But on the surface he still sat down cooperatively, preparing seriously to listen to Qingtian's story.
Then I heard Qingtian vividly describe how Zhan Changsheng beat Wang Jianxin last night.
Qin Hexuan knew what was going on as soon as he heard the beginning. After all, Mu Zheng had already explained it to him last night, even using gestures and explanations.
However, he still listened carefully to Qingtian's baby voice and then discovered the key point.
"Qingtian, are you saying that Mr. Zhan has been to your Rongxi Village?"
"Yes, my father said he was the Mr. Zhan who came to my house." Qingtian remembered it clearly, "My father had just hunted several wild boars the night before, and the next morning the villagers distributed the wild boar meat. Everyone was so happy.
"Later in the afternoon, Captain Hu brought this Mr. Zhan to the village and also came to my house.
"My father was not at home at the time. He had gone to the county town to sell wild boars. Mr. Zhan said he had to go back to the county town to find my father.
"But Captain Hu suddenly said he had a stomachache and needed to go to the toilet, and he insisted that my second uncle lead him there.
"They went to the backyard and stayed there for a long time before coming back. Master Zhan was getting impatient waiting."
After Qingtian finished speaking, his dark eyes rolled around a few times, and he leaned close to Qin Hexuan's ear and whispered, "Brother Qin, I want to tell you something that no one else knows."
"You said..." Qin Hexuan's ears were hit by Qingtian's breath and soon turned red.
"In fact, Captain Hu didn't go to the toilet at all. He went to the backyard and said a few words to my second uncle. Then my second uncle slipped out from the back and didn't come back until half a day later.
"Then Captain Hu returned to the front yard with my second uncle. By then, Master Zhan was getting a little impatient waiting!"
In fact, Mu Zheng also discussed this matter with Qin Hexuan last night. After all, Zhan Changsheng and Wang Jianxin are two people who have nothing to do with each other, and no one knows why they became enemies.
Mu Zheng even speculated about some ridiculous things like whether one of them was cheating on the other.
Unexpectedly, I got some clues from the story told by Qingtian.
Boss Ye and Sister Ye could not have imagined that Qin Hexuan was much more sensitive than other children of the same age in this regard.
He immediately thought of the memorial that Qin Songyin mentioned when he returned home a few days ago.
At the dinner table, Qin Songyin smiled and sighed, "I didn't expect that County Magistrate Wang was quite perceptive. The timing of submitting this memorial was simply perfect.
"Every word in the memorial seemed to praise Rongxi Village and Ye Qingchen, but in fact, it was all flattery, flattering the emperor to the point of being completely satisfied.
"How come I didn't realize he was such a talent when I went to Fengle County to suppress bandits?
"It's really a waste of his talent to have him be the magistrate of Fengle County."
Qin Hexuan had already guessed the whole thing by now, and thought to himself that it was hard to say what Lord Wang's abilities were, but from another perspective, he could indeed be called a "talent".
However, compared with this Lord Wang, the chief constable of Fengle County Yamen is quite interesting.
I don’t know what Zhan Changsheng did to make him realize the key, but he even knew to ask someone to go back and report the news, which actually helped Wang Jianxin.
After returning home that night, Qin Hexuan told Mu Zheng everything about the incident and his own speculations.
"Why don't you just go and tell your dad."
Qin Hexuan shook his head and said, "This is not something I should ask about or care about."
The fact that he did nothing now had already caused Qin Hedong to be very dissatisfied. If he continued to interfere in the affairs of the court, it would only bring him more trouble.
Mu Zheng probably guessed what Qin Hexuan was thinking, so he sighed, pulled over a chair and sat down, saying, "Actually, your elder brother doesn't really have any bad intentions towards you.
"It's just that he's a very stupid person, and he's easily swayed by what the people around him say.
"After the last case, your father reorganized the people around him and replaced those who liked to gossip and sow discord.
"Although he is a bit stupid, he doesn't have many bad intentions."
But Qin Hexuan didn't feel relieved at all after hearing this. Instead, he said, "Father, it's for my elder brother's good, so there's nothing wrong with that.
"But after all, those people are all close and trusted people around Big Brother. Big Brother must be feeling very uncomfortable."
Mu Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and immediately realized that Qin Songyin's behavior was indeed inappropriate.
Qin Hedong is a somewhat reckless and brainless person, but he also likes to be loyal to people he trusts.
He may not blame Qin Songyin, but he will definitely blame Qin Hexuan.
"Oh, what a hassle! My brain just doesn't work anymore when I encounter these things." Mu Zheng scratched his head and said, "It seems that being alone like me is the easiest way to save trouble."
Qin Hexuan didn't care much about this. He considered himself a person with few relatives. Not to mention his eldest brother Qin Hedong, he had almost never seen his second brother Qin Heyue who was studying at the Imperial Academy except for the one time when he just came back and had dinner with the whole family.
Mrs. Qin always said that he worked hard in studying, but Qin Hexuan was too lazy to ask.
"Okay, I won't disturb you from doing your homework. I'll leave first." Seeing Qin Hexuan copying calligraphy, Mu Zheng, who had never liked reading and writing since childhood, felt sleepy and quickly got up to say goodbye and left.
After Song Tao sent Mu Zheng away outside the door, he came into the room to serve the pen and ink.
In order to accompany the sick Qingtian these days, Qin Hexuan received twice the usual amount of homework, and Mr. Wei reluctantly agreed to his request to rest for a few days.
