Xie Zhun took the report from her hand, put it aside, and smiled faintly without saying a word.
Ning Xi'er suddenly realized.
Yes!
Since showing it to Eunuch Xu would only make things worse, why show it to him at all?
It would be better to just tell him the conclusion.
Presenting Eunuch Xu with paper and binding methods he had never seen before would only arouse his suspicion.
Ning Xi'er didn't hold back, which only confirmed that Xu Yan and Eunuch Xu were not related as uncle and nephew...
Perhaps in Eunuch Xu's heart, there was still a sliver of hope that Ning Xi'er would spare Xu Yan's life out of consideration for him...
Ning Xi'er didn't, which actually confirmed the message she wanted to convey...
Ning Xi'er sighed softly, naturally thinking of the original owner's scumbag father.
"Do you want to kill him?"
Xie Zhun hugged her and asked.
Ning Xi'er was at a loss for words.
If it were the original owner, she definitely would have.
Based on current speculation, the original owner's mother's "illness" is also related to him.
There was also my maternal grandfather's family, and my two older brothers...
He either plotted something or tacitly approved of Madam Chen's actions...
She will not let him off the hook in the end, but as for how far she will go, she will have to find out everything first.
Xie Zhun pulled her closer to him, his voice unusually gentle, "Don't be afraid! It's alright, leave it to me, I'll handle it!"
"Whoever you want to kill, leave it to me."
Her eyes suddenly felt hot; it was probably the first time in her past and present lives that someone had made such a promise to her, and treated her with such tenderness.
Ning Xi'er finally raised her hands and gently stroked Xie Zhun's back. The two embraced tightly.
But Ning Xi'er quickly let go and got down to business.
Xie Zhun was reassigned by her and lay down on the bed, feeling inexplicably lost as he listened to Ning Xi'er continue.
Ning Xi'er told Xie Zhun about her cooperation with Xue Lin and Liao Yueming during her time in Yongning.
They stated frankly that the two intend to cooperate long-term in the future.
Xie Zhun nodded, and based on the information Qin Yuan had brought back earlier, he also felt that Xue Lin was capable of great use.
Helping Yongning spread the news of the plague, besides putting pressure on the government, also served the purpose of protecting Xue Lin, as Ning Xi'er had predicted.
Otherwise, he would be isolated and powerless, unable to defend himself, and because of Xie Zhun, he might suffer an unjust accusation and even become a victim of the knife.
However, once the truth was spread, even if he was not promoted, the court would still reward him in other ways to appease the people.
Those who, while seemingly helping, are actually spreading the plague will see Xue Lin as a thorn in their side and will absolutely not allow him to grow in power...
Therefore, Xie Zhun predicted that Xue Lin would likely remain in his original position, but the court would reward him with gold and silver.
"Indeed, after being devastated by the plague, everything is in ruins and needs rebuilding. Changing the leadership at this time could easily cause unrest among the people..."
Ning Xi'er's evaluation.
Xie Zhun approvingly flicked her nose.
Ning Xi'er told Xie Zhun about the winemaking.
Xie Zhun was slightly surprised, but quickly regained his composure.
After all, he had seen far too many strange and unusual things in Ning Xi'er, far too many things beyond this world...
It's not surprising that Ning Xi'er possesses superb brewing skills.
Ning Xi'er didn't keep him in suspense and explained her plans to him in detail.
After listening, Xie Zhun praised, "You've planned ahead and have a long-term vision. Excellent!"
Ning Xi'er then told Xie Zhun about asking Liao Yueming to help her find the person, wanting to hear his opinion.
Although the situation in the desolate realm is still unclear, it's likely that we'll need to use the treasures in our spatial storage in the future...
They always have to be on guard against people. What if they get seen? After all, there are people everywhere who are wary of them. How can they explain it?
Therefore, Ning Xi'er plans to find a "scapegoat"!
Before leaving, she asked Liao Yueming to help her find a wealthy and famous charlatan from the states of Qi or Jin, someone unfamiliar to the people of Yan...
Simply by using spatial resources, all the "credit" is attributed to this person...
This person isn't a sucker; Ning Xi'er will give him some benefits—it's a win-win situation!
Xie Zhun smiled, which could be considered tacit approval.
With the struggle against the person sitting on the throne and those behind him having reached this point, what is there left to worry about?
Even if we were to be exposed, so what?
At worst, we'll both suffer heavy losses, and both sides will perish!
Ning Xi'er saved over a million people in Yongning. Xie Zhun had already thought things through when his life was in danger.
He used to disregard and despise that position...
But if others, out of fear of him, use the power that comes with his position to ignore the profound suffering he brings to the people, and disregard the exploitation and oppression of the common people by officials...
Even if he doesn't covet this position, he will still take responsibility and rightfully reclaim the position that belongs to him!
Protect the people of the world, and protect the people you truly care about!
