Chapter 466 Fraud
"Do you still remember the old man outside the inn? He told us that we could get the test questions of this township examination. If we memorized them in advance, wouldn't we be able to pass all of them." When Brother Bai said this, he was still a little excited .

Yun Yiyi was speechless. She thought she was selling betting test papers, but it turned out that she was selling the answers. From this point of view, it was fake. If that person had the answers, he would have taken the exam by himself. How could he sell them? This kind of trick is simply too low-level, and some people will believe it.

"Brother Yan, even if you have the confidence to pass the exam, don't you want to get a better ranking in the exam? You have this opportunity now, and you must seize it. We are all reliable and will not leak the news .” Brother Bai continued to persuade.

Yun Yiyi said: "How could that person have the answer? Even the examiners don't know the test questions of the township examination every year. The test questions will only be revealed when the test papers are opened tomorrow. Before that, they are all kept secret, except today Emperor, no one is qualified to know the test questions."

The imperial examinations were no small matter. The examiners who wrote the questions were not allowed to go home until the end of the exam, and they were not allowed to talk to others, just to prevent the exam questions from being leaked.

Today's emperor attaches great importance to imperial examinations, and the questions are all carefully considered by students. If they encounter fraudsters, they will be severely punished.Someone once brought a cheat sheet to the examination room, and after being discovered, he was beheaded immediately, so no one dared to cheat in the examination room again.

But those who are not sure are still eager to move, after all, this is an opportunity to turn around.You can't cheat in the exam room, but you can always cheat in the exam room.They memorized the answer in their heads, so it's safe, who knows?It can be said that this is a very safe way of cheating.

If a few of them collude and plagiarize separately at that time, it will be able to ensure that the test papers will not be the same, and it will not be possible to judge cheating.After all, there is an unwritten rule in the Great Zhou Kingdom. If two identical test papers are found in the examination room, they will be judged as plagiarists.

Hearing Yun Yiyi's words, the eyes of the other candidates flickered. They were not stupid. Why didn't they know this truth? It is impossible for the imperial examination questions to be leaked. After all, they are very clear about the confidentiality of the test papers.

But the old man kept saying that one of his relatives happened to know one of the people who asked the question, and he happened to have the answer in his hand, of course not all, only a large part. For them, even if there is only a little answer, they are all satisfied .

In fact, they were also skeptical, how could this kind of pie hit their heads, and the old man not only found them, some candidates didn't believe it at all, some candidates were dubious, and a few of them completely believed it.

They all have no confidence in themselves, and they have a fluke mentality. If it is fake, let it be, but if it is true, after the bet is right, won't it make people look at it with admiration?
"What do you know as a woman? We are discussing important matters. Brother Yan, why don't you take a gamble that you may not be the top of the case this time. The township examination is completely different from the county examination."

Yan Qinghe shook his head: "I think what the lady said is very reasonable, I still don't want to participate in this matter."

The answer that the old man sold was very expensive, one piece cost 500 taels of silver, the price seemed to be real, if the answer was real, it would be priceless, so it doesn't matter if it is more expensive.But if it is fake, it is just a piece of waste paper, and 500 taels is not a small amount.

A few of them discussed it and planned to buy a copy of the answer together. Each of them only paid a few dozen taels of silver, which seemed not so expensive.But this person can't be found casually. If they find someone they don't know well and have a strong temper, they may report it directly, but they just can't bear it.

The man persuaded Yan Qinghe a few more words, but Yan Qinghe refused outright, not at all interested in the answers they gave.

"Brother Yan, it seems that we are not in the same way. What happened to me today, let's pretend it never happened before." Brother Bai saw that he couldn't be persuaded, so he just gave up.He originally thought that he knew Yan Qinghe quite well. Yan Qinghe was gentle, soft-tempered, and knowledgeable. He was originally a confidant, and they both wanted to keep climbing. I have no guts at all.

Yan Qinghe hummed, he couldn't bear to lose a friend about to lose: "Brother Bai, don't worry, I'm not a talkative person, we haven't met tonight."

After the few people left, Yun Yiyi closed the door tightly, and said: "They are really courageous. Fraud in the imperial examination is a crime of beheading. Now that we know this secret, will it implicate us as well?"

Yan Qinghe lowered his eyes and smiled: "No, they haven't been here today."

