Third Uncle was worried that what had been said was not straightforward enough, so he clarified again. “Of course, we won’t let Officer Qiao do that for free, we will prepare enough presents to thank him!”

He almost said that he wanted Officer Qiao to cheat by helping add Shao Liulangs name to the list.

Ms. Fang and Eldest Uncle had not expected that Third Uncle and Ms. Ma would have thought about such a method. They, for a moment, had no idea what the family was talking about.

Shao Yunduan’s facial expressions changed and he said coldly, “Are you crazy, Third Uncle and Third Aunt?”

Eldest Uncle immediately reacted. “Yunduan, what are you talking about?”

They were already in a bad mood since their son failed the examination and he was just adding fuel to the oil!

Shao Yunduan said coldly, “Dad, have you understood what they mean? They are trying to make Officer Qiao cheat by adding Liulang’s name on the list. That is crazy! If it is revealed, Liulang will never be able to attend any examination in the future, and Officer Qiao will lose his job, and he may be imprisoned too! You think this is a minor thing?”

Ms. Fang shouted furiously. “You are just mental, how can you even think about this?”

Ms. Ma was shocked but still replied. “You don’t need to frighten us, it is not that serious! I just… I just think that the paper is erroneously judged. It is a situation where a wrong needs to be made right!”

Shao Yunduan responded in a clear voice. “If you really think that the paper is wrongly marked, you can send the paper to the government office and ask the authority there to do a re-examination. Officer Qiao can’t make this decision. If you don’t believe me, you can ask your son yourselves!”

Going to the government office?

That was not possible!

They would not be okay heading to a strange city in the province. Also, Ms. Ma did not think that it would work out favorably for them.

That was not a place for people like them to be at.

Hence, she still insisted. “It means that they can re-check the paper right? That is reasonable, isn’t it?”

As long as Officer Qiao was willing to offer the help, they could find any kind of excuse to do so, no one would dare counter that.

Also Ms. Ma was confident that her son must have been wrongly-judged on the paper.

Third Uncle was also somehow confident. ‘Yes, as long as Officer Qiao can extend a hand, we can definitely make it. Eldest Brother, Eldest Sister-in-law, please, this is about Shao Liulangs future, we are begging you!’

Shao Yunduan did not have any idea what more to say, but sneered. “You think it is very easy to re-check the paper? If it was an easy thing, every participant would do so, and the whole situation would get messy. I told you, the officer and scholars should join forces to re-check the paper. Maybe, some learned people would come forward and take a look at it as well. If there is any problem with it, then it would be Officer Qiao’s fault not to have recruited the right talents and get seriously punished. If the result is the same, your son will be hit and forbidden to participate in the examination again in the future.

Who told you that Officer Qiao has the right to make that call?”

“If you don’t believe me, you can go to the office and ask about it!”

Qiao Xuan smiled. “He is right. It is a huge thing if a mistake on the paper is done, and any wrong result can cause someone’s death. You must be mental to have suspected the fairness of the recruitment.”

Ms. Ma was not convinced. “You are just frightening us!’

“Then you can go and visit the province yourself!” Qiao Xuan sneered.. “You

have nothing to lose, right?”
