It wasn't until he was in his seventies that the first student of Taixue passed the paper.

It's just that his original ranking was in the top five, which is too obvious, and when he heard his number, even his own face had a look of relaxation and fear.

And two of the remaining seven students of Taixue are at the bottom, and the rest of the articles written cannot be seen at all, and they are judged to be poor. The rest of the people played well, although there were a lot of changes in the rankings, and there was not much difference in strength.

The emperor glanced at Cai Ruheng, the priest of the country, who was standing next to him, and his face was like ink.

Cai Ruheng lowered his head, he didn't dare to take a breath at this time, and secretly said that these students are really not angry, even if they are at the level of weekdays, they will not reach the point where they are now, I am afraid that these boys have been dumbfounded, where can they write any good articles!

When the candidates saw this result, they were very relieved, Guozi Jian Taixue, that is an official school that ordinary people can't go to, and they look down on everyone on weekdays, but they didn't expect them to have such a day.

How to say that these Taixue candidates are also the children of official eunuchs, for the sake of face, the emperor will not directly reprimand them for cheating here, but the results of the Taoist imperial examination are subject to the results of the palace examination, and those who are judged to fail will be disqualified from the jinshi.

When the few unranked Taixue candidates heard the emperor say this, their faces were like ashes.

After letting the candidates all retreat, the emperor looked at Cai Ruheng in the hall with heavy eyes.

"Cai Qing, what do you have to say?" the emperor asked, his tone full of displeasure.

Guozijian is the first school in the Great Wei Dynasty, and now that there is such a scandal, Cai Ruheng, who is the Guozijian sacrificial wine, will not escape responsibility regardless of whether he knows it or not.

Cai Ruheng knew that he was powerless to defend himself, so he stepped forward and knelt in front of the emperor: "If such a thing happens, Weichen is really shameless to face Your Majesty! But Weichen, as the prince of the country, will definitely find out about this matter and give the emperor an explanation to all the candidates! Ask the emperor for permission!"

The other ministers had different faces, and no one dared to come out to intercede for Cai Ruheng at this time.

The emperor's eyes were slightly cold, he did not respond to Cai Ruheng's request, but looked at Rong Che who was sitting on the side.

"The matter of leaking questions in the scientific examination will be investigated by King Xuan, and Dali Temple is responsible for assisting in the investigation. The emperor said lightly.

Rong Che's eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately got up and saluted: "Brother Chen's order, you should live up to the expectations of the imperial brother." ”

Xiao Minyuan, the secretary of Dali Temple, stepped forward and said: "Weichen must fully cooperate with His Royal Highness King Xuan." ”

The emperor glanced at Cai Ruheng, threw up his sleeves and left.

Cai Ruheng, who was kneeling on the ground, was pale, if the emperor promised to let him investigate this matter, he could also find a substitute for the dead ghost, but this errand has now fallen into the hands of King Xuan, which means that the emperor has suspected him!

Thinking of this, the sweat on Cai Ruheng's forehead rushed out.

"Lord Cai, the emperor has already left, aren't you going to get up?" Rong Che walked in front of Cai Ruheng, looked down at him condescendingly, and took in the panic and weakness in his eyes, but he still had a faint smile on his face, and said to Cai Ruheng, "Since the imperial brother asked this king to investigate the case, some things have to be bothered by Lord Cai." ”

Cai Ruheng looked up at Rong Che in front of him, obviously seeing that he was smiling gently, but for some reason he felt a chill.

The matter of the palace examination soon spread, there were so many candidates present at that time, it was impossible to hide it, and on the second day, the whole Chang'an already knew about Taixue's fraud, and they all spit on Taixue.

In contrast, this is the Egret Academy, Shen Qingyi won the champion twice, it can be seen that his true talent and learning, and the other people of the Egret Academy did not make a big mistake, becoming the academy with the most high school scholars this year, and becoming the academy that all students want to go to the most.

Ji Yanning was not surprised to learn that Shen Qingyi was the top student in high school, but no one in the Liu family would mention this matter in front of her, after all, Shen Qingyi was her fiancé, and now that he won the top prize, I am afraid that she will feel pity.

Ji Yanning didn't know what other people were thinking, after all, she really didn't have any thoughts about Shen Qingyi.

However, the person in charge of investigating the case was Rong Che, which made Ji Yanning a little surprised.

Rong Che had the assistance of Dali Temple, and the case was not slow, and he directly interrogated all those candidates, and recruited a gentleman who was teaching in Taixue, that gentleman was not a strict mouth, and Cai Ruheng had already been recruited before waiting for the big punishment.

The imperial examination is the most important way for the country to select talents, and leaking questions undermines the fairness of the examination, which is a big crime, and Cai Ruheng was sent to prison.

The candidates were also barred from taking the imperial examinations.

