Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

“Wait a minute, what do you mean 'buying a whole box'?” Fang Zheng Yi's face darkened. “How many stomachs does such a small child have that he needs to buy a whole box of candied hawthorns?”

“You can't even lie properly, slap yourself!”

Lu Er Gou panicked: “No, young master Fang didn't buy them for himself. Everyone in his class gets a share, that's why he buys so many each time.”

“What?” Fang Zheng Yi's expression was uncertain.

Is that the case? No wonder this kid spends money so lavishly...

“Continue!”

“Yes, yes.” Lu Er Gou took a couple of breaths and recalled, “Because he bought so many at once, I simply started supplying Yu Cai Primary School directly instead of selling candied hawthorns individually. That's how I became acquainted with young master Fang.”

“Our relationship was fairly normal, just a buyer-seller relationship with no other interactions. Until recently, when the Banshan Football Field hosted many matches, Yu Cai Primary School organized students to watch. After returning, young master Fang came to me and said he needed someone to run errands for him, seeing that I made good candied hawthorns, he'd give me a chance to earn money.”

“At first, I wasn't willing. My candied hawthorns were selling well. But young master Fang said if I didn't help him, he'd buy candied hawthorns from someone else. I figured running errands wasn't a big deal, so I agreed.”

“Later, I found out that I was helping him predict football gambling results for free! I swear to heaven, sir Fang! I really didn't know he was going to cheat people! I only collected the money yesterday....”

As he spoke, Lu Er Gou started crying and wailing again, kowtowing his head and saying: “I'm scared... I've never seen so many silver notes in my life... Young master Fang told me that as long as I kept it a secret, nothing would happen, who knew...”

While he was rambling on, Li Yuan Zhao and Fan Cong were already dumbfounded.

How old is this kid, and he already has the ability to plan such a big scheme?

Using both coercion and enticement!

No wonder he's old Fang's (sir Fang's) offspring, he's really something.

Fang Zheng Yi wasn't doing much better, breaking out into a cold sweat.

No, something's not right. This is too strange.

Where did Fang Chen Yu learn this telecom fraud stuff at such a young age?

Bloodline awakening? Self-taught? That's too exaggerated.

An even more ominous consequence began to rise in his heart.

This child... wouldn't his mother have been possessed by someone! Others wouldn't think of it, but he knows it all too well.

Li Yuan Zhao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly felt something was off.

He looked nervously at Lu Er Gou: “I ask you, did he do this alone?”

Lu Er Gou stammered: “He has a classmate by his side, but he doesn't talk much. They seem to be on good terms, always together...”

A thunderbolt out of the blue!

Li Yuan Zhao swayed and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately Fan Cong supported him in time.

My son is involved too?

I let two little brats cheat me out of thirty thousand taels! One of them is even my own seed?

What a disgrace!!!

“Do you dare swear that everything you said is true?” Fang Zheng Yi asked sternly.

Although his tone was severe, he already believed him seventy or eighty percent. This kind of lie is too ridiculous.

Absolutely not something an ordinary person could come up with.

Lu Er Gou said with a bitter face: “I'm not lying, sir Fang, you can send someone to ask... Can I not die, sir Fang? I have an eighty-year-old mother above, and below I have…”

“Men, lock him up and await orders!” Fang Zheng Yi was too lazy to listen to his nonsense and shouted directly, “Send another team to immediately go to Yu Cai Primary School and bring Fang Chen Yu to this official… Never mind, a few of you come with me!”

The most important thing right now is to verify this little beast's story.

This is no longer just going down the wrong path. He's already so punishable from a young age, who knows what he'll become if he continues to develop like this!

Li Yuan Zhao said anxiously: “Old Fang, I'll go with you.”

Fan Cong swallowed and bowed: “Sir Fang, this official will take his leave first. It's better to leave the matter entirely to the Embroidered Uniform Guard. If you need anything, just mention it to this official.”

