Listening to the words of the prefect, Cang Xuezheng had a smile on his face, but this smile was stiff and with a touch of embarrassment, and his heart had already become a pot of porridge. It's just that this hall is clear and clear, but the scenery is no longer there, the body is trembling, and the gaze that looks at the prefect is respectful and awe-inspiring.

Governor Yuan smiled slightly, and said: "But even if there is a fraud case, I don't think it's a leak of Cangxue, this official heard that the Qiantang Wang's edict and you are the same countryman, did you say that you missed something?" The relationship between this Wang Jiao and some children is not shallow, that's it, don't talk about this, in order to correct Cangxue's name and make Cangxue a clean slate, this government wants to thoroughly investigate this matter to the end, can Cangxue be willing to work with this government to inquire about this case? ”

When Cangxue heard that Yuan Zhifu was going to ask, his face turned pale, and he only felt that it was dark, and he almost fainted.

As the main exam and a school of learning, no matter who leaked the question, or whether there was a fraud case, but once asked, this confirmed his crime of dereliction of duty, which can be big or small, the future will be lost, and the worst will be dismissed, even if someone above is dealing with him, I am afraid that this life will be over.

He is different from Yuan Zhifu, he is from a clear stream, and he has a bright future, but he can't imagine that he is planted in this gutter today.

Taking a deep breath, Cangxue was more respectful to Yuan Zhifu, and said in a trembling voice: "Go down...... The subordinate obeys the order. ”

Governor Yuan stood up, with a sense of majesty, and said with a straight face: "Come on, bring the people who are leading the noise outside to the main hall, and wait for the palace to inquire." Gather three shifts of officers and wait for dispatch. ”

After dressing up and going to the main hall, Yuan Zhifu sat in the position of the first case, and glanced at the hall with his eyes slightly, and saw several scholars led by Zhang Shulun calmly entering under the majestic gaze of the third class of messengers, and these people respectfully saluted to Yuan Zhifu, and said: "Boss Wan'an." ”

Just one sentence of Wan'an made the momentum of the servants suddenly weaken by a lot.

Usually in the public court, everyone is shouting the eldest lord or Qingtian parents, and the old man of the people not only shows that he has a great background, but also a gentry family, and the word Wan'an behind it still faintly reveals a meaning that has something to do with the prefect.

The etiquette of the dynasty is ever-changing, and the words spoken by different people in different places have many meanings, and they are by no means able to talk nonsense, once they say the wrong thing, they will be reprimanded at the lightest, and if they are changed to the public court hanging in this mirror, they are afraid that they will have to beat the board.

Yuan Zhifu said with a smile: "Wait, this mansion recognizes it, it turns out that they are all famous people in this mansion, come, sit down and talk." ”

It's not like a trial anymore, it's like chatter.

Cangxue was in a cold sweat, he had been fantasizing, fantasizing that these troublesome Diao people would end up without a problem, but looking at the posture of others, not only did they come prepared, but they also seemed to collude. He suddenly woke up: All the mistakes are my fault, the prefect asked me to take the exam, I got carried away for a while, and I didn't even notice it before the list was released. It's a pity, it's a pity, I'm the second and first, do I have to plant it on such a small omission?

He secretly went to see Yuan Zhifu, but saw that Yuan Zhifu's face was pale, and he no longer saw Fang Cai's kindness, and shouted: "Who is in the hall." ”

Zhang Shulun owes himself: "The last to learn Zhang Shulun." ”

The other said: "Backward Wang Kang." ”

"Zhao Tong under the door."

The last one who claimed to be a disciple must have been a few years ago, and he was the chief examiner of Yuan Governor's Mansion at that time, and this Yuan Governor's Mansion naturally became this person's teacher.

