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

The case was tried directly in the back hall.

In just half an hour, the man surnamed Chang confessed everything he knew.

As expected, he was not the only one selling questions, they were organized.

The most important thing is that they started selling the questions before the provincial examination, and this is what the county magistrate wanted to make sure of!

He and his advisor exchanged a glance, knowing that this matter had been predicted by Mr. Zheng and would definitely not end well.

This is not something that a county magistrate like him can interfere with.

"Sir, this is what we found in his house."

The county magistrate looked at the paper in front of him and asked, "...Is this the question for this year's provincial examination?"

The man surnamed Chang stood below, nodding dejectedly. "Yes, these questions are expensive, and we're being cautious. We don't dare sell them to people who don't know the basics. Before the exam, we sold them for 100 taels each..."

The county magistrate's eyes went dark.

The questions for the provincial examination were set jointly by the university scholars in the provincial capital. Before the examination, these people were locked up in a villa and could not leave until after the exam.

This can lead to missed questions...

The county magistrate waved his hand and ordered his men to take Chang away immediately and interrogate him in detail before making any further comments. There were more troublesome things going on right now!

"Immediately, write down this matter clearly and report it to the capital..."

The county magistrate's face was gloomy, and his eyes flashed: "Write two copies!"

On the other hand, he sent all the people in the yamen out to search the whole city.

"Yes, and also, this batch of students from our school must be thoroughly checked from top to bottom. As long as there is anyone, no matter if they are related to these people or the papers, they must be thoroughly investigated. We can't afford to miss any of them!"

Everyone in the yamen knew what this incident meant. In a place like theirs, they would probably rarely encounter a case bigger than this in their entire lives in the yamen.

The imperial examination is conducted at different levels, and cheating is not differentiated. Once the higher-ups find out about this, whoever is struck by the thunder will have to suffer the consequences!

The county magistrate sat in his chair, covered in cold sweat.

On the other side, after Mr. Zheng returned to the academy, he waited until the class was over, went to Master Wei, asked for Qin Yan to leave, and then gave the brother and sister a holiday.

"Rest at home for the next two days and try not to come to the county town."

Qin Yan nodded: "Don't worry, Dean, I understand."

It seems that they were not wrong, and this matter is about to become a big deal.

Fang Nanzhi didn't understand, but he could guess what must have happened: "That's great, brother. I said before that I wanted to play marbles with Master Shi, but I never got to play. Now it's all right!"

Mr. Zheng looked at his only disciple and handed her a few pages of paper. "This is your homework. You must finish it."

what?

Fang Nanzhi suddenly became less happy again.

The little girl waited at the gate of the academy for Fang Tong to pick her up. Finally, she got into the car and told him that she didn't need to come to the academy for the next two days.

"Two days? Oh, then just rest at home!"

Fang Tong was confused but didn't ask too much, thinking that something happened in the academy. Qin Yan felt that the fewer people knew about the cheating, the better. There was no benefit in knowing it, so he would not bring it up on his own initiative.

Fang Tong was thinking about another thing, of course, his brother's marriage.

He told them about the shameless engagement that old man had made at the Fang family banquet that day: "Alas, I have been thinking about how to make my second brother leave the Fang family as well."

"The Fang family didn't care about my second brother before, and I didn't expect it to turn out like this. Now it seems that we have to get him out, otherwise it's only a matter of time before he's sold out. This time, the landlord Wang's family blocked us, but if we meet someone else with money tomorrow, won't it be the same?"

Qin Yan only learned about this today, and he felt that the Fang family was really crazy. On the one hand, they were afraid that others would affect their reputation, and on the other hand, they were doing these inhuman things.

"Uncle Fang, if you were adopted out, Old Master Fang might have regretted it, and it would be even harder for him to let Second Uncle out. Even if Second Uncle wanted to be with us, outsiders wouldn't care what he thought."

Qin Yan was very familiar with Fang Yin after all, and knew that although Fang Yin had the mind of a child, people were not objects, and as humans, they had their own likes and dislikes.

It would be better to say that it was precisely because he had the mind of a child that he could not pretend to hate the Fang family.

Fang Nanzhi held up his face and interjected, "Why don't you put a sack on Uncle? It must be his bad idea, the most abominable!"

Fang Tong was at a loss for words: "Putting the sack on is so easy, but it doesn't solve the problem."

Naturally, the little girl had no good solution and could only think of venting her anger first.

How abominable!

Qin Yan leaned against the carriage, his thoughts drifting away. Fang Jin wanted to continue studying and was scheming against others, all because he was short of money.

The whole family knew about the Fang family selling chestnuts. He was studying at the academy and was in the county town every day. He had mentioned it to others unintentionally.

The teahouse they supply has just the right taste and the sugar is fried evenly, but it's not the same at another teahouse. Customers always get bad chestnuts, some of which are slightly burnt and taste slightly bitter.

There have been many complaints from customers, but there has been no improvement in recent days. It has even gotten worse. Sometimes only half of a plate can be eaten.

The teahouse owner couldn't stand it anymore and leaked the information more than once, waiting for the right opportunity to cut off the supply to his family.

If what the classmate said was true, then the Fang family would be short of money and would have to find another way to support Fang Jin's studies.

Qin Yan leaned against the carriage and suddenly asked, "Uncle Fang, is the girl from Landlord Wang's family really a nymphomaniac?"

Fang Tong nodded: "That's right!"

He talked about the girl from the Wang family and what he heard when he went to Dahe Village today.

Qin Yan understood as soon as he heard it. This was not just infatuation, but also not just ordinary infatuation. If it were a man, he would be a pervert.

He seemed to be thinking about something, and after hesitating for a while, he said, "Uncle Fang, do you really want an idea?"

Fang Tong turned around and saw his expression, and knew there was a way.

"You have, right? Tell me quickly, I'm really at my wit's end. I even went to see our clan leader today, but he can't just think about your second uncle. I still can't let it go!"

Qin Yan cleared his throat and whispered, "Since you are a womanizer and like good-looking people, although Second Uncle is tall, he is not as good-looking as you, Uncle Fang, nor as good-looking as... your cousin?"

Fang Tong's eyes suddenly lit up!

"Yes, that's right! My cousin is very handsome."

Fang Nanzhi didn't understand vaguely. It wasn't because what they said was complicated, but because she didn't understand one thing in the first place.

"Dad, what is a nympho?"

As soon as the little girl opened her mouth, her father and brother were silenced.

But Fang Tong always tries to answer as many questions as possible when educating his children, so he could only explain it in a tactful way.

"Yeah, I just like men. I really like good-looking men. I like them to the extreme."

Fang Nanzhi scratched his head, feeling a little guilty: "But I also like good-looking people, right?"

Fang Tong quickly corrected him: "Pooh, don't talk nonsense. People like to see good-looking things, but it's enough for people to just look at them. It's not what Dad said that makes you entangled."

Qin Yan listened to his uncle Fang trying to explain to the little girl and shook his head and laughed.
