When Shangguan Xuanyi walked back to the room, Xiao'er had already learned about the conversation between the two from Yang Liu.

In fact, there is such a thing as cheating in the imperial examination, there will be something in every imperial examination, depending on whether the cheating person is clever or not, and whether he will be caught.

This kind of thing can't be stopped, you have a good plan, those people have a wall ladder, there will always be a wall that others can climb over with a ladder.

However, most of the examiners who have been invigilated in recent years have chosen honest and honest people with high moral integrity, and the results of the imperial examination are not so high.

"Jing Hao is okay, right?" Xiao'er still asked.

"No, I guess someone put a little medicine on the meal that affects the work and rest. I've had people look it up. "That medicine is not a poison, and it can't be detected with a silver needle, it just makes people feel very sleepy when they shouldn't sleep, but they are extra energetic when they should sleep.

As soon as the effect of the medicine has passed, there is nothing left for the person.

"This time the cheating method is clever again! It is not to leak the question or carry a note or anything, but to improve their ranking by influencing the mental state of the learned people and making them play abnormally.

Most people think that when they go to a place like Gongyuan, they are not used to it for a while, and their work and rest are reversed, which is also normal, after all, the new environment is not adaptable. Some candidates from other places will even be unaccustomed to the water and soil when they come to the imperial capital, vomiting and diarrhea, many people will have these problems, and when you encounter them, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck!

Cheating in this way is much more clever than carrying a note, and even the student himself may not be suspicious. Xiao'er sighed.

"Could it be that the person who bought the examiner has good knowledge, but he is worried that he will not be able to get a higher ranking, so he will take the risk?" said Yang Mei when she heard this.

"It's also possible to see who benefits the most. Xiao'er replied.

Fortunately, Jing Hao is real gold and is not afraid of fire refining and can stand the test, but even if she can't withstand it, she has prepared a pill for him to remind him to wake up.

......

This matter was quickly found out, Jing Hao's intuition was right, and it was indeed Lord Lin who did it.

But he wasn't bribed by anyone, he just couldn't stand the huge temptation to get rich overnight.

Therefore, he did a little bit of tricks on Jing Hao's food, just hoping to affect his performance and let him not win the first place.

The reason is also very simple, his wife is a person who is addicted to gambling, and the odds of opening Jing Hao in the imperial examination gambling house this time is one thousand to one.

But no one wants to buy such high odds.

Lord Lin's wife moved her mind when she saw this, she secretly took all the family's savings to bet, and bought Jing Hao This time she couldn't win the first place.

Then she went home and told Master Lin about it, and asked him to put a little soothing medicine in Jing Hao's meal during the invigilation, which disrupted his routine and made him play abnormally.

When Lord Lin first learned the news, he was almost angry!

He has an old mother at home, who has to take medicine every day, and those savings are his mother's life-saving money!

Mrs. Lin said: "I know that those silver taels are the life-saving money of my mother's relatives to gamble, and the multiplier of one thousand is lost, if the second son of Shengping Houfu does not have Zhonghuiyuan, we will have more than 200,000 taels!

"More than 200,000 taels, you can't earn so much silver in your life!"

"We have more than 200,000 taels, so if you are not an official, you should not be right! We can still take this bit of silver to open shops in other places and do some business! How many people have opened workshops now, and they have made a lot of money! I have a sister who runs a tofu workshop at home, and those dried beans are sold to other states and counties, and now they wear gold and silver, and they have a lot better life than we do in that day!"

"You, an official, take a lot of money every month, just enough to spend, and your mother has to take medicine again, this life is too tight, if it weren't for the fact that there is a shop at home, and there is a little income, we would have eaten the northwest wind a long time ago!"

"Besides, didn't you say that in the examination room, there are often students who faint or vomit and diarrhea because of water and soil? You just give him some sedative medicine to make his work and rest time chaotic, which is also very common in the eyes of outsiders!

Lord Lin was affected by Mrs. Lin's words, and he thought about it before he did this kind of thing.

One loss of one thousand! His wife took more than 200 taels of cash in the family to buy Jing Hao could not win the yuan, if Jing Hao really could not win, they would be able to have 250,000 taels, which can be said to be rich overnight!

With these more than 200,000 taels, why worry about my mother's illness in the future, it will be a bottomless pit, and it will not be cured?

The temptation is just too great!

And Mrs. Lin has a sentence that is right, when he is this official, he will not earn more than 200,000 taels in his life, and with this more than 200,000 taels, it is not too important for him to be an official or not.

That day in the examination room, he saw the exam papers, this time the exam papers were very difficult, he saw that many people were frowning, many people may not have read such a partial wild history, but he saw that the second son of Shengping Hou looked confident, he thought that he must have read them all! This time he will take the exam, he will definitely be able to win the first place!

In this case, the family's savings of more than 200 taels will be wiped out at once! Now that my mother is sick, she has to use good medicine every day, and the family spends a lot of money, so she will have to save it for a few years before she can save it back!

He thought that even if he gave him a little calming medicine, he looked confident, and he would definitely be able to be admitted to the Gongshi, but the ranking would not be the first, as long as he could be admitted to the Gongshi, he could still take the palace test, and it would not affect him to get the champion.

Jing Hao will still be the champion in the future, and his life will not change much, but if he doesn't win the Huiyuan this time, his life will change dramatically.

He just didn't think that stealing chickens would not make rice, although those medicines had an impact on Jing Hao's work and rest, they must not have affected his answers, and he could complete the test papers well in only half a day every day!

What he didn't know was that Jing Hao was suspicious of this!

When Shangguan Xuanyi summoned him, a bad premonition rose in his heart, but he comforted himself that the exam papers had not been completed yet, and the results did not come out, and it was impossible for King Rui to find out that he had done it so quickly.

It's just that he has never done such a thing with a weak heart, Shangguan Xuanyi asked him to recruit him from the truth with a cold face, and he was so frightened that he immediately explained it clearly.

So Lord Lin lost his money this time and lost his official position!

It's not good to provoke anyone, but to provoke such a shrewd person, isn't this shooting yourself in the foot!
