Having trouble with the test basket?

Shen Yichen's first reaction was to suspect that there was something wrong with this test basket, and whether there were cheating items in it.

However, the examination basket is the focus of the military service inspection, and the personal belongings carried in it are dumped on the table and then checked one by one. Even if I feel that the winter coat is thicker, I will tear it directly to see if there is a sandwich inside.

Other foods, such as pastries, are also broken open and inspected to ensure that nothing is lost.

Seeing that the military service search was so strict, but no problems were found, Shen Yichen estimated that he was wrong.

Just as the search was coming to an end, and was about to let the inner courtyard family member get dressed, one of the search soldiers seemed to have noticed something wrong, and came to the table again and raised the examination basket to take a closer look.

This action appeared, which made the clan relatives of the inner courtyard who had already regained their composure turn pale, and their arms suddenly shook again.

Not to mention Shen Yichen's suspicions, even the other candidates who were waiting in line for inspection began to whisper, guessing where there was a problem with this test basket.

After a few rounds of careful observation of the military service, finally at the bottom of the examination basket, several bamboo strips were found with slight differences in color. When I fiddle with my hand twice, it feels like it is very loose, as if it is not tightly knitted.

With the professional experience of this group of people searching for military service, it is naturally easy to infer that there is something wrong with these bamboo sticks. So I pulled out the bamboo strip hard, and then I found that it was densely carved with fonts!

"Take it!"

An angry shout broke the atmosphere of the scene, and in an instant, several soldiers rushed up fiercely and grabbed the relatives of the inner courtyard who were inspecting.

"Not me...... I didn't...... This must have been a misunderstanding...... Misunderstand! ”

Faced with this situation, the Zhu clan relatives were obviously flustered, and their speech seemed incoherent.

Naturally, the military service in the examination shed will not listen to this explanation, they have arrested many candidates for cheating, and they have not seen anyone who voluntarily confessed after being caught, and everyone declared that they did not cheat.

And in order to set an example, the military servants not only controlled the cheating Zhu clan, but also brought shackles and prepared to tie them to the square in front of the examination shed in accordance with traditional rules.

Let the candidates see what happens to the cheaters after they are caught, and at the same time, they can also sweep the cheater Sven away!

"I am a clan relative of Chengguo, and my father is the cousin of Grandpa Guo, who dares to put me in chains, so I am not afraid that Grandpa Guo will ask for guilt?"

may have seen the seriousness of the situation, but this family member of the inner courtyard did not have the fear he had at the beginning, and simply broke the jar and took out the name of Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo.

Because they are caught cheating in the imperial examination, the punishment is also severe. For example, if you are caught and entrained before the exam, there is no evidence that you have successfully cheated, and it can only be counted as an attempt to cheat.

The lightest punishment is to disqualify this exam, and the next one will come again, and the most serious one is to cancel several consecutive sessions, or even never admit you.

If you cheat in the lifting or jinshi exam, you will be held accountable if you are caught, and if you make a big fuss and collude with the examiner, it is not impossible to cut off your head and die.

Therefore, before the punishment result is decided, show your background and background first, so that the punishment may be much lighter.

Under normal circumstances, if this Zhu clan member moved out Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, maybe it would really be useful. But it's a pity that he forgot one thing, that is, the fraud in the imperial examination of the Chengguo Gongjia School has long been spread among the scholars.

If it weren't for Shen Yichen's operation in the flower viewing parade and responding to doubts with absolute strength, several people in the Chengguo Public School might have to face an investigation by the Confucianism Promotion Division today.

was already full of stains, and you still used Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, to oppress people in public, if this examiner chooses to let you go, isn't it equivalent to admitting that there is a dark box operation behind your back in full view?

Therefore, in this case, the more the name of Chengguo Gong Zhu Yong is called, the heavier the punishment will be for the examiner in order to prove his innocence.

Sure enough, this kind of shouting once again alarmed the outer curtain invigilator, and he walked over and said righteously: "The scientific examination is important, no noise and favoritism, even if it is a national prince, it must be handled impartially!" ”

"If we clamor to resist the law again, we will be severely punished by the imperial court, and we will never be admitted!"

The words of the outer curtain invigilator can already be called a very serious warning, if you kid honestly admit it, there is still room for turnaround.

Otherwise, if you make a big deal about it, even Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, will not be able to suppress it, and there will never be another chance for scientific research.

Sure enough, after hearing this, the Zhu clansman, who had thought that the fish was dead and the net was broken, and the Zhu clan who used the name of Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, to settle down in an instant, honestly put on the shackles, and showed the public in the examination shed square.

If only one person from the Chengguo Mansion Family School is investigated and punished, it will not be enough to offset the positive impact of Shen Yichen's talent and learning at the flower viewing fair.

As a result, after there was a precedent, the second family member of the inner courtyard also found the cheating bamboo strip in the examination basket. This can be said to have caused an uproar in the audience, and the fraudulent remarks of the Chengguo Gongfu Imperial Examination, which had been suppressed before, immediately revived, and even intensified.