Yun Yiyi immediately understood that those people did some shady things, so naturally they didn't want to be known by outsiders.

"I think what they said makes sense. You said how easy it is to get the answer. If it is so easy, is it still called an imperial examination? The old man is not a liar, right?" one of the candidates asked.

"Keep down, we are talking back in the house, be careful that the walls have ears."

In fact, they didn't want to buy the answer. The reason was that they suspected that the answer was wrong. How could such a good thing happen to them, but they persuaded each other a few words, and everyone was persuaded again.

"Will they tell the story? Now he has not agreed. If we pass the exam later, what if it arouses jealousy and exposes us?" One examinee asked, and the person he was talking about was Yan Qinghe.

"Don't worry, no, he is still a gentleman and would not do such a thing. Besides, even if he wants to expose us, there must be evidence. We didn't cheat in the examination room. What are we afraid of?" They used their brains memory.

"It's only a few hours before the exam tomorrow. What should we do now? We haven't found enough people yet. Even if it's just a few of us, everyone will get a lot of money. It's not worth it at all."

"Why don't we look for it now to see if there are other candidates who are willing to join us, but we also need someone we can trust." A candidate thought for a while, and suddenly came up with a brilliant idea, "Our Don't show up in person this time, so as not to reveal your identity, and end up being messed up. Let's find someone, ask him to knock on the door one by one, and then ask those candidates if they have any intentions. As long as they have ideas, they will be drawn to join us Son, when we get the answer, we can recite it together."

"It's a very good plan. Let's all stay together tonight and don't separate."

After discussing the plan, several people planned to find someone. This person is not difficult to find, as long as they are willing to pay some money, it will be done.

This matter has to be resolved quickly, otherwise when everyone falls asleep, it will be easy to do, and each of them needs to spend time reciting, so naturally this matter should be resolved early.

After a lot of tossing, they finally gathered more than [-] people. A bunch of people were in the room, and they started to collect money, because Brother Bai was the initiator between them, so he would pay the money.

"Let me say it first, this answer may not be true, we are taking a gamble, if it is true, this amount of money will not count at all, if it is false, then admit it, anyway, the money is not too much ” He said, it’s only more than twenty taels of silver, which is really not too much. The candidates here don’t say how rich they are, but they must not be poor, otherwise they wouldn’t be here.

A few people came here in a daze. After hearing that there were exam answers, so many people participated, and they also had some money on them. They had a herd mentality in their hearts and followed them.

"Understood, don't worry, even if it's fake, we won't blame you, it's all money we voluntarily gave."

"Yes, it's getting late now, let's start collecting money."

In the end, one of the candidates collected the money and gave it to the people who had contacted before, and the rest of them waited inside.

"What do you think the test questions will be like?" For the answers sold this time, in addition to the test questions, someone wrote the answers, which can be said to be a one-stop service.If you just sell them test questions, you don't have much time to do the questions at this time, so the price is just a bit more expensive.

"I don't know, but it is said that this year's test questions are difficult." Brother Bai said, he is also a little excited now, and will see the test questions soon.

He was quickly persuaded today, and immediately recruited many people. It can be said that these people were basically found by him, and he is very familiar with him now.Although he has always been ungrateful but not courageous, he really wanted to pass the provincial examination. He had thought about cheating before, but he just thought about it and didn't dare to actually practice it.

This time, he was given a chance. If he had taken the exam according to his normal level, he would definitely fail the provincial exam. But now it is different, he can read the questions in advance.

Time passed by every minute and every second. At first, everyone was still chatting, but later, they became a little sleepy, and there were some small voices in the room: "Is it true?"

"It must be true. I also heard what they said today."

"what's up?"

"That is to say, someone cheated in the provincial examination three years ago, and they did it quite successfully. It is said that the uncle of that person was a high-ranking official with connections in the imperial court, so he could get the test questions. In fact, this kind of thing happens in every exam. It’s just that we don’t know.” Today the old man pulled him over and said these words, which meant that he definitely had the answer, and it was the real answer.

In fact, there have been no fraud cases in recent years. This is also because the current emperor attaches great importance to it, and it is very strict. But who knows if there is a secret operation, and if there is, the common people do not know.

There have always been speculations about this kind of words, and they just talked about it in private, but every time they heard it, they really felt boundless anger.
