examination room.

The third day of the imperial examination.

Most candidates have completed the first four Chengzhu test questions.

But when faced with the last three ram test questions, they had a great headache.

After all, the juren candidates learned Cheng Zhu before, and the ones carefully prepared Cheng Zhu Jingyi. Who would spend time on the ram?

Of course, there are also many talented scholars like Yu Qian who have been stunned for a moment and then began to solve the questions and answer them.

Although the appearance of this ram test question was beyond their expectations, fortunately, these three ram test questions were not difficult, and were the three core ideas and propositions of the Ram School.

For example, the question "Six Contract Style, Nine Provinces Converge" tests the Confucian Gongyang's theory of unification. As long as it is written around the core idea of ​​"respecting the king and expelling the barbarians", there will be no major problems.

Chen Xun is the same. He is under great pressure and can only succumb to reality, give up his anger and reluctance, change his thoughts and solve the topic, and make beautiful articles one by one.

There are many young talents such as Chen Xun and Yu Qian who participated in the exam this time. The talent and knowledge are there, which is destined to stand out.

Time passes gradually and night falls soon.

After tonight, the first exam will end tomorrow. The soldiers will search for the test questions and examiners will review the candidates' answers in full swing.

But until now, there are still many candidates who are stunned to see the three ram test questions.

ram?

Test your mother!

Cheng Zhu, who has been studying for the rest of my life, are you taking the Gongyang exam now?

Isn't you killing someone?

Some students sighed, but some candidates were in good condition.

The same three ram test questions did not move, but they were not in a hurry, as if they were waiting for something.

Soon it was the Youth hour, and the candle officials such as Wang San began to work, wandering in the examination room with a basket, and giving the candidates who had used up candles.

Wang San carried the basket and walked to a candidate. The candle in his hand shook in front of him, as if asking him if he needed to refill the candle.

This is the last night of the imperial examination. Many students and candidates stay up late to work hard and write quickly before finishing the questions.

Therefore, the demand for this candle is also at its highest time.

The candidate glanced at Wang San, then glanced at the soldiers on both sides with his eyes. After confirming that no one was paying attention to him, he stretched out his left hand and made a hidden danger gesture silently.

When Wang San saw this gesture, he was shocked and knew that this person was a fraudulent candidate.

This gesture is an obscure signal arranged in advance by adults. Whenever you see the candidates making this gesture when they inspect the examination room, you will be given a characteristic candle.

However, now the candles have been replaced!

Recalling the fierce Jinyiwei and still "take care of" his poor mother at home, Wang San sighed secretly. He first took out three candles given to him by Jinyiwei and placed them on the desk table in turn. Then he took out two normal candles and placed them on the desk table in this child.

These three characteristic candles are intentionally or unintentionally separated from the two ordinary candles.

The student immediately understood the order of the placement of the three candles.

However, he first picked up an ordinary candle, lit it, and then sat on the stone couch and returned to its original state, as if he was concentrating on the test questions.

In this way, this boy sat in front of the desk without any unusual actions.

After midnight, the night is deep.

Most of the candidates and candidates have already curled up on the stone couch in their own room and fell asleep, covering their bodies with the soft quilt they carry.

Some of the soldiers on both sides of the throne began to doze and kept yawning. Even soldiers from some remote places were leaning against the wall and taking a nap.

This was the last night of the first Scripture Examination. Most of the inspectors and inspectors relaxed their vigilance. After midnight, they were never seen inspecting the examination room again.

The examiners fell asleep early and felt at ease. After all, they would review the answers from more than 5,000 candidates tomorrow, and they must be well prepared and work hard...

Except for the participants behind the scenes, no one expected that the largest imperial examination fraud case since the founding of the Ming Dynasty was happening quietly!

I saw that the student mechanically turned his head and confirmed that there was no problem. He finally picked up the first characteristic candle that Wang San put down.

With a bang, the candle broke down.

The candidate put his hands under the desk, took out the roll of paper hidden in the candle, and then he began to write quickly!

