Chapter 286 Large Fraud Case

Bai Ruozhu wanted to find someone to discuss it with, but she hesitated. How was she going to explain Jiang Yichun's nonsense to her family? Will it make the family worry too?

And Jiang Yichun can't say it so clearly. It should be confidential. If she tells it, it won't be safe for Jiang Yichun and her family, right?

She thought about it all the way and finally decided to talk to her second brother.

Bai Ruozhu still went to cook for the Xie family for dinner, and Yu Hongxiu had already been to Fushou Tang. The doctor confirmed the news of her pregnancy again, but the doctor couldn't tell whether it was twins, so he could only wait and see.

Bai Ruozhu congratulated her and Mr. Xie, and after dinner, she called her second brother to go home with her. Bai Zepei raised his head and glanced at Bai Ruozhu, knowing that his sister had something to tell him.

"Second brother, there has been a lot of trouble in the old house recently, but after all, the eldest uncle and the Wang family have reconciled." Bai Zepei was studying during the day and didn't know about it. Bai Ruozhu briefly told him, including Bai Zepei. Those words Yibo said when he scared the Wang family.

Bai Zepei finally frowned, "Uncle, this will drag us down sooner or later."

"Although this matter is settled, I don't know why I am always uneasy. I seem to have a premonition that something big is going to happen in the old house." Anyway, the matter is indeed endless, so Bai Ruozhu said that it was his premonition.

"I didn't dare to tell my parents. My eldest brother is getting married soon and the family is very busy. I don't want them to worry. But you have the best solution at home. I think I should mention it to you so that my uncle doesn't get involved. us."

Bai Zepei's brows furrowed even more. He thought for a while and said, "Don't worry too much. If anything happens, my second brother will block it from the front."

Bai Ruozhu nodded. The second brother just needs to listen and be prepared. But what exactly is going on? Jiang Yichun might as well not tell it. This kind of half-telling thing is the most disturbing thing. If you want to know but still can't know, it's like a bug gnawing at your heart.

…

In a blink of an eye, the next day came. Li Shunsheng from the county government went to ask Jiang Yichun about an errand. When he entered the house, he saw no sign of Jiang Yichun, but a booklet was open on the table. He knew it was a secret and didn't want to read more. He just wanted to put down the file. Walk. As a result, he just scanned Bai Zepei's name while putting things away.

Li Shunsheng cherished talents at first, so he thought about making friends with Bai Zepei, but after getting in touch with him, he admired Bai Zepei even more. Now he is not just optimistic, but also a friend. So when he saw Bai Zepei's name, his heart suddenly lifted.

He couldn't help but continue to look at it. As a result, he almost sat down on the ground in shock. He turned around and left. He couldn't stay here any longer.

Not long after, a person jumped down from the roof beam. It was Jiang Yichun, the owner of this room. It turned out that he hid on purpose and let Li Shunsheng see the contents of the booklet.

After Li Shunsheng thought about it, he still sent someone to Xie's house and invited Mr. Xie and Bai Zepei to come over. He said that they had something urgent to discuss and asked them to come over as soon as possible.

Bai Zepei, who was studying with Mr. Xie, couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat when he heard what the official said. Could this be related to the little sister's premonition?

Mr. Xie took Bai Zepei to the county government office and soon met Li Shunsheng.

Li Shunsheng paced back and forth in the room, hesitating about how to speak and whether this would be regarded as leaking secrets, or whether he would even be dismissed. Finally, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

"Master Li, what's wrong with you? What happened?" Mr. Xie asked worriedly when he saw Master Li like this.

Mr. Li stopped, looked at the two of them and said, "It doesn't matter, I've seen them all anyway, at least I'll die."

Bai Zepei's eyelids twitched when he saw him looking like he was dying heroically, and asked, "Can it be related to me?"

Lord Li nodded, "Brother Xian is indeed smart, but unfortunately..." He sighed heavily, "I just went to deliver the file to that Lord's room, and accidentally saw his secret folder. You should know where he is. The clerk actually wrote the biggest fraud case in this county in recent years on the secret folder!"

"What? This is a major secret. Don't make yourself angry." Mr. Xie hurriedly advised.

Li Shunsheng shook his head and said: "It's too late, this matter has already been burned to Zepei. A while ago, someone exposed the questions for the Tongsheng test. Many people bought the test questions, and then passed the exam. It was written in the booklet I got the list of the perpetrators, including Zepei’s uncle Bai Yibo!”

"What?" Mr. Xie's eyes widened. He was a disciple of Fu Yin of Anxi Prefecture. How could he not think of the connection between this?

"Not only did Bai Yibo buy the test questions, but he also sold them to several people. This crime is certainly not a small one. Usually, he will have to be stripped of his honor, never be able to participate in the imperial examination, and will be exiled outside the customs. Moreover, Zepei is also jointly and severally charged, and he will also be punished. I will be deprived of my honors and will never be able to take part in the imperial examination!" Mr. Li said with tears in his eyes. He knew that it was not easy for Bai Zepei to be where he is today. How could he be implicated in such a thing?

Bai Zepei swayed, and his face turned pale, but soon his eyes became firm, he stood up straight again, and said unhurriedly: "The innocent will themselves clean up. I will go to the government office to appeal. I don't believe that no one can pay me back." just."

"It's necessary!" Mr. Li waved his hand hurriedly, "The General Administration Department has issued a secret order, but the higher-ups have decided to handle this matter privately. Not only will it be useless for you to make a fuss, but you won't even be able to see Mr. Fu Yin at all."

"What, what can we do? Zepei is truly talented, and I, my husband, can prove it best. Do we have to watch him being implicated by his uncle?" Mr. Xie was so angry that he even cursed They all yelled.

Seeing that Mr. Bai Zepei was so worried about him, Bai Zepei was very touched. Thinking about Li Shunsheng telling them such a secret at the risk of being dismissed, he also felt warm in his heart. Bai Zepei was so lucky to have such a teacher and such a teacher. What about friends?

"The top priority is that we go to that gentleman and ask him to join us in signing a letter to ask the General Secretary to reconsider Zepei's judgment." Lord Li said.

"Yes, let's go find him now." Mr. Xie was so anxious that he was about to leave.

But Bai Zepei stopped the two of them, bowed deeply to them, and said, "I, Bai Zepei, can take the name of my teacher and make friends with Brother Li. I have no regrets in this life. I can't harm you because of my affairs. What if that person If your lord is angry, I will never be able to forgive myself in this life."

"What did you kid say? Do you think you were wronged for nothing? Where is the justice?" Mr. Xie's eyes were red and there were tears in his eyes.

Li Shunsheng also patted Bai Zepei on the shoulder, "I've seen it all. I'm not afraid of getting involved. Let's go."

But Bai Zepei stopped the two of them firmly and said, "Even if I don't take the imperial examination, I, Bai Zepei, will never be hungry or cold in my life, and I will still be able to stand out one day."

——

The mystery has been revealed, have you guessed it? In fact, there were clues laid early on. The main reason is that even Mr. Bai felt that Bai Yibo had no hope of going further, but he suddenly passed the examination as a scholar. Everyone will remember it if they think about it carefully.
