I saw Zhang Qiang's fat face trembling, trembling again, and turning white.

"Back!" I was aggressive, "Since it's a splendid article you wrote, what's so embarrassing?" ”

Zhang Qiang said helplessly: "Husband...... The husband ...... "trembled for a long time, but he couldn't recite a word."

I watched coldly, and I had a question in my heart: even if I leaked the question in advance and found someone to write it on my behalf, this Zhang Qiang should be memorized first before it can be copied word for word on the paper. Now I can't recite a word, why?

In this era, there are no high-tech cheating methods.

was puzzled, when he suddenly heard a low but clear sneer behind him: "Straw bale!" ”

But two words made me stiffen all over my body, and I slowly turned my head.

But in the dim prison, a slender young man sat cross-legged, although he was dressed in prison clothes, he was upright and neat, and his thatched hair was not messy, in this cold prison, like a lotus flower out of the mud and unstained.

Stinky Boy...... I almost got my eyes wet.

Qin Lang, who was beside him, was afraid that I would lose my temper for a while, so he secretly touched my trembling hand and asked Xiaoshu, "You are the first Leng Jiashu who will try the case?" ”

Xiaoshu stood up, dusted off his body, glanced at me meaningfully, and instantly changed to a cold and arrogant look: "It's down." ”

At this time, I also adjusted from the shock of the first sight, walked a few steps closer, and raised my eyebrows at Xiaoshu: "I heard that you are bold, and you secretly mention the reverse words on the test paper, which is really wolf-hearted." Now in prison...... Bitter? ”

Xiao Shu pretended to sneer and said, "I'm disappointed to the adults, the student has a good diet and accommodation in prison, and he doesn't suffer much." ”

I was relieved, but I made a very disappointed expression on my face: "I just heard you scold Zhang Shengba, and your tone is very arrogant, why don't you also memorize your article to us to listen to, and see how much real ability you have." ”

Before I came to visit Dali Temple, I thought of a question: if Xiaoshu's handwritten scroll has hidden reverse characters, but the transcription scroll is missing, then which one is true?

The best way to do this is to ask Xiaoshu to recite his own article and compare it with the transcript in my hand, and then you can find clues.

Xiaoshu smiled arrogantly: "I wrote my own article, why can't I memorize it!" So he took two steps back, held his head high, stood with his hands in his hands, and spoke aloud:

"The minister is right, the minister hears the greatness of the Tao, the original is from the sky, beyond the wonder of Wuji Taiji, and it is not far from the daily things, rooted in the five elements of yang and yang, and it is nothing more than benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom, rigidity, softness, good and evil. The sky is clear, the earth is quiet, the people are very clear, and there is no way to do it. The saints are passed down from generation to generation, together with this, from self-cultivation to govern people, from enlightenment to the family to govern the country and level the world, the spirit of the heart, and the etiquette and music of the criminal government. Its body is very small, its use is extensive, and it is not easy to ...... for thousands of generations."

Xiao Shu's loud voice instantly spread throughout the entire prison, and both the jailer and the prisoner were silent in unison at this moment in the sound of his recitation, listening solemnly, as devout as a student listening to his lecture.

When I saw that although he was standing in a gloomy cell, he seemed to be standing on an apricot altar, and the literati were full of style, and I was suddenly a little moved.

Mr. Pan is right, my little tree will become a big thing in the future!

The sound of Xiao Shu's recitation had stopped, but the entire prison was still immersed in silence, until a few crisp applause suddenly broke the lingering atmosphere.

"Good! Good! Good! Sure enough, it's a rare splendid article! Leng Sheng's heart has the avenue of heaven and earth, the mind of the community and the people, the pen is hearty, and the air runs through Changhong, this case is well deserved! ”

I couldn't help but smell the prestige, and saw a man in an official robe, who was slowly walking while clapping his palm, thirty-five or sixteen years old, with eyes as bright as an eagle, and a strand of white hair on his forehead, which looked particularly uninhibited.

I heard the jailer next to him salute: "Lord Wen! ”

Qin Lang and I glanced at each other: Dali Siqing, Lord Wen Jiewen, actually came in person!

Master Wen has been in charge of Dali Temple for many years, and has solved countless cases, and there is a sharp spirit in the eyes of people, and I can see that my fake brocade guard trembles in my heart.

was in a weak heart, but he heard Lord Wen ask coldly: "Are you from the Beizhen Mansion Division?" ”

Qin Lang replied without humility or arrogance: "Exactly, Feng Ji commanded the name to come to interrogate Leng Jiashu and Zhang Qiang, the suspects of fraud in the imperial examination. ”

"Your Majesty's decree ordered Dali Temple and Jinyiwei to investigate the case of fraud in the same examination, and the official has nothing to say." Lord Wen's gaze swept over the faces of the two of us, swirled on Zhang Qiang's trembling fat face, and finally landed on Xiao Shu, "Now that you have interrogated the two suspects, can you have a conclusion?" ”

At this time, the girl and I finally quickly adjusted her state from the weakness of my heart, and sneered at Lord Wen with my head high: "With all due respect, in our Beizhen Mansion Division, it is not painful or itchy to chat for a few words, but it can be regarded as an interrogation." After that, he made a miserable expression, "This prisoner, take it to the torture hall for a walk, don't ask, just say everything......

