Fairy, I really have control over you!

Gu Zhinan reminded softly.

"It's been so many years. I can't seem to remember how to eat it."

Fairy Pei's eyes turned red, she shook her head, and her tone was softer than ever before.

"Of course, I lick the sugar shell on the surface first. It's made of sucrose and honey. It's really delicious."

Gu Zhinan also picked up a string of candied haws and demonstrated patiently.

The scholar was seen eating with gusto.

Fairy Pei's expression was also moved. After hesitating for a moment, she slightly opened her lips, stuck out her bright and tender tongue, and tentatively touched the huge string of sugar with the tip of her tongue.

As the sweetness spreads across the tip of your tongue.

In an instant, it was like an electric shock.

She seemed to have regained the happy memories of her childhood!

next moment.

Fairy Pei, who is detached from the world, has flushed cheeks and narrowed her beautiful eyes in a daze. She puts the candied haws directly to her red lips, and licks the sugar coating back and forth alternately with her rosy lips and sweet tongue!

Gu Zhinan was stunned.

She is really good at licking.

Eating a candied haws can actually give you an FBI warning!

Mr. Gu, who had already reached the state of "no horse in his mind" in his previous life, cleverly replaced the string of candied haws.

The urgency of being promoted to the eighth rank and activating the magic of Mirror Flower and Water Moon is still increasing!

The two returned to the inn across the street from the county government office.

At this moment, it is exactly three quarters past noon.

"I like candied haws very much."

"You can prepare more along the way."

After the two of them stood still, Fairy Pei spoke the first sentence.

"okay."

Gu Zhinan nodded, but his eyes looked towards the entrance of the county government office.

At this moment, on both sides of the stone lions at the gate, a group of ragged, skinny people had already lined up in a long queue.

Next to the team stood a group of yamen runners dressed in neat black clothes and with strong backs, maintaining order.

It forms a sharp and ironic contrast.

"Wow, wow, wow, wow, my son is so miserable! I beg the county magistrate to help my son!"

Just then, the wailing of a heartbroken old woman was heard.

Everyone followed the sound.

Then I saw an old woman, who was about 80 years old, limping to the gate with a cane.

The old woman had sparse silver hair that was blown to dishevel by the wind. She looked extremely haggard and looked angry. She kept crying and mumbling all the way.

Seeing the pitiful look of the old woman, even Fairy Pei, who usually had a blank expression on her face, couldn't help but be moved.

“This old woman is.”

"Yes, she is the one we are waiting for, and she is also the one who holds the treasure."

Gu Zhinan walked straight up to her and called softly to the old woman, "Old Lady Wang."

The old woman was crying and complaining to the people queuing nearby.

When she heard someone calling her "old lady", she was slightly startled.

Then, he turned around tremblingly and looked at the young scholar in front of him with an extraordinary appearance: "Sir, are you calling me?"

"of course."

Gu Zhinan said: "In the entire Qingtian County, everyone knows that you are the mistress of the Wang family, the first martial arts school in the county, the "Divine Fist Sect."

"Alas, it's all in the past. It's so unfair! I have nothing now."

The old woman wiped away her tears, then walked forward with an excited look: "Sir, my family is in such a pity! My only child was killed by the villain, and my daughter-in-law was also -"

"Alright, alright! Madam, these young men know!"

Gu Zhinan quickly signaled to stop.

It’s really not that Mr. Gu lacks compassion!

The main thing is that this old lady talks too much, and she repeats the same few sentences over and over again, telling them to everyone she meets!

If the player meets her ten times in Qingtian County, he will hear her say the same thing ten times!

The key is not to skip using CTRL!

Pure torture.

"Well, you give me the complaint, and I guarantee that I will give your family justice today." Gu Zhinan said bluntly.

The old woman was stunned for a long while, like a drowning person grabbing a floating log, tears welled up in her eyes, and she almost knelt down: "Really? Sir, you really didn't lie to me? Sir, you are so kind, if you can really redress my son's injustice, I will definitely reward you with a treasure! Please, sir--"

After interrupting the old lady's recitation for the second time, Gu Zhinan snatched the petition from her hand and was about to sound the drum.

A voice suddenly came from behind:

"Young people can't do that!"

