n

nXiao ran smiled and said nothing.

n

nIf 100 taels of silver could be considered “hard-earned capital,” then so be it!

n

nOld Gu also came over and looked at the calligraphy and paintings seriously. He was a great scholar and had a deep understanding of this Dao. From the calligraphy, he could tell that this person’s realm of calligraphy had reached the acme of perfection.

n

nIt wasn’t an exaggeration to call them “everyone.”

n

nShe glared at Gu qiuhe fiercely.”Why don’t you try buying one for tens of thousands of taels? Each piece of calligraphy that everyone makes will cost at least ten thousand taels. ”

n

nHe snatched the painting and kept it without any explanation.

n

n“Second brother won’t be polite.” Old Gu laughed.

n

nThe corners of Gu qiuhe’s mouth twitched violently. He said sarcastically,””Second uncle, why are you snatching things from me? This is a gift from uncle Xiao, okay?”

n

n“I’ll let you sell them when you’re out of money?”

n

nGu qiuhe was speechless. He wasn’t that kind of person.

n

n“All of you, back down.” Old Gu waved his hand.

n

nThe guard who was standing guard outside left.

n

nHe stopped smiling.

n

n“This matter has a huge impact,” old Gu said seriously.”I’m afraid that you’ve officially entered the eyes of all the forces. In the future, you won’t be able to do things as easily as you do now.”

n

nHe paused for a moment.

n

nOld Gu suggested,”why don’t you come to our Longyuan Academy to study?” Don’t worry, with this old man here, you can choose whether you want to be a student or a teacher. ”

n

nXiao ran rejected her tactfully,”I still prefer my current job.”

n

n“Don’t you want to reconsider?”

n

n“Yes.” Xiao ran insisted.

n

n“Alright! When you’ve thought it through and you’re bored, you can tell this old man and I’ll help you arrange it. ” Old Gu didn’t try to persuade him any further.

n

nHe took a sip of tea.

n

n“Qiuhe has already told me everything. We were really lucky to find the mastermind this time.” Old Gu said.

n

nXiao ran shook his head. Seeing his confusion, he said,””There are other forces involved.”

n

n“Who is it?” Old Gu frowned.

n

n“The cui family!” Xiao ran said.

n

nOld Gu’s expression was grave. He knew more about the situation.”That thousand-year-old family?”

n

n“Yes.” Xiao ran nodded.

n

nHe briefly explained he er’s matter.

n

nAfter listening.

n

nOld Gu pondered for a moment before saying,””These old foxes are really all-pervasive, even planting people in the twelfth Prince’s residence. However, why would they interfere in something that doesn’t benefit them?”

n

nThe two of them looked at each other and nodded.

n

nGu qiuhe was confused.”What are you guys talking about?”

n

nBang! Bang!

n

nOld Gu knocked him on the head with his hand.”You’re just a child. Don’t ask so much.”

n

nHe looked at Xiao ran.

n

n“After this incident, the ninth Prince has probably moved from the shadows to the surface. With their support, his power won’t be any less than the first Prince ‘s.”

n

nHe looked worried.

n

n“You offended the ninth Prince. Be careful of his revenge.”

n

n“Since I’ve chosen to do this, I’m not afraid of his revenge,” Xiao ran shrugged.

n

nOld Gu didn’t say anything more. Some words could only be said once.

n

nAfter chatting for a while, Xiao ran got up and left.

n

nOld man Gu insisted that Xiao ran stay for lunch before leaving, but Xiao ran rejected him tactfully. Gu qiuhe then sent him out of the residence.

n

nOutside the manor.

n

nGu qiuhe rubbed his fingers together.”Do you still have uncle Xiao’s copybook?”

n

n“No,” Xiao ran shook his head.

n

nShe turned around and left under his resentful gaze.

n

nSeeing that his figure was about to disappear completely, his voice was heard.”Next time, I’ll treat you to a drink at the drunken immortal court.”

n

n“Thank you, uncle Xiao!” Gu qiuhe was excited.

n

nAfter having lunch on the street, he walked towards the divine sword guards.

n

nToday’s examination questions should have been set, and the regulations would also be passed down.

n

nThey arrived at the red line bridge.

n

nHe happened to meet Lin weiyong, who was rushing over with a group of people. The group of people were aggressive, especially him, who had a cold face as if someone owed him money.

n

nHer eyes lit up as she looked at Xiao ran. She quickly surrounded him and blocked his way.

n

nLin weiyong asked,”where did you hide my daughter?”

n

nHe had not slept the entire night, waiting for Lin Yushan’s news.

n

nHowever, she didn’t come back even when the sun rose. He had already prepared for the worst. Even if she did something out of line, he would accept it as long as he could get Lin Yunyi out.

n

nBut in the end …

n

nAfter daybreak.

n

nLin Yushan still hadn’t returned. As the Minister of Justice, she still had to attend court.

n

nIn addition, today was the day he would be convicted of a crime. No matter how unwilling he was, he could only pinch his nose and go to the palace.

n

nAfter the court session.

n

nThen, he brought a group of guards and rushed to Xiao ran’s house.

n

nAfter calling for a long time, only gold one was there, but Xiao ran was nowhere to be seen. He was about to go to the divine sword guards to look for him, but he did not expect to meet him here.

n

n“Don’t ask me. I wouldn’t know even if I asked. ” Xiao ran’s face was cold.

n

n“You …”

n

n“Move!” He shouted. Xiao ran berated.

n

nShe didn’t even look at him and walked forward.

n

nSeeing him approach, the guards hurriedly opened up a path for him, not daring to block his way.

n

n“Listen up, you with the surname Xiao. You’d better not let me find out that you’ve imprisoned my daughter. Otherwise, I’ll never let you off!” Lin Wei said bravely.

n

nXiao ran didn’t care at all. He entered the courtyard when he arrived at the divine sword guards.

n

nJust then, Shen Yiming returned.

n

nWhen he saw Xiao ran, he greeted him and entered the room.

n

nThe four of them sat on the chairs.

n

nShen Yiming didn’t beat around the bush and said directly,””This case has been completely settled. Other than the twelfth Prince and the dead eighteenth Prince, the ninth Prince will be locked up for a month. Lin Yunyi and the rest of the cheating candidates will be locked up in the Imperial prison for three years, and they will never be able to participate in the fall quarter examinations again. ”

n

nLittle Zhou pouted and looked disdainful.”You’re just taking off your pants and farting. What an unnecessary move! The people who cheated this time all had powerful families. Even if Lin Yunyi didn’t mention it, the other people’s identities weren’t simple. Even though they can’t do the fall quarter examinations, after they’re released from prison, isn’t it easy to arrange a position for them with their family’s power?”
