Chapter 167 Fraudulent Means

Zhang Pengxi has served in Jiangnan for a long time, and has also tried several cases in Jiangnan, and is well aware of the situation in Jiangnan, Jiangnan is not only rich, but also there are many factions in the officialdom, and people from all walks of life have "inserted" a large number of people in Jiangnan. [-No pop-ups, permanent URL:,!]

Hearing that the case is major and complicated, and there are many officials involved, he beat the drum in his heart, if the fourteenth master returns to the capital, he is really worried that he will not be able to carry it alone, he knows that Yinzhen can not stay in Yangzhou for a long time, so he said goodbye to Yinzhen, and hurriedly convened the Liangjiang Governor Kali, Jiangsu Governor Zhang Boxing, and Anhui Governor Liang Shixun to discuss.

Zhang Pengxi not only has the highest official rank and taste, but also is the minister of the study, and is the chief judge of the Jiangnan scientific examination case ordered by Kangxi, the three of Kali are naturally based on him, once the three of them are together, Zhang Pengxi said: "The township examination and the examination are all the national selection of talents, Jiangnan literary style is pure, talents are numerous, the imperial court has always attached great importance to it, and the case of fraud in the Jiangnan Township trial has seriously damaged the prestige of the imperial court in Jiangnan, and it is a rare case in the field in the past 50 years. The purpose of the special purpose is to try the case in Yangzhou, in order to conclude the case seriously and quickly.

It has been two months since the scientific investigation case occurred, and since I have arrived in Yangzhou, it is not appropriate to delay any longer, there are many people involved in this case, and all the people involved in the case can be released to Yangzhou? ”

Kali bowed and replied: "Back to Zhang Zhongtang, all the prisoners have been detained in Yangzhou Mansion School and Prison."

Zhang Pengxi nodded slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "This case happened because among the students on the list, the children of the rich salt merchants and high-ranking officials and nobles reached forty, accounting for twenty percent.

It seems that Zhang Zhongtang is going to make a big move and thoroughly investigate the case, Jiangsu Governor Zhang Boxing has always had a good relationship with Zhang Pengxi, and he is also the most disgusted and hated these fraudulent and selfish actions, and took the lead in saying: "What Zhang Zhongtang said is very true, and if you don't take the retest, it is not enough to make the people angry, not enough to show the justice of the court, and not enough to deter those filthy officials."

Liang Shixun hesitated slightly, then hesitated and said, "Zhang Zhongtang, in this way, I'm afraid it will be delayed."

"If you don't take the test again, how many students in Anzhi cheat? And how to thoroughly investigate this case? Zhang Pengxi said slowly: "Student fraud is the source of this case, must be re-tested and strictly investigated, there are more than 40 students suspected of fraud, all Jiangning, Zhenjiang, Suzhou, Yangzhou, Tongzhou several prefectures, fast horses, fast boats, can not delay any time, limited to a group of people in five days to gather in Yangzhou for the retest, those who are not outdated, their reputation, correct their crimes, recommended local officials to investigate together."

Seeing that Zhang Pengxi was already determined to retest, the time limit was tight, and the punishment was severe, the three of them didn't say much, got up and waved their hands, "I respect Zhang Zhongtang's order." ”

With the issuance of this order, Yangzhou immediately became lively, fast horses, fast boats galloped out frequently, Yangzhou scholars, gentry, and people clapped their hands and applauded, while a group of salt merchants and eunuchs were full of sadness.

Yangzhou, Fuxue.

The chief examiner and deputy chief examiner of the Jiangnan scientific examination, the official who is suspected of participating in fraud, and the examiner, all of whom have been detained here, are waiting for the trial of this case.

However, as soon as Zhang Pengxi arrived in Yangzhou, the situation changed, and the brigade of Goshha and the officials drove into the government school, separated a group of officials and locked them in separate rooms, and one by one the officials were called out for questioning, and the atmosphere became tense at once, and a group of officials with ghosts in their hearts were even more panicked.

Zhang Pengxi not only detained the officials involved in the case separately and separately, but even the family members and servants who followed these officials to Yangzhou were strictly controlled, and they were not allowed to go out or spread the news, and the atmosphere in the entire Yangzhou city immediately became solemn.

Yangzhou City, Fuchun Garden.

After Yinzhen arranged and explained the affairs clearly, he was idle, so he called Ding Erjian and Wu Mingjun over, and after the two of them saw each other, he asked with a smile: "You two are also all the way from the county examination, the government examination, the hospital examination, and the township examination, and you should have heard of the fraud in the department, but you are familiar with the inside story?"

