Chapter 256: Changing the Curtain Officer
Ye Yu looked at these old officials with flushed faces, but sneered: "The hour is almost up, although you have a moment of leisure here, you must not forget about business, and you have to rely on you for many matters such as collecting and sealing the volume in a while!" ”
"Where the duty is, it should be so, if Lord Ye has nothing else to do, I will retire first......"
Shi Zhengzhi, whose old face was flushed, could be described as having mixed feelings in his heart at the moment, not to mention how speechless and lost he was. Now he just wants to leave here as much as possible, lest this Lord Ye start scolding people again.
"Well, go ahead!" Ye Yu felt that this kind of humiliation was enough, so he didn't embarrass these people anymore.
A group of officials led by Shi Zhengzhi, the deputy chief examiner, hurriedly withdrew from the small courtyard, and Pan Zhisuo planned to go to supervise, but was retained by Ye Yu.
With the sound of drums, the triennial autumn exam came to an end at this moment. All the students stopped their pens and stayed in the examination room to wait for the curtain officer to collect the exam papers.
When all the test papers have been collected, the door of the Gongyuan is opened and the candidates are allowed to leave.
In the small courtyard, Ye Yu was eating barbecue happily, picking up a few glasses of soju from time to time, enjoying the delicious food with great interest.
Of course, Ye Yu did not forget the meritorious man this time, not only prepared the due soju for Xiao Hei, but also deliberately left a lot of roast pigeon meat!
I never thought that this little black was extremely stingy, and I was worried that Ye Yu would turn around and grab its food, so he picked up the bamboo basket and flew directly to the roof, standing on the roof and enjoying the food it dreamed of.
Pan Zhisuo looked up at Xiao Hei on the roof, and couldn't help but admire: "Brother Ye, this eagle is extremely strong, its wings are strong and powerful, it doesn't seem to be extraordinary!" ”
"Oh? Brother Pan still has research on this bird? Ye Yu put down his oily wings and asked with interest.
"When I was young, I also raised eagle falcons for a few days, and I knew a little about it, I never thought that Brother Ye would have such an eagle, but it really surprised Pan......
"It? Hmph, I used to be an alcoholic, but now I'm a foodie! ”
Although Pan Zhizhu didn't know what the word foodie meant, it should have the same meaning as gluttony, so he didn't ask too much.
"Brother Ye, if you leave Pan, won't it just watch you eat meat, right? At this time......"
Ye Yu waved his hand and said, "At this time, they should be collecting the rolls, and it's useless for you to go, so why bother?" ”
"However, Brother Ye, since you have insight into this flying pigeon fraud, why don't you bring these people to justice in turn, if you miss this opportunity, it will be too late!"
At this time, Pan Zhisuo's heart was very anxious, he was not only happy that Ye Yu was able to understand the fraud of flying pigeons, but also puzzled by Ye Yu's delay in timing.
"It's okay, since this matter has been clear, how could Ye be unprepared? But where there is an examination room with a flying pigeon and a list of candidates, after Ye found out the clues last night, he had already ordered the guards to secretly write down these people! ”
"I see, Ye Yu, why didn't you say it earlier? Let Pan be anxious for a ......"
Looking at Pan Zhisuo's relaxed face, Ye Yu's heart suddenly settled down a lot. Because the reason why he didn't tell him was actually a temptation.
He just wanted to see how these officials would react to today's incident in the small courtyard without knowing it.
Previously, because he did not find the pigeon message, Ye Yu still had a very confident attitude towards Pan's place. But the appearance of these carrier pigeons made Ye Yu instantly raise his vigilance.
Because the matter is getting more and more complicated, far from being as simple as he thought before.
The carrier pigeon can accurately enter the candidate's examination room, which is not something that can be done temporarily. It takes a long time to train the pigeons to land exactly at the right place.
It can be said that this kind of trick must have been prepared in advance, and it was by no means arranged in a hasty manner.
Then, this autumn exam in Fuzhou has shown that the internal relationship is very complicated. And what was found in the search outside the Gongyuan may be the * array laid by the other party.
Obviously, the purpose of this * array is to make Ye Yu think that he is in control of the overall situation, and then he will relax his vigilance. And the highlight will be under his nose.
Thinking of this level, it really made Ye Yu gasp, he didn't expect that he had been calculated from the beginning.
Therefore, before sorting out the origin of the matter, even Pan Zhizhi can't be trusted.
Being an official is not greedy, there are few in the world, if he Ye Yu is not rich in the world, he will definitely be greedy for money, this is human nature! Pan Zhi's officialdom has also been rolling for several years, and it is difficult to say whether he is still a hot-blooded young man now.
If Pan Zhisuo was really corrupt and took bribes, Ye Yu really didn't know how to deal with it. After all, in the face of love and law, even the saint will not be indifferent.
However, today's appearance of Pan Zhisuo made Ye Yu feel a little comforted, because he could see that Pan Zhisuo did not know about this matter.
Ye Yu naturally couldn't tell what he was thinking in his heart, but said with a faint smile: "Yesterday you were tired, and when I saw that you were asleep, I couldn't bear to disturb you!" ”
Pan Zhisuo didn't care about this, but said with a smile: "Now that Brother Ye is in charge, he will definitely be able to return a fair autumn to the students of Fuzhou!" ”
Ye Yu smiled, then shook his head and didn't say anything.
