Quick Wear: Everyone knows I am a good person

However, neither Shu Jiao nor Zhao Yuan wanted to listen to his explanation.

Zhao Yuan waved his hand, "Drag him away, along with that group of people, and execute him by slow slicing in three days."

Zhao Yuan then named several more people for dismissal and investigation. Although the governor of Wuzhou was not involved, he could not keep his position and was directly transferred to a place of exile to serve as a county magistrate.

There was a major earthquake in the entire Wuzhou officialdom. Some were transferred, some were dismissed, and some were exiled.

In the end, the few remaining officials who could not be found to have any dirt on them were replaced, and some officials were transferred from other places.

Immediately, a letter was sent back to the capital city urgently.

"Prince, the Emperor has sent a letter!"

Zhao Zhi's hand holding the pen trembled slightly, and he subconsciously felt that something bad was going to happen.

He didn't think that his father would worry about his sons who were working hard in the capital when he was away from home.

I opened it and saw it was true!

The mission is coming!

The emperor asked him to hold a grand banquet to clean up the human trafficking.

Zhao Zhi: ...

Zhao Zhi let out a sharp explosion.

Father!

Do you think you have too many sons and want to tire two of them to death?

Slowly, Zhao Zhi turned his gaze towards Haodaer who was doing homework next to him.

"father?"

Zhao Ziyu shouted with some confusion.

Zhao Zhi smiled gently, "Ziyou, how long will it take you to finish the homework that the master has assigned to you?"

"A quarter of an hour."

"Now that you've finished writing, can you help Dad do something?"

"Okay."

Zhao Ziyu, unaware of the evil nature of human nature, agreed immediately, and then received a bunch of nonsense memorials.

"You can sort it out and see which people said what. Just write it down in one sentence and stamp it."

As he spoke, Zhao Zhi handed him a seal from the side, with two words engraved under the seal - Read.

Then, Zhao Zhi called his "good brothers" over.

They also want to put the blame of the cleanup campaign on them.

Just as several princes were about to protest, Zhao Zhi pointed at Zhao Ziyu who was reading a memorial.

My son has used it, do you think you can turn down your job?

Several princes: ...

Gan!

you are vicious!

Big brother better pray that they don't become the crown prince, otherwise I will have to throw everything back!!!

You don't want to do something, but you have to do it.

Soon, a campaign to clean up human traffickers was launched from the capital to all parts of the country. Strict investigations and crackdowns were carried out everywhere, and many human traffickers were actually caught and killed.

The people cheered and applauded.

Zhao Yuan and Shu Jiao's reputations are getting better and better.

In such an atmosphere, Shu Jiao and others finally arrived at the last stop.

Zhao Yuan and officials from the provincial government went to check the farmland.

Looking around, it's all golden.

They arrived just in time.

It's harvest time.

Zhao Yuan didn't put on airs. He changed his clothes and went to the fields. Holding a handful of rice, he felt the weight and couldn't help but smile.

The heavy rice bent the stalks, and the farmers and women in the rice fields were smiling happily, their eyes full of expectations for a better future.

"No one in my family will starve to death this year."

A simple sentence, but it expresses untold bitterness and pain.

The children followed behind, carrying small bamboo baskets and picking up rice ears. They were covered in sweat but still shaking their little heads and laughing.

Shu Jiao didn't bother them.

Whether it was sincere or a political show, she didn't need to go to the fields to work like Zhao Yuan did.

She turned to the other side and saw a girl about three or four years old sitting on the ground, guarding a wooden bucket that was half filled with water with a few mint leaves soaking in the water.

"Little girl."

Shu Jiao smiled and sat over, took out a piece of candy and handed it to her, "What's your name?"

The little girl was obviously a little reserved.

She watched Shu Jiao walk out from the group of nobles and masters. Her eyes were timid and a little afraid, but she had an unstoppable desire for sweets.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she took the candy and said carefully: "My name is Tian Xiaoya."

"Little girl."

Shu Jiao called out softly, "What are you doing here?"

"My parents and my brother are all in the fields. I'm here to watch over the water. Don't let anyone else drink it."

The weather is so hot, and cutting rice in the fields is hard work, so it's inevitable that you will feel dry and need to drink some water.

Every household brought water and placed it here for easy drinking.

"Oh? Where are your parents?"

Shu Jiao asked.

Tian Xiaoya raised her hand and pointed, "Over there."

Shu Jiao looked in the direction she pointed and asked, "How old are you this year?"

"I'm five."

Five years old?

Shu Jiao was stunned, then looked at the skinny and petite Tian Xiaoya. People would believe she was only three years old if she said she looked like this.

"Are you and your brother the only two children in your family?"

Tian Xiaoya shook her head when she heard this. "I have an older sister. Two years ago, my father sold her to a master's house as a maid. My sister got a lot of food in exchange. After she left, we had food to eat."

"I heard from mother that my sister is living well in the master's house, with enough food and good clothes every day. I also want to go to see my sister, but mother won't let me go."

Her eyes were ignorant and clear.

She didn't quite understand how pitiful it was to be sold as a slave.

She only heard her mother say that her sister was living a good life, and she felt a little envious.

"Madam, hello!"

At this point, Tian Xiaoya's mother had already rushed over, smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly pulled Tian Xiaoya away with one hand, "She was just talking nonsense, don't mind it."

This bastard, why does he tell everything to you?

The officials have said that they are not allowed to talk nonsense today.

"It doesn't matter."

Shu Jiao shook her head, "What about her sister?"

Speaking of this, Tian Xiaoya's mother couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. There was a famine two years ago, and the family didn't have a single grain of rice to eat. We had no choice but to sell her sister."

Although this is unfair to Daya, there is really nothing we can do about it.

It’s better than everyone starving to death, right?

Shu Jiao was silent for a moment, looked at the golden rice fields, and then spoke again, "Life will be much better this year."

"Yes."

Tian's mother also laughed, "We won't go hungry this year."

"If you want to bring her sister back, I can help."

Mother Tian's expression changed slightly, and then she shook her head and sighed, "Don't bother me, sir. Her sister...her sister is actually...already dead."

Their family didn't even know what was going on.

But the daughter was sent back late at night. The housekeeper said that their daughter almost killed the young master, so she was beaten to death and paid a lot of silver as compensation, and the matter was closed.

What can they do?

They are rich and powerful, so even if the matter is brought to the government, they will just have to pay some money.

They have children and parents at home, so they have to consider some things, so they can only give up.

Hearing that Tian's mother was hiding something, Shu Jiao didn't ask any further questions. She just smiled, rubbed Tian Xiaoya's head, and gave her some reward money.

She walked back slowly, looked at Zhao Yuan who had already come up, and wanted to sigh.

The mission given by the original owner...

There’s a long way to go!
