Relying solely on the court is unreliable; one must be like Qi Xiaomian, secretly making money to support the Warriors. Sang Qingxiao reassured, "There's no point in getting angry about this. Your family has managed the Lian Family Army so well; there must be some methods behind the scenes." Although she lowered her voice, there were always sharp-eared listeners around, so it was better to say less.
Lian Baoying muttered softly, "The Court is discussing this matter right now. It comes up every year at the end of the year; it's an old topic, so talking about it isn't a problem."
Sang Qingxiao glanced at the three Female Students in the corner, noticing that their attention had been drawn by the commotion. She then redirected the conversation, "We followed them to a residence on Wood Street. It looked like a narrow door leading to a lavishly decorated household."
Wen Zhaojun perked up at this news, "Why didn't you tell me about this yesterday?"
"You were already so troubled. I didn't want to add to your worries just so you could sleep well. Didn't I mention it before?"
Wen Zhaojun pressed on, "Do you know what kind of place it is?"
"I don't know. There are quite a few guards inside, and their skills are not weak. I didn't want to alert them, so we didn't get too close. When I saw you preparing to head back, I was worried for your safety and decided to retreat."
Lian Baoying was eager to try, "Then I'll sneak in later and take a look."
Li Cu shook his head, "Your skills are good, but there are too many opponents inside for you to handle. It's easy to escape unscathed, but if you alert them, it will be difficult to investigate further."
Lian Baoying looked at Sang Qingxiao and suggested, "Let your Qi Xiaomian check it out. Ever since he joined The Office of Censors, he's been very capable; whatever he does is sure to be thorough."
"I haven't even established a connection with him yet; stop referring to him as if he's part of your family."
"Even if there's no connection yet, there's bound to be some inkling of it. You can't deny that he often eats at your house and brings his father along; anyone can see that. Can your rebuttal really hold water?"
Sang Qingxiao could only respond, "There's no need to trouble him over such small matters. With our abilities combined, we should be able to figure it out ourselves."
Wen Zhaojun said anxiously, "I don't have much ability."
"Your family's connections in the Court are broader than ours. Most officials in the Great Jing Dynasty can generally be said to be your family's students, whether near or far."
"You could borrow a little help; for example, you should be able to find out the homeowner information for that area on Wood Street."
Lian Baoying chimed in eagerly, "What about me? What should I do?"
"Your personality is outgoing and you have good relations with many students. You can subtly inquire among them about how many students frequently go out and compile a list. It would be best if you could find out their reasons for going out privately."
Lian Baoying responded confidently, "That's easy!"
"As for Li Cu and me, let's investigate that residence a few more times."
