Zheng Guogong's voice was cold, with the majesty of Sensen, after all, in such a high-level imperial examination as the palace examination, there would be leaked test questions, which was really shocking.

When the three Xizhou candidates below said the names of the test subjects, everyone was stunned.

This joke can't be made, what is Su Qi'an's identity, especially after such a beating just now, at this time, someone will even report him.

If this is mistaken, the consequences are not simply to cancel the results of this palace examination, deprive the Jinshi of his fame, and go to prison is considered light.

Zheng Guogong's face was serious, and he scolded the three kneeling people. "The three of you, do you know the seriousness of falsely accusing the children of the royal family, if there is no evidence, you know the consequences of talking like this."

Zheng Guogong seemed to be defending Su Qi'an, but what he said always made him feel uncomfortable.

The three Xizhou Jinshi who knelt down kowtowed again and again, "My lord, what the three of us said is absolutely not a lie."

"We know that falsely accusing the examiner is a big crime, but the three of us really have a troubled conscience, as Jinshi students, participating in the palace examination is what we dream of."

"Because I knew that the chief examiner this time was Mr. Su, we were from Xizhou, and we wanted to visit, but as a result, Mr. Su secretly left us behind and revealed to us the content of the questions for this palace examination."

"If you don't believe it, as long as you check the handwriting content on it, you can definitely find out something."

"Really? Someone, check the handwriting of the officer."

Zheng Guogong ordered the two forbidden soldiers to step forward and take away the strip of cloth with the handwriting of the leaking content.

Taking advantage of this gap, Wang Zhenshan suddenly said, "Oh, you said that the content of this leaked question was given to you by Examiner Su, but the old man wants to ask, you and Examiner Su have no teacher-student relationship, and no friendship between life and death, why did Examiner Su leak the question to you, if you want to make false accusations, you have to find the right person."

"Back to my lord, maybe it's because of appreciation, or maybe it's because of the nostalgia of the same state." The three Xizhou Jinshi hesitated.

"Hmph, appreciation, as far as the old man knows, the three of you are only in the middle and lower ranks of many Jinshi, do you appreciate it? Is it really when the old man is blind? As for taking care of the nostalgia of Tongzhou, why is Examiner Su so kind, he has nothing to do, he pays for you, and he really treats himself as a character."

"I think, the three of you are naked false accusations, come here, drag these three people down for the old man, beat them hard, the old man wants to see if they have a hard mouth, or a hard board."

The three Xizhou Jinshi kowtowed heavily and begged for mercy, "Spare your life, Examiner Wang, we really don't know what's going on in this matter, if the examiners don't believe it, you can ask outsiders, even people from the Hanlin Academy, the three of us were really left in the room by Examiner Su."

"When we come out, there will be more inexplicable exam questions."

"Oh, in that case, why don't you just turn it in, and wait until the end of the temple exam?" Wang Zhenshan asked directly.

"Lord Hui, after all, this is the content of the palace examination, to say that we have no selfish intentions, it is absolutely fake, we also want to be admitted to the top three of the Jinshi."

"But in the end, when we actually stepped into the examination room, as we put pen to paper, the anxiety and shame in our hearts became more and more serious, and we knew that our cheating was wrong, and we deserved to die."

"But after all, we have read the books of the sages for many years, and we still have a conscience, even if we are disqualified from this temple examination this time, we must be worthy of our conscience."

These three people said with a righteous and awe-inspiring look, and it felt as if these three people were the warriors who exposed the darkness of the palace test, and Su Qi'an became a complete villain.

The hearts of the three of them, Su Qi'an just looked at it indifferently, he wanted to see how much movement would be caused behind this.

Wang Zhenshan was completely sneering at the rhetoric of the three of them, he was also a soldier who had been galloping on the battlefield for many years, and he had seen many literati students who seemed to be righteous and awe-inspiring.

But in the end, when they went to the battlefield, most of them peed their pants and sat on the ground in fright.

Compared with the rhetoric of literati students, he believes in the board more.

Wang Zhenshan was not moved at all, he didn't mean to listen, waved his hand, and motioned to take the three of them down.

But this move was stopped by Zheng Guogong.

"What do you mean, Lord Zheng?" Wang Zhenshan was displeased.

Zheng Guogong chuckled, "Hehe, Lord Wang, don't worry, although the authenticity of what these three people said is debatable, but after all, they are Jinshi meritorious names, and at this time, before the matter is clear, it is not good to beat their board."

"What's wrong, according to the old man, the three of them are malicious false accusations, and the words they say are full of flaws, so they simply give dozens of boards, and absolutely pour them all out in one go."

"Lord Wang, this is not the Northwest Battlefield, it's no problem to deal with rough people, but this is the Wenxian Palace, the highest hall of the imperial examination, directly hit the board, with their body bones, I'm afraid they will die a long time ago."

"Lord Wang should be in a hurry, and he will not be in a hurry for this moment, and it will not be too late to punish him when the handwriting is identified, we will not wronged a good person, nor will we let go of a bad person."

"Examiner Su, do you say yes?" Zheng Guogong turned his head and said to Su Qi'an with a smile.

