Quick Transmigration: Pangu is Actually My Brother

Chapter 291 The World of Famine Relief (10)

"Hey, could you give me a hint?" The old man felt that the little kid sitting in the head seat was too scary. Don't think that just because he's old he can't sense the murderous aura.

“I have a vague recollection!” said a man around fifty years old with a piercing scar on his face. He was the same man Zhou Dali had mentioned who seemed to be a general.

"Tell me more!"

"Thirty years ago, my grandfather passed away. My younger sister, Consort Lin, was about to give birth, but she still left the palace to see him off. Unexpectedly, my sister was disturbed that day and had to wait to give birth at the General's Mansion. That night, the rain was particularly heavy and the situation was very chaotic. In addition, my sister died in childbirth. By the time I realized what had happened, the baby was already a month old."

"That explanation seems plausible. You must be the invincible General Lin, right?" Wangyou asked with a smile.

"My name is Lin Zhantian. As for being invincible, that's too kind. If I were truly invincible, how could I have ended up in this state today?" Lin Zhantian's tone was full of self-deprecation.

"Is it possible that this isn't your fault, but rather the old man's? But how can you be sure my father is your sister's child?"

“She looks a lot like my sister, exactly like her when she was young,” Lin Zhantian said, pointing at Xie Qingxi.

"That's my fourth sister, Xie Qingxi!"

"Qingxi greets General Lin." Xie Qingxi bowed slightly to Lin Zhantian upon hearing this.

"It's so similar, it's really too similar!" Lin Zhantian couldn't help but burst into tears.

"I wonder if General Lin would be willing to serve me?" Wangyou asked with a smile.

"me?"

"Yes, I heard that on the day Shengjing fell, you were falsely accused by this old man and were about to be imprisoned. In your haste, you even protected the old man and helped him escape. Now, are you willing to join my ranks and fight on the battlefield again in the future!"

"I...I'm willing!" Lin Zhantian didn't hesitate. Following this old man was his duty as a subject, but now that his sister's biological son had been found, to hell with loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.

Wangyou hadn't expected General Lin to be so efficient, but she liked him even more now.

"According to seniority, I should call you my maternal great-uncle!" Wangyou said uncertainly.

“If it’s true, then he should definitely be called my maternal great-uncle!” He Wenlan added.

"Xie Wangyou greets her great-uncle!" Wangyou stood up and said with a smile.

"Xie Qingqu (Ci, Tian, ​​Xi, Gui) greets his maternal great-uncle!" Wangyou acknowledged him, and the others readily accepted their kinship.

“Father, you may not acknowledge your biological father, but you can still acknowledge your uncle. He discovered long ago that he was an imposter and has been looking for you all these years,” Wangyou said, turning to Xie Zhian.

“Since you’ve all acknowledged him, how could your father not?” Xie Zhi’an smiled, knowing that his daughter had witnessed Lin Zhantian’s entire life. Without any hesitation, she stepped forward and acknowledged him as her uncle.

"No, why won't he acknowledge me? I'm his biological father!"

"This is Grand Tutor Wenzhao, a famous Confucian scholar, right?"

"Greetings, City Lord Xie!"

"Would you be willing to join my school and change your master?" Wen Zhao was a famous Confucian scholar, but he also had an exceptionally bad temper and a particularly sharp tongue. Scholars could insult others without using vulgar language, and Wang You desperately needed someone like him.

However, Wangyou didn't expect to win him over with just a few words. Good things take time, and she could always make a few more trips later.

"I am honored by the city lord's high regard, and I am willing!" Wen Zhao had been observing the city on his way in. Although he hadn't seen much, it was enough to shock him. Even when Tianchen Kingdom was at its strongest, he had never seen such peaceful people.

The people of Yongding Prefecture were in such good spirits that he had never seen anything like it in his life, which was enough to show the ability of the people who governed this city.

Wangyou glanced at Wenzhao in surprise. She hadn't expected that this seventy-year-old man could still be so adaptable. She had been prepared to be scolded, but this time she was completely stumped.

But this is good, it saves her the trouble of spending time on it later.

"Second Brother, why don't you invite your teacher to sit down over there!" Wangyou said with a smile.

Xie Qingci had also heard of Wen Zhao's reputation. He had previously thought the old man was dead and felt sorry for him, but now it was perfect.

Xie Qingci happily helped Wen Zhao sit down to the side, with Lin Zhantian on either side.

"Wen Zhao, how could you betray us too!" The old man was furious, but no one paid him any attention.

Wangyou looked at the remaining people: a former Minister of Revenue, a senior eunuch who served the emperor, and a woman who appeared to be the old man's former empress or concubine.

"Jiang Xun, the former Minister of Revenue, was known as a miser, extremely stingy, but he was a master at accounting." Wangyou muttered for a moment, then looked at Xie Qingtian, "Third Sister, this guy is exactly your type, should we take him in?"

"Keep it. Little sister, you must have some special skills to read it out. It just so happens that our national treasury is getting more and more money, so we really need to find a few people to manage the accounts," Xie Qingtian said seriously.

“Alright, then Jiang Xun, would you be willing to assist my third sister in managing the national treasury?”

"Your subject is willing!" Jiang Xun did not refuse. Didn't he see that General Lin and Lord Wen agreed readily? He wasn't stupid.

"Alright, then you can come with my third sister!"

"Fourth Sister, can you cure the poison on those guards?"

"Don't worry, it's a minor problem!"

"You are all secret guards, so I won't name you one by one. My fourth sister can cure your poison. Would you like to stay?"

"Can it really detoxify?"

"Of course, you don't even know who I am. I'm known as the Little Poison Doctor," Xie Qingxi said proudly.

"We'd die a thousand deaths if it could cure the poison in our bodies!" The leader of the guards knelt down first and said.

"Alright, get up and come with me!" Xie Qingxi left with four bodyguards.

"Big brother, second brother, third sister, why don't you take them downstairs and tidy them up too!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Qingqu, Xie Qingci, and Xie Qingtian left with Lin Zhantian, Wen Zhao, and Jiang Xun.

Only the elderly couple, a eunuch, and Wangyou and Xie Zhi'an remained at the scene.

"Father, do you still acknowledge this father?" When no one was around, Wangyou asked again.

"Wangyou, go ahead and do your thing. I'll take care of them!" Xie Zhian said with a smile.

"Alright, then you and Mom can decide for yourselves, I'm off." Wangyou skipped and hopped out of the courtyard to find Xie Yuchen.

Then, as she was leaving, she bumped into Xie Yuchen, who was rushing over.

"My nose!" Wangyou felt as if she had bumped into a rock, making her nose ache.

"Are you alright? Let me see!" Xie Yuchen quickly grabbed Wangyou's hand and saw that Wangyou's nose was indeed a little red.

Why are you in such a hurry?

"I just came back with the team and heard that our dad has been found, so I came to see him right away."

“Everything’s been resolved. Let me tell you…” Wangyou pulled Xie Yuchen out the door and told him everything that had happened that day.

"This is a bit of a soap opera; a prince and a farmer's son could actually be switched."

"Yeah, I think so too. I was completely shocked when I heard that. I just don't know how my dad will deal with that old man." Wangyou sighed. "By the way, how's it going with the inquiries I asked you to make about the most powerful groups right now?"

“I’ve found out. There is indeed a woman named Zhou Baozhu, as you mentioned. She’s in the south, with Hezhou. She’s the imposter Third Prince. The family is finally reunited…” Xie Yuchen told Wangyou while also giving her the information he had collected over this period.
