"Your Highness, you and the three princes-in-law, please rest assured. The three northern princes have never stepped out of the courtyard since they returned to their residences that day. The spies we placed in the courtyard also said that they often invite their classmates into the house. , you can see that he is studying the test questions."
In the Prince's Mansion, the subordinates responsible for monitoring Wang Li and the three men bowed and stood in front of Feng Jing and Shen Ge, their voices full of respect and pride.
Just yesterday, the three Wang and Li people who had obtained the exam questions had summoned all the northern candidates for a secret meeting in the largest hall in their courtyard.
Although their spies were not allowed to enter during this period, they could lie on the door panel and eavesdrop.
From the few words they heard, it can be seen that although these three people did not specify that they had the test questions and that the questions were given by Feng Xi, they did list the test questions.
As long as these three people are in line, they will not be afraid of the sophistry of these northern leaders.
"Okay, great. Go and inform Feng Yu and ask Li Juren over there to take the lead and go look for the person when these northerners gather."
Feng Jing was overjoyed, cheating, as long as they can label Feng Xi as the leader in cheating, even if her father is suppressing her, Feng Xi will never be able to get away with it.
"yes!"
Seeing his confidant take the order and leave, Shen Ge said with some uncertainty:
"Your Highness, it's good that we can control Feng Xi, but don't you think our move is a little too smooth?"
Xu was shocked by the tilt of the boat that day, and Shen Ge had reservations about this matter in the past few days.
There was nothing he could do. After the gathering that day, he tried his best to investigate the boat incident.
However, even if he cut off the hands and feet of the "water ghost" who was on the mission, the other party would only lift Feng Xi's boat plank, crying and shouting that he could not betray the Shen family.
Yes, that "water ghost" was originally the best among the general's navy, and was a confidant specially prepared for him by his father.
For such a lonely man whose wealth and life depended entirely on the General's Mansion, was it necessary for him to betray the General's Mansion?
If it wasn't him, then who was it that flipped the boards of the other four boats?
Such a silent technique may not even be comparable to the "water ghost" they carefully cultivated.
Every time he thinks of this, Shen Ge will feel a chill running down his spine...
Then he thought about his sister who was still lying on the bed, crying in pain every time because of the broken bones in her body, and he felt resistant to facing Feng Xi.
Seeing Shen Ge's slightly timid expression, Feng Jing wanted to scold him for being too timid to take on a big responsibility.
However, Shen Ge was his brother-in-law after all, and the two were childhood friends, so he finally nodded and said:
"It doesn't matter, our arrangements are all for the sake of the scientific examination. We will keep a close eye on them in the past few days. If there is any abnormality, we will stop immediately."
Shen Ge nodded, and the uneasiness in his heart faded a little.
Doesn't he want to deal with Feng Xi?
Just because Feng Xi single-handedly ruined his Shen family gathering and killed his sister without hesitation, there was no way he wouldn't want to!
While Feng Jing and Shen Ge were discussing countermeasures, the people sent by Feng Yu to test Beidi Juzi also set out.
They successfully arrived when Wang Li summoned everyone to enter the lobby, and with the attitude of looking down on the three of them, they broke into the lobby directly.
Just as the saying goes, give a pillow if you feel sleepy. Even though Wang Li and the others looked calm, they still saw a look of panic on the face of one of the candidates in the back row.
Obviously, these people do have secrets that other people don't know, just as the person who came into contact with him said.
Time passed day by day, and with the news gathered from Feng Yu, Shen Ge finally felt relieved.
On the morning of the ninth day of March, the city of Shengjing, which had been noisy for a whole month, returned to peace.
Outside the Gongyuan of the capital, a group of five people lined up to enter. Both their outer robes and their skin were carefully inspected by the patrolling sergeants.
During this period, some of the cheaters were dragged away directly, and there were many tricks that were linked to each other. Some people acted quickly, completing the inspection in the shortest time, and entered the room to start familiarizing themselves with the environment.
At the same time, in the Hanlin Academy, a group of Hanlin scholars led by Hanlin University Scholar Su Guang were also confronting Li Cifu and others who were about to go to the examination room to take the exam.
"Li Cifu, we have also asked this question, and we have never been out of the Hanlin Academy before the exam started. But now that spring is about to begin, it is too much for you not to allow us to return home."
"Yes, yes. In the past, we could go back home as soon as the exam started. There is no such rule that we have to mark the papers before we can leave..."
"Li Cifu, it's not that we don't try our best, it's just that we have never been like this in Dazhao."
…
With Su Guang taking the lead, a group of Hanlins who had been in the Hanlin Academy for more than half a month spoke out, saying that they really did not want to stay in the Academy anymore.
But what they didn't expect was that it was not Li Cifu's persuasion that finally made them give up the idea, but the imperial edict brought by Eunuch Zhao Xi and Zhao Xi.
"The Emperor and Li Cifu also know that you have been working hard recently, but it is rare for us to revise the test questions, so we must be prepared for other accidents, right? What if some exams fail due to this, and they come to you and others in anger? What if something happens to you and others? , who will approve the subsequent articles?"
After reading the imperial edict, Zhao Xi's series of questions made all the officials look complicated.
Isn’t that just anger?
Not to mention those examples, even old guys like them would flip the table after reading the test questions.
There are no classics, policy theory, or three histories. Doesn’t this push those who are good at literature to death?
Ten years of hard work, one can imagine how many people will be crazy about it...
Thinking of this, the Hanlin officials who originally wanted to go out could only lament their sin and chose to stay in the hospital in order not to bring trouble to their families.
Su Guang was the only one standing in the crowd a little awkwardly. Maybe he had done something wrong, and he was inevitably a little uneasy when he knew that he could not return home.
But what Eunuch Zhao Xi said is not unreasonable. Maybe, maybe he really thinks too much...
That's right, the two adults behind him were both very capable, and he was right to follow them.
While Su Guang was comforting himself, Li Cifu, who arrived at Gongyuan, had torn the previously prepared test questions into pieces, and Liu Wanshi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, safely presented the new questions that had been prepared.
After the exam questions were sung, a certain patrol inspector who had already seen the missing questions was shocked and thought of a way to report it to the outside world.
However, after a stick of incense, Feng Jing and Feng Yu, who had been paying close attention to Gongyuan, received the good news that the Gongyuan exam had begun and the test questions were the same as what they had missed.
In this case, can those subordinates who know the test questions in advance still be retained?
Except for those who will be used to correct Feng Xi in the future, all others will be killed.
As for what the exam questions were, the two of them and their cronies didn't know.
