Qingchi cleaned up his mess of emotions and continued to remain silent.

He was secretly observing, watching how the officials of the Ministry of Rites followed the process and how they exchanged heads.

See if they have passed the news to the candidates, and see if they have begun to attach themselves to that Liu Shilang.

The examination room was very quiet, only the sound of grinding ink was heard, one after another.

After a while, all you could hear was the sound of the tip of the pen rubbing against the paper.

Some people write longitudinally, some people brace their cheeks and think hard, and some people bite the pen.

Writing an article has always been difficult, and proposition composition requires careful thinking and serious response.

Just when everyone was busy answering the questions, someone suddenly shouted: "Examiner, someone is cheating." ”

With this shout, the spring duck entered the climax.

The candidates stopped their pens and looked at one person.

The man was red-faced and defended: "I didn't, I didn't."

You see, don't accuse people of innocence out of thin air. ”

The candidate next to him stood up excitedly, waved his arms and shouted, "It's him, it's him."

Lord Examiner, he cheated, and obviously saw a cheat sheet, and it was in his sleeve. ”

The candidate in the back also responded: "I also saw it, it's him, Lord Examiner, arrest him quickly." ”

Cheating in this exam is also a common thing, and there are candidates with flexible brains who buy exam tips that others have made in advance, hide them in advance, and bring them into the examination room.

Although it is not necessary to guess the exam questions, the questions change and change every year, and they are just those routines.

What's more, they directly bribe the examiner to buy the questions.

Then I handed it over to those Confucian students who were used to dealing with exams, and just took the article and copied it directly.

But these things are often in the ordinary imperial examinations, and there is no cheating in the subject examinations.

After all, the references are all incumbent officials and junjie recommended by the minister, and they often have some real talents, and most of them are decent people.

Not to mention being caught cheating in this exam, it is suspected of being a shadow for a lifetime.

Some officials with integrity often do not allow their children to respond to the examination during their tenure, for fear of being suspected of leaking exams, accommodating examiners, and bribing and grading papers.

There was cheating in the subject exam, which made Liu Shilang very embarrassed.

Although there is often no tradition of body searches in the subject examinations, candidates are still nominally examined.

Now that this fraud has been exposed, it is naturally due to the omission of the inspection of the Imperial Examination Department of the Ministry of Rites.

And as the highest-ranking official present in this exam, he has an unshirkable responsibility.

Liu Shilang still regretted it in his heart, he knew that if Ruan Shilang came with him, it was all this villain who was greedy for merit, and persuaded him that the supervision of the science field was a beautiful difference, and everyone in high school in the future would have to respect the master.

Who knew that something happened today, and it was himself who was hanged.

It can't be that they did it on purpose, as he spoke, the thoughts in Liu Shilang's heart had already turned a few times.

Seeing the situation, he had to come out to clean up, so he had to come over to take a look.

Liu Shilang saw that the examinee was very angry, and handed the color to the little official next to him, who picked up the roster, looked at it, and came up to say a few words in his ear.

After listening, Liu Shilang knew that this person had no foundation and could be used as a raft, and his heart was relieved.

immediately changed the color, and before he could speak, he had a cold face, which made people afraid.

"Bold and crazy, he even cheated during the palace test, come to someone, take it."

"Wronged, I wronged, my lord...... My lord, I was really wronged. ”

This candidate cried and cried, and came up to tear Liu Shilang's robe.

The posture was really ugly, Liu Shilang was disdainful in his heart, and his face became more and more ugly.

The candidate next to him was still shouting: "My lord, it's in his sleeve, we all saw it, hurry up and search for him." ”

This time, it seems that there is no way to explain if you don't search your body.

Liu Shilang was impatient, and said to the warrior in front of the palace, "Come on, then search for it, this seat will not wronged a good person, nor will it let go of a bad person." ”

The samurai were originally on an errand in front of the emperor, and they have always been above the top, even if they are high-ranking officials, as long as they commit a crime, they will be pulled down in court to play the board.

In front of these candidates, they are naturally even more unsentimental.

Most of these people who can participate in the examination are petty officials who are silent and low-level.

Those officials above the sixth grade do not need to take this kind of examination, as long as they stand on the right team and follow the achievements of their superiors, they can always be promoted, so why bother to compete in the field.

It was too late, and the warriors in front of the palace took off the robes of that candidate.

The middle coat inside is snow-white, but the sleeves are densely covered with words.

The candidate's frightened face turned white, and in a panic, he knelt down and kowtowed to admit his mistake.

The examiners haven't done anything yet, but they have made people next to them laugh, and I am afraid that they will never be shameless in the future.

Liu Shilang announced in front of everyone: "Candidate Lu, cheating, disregarding the emperor's grace.

, get rid of your fame, drive out of the examination room, and never use it."

This Lu Sheng seemed to be deflated all of a sudden, slumped on the ground, and the warrior in front of the hall was about to go out with him.

Suddenly, I listened to the thin voice of the chief manager and said slowly: "Slow ......"

Liu Shilang was unhappy in his heart, thinking that he had just started to send fraudulent candidates, and it was within his duty, this big eunuch came out to make trouble, how could I save face in the officialdom in the future?

He made the color and asked the warriors in front of the palace to act quickly.

Who knows, this time he made the wrong decision.

These warriors in front of the palace know the status of the chief administrator in the palace, and if they can see the emperor every day, they can find fault with you at any opportunity.

Therefore, as soon as they heard Qingchi's voice, they immediately put down the limp Lu Sheng and let him cool on the cold ground.

Qingchi came forward and took a closer look at that Lu Sheng, although his face was unfamiliar, but the dense words on his sleeve were articles, this was not the kind of random guessing, and he knew that the problem was very serious.

"Liu Shilang, you can see clearly, his sleeve is exactly the topic that came out this time, how can you let him go easily.

His Majesty asked, how should we explain that the officials of your Imperial Examination Department of the Ministry of Rites are on an errand like this? ”

Liu Shilang heard him mention the emperor, although he was angry, he did feel that he was a little reckless, and did not interrogate him in detail.

"What the chief manager said is reasonable, then put this Lu Sheng in prison and let the Criminal Department interrogate him strictly."

"The Criminal Department? You foreign officials may not be able to do this job well.

I think it's better to leave it to Nijo Division, and I'm sure I can ask for an understanding. ”

Saying that, he walked towards that Lu Sheng: "Crazy Sheng, can you be convinced that my father-in-law is dealing with it like this?" ”

That Lu Sheng was already frightened and his legs were weak, how could he speak, he could only be escorted to Nijo Division by the samurai in front of the palace.

The weather was originally clear, but suddenly there was a thunderstorm, and after a while, it rained for the first time this spring.
