Guo Jin put away his mind and focused on the article, but in just over an hour, he finished writing the first four-book question.

As soon as he put down his pen, he moved his slightly sore wrist, and after checking it carefully, he transcribed it again.

At this moment, in the building not far from the next door, there was a sudden crack, as if someone had smashed the pen and ink on the ground.

Before Guo Jin could react, he heard someone wail: "Yang Yuanzhen, you are also a scholar, and you also suffered from the cold window at the beginning, but now you are once an examiner, and you actually come up with questions to make it difficult for me and other backward candidates, it is really better than a beast!" I ......, I won't take the test, I won't take the test......"

There was silence in the examination alley, and only the heart-rending scolding of the examinee could be heard.

In a short time, several sergeants who were invigilating the examination had already rushed up like wolves, mercilessly subdued the candidate, and dragged him out quickly.

The examinee was still howling incessantly, "Yang Yuanzhen, raised by your cheap maid, inhuman, inhuman!" It wasn't until he was gagged with a cloth ball that he gradually stopped.

"Another ...... driving crazy"

Guo Jin's forehead full of forehead wrinkles suddenly oozed a few drops of cold sweat, and he was secretly glad in his heart, if he hadn't been fortunate enough to have the guidance of Lord Zhizhou, he was afraid that he would not be much better than the person outside.

Inside Minglun Hall.

Yang Yuanzhen, the chief examiner of this township examination, was drinking tea while chatting with several examiners beside him.

Hearing the commotion outside, Yang Yuanzhen frowned slightly, put down the teacup, and called the scribe at the door to inquire about the situation.

When he heard what happened, Yang Yuanzhen's old face suddenly fell.

"It's so bold that such a candidate dares to speak out to slander the president!" The examiners sitting in the hall all had strange faces, and subconsciously helped to scold a few words.

Yang Yuanzhen didn't show any annoyance, but just said: "When the official was a candidate, he was also young and frivolous, and he slandered the examiner. Now that I have become an examiner, I know the difficulties. No matter what, no matter what, this official is a talent for the country, and he just wants to have a clear conscience, so what's the harm if he is infamy? ”

All the fellow examiners were slightly stunned when they heard this, and then they couldn't help but secretly admire in their hearts.

The president deserves to be the president!

Being scolded by a candidate for no reason was originally a shameful and ugly thing, but when he said this, it actually became a good thing worth publicizing!

Yang Yuanzhen's words spread today, who doesn't praise him for being humble and loyal to the country?

I think that after the Son of Heaven hears about this, he will also remember it in his heart and praise it!

At this time, a clever fellow examiner rolled his eyes and stepped forward to ask: "President, this person disturbed the examination room, should his reputation be removed as a punishment?" ”

Yang Yuanzhen glanced approvingly at the examiner, then waved his hand and said, "No need." Ten years of cold windows is also not easy. Expelled him from the examination room, punished him a little, and sharpened his temperament. ”

All the examiners were convinced, and took this opportunity to praise: "The president is magnanimous, which is not comparable to ordinary people." ”

Seeing this scene, Yang Yuanzhen pinched his short beard under his chin reservedly, and he was quite complacent in his heart.

This time I presided over the township test, I thought that I could accept a group of promising protégés, which was already very good, but I didn't expect such an unexpected joy to let myself take advantage of the situation to promote a wave of good reputation.

What a trip it was worth!

However, there is one thing to say, Yang Yuanzhen himself also feels that the questions in this exam are indeed a little difficult, ordinary candidates want to write qualified essays based on this, but I am afraid that it is not easy, and when it is time to mark the papers, they can relax the standards accordingly.

……

After nine days and six nights of mental and physical suffering, the candidates finally ushered in a temporary liberation, and they left the Gongyuan and prepared to go back to sleep to eliminate the exhaustion of their bodies.

The papers handed in were transcribed and sealed and sent to the public court, and the chief examiner Yang Yuanzhen took all the fellow examiners to start reading the papers.

Yang Yuanzhen's mood was quite happy.

In his mind, with the difficulty of the examination questions in Henan Township, there should not be too many candidates who can write qualified essays.

After all, the competition in Henan's township examination has not been fierce, and the degree of involution is far less than that of Jiangnan and Jiangxi, which are large scientific examination provinces in the south, and the level of candidates is naturally much worse.

It is because Yang Yuanzhen has already instructed the examiner with you to relax the admission criteria slightly, as long as it is an eye-catching article, you can send it to him to have a look at it.

It's just that as he read this volume all the way, the more Yang Yuanzhen looked at it, the more shocked he became.

In the following articles sent by the examiner, most of the overall level is indeed the same as Yang Yuanzhen expected, but it is not satisfactory.

However, the eye-catching masterpieces are also twice as many as Yang Yuanzhen expected.

There are even articles written by several candidates, which are profound, magnanimous, true and pharaoh, elegant and exciting, so that Yang Yuanzhen can't help but applaud.

The candidates who can write such articles should not be unknown people, but Yang Yuanzhen thought about it for a long time, and it was difficult to find a counterpart among the famous talents in this province.

One or two dark horses are just that, so many dark horses suddenly appeared, which made Yang Yuanzhen a little confused for a while.

However, after all, the township examination is held every three years, and the candidates of a certain session ushered in a big outbreak, which has not happened in the past, so although Yang Yuanzhen was surprised, he did not take this matter too seriously.

It's just that when the one hundred and twenty admission papers are selected, the seal is opened, and the roll call is filled, Yang Yuanzhen finally can't settle down anymore.

The reason is simple, the frequency of appearing in a certain place is too high, and it is abnormally high, so that people have to have some terrible associations.

"Yuzhou Mi County, Yuzhou Xinzheng County, and Yuzhou Mi County, and ...... Yuzhou Mi County, if I'm not mistaken, this is already the sixteenth Yuzhou candidate, right?"

"Kaifeng Mansion is the center of Gyeonggi, where the essence of the Great Zhou Dynasty is located, not only has a population of more than one million, but also many celebrities and Confucians, even so, only twenty-one people have been selected. Yuzhou is a small place, and culture and education have never been prosperous, where did so many talents come from? ”

"And this Guo Jin, who has never heard of it before, actually overwhelmed thousands of talented people in nine prefectures and four states to get the solution?"

"What a weird thing!"

"Isn't it ......, did you leak the question before the exam?"

The more the examiners heard it, the more frightened they became, and they couldn't help but look at each other, and then they all looked at Yang Yuanzhen, the chief examiner of the township examination, who was sitting at the top.

Yang Yuanzhen was already frightened at this time, his hairs stood on end, and he had already gone to the clouds outside the clouds when he dealt with the emergencies in the examination room before.

Fraud in the imperial examination!

It is a shocking eucalyptus that has attracted worldwide attention, and it must be tried by the three divisions of the Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

If you sit on the crime of leaking questions in the scientific examination, even if there is no precedent for killing doctors in this dynasty, I am afraid that Yang Yuanzhen's official will also do it, and there will be no chance to turn over from now on.

The boundless sense of fear suddenly pressed on Yang Yuanzhen's heart, and suddenly, his eyes went dark, and he fainted on the spot.
