Chapter Ninety-Four: Delaying the Exam

Night!

The heat of the day sown by the poison sun on the earth has been completely dissipated, and preparations are being made to take on the same heat the next day.

Gongin!

Inside the No. 9 examination prison.

Ma De had already taken off his official robe at this time, and was extremely indecently naked with his upper body to catch a cold.

He had been in this hateful, cramped, sour, mosquito-infested prison for three days. However, even so, he still wants to stay here. Because, there is still one candidate in his examination supervision who has not submitted the paper.

I'm afraid this is the only guy in the entire Gongyuan who hasn't handed in the paper yet.

Even if he couldn't go out, Ma De could still know very clearly that the other people in the examination prison had already handed in the papers half a day, or even a day ago. Even if you don't finish the question, you have already given up when you see that the time is about the same. However, how could there be such a guy in the examination supervisor he was in charge of?

"You can really hold on!"

Ma De looked at the small examination room opposite, a man with a height of 1.9 meters used a woman's eating method to chew on the dumplings carefully, and he was angry.

"Three questions, your kid only did two in three days, and the other one hasn't even started to break the question, and now there are less than two hours left before the deadline for the final handing in, which one do you still insist on? ……”

The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, but Ma De still maintained a little bit of sanity...... It's not easy for candidates at this time, since people are insisting, let's stick to it...... After only reading nine books in ten years, it was too difficult to excel, leaving him a small chance. (The Qing Dynasty scientific examination only examines the content of the four books, five classics and nine books, and the annotations are only Zhu Xi's)

……

However, an hour has passed like this, and the strong man-level candidates who have made Ma De so hot still haven't started writing.

"Hey, the hour is coming, you can't write it yet, you can hand it in if you don't write it, right?"

Mader finally couldn't help himself, and motioned for the guard to come forward and knock on the guy's table.

"Please wait, please...... Students are thinking. The strong man stood up and bent down to the prisoner and pleaded.

"You still have a question that you haven't started writing, there is only one hour left, what else can you write?" Ma De frowned, holding back his anger, and questioned this candidate who had been stubbornly drilling.

"Ten years of cold window, all in this subject, please give the adults more time, the students thank the adults......" Although this candidate is strong, he really can't find the slightest bit of strong breath all over his body, and his words are bitter, which makes Ma De feel as if he is forcing a good person to become a prostitute.

"Gotta get it, you better hurry up......"

……

Another half an hour passed, and the strong man finally started writing...... However, at this time, there was only half an hour left before the time to hand in the papers.

……

"Bang!"

Bang bang!

It's time to go.

"The time has come, and the candidates in each room have handed in their papers......"

Although the voice was shouted quite loudly, but now that there is only one candidate left in the Quangong Academy, such a loud shout is really a bit redundant.

"Submit the papers!"

Ma De put on his official uniform, walked to the examination room of the strong candidate, and said seriously. At the same time, he also glanced at the candidate's desk, and secretly felt cool in his heart, "I said I would have given up, and I only wrote half a piece of paper to have a fart ......."

"Adults, please wait, the students haven't finished writing yet......"

"How long do you want to write? The time has come...... "Several guards who stayed in the examination supervision with Ma De were also very unhappy, although the salary has doubled in the past few days, but this day is really sad, but now that the time has come, there are still people dragging it."

"My lord, the student is stupid, and he was lucky to be able to enter the Beijing exam, I hope the adult will not urge, and ...... with the merit of all the students," the strong man candidate said again.

"I mean, what's the matter with you? Since you know that you are stupid and difficult to achieve results, you should hand in the papers early, why are you still addicted? Mader said displeased.

"My lord, the emperor list has not been released, who is in high school? Who is named Sun Shan? Students don't want to have him, they just want to be able to try their best, and hope that adults will succeed! ......" strong man candidate begged.

"Less wordy! When to submit the paper is a system, how can it be changed because of you? Don't hurry up and hand in the papers! One of the guards shouted, stepping forward to grab the test paper.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" The strong man candidate did not protect his papers, but suddenly knelt on the ground, pleading with tears in his eyes: "My life's work, in this day, I also ask you not to urge, in order to become a contemptible person." After speaking, he bowed his head deeply.

