Chapter 242: Ritual Room Inspection
Looking at it with the art of hope, it didn't wronged him, it was indeed dark and disorganized, and it was a mediocre essay that was not written by insects.
Liu Chaozong patiently read the content of the article again, and read it from beginning to end, the whole article can only be said to be mediocre, uneventful, and unremarkable, but it is a bit too much to say that the text is incomprehensible, the reason is undesirable, the words are not satisfactory, and the words are unbearable.
But Li Yu has to say this, he can't help it, who calls this a mediocre article that is not written by insects, only this point, any argument is pale and weak.
With such talent, how could he write such a colorful insect text? Liu Chaozong thought of that volume, and became more and more convinced in his heart that the other party was suspected of cheating, so he asked someone to catch a knife and write it, and he happened to be blinded by the topic.
But if he can't catch the evidence of the other party, he is helpless, and now in this matter, he can be said to be a grasshopper on a rope with the other party, so he has no other choice, he must protect the other party, which is also to protect himself.
He put down the scroll, smiled at the other party, and said: "It's a pity, this son has only learned, but he must still be young and shallow, and he still needs to be carved and carved well. ”
Li Yu heard this, and secretly scolded in his heart, do I hate iron and steel, this kid is a rotten wood that cannot be carved, this old fox will avoid the important and light, and excuse this kid.
"Writing such an unsightly article, this person's talent and learning can be seen, it is really difficult to compliment, I doubt, how can such an indiscriminate person be mixed with children!"
Liu Chaozong's expression changed, and he said with a sneer: "Li Tixue is serious, and Maxima occasionally misses his front hooves, and he misses for a while, which is nothing, it is a showman, sometimes he can't think of it, and he can't write insect texts, not to mention that a new boy is normal for a while, Li Tixue, don't you say?"
Li Yu shook his head and said solemnly: "I don't think it's because of the poor performance for a while, but that this talent is so mediocre and vulgar. ”
Liu Chaozong smiled and said: "Why is Li Tixue prejudiced against this son, I want to ask, in yesterday's assessment, there was no insect writing in all the lives, but this son is the only one?"
Hearing the other party's question, Li Yu was not easy to answer, in yesterday's assessment, in addition to Jiang Yun, there were indeed two or three people who did not write worm texts, and that old boy Shi Bocheng was one of them, this is a fact, he believes that this matter will definitely not be hidden from the other party.
Therefore, he had to say truthfully: "But there are still two or three people who have not written worm texts." ”
Liu Chaozong said: "Since this is the case, it can be seen that there is a poor performance at this time, and Li Tixue does not have to be too harsh for this." ”
Li Yu shook his head and said, "No, others may be said to have poor performance for a while, but I believe that this son is just mediocre and limited in his own talent, and it is not a matter of temporary performance." ”
Liu Chaozong took a sip of tea and said disapprehantly: "Why is Li Tixue so prejudiced against this son." ”
Li Yu couldn't care about face at the moment, so he told the story of the day before yesterday when he went to the academy to inspect, and said: "I went to Qinghe Academy to inspect the day before yesterday, and I once asked this son in person, but this son's answer was that the donkey's lips were not right the horse's mouth, and he didn't know what to do. ”
Liu Chaozong couldn't help but scold in his heart at this moment, it was no one else who was scolding, it was Jiang Yun, and he said in his heart that if the master asked you, you should answer well, pretending to be crazy and teasing, and answer nonsense, you are refreshing, but you are going to harm the old man and not be quiet, and you have to come to wipe your buttocks!
If you want to say that someone is deliberately teasing and answering nonsense, Liu Chaozong can't say this rhetoric, which is too hurtful to the other party's face, so he had to say in a roundabout way: "Xu is the topic of the adult is too difficult, and the knowledge of the adult is not comparable to that of a mere child." ”
Li Yu said very simply: "The few questions I asked are all ordinary questions, not too tricky and difficult, and many people in Qinghe Academy present can testify." ”
When Liu Chaozong saw it, he had nothing to say at all, and said in his heart what do you want, just draw it down.
Seeing that the other party was silent for a while, perhaps because he heard the other party's heart, Li Yu said bluntly: "In view of the suspicion of Jiang Yun, a new child in Linshui County, this official plans to check his county test papers, and ask Lord Liu to make it convenient!"
