Seeing his worried face, Jiang Yao didn't know what to say, so she put her hand on his shoulder and comforted him.

"Don't worry. With them, it will be much easier for me to deal with them. Just wait and see."

"Really?" Young Master Ji was stunned.

"Yeah." Jiang Yao looked at Liu Jue, a hint of pride on her lips, as if she was sure of victory.

"Can you see how I've suffered a loss? Last time, I ruined their reputation with the incident at your inn. Now that I'm in trouble, how can I let it go?"

"You should understand that I am not lying. God has eyes, and I have brains."

This sounds very direct, but Jiang Yao is not the kind of person who will be easily taken advantage of.

Realizing this, Liu Jian's tension was finally relieved.

However, the matter has not been resolved yet, and he is still a little worried about Jiang Yao.

Three days passed in a flash, and Jiang Yao was brought to the hall again.

As soon as she came in, she felt countless gazes, like sharp blades stabbing her face.

Fortunately, she has never been a coward. Not only can she deal with it calmly, but she also has an elegant smile on her face, making it difficult for people to understand what she is thinking.

As soon as County Magistrate Guo finished speaking, Old Lady Jiang burst into tears as if someone had massaged her.

"Please, Lord County Master, do us justice. This bitch named Jiang Yao stole my family's secret book from the very beginning. We all saw it, so we didn't pursue it at first!"

"But not only do they sell goods here, they also stabbed our boss in the back, causing our boss to lose his store. What else can we do?"

"You don't understand. I came to their place this time just to get a book. That bitch even threatened me, saying that if I come again, she will sneak into my house and stab me to death with a sword!"

"I am like her grandmother. Even she is so vicious. If people around her provoke her, won't they be in trouble?"

"Please ask the county lord to do us justice. We must make that bitch return our Lao Zhang's martial arts secret book, and then put her in jail!"

Last time, Jiang Yao didn't say anything just to see what they were up to. Now that the truth is clear, she can't just stand there and endure getting beaten.

Without waiting for County Magistrate Guo to speak, she followed Mrs. Jiang's suggestion and asked a question in return.

"Since you mentioned the Jiang family's secret method, you must be very familiar with this secret method. Can you describe it so that I can be convinced?"

Old Mrs. Jiang did not feel guilty about Jiang Yao's question because she had been waiting for Jiang Yao to speak.

When she returned home that day, the first thing she did was ask Jiang Xuean to draw a cover for her, which is now in her body.

So when Old Mrs. Jiang was speaking, she took out the cover that Jiang Xuean had drawn that day.

"Everyone, please look, this is the cover of Jiang's house."

Jiang Yao looked at the paper in Old Lady Jiang's hand and had to admit that her poor father, although his performance in the imperial examinations was average, was a master in painting.

At the very least, the Q-version hot pot she drew has been imitated almost perfectly by her. If she shows this book to everyone again, nine out of ten people will believe what Mrs. Jiang said.

She did read out the other few words on the note in full view of everyone.

Confucius said: "Virtue is the foundation, benevolence is the foundation, and technique is the foundation."

"Confucius said that a gentleman does not get angry if he does not get angry. If we stand in one corner and not in the other, we will never have a chance again."

……

As more people read on, more and more people discovered something was wrong.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, the high and mighty prefect immediately became anxious and shouted to stop Jiang Yao.

"Jiang Yao, you are so bold that you dare to use the court's words to evade us? Hurry up and grab that book!"

After hearing his order, several guards rushed over and snatched Jiang Yao's books.

But Jiang Yao didn't need them to argue. She took a step forward and handed the book in her hand to County Magistrate Guo, and a bright smile suddenly broke out on her face.

"County Master, you must take a closer look to see if this is something that was passed down from our Jiang family. If so, I have nothing to say. If not..."

"They have been slandering my family for several days and spreading rumors everywhere, ruining my reputation and making it impossible for me to run my business. I ask the prefect to seek justice for my family, just as you seek justice for them."

As Jiang Yao spoke, she winked at Liu Jue, and County Magistrate Guo looked as if someone had swallowed shit.

After all, he had been in the officialdom for so long. Seeing Jiang Yao acting so confident and even using Liu Jue to threaten him, he knew that this was definitely not the Jiang family's martial arts.

But there were so many people watching in the yamen at that moment, no matter how greedy he was, he dared not break the rules. He could only take out the book in full view of everyone.

After all, you can't guarantee that the people around you know someone more powerful.

In this world, there are many people who pretend to be weak.

The more he turned the pages, the greener the magistrate's face became. In the end, he even banged the gavel in his hand hard.

"How dare you say that the Dao Canon is the Jiang family's treasure. Come, drag him down and give each of you twenty strokes of the cane!"

This sudden change caught the Jiang family off guard. Before they could even cry out, they were grabbed by the bailiffs.

Just as Old Lady Jiang was about to tell the prefect about her deal with him, the prefect was startled by this scene and quickly gestured to the bailiff who had captured Old Lady Jiang.

The man understood and stuffed it into Mrs. Jiang's mouth at lightning speed.

The angry county magistrate almost threw the book in his hand.

But considering that "The Analects" is the "Book of Sages", if he threw the book on the ground to vent his anger, I'm afraid the whole county would be surrounded by a group of jealous scholars.

So he had to stop attacking and turned to look at Jiang Yao with a half-smile on his face.

"Jiang Yao, I will do you justice. This is all a frame-up by them. You have done nothing wrong. Now take that booklet and go home."

Seeing him looking at her, Jiang Yao's smile widened.

However, just when everyone thought Jiang Yao was going to take the book, she suddenly burst into tears, looking as if she had suffered a great injustice.

"Your Excellency, when they sued me, I had to pay compensation. Now my property has suffered heavy losses because of them."
