"Presumptuous, state exam papers, how can you say that you can open the seal?"

The moment Zhao Qin's words fell, Xue Muxiu's voice suddenly sounded, and the frightened Zhao Qin's face changed, and his body retreated again and again.

can make Xue Muxiu, who has always been approachable, like this, enough to see the seriousness of this matter.

The sealed examination papers of the state examination are not like the second examination of the township and county, but the highest standard of the imperial examination in a state.

This kind of imperial examination is sacred and dignified, and it represents the importance that the imperial court has given to a state.

Looking at the state exams in other states, there have been no Kaifeng exam papers, even if Qin Huai was framed last time, he only found the answer template from the baggage he brought.

It is impossible to say that the examination papers are opened, if they are really opened in public, it is disrespectful to the imperial examination, and it is a provocation to the imperial examination system set by the imperial court, and it is a slap in the face of the chief official of a state.

It is no wonder that it will attract Xue Muxiu's anger, but there are opposing voices, and there are also other voices.

Not long after Xue Muxiu's voice fell, then Gongsun Bo's voice sounded faintly.

"Brother Xue, why get angry with a junior? I think this junior is just an unintentional move, but the official thinks he is right."

"Reasonable? Hmph, Brother Gongsun is really good-natured, if he really opens the exam papers, if the facts are not as good as Zhao Qin said, then can you bear the consequences?"

"It's nothing more than the removal of Zhao Qin's fame, and he will not be allowed to participate in the imperial examination after all, I think Zhao Qin should be able to distinguish between the false accusation and the truth."

"Am I right?" Gongsun Bo looked at Zhao Qin below.

Zhao Qin's eyes flashed, and then he nodded heavily, and said, "Report to Lord Zhoucheng, the junior still understands the consequences of this false accusation, and I am willing to bear the consequences of opening the exam papers."

"As a student, we have the meaning of defending the imperial examination, and the younger generation really can't bear to see a disgusting person like Qin Huai undermining the discipline of the imperial examination, which is unfair to our 500 people, and it is also a provocation to the imperial examination system."

"Zhao is willing to contribute to the fairness of the imperial examination, even if the road ahead is thorny, the younger generation is duty-bound."

Zhao Qin's sudden sigh made the five hundred people present look sideways, and many of them even expressed their support.

"Brother Zhao, what you said is good, count me in, it is our bounden duty to maintain the fairness of the imperial examination."

All of a sudden, in the entire examination room, everyone who was originally in the state of watching the drama was infected.

Zhao Qin, who was originally weak, suddenly became a lonely hero-like existence at this moment.

This kind of solidarity that coercs public opinion is very effective, even Xue Muxiu frowned slightly and had no words.

Gongsun Bo looked at Tang Feng and said, "Lord Zhou Mu, you see that this is the will of the people, so I think this time, we should respect the will of the people."

Tang Feng's eyes flashed, he didn't expect that this student named Zhao Qin would have such eloquence and dare to say such passionate and generous words in front of all their adults.

Once this kind of public opinion becomes a trend, even he can't stop it, and after thinking about it again.

Tang Feng opened his mouth and said, "Zhao Qin, since you are ready to open the exam papers, this official will open the first exam paper of Qin Huai this time as you wish."

The voice fell, and the inspector below took out a square box from his wide-sleeved robe.

The middle of this box is smoked with fire paint, and looking at the traces, it has just been sealed.

Under the gaze of everyone, the fire paint was destroyed, the square box was opened, and the exam papers appeared.

The exam paper was slowly opened, everyone's breath was tense, and the inspector's eyes swept back and forth over the exam paper.

After a while, the inspector flipped the exam paper and spoke to the crowd in the VIP seat.

"Back to my lords, after the inspection of the lower officials, this exam paper does have a cheating paper, which is ninety percent the same as the template answers, and this exam paper is from Qin Huai's hand."

As soon as these words came out, the audience instantly boiled, and countless voices rang out overwhelmingly.

Among these voices, the vast majority were invective of Qin Huai.

If it weren't for the soldiers in the examination room to maintain order, I'm afraid they would all rush over

, to use force against Qin Huai.

Cheating, cheating in a high-profile exam room like the state exam, is an insult, especially for fellow candidates, and that is a stain.

Whoever does this has the urge to kill people.

The overwhelming abuse in the examination room gradually calmed down under Tang Feng's light cough.

Tang Feng's face was calm, he looked at the inspector below seriously, and said word by word, "Are you really sure it's a cheating volume?" Isn't it the son himself who thinks about people?"

The inspector shook his head and said to Tang Feng, "Lord Governor, the first volume is not a free answer question in the second and third volumes, but a test of the students' proficiency in various sage books."

"Even if it is a previous state exam, the correct answer rate of the first exam paper is only seventy percent at the highest, but Qin Huai's exam paper is ninety percent, and looking at other states, the highest is only eighty percent, so Qin Huai's ninety percent correct answer rate, even if he is talented, is impossible, so..."

In the end, the inspector did not continue, but everyone present knew that this exam paper was Qin Huai's cheating.

