Judging from Eldest Grandson Xiao's righteous indignation about the previous magistrate's corruption acts, it could be seen that he still sympathized with those who were suffering.

This meant that he was not completely hopeless.

He would use him then, it would also benefit the people.

Therefore, Xiao Hanzheng was not prepared to follow his father's wishes and make an example of Eldest Grandson Xiao.

However, he still had to reveal it and let Eldest Grandson Xiao know his second uncle's scheme and his bottom line.

Of course, if Eldest Grandson Xiao dared to do such a thing, he could still make an example out of him with other issues.

Now, he was only giving Eldest Grandson Xiao a chance to see if he would turn over a new leaf.

Shi Qingluo added, "Don't doubt it. You reported the county magistrate, but no one knew that it was General Xiao's people who did it.

"They would only think that you were spying on the county magistrate behind his back and deliberately bringing him down.

"Then when the new county magistrate comes, will he not be wary of you?

"You are showing off and displaying your dominance as a deputy magistrate. If he doesn't make an example of you, who else?

"Your second uncle has already taken this into account. When the time comes, it will be your turn to go to jail. It has nothing to do with him, so you won't be able to find trouble with him.

"When you have to beg him, he will be even more righteous and say that he will not allow his nephew to do evil. People who don't know will think that he is very selfless.

"This can even help him gain a good reputation at the northern border.

"So not only will the new county magistrate make an example of you, by killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, you will also be a stepping stone for your second uncle to build a good reputation."

She wasn't just making these up to scare Eldest Grandson Xiao.

According to her analysis of Xiao Hanzheng's scumbag father, this was definitely how he would deal with Eldest Grandson Xiao.

He could even gain a good reputation and kill two birds with one stone.

After hearing Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo's words, Eldest Grandson Xiao shuddered again.

So his second uncle was waiting for him here?

He wondered why he was so kind this time, to actually take the initiative to ask his people to help him investigate and source for evidence against that county magistrate.

After the ex-county magistrate lost his position, Old Lady Xiao asked his second uncle to help him get the position of a county magistrate.

His second uncle kept evading, and finally said that the capital had suddenly sent a new county magistrate, so there was nothing he could do.

So in fact, he wanted to harm him.

His hands were indeed dirty.

Although Eldest Grandson Xiao did not exploit the commoners, he used his position to seize a lot of land and bought them at a low price.
