An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

Xu Zize was in a relatively good condition at the moment. He went back to the front yard to wipe his face, had his hair re-tied, changed into casual clothes, and then cheered himself up before going to Jing Chunxi's courtyard.

Along the way, he was thinking about how to inform Jing Chunxi of the progress of the matter and how to calm her emotions. After all, she had been busy with the affairs of Jiujiang County these days and had put in a lot of effort.

Seeing Jing Chunxi sitting across from him, his expression had improved considerably, and he couldn't help but smile at her. He whispered to her, "The governor of Jiujiang County and the magistrate of Xunyang County have been reappointed. They have already rushed over from the capital and will arrive in Xunyang City soon."

"Ah! So fast?" Jing Chunxi widened his eyes in shock and was unable to react for a moment.

She stared at Xu Zize blankly, and her mind emerged the scene when they were still in Xunyang City, when everyone was rushing around collecting evidence and some guards could only eat the porridge in their hands for dinner.

They spent so much effort and tried every possible way to get so many people to sign a petition, but the things probably didn't even reach the hands of King Yan, and in the end it seemed to be of no use at all.

A sense of loss and frustration welled up in her heart, and her voice trembled a little, almost wanting to cry: "Then the evidence we collected is useless?"

"That's not it!"

Seeing that she was truly hurt, Xu Zize felt bad too, and quickly comforted her, "When something happens to a local official, the government office must report it, so the news reaches the capital quickly. Local officials cannot be vacant for too long, so it's normal for the court to fill the vacancy in a timely manner."

He paused, then continued, "The purpose of the evidence we have now is not to bring down the dead scapegoats, but to identify the culprits behind them who are harming the people."

He looked at Jing Chunxi with a firm gaze, as if to instill confidence in her: "This kind of case takes a long time from investigation to conclusion, and it may even be left unresolved. But we can't be discouraged. The fox has shown its tail, and there will always be a time to cut it off."

Seeing that Jing Chunxi was still somewhat discouraged, Xu Zize added, "The governor of Jiang County rushed here from Jiangnan to take up his post. County Magistrate Tong is a classmate and friend of my third uncle, and he recommended him to my father."

He noticed that when Jing Chunxi heard the word "Third Uncle", his eyes flickered slightly, as if he was a little surprised. He asked softly, "Is this good news?"

"Ah!" Jing Chunxi came back to her senses, a trace of surprise and confusion on her face. She knew that the third uncle Xu Zize mentioned was her own uncle, but she didn't expect that her maternal grandfather's family had already established contact with the King of Yan so quickly.

This sudden change shocked her, and it took her a while to wrap her head around it. She murmured, "How did my grandfather and uncle... know the King of Yan?"

Xu Zize lowered his head and ate a small bowl of rice. When he looked up and saw Jing Chunxi still standing there in a daze, he helped her pick up a piece of pork ribs and a large shrimp, and reminded her: "What don't you understand? Eat and think about it."

He looked at the little sweet girl opposite him. She was looking at him with eyes that twinkled like stars and a hint of longing. She then looked at Jing Chunxi's bowl with envy.

Xu Zize knew what she meant, and since he really didn't want to overdo it, he helped her pick up a piece of pork ribs, then slightly put on a frown and said, "Eat well."

Little Tianbao's eyes lit up instantly, and he smiled like a blooming flower: "Thank you, brother. Big brother is the best, even better than Tianbao's big brother and second brother."

The little girl's words were innocent and full of flattery. A few words made Xu Zize blush, and he could only pick up another large shrimp to stuff into her mouth.

Turning back, Jing Chunxi took a mouthful of rice, but the spare ribs and prawns were still untouched. Xu Zize couldn't help but frown slightly.

He whispered, "Xi'er, eat quickly." He saw Tianbao secretly pulling Jing Chunxi's ears and grinning at her, and Jing Chunxi came back to her senses.

Xu Zize said again: "Xi'er, do you have any letter to send to Lingnan? Write it to Brother Xiaokang tomorrow. Remember to write briefly."

Upon hearing this, Jing Chunxi perked up and quickly said, "Yes, I will write it tonight. I will write to my grandfather and uncle, and I will also send a letter to Qingshan Villa, otherwise Pu Ge'er and mother will be worried."

She thought for a moment and added, "It seems like a long time has passed since I last sent a letter to Qingshan Villa. If I don't send it out in time, my family will definitely be worried."

Jing Chunxi didn't move her chopsticks much after she finished speaking, but just smiled happily. Xu Zize couldn't help feeling uneasy, thinking that she must have some bad ideas in her mind and wanted to trick him.

Sure enough, Jing Chunxi leaned over and whispered, "Brother Xiaokang, why don't we follow the example of Jiujiang County and kill the incompetent officials in Jian'an County, and then the King of Yan will send a few more people to take office." There was a mischievous glint in her eyes, testing his reaction, and she seemed to think this was the best way.

If all the officials were replaced by the Prince of Yan's men, hehe! Just thinking about it makes me feel that it would be beautiful.

Little Sweetie loved to hear the words "dog-killing official". She immediately became excited and leaned forward with her head, very excited: "Kill them! Feed them rat poison!" She waved her little hands, as if she had already seen the scene of those bad guys being poisoned by rat poison.

Jing Chunxi held his forehead speechlessly and looked at Xiao Tianbao helplessly: "Tianbao, do you have to use this rat poison?" This little guy hid a bag of rat poison and was thinking about when to use it every day!

"How can it be that easy? Can we let them continue to fight each other? Things like this happen again and again. The person in charge is not stupid. There must be a convincing reason for killing people." Xu Zize couldn't help shaking his head when he heard what they said and explained patiently.

He looked at Jing Chunxi and his tone became serious: "Okay, let's talk about this later when we get back to the study. You eat first." He pretended to be angry and tapped the table with his index finger to remind Jing Chunxi, and then he kept silent.

The little sweet baby sat back on the stool, looked at her big brother and nodded happily, still chewing a piece of pork ribs in her mouth, with a smile on her face, and said to Jing Chunxi: "Sister, eat quickly, the pork ribs are really delicious, and the prawns are even more fragrant. After we finish eating, we will kill the bad guys with big brother." There was a little oil stain on her little face, making her look like a calico cat, and she looked particularly cute.

Jing Chunxi resigned herself to her fate, her head lowered as she ate, forgetting to even pick up the food. Soon, two more pieces of pork ribs and a large shrimp appeared in her bowl. As she ate, she thought, with the support of the Prince of Yan, a comeback was just around the corner.

Her mood gradually improved, and she found the food in front of her particularly delicious. Tianbao and she almost finished all the spare ribs and prawns, while Xu Zize drank most of the golden chicken soup. This meal was the best Jing Chunxi had eaten in three days.

After dinner, they let July take the reluctant little sweet baby away, and the two returned to the study in the front yard.

This time it was Jing Chunxi who was unhappy. He pointed to the small bed in the inner room and said, "I'm going to read here for a while. Brother Xiaokang can sleep for an hour. Otherwise, I won't stay here anymore. I'll have to look at your dark circles all day. I might as well go back to the courtyard."
