Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

"Enough, Chen Yu, that's too much," Li Yu, who had been observing for a long time, suddenly interjected. "You can't always fool around like this, right? The teacher will find out sooner or later. You've earned the money now, so focus on your studies."

"Xiao Biao, let him go."

Fang Chen Yu became anxious upon hearing this: "Zhang Ling's family won't beat him even if he goes home, at most he'll get scolded a few times. My dad will beat me to death! Besides, I'm doing this for my dad's sake."

Li Yu rubbed his face, looking helpless: "I really don't know what to do with you. Don't make things difficult for Zhang Ling in the future, find someone else."

"Then, will you still take me to set off firecrackers?" Zhang Ling asked cautiously.

"Oh, yes, yes, yes! All you think about is playing. You can't even get into the top three! Go back to sleep!" Fang Chen Yu complained loudly.

"Your grades aren't even as good as mine..." Zhang Ling muttered as he walked back.

Seeing Zhang Ling leave, Li Yu looked worried again: "Chen Yu, when are you going to tell your family about earning money? It'll be troublesome if those people who lost money come knocking on our door."

Fang Chen Yu didn't care at all: "Hey, we didn't say we guaranteed to guess right, it's not like we're scamming anyone. If they were willing to buy, who can they blame?"

"Didn't we earn some money from classmates by playing marbles before? Now that we have money, I'll pay them back first... Then we'll figure out how to spend the rest."

"Alright..."

Bang!

Before Li Yu could finish speaking, there was a loud bang, and the school gate was kicked open.

Then, a group of people led by Fang Zheng and Li Yuanzhao stormed in.

Fang Chen Yu and Li Yu were stunned at the same time, and immediately turned and ran without hesitation.

Fang Zheng was furious at the sight.

These two brats, it's obvious they have a guilty conscience!

"Quick! Quickly catch those two for me!"

Why are they running?

Zhang Xiao Biao stood there, watching the two of them flee with snot running down his face, completely confused.

Because they were too young, the two short-legged boys tried their best to run, but were caught by the Jinyiwei and brought before Fang Zheng in less than a minute.

Fang Chen Yu raised his head, with a flattering smile: "Dad, why are you here?"

Li Yu also looked up, giving Li Yuanzhao a dry laugh: "Father, you're here?"

Li Yuanzhao snorted coldly, crossing his arms and saying nothing.

Fang Zheng's face was gloomy: "Fang Chen Yu, who told you to go out and scam people? Tell me everything from beginning to end, and if you dare to lie, you'll be cleaning toilets on the streets for the rest of your life, and you don't need to come home!"

Fang Chen Yu's face turned pale: "Dad, I didn't scam anyone? What happened?"

"You're still pretending... I see you won't shed tears until you see the coffin. Someone come, hang him up, I'll beat you to death today!" Fang Zheng said, angrily starting to unbuckle his belt.

Fang Chen Yu trembled, quietly moving behind Li Yu, grabbing his sleeve and saying stubbornly: "Dad, let me die knowing why! Where did I scam people?"

"I'll let you pretend..." "Teacher!"

Just then, Li Yu spread his arms and stood in front of Fang Zheng.

His body trembled slightly as he said: "Teacher, if you have any questions, just ask me, don't hit him."

A hint of surprise flashed in Fang Zheng's eyes.

But the next moment, a leg suddenly appeared in front of him.

"I'll go to hell with you! You beast are also an accomplice, why are you pretending to be righteous!" Li Yuanzhao showed no mercy, kicking Li Yu to the ground.

Fang Chen Yu's face became even more miserable.

Li Yu was kicked to the ground, and Fang Zheng didn't have time to be harsh on his son, quickly helping him up: "Be gentle, he's still a child."

"Will a child scam people out of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver? Will a child scam his father out of thirty thousand taels of silver!" Li Yuanzhao said sternly.

Li Yu's face was ashen.

What's going on? How did he scam his own father?

"Teacher is asking you, did you two set up a betting scheme outside, or is someone instructing you behind the scenes? Tell the truth, explain everything clearly, otherwise things will be difficult," Fang Zheng said earnestly, holding Li Yu's shoulders.

"Dad, we really didn't scam..."

"You still dare to lie?! Shut up, drag this little beast away and hang him up!" Fang Zheng roared at Fang Chen Yu.

Seeing Fang Chen Yu being taken away, a hint of determination appeared in Li Yu's eyes.

He knew this might happen, Chen Yu was too bold, daring to do anything, and today he finally got caught.

"Ah!" Li Yu was still thinking when he was suddenly kicked to the ground again.

He heard Li Yuanzhao's angry voice: "Little beast, confess quickly, why are you pretending to be profound!"

Tears welled up in Li Yu's eyes, and he slowly got up, full of grievance.

The mastermind got away with everything, and he, an accomplice, had already been kicked twice. What was going on?

Fang Zheng helped him brush off the dust and turned his gaze to Zhang Xiao Biao, who was standing there dumbfounded, and asked: "Xiao Biao, were you hanging out with them too?"

Zhang Xiao Biao scratched his head, looking confused: "Huh? I don't know?"

"Alright, go back to sleep!"

Focusing his gaze back on Li Yu, Li Yu took a deep breath and whispered: "Father, does Teacher want to ask about the betting?"

"Yes."

"The betting was done by me and Chen Yu together, no one else instructed or arranged it."

Fang Zheng and Li Yuanzhao exchanged glances, both shocked.

It was really planned by these two brats... This is a bit shocking.

"Tell me what you were thinking? Why did you do this?"

Li Yu said: "In the beginning, the school took us to the stadium to watch a game. During halftime, the teacher was teaching us mathematical probability and asked many questions."

"Chen Yu didn't answer a single question, but he was always thinking about making money, and came up with this way to make money. Later, I also thought it was feasible, so we started doing it."

"He came up with the idea, and we found the people together. But we really didn't think about scamming money, just making money. Who knew we'd guess wrong on the last game..."

This little bastard, his thinking is so divergent? This isn't probability at all, it's psychology!

Li Yu's voice became softer and softer, Fang Zheng was in a daze for a moment, and said eagerly: "What does he need money for? What do you need silver for?"

Li Yu glanced at Fang Zheng and said embarrassedly: "He said... he said... Teacher's family owes a hundred thousand taels in debt. He said you told him at home that after you die, the family property will all be his..."

"Chen Yu is afraid that one day you die... and the hundred thousand taels of debt will fall on his head. He can't afford to support several mothers, and he will have to support several younger siblings in the future, so he has been anxious to earn money to repay the debt."

Hoping for my death? Pure beast!

Fang Zheng's brain buzzed, and he almost passed out from anger.

Li Yuanzhao couldn't help but laugh: "Chen Yu is quite responsible! Continue, don't leave out a single detail!"

Li Yu looked at Fang Chen Yu hanging in the distance, his heart was already broken, and he sighed: "Actually, in order to help the family repay the debt, Chen Yu has been thinking about making money for a long time. He used to take a wooden tray with marbles at school and played games with his classmates, winning a few hundred taels. Later, he found that saving money like this was too slow, so he kept thinking of new ways..."

"He does this at school every day? What are his grades like?" Fang Zheng said in a trembling voice, feeling a pang of pain in his heart.

Damn it! As the head of the secret service, his own son is fishing every day and engaging in fraud at school, and he doesn't even know it?!

Li Yu's face changed several times, and finally he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words.

"Last place..."

"Ah!" Fang Zheng's eyes went black instantly, and he fainted.

"Lao Fang! Lao Fang! Wake up!"
