After leaving the village, Xiao Liuzi insisted on repaying Zhan Xiaoxiao, but Zhan Xiaoxiao couldn't take Xiao Liuzi away. Because Xiao Liuzi is too young, besides, the place they are going to is too far. Zhan Xiaoxiao promised Xiao Liuzi that after the matter is done in the future, he will definitely bring Xiao Liuzi with him when he comes back. Zhan Xiaoxiao asked Xiao Liuzi to hide his things well, so that he could exchange them for money when he ran out of money in the future. As for the little cash, Zhan Xiaoxiao suggested that Xiao Liuzi go to the market to exchange it for food. Zhan Xiaoxiao taught Xiao Liuzi how to deal with the questions of the adults in the market, and Xiao Liuzi could say that he was a kid from a big family and helped the owner's family buy some food. As long as the amount is not large and the money taken out is not much, it will not attract too many people's attention. Once you have food, don't come back right away, go around familiar places and make sure no one is following you before you go back. Don't eat all the food at once, eat a little bit every day, and replenish it when you don't have much left. Don't wait until there's nothing left, and don't buy anything valuable. After Zhan Xiaoxiao came back, he and Xiao Liuzi decided how to arrange Xiao Liuzi. Xiao Liuzi agreed one by one, and Zhan Xiaoxiao left with confidence.

Not long after Zhan Xiaoxiao left, the maid in the house found the bodies of the old man and the housekeeper. After suing the Yamen, the Yamen's arrest was quickly found to be two people who had died under the powerful manipulation after an autopsy. In addition, some valuables in Fuzhong are missing, and it is determined that people in the rivers and lakes are crossing the border to commit crimes. This case not only did not implicate Xiao Liuzi, but also reported it as a murder case for money. Although the people in the house were suspicious, they thought that it was impossible for Xiao Liuzi to do this at such a young age, so they ignored it. Without the butler's stalking, no one wants to force Xiao Liuzi to death, and Xiao Liuzi has become a person that no one cares about. Except for not being able to move back home, the rest is basically unattended. For various reasons, Zhan Xiaoxiao did not come back to pick up Xiao Liuzi later, and Xiao Liuzi grew up alone in the mountains. Later, he used the money left by Zhan Xiaoxiao to buy a piece of land, marry a wife, and live a peaceful life. Except for Xiao Liuzi, no one knows what happened back then. Xiao Liuzi has always remembered this aunt, many years later, when he became a father, he relied on his memory to ask someone to paint a picture, he asked his family and descendants not to forget the people in the painting, saying that these people are their family's great benefactors. This is all a later story, Zhan Xiaoxiao and her husband Qin Tai immediately forgot about this matter.

Finally came to the place mentioned in Xiao Lingzi's letter. Xiao Lingzi is in the prefect's yamen at the regional level here, and his position is the current prefect's criminal master, and he is a person with status and status. According to the explanation in Xiao Lingzi's letter, the owner will also give Xiao Lingzi an official identity, and then Xiao Lingzi can participate in the township test in the province. If you pass the exam, you will be a jinshi at the level of an alternate official, and you can have the same etiquette as an official. When I go to the capital to participate in the national examination in the spring of next year, if I pass it again, the current officials of the imperial court will be assigned to the actual department to take up specific work, at least a county with seven products. If you win the top prize, it will be even more remarkable, and the future will be brighter and more ambitious.

Qin Tai was just about to enter the yamen to inquire about Xiao Lingzi, but Zhan Xiaoxiao pulled Qin Tai away. Qin Tai looked at his wife Zhan Xiaoxiao suspiciously, why didn't his wife let him go directly to see Xiao Lingzi? Zhan Xiaoxiao looked around a little embarrassed, and then said a more reliable reason. said that if you go to find Xiao Lingzi now, it will not only be too sudden, but it will also affect Xiao Lingzi's daily work. Qin Tai himself is a person who has a clear distinction between public and private, and knows that he can't do private things during office hours at this time. So he promised to leave with his wife first, and then go to Xiao Lingzi after arranging the salute.

After everyone chose a good inn and stayed down, Qin Taizhi left Lao Xu. There are only Qin Tai and his wife and Qiu Xiaoqiu in the room, and there are only four people in the room. Qin Tai needed to listen to Zhanxiao's explanation, because Zhanxiao's reason just now was an excuse and not a real reason. Zhan Xiaoxiao must have discovered something, so he stopped Qin Tai from going in and going directly to find Xiao Lingzi.

Zhan Xiaoxiao looked at Qin Tai, Qin Tai and Qiu Xiaoqiu glanced at each other inexplicably, and then continued to look at Zhan Xiaoxiao with a strange expression. Qiu Xiaoqiu finally couldn't help it, he said, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" Why are you looking at us like that? What did you find? ”

Zhan Xiaoxiao said: "Just now I saw a person who shouldn't be here. I don't know if I was dazzled, or if I really saw it wrong? But out of caution, you go and ask. I'll hear from you. Not only be fast, but also keep it secret, and don't let others notice you. Saying that, he wrote a person's name in Qiu Xiaoqiu's palm, and did not tell Qin Tai directly.

