When everything is ready, it is already an hour later.

The yamen of Jingzhao Yin's Mansion is brightly lit.

The students stood in front of the public hall in an orderly manner, and the students who were too far away to watch the scene sat on the ground, waiting for the news to come back from the front.

Meng Jing, who was rumored to the court, looked around, and an inexplicable chill welled up in his heart.

How could there be so many candidates standing outside the public hall watching him lively?

And the handsome man next to the main seat in front of him, he had seen it.

On the day of Yangzhou City, the man who appeared with the people of Shen Mansion.

The noble and lofty bearing on his body makes people think of being as small as dust for no reason.

Who is he?

Just in a daze, I suddenly heard a startled sound of 'pop'.

"Is the defendant Meng Jing in the hall?"

Meng Jing was so frightened that his legs weakened and knelt down: "Xiaosheng is Meng Jing." ”

The corners of Zou Shigao's mouth twitched.

According to the laws of Daqing, Meng Jing, who is a tribute student, does not need to kneel to him in the court.

But since he knelt down, he didn't bother to remind Meng Jing, so he continued: "Meng Jing, this official asks you, why will you try to gain fame in this year's exam?" ”

Meng Jing raised his head: "The junior student took the third place in the exam." ”

At this time, the candidates standing outside the public hall muttered and discussed.

Meng Jing couldn't hear the topic of everyone's chatter clearly, but felt that everyone's eyes were focused on him, and he was flustered for a while.

Could it be that he went to sleep on the day of the release of the list, and everyone knew about the painting boat singer, right?

It's a bit embarrassing for some reason.

If the emperor found out, would he take away his fame in anger?

In a panic, I heard Zou Shigao continue: "Meng Jing, this official asks you, you deserve to be the third tribute? ”

Qin Ze and Qin Xu sat under Zou Shigao to listen, and now they all heard that Zou Shigao was guiding Meng Jing to make a confession.

Qin Xu coughed lightly, wanting to remind Meng Jing to deal with it carefully.

I didn't know Meng Jing and didn't know Qin Xu's identity, so I didn't pay attention to Qin Xu's gestured eyes at all.

He responded to Zou Shigao with a little panic: "Xiaosheng is naturally, yes." ”

"Since it is, let's prove it to everyone." Zou Shigao's voice was calm and majestic, and people would unconsciously follow his request.

"My lord," Meng Jing was a little confused at this time, "What do you mean by proof?" ”

Zou Shigao glanced at the students outside the hall, stroked his beard and said, "Just memorize the answer to the theory you can try, and let the students see if you deserve it." ”

Qin Ze secretly screamed in his heart.

Plaintiff Luo Qi sued Meng Jing for cheating, and the only evidence was that Meng Jing asked him to ghostwrite.

The whereabouts of the examination papers are unknown, and in order to prove this, only Meng Jing can use it as evidence if he writes the answer to the policy again.

If he frankly let Meng Jing know about Luo Qi's complaint, and he wrote down the answer to the policy at will, this case would not have been able to be truly tried at all.

It was Zou Shigao who found a way to induce Meng Jing to write the answer to his own strategy.

Although the students outside the court did not understand Zou Shigao's true intentions, they coaxed very cooperatively.

Qin Ze glanced at Zou Shigao, and when he saw his confident appearance, he thought that he had already arranged for the students outside the hall to pass through the qi.

Only Qin Xu had an angry face.

If Meng Jing really wrote another copy of the exam paper, Cheng Qizheng's matter would be completely unsafe.

So, he couldn't help but get up and questioned: "Lord Zou, it seems that the process of this king's trial of your case is not right. ”

Zou Shigao felt a sigh in his heart.

King Jin came uninvited.

I thought that I came to understand the case because of the responsibility of the supervisor, but now Zou Shigao tasted a little wrong as soon as he opened his mouth.

Meng Jingzheng was so fooled by him that he was about to write the answer to the strategy, and it would be a bad thing if he let the King of Jin wake up.

It was just a look between the eyes of the two sides, and Zou Shigao had already surged several thoughts in his heart.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Back to King Jin, this trial was held overnight, and it was not carried out according to the normal process. If the prince has an opinion on the way of adjudicating the case, he can put it forward when he goes to court tomorrow for the ministers to discuss and explore together. ”

"It's not early now," he stopped looking at Qin Xu after speaking, and said to Meng Jing, "Meng Jing, you go and write down the answers to the strategy, so that all the students can have a look." ”

After speaking, Zou Shigao quickly gave his right-hand man a look.

The right-hand man immediately stepped forward and took Meng Jing to the side room.

Qin Xu got up and shouted, "Wait." ”

However, the right-hand man didn't seem to hear it, and walked quickly with Meng Jing.

"You! Stand for this king! Qin Xu was so angry that he smoked.

Qin Ze got up and patted him: "Second Emperor Brother, there are still many students outside the hall, don't be excited." ”

When Qin Xu heard this, he glanced at his students in unison, and sat down again in his robe.

Zou Shigao hurriedly smiled: "This official's subordinates are a little behind, don't be angry with King Jin." It's already very late at this time, why don't you go back to the palace to rest first, and after the case is tried, the official will let the official send the results to the Jin Palace? ”

Qin Xu glanced at him coldly and sat upright: "No need." ”

Meng Jing memorized the answer to the policy with apprehension.

As for the answer to the strategy, he memorized it well as Luo Qi after he wrote it for him, and it was not difficult to rewrite it.

Now he just wants to write this wonderful answer, so that those students outside the hall who are jealous of his fame will see that he will try third, and it is not in vain to be famous.

Waiting for Meng Jing to return to the court with the answer, Zou Shishou took the scroll and read it roughly, showing a comfortable smile.

"Someone, pass on the plaintiff Luo Qi!"

Meng Jing was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but call out: "Luo Qi? How could it be Luo Qi? ”

However, no one cared about his doubts at all.

Luo Qi was led up, and his eyes were red with anger when he saw Meng Jing.

The anger he endured, under Zou Shigao's questioning, slowly explained the cheating.

"Xiaosheng was the second in Yangzhou City last autumn, and this year he is dedicated to participating in the examination to gain fame."

Under the threat of Fu Yuanyuan, Meng Jing did not dare to act rashly against Luo Qi's brothers and sisters in Yangzhou City.

After coming to the capital, Meng Jing entrusted him to visit Cheng Qizheng, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to get the questions of this session of the examination.

I got the question, but how to answer it to get an excellent score is a problem.

So, Meng Jing set his sights on Luo Qi, who was outstanding in learning.

He discussed the topic with Luo Qi in the name of communication knowledge, and after deceiving the answer from Luo Qi, he drugged Luo Qi to vomit and diarrhea so that he couldn't go to the exam.

Luo Qi burst into tears after complaining, which made the students outside the hall feel the same way.

For a while, the Meng Jing became the target of public criticism.

However, the policy he wrote just now was exactly the same as the article Luo Qi submitted earlier, and there was no way to deny it.

"He cheats! Will try to cheat! ”

"It's too much, Lord Zou wants to avenge Luo Qixue!"

The indignation of the crowd has been difficult to extinguish for a long time.
