Chapter 166 Confession
"What is this!" Huang yelled angrily when she heard the words, "You bastard, you don't want to pursue what you say, but you actually want your third uncle to sign it?!"

Although Huang doesn't know a single word, it doesn't mean she's a fool. Song Bai wrote it down and stamped his handprint. How is that different from going to the county government to write a confession?
Dong Bao didn't look at Huang, but only stared at Song Bai, "Third Uncle, this note I asked you to write is not to threaten you, but just a guarantee. If you continue to do bad things, we will hand this note to the county magistrate. If you treat me as my good third uncle, we will pretend that this incident never happened."

Song Bai raised his pale face, looked at Dong Bao, and asked hesitantly, "If I write it, you promise not to hand it over to the magistrate?"

"As long as you do what the first two conditions require, I guarantee that no one will see it. If I don't mean what I say, I will be hit by thunder!" Dong Bao said seriously, "Third Uncle, you can't answer Agree to these three conditions? If you don’t agree, let’s go to the county government office and ask the county magistrate to make a fair judgment. If you agree, we will still be uncles and nephews in the future, and my mother and I will send you a tael of silver to take the county exam.”

In this day and age, everyone still believed in poisonous oaths made in broad daylight, and Dong Bao offered a lure of road money of one or two taels of money.

It has to be said that Song Bai was quite tempted.

The matter is well-documented here, and Song Bai knew what would happen to him if Li's mother and daughter insisted on going to the county court.The only way for him to be exonerated is to seek forgiveness from the mother and daughter of the Li family, but Dongbao proposed such a tricky condition. Looking at the reactions of the people around him, no one objected.

If I wrote it, I would have nothing to do, but if I wrote it, it would be tantamount to leaving a big handle in this little girl's hands, and maybe she would have to hold it for the rest of my life.

Song Bai was very contradictory, as if he was a hungry fish that was about to die, seeing the delicious bait in front of him, but afraid of being caught out of the water after eating it and buried in the pot, his anxious face appeared again. Sweating hot, Huang's heart ached when he saw it.

"Dongbao..." Song Bai smiled and said, "You still don't know what kind of person I am? I will definitely study hard in the future and never make trouble again. Can this note..."

"No!" Dong Bao said decisively, "Third Uncle, I just asked you to write a note. What are you afraid of? Third Uncle, you will still be able to study in the future. In the future, Third Uncle will become an official after passing the exam. We still count on Third Uncle Zhao Fu, how could it be possible to put it out in the eyes of the third uncle? Even if the third uncle fails the exam, it will not do any harm to us, and we will not use it to deliberately embarrass the third uncle. What? Could it be that the third uncle dare not write? I have no confidence in myself, Are you afraid you won't be able to meet those two conditions?"

Song Bai gritted his teeth, his mouth tasted sour, sweet, bitter, hot, salty, and looked at Dong Bao angrily. He was wrong all along, and his mistake was to underestimate this seemingly insignificant niece!
Scanning the surrounding people, everyone was waiting for his answer with a straight face. Song Bai clenched his fists and said, "I'll write!"

After a while, the yamen servants brought pens, ink, paper and inkstones. Song Bai sat on the ground, wrote the "confession", and finally signed his name with bright red finger prints.

After the ink on the paper dried, Dong Bao asked the masters of the academy to read it. After they confirmed that it was correct, they asked Lin Shi to read it to her, Li Shi and others with the paper.In fact, she can read the words on it, but it's not easy to show that she can read in front of everyone.

Song Bai was quite honest, and basically wrote the whole story of the incident, including how he discussed with Zhang Wan and others to rob the widow's wife's property.

Dong Bao was very satisfied, but he didn't show it on his face. He carefully folded the paper and put it against his chest. This paper is not only a sharp weapon to restrain Song Bai, but also a sharp weapon to restrain Huang Shi. For the sake of my son, I won't trouble them any longer!
Mrs. Li said that she had no objection, Master Yan bowed his hands to Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Chen looked at Song Bai who was still sitting on the ground and sighed, he really didn't want this student with bad conduct, he really wanted to see his father Kowtow is very pitiful when he is old, anyway, Song Baiqiuli is about to take the exam, he is lucky if he passes the exam, and if he fails the exam, he will not be allowed to study in the academy again.

"Today, I spared you this time for the sake of Mr. Yan and your parents!" Mrs. Chen reprimanded Song Bai severely, "What you will do in the future depends on your performance. If there is another adulterer Breaking the law, before your widow and niece can speak, I will tie you up to see the official!"

Logically speaking, with such a rigorous academic atmosphere of Wenfeng Academy, Song Bai should be expelled.

Old man Song burst into tears of joy, and kept pulling Song Bai to bow to Mrs. Chen and others, thanking them for giving Song Bai a chance.And Song Bai also had a look of joy for the rest of his life after the catastrophe. Fortunately, he was fine and could continue to study and take exams. He didn't want to go home and be a mud leg, farming the land exhaustingly, digging food out of the dirt.

