The person who spoke was the scholar who had just spread the news about Xu He's cheating.
This man was about forty years old, and he looked quite talented, but his eyes were drooping in a figure-eight shape, and the tip of his nose was aquiline, giving him a sinister feeling.
"Teacher, don't rush to give Xie Yuanlang a hairpin, the student has something to say!"
The Deer Ming Banquet must follow the rules and procedures.
Rules are rules and cannot be broken easily.
At this time, the master of the examination came forward and said: "Wang Zhong, Wang Shijun, if you have anything to say, please wait until the Luming Banquet is over. Didn't you see that the examiner is giving Jieyuan Lang a hairpin?"
But Wang Zhong didn't buy it, and said with a smile: "Teacher, it's not that I ruined the deer singing banquet, nor did I ruin Yuanlang's hairpin ceremony, but the student has a question in his mind, and he won't be happy if he doesn't express it!"
When Gu Shouyuan saw this, he looked at Xu He in front of him and understood. Sure enough, what was supposed to come had come.
Gu Shouyuan said, "What's the matter with you?"
Wang Zhong, however, did not look at the examiner at all. He turned to look at the judges and said, "Everyone, there is something I don't know if you are clear about."
As soon as he finished speaking, he revealed the matter of leaking questions before the exam.
This news was like a three-eyed gun exploding in everyone's ears. All the examiners and examiners looked at this man in shock and confusion.
The people were shocked because they already knew about this matter, but they didn't expect that Wang Zhong would dare to confront Hard Steel about this matter, and in such a formal occasion as the Luming Banquet.
Those who didn't know about this stirred up huge waves in their hearts, and a feeling of being deceived instantly surged into their hearts.
The examiners did not expect that the matter had spread and broke out at such an important time.
If the situation is not under control, they, the examiners of the provincial examination, will suffer the consequences if Gu Shouyuan is killed.
At this time, someone stood out from the crowd and said angrily: "Master Gu, is this serious?"
Even the teacher stopped calling, so one can imagine how angry everyone was.
When Gu Shouyuan saw someone questioning him, his face was calm and he stroked his beard and said calmly: "It is indeed true. The person who leaked the question is an experience of the Supervisory Censor of Henan Province and the school bookstore. They have been arrested by the Jinyi Guards!"
Wang Zhong asked: "Then who was the test question leaked to?"
Gu Shouyuan stared at Wang Zhong, and then asked: "You are Wang Zhong, a county student in Changshu County, Suzhou Prefecture, with official status. Your father Wang Gui was the censor of Jiangxi Province before you became an official. Am I right?"
Wang Zhong was stunned and said: "So what?"
Gu Shouyuan nodded: "Not at all. I just want to ask you about leaking questions before the exam. I have reported this matter to Your Majesty for 800 miles. Do you have any questions?"
Wang Zhong sneered and said: "Master Gu, things cannot be unreasonable. I heard someone said that when this happened, the topic was leaked to Xie Yuanlang Xu He!"
"ah!"
"Is this happening?"
"this……"
Now not only the examiners, but also the examiners looked at Xu He in horror.
Most of the people here were not outside the Gongyuan, and Gu Shouyuan had issued a gag order not to talk about the leak, so many people still don't know about Xu He.
Gu Shouyuan said: "Xu He found out about the leak and exposed it to me. It was a merit or a fault. Is there any problem?"
Wang Zhong chuckled, turned around and said to everyone: "However, before the Tiangong Courtyard was locked, this new Jieyuan met the examiner. If they made a game and deliberately said something to leak the question, it was actually a wash. How about getting rid of suspicion and secretly communicating before being locked up?"
"Fart!" Suddenly, Xue Yongzhi walked in from outside the door, "Who on earth instigated you to deliberately speak ill of the examiner and Xie Yuanlang here!"
When everyone saw him, some of them were impressed. This person was the undergraduate exam supervisor and often appeared upstairs in Mingyuan. Because he was wearing armor, he was very memorable.
