Chapter 129 Confiscated and Exiled

Song Erlang's face turned pale, his head went blank, and he suddenly pulled back his sleeves. He stared at the densely packed cheat sheet in disbelief, and rubbed hard. Instead of being rubbed away, it became more and more obvious.

Gu Huaizhi didn't cheat, but he was caught cheating!

Song Erlang almost collapsed. He struggled to tear the clothes on his body, took them off and threw them towards the oil lamp, trying to burn the evidence.

"It's not me. These are not my clothes. I didn't cheat. This clothes was given to me by Lee Kuan Yew. He specially took it to the temple to consecrate it and wish me well in high school."

He was so anxious that he was incoherent, frightened and frightened. He looked at the invigilator with pleading eyes, hoping that he would believe his words.

"If you don't believe it, you can send people to arrest Lee Kuan Yew and torture him."

The invigilator quickly pulled the clothes that had been burned on the oil lamp to the ground and stamped out the ignited flames. A hole was burned into the clothes, and a large piece of cheat sheet appeared in the surrounding area that was exposed to the fire.

With a thought, he put his clothes on the fire to bake. When the moon-white clothes were roasted by the fire, a dense sheet of cheat sheets appeared.

The soldier was stunned. He didn't expect such an awesome operation!

The invigilator used a fire to bake all the clothes. There was no blank space, all were cheat sheets.

The more Song Erlang looked at it, the colder his heart became. It was as if a piece of ice had been stuffed into his heart, and his blood almost solidified.

He did not expect that Lee Kuan Yew would switch sides, side with Gu Huaizhi, and join forces with Gu Huaizhi to frame him!

"Sir, it's not me. I really didn't. It wasn't me who framed me with Lee Kuan Yew and Gu Huaizhi. Even if I had ten more courages, I wouldn't have dared to do it. My master said that with my talents, I would definitely do it this time. Passed the imperial examination! How could I ruin my future?" Song Erlang was on the verge of collapse. He was the Song family's only hope. In order for him to pass the imperial examination smoothly, his mother asked the princess for help to get Song Dalang out of prison. He could not stay. Case record.

The Crown Princess didn't agree at first, but later her mother risked a breakup and used the Crown Princess's instructions to persecute Su Wan to threaten her, so the Crown Princess was willing to help.

The princess was probably unhappy with being threatened, so she let Song Dalang die in prison the night before the trial. He only attempted to harm someone and was not involved in a murder case, so Song Dalang's criminal record was easily wiped out.

Mother did not dare to offend the Crown Princess, so she blamed Su Wan for Song Dalang's death.

The opportunity I finally got was completely ruined!

Song Erlang was shaking like chaff, dripping with cold sweat, and wanted to continue begging for mercy, but the invigilator's words hit him hard on the head.

"Song Xu engaged in malpractice for favoritism and was expelled from his reputation as a scholar and banned from taking exams for life. Because of personal grudges, he and others falsely accused candidates of engaging in malpractice for favoritism and disrupting the order of the provincial examination. The circumstances are serious and should be severely punished to serve as a warning to others."

The invigilator didn't believe Song Erlang's lies. His friend falsely accused Gu Huaizhi and found the cheat sheet in Song Erlang's place. Especially with such a clever method, he didn't believe that he was innocent.

When he thought that Song Erlang and Gu Huaizhi were from the same village, the two families had a deep feud. He almost destroyed a pillar of talent because of his own selfishness.

The invigilator said angrily: "Come here, drag Song Xu down, beat him with fifty sticks, confiscate his home and exile him to the frontier."

Song Erlang turned pale and defended himself in a hoarse voice: "My lord, my lord, the student was wronged. Someone framed the student. Please be aware of it - uh uh -"

The soldier covered Song Erlang's mouth and dragged him down. Then there was the sound of hitting the board. The sound was like a knock on the heart of the examinees. They were all silent and broke into a cold sweat.

Song Erlang shot himself in the foot and suffered the consequences.

He didn't unite with his friends to slander Gu Huaizhi for cheating, so how could he be found out?

retribution!

The invigilator has a Chinese character face, is serious in speech and very dignified. He stared at the writing on the clothes and couldn't figure out what method Song Erlang used to make the writing visible when exposed to fire.

"For the sake of caution, each candidate will be carefully checked." The invigilator paused and ordered, "Go and bake Gu Huaizhi's clothes."

"Yes." The soldier went to Gu Huaizhi's place again.

