Fairy, I really am a villain!

"How could this happen..."

Such a big thing cannot be faked, so Li Wuji naturally had no doubts.

He took a half step back and subconsciously looked at Fang Xiwen, but found that he looked calm and just shrugged.

Was this also part of his plan?

Although it was said that he went in and out of the Yun Mansion, he looked sullen every time, as if he had been turned away... So it turned out that the Yun family had been won over by him?

"That's how it is, Lord Li."

Sighing, Fang Xiwen stepped forward and said, "If you had read the document I submitted, you wouldn't have mobilized so many troops. To put it bluntly, this matter is just my sister's action to punish the evil, and she has no intention of offending the court."

"You, you clearly arrived at the government office at noon, how could you have the documents?"

"I went to the government office as soon as Fang entered the city last night. I wrote it overnight and have placed it on your desk. You can check it out, sir."

Hearing this, Li Wuji ordered someone to go to the office to get it without saying anything else.

Seeing this, he looked at Luo Wenlong again and said with a smile: "Luo Yinzhang, let your people disperse. This matter has nothing to do with you, why do you have to 'meddle' in other people's business?"

"It is my duty and I dare not ignore it."

Luo Wenlong snorted coldly, and seeing that things would not improve, he took the man away from the yamen and looked at him deeply before leaving.

After his men brought a few official documents from the office, Li Wuji took them and roughly flipped through them, then cleared his throat, "Master Fang is really very meticulous in his work. It is a blessing for our Jin Dynasty to have an official like you."

"Heh," he sneered without answering, then pointed with his finger, "In that case, should we hand over these things that Brother Yichuan has confiscated to the Dali Temple for them to examine?"

"This kind of scandal can be resolved in the government office," Li Wuji said with a wave of his sleeves, "I'll leave this case to you. I order you to record the case files one by one and submit them to me when you are done."

Just as Fang Xiwen said, although Liu Xiwang was a spy, as his colleague, he should also be guilty for failing to discover it in time.

And if the case is handed over to him, in order to protect Fang Qingxiao, he would probably not dare to make accusations everywhere.

"Yes, Sir Li, take care."

When he was about to step out of the door, Li Wuji paused, turned around and said, "As the saying goes, girls grow up and cannot be kept. The daughter of the Fang family is already in her twenties.

Either she devotes herself to cultivation or finds someone to marry. The time to make the decision is in the next few years. As her younger brother, you should also give her advice."

"No trouble."

In fact, Fang Xiwen also knew that the main branch of the Fang family now had three external leaders, which made it stand out among the aristocratic families.

Just like the two choices given by Li Wuji. Either return to the Sword Sect to practice, or find someone to marry, only in this way can the hearts of the people in the family be reassured.

Otherwise, those who come to the alliance will have to consider carefully whether the Fang family will become the next Yang Party.

"Thank you very much for this time,"

When most people had left, he walked over and bowed to Yun Yichuan, "Thanks for your great help."

However, Yun Yichuan dodged to the side and said, "Don't come to thank me."

Without saying anything more, he waved his hand and took the people away. He was the only one left in the yamen with a few large boxes.

What does this mean? Does he want me to go to Xie Yunwuxin?

"You're just passing the buck, aren't you..." Fang Xiwen said with a click of the tongue, his eyes falling on the large boxes. "But this is a great gift for me."

He is not the only one who has a grudge against the Dajiang Gang, there is also a certain petty-minded Saint Lady.

As soon as I thought about it, a familiar panel popped up:

【Head of the Household: In? 】

[Head of the Household: I have good news...]

Chapter 361: The New Year is Coming

Outside the city of Shendu, Jiulong Lake.

As the year draws to an end, the weather is getting colder. Some broken ice has floated on the lake, and the trees on the lakeside are bare.

At first glance, it seemed as if the sky had turned over, with the sky becoming the lake and the ice becoming the clouds, all in a deep blue.

There were many people wearing cloaks floating on the boat. There was a small stove on the bow, where they were warming a pot of wine. They were rubbing their hands and chatting with others.

"The sky and earth are covered with mist, and the cold flowers and jade trees go to the fairyland."

On a covered boat, Fang Xiwen was rowing forward and feeling more interested.

He remembered that when they were far away in Yunzhong City, Fang Qingxiao mentioned that they could play here in the future and comprehend the world; just as the work at hand came to an end, he brought people here to join in the fun.

After reciting a poem, he raised his eyebrows to show off and looked at the two sisters sitting opposite him, "How is it?"

"What are you looking at me for? I don't understand." Fang Qingxiao was very uncooperative.

It is understandable. After all, for these two people, the significance of literacy is only in reading the secret manuals of martial arts, and they don't have the time to indulge in romantic affairs.

However, Li Muyu still clapped his hands in support.

"Sir, I've never heard of this poem before," said Xiaodie, who was fanning the stove at the bow, with bright eyes, "Did you write it yourself?"

"Hehe," Fang Xiwen smiled complacently, "I read it in a miscellaneous book."

"I don't believe it. You must have written it yourself."

"Ha, do you think I can develop such a talent for poetry when I have so many things to do?"