Only Mrs. Huang was crying sadly, pointing at Dong Bao and cursing: "You bastard, you are trying to kill your third uncle! You white-eyed wolf..."

Dong Bao sneered, and interrupted Huang's yelling, "Grandma, when you scold someone, I get in a bad mood, and when I get in a bad mood, my memory gets bad, isn't it..." Dong Bao pulled out his chest from his chest. The "testimony", "Grandma, if you scold me so badly that I can't remember what I said earlier, what should I do if I show this confession everywhere?"

In short, if you want me to forget about your son hurting us, then we better live in peace, otherwise we will get angry and no one will suffer as much as Song Bai!

Mrs. Huang stopped talking immediately, and just stared at Dong Bao resentfully, that gaze could almost punch a hole in Dong Bao's body.

The matter came to an end here, Song Bai followed behind the masters, and went back to Wenfeng Academy dejectedly.Mrs. Huang and old man Song let go of their hearts and returned to Tagouji.

After Dong Bao and the others thanked Mr. Yan, they returned to Baoji shop.

Aunt Guizhi and the others were waiting anxiously in the shop. Seeing that a few people had returned intact, they each heaved a sigh of relief.

"What's going on?" Lotus asked.

Mrs. Li waved her hand. She was terrified all morning, and was so angry by Mrs. Huang that she really didn't want to say anything. She sighed and recalled the scene in the morning. She secretly thought it was better to be a girl. With Song Bai's confession, I'm not afraid that my mother-in-law and the others will make trouble again.

Aunt Qiuxia briefly talked to Guizhi and the others, and told them that the two sides settled the matter, so it is over, so don't mention it again.

After scolding the old man Song and his wife and Song Bai, several people went to work.

"It's almost noon." Zhang Xiuyu said, "The vegetables we sell at noon haven't been fried yet, so I'm afraid it's too late!"

Dong Bao thought for a while and said, "It's too late to do it. I can't sell lunch today. I can only apologize to the students who came to eat. Let's make a half-price supply tomorrow."

"That's fine." Zhang Xiuyu nodded and said, "As Dong Bao said, reputation is the most important thing when we do business." If it's half price tomorrow, it's equivalent to giving them a free meal, and the students will definitely be willing.

"We can't rest." Dong Bao smiled, "Before we have lunch, let's go to the restaurant in the town to order a table of dishes, add a few more dishes, and send them over to Mr. Yan and the others. Thank you very much. If they hadn't arrived in time, those hooligans would have slipped away!"

Mrs. Li nodded quickly, "Yes, today is really thanks to Lord Yan and the others!"

"As well as Uncle Lin and the others, I have to thank you very much." Dong Bao continued, "There are more than a dozen people who came to our house to help today. I think three tables of noodles are prepared. Mom, go and tell the restaurant owner, We want one table at noon, and book three tables in the afternoon in advance, and send them to Tagouji!"

"Success!" Mrs. Li nodded and smiled, "I should thank you very much!"

The better restaurant in the town is a small restaurant called Yunlai Inn. The first floor is a place to eat, and the second floor is a place to stay. The dishes are not special, mostly stewed chicken, stewed beef, stewed ribs There are not many kinds of dishes, but the business is very good. There is no other reason. Their meat stew is good, and it is not easy to eat meat in this era. Yun Lai The dishes of the inn meet the most basic requirements of the general public.

There must be a stewed chicken and a stewed ribs on each table, and a sauced beef, the main course is decent enough, the remaining peanuts and refreshing pickles, some of them, Dong Bao only needs to make a few home-cooked dishes Supplements are fine.Once the dishes are ready, please send the guys at the inn together with the noodles to Mr. Yan's town.

While Dongbao was cooking in the kitchen, students came to the shop in front of him. Hehua and the others apologized to the students, saying that the boss had something to do today and couldn’t prepare, and that there would be a [-]% discount tomorrow. Most of the students were reasonable, not to mention The store also promised a [-]% discount for the next day.

Zhou Pingshan also deliberately stayed to ask a few words, and He Hua reassured him that there was nothing serious about the boss, but he was busy today and didn't have time to cook, so Zhou Pingshan was relieved.In fact, he could have asked Lin Shi, but he didn't know what kind of psychology it was, he just didn't want to ask Lin Shi about Song Dongning.

At this time, in Wenfeng Academy, Master Liu, who was inquiring about the news with Master Chen, burst out laughing, and said with a smug smile, "I am that girl who is very smart!"

Master Chen also laughed, and praised: "The Song girl is neither humble nor overbearing. She is clever and flexible at a young age, and her emotions and anger are invisible. If she is a man, she will definitely have a career."

Mrs. Liu didn't think so, "It's not bad to be a girl, and she has good eyesight. If she has something to rely on in the future, it's enough to be rich and safe for the rest of her life."

"You mean that kid Lin Shi?" Master Chen asked with a smile, "He is indeed a good one, why? Do you want to take him in as an apprentice?"
