Chapter 47: The Mystery Seller
I don't know when, the surroundings were silent, and Shi Jin also put down his cold face and put down the spoon. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
There are only a few wontons left in the bowl, and the words on the bottom of the bowl are also prominently displayed.
"Spring exam questions, a thousand taels of silver."
The words are red, and they stand out in the white ravioli, but for some reason, after half a cup of tea, the handwriting slowly fades and then disappears.
In this way, the bright red characters disappear directly into the soup, which makes the people who almost finish eating the wontons almost nauseous, which is supposed to be a special pigment that disappears when it encounters air.
Looking at the few tribute students who had just chatted happily around were silent, and there were three or four idlers who didn't know what was going on, they quietly looked at the tense atmosphere around them, swallowed the rest of the wontons in one gulp, put down the bowl, threw down a few coppers and left in a panic.
It seems that this "bowl" is still served by people, Shi Jin squinted at the middle-aged couple who had been busy on the side, as if he didn't know anything.
She also learned from Rong Jing, looking at the bowl with a "heavy" face, and at the same time thinking in her heart, such an obscure method could not be made by Rong Xuan, it should be Wei Yuan.
This old fox is cunning and ruthless, and a bowl without evidence can not be pointed out on his head, and with this trick, he has both wealth and people.
However, even if he is as powerful as Prime Minister Wei Yuan, it does not mean that he can touch the test questions, and there must be someone else who steals the test questions.
This person must be able to access the Chunyu exam questions, the position cannot be too high, it is best to have a scapegoat on his head, and it is difficult to suspect him if something happens.
Every year, there are three chief examiners, nine repeat examiners, more than a dozen invigilators, dozens of miscellaneous servants, and there are as many as 100 people who can access the exam questions.
But in Tanglin, leaking the exam questions without permission is a big crime enough to enter the prison, and the light ones are never allowed to participate in the scientific examination, and the heavy ones are killed by the nine clans.
The imperial examination is the only way for the children of the poor family to soar, and if they can't participate forever, the family will never be able to raise their heads.
Ordinary people rarely get involved in such a thing, and even if they are participants, they are cautious and cautious, how can this seemingly honest couple be so blatant?
After a heavy silence, it was still the chatter that Huang Fei was the first to speak, breaking the strange silence.
