Chapter 357: The Great Fire

That night, a raging fire broke out in the Huiwen Pavilion, and the sound of gongs and drums even reached Liufu, Liu Zhongqing hid in the courtyard, heard the sound outside, and his eyes were deep.

Li Yunxing wants to hold the imperial examination, but he doesn't let their people get benefits, so he simply ruins the imperial examination, and he doesn't believe that there is not a single question paper left, how can they still exclude the ranking.

So many students have been busy for a long time, if the results of this imperial examination are canceled, it will definitely cause public anger, but they can't finish the exam once and take the exam again, it depends on how Li Yunxing solves this matter this time.

The fire in the Huiwen Pavilion was so great that it burned all night, even though many soldiers participated in the rescue.

Early the next morning, Li Yuntian and Liu Zhongqing came to the door with a regretful face, looked at the guards of the forbidden army, and said that they were just here to see if there was anything they needed help with.

However, the marching guards said that no one was allowed to enter by order of His Royal Highness the Prince, and that those who forcibly trespassed were treated as arsonists.

These words successfully made the two of them pause, and Li Yunxing turned out to be such an irrational order, it seemed that he was really angry.

At this moment, Li Yunxing and Wen Daru walked out of the Huiwen Pavilion, Li Yunqing was clean and tidy, but the expression on his face was not very good, and his brows were tightly locked, while Wen Daru was wearing black and gray clothes, and his whole face was gray, and his face was even more ugly.

Since he entered the capital, he has lived in seclusion, Liu Zhongqing and Li Yuntian have both handed over posts, but Wen Daru has never been to any banquet, this is the first time he has seen Li Yuntian and Liu Zhongqing since he came back.

Liu Zhongqing smiled.

"I haven't seen you for more than ten years, I didn't expect to see Wen Daru again, you are so embarrassed, and I don't know what happened in the Huiwen Pavilion yesterday, even my Liu Mansion can hear the shouts."

As soon as Wen Daru opened his mouth, he couldn't stop coughing, and a little scholar suddenly rushed out from behind him, although he was small, he was also disgraced, and hurriedly tiptoed Wen Daru on the back.

The appearance of this master and servant was really a bit funny, and Li Yuntian couldn't help but turn his back and snicker.

Li Yunxing had a cold face.

"Lord Liu doesn't have to worry, there was a fire in the hall yesterday, so the sound was a little louder, but the follow-up fire has been extinguished, so there is no loss."

Liu Zhongqing raised his eyebrows and sighed.

Looking inside over the figures of the three people in front of him, the little scholar couldn't hold his breath the most, trying to nod his feet and block his vision, but he was so short, where could he stop anyone.

"I see that the Huiwen Pavilion has been burned to this extent, I guess there is nothing left, and I don't know if the question papers that so many students answered for so long to prepare for the exam should also be burned down, right?"

Li Yunxing frowned, it seemed that these two people were here to gloat, he turned his head and said in a low voice.

"Don't worry, the question papers are all in good condition and have not been burned."

Liu Zhongqing looked puzzled, and glanced at Li Yuntian, it was all burned to this extent, how could the question paper be good, could it be that Li Yunxing was reckless?

Wen Daru finally relieved himself and looked at Liu Zhongqing.

"I know that Lord Liu cares about those students, but you can rest assured, even if I die, I will ensure that the question papers are good, and I will give really knowledgeable students a fair chance, and I will never allow anyone to peek at the question papers before the exam, and someone in the exam knows the answer in advance, and ruins the opportunity of other people's question papers after the exam."

Liu Zhongqing and Li Yuntian froze suddenly, and both of them looked embarrassed.

This Wen Daru also didn't give them face, so he said these words in front of them, insinuating that the question paper was excerpted.

Liu Zhongqing hasn't continued to fight with Wen Daru for ten years, and he wanted to let this person go, but he didn't expect that he was as ignorant as he was ten years ago.

"There are these things, it seems that the imperial examination can be held normally, thanks to the trouble of Wen Daru, but the Huiwen Hall is on fire like this, is the question paper really safe and sound? All students are looking forward to fairness, Wen Daru will never create this injustice by himself, right? ”

Wen Daru was excited, he was a little breathless, and he was about to stand up and say something, but was stopped by Li Yunxing.

"It's okay to have a question paper, it's okay, Wen Daru and I will be fair to all students, so you don't have to worry."

So he ordered the door to be shut, and the two men were shut out.

Li Yunxing sighed.

"It's not over to continue to climb with them, Wen Daru has more important things to do, let's leave through the back door now, lest we let them know where you are now, and set such a fire again."

Wen Daru nodded, God knew that after the stealing of the question papers, they were extraneous about the custody of the question papers, and they did not dare to relax in the slightest.

On the surface, after the scientific examination, the two invigilators personally collected the candidates' question papers, packed them into five large boxes, and then escorted them into the Huiwen Hall by the forbidden army guards.

Subsequently, Wen Daru was also escorted back to the Huiwen Pavilion, and after checking that the seal on the box was in good condition, he ordered the Praetorian Guards to stay outside.

At this time, he opened all the boxes, put the question papers in them into nearly a hundred cloth bags in front of him, and then smuggled them out by the servants of the Huiwen Pavilion, and came to a hidden mansion, where they were taken over by two other invigilators, who took out the papers in the cloth bags and sealed them in the boxes.

Wen Daru was going to find a way to get out and go to the house on the evening of the second day, but who knew that he would encounter this fire tonight, fortunately, he had been thinking about the question paper, and he didn't sleep well at all, so he ran out when the fire broke out, and naturally saw the man in black who set the fire.

Although he knew that the question paper was no longer in Huiwenguan, he couldn't bear to see this century-old museum burned down, so he kept fighting the fire, so he ended up in this embarrassment.

"Anyway, the prince expected it, those people really wanted to set fire to the test papers, but fortunately, we prepared early, so that they wouldn't really burn the question papers."

Li Yunxing nodded, he may not be able to catch up with Wen Da Confucian, but for the calculation of people's hearts, Wen Da Ru has lived for nearly a hundred years, has been killed so many times, and even had to resign and retire, but he is almost still a child's heart.

"This fire is good, I thought that Wen Daru has a special identity, even if you disguised yourself to go to the past courtyard, it would be easy to be discovered, but now you can pass it openly."

It's just that so many people are staring at him, and they are afraid that they will not stop if they don't test whether the question paper is still there.

Wen Daru sighed, some things can't be avoided.

Li Yunxing has done a good job, making everyone focus on him, the chief invigilator, and the two deputy invigilators seem to be here to make up the numbers, but they don't know that they are also important people in the imperial examination.
