"Cousin, I beg you, please save me, I really didn't mean to read the leaked topic, and I didn't mean to quote the leaked topic article, if you want to blame it, you can only blame Xu An, I was asleep, why did he knock on my door with those articles? Now he's been caught, and even I'm not immune. Please, uncle, save me, my future and my life cannot be ruined! ”

Bai Yizhi knelt in front of Bai Shangshu, pulled his robe and cried, snot and tears, and Bai Shangshu was disgusted when he saw it. endured and endured, but did not kick him away.

"Now your future must be untenable, as for your life. It will be up to you to make it. Bai Shangshu couldn't help but sigh slightly, now that he was tired of everything, he had an extra nephew who was not angry and caused trouble for him, "In front of the saint, I will try my best to intercede for you and help you clear up the relationship." ”

"That cousin, the spring ...... in three years"

"As for whether it will be in three years or six years later, you don't even think about it. Holy Lord, this person can't tolerate sand in his eyes, and he has already sent to see you if he can spare your life, do you still want to continue to participate in the Spring Festival? Bai Shangshu looked down at his cousin with some hatred, "When you return to your hometown in the future, ask your father for some money, do some small business, marry a daughter-in-law, give birth to a son, and hope that your son will gain fame for you." ”

These children of their Bai family in the township, one or two of them are not promising, so they know that they can't read well if they die studying. In addition to squandering money and being extravagant, not to mention losing the face of their Bai family, now they dare to openly cheat in the Spring Festival.

There are not many children of their Bai family who have come out of nowhere, and he is the only one who is now sitting in the above positions, even if he wants to promote his brothers and juniors, he can't be promoted.

The future of their Bai family depends on these people, and there is no way to get ahead, only Ling Yu is the hope of their family.

Even if they can't be in that supreme position, the position of prime minister under this person must be their Bai family.

Whether it is Shangguan Min or Shangguan Yinling, in the end, they can only become defeated under their father and son.

"Thank you cousin, thank you cousin for saving your life......" Bai Yizhi kowtowed again and again, now he is fortunate to be able to save his life, as for the matter of Chunqiu, he can only wait for the future.

Human beings naturally have all kinds of hope when they are alive.

The night was deep, Bai Yizhi got up and left the Prime Minister's Mansion, and soon after he left, Bai Shangshu also left the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Outside the prison of the Criminal Department, Bai Shangshu's people, who had been waiting for a long time, saw someone coming, so they turned around and took the key to open the door of the prison of the Criminal Department, and walked into the prison of the Criminal Department with Bai Shangshu.

Several candidates who were caught cheating in the spring of this year are all locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department, and including Xu An, a candidate who has close contacts with Bai Yizhi.

"Which of you is Xu An?" The man in the uniform of the official said to the few candidates in the prison who sighed in a low voice.

"I am." A weak-looking scholar stood up, walked a few steps towards them, and looked at Bai Shangshu in a cloak with some puzzlement, "Is there something wrong with the two of you looking for me?" ”

"You are Xu An? I heard that you bought an article that leaked questions in Suwen Loulou, have you shown this article to other candidates? Bai Shangshu asked.

"This is naturally there, the night I took the article back, I knocked on the door of a candidate next to me and shared the article with him." Although Xu An is still righteous enough, he is not to the extent that he can give up his future and life for others, "In order to be less punished for himself, he naturally has to answer questions." ”

"No, you didn't show this leaked article to anyone, only you read the article yourself." Bai Shangshu corrected, raised his head slightly, and looked at Xu An's face with a sharp gaze, "Only by saying this, can you hold the lives of your family, understand?" ”

"Who are you? What exactly do you want to do? Xu An was a little panicked, his family was wealthy, although his father was a well-known local rich businessman, but he couldn't fight with these people in the court, the so-called people don't fight with officials, once these officials want to kill one of them, it's easy, "I obviously lent him the article to read, how can I say no?" ”

"Xu An, it stands to reason that you can come to participate in the Spring Festival, and you must have been studying hard for more than ten years, why can't you understand this reason? If you accidentally talk out during the interrogation tomorrow, if you have the life to leave this prison and go back to your hometown, you will find out. You're the only one left in the house. Still don't understand? ”

Xu An understands no matter how stupid he is, this is Bai Yi's thigh that he clenched in order to protect himself, and used the lives of his family to threaten him and force him not to tell the truth of the matter.

It's a pity that he regards Bai Yizhi as his own brother, and this Bai Yizhi still wants the life of his family.

"Got it." Now that he is in prison, even if he has the life to go out, if he offends the people behind the Bai family, he will not be able to save his family, so he simply takes all the blame on himself. If he dies, his family can live in peace.

"Good." Bai Shangshu turned around and walked quickly out of the prison of the Criminal Department, and the official followed behind him and locked the door of the prison of the boss of the Criminal Department.

"Don't worry, I will handle everything properly, my lord, this Xu An will definitely not say more than half a word about the young master." The official said in a low voice.

"I'm relieved, I naturally feel at ease if you are in the prison of the Criminal Department."

After speaking, Bai Shangshu disappeared into the night in a hurry.

At this moment, a man in black who had been hiding at the corner of the street hurried back to the Special Cases Division.

"Is that true?" In the Special Cases Division, Xu Yun frowned slightly, why did he go to the prison of the Criminal Department in the middle of the night?

"My lord," another brother hurried outside the main hall, "the young man who came in and out of the Shangshu Mansion, we know his identity." ”

"Oh? Speak quickly. ”

"This person is Bai Shangshu's nephew Bai Yizhi, and he is also a candidate who entered Beijing to take the exam this time."

"Not long after Bai Yizhi entered and exited the Prime Minister's Mansion late at night, Bai Shangshu hurriedly went to the prison of the Criminal Department, why is this?" Xu Yun frowned and pondered for a while, and suddenly thought that the Spring Festival was over, and a few cheating candidates had just been arrested, "Could it be that this matter is related to those cheating candidates?" ”

If not, why did Bai Shangshu go to the prison late at night?
