Returning to the academy after a year's absence, Hande Academy remained unchanged, as if a year had passed in a single day. A sea of scholars in dark blue ru robes and ru caps coming and going.

"Hezhi, Brother Sheng Jia passed the Metropolitan Examination! The letter says he will soon visit Yuncheng in person!"

Fang Yu quickly scanned the letter, and his earlier slight displeasure vanished completely. He immediately smiled and spoke to the person beside him.

Having spent so much time in the study, Fang Yu had long known there was a small drawer under the desk. Out of curiosity, he had opened it a long time ago, but it was empty. Since the small drawer couldn't hold much and wasn't convenient for storing things, and he had nothing he needed to hide, he gradually forgot about it.

Following the mourning period, two golden osmanthus trees were transplanted in the front courtyard. When first planted, their leaves were withered and yellow, constantly falling. During the summer, Qiao Hezhi had people water them daily. This year, upon entering autumn, the trees unexpectedly revived all at once, their leaves lush and green, and now the entire trees were fragrant with blossoms.

"Are you really going to be a teacher?"

Upon hearing the academy's arrangements from Fang Yu after he returned from academy, Qiao Hezhi was both astonished and unable to contain his joy. "There are young men in the city who became Xiucai at twelve, but there isn't a single person under twenty serving as a teacher at Hande Academy."

After Master Zhang informed Dean Wang Qingshan of Fang Yu's agreement to stay at the academy as a teacher, Dean Wang convened a meeting with the four vice deans that very afternoon to discuss the matter.

Fang Yu had been a student at the academy for several years, but during his early time there, the dean and vice deans barely noticed him.

"Are all the family matters settled now?"

Fang Yu replied respectfully, "They have all been handled. After taking so many days of leave, it's only right to return early."

Master Zhang waved his hand. "Taking a long leave due to your mother's passing is understandable. It's just a pity about next year's metropolitan exam. But observing mourning for one's parents, even if it means missing the metropolitan exam, is of no consequence. You are still young; there will be plenty of opportunities."

Qiao Hezhi lay curled up on the bed. After soaking his feet in an mugwort packet and tucking them under the quilt, they weren't cold anymore, yet he still pulled the covers right up to his chin, exposing only his eyes as he stared at the now-dim candlelight outside the bed curtains.

"Magistrate Qian, you have worked hard these past days."

"Assistant Prefect, your words shame this humble official. It is you who has been laboring and worrying, while I have been of little help."

"Be careful. Avoid scraping anything heavy against this."

A horse-drawn cart loaded with goods made its way through the bustling, crowded streets towards the city gates. Watching the cart successfully exit the city from a hidden vantage point, Zhang Shiyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"We heard about the poisoning among the commoners—it’s affected so many, even some students at the academy have taken ill. When we learned yesterday that Brother Fang had acted as a litigation master, everyone was stirred and inspired, greatly regretting not being there in person to hear Brother Fang's arguments."

Qiao Xinnian returned home. Although the past few days in the imperial prison had not subjected him to excessive hardship, enduring that kind of harsh environment had still aged him noticeably. The people in the Qiao residence bustled about, both welcoming Qiao Xinnian back and preparing food and drink for the man who had endured days of fright to have a proper meal.

"It's merely an ordinary case. This lowly official has just concluded the hearing. How could it trouble Your Excellency to grace us with your presence?" Qian Wuzhang felt uneasy, his heart in his throat. "Who was so imprudent as to disturb Your Excellency's rest?"

Apart from the four witnesses found in advance, there were three additional people present: three merchants from whom the Qiao family had purchased pork, cloth, and grain for their charity distributions.

In addition to these, the physical evidence submitted included detailed expenditure records of the Qiao family's charity distributions, detailed sales records from the merchants, and actual samples of the items purchased by the Qiao family at the same price.

The preparations had been rushed, evidence was still lacking, and even the courtroom procedures had been something Fang Yu hastily inquired about on the way here.

Qin Keqi himself felt far from confident. His plan had been to listen to the defendant’s statements, then counter and delay as much as possible.

When Qiao Hezhi awoke, the sky was already bright. His sleep had been shallow the night before; he startled awake from time to time and only managed to sleep properly around sigeng (1-3 AM). He hadn't expected to oversleep once he finally did.

"Scram, scram! Who do you think you are? You can't just come asking questions whenever you want. This is the government office, not a marketplace!"

Fang Yu rushed to the county office, hoping to ask the guards at the door whether Qiao Xinnian had been taken for questioning or thrown into jail. Despite his polite and courteous inquiries, he hadn't expected these gatekeepers to be so arrogant.

"Today, Father is truly happy. He usually doesn't drink much, but with Brother Fang here, he couldn't resist indulging in a few extra cups."

"Ah, it's also because the appetizers in your residence are excellent."

"Oh, listen to him," Ji Lingsheng turned to the servant beside him. "How good he is at putting on airs as the master. One might think the Assistant Prefect's residence is run by a concubine and a bastard son making the decisions. You still remember we are a respectable family? In a respectable family, is there a place for a bastard son to speak?"

Before going to the Assistant Prefect's residence, Fang Yu informed Ji Yunlu. He had heard that the Assistant Prefect was particularly fond of marinated duck tongues, specifically those made by the old master chef Gan from the Gan family restaurant in Wuming Lane.