Now is the best opportunity, and the contents of the roll of paper will disappear, so he didn't have time to think about it, so he directly copied all the contents on the roll of paper neatly on the answer sheet!

After copying the first ram test, the candidate broke the second candle without hesitation and did the same.

Time is limited, so you cannot slack off!

Soon the three ram test questions were answered, and the candidate was sweating profusely. Then he kept burning the notes and broken candles in a porcelain bowl containing candles, destroying all the evidence of guilt.

Watching the broken candle melt and then condense into a large ball of wax, the candidate finally showed a relieved smile on his face.

it's over.

A Jinshi will definitely win!

Thinking of this, the candidates were tiredly packed the test questions and answered the papers neatly, pressed them with an inkstone, and then collapsed on the stone couch and fell asleep.

Tomorrow morning, an examiner came to take away the answer sheet, and he had no worries anymore.

That night, except for a few candidates who were very worried about the ram test questions, everyone else had a good night's sleep.

Nothing happened overnight.

The next morning.

The examiners and the chief officers began to take action.

After all the test questions and answers were collected, everyone began to get busy, including the seals, the transcripts, and the proofreading...

Guo Di and other examiners sat in their seats and began to wait for the papers to be reviewed.

They were filled with expectations, ecstasy and excitement!

Nothing happened last night, proving that the plan was accomplished!

This time, the fraud case of the imperial examination broke out. Even if the prince of Han in the regent is not dead, he will still lose his skin!

The review work soon began, and the answer sheets copied by the officers were delivered to the examiners.

Guo Di and others calmed down their thoughts and pretended to be focused, as if they were carefully reviewing the candidate's answers.

In fact, they are waiting for a good show and waiting for hundreds of exactly-same answers to appear!

"Huh? This answer sheet..."

A fellow examiner suddenly spoke, and a look of doubt appeared on his face.

Zeng Qi was a little displeased when he saw this and whispered: "No matter whether it is good or bad, please review it first and pass it on to others. Don't make loud noises!"

However, the examiner suddenly stood up and looked at the answer sheet being reviewed by his colleagues beside him, with a look of shock and shock.

"This...what's going on? How could it be so similar?"

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar!

Guo Di was instantly overjoyed, immediately got up and came to him, took two answer sheets and saw that he was about to shout about fraud.

However, when he saw the content of the answer clearly, he also showed doubts.

What's going on in this...

This is not the Ram answer he wrote!

However, before he could come back to his senses, the other seven examiners had already started to clamor.

"Corruption! This is fraud!"

"Scandal! Shocking scandal!"

"This cannot be said to be irrelevant, it's exactly the same!"

Zeng Qi was shocked and Chen Can was panicked. All the examiners gathered around and looked at the two identical answer sheets, their scalp was so shocked!

fraud!

This is definitely fraud!

Guo Di is still wondering why the content of this answer has changed, but his accomplices have already started to act. Some shout about scandal and fraud, while others are looking for "similar" answers.

The entire marking scene was in chaos and everyone was panicked.

Zeng Qi stared at the two identical answers in front of him, wanting to see some clues.

However, when he noticed a detail, his face was instantly bloodless and he was so scared that he sat on the chair.

"This...this is not...fraud!"

When Guo Di's accomplices heard this, they were furious and began to mock him in gloating.

"Mr. Zeng, the evidence is as strong as a mountain, so why can you make a quibble?"

"What a joke? There will be exactly the same articles in the exam room. Isn't this cheating? "

"Mr. Zeng, don't make mistakes. It is important to find out the whole story!"

Faced with the ridiculous and slap of these people, Zeng Qi pointed to the answer sheet and shouted angrily: "I scared you, take a closer look at what these eight words are!"

Chen Can and others looked along his fingers, and the next moment they were all scared to the point of being bloodless and as pale as paper.

"This is not a fraud! This is clearly a rebellion!"

Those eight characters are aligned neatly and uniformly, and there is no problem when looking from right to left, but from top to bottom, it is exactly the words of a traitor!

"Call the soldiers and the chaos"
Chapter completed!
