Chapter 287 Before the Storm

"Okay!" Mr. Xie couldn't help but cheer. He was worthy of being his student. Even he admired his ambition from the bottom of his heart.

However, his applause did not mean that he agreed not to intercede for Bai Zepei. With a happy smile on his face, he said: "You have this ambition, and I am proud of you as a teacher. But if we scholars cannot express our grievances, we will watch others for the sake of our future." If you are wronged and dare not speak out, then it is better not to read this book, and you will not be able to enter the official career!"

"Yes, I will take care of this matter, otherwise what's the point of being an official?" Li Shunsheng said and took off his black gauze hat.

Bai Zepei is not a person who writes his emotions on his face. Whether he is happy or sad, he is used to hiding it in his heart. But at this moment, he can't hide it anymore. Tears fell from his eyes. He can know Xie Dun and Li Shunsheng, and his life is not in vain. .

At this time, there was a sound of clapping from behind, and the three of them were all startled. They hurriedly turned their heads and saw that it was Jiang Yichun wearing a mask standing at the door.

Li Shunsheng hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Your Excellency, I believe you all know that this official violated the rules and read your excerpt without permission. Please punish me, but please also uphold justice for Bai Zepei. He is young and promising, and has excellent literary talent. He should not His future was ruined because of his clan’s fault.”

Jiang Yichun was not in a hurry to speak. He stared at Li Shunsheng coldly. The three of them could not see his mood or anger, and they couldn't help but become nervous.

"Sir, it is the student who is unlucky. He should not have impeded Mr. Li and Mr. Li. Please be lenient. I admit this crime." Bai Zepei bowed to Jiang Yichun and said respectfully.

"Zepei!"

"Good brother!"

Li Shunsheng and Mr. Xie both shouted, how can you admit to such a crime? Besides, it obviously has nothing to do with him.

Bai Zepei smiled bitterly. The nine clans were all guilty. What's more, he and Bai Yibo entered the examination room together. Bai Yibo bought the test questions in advance and cheated, and he took the exam. It must be said that he did not know the questions in advance from Bai Yibo. , who among ordinary people would believe it?

For a moment, Jiang Yichun was a little envious of Bai Zepei. Mr. Xie ignored the danger for him, and Li Shunsheng, who he had only just met, also ignored the consequences for him. Is this the legendary charm of personality?

Jiang Yichun's eyes were a little dim. He didn't even have a friend. Was he a failure? His trusted entourage was also arranged by someone with good intentions, causing him to almost lose his life. When would he have such a friend who would save him regardless of danger?

Suddenly, he thought of Bai Ruozhu. That woman was so frightened that her face turned pale, but she pulled him and insisted on saving him. Wasn't there someone who would risk everything for him? Thinking of this, Jiang Yichun's eyes lit up again.

"Okay." He shouted and stopped the three of them. "You guys should stop pushing and giving way. Do you think I am a dead person?"

The three of them fell silent, wondering if they had offended this adult.

"I'm also investigating this matter, and I know that Bai Zepei is innocent. I've already written the fold, and I'll see if you are willing to sign a letter." Jiang Yichun threw a fold on the table.

"Yes, we are willing." Neither Li Shunsheng nor Xie Dun expected that this adult was so easy to talk to. They rushed to the table to sign. Jiang Yichun turned around and glared at the two of them, "There are only two of us, does it matter who goes first and who comes last? ?”

Mr. Xie and Li Shunsheng couldn't help but blush. They were so excited that they almost lost their composure.

Bai Zepei looked at Jiang Yichun and felt very puzzled, but he still stepped forward and bowed to Jiang Yichun, "Thank you for your understanding, sir. I can't thank you enough."

Jiang Yichun didn't look at him much, but took out another booklet and threw it to Li Shunsheng. Li Shunsheng hurriedly picked it up, but the booklet fell to the ground without catching it and spread out.

Li Shunsheng's eyes twitched. It was the folder he had just seen in Jiang Yichun's room. He hurriedly closed the folder and picked it up.

"The higher-ups have given orders, but this matter cannot be delayed any longer. Li Shunsheng, you will arrange for officers to arrest people tomorrow morning. All those involved in the case must be arrested and brought to justice, starting from the head down." Jiang Yichun's voice was serious, and Li Shunsheng couldn't help but tense up and salute. : "Yes, sir."

Jiang Yichun looked at Bai Zepei again and said, "We will help you sign a joint petition, but tomorrow's arrests will still have to arrest you first. This matter involves a lot, and the Holy Father is very unhappy. He has specially sent an imperial envoy to deal with it. You can only We’ll wait for the Imperial Envoy’s interrogation before overturning the case.”

Bai Zepei felt that this adult seemed to be explaining something to him. He was a little confused. He had no basic background, so why did he treat him in a special way?

"Student, thank you for reminding me." Bai Zepei saluted Jiang Yichun respectfully.

"Okay, you go home now and appease your family earlier, but please don't make any announcement about this matter." Jiang Yichun waved his hand, indicating that Bai Zepei could leave.

family? Bai Zepei was slightly stunned. He felt that the problem lay with his family. This adult took care of him because he was concerned about his family's mood. By the way, my little sister just reminded him, could it be...

Bai Zepei seemed to have discovered the key point, but he was very surprised. This man had a special status. Even Mr. Li and Mr. Xie were in awe of him. How could he take such special care of his little sister? Could it be...

Two questions in a row made him want to go home immediately and ask Bai Ruozhu what was going on.

Mr. Xie also thanked Jiang Yichun and then left with Bai Zepei. Bai Zepei only said a few words to him and went to the West Market alone.

Bai Ruozhu was busy at the stall. When she looked up, she saw her second brother walking over. The second brother's expression was as usual and his figure was upright, but it made her feel a bit bleak.

Her eyelids twitched. Normally, the second brother would be studying with Mr. Xie and would not come to the stall at all. Could something have happened?

Bai Zepei walked over and nodded slightly to Bai Ruozhu. Bai Ruozhu paused with his hands. Sure enough, something happened!

"Zepei, why are you here now? Don't you need to study?" Lin Ping'er looked at her second son with a smile, her face full of pride.

Bai Zehao also patted Bai Zepei on the shoulder and said, "Second brother, let me show you how the elder brother shouts. You will also shout twice later. Don't be shy."

Lin Ping'er and Bai Yihong both laughed. Isn't Bai Zehao deliberately trying to be difficult? Everyone in the family knows that Bai Zepei doesn't talk much on weekdays. Isn't it strange that you let him shout in the market, especially wearing a scholar's trousers?

Bai Zepei also forced a smile and said, "Brother has been bullied a lot by Ruozhu these days, and he can't defeat her, so now he comes to bully me?"

Everyone laughed, but Bai Ruozhu didn't laugh, her face looked a little solemn.

"Mom and Dad, it just so happens that my second brother is free today. Let's close the stall and go home early." Bai Ruozhu did not use a questioning tone, and even had a tone that could not be denied by others.

Lin Ping'er looked at Bai Ruozhu with some confusion and asked, "Why are you closing the stall so early? Aren't you feeling well today?"
