Chi Xingyue was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and stuffed the two fat boys into the arms of their grandparents.
The old lady and the old man loved their great-grandson so much that they wanted to take him away and keep him by their side.
Seeing that it was getting late, the old lady waved her hand and said, "Let's go. Don't delay and find a place to stay tonight."
Chi Xingyue's eyes suddenly became sore, and she tried hard to control her tears from falling.
He raised his hand and hugged the old lady: "Grandma, wait for Ji Heng and I to come back!"
The old lady raised her hand to wipe away her tears: "Okay, your grandfather and I will live well and see the day when our family is reunited!"
The atmosphere of farewell flowed in everyone's blood. As the convoy set off, no one spoke.
Even the twins, who are usually lively and cheerful, were silent.
When she found that no one was paying attention to her, her mouth pursed and she burst into tears.
Shu Muyun and Ling Weicheng quickly hugged the child, comforting him softly and teasing him with toys and snacks.
The little guy was distracted and burped, staring at the delicious food in his grandparents' hands.
Chi Xingyue and Ling Jiheng were sitting in another car, snuggling together with their fingers clasped together.
No one mentioned the old man and the old lady, which made me feel uncomfortable.
It was not until the evening, when they checked into the inn, that Ling Jiheng said, "Don't worry, my uncle, aunt, and my third uncle and aunt will take good care of grandpa and grandma."
How could Chi Xingyue not know this? He was just used to living together as a family.
The separation came so suddenly that she couldn't accept it for a while.
He replied to Ling Jiheng: "My uncle and aunt are here too. If there is anything, they will write to us."
That’s right, Shu Xuhong and Ge Jinglan did not leave. They chose to stay in Beijing for Shu Rui’s studies.
Ling Jiheng smiled and raised his hand to rub Chi Xingyue's hair.
Under the candlelight, I suddenly felt that she was more mature and charming than before.
Yes, they have been married for eight or nine years, so it is not an exaggeration to say that they are an old married couple.
But the feelings last forever.
Unfortunately, I can’t be so carefree outside and can only suppress my little thoughts.
We rested early and set out before daybreak. It took us nearly a month to reach Qinzhou.
The local customs here are completely different from those in Youzhou.
The wind and sand were so strong that even in the car, you could smell the earthy smell.
Ling Jiheng did not rush into the city, but sent someone to inquire about the news.
The group set up camp dozens of miles away from Qinzhou. They took out the food from the car and wanted to make a delicious meal, but they found that they couldn't even find a river.
Finally, I quickly made a pot of dumpling soup to fill my stomach.
Chi Xingyue felt that the twins were a little wilted, so he carried them back to the carriage and found two bunches of cherries from the secret compartment.
The twins' eyes suddenly lit up, and they said sweetly, "Thank you, Mommy," before stretching out their little paws to reach for the cherries.
However, as soon as he caught it in his hands, he looked up and asked, "Mom, can you give some to grandpa and grandma?"
Chi Xingyue was very pleased, but it was difficult to explain the origin of this thing.
Then he shook his head and said, "You guys eat first, I'll bring it to grandpa and grandma later."
If you can't give fresh food, give dried food. There is always a way to supplement vitamins for everyone.
Ling Jiheng thought he could enter the city quickly, but he ended up staying there for two days and three nights.
It was not until the third day that the people in Qinzhou were notified of his arrival.
They marched into the city in a mighty procession, and only when they arrived at the government office did people hurried out to greet them.
Ling Jiheng smiled broadly, not angry at all, and packed his luggage with his family.
The yamen runner thought the person coming was a pushover, so his attitude changed 180 degrees, and he spoke in a sarcastic and perfunctory tone.
Ling Jiheng sent the man away in a gentle tone, his face darkening, and he asked someone to check the local power distribution to see who was behind the trouble.
However, he did not completely rely on Ling Yi and the others. He entered the space that night and stayed in the household registration department for three hours, sorting out the complicated interpersonal relationships in Qinzhou.
Then he had a seizure.
First, he set up a scheme to stir up conflict between the two forces, and then stepped forward to act as a mediator.
After several attempts, he successfully broke into the small group, caught the other group of people with something vulnerable, and wiped them out.
The party that accepted Ling Jiheng was quite happy, but not long after, accidents happened one after another.
Although it was not a life-threatening incident, they always felt like a big hand was strangling their fate by the scruff of the neck.
Even the slowest-witted person would realize that it was a trap set by Ling Jiheng.
They realized it later, but it was already too late to resist.
He could only go to the government office and surrender to Ling Jiheng.
Ling Jiheng didn't make things difficult for them. After all, even a rabbit bites when it is cornered.
These people were just a little greedy, but no one was killed, so there is room for reform.
In this way, they were "recruited".
From then on, Ling Jiheng's work was much more smoothly carried out, as he was able to hit the target wherever he was told.
As for those yamen runners who were just sitting there doing nothing, they were also fired and a new group was recruited.
Because the job was promoted through competition and the salary was linked to performance, he was able to clear up the bad practices in the government office and let the people of Qinzhou see his determination to rectify the administration of officials.
In addition, Chi Xingyue also took people to conduct investigations everywhere.
After fully understanding the geographical conditions of Qinzhou, we tried to grow drought-resistant soybeans and corn here.
We also have apple trees, covering over 100 mu. If the harvest is good, we can expand the scale.
When the people of Qinzhou saw that the government had taken such a big action, they did not take it seriously at first.
It was not until the following year, when the fields had a good harvest and the golden fruits were sent to the capital, that they realized that the person who had returned was an honest and good official!
They met Ling Jiheng at the gate of the government office and asked him if he needed their help.
Speaking of this, it is true.
As the saying goes, "If you want to get rich, build roads first." He used part of the tax revenue to recruit people to improve transportation.
The people of Qinzhou did not understand, but they supported it wholeheartedly.
One by one, they took the initiative to sign up at the government office, and then followed the instructions and worked hard.
The people in Youzhou were also shocked.
After receiving Ling Jiheng's memorial, Emperor Ruikang locked himself in the palace for the entire afternoon.
The next morning at the court, he praised Ling Jiheng highly.
When the plump soybeans and corn were shown to the court officials, many old officials immediately changed their expressions.
Feeling that his position is precarious.
However, Emperor Ruikang only issued an edict to praise Ling Jiheng, without even giving him any reward, and asked him to keep up the good work.
The ministers in the court were confused. After the court session, they went to teahouses in groups of three or five to drink tea and chat. Inevitably, they talked about the "favored" Ling Jiheng.
"What do you think His Majesty meant?"
They said they valued him, but they sent him so far away. Despite such a great achievement, they didn't even mention a promotion or anything.
He said he didn't take it seriously, but he deliberately boasted about it in front of the court officials, as if he was the only one who had great potential among so many officials.
Everyone was silent for a while, and finally only the sound of slurping tea remained.
Ling Jiheng had no idea how much impact he had brought to the court, and he developed the economy step by step.
As for the case, with Chi Xingyue's help, it can always be closed in a short time.
He made no mistakes, which convinced the local people and made them praise him as an upright judge.
