"Of course, as a reward I can write you a letter of recommendation first."
Looking at Lu Qiuzhi, Gu Jiu nodded slowly.
Lu Qiuzhi was very fast and had everything ready in less than ten minutes.
"You can come and go freely with this."
Gu Jiu took it and opened it.
Lu Qiuzhi was a little shocked and asked, "Are you literate?"
"Yes, but not much."
"That's pretty good too."
Gu Jiu nodded and read the words on the paper carefully, completely unaware that Lu Wensheng's eyes looked at her with a hint of playfulness. Like a poisonous snake in the fog, it spits out slender, cold snakes and waits for its prey to take the bait.
Gu Jiu looked at the seal at the bottom of the letter and couldn't help but feel filled with emotion. She could imitate these handwritings, but this chapter was the real deal.
"Then thank you first, Mr. Lu. If there is nothing else, I won't bother you further."
After reading and confirming that it was correct, Gu Jiu said. Lu Qiuzhi nodded and sent her out personally.
"Did you get it?" After coming out, Ling Yang stepped forward and asked.
Gu Jiu nodded, then suddenly shook his head: "I got Xiaojing's."
"The one you just saw was from my previous village. He was a nice person. I originally wanted to help him get it together. But the other party offered to bring him ten days worth of dinner."
"Dinner?" Ling Yang frowned and thought, "Is it because you gave him the money and he didn't want to ask for it?"
"It's possible, but I always feel like there's something strange about it, but I can't put my finger on it."
"Maybe you are too nervous?" Ling Yang comforted: "Mr. Lu Qiuzhi's reputation is still very good. The dignitaries in Jingchangkou will have some negative information more or less, but this Mr. Lu Qiuzhi is Never before.”
Gu Jiu nodded.
But these words did not make Gu Jiu let go of his worries. Instead, when he thought of the system's words, his uneasiness became more obvious.
Why has there been no movement in the system for so long? Lu Qiuzhi dropped a "bomb" as soon as he appeared!
But he was doubtful. After going back and briefly explaining the situation to Gu Cheng, Gu Jiu still planned to help him get a letter of recommendation. After all, he still had a "mission" to do, so it would be better to have more contact with him.
…
"I heard that you are looking for me everywhere to apologize to me?" Early in the morning, Gu Zheqi led a dozen people to the outside of "Jiuyang Bookstore" in a show of force.
Gu Jiu: "...I'm sorry. Now that you've apologized, let's go."
"Master, I'm not satisfied yet! Say it again!"
Gu Jiu looked at Gu Zheqi speechlessly. How could he be so unlucky and have such relatives?
"Gu Zheqi, I promised to apologize to you, but I never said I would satisfy you!"
Gu Zheqi looked at the classmates next to him, stepped forward and whispered: "Don't think I don't know how much money you took from the Shi family! Do you believe it or not? I'll let you spit it out again!"
"Do not believe."
Pushing Gu Zheqi away, Gu Jiu continued: "The lady gave me more than ten taels of silver that day, so I reluctantly agreed to say those three words. Now, if you want something else, just pay for it!"
"Judging from your temperament, it would be a waste of time to satisfy you. I'll give you twenty taels of gold by giving you a fracture!"
"How much?" Gu Zheqi was stunned when he heard this: "You are crazy about money! Give me back the gold!"
Gu Jiu covered his ears and turned back to the shop: "As a seller of 'Jiuyang Bookstore', the only service I provide is selling books. If you want other services, you will naturally have to pay more! Don't worry about having too many people to cause trouble. After all, I can call the thugs from that day over now."
Before entering the door, Gu Jiu stopped, turned around and asked, "I heard that your mother is crazy, is it true?"
Originally, Gu Jiu just wanted to check if Gu Zheqi had returned to the village, but he didn't expect that after hearing these words, Gu Zheqi's eyes immediately became panicked. After scolding him for being crazy, he hurriedly turned around and pulled his classmates away.
"Brother Gu, didn't you mean..."
"This man has a brain problem. He might bite someone later. Let's leave quickly!"
Gu Jiu: ...This is no business! Gu Jiu immediately stopped everyone!
"Guys, our store just released a new brochure today, do you want to take a look?"
"Get off.
