Chapter 668: The Storm of the Examination (3)

In the reluctance of the candidates, this farce-like body search was finally successfully completed. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info and what is slightly satisfying is that this one has really been found to have more than a dozen people with cheating, as for whether there are other things in their test baskets, it is impossible to find out for a while.

In this way, it also calmed the hearts of other candidates a little, and no one wanted to be defeated by despicable means at such an important moment in their lives, and now the government is helping to find out, but they are also convinced. But even so, looking at the sun that had risen to the middle of the heavens, the candidates who were able to enter the Gongyuan were still full of resentment, and this inspection actually consumed half a day's time.

However, Yang Zhen didn't have the heart to take into account the thoughts of these people, but focused his attention on those cheating candidates who were caught, and he had to find out whether what these people did was just a personal intention, or was instructed by some people.

Seeing that he was busy interrogating the candidates who were taken, Zhang Siwei did not bother again, and returned to the examination room. He still has to do a lot of things to do, so naturally he can't stay outside.

When Zhang Siwei finished all the preparations and distributed the test questions and test papers, it was another hour later, and Yang Zhen had already finished interrogating those candidates, and at the same time asked someone to carefully check the test baskets, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong with them, he returned them to the candidates who had already entered the number room. Of course, there are some guys with crooked minds who have been found out, and what awaits them will be extremely heavy punishment.

Seeing that Yang Zhen had returned to Minglun Hall, Zhang Siwei also walked out automatically and asked in a low voice, "How?" Did Yang find out any problems? ”

Yang Zhen shook his head lightly: "I asked those fraudulent candidates, they were just greedy for a while, and they didn't have much confidence in their own knowledge, so they took the wrong path." As far as I can see, they are telling the truth, not being instructed to do so. ”

"Well, that's good. If that happens, this case will be too serious! Zhang Siwei also said with a serious expression. Then he smiled and threw his hand at Yang Zhen: "But this time, the official still wants to thank Yang Zhen for your caution and giving everyone a fairer environment." ”

"Lord Zhang praised it falsely, the lower officials should feel embarrassed." Yang Zhen smiled bitterly: "The lower official issued that order without full consideration, which caused the candidates to be dissatisfied. If it weren't for the adults who came forward in time to clean up the mess, I was afraid that it would be difficult for the next official to deal with it this time. ”

"Haha, this official just thought of it by chance, it's nothing." Zhang Siwei smiled a little self-contained on his face. But after he saw Yang Zhen's still deeply locked brows, he couldn't laugh anymore: "What, is there anything else Yang Zhen wants to say?" ”

"I always feel that this meeting is a little unusual, although we have won a lot of cheaters, but the situation should not be so simple." Yang Zhen frowned and said, "It's just that I can't figure out for a while, where the situation will be." ”

When he said this, Zhang Siwei, who was already a little relieved, also became hesitant: "Then what should I do?" "There's almost nothing they can do now.

Yang Zhen only shook his head lightly this time: "I can only see if there will be any variables outside." "All he can count on now is those brothers of the Jinyi Guard, I hope they will not let him down and help him in this matter.

At this time, it was almost dusk, and the blood-red sunset shone into the tribute courtyard from the west, completely dyeing this piece into blood......

In front of the Gongyuan, in addition to those candidates who were waiting to enter the exam, there were also many family members who sent them to the exam, and other people who watched the excitement and did small business.

When the candidates began to review the essays, the news spread throughout Beijing after it was fully fermented, and even the officials in the major yamen had heard about it and expressed their opinions on it.

Li Ye was listening to his subordinates tell the story of the incident in front of the Gongyuan in detail in his public office at this moment, and a sneer was unconsciously revealed on his face. After the other party finished speaking, he squinted his eyes and said: "From this point of view, Lord Zhang and Yang Yan are really concerned, and they would rather offend those candidates than put an end to possible fraud?" ”

"Presumably so. However, it is difficult to say whether those candidates will appreciate it, after all, it was they who made a big fool of them in public, and such an insult is really not acceptable to my generation of scholars. In addition, as far as the lower officials know, some officials who heard about this incident were also quite dissatisfied with this, and seemed to have the intention of impeachment. ”

"Oh? This is indeed worthy of impeachment! They are all the future pillars of our court, and it is indeed very inappropriate to do so, it is almost a slap in the face of the court. Li Ye's eyes flickered, but another thought was born in his heart, would they do this, would it bring any variables to their established plans?