Wang Zhong was not intimidated by Xue Yongzhi's momentum. He turned to Xue Yongzhi and said, "If I guess correctly, this is Mr. Xue Xiaohou, right? The Crown Prince of Ningguo!"
"You..." Xue Yongzhi did not expect that this new candidate would actually recognize him.
Wang Zhongdao: "I also heard the news that you are the commander of the Dragon and Tiger Guards, and you had the experience of catching [leak title] in the school bookstore on the night when the Gongyuan was locked up. Do you have this experience?"
"This..." Xue Yongzhi didn't expect that the other party knew about him, and was stunned for a moment.
Wang Zhong sneered: "You and Xu He have known each other for a long time. How can there be such a coincidence in the world? You and Xu He know each other, and you helped Xu He catch the person who wronged him. Could this... be your collusion? Okay?"
Xue Yongzhi was furious: "That's nonsense. If Liang Sheng knew the test questions in advance, why would he take off his pants and fart and report himself?"
The words were crude but not crude. All the examiners and examiners felt that what Xue Yongzhi said made sense.
Wang Zhong curled his lips and said, "Who knows, maybe it's superfluous, maybe he's... stupid?"
Xue Yongzhi still wanted to defend, but Wang Zhong turned his head and didn't look at him at all. Instead, he looked at Xu He and said, "Jie Yuanlang, do you have a clear conscience for wearing this title?"
Just when everyone thought Xu He was about to start desperately defending, he suddenly smiled at Wang Zhong.
This smile made Wang Zhong's heart skip a beat, feeling that things seemed to be changing in an uncontrollable direction.
Xu He said: "Wang Zhong, a native of Changshu County, I heard that your father is an upright official, and your mother, Lu, is a well-known virtuous woman in the local area. Because of her filial piety to her parents-in-law, she was specially commended by the imperial court for her honor!"
Wang Zhong snorted and said, "What's going on?"
Xu He smiled slightly: "What about your grandfather Wang Gao? How was he born?"
"This..." Wang Zhong turned pale when he heard this.
His grandfather was a scholar who was silent in silence. After he became a Jinshi, he released him from slavery, bought him land in Changshu, married him and had children. Because it happened decades ago, few people in the world know about it.
Can……
But Xu He is...
Moreover, it was obvious that Xu He had known that he was going to attack, so he had been waiting for him.
Everyone listened to Xu He's story about Wang Zhong's life, and saw Wang Zhong's face changed drastically. They were all a little strange. They couldn't figure out what Xu He's words meant.
At this time, Xu He said to everyone: "Some of you know me, and some don't. Those who know my character and knowledge will naturally know. If you don't know, I can't prove my innocence."
"Let me tell you a story. During the county examination, a big family in the village also wanted to accuse me of being involved, but unfortunately, he failed."
At this time, he turned to look at Wang Zhong: "Now some people with ulterior motives, who are entrusted by whom, want to frame my innocence."
Xu He smiled: "What a pity, they are going to make a mistake!"
"At any other time, I would have been unable to defend myself in this situation, but at this time I can stand here with dignity and tell everyone that no one can falsely accuse me of my innocence!"
Wang Zhong said with a ferocious expression: "Why do you do that?"
"That's all!"
Suddenly, Gu Shouyuan took a book and opened it and read: "I have received your book. Since you want to avoid suspicion, you can ask Liu Hao, the Nanjing Imperial College priest, to prepare the questions. The papers of the top ten people after the exam do not need to be sealed." , send it directly to Guo Zhu to Beijing, and I will read it myself!"
…
What?
Didn't Gu Shouyuan come up with the test questions?
The paper was also reviewed by the emperor himself.
this……
No wonder Xu He is not afraid of people questioning him. This is not a candidate for examination. Isn't this the treatment that only those who have passed the Jinshi examination can receive?
This is...the hand-picked Jieyuan...ah!