As soon as these words came out, not only Lord Wen's face changed slightly, but even Qin Lang beside him glanced at me in surprise, with an expression of "Are you crazy?"

Not to mention the little tree in the prison behind me, I can even make up his stomach slander at the moment: Leng Xinyue, are you my own sister?!

"Abuse of capital punishment and torture into tricks, that is the means of your Jinyiwei, my Dali Temple, don't do this!" The look of disdain on Lord Wen's face was unconcealed, "I am tired of going back and telling Ji Gang that as long as the case of fraud in the imperial examination is here with the official for one day, it is necessary to find out the merits, and it will never let the pearl be dusted and delay the pillars of the country!" ”

After that, he waved his sleeves coldly and turned away: "Come on, send the two out!" ”

I was scolded and reprimanded by Lord Wen together, and was ruthlessly expelled from the gate of Dali Temple, but I was overjoyed to even walk The girl I was really suspected of neuropathy.

Qin Lang, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips: "Your trick is really beautiful." ”

"yes, I'm also blessed by a whim." I became more and more fluttering, "Do you really want to worship me?" ”

A hint of cunning flashed in Qin Langfeng's eyes: "Take that worship word." ”

I thought about it for a moment before I understood, and I reached out and pinched his waist in disgust: When did a decent man become so improper?

Suddenly remembered the scene I saw before leaving the gate of Dali Temple: "When we were swept out of the house by Master Wen, we just passed by Master Mo, do you remember?" "Fortunately, both of us have dressed up today, and we have not been recognized by Master Mo, however, "You didn't see Master Mo looking back at you step by step." ”

A beard stuck to Qin Lang's lips trembled: "What do you want to say?" ”

I couldn't help but sigh: "People don't really look at your face...... True love needs to be cherished. ”

Before the words fell, there was a hot "snap" on the buttocks.

"Now that Dali Temple has also been explored, hurry back and change this clothes." Qin Lang looked like "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you anymore", "So as not to have too many dreams at night." ”

"Don't!" I immediately laughed and pulled his beard coquettishly, "It's not easy to pretend, so let's just go to another place." ”

The statue of Confucius at the gate of the Gongyuan Temple, the red persimmon traces on his face are still faintly visible.

When I passed by him, I don't know if it was my psychological effect, but I always felt that the expression of Confucius and his old man was mixed with anger and a bit of grievance.

So I silently thought in my heart: Throwing persimmons to smash your old one, it's Xie Qian! Xie Qian......

"Two adults, please see, the highest one is the Mingyuan Building, during the exam, the chief examiner and others can go upstairs to overlook the prison building and inspect the living beings."

Fortunately, the little deacon of the Gongyuan did not have the lofty and arrogant bones of the people of Dali Temple, and when he saw that it was the Jinyi Guard, he was a little more attentive in his panic, and took us to investigate all over the Gongyuan.

I secretly looked at the little deacon, and saw that he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, thin and delicate, and when he walked, he bent his waist and looked like he could not stand up straight, and his face was even more white and bloodless, typical of sub-health.

"Behind the Mingyuan Building is the Zhigong Hall, which is the office of the outer curtain official. This is the place where the test papers are stored and distributed before the entrance examination begins. After going to the public court, there is the Caution Hall, which is the place where the name of the test paper is changed. ”

Visiting the Tribute Courtyard is not a whim.

The reverse words that appeared strangely on Xiaoshu's test paper, coupled with the splendid article conjured up out of thin air by Zhang Qiang's embroidered pillow...... Since it was not done by the parties, it can only be said that someone manipulated it in the process of passing and reviewing the test papers.

Therefore, by deducing the order of the flow of the test paper from beginning to end, it is possible to find out where the bugs are.

And the whole process from the distribution of the test papers to the completion of the review is in this tribute courtyard.

Looking around, the two of us had stepped on a white marble bridge under the guidance of the little deacon.

I saw that this bridge was connected to a pool of clear water, which naturally divided the entire Gongyuan into two. The stone bridge railing is engraved with auspicious patterns such as lotus flowers and green clouds, and I can't help asking: "This is the Feihong Bridge?" ”

I once heard Xiaoshu chatter, saying that there is a saying among students: Roll through the Feihongqiao, half of the people are lifted. That is to say, the test paper is sent to the marking officer after the Feihongqiao, and there is hope for the list.

"Back to my lord, it's Feihongqiao. After crossing this bridge, it is the Hengjian Hall, which is an important place for reading papers. During the examination period, no one is allowed to pass through Feihongqiao. He pointed to a stone line in the center of the bridge deck, "Even the clothes of the examiner can only be sent to the stone line in the center of the bridge, and the special person in the value will pick it up, and there can be no internal and external exchanges." ”

I bowed my head, thinking that the operation was rigorous, so I followed the little deacon and continued inside.

The so-called Hengjian Hall is actually a very large office office, the main hall is spacious, there are a number of desks, chairs and books, it is obviously the place where the marking officer concentrates his office, and then there are several independent pavilions, according to the little deacon, it is the place where the adults with high official ranks, such as the chief examiner and the co-resident examiner, work independently.

I took the little deacon who led the way, and Qin Lang and Qin Lang took a closer look in Hengjian Hall.
