An Avenger who doesn't want to fight back in the capital is not a good magistrate.

During the time when Chu Zi'an was caught up in the controversy surrounding high-ranking officials, he had been carefully collecting information in Beijing. Although the case of Qu Kaiyu's corruption investigation had not caused much of a stir, he still knew some of the inside story.

only……

Chu Zian looked at Wang Qizi's face, which showed that he was sure of winning, and fell into deep doubt.

The Wang family... doesn't know the news about this yet?

It shouldn't be...

[Oh oh——]

[Cheng, Cheng, Cheng, just say it, how come this person didn’t even know that his backer had fallen, so this is what’s going on—]

Chu Zi'an came back to his senses and glanced at the little guy on the other side of the court casually, his tongue tip constantly pressing against his gums.

If you found out, just tell me directly, why do you have to lay out the groundwork for so long? !

There is an impatient person sitting here!

Fortunately, the little fellow didn't make them wait too long. Almost at the moment when this thought came to mind, the young voice in his heart rang out again -

【Ha ha ha ha--】

[This Wang family is so funny - they have been relying on their relatives in high-ranking positions in the capital to gain a firm foothold in Xiyuan City for so many years, but that "sister" was just a concubine. They didn't want the people in Xiyuan City to know about this, so they pretended to be profound and never mentioned the person's name, only saying that their family had such a high-ranking official relative in the capital...]

[It is convenient for them to continue to pretend until now. ]

[The boss was afraid that if this matter was leaked, the rivals they had built up over the years would take advantage of the situation, so he deliberately did not tell Wang Qizi, hoping to confuse the rivals through his arrogant behavior...]

Lechen and the others turned their heads and looked at Wang Qizi, who looked like a smug man, and nodded with a look of sudden realization.

Don't say it, don't say it!

If this fool hadn't revealed Qu Kaiyu's name, they would really have thought that this family had some important connections in the capital!

[Puff—]

"puff--"

Chu Zi'an, who was standing behind the desk, couldn't hold back his laughter and also made a sound of trying to hold back his laughter but still trying to keep it decent.

When he first came to Xiyuan City, the people around him collected a list of "people not to mess with" for him. At that time, he did some more research on the situation of the Wang family.

Almost everyone in Xiyuan City knew that the Wang family had a high-ranking relative in the capital, but no one knew that person's name. This situation should not have been enough to arouse everyone's fear, until one day the Wang family was involved in a lawsuit, but was quickly released by the new prefect...

This delicate relationship was only then confirmed, and everyone gave in to them on many things without telling them.

But I didn't expect that the truth would be like this!

Wang Qizhi: “…”

Wang Qizhi: “???”

What's going on with these people?

Are you scared?!

After he said that, he was full of pride and waited for the people around him to kneel down and beg for mercy, even if that effect could not be achieved...

At the very least, they should look at him with trembling eyes and say some submissive words with trembling mouth -

What's the point of looking at him with such a mischievous expression, whether to laugh or not? !

Wang Qizi's anger was ignited once again, and a string of harsh words burst out of his mouth.

"I am warning you, my brother-in-law has real power in the capital. If you don't want to—"

The series of harsh words that followed were automatically filtered by everyone into a long string of garbled text. Everyone looked at Wang Qizi, whose face was red with anger, with extremely kind eyes, as if they were looking at their own angry cats and dogs.

As the saying goes, when a person is weak enough, even his anger seems like he is just acting like a spoiled child.

This is how Wang Qizi is now in their eyes.

However, the little ones obviously could not reach the mature state of mind of the adults. Jiang Yingcheng felt that this incompetent and furious adult was really noisy. His eyes had begun to dart around in the court, intending to find a handy weapon to knock out this overly noisy adult with a stick.

[So annoying! This annoying "young master" is so annoying! ! ]

[Is there no one who can shut this person up?! ! ! ]

Chu Zian finally had enough of the fun and interrupted the farce with a light cough.

"Wang Qizi," he said with a smile in his voice, "I have just arrived in Xiyuan City and didn't know you had such a relative."

Wang Qizi shook his sleeves, glanced at the people opposite him with a proud look, and finally looked reservedly at the Xiyuan prefect who finally came to his senses: "I don't want to bully others by taking advantage of my power. As long as you can make a fair judgment--"

"puff--"

Someone behind me made another strange noise.

The expression on Wang Qizi's face was about to crack.

What's wrong with you lowly people?!

Can you please respect the objective law of “scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans”? !

"but--"

Chu Zian spoke at this time: "I heard that Lord Qu Kaiyu had been dismissed by His Majesty for corruption and bribery."

Wang Qizhi was stunned: "What——"

What? ! !

He unconsciously took a few steps forward: "Impossible!"

"We don't have any in our family—"

Wang Qizi wanted to say that even his family had not received such news, so how could a small prefect like you say such a thing? But he suddenly recalled that there was a period of time before when the atmosphere at home was very strange.

His father and his elder brother sighed all day long, as if something big had happened. Whenever he went to ask, they were always sent back with a few words.

After a long time, the situation was finally eased a little, but from then on, those two people were no longer as carefree and spend money like water as before.

and so……

Wang Qizi looked back at the thugs behind him with a dazed expression, as if he wanted to regain a sense of security from them.

So, could the news the prefect said be...

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a loud drum sounded outside the government office.

Wang Qizi, who was deep in thought, was frightened by the voice and shivered all over.

Immediately afterwards, dense drum beats rang out one after another.

A moment later, an official came running up to the court and reported loudly, "Sir, someone outside the yamen is beating a drum, saying that they have caught a gang of human traffickers who have been abducting children during this period!"

Chu Zian was shocked: "Pass it on!"

After the official ran out again, Chu Zian finally reacted -

Although this case is small, it is not as touching as the case of missing children in Xiyuan City recently, but...

His hesitant gaze fell on the small figure in front of him.

However, if what the little guy said in his heart was true, then that identity was not someone he could easily offend.

If he cannot find a proper solution, he will probably never have to think about returning to the capital.

only--

Before he could come up with a foolproof plan, a voice suddenly rang out from outside the door -

"Master?!"

Chu Zian was stunned.
