Chapter 252: Passing the Danger Test

The Beijing martial arts examination has finally begun, and the first one is the literary examination, also called the "infield". Don't look at this as the first one, in fact, for most martial artists, the literary test is actually the most difficult, a group of tall and rough men are few who can read and write, let alone write any strategies, but also quote scriptures and various military books to answer those questions from the "Seven Books of Martial Arts".

But the Chinese people are very flexible, and in recent years, the difficulty of this essay test has become less and less, from writing a strategy to now only need to write a paragraph in the "Seven Books of Wujing" required by the question.

This would have been a good thing for all candidates, but it was not, because the answers to the essay test were fixed, making it easier to cheat. If you have a backstage, you will naturally find a way to get through this level.

And the emperor doesn't care too much about whether the martial artists are cultured, so slowly, as long as there is a background candidate, they basically don't have to memorize what to write the "Seven Books of the Martial Arts", there are answers directly, as long as they are handed in in time, they can pass the test, which is a formality of the exam.

After a noisy opening ceremony, an examiner walked up to the stage to announce the start of the exam. "The literary examination begins, and everyone enters the exam according to the brand in their hand."

Yang Xiaoshan and the other candidates lined up and walked to the door, waiting for the examiner to issue signs.

"Name?"

"Zhang San."

"Take the cards. Next...... ”

When it was Yang Xiaoshan's turn, he stepped forward, "Yang Xiaoshan." ”

The examiner glanced at him, looked at the roster, saw that there was a mark on his back, and immediately understood, and chose a sign for a specific examination room and gave it to him.

This brand is an examination room where you can cheat, and the candidates in it are all related to high-ranking officials and nobles.

Yang Xiaoshan walked into his examination room with a sign, this examination room is a partition, it looks no different from other examination rooms, each one is an independent space, even the two adjacent rows are far apart, there is no way to peek.

The real difference is under the desk, there are two pieces of paper under the desk of everyone in this examination room, one is a blank paper, and the next one is the standard answer sheet, and the secret is here.

Yang Xiaoshan found his place and sat down, and sure enough, he saw Su Qi'er in the next row waving to him, but the two of them were far away, and they couldn't hear what they were saying.

"Candidates should pay attention to the discipline of the examination room and do not cheat, otherwise they will be disqualified from the examination and will not be allowed to enter the examination room for the next ten years. The exams begin in earnest. The examiner pretended to warn.

So the candidates began to grind the time, because they were only allowed to hand in the papers after half a pillar of incense, and their exam papers had already been written for them.

Some people sleep on their stomachs, some people play with the brush on the table, and some people make ink, but none of them answer the questions. Everyone was extremely relaxed, just waiting for the half-pillar of incense to hand over and leave.

Only Yang Xiaoshan was extremely anxious, because there was only a blank paper under his desk, and there was no standard answer. Yang Xiaoshan fidgeted, and he kept looking around the table to see if the answer was blown away by the wind.

In fact, the answer was not blown away by the wind, but taken away. Su Saburo bribed an examiner and made him manipulate and take away the prepared standard answer sheet before the exam. So no matter how much Yang Xiaoshan looks, it is impossible to find it.

This time Yang Xiaoshan panicked, he clearly saw that the people next to him didn't even start writing and had ready-made answers, only he didn't, what was going on?

Look at the questions again, they are all traditional characters, although they all know, but he has never memorized any "Seven Books of Martial Arts", this is fatal, and he can't answer it, I didn't expect that I had been preparing for the exam for so long, and this first literary exam was going to be planted. What can I do?

The time for half a pillar of incense soon came, and the other candidates began to leave the table one after another to hand in their papers, and their expressions were very relaxed, needless to say that everyone was full score. And Yang Xiaoshan, who was still sitting on the bench, grabbed the brush but couldn't write a word.

Yang Xiaoshan was anxious, even if he didn't understand the exam in his previous life, then at least he could write something casually, and if he couldn't do it, he could write a "solution" or "answer" or something like that, but he couldn't think of it here, but he had nowhere to write, and he couldn't write anything.

Outside the examination room, Su Saburo was drinking tea in a nearby teahouse, and he was also waiting for news from his internal response.

"Third son, someone is here." One of Saburo's entourage reported.

"Let him come." Su Saburo took a sip of tea, and it seemed that he should have succeeded.

"Third son, it's done, this is Changshan's standard answer sheet, which was stolen by me." The examiner who was bought off flattered.

Su Saburo glanced at him, this examiner was his father's protégé, "The work is good, these silver are rewarded for you." No one noticed you did it, did they? Su Saburo's entourage took out a thousand taels of silver tickets and handed them to the examiner.

"The small one is in charge of the outfield, and it is also an excuse to go to the infield test center, and this exam paper was also stolen with great difficulty, and things are difficult, but fortunately, no one found out what I did." The examiner emphasized the difficulty and wanted to ask for more money.

"Will he be given another standard answer sheet in the exam room?" Saburo asked.

"Impossible, this is cheating after all, the number of people is fixed, one is not more, one is not less, who dares to take this risk?" The examiner is an insider and knows the details very well.

"Okay, you go down first, and after the deed is done, there will be a reward for you." Su Saburo was secretly happy in his heart, he finally succeeded in rectifying Yang Xiaoshan, and as soon as he made a move, he cut off his future, and all his anger disappeared.

But it didn't take long for Yang Xiaoshan, who came out with a smile, to slap him in the face.

It turned out that in the examination room, Su Qi'er discovered Yang Xiaoshan's abnormality, there were few people in the examination room, the examiner was collecting papers outside, and almost all the candidates in the examination room walked out. Su Qi'er relied on knowing the examiner here, boldly walked in front of Yang Xiaoshan, saw a blank piece of paper in front of him, and said in surprise: "What? Big brother, you didn't answer the questionnaire? ”

"Nope. Maybe you missed me. "Yang Xiaoshan didn't expect someone to harm him yet.

"The number of copies of this standard answer sheet is linked to the number of candidates here, it is a fixed number, one copy per person, how can it be missed?" Su Qi'er couldn't believe it, "Forget it, big brother, you still use mine, change your name, it's a big deal that the younger brother will come back next year, the younger brother is young, and the younger brother can afford to marry a frosty girl a year later." ”

"That's not necessary, you have to marry Rushuang this year, you can copy the answer sheet for me." Fortunately, Yang Xiaoshan can write.

"Big brother, you can write, that's so easy." Su Qi'er admired that her eldest brother was really both civil and military.

After a while, Yang Xiaoshan copied more than 200 words on this volume, and finally "escaped death". When the two went out to hand in the papers together, they looked at each other and smiled, and this time they passed the test without danger. None of them had the idea to go to Su Saburo, who was shocked by the jaw drop in the teahouse.
