Chapter 72

However, the attendant of the academic officer kicked the scholar away, and said with a cold snort: "If I spare you, the law of the country will not spare me. Take it away!"

After finishing speaking, the two Zaolis lifted the scholar up and headed towards the inner hall where the great master was.

Daming imposed severe punishments for cheating in the imperial examinations, and in some cases cheating candidates even risked being beheaded.It's no wonder that the examinee was ashamed after being arrested. If the Grand Master dealt with it fairly, he might really become a ghost under the knife.Of course, it is not ruled out that this person has a strong family background. If so, he may be able to save his life, but his fame and future are definitely over.

From what the gentleman said just now, it seems that the examinee brought a note into the examination room.This kind of situation is actually rare. After all, the imperial examinations test the ability to write stereotyped essays. Even if you include some scriptures, how much can you bring?The exam time is only an hour, how much can you copy?

Compared with entrainment, suppression attacks are more common.

There are thousands of counties in the Ming Dynasty, and the total number of questions in the children's examination every year is as many as several thousand.There are so many topics, and the situation of suppressing raids cannot be avoided just by drawing questions from the "Four Books" and "Five Classics".

The so-called suppression attack, as the name suggests, is to memorize questions by guessing.The probability of this kind of guessing is relatively low, but if the guessing is right, the profit is great.Those imperial examination families often spend a lot of money to invite people to guess the questions in advance and write the current essays. The children in the clan will memorize the questions that the gunners have bet in advance. If they can encounter similar questions, they can write the essays intact. Transcribe it.

Over time, this formed a kind of ethos of suppressing raiders, and almost all the candidates in the Tongsheng test were these raiders.

However, the government and the imperial court have not been able to obtain any evidence. After all, they cannot prove that the articles written by the candidates are from the suppression raids.

In order to avoid the situation of suppressing and attacking, the examiner had to artificially separate the scriptures and deal with them by intercepting them.

This way of writing questions can naturally reduce the number of repeated propositions, but the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, it greatly kills the Confucianism of stereotyped essays.

So not long after this method was put forward, it was severely criticized by officials in the court. Except for local county examinations, government examinations and other examinations with strong autonomy, there are very few intercepted questions.

Judging by the clothes the examinee was wearing, he should be a member of a family. The family should have prepared similar questions for him. He probably copied the article written by the gunman because he was too lazy to memorize it, and brought it into the examination room.

I don't know whether his luck is good or bad, but this question was really bet.This gentleman was probably opening the cheat sheet to be transcribed, when he was caught by the inspecting promotion officer himself.

It's no wonder others, who didn't even bother to memorize the article, deserved to be arrested.It is such a person who commits his own crimes and cannot be said alive.Even if this kind of person has really achieved the fame of a scholar, it would be a shame to go to the county school.The county school examination is divided into six grades, and only the first and second grades can participate in the township examination.This kind of person must have no hope in the township examination, and it is estimated that he will die if he enters the county school.

It stands to reason that it is extremely disgraceful to have cheated in the college examination.Faced with this situation, the examiner generally has three options.One is to take the test again, the other is to take another test, and the third is to disqualify the cheater from the test, but there will be no retest.

If there are only one or two cheaters, the master will probably choose the third method.

After all, if there is an additional test or a new test, it means that the matter is very troublesome. If the censor catches the handle, impeachment is not a joke.

Although the grand master Chen Fangyin is unlikely to be promoted in a short period of time, he doesn't want to leave a stain on himself.The most important thing is that the grand master is a disciple of Elder Xu Ge.Mr. Xu Ge just became the chief assistant of the cabinet last year. It would definitely be an embarrassing thing if large-scale fraud occurred in the college examination conducted by his favorite student Chen Fangyin.

Those young people in the imperial court will definitely take the opportunity to stand up and challenge the authority of Elder Xu Ge.

So no matter how you look at it, the grand master is unlikely to adopt an overly aggressive approach.

When something like this happened, Xie Shen was naturally not in a hurry to hand in the paper.After waiting for an hour, it was finally time to hand in the papers, Xie Shen handed in the papers with Da Liu, then walked slowly towards the gate of the mansion.

As soon as he left the school, Xie Shen saw Wang Shouwen and Xie Pi, they should be waiting for him.

Xie Shen stepped forward to greet the two, and the three went to a nearby restaurant for lunch.

"Brother Shenxian, did you just see that the boy from the Wu family was caught by the entourage who was promoted to the school official! Hehe, this guy dared to entrain him. He probably didn't know that the great master hated cheaters in the imperial examination the most. This guy I'm afraid my future in the imperial examination will be ruined, and I'm afraid it's hard to say whether I can save my life."

However, Xie Pi shook his head and said: "The Wu family is quite famous in Shaoxing, so the great master will definitely have some scruples. This kind of thing can be big or small, but I think the big master will suppress the matter first and turn it into a big one. Small, trivial matters."

If Xie Shen had heard these words before going boating on the green lake with the great master, Xie Shen would definitely not believe it.But after he really had close contact with the great master Chen Fangyin, he felt that Chen Fangyin was not a person who was completely ignorant of the world.

Being able to become a disciple of Elder Xu Ge and personally recommended by Elder Xu Ge to come to Zhejiang to be an academic officer shows that this Chen Fangyin must not be a bad person, at least he will not make big mistakes when deciding on major events .

As Xie Pi said, this Wu family can be described as a century-old family in Shaoxing, and it is impossible for the Grand Master to offend the Wu family unless it is absolutely necessary.But no matter how lenient the punishment, the Wu family scholar's fame and future will definitely be ruined.

"It's better not to mention this kind of thing too much, it will affect your mood."

Xie Shen spread his hands and said, "Let's go and fill our stomachs first, otherwise the two exams in the afternoon will be a problem."

"Brother Shenxian said that food is the most important thing for the people. How can you write good poems without food. Let's not let the bird man cheat and cheat to affect our mood!"

After finishing speaking, the three of them walked together to the restaurant across the street from Fuxue.The noodle soup in this restaurant is very good. After entering the restaurant, the three of them found a clean and secluded place to sit down and ordered three bowls of noodle soup and two small dishes.

This place is very close to the government school, and most of the people who come to eat are candidates who have just finished the first eight-legged essay.There were too many people coming to the restaurant to eat, and it was not easy to find a place to sit down. Naturally, Xie Shen and the others would not care too much about the environment.

After waiting for a whole stick of incense, Xiao Er hurriedly brought up three bowls of noodle soup and two small dishes.

"There are really too many customers in my shop at this time, please forgive me, young masters."
