Shen Zheng looked straight ahead, walked around the kneeling Mo Zonkai, stepped forward, touched Yu Nanshu's head and praised: "Nanshu is awesome."

Yu Nanshu bit her lower lip and smiled shyly: "Nanshu was just thinking about what Sister Shen would do if she encountered this situation, so she followed suit."

"Is your last name Shen or Yu?" As the voice sounded, a pair of black shoes appeared in front of the follower. "Instead of thinking about what your father and grandfather would do, you think about what Shen Zheng would do? Your father is really sad."

As a father?

Who is the father of the eldest daughter of the Yu family?

How many fathers can the eldest daughter of the Yu family have?

The follower's eyes suddenly went dark, his whole body lost strength, and he collapsed to the ground uncontrollably, just in time to see the newcomer's appearance clearly.

The man was wearing the official robe of a prefect, and under his thick black eyebrows, his eyes were sharp and deep.

Just by looking at these eyes, the identity of the newcomer was clearly revealed - the prefect of Liuyang, Yu Zhengqing.

But how could the prefect be here! The spies clearly reported that the prefect had not left Liuyang Prefecture!

"My Lord Prefect! My Lord Prefect, please spare my life!" Sui never had time to think about it, and suddenly reached out to grab Yu Zhengqing's boots. Several gray-white finger marks immediately appeared on the black surface of the shoes, which was very abrupt.

Yu Zhengqing ignored the words and didn't even move.

He looked Yu Nanshu up and down and nodded, "Not bad, she knows how to protect her classmates, and she has the style of my Yu family. It's not in vain that she came to Tongan County to study."

He paused for a moment, looked around and asked, "But where is your grandfather? With so much noise at the door, how can he still sit still?"

"Grandfather is still in the county government office." Yu Nanshu said in the direction of the county government office: "The backyard of the county government office has been basically repaired, but the furniture has not been moved in and it has not been decorated. Grandfather insisted that Sister Shen open a private storehouse and wanted to select some ornaments from the rewards given by His Majesty and put them in his room."

Yu Zhengqing's face suddenly became a little embarrassed. He coughed lightly at Shen Zheng and cleared himself completely: "This is purely the personal behavior of the Lord. Please do not implicate me."

Shen Zheng suppressed the smile on her lips, "I understand. Now that the matter is settled, would you like to go to the yamen and take a look at your room?"

"I've been told that there's no need to deliberately assign a room to me." Yu Zhengqing said that it was not necessary, but his expression was completely different. "Since you have invited me so kindly, I will go and take a look later. You can handle the current matter quickly, and don't delay me from looking at the room."

They chatted about family matters as if no one was around, causing the people from Tongan County present to twitch their lips.

How come they didn’t realize that Lord Shen had cordially invited Lord Yu?

The officialdom is so complicated, and the prefect's thoughts are so hard to guess.

But the faces of the people from the Mo family were filled with surprise and panic.

From the brief conversation between the Magistrate of Tongan County and the Prefect, one can tell that their relationship is more than just a simple superior-subordinate relationship.

It's so natural and close that it's no exaggeration to say we're family.

Moreover, Magistrate Yu was notoriously bad-tempered. Since he took office, the government office no longer opened the back door for the Mo family. Even opening a "small door" required going through a long detour.

Who are the people in the government afraid of? The answer is obvious.

"Mo family, right?" Shen Zheng lowered her head, looked into Mo Zongkai's eyes and asked, "You are the eldest young master of the Mo family, Mo Zongkai, right?"

"That's right." Mo Zonkai claimed that he was not afraid of her, but he was afraid of Yu Zhengqing who was standing behind her.

"It's fine as long as it's a member of the Mo family." Shen Zheng squatted down and reached out to take the document in his hand.

Mo Zonkai didn't expect that she didn't get angry or ask for punishment, but directly attacked the document in his hand. He couldn't help but tremble with fear.

"Master Shen! This is my student's personal belongings. I'm sorry I can't let you see it!"

Although he was extremely arrogant before Shen Zheng and the others came, he knew in his heart that the things in his hands must not fall into the hands of the other party at this time.

"Student?" Shen Zheng grabbed a corner of the document and smiled suddenly: "I don't have a student like you, don't try to establish a relationship with him."

"You!" Mo Zonkai asked himself when he had ever been humiliated by such words, and anger suddenly began to surge into his mind again.

It is said that he is simple-minded, but that is not entirely true.

But he is a person who is easily controlled by anger. When his emotions are stable, his mind can think, but once he is enraged, he will completely lose the ability to think, and the whole person will be like an animal, with only the attack instinct left.

Shen Zheng smiled at him, and with a slight force of her fingertips, she pulled the document out of his mouth.

She pinched a corner of the document and swung it in the air twice, and the entire document was displayed in front of everyone.

"Previous years' children's exam candidates..." Shen Zheng read out: "To investigate the cheating documents?"

She laughed sarcastically and read out the words on it word by word: "After investigation, it was discovered that Fan Chiqing, a student of Liuchang Academy in Quanyang County, was suspected of cheating in the child examination in previous years. Therefore, this document is issued, requiring the candidate Fan Chiqing to go to the school supervision office within three days to prove his innocence."

"hiss--"

The students of the county school took a deep breath when they heard this and looked at Fan Chiqing.

"Brother Fan cheated in the Tongshi exam? How is that possible! With Brother Fan's talent, let alone Tongshi exam, he has a chance to pass the prefectural exam, right?"

"Which year did Brother Fan take the exam? Why did they only say he was suspected of cheating this year?"

"It's a frame-up! The Mo family is quite powerful. It's just a piece of investigation paperwork. It shouldn't be difficult for them, right? They are going to ruin Brother Fan!"

"Is Mo Zongkai mentally ill? How dare he produce such a forged document in public? Isn't he afraid that others will accuse him of collusion between officials and businessmen?"

The county residents didn't know much about the imperial examinations, but they knew that cheating was definitely a serious matter.

They didn't know whether the student Fan could continue to take the imperial examinations. They only knew that any student who was involved in the word "cheating" would have his life over.

I heard that there was a student who cheated in Yonglu County in previous years. Once discovered, his whole family moved away. There has been no news of him for so many years, and no one knows whether he is alive or dead.

Yu Zhengqing originally thought that the trouble was only caused by the young generation of the Mo family who were ignorant, so he could let Shen Zheng deal with them and then let the Mo family redeem them.

But that piece of flimsy document completely changed the nature of the matter.

He suppressed his anger, stepped forward and took the document from Shen Zheng's hand.

"Suspected of cheating?" He gritted his teeth and asked, "Prove your innocence? What a great school supervision center! It should be a place to support students all over the world, but it actually gave birth to a sharp sword that stabs students!"

How sad and ridiculous this is!

Yu Zhengqing pinched the two corners of the document and wanted to tear it into pieces, but this action was obviously irrational.

This piece of document was the basis for his challenge to the Supervisory Office - the Supervisory Office was directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, and even the government office had no direct jurisdiction over it. If he tore up this "evidence", he would be at a disadvantage.

He kept reminding himself in his mind that a lack of patience would ruin a great plan, and after a moment he finally regained his senses.

He held the document high above his head. "The document that should have been in the Supervisory Office or in the hands of Fan Chiqing has disappeared into your hands, Master Mo. I am really curious about why this happened! In this case, I will 'assist' the Supervisory Office and investigate thoroughly to see if Fan Chiqing is really so bold as to cheat in the exam!"
