"We'll talk about it later. The reporter said that you were involved. Since you were honest, you asked people to search for you." After Yin Xiujie finished speaking, he paused: "Don't worry, if it is really slander, I will give you an explanation! "
By this time, almost everyone had finished answering questions and were waiting to collect their papers. When they heard this, they all wanted to watch the excitement. The nearby candidates could see this and stretched their necks to look around. Those who couldn't see it also listened. With.
Su Ziji's heart sank, and he took a deep look at Tan Youshan: "Please."
"You are dead!" Tan Youshan just sneered and thought to himself.
He is now a husband, and he is very aware of the examination room in Gongyuan. It has been closed for a long time and is only cleaned every three years during the examination.
There were historical records in the previous dynasty that when candidates entered the dormitory, there were spider webs everywhere and they had to clean them themselves.
This dynasty was newly opened, and they paid great attention to civility, so they did not fall to this level. They even had people clean and replace the bricks with new ones to prevent it from raining and leaving mud under their feet.
It is difficult for candidates to cheat on their own. If the numbers are drawn, no one knows where they will be assigned. But it is quite easy to slander them. No matter whether they are old or new bricks, as long as there is a piece of paper hidden under each number. .
In fact, in the first two months, I climbed over the wall and there was no one around. Although I was a little tired, I finished it in two hours. It is easy to hide one in a dormitory. If you want to check, there are thousands of examination sheds, walls and underground, millions of bricks, it is impossible to check them one by one.
"Now let's see how you die!"
As long as Su Ziji is revoked, there will be no escape from the murder case.
Su Ziji walked out in one step and allowed two officers to search him in public. Two more officers entered the dormitory to check.
Not sure what was going on, Su Ziji's eyelids twitched suddenly and he couldn't help but frown.
"I didn't commit any fraud, so why do I suddenly feel uneasy, as if something is about to happen?"
"Could it be that someone is harming me and setting a trap?"
Just when Su Ziji was thinking this, the guard in the cell who had been informed by Tan Youshan in advance opened a brick and exclaimed: "Sir, there are several notes buried here!"
"Oh?" Yin Xiujie, whose expression was not too ugly, immediately frowned. She originally thought that Su Ziji might be unjust, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a piece of shit!
What was even more irritating was that he had actually been deceived by the mud just now. Thinking of this, Yin Xiujie's anger became even more intense.
"Su Ziji, the physical evidence is here, do you still dare to say that there was no fraud?"
After reading it first, although the paper on it did not match the test questions at all, the court rules stipulated that anyone who was caught in the trap would be guilty. Throwing these pieces of paper full of small handwriting at Su Ziji's feet, Yin Xiujie's face was covered with frost. .
Someone is really cheating! The candidates who listened to the movement or looked here were all surprised.
If such a commotion could be made, someone might report it and the people in the examination room would find out. But what if no one reports it? Did this candidate just get away with it?
"Stop making noise!" Hearing someone in the dormitory making a surprised sound, Yin Xiujie shouted. Under the authority of the official, everyone was silenced.
"Now that the evidence is conclusive, Su Ziji, your reputation as a scholar..." After scolding the candidates, Yin Xiujie turned dark, and was about to revoke Su Ziji's reputation on the spot, and then expel him. In the middle of his sentence, he suddenly heard A burst of laughter.
"Hahahaha! Interesting, interesting! Mr. Yin, our family has heard that you have a bad personality. Unexpectedly, your temper is even worse than the legend. If it concerns a person's future, we should check the details further. Which one is better, but don’t jump to conclusions!”
The voice is quite pleasant, the words are clear and round, with a bit of a high pitch.
It was so representative that even Gu Wenfu, who had remained silent, immediately guessed the identity of the visitor.
After hearing the sound, it turned out that the person coming over was a middle-aged man with a fair face and no beard, who was an acquaintance.
"Eunuch Zhao!"
"Supervisor Zhao, what do you mean?" Unlike Gu Wenfu who just said hello, Yin Xiujie frowned and asked without giving him face even if he recognized the person.
Eunuch Zhao was not angry and came over with a smile: "Master Yin, how about you listen to our family first?"
Although Yin Xiujie didn't want to listen, she still had to worry about Eunuch Zhao's identity. If she was in the capital, it would be fine if she lost face. But outside, especially if there was an order from me to come in person, it meant that the emperor was coming in person, so it was hard to refuse directly.
"This is a provincial examination matter. I wonder what Inspector Zhao is going to say?" Yin Xiujie's tone was a little harsh because she was in a bad mood.
Others were shocked when they saw the middle-aged man appear. They didn't recognize or guess his identity. When they heard the title of the chief and deputy examiner, they understood immediately.
This is a eunuch!
Judging from Master Yin's angry expression and still holding back, this eunuch is afraid that he has a lot of background in the palace.
Everyone couldn't help but use the corners of their eyes to look at Su Ziji, who was being held down by two guardsmen, and thought to themselves: "Is this Su Ziji, with his hands and eyes reaching to the sky, hugging the thigh of the eunuch who came from the capital? If that's the case, why do you need to engage in such fraud? The means are too inferior."
"It's so insulting to gentlemen!"
But Tan Youshan was worried. Originally, Yin Xiujie was going to revoke Su Zi's status. He was from the husband's family and knew the officialdom too well.
As long as he was executed on the spot, unless it was "extremely necessary", or even if something was wrong afterward, Su Ziji would not be rehabilitated.
Now, he was stopped by a big eunuch who came suddenly.
"Why are there eunuchs in the Gongyuan, or such powerful eunuchs?" Tan Youshan felt his heart was so constricted that he could hardly breathe.
Gu Wenfu, who was standing on one side and made himself look transparent, couldn't help but cast a scrutinizing look at Su Ziji.
While watching, Su Ziji raised his eyes and glanced at each other. Their eyes met, and Gu Wenfu was startled.
wrong.
Gu Wenfu touched his chin and thought in confusion. Although his eyes were not infallible when seeing people, they could still be regarded as having some ability to recognize people. Looking at this candidate, his eyes were clear and his attitude was calm. Even if he was a little angry, he was not angry at all. How could fear and wretchedness be like a student who would commit such a thing as cheating?
He doesn't even look like a poor student.
At this time, Inspector Zhao was already facing Yin Xiujie's displeased stare, and slowly spoke again: "We just feel that using this so-called physical evidence to convict the candidates is a bit too hasty."
"After all, if the note is dug out from under the brick, how can we prove that it was the candidate who buried it, and not someone who was watching over it and setting it up first?"
"This..." These words really stopped Yin Xiujie.
Yin Xiujie is not a fool. When he saw the physical evidence just now, he was so angry that he wanted to expel Su Ziji and revoke his rank. He felt that Su Ziji looked handsome and had the shame of "how can a beautiful woman be a thief"? The uproar led to rage.
At this moment, Inspector Zhao had to admit that there was some truth in what he said.
If it were other officials, or if they heard this, they would insist on denying it, lest they find out that it was really the police officer in the examination room who did it and drag themselves down.
But although Yin Xiujie had a bad temper, he was indeed a gentleman. Realizing his mistake just now, he immediately frowned and fell into deep thought.
