Xia Cui kept the letter tightly in front of her, fearing that something might go wrong. This was the letter that she had finally gotten back with great difficulty. It was related to the future life of the young lady, so there couldn't be any mistakes.

"Sir." Xia Cui knelt on the ground and presented the envelope with both hands: "This is the letter of reconciliation between Mr. Zhang and my young lady."

"What nonsense and Li Shu, do you want to deceive the prefect with a fake one? How audacious! Yan Yunshu, don't do such a thing just because Yan Qianyin has some friendship with the prefect's family."

Upon hearing this, the prefect slapped the alarm again: "Nonsense!"

Zhang Bei had no choice but to stop talking.

The Zhang family is also a well-known merchant in Qingdu City, but the property is in the hands of the eldest son of the Zhang family, and the business is also handled by the eldest son of the Zhang family. This second son of the Zhang family usually only eats, drinks, whores and gambles, and some people say that he often beats and scolds his wife. , but because Yan Yunshu didn't leave the Zhang family much after getting married, and she couldn't afford to fall ill after giving birth, everyone only heard about it.

Now it seems that is indeed the case.

Zhang Bei was even more arrogant and had no sense of propriety in his words.

When the officials and others saw this, they glanced at each other. They were really far different from the eldest son of the Zhang family. If he didn't have a good brother who helped settle the messy things every time, how could Zhang Bei be so comfortable.

After the prefect scolded him, he asked someone to take the envelope from Xia Cui's hand. He unfolded it and read the contents carefully.

It is indeed a letter of Heli, and at the end it has the signatures of Zhang Bei and Yan Yunshu, as well as their fingerprints: "It's the letter of Heli."

"How is that possible?" Zhang Bei didn't believe it.

"It has your name and fingerprints on it," the prefect said.

Zhang Bei was dumbfounded.

His painting? How could such a thing happen? He had never done it at all, and he had no memory of it.

"Fake, absolutely fake!"

"I will naturally tell the difference between the real and the fake." The prefect asked someone to give Zhang Bei a pen and paper and an ink pad: "Zhang Bei, write your name on it and press your fingerprint."

Zhang Bei:! ! !

His face was full of anger and confusion, but he could not resist in court, so he had to comply.

Waiting for him last night, the official officer presented the things to him, and the prefect compared them again: "Yes, He Lishu is real."

Zhang Bei:? ? ?

His mind went blank for a moment, and he stood there stupidly, still not knowing why a He Li book appeared inexplicably.

"That is to say, Zhang Bei and Yan Yunshu are indeed no longer husband and wife. Then you first molested women in the street, and then beat up the imperial officials..."

Imperial order?

Zhang Bei was even more confused.

When did he beat the imperial official?

"If you commit the first offense, you will be punished by the rod for thirty years..."

"Sir! I am wronged. I did not beat the imperial official. I just punched Zhou Cheng."

Just when he said this, Zhang Bei was startled!

The imperial official mentioned by the prefect is Zhou Chengzhi?

When did he become an official?

"Master Zhou is this year's top scholar in the new subject. He has already served as a editor in the Hanlin Academy and has been promoted to a sixth-rank official position." The prefect said solemnly.

From the sixth grade...

Although the official position is not high, whether compared with the prefect or merchants like the Zhang family...

Zhang Bei looked grim. He thought Zhou Chengzhi was still the poor scholar. Who would have thought that this year's new top scholar would be him? Because Zhou Chengzhi no longer has any relatives in Qingdu City, no one knows about it, and no one cares about it.

"I...I didn't hit him." Zhang Bei denied subconsciously and looked at Zhou Chengzhi at the same time.

But he saw Zhou Chengzhi slowly looking at him.
