A little devil has arrived at the Marquis's mansion, and all the powerful officials in the cour

Inside Dali Temple.

Su Xuance frowned as he looked at the case that his subordinates had just presented to him.

This case seems simple, yet it is full of mysteries.

In the east of the city, a family lost three people overnight. The only survivors were the mother, He, and her daughter, Zou Lingyu.

Ms. He reported the case to the authorities, accusing her daughter of being the murderer, but there was no evidence.

"Sir, why don't we just arrest Zou Lingyu and torture her severely? She'll naturally tell the truth," said Registrar Gu from the side.

Su Xuance shook his head: "Without evidence, we cannot conclude that she is the murderer. He may also be lying."

Registrar Gu sighed and was about to speak when the window suddenly opened.

There's no wind today!

He looked over in surprise and saw a small yellow paper figure swagger down from the windowsill and climb onto the table.

"My lord, this...this..." Registrar Gu pointed at the small paper figure, speechless with astonishment.

What shocked him even more was...

The little paper figure can even talk.

"Father, it's me, Renbao! Come to the Zhou residence immediately! He's a corrupt official!" The little paper figure stood on the table, spoke to Su Xuance, and then turned to ashes.

The sound it made was exactly the same as Compal's.

Su Xuance immediately stood up: "Let's go to the Zhou residence first!"

Inside the study of the Zhou residence.

The atmosphere gradually heated up, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Renbao and Liushang, some were attracted and some were weighing their options.

Renbao was a little confused as to why they changed their minds so quickly. One moment they were gritting their teeth in hatred towards Zhou Xunshi, and the next they were staring at her and Sister Yishang with predatory eyes.

"Do you dare to come forward and try?" Liu Shang protected Ren Bao, the venomous snake in her hand with its vertical pupils cold and its body standing upright.

The crowd was intimidated and dared not step forward.

Inspector Zhou's eyes darted around, then he pointed at Liu Shang: "Look! She has the Five Poisons on her; she's an evil person. Today, either they die, or we do!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the venomous snake's triangular head immediately turned towards him, its scarlet tongue flicking in and out wildly.

Zhou Xunshi was so frightened that he kept backing away.

The crowd was in uproar and dared not move forward any further.

Renbao patted the snake's head, showing no panic. In her childish voice, she said, "Little snake, don't be angry with me. Wait for my daddy to come and deal with the bad guys."

Inspector Zhou: ...

They outnumbered the child, but the little boy wasn't afraid at all.

His heart began to pound.

If we wait for Su Xuance to arrive, it will be completely over.

They didn't dare to make a move, so he did!

Zhou Xunshi drew a sharp sword from the guard's waist, his eyes flashing, and aimed it at Renbao's heart.

He was determined to teach this arrogant little brat a lesson that some people are not to be trifled with!

Upon seeing this, everyone suddenly awoke from their daze.

They were fooled by Inspector Zhou. Renbao was the current Junior Celestial Master. If something happened to her at the Zhou residence, could they, as witnesses, escape?

Before Zhou Xunshi could take a step forward, he was grabbed tightly by them.

"Lord Zhou, please don't act rashly!"

Zhou Xunshi's pupils contracted sharply. He tried to move his hands, but found he couldn't break free at all. He roared, "What are you doing!"

"If you want to die, don't drag us down with you!"

The crowd criticized.

They've lost their minds! Money is nothing compared to life!

Besides, Inspector Zhou is a corrupt official. If they really harm Renbao to get silver as he instigated, how are they any different from him?

Renbao gestured to Liushang to place her on the table.

Liu Shang did as instructed.

"Good children know how to admit their mistakes and correct them. I forgive you. I won't remember your ugly faces just now!" Renbao said, standing on the table like a little adult.

The crowd looked somewhat dazed.

Is it right to be lectured by a three-year-old?

"Renbao!" Su Xuance arrived with his men and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was alright.

Upon seeing the Zhou family's treasury, his gaze turned cold, and he turned to look at Inspector Zhou.

Registrar Gu searched the study and found an account book containing records of various amounts of silver.

There was money plundered from the people's hard-earned money, and there was also relief money allocated by the imperial court for locust plagues, bridge repairs, and disaster-stricken areas!

Zhou Xunshi was just one of the small fry.

"Lord Zhou, I will report the truth to His Majesty."

Su Xuance's cold voice rang in Zhou Xunshi's ears.

He lowered his head: "I plead guilty."

...

Inside the palace, the emperor stared at the letters sent from the border with a worried expression.

There was a shortage of food and money, and the national treasury was depleted, making it difficult to support military needs.

The Kou Kingdom was eyeing the border cities of Dayong with covetous intent, and was poised to conquer them.

The emperor was in a bad mood. He pulled out a list of court officials and wondered who to target.

"Your Majesty." Eunuch Li hurried in without making a sound. He leaned down beside the emperor and whispered, "The Little Celestial Master went to the Zhou residence early this morning, seized his treasury, and said he was a corrupt official."

Lord Su has already inventoried all the evidence of Inspector Zhou's embezzlement, as well as the contents of his mansion's treasury, totaling 350,000 taels of silver.

The emperor's imposing aura suddenly plummeted, and he roared, "Well done, Inspector Zhou!"

His eyes gleamed with a sharp light; he was just worrying when the silver was delivered to his door.

Renbao was truly a lucky star for the Yongzheng Emperor!

"Summon the young celestial master to the palace." After saying this, the emperor looked at Eunuch Li and said, "Go to the Su residence and invite him personally."

"Yes."

While Eunuch Li was heading to the Su residence, at the same time, in a quiet mansion in the capital.

darkroom.

An elderly man dressed in a simple robe, similar to a Taoist robe, was practicing calligraphy. He looked kind and gentle, and exuded a sense of tranquility.

The door was pushed open, and a figure in black walked in.

"Grandfather, Inspector Zhou has been dismissed from his post."

The candlelight cast his shadow long and thin.

The old man's hand, which was about to write, suddenly stopped. When he looked up, his eyes were sharp, but his voice was very soft: "Who is investigating him?"

"No one investigated him. He was Renbao, the youngest daughter of the second branch of the Su family who had left the Marquis's mansion. The first thing she said to Inspector Zhou at the Zhou mansion was the word 'corrupt official.'" The man sat down opposite him and slowly poured tea.

The old man put down his pen: "It's that young celestial master. He's quite capable for his age."

He slowly picked up his teacup and took a sip.

"The Zhou family is going to be abandoned." The man refilled his tea. "I saw her once in the Treasure Pavilion. She has discerning eyes, is innocent and naive, and speaks without restraint."

The old man smiled and said, "A three-year-old child is indeed naive. Su Xuance's leg ailment was cured, and he was able to return to officialdom, all thanks to his good daughter. Countless people in the court are jealous of him."

The man sensed a hidden meaning in his words: "What Grandfather means is..."

The old man picked up his brush and wrote words on the white paper.

The man looked over.

"The tallest tree in the forest will surely be felled by the wind."

A sinister glint flashed in the old man's eyes: "Give that little celestial master a boost, and the higher he's lifted, the harder he'll fall."

"Understood. The Zhou family's account books have nothing to do with us, Grandfather, please rest assured."

...

"Uncle Emperor." Before Renbao even entered the Golden Palace, that strong, childlike voice had already reached inside.

The emperor's lips curled up as he noticed Renbao was wearing a black and red ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, Renbao, you've changed into that old-fashioned black ruqun today?"

Renbao paused at his small figure as he ran towards her: "I'm not old at all! You're the old one, Uncle Emperor, you wear yellow clothes every day!"