Sure enough, Liu Chaozong's heart suddenly came, he was really afraid of anything, what he was most taboo about was that the other party checked the county test paper, and the other party just made this request.
That colorful insect scroll, he made a ghost to draw a fork, if the rumor that he dozed off in the Liu Chaozong County test paper spread, then he didn't have to mix in Shilin at all.
"Li Tixue, you don't have to be so popular. If Li Tixue is skeptical about his talents, why don't you take a few more exams for him?" Liu Chaozong was naturally extremely reluctant that the colorful insect scroll that had been crossed by himself appeared in the world, and he could only try his best to prevaricate. His thought was that if someone could ask someone to catch a knife and write for him, and then get one or two questions right, he would be able to speak at that time.
Seeing his prevarication attitude, Li Yu became more suspicious, and he was even more convinced in his heart that there was really a lot of trouble in this, and he would not let it go.
To be honest, Li Yu didn't even want to see the other party again, so how could he have the interest of taking a few more exams.
He didn't bother to talk to the other party anymore, he took out a volume of documents directly from his arms, threw it on the table, and said: "To tell the truth, I won't hide it from Lord Liu, I received a report from the school, and Jiang Yun, a new child in Linshui County, is suspected of cheating in the field. ”
Looking at the volume of documents on the table, Liu Chaozong's face became extremely ugly, the matter has come to this, he knows that this matter can't be good, the other party has moved out of the Daoist and Xuezheng adults, and it is useless to shirk it himself.
"Well, since Li Tixue has some suspicions and wants to check the county test papers, this is also the proper meaning, so the official will accompany Li Tixue to go together. "At this point, he can only take one step at a time.
Li Yu knew that the other party had to agree, so he couldn't wait to get up and said, "Then there is Master Lao Liu." ”
Liu Chaozong was also simply, knowing that it was useless to say more, he immediately got up and led the other party to the ceremonial room in the six-room public office in front of the official office.
When they arrived at the official office of the ceremonial room, the horse warden of the ceremonial room had already received the news, and led a large group of scribes to meet them in front of the gate of the official office.
Liu Chaozong's face was very unsightly, and he waved his hand at the Ma Warden and his party who came forward, and said, "The other irrelevant people are all dispersed, and the Ma Warden will lead the way and go to the warehouse!"
Seeing that the county lord's face was wrong, the Ma Dianguan waved his hand to let the others disperse, and then carefully led Liu Chaozong and Li Yu to the warehouse.
When he arrived at the storehouse, the Ma Diantao unlocked the door of the storehouse, let the two adults in, and then followed him in, closed the door of the storehouse, and locked it from the inside.
"Wherever Cheng Mo, the candidate for this year's county examination, put it, he brought it over and showed it to Li Tixue. After entering the treasury, Liu Chaozong commanded in a deep voice.
The official Ma Dian's head looked back at the scholar with a solemn expression, and finally understood, why did the county magistrate look so unkind, there have long been rumors that the reason for the magistrate's inspection of the county was the case of fraud in the imperial examination? Now it seems to be true.
He couldn't help but shudder, didn't dare to say more at the moment, said yes, and walked quickly to get the papers.
"You only need the papers that make the list in the county exam. Li Yu added another sentence at this time, there are more than 2,000 candidates for the county examination in Linshui County, and there are 2,000 papers, all of which are kept here, he doesn't want to check them one by one, and there is no need for this.
After a short time, the Ma Warden came over with a square wooden box, put it on a square table, opened the box, and said respectfully: "Two adults, the papers of the sixty candidates on the county examination list in Jiayin are all here. ”
Liu Chaozong didn't say anything, while Li Yu walked over and began to look through the file in the box. The candidates' papers are enveloped one by one, and the names and rankings of the candidates are written on the cover, and it seems that they are arranged according to the ranking.
Other people's papers, Li Yu didn't have the patience to read them, and of course he knew that someone's county test and government test were at the bottom of the list, so it was easy to find the other party's papers, so he turned directly to the end, and took out a file with the words "Jiang Yun" and "Sixtieth Place" written on the cover from the bottom of the box.
Holding the dossier in his hand, Li Yu casually glanced at Liu Chaozong next to him, although the other party covered it up well, he still noticed a touch of discomfort flashing on the other party's expression.
