Chapter 236 Big Brother’s Backing is Too Strong
Zong Jincheng rolled his eyes at him and said, "Are you crazy or am I? I'm just a nine-year-old kid who has never learned martial arts. Do I have the ability to kill all of you?"
He Zheng's face fell even more: "So if you have it, will you really kill all of us? You really won't leave me alone, brother? I am your most loyal little brother!"
Zong Jincheng: “…”
The little devil pointed at his head and said, "Go see the court doctor. I think there's something wrong with you."
He Zheng continued to shed tears.
Zong Jincheng had already bypassed his convulsive younger brother and went to look for a book to read.
After He Zheng finished his show, he looked at the three good officials in the distance and silently broke into a cold sweat for them. Jokes aside, the big brother was too strong, and their good official group was definitely finished.
Not long after, the little devil came back with the book and continued reading the life of the bad official.
As he read, he muttered in a low voice: "Zhao Gao, Liang Ji, Yuan Zai, Cai Jing... these people's homes were searched after their deaths, and a lot of money was found. Where did all the money go?"
He Zheng also came over to take a look, and then joined the discussion: "Of course it is to be added to the national treasury. It can be used for disaster relief, raising troops, and improving people's livelihood. There are many uses for money. The corrupt officials took away all the money they had accumulated in their lifetime of greed. It must be a waste of their work. It must be so mad at them."
The little devil thought: "So is it possible that the pigs are fattened and ready to be slaughtered?"
He Zheng widened his eyes: "!!!"
"Brother! This is impossible! What kind of good person would allow corrupt officials to be supported? Isn't this aiding and abetting evil?"
The little devil also felt that this was a little unreasonable. How could the court deliberately support corrupt officials? He shook his head and said, "Then I will think about it again."
In this debate, all the children were unprecedentedly engaged. Zong Wenxiu, a member of the three good officials group, took the lead in researching the life of the good official, while the other two cobblers, relying on their desire to win, also followed suit in the research and discussion.
The situation with the Little Devil and He Zheng was even more weird. Zong Jincheng would say a few words from time to time, and He Zheng would scream every now and then. It was unknown what he said scared him.
"If you yell again, I'll join them in a group of three." The little devil couldn't stand it anymore and issued an ultimatum.
He Zheng quickly raised one hand in surrender and covered his mouth with the other, but his shocked eyes were still sparkling and wide open.
Xu Wan was laughing as she watched from outside the window. When Jin Cheng was lost in thought, his face was stern, unlike his usual playful and cheerful look. It was as if he had grown up all of a sudden. It could be predicted that when he grows up, he will be a person who gives people a strong sense of security.
The sense of accomplishment of raising a child reaches its peak at this moment.
The early summer evening breeze blew in, bringing a cool breeze amidst the slight heat. Xu Wan said to Cuizhi, "Tomorrow is the day when the prince comes to the palace once a month. I wonder if he will open the small stove for Jincheng."
Cuizhi exclaimed, "Didn't the prince come here to chat with Master Cheng and listen to his bragging?"
Xu Wan: “…”
Okay, just like you.
However, this news made Wei and Shen very happy. No matter how Zong Jincheng boasted to the prince for a whole day, he was not prepared for the debate on this day and would definitely lose the day after tomorrow.
The little devil got up early in the morning, yawned, and then said to Pan Hongzhi: "Master, I dreamed yesterday that I became Liang Ji. The upright ministers in the court impeached me every day, openly and secretly scolding me as a domineering general, and the people threw rotten vegetable leaves at my door. It was really annoying, so I killed them all."
Pan Hongzhi: “…”
How come you still dream about experiencing the life of a bad official?
Zong Jincheng continued, "After I died, I saw that the court had confiscated a lot of silver from my house. They said there were 3 billion taels, which was half of the entire tax revenue of the court. I was so rich."
Pan Hongzhi's mouth twitched as he said, "Wake up, that's Liang Ji, not you."
The little devil murmured, "What a fat pig..."
Pan Hongzhi: “?”
What's going on? Why is this about pigs again?
After saying this, Zong Jincheng stood up from the bed, smiling, like the most arrogant young master in the world again: "Get up, get up, His Highness is coming to see me, I'm so happy! Hahaha, oh oh yeah yeah!"
Pan Hongzhi: “…”
I often wonder if I am too old because I can't keep up with your train of thought.
It was the same familiar routine again, the little devil directed Shunzi to find new clothes for him to change. As he grew older, his clothing size had to change every year, so his new clothes never stopped changing, and every piece he got was a style Pan Hongzhi had never seen before, just like shopping in a clothing store at home.
The little devil picked out a green robe today, which was simple and elegant, and well-behaved. Like a little green grape, he skipped out of the door to wait for His Highness.
Pan Hongzhi smiled helplessly in the house. Seeing the child happy every day, he, a bachelor, actually experienced the joy of raising a child. Pan Hongzhi began to look forward to the end of two years later, when he would get married and have his own child to play with.
Not long after the Wufang case was over, Zong Jincheng thought that His Highness would be too busy dealing with the aftermath to pay attention to him, but unexpectedly, His Highness still came on time. It turned out that His Highness liked him very much.
"Your Highness!" The little boy standing at the door of the Marquis' Mansion ran over excitedly.
The prince was wearing a moon-white robe today, with a faint smile on his face. He got off the carriage and walked over, reaching out to touch the kid's hair and said, "Why don't you go to the study and wait for me?"
Zong Jincheng smiled and said, "I miss you. I can't wait to see you. I can't wait even a moment!"
The smile on the prince's face deepened. He held the boy's hand and walked towards the mansion: "You are good at choosing nice words to say. Is it true or false?"
My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
Zong Jincheng jumped up and down and said, "Of course it's true. I say nice things not to please anyone, but because if I like something and feel happy, I should express it bravely. This way everyone will be happy!"
The prince nodded: "That makes sense. I still need to learn more from you."
"Okay, okay, I can also teach Your Highness." Zong Jincheng laughed even more exaggeratedly, not knowing how to say the word "humility" at all.
With the arrival of the prince, everyone else was used to it. Wei and Shen's legs subconsciously weakened. Although Zong Wenxiu had already said in advance that the prince's arrival would exempt everyone from kneeling every time, they still swallowed subconsciously.
The prince... that's the prince...
He comes to see Jincheng on a fixed day every month. What else could they be but father and son?
Shen Yibai's desire to overthrow the boss finally weakened a little at this moment.
Forget it, forget it.
It’s impossible, it’s really impossible, big brother’s backing is too strong.
As for the other two teachers, Zhao Yin had not had the chance to tell them about this matter because they had just arrived. Now when they looked up, they both lay paralyzed on the ground, scared to death.
"Is the key class in the Marquis' Mansion... so exciting?" Xu Jin asked stutteringly.
The prince comes in person, and visits once a month.
That's the crown prince, the heir apparent of a country, the future emperor.
Jiang Yan took a deep breath, supported by the table and slowly stood up: "Calm down, calm down, I have participated in the palace examination. Brother Xu, you need to calm down, this is nothing, get up quickly."
Xu Jin silently added: "Brother Jiang, you hold my arm down, I can't get up."
Jiang Yan: “…”
Sorry, I'm still too nervous.
