On the eve of the township test.

Guo Tianyi got a secret report from Jinyiwei.

In many places, there are rumors among the children of the scholar clan that they can get the exam questions for 500 taels of silver.

"Really?"

Guo Tianyi's eyes narrowed slightly, and a murderous aura that sent chills down his spine burst out.

"Your Majesty, it's true." Cai Xuan said respectfully, "Otherwise, it would be impossible for the people to come out of nowhere, but we don't have evidence yet, but the minister can be sure that this has something to do with the Metropolitan Procuratorate..."

After a secret investigation by Jinyiwei, the Hanling Institute was relieved of suspicion.

The only person who can get in touch with the exam questions is the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Then, this exam question must have been leaked by the relevant personnel of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Who would be so bold?

Risking being beheaded to do something like this in the first Enko of the Son of Heaven?

Five hundred taels learned the content of the exam questions, and there were at least tens of thousands of students from all over the world who came to take the exam.

Among these tens of thousands of people, even if 5,000 people contribute, it is a large amount.

"Check!"

"Give me a strict investigation."

"Order the Hanling Academy to revise the test questions overnight." Guo Tianyi said angrily, "Within three days, if it can't be solved, you Cai Xuan will go home and plant leeks." ”

"Yes, I'll go check it out."

Cai Xuan had cold sweat on his forehead, feeling Alexander.

From an outsider's point of view, he is a favorite of the emperor's side and a popular figure.

As the commander of the Jinyi Guard, although the official rank is not a first-class officer, it is better than a first-class officer.

And the real power is greater than that of any first-class master.

But aside from these, only he knows that he is walking on thin ice every day.

For example, this time Enko's incident.

Your Majesty attaches great importance to it.

If something goes wrong, the first person to take the blame is yourself.

On the same day, Jin Yiwei arrested some students who were drunk and lost their words.

How do these students know what Jinyiwei's prison is like?

When they saw the various torture instruments in Zhao Prison, they were so frightened that their scalps went numb and confessed to the person who sold them the test questions.

Some of the people who sold exam questions were also caught.

After an intense secret investigation, all the spearheads were pointed at the Imperial History of the Imperial Punishment of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Among them, there are more than a dozen officials involved in the leaked examination questions.

The first is the punishment of Kaiji.

Two days later, night.

The Mansion of the Emperor of the Heavens.

Knock knock~

Knock knock~

"It's coming, it's coming..."

"Who?"

"It's a big night, so don't let people sleep?"

Late at night, the hurried knock on the door made the little guy in the criminal mansion very annoyed, but when he scolded and opened the door, and saw the flying fish suit and embroidered spring knife, he was so frightened that he couldn't speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what are you....?"

"Is Xing Kaiji in the house?" Guan Yun showed his waist card and said coldly.

"Yes, master." The little guy swallowed and spat, and quickly got out of the way.

Who doesn't know what kind of institution Jinyiwei is?

But the lord of his own family has always been honest, what is Jinyi Wei doing at night?

"Arrest someone!"

Guan Yun didn't say a word, and ordered directly.

In the next moment, a large number of brocade guards rushed into the criminal mansion.

Punishment is opened.

Dafeng Yuande entered the office for three years.

He has been an official for more than 30 years.

It enjoys an excellent reputation in the DPRK.

During his tenure in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he made a lot of achievements in the work of rectifying the discipline and supervising the imperial history and hundreds of officials.

Even at this moment, Guan Yun couldn't believe that the simple mansion owner in front of him would be the culprit in this case.

The mansion of the criminal Kaiji is nothing of value.

Many of the furniture looks old.

But these are all illusions.

According to the new law of Dafeng, you can retire when you reach the age of 60.

In some special cases, it can be up to the age of sixty-five.

According to Guo Tianyi's vision, this is the best retirement policy.

Moreover, the imperial court has to pay pensions to officials of various ministries after retirement, which can save them from worrying about pensions.

But even so.

At the age of 58 this year, Xing Kaiji still lost his heart.

When Xing Kaiji's bedroom was surrounded, Xing Kaiji got dressed and walked out very calmly.

"It turned out to be Lord Guan."

"Is this going to take the old man to Zhaoji?"

Xing Kaiji looked at Guan Yun and said unusually calmly.

Miscalculated.

I still miscalculated.

Originally, Xing Kaiji just wanted to make a fortune quietly before retirement.

As a result, he didn't expect that the business of buying and selling exam questions was outrageous.

According to his plan, he found ten henchmen to sell exam questions to the people, and he must keep all the students involved in buying and selling exam questions confidential.

Because it's a great sin.

Not only will those who sell exam questions suffer.

Those who buy exam questions will also suffer.

However, there are still some young people from large families who lost their words after drinking and leaked the news.

Therefore, it reached the ears of Jinyiwei.

Xing Kaiji is the kind of fake clean official.

He seems to be incorruptible, but he has been taking advantage of his duties from time to time to receive benefits.

"Lord Xing."

"Please."

Guan Yun smiled slightly and made a "please" gesture.

Subsequently, the penal government was sealed.

So far, all the officials involved in the sale of exam questions have been arrested.

Among them, they are all protégés of the criminal Kaiji.

is not a core member, and it is impossible to let the criminal Kaiji be entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

On the same day, another notice was plastered all over the state roads.

It's a long list.

On the list, it is written that the students who participated in the buying and selling of exam questions in various state capitals and local roads.

Some of the people who had paid for it were completely dumbfounded.

"The above participants in the trading of examination questions will be disqualified from the imperial examination for life and fined one hundred taels...!"

In the capital city of Wushan Mansion, Gu Qian looked at the notice outside the yamen, and the flame in his heart became bigger and bigger.

It's going to be a township test soon.

This kind of thing was dealt with by the imperial court with a quick knife, and there was no doubt that there were many fewer objects of competition for him.

"Your Majesty is really Mingjun."

"This kind of thing, with the combination of grace and power, will definitely make the world return to its heart."

"I'm going to get lifted...!"

Gu Qian secretly admonished himself in his heart, and then he read the notice again and returned to his residence.

Who would have thought that Gu Gan, who came to catch the exam, would live in the Land Temple?

Because the whole village has pooled the money, he has the money to pay for the journey.

But he had to save the flowers himself.

If it's a guest house.

He didn't have any money until he went to the capital to catch the exam.

Therefore, Gu Qian lived in the Land Temple.

In this way, he can save a lot of money.

After the results of the township test came out, he had to rush to the capital non-stop.

In this day and age, going far away is the most troublesome thing for ordinary people.

Five days later.

Township test begins.

Ten days later, the results of the township test were announced.

Gu Qian lived up to expectations and successfully crossed the threshold of the township test.

The total number of people referred to in the entire Wushan Mansion is 1,300.

There were only 300 people who passed the township test.

Don't look at Guo Tianyi's simplification of the imperial examination process, the township examination seems simple.

But the bachelors of Hanling Academy are not simple, they brushed off most of them in the first round.

However, in the whole Dafeng combined, there are more than 20,000 students who have passed the test this time.

For each student who passed, the local government subsidized 100 Wude Tongbao.

A hundred copper coins may not seem like much, but more than 20,000 people add up, that's two million coins.

The money is all from the local government, so it's not a small amount.

"Mother, the child is leaving."

"If you don't succeed, you won't be a man!"

Gu Qian kowtowed a few times in the direction of the village, then took a ride on a caravan bound for the capital and set off.
