These thoughts lingered in Chu Ye's mind, and it was only half a cup of tea.

In fact, when Chu Ye's steps stopped in front of the booth where he lifted the paper, the tissue paper had not yet been put away by him.

"What's that?" Chu Ye lowered his voice, the examination room was heavy, if he made a loud noise, it would inevitably attract the attention of other movers, one would disturb them to do the papers, and the other was that Chu Ye didn't want to ruin the future of this mover.

After a pause, he looked up with an embarrassed smile on his face. He trembled and handed the piece of paper in his hand to Chu Ye's eyes, "My lord, the villain's hometown is far away from the imperial capital, this is the travel fee prepared for the villain in the villain's house, and the villain forgot to hand it in for a while." As he spoke, he gritted his teeth, as if he had made great determination, and whispered to Chu Ye, "If the adults feel that there is a problem, take it!" ”

Chu Ye's eyes darkened when he saw the silver ticket with a denomination of one thousand taels.

What kind of travel expenses, which student goes to Beijing to catch the exam, it will cost 1,000 taels of silver. To put it bluntly, it's not just bribes, it's used to bribe the examiner!

As far as Chu Ye knows, there are three main ways to cheat in the current dynasty, one is coercion. This method is mostly seen in the township test. Most of these two exams were held locally, and the candidates were given by the governor of the state. If there are some local forces in the student's family, it is not impossible to threaten the magistrate to directly give the candidate a show.

The second type is much more elegant, bribing some money, letting the questioner leak the topic, and then asking someone to catch the knife and write an article in advance, so that it can be regarded as a clear road. The gunman and the questioner took the money, so naturally they would not go out and talk nonsense, and the student himself did take the exam, even if it was a handwriting, it was written by himself, so it was naturally foolproof!

The third type is the kind that Chu Ye is encountering now: direct bribery.

The examinee handed over the silver directly to the examiner, and the examiner accepted it quietly, secretly made a mark on the person's paper, and gave a high score directly when the paper was marked. There is no need to be the first name, and it will not arouse suspicion if you don't look at the line.

Chu Ye clenched his fists and snorted coldly.

No wonder Liu Hanlin and Qian Hanlin joined forces to coax him here, and what did they say "satisfactory", this side is generous, she only has a second-grade Shangshu of 700 stones a year, of course she will be very satisfied!

"Someone," Chu Ye lowered his voice, quickly took the silver ticket with one hand, pinched it with two fingers, and held it in front of him, "Xichang raised his son Wu Junpeng, entered the Tribute Academy with private belongings, and wanted to bribe the examiner. According to the third part of the "Jin Law Discussion", one hundred and twenty-eight, the official ordered someone to take it down, a hundred rods, and wear a flail for three days! ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the Gongyuan.

Liu Hanlin and Qian Hanlin were even more dumbfounded. How could they have thought that this airborne examiner was not here to make money!

As soon as Chu Ye's words fell, the soldiers on duty outside the tribute courtyard stepped on neat steps and broke in with halberds in hand.

Wu Junpeng shouted repeatedly: "Lord Liu, Lord Liu, save me!" Lord Liu! ”

Liu Hanlin's throat moved, and he hurriedly rushed out. He threw Wu Junpeng a slightly calm look and motioned for him to shut up quickly. He turned to Chu Ye again and said, "Lord Chu, it's just that Wu Juren didn't notice it for a while and brought in the silver ticket. It's not a big deal. Let this rod be forfeited. ”

Chu Ye snorted coldly, looked at Wu Junpeng, who had been held up by the soldiers, and let out a sneer, "Don't notice for a while? No big deal? Lord Liu, as soon as your two lips are closed, you will define bribery as a trivial matter. If this official remembers correctly, you are a Jinshi in Cheng'an for 40 years, and you have studied hard for decades, don't you know what etiquette means to those poor students! ”

I don't know if it's because the sun is too full, or Liu Hanlin is too weak-hearted, and he is sweating all over his head. He raised his sleeves to wipe the cold sweat off his head, as if he couldn't control the muscles on his face, the corners of his mouth kept twitching slightly, his eyes flickered, and he whispered: "My lord, I'm afraid I don't know, this Wu Juren is the second son of the Wu family in Xichang." ”

Chu Ye's eyes revealed danger, Liu Hanlin met her gaze, only to feel that another trace of cold qi spread from the soles of his feet, obviously he was sweating hot just now, and now he was trembling a little.

In the Wu family in Xichang, the smile on Chu Ye's face was even worse.

She has been in the Western Jin Dynasty for five years, and of course she knows what status the Xichang Wu family has in the Western Jin Dynasty. Whether it is Dongyao or Beiyi, the veins are all in the hands of the imperial court, and there is no distinction between private salt and official salt. But the Western Jin Dynasty is different, in recent years, because of the shortcomings of the tuntian system, the tax revenue has decreased year by year, and the treasury deficit is serious. The imperial court allocated four ore veins and sold them to several major merchants, and the Wu family was one of them!

The Wu family started by selling rice, and now has two private salt mines in their hands, and they also hold most of the country's commercial salt shops. It can be said that in the territory of the Western Jin Dynasty, as long as there is a place to sell salt, there is the existence of his Wu family's industry.

But so what!

Since she Chu Ye is the main examiner, she will never allow anyone to cheat under her nose!

"Big ...... The lord ...... "Seeing that Chu Ye was silent for a long time, Liu Hanlin thought that Chu Ye had changed his mind after learning about Wu Junpeng's life experience.

