The chief examiner was very satisfied with Bai Xiaoshan's attitude and their generosity, and after sighing silently, he agreed.

Several officials went to search Bai Xiaoshan and Liu Xusheng's houses respectively, the quilt was torn, and the finished papers were also ruined.

There were also two official errands, who searched Bai Xiaoshan and Liu Xusheng respectively.

"My lord, I found it." When the official searched Bai Xiaoshan's boots, his arm shook, and when he took out his hand again, a miniature version of the test question was held in the hand of the official and immediately presented to the examiner.

Bai Xiaoshan's eyes shrank, whether there was anything in his own shoes, it was naturally very clear, and it was obvious that the official had moved his hands and feet.

"This is a frame-up!" Liu Xu shouted angrily.

"My lord, this man has also found something." Just as Liu Xusheng was about to raise his legs, the official who searched him shouted, took the same thing as Bai Xiaoshan's body, and presented it to the examiner.

Liu Xusheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that someone was trying to harm them.

Just wanted to explain something, but saw Bai Xiaoshan shaking his head lightly at him, Liu Xusheng suppressed the anger in his heart and did not do anything out of shape.

"Bring the test papers of the two of them." The examiner glanced at the two of them in a complicated way, and did not hide his disappointment.

The official quickly handed over the crumpled test papers, and after comparing them, the examiner waved his hand and said, "Escort them down and hand them over to Jingzhao Mansion Yin for review." ”

"Wait." When the official was about to step forward, Bai Xiaoshan opened his mouth and pulled Liu Xusheng to kneel, "Students don't dare to delay other people's scientific examinations, but for students, this spring festival is also a matter of life." Students are not talented, and if they want to prove their innocence, they also ask adults to fulfill them. ”

Bai Xiaoshan's attitude of not being humble or arrogant made the examiner appreciate it a little, but he felt that what happened just now might be a bit boring.

And what Bai Xiaoshan said is very right, so many candidates are watching, if they don't even give a chance to defend themselves at this time, they are afraid that it will make people feel impetuous, which will affect the results of this scientific examination.

At that time, the emperor was dissatisfied, and he, the chief examiner, was also responsible.

You must know that Bai Xiaoshan is a person who has been named by the Son of Heaven, and he will pay more attention to his affairs.

There is also the auspicious county lord......

It was just a few breaths, and the examiner had already made a decision, so he moved a chair over and tried the case on the spot.

And the examiner also ordered someone to send a letter to the palace, such a big thing, naturally it is necessary to listen to it.

The Imperial Study.

When the emperor got the news, his face immediately sank.

Whether it was Bai Xiaoshan's fraud or someone trying to assassinate him, this was something that the emperor could not tolerate.

I just re-investigated Qiu Yan's fraud case, but I didn't expect anyone to dare to do this, it was simply provoking the majesty of the Son of Heaven.

"Let Jingzhao Mansion Yin, Dali Siqing, and Shangshu of the Criminal Department go together to assist in the trial! If the case can't be tried in an hour, let them go home and retire! The emperor smashed the teacup angrily, and his face was gloomy and terrible.

In the harem, the concubines who always pay attention to the emperor's dynamics also receive information, and most of them have nothing to do with themselves.

After a slight hesitation, Concubine Xiao immediately ordered someone to send a letter to Bai Ling, so that she could make plans early.

The queen asked people to send a message to the prince, but as for what the content was, outsiders didn't know.

On Chen Guifei's side, Princess Suya gloated and said, "Look at how that peasant girl will have the face to come out to meet people in the future, the third brother gave me a sigh of relief this time!" ”

"Shut up, what does this have to do with your third brother!" Chen Guifei reprimanded.

If it weren't for the fact that when they were talking about things that day, they would never have told this simple-minded princess, even if it was their own people.

However, Princess Suya only heard part of it, and after she broke in, Chen Guifei and the third prince tacitly agreed not to continue the topic, even if Princess Suya wanted to ask, it was just perfunctory.

