Chapter 56 Buying and Selling Examination Papers

After separating from the Ma Yuan brothers, Liu Xiu returned to the Fu Inn and walked in the alley where the population was decreasing, and it was already sunset.

At a corner of a street, Liu Xiu suddenly saw two figures sneaking around, and he didn't know what they were doing.

Liu Xiu secretly approached and hid behind a haystack, only to hear one person ask, "Did you bring the test questions?" ”

"Brought it." The other nodded.

"According to the agreement, a set of test questions 5 taels of silver..."

"This, the owner said that the price is low, at least 10 taels."

"Why don't you grab it? To put it well, how can you temporarily increase the price? ”

"The wind has changed, it has tightened a little, and it is risky to do what we do." The man insisted on a price increase.

And the other party was obviously a little angry.

"I said Lang Jun, if you cross the carp gate, you are the protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, and you will be an official in the future, and your career is important, or is it money?" The person who sells the exam questions does not dare to show his true face, wearing a hat on his head and covering his face with a light veil, so he can't see the person's appearance clearly.

"That being said, you can guarantee that the paper you gave through this channel is genuine...", the young man who looked like a student retorted.

"I don't dare to say anything else, but the test paper in my hand is definitely a scientific examination topic." The black gauze man patted his chest and said.

"How so?" The students are still skeptical.

"Because the chief examiner is the family of our host, and the two deputy examiners have already been put in place, do you think this value is worth it?" The black gauze man raised the test paper in his hand.

"It's cheaper, my classmates ask me to buy a few more copies, and the amount is cheaper." Students have been haggling.

"Each set of test papers is 8 taels, and it can't be less."

"Can't give any extra benefits?"

"What more do you want?" The black gauze man was stunned, it was the first time he had seen such a person who could buy and sell.

Such a person has succumbed to his talents as an official and should go into business.

"One serving is 8 taels, and I need 10 here."

"80 taels?" The black gauze man was a little excited, this is going to make a fortune.

"How?"

"You Langjun, officialdom is not worthy of you. Well, I'll give you an extra set of standard answers. The black gauze man took out another set of test papers.

Liu Xiu observed carefully, his eyes shone brightly, and he found that the paper in the hand of the man in black, whether it was an exam paper or an answer sheet, was actually printed on high-quality paper.

This?

Could it be the work of the time-traveler?

To print these rolls, papermaking and printing were required, and such techniques were completely unavailable in the new Mang period.

The common ones on the market are the official script fonts and slips engraved with a pen and knife, and the papermaking and printing techniques are only available in later generations.

Liu Xiu really wanted to snatch the test paper and take a good look at it.

"Pay with one hand, deliver with the other." The student seemed to be afraid of him, so he took the money and ran away.

"Happy trading!" The black gauze man took the heavy cloth bag and smiled.

Some people say that Confucius is the founder of Confucianism, he respects teachers and emphasizes teaching, emphasizes benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith, and his words and deeds can be called a model for all ages. It is also said that Confucius was tall and powerful, and he persuaded people with his eloquent words. Zi said: If a gentleman is not heavy, he is not authoritative, and the new interpretation believes that a gentleman should be heavy-handed when he beats people, and the beating is too light to establish prestige. What do you think? Combined with reality, write a political policy statement. "Students read the exam papers while reading the content of the exam questions.

"Okay, don't talk about it." The black gauze man was worried about being discovered, so he quickly interrupted.

"The student took his leave."

After the black gauze man and the student separated, they went to an inn.

When Liu Xiu saw it, it was the Laifu Inn, and this person had the same destination as him, so he followed.

Liu Xiu watched this person go up to the VIP building on the second floor, so he called all the people and asked him to open a private room on the second floor for him.

And it's next to the black gauze man's room.

Liu Xiu tiptoed into the private room, lowered her voice and said to Laiquan, "Okay, you go get busy." Ask someone to bring me dinner, don't disturb me at other times. ”

When I came to see him, I didn't dare to ask more, so I could only nod my head.

In the private room on the second floor, the two rooms are separated by a wooden wall, and the hollow area is covered with light veil.

Therefore, Liu Xiu stuck to the partition, and the slight noise in the next room could be heard, only poking a small hole in the window screen, just enough to see the every move of the tenants in the private room.

"I have gained a lot today, and when you come in, you are happy." One of them said.

"The owner really didn't hide it, I met a fool today and slaughtered him hard." The black gauze man took off his hat and revealed his true face, which turned out to be a man dressed as a housekeeper.

The man known as the proprietor was dressed in fancy clothes and had a very unusual status.

This person's image and temperament are not inferior to the noble son seen in the school martial arts field.

Could it be that this man is also a prince?

People of this status participated in scientific research fraud, and their intuition told Liu Xiu that something big was going to happen, a big thing, and he was the one who fueled the trouble.

"Uncle Yuan, have you forgotten my explanation?" The noble son was a little displeased.

"An Shao!"

"That's right, when no one is around, you call me An Shao, and I call you Uncle Yuan." An Shaofu said yes.

"The old slave has something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not." The butler hesitated for a moment.

"You and I are like uncles and nephews, and we have something to say." An Shao was blunt.

"You said that this Lin Gongzi, why is he against you everywhere?"

"You're good, what do you want him to do?" As soon as An Shao heard Lin Gongzi, his temperament changed immediately.

The housekeeper had no choice but to say: "You and he are brothers, but he is every step of the way, vowing to compete for favor." ”

"Hmph, it's not because of his father's preference for him." An Shao's anger was hard to dissipate.

"I heard that two days ago, he recruited a strategist."

"Who is it?" An Shao's face changed.

"It is said that what is the name, the surname is Li, and the name is good."

When Liu Xiu heard Li Shanchang's name, he couldn't help but gasp.

Li Shanchang, a cow on a par with Liu Bowen!

"Shhh ”

"But are we going to let someone slaughter us?" The housekeeper was not convinced.

"Absolutely not, so I want to sabotage his imperial examination system, make him notorious, and make his scientific examination unable to continue." An Shao said, his face twitching.

"Yes, in the first scientific examination, there was a major corruption case in the examination room, and the impact was far-reaching." The butler nodded.

The more Liu Xiu listened, the more frightened she became, there were so many hidden secrets in this.

A corruption case involves two princes and a dispute over the prince.

This melon is a bit big, but a little sweet!

Liu Xiule saw the opposing camp and fought to the death.

I just don't know which two princes it is. Liu Xiu thought to herself.

However, after carefully recalling the conversation between the two, Liu Xiu seemed to have guessed the identities of Lin Gongzi and An Shao.

It should be Wang Mang's two sons: Wang Lin and Wang An, but this is just a guess and needs to be supported by facts.

Liu Xiu still wanted to eavesdrop, but saw the master and servant come out of the private room.

It looks like I'm going to eat on the first floor.

Liu Xiu's stomach rumbled, and it was time for dinner.

Then, Dian Wei, who seemed to be sulking, walked in.

"The lord goes out to play, and he doesn't take me with him." When Dian Wei saw him, he began to complain.

Like an aggrieved child.
