With space in hand, who dares to mess with the villain's stepmother?

Thinking about this, Gu Xiaoxiao's smile slowly faded away.

She thought about the recent discovery that someone was secretly inquiring about Zhou Zeyun. It was not just "inquiry" like gossip, but was very targeted and purposeful.

Those people even intended to come to the house late at night to investigate, and all of them had some skills, although those skills were considered scum in Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes!

She has the intuition of an agent in the apocalypse, and she is even more keen on those who approach with malicious intent!
She also clearly sensed that the only target of those people was Zhou Zeyun!

Could it be that just because he won the case, he became famous?

But is a mere scholar really a threat?

She didn't believe the reason was so simple!
The closer to the provincial examination, the more eager those people were to make a move. It was not until the day of the provincial examination that Gu Xiaoxiao finally determined what those people wanted to do!
Because there was something wrong with Zhou Zeyun's exam!

Gu Xiaoxiao still sent Zhou Zeyun to the entrance of the examination room as before, and watched him go in in front of the car.

Only this time, it was not as smooth as before.

Outside the examination room, candidates were queuing up to enter one after another, and there were examiners at the door checking each candidate's belongings to prevent cheating.

At this time, it was Zhou Zeyun's turn. Gu Xiaoxiao watched from a distance as he put the test basket on his forearm, walked up to the examiner, and bowed respectfully.

Then he handed the examination basket to the examiner and waited quietly.

The examiner was about to look through it carefully when he opened the lid of the test basket and found an eye-catching small note among various items required for the test.

After unfolding, the above content is also very intuitive, and several question types extracted from books are recorded.

The examiners exchanged glances, and it was obvious that this was the cheat sheet they were going to bring into the examination room.

Everyone was silent for a while. The examiners looked at Zhou Zeyun with strange eyes. The candidates in line also stared at the person involved, with surprise in their eyes, and more of a secret joy that their opponent was about to lose one person.

People who are close can see it clearly, and they can't help but sneer in their hearts.

This brother's cheating is too blatant!At least you should hide the cheat sheet deeper!It’s not like the examiner was discovered without even turning over the pages!It can only be said that this person does not take the strict discipline of the examination room seriously!

Now all I can say is "it's your own fault"!

Zhou Zeyun's eyes were also full of shock. He always compiled his test basket by himself, and would also prepare some snacks that Gu Xiaoxiao made for him in case he got hungry during the long test.

Except for the two of them, no one has touched him, and Gu Xiaoxiao will not harm him!
If Gu Xiaoxiao wanted to prevent him from taking the exam, he would not have let him study with the children in the first place, nor would he have allowed Teacher Xu to teach seriously for many days. He must have believed her!
If she had bad intentions, there would be no need to go to such trouble!

Before Zhou Zeyun could think about which link had gone wrong, the examiner looked coldly and signaled to the guard beside him.

The examiners have all been examiners for many years, and naturally they have seen a lot of opportunistic people like this. As civil servants, they hate this kind of people in their hearts, and they are even more reluctant to say anything more on the surface.

The guard on the side stepped forward and Zhou Zeyun was suppressed.

Those who cheat in the examination room must first be taken to the Yamen. In ancient times when imperial examinations were valued, cheating in the examination room was also a crime. They had to go to the Yamen to record it first and be fined. The most important thing is that they are not allowed to take the Imperial Examination route again in the future!Such people will not be allowed to exist in the court!

Moreover, due to lack of credit, it is impossible to do business, which means that this person is already a useless person!

When the guards were about to escort Zhou Zeyun to the Yamen, Gu Xiaoxiao hurried over, stopped the guards, and protected Zhou Zeyun.

Qian Bin had to look at the carriage worriedly from a distance!

Gu Xiaoxiao had seen everything just now, and naturally he also saw the note taken out of Zhou Zeyun's test basket.

She believes that Zhou Zeyun is not the kind of person who cheats, not to mention that with his ability, there is no need to cheat!
Gu Xiaoxiao had heard Teacher Xu's compliments to Zhou Zeyun every day. According to Teacher Xu's personality, his words were definitely not an exaggeration!

So this matter can only be framed by someone!

And it must be related to those people who have been secretly spying on Zhou Zeyun these days!
They want to destroy Zhou Zeyun!
Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes darkened.

As the saying goes, I will not offend others unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will get rid of them!

She has always been a vengeful person, it's best if those people don't let her find out!

