After Qiao Da left, Song Xile looked at the two people arguing on the field again.

She took Qiao Er to Chang'an's side and asked with a stern face, "Chang'an, what's going on?"

When Changan saw Song Xile coming, his momentum instantly rose. He pointed at the person who was pulling him and scolded him, "Madam, I was driving on the street just fine, and this person suddenly jumped out from the side road, and I couldn't avoid it and overturned the car."

"Now he is blocking my car and won't let me leave, saying that it was because of me that he overturned the car."

"But I was driving very slowly and didn't even bump into his car, but he stopped me from leaving and tried to blackmail me."

The other party obviously hasn't recovered from Song Xile's sudden appearance. Why did this person appear here? Shouldn't she be in the carriage?

Song Xile didn't even give him time to react, and sneered, "Why are you surprised to see me?"

The man was flustered for a moment, and he said weakly: "I don't understand what you are saying. Anyway, it was because of your carriage that my carriage overturned. If you don't compensate me today, you can't leave."

Song Xile was so angry that he laughed. Even at this time, he was still doing his duty and sharing his master's worries.

Song Xile didn't want to waste time talking to him, so he said directly: "In that case, let's go see the official."

The other party was obviously intimidated by Song Xile's momentum, and his original arrogance dissipated in an instant.

The other party was obviously very guilty, and said in a bluffing manner: "You said to see the official, so I will see the official? Why should I listen to you?"

However, just as he was trying to delay, Song Xile had already made the next move.

She tilted her head to look at Qiao Er standing beside her. Qiao Er immediately understood and moved, rushing towards the person who tried to resist like a tiger descending from a mountain.

His movements were swift and powerful, and he subdued the man in just two or three moves. The whole process was clean and neat, leaving no chance for the man to resist.

The other party obviously did not expect that Song Xile would take the initiative.

Seeing that their own people suffered a loss, five more people suddenly emerged from the crowd. They surrounded Qiao Er and tried to intimidate him.

Seeing this, Qiao Er smiled bloodthirstily. He moved and started a fierce fight with the five men.

Seeing the situation escalate again, the surrounding onlookers retreated one after another, fearing that they would be involved.

Just out of the mentality of watching the show, the crowd did not disperse, but stepped back far away, standing on tiptoe, stretching their necks, and continued to watch the fight.

I don’t know if it was because Qiao Er’s skills were too good or the opponents were too weak, but in just a few breaths, Qiao Er successfully knocked down all five of them.

Song Xile looked disdainfully at the man lying on the ground pretending to be dead, sneered, and said directly to Qiao Er: "Tie them all up, we will go to see the official now."

Seeing Song Xile's firm attitude, the other party suddenly panicked and started shouting loudly, trying to attract the attention of the people around.

After receiving the order, Qiao Er quickly stepped forward and tied up the man lying on the ground pretending to be dead with a rope.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the other party began to struggle and shouted, "It's just a small misunderstanding. Why do we have to go to the authorities? Why are you so aggressive?"

Song Xile sneered after hearing this. She said to those people who fell into a heap, "You want to use this vicious trick to prevent my husband from entering the examination room? Are you afraid now? It's too late!"

"I'm telling you, my husband has already entered the examination room. It's simply wishful thinking for you to try to stop him here."

When those people heard this, they turned pale. It seemed that all their efforts were in vain, as the people had already entered the examination room.

Some of them had already thought that if the young master knew that they were not doing their job well, they would be taken to the government office, and they were even more worried.

As soon as she finished speaking, the onlookers who heard the gossip again began to accuse several people.

"This kind of person is really despicable. He actually dares to obstruct others' scientific research. He is totally devoid of conscience!"

"My lady, please don't waste your time talking to them. People who hinder others' future should go to hell!"

"That's right, my lady, we will accompany you to send these people to the government office and hand them over to the prefect, so that he can interrogate the person behind the scenes."

“…”

Song Xile bowed to everyone with gratitude, "I'm sorry for delaying your time today because of my husband's affairs!"

Those who can stay here and watch the whole process basically have nothing serious to do.

Now the nature of the matter has completely changed.

I was just watching an ordinary dispute, but I didn't expect it to involve cheating in the imperial examination.

This is undoubtedly a hotter topic than dragon boat racing at the moment.

The onlookers volunteered one after another and took the man to the government office.

Magistrate Li got up early in the morning to prepare for the college entrance examination because it would start today.

Because the imperial examination was related to his political achievements, he attached great importance to it and instructed the servants in the examination room to prepare drinking water for the candidates early on.

Remember not to let the last accident happen again.

As soon as the candidates took their seats to start the exam, runners from the government office came running to report.

It was said that someone deliberately blocked the road to prevent students from taking the imperial examination, and was taken to the government office by enthusiastic citizens, waiting for interrogation by the adults.

After hearing this, Magistrate Li wanted to bite his teeth to pieces. Who was it that made him restless? He was determined to make him suffer.

Li Zhifu had a dark face and ordered Chang Qing beside him, "When you go back, let Mr. Lin handle this matter and make sure to interrogate the mastermind."

When Changqing saw the adult, his face turned pale. He did not dare to be negligent and immediately took the order and left.

After receiving the order from the adults, Lin Chengen immediately asked someone to bring the plaintiff to inquire about the situation.

Song Xile then recounted the story in detail, from how she discovered the pickles mixed with croton powder to how she was deliberately stopped when she went out today.

At the end, she paused and said seriously, "Sir, we originally thought that Yang Ji was just looking for revenge because he had a quarrel with us before."

"But today when we sent my wife to the examination hall, we saw many students we knew well looking unhappy. I dare to guess that Yang Ji was not just looking at us. Please take a closer look, sir."

Lin Chengen originally thought that this was just a personal grudge between the two parties, but after listening to Song Xile's narration, Lin Chengen's face became solemn.

If it is true as she said, who knows how many students have been persecuted, and they may still be kept in the dark.

This matter must be verified as soon as possible.

At this point, he could no longer sit still, and said to Xile in a deep voice: "I already know what Madam said. This matter is of great importance, and I will start investigating it immediately."

"Madam, please go home and wait for news. Before there is solid evidence, please do not spread this matter."

At this time, a dragon boat race was being held in the city, and he was afraid that the people who were unaware of the situation would be incited.

This would be very passive for adults.

But Song Xile was a little unsure. Was this a deliberate cover-up? Or did he really need to investigate before taking any action?

She responded with a calm expression and led the people out of the government office.

After the people left, Lin Chengen immediately ordered Chang Qing, "Quickly report what happened to the adults."

He immediately gathered people and brought the people he had just arrested for questioning.

The person who was brought up was obviously prepared and kept his mouth shut. No matter how Lin Chengen asked, he refused to say anything.

Taking into account the other party's background, they did not dare to use severe punishment, so that he was said to have been tortured into confessing, which was not conducive to his confession.

He waved his hand and asked people to detain the man first, and then sent people to various clinics to find out if there were any students with diarrhea who came to seek treatment recently.
