The food shortage in Shenzhou did not cause the slightest disturbance in Jinxia City.
What gives people confidence is not propaganda slogans, but the actual fresh fish coming in boat after boat. Whenever you go to the dock, you can see flat ice ships loading and unloading goods - the fish in one cold storage warehouse can feed everyone in Jinxia City for several days, and there are more than ten such warehouses beside the yard, and Still under construction.
With the proficiency and improvement of fishing technology, the two tree boats can fish five or six times a day, even at night, and the production of marine fish can be said to be rising steadily. Now every time the tree boat returns to the east coast to unload its cargo, it has become a unique attraction in Jinxia City. Whether it's foreign businessmen or immigrants who come here because of the reputation, they will come outside the east city gate to enjoy the spectacular scene of these two island-like tree boats carrying fish.
The anti-espionage work of the General Affairs Bureau is also going very smoothly - unlike towns such as Anshen and Baihe, the reputation of the General Affairs Bureau can be said to be infinitely high in the hearts of Jinxia people. In addition, the saying that one city can save the people of the whole state has spread, and the people It can be said that I am extremely disgusted with this approach of the Privy Council. Seizing power and usurping the throne may be too far away from everyone, but this scheme of burning food, exploding mines, and sabotage only harms ordinary people, and it can easily arouse everyone's resonance, so they spare no effort in tracking down the spies.
As long as any secret agent reveals his or her flaws or shows his intention to win over others, there is a high probability that he will be reported to the Secret Service. It is not that no one has tried to replicate the conspiracy of the Baisha Mine, taking action against the new machinery bureau, salt field and granary, but they have basically failed in the planning and acquisition stage, and in vain have added a lot of coolies to the mine.
Coupled with the interruption of contact with Liuzhou, it is difficult for the spies who infiltrated to join forces, so most people choose to lurk and rely on street news and Shenjin weekly reports.
This is reflected in the report of the General Affairs Bureau as the number of cases involving spies is decreasing, and it has dropped to zero in the past week.
Without the interrogators who needed to use illusions to investigate, Li's life became much more leisurely. Her injuries had recovered half a month ago. Whenever she was not studying, she would ask Shanhui and Xue Qing to wander around the city. Not only to find suspicious faces, but also to continue to practice his great cause of fishing law enforcement.
However, Li soon discovered that the gains from this action were now almost nil. If there were still a few people who were full of prejudice against demons before, Chi's appearance almost broke down this last barrier with overwhelming force.
The dragon girl happens to have the dual attributes of a monster and a holy beast, and is naturally capable of restraining prejudice. If it is a prejudice to say that monsters are evil spirits, then why not not mean that the dragon symbolizes auspicious omen
These two completely opposite prejudices bridged the gap, and the concert at the New Year Ceremony made Chi famous in one fell swoop. Now whenever she appears on the street, she will attract everyone's glances and greetings, and she has become the new darling of Jinxia people. This influence not only made her popular, but also benefited other monsters.
Just because Chi is the rumored true dragon.
Even Li felt a bit sincerely envious of this.
When he wandered around for several days with no results, the fox demon suddenly realized that the seemingly impossible promise Xia Fan made in Qingshan Town had quietly become a reality.
She can walk around all day with her ears and tail exposed without being judged or scolded. Not only her, but also Shanhui and Nagi Qing - even if everyone has never seen Aoki's horns, at most they only looked at her curiously, and no one would scream and run away, let alone throw stones at her.
Xue Qing even lamented that her life in Jinxia City was easier than some towns on Yamahai Island. After all, in places where the power of the great witch could not reach, Dongsheng's hostile attitude towards demons had gradually affected the views of the people.
Just when Li thought Jinxia City no longer needed her to stand up as a target and rectify the demon's name, an accident broke the peace of the past. The three of them walked through the south city wall that was being demolished as usual, and when they approached the newly constructed residential area, a little girl caught up with them panting and handed a roll of paper to Li.
The fox demon took it curiously and said, "For me?"
The latter nodded vigorously.
Li opened the scroll and his expression became condensed.
I saw a short sentence written on it: "Please help me!"
"What happened?" Xue Qing asked keenly.
Li handed the note to the green-faced ghost and asked the little girl, "Who gave you this?"
"An uncle. He said he wanted to give it to the sister with long ears." She replied in a clear and precise manner. "He also said that the person asking for help is in the warehouse in the southwest corner."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go and save people!" Shanhui said as he took big steps - wandering around in the past few days was not as fulfilling as before the winter. Now that something finally happened, he suddenly felt full of energy.
However, before taking two steps, Tengu backed up the same way, because he saw that the other two people were not moving at all.
"What do you think?" Li Wang looked at Xue Qing.
The latter pondered for a while, "Is it a trap? If the person asking for help is familiar with you, that would make sense. Otherwise, how could this person know that you are nearby and send the request for help if he is locked up in the warehouse? Leave it to you? Besides, asking for help is not a shady matter, and I can’t think of the need for the other party to go to the little girl to hand it over."
"It is indeed full of loopholes." Li agreed, "The question is whether the person who lured us there is someone with malicious intentions towards the demon, or a secret agent from the Privy Council."
"What are you going to do?" Xue Qing asked.
"Of course, I'll take it head-on." She said without hesitation, "I want to see what tricks these people can do."
Of the two answers, Li prefers the former, because no matter how stupid the Privy Council is, they will not set up such a clumsy trap.
"As expected of Mr. Li!" Shan Hui clenched his fist, "Let me go to the warehouse to investigate first!"
"No, you stay outside." Li refused decisively, "If something unexpected happens, you can still report it to everyone - after all, no one can run faster than you."
As we approached the southwest corner of the construction site, there were obviously fewer people around. Although this area is part of the Jinxia City New Area Plan, it is not the focus of construction now. At the same time, it is far away from the old city wall and is considered a suburban area. If you want to choose a remote place to do it, this is indeed a good choice.
But this is the same for Li.
Even if she transforms into a giant fox form, not many people will notice.
After confirming that there were no abnormalities around the warehouse, Li pushed open the half-open wooden door and walked into the warehouse where building materials were stacked.
There was only one man standing inside, and he seemed to be waiting for her arrival.
Judging from his posture, he was neither tied nor beaten. In other words, there was no way to save his life.
So this person is the instigator
Li was about to ask, but unexpectedly the other party took off his hat first and bowed deeply to her, "I finally see you, Lord Linghu."