For just a moment, Gu Xiaoxiao hid the cruelty in his eyes, put on a smile, tried to defend himself, and said to the examiner in front of him: "Sir, a civilian woman is this man's wife, I think there must be a misunderstanding! If If my husband-in-law really wants to cheat, he knows that there will be serious and responsible people like you checking before entering the examination room. No matter how stupid he is, he will know to hide it deeper, let alone someone like my husband-in-law who is about to take the provincial examination. How can he If you just put the note on the surface, wouldn't you be asking for trouble? So there must be a misunderstanding, I hope you will find out!"

After being pointed out directly by Gu Xiaoxiao, the candidates who thought this matter was a bit too obvious also began to think about it.

Indeed, if civilians do something shameful, they have to hide it without being discovered. What's more, they are already known as scholars who are about to take the provincial examination. Even if they cheat, they can't put the note on the surface!
Zhou Zeyun pursed his lips lightly. He really didn't want Gu Xiaoxiao to stand up for him. This matter was not a small matter at all. He wanted to solve it by himself, and he was unwilling to involve Gu Xiaoxiao in any case.

What's more, if a woman is outside and stands among a group of men, she will be gossiped about. Although he doesn't care about these secular rules, he is not a feudal and conservative person. Otherwise, he would not have fully supported Gu Xiaoxiao when he was doing business. It's just that this People's words are terrible, spitting stars will drown people, he is afraid that Gu Xiaoxiao will be sad!
The examiners also thought of this unreasonable point. The examiner in front of them looked at Zhou Zeyun, and then said to Gu Xiaoxiao: "'Mingcha' is the job of the yamen. We are only responsible for the affairs of the examination room. Whether he is really cheating or not" It is also up to the Yamen to make a decision after investigation. If the young lady wants to seek justice for your husband, she should also go to the Yamen!"

Then the examiner gave the guards another look, signaling them to arrest him.

Gu Xiaoxiao hurriedly said: "Sir, since you are not sure whether my husband-in-law really cheated, and the note has been found, why not let my husband-in-law take the exam first? If he goes to the Yamen now, he will If you miss this provincial examination, you will have to wait for another three years. After the examination, it is not too late for us to go to the Yamen to find out the facts!" "This is absolutely not possible! The rules are the rules. The note was found from your husband, no matter what Whether he did it or not, we will have to go to the Yamen. He will not pass the provincial examination today. Madam, there is no need to waste your breath. You might as well go to the Yamen earlier and investigate the matter clearly. If you are really innocent, be well prepared. Let’s take the provincial examination once!” The examiner looked helpless.

Gu Xiaoxiao was about to say something, but Zhou Zeyun stopped him.

Zhou Zeyun shook his head at her. The matter has come to this, and it is useless to say anything. The examiner is telling the truth. He is a decent person. If he didn't cheat, he didn't cheat. Even if he waits for another three years, he will take the exam again. The top priority now is to go to the Yamen to clarify the matter and clear his name!

Gu Xiaoxiao pouted, but still didn't want to give up.

Three years, a lot of things can happen in three years, and she didn't want to wait for three more years for no reason. Zhou Zeyun was obviously not wrong!

But for a while, she couldn't think of a way to prove her innocence on the spot.

Anxious.

At this moment, a boy came out of the examination room, walked to the examiner with his head lowered, whispered a few words in a low voice, and then entered the examination room again without stopping at all.

Then a team of policemen came over with a person in custody. The head policeman at the front said: "Is there any candidate here who has been wronged? We have caught the person who did the trick. We are about to take him to the Yamen. I'm passing by here to say something, after all, the imperial examination is of great importance, we can't just accuse someone unjustly, wouldn't it be a pity for the Han country if he turns out to be a talented person?"

Zhou Zeyun and Gu Xiaoxiao immediately looked over. The man being held in custody lowered his head, but their eyes lit up as they thought of the strange face that had bumped into Zhou Zeyun just before the incident.

The man ignored the students lining up and just passed through the middle of the queue. The position he inserted was right behind Zhou Zeyun. As if there was something urgent, he apologized hastily after meeting Zhou Zeyun and disappeared without waiting for a response. In the streets and alleys.

It turns out that he was not just a passerby passing by in a hurry, his target from the beginning was Zhou Zeyun!
Now that I think about it, it’s really strange. Although there were many students for the provincial examination and there was a long queue, the space for passers-by to walk was also very spacious. It was really not to the point of trying to get in among the students!

It would be strange to say that there is no ulterior motive!

After explaining the truth of the matter, the chief detective bowed respectfully to the examiners. After all, the examiners were civil servants from the imperial court who were responsible for the examination. Then he led his fellow detectives and escorted the man away.

The matter was clearly explained, and it was indeed proven that Zhou Zeyun had no motive for cheating. The examiner who had spoken before also opened his mouth and allowed Zhou Zeyun to enter the examination room.

