For two days, Xuan Wu and Xuan Qi led people to conduct open and secret investigations in Zhangzhou County.

The investigation was not smooth at the beginning because they were strangers and the people were wary of them.

But with the addition of stars, things become simple.

Although Xingchen is young, he can be regarded as a living map.

There was no place in the entire Zhangzhou County that he didn't know.

Xianghe, Siyue and their families are even more familiar with and trust Xingchen.

In two days, they obtained a large amount of evidence that Zhao Tuo had abducted women and committed all kinds of evil.

With Lu Kang's help, Huai'an also reaped a lot.

*

And so it came to the third day.

Huai'an woke up early and climbed out of bed quietly.

When he turned over Lu Chenxiao who was sleeping on the bed, he moved more gently, but still met his father's clear eyes before his feet landed on the ground.

"Father?"

Huai'an was a little surprised, as he had obviously been very careful.

Lu Chenxiao seemed not to notice his son's shock. He reached out and pulled the still sleeping Meng Yunshang into his arms and hugged her tightly.

Then he asked Huai'an nonchalantly, "Where are you going so early?"

"I have all the evidence of the crimes committed by Zhao Tuo and his son. I will accompany Xingchen to the county government office to beat the drum and appeal for justice."

Lu Chenxiao didn't even lift his eyelids, he lowered his head to tuck in the quilt for the person in his arms, and had no intention of saying anything more to his son.

Huai'an thought about it and took the initiative to tell him, "Father, you don't know, Zhao Tuo and his son are really too much!"

After saying that, the little guy waited expectantly for his father to ask about the details so that he could tell him all the information he had investigated in the past few days.

By the way, tell my father that I am very capable.

It would be even better if his father could praise him a few words, he would definitely be full of motivation.

But after waiting for a long time, all I got was a bland "hmm".

Huai'an: "..."

"Father, Zhao Tuo and his son really deserve to die."

"Got it. If you want to leave, be quick and don't disturb your mother's sleep."

Huai’an: “???”

Is he being disliked again?

But it was clearly his father who called him first.

snort!

I know that my father hates it the most.

The little girl glared at Lu Chenxiao angrily, and turned away without caring that the clothes on her chest had not been straightened yet.

Without any hesitation.

Lu Chenxiao sneered, the bastard was quite hot-tempered.

When Huai'an was about to cross the threshold, he spoke slowly, "I have to accompany your mother around the city today, so I don't have time to go to the county government. You can do whatever you want."

Huai'an turned around, put his hands on his waist and said, "I'll be thankful if you can take good care of my mother. I will take care of the rest myself."

Lu Chenxiao was amused, "I hope you can still be so crazy later!"

You ignorant brat!

……

Half an hour later, Huai'an and Xingchen stood in front of the drum at the gate of the county government office.

Xuanwu and Xuanqi stood behind them.

Huai'an pointed at the drumsticks on the shelf and motioned to Xingchen, "You come."

Xingchen subconsciously took two steps back, "So high?"

After saying that, he reached out and tried again, and found that it was still a long way off.

Huai'an's mouth twitched slightly, and he turned around and ordered Xuanwu, "You can knock on it."

Xuan Wu coughed lightly, suppressing the urge to laugh out loud, and tried to convince himself that the Prince and Xingchen were still children, so it was normal for them to be a little shorter.

Huaian may be small, but his new brain is very useful.

He narrowed his eyes and reminded Xuan Wu, "Knock it hard, or I will tell her that you secretly called Sister Dangui a tomboy."

Xuan Wu's eyes darkened, and he held onto Huai'an's shoulders and begged helplessly, "Prince, please let me go!"

Huai'an snorted, "Be quick, don't waste my time."

"Ok!"

Xuan Wu grabbed the hammer and started hitting it wildly.

The continuous drumbeats startled two yamen runners, one fat and one thin, who came hurriedly.

Seeing Xingchen next to the drum stand, the fat yamen runner cursed, "You're here again, you bastard. What? Didn't I beat you up last time?"

The thin yamen runner also accused with a dark face, "We have already warned you, don't make trouble, the yamen will not let you do whatever you want just because you are a child."

Xingchen looked at the two of them coldly, "I'm not kidding, I really have a grievance to redress."

The bailiff didn't take it seriously, "What can a little brat do to you?"

"That's right, do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have two helpers? Get out of here now, or we will be rude to you."

Huai Anhu stood in front of Xingchen and asked the two of them in a clear and loud voice, "How are you going to be rude to him?"

The fat yamen runner looked down at Huai'an and said, "Oh, there's a short guy here."

"Tsk, Xingchen, you are such a loser, you even brought such a young child with you."

Huai'an's expression remained unchanged as he questioned the two of them word by word, "I say, how are you going to be rude to him?"

"What else can we do? Just give him a good beating and keep him out of bed for a few days. Who dared to do such a thing in our government office?"

After the two yamen runners finished speaking, they smiled at each other, not taking the two children seriously at all.

Huai'an's jade-like face was immediately filled with anger, and she asked in a cold and childish voice, "Is this how you treat people who beat drums to complain about their grievances?"

"What else? Do you still want us to treat you as guests of honor?"

The fat yamen runner crossed his arms and looked arrogant after he finished speaking.

Xingchen was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and was about to go up and fight with the two of them, but Huai'an quickly held him back.

At the same time, he turned around and ordered, "Xuan Qi!"

"understand!"

Xuan Qi stepped forward and quickly stepped on the two yamen runners.

"You, you are so brave that you actually beat up the government officials in public."

"Bah! You two are worthy of calling yourselves officials?"

Huai'an gestured to Xuan Qi, "Let them know what it means to speak out of turn!"

"Okay, Master!"

After a round of beatings and kicks, the two yamen runners were left with only their last breath.

Huai'an then stopped Xuan Qi.

"Go in quickly and report to Magistrate Zhao to come to court, or I will break in."

The two men looked at each other and crawled back into the yamen using their hands and feet.

Even with this show of force, Magistrate Zhao still took a long time before going to court.

Looking at the new bailiff who came to summon them in, Xingchen reminded Huai'an with some concern.

"That County Magistrate Zhao is very sinister. We beat up his men as soon as we arrived. I'm afraid he will get angry and attack us."

"This is about their father and son. Even if we didn't beat those two guys just now, he wouldn't be nice to us."

Xingchen nodded, "Be careful at that moment. If you find that something is wrong, let them take you away first."

Huai'an agreed verbally, but what he was thinking in his heart was that the matter must be resolved today.

As soon as the two entered the hall, they heard a stern shout, "Who is in the hall?"

Then the gavel slammed on the table. If it were a timid person, he would have fallen to his knees due to his weak legs.

But Huai'an has been brave since he was young, and Xingchen is not a coward either.

The two of them just stood calmly in front of the hall, looking at County Magistrate Zhao with disdain in their eyes.

As if to say, do you think this can scare your grandfather?

County Magistrate Zhao choked.

There was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes as he looked at the two children.

He questioned with a gloomy face, "Xingchen, you are so brave!"

"Your Excellency, please allow me to report that Xingchen is indeed very courageous, but everything happens for a reason. I hope you will handle this impartially."

"Nonsense!"

Magistrate Zhao didn't give Xingchen any chance to continue speaking, he slammed the gavel again.

"I pity you for being an orphan and helpless, so I didn't bother with you even though you made trouble several times before."

"But you are making even more trouble. Today, I must teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents."

"Somebody come!"

Soon, a dozen yamen runners dressed in short clothes and carrying swords emerged from the back hall.
