More than a dozen government officials rushed in, standing on both sides with their swords pressed and listening to the orders. In an instant, everyone gradually became quiet, and the air was so tense that it was about to explode.
Zhang Modong stood on one side. At this moment, he knew who the two people who came in were. His heart suddenly thumped, and an unknown feeling filled his heart.
It was almost impossible to get out at this time. The Yamen's official stared at him, held his long knife in his hand, glanced over it, and covered the door. He had no choice but to shrink back as much as possible and slowly retreat into the corner.
The faces of these two officials were livid. It was definitely not a happy occasion to come here. Could it be related to selling test questions?
But is this possible?
Liang Yuyin usually behaves elegantly and is approachable, and is highly respected by scholars, but tonight his expression is very different from usual, with a livid face, he glances at Juren gloomily, and after a long while he says: "Dear friends, you are all scholars. Lift people.”
"Being able to win the exam shows that you not only have talent, but also work hard, and you can be said to have excelled through learning."
"Originally, the Beijing Examination is about jumping over the dragon's gate. If you can jump over it, you will be honoring your ancestors. I came here the same way. If I can't jump over it, it's because of bad luck. Come back next time."
"Even if he returns to his hometown and farm, he still retains his status as a gentry and is respected by the local people."
"But there are some people who don't know the favor of the country and have no sense of shame. They persecute me, Prince Shao Paulo, and Lord Yin Tan of Shuntian Prefecture. They have to come."
"The following matter is not a matter of the academy, but a matter of the Siwang Law. It is really heartbreaking." Liang Yuyin turned around and bowed: "Master Tan, please give me a lecture."
Hearing this, a gust of cold wind blew in, and Zhang Modong shivered.
"What Mr. Liang said just now is very good. You are all scholars who have been favored by the country for a long time." Tan Ping said with a livid face: "I didn't want to come to this step, but in order to uphold the national law, I have to do it."
"Who reported that someone leaked or sold the topic?"
As soon as these words came out, not only the others were stunned, Zhang Modong also had a look of surprise on his face. This was definitely not a lie!
At this moment, he even asked himself in confusion: "To know this and ask these questions, these two officials must be one of my own, right? But the time of the attack has been advanced. Did I remember it wrong?"
Impossible, that means the two officials remembered the wrong time. Can such things also remember the wrong time?
Why did you advance the time without saying hello?
However, since he is one of his own, he will not be asking anyone else. The governor of Shuntian Prefecture must be waiting for him to come out and answer. Maybe it is an emergency and there is no time to notify him of the temporary changes.
With Zhang Modong thinking like this, he was about to stand up and answer, but before he had time to answer, he heard someone in the crowd say loudly: "Sir, it's us!"
This voice sounds very familiar!
Many people looked towards the source of the sound. Zhang Modong immediately looked back and saw two people standing at the source of the sound. The speaker was none other than Yu Lu, and the word "we" refers to Yu Lu and Fang. I miss you two.
How could it be them!
Zhang Modong was so horrified that he took two steps back. Yin Tanping, the Shuntian Prefecture's face, was still ugly. It was even two points uglier than before because of someone's reply.
"What's your name?" Tan Ping said gloomily, his voice full of pressure, making everyone present tremble.
"Student Yu Lu, he is Fang Xi." Yu Lu couldn't help but trembled and answered in a trembling voice.
"Yu Lu, do you know that this is a huge event that affects the innocence, wealth and lives of countless people. If there is one mistake or omission in what you say, you will not only be dismissed from the job, but also deeply guilty!" Liang Yuyin spoke before Tanping spoke again. He spoke out with a serious look on his face, staring at the two of them like lightning.
This is actually the last and most important reminder to pretend that the two are Taisun's friends.
Only those who have been an official or a senior official know that government investigations can capture evidence and materials from many aspects. It doesn't matter if there are mistakes or omissions, but reports from superiors require iron-clad materials and evidence.
How many common people and low-level officials do not understand this truth, but they act smart and add fuel to the fire. As a result, the iron-clad material becomes stinky with just one addition, turning it into an unbelievable slander. Naturally, it is charged with libel and slander. crime, even the crime of picking quarrels and provoking trouble.
Anyone who has real experience in officialdom struggles will understand that, let alone adding fuel and jealousy, even the original materials have to be picked up bit by bit, and everything that cannot be proven irrefutable will be deleted by oneself.
Smarter people will obviously choose the most irrefutable, sensational, and rebellious evidence when there are ten true evidences of the crime. Once it is confirmed, the defendant will naturally cut off his golden body and turn it into a body to be punished. It's not too late for another attack.
It's not clear whether Yu Lu and Fang Xi understand it - as far as Liang Yuyin knows, some officials of the seventh rank don't understand this.
Yu Lu and Fang Xi were a little flustered, but they calmed down under Liang Yuyin's gaze.
They were not frightened by these words, because everything they said was true! And there is irrefutable proof!
In addition, if they had not been warned in advance and prepared in advance this time, even the family might have been implicated. The counterattack now was just to save themselves!
"Students dare to risk their lives, and all my reports are true!"
"Students dare to risk their lives!"
Yu Lu and Fang Xi spoke in unison. Yu Lu looked even more gloomy and pointed at Zhang Modong in the corner: "Sir, this Zhang Modong has the test questions from this spring. If you don't believe me, you can find out clearly by searching me. !”
"You!" Zhang Modong was pointed at and said by Yu Lu, and the hair on his hair stood up, his lips trembled, and he could hardly speak: "S-Sir! Unjust! Slander! This, this is slander!"
Liang Yuyin turned to look at Tanping. Tanping's face was livid, but he also knew that since he had come and asked about this matter in front of so many people, he got an answer that this matter must be dealt with to the end.
There was no hesitation at this time, and he immediately shouted: "Come here, take him down and search him!"
Everyone knows who this "him" is.
After giving the order, two detectives immediately pounced on him. Zhang Medong looked ugly and wanted to dodge, but was held down by the police and unable to move.
"I'm Juren..." Zhang Modong's head was in a mess at this moment, and he couldn't remember what he did with the note. He could only struggle and defend himself, trying to remind himself that he was Juren and a scholar with status!
How could the two policemen treat their identity as one thing after receiving orders from an adult?
But they were also measured. They just held him down and searched him, and did not deliberately humiliate or beat him. This was also done for the spectators to see.
At this moment, everyone was in an uproar, looking at Yu Lu, Fang Xi and Zhang Modong with uneasiness and disbelief.
If you didn't buy the question, if you didn't dare to speak loudly at this moment, you might be caught and asked.
What the hell is going on? Is someone really cheating?
Someone is really selling test questions. If the matter is found out, it will be a shocking case. Will I be implicated?
Will the Spring Festival continue this year?
Of course, these worries are trivial. No candidate would care less about this kind of fraud case. Many people believe that they have real talents and knowledge. Someone is really selling test questions. They haven't found out in advance. By then, they will only occupy their own quota!
Who knows if he might be the unlucky one and be squeezed out?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel indignant.
However, some Juren who also bought the questions had the opposite reaction. Their faces instantly turned pale, and some even had trembling hands and feet and looked at the Yamen involuntarily.
