This sentence immediately made Wei Chengmo's face look happy, and after being slightly stunned, he looked at Yao Gan in front of him with some suspicion, isn't he lying to me?

It's no wonder that Wei Langzhong is suspicious of Yao Gan, it is really that the stakes of these exam questions are too important, which inevitably makes him a little suspicious. And just now he also confirmed that the four book questions mentioned by the other party were not the same as the exam questions in his hand, which naturally made him start to wonder if the other party had deceived himself in order to get the exam questions.

Yao Gan also immediately understood what Wei Chengmo was thinking, and his face suddenly sank: "Although I, Yao Gan, am just a rough person, I can't do such a thing." This cabinet has indeed been touched earlier......"

Just as the two of them were staring at each other with big eyes, each suspicious, suddenly there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the house, and a few points of fire quickly moved towards this side. Then, the two of them heard a burst of human voices: "You said there was movement in this Minglun Hall?" But is it true? ”

"The little ones don't dare to hide it from the adults, there was indeed movement in this lobby just now...... Look, the lock on this door has been opened! As he spoke, a group of people had already arrived at the door, and the first person immediately pushed open the hidden door!

Inside the room, Wei Chengmo and Yao Gan were already so anxious that they were spinning around like ants on a hot pot, wanting to leave here before the people outside found out. It's a pity that this Minglun Hall has no other way out except for the main entrance and the two windows near the main entrance, and even a rear window has not been opened.

And before he could jump up and fly up to the beam of the room to hide, the door had been opened suddenly, and under the reflection of five or six torches and lanterns outside the door, the two of them were completely exposed to the eyes of this large group of people!

With an exclamation: "There are thieves!" Later, someone recognized the identities of the two of them, and even exclaimed: "Lord Wei, Yao Baihu, why are you here?" ”

The two stayed there completely, and Wei Chengmo's heart sank to the bottom, and he was caught on the spot, even if he jumped into the Yellow River this time, he couldn't wash it off. Immediately, he heard a cry that made him even more flustered: "Lord Wei, what are you holding in your hand?" ”

It was only then that he suddenly realized that he still had the exam question in his hand! In a panic, with a shake of his hand, the pieces of paper fell to the ground lightly.

At that moment, someone stepped forward and picked up the papers, and then exclaimed again: "It's an exam question!" How dare you two steal exam questions at this time! As soon as the words were uttered, there was an uproar, and a majestic voice immediately shouted: "Someone! Take down these two thieves who are guarding and stealing from themselves! ”

The successive changes made Wei Chengmo and the others completely unable to react, until more than a dozen soldiers with guns and knives rushed into the hall and surrounded them, and the two came back to their senses slightly, Wei Chengmo looked at the majestic old man who gave orders in front of him and said: "Lord Meng, please listen to the explanation!" "This person is the chief examiner in the examination room now, Meng Tingyue, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

"What else do you have to say?" Meng Tingyue stared at her subordinates with some sadness: "The old man thought that you were an upright person and a good courtesy, but I didn't want you to be so confused and do such a wrong thing that brought disaster to the country and the people!" ”

Being accused by him like this, Wei Chengmo's face turned even pale, and his chest was filled with fear and guilt, so that he couldn't speak for a while. Fortunately, Yao Gan on the side was already cold from the beginning

Calmed down and said on his behalf: "A few adults, the two of us broke the rules to come here to check the exam questions because we learned that the exam questions were leaked!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, some of the officials in front of him sneered: "I really didn't expect you to dare to say such an excuse." It's not like this when a thief shouts to catch a thief, it's clear that it's you who peeked at the test questions, and you dare to say it so justifiably! ”

"Lord Xu, it is true that Xia Guan and Yao Baihu took the risk of coming here to check because they were worried about the leakage ......of the exam questions," Wei Chengmo calmed down a little and explained.

Meng Tingyue glanced at him and said, "What about the result?" Can you find out if there is really a leak of exam questions? If things are as he says, there is room for things to turn around.

"This ......" Yao Gan told him that the exam questions were obviously different from those here, which made Wei Chengmo not know how to reply, could it be that telling the other party everything was just a misunderstanding?

And at this time, Lord Xu on the opposite side spoke again: "Master Meng, don't be deceived by his words, don't say that this exam question can't be leaked, even if there is such a thing, the two of them have been staying in this examination room like us, how can they know about the outside world?" ”

"yes, how did you two know that the exam questions had been leaked? Did you collude with people outside the exam room early in the morning? Meng Tingyue quickly understood, and stared at the two of them with more and more suspicion.

What does it mean to get darker and darker, that's it. Only then did the two realize that they were really at a loss for words, no matter what they said, the crime of breaking the rules and peeking at the exam questions could not be washed away.

