Chapter 455 [The dead ghost is finally back]

The villagers of Yeli Village strongly support the Zhaoping Marquis family who led them out of poverty and into prosperity. They have regarded the Xin family as the leaders of the south coast of Haizhou Island. They also firmly believe that the exile of Zhaoping Marquis and others was unjust, and they are dissatisfied with Emperor Qingning who persecuted the Zhaoping Marquis family.

They were very afraid that the dog emperor would send assassins to attack the Xin family, so they would pay more attention to anything related to the Zhaoping Marquis' family.

Among all the fishermen who came to the "Shelter" on the south bank of Haizhou Island to rest, when a stranger asked about the whereabouts of Zhaoping Hou's family, the villagers immediately became alert.

The martial arts school opened by Marquis Zhaoping is hidden in the mountains, and the main campus of Wanyi Academy run by the wife of Marquis Zhaoping has also been moved to the mountains. Rong Sheng, the science genius in Jiang Lili's class, usually teaches modern knowledge in the mountains, and the small village at the foot of the mountain is for outsiders to see.

Now the villagers of Yeli Village are very cooperative in keeping the secret. They know very well that wealth should not be exposed. If the people in the imperial court knew that these small islanders were living a comfortable life, they would send people to collect taxes and take advantage of them, and replace the incompetent county governor Hu Chen, which would be a headache.

As for the villagers from the nearby fishing village who refused to cooperate, they had already been taken to the mountains.

Chen Fulan recounted the whole story to Jiang Lili: "The villagers, following our instructions, told the unfamiliar fishermen that less than three months after being exiled to Haizhou Island, the Marquis of Zhaoping and his two sons encountered a storm at sea and never returned."

"Three days later, fishermen who went out to sea brought back three drowned bodies. They had been soaked beyond recognition by the seawater. One of them was completely black, as if poisoned."

"I leave my wife, daughter-in-law and grandson to depend on each other."

"The villagers kept watch on the fishermen until they left and reported their every move to us."

Jiang Lili understood that this statement could not only deal with Emperor Qingning, but also provide room for them to return to Dasheng later.

The three of them talked as they went up the mountain towards Lishan Garden.

After a year of upgrading, their residence in the mountains is now comparable in scale to a royal garden, and has a more natural atmosphere than the mansions in the capital.

Mountains, rocks, flowing water, lush vegetation are all sourced from local resources and create their own unique scenery.

On the way to Lishan, you will pass by Wanyi Academy.

A familiar yet unfamiliar male voice called out to Jiang Lili: "You bastard! You finally decided to come back!"

Jiang Lili looked back and saw a burly man with wild and deep features holding a little girl in his arms. His bulging arm muscles were covered with large dragon and tiger tattoos, and his fierce facial features inexplicably revealed an aura of a nerd that was inconsistent with his appearance. He also had a pink Minnie bow headband on his head, which looked very funny.

Jiang Lili was stunned on the spot. What kind of girlish heart is this with a macho body?

"Fuck, scumbag, don't you recognize me?"

"I, Rong Shen!"

Seeing Jiang Lili looking at him with a confused look, Rong Shen immediately became resentful and threw the "Elementary School Mathematics" textbook in his hand at Jiang Lili: "You all went out to conquer the world, leaving me in the village to herd cattle and teach!"

Jiang Lili caught the flying textbook with both hands and peeked out from behind the book: "How could I forget you!"

"You're the pirate boss, the science genius of Class 447, a hardworking gardener, and a great disseminator of knowledge! Salute you!"

——"I've told you so many times, I'm weak in one subject, don't try to talk to me about English!"

The bow headband on Rong Shen's head was so angry that it was bent.

At this moment, the little girl Rong Shen was holding looked up and asked, "Teacher Rong, is it true that you used to be a pirate leader?"

Rong Shen's rough and bold voice immediately turned into the clipped tone of coaxing a child: "Of course not!"

"This sister means that Teacher Rong is a pirate who can control the ocean of knowledge. His level is very high!"

The little girl nodded thoughtfully.

"Will you continue telling the story of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse in class tomorrow?"

Rong Shen adjusted the bow headband on his head: "Yes!"

Jiang Lili silently gave Rong Shen a thumbs up, worthy of being the gold medal mathematics lecturer of the education and training institution.

Chen Fulan watched the interaction between Jiang Lili and Teacher Rong, with a smile in her eyes, and warmly invited: "Teacher Rong, let's have dinner together today! You old friends haven't seen each other for a long time."

Moreover, Xin Yan has some doubts about his chemistry knowledge, so it's a good opportunity for Teacher Rong to give him some extra lessons.

Rong Shen readily agreed to have a free meal.

Arriving at Lishan, Jiang Lili looked at the greatly transformed manor and marveled at her second brother Xin Cheng's hands-on skills. He was indeed a master craftsman!

The houses and landscapes are well-arranged, the roads are interconnected, and the chickens and dogs can be heard from each other. It is simply a paradise.

Rong Shen introduced Jiang Lili familiarly.

"That courtyard with the bluestone swimming pool is Wen Qiao's courtyard, where Su Sanniang lives with Wen Xiaomei."

"That's Master Liao's cabin. It's been empty since his mother Yin Zhen was taken to Nanzhao. I'd bring my pirate brothers over from time to time to weed and do some other things."

"There are still some open spaces reserved for other students in the class."

"Over there, that simple, wooden, two-story house is my home. Come visit us when you have time! If you're free, you can help me write the final exam questions. Hey, Li Li, I remember you're good at math, too!"

The real purpose is revealed!

Jiang Lili laughed helplessly: "Okay, okay!"

When they arrived at the courtyard of Marquis Zhaoping and his wife, Xin Chong and his wife, and Xin Cheng had already prepared food for Jiang Lili and the others.

"Li Li is back~"

As soon as they saw Jiang Lili, Marquis Zhaoping and his wife couldn't stop smiling.

Yang Wanyi, the wife of Marquis Zhaoping, took Jiang Lili's hand and looked at her carefully several times before she was satisfied: "You finally look less frail. Mother can rest assured now."

She couldn't help but say, "Xin Che, that brat, hasn't come back yet! He really needs a lesson. How could he let Li Li go back alone?"

Marquis Zhaoping shook his head. "This fool, in the midst of battle, he's forgotten why he's fighting! When he comes back, I'll punish him according to family law!"

When talking about Xin Che, Jiang Lili's smile showed a hint of melancholy.

Chen Fulan quickly said to Jiang Lili, "Sister-in-law, Xin Cheng has added a lot of new equipment to your and Big Brother's yard. They are all based on your textbooks!"

"You must take a good look at it when you get back, it's quite interesting!"

Jiang Lili's eyes lit up: "Really? Thank you for your concern, second brother!"

Xin Cheng said modestly, "I learned this from your textbooks. The workmanship is a bit rough, please don't mind, sister-in-law."

"Don't be so modest, second brother! Your mechanical skills have been a great help to the organization of our modern society!"

Jiang Lili couldn't help but praise: "It's so great that the confidentiality is at the highest level!"

These lost mechanical techniques, combined with modern high technology, are definitely powerful tools for defense and attack!
