzhou immediately became serious.

He put down his crossed legs, stood up, and bowed deeply to Li Jingzhe: "I, Fu Qingzhou, am very grateful to Lord Li for his help. This case does not require any additional help from Mingjian Pavilion. I feel really bad for troubling Lord Li to make an extra trip and causing several secret envoys to get hurt..."

He looked up at the emissaries and asked tentatively, "How about I pay a little money and treat you all to a drink?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the secret envoys burst into laughter.

"Boy, do we look like we're short of money?"

A secret envoy said helplessly: "Besides, are you trying to bribe the imperial officials?"

"Oh, this is so messed up..." Fu Qingzhou scratched his head: "How about, when I meet Master Xiangjian later, I will ask him what to do? Or do you think I should ask Lady Ning for some advice first? She and I have such a good relationship, she will definitely help me think about it."

Li Jingzhe almost couldn't hold back the urge to roll his eyes after hearing this.

The four secret envoys naturally understood the implication and stopped talking. They secretly glanced at their commander.

"okay."

Li Jingzhe suppressed his anger and waved his hand. The jade token that Fu Qingzhou had asked someone to quietly throw away appeared on the table again: "Take your token and work on it slowly."

After saying that, he stood up, waved his sleeves, and was about to leave.

"Hey wait."

Fu Qingzhou suddenly shouted: "Well... four secret envoys, how about leaving your names?" "Huh?" Several secret envoys were stunned.

"I didn't say anything nonsense just now." Fu Qingzhou said with a smile: "I really feel a little guilty. I originally thought that only Lord Li would come..."

Li Jingzhe turned his head and glared at him fiercely.

What do you mean? Can I, Li Jingzhe, be tricked by you into taking risks?

Fu Qingzhou ignored him and clasped his fists towards the emissaries, saying, "Please leave your names. When this matter is settled, I will come to your house in person to apologize."

The secret envoys did not dare to answer and kept looking at Li Jingzhe secretly.

After a moment of silence, Li Jingzhe snorted coldly, perhaps because he was thinking of the relationship between Fu Qingzhou and the Ning family, or something else: "He'll stay, but is there anything shameful about our being a secret envoy of the Mingjian Pavilion?"

Fu Qingzhou curled the corner of his mouth.

Brine some tofu, one thing down one thing.

Although Li Jingzhe is awesome, there are always certain names that can calm him down.

This can be considered as the fox taking advantage of the tiger's power... But as long as it can achieve the goal and is harmless, Fu Qingzhou doesn't mind at all.

The four secret envoys each gave their name. Fu Qingzhou memorized them and watched them leave.

After leaving the wing room, Li Jingzhe led several secret envoys and walked past Huiyuan without even looking at him, and just strode away.

After they left, Huiyuan hurriedly led "Xiao Kuizi" Qiuchan into the side room.

At this time, Fu Qingzhou had already hidden the Mingjian Zhishi card and sat behind the table with a sad face, head lowered, and said nothing.

"you……"

After hesitating for a moment, Hui Yuan asked, "What did you tell Ming Jian Pavilion?"

"What did I say?" Fu Qingzhou raised his head with a "resenting" look: "Is this all you care about?"

Behind Hui Yuan, Qiu Chan's face twisted and she pinched her palm hard to force herself not to laugh out loud.

Huiyuan sighed deeply.

"You've been here for a long time, haven't you?" Fu Qingzhou continued to ask, "Otherwise, you wouldn't show up so soon... But you came, but just looked at me. What were you looking at? Do you think I was lying to you?"

As he said this, he even stood up and turned his head away: "In your heart, I am just a chess piece of Concubine Jing, right?"

In his mind, the smoker was laughing so hard that he was about to collapse.

Not to mention Yan Gui and Qiu Chan, Fu Qingzhou himself was about to vomit.

If he had not been forced to watch several Qiong Yao novels and read several female-oriented books with his female classmates in order to pursue girls in the police academy in his previous life, he really would not have been able to say such sour words.

But this method is actually quite useful for an "honest man" like Huiyuan.

After being blocked for a while, Huiyuan sighed helplessly: "Well, are you okay?"

"I'm not good."

Fu Qingzhou turned his back to him and shook his head, saying, "Now, I don't want to talk either... You want to know what I said to that Lord Li? I won't tell you."

As he said this, he turned around and touched his earlobe - when the illusion array was broken, a piece of Wen Qingru's earlobe was torn off, so after he transformed into Wen Qingru's appearance, his earlobe was also missing a corner.

Similarly, Qiu Chan, who disguised herself as Wen Kui, naturally had no index fingers on both hands.

Fu Qingzhou touched his earlobe and said expressionlessly, "The illusion array in the courtyard has been broken. If someone comes to look for me again, I won't feel safe... If you are willing, set up a new one. After this is done, I will tell you about the Mingjian Pavilion."

After that, he looked at Qiu Chan again: "Xiao Kuizi, I'm hungry. Go outside and buy some meat and vegetables. Remember, there can't be any vegetarian dishes."

This sentence seemed to be meant to deliberately anger Huiyuan by not making vegetarian dishes that he could eat, but it was actually a secret code that had been agreed upon between the two of them.

This means that Huiyuan has arrived and is ready to take action to notify the fellow sisters and fellow practitioners at Ziqixianfeng Temple!

Qiu Chan's eyes immediately lit up, she responded, turned around and walked out.

On this side, Hui Yuan was silent for a moment, nodded slightly and said: "Okay, I will go to set up the formation first."

After saying that, he turned and left the room.

"Old thing."

Fu Qingzhou looked at his back, smiled slightly in his mind and said: "It's up to you now - add some ingredients to his illusion array."
