It was Du Jinning's side that made the noise, and Liang Xiankuan had already paid attention to the movement here. Seeing this, his expression became solemn, he put the pen in his hand on the pen stand, and then pressed the test paper with a paperweight, staring at this side for a moment, ready to get up and testify to Du Jinning once something was wrong.

Liu Xianling walked up to Du Jinning and asked the officer, "What's the matter?" ”

The messenger pointed to the test paper that Du Jinning was carrying in his hand: "This test paper, this candidate ......" He pointed to the old man, "It was blown by the wind." ”

Although Du Jinning was a little unhappy, he was not too nervous, and said calmly: "A gust of wind blew just now, and a roll directly pasted on my face. As she spoke, she spread her hands out, looking innocent.

"Yes, yes, I didn't press the test paper well just now, the wind was too strong, and the test paper was blown away. I also exclaimed. The old man had probably never encountered such a thing, and the consequences of cheating were so serious that he couldn't bear the consequences at all, and his voice trembled at this time, and sweat oozed from his forehead.

Du Jinning looked at Liu County's order with a pair of dark eyes, begging in his heart not to let himself encounter a confused county order, and inexplicably charged himself with cheating. Although even if he can defend himself afterwards, he was not directly convicted of cheating in the scientific examination, but this year's county exam will definitely be invalidated.

You can't pass this year's county exam, and you can't participate in the later prefectural and hospital exams. The college examination is twice a year. If you can't take the test this year, you will have to take the test the year after tomorrow. At that time, she will be fourteen years old, and when it comes to the period of men's voice change and women's development, it will be inconvenient for women to dress up as men. And since she plans to participate in the scientific examination, it doesn't mean much to her just to take the name of a showman. At the very least, you have to get a name for yourself.

Liu Xianling looked at Du Jinning, then looked at the old man, turned his head and asked a young man in his twenties sitting on Du Jinning's left hand: "Did you see the situation just now?" ”

The man quickly stood up and arched his hand, and said nervously, "Under the ...... I concentrated on the exam just now and did not pay attention. When he looked up, the test paper was already in the boy's hand. He pointed at Du Jinning.

Liu Xianling asked the person sitting on the right side of the old man again, and the person's answer was similar to this one: "A gust of wind came just now, and I was afraid that the test paper would be blown away, so I hurriedly pressed the paper, but I didn't notice it." But the gray-haired brother shouted, 'Ah, my rolls,' and he did hear it below. ”

In fact, for Du Jinning, Liu Xianling has an impression.

When he checked the door as a guarantee just now, although Liu Xianling did not come forward in person, he kept standing at the gate of the county school and watching. Because the first to enter the examination room were more than a dozen candidates from Boyue Academy, the most eye-catching of which was Du Jinning. Not only is she the youngest of all the candidates, just turning twelve, but also because he is the most good-looking. A beautiful boy with outstanding appearance can be released by Boyue Academy to participate in the county examination at a young age, which shows that his knowledge is also good. Looking at the words and deeds, and the demeanor of everyone, he thought that he was a child of a certain family.

In Liu County's heart, he naturally believed that what Du Jinning and the old man said was true. If the cheater is not sneaky and afraid of being discovered, how can he be so loud that the whole exam room knows about it?

It's just that there is no evidence and no witnesses, but it is a little difficult to convince the public.

He took the test paper in Du Jinning's hand and looked at it, found that the name was written on it, and asked, "Which one is Shen Youde?" ”

"It's Shen Youde down there." The old man hurriedly replied.

Liu Xianling looked at his desk and found that another test paper was being rolled up well, pressed by the paperweight. He instructed, "You open that paper." ”

Shen Youde hurriedly opened the test paper in a hurry.

He was only halfway through this test paper, and the other test paper was naturally blank.

Liu Xianling frowned and turned his head to look at Du Jinning's table.

But I saw that the second test paper was unfolding and placed on the table, and there was a blank space on it, but the first test paper was missing.

His face was a little difficult to look at, and he asked Du Jinning, "What about your first volume." ”

Liang Xiankuan, who was sitting in the courtyard, saw that the matter had not been resolved for a long time, and he couldn't sit still, and kept stretching his neck to look this way.

When the invigilator saw this, he hurriedly walked up to him and asked, "Why don't you do the test questions well, what are you looking for?" ”

Liang Xiankuan hurriedly said to the errand officer: "That young man over there is the first in the perennial exam of Class A of our Boyue Academy, and the county exam is just a piece of cake with his ability, and he will definitely not cheat." I also asked the uncle to go and talk to the county lord, and I was willing to testify for him. ”

"That matter, the county lord has his own judgment, don't bother you, do your own test questions. If I find you looking around, I'll be punished as cheating. But the servants refused to be accommodating.

Liang Xiankuan could only give up.

At this time, the wind was getting stronger and stronger, the sky seemed to be darkening, and it seemed to be raining, and the candidate next to him had already begun to take out his umbrella.

Liang Xiankuan looked at the umbrella in his examination basket, and then looked at Du Jinning, full of powerlessness.

Over there, Du Jinning had already taken out his test paper bag from the examination basket, poured out the first test paper from it, and handed it over.

By this time, her heart was very settled. As long as this county order doesn't convict her directly, and knows how to check the handwriting, it doesn't matter.

Sure enough, Liu Xianling opened her test paper and saw that it was full of words, and although the handwriting was slightly immature, it was upright and atmospheric, and it could be seen that the traces of being pointed out by calligraphers were completely different from the handwriting of an elderly scholar like Shen Youde.

Surprised by Du Jinning's speed in doing the questions, he quickly read the test paper and found that there was no mistake as far as his eyes could see.

He closed the scroll, handed it to Du Jinning, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "Write well, I'm waiting for you to be at the top." ”

With that, he turned away with a smile on his face.

Liu County's words shocked the hearts of the nearby candidates.

How good was the test paper made by that very beautiful young man that made Liu Xianling say such a thing?

Everyone looked at Du Jinning hesitantly.

Du Jinning rolled up the test paper very calmly, put it in the test paper bag, covered it, put it back in the test basket, and then sat down to do the questions.

Shen Youde was sure that he was fine, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and sat back on the stool.

Liang Xian on the other end saw it and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's windy, everyone presses the test papers. Candidates sitting in the courtyard, pay attention to the weather. As soon as Liu Xianling returned to the steps, an errand shouted at his command.
