"This... this answer sheet, why don't the five of you take a look at it yourself?"
Hearing Lao Si Li's words, everyone's expressions changed significantly. It should be noted that although this marking officer is not high in cultivation, he has a profound accumulation of knowledge.
Several Si Li representatives may not dare to speak out, and there is no pressure to mark a group of freshmen's papers at such a level.
But now the other party is asking them to review the details together... There is only one possibility, that is, the answer to the test paper makes the old man unsure.
"Let me take a look." The director of the Huo Yuan, who had a hot temper and was as fierce as fire, walked over and grabbed it, and said in surprise:
"Hey, that's interesting. It's actually the answer to the last big question? No wonder you can't figure it out, old man. It seems like this little guy's idea has merit."
As he spoke, he quickly glanced at the roll, then his expression was visibly stunned and shocked, and he cursed angrily:
"What nonsense! What nonsense!"
But while his mouth was saying this, his eyes were honestly following the words and reading downwards. Then the curses became smaller and smaller and gradually disappeared, replaced by his increasingly heavy breathing and hands with bulging veins.
This appearance made others more and more confused, even Jian Zhuang came over.
After a long time, Huo Yuan Si Li said with a solemn expression: "You all should take a look."
Shuiyuan Secretary Li raised his eyebrows, took it without hesitation, and started reading...
Not long after, this paper was passed to the hands of Muyuan and Tuyuan Si Li.
When it was transferred to Pei Sili and finished reading, the face of Li Guofeng's number one Ma Zai became extremely solemn.
He said solemnly: "I must give this paper to Supervisor Li for judgment."
The rest of the people had no objections. After all, the person who asked the question was Li Guofeng. Even... several people, led by Huo Yuan Si Li, had a faint expression of malicious excitement on their faces, as if they wanted to see Li Guofeng's expression after reading the test paper.
Jian Zhuang finally couldn't help it anymore and said, "My lords, what's the difference in this paper?"
Pei Sili looked at him and explained with a wry smile:
"I can't say... Well, the front of this test paper is blank and there are no answers at all. This student only answered the last question."
Jian Zhuang was stunned, could this be still the case?
At the same time, he was vaguely aware of something and asked in anticipation: "Is it possible... that he has solved it?"
The words were spoken with a skeptical tone. After all, he had seen the question and knew what kind of conduct it was...
Pei Sili was silent for a moment and said, "It's not yet certain whether the solution has been solved, because..."
The old Si Li next to him grabbed the goat's beard and added:
"Because according to this student, this question was fundamentally wrong. Well, what he originally said was that the person who asked the question was too stupid, and he corrected the other party's mistake."
Ga——
As soon as these words came out, the rest of the people in the room who were still stretching their necks and looking curious were dumbfounded. Over the years of marking papers, they have never seen full-scoring test papers, but this is what they see in front of them:
It is unheard of to hand in most of the blank paper and write a thousand words to help the question maker correct it...
Some people subconsciously wanted to scold him for being "arrogant", but they held back because they quickly realized that if what was said on the paper was really ridiculous, these officials would never be so solemn.
Unless... what the other person wrote is correct...
"So, Supervisor Li was at fault?" Someone murmured.
Immediately, someone suddenly said: "Pei Sili, can you reveal the name before taking it away to see who is so bold?"
As soon as the words came out, everyone remembered this. Anyway, this paper was difficult to judge according to common sense. It was going to be handed over to the prisoner for personal review, so there was no need to conceal the name.
Pei Sili thought about it for a while, but did not refuse. He nodded and opened his name in public. However, when everyone saw the candidate's name clearly, all the curious faces turned dull.
Jian Zhuang stared at those three words as if he had been struck by lightning, as if he had seen something incredible:
"Ji...Ji Ping'an?!"
…
…
In the center of the building where the Golden Courtyard is located, there is a teahouse, which is also where the prisoner Bai Chang lives.
"Tea, please."
The boy carefully held the mahogany tray and placed the two blue and white tea bowls in the corresponding positions. Then he stepped back respectfully and stood in the corner with a low eyebrow.
Today, we welcomed a distinguished guest here.
"I have long heard that Li Jianhou is a master of tea ceremony and has a private collection. The first product today is indeed true. This Qingfeng Maojian is well-deserved, and it is three points better than the tribute tea."
Gao Mingjing, who was wearing a large robe and looked only in his thirties, with long silver hair hanging loose behind him, praised with a smile.
Opposite me, the handsome Li Guofeng smiled and shook his head: "Brother Ming Jing is ridiculous. If we talk about such elegant things, if Mo Lin is second, who in the world dares to be first?"
