Lu Zhi found out all the exam papers of the students who were in Linfu this year, and put them on the table one by one for comparison. Doesn't this comparison show the problem?

There are four or five people's exam papers that are very clear, and there are no extra ink spots like Hua Jizu's, like flowing water in the same way. If Lu Zhi usually had no unnecessary doubts, after all, this was selecting talents for Daqi, and the more the better.

But Xiao Hou Ye and Hua Qingyan will definitely not be untargeted, and there must be a problem with coming to check the examination papers.

Moreover, Lu Zhi has already seen that four or five people, including Hua Jizu, have exactly the same mode of answering questions, although the focus of the answers is different, but if you look carefully together, you will find that it is only a different emphasis, and the other bases and arguments are exactly the same.

After being a prefect for so many years, Lu Zhi is not stupid, and immediately guessed the problem!

Someone leaked the question!

Thinking of the little marquis in the front hall, Lu Zhi took a deep breath, the purpose of this little marquis is probably for this leak. Lu Zhi gritted his teeth, thinking about whether to do something. But this idea was quickly rejected by him. Since the little marquis has already named his step-ancestor's exam papers, he must have known a lot. So if you play tricks in front of him, you will definitely die worse in the end.

Lu Zhi sighed, folded the exam papers for a while and took them to the front hall.

It happened that there was a knock on the door of the library, and Master Feng walked in: "My lord, you are looking for me." ”

"Just in time." Lu Zhi beckoned to him, "You went to the backing village, you can tell me about the character of the flower step-ancestor." ”

Flower step-ancestor? Master Feng didn't expect Lu Zhi to ask this, and Yu Guang glanced at the exam paper on the table and had a trace of guess in his heart, "That Hua Jizu's behavior is really bad." Master Feng told what happened during the flowing water banquet, without any personal feelings, but his words were still full of disdain.

Lu Zhi didn't expect that this Hua Jizu was such a person, and there was such a room of superb relatives. He smacked his tongue, absolutely guessing that he was not far from ten.

"I remember, the above sent an official to Hua Jizu, it seems to be the county order of Qingfeng County?" Lu Zhi knocked on the table, and then pulled out a smile, "I used to want to improve the relationship with Hua Jizu, but it seems that it is not necessary now." Lu Zhi stood up and picked up the exam paper on the table, "Let's go, follow me to see the little marquis." ”

Jin Nanshu and Hua Qingyan drank a cup of tea in the front hall and then refilled another cup, and then waited for Lu Zhi. Lu Zhi also seemed to know that he had delayed a little time, and sent the exam papers to the two of them again and again, and hung his head to apologize: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the exam papers are really a lot, so I delayed some more time, and I ask the little marquis and the girl to forgive me." ”

"It's fine." Hua Qingyan flipped through the exam papers at hand, they were neat and tidy, and they were divided into categories according to the academy, and one of them was very similar to Hua Jizu's answer sheet sorted out by Lu Zhi. Hua Qingyan raised her eyes and glanced at Lu Zhi, "It's hard work for Lu Zhifu, and you've done a good job." ”

was suddenly praised by Hua Qingyan, Lu Zhi was a little flattered, he shook his head again and again, saying that he didn't dare to take credit.

Hua Qingyan was handed to Jin Nanshu by the exam paper: "Take a look, it's already very obvious." ”

Jin Nanshu read carefully, after all, he was familiar with the exam questions, although he had not participated in the imperial examination, but he had also been inspected by his master, not to mention that the answer sheets he made were often consulted by Yun Shumo. Just a glance at the problem. Jin Nanshu's face darkened, and he slapped Hua Jizu's exam paper on the table: "Okay, yes, you local officials have learned to deceive your superiors and subordinates, these are the pillars of my Daqi, you still dare to leak the question!" How unreasonable! ”

Seeing that the cup on the table was shattered into powder under Jin Nanshu's anger, Lu Zhixia's knees fell to the ground with weakness, and he crawled on the ground tremblingly, for fear that Jin Nanshu would slap him. However, Master Feng behind him was much calmer, and after being slightly surprised, he said with Jin Nanshu's anger: "Little Marquis Qi, the matter of Chunfu is not within the jurisdiction of the government and the like. We adults have just found out about such a leak, and we can't blame adults for this. ”

"I can't blame you, I can't blame you!" Peach Blossom's eyes flashed with a half-squint, obviously very dissatisfied with Master Feng's shirking of responsibility, but what he said was also reasonable. Daqi has a special department in each state capital to manage the imperial examination, and the examination papers are sent to them first, and then sent to the government for archiving. The government only did a file management job in this regard.

Hua Qingyan had also heard of this department called Guozijian, she put down her cup and soothed: "Okay, you can't blame Governor Lu for everything, this matter has nothing to do with him." However, Governor Lu, you should also see the problem, so let this be a thorough investigation. ”

"Yes, yes, I'll definitely find out!" Lu Zhi nodded again and again, "It is the unfavorable supervision of the lower officials that will cause the matter of leaking the question and buying the question, the lower official must find out this matter clearly, and give the little marquis and the girl an explanation......"

