The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 416

Gu Chengyu immediately sat up from the bed and went to the window to look out.

"The evidence is convincing, and you still want to quibble? Humph! Detain him and let him be dealt with." A fellow examiner pointed at the candidate opposite and shouted sharply.

Gu Chengyu saw that he was holding a piece of clothing in his hand, and pointed to it as evidence of a crime.

Gu Chengyu was a little strange. Before entering the examination room, they were all strictly searched, and their clothes were not spared.If there were articles on this person's clothes, why didn't the guards check them out?This is unreasonable!

Could it be that those servants are with this person?It seems impossible, because there are several servants in a row of searchers, how could he bribe several people?Besides, the guards are all temporarily assigned, and they don't stay in a fixed door, so it's very difficult to cheat.

Such a loud voice, of course, alarmed the chief examiner and some candidates, and the two chief examiners rushed to this side.

The candidates all poked their heads out and looked in this direction.

"All candidates are not allowed to look around, otherwise they will be punished as cheating."

Song Shujing, the censor of Youdu, was afraid of seeing the examinees poking their heads out, so she hurriedly warned.

Then asked the same examiner, "What happened? Such a noise?"

He was on duty tonight, and because there were six fellow examiners making inspections alternately, he wanted to go back to the room for a short rest, but unexpectedly caused trouble.

"My lord, when the officer inspected this place, he found that the outer layer of clothes that the examinee had taken off was on fire. The officer wanted to go up to check, but who would have thought that the examinee quickly extinguished the fire, with a flustered expression, and wanted to hide the clothes. Just happened to be discovered by the subordinate officials that there are densely packed small characters on the clothes."

When the same examiner said this, he was a little emotional, "The sky was dark, and the lower official thought he was dazzled, and asked the examinee to hand it over, but he refused."

Seeing that the general situation was gone, the examinee regretted it endlessly. If he hadn't been so flustered, he wouldn't have aroused the suspicion of the fellow examiner.

Before, he thought that no one would notice, so he put the clothes very close to the candles, and spread them out on the chopping board.

What he regrets even more is, if he didn't cheat, how good it would be?It's too late to think about this now.

He was downcast and silent.

The same examiner hated cheating in the examination room the most. After studying hard for more than [-] years, he was finally admitted as a Jinshi and held an official position in the Imperial Academy.

It has been five years since he entered the Hanlin Academy, and now he is just a small official from the sixth rank.

These candidates actually want to cheat to be admitted to Jinshi, so how embarrassing are they who have survived decades of raising people to become Jinshi?
Song Shujing frowned. He was the examiner for this exam. He didn't expect someone to cheat, and it was written on the robe. Who took the bribe?

It's simply unreasonable, how important is it to try?If you pass the exam, you will be a proper court official, and the palace exam is just a ranking.

"Bring me the incriminating evidence." He looked at the robe that the same examiner was holding, and said suppressing his anger.

"Lord, please see."

Gu Chengyu and all the candidates are also paying attention to the development of this matter. In any case, if someone cheats successfully, it will be unfair to these candidates.

"Hmm! It's indeed a cheat sheet. Detain him. First, put the officer who inspected him in prison and interrogate him overnight."

Once it is confirmed that it is cheating, the corresponding officials must first be checked to see if there are any officials who have bribed the officials and the guards to cheat together.

Gu Chengyu looked at the robe in Song Shujing's hand, and felt that even if he wanted to cheat, he couldn't be so stupid, right?Is it really fearless?

Looking at his clothes, he doesn't look like someone from a wealthy family. The robe is still made of cotton, so there is so much money to buy Souzi?
Gu Chengyu suddenly thought of a cheating method in the previous life scientific examination. If it is true, then this person can be regarded as a talent.

This method is called silver salt blackening and developing technique. It is mixed with salt brine with chemical substances and written on the inside of the robe or on a hidden place on the body.

When you arrive at the examination room after you've done it, the guards won't be able to check it out.At night, light a candle and light it against the flame of the candle, and the written words will appear.

Gu Chengyu shook his head and sighed, if this kind of technical cheating, it would be better to spend more time on reading.

Song Shujing and the examiner looked around and found that many candidates got up and continued the exam after the noise.

Anyway, after being woken up, and seeing the candidates being dragged down, everyone felt terrified and couldn't fall asleep anymore.

Gu Chengyu also got up, wiped his face hastily, and prepared to continue writing the rest of the questions.

Usually, the three days passed quickly, but this time Gu Chengyu had a very difficult time.

After three days of fermentation, the excrement in the latrine next to the dormitory has reached the level of highly poisonous gas.

Gu Chengyu hardly dared to breathe. Every time he took a breath, he felt that the poisonous gas penetrated into his internal organs, making him miserable.

He didn't even dare to smell the robe on his body, it must be smelly.

Fortunately, today is the third day, and he will ring the bell earlier, and he can go to the aisle over there to rest for a while, and stay away from this stinking horn for the time being.

It's just that Gu Chengyu feels that he has nothing to love when he thinks that he will stay here for another six days.

The procedure after ringing the bell was the same as that of the rural examination, Gu Chengyu waited until the examination paper was sealed, and then walked quickly to the aisle.

When Gu Chengyu walked by, he was pitied by the candidates in the opposite row.If they got a bad name, I'm afraid they would have handed in the papers early.

Every exam, the candidates in the stinky number will fail because the smell is really unbearable.

At the same time, they were also gloating in their hearts, don't look at the candidate's face just turning pale at the moment.

Try it in another two days?Guaranteed he can spit out all the bile.

Gu Chengyu was the first to hand in the paper, so there was no one in the aisle.

He took a deep breath, and finally he didn't have to smell the poisonous gas.He hadn't eaten for two meals, so he put the test basket in his hand on the ground, which contained dried meat and the leftover steamed buns.

He didn't eat two meals, now that he was away from the stinking house, he had an appetite, so Gu Chengyu picked up the jerky and gnawed it.

Afterwards, several candidates came over one after another, and Min Feng was among them.

"It's still so early for Gu Jieyuan! Every time in the exam, Gu Jieyuan is always in the top three."

Min Feng saw Gu Chengyu sitting on a stool in the aisle, eating jerky at the moment, so he held back the smile in his heart and greeted Gu Chengyu.

Before he took the exam, he had already paid attention to Gu Chengyu's account, and had seen him go to the stinking account a long time ago.

Gu Chengyu looked up at Min Feng, and said with a smile: "Of course you have to hand in the paper after finishing the writing. No matter how reluctant you are, you can't change it, right? Brother Min seems to have a plan in mind, so he should be very sure, right?"

Gu Chengyu snorted coldly in his heart, when he was blind, he couldn't see the hidden smile on Min Feng's face?
What about the stink horn?He can still pass the exam, become a Jinshi, and even want to be in the top three.

"Brother Min came out so early! Huh? So it's Gu Jieyuan, Gu Jieyuan looks like he has a good appetite!"

Huang Junheng came behind himself and greeted Min Feng, only to see Gu Chengyu who was blocked by Min Feng.

　Thanks to the people in Wulin for the reward!