"Writing is a natural skill, and it is something that happens to a talented person," Xiaodie shook her head, "There is no rule that only those who read poetry collections every day can write good poems. Didn't a few scholars come to your house before and ask you for the half poem left over from the literary meeting?"

“Because I also read that in a book.”

Fang Xiwen reached out and said, "Here, give me the hot crab. I'll peel the shell."

"it is good."

Xiaodie handed over a plate with several large river crabs on it. Their shells had been burnt red, and their claws were particularly large, with light yellow juice flowing out.

"Sir, this looks delicious."

"It has been stewed for a long time, so it must be well-seasoned," Fang Xiwen took it in his hand and peeled the shell carefully. "I heard from my subordinates that this kind of crab is usually sent to the palace after being caught, and is not sold.

That means his relative specializes in this business and only sends some at this time of year."

"Wow, this isn't for New Year's gifts, but for bribing the young master. Your men are really willing to spend money like that."

"What bribe? He meant well and I gave him money, okay?" Fang Xiwen freed his hand and knocked on her head, and Xiaodie stuck out her tongue at him.

"Xiwen is so stupid."

Seeing that he was peeling a crab for a long time, Fang Qingxiao frowned and pointed with one finger, and a sharp sword energy shot out.

The sword energy hit the crab directly, and the river crab shook for a moment, then its shell peeled off with a "crackling" sound, revealing the yellow crab meat inside, which smelled delicious.

Holding the crab in one hand, Fang Xiwen turned to look at him angrily. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "How is it?"

"Hmph." He simply dipped the river crab into the sauce and put it into his mouth to eat.

"Aren't you happy to help you?"

"Happy, very happy."

Seeing this, Li Muyu couldn't help but said, "Xiwen originally wanted to peel it for us to eat. He peeled it with his hands out of his heart, but you have to be clever here.

You're not usually that clever."

"It's okay. I can peel them for you to eat." Fang Qingxiao stretched out her fingers again and was about to order all the remaining ones, but they were snatched away in advance by someone.

Holding the plate of river crabs in her arms, Fang Xiwen glared at her and said, "Peeling crabs is also very interesting. Please don't deprive others of their right to happiness."

"Aren't you going to praise me for my good control?"

"Yes, yes, Senior Sister, you are the best in the world, and your skills are unparalleled," Fang Xiwen said perfunctorily, then took out another one and started peeling it, "I am really impressed. You are showing off in front of your family..."

"If you can beat me, I won't show off." Fang Qingxiao snatched the crab he had peeled, "If you can't, just bear with it."

"Alas," Fang Xiwen sighed and turned to another person, "Second sister, can you please be more motivated? Are you just going to watch her bully you like this?"

"At least I beat her a few times. Besides, even if I lose to her, it won't matter. You will be fooled in this way or that way..."

~~

The boat sailed around the lake for a few laps, and the crabs, fish and other things that were brought were almost all eaten.

"Xiwen," Fang Qingxiao stretched out her two greasy hands and shook them, "Help me wipe it."

"Are you three years old?"

Grabbing her wrist, Fang Xiwen took out a handkerchief with a look of disgust.

Looking sideways, the lake view is still vast. It is the most appropriate mood to warm up a pot of good wine and have two plates of broad beans, and then have a few old friends and tell some interesting stories to accompany the wine.

"I've wiped it off."

"Xiwen, I want to wipe it too." Another pair of slender hands stretched out, and Li Muyu smiled.

"Second sister, why are you interfering?" He grabbed her again.

It’s a pity that he doesn’t have many friends and can only take care of these girls like a nanny.

Clapping his hands, Fang Xiwen pointed to a corner and said, "Let's drink tea. Xiaodie, help me divide the tea leaves."

"Good~"

He placed a small table, arranged the tea set, and poured in boiling water.

After everyone had a cup, he thought of something and looked at Li Muyou and said, "Oh, second sister, how are you and your team doing with the raid on Liu Xiwang's house?"

Because Li Wuji had given him full authority to handle the case, he went to find help. And there was no one more suitable than Li Muyu to do such a meticulous job.

"Almost. It's just that there are too many things and I can't convert them all into cash in a short time."

As he spoke, Li Muyu took out a mustard seed bag and pulled out a few account books from it and handed them over.

He flipped through it casually and read out: "About 40,000 taels of silver in cash, and the remaining shops, land deeds, silk goods, etc. can be discounted to more than 50,000 taels. In other words, Liu Xiwang alone has nearly 100,000 taels of silver in his name..."

By now, Fang Xiwen finally understood why so many large boxes were found.

"Is one hundred thousand taels a lot?" Fang Qingxiao asked, puffing out air while holding a teacup. She was used to drinking cold tea.

"Let's put it this way. For an ordinary farmer's family, the total expenses for a year are only seven or eight taels of silver, including buying cloth for winter clothing and other miscellaneous matters," Fang Xiwen shook his head, "this amount of money is a lot."

He couldn't tell how much of this money was obtained by Liu Xiang by exploiting the people of Jiangzhou, and how much of it was obtained by taking bribes as an official in Beijing. He just felt it was somewhat shocking.