Seeing that the two fell into silence, Lord Xu said again: "Lord Meng, now that this has happened, these questions will definitely not be used in this exam." The stakes are very high, and you have to show your majesty as soon as possible. Also, the words and deeds of the two of them are too strange, with the identities of the two of them, they obviously don't have such great courage, and there must be a master behind them, and the adults must not ignore it. ”

Meng Tingyue immediately accepted his statement and nodded: "What Lord Xu said is that the matter is serious, and this official can only make an exception to go out of the examination room to ask to see His Majesty." Also, who is the two of you instructing, don't you come quickly! ”

After hearing that Lord Xu's words, Yao Gan chuckled in his heart, knowing that things were already very bad. His identity is here, as long as others dig deeper, they can involve the problem on Lu Dudu, and then the matter will be big.

Wei Chengmo still insisted on saying: "Xiaguan is indeed out of a public heart, he has never thought of leaking the exam questions, it is really Jinyi Wei ......" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the vigilant Yao Gan——! ”

It's a pity that it was still a step too late, and Lord Xu immediately answered: "It turns out that all this is made by Jinyiwei behind his back!" Lord Meng, this matter must be truthfully told to Your Majesty. ”

Meng Tingyue nodded solemnly: "Don't say it's Jinyiwei, even those vassal kings, as long as they dare to disrupt my court's talents, this official must let them be punished as they deserve!" ”

"Xu Youzhen, you are slandering, we Jinyiwei have never had such an idea, let alone do such a thing!" Hearing that the other party had directly deducted the charge on Jin Yiwei, Yao Gan was really anxious, pointed at the speaker in front of him and shouted loudly, almost stepping forward to make a move. However, there were already a lot of soldiers around him who were pointing knives and guns at him, so he couldn't really get forward.

This one who has been talking to Meng Tingyue, and the two of them really intended to steal the exam questions, and intentionally led all this to Jinyiwei, it was the former Xu Hui and the current Xu Youzhen.

It is said that since he became the first to stand up and propose the abolition of the crown prince last year, Xu Youzhen's situation in the officialdom has improved greatly. This time, he was able to become one of the examiners, and it was the Son of Heaven himself, whose purpose was of course to give him more qualifications and credit, so that he could go further.

However, for him at this time, the qualifications of any invigilator are more important than being able to take this opportunity to pull Jin Yiwei, especially Lu Jin, into the spiral nest of peeking at the leaked exam questions. Because in this way, not only can he eliminate the hatred in his heart for many years - he still remembers the original incident clearly, it was Lu Zhen who suddenly jumped out to criticize and oppose, so that he became the laughing stock of Manchu officials, and he almost couldn't even be an official - but also greatly increased his prestige in the civil official group and laid a good foundation for his future career.

Because he had already seen that the Jinyi Wei had been in good shape recently, although the officials of the court and the central government wanted to contain them, they were helpless. If he contributes to this matter, and really uses the power of the Son of Heaven to suppress Jinyiwei, his reputation and status in the court will inevitably be greatly increased.

What's more, he has another secret hidden in his heart that can't be said, so he needs to put this charge on the head of Jinyiwei, especially Lu Jin.

So in the face of Yao Gan's angry rebuttal, he didn't panic at all, but looked at each other with a sneer: "The two of you are stolen by people, can this still be fake?" What I said is also true, with the two of you, you don't have the courage to do the thing of stealing exam questions, only those who are in a high position have this means, and they also have the courage to do such things! ”

Meng Tingyue nodded thoughtfully: "What Lord Xu said is that there should indeed be another mastermind in this matter, you two should honestly explain the master's envoys, so that the old man can still defend you in front of His Majesty." Otherwise, under such a serious crime, even if you don't die, this life will be over. ”

"I ......" Hearing them say so seriously, Wei Chengmo suddenly panicked. He really didn't expect things to turn out like this, he originally came to investigate the leakage of the exam questions, but he was recognized as a sinner who stole the questions, how is this good?

Seeing the hesitation in his heart, Xu Youzhen also said at the right time: "Lord Wei, you and I are colleagues in the DPRK and China, but unlike others, as long as you have hardships, we will definitely help you speak." Presumably you were deceived or threatened by someone to do such a thing in a moment of confusion, right? Did the people of Jinyiwei take your handle and threaten you to steal the exam questions? ”

This can be regarded as an inducement of confession, Yao Gan's face changed dramatically in a hurry, and he shouted: "You are framing my Jinyi Guard!" Master Wei, you can't fall for them! ”

As soon as his words came out, Wei Chengmo beside him had already bowed his head and said, "You...... You are right, it is precisely because of helplessness that Xia Guan will do such a thing......" While speaking, he didn't dare to look at Yao Gan anymore, but he really pushed the matter to Jinyiwei according to Xu Youzhen's intentions!
