Half-demon peasant girl has space

Chapter 218
The Inner Curtain Officer and the Outer Curtain Officer naturally knew about such a big matter, and when they learned that Zhao Zhifu called them, they came to the government office in a hurry.

Both the inner curtain officer and the outer curtain officer of the township examination are appointed by the prefect of Zhao. The inner curtain officer works in the examination room and is mainly responsible for invigilating and marking the examination papers, such as the chief examiner, house officer, internal promotion, internal supervisor, and internal control. The outer curtain official works outside the examination room, and is mainly responsible for managing the affairs of the examination room, such as supervision, external promotion, external supervision, external collection, acceptance of papers, sealing, transcription, and reading.

The chief examiner and deputy examiner of the rural examination are appointed by the imperial court. This time, the chief examiner sent by the imperial court to preside over the rural examination is Gao Zhi, a scholar from the cabinet, and Wu Jiang, a scholar from the Imperial Academy, is the deputy examiner.

"What's going on with this matter?" Zhao Zhifu frowned and said to the two of them: "The test questions of the township examination were leaked, and now everyone in the whole city knows about it. If this matter is not clarified, it will implicate us. Not only you, but also my official position will be lost."

"This... this..." Both the Inner Curtain Officer and the Outer Curtain Officer were a little flustered. The test questions were leaked. This is not a trivial matter. One favoritism is enough for them to drink a pot.

Neilian official's surname is Li, and his name is Li Da. This Li Da is quite clear-headed. He hurriedly cupped his hands and said to Zhao Zhifu: "My lord, now we still have to quickly arrest the examinee who bought the exam questions and find out from him. Let's see, maybe we can find out something, didn't the examinee say something about Liu Dawei at that time, this Liu Dawei will definitely be arrested."

"Yeah." Zhao Zhifu nodded, he knew this very well: "Before you came, I had already sent someone to arrest the candidate named Tao Zhili, as for the candidate named Liu Dawei, now he only knows a name, but it is not It's easy to find, wait until that Tao Zhili is arrested, and see if he can find out anything."

"Yes." Li Da said hurriedly, "My lord is indeed wise."

Zhao Zhifu waved his hand: "Now is not the time to talk about these things. Now that the exam questions have been leaked, the most urgent thing is to report the matter to Mr. Gao and Mr. Wu. Tomorrow's exam may be suspended. After Mr. Gao and the others report to the court, Let’s see if we need to retake the exam or change the questions.”

"Yes." Li Da and another outer curtain officer nodded in agreement.

"No, I have to go to Mr. Gao and Mr. Wu first." Zhao Zhifu thought for a while, and then told Li Da: "Hurry up and draw up the announcement of the suspension of the rural examination. Once Mr. Gao and the others make a decision, you will quickly submit Post the notice."

"Yes, my lord." Li Da hurriedly responded.

After finishing the order, Zhifu Zhao hurriedly went to the courtyard where Gao Zhi and Wu Jiang were staying.

When Gao Zhi and Wu Jiang heard the news, they were naturally furious. They immediately ordered the township examination to be suspended and reported the situation to the imperial court. At the same time, they ordered Zhifu Zhao to arrest the examinees and gangs who bought and sold the examination questions as soon as possible.

Zhao Zhifu responded one by one, and when he returned to the government office, he heard the news that Tao Zhili had been arrested in the government office.

It is said that after Tao Zhili finished showing off in the lobby of the inn, he went back to his room and fell asleep, unaware of the uproar he caused in the lobby. He even had a sweet dream. Appreciated by the examiner, he was directly appointed to an official position. He returned to his hometown proudly, and was sought after by the villagers. Qianlian's family was still courting him, hoping that he could support Tao Hechen in the future.

However, before this sweet dream was finished, Tao Zhili was arrested by the yamen servants who broke into the door. Before Tao Zhili could react, he was taken to the government office.

"My lord... Your lord." Seeing Zhifu Zhao sitting under the plaque hanging high in the mirror, Tao Zhili finally became sober, his face turned pale, he was suppressed by the yamen servants and knelt under the courtroom, and he felt that something was wrong in his heart Son, but he couldn't understand why he was suddenly arrested in court: "Student...what did the student do wrong?"

Looking at the stern-faced magistrate Zhao, and looking at the government servants beside him, Tao Zhili didn't dare to say that he was a scholar, and he could not kneel before officials.

"What did you do wrong?" Zhifu Zhao sneered and slapped the gavel: "Don't you know?"

Tao Zhili was a little confused, he didn't know, he just knew that he was sleeping soundly in the room, and then he was caught by the yamen servants and brought to the county yamen, and he had to take an entrance exam tomorrow, his appearance was seen by others Go, what face does he have?

At this time, Tao Zhili had completely forgotten about his nonsense in the lobby before, and only thought that someone might frame him in order to prevent him from successfully participating in the provincial examination. The first thing he thought of was Tao Hechen, after all, he had been in the Taoyuan County secretly tripped Tao Hechen, and Tao Hechen might have taken the opportunity to harm him.

"My lord, the student has been wronged." Tao Zhili hastily cried out, "Someone must have framed the student. My lord, you must be the master for the student. The student didn't do anything, but came to Fucheng to take the provincial examination."

"It's a good one who only came to Fucheng to take the township test." Zhao Zhifu sneered: "Did you buy the test questions, prepare them in advance, and then take the township test to prepare for the name of the candidate?"

Tao Zhili was stunned when he heard Zhao Zhifu's words, he was a little panicked, why did the prefect know that he bought the test questions?And took him to the county government?Who leaked the secret?
"My lord..." Tao Zhili wanted to defend himself, but he was at a loss for words for a while, and didn't know what to say.

"Hmph." Zhao Zhifu sneered: "I forgot to say, Tao Zhili, you have already figured out how to return to your hometown after being appointed as an official, right?"

"student……"

Zhao Zhifu was so angry that he slapped the gavel. It was Tao Zhili who completely ruined the provincial examination: "Are you still going to argue? Aren't you very proud of being in the lobby of Yuelai Inn? No Are you saying that Juren is in your pocket? Aren’t you laughing at other candidates for not having enough time to prepare for the third round of exam questions?”

"My lord... My lord..." Tao Zhili was already dripping with cold sweat, his teeth were chattering a little, and his hands were shaking slightly. What Zhao Zhifu said were all secret things in his heart, how could Zhao Zhifu know, yes How do you know?
"You still don't admit it?"

"My lord, student...there are no students!" Tao Zhili's body was even more swayed. He didn't know how these secret thoughts of his were known, but he had a faint feeling of unease, a feeling that he was about to have The fear of annihilation loomed over him like a dark cloud.

"No?" Zhao Zhifu sneered and said, "Tao Zhili, you really don't turn back if you hit the south wall, come here!"

"My lord." A yamen servant hurriedly responded.

"Go and bring the witness, and let Tao Zhili die clearly."

"Yes."
