    Although the fire was fierce, it only burned down dozens of houses in the southwest corner of Cao's mansion. Except for the farm tools and fodder piled inside, it did not burn any valuables.

    ¡°But Ding did not relax her vigilance. According to the on-site investigation, it was clear that someone was deliberately setting the fire.  So, since there were thieves who were willing to take extraordinary risks to sneak into Cao's mansion, why did they just set fire to the relatively remote southwest corner? What was their purpose?  Moreover, how did they escape Cao's mansion's night patrol? Do they have internal spies in the mansion?

    Ms. Ding couldn¡¯t figure it out, and couldn¡¯t find any evidence at the scene. She sighed and frowned.

    Cao Ang was also very surprised by the thief's strange behavior, but after searching through the history in his mind, he could not find any relevant records.  Seeing that Mrs. Ding was still thinking nervously, Cao Ang persuaded in a low voice: "Mother, these thieves are very strange. However, since they are taking risks tonight, as long as we keep them calm, sooner or later they will reveal their secrets."  It's a mistake, mother, don't worry too much. Now that the fire has been put out, mother still orders everyone to go back to their respective places to see if they can find more clues!"

    Mrs. Ding nodded, called the steward, ordered him to distribute rewards to the nursing staff present, and then disbanded the team.

    The servants thought they would be reprimanded or even beaten by Cao Ding for their poor guarding, but now they were surprised to receive a reward. They were very surprised and extremely moved.  It is truly a blessing for everyone to have such a kind mistress!  With the newly distributed rewards in their hands, everyone couldn't help but kowtow in Mrs. Ding's direction to express their gratitude.

    Soon, Mrs. Ding took Cao Ang back to her yard. Seeing the nervous expressions of Yu'er and Xie'er, Mrs. Ding didn't pay attention.  It is human nature to be afraid of two little girls.

    Cao Ang just wanted to leave here and go back to his own yard to rest.  However, Ding was worried about Cao Ang's safety and refused to do so.

    At this moment, someone came to report to Ding that the clan academy was also set on fire by thieves, burning half of the study room. The bamboo slips that the students answered yesterday were all piled up like this. Because of the sudden incident, they were not rescued.  The fire destroyed them all.

    Ms. Ding scratched her head, what on earth did this thief want to do, and why did he think of burning down the study?

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  Among them, Master Cao extended his thumbs to Master Liu: "Master Liu, Mr. Cao is really convinced by you. You have solved such a difficult problem of determining grades so easily! Mr. Cao is really impressed!"

    "Yes, yes! Master Liu, you can be called the number one think tank in our clan science!" Master Qian and Master Zhao also expressed their appreciation in unison. Anyway, you don't need to spend money to say good things.

    Master Liu gently stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "Who made those little thieves hate the prosperity of our clan school and want to burn down our academy? It's just a matter of luck that we found out in time as soon as the fire destroyed the study room and destroyed it.  Put it out quickly!"

    The four unscrupulous father and son laughed loudly, and they all secretly thanked the little thief who set the fire. The more dedicated little thieves who are willing to take the blame, the better in the world!

    When it was daylight, Ding and Master Cao came to Cao Song's gate respectively and informed him of what happened last night.

    Because of the distance, the small courtyard where Cao Song lived did not hear much movement last night, and Cao Song did not know much about the fire in Cao Mansion last night.

    After listening to Ding's report, Cao Song said angrily: "There is a little thief who is trying to make trouble on the head of our Qiao County Cao family. He is really worthy of death! Come here, take my name card and go to the Qiao County government office immediately."  , give it to the county magistrate Liu Quan! Tell Liu Quan clearly that if the culprit is not found within ten days, he will be the county magistrate for the rest of his life!"

    After all, Cao Song was a high-ranking official in the court, and he still had great influence in both the government and the public.  If he is really angry, Liu Quan is not worthy of Cao Song's eyes!

    Immediately, someone shouted to receive the order, and then turned around to deliver the order.  Master Cao also came forward to report the burning of the clan school study room.

    Cao Song smiled slightly, shook his head slightly, and said to Master Cao: "Master, the thief is quite interested. If the study is burned, just burn it. You can go to the accountant later to get some money and let the housekeeper arrange for someone to rebuild it. Alas.  , Does Mingshan really have so much money to manage?"

    Cao Song thought that Cao De bribed a certain concubine in the academy to burn down the study, so that Cao Ang's grades would not overwhelm Cao Anmin again.  He would never have thought that his own grandson Cao Ang, who was outstanding in literary talent, had been replaced by a time traveler and that the masters of the academy were actively fighting for Cao Ang this time in order to please Cao Song.Protect!

    Master Cao has always been at odds with Cao De, so naturally he would not be kind enough to explain to him.  He just smiled, noncommittal.  So a scapegoat was placed on the unsuspecting Cao De, causing him to sneeze several times.