After speaking, Fan Cong left quickly.

Too terrifying, I'm afraid even the imperial grandson is involved... Another earful and I'll explode, better run!

.......

Inside Yu Cai Primary School.

The sun was high in the sky, and two small figures stood facing each other on the playground.

Zhang Xiao Biao looked disdainfully at Zhang Ling, who was waiting solemnly in front of him.

Behind him, Fang Chen Yu and Li Yu were watching the show.

The two faced each other for a long time without moving. Fang Chen Yu urged: “Make a move... it's killing people in this heat, we still have to go back for our afternoon nap!”

Hearing this, Zhang Xiao Biao suddenly raised his hands high.

Seeing this, Zhang Ling also moved, waving his small fists and angrily smashing them towards him.

“Sun Fist!” Zhang Xiao Biao shouted.

As soon as these words came out, Fang Chen Yu and Li Yu swiftly took out a small mirror each from their sleeves, and started shining it at Zhang Ling.

Two rays of sunlight shot straight into Zhang Ling's eyes.

Instantly, he was blinded by the two rays of light and couldn't open his eyes.

“Ah! My eyes!!”

Seeing the opportunity, Zhang Xiao Biao swept his leg and knocked him to the ground, then straddled Zhang Ling.

Suppressing him so he couldn't move.

“Little trash! You dare to challenge my brother Fang with just these two moves?” Zhang Xiao Biao said triumphantly while pressing on Zhang Ling.

Fang Chen Yu laughed: “Zhang Ling, do you admit defeat!”

“I don't admit defeat! You guys are too despicable! I'm going to tell the teacher!” Zhang Ling said angrily, his neck red.

“Tell the teacher? What a loser!” Fang Chen Yu strode forward and squatted beside him.

He said jokingly: “You still have the nerve to tell the teacher when you owe money? You owe me twenty taels of silver. How can you be so shameless?”

Zhang Ling was furious: “The Pachinko game was a problem to begin with. The whole class was cheated by you. Others dare not speak out, but I dare!”

“I wrote your name on the exams, and I wrote your homework for you. I don't owe you anything!”

“You borrowed my name to get last place three times. The teacher is looking for parents now. I'm not playing with you anymore. Find someone else!”

“I'm giving you face by asking you since you're good at studying.” Fang Chen Yu said with a smile: “Then how do you account for the candy and candied hawthorns you ate?”

“You treated me, I didn't ask you for them!” Zhang Ling said confidently.

Fang Chen Yu curled his lips in disdain: “So shameless, don't you understand reciprocity?”

Saying that, he took out a hundred tael silver note from his sleeve and waved it in front of him: “Here, I'm returning the money I earned from playing Pachinko before. Keep the change, so no one owes anyone anything in the future. Don't say I'm bullying people!”

“I ask you, will you help me with exams and homework in the future?”

Zhang Ling looked at the silver note, swallowed, and turned his head away: “No!”

Fang Chen Yu sneered, stuffed the silver note into his arms, and slowly got up and retreated to Li Yu's side.

“Those who don't help me with my homework are not my brothers!”

Saying that, he pointed to the slide not far away: “In the future, those who are not my brothers are not allowed to go to the slide area!”

Zhang Xiao Biao sat on him and twisted constantly, taunting: “In the future, when we play on the slide, and the swing, you! Can't! Come!”

Fang Chen Yu: “His Highness and I bought fireworks and firecrackers to take the other students out to set off. All the students will go, guess what~?”

“We~ won't~ add~ you~” Zhang Xiao Biao echoed in a weird tone, his expression arrogant.

Zhang Ling pouted aggrievedly, on the verge of tears.

Setting off fireworks without me? Damn it!

Zhang Xiao Biao smiled evilly: “Heh heh heh, brother Fang, you've scared him.”

“I'll give you one more chance, will you still help me with my homework in the future?” Fang Chen Yu snorted, “If you do my homework, we're still brothers!”
