Quick Wear: Another day of being criticized for falling in love at first sight

Chapter 764: The Hunter Lady is the Savior of the Powerful Official 25

Miaomiao looked up in surprise when she heard this, but then she felt something was wrong and lowered her head again.

So this ugly guy is also Xiao Yunzhou's subordinate?

I didn’t expect that when I came out to eat wontons, I would encounter such a “spy war” scene. Isn’t this much more exciting than those storybooks?

Miaomiao felt that she could eat two more bowls while eating wontons and watching the show with her head down.

Xiao Yunzhou beside her didn't even raise his head. He just blew on the wontons and slowly said the following few words of advice in the lingering steam from the bowl of wonton soup.

He is fourteen years old now. When he turns eighteen, he should be able to propose to the girl in front of him, right?

For some reason, Xiao Yunzhou had a feeling that no matter what he did, he would not be able to get Miaomiao before he turned eighteen. Only after he crossed the age of eighteen, the world would begin to favor him.

In other words, the girl in front of him might be inclined towards him.

"I understand, Master. Please rest assured."

Miaomiao didn't quite understand what this child ghost Xiao Yunzhou was talking about.

But this name sounded familiar. It seemed that Baobao had also mentioned the child ghost when he was telling her the plot, but she just ignored it as an insignificant word at the time.

Now, all she could do was listen and watch the show without saying anything.

After eating the wontons, the dark-faced burly man had left, and Miaomiao took Xiao Yunzhou for a walk around the town.

This kind of tour requires a lot of skill. Miaomiao used to go to places often, and now with Xiao Yunzhou, she has to go there even more. She even wants to let everyone know that she is no longer an orphan, and this is her distant cousin.

At least Wang the Butcher knew the situation, and the blacksmith in the town also knew that the little girl who often came to him to pick up bargains finally had a family.

When they returned to the village, Miaomiao did the same thing and took some snacks she bought in town to several familiar households in the village with Xiao Yunzhou.

This naturally includes Aniu's home. Aniu's mother is also at home. She seems to be busy with something at home. Miaomiao only saw her when she arrived.

Xiao Yunzhou's appearance was very successful, letting the familiar neighbors in the village know that he was her distant cousin, and also provided a layer of protection for Xiao Yunzhou's future residence here.

In addition to playing the role of a well-behaved younger brother during the day, Xiao Yunzhou would also stay quiet at home and write articles that could stir people's emotions when Miaomiao was about to go hunting in the mountains.

If for no other reason, it's just to make the Gao family suffer even more in the future.

Ten days later, Xiao Yunzhou's figure had almost taken root in the hearts of the people in these villages and towns. Everyone knew that there was such a young man by the side of the orphan girl Ling Miaomiao.

Although he had a scar on his face and looked even darker and yellower than them, his bone structure was very good, his body was straight, and his gestures were not like those of an ordinary person. He looked like a scholar.

During these ten days, there was some turmoil in the court. The reason was that the emperor was urged by his new favorite concubine to go on a secret tour.

After finally leaving the palace, he found that the outside was not what he had seen or imagined before.

It's not so bad in the capital, everything is peaceful. At most there are some ignorant people committing violence and evil in the streets.

But after leaving the capital, the scene he saw was much more desolate. The words he had heard from the officials in the past were like a mirror inlaid with intricate flowers. After seeing the truth, they were finally shattered completely.

The old emperor told no one. After returning to the palace, he reflected on his mistakes and then found Feng Pingsheng, the censor who always refuted him in the court and even wanted to commit suicide by banging his head against the pillar in court, to awaken his awareness.

As for the current situation, apart from those who are truly in power or even those who are aware of the situation, there are really not many people in the court who want to improve the precarious situation of the Chen Kingdom.

For this reason, the censor Feng Pingsheng suggested that the emperor could follow the "copper box system" that was implemented in certain dynasties in ancient books. It was not that no one wanted to expose the truth, but that exposing the truth would be a serious blow to certain powerful families.

How could the vested interests possibly feel any pain? Naturally, they don't want to change the status quo.

Those who truly want to change the status quo are often those who feel the pain, that is, those who are under the power...

The old emperor hardly thought about it, thinking that in the decades since he came to power, the Chen Kingdom not only did not develop much, but seemed to have regressed.

He was addicted to women and didn't have much ability. In the end, it was during this incognito tour that he realized his incompetence. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

In order to avoid being whipped to death or even beaten to death by his ancestors in the underworld, the old emperor finally risked his life. It only took him three days from the discovery to the decision to use the "Bronze Box System".

After this, the entire court was shaken. Some people tried to dissuade the emperor from carrying out the plan, some felt threatened, and some even thought that the plan would never be implemented at all.

The old emperor had been too lenient in his actions during the decades he had been in power, especially as he grew older. He had even begun to delegate power to the crown prince.

Such an old emperor is like a tiger with its teeth pulled out, not posing much of a threat...

Therefore, the initial implementation of the "Bronze Box System" was really just a lot of noise but little action. At first, no one took it seriously, nor did anyone see the old emperor's determination.

But Xiao Yunzhou could. He had heard about this system in his previous life and felt that it was a bargaining chip for him, and he won.

In this life, he was more thoroughly prepared, and even a lot of evidence was obtained after he became a powerful official. However, the Gao family had already been destroyed by then, and the evidence was nothing more than a page of useless waste paper.

It’s different now. Now that he is reborn, the Gao family can die again.

Including the Crown Prince, who is as soft-hearted as the old emperor and is more suitable to be a tyrant than a good ruler.

It's time to step down and let others take over.

If he is unwilling to purge all the corrupt officials who are attached to him, then he will have no choice but to go to hell with them...