"Ok?"

Gu Zhinan turned around and saw a bearded man dressed as a hunter walking out of the queue.

The hunter pulled the scholar away from the old lady and said earnestly, "Young man, don't ask for trouble. Everyone present knows who murdered the head of the Wang family. There is nothing we can do! The murderer Zhou Keke is now living in this county government office! Do you know who his backer is? Will it be useful to report to the police?"

Tsk, this uncle is quite nice.

Gu Zhinan looked back at Fairy Pei who was resting with her eyes closed, and smiled, "It's okay, I also have a backer, and my backer is harder and thicker."

Done.

He looked at the skinny people who lined up in a long line and looked like refugees: "Uncle, what are you doing? Are you collecting relief food?"

Every time you come to Qingtian County Yamen in the game, you can always see people queuing up in long queues.

Although he was puzzled, he rarely went up to have a conversation with them. Instead, he might as well raise his perspective and take a look at the scenery under the fairies' skirts.

But now, this is a real world that is closely related to me, and it is not a bad thing to know more information.

"Relief grain? That's true, but we are just distributing it to the court."

A thin young man in a mandarin jacket nearby sneered.

As soon as he finished speaking, he was immediately stopped by his old father behind him: "You are dying!"

The hunter uncle cleared his throat and said, "Young master, you are from another place, right? These days, the people of Qingtian County are offering "monster-suppressing donations"."

"What donation?" Gu Zhinan frowned slightly.

An old man with a white beard beside him continued, "In recent years, evil demons have appeared frequently in our county. Babies and women in the city have repeatedly disappeared, and people are in a panic. The surrounding demon suppression guards are as good as dead, and they don't care at all!"

"Yes."

The hunter nodded and continued, "There is no other way. Our county magistrate has formed a demon-suppressing team to patrol the county day and night to capture demons."

Gu Zhinan was both angry and amused when he heard this: "So, your donations are used to support the county magistrate's private army to suppress demons? How interesting! You should at least first find out what kind of monsters and demons this army you are helping him to support is made up of, right?"

"Hey! Little brother, stop talking nonsense!"

Seeing several yamen runners surrounding them, the hunter quickly shouted, "The county magistrate is right! The Demon Suppression Division did nothing, but he stepped forward to protect us! We will never be able to repay his kindness in three lifetimes! What is this little donation?!"

"Not bad!"

Someone nearby immediately echoed, "In the past two years, as long as we raised the charity funds on time, those evil monsters immediately dared not show up. This shows that the demon-suppressing team under the command of the county magistrate is full of strong people. How can a kid like you question it!"

"Humph, you despicable outsider! You have ulterior motives!"

"Maybe it's a demon!"

Looking at the indignant expressions of the crowd.

Gu Zhinan smiled but did not say: "The reason why the demons do not show up is because these demons are from the county magistrate's family."

Pointless.

If he really is the fourth Master Gu who is broad-minded, trustworthy and righteous, just like Mengchangjun, I'm afraid he will really do something.

"You don't have to worry too much. Dynasties change, time passes, and the people are always the easiest to be fooled."

The white-clothed female sword fairy beside her crossed her arms and watched coldly the whole time. In the end, she couldn't help but console him: "It's human nature."

"Quite the opposite."

Gu Zhinan shook his head, his pair of gentle jade-like eyes firmly looking at the fairy in white in front of him: "The people have sharp eyes. They know who is good to them and who is oppressing them."

"Is this what they call understanding?" Fairy Pei frowned slightly.

"Fairy, I want to make a bet with you."

"Oh, tell me about it."

Gu Zhinan leaned close to the female boss's snow-white earlobe and whispered something.

"Okay, no matter what you want to bet on, I'll bet with you!" Fairy Pei's eyes were proud, she even felt that she was the winner at this moment.

"Hey! That's what the fairy said!"

Gu Zhinan's heart was filled with emotion, and his mind instantly switched to an incredible MVP settlement scene.

"call out--"

The bronze mirror on the chest emits a brilliant golden light!

"You have received the side quest [The Fourth Master Gu has arrived, and Qingtian will be restored]: eliminate all evil spirits and save the people of Qingtian."

"Mission Reward: Experience Points: 300."