Although they couldn't find evidence of Qin Huai's cheating template, Qin Huai's name was on this exam paper, and the handwriting was also recognized by several invigilators and Confucians.

It is basically confirmed that it is Qin Huai's handwriting, and Qin Huai's cheating this time has basically been confirmed.

Last time, it could be said that he was framed, but this time, no matter how Qin Huai defended himself, it was impossible to escape the involvement.

"Lord Governor, now that the facts have been cleared, please also ask your lordships to enforce the law impartially, deprive Qin Huai of his meritorious reputation, strictly investigate the cheating behind Qin Huai, and return the state to a clean imperial examination."

"That's right, please also ask all the adults to call the shots, strictly investigate the people behind the cheating case, and see if there are any comrades, the state examination needs a clean imperial examination environment."

In an instant, among the students behind him, many people got up and spoke one after another, hoping that Tang Feng would uphold justice.

After all, the current situation is basically clear at a glance, even if Tang Feng wants to say more, there is no room for maneuver.

The eyes of everyone in the VIP table were looking at Su Qi'an, who was speechless.

Qin Huai has something, he is the first to escape, even if it is finally confirmed that this matter has nothing to do with him, but it has to be investigated, and it is definitely not something that Su Qi'an can reveal with a word.

Everyone's eyes flashed, but they wanted to see how this arrogant Su Qi'an got out of this game.

Su Qi'an, who was silent, felt the surging public opinion in front of him, took a deep breath, and spoke.

"No matter what the outcome of this matter is, you have to listen to what the parties have to say, and you can't set the tone like this because of the words of the family, so is it a bit excessive."

Everyone thought that Su Qi'an would say something shocking, but they didn't expect it to be such a boring statement.

Hmph, Qin Huai's cheating has been confirmed, even if he defends Qin Huai, what can he say?

In the face of iron-clad facts, Qin Huai can still overturn the case with his clever mouth.

Since it was Su Qi'an who spoke, they would naturally meet the requirements, and everyone wanted to see how Qin Huai turned the sky upside down.

Qin Huai, who was standing below, didn't look at Zhao Qin at all, nor did he say excitedly, he bowed respectfully to the people in the VIP seats above, and then said lightly.

"I don't admit to this cheating, it's none of my business."

"Shhhhhh

In an instant, there was a cry from everyone in the rear, and at this time, Qin Huai still refused to admit it, but the words of denial he said seemed so pale and weak.

Zhao Qin, who was on the side, sneered coldly, "Hmph, Qin Huai, in the face of iron-clad facts, you still don't admit it, you knew it at the beginning, why bother like this."

"You're like this, I'm really sorry for your fame, it's better to admit it, so at least I can look up to you and respect you as a man."

"Blindly quibbling will only make me and other students spurn you."

Qin Huai shook his head and looked at Zhao Qindao, "First of all, I don't know you, and I don't know who you are instructed by, so it's not my fault."

"Two, since you all believe that this cheat paper was done by me, then I hope you don't blink, okay

Look at what happens next, and it might be an eye-opener for you."

After speaking, Qin Huai turned around and walked towards his seat in the examination room, and the soldiers beside him saw this and did not stop him.

After all, under the gaze of many eyelids, even if this Qin Huai wanted to escape, he would not be able to escape.

Qin Huai walked to the table and picked up the paper on the table, which was a kind of draft paper for the students who participated in the state examination this time.

Its function is to adapt to the thickness of the brush and ink.

Qin Huai held two pieces of scratch paper in both hands, which were densely filled with words.

Qin Huai said, "In order to prevent this state exam, there will be a target against me like last time, and I will fill in all the answers on this first exam paper on these two scratch papers." Look at the book

"In other words, the first exam paper I handed in was actually a white paper, and I really don't understand how long it took me to write my white paper full of answers."

Qin Huai's explanation suddenly stopped the insult just now, and everyone in the three VIP seats was shocked.

The next moment, Tang Feng motioned for a great Confucian to come down, and this great Confucian had some intersections with Su Qi'an and Qin Huai.

It was Lin Yuanzhi who tried in Lingbei County and fought for Su Qi'an's fame.

Although Lin Yuanzhi is a retired Confucian, his prestige and fairness are not only famous in Chuandu County, but also among the many Confucians in Xizhou, Lin Yuanzhi can also be ranked in the top ten.

This time, in order to prevent the suspicion of collusion between the Confucians and the invigilators, a number of Confucians were deliberately added, and Lin Yuanzhi was invited over for this reason.

Watching Lin Yuan go down the field, the inspector next to him wanted to step forward to help, but Lin Yuanzhi refused.

Under the flashing gaze of the inspector, Lin Yuanzhi came to Qin Huai.

A serious took over the scratch paper of Qin Huai's answers.

After reading it several times in a row, he said, "Strange, really weird, the answer rate on this draft is only about fifty percent, which is in line with the level of students in this state examination."

"It seems that this is Qin Huai's answer sheet, so why is there a cheating paper with almost a full score?"

Lin Yuanzhi's face was full of incredulity, and two exam papers appeared at once, which is true or false, it is really difficult to say.