Simply this matter did not make a fuss in the Tribute Courtyard, and he was still confident that the news would be locked in the Tribute Courtyard. It's really not good, just pull any unlucky person to be a scapegoat.

Chu Ye snorted coldly, looking directly at Liu Hanlin's eyes with a strange light, and his lips lightly opened and spit out two words: "Take it!" ”

Just two words, it is called the second son of the noble Xichang Wu family to be stillborn!

Liu Hanlin's eyes widened, he didn't seem to expect that Chu Ye would really dare to let the second son of the Wu family in Xichang be flailed at the gate of the Gongyuan and displayed to the public for three days!

"Chu Ye!" He also didn't care about the rules of decency, and called Chu Ye's name loudly, "You dare to ......"

"What does this official dare to do?" Chu Ye interrupted him coldly, and the words that came out of his mouth were like frost blades, piercing straight into Liu Hanlin's heart, "As the main examiner of this subject, this official ordered someone to take down the cheating student and punish him according to the law, is there anything wrong?" ”

Chu Ye was asking him, but Liu Hanlin couldn't answer at all, he opened his mouth, his chest fell together, and he gasped hard, like a dying fish.

The sun is poisonous, but in Liu Hanlin's eyes, what is even more vicious is Chu Ye's mocking gaze.

"Whew, whew, whew!"

Liu Hanlin gasped heavily, the sweat dripping from his forehead stung the corners of his eyes, and the soldiers who were ordered to come to take down Wu Juren also put their eyes on Liu Hanlin's face, as if there was something rare on his face.

Liu Hanlin fell directly in front of their eyes in such a group of "insidious and vicious" eyes!

"Lord Liu!"

Qian Hanlin had been silently paying attention to the movements in the courtyard in the lobby, watching Liu Hanlin's legs go weak and he could no longer sit still after he collapsed in the courtyard.

He was like the wind under his feet, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in the courtyard.

"Lord Liu! How did you fall down at such a young age! He cried and grabbed the ground, howling in a chaotic manner, which meant something, "You have always worked diligently, and often said to us what 'eat the king's fortune and bear the king's worries', but now...... How now! ”

He put his resentful eyes on Chu Ye's body, as if Chu Ye had forced him, a "dutiful" colleague, to come here.

Chu Ye was unmoved, and looked at Qian Shilang's lame acting skills with a sarcastic face

He has been an official in the court for many years, but he made a lot of noise in the tribute courtyard like an ignorant woman, and attracted onlookers again and again. This court of the Western Jin Dynasty should be really good!

Chu Ye glanced at it, most of the people in the Tribute Courtyard craned their necks to look at what was happening in the courtyard, but only the one she was optimistic about before still answered the question with peace of mind "without hearing anything outside the window".

She asked people to come into the hospital to arrest them in order to make an example of chickens and monkeys. Since Liu Hanlin said that the move here "will definitely satisfy her", it means that Wu Junpeng is not the only one who has silver in his pocket. It's a pity that Liu Chengxian actually played this hand with her, so don't blame him for not saving face for his colleagues.

Chu Ye flicked his sleeves and said coldly to those soldiers: "Drag Liu Shilang down together, since he is dizzy, pull him outside the tribute courtyard and pour a few buckets of water to make him sober!" ”

Qian Hanlin was stunned for a moment, subconsciously straightened up, and looked at Chu Ye's eyes full of disbelief.

How dare she!

Let the deputy chief examiner be pulled out of the Tribute Academy, is this a joke that makes everyone in the whole Imperial Capital come to see their Hanlin Academy!

At the moment when he got up, several soldiers dragged Liu Hanlin out with their hands and feet. Qian Hanlin immediately turned around to protect him, but he pounced. He also fell to the ground and pounced on!

Wu Junpeng watched Liu Hanlin being taken off by the soldiers, and suddenly remembered the words warned by the elders in the family before, "There is no official who does not steal, if there is something that cannot be done, just throw the money." As if he had caught a life-saving straw, he shouted at Chu Ye: "Lord Chu! Lord Chu! My family has money, my family has money! I'll give you all the money, all for you! I beg you to let me go, let me go! ”

The more Chu Ye listened, the more angry he became, gritting his teeth and ordering, "Don't drag it away yet!" ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers shouted in response. They were all children of poor families, and because of the conquest of military service, they were sent to guard the gate of the tribute courtyard. Now when I heard the second son of the Wu family in Xichang openly declare how rich his family was, I was not angry for a long time. Now that he had Chu Ye's orders, he dragged Wu Junpeng out with a drag. Let Wu Junpeng's unwilling voice echo in the tribute courtyard. Forcefully shackled him to the gate of the Tribute Courtyard!

And until Wu Junpeng was forcibly detained on the wooden flail, he still couldn't figure out how there could be a stinky stone like Chu Ye in this world!

Chu Ye's chin was raised slightly, and he raised his voice to admonish: "The etiquette is set up for the country to choose the pillars, not a place where rich families try to hide from the world. Since the official is instructed to invigilate the examination, he must ensure the smooth progress of the current ceremony. If there are any more people who ignore the laws of the imperial court and try to bribe the examiners, this Wu Juzi of Xichang is your example! ”

With that, Chu Ye flicked his sleeves and turned around and returned to the hall. She took a few steps and stopped on the steps. Turning around, he snorted coldly, and said with disdain: "Why, is it possible that Qian Hanlin also feels dizzy and wants to be 'sober and sober'?" ”
