After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

"Auntie, don't worry. This is a freshly baked cake this morning. Take it and try it with the clan leader later!"

The clan leader's wife, who had originally looked indifferent, suddenly smiled: "Oh, look at you, just come and walk around, why are you bringing anything?"

Fang Tong also had a smile on his face: "I was just too busy in the past and didn't have time to come. It's hard to come here once. The things I made at home are not worth much."

"Okay, okay, talk to me if you have anything to say. The sugar water will be right here!"

Both sides knew it well. They had no time for anything. When Fang Tong was strolling around the streets before, he never had the time to come to the door.

Not to mention the cake. How can you tell what your own stuff is? The wild vegetables you picked yourself are certainly not worth much. But this cake is a delicacy that can only be found in big restaurants in the county.

Patriarch Fang watched from the side and also felt that Fang Tong now had some real skills. He had only thought that he was eloquent before, but how come he didn't realize that he was such a smart person?

Fang Tong turned around and greeted the clan leader. Fang Yin stood aside stupidly, not understanding anything, and kept staring at his brother.

Not until the brown sugar water was served did Fang Tong take a sip.

Wow, I have never tasted such sweet brown sugar water in my life.

The conversation finally got to the point.

"Chief, to be honest, I brought my brother here today. I think you know why. If it weren't so ridiculous, I wouldn't want to bother you with such a trivial matter that affects my family."

Patriarch Fang thought to himself that this was true, and he never liked to get involved in these matters.

But Fang Tong came to his house specially today and was very respectful, so he thought it would be okay to listen. After all, he would have the final say on whether it could be done or not.

What he didn't expect was that as soon as Fang Tong opened his mouth, it was like thunder rolling in the sky.

"Clan leader, you know my cousin. He told my brother about the daughter of Landlord Wang from the neighboring Dahe Village. Although his family has a bad reputation, we only heard it from hearsay. We can't wrongly accuse them out of nothing, so I went there on purpose."

Having said that, he sighed deliberately.

"To be honest, if the marriage was anything like that, with my second brother's conditions, it wouldn't be impossible for the two of them to just make do. But this, ah, I can't bring myself to say it!"

Patriarch Fang was actually a little curious: "Oh? What did you go to Dahe Village to find out?"

Fang Tong told him everything he had heard from those aunts and women, and even the head of the Fang clan was stunned.

"Chief, what's going on here? After all this fuss, not only are they not getting a divorce, they've clearly only been married for a short time, and he's already married!"

"This isn't a marriage proposal, this is asking my brother to commit adultery!"

He looked at the patriarch's face and continued to add fuel to the fire.

"Let's put it another way. If this thing really happens and word gets out that someone from our village is having an affair with a married man, who would dare to marry someone from our village? Then the whole village will be implicated. The Qin people in our village are already domineering, so won't they always use this matter to bring up problems in the future?"

When Patriarch Fang heard this, he suddenly felt that this matter seemed to be related to him!

This is a big problem!

"You're right, we can't just leave it like this. You usually..."

He wanted to tell him to keep his second brother under control and not to flirt with other people, but when he looked up, he saw Fang Yin holding a bowl and drinking sugar water happily, and he was speechless.

Forget it, that’s it, how can I hook up with women?

"This is a big deal, I will naturally take care of it. We can't ruin the reputation of the entire clan." Patriarch Fang changed his tone.

Fang Tong finally felt relieved after hearing what the clan leader had said. He drank the sugar water and took his brother's leave.

After Fang Yin walked out, she touched her belly and didn't feel happy.

"Brother, it's not appropriate to exchange brown sugar water for cake."

Fang Tong didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You still know it's inappropriate? Great, you even know how to think about it."

Just a bit straight-minded.

If his brother's marriage was really planned by the Fang family, it would not be just about these cakes.

At the home of Patriarch Fang, ever since Fang Tong and the others left, Patriarch Fang and his wife sat together and chatted. There were two pieces of cake on the table.

"Don't look at this copper slide and don't let go. He is quite affectionate and righteous."

The clan leader's wife smacked her lips and said, "I think this old man will regret it one day in the future."

Chief Fang shook his head: "What do you know? Fang Jindu has passed the imperial examination. He is the only one in our clan who has achieved academic success."

"Tsk, what do you know? Being well-educated and being a good person are two different things. Do you think being a scholar means being like Qin Yan's father?"

She rolled her eyes: "Other families are blessed with a scholar, but his family supports a scholar without recognizing any relatives. Humph, you're still thinking about the advantage that even your own brother can't get."

Patriarch Fang was silent and didn't want to talk to her.

But the more this happened, the more he had to keep an eye on the Fang family and not let them do anything wrong.

It seems that he has to go to Fang's house tonight to discuss Fang Yin's marriage.

Fang Tong, who was relieved, and Patriarch Fang, who was worried, had no idea that a big storm was brewing in the county at this time!

"Official business! Make way!"

On the streets of the county town, ordinary people and stall owners were standing on the roadside, discussing in low voices what was going on.

"What happened?"

"I don't know, it looks like they're going to get someone!"

"Didn't you see that everyone was running there? Why do I feel like this is something serious?"

"What big thing could happen in this small county?"

There were many people who had nothing to do but were curious, so they followed the yamen runners from a distance to see what they were doing.

They followed him to an alley and saw the yamen runners knocking on the door. Someone in the crowd reminded them that there was a back door to the yard, so the yamen runners hurried to block it.

No one opened the door, so he forced his way in. After a while, he saw someone being caught coming out.

"Hey, it's really a trap!"

"What's wrong with him? He looks like a scholar."

"Hey, look, they've taken out a lot of stuff!"

The onlookers peeked in and saw that in addition to the young man, there were also book boxes and boxes, not knowing what they contained, and a bag of money in someone's hand.

At this moment, the county magistrate was in the yamen, pacing back and forth with an anxious look on his face.

He is just a county magistrate, how could he get into such a big trouble!

"Oh, why does it take so long to catch someone?"

"Don't worry, sir. We will definitely catch him. Didn't we listen to Mr. Zheng and send people to check at the city gate?"

The county magistrate glanced at the lawyer and said, "That's what I'm worried about! I'm worried about what to do next!"

He lowered his voice, but couldn't control his tone.

"This is cheating in the imperial examination! Cheating in the imperial examination!"

Twenty years ago, a major fraud case involved a wide range of people. The emperor was furious and said that fraud was a crime that would destroy the court and shake the country, and was as serious as deceiving the emperor. Countless officials lost their heads as a result.

Damn it, who the hell is doing this in his county!

Hearing the footsteps, he took the lead and found that the yamen runners had returned with their men!

"Quick!"

It would be too late for him to call people and open the court, and it would also alert the enemy.