With a bit of triumph and expectation, he opened the envelope, took out a roll from it, and after unfolding it, he looked at the head of the paper, which clearly stated the candidate's name and place of origin, which was Jiang Yun from Shahe Village, Linshui County.
The previous posting scripture and ink questions, trial poems, and Li Yu, who asked questions, didn't need to look at them carefully, so he hurriedly swept them over and directly saw the article in the back.
Unfolded this text in front of him, swept away the art of looking at qi, and under this look, he couldn't help but be stunned, as if he had seen something incredible, wiped his eyes, suspecting that he had seen it wrong, and then looked at it carefully, it was still what he saw before, and it was not an illusion.
Unexpectedly, the chaotic literary atmosphere, the dark and dull literary style did not see, what he saw was a constantly changing but orderly striped coat of arms, like a wriggling worm, and then look at the literary style on the scroll, only to see a piece of colorful, scorching brilliance, this is a rare and excellent colorful insect text!
How is this possible! Li Yu shouted in his heart, with a strange look of seeing a ghost.
After a period of incredible stunned, then an uncontrollable anger surged up from the bottom of his heart, rushing straight to the top of his head, this Liu Chaozong is simply bold and reckless, he deserves to die, and he is mixed with fish and eyes, and he dropped the candidate's papers, trying to deceive himself!
His first reaction when he came back to his senses was that this volume was dropped, and the original volume was gone, but he replaced it with such a good colorful insect article to bluff himself.
Do you want to expose it on the spot, but now you have no evidence, even if you expose it, the other party will deny it, so that you don't hit the fox, but you make a commotion, this matter can't be rushed, and you need to think about it in the long run.
From the initial anger, Li Yu gradually calmed down, and his mind returned to clarity, and then he thought again, even if the other party wanted to drop the bag, it would be enough to change a normal insect scroll, why should he change such a good colorful insect scroll, but it attracted people's attention and showed his tracks, isn't it strange.
After calming down, his heart was full of suspicions, and in addition, this excellent colorful insect article also aroused his curiosity, and he didn't have an immediate attack at the moment, but silently looked at this article on the volume.
Liu Chaozong stood next to him, has been secretly observing the words, paying attention to the other party's reaction, at this moment after seeing the volume in his hand, the other party's expression can be said to be wonderful, first a look of surprise and incredulity, this fell in reason, originally thought that it was another mediocre article that did not enter the stream, but at first glance, it was a good colorful insect text, anyone will be surprised.
Later, he was angry, what was he angry about, Liu Chaozong pondered, and soon guessed the other party's thoughts, could it be that he suspected that I had dropped the bag?
After thinking of this, he smiled bitterly, he wanted to drop the scroll, but he didn't dare. This thing is poked out, at most it is a joke, not to mention that he still has a reason to justify, even if he really investigates it, it is confirmed that this is a case of fraud in the imperial examination, I can't help but wear this black gauze hat on my head, and I can continue to be a third-grade jinshi in the opposition, a first-class figure in Shilin, but if it is a grandiose drop of the candidate's papers, this is not a problem of dropping the black gauze hat, but a matter of losing his head, he Liu Chaozong has not been so bold.
The other party later calmed down, probably thinking that this kind of possibility was not very likely, Liu Chaozong secretly guessed again, and when he saw that the other party looked at the scroll carefully, he didn't bother, just stood there silently and watched, thinking about the next countermeasures in his heart.
Li Yu buried his head in reading the scroll at the moment, read the beginning of the article, and felt that it was just average, not particularly amazing, of course, some articles did not show the mountain dew in the front, but they broke out in the back, which is also very common.
He patiently continued to look down, until he saw that most of the article had passed, and he saw that it was about to end, and what he saw was still just a relatively mediocre sentence, although it could not be said that it was vulgar and inferior, unsightly, but it was only unsatisfactory, and there was no special brilliance, let alone a good colorful insect article.
Strange, this shouldn't be, seeing this, Li Yu's heart was even more puzzled, and then swept it with the technique of looking at qi, only to see that the scroll was indeed still full of literary atmosphere, orderly, colorful and colorful, scorching and shining, only from the perspective of literary atmosphere, it is indeed a rare and excellent colorful insect text.
If he didn't think it was too ridiculous, he couldn't help but wonder if his aura technique was broken. (To be continued.) )
