Lu Daniu has been pretending to be Mr. Jiuting for almost ten years.

It has never been taken apart in the past ten years.

He even felt that he was Mr. Jiuting, to the point of being indistinguishable from the real thing.

His talent may not be worse than Mr. Jiuting's!

As long as he doesn't admit it, who knows who the real Mr. Jiuting is?

Lu Daniu gradually calmed down and looked at Du Qingyu.

"You are the fake one, right? We are all educated people with brains. How could Mr. Jiuting be as young as you? What is your purpose in pretending to be me?" Lu Daniu asked harshly.

Qin Xian thought it made sense and believed Lu Daniu without a doubt: "Mr. Jiuting, this is a liar. He probably wants to cheat us out of our money. I will send someone to report it to the authorities and ask the county magistrate to arrest this liar."

Having said that, he asked his servant to report to the authorities.

"What does this have to do with age? An ignorant person is still ignorant when he is in his seventies or eighties. A smart person can understand the great principles at the age of seven or eight." Du Qingyu said.

"Then how can you prove that you are the real Mr. Jiuting?" someone asked.

Du Qingyu smiled slightly. "It's very simple. Just write one word and you'll know. Although you haven't seen the original of my painting 'Fish in Danger', I think some of you have seen the imitation, right?"

One of the scholars stood up and said: "I have a painting hanging in my home."

"Then let Lu Daniu and I write a word each, and then we can see it clearly by comparing our handwritings." Du Qingyu said.

A hint of guilt flashed in Lu Daniu's eyes.

He felt that his talent was comparable to Mr. Jiuting's, but he really couldn't write like Mr. Jiuting.

To avoid being caught, he rarely wrote, and only wrote a calligraphy for Qin Xian...

Soon, paper and pen were delivered.

Du Qingyu picked up the pen and wrote the word "carp" in a flamboyant style on the white paper.

As soon as she started writing, all the scholars gathered around her.

The scholar who had a painting of Fish in Danger hanging in his home looked at it even more carefully. He had looked at the painting of Fish in Danger hanging in his home countless times, and the more he looked at the calligraphy, the more it seemed similar.

"It looks like him, really like him." He said, and couldn't help but look at Lu Daniu.

Lu Daniu broke out in a cold sweat.

If I pick up the pen, the truth will be completely exposed.

His eyes rolled back and he suddenly fell to the ground.

"Mr. Jiuting has fainted! Quickly carry him to the private room upstairs to rest!" Qin Xian said hurriedly.

The Qin family father and son firmly believe that this is the real Mr. Jiuting!

They have invested too much in Mr. Jiuting. If it is fake, they will once again become the laughing stock of the entire Hedong County. So, this must be true!

The Qin family father and son quickly carried Lu Daniu upstairs.

After this excitement, the government officials also arrived.

"Sir, someone is impersonating Mr. Jiuting. We will soon know the truth." Tang Li told the yamen runner the whole story.

Several of these yamen runners were familiar with Tang Li, and after listening, they waited patiently.

When the fake Mr. Jiuting wakes up and writes a word, the real and the fake will be revealed.

However, soon everyone discovered that Lu Daniu was missing!

"Is this running away?"

"He must have run away because he was afraid of being exposed! He must have faked fainting just now!"

"That turned out to be a fake Mr. Jiuting. We've been deceived for so long!"

Those scholars were very embarrassed.

Fengheju was also filled with students from the county school, which was a complete farce.

Since it was fake, all the students in the county school left, and the yamen runners went to arrest the fake Mr. Jiuting.

In this way, all the people dispersed, leaving only a group of scholars beating their feet and stamping their chests.

They are all Mr. Jiuting's leg hair. Because they are looked up to by Mr. Jiuting, their status among scholars has been elevated.

Now that Mr. Jiuting is fake, they have become a joke.

Among them, the most unacceptable were Qin Xian and his son.

"Fake? How could it be fake?"

Qin Xian's face looked very ugly.

He felt like a joke and wanted to jump off the second floor of Fengheju!

Qin Wenxuan's face was extremely ugly. He was appreciated by Mr. Jiuting and was treated like a star by everyone. He was extremely proud and thought that passing the imperial examination was just around the corner.

As a result, it turned out to be fake. It was just a false dream!

He totally couldn't accept it.

The father and son were deeply shocked and looked like they had lost all desire to live.

Tangli looked at it and felt that he deserved it.

You have evil intentions and deserve to be cheated!

In the past, he was responsible for harming Dabao, Xu Jue and Zhuo Shu. This is retribution!

Not worthy of sympathy at all.

"Xiaoli, let's go." Du Qingyu patted her slippery face and said.

Just now, Du Qingyu actually slipped away secretly to avoid being harassed by those scholars.

Now that everyone had left, she slipped back to Tangli.

Tang Li nodded and walked out of Fengheju with her.

After leaving Fengheju and walking for a while, the two stopped.

Tang Li tilted his head and looked at her, his beautiful big eyes staring at her without blinking.

Du Qingyu felt his scalp tingling under her stare. Just as he was about to speak, Tang Li spoke first.

"Mr. Jiuting~"

"Uh, Xiaoli, you should just call me 'Qingyu'." Du Qingyu said.

"How can I call a big shot like Mr. Jiuting by his name?" Tang Li said with a smile.

Du Qingyu suddenly felt a little uneasy and hugged her.

"Xiao Li, are you angry? I didn't mean to hide it from you..."

Under Tangli's gaze, Du Qingyu changed his tone: "Okay, I did it on purpose. I just wanted to give you a surprise. Xiaoli, I'm sorry~"

Du Qingyu hugged Tangli and acted coquettishly.

Tang Li then burst out laughing.

Du Qingyu glared at her: "Xiaoli, did you do this on purpose?!"

"Haha, if I don't pretend to be angry, how can I see this side of Mr. Jiuting?" Tang Li said with a smile.

Seeing Tangli's eyes and eyebrows curved in a bright smile, Du Qingyu's heart melted and he couldn't even say a word to argue.

"Let's go." Tang Li said, holding Du Qingyu's hand.

"Where are you going?"

"Where you're going."

"How do you know where I'm going?"

"Now that everything is settled, except for that Lu Daniu, you must go find Lu Daniu."

"Xiao Li, how can you guess what I'm going to do? Are you the worm in my stomach?"

The two walked forward side by side, talking and laughing.

It was said that Lu Daniu was hiding in an inn, counting the money he had cheated from the Qin family.

He put a pile of banknotes on the table and counted them one by one.

A total of five thousand taels.

It doesn't matter if he is exposed. With these five thousand taels, it is enough for him to live a carefree life.

Early tomorrow morning, as soon as it gets light, he will leave Hedong County.

Just as he was laughing happily, the door was kicked open.

But when he saw the person standing outside the door, his face suddenly changed, his legs went weak, and he reacted, turned around, picked up the banknotes and wanted to run.

As soon as he escaped to the door, he was grabbed.

Du Qingyu snatched all the banknotes from his arms and beat him up.

After beating him, he handed the man over to Qianshan and sent him to the county government office.

Until this moment, Lu Daniu had not realized that he was actually just a tool used by Du Qingyu to brutally slaughter the Qin family.

As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the harder you fall. Du Qingyu wants the Qin father and son to fall from that height and be smashed to pieces.