"It turns out that the Chengguo Mansion really relied on fraud, who refuted the rumors before that they had the talent to learn?"

"It's not because Shen Yichen is overpowering the crowd and his strength is there, who dares to question him for cheating?"

"Now that the truth has been revealed, I'm afraid that Shen Yichen's previous strength over the crowd is just a good show performed by the Chengguo Mansion, right?"

"Now it seems that there is no innocent one in the Chengguo Mansion School, and Shen Yichen's case is even more suspicious!"

The waiting candidates began to gradually become agitated, because for the ancient literati, the imperial examination represented everything they had in the future.

To use a similar analogy in later generations, you studied hard for more than ten years to take the college entrance examination, but after the results were announced, you found that all the admitted people were the children of high-ranking officials by cheating, how angry and unconvinced should you be?

Moreover, if you fail the college entrance examination in later generations, you can still go to the factory to screw the screws, and this group of scholars in ancient times was powerless. Many people who have studied hard for more than ten years have completely detached themselves from society, and they don't even have the ability to survive on their own, which is equivalent to cutting off the root of their lives.

"The imperial examination is unfair, the case is suspicious, and I hope that the invigilator will investigate it strictly, and the examiners will be clear!"

A teenager in the crowd stepped forward and shouted a petition to the proctor of the curtain as a leader.

At this time, it must be too late to report to the Confucian Promotion Division, but the ancient imperial examination site also had the supervision of the curtain official system.

The word "curtain" actually has a similar meaning to the couplet "inside and outside the curtain" in Shen Yichen's previous government test.

This "curtain" refers to the fact that there is a curtain in the public hall to separate the inside and outside, and the inner curtain sits the chief examiner and the same examiner, whose main responsibilities are to mark the papers, supervise the examination, and control the overall situation.

The outer curtain is the invigilator, whose main responsibilities are to maintain discipline in the examination room, search candidates for fraud, and so on. Under normal circumstances, in order to maintain fairness, the internal and external curtain officials do not communicate with each other, and they are contacted at the door of the inner curtain on official business.

So before entering the examination room to report fraud, you can only report it to the external curtain invigilator, and today the candidates are indignant and must give an explanation.

As for the person who uttered these righteous and awe-inspiring words, it can be regarded as Shen Yichen's "old acquaintance", he is Xu Donghai, a student of Zhaowen Academy.

Originally, after experiencing the flower viewing party, Xu Donghai's heart was arrogant, just like Zeng Mengjian, and he was beaten by Shen Yichen again and again.

So in today's college exam, Xu Donghai looked unusually low-key, and he wanted to finish the exam well and gain fame. As for Shen Yichen's grades, it is no longer his business, and it is useless to envy, jealousy and hate.

It's just that he never expected that such a wonderful scene could be revealed in the pre-exam entrance and body search, and the students of the Chengguo Mansion Family School really cheated!

Regardless of the cost of this kind of "miniature carving" of basket bamboo strips, these small bamboo strips alone, even if the characters are carved, it is almost impossible to write down all the four books and five classics.

Even if there is such a ghostly carving, it is difficult for the eyes to see clearly.

Therefore, the fraud of the Chengguo Mansion Family School is not only as simple as entrainment of admission, but also involves the leakage of exam questions!

There is even a way to get the questions of the imperial examination, so who dares to guarantee that Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, has not invested a lot of money to hire someone to write for Shen Yichen's several works?

The maid was not valued before giving birth to a son, so what if he was not included in the genealogy, Shen Yichen is not the bloodline of Chengguo Gong? In the future, when he recognizes his ancestors and returns to his ancestors, who cares about the identity of his maidservant and son?

Even Xu Donghai faintly felt that Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, was really scheming, and his eggs were not put in one basket. For example, Shen Yichen succeeded in such a thing as fraud in the imperial examination, and the harvest he brought became a prince and honor.

Even if he messes up, this kid is not included in the genealogy, and he can't be regarded as a person from the Chengguo Mansion, so what does it have to do with me Zhu Yong?

It's really a sure-fire business.

Shen Yichen watched Xu Donghai stand up, the expression on his face was a little embarrassed, this kid jumped out three times and twice, and he didn't take it seriously when he saw that he was still a little kid.

Now at this sensitive moment, pointing the finger at himself again, there is really a feeling of unbearable and unbearable.

"The head of the case is suspicious, do you mean me?"

To everyone's surprise, Shen Yichen did not choose to deal with it silently at this time, but stood up from under the preface card, stared at Xu Donghai and asked coldly, not caring at all about the suspicion of not admitting himself.

Facing Shen Yichen's eyes, if it was the time of the county exam, Xu Donghai nodded on the spot and admitted, what he said was what's wrong with you?

But for some reason, this time he didn't dare to point out that what he was talking about was Shen Yichen, but Zuo Gu Yan replied: "Whoever relied on fraud and favoritism to get the head of the case, I am talking about whom." ”

Hearing this, Shen Yichen showed a sneer on his face, thinking that this kid was so tough that he dared to provoke trouble three times and twice.

Looking at it now, it's just a jumping clown!