……
After the candidates left, the gate of the Gongyuan was closed again, because it was the time for the examiners to mark the papers.
The recording of all candidates' examination papers was a major progress in the Song Dynasty for scientific examinations, and by the Southern Song Dynasty, regulations had been formed. Therefore, the work of fame and reputation is in full swing in the Gongyuan.
Honor record is to copy a copy of the original volume, and then keep the original volume secret. The examiner can only mark the copied papers, which is a means to eliminate fraud.
However, Ye Yu did not intend to hand over the current curtain official to copy this reputation, but proposed to replace the curtain official to copy the autumn exam paper.
Because the source of cheating in the examination room, one is carried in the entrance room, and the other is the curtain official who fornicates with the examiner and the examiner, and secretly marks the secret mark when transcribing, so that the examiner can score high.
Ye Yu knew this, so he made this decision. It is a pity that as soon as he proposed this decision, he was immediately opposed by all officials.
"Lord Ye, this scientific examination is a solemn thing, and there have always been regulations, how can it be treated like a child's play?"
"Yes, Lord Ye, although you are a special envoy of the Qincha, and you are the chief examiner of this autumn examination, but there are rules for scientific examinations, unless there is an explicit instruction from the imperial court, this will definitely not set this precedent!"
"Lord Ye, this matter must not be done!"
“……”
Everyone spoke one after another, hoping that Ye Yu would be able to act according to the rules, and he must not act arbitrarily and ruin the regulations of the imperial court's scientific examination.
Although Pan Zhi's officials did not put pressure on Ye Yu, and helped from time to time, after all, the small boat was no match for the big waves, and Pan Zhi's voice was quickly drowned!
Ye Yu touched his chin, his eyes fell on Shi Zhengzhi's body, and then asked softly: "Shi Zhifu, you are the deputy chief examiner of this Qiuqiu, I don't know what you think?" ”
The voices of opposition were all the clamor of Ma Ming and others, but Shi Zhengzhi maintained his due calmness and stood silently beside him, because he was worried about the cheating of the flying pigeons.
In the small courtyard, Ye Yu invited guests to eat barbecue, and Shi Zhengzhi knew that this was not Ye Yu's true intention. But afterwards, Ye Yu did not show the means to act resolutely, and these unreasonable phenomena made Shi Zhengzhi feel very uneasy.
He kept thinking about what this young Lord Ye was going to do!
At this time, Ye Yu took the initiative to ask him, and he could only reply stubbornly: "My lord, what the colleagues here said is not unreasonable, the imperial examination is an important weapon of the imperial court, unless it is a special circumstance, it must not be changed......"
"Oh? In terms of the prefect's meaning, this official's move is too absurd? Ye Yu was not angry, but tapped the box on the table very rhythmically.
The contents of this box are the answers to the test questions taken from the pigeon's legs, and Ye Yu's actions made Shi Zhengzhi look awe-inspired!
"The lower officials have no such intention, the so-called everything has exceptions, and regulation is not a golden rule, when it is extraordinary, you should follow an extraordinary policy, if Lord Ye thinks it is feasible, then it is feasible......"
Shi Zhengzhi ignored everyone's opinions, and acquiesced to Ye Yu's decision, which made Ye Yu nod with satisfaction: "That's good, before the official came to Fuzhou, he had invited Mr. Private School from Fuzhou Nine Counties to replace the curtain official to copy the exam papers!" ”
"Since the adults have been prepared, then follow the instructions of the adults!" At this time, Shi Zhengzhi had a sinking face and could only let it go, the so-called rat trap is like this.
After the rest of the officials all retired, Ye Yu left Shi Zhengzhi and Pan Zhisu to discuss matters.
Ye Yu picked up the teacup and glanced at Shi Zhengzhi, and then said leisurely: "Shi Zhifu, the methods you play are really clever enough, and even the official was almost fooled!" ”
"This ...... The lower official doesn't know what the adults mean......"
"Don't say secret words in front of the Ming people, leaving you at this moment is to tell you clearly, the list of these three hundred and forty-two people is all recorded by the official, if the official waves the pen, all these people can be removed, and they will be investigated to the end!"
"Your Excellency...... This ......" Shi Zhengzhi's face, which was still relatively calm, suddenly showed a panicked look.
"Even if you shut up all these people, I'm afraid it's too late. Moreover, in that secret stronghold in the north of the city, the thirty-two jinshi who are responsible for writing the exam questions on their behalf, the official can arrest them anytime and anywhere! Do you think you can deceive this official with this little trick!? ”
"My lord, you ...... about this."
At this moment, Shi Zhengzhi was completely collapsed, and beads of sweat the size of beans oozed from his forehead. He didn't expect that the secret stronghold in the north of the city could be known and mastered by Ye Yu.
And what's even worse is that there is a writing team of thirty-two jinshi inside, all of which can be clearly understood by Ye Yu in detail.
In this room, the most surprised person is undoubtedly Pan's place. Such a large and large-scale cheating system was something he did not expect.
The number of cheating candidates and the huge number of cheating teams have made Pan Zhi angry and shocked!
