Wang Yaoxing was still thinking about the past troubles, but when Zhou Jinran stared at him like that, he instantly forgot about it and gave Zhou Jinran a cold look.

"Of course, you are still young now, don't worry about these things, I will let your aunts help you in the future."

Wang Yaoxing said this in a very serious manner. If you ignore the gloating in his tone, his words sound like a brother caring for his sister.

As a result, Zhou Jinran became even more curious about what his aunt and the others had done to make his brother so terrified.

However, she could ask the sign-in system privately about this matter. If she asked her brother, she would definitely not get any results.

Maybe it would make him angry, and now she still needs someone to carry her things and pay her.

Wang Yaoxing didn’t know that Zhou Jinran was cheating, but even if he didn’t say it, Zhou Jinran would know it.

So now that he saw his sister didn't ask any more questions, he felt relieved and leisurely gave money to Zhou Jinran.

Seeing his brother's clueless look, Zhou Jinran raised the corner of his mouth and happily threw himself into shopping.

Wang Yaoming and the others didn't know that Zhou Jinran and the others had already solved the potato issue, and started buying things like crazy.

They were also getting the necessary supplies while inquiring about news around them.

After all, when they set off later, they would not have to pass through the Nan Ze city, but would go directly to their destination via a small road.

According to regulations, they needed to go to Nan Ze City, after all, they needed to conduct inspection and handover there.

But now that their identities have changed, there are not so many restrictions. When the time comes, only Xiao Jiang and the others will need to go.

So now we can learn more about the situation there so that we can better integrate into it.

At this time, Xiao Jiang and others did not buy supplies like they did before. After all, their mission would be completed once the supplies were delivered.

When we returned, each person had only one horse and two bags.

Therefore, Xiao Jiangzheng, who did not need to purchase supplies, took his men to investigate the relevant information of the officials in Nanling.

They did not ask people of status directly, but went directly to the lower class people, especially beggars and street urchins.

Although these people are usually inconspicuous, they have the most and most diverse information.

As long as the benefits are great enough, they will be able to say things that will satisfy Xiao Jiang and others.

As for why Xiao Jiang and his men did this, the other yamen runners didn't know, but Xiao Jiang knew it.

It was Zhou Jinran who told him these things, but when Zhou Jinran told him at the time, he just let him choose whether to do it or not.

Zhou Jinran gave the name, and although he didn't mention the details, he didn't leave out any important things.

At this moment, Xiao Jiang, who was watching his men recording what the street urchin said, was far less calm in his heart than he looked on the surface.

His subordinates thought that he did these things because he was instructed by his superiors when he left Beijing, and that he should use the escort of the exiles to find out information.

So they have been very cooperative and haven't said anything nonsense.

But only Xiao Jiang himself knows why he did this.

When Zhou Jinran told him these things, he didn't believe it at first. After all, he always knew that Zhou Jinran and his sister had never left the capital.

How could he know about Nanling and Nanze? It was only because he believed in the deceased Zhou Hao that he didn't think Zhou Jinran was talking nonsense.

He thought that the young master of the Wang family asked Zhou Jinran to convey this message. After all, he already knew that the Wang family planned to move to Nanze in the future.

It would be a good thing if we could deal with the corrupt officials who have done so many bad things in Nanling and Nanze before moving in.

Therefore, after arriving in Nanling, Xiao Jiang, who had accepted the good news, began to investigate these matters with his subordinates.

After all, those officials have not heard the news yet, although the capital sends people over for assessment every year.

But there is no guarantee that officials will protect each other, so it is normal that the court does not know about this.

Moreover, the assessments in Nanling and Nanze are basically conducted in July and August every year.

At this time of year, there won't be many people coming, and now that the New Year is approaching, people are more likely to relax, which makes it easier for Xiao Jiang to act.

So, the yamen runners thought that this was instructed by the emperor, while Xiao Jiang thought that it was the Wang family who said it through Zhou Jinran's mouth. The two sides cooperated perfectly, and after half a day, they had already recorded a lot of events.

Although they were not able to directly grasp the evidence of the major events that Zhou Jinran mentioned, these were enough.

After all, according to Xiao Jiang's understanding of the emperor, there was no need for those major events. These alone were enough to make those officials return to the capital to do hard labor.

As for the reason why the emperor would ask him to do this, Xiao Jiang thought for a moment and realized that he just came to Nanling and accidentally heard someone complaining to nowhere, so he wanted to be a good person.

Anyway, he is not plotting a rebellion, nor does he seek high official position, fame or wealth. As long as Zhou Jinran and others are not implicated, the wise and powerful emperor will not investigate further. After all, the emperor only looks at the results.

The Nanling officials who were enjoying themselves did not know that what awaited them the following year would be endless hard labor.

Unfortunately, they are still living a life of drunkenness and dreams. Who would take the small officials escorting the exile team seriously?

The Jiang family is even busier than Xiao Jiang and his friends. The closer the other exiles are to Nan Ze, the happier they are, but it is different for the Jiang family.

As they got closer and closer to Nan Ze, they felt a mixture of sadness and joy.

The good news is that once they arrive in Nanze they won’t have to endure the torture of the journey anymore. The sad news is that once they arrive in Nanze it means that they will be in trouble.

However, they had no choice but to prepare themselves. After all, this was a sin committed by their people before, so they could not blame others.

Therefore, now that they have arrived in Nanling, even if they go to buy things, they all go in groups, not just two or three people as in the past.

Although they knew that the person they had offended before was in Nanze, when the incident with Old Master Zhou happened, they all wondered whether those people would come to Nanling specifically to wait for their chance after getting the news.

In fact, this is because the people of the Jiang family are on edge. They didn't think that if Xiao Jiang and his team hadn't changed their minds temporarily two days ago and came to Nanling, they would have been in trouble.

None of them will stay in Nanling, but will take another route to Nanze.

Even if those people were well-informed, it was impossible for them to come to Nanling just for them.

Even the people who came to pick up Old Master Zhou did not arrive until they had arrived in Nanling for a while.

This also shows that they just happened to catch up.

It’s just that the Jiang family has been worried about this matter since they knew where they were exiled, so they lost their judgment.

However, if Zhou Jinran knew this, he might not think so. After all, no matter what, the Jiang family is not a bunch of fools, so how could they lose their judgment?

The reason why they acted like this was probably because they had pushed the other party too far before, and therefore they were worried that the other party would counterattack at any cost.
