The night is very dark
An ox cart drove out, but it was Liao Qingge, the prefect, and Gao Yaochen was also riding in it.
Zheng followed the Wei system. Horses were for martial arts and oxen were for civil service. All officials used oxen. In fact, the oxen carts were slow and steady, and the carriages were spacious. They were equipped with sheds and curtains and several mats. You could sit or lie down at will, even the oxen. The car was very popular.
Tan Youshan was limping now and headed towards Qiuwei with a group of officers.
The police officer who followed him to investigate didn't even bother to say anything.
They wanted to say that the old man was looking for trouble, but then they thought about it, if they had an only son and he was harmed by others, they would probably avenge his son, even at the cost of their lives, right?
Qian Mazi's expression was even more complicated. Tan Youshan was the husband, but after this incident, he was afraid that there would be no good results.
The prefect's Yamen is not far from Qiuwei Gongyuan, and it attracted some people's attention on the road.
Tan Youshan doesn't care about other people's opinions at all. He is not afraid of death. Why should he be afraid of other people's opinions?
The camp gate was in front of us, and we found that the gate was quite well guarded. Since the camp gate opened in the early morning, some family servants were waiting in advance, so it was not deserted.
"Hey, you old man, do you know where this place is? How dare you barge in before the camp door is opened, and risk your life?" The two armored soldiers immediately pressed their swords and shouted with warning: "Quickly retreat!"
"A few of you, the prefect is right behind and wants to meet with Inspector Yin." Tan Youshan didn't say anything, Qian Mazi said immediately.
The armor soldiers who protect the outer circle of Gongyuan all know the government officials. If the prefect is in the government during normal times, they can go anywhere, including the governor's palace.
But now the situation is special. It is the tribute courtyard where the gate has not been opened. A ninth-grade official looked at the person in the oxcart under the fire. It was indeed the prefect. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly. What should I do?
Even so, the ninth-rank official still said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me and let me go and report to Supervisor Yin."
"Go ahead, this is my note!"
The prefect Liao Qingge did not take it seriously, which was very normal. Gao Yaochen was even more relaxed. He had already passed on the news. The young marquis and Eunuch Zhao had already settled in, so he was not afraid at all.
It was already midnight on the third day. Seeing that the candles were basically extinguished, Yin Xiujie secretly breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: "Retract the scroll!"
According to the rules of the court, if you give three candles, you can unwind them at night when the candles are extinguished. Now is the time to unwind.
"Yes!" The officers, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately prepared to collect the papers. These would be handed over to the collection office, sealing office, and transcription office behind the Mingyuan Building. The procedures were very strict.
As for the candidates, as soon as the first ray of sunshine comes out tomorrow, they can open the camp gate and let them out, and most of the work will be done.
Inspector Zhao was an eunuch who was close to the emperor, and this time he suddenly came in with a token of my presence. Yin Xiujie said she was not surprised, but in the end she did not interfere and just watched with cold eyes.
In addition to Gu Wenfu, the deputy examiner who supervises the collection of papers is Bai Hongzhi, who comes from a poor family, has an upright and strong temperament, and does not rub dirt in his eyes. Today, he is the deputy examiner of Qiuwei, a province, and he is still working hard and not slacking off at all. Chat with others and do nothing else.
As soon as the ninth grade official came in, the three of them looked at him at the same time.
"What, what happened?" Yin Xiujie asked in a deep voice. He had a good attitude towards his subordinates, but when it came to official duties, he was often very strict. This military attache was specially protecting Gongyuan, why did he come in?
"Master Yin, Master Liao, the prefect, is outside and wants to see you. This is the note he brought in. Please take a look at it." The officer respectfully handed over the note in his hand.
"Why does Lord Liao want me to see you?" Yin Xiujie felt strange, but after all, he was the chief official of a palace and had to be given some face. He immediately took the note and was sure it was Liao Qingge's handwriting. The seal below was even more correct. He was startled, and then After reading the contents of the note, his face darkened.
"Fraud? There is real fraud and it will never be tolerated!"
There were candidates in front who acted like crazy and were immediately dragged out, let alone if someone was found to be cheating? This is a big deal! If found out, he will be revoked on the spot!
Yin Xiujie handed the note to the deputy examiner. They had the right to know this and ordered: "Please invite Mr. Liao to come in."
"Su Ziji?" Seeing the military attache retreating, Bai Hongzhi took the note, suppressed his smile, took a serious look, and immediately said: "Check which dormitory Su Ziji is in, Mr. Yin and I will go there immediately .”
Once there is fraud, Mr. Yin and I are the chief and deputy examiners here, and we will never be able to escape the relationship.
It was just a short time before the autumn palace could be completed smoothly and we could go back in glory, but this happened. Not to mention Yin Xiujie, even Bai Hongzhi and Gu Wenfu didn't know this. Su Ziji, as well as those who reported the fraud outside, developed a strong feeling of disgust.
This is a major event that will cost the lives of officials such as myself!
After a while, Liao Qingge, Gao Yaochen, Tan Youshan and others came in, and they were not surprised to see three examiners with livid faces.
House number
Su Ziji folded the roll neatly and waited for it to be rolled up, but it was a little strange. Although there were dark spots on the roll, nothing changed.
"Hey, it seems I can't sleep." Not just others, but even myself, after three days of exams, I couldn't sleep. I had to close my eyes and rest, waiting for the final submission.
At this time, his eyes were drooping. Although there was no candle and it was dim, half of the red sandalwood shadow was still clearly floating in the field of vision: "The host has gained enlightenment. The Four Books and Five Classics will increase 8100 experience points."
"Four Books and Five Classics Level 12, 8183/12000"
"I gained 8,100 experience points in one breath. It seems that I did realize it right, although it is not enough to advance to another level." Su Ziji said thoughtfully.
"Yes, for novels, the essence is to incite readers' emotions, but for imperial examinations, control is more important."
So what about the flower group and beautiful show created by the article?
Exposed emotions and overflowing talents, this means immaturity for the imperial examination essay. The imperial examination is for being an official, and what is needed is control. Control your emotions and principles, hide them in the text, and not express them. The so-called Li Zhen Wen Lao.
Every student chosen by the examiner will be a disciple in the future. If he cannot control his emotions, he will easily get into trouble in the officialdom, so he cannot be chosen.
Just when Su Ziji was thinking about it, he suddenly heard chaotic footsteps approaching from far away. Su Ziji opened his eyes and met a pair of sharp and scrutinizing eyes.
The cunning person in your imagination, so young and handsome? Yin Xiujie was slightly startled, and her original disgust was gone.
Because of this, he was quite gentle when he spoke: "Are you Su Ziji?"
Su Ziji saw that this posture was wrong and quickly stood up and bowed: "The student is Su Ziji."
Being able to come and go freely in a place like this, and being able to talk here, it goes without saying that he must be an official, maybe even the examiner of this provincial examination. Su Ziji calls himself a student, so there is no problem with the title.
Yin Xiujie said calmly: "Did you know that someone reported you for fraud?"
"Absurd!" Su Ziji was startled. He glanced at the few officials behind him and saw Tan Youshan, the only person he knew. With a hint of anger on his face, he said decisively: "Who is slandering the students? There is no cheating on the students." , willing to confront him!"
