In the ancient imperial examination system, people in the village, especially the village head, had a certain influence on individuals' participation in the imperial examination.

Taking the imperial examination generally requires going through a series of procedures and reviews.

Generally speaking, the village headman is first required to provide a certificate to prove that the candidate has a clean family background, is honest and decent, and is not a prostitute or actor. This is equivalent to a political review.

If the village chief deliberately obstructs and does not provide such a certificate, then the candidate may not be able to obtain the initial qualification to take the imperial examination.

Thinking of this, Sun Mei said anxiously, "No, my son must take the imperial examination. You have to think it over carefully. If they win the first place, it will also be good for you."

"It's good for both of us! I'm counting on your son to bring honor to the family!

I have to remind you that you can't follow Sun Yao. He's just so-so. Am I not much better than him? "Lin Tugen hugged Sun Mei tightly and said, "No matter how powerful he is, he is just a dog of the Sun family."

Sun Mei pushed him away and said, "You are not allowed to say that about him..."

"Hahaha...Sun Mei, I'm just helping you analyze the situation. This is indeed the truth, isn't it?

If you serve me well, I will find a way to treat you well.

You should know what I did before. I still have a lot of treasures in my hands." The village chief looked at her and said softly.

Sun Mei weighed the pros and cons in her mind and kissed Lin Tugen. This time, both of them were very happy.

Lin Tugen looked at her and said:

"Sun Mei, you are my woman from now on, and you are not allowed to get involved with Lin Dachang and Sun Yao.

Otherwise I won’t spoil you, but don’t worry, I will treat you well.”

Sun Mei nodded. In troubled times, women had no choice but to bow their heads.

After a long while, Lin Tugen hugged her and kissed her, saying, "Now you're being obedient! Let me show you something..."

He directly took out the portrait and opened it. Sun Mei looked at the face in the portrait in the torchlight and said, "This... is this Zhao Qiaoniang?"

Lin Tugen bared his yellow teeth and said:

"Yes, it's Zhao Qiaoniang, the others should be Master Bai, Cui Ya and Mulan.

As long as we find these people, we can get 5000 taels of silver."

"You said... 5000 taels?" Sun Mei swallowed.

Lin Tugen looked at her and said:

"Yes! As long as we find them, we can get 5000 taels.

I've made it clear that anyone who finds their whereabouts will receive a 500 tael reward."

"Then what are we waiting for here? Go find it quickly!"

"What's the rush? Haven't they already sent someone to look for them?" Lin Tugen looked at her and said, "Once we find them, I'll treat you to a delicious meal."

Sun Mei is now very excited. If it is 5000 taels of silver, how should she spend it?

Just buy a house in Baihua City. Although it is expensive and the prices are high, it is safe!

Sun Mei looked at him and said, "If you have money, how much can you give me?"

"I'll give you one thousand taels when the time comes. I can only give you this much. After all, my men also need to eat." Lin Tugen said with a smile.

Lin Tugen looks shifty, but he is very smart and has Sun Mei in his control.

"Okay, I got it. I'll go look for them too." Sun Mei was so excited that she wanted to explode on the spot.

"Go! Tell me if you have any news."

"Okay, got it." Sun Mei rushed back to the camp.

Old Mrs. Lin looked at her and said, "Daughter-in-law Dachang, where have you been?"

"I'll naturally go to discuss things..." She didn't dare tell the good news to Old Lady Lin. Old Lady Lin was someone who couldn't keep secrets. If she knew, the whole village would know.

She went straight to Old Man Lin and Lin Dasheng and told them everything.

Lin Dasheng was trembling with fear: "What? They committed a crime? What crime did they commit?"

"I don't know about that. Anyway, someone has offered a reward of 5000 taels. As long as we catch them, it will be fine." Sun Mei said lightly.

Lin Dasheng took a deep breath and said:

"Is Zhao Qiaoniang so valuable now? This woman is truly mentally ill. She couldn't live a good life, and now she's a fugitive.

Mom! How are we supposed to live like this? Will she bring trouble to our family?

Lin Dasheng felt furious when he thought of this. Sun Mei quickly said:

"You forgot, she has been divorced by our family. The divorce papers have been signed. No matter what happens, it's not our fault.

My idea is that we should find them now, and it would be best if we could send them to Baihua City. Then our family can get 5000 taels of silver."

Lin Dasheng was shaking with excitement when he thought of the 5000 taels of silver.

"This must be the blessing brought by our early arrival. I knew that our family must be our lucky star."

Sun Mei nodded and said, "But this matter can't be known to many people. Dad, can you call Lin Dafu back as well?"

Old Man Lin's eyes lit up, and he took a deep drag on his pipe and said, "I'll call him back right now."

When Lin Dafu and Wang Qiuju came back, he was still very unhappy. Lin Dafu looked at him and said, "Dad, what happened? Did my eldest brother get into trouble again? I don't have any money on me."

Old Man Lin quickly said, "It's not that, it's a happy event."

"What good news? We have to go up the mountain after dinner! Tell us quickly!" Lin Dafu picked his nose, his face full of impatience.

Sun Mei coughed and explained the whole story. Wang Qiuju looked at her, swallowed, and said, "Sister-in-law, what did you say?"

Sun Mei quickly said, "5000 taels of silver..."

"Hiss... Then why don't we go find her right now? I don't like Zhao Qiaoniang anyway.

I didn't expect her to cause such a big mess. She deserves it. I wonder how she'll survive now." Wang Qiuju's face was filled with emotion. She hated Zhao Qiaoniang to death.

Her cousin was probably killed by Zhao Qiaoniang, and later he suffered several more harms from her in the mountains. She wished she could eat her alive.

Wang Qiuju looked at Lin Dasheng and said, "Second Uncle, are you planning to go too?"

Lin Dasheng coughed and said:

“Since something this big happened, I naturally have to go and ask about it.

If she...if she died, Lin Song and Lin Bo would definitely bring her back."

Wang Qiuju nodded and said, "Then... what about that little disaster?"

Lin Dasheng's eyes were filled with hatred: "If it weren't for this little disaster, how could our family have fallen to this point?"

Lin Dafu nodded in agreement and said, "Second brother, I didn't expect you to be so sensible. I think you are really amazing."

Old Man Lin looked at Lin Dasheng and nodded with satisfaction.

"Your brother's current ideas are very good, you should all learn more from him.

If it weren't for him divorcing Zhao Qiaoniang, our whole family would be ruined this time, killed by that damn woman."

Lin Dasheng immediately felt refreshed. He didn't expect his father to praise him. From childhood to adulthood, his father had never praised him like this.
