Volume 2 Jinghua Fengyun (II) Chapter 92 The Case of Scientific Expedition (I)
Lu Chengfeng looked at the rows and rows of dense ant-sized answers, and his hairs were about to explode.
Suddenly raised his eyebrows, shouted, and asked:
"Where did this question come from? How did you find out? ”
The middle-aged man's heart was already beating wildly, and he was so frightened by Lu Chengfeng's thunderous drink that he was so frightened that he hurriedly fell to the ground and cried out for injustice.
Seeing this, Lu Chengfeng's throat and eyes suddenly became as disgusting as if someone had stuffed a fly, turned his face away, put his hands behind his back, and instructed the officials:
"Shut his mouth first! Don't let this daring fanatic disturb the silence of the exam room! What's more, let him startle the snake with this move! ”
"Yes!" The pawns quickly blocked the middle-aged candidate's big mouth with their hands and feet.
The leading officer was not enough, so he ordered someone to kick open an official boot under his feet, take off a sock, and stuff it into the mouth of the middle-aged candidate, blocking it tightly!
Lu Chengfeng secretly laughed in his heart, this is sour! It's got an inner taste!
He forced a smile, braked the car after a sharp turn of one hundred and eighty degrees in his heart, and ordered in a serious manner:
"Hurry up and report to the chief examiner, Mr. Xu, and the deputy chief examiner, Lu Chengfeng, requests that the exam be terminated, and all the candidates will be cleared to the side of the Longmen inspection office in the Gong Academy, and all the rooms in the Gong Yuan will be checked one by one! Please give an order immediately! Above! ”
"Yes! Vice-examiner! ”
The officials responded to the call.
After a while, Scholar Xu really gave an order, and the horn sounded in the Gongyuan, with a chill of slaughter!
More than 70 candidates from all over the country were driven by the soldiers to the inspection queue on the side of the dragon gate in the Gongyuan Courtyard, and they were all in a mess, panicked and at a loss.
Lu Chengfeng finally caught a glimpse of his eldest brother Wu Jingmo in the chaotic sea of people.
He still has a calm face like a mountain, with an aura like the sun and the moon, and he doesn't talk to the gossiping candidates around him, just standing there quietly, like a fluttering jade tree standing in the wind.
Lu Chengfeng wanted to cast a comprehensible smile at him, but he was afraid of being accused of being biased, so he had to quickly drift his gaze away and look into the depths of the crowd farther away.
In the corner deep in the crowd, there was a boy in a black shirt, a person
Standing with his back to everyone, his thin back did not seem lonely, but he had a calm and relaxed self-confidence and atmosphere that I had to kill a hundred flowers.
For some reason, Lu Chengfeng always felt that the person's back was a little familiar, but he never saw the person turn around and let him see clearly.
Lu Chengfeng raised his neck and looked, but he couldn't suppress his sudden curiosity, and tried to take a step around the crowd to turn the man's face back.
At this moment, Old Master Xu's voice sounded hoarse and powerful in his ears:
"Let them all wait here for the end. Leave half of the people here to maintain order in the examination room, and the other half of the people, each responsible for a district, enter the number room, and be sure to search carefully to the end! And you, the two of you, are responsible for collecting all the candidates' answer sheets together! ”
Hearing that Old Master Xu personally gave orders as the chief examiner, Lu Chengfeng hurriedly roared and added:
"Leave another team of people and re-search the candidates' baggage and bags at the dragon gate! That's it! They're all busy! Act now! Fast! ”
"Yes! My lord! ”
All the officials were assembled, and immediately after receiving the order, they scattered in all directions, and launched a swift action with the momentum of thunder!
In a few moments, more than 70 examination papers of all the candidates of the Quangong Academy have been neatly stacked on the table in the hall where the examiner is located.
The search continues in full swing.
Old Master Xu sat down a few days after the case, and made a "please" gesture to Lu Chengfeng, motioning for him to sit down together.
The chief examiner, Lord Xu Mengzhang, and the deputy chief examiner, Lord Lu Chengfeng, jointly reviewed the exam papers, and started!
After all, Lu Chengfeng was a bank clerk in the 21st century in his previous life, and the habit of counting money could not be changed.
Thanks to his damn professional habits, he checked it so lightly and counted it out:
The number of papers in this exam is wrong!
The number of houses in the Dajingguo Tribute Courtyard has been a total of 77 rooms since ancient times.
The reason why it is seventy-seven, rather than other numbers, is taken from the feudal superstition of "seven up and eight down". Seven, seventy-seven is up.
Therefore, the seventy-seven rooms mean that there are a total of seventy-seven candidates, seeking an auspicious celebration for the Dajing Imperial Examination and also asking for a candidate for the Dajing Imperial Examination
Good luck.
Lu Chengfeng noticed a trace of abnormality in his heart, and counted back and forth three times, and indeed there were not seventy-seven exam papers, but seventy-six! One less copy!
He was suddenly shocked, and thought: In this Gongyuan Academy, which is sealed like an iron bucket and cannot be pierced by needles and cannot be splashed by water, could it be that there are still small officials or pawns who dare to cooperate with the candidates, and they should cooperate with the outside world? What a thief!
So, Lu Chengfeng thundered and was furious, slapped the table, roared, and asked:
"Someone! Who was the pawn who cleaned up the exam papers just now? Hurry up and bring him to me! ”
The little official who came forward to answer the words replied with a frightened face, slurred his speech, and trembled:
"Positive, just small, small! No, I don't know what went wrong, what went wrong, what went wrong? ”
"You're so daring! Is it a bribe from a candidate? Dare to help someone hide the exam papers! Don't hurry up and recruit from the truth! ”
Lu Chengfeng was furious, and the righteous pointed at the little official's nose and scolded.
"Small injustice! None of this, my lord! What a small wrong! ”
The little official's face turned pale, and he kept shouting injustice while kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.
"His Royal Highness may be wrong to blame him, there are indeed only seventy-six exam papers today. Because, there is a candidate who did not come to the exam on time. According to the practice of our dynasty, it will be punished by giving up the qualification for the examination. ”
Seeing Lu Chengfeng's excited appearance, Old Master Xu suddenly reacted, stroked his long beard, smiled slightly, and explained to the officials.
"Oh? Someone dropped out of the test? Why didn't you listen to the report of the pawns when you passed the dragon gate just now? ”
Lu Chengfeng tightened his eyebrows and asked suspiciously.
Old Master Xu paused leisurely, and his indifferent attitude seemed to be between his applause.
Lu Chengfeng's curiosity was hooked again, and his eyes were full of surprise, and he asked:
"When the late student looks at Scholar Xu, it seems that he knows what the situation is?"
Old Master Xu laughed, glanced at the road and rode the wind, his eyes were sharp, and said:
"Not only do I know who the son of the abandonment test is, but I also know the reason and allusion behind the scenes, but His Royal Highness himself knows it to me! Hahahaha......"
Lu Chengfeng suddenly realized:
The person who gave up the exam was none other than Tang Zhongyong, the son of former Prime Minister Tang Yuanzhi!
