Chapter 366: A New Beginning

k. The coffin hit the white bone army in front, and was then shattered by a claw from the evil spirit puppet that crawled out of the main coffin."Follow me!"Ripple didn't say a word, kicking left and...Zhao Fengshou learned the ins and outs of the matter, rolled up his sleeves and went home. He found his wife and told her everything. Caoshun was so angry that she slapped her thigh repeatedly.

“These scoundrels are taking advantage of us country bumpkins! For our Hongqi Commune to have two students pass the exam is a matter worthy of burning incense. They’ve just stolen it all away! How unfair this is!”

"Who said that's not the case! That's why I was thinking of having you go back to your hometown, and tell the people in your village about this. What if there are other kids in your village who got admitted but were replaced"

"You're right, old man! Those kids in town, they probably wouldn't dare do anything. We country kids don't have so many twists and turns, if we fail the exam it's just our own problem, we wouldn't think someone did it for us."

After hearing this, Aunt Cao immediately packed a basket of things and called her eldest grandson to accompany her back to her parents' village.

Things spread in this way, and in the following week, the number of people who went to the town hall to inquire about their test scores increased dramatically. Some were simply following the hype, but there were also those with genuine doubts. For a time, the workload for handling inquiries skyrocketed.

But unlike the usual arrogant examination staff, this time they patiently helped me check my scores and retrieve my papers throughout the process, without any airs.

Their director and Deputy Director Pang have already been taken away, reportedly entered the review process. It feels like a sword hangs over their heads, they dare not slack off and treat each examinee seriously, determined to avoid trouble with the supervisory team.

Zhao Jingcheng touched the admission notice from Capital University in his hand, his heart filled with mixed emotions. If it hadn't been for Lianyi's efforts, he would have really missed out. If things were to come to light in the future, he might feel even more resentful! Because this was the only way he could get closer to Lianyi.

"Jingcheng, tomorrow we'll go to town and make a victory banner. We have to beat drums and bang gongs to send it to Zhang Gong'an. Without his help this time, things would probably be very troublesome for you."

"Alright, I'll tell the captain, bring a few of our guys tomorrow."

Zhao Jingcheng has always been obedient, and besides, this time he really did have to thank Zhang Gong'an.

There you go, happy now!

Ripples smiled and said.

"Well, then we'd be separated."

We can write letters, and we have summer and winter vacations, you can also save money to visit me in Suzhou.

Ripple smiled, saying she was preparing a way out for the original body.

"Good!"

Zhao Jingcheng answered very seriously.

The next day, Lian Yi and Zhao Jingcheng led the people from Hongqi Commune to the town police station with drums and gongs. They presented a banner praising public servants for serving the people and being the most trusted by the common people.

Zhang Quan smiled broadly as his team received the honorary flag and even pulled the director out to take a group photo with everyone. This incident was in the local newspaper two days later, further enhancing the image of the Public Security Bureau.

Zhang Quan was promoted to captain because of this case, he went from a small team leader to a big team leader, and Captain Jia became his subordinate. He was extremely proud inside. He got promoted by his own ability, not through backdoor connections. The brothers in the bureau trusted him very much, and his work became even smoother.

Liàn Yī and Zhao Jingcheng also went to Zhang's family privately, bringing some things to express their gratitude.

Zhang Quan didn't hesitate and accepted them all this time, and even gave Zhao Jingcheng some advice.

"This case was able to proceed smoothly, also because of my old comrade-in-arms in the capital, he's the one who bought ginseng from you."

"I see, it seems we're destined to meet."

Ripples immediately laughed and said.

"Indeed, as soon as he heard that you were the ones selling him ginseng, he personally went to Peking University to verify and ensure there was no fraud. He put a stop to any potential fabrication at the university."

"Zhang Gege, when Jingcheng goes to Capital University, wouldn't it be best to visit and thank your old comrade"

A ripple of probing inquiry.

He said that after his grandfather used that ginseng root, he felt much better. The doctor said that if they could find another one to use as medicine, it would consolidate his grandfather's health and allow him to live for another ten years without any problems.

"Thanks for the reminder, Big Brother Zhang. Before I check in, I'll go back into the mountains one more time to see if I can find another ginseng root."

Zhao Jingcheng promised.

That definitely means going deep into the mountains, there's nothing left on the outskirts.

Ripple immediately added.

"Just do your best with this, and if it gets too dangerous, just forget about it. You can always choose a different way later on, and just thank him anyway."

Zhang Quan didn't want to risk someone losing their life over a single ginseng root.

"Big Brother Zhang, rest assured, I know what I'm doing."

Immediately, the ripples asked for Guo Tao's contact information in the capital. When Zhao Jingcheng went to the capital, he could go directly to thank him.

The matter was resolved successfully, and Hongqi Commune organized a farewell party. The eight students who had been admitted to university wore red flowers and received congratulations from everyone in the village. They celebrated all night long, and the next day everyone went their separate ways.

On the eve of his departure, Zhao Jingcheng took Lian Yi to the back wall of the old house. He dug out an iron box from the foundation. When he opened it, there was a lacquered makeup box inside, filled with gold, silver, jade, and various jewelry. At a glance, it was clear that they were very valuable.

"What is this"

"This was left to my mother by my grandmother, and she passed it on to my future daughter-in-law."

After Zhao Jingcheng finished speaking, a suspicious blush appeared on his face.

Ripples pondered for a moment and then asked:

"If your family has these things, how could your parents starve to death"

"At home, we sold some things to buy food. As a result, Zhao Fendou targeted us and forced my grandfather to hand over the rest. My grandfather was afraid he would put a label on our family, so he insisted he didn't have anything left. Eventually, people in my family died of hunger one by one until Zhao Fendou stopped."

He just wouldn't give up. He kept staring at me and even secretly tripped me up, hoping I would die so he could take over my house.

The first time I met you was because he sent me to collect feces. I worked all night and then got sick from the cold. I lay in bed for three days. Not only did he not give me food, but he also said that I was sick and took leave for me just so I would starve at home.

"Tsk tsk, villains never change!"

Ripple believes that his initial decision to act was correct.

Zhao Jingcheng looked at Lian Yi twice more before pushing the makeup box toward her and saying in a low voice:

"Put that away!"

"Is this your dowry"

R ripples smiled and asked.

Zhao Jingcheng quickly glanced at Li Yanying, nodding his head.

"Alright! I'll hold onto it for you for now. If you ever regret it, you can always come back and get it."

"No!"are helpless.He decisively requested assistance from a specialized agency, specifying the most powerful Dragon and Tiger Mountain Celestial Master to help them out of their predicament.Even General Me...
