This made Li Shimin anxious, and he wanted to trade one for one with me.

Ruyan nodded and said, "Some time ago, he kept coming here to ask me for money. I couldn't give it to him. If I had started this, there would have been no peace."

"That's why I hid myself, not wanting to cause trouble for Leyunlou, or for Cheng Dalang, Cheng Erlang, and Cheng Sanlang."

Seeing her lower her head and sob again, her eyes brimming with tears, Cheng Jun gently comforted her:

"It's all in the past, so there's no need to dwell on it."

Cheng Chuliang chimed in, "That's right. Your younger brother has already been sent to Lingnan by my third brother. He'll settle down there for the rest of his life. You don't need to worry about that anymore."

Ruyan smiled, picked up the wine pot from the tray, filled the three of them with wine, poured herself a cup, and raised it, saying:

"This humble servant toasts to Cheng Dalang, Cheng Erlang, and Cheng Sanlang with one cup."

The three Cheng brothers smiled, raised their glasses at the same time, drank one cup, and then continued eating.

Ruyan sat next to Cheng Jun, pouring him wine while chatting with them.

An hour later, around eight o'clock in the morning, Cheng Jun finished eating and drinking and stood up to stretch his legs. Suddenly, he glanced out the window out of the corner of his eye, and the things he was doing immediately stopped.

Ruyan noticed his unusual behavior and asked, "What's wrong, Sanlang?"

Cheng Jun leaned closer to the window, looked carefully downstairs, and said, "I saw a friend. You guys eat here, I'll go check on him."

After saying that, he turned and left the private room, heading towards the outside of Leyun Tower.

Cheng Chumo immediately became interested, got up and walked to the window, asking, "Who is this?"

Upon seeing the figure standing opposite Leyun Tower, Cheng Chumo chuckled, "Wow, an acquaintance!"

Cheng Chuliang curiously leaned closer and said, "Let me see!"

The next second, he let out a booming laugh: "Hahaha! It really is an acquaintance!"

Ru Yan asked curiously, "Do Cheng Dalang and Cheng Erlang also know Sanlang's friend?"

Cheng Chumo grinned and said, "I know him. We made friends with my third brother yesterday."

At this moment, Cheng Jun strode out of Leyun Tower, saw Wei Yaoguang standing opposite Leyun Tower, looking around, and called out:

"Prefect Wei!"

Wei Yaoguang was taken aback upon hearing this. He looked over and, upon seeing Cheng Jun, exclaimed in surprise, "Imperial Censor Cheng?"

"Why are you here?"

Cheng Jun walked to his side, turned around and pointed to the gate of Leyun Tower, and said with a smile:

"I'm eating upstairs."

"Prefect Wei is also dining at Leyunlou? Why don't you go in?"

Wei Yaoguang quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I'm not here to eat. I'm looking for something."

Cheng Jun asked with a smile, "Let me help you look for what you lost?"

Wei Yaoguang said with a wry smile, "I lost a money pouch."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Jun's eyes narrowed.

"Ok?"

purse?

Why lose your money bag of all things?

"It's not that it's still the blue purse, is it...?" Cheng Jun touched the blue purse he had picked up on his way here and asked without changing his expression.

What color is the purse?

Wei Yaoguang said, "Blue."

Cheng Jun remained silent for a few seconds, feeling increasingly uneasy, and asked again, "How much money was in that money bag?"

Wei Yaoguang said embarrassedly, "It's not much, just a few dozen coins and two small silver ingots."

It actually matches... Cheng Jun took out a blue money pouch from his pocket and handed it to him, saying, "Is this it?"

Wei Yaoguang's expression brightened with joy, "That's it!"

After saying that, he was surprised, "How did my money bag end up with you?"

I also want to know why I ended up finding your purse... Cheng Jun stared at him and said, "I found it at the entrance of the market."

Wei Yaoguang cupped his hands in gratitude and said, "Thanks to Imperial Censor Cheng, I was able to get my money pouch back. Otherwise, I would have been in real trouble."

"It's mainly because you're lucky..." Cheng Jun thought to himself, while also feeling incredulous.

If he hadn't just finished eating and drinking and hadn't stood up to stretch, he wouldn't have glanced out the window.

It was because I glanced out the window that I saw him.

I came down to find him on some inexplicable impulse, and even asked him a question.

Otherwise, Wei Yaoguang's money bag would inevitably have to be asked for by the county government.

Wait, Wannian County Government Office... Cheng Jun suddenly realized something.

That's the money bag. Even if Wei Yaoguang hadn't come out to look for it, it would have returned to him today.

"Could it really be that far-fetched..." Cheng Jun frowned. No matter how skeptical he was before, he couldn't help but become doubtful now.

At this moment, Wei Yaoguang felt a surge of relief.

He was uneasy when he discovered that his purse was missing.

Walk straight to the spot where you were standing just now, opposite Leyun Tower.

The feeling of unease suddenly disappeared.

Based on past experience, at this time, someone will deliver what he wants.

He considered dozens of possibilities for the person who delivered the money pouch, but he truly never expected that it would be Cheng Jun.

"I feel quite connected with him..." Wei Yaoguang thought to himself.

Just then, Cheng Jun's voice came: "Prefect Wei, why is your money pouch in Pingkang Ward?"

Wei Yaoguang explained, "My home is in Pingkangfang. I accidentally dropped it when I went out today."

Cheng Jun suddenly realized, then it wasn't surprising.

"Imperial Censor Cheng, I will remember this favor and repay it in the future! I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave!"

"Take care, Magistrate Wei."

After saying goodbye to Cheng Jun, Wei Yaoguang walked out of Pingkangfang, heading towards the Wannian County Government Office in Xuanyangfang.

Just as he was about to walk out of the gate of Pingkangfang, Wei Yaoguang suddenly felt his heart beating very fast.

This feels like I'm going to be seriously injured... Wei Yaoguang's expression changed slightly, and he looked around warily.

When he is distracted, he needs to stop what he is doing immediately.

Even if you're taking a shower, you have to stop immediately.

If your heart is beating too fast, you need to find a place to hide immediately until your heartbeat stabilizes.

Because a rapid heartbeat means there is danger.

The first time his heart raced, he didn't know why, and stepped into a deep pit, twisting his ankle.

When he had symptoms for the second time, he deliberately ignored them. Soon, someone mistook him for another person and started punching and kicking him.

Over time, Wei Yaoguang realized that he might have the ability to avoid harm.

At this moment, his heart was racing, and as Wei Yaoguang took a step forward, his heart pounded even faster.

He decisively took two steps back and immediately felt his heartbeat calm down.

It seems that the place to take refuge this time is in Pingkangfang... Wei Yaoguang thought to himself, while looking down at his feet and continuing to retreat, retreating without stopping.

He didn't know how many steps he took back, until his heartbeat calmed down before he stopped.

It's safe here...

Wei Yaoguang breathed a sigh of relief, then looked around and was taken aback. This place... it felt so familiar...

"Mr. Wei, you stepped on my shoe."

Just then, Cheng Jun's voice rang out from behind.