"It's not to give us an explanation, but to the students of the world." Hua Qingyan interrupted Lu Zhi's words, "What you are doing is to seek justice for the students of the world." ”

For some reason, Lu Zhi felt that as soon as Hua Qingyan's words came out, an indescribable emotion arose in his heart, as if he had returned to the time when he participated in the imperial examination, full of desire to get a good score in the exam and be appreciated by the superiors, and then become an official to avenge the people. As if he had the pride and ambition of the year in his heart again, Lu Zhi straightened up and said solemnly: "Yes, the lower officials know!" will definitely live up to the expectations of the little marquis and the girl! ”

Coming out of the mansion, Hua Qingyan sighed deeply: "I didn't expect Hua Jizu to really do such a thing." ”

"What's strange." Jin Nanshu sneered, "These students will participate in the imperial examination every time, and they have infinite longing every time, but the results are unsatisfactory every time. The wealthy are better, but those who are poor are miserable. ”

"Some people are greedy for profit and can do anything for an official body, while some people don't care about the stability of the Great Qi River for the sake of money." Hua Qingyan said quietly, "It's like some people who disregard people's lives for the sake of power." ”

Looking at Hua Qingyan's gloomy face, Jin Nanshu understood in her heart that she remembered what happened to her family again, "Don't worry, no matter what, you can get a grievance, and it will fall in broad daylight." People are doing it, the sky is watching, and they all say that the way of heaven is good reincarnation, so let's just wait. ”

Then Jin Nanshu led Hua Qingyan to Guozijian. Guozijian is a very open place, and many students gather here all year round to discuss knowledge, so there is no curfew at the door. And the Guozijian is not like the solemn government office, but a bit like a garden, with small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions. There is a humanistic atmosphere everywhere.

Jin Nanshu and Hua Qingyan are obviously fresh faces, and they were greeted as soon as they entered the door, because the two of them were outstanding in appearance and well-dressed, so many people's eyes flashed with amazement, and they were eager to come forward to say hello. However, compared to these, the gaze that fell on Hua Qingyan was more, although Daqi did not prohibit women from reading, but it was just literacy and hyphenation. Therefore, there are almost no girls in the country, and the appearance of Hua Qingyan is like a gorgeous flower finally blooming in the green leaves of a hundred years, which makes people unable to take their eyes off.

Hua Qingyan didn't feel uncomfortable being looked at like this, there were more people in her family, and those soldiers looked at her blatantly when they first came. Hua Qingyan followed Jin Nanshu's side, watching the scenery around her: "This country eunuch is a little elegant. ”

"It's just vassal." Jin Nanshu was still angry in his heart, so he naturally saw that Guozijian was not pleasing to the eye, and his tone was a little impulsive.

Hua Qingyan smiled nonchalantly, "There are quite a few students here." ”

When passing by a gazebo, there were five students in it who were reading poems, and they were worried about what the theme was, and when they saw Hua Qingyan, one of the students' eyes lit up and said: "It's better to take beauty as the theme, let's each make a poem for this girl." ”

Jin Nanshu seemed to be interested, and stopped: "Good idea, since you want to give it to this girl next to me, then don't mind if we listen to it." ”

"Don't mind, don't mind!"

When those students saw Hua Qingyan looking over, they couldn't help but blush. provoked Jin Nanshu to sneer again, "It's innocent." ”

However, Jin Nanshu didn't really stay, he stopped to inquire about the news. He is away all the year round, and he is only familiar with the various departments in Yongjing City, and this place is simply a smear. He looked at these students and wanted to ask them who was in charge of the affairs of the country's eunuch in the city.

These students are also really simple, or maybe they think they can't be lazy when they see Jin Nanshu and Hua Qingyan dressed extraordinarily, so they answered honestly: "There are three stewards here, namely Lord Chen, Lord Gong and Master Li. However, among them, Lord Chen's official is the largest, and we can't see Lord Chen. ”

"Why, you should have been here for a long time, why can't you meet this Lord Chen?" Hua Qingyan couldn't help but ask.

The student who answered the question before instantly blushed, and seemed to be a little shy to hide behind the people around him, but he still answered Hua Qingyan's question: "Master Chen is simple to understand, and he rarely comes to Guozijian on weekdays. I saw Master Chen once from afar, with a black face and a bad temper. The other two adults are very accommodating, from time to time to guide our studies, although this time there is no lift, but we are very grateful to the other two adults. ”

Hua Qingyan and Jin Nanshu glanced at each other, feeling that they already had a shallow goal in their hearts. Hua Qingyan smiled at those students: "Thank you, don't be discouraged, your efforts will always be seen, continue to work hard." ”

Several people didn't expect Hua Qingyan to encourage them, and they were stunned for a long time with their mouths open before coming back to their senses, but when they were about to thank Hua Qingyan, they found that Hua Qingyan and Jin Nanshu had gone away.

"Ah, I don't know the name of that girl, I don't know if we can meet again." The blushing student exclaimed.