Before Gu Zheqi could say anything, he was stared back by Gu Jiu. His eyes seemed to say, if you don't cooperate, I won't be able to stop you. Just like that, half-heartedly, all twelve people went into the shop and bought the booklet. Among them, Gu Zheqi spent the most.
"see you next time."
After seeing people off, Gu Jiu counted the money in a good mood. No wonder there is a saying: Strong people never complain about the environment. I used to be annoyed that Gu Zhe had many things to do, but now it seems that I didn't take advantage of them!
If something like this happens every once in a while, then my income will not be doubled!
In the evening, Gu Jiu went to the restaurant to buy food at the agreed time and went to the entrance of Jingchang. With the certificate given by Lu Qiuzhi, he easily entered the gate, but... the guard's eyes were strange, even stranger than the way he looked at her when he first came. .
How should I put it, it's a bit like looking at an injured baby rabbit with nowhere to escape next to a lit campfire.
"Come on, come on, sit down quickly, I can have a good meal today."
The door opened, and Lu Qiuzhi enthusiastically invited Gu Jiu in.
Because of the guard's eyes just now, Gu Jiu was tense now, fearing that something might happen if he missed something, so he subconsciously rejected Lu Qiuzhi's request.
"Mr. Lu, I have something to do at home today and are waiting for me to go back. I won't go in today."
Lu Qiuzhi sighed and nodded: "Okay, let's wait until we meet tomorrow to talk. This girl is very literate. I will show you some good things tomorrow."
"Hey, okay."
When he went out, Gu Jiu paid special attention to the eyes of the two people: surprised and confused.
But what are you wondering about?
After returning with questions, Gu Jiu went to see the madam. The madam was not surprised when he saw her, but seemed to have predicted her return.
"Do you know Lu Qiuzhi?" Gu Jiu asked straight to the point.
The madam nodded.
Gu Jiu then asked: "Then is he what he shows?"
Hearing this, the madam smiled meaningfully, and then asked: "What is the appearance? Different people will see different sides of things, and what side you can see depends entirely on where you are. What kind of identity.”
What kind of identity?
"What do you want to say..." Gu Jiu didn't finish his sentence, but was interrupted by the Madam raising her hand.
"It's not easy for Lu Qiuzhi to know his identity. If you want to know the specific things, you have to check it yourself."
…
In the next two days, Gu Jiu did not find any negative information about Lu Qiuzhi. Just as Ling Yang once said, the dignitaries at Jingchangkou would have more or less negative information, but this Lu Qiuzhi did not. Not at all.
Gu Jiu sat on the side of the road angrily with the vegetable basket, rejecting Lu Qiuzhi's invitation for two days in a row. She had to go in and sit down no matter what today, but... she always felt that there was something wrong with Lu Qiuzhi, and the unknown danger made her She was in an extremely passive situation.
"The system will play the current time for you. The current time is five minutes, twenty-nine minutes and forty-three seconds."
Gu Jiu: ...You couldn't see anyone month after month. What's going on now? Broadcast six or seven times a day? It’s annoying to begin with. Do you think you are free every day? Or are you trying to hint at something?
At the end, Gu Jiu was stunned and began to recall what the system had said to her from the beginning to now.
I thought about it twice and didn't find anything wrong. Every time it appears, it announces the next mission without saying anything else!
No, a little!
When the system said that the host could use the money earned to make equivalent transactions with the system, she asked what could be traded, and the system's answer was a secret. At the time, she thought the system was joking, so she didn't take it to heart. Now it seems that it may mean that unknown secrets can be exchanged.
"System, how much money do I need to let me know Lu Qiuzhi's true identity?"
"A host request has been detected and the system will analyze it for you. Please wait patiently for three seconds."
Hearing the sound of the system, Gu Jiu's eyes immediately lit up, it was really possible! But the next second I stopped laughing.
"Two hundred taels of silver."
The system's voice sounded like a machine without emotion, which made Gu Jiu's heart freeze.
"I haven't had much time since I came to the city. I have just saved two hundred or so taels through frugality and living frugally. Are you going to leave with just one word?"
"Why are you silent again? Also, since you want me to trade with you, you said before, what's the use of always telling the time? Who can understand your hint?"