The eight candidates from Taixue are all children of official eunuchs, even if they don't take the road of the imperial examination, they can get mixed with an official and a half-job, but the history of fraud is always disgraceful, Rong Liang asked Rong Che to investigate the matter, and did not let a certain prince take over, it seems that he also knows that although this case is easy to investigate, it is also easy to offend people or win people over.

Rong Che has already reached the crown, but he is still a prince without a position, so naturally he doesn't care about offending some ministers in the court.

He is business-oriented, and those who want to find a way back naturally can't complain about him.

Ji Yanning was free today, and went to Caiwei Hall with Pearl.

Counted the medicinal materials in the shop, and asked the shopkeeper to add more cherished medicines, she didn't open a pharmacy to make money, even if she saved more rare medicinal materials for her to make poison, it didn't hurt. However, Caiweitang's business is much better than other pharmacies, and it will not lose money.

Sometimes Ji Yanning would put some of the ointment he had concocted in Caiweitang to sell, and the effect was good, and the number of people who came to ask for medicine gradually increased.

However, the opening time of Caiweitang was too short, and it did not pose any threat to other medicine shops, so it was always safe.

Ji Yanning had just come out of the back warehouse with the pearl, and happened to see a small guy coming to grab the medicine.

"Do you have arsenic for sale here?" asked the little guy.

The guy in the pharmacy frowned slightly, looked at him and said, "What do you buy arsenic for? This is a poison, and it is generally not sold, unless you have a doctor's prescription and you have to write down your identity, we will sell it to you, and there are also requirements for the weight of the government, otherwise if you use arsenic to harm people, won't our shop become an accomplice?"

That little guy obviously didn't expect that it would be so troublesome to buy arsenic, and looking at the guy's appearance of looking at himself, he was also a little weak in his heart.

He said: "It was our master who bought a dog for his own use, and the dog bit someone, and he couldn't be left in the house, and there was only one way to die, but the master raised it for two years, and he had some affection, so he was reluctant to kill it like this, so he sent me over to buy a bag of poison." ”

He was right, but the guy at the pharmacy was still a little worried.

Ji Yanning walked to the counter and said to the little guy: "If your master still has some feelings for that dog, it is better to kill it, this arsenic poison is not easy to die." After taking this poison, it will bleed from the seven orifices, and the internal organs will be torn apart, and the pain will be endless, and it is simply impossible to survive and die, and finally die hopelessly and hopelessly within half an hour. ”

Her tone was very soft, but the words she said made the little guy furious, and he couldn't help but tremble.

"You...... How would you know?" The little guy was obviously frightened, but he had some doubts about Ji Yanning.

Ji Yanning's eyes were crooked, and he said, "Because I'm the doctor here." ”

The little guy came back to his senses, and saw that she was not very old and a girl's family, so he naturally didn't believe that she was a doctor, but he was still afraid in his heart, and said to the pharmacy guy: "I don't take medicine anymore." ”

As he spoke, he hurried out and walked straight outside.

Pearl followed behind Ji Yanning and said, "Why is Miss interested in teasing a little girl? ”

Ji Yanning's eyes turned cold, and he said, "He wants to buy arsenic not to feed dogs, but for people." ”

"Huh?" Pearl was shocked, "isn't that poisoning someone else?"

Cai Weitang's guy heard Ji Yanning say this, and interjected: "I also think that he is weird, and Miss guessed something." ”

Ji Yanning didn't say anything else, that little guy didn't look like some kind of traitorous person, and he was still very entangled and helpless when he bought medicine.

Since he was afraid and hesitated, Ji Yanning took it as a help, sometimes a single thought could ruin a person's life.

Ji Yanning was about to walk out of the shop, when someone suddenly rushed in and almost bumped into Ji Yanning.

"Doctor!" came a maid, who rushed in, looking for a doctor.

The guy in the shop said: "The doctor is naturally sitting in the hall, if there is a patient, he will bring it over, and our doctor in Caiweitang will not come out of the clinic." ”

The maid listened to the man's words and said, "Our master is outside, ask the doctor to show him!"

Ji Yanning looked outside, and sure enough, he saw a person being carried in.

Behind him was a girl crying sadly.

Ji Yanning felt a little familiar, thought about it for a while, and then remembered that it was Feng Dai he had seen before.

When they first met, Feng Dai was embarrassed by the fifth princess, and was taken away by Li Xiaoyun with her.

Ji Yanning didn't expect to see this girl again, it would be in such a scene.

The man on the stretcher looked like he was about forty years old, his body was a little thin, his face was blue, his lips were black, and even the color of his nails was abnormal, Ji Yanning knew at a glance that he was poisoned.

Feng Dai didn't notice Ji Yanning, and she didn't have any other thoughts to pay attention to others now.

She looked up at the guys and shopkeepers in Caiwei Hall, her voice trembled a little and she asked very anxiously, "Doctor, please treat my father quickly!"
