Dusk, Mingtang. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

A quiet room, one foot in circumference.

On the ground were golden straw mats, woven from straw, about an inch thick, soft, smooth, warm and dry. The warm sunlight shone in through a half-open window and sprinkled on the straw mats, shining with golden light.

Lu Gufan sat cross-legged in the quiet room, his eyes slightly closed, his breathing was long, between one breath and one inhale, the light and dark in the quiet room alternated, as if the sunlight was also sucked into his mouth.

After a long time, it was getting dark.

Lu Gufan opened his eyes, stood up, opened a wooden door, and walked out.

Outside the door is a long corridor, with thick blankets on the ground, no windows on both sides, all sealed with thick wooden boards, and no light can penetrate in, all illuminated by the night pearls inlaid on the top of the corridor.

A moment later, Lu Gufan came to the end of the road.

This is a stone room, three zhang square.

Above the stone chamber is inlaid with 28 night pearls, representing the 28 nights, illuminating the stone chamber as bright as day.

There are four tables in the stone room, and behind each of them sits a scribe, engrossed in his pen and paper, marking the examination papers.

When Zhou Jin saw Lu Gufan coming in, he hurriedly picked up a stack of test papers, came to Lu Gufan, and said respectfully: "Old Lu, this is the test paper that has been changed." ”

Lu Gufan took the test paper, looked at it for a while, and asked, "Zhou Jiaoxi, hard work, how is this test?"

Zhou Jin sighed and said: "Among the test papers that have been changed so far, Fang Ying ranks first with eighty-two points, and everyone else's scores are below sixty points, and less than one-tenth of them passes. ”

Lu Gufan nodded and asked, "Has Li Shenzhou's test paper been changed?"

Zhou Jin shook his head and said, "It hasn't been changed yet." ”

Lu Gufan said: "I'll wait here, you go and call Nangong Lie and Shen Chongtian over." ”

Zhou Jin took the order and left.

After a stick of incense, Nangong Lie and Shen Chongtian came to the stone room together.

Shen Chongtian was dressed in a silver brocade robe, his face was relaxed, he was holding a white jade folding fan, the fan was covered with heavy snow, and said with a smile: "Master Fang Xiaohou really deserves his reputation, this set of test papers is also a bit difficult, even if it is a general in the army, few can answer eighty points." ”

Nangong Lie was still wearing an iron armor, his left hand was pressed on the sword, and he said coldly: "If you can answer the question and answer the enemy army, then you don't need to bring a knife and gun when you go to the battlefield, it's enough to bring a pen with you." ”

Zhou came in and asked several scribes, "Has Li Shenzhou's changed out?"

One of the scribes put down the pen in his hand, pulled out a set of test papers, and said with a smile: "It has just been changed." ”

Nangong Lie hurriedly turned his head and asked, "How many points?"

The scribe laughed and said, "Eighty-six points!"

Nangong Lie laughed loudly and said, "I didn't expect him to be not only good at martial arts, but also good at his art of war!"

Shen Chongtian's face sank slightly, and he walked to the side of the scribe, picked up the test paper casually, and flipped through it.

After a cup of tea, he snorted lightly and threw down the test paper.

Nangong Lie's face was colorful, and he arched his hand at Lu Gufan, and said with a smile: "It seems that the number one on the first list falls on Li Shenzhou." ”

Lu Gufan nodded and said, "Since you have seen it, let's go out first and discuss tomorrow's test." ”

A few people pulled a side door, intending to leave along another corridor.

"Lu is old and slow!"

Hearing this, Lu Gufan slowly turned his head.

A middle-aged scribe stood there, pale, sweat dripping down, holding a scroll in his hand.

Zhou Jin frowned and asked, "Scholar Zhang, what's the problem?"

This person was a scholar of the court, but for some reason, he was actually dragged here to revise the papers.

Mr. Zhang's teeth trembled, and he couldn't speak, just holding the scroll. Zhou Jin walked quickly to his side, stretched out his hand to take the scroll, and his face suddenly sank.

Lu Gufan asked, "Zhou Jiaoxi, what's going on?"

Zhou Jin gasped, walked slowly to the three of them with the test papers, frowned and said, "There is a perfect score." ”

"What!" Nangong Lie and Shen Chongtian shouted at the same time.

Lu Gufan didn't speak, reached out to take the test paper, and looked at it carefully. The other three people stood behind him and looked at the test paper with Lu Gufan.

After a long stick of incense, Lu Gufan closed the test paper and said in a low voice: "This is strange!"

Nangong Lie's face turned pale, and he roared in a low voice: "How can you get a full score!" There are several extremely remote traps in this set of questions, which are absolutely impossible for anyone who is not the questioner!"

Shen Chongtian stroked the folding fan in his hand, and his always graceful face also brought a little surprise, and said, "Could it be that someone missed the question?"

Scholar Zhang couldn't help but tremble, he was worried that the incident would develop in this direction just now.

Zhou Jin glanced at Shen Chongtian and said coldly: "The question was given by the two deputy chiefs, and it was not given to me until last night. Zhou is confident that no one can steal the test paper from here, could it be that the two deputy managers missed the question themselves?"

Shen Chongtian was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Zhou Jiaoxi's words are serious, it's not that Shen doesn't trust Zhou Jiaoxi, it's really a little weird." ”

There are two questioners in this set of questions, one is him, and the other is Nangong Lie.

Compared with Zhou Jin, he is more willing to believe that it is Nangong Lie's question, but he is also very confident in the difficulty of his question, and he doesn't believe that someone can answer all the questions he asked.

Lu Gufan looked up at Zhou Jin and asked, "Who answered this paper?"

Zhou Jin hurriedly took the test paper and tore open the paper with the name of the test paper. All papers in this test will be marked with a slip of paper before they are marked, and they will be torn after the marking.

A name is neatly written on the test paper, Bai Cheng.

"How is it possible?" Zhou Jin exclaimed.

He explained: "This kid fell seriously ill on the spot, and he left in less than an hour, and the Sprinkle family specially reminded him to answer a little longer, but he didn't agree." ”

Nangong Lie sneered: "Good boy, cheating has come to the White Tiger Hall!"

Shen Chongtian didn't speak, his face gloomy.

Scholar Zhang stood aside and secretly complained.

Lu Gufan thought for a while and said, "Baicheng, the old man seems to have heard this name, and when he remembered it, he was from the Flying Star Gate. ”

Zhou Jinqi said: "Does Lu Lao know?"

Lu Gufan said: "It's just a one-sided relationship, I didn't expect this kid to be so powerful." ”

Shen Chongtian sneered and said: "The ability to cheat is not small, even if you are too bold, you dare to get a full score."

Lu Gufan frowned and said, "Who said he cheated?"

The other three were stunned and looked at Lu Gufan with strange expressions.

Nangong Lie said in surprise: "Old Lu, even if I can't answer a full score for this paper, with him a kid from the Flying Star Gate, how can I get a full score if I don't cheat?"

Lu Gufan shook his head and said, "Even you can't answer a full score, who in the White Tiger Hall can help him cheat?"

The three of them were startled, and then reacted, and they all gasped.

Lu Gufan opened the test paper again, pointed to several of the questions on the art of war, and said: "Don't talk about you, the method of using troops in these places is still above the old man, I really can't think of anyone in the White Tiger Hall who has the ability to help him cheat."
