Chapter 401: The Gunslinger

Three days later, the first year of the Ming Chongzhen examination was held as scheduled, and Lin Yi, who was recuperating in his own dormitory, also saw the exam questions for the first time after the examination began through his own "intelligence network". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

However, Lin Yi did not find any "interception questions" that Xiao Mu kept saying he wanted to make, but they were all very normal, or rather, the exam questions that were too normal for Xiao Mu - covering the four books, scriptures, policy theories, tables, judgments, edicts, etc., which can be described as all-encompassing, and Lin Ye dared to pack a ticket, with Xiao Mu's literary accomplishment, it is fortunate that one third of these exam questions can be understood by him, in fact, even Lin Ye himself has no way to fully understand this exam question. After all, she doesn't specialize in this.

In this case, the fact is obvious, the exam questions for this exam are absolutely impossible for Xiao Mu to come up with by himself, unless Emperor Chongzhen's original spirit takes over his body again, and then personally produces the questions, it is possible to achieve this effect, of course, this is obviously impossible - in the past, Lin Yi had only heard that candidates who took the exam cheated and invited gunmen, but he had never heard that even the proposers of the exam could invite gunners.

According to Lin Yi's previous experience, it shouldn't be long before Xiao Mu will come to her - after all, since the time crossing to the present, Xiao Mu will come to her if there is only one thing, so she is also ready to ask a good question to see who prepared the exam questions for him this time.

Sure enough, as Lin Yi expected, she soon saw Xiao Mu, in fact, only when it came to the palace examination after the examination, Xiao Mu, the emperor, was needed to participate in person, and there were even many lazy emperors who did not even participate in the palace examination, but after all, Xiao Mu was the first time to experience such a thing as the imperial examination, and he took it very seriously, so even if it was an examination that did not require him to participate, he still showed his face, and after looking at the exam questions that had been packaged until the last moment before the exam was opened, he finally let go.

"Tell me, who did you find to write the exam questions this time?" This was the first thing Lin Yi asked after seeing Xiao Mu.

"You found out all this?" Xiao Mu pretended to be surprised and asked, as if he could write the question himself with the same expression as the current one.

"If you can't even find out about this, I'm no different from a blind man." Lin Yi replied angrily, "No one has ever told you about these tables, judgments, edicts, and the like, so I don't believe that you can be self-taught." ”

"Makes sense......" Xiao Mu finally admitted that the exam question this time was not his original, but the work of the "gunman", and then he asked another question, in fact, this question was undoubtedly more surprising to Xiao Mu than just now, "The exam over there has just begun, how did you get this exam question?" ”

"I have my own intelligence network, and you don't know it." Lin Yi replied as a matter of course.

"You must have asked Chu'er to find out for you." Xiao Mu immediately understood what was going on, "Fortunately, I sealed this exam question until the last moment before opening it, otherwise, with the current sieve-like system of the Ming Dynasty, this exam question will definitely be leaked." ”

"It's just that even so, there's no guarantee that the test questions won't be leaked." Lin Yi put forward the opposite view, "Although you sealed the exam questions well, but the exam questions were not made by yourself, and the 'gunman' you found to write the questions had every chance to leak the content of the exam questions." ”

"No wonder the tombs of those famous emperors in history were built to kill the craftsmen who participated in the construction, it turns out that the truth is similar to what you just said." Lin Yi's words made Xiao Mu's thoughts fly far away, thinking of the emperor who killed the craftsman in order to ensure that the tomb would not be robbed, but Xiao Mu didn't talk too much about irrelevant things, and quickly pulled the topic back, "Of course, I can't kill the person who made the question in order to ensure that the exam questions are not leaked." ”

"And how do you make sure they don't leak the question?" Lin Yi asked, and as she said that, she remembered something very important, "By the way, who did you ask for this exam question for you?" ”

"Of course, it's Qian Qianyi and Zhou Yanru who have taken care of the two of them, after all, they were all asked to teach me before, and they also know their level very well, and their knowledge is really good. Xiao Mu replied, "As for the question of confidentiality, since the test questions are from them, if they really leak it at that time, it will definitely be the responsibility of the two of them, and I just need to find the two of them to settle the account." ”

"Then how do you know whether it was leaked by Qian Qianyi or Zhou Yanru?" Lin Yi asked again, "And the relationship between the two of them is not good, they have been secretly stumbling with each other, in case it is actually Qian Qianyi who leaked the question but blames Zhou Yanru, or Zhou Yanru spreads the exam questions in order to harm Qian Qianyi, how should you find out?" ”

"I think the possibility of leaking the question itself is very small." Xiao Mu didn't care, shook his head and said, "Because before I came to them, they didn't know that I only asked them to come to the question, and after I called them here and handed over the characters who made the question, I never gave them the opportunity to meet anyone other than Wang Chengen." Moreover, it wasn't until I took them to the exam site and opened the exam questions in front of everyone, and after the exam had completely begun, I let them go home......

Lin Yi understood what Xiao Mu meant, it was obvious that Xiao Mu's method almost completely eliminated the possibility of Qian Qianyi and Zhou Yanru leaking the test questions, "Your approach is almost not much different from putting the two of them in prison." ”

"How can there be such an ugly statement about going to prison?" Xiao Mu subconsciously denied it, but after thinking about it, this is actually what he did, and then continued, "Even if they are imprisoned, they live in a high-end prison - I don't know how much higher than the Jinyi Guard's Imperial Prison, and they eat exquisite dishes that are carefully cooked every day, and they have eaten the food cooked by my imperial chef for two days in a row, no matter how you look at it, they have made money." ”

"Well, maybe you're right, the two of them would probably be happy to be put in a 'big jail' in this way." Lin Yi also admitted Xiao Mu's statement, and then continued to ask, "It's just that have you considered that since you found the two of them as 'gunners' to give you questions in this examination, then when it comes to the palace examination, who should you go to?" ”