Ding Erjian bowed and said: "Back to the prince, the scientific field fraud, the history is long, my dynasty has the most detailed scientific examination system, and the punishment is also the most severe, but all kinds of fraud is still unstoppable, but it is endless, more and more intense, and its means can be described as varied, such as favoritism, gambling and buying, secret joints, entrainment, on-site transmission, guns for Qiandai, impersonation of the exam, impersonation of the top exam, concealment of the newspaper, cutting and changing the test papers, writing and changing, leaking exam questions, plagiarism, boycott and so on, there are countless of them. ”

Hearing Ding Erjian's report so many fraudulent methods in one breath, Yinzhen couldn't help but gasp, college entrance examination fraud compared to scientific examination fraud, it is really a small thing, these fraudulent methods are summarized extremely concisely and concisely, as soon as you hear it, you will know what is going on, and he will groan slightly, and then he asked: "What do you think of the Jiangnan Township trial fraud case in this department?"

Ding Erjian said: "There has always been fraud in the science field, it is nothing more than the size of the subject, now the science and township test, they are too bold, too obvious, Wu Mi, Cheng Guangkui, Xu Zongshi, Yu Jizu, Ma Shilong and several others, are just rough and well-versed in literature and ink, even high school, naturally caused public anger, judging from the situation of these people, it is very likely that they bought the examiner, and then cut the test papers, and wrote and changed them."

Wu Mingjun said in a deep voice: "Lord Wang, the student thinks that this fraud case is very likely to be a big case, the marking procedure of the township examination is very strict, if you want to win the list, it is not guaranteed to just change the test papers, and it is not easy to buy the examiner, the chief examiner, the house official, the internal supervisor, and the internal palm, all have to be put in place layer by layer, in addition to the chief examiner, other officials are mostly temporarily transferred from the two provinces and counties, these local officials, some are moved by money, and some are entrusted by others, There are also those who have been suppressed by the officials, and all kinds of situations are extremely complicated, and if you want to decide on the first trial, you have to have a thunderbolt. ”

When Yinzhen heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Wu Mingjun, this person doesn't talk much, it seems dull, but he can cut the pros and cons when he speaks, but he is a character.

The more than 40 students suspected of fraud were all the children of salt merchants and eunuchs, all of whom lived in the prefectures and cities of various prefectures, and received reports from fast horses and fast boats, although they were terrified and worried, but no one dared to resist the order, and they all rushed to Yangzhou on time.

On the morning of the eighth day of November, the re-examination was held in Yangzhou Fuxue.

Zhang Pengxi personally made the question, in order to prevent fraud, the examination room was heavily guarded, there were soldiers all around to closely monitor, all the candidates were the children of rich families, arrogant and indulgent on weekdays, how had he ever experienced this kind of killing scene, one by one was apprehensive, unable to write, one day after the exam, there were eight people who handed in the white papers, after the papers, only twelve people passed.

As soon as the results came out, the officials in the examination room couldn't help but look at each other, Liang Shixun got up and said: "Zhang Zhongtang, it seems that this re-examination is quite unfair.

Zhang Pengxi glanced at him, and then said slowly: "The so-called qualified ones are just smooth writing and words, and the slightly better ones are only three or four people, if Lord Liang has an opinion, you can take a look at the papers one by one, there are many typos, and there are many people who are untrustworthy." Speaking of this, he raised his voice and said angrily: "It doesn't make sense to say bullshit, but it can be regarded as promoting them, and it seems that such articles can also make the list, I have to admire you for your boldness."

As soon as I heard that Zhang Pengxi even burst out of foul language, all the officials were silent, Liang Shixun also sat back in disdain, when Yinzhen came out, his face was covered with a lot of powder, and he looked pale, he was the most noble, sitting alone in the last case, seeing this situation, he wrote a note and passed it to Zhang Pengxi.

After Zhang Pengxi read it, he said to the twelve qualified students: "The youngest of you, who is also twenty-eight out of twenty, should have all started a family, write down the names of the boudoirs in their respective main houses, the birth dates of the children, and the ages clearly, and ask someone to check."

As soon as they heard Zhang Pengxi's words, two people were immediately dumbfounded, in a daze, both of them were gunmen, although they had a very clear understanding of the situation of the object of the replacement, they did not expect to be checked in this way, the name of a woman from a large family is generally not told to others, only their own very close family members know, and they rarely call their names on weekdays.

When all the officials saw this situation, they all understood, many officials lowered their heads and laughed secretly, this fourteenth master can really fool around, and he actually came up with such an unbelievable way to check the impostor.

The governor of Liangjiang, Kali, was very embarrassed, only qualified twelve people, and there were actually two impostors, he was shocked, and shouted: "Come on, bring these two impostors forward."

Immediately, four wolf-like servants rushed forward, and with neat hands and feet, they escorted the two dejected gunmen to the front of the hall and knelt down.

Kali asked hatefully, "The county exam, the government exam, the hospital exam, and the township exam have all been examined, all of which are guaranteed by five people, and they are guaranteed by five people, and they need to be recommended by the county, and they must be named when they enter the school, and they must fill in their resumes after the exam, how did you two come from the impostor?" Recruit from the truth"

As a result, the confession of the two impostors made a group of officials collectively lose their voices, these two people are from the county test, the government test, the hospital test, the township test, all the way down, can be called a one-stop service, the two people are average, every time the examination has its own main point, and the treatment is very generous, the two are also desperate, willing to be gunmen.
