Chapter 32: Unrecognized Death

"oh?"

Xiao Ye and Chen Zi'ang's eyes lit up.

An old hen costs dozens of cents, which seems inexpensive, but the Tang Dynasty was in its prosperous era and the prices were not high. Unlike the rising and falling prices in Guanzhong, Jiangnan and Jianghuai, as the main grain producing areas, the grain prices have been stable for many years at three to four cents per dou of rice, and a piece of silk of average quality, about two hundred cents.

Jiang Fang's mother was washing and sewing people. Due to the low prices, her daily income would not exceed fifty cents. Considering the physical discomfort, she would have a discount on her efficiency, which was likely to be around thirty cents, and she had to pay for Jiang Fang's study.

Even if you can save as much as you want in food, the expenses of pen, ink, paper and ink are a must-have, and you can’t save a penny.

Therefore, it is almost unimaginable for Jiang Fang's family background to spend dozens of cents to buy an old hen.

"Hey!"

The old man suddenly thought of something and said again: "The boy invited the doctor from Jishantang to treat his mother yesterday. Jishantang is the best medicine shop in Yangzhou. Just the medical expenses are worth one or two silver. The medicine money is calculated. I don't know where he made a fortune and even paid back the money he owed to neighbors over the years. As expected, after studying, he has a bright future!"

Xiao Ye and Chen Zi'ang could confirm 100%. Jiang Fang took away the ill-gotten wealth and framed himself, and his face became gloomy. Deciding people's fame and fortune was like killing their parents, which was an irreconcilable hatred!

"Old man, then we're over!"

Xiao Ye squeezed out a smile and pulled Chen Zi'ang away.

Following the old man's instructions, he turned around the alley, came to the third courtyard, and knocked on the door.

"Who?"

Jiang Fang's voice came from the room, and the Chaibanmen door was also opened.

When Jiang Fang saw Xiao Ye and Chen Zi'ang outside the station, he suddenly changed his expression and was about to close the door without saying a word!

Xiao Ye kicked and said coldly: "Since you are here, don't you invite us in and sit down?"

Sweat beads oozing from Jiang Fang's forehead. The money he collected the day before yesterday was signed. Yesterday, he signed a joint guarantee document. Early this morning, people came to him. So what's wrong?

"Jin'er, who's here? Why don't you invite someone in?"

At this time, a woman's voice came from the room.

"Oh, please, please!"

Jiang Fang reluctantly opened the door and threw a warning look.

Xiao Ye and Chen Zi'ang walked into the yard with expressionless faces.

Jiang Fang's family is standard as soon as they enter the courtyard, with a main hall, east-west and east-west wardrobe, wood-room and kitchen hall. Jiang Fang's mother lives in the east wing. As soon as she enters the house, a strong smell of medicine hits her face. A woman in her forties lies on the bed, with a pale face, thin cheeks, sunken cheeks, and a tired look.

Even though the weather was not so cold in March, there were still dense tiny gaps on the back of the black and yellow hands.

This is obviously the result of long-term soaking hands in ice water to wash laundry.

Originally, the two were about to seek a riot, but looking at the woman's appearance, I couldn't help but feel soft and both bowed: "I have seen Madam, we are all students who take the exam this year. I came to visit Jiang Lang before the exam. If there is any disturbance, I hope the wife will forgive me!"

"Oh, that's what you said!"

When the woman heard this, she was about to sit up. Her son passed the exam and passed the Tongsheng exam. She felt that all the hardships she suffered were worth it. Today, two classmates with good temperament came to visit her, which made her even more happy from the bottom of her heart.

"Madam, don't be polite, let's say a few words to Jiang Lang!"

Xiao Ye quickly pressed the woman down.

"Hey, there is nothing at home and I can't entertain you. I'll make you laugh!"

The woman sighed apologetically.

"Madam, don't be polite, let's just say a few words to Jiang Lang."

Chen Zi'ang also advised and gave Jiang Fang a wink.

