And on Shen Xiucai's side, Zhang Yuanwai did give him a monthly increase. On this day, he just paid the monthly money, and checked the heavy silver bag in his hand, Shen Xiucai felt happy in his heart, and was ready to go home to surprise his wife.

But when he came to the door, he noticed something unusual.

Shen Xiucai hurriedly walked into the house, only to find his wife holding his young son in her arms, trembling and hiding in the corner, both of them were frightened.

Shen Xiucai's heart sank, and he saw that in his small hall, I don't know when a few officials were crowded.

These officials looked fierce and vicious, and when they saw Shen Xiucai come in, they glared at the big eyes of the copper bell, and asked in a vicious voice, "You are Shen Jixiang?" The talent in the second year of Changle?"

Shen Xiucai trembled, and when he heard the words of the official, he remembered that he was a person with a meritorious reputation, where could he be afraid of these ordinary catches in the yamen?

Thinking of this, he felt a little confident in his heart, puffed up his chest and replied, "Yes, I am Shen Jixiang!" What the hell are you doing here? If you can't tell me why, don't blame me for going to your Lord Liu to seek justice! ”

A few catchers didn't know that he was in trouble when they saw him, and they still took advantage of their identity as a showman, openly threatening them, and they were even more unhappy in their hearts: "Shen Jixiang, don't you know that you are in trouble?" The inspector recently found out that the Jiangzhou Science Field in the second year of Changle was involved in the fraud of the imperial examination. That batch of candidates for the scientific examination, no matter what status they have now, they have to tear it apart and check it! Don't you know how much ink you have in your stomach? If you have anything to say, let's go and talk to the Inspector when we put you in prison! ”

For Shen Xiucai, these words were tantamount to a thunderbolt from the sky. He really didn't cheat back then, but cheating in the field was not a trivial matter! When the Great Zhou Dynasty was just founded, there was also a case of fraud in the field, and all the students in that state were all withdrawn from the examination, and they were not allowed to re-enter the career for life.

That is, once something like this happens.

Whether he cheated or not, then his life is over.

Although he has been a Xixi seat in Zhang's Mansion for so many years, he has not saved much money. If he lost his identity as a showman, how could Zhang Fu allow him to continue to stay in the mansion? He had no other skills than teaching. Once his fame was taken away, he could only go back to Xitou Village to farm with his brother!

No! He could not accept such a fact!

He relied on his own ability to be admitted to Xiucai, what does it matter to him whether others cheated or not?

Even if it's an inspector sent by Jingli, he can't frame people with empty mouths and white teeth!

Shen Xiucai cried and screamed all the way, and was dragged to a cell by several officials and locked up. He usually cares about his face the most, but at this time, he can't care so much. He even saw Zhao Qi, a vegetable seller in Xitou Village, sitting on his ox cart, pointing at him with others.

Shen Xiucai's mind was blank, and he only kept repeating in his heart.

It's over, his life is over!

Shen Xiucai's wife took her young son and followed her all the way to the county office. But he didn't even enter the gate of the county office, so he had to return to Zhang's mansion and hurriedly went to ask Zhang Yuanwai for help.

When Zhang Yuanwai heard this, he hurried to the county office, pleaded with Liu County, and asked him to let him in to see Shen Xiucai.

Liu Xianling thought about it, Qi Wenzao didn't seem to ask himself, isolated Shen Xiucai, and didn't let others meet him. So he nodded in agreement, but only when he was accompanied by a jailer that the two of them were allowed to speak.

Shen Xiucai sat in the cell for an unknown amount of time, looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally looked forward to Zhang Yuanwai, and when he saw Zhang Yuanwai, he couldn't wait to hug his thigh through the fence.

"Master, master, you have to believe that I was wronged! I've been in Zhangfu for so many years, don't you know what kind of person I am, master? ”

Zhang Yuanwai sighed and said, "I'm afraid this is not a disaster!" The fraud case in the scientific field more than ten years ago should not have been turned over and tossed. I'm afraid that you and I offended Lord Qi, he accepted my silver on his face, but secretly hated you and me. Otherwise, what happened more than ten years ago, even if there is, how can there be any clues?"

When Shen Xiucai heard this, he felt that it made sense, but at the same time, he felt that he must be dead this time! The trumped-up case of fraud in the imperial examination may not be resolved, and if no evidence can be found, it will be released after a few days.

can offend Qi Wenzao, that's the real important thing. If Qi Wenzao really hates him, he will definitely chase after him. If you want to add sin, why should you do it? He may be folded in the hands of Qi Wenzao in this life.

But having said that, after thinking about it, the two didn't know where they offended Qi Wenzao.

"Didn't you just say a few bad things about that dead girl?" Shen Xiucai grabbed her hair like a bird's nest, "What is Jiang Xian with her, Qi Changan is not clean?" Am I wrong? Every time I go back to the village, don't the people in the village say that?"

Zhang Yuanwai can't say why, the thing he is most concerned about now is that if he really offends Qi Wenzao, then in what way will Qi Wenzao rectify himself next?

The two were relatively speechless, and were stunned for a long time.

Suddenly, listening to the jailer beside them, he laughed out loud: "Can't you figure out such a simple thing?" Why don't you want to think about it, the new inspector is surnamed Qi, and the son of Qi is also surnamed Qi, what is the relationship between the two of them? ”

Shen Xiucai and Zhang Yuanwai suddenly realized that they had calculated everything, but they didn't expect to miss this!

was so focused on Zhang Yaozu's affairs that he didn't connect Qi Changan with Qi Wenzao! You know, this is something that a three-year-old can think of, why are they so stupid that they can't think of it?

After understanding this, Zhang Yuanwai suddenly blamed Shen Xiucai in his heart. If he hadn't taken him that day, he would have talked nonsense without any words, maybe even if Qi Wenzao didn't agree, he wouldn't have made such an unpleasant fuss.

Now that Shen Xiucai is blindly stirring up, I don't know if Qi Wenzao will open up to Zhang Yaozu?

Zhang Yuanwai was so anxious that his gray hair was about to come out, and he regretted it when he thought that he had done something bad with good intentions and found an enemy for his brother out of thin air.
