Whether it is the current imperial examination or the college entrance examination in the past life, we should pay attention to being as fair and just as possible.
We must create an opportunity for fair competition for students who have worked hard.
If fraud becomes common, this sacred balance will be tipped and the hearts of scholars all over the world will be chilled.
This impact may seem one-sided, but it can shake the foundation of the country. Once fairness and justice are lost, people will question the relevant systems, which will lead to changes in people's hearts.
A thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an ant nest.
Now that something is wrong has been discovered, it is necessary to put things right in a timely manner. It is not too late to remedy the situation before it is too late.
Qi Yu frowned and said, "This matter must be thoroughly investigated and clarified, otherwise, hidden dangers will arise and negative consequences will result."
Yu Hai was a bit confused, "Check, that's for sure! But where to start? If we launch an investigation with great fanfare, it will cause a collective panic among the examinees, and then trigger a discussion about whether this subject should be abolished.
Candidates still have a problem with their scores being invalidated. According to Yi Hai, this matter can be investigated, but it cannot be done in public, let alone allow the police to open a case. Everything is based on safety, and it is best to be able to do it without knowing it.
.”
Hmm! That makes sense!
If it is done in accordance with the law, it is very likely to lead to a blanket dismissal of Kaozi, which will implicate innocent people.
Sometimes, the law is not so perfect and is even almost ruthless.
Qi Yu feels this way now.
Han Chuang had a deep understanding of the hardships of studying hard, and he should never resort to this method unless he had no choice but to do so.
Every injustice has its owner, every debt has its owner!
Go to whoever caused the trouble and try not to bring harm to Chi Yu. Therefore, Yu Hai's concerns are quite reasonable.
Using this as a guide, the principles for handling cases can basically be determined.
No disclosure, no case filed!
Solve the matter in a covert manner.
But first, it is necessary to establish who should be investigated and how.
Yu Hai thought for a while and said: "I think that in this matter, Master Yang Gonglin is the most suspect!"
"Oh? Master Yu, what's the basis for this?"
"You see, he is an official of the Hanlin Academy. In theory, he has the opportunity to participate in the process of setting questions or sealing the seal. Now that he comes to Qiong to invigilate the exam, there is no guarantee that he will be tempted by some 'external factors'
And leaking secrets.”
"Haha, this is impossible!"
Qi Yu shook his head and said: "Although Lord Yu's guess seems logical, it is not consistent with the truth!"
After a pause, he explained in detail: "There are two reasons. First, Yang Gonglin is not only my teacher, but also an old friend of mine for many years. He cannot trap me in the quagmire because of his past reputation. Second, he is a person who is more than flattering.
But he lacks courage and dares not do anything that goes against the rules. If not for this, he would not have been able to climb the ranks for so many years."
Relying on his own feelings, Qi Dalang expressed his judgment.
The conclusion is that Yang Gonglin does not have such courage.
There is another point that Qi Yu did not explain clearly.
If he really wants to seek any benefits, he can fully benefit from it through the power of marking and judging, so why bother with leaking questions that leave public evidence?
Who would be willing to eat Wo Wo Tou when there is fat meat to eat?
It doesn’t make sense logically!
Yu Hai thought about it for a while and agreed: "If it wasn't Yang Gonglin's trick, it might be someone else from the Hanlin Academy or the Ministry of Rites."
"It's possible, but we can't draw conclusions so arbitrarily. It's possible that the Hanlin Academy may have committed theft, and the Ministry of Rites is no exception. As for who is innocent, the coffin can only be sealed with definite evidence." Qi Yu compared.
Said cogently.
It is not unreasonable to say so.
Before the facts are clear, who dares to say who is innocent?
This situation is like a sentence from a novel in the previous life, "Under the Dark Mist": Only by clearing the clouds and seeing the sun can the fog be solved.
Now that a problem has arisen, how to deal with it is the top priority at the moment.
Qi Yu analyzed it and said: "Either this, let's start with the first person and the second person in Jinke's case, and carefully study the source of their problems. If we can find any clues, this matter will not be solved."
It’s hard to figure it out anymore.”
Yu Hai smiled and said: "This method of following the clues is indeed feasible, and it can be regarded as the best strategy. However, it is too passive. If the other party is unwilling to cooperate, there is nothing we can do. Unless we can file a case publicly and impose severe punishment.
Only through interrogation can we obtain real information. But then, it will become known to women and children, and the original intention of handling the case will be lost."
This is indeed a very troublesome problem.
It is necessary to get to the bottom of things without making waves, so that we have to have our cake and eat it too.
Sigh...it's a bit difficult!
"Father, why don't you leave this matter to me to investigate and deal with, what do you think?" Xiaotong volunteered after hearing about it.
"What? Leave it to you?" Qi Yu was startled, then hesitantly asked.
"My daughter has martial arts skills and is flexible in evasion. She can steal her secrets when she goes in, and she can escape quietly when she retreats. No one can stop her." Xiaotong said with confidence.
Qi Yu smiled and said: "Investigating a case is different from fighting. You cannot solve the problem by relying on force alone. The mystery involved needs to be solved with your own wisdom."
"I see!"
Xiaotong suddenly smiled and said: "Father, don't worry, my daughter will definitely not use force this time, but only use pure strategy to solve the problem."
This is what you are talking about, so how can you have the nerve to refuse it explicitly?
My daughter's family is very thin-skinned, and she won't be rude if she doesn't want to be guileless.
"Hmm...okay!" Qi Yu seemed to consider it carefully, and then nodded generously.
Xiaotong was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Thank you so much, father."
Qi Yu pressed his hand and said: "However, you must pay attention to the following two points. First, do not leak the news before the investigation is clear, so as not to cause panic to the candidates. Second, do not use torture.
Even if they break the law, they are severely punished by law and should not be tried by lynching."
"This is……"
Was it a lack of consideration in asking Xiaotong to investigate the case?
Qi Yu felt that he could take this opportunity to test his daughter's abilities and see if they had improved.
Also, with her martial arts attainments, she does have an advantage over others.
After making these decisions, Qi Dalang ordered the government officials to invite Yang Gonglin over.
According to the current system, before the important matter of the imperial examination is decided, the local chief official should try his best to avoid suspicion with the teacher, so as not to be mistaken for saying hello and building relationships.
However, the current situation is a bit special, and the two of them must meet and have a chat to come up with a temporary arrangement.
You know, there are many important things that need to be arranged later, such as the release of the results and the deer roaring banquet. If you don't plan in advance, the following things will not be able to unfold.
