Chapter 259 Little White Hair’s Food Arrives
After the villagers learned about the evil deeds done by the clan elder, they demanded that Li Zheng burn the clan elder and not bury him in the village to avoid ruining the village's feng shui. So they burned him directly and scattered the ashes around him.
At this time, the little black cat rubbed against Xiao Yuanbao's trousers and meowed a few times.
After hearing this, Xiao Yuanbao's eyes lit up.
Little White Hair’s food has arrived.
After greeting Master Masaru of Ranki Village.
The little black cat took Xiao Yuanbao and a few others and went into the cave.
We came to the underground space again. The altar was still there, and the snake corpse on the ground had been moved outside by the villagers and burned.
Xiao Yuanbao and his companions came to the small tree hole from which the little black cat had drilled out, and drilled in one by one. In the tree hole, there was a row of jars neatly arranged. Several of the jars had been opened and were lying on the ground, with the lids missing.
Little Yuanbao roughly understood that the opened jars were probably eaten by the little black cat, and the remaining unopened jars probably also contained insects.
Xiao Yuanbao took out one of the jars, and sure enough, there was a worm squirming inside, and it crawled out towards the mouth of the jar. When Xiao Baimao saw the worm crawling out, he didn't hesitate to go forward and swallowed the worm directly.
The little white-haired boy squinted his eyes while eating, looking very happy.
Liao Huaiyu saw the row of unopened jars and said, "Wow, there are so many unprocessed insects. Now Xiao Baimao and Qiuqiu will have something to eat."
The little white-haired boy glared at Liao Huaiyu and called out to him.
It seems to be saying, I worked so hard to get these worms, why should I give them to the little loach? They are all mine.
Little Yuanbao stroked Little White's head and soothed him, "Be good, let's move these jars out first, and then we can eat as much as we want. There are so many jars, we should be generous and share some with the little black cat. Without it, we wouldn't be able to find so many insects. Qiuqiu, let's share them when we get back."
"Woof...Woof" the little white-haired boy argued.
"Okay, it's a happy decision. Brother Huaiyu, get to work." Little Yuanbao ignored Little White Hair's opinion, picked up the jar and handed it out.
After a busy period of going back and forth several times, they finally finished moving all the jars.
After coming out, the villagers saw the jars filled with insects. Everyone wanted to help but no one dared to step forward for fear of being bitten by the insects. Fortunately, Goddess Liu and the Liu family were not idle and also came forward to help. They each took two trips to move all the jars to Liao Chengyi's horse.
This matter is over.
The villagers thanked Xiao Yuanbao again and again and said goodbye to Xiao Yuanbao and his group reluctantly. Xiao Yuanbao was held in the arms of Liao Chengyi, sitting astride the horse, and waved his hands vigorously at the villagers.
Liao Chengyi escorted Xiao Yuanbao and his group all the way to the town, where he met up with Sanbao and then left.
Before leaving, Liao Chengyi motioned Liao Huaiyu to come forward. After asking Liao Huaiyu the reason why he was here, he looked at the little kid in surprise, then gave Liao Huaiyu a few words and prepared to leave.
He moved his gaze to Xiao Yuanbao who was standing beside him, and said softly to him, "Xiao Yuanbao, Huaiyu is here with you, please take good care of her. When you come to the capital in the future, please let Huaiyu take you to see me. I have something else to do, so I will leave first."
Little Yuanbao was not polite and responded one by one, "Okay, Uncle Chengyi, take care, bye!!"

Ranki Village
After waiting for Xiao Yuanbao and his group to leave, Li Zheng and others began a heated discussion on how to deal with the child prodigy.
Some people want to keep it, some people want to strangle the evil creature to death right now, and some people who don't have any prodigy kids at home just watch the fun.
After discussing for a long time without reaching any conclusion, everyone could only look at Li Zheng.
Ranmu Village was thinking carefully for a moment, sighed, and said helplessly, "These divine children are controlled by the dragon whistle. Now Xiao Yuanbao and the others have left. If the divine children get out of control, our village will not be able to solve it. If these children are kept, it will be a shame for the man in charge. More importantly, if the elders have accomplices, they will definitely plot against our Ranmu Village if they find these divine children. In my opinion, we should just tie them up and kill them, and then burn their bodies with fire."
After hearing this, the villagers of Ranmu Village calmed down. Li Zhengshi was right. If they kept the matter, the disaster would be too big. They had to be ruthless and deal with it early. Otherwise, if the clan elder had accomplices, the whole village would be in great trouble.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Zheng made up his mind. After asking everyone to tie up the divine child, he hurried to the town's chief clerk to ask the soldiers to execute the divine child.
After understanding the whole story, the chief clerk sent soldiers to follow Ranki Murarimasa back to the village.
This night.
The ground of Ranki Village was covered with blood and the cries were deafening.
Great Yan State, capital.
In the palace, the emperor did not attend the morning court, but the ministers still had to go to court.
When it is time to submit a memorial, submit a memorial; when it is time to report important events, report important events.
Jiu Qiansui and Prince Duan would hold court behind the curtains and report all major events to the emperor truthfully. For minor matters, the emperor would make decisions on the spot after the two of them had discussed them.
Prince Duan is the emperor's younger brother. He has always been pure and simple, and is a leisurely and carefree royal heir.
In the past two years, Emperor Yan has been in poor health and unable to attend court.
It was not a good idea for the Nine Thousand Year Old to be the only one in charge of government affairs, so all the ministers strongly recommended that Prince Duan take up a government post. Prince Duan had no choice but to rule the country with the Nine Thousand Year Old.
Jiu Qiansui is ruthless while Prince Duan is gentle. The two complement each other and the government of the Great Yan State is in a state of balance and restraint.
At court today, someone from the Da Chu Prefecture reported that there was a drought in Kinmen County, causing serious losses, and requested the court to support disaster relief supplies. The Nine Thousand Year Old Prince believed that the Da Chu Prefecture should use the money in the treasury to provide disaster relief, as it only affected one province and the court did not need to intervene. However, Prince Duan believed that caution should be exercised.
Not only did the court need to send disaster relief supplies, it also had to send people to comfort the victims.
Drought is no small matter.
This is a great disaster.
At the same time, Mei Changyun from the National Master Hall was praised.
Fortunately, Mei Changyun, the principal of Yueyang Academy, traveled to Kinmen County for study and learned about the situation in time, otherwise the people would have been in danger.
The two men each held their own views, and in the end, the court officials voted and supported Prince Duan.
Jiu Qian Sui stormed out in anger.
After returning to his residence, Jiu Qiansui's gloomy face was full of dissatisfaction.
He cursed, "Prince Duan, you bastard, are getting more and more pretentious. The dragon veins of the Great Yan Kingdom are broken, so what can't happen? It's just a little drought demon, is there any need to be so surprised? You have to fight with me! It makes me so angry!"
The eunuch Liu Sheng, the young apprentice of the eunuch official, advised, "Master, don't be angry. Prince Duan has evil ambitions, which are becoming more and more obvious. He is trying to win the hearts of the people. He won't be able to jump around for a few more days. The luck of the royal family is gone. He was safe before because he didn't interfere in royal affairs. Now he has stretched his hands so far, the backlash will definitely befall him. By then, he will be dead. Let's see how he can be an enemy of you, Master?"
