There are too many people in the capital who have been kept in the dark, so it is no wonder that the eldest brother was kept in the dark and thought that Wu Deshen was a practical and capable official.
Xiao Cunyu revealed a hint of sarcasm. "Handled it well? That's because there wasn't a major disaster at all! The number of people affected was all falsely reported. He didn't even need to deal with it, and the disaster would have passed! He cheated the court of so much money and food, but didn't give the people a single grain of rice!"
"Brother, do you think that under such circumstances, if you go to investigate the case, can Wu Deshen still sit still?" Xiao Cunyu said again.
Xiao Jingyun's hands trembled.
"Where did you hear that?!" Xiao Jingyun was shocked.
"Well..." Xiao Cunyu's seriousness immediately disappeared, and he laughed: "A friend said..."
“…” Xiao Jingyun’s eyelids twitched.
Friends again? How many friends do you have?!
"The prince now knows about this matter, so... he asked me to go to Jiangding City, not to investigate the case of the massacre of civilians, but to find out whether the disaster in Jiangding City is true?" Xiao Jingyun asked.
"That's right." Xiao Cunyu nodded. "It's been a long time since the disaster, and the extent of the damage is certainly not obvious now. But there are still people in Jiangding. If you hear any rumors, Wu Deshen will definitely take ruthless action against you for the sake of his own career and his life."
Now you know how to be scared, right?
"No wonder!" Xiao Jingyun pounded the table in anger.
The "bang" sound scared Xiao Cunyu, and he dared not show off anymore.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been accommodating towards the other princes, rarely clashing with them. But today, he's bucked the trend and insisted on competing for the championship. I originally found it strange, but now that you've explained it, I finally understand." Xiao Jingyun was furious. "How dare Wu Deshen commit the crime of deceiving the emperor and exploiting the people! I wonder if the Duke of Wei and his family are aware of this! If..."
If you know about it, it would be a heinous crime.
"No matter what the outcome is, I only know that they will all pretend to know nothing in the future. Be it the Duke of Wei, the Queen, or Prince Rui, if they are cornered and can no longer hide it, they will just cut off their tails to survive." Xiao Cunyu was certain of this without much thought.
The Duke of Wei's family is not stupid. It is impossible for them to sacrifice their entire family for Wu Deshen.
What's more, they already have a more honorable future to fight for, so how could they give up this opportunity for Wu Deshen?
Xiao Jingyun sighed.
After the aura fell, he suddenly thought of something, then stared at Xiao Cunyu: "Seventh brother."
"Hmm?" Xiao Cunyu replied.
"Study hard!" Xiao Jingyun patted her shoulder. "You are worthy of being a child of my Xiao family. You are kind and generous to the people, and you are so intelligent. If you read more books of sages and learn some rules and etiquette, your father and I will find you an official position in the future so that you can display your talents..."
Xiao Cunyu jumped back: "Don't even think about it! I haven't lived enough!"
After saying that, Xiao Cunyu ran away.
If Wu Deshen hadn't done something so unethical, would she have exposed her abilities?!
As expected, she knew that her elder brother wished that she could be like the other members of the Xiao family, and sacrifice her life for the court and the world, even if it meant dying of exhaustion!
Xiao Cunyu left without any reluctance, leaving Xiao Jingyun with a helpless smile, and then went to his father's yard to discuss important matters.
The house was very quiet for the next few days.
My eldest brother has been appointed by the emperor as an inspector. After handing over the affairs in hand, he will go to Jiangding City to supervise this case.
His eldest brother was too busy to be seen, and the annoying brother and sister were no longer in the house. Xiao Cunyu felt extremely relaxed both physically and mentally.