After Qiu Xiaoqiu left, Zhan Xiaoxiao ignored Qin Tai, hugged his son Xiao Ping'an, and coaxed Xiao Ping'an to sleep. Although Qin Tai didn't understand, he still didn't speak. Usually, Zhan Xiaoxiao is obedient to Qin Tai, but once Zhan Xiaoxiao has an idea, his temper is particularly stubborn. Qin Tai and Huang Zihao waited for Qiu Xiaoqiu to come back, confirmed the target, and then listened to his wife Zhan Xiaoxiao explain well.

Qiu Xiaoqiu came back immediately after going out, and Qin Tai thought that his cousin Qiu Xiaoqiu had forgotten something and came back to get it. Unexpectedly, Qiu Xiaoqiu nodded to Zhan Xiaoxiao, indicating that Zhan Xiaoxiao did not guess wrong. Zhan Xiaoxiao was not happy because of this, but sat down on the bed with a solemn face, and woke up the son in his hand. Qin Tai hurriedly hugged Xiao Ping'an, who started crying, he knew that his wife needed to calm down and think now. Only when Zhan Xiaoxiao finishes thinking about it will Zhan Xiaoxiao tell the truth of the matter.

Zhan Xiaoxiao finally began to regain her senses, but her words frightened Qin Tai. Zhan Xiaoxiao returned to normal, but scared Qin Tai, who had always been calm, out of his mind. Qin Tai was in his room all day, and he could only say one sentence, "How can this be?" How so? And Zhanxiao's sentence was, "You also know Xiao Lingzi's new owner, it is Jia Baishun." ”

Qiu Xiaoqiu didn't know who Jia Baishun was, nor did he know the grievances between Jia Baishun and Qin Tai, so he didn't react much. Zhan Xiaoxiao asked him to inquire if the new prefect was called Jia Baishun, so he asked the store. The shopkeeper thought that these foreign businessmen were going to Yamen to fight the prefect, so they told Qiu Xiaoqiu the name of the prefect. Qiu Xiaoqiu came back to report immediately after he found out, but he didn't know that this name was too shocking for Qin Tai and his wife.

Jia Baishun, the first derelict official that Qin Tai dealt with back then. It is for this reason that there are many contradictions between Jia Baishun and Qin Tai. Later, I learned that Jia Baishun's cousin was Xu Jie, a person who once caused Qin Tai's father to leave the officialdom in frustration. After that, Xu Jie used various methods to attack and persecute Qin Tai, and Qin Tai used his cleverness and justice to sabotage Xu Jie's conspiracy again and again. Xu Jie still used various means to target Qin Tai, among which arranging Jia Baishun to target Qin Tai and suppressing Qin Tai was a poisonous plan. Jia Baishun and Qin Tai are a pair of enemies, because of Qin Tai, Jia Baishun not only can't be promoted, can't make a fortune, but also has a damaged reputation. On the contrary, because of Jia Baishun's containment, Qin Tai did not handle the case smoothly many times, and almost died in the process of handling the case several times. Even when Qin Tai was ordered to not go out at home, Xu Jie also arranged for Jia Baishun to go to Qin Tai's hometown in Shanxi to be an official, just to disgust Qin Tai's family. Qin Tai had many enemies in his life, and many people wanted Qin Tai to die, but no one had a confrontation with Qin Tai head-on. Only this Jia Baishun put on a clear posture of carriage and horse artillery, and he was in a life-and-death posture with Qin Tai. In the end, it developed to the point that if Qin Tai opposed Jia Baishun supported, all Jia Baishun who Qin Tai wanted to do would definitely be destroyed. How could such a person who was always against Qin Tai not shock Qin Tai.

Since Xu Jie's resignation, hasn't Jia Baishun been ordered to give office? Why did it become the prefect of this place again? It is impossible for Xiao Lingzi not to know about the matter between Qin Tai and Jia Baishun, why should he be Jia Baishun's master? When he fought Jia Baishun for the first time, Xiao Lingzi was also present, Xiao Lingzi knew that Jia Baishun was a person, why did he still help such a corrupt official? Qin Tai would never target a certain person because of his personal problems, if Jia Baishun was a good official, Qin Tai would not go down with him forever. But every time Qin Tai met Jia Baishun, Jia Baishun appeared as a corrupt official or an incompetent official. For the sake of the people, in order to reduce unjust, false and wrongful cases, Qin Tai faced officials like Jia Baishun head-on. If there are fewer such officials, the people will have a good life, and this kind of officials will do the greatest harm to the people if they see it. If Xiao Lingzi wants to be a good person and a good official in the future, he should not associate with this kind of person. If you have been in contact with this kind of person for a long time, you will be more or less contaminated with some bad atmosphere, and it will be impossible to be an upright and good official at that time. Qin Tai made up his mind that after seeing Xiao Lingzi later, he must persuade Xiao Lingzi to leave Jia Baishun. Even if he can't be a good official, he can't let Jia Baishun teach the bad little spirit.
