"Lang supervises the city?" Fang Xu's eyelids twitched for no reason, and he frowned and murmured, "He's been really evil these days, always getting into trouble with the government!"
Fang Lan took her hand and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense, maybe it's about Xie Shu'er."
Hearing Xie Shu'er, Xie Li's eyes flashed slightly and his eyes fell on the two of them, "Mother met Xie Shu'er?"
Fang Xu nodded and said softly, "There were some conflicts and she was arrested by the government."
While the mother and son were talking, Lang Jianshi had already arrived.
"Mrs. Yongcheng." Lang Jianshi seemed hesitant to speak, as if he didn't know how to say it.
Fang Xu looked at him and said softly, "Lang Jianshi came to my house, is there something wrong?"
Lang Jianshi's eyes wandered and fell on Xie Li, but what he said shocked everyone, "Mrs. Hou, after being reported, the second young master in the house is suspected of cheating in the imperial examination. Please come with us." .”
Xie Li froze on the spot, staring straight at Lang Supervisor.
"Fraud?" Fang Xu frowned, subconsciously stood in front of Xie Li, and said in a deep voice, "Is there any evidence for this?"
Supervisor Lang shook his head and said in a low voice, "Currently there are only witnesses who say they saw Mr. Xie bribe the examiner with his own eyes."
"Since there is only witness, why should my son go to the government for interrogation?" Fang Xu protected Xie Li behind him and said loudly, "If you want to investigate, just follow me into the government."
Lang Jianshi paused and looked at each other with the officers and soldiers behind him.
Fang Xu didn't look at him again and grabbed Xie Li and entered the door.
Xie Li looked dazed and followed his mother step by step, muttering, "Mom, my son has never done anything..."
"No need to say more." Fang Xu didn't look back, "How can a mother not believe in her son?"
"Besides, you have been preparing for this imperial examination for many years, how could you allow yourself to capsize in the gutter?"
The seriousness in Fang Xu's tone didn't sound like he was lying, which shocked Xie Li.
Xie Li lowered his head, the light in his eyes was dim and unclear, making it difficult to tell what he was thinking, "Thank you, mother."
Fang Xu led everyone to the front hall. Liu Fanyin and Xie Wanzhou were both alerted and followed them to the hall.
Fang Xu slowly sat down, looked coldly at the man who followed the man in the house, and whispered, "Lang Jianshi, I wonder who framed my son?"
Lang Jianshi sighed softly and said in a deep voice, "He is the young master of the Shao family who took part in the imperial examination in the same year."
"Shao Yunzhi?"
Xie Li, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, drawing all the eyes in the room to him.
Lang Jianshi nodded, "Yes."
Fang Xu remembered something, frowned and asked, "Is this Shao Yunzhi... the one who competes with you for the Ninth Prince Consort?"
Xie Li felt ashamed and explained, "Mother, my son didn't fight with him."
Fang Xu didn't care much, waved his hand and said, "I saw last time that he had no good intentions. He is really a bad guy inside!"
"But..." Fang Xu raised his eyebrows and looked at Langjian City, "Didn't it say that the Prince Consort cannot become an official?"
"This..." Lang Jianshi looked a little embarrassed, "I don't know the inside story about this."
"I've never seen him before." Xie Li sat aside, straightening his body, and whispered, "Maybe he is hiding in a dormitory."
Fang Xu raised his eyes, looked at Lang Supervisor quietly, and said softly, "Consorts are not allowed to enter the officialdom. It is the rule of the Emperor himself. Instead of doubting my son here, Lang Supervisor should go check on the Shao family."
"This..." Director Lang hesitated in the market, and said hesitantly, "The Ninth Princess is not married yet, so the Shao family should not be considered a prince-in-law..."
Fang Xu laughed angrily and said in a cold voice, "If this is possible, wouldn't every prince-in-law be able to try his best to pursue an official career before marriage?"
"Madam, what you said is wrong..." Lang Jianshi looked embarrassed and whispered, "I am just a small official, this..."
Before Lang Supervisor finished speaking, Fang Xu skillfully took out the handkerchief and began to cry. While crying, he complained, "We orphans and widowed mothers finally have some hope in life, but we make others jealous and plot. , this is forcing our family to die!"
Fang Xu grasped the essence and cried so hard that tears fell down her cheeks. It was so pitiful.
"Lang Jianshi also has children, right?" Fang Xu held the handkerchief and said in a sincere tone, "Maybe you understand my feelings as a parent?"
"If one day, the children of Langjian City take part in the imperial examination and are framed by powerful people, will Langjian City be able to be as calm and calm as it is now?"
Every word, every word is precious.
Lang Jianshi's face sank. He thought for a long time before he raised his head again and said in a deep voice, "Mrs. Hou, please forgive me for going to Shao's house first!"
Fang Xu nodded with tears in his eyes, turned to look at Xie Li, his voice choked with sobs, "Today is the end of the second general examination. Xie Li came back to the house and told me hesitantly that he saw Shao Yunzhi handing a few cards to the examiner. The banknote seems to have purchased the contents of the volume."
"I didn't believe it before, but now that he's the evil one to complain first, I can't help but believe it anymore!"
Xie Li's eyes were full of surprise. He looked at Lang Supervisor and quickly calmed down his expression and nodded seriously, "Yes, that's right, I saw it."
Fang Xu wiped his tears, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised behind the veil.
Isn't it just a blind complaint?
As if no one can!
Only the examiner's wounded world was reached.
Supervisor Lang's face completely sank, he cupped his fists towards Fang Xu and whispered, "Mrs. Hou, I am just being confused today. Madam, please rest assured. I will definitely find out about this matter and give an explanation to the Hou family!"
Fang Xu wiped the corners of his eyes and said with a moved face, "Laurent is here to supervise the market."
Lang Jianshi took the people away, leaving only the people in the Houfu.
"Mother..." Xie Wanzhou frowned and said softly, "What should we do next?"
Fang Xu rested his elbows on the chair handles and gently stroked his forehead. He chuckled and said slowly, "If this matter is brought to light, it won't be us who should be afraid."
"Don't say that your brother didn't cheat. Even if he did, we can still help him!" Fang Xu had a calm expression on his face, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all.
"Please mother, please worry about it." Xie Li lowered his flesh and lowered his long eyelashes, saying in a warm voice.
"You don't have to say that." Fang Xu waved his hand with an easy-going look on his face, "I know you can settle this matter even without me."
"But remember, if you are slandered by others, don't think about proving your innocence or fall into the trap of self-proving." Fang Xu fiddled with his nails and said softly, "What you should do is to make those people who talk bad words in a hurry."
These words reached everyone's ears and caused quite a stir.
Xie Li smiled knowingly, lowered his eyes and said, "Son, remember your mother's teachings."
Fang Xu waved his hand and called to Su Zi, "Hurry up and ask them to bring lunch. Let's eat some together. We're going to be hungry!"
"Yes." Su Zi couldn't help laughing, and quickly walked out of the front hall. As soon as he reached the door, he saw Song Huixin rushing towards him.
"Madam, Miss Song is here!"
When Xie Li heard this, he froze slightly and looked outside involuntarily.
