The Transmigrated Farm Girl's Journey to Wealth

They figured that a few scoundrels wouldn't dare commit any serious crimes. The fact that even the yamen runners were alerted meant it was no small matter.

"Isn't this the direction of the Fang family? Are the yamen runners looking for Fang Lao Si? They don't seem to be up to anything good."

"Yes, the fourth prince is only a student of the lowest rank, it wouldn't warrant the yamen runners arresting him in such a high-profile manner with his legs in shackles. Could it be someone else?"

"Perhaps so, it's not like they're the only ones living here." Almost everyone in the village was alerted, young and old, men and women, all came out in droves.

Everyone wanted to know who had committed the crime that prompted the yamen runners to come and arrest them.

The village chief and his men stood in front of Lao Fang's house. Everyone was dumbfounded. How could it be that Lao Fang's second and third sons had done something immoral?

Or perhaps they weren't there to arrest someone, but rather the county magistrate had something to discuss with Old Fourth.

Some clever ones, seeing that something was wrong, immediately rushed to Fang Youcai's house and the Song family to inform them.

Good heavens! What on earth did the Fang family do? The yamen runners came to their door in chains.

The Fang family was already waiting at the door, and Fang Lao Si was especially arrogant. When the old man saw them, he smiled broadly, "Come in, come in. May I ask what brings you two here today?"

These two people were unfamiliar faces; they weren't the ones who had come to inform him that his fourth brother had passed the exam.

"There's no need to sit. Where is Fang Youfu?"

The old man felt that the other party seemed to have ill intentions. What was going on?

"It's me. What do you want?" Fang Laosi stepped forward and asked. He was also very dissatisfied with the yamen runner's attitude.

The constables didn't care whether he was satisfied or not, and immediately handcuffed him.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? I'm a respectable student, do you think you can just deduct my degree like that?" Fang Laosi was both shocked and furious.

The old man and the other members of the Fang family were just as shocked, wondering why people were being detained.

It would have been better if he hadn't said it; his words only provoked ridicule from the two constables, and the village chief turned his head away, not wanting to see him.

"Don't you know how you got your degree? Fang Youfu, let me tell you, your cheating on the exam and the theft of exam questions have been exposed, as have the other cheating candidates. This time, the adults sent us to escort you over for questioning."

The scheme to buy exam questions has been exposed? How could that be?

Aren't the people behind the scenes very capable? If they know the exam questions in advance, how could they not handle a county magistrate?

Fang Laosi was completely terrified, his face ashen, and he allowed the yamen runners to put shackles on him without daring to resist in the slightest.

He's finished!

The Fang family was also struck dumb. The fourth son was able to pass the exam because he bought the test questions in advance?

They couldn't help but recall how, as the exams approached, the fourth brother had asked them for money, claiming it was for tutoring. At the time, the eldest brother had said something like, "What tutoring? The fees are so high. There must be something fishy going on." They had even scolded the eldest brother, calling him stingy and unwilling to spend money.

So, there really was something fishy going on?

The villagers were stunned. Fang Laosi had actually cheated to become a scholar? Good heavens, how could he dare to cheat on such an important exam? How could he be so bold?

Oh no, Fang Laosi is definitely going to die this time. I wonder if it will affect the reputation of their village.

Only when he was being pushed along by the constables, his steps faltering, did Fang Lao Si come to his senses. He turned to Fang Lao Tou and shouted, "Father, go find my eldest brother, go find Xiao Ning, beg them to help me out. You must get me out! Father, you must save me!"

He's still so young, he doesn't even have a child yet, he can't die!

The old woman watched her son walk away, as if waking from a dream. She wanted to fight the constables to take him away, but she didn't have the guts. Don't be fooled by her fierce demeanor; she knew these people wouldn't do anything to her. In reality, she was quite timid.

She wouldn't dare mess with yamen runners or government officials.

Find the boss, yes, find the boss!

Before he could even look for him, Boss Fang had already rushed over. After all, he was a member of the Fang family, and how could he remain indifferent upon hearing that something had happened? Zhao Shi also came with him.

Fang Xiaoning didn't come herself; instead, she sent someone to gather intelligence. Only by knowing the enemy and herself could she make her next move.

"Boss, boss!" The old man was so panicked and disoriented for the first time. Seeing Fang Youcai was like seeing a savior.

He grabbed his sleeve. "Boss, boss, Fourth Brother has been kidnapped! You have to think of a way to get him out!"

He's not blind; he naturally saw the person leave.

"Why was he arrested? Did the yamen runners say anything?" When he arrived, the man had just been taken away, and he was still completely clueless about why.

Grandpa Fang was speechless; he couldn't bring himself to say that he had cheated on the exam.

He was so proud and happy when he passed the exam, and now he is just as annoyed and disappointed.

Fourth brother, you're so foolish!

Wishing everyone a prosperous and successful new year!