Jiang Fang said knowingly: "Mom, I'll go out and be back soon!"

"Well, go, don't worry, treat them well on behalf of your mother!"

The woman waved.

The three of them turned around and came out. Jiang Fang led the way in front, silent, his expression changed several times, and he stopped until he arrived at a remote alley.

Xiao Ye and Chen Zi'ang didn't speak, just looked at him.

Although Jiang Fang forced himself to act as if nothing had happened, his heart was as tight as a string. He naturally knew the purpose of the two. As a scholar, he was also a child of one in a hundred. He also knew that he would frame others by suicide cheating. Not only would he have to bear the bad reputation, but he was also uneasy. However, his mother was seriously ill and had no money, so he was afraid that he would not survive this year. He was forced to a dead end.

Moreover, he could not afford to offend the person who gave him the money. He was a small leader in the local Cao Gang. He also wrote a receipt, signed and wrote a note, and there was no way out.

‘Well, all the evil things have been done anyway!’

Jiang Fang took a deep breath and looked at Xiao Ye and Chen Zi'ang with a cold look.

Xiao Ye said lightly: "Don't look at us like this. It's because you didn't expose you on the spot. It's because of your mother's face."

“Ha~~”

Jiang Fang took the initiative and smiled: "What did I do? What a joke. I, Jiang Fang, was open-minded. Instead, the two of them sneaked into my house. Do you want to give me an explanation?"

Chen Zi'ang suddenly felt angry and snorted: "You have collected Shi Jin's money and planned to cheat in the exam room to implicate us. At this time, you still want to deny it, so why don't you be afraid that we will sue you for the school administration?"

Jiang Fang said stubbornly: "I don't know anything about Shi Jin at all. I have some money. It was someone else who saw that my mother was very filial and lent it to me. You were the ones who asked me to make a security. Now you are the ones who are trapping me and will cheat in the exam room. It's simply unreasonable. I don't have time to talk to you. If you want to sue the official, just go and sue me. Why are you afraid of me, Jiang, is innocent?"

Chen Zi'ang said furiously: "Your mother has pulled you up just to have a good future. You ruin your fame and fortune. Are you worthy of your mother? Are you not afraid that we will tell your mother about this?"

Jiang Fang's face suddenly became ferocious and said hatefully: "My mother is almost out of reach. If she is stimulated for this, I will not let you go if I become a ghost!"

"you……"

Chen Zi'ang had never seen such a person before and was about to go up and beat him, but Xiao Ye grabbed him and said in a deep voice: "Let him go!"

"snort!"

Jiang Fang snorted, not daring to see Xiao Ye at all. He lowered his head and returned quickly.

"Xiao Lang, this person is so hateful, why stop me?"

Chen Zi'ang said unhappy.

Xiao Ye said: "We fought with him, and there was a stir and someone reported it to the official position. Shi Jin must use some money to handle it. I am afraid that we will be deprived of our reference qualifications without waiting for Chiang's fraud."

Chen Zi'ang suddenly burst into cold sweat.

Yes, no matter whether it is a matter of trouble, he will be punished by the officials. Moreover, Tong Sheng is not like a scholar. If a scholar does not worship him when he sees an official, Tong Sheng has no preferential treatment. If he really wants to be taken to the county government, Shi Jin will do something bad about it, and he may be able to get a meal. Even if he is not pursued and the matter is over, he will be beaten to death. Can he still take the exam?

"What should we do? Would you let him frame us?"

Chen Zi'ang was confused and said anxiously.

Xiao Ye said: "The so-called catching evil people is a pair, catching thieves and taking stolen goods. If you can't get Jiang Fang's stolen silver, it's useless to say anything. You're just half a month away from the start of the exam. I'll stare at him these days to see where he hid the silver. As long as you find his money, you can report to the official or persuade him. The initiative will be held in my hands. Let's go back first!"

"Oh, I really didn't expect that there would be such twists and turns in the exam!"