Zhou Zeyun greeted Gu Xiaoxiao and followed the other students who passed the examination into the examination room.

He still had doubts about what had just happened, but now that the exam was important, he suppressed the doubts in his heart for the time being and prepared to answer the test with all his heart.

Gu Xiaoxiao, who was outside the examination room, looked deeply at the direction the detectives left, which was the direction of the Yamen, and had the same doubts as Zhou Zeyun in his heart!

Things happened very quickly, and most of the people present were just watching the excitement. The examiners were preoccupied with preventing Zhou Zeyun from entering the examination room, and they certainly didn't think of reporting him to the examiners. What's more, they all believed that Zhou Zeyun was cheating. , there was no need to report to the officials to find out the truth. In the end, they just said that if there was any grievance, they would go to the Yamen to find out.

So, who reported it to the official?
Gu Xiaoxiao didn't believe that the Yamen police officers didn't receive any reports. He happened to see them while patrolling on the street, and happened to arrest someone. After arresting someone, he happened to pass by and specifically said something, and their words happened to be completely solved. Zhou Zeyun's suspicion can be taken as normal!
Where do all these "coincidences" come from!

And even if a report is received, it will not be accepted so quickly. Even just looking at the demeanor of the chief of the police, he was still a bit flattering. Gu Xiaoxiao guessed that someone was putting pressure on him behind the scenes!
Although it is not believable, can a big shot put pressure on Zhou Zeyun?But there is a saying that goes well, after eliminating all possibilities of error, the remaining one can no longer be the truth!

Gu Xiaoxiao withdrew his eyes and glanced at the examiner in front of him. Who sent the boy just now?What did you say to the examiner again?
She intuitively felt that the young man must have something to do with this matter. If she found out who the young man was, she might be able to solve the mystery in her heart.

When the examiner met Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes, his heart skipped a beat for no reason. Those eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts, making him feel like he had nothing to hide.

This young couple is not easy to mess with. Although the scholar is gentle and elegant, the indifference in his eyes makes people feel scared. Only when he looks at this young lady is he as gentle as water. That person will definitely not be underestimated in the future. Got it!
Not to mention anything else, as long as he has that person's protection behind him, he will definitely rise to a higher position in the future!

The examiner thought silently in his mind and continued to do the inspection without saying much.

Gu Xiaoxiao's mood moved, and she quietly withdrew from the crowd and went to a remote corner. She looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to her, then she jumped up and disappeared within the high wall.

A few hours later, the rural examination was completed.

Zhou Zeyun walked out of the examination room slowly and saw Gu Xiaoxiao standing in front of his carriage from a distance, smiling as usual, waiting for him.

Zhou Zeyun's heart softened, and he recalled in his mind the way Gu Xiaoxiao was eager to defend him before. Such a person who did everything indifferently would not be overwhelmed by anything. Seeing her so anxious, the last time Dabao was kidnapped.

He knew that the person who could make her care so much must be the person in her heart. He knew that she had him in her heart, but he didn't know where he was in her heart.

Gu Xiaoxiao watched Zhou Zeyun approach, the tenderness and sweetness in his eyes could not be ignored, and her heart was slowly melted by that look.

Thinking about what she had just discovered, her eyes were secretly determined, no matter who it was, they could not touch her!

Gu Xiaoxiao, who disappeared within the high wall at that time, went around the various courtyards in the examination room. She wanted to find the boy who was talking to the examiner. It would be even better if she could see who the owner of the boy was. alright!
It's just a pity that she missed it.

She checked quietly for several times, but could not find the boy. Just when she was about to leave with some disappointment, she keenly heard a sound from the remote door in the backyard.

Gu Xiaoxiao quickly looked towards the source of the sound, but unfortunately it was too late. She only saw a very simple and simple carriage leaving. From the decoration of the carriage, it was impossible to tell who it belonged to.

but……

Gu Xiaoxiao, who was hiding in the blind corner of the roof, squinted his eyes and looked at the cars going away.

After being away for many months, I really can’t write anymore. One chapter is [-] words. It’s too painful to type on my mobile phone. But I will definitely finish this article, but the cycle is very long. I’m trying my best to catch up. I hope I can get to the highlight of the later stage as soon as possible. I originally planned to write a million words for this article. Unfortunately, as a newbie, I overestimated myself. I don’t know how many babies are watching. I have kept you waiting for a long time and I have disappointed you. But I won’t give up on this article, so don’t worry, everyone. I’m also considering starting a new article, but I’m afraid I won’t have much time to write it.
