Liu Xuezheng paused his hand and took another stack of rice paper, which was given the personal confession of the students.

He found the one from Bai Meng, and his ancestors' backgrounds were innocent.

"If he has a criminal record, why is he qualified to participate in the examination?" Liu Xuezheng was puzzled. If this matter was taken seriously, then the student who was a security guard would also be involved.

County Magistrate Qiao sighed: "He beat up the juren and owed a huge sum of money in and out of the gambling house. All the people in the gambling house came to the door. The nature is too bad. If you give him a grace, he will participate in the provincial examination, the imperial examination, and the palace examination. During this period, there will always be a link that will be revealed, and you will be able to blame."

Liu Xuezheng frowned. After the list came out, he had read the articles made by Bai Meng. He was brilliant and fascinating, but he was well-behaved and elegant. He usually had a rigid and rigid writing, which shows Bai Meng's skills and his superb use of words and sentences.

It would be a pity if he was removed from the imperial examination because of these two things.

Liu Xuezheng was selfish and wanted to cover it up.

After all, Bai Meng is under the jurisdiction of the Magistrate Qiao County. Whether these two things are big or not, it is not impossible to erase the case.

But as County Magistrate Qiao said, if you look into it in depth, you will say that it is small but not small.

"The evidence is conclusive?" Liu Xuezheng asked unwillingly.

County Magistrate Qiao's mind is overturned, so why is it unclear that Liu Xuezheng wants to protect Bai Meng?

"Their neighbors in Shiping Village know that as long as they check, they will be unable to hide. Please... think twice." The magistrate of Qiao County sighed: "I have no chance to pass the imperial examination in my jurisdiction. Bai Meng can win the case in one fell swoop, and he is very likely to win another Jie Yuan. But if we do this in private and are exposed, we will definitely lose our black hat."

Liu Xuezheng stared at Bai Meng's courtesy for a moment and placed it on the table casually, "I know it in my heart."

County Magistrate Qiao felt relieved, glanced at Liu Xuezheng from the corner of his eyes, looked at the regret in his eyes, and took a teacup and took a sip of tea to block the corner of his mouth.

"What a pity." County Magistrate Qiao put down his teacup, "I will go to the teacher and ask him how he can destroy the case and then resume the scientific investigation."

Liu Xuezheng nodded and lost interest.

County Magistrate Qiao achieved his goal and said goodbye to Liu Xuezheng and took a carriage back to the county town.

Liu Xuezheng stood up, looked at Bai Meng's list, put it into his sleeve, and went to find the Prime Minister Wu.

——

The prefect Wu had already received a letter from Duan Luochun, and he often followed the news and visited Liu Xuezheng.

"Hurry and invite him in." The magistrate Wu put the letter into the drawer and opened the door to greet him in person, "Please please in the sir."

Liu Xuezheng sat in the room.

The magistrate Wu poured him a cup of tea, "Are you here today for the imperial examination?"

"That's right." Liu Xuezheng handed Bai Meng's personal confession to the prefect Wu. "This is the head of the imperial examination. He is quick-witted and has a very exquisite article. I value him very much. Today, County Magistrate Qiao came to visit him. I mentioned to him, saying that Bai Meng had a case in the county government and wanted to remove him."

Although he is a third-rank official, the emperor attaches great importance to the imperial examination and has extremely strict management.

The matter was revealed and it couldn't end.

The prefect Wu looked solemn, and he took out Duan Luochun's letter and presented it to him.

Liu Xuezheng took it, with a look of ten eyes and a gloomy face. "Mr. Qiao was a classmate with me at the time, and he acted cautiously, unlike someone who could do such things." In fact, in order to save trouble, he directly removed Bai Meng from the name of what Qiao County said. However, Liu Xuezheng himself was a Jinshi and studied hard for ten years. He knew the hardships. Because Bai Meng did have real talents and knowledge, he became polite and wanted to investigate thoroughly. "Secretly sending people to investigate, the situation is true, he removed him and moved one place forward."

"Yes, I will tell you to do it immediately." The prefect Wu had an explanation with Duan Luochun. His character was trustworthy, so he did not doubt Bai Meng's character. "If it is false, do you plan to keep Bai Meng in the county school?"

"Fuxue." Liu Xuezheng has already drafted the list.

This happened!

The prefect Wu had a clear mind and immediately ordered him to investigate him secretly.

Liu Xuezheng said: "Go to Shiping Village to visit neighbors."

"yes."

——

Bai Meng didn't know what was wrong with him, so he took a carriage home.

The whole family was greeted at the entrance of the village.

When Jiang saw Bai Meng get off the carriage, he hurriedly came forward, "Menger, are you tired? Look, you have lost weight. Let's go home and my mother has cooked you old hen soup."

Bai Meng laughed and said, "I'm not tired."

"Why aren't you tired? Studying is the most troublesome." Jiang took Bai Meng home.

Bai Meng looked at Bai Wei helplessly.

Bai Wei turned sideways, and Liu Lu, who was hiding behind her, was exposed in front of Bai Meng.

Liu Lu's face turned red and his fingers tightly clamped the corner of his clothes.

Bai Meng saw Liu Lu as expected, and he nodded slightly at her, with a slight smile on his lips.

Liu Lu's face was shy and her head was lowered.

