Without paying any attention to Yuan Ergou's hair standing on end, Zhang San handed over the work at hand to Gu Xuanyan and then turned his attention to Yuan Ergou.

"Don't be nervous. We are colleagues from now on. I just want to chat with you casually to improve our relationship, right?"

"Sir, you are joking!"

“It’s a nice day today.”

[Yuan Ergou: Are you blind? It's raining right now, please don't be so abrupt in your opening remarks, how can I respond?]

Although he felt helpless inside, considering the huge gap in strength between the two sides, Yuan Ergou could only choose to swallow his anger in the face of Zhang San's attitude.

"Yes...yes, the weather is...nice!"

After making that decision, Yuan Ergou naturally knew why Zhang San wanted to chat with him.

To be honest, before the truth was revealed, he had thought of fighting to the death, but no matter how much mental preparation he had made before, the moment he saw Zhang San, all his determination turned into deep powerlessness.

Zhang San did not point out Yuan Ergou's concerns. On the contrary, after seeing his fearful expression, Zhang San's originally furious mood calmed down.

Zhang San is a man who cannot tolerate any sand in his eyes. He has a complete set of methods to deal with traitors. No matter how talented the other party is, once he is unworthy of his position, he will be subjected to Zhang San's bloody purge.

Fortunately, Yuan Ergou is not hopeless nowadays!

“To be honest, before I became a distinguished person in Taiping County, I was just a carpenter in Yuyang Village, and my experience was very limited.

If it weren't for my wife's careful teaching, I might not even know what a strange person is. Due to my thirst for knowledge, whenever I encounter something I don't understand, I always can't help but ask others for advice.

So, when the entire Taiping County, and even the skies over the entire Zhenjiang Prefecture, were blocked and even carrier pigeons could not communicate accurately, how did you contact Dou Su?

Speaking out loud also opened my eyes!"

Before Zhang San opened his mouth, Yuan Ergou thought that the other party had something on him. It was not that he was too cautious, but after working with Zhang San for a while, he found that Zhang San's logical thinking ability was too terrifying.

He was afraid that a mistake he made accidentally would lead to a series of inferences from the other party, but if it was just the above problem, then there was no need for him to be so nervous.

Maybe this time it really is just small talk.

"I wonder if you have ever heard of a monster like Qingji?"

When he heard the name Qingji, just like everyone here, Zhang San first thought of the classical Chinese killer who was famous for "Yao Li Ci Ji" throughout the ages.

After all, who hasn’t learned “Tang Ju Fulfilled His Mission”?

However, when he heard the suffix of "monster", Zhang San naturally ruled out this possibility, and with the help of the memory palace, a new concept soon emerged in his mind.

"According to the Guanzi: Water and Land, a person who has been dry for hundreds of years but whose valleys and waters have not dried up gave birth to Qingji. Qingji looks like a human, four inches tall, wearing a yellow robe, a yellow crown, and a yellow hat. He rides a pony and likes to gallop fast. If you call him by his name, he can make it return a thousand miles in one day. This is the spirit of the dry marsh! Are you talking about this Qingji?"

[Yuan Ergou: Tell me, this guy is a carpenter. This is a lie!]

"My Lord, you are very knowledgeable. The small grave next to it is Qingji's. Moreover, this Qingji was raised by Zen Master Fayan during his lifetime. Because Qingji's killing power is very limited and his character is kind to others, according to the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty, raising Qingji is not considered colluding with the demon clan."

Seeing Zhang San's slightly puzzled expression, fearing that he would mistakenly think that he was in contact with the demon clan, after pointing out Qingji's tomb, Yuan Ergou also hurriedly presented the Jin law to prove his innocence.

But this time he obviously misunderstood, because Zhang San's puzzled eyes were not directed at him.

Resentment is condensed in the oil-paper umbrella, and clear eyes are wet under the lilac flowers.

As if afraid that Zhang San would get wet in the rain, even though Zhang San had been pacing constantly before, there was always an oil-paper umbrella decorated with ink marks above his head.

Perhaps because she was afraid of disturbing Zhang San's work, Gu Xuanyan had never spoken a word before. When Zhang San was in high spirits, she was willing to be a foil.

But when he feels difficult, she will become his most solid support.

“Qingji likes to run fast, and can be used to deliver mail, but this is not its real ability.

Calling its name, it will return a thousand miles in a day, just like a magical power that transcends cause and effect. No matter what twists and turns there are ahead, or what traps and formations there are, they cannot stop its steps. At that moment, it will be one of the top five masters of escape armor in the world. "

It seemed that he was shocked by the ability of this little monster. After hearing Gu Xuanyan's explanation, Zhang San was unable to recover for a long time.

Although Yingtian Prefecture is far from Zhenjiang Prefecture, it is not thousands of miles apart. In this way, Yuan Ergou did not lie. However, is such a strong escape armor effect really that easy to achieve?

"it……"

"That's right, just as you thought. Each Qingji can only use his magical power once in his lifetime. Rather than saying that this little monster died in battle, it's better to say that he died of exhaustion!"

Gu Xuanyan stopped talking here. Before this, she was considered a veteran in the business world. It was a pity that after meeting Zhang San, Gu Xuanyan became sentimental.

Under the influence of the melancholy here, whenever she thought of Qingji's past, her originally cold voice would reveal a little choking.

After realizing this, Zhang San did not make things difficult for her, especially after confirming Yuan Ergou's purity. Zhang San could chat alone the next few days.

Turning around slowly and holding the umbrella handle for Gu Xuanyan in the look of disbelief, Zhang San then spoke.

"Such a temperament is really eye-opening. Old Yuan, do you know how people behave when they lie?"

After serving Zhang San for the past few days, Yuan Ergou finally got used to Zhang San's jumping thoughts. Although he still seemed a little awkward when dealing with him, it was much better than before.

"Uh, nervousness, rapid heartbeat, erratic eyes, unclear language logic, and even stuttering if the thoughts are not sufficient."

As a veteran who has been promoted from the front line, Yuan Ergou's professional qualities are very worthy of recognition. After hearing his words, even Zhang San was full of praise.

"Yes, the summary is very accurate, but do you know that the key points you mentioned are exactly the same as your behavior after leaving the government office?"

“…”

"What's the last name of the courtesan named Lian Meng? You know, with my authority, it's not that difficult to find her, but I still hope you can tell me in person, do you understand what I mean?"

"L…Lee!"

"Old Yuan, we are colleagues. Don't blame me for not giving you a chance. I don't care where she went. I will only give you three days. If you don't see her after three days, you two will probably become a pair of miserable mandarin ducks on the run!"