"Even Lord Zheng said so, what else can Su say, then wait and see."

The identification of handwriting takes some time, and it is impossible to falsify this identification, which is a matter of great importance, but it is personally identified by the third prince, and no one dares to question the authority.

And while waiting like this, what happened in the Wenxian Hall naturally quickly spread to the ears of everyone sitting in the main hall behind.

Listening to Wang Xian's report, Su Xuanyong did not ask the three princes and princesses beside him this time, but turned his eyes and looked at the people below and asked.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think about this?"

"I believe that Su Qi'an is not this kind of person." The first to speak was Wenxuan.

"Hehe, it seems that the master still has a lot of confidence in Su Qi'an." Su Xuanyong said with a smile.

Wen Xuan nodded, no words, just kidding, after all, Su Qi'an is a member of his Hanlin Academy, and it is his personal inheritance, and he was personally taught by him, from the outsider's point of view, they have long been people in the same boat.

If you don't support Su Qi'an at this time, will you still fall into the well?

"The old minister thinks that this matter should have nothing to do with Su Qi'an, even if there is, I think Your Majesty should have a solution." The second person to speak was Chu Guogong.

Su Xuanyong smiled and said, "You old fox, you still blame the matter on the widow."

"Your Majesty, according to the minister, if this matter is really related to Su Qi'an, and it is confirmed that he is the one who leaked the question, he still has to be severely punished, after all, this person has great talent, if he is not punished, I am afraid that he will be even more arrogant in the future, and it will be difficult to tame it, just take advantage of this matter, you can beat it well."

"We also have the same opinion as Zhao Guogong."

The fooled Su Xuanyong nodded, "Well, what Zhao Guogong said also makes some sense, so let's wait and see."

After about a stick of incense, finally, a chamberlain eunuch, holding the scroll of the three princes' appraisal, walked slowly.

Motioning to the three people above, the scroll opened, and a sharp voice rang out.

"After identification, the handwriting on the cloth strip, although deliberate, is eight points similar to Dongshanbo's handwriting, and the three of us unanimously agree that this handwriting is from Dongshanbo's hand."

The voice fell, and suddenly, the audience was in an uproar, but they didn't deliberately speak, they just silently looked at the three people on the stage, more precisely, at Su Qi'an.

After all, on this occasion, even if the evidence is conclusive, there are some things that they cannot discuss in public.

Now it's up to Su Qi'an to argue.

Listening to the appraisal results, Zheng Guogong did not rush to give an order and immediately took down Su Qi'an, but said with a smile, "Let's talk about it, what is going on with Examiner Su."

Su Qi'an's face was quite calm from beginning to end, even if the so-called evidence was conclusive, Su Qi'an did not change in the slightest.

"Hehe, if Su says now that this trace is not from me, I'm afraid you won't believe it."

"In that case, then Su Mou will ask a different question."

Su Qi'an was not in a hurry, his eyes turned, and he fell on Wang Chen on the side, and asked.

"I have something I want to ask you."

"Sue

Even if the examiner asks, if the student knows, he must know everything and say everything." Wang Chen's face was indifferent, and he looked confident.

"These three Xizhou candidates, said that I leaked the questions to them, it stands to reason that this matter should be top secret, I am curious, how do you know."

Su Qi'an's question seemed to have been expected by Wang Chen, he nodded and spoke.

"Examiners back to the Soviet Union, although they are candidates from Xizhou, they still have some connections in Kyoto, and finally found my head, who is my Wang Chen? I think you all know that."

"Although there are some debaucheries, I admit it, but I hate the fraud in the imperial examination very much, so whether it is true or not, I will stand up for them."

"Oh, then, you're a good-hearted person."

"Hehe, thank you Examiner Su for your praise, I can't talk about kindness, but when I see injustice, I want to help."

"Yes, as far as I know, these three candidates, after leaving the Hanlin Academy, the first stop was the Zhao Guogong Mansion, which seems to be a little different from what you just said."

Regarding Su Qi'an's pressing step by step, Wang Chen seemed very indifferent, and still said unhurriedly.

"That's right, they originally wanted to find Zhao Guogong to call the shots, after all, their background is still somewhat related, but in front of the door, they were worried that this matter would be inaccurate, if it was confirmed to be fake, they were afraid that it would cause trouble to Zhao Guogong, so they found me."

"Tut-tut, in this way, you are a very responsible person."

"Students are doing some unfair things, even if they are confirmed to be fake, I think with the heart of a student, Your Majesty will be considerate of me, the imperial examination, after all, there must be some people with lofty ideals to be pioneers, as long as the imperial examination can be fair, the student will have no regrets."

Wang Chen's words were touching, even more moving than the three candidates in Xizhou.

Not long after Wang Chen's voice fell, there were bursts of solidarity, and Su Qi'an, who watched this scene, was also quite impressed.

This Wang Chen, if he was born in modern times, it would be a pity not to be an actor, that eloquence, this speech, and this acting talent are really natural, and they are not fake.

It seems that he is the embodiment of justice, the forerunner of countless students holding torches and stepping on the thorny road.
