Jian Lingkong bowed and then looked at the girl.

"Is this price okay?"

The little girl was stupid.

What kind of person is this? He took out two thousand taels and still asked if it was okay.

"Use....not that much."

Wright frowned slightly.

He actually saw some guilt in the little girl's eyes.

Things suddenly seemed to get interesting.

"If you take this money, you will be mine from now on. This is not just a simple statement. I advise you to consider it carefully."

The little girl was a little confused, but she felt it would be a waste not to take the money.

In front of everyone, the little girl stretched out her hand to take the money.

At this time, a shout came from a distance.

"No! That person is a liar. He travels around and commits crimes. He has committed dozens of frauds."

Jian Lingkong raised his eyebrows slightly, and Wright smiled.

The little girl didn't hesitate, she picked up the banknote and turned into a wisp of black smoke.

Jian Lingkong sighed in his heart.

"What a brilliant escape technique."

At this time, a woman in official uniform and a high red ponytail jumped into the center.

He was wearing a brocade official uniform, a belt with animal heads on it, a jade tassel with a peace lock on the side, and a Tang sword on his waist.

Heroic and valiant is the most suitable adjective to describe her.

Chapter 513: Don’t ask whether she should lie or not, just ask whether she lied or not

The woman's name was Huangfu Riyue. She was a princess of the Suzaku Dynasty and also an official of the Suzaku Division.

Huangfu Riyue looked at the sword flying in the air.

"Why didn't you stop her."

Jian Lingkong was stunned for a moment.

"Why should I stop her?"

Huangfu Riyue resisted the urge to hit someone.

"Did I just say that guy was a liar?"

The sword flew into the air without hesitation.

"said."

"Is it your money that she took?"

“It’s my money.”

Huangfu Riyue was helpless. "You could have stopped her from taking your money and running away."

"Why should I stop him?" Jian Lingkong was a little puzzled.

"She's a liar."

Jian Lingkong frowned.

"Did she lie to me?"

Huangfu Riyue covered his forehead and adjusted his emotions.

"She took your money and ran away. If she's not a liar, what is she?"

"Didn't you come all the way to tell her she was a liar and come to catch her so she ran away?"

The woman broke down. "Because she's a liar, that's why I want to catch her."

"So you scared her away. If it wasn't for you, she wouldn't have left."

The woman was speechless.

"Why don't you understand? She's a liar."

"She is a liar to you, and you have reason to arrest her, but to me she may be a liar. Maybe she really wanted to deceive me, but because of your appearance, she was scared and did not carry out her fraud."

"So she hasn't cheated me yet. You look like an official. She broke the law, so you should arrest her. But I don't have the power to stop her. I wanted her to take the money anyway, but you yelled at her and she ran away with my money, so you should bear the responsibility."

As he spoke, Jian Lingkong stretched out his hand.

"Two thousand taels, give it to me."

The people around were obviously stunned.

They didn't expect that Jian Lingkong would dare to ask the officials for money, and his reasons were somewhat impeccable.

Huangfu Riyue was so angry that he jumped up and down. "How can you be so unreasonable?"

Jian Lingkong's expression turned serious.

"Okay, let's be reasonable. Did that little girl lie to me? Don't talk about whether she should lie or not. Just talk about whether she lied or not."

Huangfu Riyue was speechless.

"this....."

"I'm asking you, is it because of your yelling that she ran away?"

"Forehead...."

Huangfu Riyue was speechless.

"So, shouldn't I ask you to pay for this?"

Huangfu Riyue surrendered.

"I can't argue with you. I didn't bring any money on my business trip. How about you come to my house and I'll get it for you?"

Jian Lingkong sneered.

"If I follow you, I'm afraid I'll have the money but not the life to spend it."

Huangfu Riyue frowned.

"This is not okay, that is not okay, what do you want?"

Jian Lingkong asked back.

"It's not what I want, it's what you want."

Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Wright spoke out to stop it.

"Brother, that's enough. There's no need to vent your hatred towards our sister on her compatriots."

Jian Lingkong smiled slightly.

"Okay, I'll go and eat first."

The three of them left in front of everyone, leaving Huangfu Riyue with a confused look on his face.

I felt like I was being teased. What senior sister? What compatriot? Who are these people?

Huangfu Riyue looked at the carpet he had found at a bargain price. Inside the beautiful carpet was straw wrapped in the shape of a human.

The three of them were eating and drinking in a private room at Mingcui Building, the most luxurious hotel here.

Three people and a big table of food, this kind of situation is the most enjoyable.

Jian Lingkong also ate a lot, after all, he hadn't eaten anything in the past few days.

While eating, Wright asked, "Brother, are you sure you can find that little girl?"

Jian Lingkong smiled and said, "Did you figure it out?"

"I can see it, and you will definitely see it too. The two thousand taels were just bait, but it was a pity that that person messed it up."

Jian Lingkong took a sip of tea.

"Don't worry, my divine sense has already locked onto her. Let's go check her out after dinner."

"it is good."

After eating, the three of them left Mingcui Tower.

Jian Lingkong led the two to a relatively secluded abandoned courtyard on the outskirts of the city.

Jian Lingkong pushed open the door. The room inside was extremely dilapidated. The surrounding wall was crumbling and the walls of the house were barely supported by wood.

This scene brought back Wright's memories.

Jian Lingkong looked towards Wright.

"what happened?"

"It's okay, I just remembered something."

There was no door in the house. The three of them stepped over the broken threshold and entered the house, which was a narrow living room. On the right was the bedroom, and there was no extra room on the left.

Jian Lingkong pushed open the bedroom door and saw a shocking scene: four little children huddled together, covered with a torn quilt.

The little eyes looked at the few people through the hole in the cup, and the ball couldn't help trembling.

Jian Lingkong walked forward and lifted the torn quilt, revealing a group of dirty little children.

Appear in front of everyone.

The children's eyes were full of timidity and hostility.

One of the children stood up, protected the others, and said excitedly: "Don't come over here."

Jian Lingkong looked towards Wright.

"Do we really want to be bad guys?"

Wright shook his head: "I don't know."

As he spoke, he took out a bag of dried meat from the Dimension Ring and handed it to Jian Lingkong.

Jian Lingkong also roughly understood what Wright meant.

He opened the bag of dried meat, took out a piece, put it in his mouth and chewed it, then walked forward a few steps and put it in front of the children.

The rosy color and subtle aroma of the jerky gradually broke down the children's defenses.

The children stretched out their hands and slowly approached the bag of dried meat, but the moment they touched the meat, they instantly pulled their hands back.

He put the dried meat into his mouth and chewed it like Jian Lingkong.

The more I chewed it, the more addicted I became, and gradually I let down all my guard.

Jian Lingkong chuckled softly to Wright and said, "As expected, children can't resist the temptation of food."

"Your Excellency may not be unable to bear it."

Once all the children were released, they let down their guard. Wright saw that these children had many scars and sores on their bodies.

Wright brought out a bathtub and filled it with water.

"What do you mean, Junior Brother?"

"These children have bad sores on their bodies. They must be treated or they will die."

"Then what can I do?"

"Use your Qi to heat this bucket of water and wash their bodies first."

Jian Lingkong scratched his head.

"Qi is good for keeping warm, but for heating... I don't have a fire attribute spiritual root."

Wright was stunned.

"Is there still such a thing as spiritual roots?"
