Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she simply took out the pill and ate it.
After taking it, Li Xiaoran revealed a sly smile.
“You said it yourself, husband. You can’t go back on your word!”
“No regrets!” Luo Cheng said with a smile.
“Husband, what have you been busy with recently?” Li Xiaoran asked as she ate breakfast.
“Have you forgotten? What are we here for this ti? We’re not here to nd our relationship with my father, nor are we here to restore my status as a prince. We’re here to fight back!” Luo Cheng picked up a bun and said as he ate.
Li Xiaoran had been busy keeping an eye on Yan Xiaoqiao and making friends these past few days, so she had forgotten about this matter.
“Are you ready?” Li Xiaoran asked curiously.
“Of course! The show is about to start!”
Luo Cheng didn’t deceive Li Xiaoran.
At noon, the matter of people cheating on the imperial examination was exposed.
Speaking of which, Luo Cheng was lucky. Just as he was about to deal with so people, he discovered sothing.
This ti, there was a very important official among the examiners.
This official wasn’t only in charge of selling the exam questions to the public, but also of silently dropping the money he had collected into the pockets of so important people.
His wife had seen everything that this official had done and left all the records behind.
This official’s na was Lu Xiangyang. His na was very pleasant, but he was a vicious person.
He had used all kinds of thods to snatch his current wife, Weng Yuxin. Not only did he kill her family, but he also killed her lover.
All these years, Weng Yuxin had endured humiliation and pretended to accept her fate in order to get Lu Xiangyang to let his guard down.
As for Lu Xiangyang, he looked like a gentle person on the surface, but he was very violent. After returning ho, he no longer hid his true colors and often told Weng Yuxin about the shaful things he had done.
To him, Weng Yuxin, an illiterate woman, couldn’t do much.
However, Weng Yuxin had been secretly learning how to read and write from the wives of Lu Xiangyang’s colleagues all these years. Therefore, she recorded what Lu Xiangyang had done all these years.
Not only that, but Weng Yuxin also used her identity as Lu Xiangyang’s wife to secretly gather so evidence and hide it.
This ti, after knowing that Lu Xiangyang had cheated in the imperial examination, Weng Yuxin wanted to use this matter to topple Lu Xiangyang.
When she was secretly doing this, she happened to encounter Luo Cheng’s subordinates, then Luo Cheng sent people to protect Weng Yuxin.
At this mont, Weng Yuxin ca to the county with all the evidence and sounded the drum in front of the governnt offices.
Imdiately, the news that the cheating during the examination had been exposed spread throughout the capital.
When the emperor received this news from the Dark Dragon Guards, he was imdiately furious.
The evidence reported by Weng Yuxin was quickly presented to the emperor.
Looking at the things recorded in the thick books, the emperor suddenly realized that these people had actually done so many things to harm the governnt in secret.
The people involved in this booklet were not only the important ministers of the current dynasty, but also talents who had been hired a few years ago.
If this group of idiots continued to be officials and the real talents were let go, the governnt wouldn’t be far from destruction.
The current emperor prided himself on being a wise ruler. Previously, he was quite proud of his achievents over the years.
In the blink of an eye, soone had exposed such a big scandal that disproved the emperor. How could the emperor not be angry?
When the emperor was angry, the imperial court felt his wrath.
The emperor imdiately ordered the Royal Minister, Leng Yu, to investigate the fraud case thoroughly. Then, he gave a secret decree for the Dark Dragon Guards to secretly investigate the officials involved in the fraud a few years ago.
As for Lu Xiangyang, the emperor imdiately sent his trusted official to capture him and secretly detain him.
For a mont, the entire governnt was unsettled. Many officials were in a precarious situation.
After this news spread, Qi Fei and Ai Mingze’s expressions changed drastically. Then, the two of them returned to their residence and discussed counterasures.
“What should we do now? Why did the matter of cheating suddenly get exposed at this juncture?! This woman called Weng Yuxin really deserves to die!” Qi Fei slapped the coffee table beside him. With a bang, the coffee table shattered into two.
Ever since he started cheating with Qi Fei, Ai Mingze had been anxious.
Now that this matter had been exposed, he was actually relieved.
“Brother Qi, now is not the ti to be angry. Let’s think about it together. When we obtained these test questions back then, we interacted with that person called Lu Xiangyang. As long as the governnt doesn’t find out about us, we’ll be safe!”
When Qi Fei heard Ai Mingze’s words, he cald down and began to recall things bit by bit. Then, he erased so traces of his involvent.
Qi Fei and the others were not the only ones doing this. The others who had bought the questions were also cleaning up after themselves.
Regardless of whether it was too late or not, they had to give it a try.
After Pei Xuanxin learned of this, his expression beca strange.
Although he didn’t participate in the cheating, he felt that the matter was a little fishy.
That was because he had seen the questions in the examination this ti.
The questions could be found among the revision questions bought by Li Yan.
Pei Xuanxin took out the revision questions he had written and looked at them one by one. As expected, he had found all the questions for this examination.
At this mont, Pei Xuanxin didn’t suspect Li Yan. Instead, he wondered if soone had used this thod to cheat.
Therefore, Pei Xuanxin planned to collect these questions and hand them to the officials in charge of investigating the cheating.
Li Yan had also heard about the cheating, so she hurriedly rushed back from grocery shopping.
As soon as he reached ho, she saw Pei Xuanxin sorting out the test questions she had given him previously and imdiately had a bad feeling.
“Husband, I heard that there was cheating in the examination. Is that true?” Li Yan quickly went forward and pulled Pei Xuanxin back as she pretended to be shocked.
“It’s true. The emperor has already sent soone to investigate!” Pei Xuanxin nodded and continued to pack the test papers.
“Then husband, why are you packing up these test papers? Are we going ho because of this?” Li Yan couldn’t help but ask, “If this continues, will we have to wait until the next exam?”
