Chapter 8 Inside Story (Part 1)

"Then father, the child is going back to Ding Dianshi."

"What a rude thing to do!" Mr. Pan was very satisfied with Pan's attitude of correcting his mistakes when he knew they were wrong. He first scolded him, and then began to reprimand him.

"Since you have agreed, how can you rashly reject others? Not to mention Bai Xingjian, but also Ding Quan. Although he is a small official, he has been operating in Wu County for decades. He who blocks people's financial paths is like killing his parents, blocking people's officialdom. Lu also killed his parents. If you reject Ding Quan now, wouldn't you offend your superiors and colleagues?"

"I hope my father can help the child with guidance."

Paine looked up at this cheap old man. This old man should not ignore him.

"Hmph, do you know why Bai Xingjian insisted on asking Ding Quan to come to you? Li Xiao, the magistrate of Pingjiang Prefecture, is his superior. Since Li Xiao has joined the Jia family, he will directly follow the Jia family. Okay, why do you have to go through so many twists and turns to ask for my opinion?"

Pan knew that Mr. Pan was just trying to compete, so he rummaged through his mind and picked up some random reasons to answer.

"Father, the child thinks that the Jia family's remaining power is still there. After all, Jia Zheng, the second master of the Rongguo Mansion, is still the head of the country, and his in-law Prince Tengxian is now in charge of all nine provinces. County Magistrate Bai should be worried about the Jia family's hundred feet. The insect is dead but not dead! After all, Jia Yu Village was single-handedly supported by the Jia family and became the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, so County Magistrate Bai did not dare to rashly impeach the Jia family along with Shangguan."

"Ignorant child, it seems you haven't made much progress these days."

Mr. Pan was obviously very dissatisfied, "You are no more knowledgeable than a foolish man or woman on the road. Haven't you read the newspaper in the Yamen these days?"

"Well, the child has been ill these past few days, so he took a leave of absence from the Yamen."

Paine knew that this kind of thing could not be hidden from the cheap daddy, so he had to admit it.

"Hmph, you rebellious son."

Mr. Pan said displeasedly, "You can't learn from your brothers. What's the point of living around eating and waiting for death?"

After losing his temper, Mr. Pan continued.

"Bai Xingjian is not afraid of the Jia family. He is a pure person. Even if he has nothing to do, it is normal to impeach a few nobles. Jia Zheng's daughter is just a virtuous concubine, and he is not ranked as the father-in-law. The prince was promoted. The nine provinces were inspected and they were ascending and descending covertly. It sounded good, but the original Jingying Jiedushi was the key. The emperor had long disliked the Jia family and the Wang family! The four major families in Jinling are just grasshoppers in autumn. , I won’t be able to bounce around for a few days.”

"Then why does County Magistrate Bai not dare to follow Magistrate Li to visit the Jia family? As far as I know, there is also a branch of the Jia family in Wu County, and they also do some illegal activities on weekdays."

"It's not that Bai Xingjian is timid, it's that he is too well-informed."

Mr. Pan's mouth became dry as he spoke, and he took a sip of tea.

"The emperor has sent an imperial envoy down to the south of the Yangtze River. This is obviously a matter of Chajia's family and the four major families of Jinling. Secretly, he still wants to track down the Japanese pirates who have wandered thousands of miles and no one can stop it. Moreover, there is another layer of connections involved, so let's That Bai Xingjian didn't dare to take any side, so he wanted to ask me."

"What's the relationship?"

"The Qintian Prison discovered a strange phenomenon in Yinghuo a few days ago. It is suspected that someone has awakened to Yinghuo's star destiny, and the person who bears the star's destiny is in Jiangnan!"

"What!"

This sudden news almost broke Paine's expression control.