On the surface, there is business talk, but in reality there is a hidden agenda behind the words.
Qin Tianjian and Mo Lin had a normal relationship. They had frequent exchanges with each other during the Great Zhou Dynasty's lifetime, but they had become less popular in the past ten years.
This time Gao Mingjing came to the capital of the gods. He first visited the imperial palace, then visited the Taoist sect, and today he finally visited the Qintian Prison.
What's the purpose... In addition to etiquette, there is also a bit of temptation.
The Shendu Grand Prize was only a few months away. If Mo Lin wanted to improve his ranking, it was necessary to get a feel for his competitors.
The two chatted for a while and finally got to the point.
Gao Mingjing put down the tea cup and made some insidious remarks:
"I haven't been to the Divine Capital for a long time. I heard a lot of new things this time. I heard that among the young disciples of Qintian, there is an outstanding female disciple named... Luo Huaizhu? I wonder if she is in prison?"
Li Guofeng said with a smile: "Brother Mingjing is just joking. He just has some talent and won't catch Mo Lin's eyes. Besides, Huaizhu went out for training a few days ago and is not in prison."
Real or fake... Gao Mingjing was doubtful, with a look of regret on his face: "That's it... By the way, I learned when I came over that today's freshman Si Chen is taking the monthly exam. Are the results out?"
The shameless old thief... he clearly came here at the right time to find out... Li Guofeng's smile did not fade and he glanced at the sky: "Look at the time, it's almost time."
As soon as he finished speaking, there were hurried footsteps outside the door. Pei Sili, dressed in black, hurried upstairs with a roll of paper in his hand. He was slightly startled when he saw the scene inside.
Li Guofeng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "But the monthly exam list is out?"
Pei Sili took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and said calmly:
"Report to the Lord Supervisor, the list will be out later, but there is a paper here. I can't judge it, so I ask the Lord Supervisor to review it."
"Oh?" Li Guofeng was slightly surprised, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes stretched, "Bring it to me and see."
Gao Mingjing, who was opposite the tea table, was very curious, but he couldn't take a peek out of politeness. Moreover, the star official system was very different from that of Mo Lin, and he couldn't understand it either...
So, he just stared at Li Guofeng's face, trying to tell something from his micro-expressions.
Li Guofeng took the test paper and unfolded it, his eyes lowered. When he saw the answer to the last big question, he raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile:
"Oh, could it be that some student has unlocked it?"
Pei Sili said nothing.
Li Guofeng continued to look down, and immediately his smile froze, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he stared at the answer on the paper without speaking for a long time.
In the end, Gao Mingjing couldn't bear his curiosity and said: "Prince Li Jianhou..."
Li Guofeng came back to his senses in a daze, smiled, and said with his usual expression: "This student's problem-solving ideas are quite... interesting. I was immersed in it without knowing it, which made Brother Ming Jing laugh."
After saying that, Li Jianhou, who was wearing a white official robe, stood up and said, "Please sit here for a while. I will talk to Brother Dao after I deal with this matter."
"Excuse me." Gao Mingjing said, and suddenly asked: "I just don't know which student's handiwork alerted the eunuch to go there in person."
Li Guofeng was silent for a moment, then uttered a name:
"Ji Ping'an."
…
Outside the examination hall, it was noon and the sun was shining brightly.
When Ji Pingan walked out of the examination room with his book box, he saw Huang He holding an umbrella and waiting anxiously.
When I saw him coming out, my eyes lit up. I quickly opened my umbrella to block him from the sun and said, "Young master, you have figured it out. How did you do on the question?"
"It's okay." Ji Ping'an said casually, "I'm hungry, so go back and eat first."
"Aren't you waiting for the results to be released?"
"No wait."
Watching the master and servant leave together, a group of Si Chen outside the hospital shook their heads and sighed, because they knew that the test papers would be reviewed at any time and the results would be released soon after the monthly exam ended.
So although most Si Chen were hungry, they still waited outside under the sun, wanting to see the results as soon as possible.
"I'm afraid Brother Ji didn't do well in the exam, so he left early." Shi Jilun sighed softly.
This is what everyone thinks, but we are all classmates. Of course, no one can come and ridicule him at this time.
While waiting anxiously, someone suddenly screamed, and a bright golden light from the building in the distance cut through the clear sky like a meteor, and rushed in front of everyone in the blink of an eye.
The golden light suddenly dispersed, and Li Guofeng, who was mastering the "Golden Light Escape Technique", walked out gracefully, his sharp eyes swept across the crowd, and he said in a deep voice:
"Where is Ji Ping'an?"
