Wu Jie was slightly shocked in his heart: "Please also ask for advice." ”

The scribe smiled and stretched out his hand to take the test basket in Wu Jie's hand, and picked out dozens of pancakes from which Gui Zhi was burned.

Wu Shu is here, this is to be cut into small pieces.

But the scribe said, "You don't need to bring this in, the weather has been getting hotter and hotter recently, so you have to be careful not to eat it and spoil your stomach." The court was particularly generous and provided meals free of charge, with two dishes and one soup for each meal. ”

Before the words were finished, the candidates who had not yet entered the hall cheered quietly.

It turned out that this examination was a national-level examination, and all expenses were paid by the Ministry of Rites. After all, it is related to the face of the imperial court, and the Ministry of Rites is not easy to withhold this silver, so they simply invited the fire head to cook for the candidates. Unlike in the township examination, the local government, in order to save money, simply ignored the questions and allowed the candidates to starve inside.

It is said that Wu Jie knew that in the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, there were also cases of people dying of starvation in the examination room, of course, in this situation, the magistrate and the examiner were responsible. A good reading seed entered the examination room, but you starved to death, no matter what.

The exam is so intense, and the amount of exam questions is much larger than that of the township exam, for example, in the first three days, there are eight shares and seven articles when there are many times, and the big guys don't have time to write the questions, who still has time to cook. Besides, the old men who come to take the exam are not diligent and do not distinguish between the four bodies and the grains, and they are all served by others at home, not to mention cooking, let them make a stove, they will die.

Immediately, everyone was happy and busy, picking out the food in the exam basket and throwing it aside.

The candidates prepared a variety of foods, including pancakes, bacon, pastries, and even raw rice and sauerkraut.

Suddenly, there were white flowers on the ground, which was cheaper than the old officials who cleaned the square.

After tidying up the examination basket, as soon as I walked into the gate of the Gongyuan, I heard someone shouting: "Slow, what's going on." Why not do you do a body search? ”

It's loud, but it's inadequate.

Wu Jie was shocked, so that several officials looked up, but saw a middle-aged man in a red official uniform standing at the door with an angry face, with a majestic face.

This person is sallow, a little fat, and his stomach is high, and he is Zhao Wenhua, the vice president of this session.

"Lord Zhao!" The scribe and the servant hurried forward to give the salute. Said: "My lord, it has been searched, and there is no entrainment." ”

"Shut up, Lord Ben can see clearly upstairs, and he hasn't even taken off his clothes, which is also called a search?" Zhao Wenhua was furious. There was a hot sweat on his forehead: "You are such a perfunctory errand, and the official asks you, is this candidate your relative, or has he benefited from it?" ”

He pointed his finger at Wu Jie fiercely.

This is a very serious statement, and if it is true, this scribe and the two officials will be exiled for 3,000 miles.

Suddenly, the three of them changed color at the same time, and the two officials even knelt on the ground with a plop and shouted wronged.

The candidates also looked at each other, and Wu Jie was pointed at by Zhao Wenhua. I was very unhappy.

The scribe hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to whisper beside Zhao Wenhua.

Zhao Wenhua flicked his sleeves and shouted: "Stop, this official has nothing to say to people, act above board, and say it in front of everyone if you have something to say." ”

The scribe also had a trace of anger on his face, and said in a low voice: "Lord Zhao, this candidate is Wu Jie, Wu Shizhen. ”

"Oh. It's Wu Shizhen! Zhao Wenhua's expression moved. Turning his gaze to Wu Jie, he asked rhetorically: "What?" ”

"Lord Zhao. He is Wu Shizhen, the Wu Shizhen who wrote 'Yang Liu'an, Xiaofeng Wanyue'. By the way, it was also written that "if you want to cross the Yellow River and ice the river, you will climb the mountains full of snow" ...... probably thought that Zhao Wenhua didn't know the name of Wu Jie, and the book office specially reminded him. "Shut up! Zhao Wenhua interrupted the scribe's words and said angrily: "Lord Ben is not deaf, how can he not know." I ask you, what is it? ”

The scribe is also a showman, Lord Ben Zhao scolded him like this, his face turned red, and his voice became louder: "My lord, Wu Jie is a generation of Wenzong, a grandmaster-level figure in Shilin. It is an honor for us to be able to come to take the exam. With the reputation of his identity, there is no need to cheat at all. ”

"Haha, haha!" Zhao Wenhua laughed loudly and said disdainfully: "There are many people in this world who sell their fame and reputation, poetry and small paths, can make a few Fengyue games, and they are also worthy of being called a generation of Wenzong?" Those who can write poems may not be able to make good eight shares, otherwise, the court should write poems. The country's talent selection ceremony takes moral articles, and takes a steady and loyal gentleman, not the kind of wanderer who wanders around the flower street and willow alleys all day long. If you ignore the law and cheat in the field, the official can tolerate you, but the way of heaven and the law of the country cannot tolerate you. Someone's coming! ”

With a loud shout, several soldiers came from behind Zhao Wenhua and shouted in unison: "The subordinates are here!" ”

Zhao Wenhua pointed to the secretary office and the two officials and said: "Take these three people down, give them thirty rods, take them into custody, and wait until the end of the exam, and then issue the punishment to Yousi." ”

"Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives!" The two officials couldn't stop kowtowing, no one knew better than him the power of the yamen's sticks, these thirty sticks down, even the steel and iron bones would be beaten.

The scribe's body shook and his face turned white.

Zhao Wenhua looked at Wu Jie with a sneer: "As for you, Wu Jie...... When someone came, he was stripped naked, searched carefully, and did not let go of an inch. If there is really entrainment, the fame will be removed immediately, and the crime will be punished severely. ”

"Yes!" As soon as the crowd rushed up, they had to do it.

Wu Jie knew that it was not good, and was about to argue, but at this moment, he saw a bright light flashing in Zhao Wenhua's eyes, and there was a trace of pride in it.

I knew in my heart that this Zhao Wenhua was deliberate, and he must know his name.

If you are not mistaken, this Zhao Wenhua has already taken refuge in King Jing, and he Wu Jie and King Jing have completely turned their faces.

In this test, Zhao Wenhua is the vice president, and he must have received an order from King Jing in advance to find some trouble for Wu Jie and secretly promote Wu Lun.

Wu Jie is innocent, so he is naturally not afraid of being searched.

However, it is an irritating thing to strip naked in public.

Besides, Zhao Wenhua will definitely embarrass me Wu Jie. Not to mention that the spring bag was picked up with a knife like the Qiu Ju man just now, I am afraid that even Gu Dao will not let go.

Such a great shame, how can I see people after the Wu Festival, and how can I still mess around in Shilin?

No, we must not let Zhao Wenhua succeed!

However, people came according to the procedure, what can I do Wu Jie.

I saw that the two officials pounced viciously, and they were insulted, and Wu Jie's heart was suddenly confused.