"You...... You look so big, what's ...... Are you still a man? Ma and the others were angry and anxious, and at the same time they had more sympathy for this strong man candidate. Also, it is really not easy to participate in the scientific examination now, it is really difficult to walk a long way to Beijing and stay in the examination room for several days in a row. Especially this candidate, who is more than 1.9 meters old, is now kneeling in front of him, this kind of "sincerity" really makes him a little unbearable.

"Hey, this is the time...... Can it be delayed? Finally, Mader's sympathy prevailed, and he asked the guard.

"This ...... There has been a precedent and it can be delayed for a while, but ...... "Of course the supervisor knows what Ma De's identity is, this adult is not an official of the Ministry of Rites, nor is he an authentic invigilator, it is the chief examiner Gao Da who "asked" him from the emperor's side, since everyone who came to play "volunteers" agreed to work overtime, they couldn't say anything.

"That's good!" Ma De nodded, and said to the strong man candidate: "Write, hurry up and ......"

"Thank you, sir!" Kowtowed with great joy, and the strong man stood up unhurriedly, returned to his seat unhurriedly, straightened his clothes unhurriedly, and rewrote unhurriedly. - Mader almost vomited blood in anger when he saw it.

"Who is this?" He howled in his heart!

……

One more day!

"The No. 9 exam supervisor has not yet handed in the papers!" Deputy Chief Examiner Ma Qi and Chen Yuanlong sat on both sides of the lobby of the Gongyuan, reporting to Gao Shiqi in the center.

"Who's proctoring?" Although it was a rotation, Gao Shiqi and the other two deputy examiners were presiding over the imperial examination for the first time, and under the excitement, they were afraid that something would happen, so they basically stayed awake for several days, and the three of them had six panda eyes, you look at me, I look at you, they were all funny.

"It seems to be Lord Madma...... Chen Yuanlong said.

"Do you want to send someone to see what's going on? It's been a long time! ......," Marzi said.

“…… Let's wait, since the exam supervisor is not opened, you can't trespass. Ma De is not a person who does not know the seriousness of the matter, there must be a reason for it to drag on for such a long time......" Gao Shiqi was also a little weak in his heart.

……

Two watch days!

"The ninth volume of the word has not been handed in yet, does this tribute house still need to be sealed?" After handing in the papers, the candidates quit the Gongyuan. Then, the Gongyuan was sealed again, and the chief examiner and all the officials read the papers together to select the candidates on the list. After that, the Gongyuan was unsealed, and the three examiners selected the outstanding ones and submitted the examination papers to the emperor together, and the emperor handpicked the top three in the first class, that is, the champion, the list eye and the tanhua. But now, because of Ma De's delay, the test papers cannot be gathered, and the Gongyuan has not been able to seal it. Therefore, Ma Qi and Chen Yuanlong were a little anxious.

"Send someone up there and take a look, and see what's going on inside! …… Remember, don't make a statement! Gao Shiqi couldn't help it.

……

Three watches!

"You said the candidate is still doing the question?" The fifth group of people also returned, and Chen Yuanlong and Ma Qi both felt incomprehensible about what was going on in the Dizi No. 9 examination supervisor.

"It seems that this matter has to be reported to the emperor. …… Send someone to the examination supervisor to spread the word that the candidate has expired, and his examination papers can no longer be included in the papers according to the system, so that Ma De does not have to seal the name on the examination papers, and just pick them out......" Gao Shiqi sighed. Since he is the chief examiner, he must be fair, and he doesn't want to get into a lawsuit because of such a thing.

……

Four watches!

Ma De walked into the field of vision of Gao Shiqi and the three of them with a stack of rolls, and a cold light of chestnut people flashed from time to time in his two thick dark circles, so that Gao Ma Chen and the three of them, who wanted to ask, did not dare to speak for a while.

"The rolls are all here, the kid is the first one, and the name is not sealed...... Can I go back? Mader asked. The brawny candidate's actions had put him on the verge of exploding, but he still didn't tell the kid that his paper was useless because it was overdue. Ma De believes that what he did was a sign of conscience.

"Master Ma, the Gongyuan was sealed two hours ago, you can only wait for us to finish reading the papers before you go out......," Gao Shiqi said cautiously.

……

"Bang!"

Ma De fell to the ground with a stumble, knocking down a chair next to him and the deputy examiner Ma Qi on the chair!