He wasn't worried that his plan would be seen through by Yang Zhen and them, because at this time, it was too late, and they in the Tribute Courtyard would not have thought that something had happened outside the examination room. All he had to worry about was what kind of opinion the courtiers would leave on Zhang Siwei and Yang Zhen after this incident. If you think that they are selfless, then it is also a little difficult to put the blame on them.

But soon, Li Ye was relieved again, as long as he wanted to cover up, these suspicious officials would not believe their true intentions. He also believes that as long as the matter is exposed, with the impulse of the candidates and the excitement of those self-proclaimed upright and high-ranking officials in the DPRK and China, no matter how great Yang Zhen and Zhang Siwei are, they will inevitably fold in this field.

"My lord......" The subordinates around him suddenly pondered when they saw Li Ye, and they didn't feel a little strange, so they hurriedly greeted him twice, which made him pull out of his calculations, and smiled at him: "But this matter doesn't have much to do with us, just do the things in hand well." I just hope that nothing will go wrong with the Enke exam this time, after all, this is an important thing after the marriage of the Son of Heaven. ”

"What the adults said is extremely true, it is the lower officials who have some Meng Lang." Only then did the subordinate put away his gossip and retreated. It's just that he didn't see that his boss's face at this time was faintly excited, obviously thinking was completely different from what he said.

In the depths of a winding hutong in the west of Beijing, there are a few very ordinary houses, with neither wide land nor tall buildings, and there are so many such houses in all parts of Beijing that they will not attract anyone's attention at all.

But before sunset today, there are some surprising changes in the area. Originally, the people who passed by here avoided it far away at this time, and they didn't even dare to wear this alley. Just because, at this time, there were dozens of strong men in red guarding the mouth of the alley with knives, completely guarding the nearby area.

These men in red are the brocade guards in the capital that everyone dare not underestimate. Since it is the Jinyi Guard operation, in the eyes of ordinary people, they believe that something big will happen, so they naturally dare not approach easily.

After controlling the entrances and exits of this area, and even sending people to occupy several commanding heights of walls and trees, and using bows and crossbows as guards, Xia Kai and Hu Ge reunited and looked at a lean but capable man in front of them: "Your news can't be wrong, right?" ”

"The little one doesn't dare, that person has indeed been in the major restaurants in the capital before, and secretly sold the test questions for this exam with those who are about to take the exam." As he spoke, the man poked into his arms and took out a piece of paper: "Two adults, please see, this is what the little one bought for a lot of money." and for this one you will have five hundred taels of silver. ”

When Hu Ge heard this, his expression became even more solemn, and he took the paper with his hand, and after glancing at the title on it, he fell into deep thought: "Is this true or false?" ”

Xia Kai was much more crisp than him, only glanced at the content on the paper, and said: "Since there is evidence, let's act." As for whether this is true or not, it's not too late to ask after taking down someone. ”

"Okay, remember, you have to catch it alive." Hu Ge also made up his mind, raised his hand and waved forward, and immediately, the captains of the brocade guards who had been prepared for a long time rushed towards the target courtyard in the depths of the alley like cheetahs.

The low courtyard wall couldn't stop the footsteps of these agile men at all, only one jump, and then press and flip over the wall, dozens of people have already turned into the courtyard one after another, and then scattered, and directly kicked the door into several houses with a sharp blade in hand.

In the room, there were four or five men in gray cloth around drinking and bragging, and when they heard that the door was kicked open, and they saw dozens of wolf-like brocade guards suddenly killed, these guys were immediately frightened and stunned on the spot. It wasn't until the steel knives were put up on their necks that they cried out: "Wronged, the little one doesn't know anything......

At this time, Xia Kai and Hu Ge had also walked in. As soon as he heard this, Xia Kai couldn't help but laugh: "Boy, aren't you a thief in your words?" Seeing that the situation was completely under control, he laughed a little self-deprecatingly, he took this matter too seriously, and actually made such a careful arrangement, but he didn't expect these guys to be so vulnerable.

Hu Ge, on the other hand, took a few steps forward, and kept sweeping the faces of several guys in front of him with vicious eyes: "Say, who are you, and who are you ordered to sell exam questions in those restaurants?" He knew very well that this matter was related to the safety of his own adults, so he didn't mean to beat around the bush, and went straight to the topic!
