Chapter 191: Aren’t You Asking About My New Function?
Lu Xinran sat in Pei's room, his eyes still full of disbelief.
How does that sentence go? Oh, it’s New Year’s Day!
The emperor was so cruel that he didn't let his favorite minister have a good New Year~
"Why is it so sudden? Wasn't everything fine before?"
She still remembered the viciousness in Cai's eyes and Sun Linyuan's arrogance.
Pei looked at her in confusion, and after a long while she finally found an excuse: "The Dragon Scale Guards found out that Sun Linyuan had hidden private soldiers in Jinzhou."
"Oh, oh, no wonder."
[The efficiency of the Dragon Scale Guards is really poor. Those private soldiers have been secretly training for many years, but they have only just been discovered. ]
Pei wanted to say that if it weren't for her voice and system, the efficiency of the Dragon Scale Guard would be even worse.
All the government offices were in a state of panic throughout the New Year, especially those who had been close to the Sun family in the past. They were in great torment during this period.
All members of the Sun family were sent to prison. Without them to interfere, Song Junyan, who was anxious to get to work, closed Sun Qihang's case on the tenth day of the New Year.
However, it was not convenient to kill so many people in the first month of the year, so the execution was scheduled for the second month.
If the Ministry of Justice had acted more efficiently, he could have gone on the journey with his entire family.
Lu Xinran asked Cuizhu to go to the streets to find out what was going on every day. On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the system finally couldn't hold back any longer.
"Host, don't you care what new features I have after this upgrade?"
Lu Xinran paused while chewing the fruit. "If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten about this. Didn't you level up twice? So, can you eat the fruit at any distance?"
The excitement in the system's voice disappeared instantly, and it kept grunting for a while before saying something dissatisfied.
"You know it's impossible, so why do you keep asking so much?"
Lu Xinran was speechless, "You have to have dreams!"
If that comes true, she can just sit in the room and eat all the gossip in the world.
"Tell me what additional functions have been added. If the distance is increased to thirty steps, then there is no need to tell me."
The system inexplicably felt that it was being criticized again, "This time it's fifty steps."
Lu Xinran rolled his eyes. Fifty steps... are not even enough for the length of the square in front of the Fengtian Temple!
"Is this the only change after two levels?"
"No, no, after your health reaches ten years, you can unlock a function that allows you to save the booklet for three days, but you can only save three people's booklets at a time."
This is a nice feature!
Lu Xinran's eyes lit up. If this function had been available before, she would have been able to bring back the gossip about the Sun family that she had not had time to read and read it slowly.
"Isn't this feature good? Once you have accumulated twenty years of life value, you can save five people for seven days."
The system's big cake was not drawn very skillfully, which made Lu Xinran inexplicably have the urge to mess it up.
"Whenever I see that person, will the booklet appear and it won't disappear?"
"This," the system said uncertainly, "will probably take a hundred or a hundred and twenty years. Once your health is full, you should be able to unlock everything."
"All right."
Having a goal is better than having nothing at all.
It’s only fifty steps, she silently calculated the distance to the front yard. Doesn’t that mean she will be able to see Lu Jinchuan’s booklet in Pei’s courtyard in the future?
Thinking about how the old scumbag actually wanted to marry her to his grandson's family, she felt that from today on, she should take a look every day to see what the old scumbag did that day!
Lu Xinlan, who was doing the accounting, Zhao, who was worried about her son's marriage, Pei, who was thinking about how to support her granddaughter, and Kong, who was talking to her children, all heard this voice at this moment.
Lu Xinlan and Pei, who were experienced, realized almost instantly that the fact that they could hear Lu Xinran's thoughts from such a distance must be because her system had been upgraded again.
Zhao shuddered, feeling that she would have even less privacy in front of that damn girl in the future.
Kong was not worried about these things. She...she was afraid that her love conversation with Lu Kangping and the things that happened in bed would be seen by that girl.
After Lu Xinran found that the new features of the system upgrade were still very useful, he was looking forward to going out.
But she turned this New Year upside down on the first day of the new year. All the mansions that had originally planned to hold banquets cancelled them and found excuses to send servants to explain to each mansion.
Without anyone to invite him to a banquet, Lu Xinran would feel frustrated that he has many talents but cannot display them.
She had been feeling depressed for a few days, but was cured by Lu Xinlan's words.
"In two days it will be the Lantern Festival. The lantern festival in Beijing is always the most lively. Let's go to the street and take a good look."
"good!"
Very good!
In the novels she had read before, the Lantern Festival was the day when accidents were most likely to happen!
She would then find a teahouse and sit by the window. She would be able to finish the melon within fifty steps.
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. When Lu Xinlan heard the three words "fifty steps", she immediately understood.
At this distance... the emperor is probably going to become even more numb.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Jinchuan, together with people from the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple, arrived at the government office and began to work overtime to deal with the matter of Sun Linyuan raising private soldiers.
All the money he had embezzled and the evil deeds he had done had to be listed one by one and handed over to the emperor's desk.
The names of people that Lu Xinran mentioned in his heart were also sorted out in a booklet.
How to deal with those people who were captured by Sun Linyuan needs to be decided by the emperor.
They are not stubborn historians and do not need to engage in impassioned debates. They just need to do their job well.
Lu Jinchuan was very servile and upgraded Lu Xinran's system again. This time, he told the emperor that the effective distance of the system was fifty steps away.
The emperor only nodded slightly woodenly. If he wanted to use her ability, he would have to accept the tragic fact that he would have to pay the price with his own affairs in bed.
"February 4th, let's do it this day."
The emperor pondered for a long time and finally picked such a date.
Lu Jinchuan should have left on the fourth day of the second lunar month, and the entire Sun family could only live until the fourth day of the second lunar month.
He suddenly felt a lot of emotion in his heart. Desire is good, but if it expands too much, it will only lead to disaster.
With Lu Xinran's presence, the special day of the fourth day of the second lunar month had already spread throughout the capital before the Lantern Festival.
First, she saw the conversation between Lu Jinchuan and the emperor in Lu Jinchuan's booklet, and then Kong and others heard her chattering voice.
Kong was worried about her parents, so she secretly sent someone to send a letter back to the Kong family.
Then her mother was worried about her family members, so she spread the news from one person to another, from two people to three people, and from three people to everyone else. Within two days, everyone knew that Sun's family members could only live until the fourth day of the second lunar month.
Lu Jinchuan: “…”
emperor:"……"
So, if things continue like this, will there still be any secrets in this capital city?
~~~
Previously, I wanted to upgrade the system so that the heroine could read gossips at will, but this would make some things inconsistent, and some of the previous logic would be overturned, such as the emperor being jealous and not being able to take her into the harem, so after thinking about it, I decided to make the system seem a bit useless~
