Tang Bohu Marries Qiuxiang

Chapter 197
Tang Bohu glanced at Xu Zhenqing who was standing behind him, stared at the candle as if thinking about something, and said, "Where did this bracelet come from?"

"A gift from a friend." Xu Zhenqing said: "The quality is not very good, and it is still a defective product, not worth a lot of money."

"On weekdays, I see you living in secluded places, or disappearing suddenly. Why are you interested in watching me interrogate the prisoner now?"

Xu Zhenqing said calmly: "Am I not going to say anything? I'm going out for a walk, I'm going to have a spring, I don't want to make myself too depressed."

Tian San came to Tang Bohu's side and reported in a low voice: "My lord, Li Dongyang and Cheng Minzheng are here."

Tang Bohu nodded upon hearing the sound.

Li Dongyang and Cheng Minzheng came to an open space in Tangzhuang, Tang Bohu interrogated in the dark,
"It's novel for Tang Bohu to interrogate the prisoner." Li Dongyang smiled wryly.

Cheng Minzheng saw two people kneeling on the ground, and Tang Bohu who was sitting motionless on the grand master's chair.

"Master Cheng, you are finally here!" Tang Bohu said with a smile.

Cheng Minzheng ignored Tang Bohu with hatred on his face, but stepped forward and slapped the little book boy on the face, "I've treated you well all these years! The cost of food and drink is the same without you."

"My lord, I know I was wrong." Cheng Minzheng's little book boy knelt on the ground and said.

"I know I'm wrong?" Cheng Minzheng slapped his school boy on the face again, the slap sounded very much, echoing in the dark night.

"Once and again, several times and three times!" Cheng Minzheng scolded angrily: "On weekdays, I turned a blind eye to you stealing petty things at home. At the beginning, I couldn't bear to adopt you as a poor old man! Even if you made some small mistakes I can bear it! But you bastard even dared to take the imperial examination!"

While Cheng Minzheng was yelling and scolding his own book boy, Li Dongyang whispered to Tang Bohu: "Are you so pushy?"

Tang Bohu recalled Li Dongyang's warning to him at the beginning, and then said: "I always remember it in my heart, but I also know about the imperial examination in my heart, which is of great importance! I have to do it."

"Then what are you going to do next?" Li Dongyang asked.

"To be honest, I don't know either." Tang Bohu said troubledly: "Actually, I wanted to write a report letter and hand it over to you, but I was worried, so I had to bear it myself."

"Tang Bohu, do you know the seriousness of this matter?" Li Dongyang said: "People's words are terrible. If the imperial examination questions are leaked this time, it will be an imperial examination scandal in this dynasty. How do you want us to end!"

"So I didn't do anything to let the wind out." Tang Bohu continued: "I tried my best to keep the scope of knowledge of this matter within my own control."

"There is no impenetrable wall in the world!" Li Dongyang said: "Can you guarantee that everyone around you will keep their mouths shut? If someone sincerely wants to dig, they won't fail!"

"Li Ge's old words are right!" Tang Bohu nodded and said, "Do you want to step down and kill everyone present!"

"Why!" Li Dongyang turned his head and asked.

"Because only the dead can keep secrets!" Tang Bohu said grimly, "Tian San, you killed everyone present, and then committed suicide!"

"My lord is humble..." Tian San was a little at a loss.

"Can't it be done?" Tang Bohu turned his head and said, "Why don't you commit suicide first, and then I'll kill everyone here for you."

Li Dongyang couldn't listen any longer, Tang Bohu couldn't help but say, "I heard that your Tangzhuang has something called a mock exam?"

"Yes!" Tang Bohu said solemnly: "This is a new regulation issued by our academy, I came up with it."

"This method is not bad." Li Dongyang continued: "Actually, the leakage of the test questions is not impossible to remedy."

Tang Bohu understood Li Dongyang's meaning and said, "Is Mr. Li Ge trying to use mock exams to cover up the leakage of the imperial examination questions?"

"At the moment, we can only do this." Li Dongyang said: "Just take the test questions that Xu Jing got for the mock test, and then I will advise His Majesty to ask the Imperial Academy to draw up a new test question."

"Mock exam?" Tang Bohu said: "Mr. Li Ge, is this going to set a precedent since the imperial examinations of all dynasties? Using mock exams to cover up the leakage of the imperial examination questions can not only prevent scholars and scholars from leaking the imperial examination questions in the future. Taking precautions for the upcoming accountability, and making scholars feel grateful for the imperial court's mock exam, this will undoubtedly increase their chances of being named on the gold list, killing two birds with one stone! Great, great!"

Li Dongyang said with a smile: "You can know that Xu Jing is going to buy the test questions like a prophet. This old man also admires you, and you are also very good!"

"No matter how good I am, I'm not as good as you, an old fox." Tang Bohu said.

"Tang Bohu!" Li Dongyang looked at the other party suspiciously and said: "The more I think about it this time, the more I feel that something is wrong. Did Xu Jing offend you somewhere? Is this a trick you played for him?"

"No!" Tang Bohu replied bluntly.

"It's true!" Li Dongyang dispelled his doubts, "If you want to deal with Xu Jing, you won't risk the nail of the imperial examination to calculate, you must have hundreds of ways to let Xu Jing's corpse lie quietly in the wilderness."

"Mr. Li Ge, stop making trouble." Tang Bohu said, "I'm such a ruthless person, lying dead in the wilderness?"

"Then what are you going to do with these two people?" Li Dongyang asked.

"It's over." Tang Bohu said a little disappointed: "It's better to find a secluded and safe place to bury after killing."

Li Dongyang looked at Tang Bohu with disgust and said, "Didn't you just say that you are not a cruel person?"

"Occasionally, I'm cruel." Tang Bohu said with a smile, "But I'm usually very gentle."

"Tang Qianhu!" Cheng Minzheng walked up and said, "I would like to ask Mr. Tang to forgive me on this matter."

Cheng Minzheng interrupted the conversation between Li Dongyang and Tang Bohu, and for a few minutes he was still thinking about what kind of place is suitable for burying people.

"Let's be more generous?" Tang Bohu thought about it and said, "That's fine, I'll give them six whole corpses, and have a good time!"

Cheng Minzheng: "..."

"I'm already very open-minded." Tang Bohu said.

"Let's put them in custody first." Li Dongyang said: "We are making a decision after His Majesty has made a decision."

"That's fine." Cheng Minzheng was a little embarrassed, "Detained? But this matter can't be revealed yet. Where should we detain them better?"

"Just lock it up with me." Tang Bohu stood up and said, "After His Majesty has made a decision, we are thinking about how to deal with these two guys."
