Chapter 151 Climbing Over the Wall

"Third Master, your guess is correct. The people of the Fang family did have contact with people in Shengjing, but we are not sure whether they were the Crown Prince or the Second Prince's men." Guo Yang stood in front of Jun Lie and spoke in a low voice, so low that only Jun Lie could hear it.

"Well, keep watching. We must find out where the weapons in Gouguling are hidden. It would be best if we have evidence." Jun Lie's lips curled slightly. "Ever since I started collecting herbs for the Queen Mother, my two brothers have been paying more attention to me. I must make them think that I am collecting herbs in the mountains every day."

"Don't worry, Third Master. Our people are leading them in circles." Guo Yang replied.

Jun Lie nodded slightly. After arranging the important matters, he asked, "The Fang family can't be moved for the time being. What about County Magistrate Cheng? Try to find some evidence of his crimes. Ideally, it will prevent him from taking revenge on the Xiao family."

Guo Yang paused and asked, "Third Master, if we touch County Magistrate Cheng, won't we be exposed?" At the beginning, Third Master just sent someone to warn him. If County Magistrate Cheng was touched, and Third Master was in Hongdu at this critical juncture, wouldn't he be exposed?

"What if it was the Xiao family who did it?" Jun Lie leaned back in his chair.

…

"Third brother, I'm back!" Xiao Jiayuan's clear voice rang out as he trotted into the house. When he saw Jun Lie, he politely bowed and said, "Third brother, the teacher praised my calligraphy yesterday!"

Xiao Jiayuan's face flushed red as he looked at Jun Lie excitedly. He had been instructed by Jun Lie yesterday and it seemed that his handwriting had improved again.

Jun Lie looked at his excited eyes, which were warm and sincere. His mood also improved a lot and he said, "Let me see."

Xiao Jiayuan excitedly handed over the calligraphy that the teacher had corrected, saying, "Third brother, look, Mr. Jiang is very knowledgeable and his handwriting is beautiful."

"It's really good." Jun Lie took a look. Even with just the simple words "keep working hard", he could tell that Mr. Jiang had put a lot of hard work into this handwriting.

"My teacher heard about the method my third brother taught me, and he has been praising my third brother for his talent." Xiao Jiayuan pursed his lips, still unable to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth. He is not very talented in writing, but if he studies hard every day, one day, he will get better and better.

"Oh?" Jun Lie raised an eyebrow and asked, "How did your husband praise you?"

Xiao Jiayuan had a good memory and repeated Mr. Jiang's words word for word, saying, "Mr. Jiang said that only by knowing one's shortcomings and striving to make progress can one make progress."

"Well, your teacher is quite learned." Jun Lie asked, "Is this Mr. Jiang a scholar?"

"Yes, it's a pity that the teacher has bad luck and never gets a chance to take the provincial examination." Xiao Jiayuan pursed his lips and spoke up for his teacher, saying, "Two years ago, the teacher had excellent grades, but he offended someone and didn't even have a chance to take the exam."

Jun Lie patted his shoulder, looked at him with an aggrieved expression and said, "If your master is truly talented, he will naturally not be buried."

"Third brother, can you let the teacher take the exam?" Xiao Jiayuan's eyes lit up a little.

Xiao Jiayuan was young after all, and his thoughts were all reflected on his face. He didn't need others to guess. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "As long as your husband is really talented, he will be able to show it one day."

"Oh." Xiao Jiayuan's eyes were filled with visible disappointment. Jun Lie asked, "Why, do you think your master has no talent?"

"Yes." Xiao Jiayuan's eyes were firm and he answered without thinking.

"That's all right, your husband won't be trapped here forever." Jun Lie said encouragingly. The originally lost little guy suddenly became extremely excited again. He said, "By the way, I have something to tell you. I want you to tell your sister."

"Jiayuan, is this really what the Third Master said?" Xiao Jiuyue was stunned when he heard what Xiao Jiayuan brought back. Isn't this like giving someone a pillow when they are sleepy?

Jun Lie actually asked her, what kind of person can become a good county magistrate who speaks up for the people?

"Sister, the teachers all praised me for my good memory and photographic memory. How could I be wrong?" Xiao Jiayuan pursed his lips. He had already confirmed it with his sister, but his sister still felt it was a lie.

"Sister, when I become a county magistrate in the future, I will definitely help the people." Xiao Jiayuan's words made Xiao Jiuyue look at him with complicated eyes. This silly boy probably thought that those people who became county magistrates would not think about helping the people at all, but only think about how to make some money from the people!

Xiao Jiuyue didn't discourage his enthusiasm and asked, "Then how are you going to help the people?"

"Hmm..." Xiao Jiayuan tilted his head. He still didn't know how to help the people.

"Answer me when you grow up." Xiao Jiuyue gave the reserved snacks to Xiao Jiayuan and sent him away. She pondered Jun Lie's thoughts carefully in the room. After thinking for a long time, she was still not sure about Jun Lie's intentions, so she simply got up and walked out.

"Miss, where are you going?" Lianxin had just finished her snack and quickly stood up and followed.

"No need to follow me, I'll just walk around here." Xiao Jiuyue said, and sent Lianxin away. She went straight to the front yard. The doors of the front and back yards were locked at this time. Xiao Jiuyue glanced at the high wall. It shouldn't be a problem for her to climb over her own wall, right?

Xiao Jiuyue was light and flipped over in an instant. It was already late at night and there was no one around. Xiao Jiuyue walked all the way to Jun Lie's window without any obstruction.

Jun Lie was sitting by the window sipping tea, and was not surprised at all when he saw Xiao Jiuyue.

Xiao Jiuyue patted her clothes and jumped onto the window to sit. There was no one around, and Guo Sheng, who usually chattered around Jun Lie, was nowhere to be seen. She asked curiously, "You, did you know I would come?"

"The people who hurt you are the Cheng family and the Fang family. If you have the chance, I think you definitely don't want the Cheng family to continue to be the county magistrate of Lancang County." Jun Lie's voice was cold. He poured her a cup of tea. She sat on the windowsill with her back against the window. The moonlight and candlelight sprinkled on her face, softening her face.

Xiao Jiuyue climbed through the window and entered the room, sitting opposite Jun Lie. She took a sip of her wine and said, "So, are the people chasing you also related to the Cheng family?"

"Yes and no." Jun Lie's gaze fell on the jade gourd on Xiao Jiuyue's waist. His calm eyes revealed a hint of excitement.

"County Magistrate Cheng has been able to hold the position of magistrate in Lancang County for so many years, so he must have some background. I wonder how Third Master can bring him down?"

Xiao Jiuyue's voice was soft and tender. Everyone called him "Third Master", but when it came out of Xiao Jiuyue's mouth, it sounded so charming and charming. Jun Lie tightened his grip on the cup and took out the account book he had prepared long ago and handed it forward.

"Account book?" Xiao Jiuyue's eyes lit up as he looked at the account book. He opened it and saw that it clearly recorded how much bribes County Magistrate Cheng had received and how much disaster relief money he had embezzled over the years!