"No one will hear what the mother is nervous about." Princess Suya muttered dissatisfiedly.

Chen Guifei loves Princess Suya, but there is no comparison between the three princes, otherwise Princess Suya is definitely the one who can be abandoned.

"You have been in the palace for me honestly for the past few days, except for coming to me, you are not allowed to move around, and you are not allowed to talk nonsense with anyone." Seeing that Princess Suya did not have the heart of repentance, Chen Guifei shouted coldly.

"The mother concubine only has the third brother in her heart, I just say that everything is wrong, I hate the mother concubine!" Princess Suya ran out angrily.

Chen Guifei stared at the back of Princess Suya with hatred and hatred, her angry facial features were deformed, and finally ordered: "Let people keep an eye on the princess, if she dares to be disobedient, she will bring people to the palace." ”

The henchman replied and went down to do something.

When Bai Ling received the news, his face was extremely ugly, but he still said politely: "Thank you Xiao Gongzi for coming to tell me, I believe in my brother's character, and he will definitely not do such a thing that violates the law." Please also ask Xiao Gongzi to thank Concubine Xiao on my behalf, this friendship, Bai Ling wrote it down. ”

This is the first time since Xiao Mu gave Bai Ling an apology gift because of Xiao Muqing's matter.

Xiao Mu, who originally wanted to help, heard Bai Ling's alienated words, so he said: "If the county lord has a place to use, just send someone to find Xiao and leave." ”

"Come on, send Xiao Gongzi." Bai Ling commanded.

Although Bai Ling believed that his younger brother was innocent, he also understood that sometimes, evidence could be fabricated.

But now Bai Ling can't see anyone, and he can't enter the examination room, so he can't help Bai Xiaoshan and Liu Xusheng at all.

"Begonia, let people keep an eye on the examination room, and report any news to me immediately. This matter was hidden from my family first, especially from my mother's side. Bai Ling commanded in a deep voice.

"Yes." Begonia answered, and disappeared into the night when she left the hall.

Bai Ling was not at ease, and after returning to the room, he immediately hid in the space.

Although there is a distance from the house to the examination room, if you use the space to pass, it will definitely be extremely mentally draining, but Bai Ling is worried about his younger brother, and this is the only way.

Not to mention Bai Ling's going to the examination room, after Xiao Mu left the Bai Mansion, he instructed the secret guard: "Use the power of the secret to investigate the matter of Bai Xiaoshan, and settle it at any cost if necessary." ”

Exam.

Because three more adults came to try the case together, the entire examination room was boiling.

The candidates are not allowed to go out of the room they are in, and there are officials who are responsible for maintaining order to take care of them, otherwise it may be even more chaotic than the vegetable market.

And some candidates with poor psychological quality have no intention of continuing the exam, and they are afraid that Chunqiu will have to start again in the end, and the exam questions at that time may not be able to answer well.

There are also students from poor families who are worried about the problem of entanglement.

"Tell my lord, these two inkstones have indeed been soaked in a special potion. The small ones have been tested with other inkstones, and no matter what kind of inkstones they are, they will not produce this aroma. And the small characters in those two copies are not the same as the ink on the exam paper. ”

The people brought by the three adults, as well as the people of the chief examiner, were tested separately and gave the same results.

"It's that the inkstone is different, but the handwriting on this cheat sheet is the same as yours, how can we explain it?" The Criminal Department Shangshu asked.

"The world is so big that there are no longer a few people who can imitate handwriting. And students often copy or copy books to memorize their coursework, and they have never destroyed it, so it is not difficult for those who want to get it.

It is precisely because my cousin's test paper has been replaced, so my sister specially developed this medicinal liquid to make an inkstone, which has been used for half a year. If you don't believe it, you can go to the academy and find a few of our calligraphy and paintings, and you will know the authenticity of them at a check.

The student is not talented, and he and his cousin are both from a farming family, and they also want to know who it is, and they have to calculate the students carefully. Bai Xiaoshan replied with a puzzled expression.
