Chapter 424 Meddlesome
Qi Zhenzhen seemed reluctant to mention her father's name. She was a little embarrassed, but she couldn't help but explain the tragic massacre of the village that was always in her mind.
"Actually, my father is the prefect of Lingcheng County, Qi Shimu, with an official rank of up to fourth rank."
"So you believe me, he will definitely be able to uphold justice!"
After hearing these words, Su Lin just smiled lightly and said, "Huh."
"I don't believe it. I don't think your father will help me. He will choose to protect his own interests."
Officials protect each other, this has been the case since ancient times, what's more, the officials in Lingcheng County have nothing to do with the case in Lanzhou County.
What's more, the murderer's official position is not low.
How could Qi Zhenzhen's father rashly offend his colleagues in the officialdom just for a man who had never met him before and had no evidence?
Qi Zhenzhen was stunned by Su Lin's words. She did not expect Su Lin to say this. After all, she had always believed that her father was an upright official.
But she is just new to the world! I don’t understand the dangers of this world.
Seeing Qi Zhenzhen's expression, Su Lin couldn't bear it, but he still said firmly: "Miss Qi, I'm not saying that your father is not upright, but the officialdom is too complicated. Sometimes even upright officials It’s inevitable that you will be forced to make concessions.”
"I just hope you don't have your hopes too high, lest you be disappointed."
Qi Zhenzhen was silent for a while, and finally nodded to express understanding.
Although the two of them had not been in contact for a long time, she found that Su Lin was a special person who was worthy of trust, so what she just said was the truth.
But she still hoped that her father could help, "Thank you for telling me this, but if not, what else can we do?"
Su Lin shook his head, stretched out his right hand, and clenched his fist.
He didn't say anything, but his meaning was already obvious.
This surprised Qi Zhenzhen. She felt that Su Lin was crazy. Did he want to go against the government on his own?
But she didn't ask. Sulin seemed to have a strong self-confidence, and this power even affected herself.
There is still a long way to go from Lingcheng County, which gives Sulin enough time to improve his strength.
"Last time I dealt with that bear and tiger, I didn't get any system reward? Isn't it feasible to repeat the challenge?"
Su Lin realized this.
Along the way, I found some different beasts and gained a lot.
"Congratulations to the host, congratulations to the host for receiving 20 times the spiritual energy empowerment!"
In an instant, Su Lin felt that his body had undergone earth-shaking changes. The aura of the acquired warrior continued to strengthen, and his dantian was also heating up.
It seems that the spiritual energy there is going to be full.
"Are you going to advance to Foundation Establishment and directly enter the path of cultivation?"
Su Lin was very excited. After all, it had only been a few days since he came to this world. With this speed of ascension, it might not be long before he could complete the ultimate challenge.
"Host, congratulations on your promotion to the peak state of acquired warrior. You are only one step away from successfully building the foundation."
"Collect five plants each of Black Ice Grass and Fire Dragon Grass, absorb them and refine them through water and fire to enhance the host's body."
"But where do we start?" Su Lin had a headache. He had never heard of any of the spiritual herbs listed in the system.
"The host can look for some medicinal materials in the market or the medicinal materials are picked up by merchants, or they can also get them by going to places of opportunity." The system explained.
Su Lin nodded, thinking to himself, the medicinal materials market in this world should also be very complicated, right?
I guess it’s a mixed bag and needs to be studied carefully.
"By the way, what is this place of opportunity?"
"Places of opportunity refer to some mysterious places or some ancient ruins. There may be some precious medicinal materials, treasures, techniques, etc. in them, but there are also dangers."
Su Lin thought that this place of opportunity sounded more dangerous, so he might as well try his luck at the medicinal materials market in Lanzhou County.
Qi Zhenzhen, who was on the side, heard Su Lin talking to himself, and his face was full of confusion: "Benefactor, are you going to the medicinal materials market?"
"I know that Lanzhou County is the largest medicinal material production place in the North, and the county has the largest medicinal material market."
"If you are looking for rare medicinal herbs, my father has an old friend who does business here. Maybe you can ask him for help."
Su Lin couldn't help but smile after hearing this. Can this spiritual herb used for body training be the same as ordinary herbs in the human world?
But he still accepted Qi Zhenzhen's help: "That would be great. Please help me contact him."
Qi Zhenzhen has been to Lanzhou many times and is very familiar with the city's environment. Just like a tour guide, he happily introduces it to Su Lin.
But he looked around absentmindedly, hoping to find a suitable place to sell all the animal skins on his body.
Only in this way can I have enough money to buy spiritual grass, which must be very expensive.
Suddenly, there was a noise in front of me. When I concentrated my attention, I realized that it was someone from the Yamen beating a small vendor.
Qi Zhenzhen's sense of justice immediately came up, "Humph, there are so many of them bullying an old man!"
Su Lin smiled and said nothing.
This is a market, and the people in the yamen are obviously managers, similar to urban management.
Five or six of them all had knives on their waists, and they were full of menace, and they spoke of being unruly to the people.
"You guys, you haven't paid the stall fee and you want to set up a stall here? I'll consider you lucky if I smash your stuff today!"
"Next time you let us see you, we'll break your hands and feet!"
The old man knelt on the ground and cried: "Master, just let me go around this time. My wife has an emergency and needs money to save her life!"
The people in the yamen looked indifferent, "What the hell do you care about me? You are an old man, but you are still a burden to live!"
"Hurry up, go back, prepare a handful of money, and hand it over to the Yamen. Don't bring trouble to yourself."
The old man collapsed immediately. Where did he find this small amount of money? He stood up and raised the pole beside him: "You hateful guys, I will fight with you!"
The people from the Yamen immediately drew their swords and said, "Damn old man, are you looking for death?"
When Qi Zhenzhen saw this situation, she immediately became anxious. She knew Su Lin's skills and quickly took his hand, "Hurry up and help the old man."
Su Lin was unmoved. It was not that he was cold-blooded, but that his current strength was enough to fight against one of the three major forces in the North.
Unexpectedly, at this time, "Congratulations to the host for obtaining the nosy system function. You can enhance your sense of justice through nosy, and you can receive rewards when you reach a certain coefficient."
"The reward for the next stage is a hundred sense of justice, which can be exchanged for ten fire dragon grass plants."
Su Lin was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that such a good thing could happen. He could not only uphold justice, but also obtain half of the materials used for body training.
If you don't do this, you'd be a fool.
"This old man is already pitiful, but you still persecute him like this. I think you are also a bunch of dog officials!"
