Chunfu is the most important examination for the annual selection of talents in the entire Liang Dynasty, there are a lot of children from the poor family selected in the spring, naturally, many Gaomen children also want to take advantage of the spring to get a good score, get the favor of the saints, the students who participate in the exam are mixed, naturally there are those who are dedicated to learning and studying, but there are also many people with ulterior motives who secretly harbor ghosts.

Since Chun Yu is the most important examination selection of the entire Great Liang Dynasty of the year, the Holy Lord will naturally send his most powerful backbone to invigilate the examination.

Since the examiners are divided into two chief invigilators and several other coerced invigilators, and they are generally served by several ministers with similar positions, it is natural that the Holy Wisdom will not recognize the ministers of the same faction, and even some ministers who are hostile to each other will become the examiners who jointly invigilate the exam.

This is also to prevent the invigilator from being bribed by friends and relatives to release water for the candidates, and even assist in the occurrence of such bad incidents as cheating.

The spring season came to an end, but at the same time, a lot of pickled things naturally happened.

In the middle of Bai Shangshu's mansion late at night, a young guest wearing a black cloak hurriedly walked into Bai Shangshu's study.

"Cousin, save me!"

As soon as he entered the door of the study, without waiting for Bai Shangshu to react, the man knelt in front of Bai Shangshu with a thud.

"What are you doing here?" Bai Shangshu panicked and hurriedly got up to help the man up.

This person is Bai Yizhi, who can be regarded as Bai Shangshu's cousin.

Bai Shangshu was not the invigilator this time, but he also heard that someone cheated in the examination room and was caught red-handed by several invigilators.

It's just that now his cousin appears in his study. is still dressed so weirdly, he is not the one who was caught cheating.

It's not right to think about it, hasn't this cheater already been imprisoned?

"Cousin, please save me!"

"Don't worry, sit down and tell me what happened."

Bai Shangshu helped Bai Yizhi sit down and poured him a cup of tea, Bai Yizhi raised his head and drank it, then calmed down a lot, and told Bai Shangshu everything about the matter.

"A few days ago, I went to Beijing to take the entrance examination in the capital, and I didn't want to trouble my cousin, so I found an inn to live in first. Xu An resigned as a talent for foreign trade Zhou Zhengyi, and at a glance he knew that he was a child of a good family. Do things in a measured way, and soon become close friends with him. ”

Until the day before the spring festival. At night, when he was about to lie down, Xu An knocked on his door, hurriedly walked in, turned around and sneakily closed the door and sat at the table.

"Brother Bai, do you guess I brought something good?"

He didn't know at that time that what Xu An brought was a cheating article.

Since ancient times, there will be cheating in exams, and the so-called right policies and countermeasures have been taken, no matter how strict the system established by the imperial court, no matter how difficult the conditions during the examination are, and how sharp the examiner's eyes are. Some candidates with ulterior motives will always come up with all kinds of ways to cheat, this Xu An is when he was drinking flower wine in the building, he got acquainted with a famous disciple of the court, and bought the leaked article of the so-called exam questions from this famous disciple with a lot of money.

Xu An's family is well-off, and it is not difficult to spend thousands of taels of silver to buy a leaked article, but the bad thing is that Xu An looks very shrewd on the surface, but in fact he is a fool, and the words of the second ancestor who drank flower wine in Suwen Building, he can even believe that this leaked exam article is indeed true. This year's exam questions were leaked, but they were not covered up tightly, and they were soon found out by the invigilator.

The invigilator sells the questions through the famous children. Soon caught a few candidates who bought it, and now this Xu An has been detained by the Criminal Department and taken to interrogate, the Criminal Department has always been unambiguous in its punishment, originally this matter had nothing to do with him, but the bad thing is that Xu An is very righteous. The night I got the exam questions, I sneaked into his room and shared the content of the exam questions with him.

"Have you ever seen that question?" Bai Shangshu asked with a frown.

In the middle of the spring, the students who take the exam cheat is simply a slap in the face of the saint, and the saint's temper will never be tolerated, whether it is the person who sells the question or the person who buys the question, or even the person who knows the content of the missing question.

"I, I ......"

When Bai Shangshu saw Bai Yizhi's hesitant appearance, he knew that he must have seen it, not only seen it, but even read it well.

How could he not look at it, the question of the exam is right in front of him, as long as he takes a look, he can guarantee that his score will definitely pass the top twenty or even the top ten, and then he will have a red name, even if it is a small fame, with the power of their Bai family, he will definitely be able to mix with an official and a half-job.

If a person is not a sage, how can he really be without desires and desires, and no one can turn a deaf ear to such a temptation when he is placed in front of him.

"So how did you write your article? Is there any mention of the content of the leaked article? ”

If it is not mentioned. At that time, he said that he had not read the article, and the people in Xingbu could not grasp the handle, so the matter was naturally closed.

But if he mentioned the content of this article at the time, then even if he was a scholar, he couldn't save him.

"I, I ......"

He did mention that the article was shocking and quoted from the classics, and just quoting one and a half sentences of it could sublimate his entire article.

He originally wanted to just quote a half-sentence classic statement anyway, which was what his predecessors said, and they had all memorized it, even if it was seen by the invigilator, several people had the same sentence on their papers, and they wouldn't think much about it.

But now that the leak has been exposed, even an ordinary sentence quoting scriptures and classics will bring him death.

Chun Yu cheated, this is the most hated thing by the saint, the punishment is quite severe, Xu An is not a steel and iron backbone, he was really beaten to death by the people of the Criminal Department, and he will definitely confess him.

"You bastard, how can you quote half a sentence in this leaking article? Do you think that our Bai family has been an official in the court for too long, and you want our Bai family to collectively resign and return to their hometowns? "Bai Shangshu hates iron and steel, and now I am afraid that it will inevitably involve the Bai family.

In the past few days, he has been disturbed by the smelting of copper and iron weapons, and he is very annoyed and anxious, and the saint is already suspicious of their Bai family, so this time Chunyu did not let him be an invigilator, and he originally waited until the practice of weapons passed. Now, this has happened again.
