Chapter 608 Please Don’t Ignore Me…

After saying so much, he really couldn't help it and admitted his mistake first.

"Brother Yue, Brother Xi, I will accept any beatings or punishments you may have. Please don't ignore me..."

After saying this, his eyes were red.

Erbao slapped him, "Alright, let's not talk about the past. We all know it had nothing to do with you. We don't blame you! Even if I blamed you, would I bring you back to talk? Now that we've had so much hardship and happiness, I won't blame you anymore."

The little fat boy laughed and cried.

"Okay, thank you Brother Yue, thank you Brother Xi, thank you all!"

Brother Yue would not lie anymore. He knew that Brother Yue was magnanimous and Brother Xi was sensible.

A thousand grievances surged in my heart, and I burst into tears, "Brother Yue, Brother Xi! Wow..."

Erbao said disdainfully, "What are you crying for? You've even cried so hard that your nose is bubbling. Be more restrained. There's no one at home now, right?"

The little fat boy whimpered, "Yes, there's also an old housekeeper named Mao, the one who followed me to Shili Town before. He was worried about me and followed me, but he has family..."

Erbao said, "I see. Then you are my little brother. You will follow me from now on. If I have a bite to eat, you will have a bite to eat!"

The little fat boy couldn't believe his ears.

"Brother Yue? Are you serious?"

Erbao asked, "Am I kidding you? Are you my little brother?"

"Yes! Brother Yue!" the little fat man said without hesitation.

Erbao said decisively, "Then don't waste time, pack up and come with us tomorrow."

When he said this, Dabao next to him did not object.

So, when he finished speaking, he patted his chest and became more and more confident. If his brother didn't object, then it must be something he decided on and it would succeed.

The little fat boy jumped three feet high with joy, "Got it! Brother Yue! Don't look at me being fat, I can run errands very fast, do things quickly, and I can also be a servant, I also attended the class of human-shaped characters, I will go back to pack my things now, I will roll over tonight, I don't really have anything to pack, I just want to go back and tell Lao Mao that Lao Mao's descendants have long wanted to take him back to live in his old age, he was worried about me and didn't go back, now I let him go, I still have some private money saved, I will give it all to Lao Mao for his old age..."

At the end of his speech, he became so excited that his speech became incoherent.

Erbao scolded with a smile, "Moji, hurry up and come back quickly..."

"Yes." The little fat boy turned around and ran outside. Halfway through, he turned back and said, "Brother Xi, Brother Yue, you can try my clams and taste them. I can also work part-time as a chef..."

Nanbao had already finished three servings of stir-fried clams and said disapprovingly, "It's not as good as my mother's. It's just so-so."

This is just okay. If it tastes good, I would order at least five servings.

After the little fat man left, Erbao said anxiously, "Brother, I..."

Dabao knew what he meant. "You can take him with you. He's not someone who would have a grudge against us because of Mao Shurong. The little fat guy is a righteous man with decent character. However, you still need to be more careful..."

Mao Shurong was his uncle. No matter what the reason, his death was probably related to the rehabilitation of their Xiangwang Mansion.

If an ordinary person were to consider this, they would not bring him along. It is better to be safe than sorry.

However, Dabao and the others were not afraid. First, they lacked trustworthy people around them, so it would be better to have old friends come to them for help, as they knew them well. Second, they trusted their judgment and the fat boy's character. Third, if they really discovered any clues, they could just ignore them and it wouldn't be a big deal.

Erbao was delighted, "Okay, thank you, big brother. I will take good care of him."

After a while, the servants came to report that the magistrate of Shamen County was holding a banquet in the yamen, and the princess and her husband had agreed to dine there, and invited Prince Xiaoxiang and others to dine as well.

Dabao went there with his younger brother and sister-in-law.

Now that you are in a high position, you will have to socialize and entertain people all the time. It’s okay to be calm. People just deal with each other in various ways, and communication is inevitable.

The county magistrate was very respectful and enthusiastic, and after the meal, the host and the guest got along well.

When they came back from dinner, the fat boy was already there, waiting for them in the lobby.

Seeing Jiang Lianzhu and his wife, the little fat boy came forward happily to pay his respects.

Jiang Lianzhu hadn't seen the little fat boy for a long time, so she talked to him for a few more words. She was also very happy that the little fat boy wanted to join the Prince Xiang's Mansion and expressed her welcome. The little fat boy smiled from ear to ear.

Erbao hurriedly pulled him down.

Nanbao also followed and started chatting.

The only ones left are Liao Jiu and his wife, plus Dabao.

The three of them returned to the room, and Dabao asked about their investigation of the case today.

I only have the chance to ask now. It was inconvenient to eat together outside before.

Liao Jiu replied sternly, "Shi Guanggun's case has already been sentenced to death. The subsequent crackdown on the trafficking gang was carried out, and the case is closed. It says the leader and others have all pleaded guilty and been sentenced to death. However, I've discovered that many of the children in child trafficking cases have disabilities or problems..."

"In Wang Ji's case, the case file states that he was bribed. Whoever bribed him has not yet been apprehended. Wang Ji is now blind and has been sentenced to exile. It is unknown whether he is dead or alive."

"The rest is about the Mao family case. Eagle Master Mao Shurong's confession stated that he went to the Beijing Academy to study and was noticed by the owner of Baihua Tower and accepted as an apprentice. However, his brother's testimony stated that when Mao Shurong was a child, someone often secretly watched him, but he himself did not realize it. Therefore, your mother and I have always suspected that there are senior members of Baihua Tower lurking in Shamen County, or have been keeping an eye on Shamen County..."

"Can we boldly link child trafficking to Baihualou? Where do they abduct and sell children? Normal children are bought and sold, and those abnormal ones might be people like Mao Shurong who have had supernatural powers since childhood. They are secretly training them to become the leaders of Baihualou? This is just speculation..."

After listening to this, Dabao pondered for a while.

"That guess makes sense. So, maybe there's a small leader in Baihualou who's from Shamen County. Have you ever checked what talents and dignitaries Shamen County has produced? They count in the past, and they count now..."

Dabao's words immediately ignited the thoughts of Jiang Lianzhu and the others.

Jiang Lianzhu said, "Now that you mention it, I just happened to come across a book about outstanding figures in Shamen County today. It seems that Shamen County has produced quite a few talented people. Mrs. Lin's family is from Shamen County, and there are also several high-ranking officials from Shamen County, including the highest-ranking minister, and even the eunuchs who once served in the palace, all of whom have high official ranks..."

Dabao interjected, "So, Nanny Cheng is from Shamen County. They were bought into the palace from Shamen County and even got close to the eldest prince. They must have some backers in the palace... Mother, what is the name of the high-ranking eunuch mentioned in the records? Can you remember it? If not, let's go to the government office and take a look."