The invigilator thought for a moment and followed suit.

The soldiers roasted all Gu Huaizhi's clothes, but no cheat sheets appeared.

For some reason, the invigilator breathed a sigh of relief and said to comfort him: "You can take the exam with peace of mind. If you are ruled out of suspicion, it will not affect your imperial examination."

Gu Huaizhi stood up and bowed in a flowing manner.

The invigilator walked a few steps, then turned back and asked, "Do you know what method to use so that the handwriting will be visible only when it is exposed to fire?" He thought that Gu Huaizhi had already finished the exam, so he handed over a question that had nothing to do with the exam question. He handed it to Gu Huaizhi for a look: "I only know that turmeric turns red when it encounters alkaline water."

Of course Gu Huaizhi knew that this was done by him. The words written in salt water will be colorless after drying, but will turn black after being roasted by fire.

"I don't know." Gu Huaizhi said with impatience on his face, "The student is weak and weak. If you finish the search, the student will rest."

Invigilator: "..." People like you who are ignorant of the world and don't know how to flatter and fawn over have no future in the officialdom!

He snorted coldly, thinking that Gu Huaizhi was lucky to meet a good official like him who valued his talents, so he didn't have the same experience as him.

The invigilator left in a grand manner with his people, wrote a memorial about the matter, and reported it to the court.

——

Su Wan didn't know what happened in Guangling Mansion. She was going to Guangling Mansion tomorrow. Taking advantage of the nice weather, she took off all the bedding and quilt covers, washed them, and put them on a new bed.

"Bang Dong——"

Su Wan shook out a palm-sized glass jar from the pillowcase. The mouth of the jar was sealed with wood and there were four notes inside. When the sun shines, the colors flow like clouds, which is extremely beautiful.

Curious, she pulled out the wooden cover and poured out all the notes. There were three blank notes, one of which had Gu Huaizhi's handwriting.

The general idea is that this glass jar is a birthday gift to her. Each note represents a wish, and he can fulfill her three wishes.

Su Wan was startled, she didn't expect Gu Huaizhi to do such a childish thing.

But... she actually felt a kind of joy surge in her heart.

Su Wan even had the urge to go to Fucheng immediately.

Thinking about it this way, Su Wan actually did it. She put the note back into the jar and hid it under the bed. She packed a bag and was about to go out, when she met Gu's mother.

Gu's mother couldn't suppress the joy in her eyes, and she took Su Wan's hand: "Wanwan, what a blessing, Song Erlang was caught cheating in the imperial examination and was sentenced to confiscation and exile. Early this morning, soldiers came to search. The Song family has removed Song Manfu from the position of village head. The clan leader has removed the Song family from the family tree and expelled the whole family from Xinghua Village. It’s really satisfying!”

"Evil will be punished." Su Wan raised the corner of her mouth and told Gu's mother, "I'm going to Fucheng today, Jiuge, please take care of me."

Mother Gu's smile faded and she said with concern: "I will take good care of her. Please pay attention to safety and take care of yourself on the road."

Su Wan nodded: "Don't worry, I will take care of myself."

After getting on the carriage, when Su Wan passed by the village entrance, she saw Jiang from a distance crying and behaving violently at the clan leader's door, refusing to leave.

The Song family has fallen into this fate because of their own fault, and they are not worthy of sympathy at all.

The carriage drove away from the village entrance, and Su Wan was about to lower the curtain when she saw the young people in the village dragging Jiang and Song Manfu to the village entrance. The Song family is finally settled, and the Hu family will be free from now on.

Qi San and Qi Wu were waiting at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain. When Su Wan's carriage arrived, the two brothers sat on the shaft and escorted Su Wan to Fucheng with a batch of goods.

The group arrived at Fucheng. Su Wan got off the carriage and was searched by soldiers before entering the city gate.

"Ms. Gu!" Zhao Da's rough voice sounded.

Su Wan looked back and saw Zhao Da and Zhao Wei coming on horseback, "What a coincidence. Are you coming to Fucheng for business?"

Zhao Da and Zhao Wei came to Fucheng firstly because of cheating in the imperial examination, and secondly because they found signs of Qi Jiajun's activities in Fucheng. Naturally, they would not tell the truth when facing Su Wan.

"Something happened in the imperial examination, General Zhao came here to take a look." Zhao Da smiled honestly, his eyes fell on the two people behind Su Wan inadvertently, and his big copper bell eyes suddenly stern.
