The Killer's Cleansing Manual

Chapter 128 The most important thing for a killer is to save his own life

Qi Zhaomian fell silent again. This was an uncertain thing. Whenever something was uncertain, it could not be controlled.

She hated the fact that she couldn't control things that she cared about.

Lin Shanjuan rubbed her head and answered the last question:

"And about who I obey. Now and in the future, I will only obey you. But if you suddenly stop loving me, if you suddenly abandon me, I will not betray you."

Qi Zhaomian hugged her back: "No."

Her Royal Highness the Princess is a man of her word, and her words are as good as gold. If she says she won’t do it, then she won’t do it.

In fact, there are not that many people around her, and the only one who can make her feel so at ease is Lin Shanjuan.

How could she destroy her peace of mind, and how could she push her away.

There is only one person, and what is ostensibly hers is also hers in reality. There is only one heart, and if I want to give it, I can only give it to one person, and I cannot share it.

"Oh right." Qi Zhaomian suddenly remembered something important. "A few days ago, I got news that Xue Ying had already passed the message to Ji Shihan. She believed our drama over the past few months. I'm afraid that sooner or later, Ji Shihan will send someone to test your attitude."

Lin Shanjuan nodded. "Then I'll just go with the flow and pretend to be completely disgusted with you. Let's see what they're going to do."

Qi Zhaomian nodded: "Besides that, there is another thing we have already found out. Chu Kuo is the murderer. I didn't have time to tell you last time."

Speaking of this, Lin Shanjuan straightened his back and said, "If you mention this, you will praise me."

Qi Zhaomian looked up at her in confusion.

Lin Shanjuan kissed her forehead and said, "I have thoroughly investigated the case. Chu Kuo confessed everything yesterday, including buying the official position and hiring a killer."

She lowered her head. "He also told me that in Qin Wenxiang's study there are account books showing his transactions of buying and selling official positions and accepting bribes over the years."

Qi Zhaomian's eyes lit up: "Then wouldn't it be possible..."

Lin Shanjuan raised his chin slightly. "I raided and arrested him last night. Today I have to check and confiscate the others according to the list in the account book."

Qi Zhaomian looked at the gradually brightening sky outside and said, "But... you didn't get much rest last night."

Lin Shanjuan chuckled: "Feeling sorry for me?"

A blush appeared on Qi Zhaomian's face. She was still unable to say such words out loud, so she just agreed.

Lin Shanjuan felt itchy when he saw her shy look, and he turned over and pressed her under him: "If you feel sorry for me, then reward me."

Qi Zhaomian subconsciously clamped his legs together: "How...will you reward me?"

Lin Shanjuan saw the fatigue in her brow and suddenly changed his mind, got off her and lay down.

"Sleep well with me for a while."

Qi Zhaomian felt the weight on his body disappear, and he felt lost for a moment, but he calmed down the next second because he was hugged tightly by that person again.

"Okay." she agreed.

The morning light fell into the room through the window lattice. Qi Zhaomian breathed in the scent of Lin Shanjuan, and the corners of his lips involuntarily rose.

"I've been working hard these past few months."

Lin Shanjuan threw out a malicious thought: "It's okay, including last night, I didn't feel tired."

last night.

Qi Zhaomian blushed and simply hid in Lin Shanjuan's arms without saying a word.

At this moment, she was not the eldest princess, nor was she Xihe. She was just Qi Zhaomian, the Qi Zhaomian who had just given herself completely to Lin Shanjuan.

Last night was not only the long-delayed consummation of their marriage, but also the fulfillment of her uneasy heart.

What she didn't know was that for Lin Shanjuan, this was the sense of belonging that she had longed for after so many years of wandering.

She wanted to protect Qi Zhaomian. Lin Shanjuan thought, she wanted to stay by Qi Zhaomian's side forever, watching her fall asleep and wake up.

-

He slept until the afternoon and then got up because he felt tired.

Qi Zhaomian had already gotten up and was probably in the study. She didn't disturb him and went straight out the back door to the Qingzheng Division.

Qi Zhen and Bai Shu had been waiting for the whole morning. Seeing Lin Shan coming over, they hurried over excitedly:

"Boss, should we go and search the mansions of those officials now?"

Lin Shanjuan nodded. With the Qing government decree in her hand, she was the walking imperial power. In addition, with the account book in her hand, it was ironclad evidence. It was useless for these people to deny it.

In the game between Qi Zhaomian and Ji Shihan, the strength of the two was one-sided at the beginning, but later Qi Zhaomian managed to turn the situation around a little.

When he first arrived, the court was still divided. However, the Wuyan Town salt theft case had already cost Ji Shihan all his salt business savings over the years.

In addition, after interrogating him about the military funds theft case, Ye Xi learned that he was also working for Ji Shihan. Now that the military funds have been recovered, he has also lost a lot of military funds. As a result, his strength has been reduced by 10%, making it 50-50.

Most of the literati in the court were students of Qin Wenxiang, who was in turn Ji Shihan’s man. So it could be said that Qin Wenxiang was Ji Shihan’s arm representing “civil officials”.

Now that not only Qin Wenxiang has fallen, but his students are also being investigated and confiscated, Ji Shihan's influence among the civil servants in the court will be completely eliminated and replaced by his own people, and the court situation will be completely tilted.

In this way, it is divided into 64 and 65.

So, who is the general on Ji Shihan's side? I have to go back and ask Qi Zhaomian to find out.

If you want to knock down a big tree, how can you completely remove it without cutting off its roots first?

That afternoon, several people started to check the people in the account book again and again. It took several days before they finally got first-hand evidence.

Afterwards, Lin Shanjuan led his men in a lightning attack, not giving anyone time to react, and arrested all the officials in Beijing involved in the account book.

The prison of the Qingzhengsi could no longer hold so many people, so they had to borrow the prison of the Dali Temple to detain them temporarily.

Lin Shanjuan walked around the prison and saw Qisi sitting silently on the ground.

She walked up to Qisi, who raised his head to look at her, then turned his head away after a moment.

Lin Shanjuan still admired him very much, because after she came here, she had seen too many killers, but only Qisi was worthy of the title of "killer".

"If you are willing to identify Ji Shihan, I can let you go." She offered.

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone around felt that they had been hinted at, and the atmosphere became as lively as an elementary school classroom.

"Boss Lin! Me! I can report it!"

"Director Lin! I hold a high position and know a lot! Just ask me!"

"Don't listen to them! Lin Si, you should ask me!"

Lin Shan frowned in annoyance at the clamor, but Qi Si shook his head: "I will not betray my master."

Lin Shanjuan sneered: "Do you know what the most important rule for a killer is?"

Qisi didn't say anything, and Lin Shanjuan squatted down.

"Just to stay alive."

Qisi looked at her in surprise. Lin Shanjuan's eyes, filled with the dim light of the prison, seemed even more unfathomable.

"The mission, the master, are nothing more than a means of making a living. No treasure in this world is enough to buy your life."

The corners of Qisi's lips twitched, but he said nothing.
