Chapter 350 How do you talk to your elders?
Uncle Shao thought this was not explicit enough, so he hinted further, "Of course, we won't let Master Qiao help us for nothing. Master Qiao, Master Qiao, we should naturally prepare a generous gift to express our gratitude."
He almost directly asked Lord Qiao to cheat for Shao Liulang and add Shao Liulang's name back.
How could Fang, Uncle Shao and others have thought that Uncle Shao and Ma would have such a magical train of thought? They didn't think in that direction for a while, and didn't understand what they meant for a while.
Shao Yunduan understood, his face changed color, and he said coldly: "Uncle San, Aunt San, are you crazy?"
Uncle Shao hurriedly asked, "Yunduan, how do you talk to your elders?"
They were already in a bad mood because Liu Lang didn't pass the imperial examination. How could they add fuel to the fire?
Shao Yunduan said coldly, "Dad, did you understand what Third Uncle and Third Aunt meant? They want Master Qiao to cheat and add Sixth Cousin's name! Isn't this crazy? Once this matter is exposed and reported, Sixth Cousin will never be able to take the imperial examination again in his life, not to mention becoming a scholar! Master Qiao's official hat will also be in jeopardy! He will also be convicted and imprisoned! Do you think this is a small matter?"
Fang was furious: "I think you are crazy! How dare you think of such a thing!"
Ma was shocked and said hurriedly, "Don't scare us. It's not that serious. I just said that the test paper was wrongly judged. This is an unjust case, an unjust case! Can't it be redressed?"
Shao Yunduan said: "If Sixth Cousin really thinks there is a problem, you can go to the government office to file a complaint and ask the prefect to send someone to investigate. This is not something that Master Qiao can decide. If you don't believe it, go ask Sixth Cousin yourself!"
Go to the government office?
That's definitely impossible to go!
Just thinking about going to a big city like the provincial capital where she was unfamiliar with the place and going to the government office made Ma dare not even think about anything else.
How could people like them go to a place like that?
She was still stubborn: "The test paper was graded wrong, so why not re-grade it? Isn't that enough?"
As long as Mr. Qiao is willing to help, what kind of excuse can he not find? He said that the verdict was wrong, who dares to say it is not?
Moreover, Ma really believes in her son and believes that her son will definitely pass the exam!
Uncle Shao was equally confident. "That's right. As long as Master Qiao is willing to help, it will definitely work! Brother, sister-in-law, this is a matter that will affect Liu Lang's life. We beg you for help!"
Shao Yunduan didn't know what to say, and sneered, "Do you think it's that easy to re-mark the papers? If so, everyone will make a fuss, wouldn't it be a mess? I said, this paper will be re-marked, and the prefect and the prefectural school will send people to investigate it strictly, and they will also invite respected scholars to judge together. If there is a problem, then it will be that County Magistrate Qiao was unfair in the admission, and he will be severely punished and will definitely lose his job. If the original verdict is upheld, Sixth Cousin will be beaten with a stick and will never be allowed to participate in the imperial examination again for life. Who did you listen to? Do you think Lord Qiao has the final say?"
"If you don't believe me, just go to the government office and try it out!"
Qiao Xuan chuckled, "My husband is right. If the test paper is graded wrong, it's a serious case of cheating. Once someone reports it, no matter what the result is, someone might die! Are you crazy? How dare you doubt the fairness of the imperial court's admissions?"
Ma was still unconvinced: "You just scare us."
"Then go to the provincial capital!" Qiao Xuan sneered: "You don't know what I'm talking about!"