Governor Yuan squinted his eyes and said, "Why did you take the lead in making noise outside the yaya?" Do you know that it is a felony to run into the government for no reason? ”

Zhang Shulun said in a chic manner: "Don't hide it from my lord, it is reported that someone cheated in this government exam, and the student is a talent in this house, and if he is uneven, he will be resounding." ”

"If it's a grievance, it's a song." Yuan Zhifu sneered: "You actually said that, but what evidence is there?" ”

Zhang Shulun said: "There are three doubts, one of them: this Xu Qian is from a lowly servant, and originally had no chance to take the exam, it is good for such a person to be able to read a few classics, why once he has the opportunity to pass the county test papers, he has passed all the way, first in the county test, and then first in the government test. ”

Cangxue, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help it and said, "This is also evidence?" The prefect is well-educated, and the people under his rule are proficient in the classics even if they are lowly servants, which is a good thing. ”

Governor Yuan glanced at Cang Xuezheng silently and did not make a sound.

Zhang Shulun said with a smile: "What Master Xuezheng said is also reasonable, but students are also people who read, how difficult it is to be a sage classic, if there is no ten years of work, who dares to say that he is proficient in two words?" The prefect is of course educated, but if something is abnormal, he is a demon, and the son of a lowly servant suddenly went to the lowly status, but it was the county test and the government test, if this is said, how many people believe it? Even if this son is a prodigy, I'm afraid it's a bit far-fetched. ”

Cangxue snorted coldly, but he wanted to refute again, but when he saw the prefect's face drop, he had to swallow his anger for the time being.

Zhang Shulun said again: "Second: that Xu Qian has a good relationship with the Qiantang Su County Order, the student inquired, this person's table was also given by the Su County Order, and this Xu Qian reciprocated the peach, and actually took out two hundred taels of silver to give the Su County Order, and then this son was smooth sailing, and soon ordered the first county test, here, who dares to say that there is no cat greasy?" ”

Zhang Shulun deliberately did not say that Xu Qian took the silver to repair the county school in Qiantang County, but only said that he gave two hundred taels of silver, which is enough to give people a great misleading.

Governor Yuan said with a cold face: "Is this serious? ”

Zhang Shulun said: "How dare students believe it, it's true. Third, the examination papers of the government examination have been copied and engraved into a book for the students in the house to watch, but the students found that Xu Qian's couplets and grammar have many coincidences with Master Xuezheng. Cangxuezheng's main exam, before the exam was not leaked, why is there a difference between the grammar of the Xu Qian County test and the grammar of the government test, and it just happens to be the right appetite of Cangxuezheng? Therefore, the students speculated that this Xu Qian must have the help of a 'nobleman', not only did someone leak the changes in the government exam, but even the exam questions had already been leaked. ”

Although this sentence is chasing the wind and catching shadows, but the lethality is extremely great, Cangxue is shocked, this is clearly saying that he leaked the exam questions, and leaking the exam questions is cheating, this kind of thing is extremely strict, and there is even the possibility of being convicted. Cangxue wiped the cold sweat oozing from his forehead, and said angrily: "It's nonsense, you yourself say that this is speculation, and you dare to gather scholars to make trouble in the prefect's yamen based on these?" ”

Zhang Shulun smiled and pursed his lips, and did not look at Cang Xuezheng, but his eyes fell on Yuan Zhifu's body, and he said: "Although there is a suspicion of speculation, it may not be that there is no fraud. ”

Governor Yuan nodded, glanced at the panicked Cangxuezheng from the corner of his eye, and said casually: "What do you think of Cangxuezheng?" ”

After all, Cang Xuezheng has never seen anything in the world, or that he is too comfortable as a Qingliu official, and he is usually too negligent, but at this time, he realized that the problem was strict, and he was already the master of the six gods, and he hurriedly said: "This son is spewing people with blood, and he has a bad heart, and he asks the adults to make a clear decision." ”

Governor Yuan stroked his palm and said: "What a clear judgment, since it is clearly decided, then it should be investigated, only in this way can we prove the innocence of Cang Xuezheng and block the mouths of these people." Come! Governor Yuan said expressionlessly: "Immediately invite Xu Qian, a student member of the mansion, to the hall, and the mansion will personally ask the matter clearly." In order to hear and hear the right thing, let the scholars gathered outside be put into the yaya to audit! ”

Cangxuezheng's face turned pale, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have been cheated by someone, if a person like Yuan Zhifu had no confidence, how could he make a fuss about such a big thing as fraud in the government test?

At this time, a group of fast officials obeyed the order and swarmed away.