After two seconds of silence, the system explained: "Since the system knows the past of all characters, in order to ensure absolute fairness, it is forbidden to chat with the host, interfere with the host's behavior, or give hints to the host."
Gu Jiu: Then how did you get these two hundred taels?
"value."
Gu Jiu: We have known each other for so long, so we are considered old acquaintances, so let’s give it a discount.
"..." After the system was silent for two seconds, it continued: "The information provided will also be discounted equally."
Gu Jiu: You have a system and you don’t have to worry about food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Why do you need so much money?
"Host, you should know that you love money. If you didn't have this, you wouldn't be chosen. So, you should know that I also like those things. As for the purpose, I can't tell you for the time being."
Gu Jiu sighed helplessly and looked up at the sky. She would have to leave for the entrance of the mirror field in fifteen minutes at most.
"Fine."
Then, Gu Jiu watched helplessly as the money in his space disappeared one by one.
Gu Jiu: You better really provide some useful information, otherwise I will really want to kill you.
"That's so embarrassing. This system has no entity, and the host cannot terminate my consciousness. Next, I will exchange it for the host. The following will be the true face of Lu Qiuzhi. Please listen carefully. If you miss it, you need to repeat it. pay again."
"Lu Qiuzhi, forty-eight years old, a gentleman from Summit Academy. Sexually hypocritical, honor-oriented, and a serious pedophile. In his forty-eight years of life, he molested a total of 137 people."
"The above are all the answers to the host's questions. I look forward to your next transaction."
Gu Jiu: Forty-nine words - two hundred taels, no more than five minutes!
When Gu Jiu heard the word pedophile, he realized what the discomfort he felt before was going on. Lu Qiuzhi was good at disguising himself. Coupled with Ling Yang's previous words and the results of his own investigation, Gu Jiu felt something was wrong and subconsciously felt that it might not be Lu Qiuzhi's problem, thus ignoring the nature of the problem.
But if you think about it carefully, everything has already been hinted at. Whether it was the guards or the questions he asked when they first met, which seemed like small talk but actually inquired about his personal details, his true colors were revealed.
Two hundred taels, just a little short of that and two hundred taels are gone!
Gu Jiu suddenly felt that he was stupider than Gu Zheqi. As he walked towards the entrance of the mirror field, he comforted himself with "the authorities are obsessed with it".
"Xiao Jiu, I knew it was you as soon as I heard the noise! Are you okay today? My uncle has polished the ink for you, so you have to come in and take a look!"
"good."
Gu Jiu nodded and walked in with his rice. Looking around the yard, which didn't even have any firewood, Gu Jiu said, "How do you prepare breakfast and lunch, uncle? Do you buy them from restaurants outside?"
"Yes, uncle lives here alone all year round and doesn't know how to cook."
"Don't your relatives come to see you?"
Lu Qiuzhi shook his head: "Uncle is not married."
Perhaps seeing Gu Jiu's shock, Lu Qiuzhi continued to explain: "Learning is sacred, and uncle has already planned to dedicate his life to it! Xiao Jiu, you stay with uncle today. Uncle has not been so happy for a long time. ”
"Okay." Gu Jiu nodded: "Just go back before half past nine, otherwise my mother will worry about me."
"Okay, okay."
When he arrived at the house, Lu Qiuzhi once again took out the cakes that Gu Jiu had brought out when he first came here.
"Try it, this is uncle's favorite food."
Lu Qiuzhi looked at Gu Jiu and said while setting out the food and wine. Gu Jiu nodded and ate a piece of Lu Qiuzhi's noodles, and then, with Lu Qiuzhi's "sincere" persuasion, he ate with him and drank a glass of wine.
It was probably because his goal was almost achieved, and Lu Qiuzhi's mood was visibly happy from the bottom of his heart.
"You can't tell. He has such a capacity for drinking at such a young age! Come on, have another drink!"
Lu Qiuzhi poured another glass of wine for Gu Jiu with a smile on his face. Gu Jiu saw that the other person wanted to drink him or wait for the medicine in the pastry to take effect, so he took the wine directly without pushing him.
Before she came here, she drank two large bowls of Chinese medicine that could clear away heat and detoxify. A small piece of pastry wouldn't have much effect. As for wine... Haha, Lu Qiuzhi had met her match. She never got drunk after a thousand cups.
