Chapter 306: True and False Fraud
On the top of the moon, the south wind is leisurely.

In the study on the west side, a lamp is like a bean.

Du Qingshan's expression was solemn, and after a long time, he slowly asked Gu Yi who was also serious: "Brother Gu, do you think Zhang Yuan's words today are credible?"

Gu Yi: "As the saying goes, when a person is about to die, his words are good. When Zhang Yuan was frustrated, he actually tried to commit suicide by jumping into the river. A person who is not afraid of death seems to have no reason to lie to us."

"Brother Gu's words are very true." Du Qingshan nodded in agreement, "If Zhang Yuan's words are to be believed, those who operate behind the scenes and interfere with the fairness and justice of the imperial examinations are really clever, and they don't pay attention to Wang Fa at all. Hey, by the way, the chief examiner of Chunwei this time is Wang Qinruo, brother Gu, do you think this has anything to do with him?"

Gu Yi showed hesitation on his face: "I thought of him at the first time. However, being the chief examiner of Chunwei is the first major task that Wang Qinruo has undertaken since he came to Beijing from Hangzhou. It is too late for him to do it well. How could he condone such a situation? Fraud happened? If Wang Qinruo made such a big mistake in the chief examination and His Majesty blamed him, I'm afraid the consequences are not what he is willing to bear, I don't think Wang Qinruo will dig his own grave so recklessly."

Du Qingshan thought about it carefully, and felt that what Gu Yi said was very reasonable. If Wang Qin cherished his hard-won official position, it would be too late for him to perform well. How could he put his own future at risk for a mere 300 taels of silver.

Over the past dynasties, there have been countless invigilators, graders and other related personnel in the Chunwei University Examination. The hand-picked rankings were also obtained through discussions among many Hanlin scholars. There are too many people involved, and it is by no means a single person. did it.

Even if Wang Qin wanted to give someone a ranking, such a high-profile hand-picked first place would be too conspicuous and too eye-catching.

Or is that Ren Yi really has real talent and learning, and has won the unanimous approval of many examiners with his own strength?
Thinking of this, Du Qingshan raised his thick eyebrows and fell into a deep fog for a moment.

What Du Qingshan was thinking, Gu Yi also thought of, Gu Yi suddenly smiled and said: "Brother Du, Fanlou will publish the candidate's essays tomorrow, and the two of us can go and observe."

Du Qingshan also laughed when he heard the words, and patted Gu Yi on the shoulder: "My little brother has that intention!"

Every few days after the release of the rankings, the essays written by candidates who have achieved excellent results in the exam will always be circulated from various channels, and major restaurants and bookstores will even print the articles into volumes for sale.

This is a real exam question, an excellent model essay, so scholars from major academies will compete to buy it at a high price, and read it by heart.

When Du Qingshan and Gu Yi came to Fanlou, the hall on the first floor was already filled with rows of books, and many guests and students were choosing.

The two looked at it for a while, and Du Qingshan wondered: "Hey, why are all the essays written by candidates after the [-]th place? What about the top [-] candidates?"

"That's right, why didn't you see the top twenty test papers?"

Everyone made a fuss and asked the bartender in Fan Lou.

The bartender explained with a bitter face: "Our Fanlou didn't even buy the top [-] articles."

"Didn't buy it?"

In previous years, Fanlou had the most complete information and the fairest prices, so many people wished to come to Fanlou to buy instead of going to the bookstore. How could there be no top [-] articles in Fanlou this year?

The higher the ranking, the better the article is.

What's the point of reading only the inferior articles if you don't have the top-notch articles!
Everyone cursed and cursed, only a few people bought books with money.

Du Qingshan and Du Qingshan originally wanted to see what kind of beautiful article Chunwei No. [-]'s article was, but now that Fanlou didn't have it, they naturally gave up buying it.
