Yunfei Academy.

In the dining hall, Jiang Zhaoyong deliberately sat opposite Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao ​​with his rice bowl in his hand.

"Recently, someone in the academy insinuated that some people got the first and second place in the exam because they leaked the questions. How can this be talking about you?"

Both Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao ​​had heard about it.

Chu Xuyuan frowned and said distressedly, "I also felt like I was talking about us, but there are so many people in the academy, I don't know who is behind the scenes."

Jiang Zhaoyong was silent and asked, "Did you offend anyone?"

Chu Xuyao ​​suddenly raised his head, his small face twitched tightly, and said, "Except for He Shaozhi and Su Wenji, no one else is so hostile to us."

Jiang Zhaoyong thought for a while, "If it's so obvious, if they did this, wouldn't it be exposed by you all at once?"

Chu Xuyuan said helplessly, "So...we can't guess who it is."

Jiang Zhaoyong looked at the two, smiled and said, "Think of a way, aren't you very smart?"

Chu Xuyuan bowed his head and drank the soup. If he didn't talk to Jiang Zhaoyong, if he could think of a way, he would have already implemented it, and he is still depressed here.

Chu Xuyao ​​glared at Jiang Zhaoyong, ignored him, lowered his head to eat, and secretly thought of a way.

Jiang Zhaoyong didn't speak any more, and buried himself in his meal.

"Have you heard, I just heard that there is a teacher in the academy who missed the students' questions, otherwise the student would not be able to rank among the best."

"Is there any basis for this matter? Don't talk nonsense if there is no basis."

"I don't know, I just listen to gossip anyway, but the test questions in our academy are usually strict masters, isn't this rumor saying that he missed the questions?"

"Master Yan lives reclusively and rarely interacts with others except in class. Will he miss questions?"

"I heard that two juniors have gotten very close to Master Yan in the past few months, and the person who leaked the question..."

"Smack!!!" Chu Xuyao ​​slapped the table, making a lot of noise. The students around all looked at Chu Xuyao, and the surroundings became quiet.

Chu Xuyao ​​said word by word, "Master Yan's character is obvious to all, so don't talk nonsense."

The student closest to Chu Xuyao ​​said displeasedly, "The rumors are so, and we didn't say it on purpose, we have the ability to find those who spread rumors."

"Then who did you hear that from?" Chu Xuyao's face was very dark. Master Yan is already miserable enough, and it's hard to think about it being said like that.

That student didn't bother with a younger junior brother, but his face was not very good-looking, as if he was slandering behind his back, "Everyone is talking, just listen to it casually."

Chu Xuyao ​​looked around at everyone, and said in a stern tone, "The academy is obviously a holy place for studying, but you have made it like a vegetable market, talking and slandering the master at will, and gossiping, what is the difference with those uncles and aunts?"

The faces of the students who were talking about rumors immediately turned ugly, and at least 60% to 70% of the entire academy was talking about rumors. Chu Xuyao's words offended most of the academy.

With a cold face, Chu Xuyao ​​said loudly, "The two younger juniors you are talking about who are close to Master Yan are me and my seventh brother, but I swear by my character, the master will never miss any questions for us, and the test papers we do are all based on our ability."

He paused for a moment, slamming his words, "Whoever is spreading rumors behind your back, you'd better quell the rumors yourself, otherwise if you get caught by me, I will definitely make you regret it for the rest of your life."

The entire dining hall was silent, except for Chu Xuyao's immature, firm, and serious voice.

Chu Xuyuan stood resolutely behind Chu Xuyao, his fists clenched tightly, and his body stretched straight, united front with his younger brother. Although the younger brother seemed to have offended half of the academy, as an older brother, he couldn't back down.

Jiang Zhaoyong smiled silently, these two children...he really wanted to know how they would solve this matter!

The matter in the canteen quickly reached the ears of the dean of the academy, Mu Chongli. He took a sip of tea, smiled lightly, and ignored it. He also wanted to know what skills Chu Qingzhi's younger brother had. !

...

Shuiyun County.

There was a long queue at the gate of the county government office. These people were servants and servants of the shopkeepers, and they came to register at the county government office with fake bank notes in their hands.

Chu Xujin has already begun to investigate the counterfeit money case, the first thing is to count the losses.

He posted a notice asking the merchants to record the fake money they received at home to see how much they lost, and to determine the size of the case based on the amount of fake money. By the way, the fake banknotes were taken back so that they would not be circulated and more people would suffer.

Unexpectedly, not long after the notice was posted, many people came to line up to record it, and even some ordinary people received fake bank notes.

Looking at the stacks of counterfeit banknotes in the box, Chu Xujin's expression gradually became serious. This matter is not small.

He returned to his office and was going to write letters to several nearby counties to see if the criminals were only active in Shuiyun County, or if all the counties were harmed.

To his surprise, before he finished writing his letter, police officers from several nearby counties came to report the letter, saying that their county was flooded with fake money, and planned to cooperate with Shuiyun County to investigate.

Chu Xujin naturally agreed without saying a word.

It's just that this case is really difficult to get started. Several people discussed it, but still have no clue.

The police officer from Tongzi County suggested, "Lord Chu, why don't you go back and ask your fifth sister?" Chu Qingzhi has already been famous and well-known, and everyone knows her ability.

Chu Xujin pinched the center of his eyebrows, there was nothing to do, so he agreed, "Okay, you guys go with me, if you have any questions, ask them together, by the way, it's okay to ask my fifth sister, and the credit will be..."

All the arresters immediately assured, "Lord Chu, don't worry, we will never get involved with Miss Chu."

Chu Xujin then took everyone to Chujia Village, Ge Lihua stayed here to watch everyone register, and did not go back together.

...

Chu Family Village.

The whole Chu family village was enveloped in the smell of soybean paste. As soon as they entered the village, they couldn't help swallowing hard.

The policeman from Suiyang County quickly asked, "Lord Chu, why is your village so fragrant?"

Chu Xujin and You Rong said, "My fifth sister is making soybean paste."

"Soy bean paste?" The arresters shook their heads quickly, "I've never heard of it."

Chu Xujin took the opportunity to sell and said, "Soy bean paste is very delicious. When the case is solved, you are welcome to come to my house to buy it. It is not expensive, only twenty-five yuan a catty."

All the arresters said, "..."

Although they are speechless now, after the case was solved, they really came and bought a lot to take home.

Chu Xujin brought a group of arrests to the courtyard of the old house, "You wait for me here, I'll go in and have a look."

"good."

Chu Xujin walked into the kitchen of the old house in three steps at a time, and took a deep breath, "Fifth sister, are you still making soybean paste?"

"The last pot will be ready soon." After Chu Qingzhi answered, she turned to look at Chu Xujin in surprise, "Why is the third brother back?"

Chu Xujin said with some shame, "I have something to ask."

Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