Bai Wei took her arm and went back to the Bai family together.

As soon as he entered the door, Bai Wei let go of Liu Lu and pulled Jiang, who was full of joy, to the kitchen, leaving Liu Lu and Bai Meng behind, to cultivate feelings.

"Mom, how did the big brother do the exam?" Bai Wei knew from Jiang's expression that Bai Meng did well in the exam!

"Case leader! Your brother took the exam for the case leader!" Jiang was very excited. She didn't dare to think that Bai Meng could get such a good exam. She was very satisfied if she passed the scholar!

Bai Wei felt as expected, "Even if my brother stopped studying, I saw him reading alone in the middle of the night. There is no shortcut for any success. Only when you pay, you will get the corresponding reward!"

Jiang's hand was trembling, and she held Bai Wei's hand tightly, "What a great joy! I won't worry about passing the exam for a scholar. Your brother's marriage should also be put on the agenda!" Then he said with a smile: "Liu Lu is a lucky girl. As soon as she talks to Meng'er, your brother will pass the exam!"

Bai Wei smiled without saying a word, and Jiang's feudal superstition is also good, so she will like Liu Lu more!

Jiang looked at Bai Meng and Liu Lu from the window, and felt very happy. She thought she could hold her grandson in the spring of the following year!

Bai Meng stood opposite Liu Lu. She kept lowering her head, falling behind him from a distance like a small tail, lowering her voice, for fear of scaring her. "Is Aunt Fang's health better?"

"Ah?" Liu Lu looked at Bai Meng Junxiu's face blankly. His expression showed concern and said in a low voice: "Okay, thank you Brother Bai for your concern."

Apart from Bai Wei and Liu Juan, Bai Meng has never dealt with other girls, especially Liu Lu is timid and extremely shy.

“The eggs you cooked are delicious.”

"Boiled eggs are very simple. My milk praises me for making dumplings well. I'll make dumplings for you next time?" As soon as he said that, Liu Lu almost bit off his tongue. They had not gotten married yet, and this sentence was inappropriate.

Bai Meng saw her face red, shy and annoyed, and she was very cute.

He responded, "Okay."

The two of them were silent.

Liu Lu tightened her fingers nervously, "Brother Bai, you are busy all the way, hurry into the house and rest."

"Would you sit in the house?" Bai Meng invited Liu Lu.

"No...no, I have to go back and cook for the milk." Liu Lu waved her hands repeatedly and took a step back, "I...I'll go back first." Without waiting for Bai Meng to speak, she turned her head and ran out of the door, shaking her two braids behind her.

Like a little rabbit.

Liu Lu could not be seen, Bai Meng closed the door and returned to the main hall.

Bai Wei brought a bowl of chicken soup and placed it in front of Bai Meng, "Brother, when will you marry Liu Lu after passing the exam this time?"

Bai Meng took two sips of soup and whispered: "Let my mother invite Bingren to come to propose marriage. I will discuss with Aunt Fang. If she keeps Liu Lu for more, she will get married at the end of the year. If there is other arrangements, I will leave my mother to choose a zodiac auspicious day."

"There are no suitable marriages in the months of April, five, six and seven, so we have to go there in August." Bai Wei calculated that there were still several months left.

Bai Meng nodded, "The good news has not been sent yet, so I don't need to make a statement about the ranking I've been awarded for the time being."

"good."

——

In the next few days, Jiang went to the town to buy the gift list he wanted to apply for.

After buying all the things, she planned to go to Liu Lu's house to propose marriage to Bai Meng.

Bai Wei stopped her and told her Bai Meng's thoughts, "Brother plans to wait for the news to come up before going to propose marriage."

"All the list is on the list, can there be variables?" Jiang was eager to decide the marriage as soon as possible.

Bai Wei rubbed the dough, "Brother acted safely and was not sure. He would not do it easily, just because he was afraid that things would change, and Liu Lu would not have any way out."

Jiang sighed, looking melancholy. "It's been several days now, why haven't the good news come yet? Everyone in the village is talking about gossip!"

I had a happy event in my heart, but I couldn't hide it in my face. The incident of Bai Meng's admission to the case spread throughout Shiping Village.

Some people sincerely congratulate, while others feel sad. Seeing that there has been no movement in the county, and they keep talking sour.

Jiang was angry when he heard this.

"Wait a little longer, you should be coming down soon."

Bai Wei rubbed the flour from her fingers and saw Shen Yu stepping in from outside the yard in a black uniform. Her tall and slender figure was strong and strong, with her dark eyes deep and sharp. She noticed her gaze and looked straight over, her eyes facing each other.

Bai Wei's heart beat, and she suddenly withdrew her gaze. She looked up again and saw that Shen Yu was no longer in place.

She lowered her eyes, and the feeling of loss in her heart made her unable to ignore her other thoughts about Shen Yu.

"Mom, I'll tell you something." Bai Wei had been struggling for a long time and hesitated for a long time, and didn't know how to speak to Jiang. Just a glance at her gave her a lot of courage and said in one go: "Brother Shen and I..."

"Mom, I have something to say to Vivi." Shen Yu stood at the kitchen door, and his mom shouted very naturally.

Jiang was stunned by the shouting and pushed Bai Wei to the door, "You go first, what do you have to say later."
