After entering the door, there is a long search channel, because the search is extremely strict and very time-consuming, so many candidates squat in the corner to rest, waiting for the search personnel to call their names.

Lin Nuo was lucky, after the candidates in Nanchang Mansion searched and inspected, it was their turn to Jianchang Mansion, unlike other candidates, who had to wait for a long time.

The search for the imperial examination is much stricter than the college entrance examination in later generations, even if Lin Nuo has already prepared in his heart, he still feels very unhappy.

He and the other nine candidates were placed to stand in front of a wall, and a group of soldiers stepped forward, took off their outer clothes, leaving only the underwear inside, and then searched the clothes and even all parts of the body in great detail, starting with the first candidate.

Even socks, necklines, or hair were no exception, and everything was checked from top to bottom.

Not only that, after inspecting the person's body, they also have to check the contents of the package and bookbox, and even the steamed buns they eat, the soldiers will break them piece by piece to see if there are cheat sheets mixed in them.

During the entire period, the soldiers who searched did not say anything, nor did they change their expressions, like robots, performing stiff and harsh inspections.

However, the candidates around sighed from time to time, and let out bursts of 'insulting Sven' complaints, but in any case, this is a checkpoint that must be passed on the way to the imperial examination, even if it is Lin Nuo, he must grit his teeth and bear it when he sees this scene, waiting for the upcoming search.

The imperial examination, is the only way for the children of the common people to be promoted, this road may not be easy to walk, but it is the only fair road in the Ming Dynasty today, in order to prevent cheating, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty have also taken great pains and spent a lot of thought.

Since the time of Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, a strict cheating punishment system has been formulated, and the candidates who are found to have cheated will be 'flailed for a month' outside the examination room, and they will be cancelled from school, and they will never have a chance to take the imperial examination again.

Zhu Yuanzhang is from a poor background, and he has a natural dislike for officials, and his attitude towards officials is extremely harsh, and he is often executed and exiled.

But he is very good to ordinary people, in his opinion, those candidates who are about to take the imperial examination are future officials, if even being an official needs to be obtained through cheating, then how can he be a parent official who is dedicated to the people in the future?

In this regard, the cheating punishment measures formulated by Lao Zhu are repeatedly severe, like a knife hanging over the heads of those candidates with improper intentions, so that they will not stop, so as not to harm the people as officials in the future!

But even so, the temptation to be an official is too strong, no matter how strict the search is, there are still candidates who will take risks and do entrainment things.

No, Lin Nuo and his party of ten people, when the soldiers checked the eighth person, they found a piece of paper from the other party's brush barrel!

Suddenly, the search army shouted excitedly, dragged out the cheater who was mourning, and found a cheater, each of whom could get a reward of three taels of silver, which was worth a month's salary.

Seeing this scene, some other candidates who had not yet started the search had gloomy faces, and they couldn't help but feel sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox in their hearts, and some candidates even took out a note from somewhere and stuffed it into their mouths without a trace, chewing it with a hideous face.

Lin Nuo's expression was flat, and he didn't react in particular to this, quietly waiting for the next search of him.

The two soldiers who searched for Lin Nuo had a somewhat dim face and looked sluggish, and with the keen perception of Lin Nuo's warriors, they instantly felt that these two people seemed to be poisoned.

The two came to Lin Nuo, first looked at him carefully, then lowered their heads and began to look busy checking, but in fact, the two didn't even touch Lin Nuo's body.

Lin Nuo was stunned for a moment, and his eyes showed a look of doubt.

Faced with his doubts, one of the taller soldiers quietly approached and whispered in Lin Nuo's ear: "Please also ask Gongzi to say a few good words for a few of us after the exam, and let Mrs. Zun give us the antidote!"

So it was, Lin Nuo didn't expect that Xue Xiu'er would secretly do so many things in order not to lose face during the body search.

Thinking of this, a hot current surged in his heart, and the thought of relying on the three-year covenant rose even more.

If this kind of virtuous helper is just let go, it will be thunder and thunder!

The two soldiers pretended to inspect him, and after receiving a definite answer from Lin Nuo, they let him go.

After putting on his clothes, Lin Nuo walked through the door, took the exam papers, and under the arrangement of the examiner, passed through the dense number house and came to his own number house.

Luckily, his house is still repaired, Lin Nuo first looked carefully, did not find any gaps in the roof, and did not have to worry about rain leakage and other things, before putting down the exam box and putting the exam papers on the desk.

He didn't start answering the question directly, but cleaned up first, and after cleaning up, he even made a fire to cook, heated the meal prepared by Re Xiu'er, and ate three steamed buns before sitting at the desk satisfied.

There are three days in this exam, and I tossed for most of the day to change to other candidates, and after eating, I must take a break to recuperate my spirit, but Lin Nuo, as a martial artist, is full of energy, even if I don't sleep for three days, my spirit is better than that of most candidates.

There are a total of seven questions in the exam paper, three of which are from the Four Books and the remaining four are from the Five Classics, requiring a total of seven essays.

The imperial examination in the Ming and Qing dynasties did not give candidates too much freedom to play, but had a strict and standardized eight-strand text.

The exam questions will give a certain passage from the Four Books and Five Classics, and then the candidates will be asked to extend the answers, and the answers will actually be similar.

This kind of test is not about whether the candidate has a unique personal understanding, but about the amount of reading and memory.

In this regard, Lin Nuo's heart relaxed a little, if he was asked to interpret the other meanings of those sage books, it might be a little difficult, but this kind of test of memory and reading was perfect for him.

After carefully examining the questions, Lin Nuo devoted himself to the answers, his answers are not novel, but decent, citing classics, the article is written very rigorously, may not be able to make the examiner's eyes shine, but it can show his own large amount of reading, accurate memory without errors.

It may be impossible to win the first place Xie Yuan, but it should not be a big problem to win the promotion!

After all, it is mainly based on suppressing personal thoughts, if even a person with a super memory like him can't be lifted, then Lin Nuo has to think about going to the examiner's house in the middle of the night to have a good chat!