    Master Cao asked with a smile: "Mr. Cao, our family's academic competitions have always had two paths: civil and military. Students studying literature do not need to participate in the martial arts competition, and students studying martial arts do not need to participate in the literary test. The civil and military scores are ranked separately. But this year you said  The descendants of the Cao family who are of appropriate age must be both civilized and martial, and must participate in all competitions. The results of this year¡¯s literary examination are invalid. Do we need to hold the examination again? "

    Cao Song shook his head and said, "Forget it, the students have been preparing for so long. Let's relax after the exam and don't embarrass them again! Let's do this. The clan will pay for it and each student will be given two ounces of money. It will be a good reward for them during this time.  Commendation for learning. Whether it is the Cao family or the Xiahou family, this money will be distributed to all!"

    Master Cao said quickly: "Mr. Cao is really considerate of the students. I believe many students will remember Gong Cao's grace after receiving this money!"

    Cao Song smiled and shook his head, "No, you are wrong, this is not the grace of me, Cao Song! It is our Cao family's reward for their hard study, and our Cao family's expectations for them! By the way, I heard  It is said that Aang¡¯s academic performance in ethnic studies is very good, is this true?¡±

    Master Cao hurriedly said: "It is indeed true! Little Cao Ang always came first in every exam in the past, and he is considered the best student in ethnic studies!"

    As he spoke, Master Cao took a long breath and secretly admired everyone's decision last night.  Did you hear that Cao Song, the head of the Cao family, personally asked about the results and used such a kind name? This is a unique honor among the third generation of the Cao family!

    Ding on the side quickly smiled and said: "Aang has to copy big characters every day and read books very late. And he will go to the martial arts field every day this month to work hard. I heard from the martial arts masters that he practices extremely hard!"

    Cao Song nodded, smiled and said to Master Cao: "Master, I met him in the county a few days ago, and he made my eyes light up! You Masters are all famous teachers carefully selected by me. You will definitely  We must have strict requirements on him and train him to become a talented person! Ah Man was quite naughty when he was young, so you have to keep an eye on Ang'er for me!"

    Master Cao agreed quickly, and then asked: "Mr. Cao, what method will be used for the competition this year? Is it going to be a competition in a martial arts field or going out hunting?"

    "Of course we are going out hunting!" Cao Song said with a smile: "Last year, the Yellow Turbans caused chaos, so our competition was forced to stay in the martial arts field. This year, let everyone go out and relax, eat roasted hare, roasted wild duck, and relax.  ! Let¡¯s do this, the day after tomorrow is an auspicious day, you go back and inform us, we will go hunting the day after tomorrow, and I will personally award the prizes to those with excellent results!¡±

    Master Cao quickly smiled and said, "They are really lucky to have Duke Cao present the award to them. If I hadn't been over the age of competition, I would have joined the hunting team to win Duke Cao's prize!"

    Cao Song laughed

    And not long after, Lingyue was so angry that she felt like crying.  She frowned and looked at Lingshan, and asked angrily: "So, last night you went to the Cao family's house, set a big fire in excitement, and then went to meet and pat those two little girls.  Just leave? Lingshan, Lingshan, how come you have so much leisure and leisure? Is that an ordinary family? It is the manor of Cao Song. It belongs to Da Sinong, Da Honglu, and Cao Song, who once served as one of the three princes.  manor!"

    Lingshan lowered her head, wrung her fingers, and whispered: "Sister, I didn't mean it. I wanted to just meet with the crabs yesterday, but I didn't expect them to be in the deep house in the inner courtyard of the Cao Mansion. They were on guard.  Sen Yan, I really couldn't find a chance, so I had no choice but to set off a fire to attract the attention of the Cao family patrol team. How could I have thought that this fire would be so big! Senior sistersistermy dear  Sister, I will definitely notice it next time!¡±

    "Do you still want a next time? Humph!" Lingyue frowned, rubbed her temples, and whispered: "Lingshan, our Moon Worshiping Sect is in a period of low-key development now, and we must not attract the attention of the government.  . Now Cao Song has sent someone to hand Liu Quan a note to solve the case within a limited time. Liu Quan is like a crazy wild dog, searching everywhere! If he finds out our identity, you will have made a big mistake.  ! Think carefully, did you reveal your identity yesterday?"

    "Probably not," Lingshan said uncertainly, feeling a little guilty.

    "Well, if you stay in the inn these days, don't go there!" Lingyue sighed, "You have to reflect on it, when will you realize your mistake, and when will you go out!"

    At this moment, Lin Le knocked on the door, ran in quickly, came up to Lingyue, and whispered: "Senior sister, Vincent is here, please indicate"?Let¡¯s buy more slaves!  "

    Lingshan's ears were very good and she could hear everything clearly. She jumped up suddenly and said angrily: "This beast dares to come here. He really doesn't know whether to live or die! Senior sister, I will kill him right now.  Revenge for Myolie and the others!¡±

    "Sit down and stay still!" Lingyue roared angrily: "As the temporary head teacher, I order you to stay here and not go out. Ziying, keep an eye on her for me. Lin  Le, let¡¯s go!¡±
