Chapter 2 System Task: Solving Imperial Examination Fraud!

Hearing the news, Ye Xuan was shocked and his pupils suddenly narrowed.

The imperial examination questions were leaked! ?

In ancient times, fraud in imperial examinations could be minor or serious.

If it is exposed, the examiner may lose his official position at the least, or lose his head at the worst!

The current emperor is Zhu Yuanzhang, who is famous for killing ministers.

And Zhu Yuanzhang also hated corrupt officials the most.

If Zhu Yuanzhang were to know that the test questions were leaked, none of the examiners would survive!

Countless torture methods used by Zhu Yuanzhang to punish corruption popped up in Ye Xuan's head.

Open the official office.

Peel the grass.

Evacuation of intestines and so on.

Just hearing this kind of torture can make children stop crying, and corrupt officials are famous for their disgrace.

Zhu Yuanzhang hated corrupt officials the most.

The leak of test questions must be because the examiner accepted bribes from the candidates to leak the test questions.

The examiner cannot escape responsibility.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't find the prisoners, so they might have to sit down together and then torture them more.

Ye Xuan thought to himself: Can you give me another chance to wear it again?

He kept ranting.

How is this going?

Such a problem arises as soon as one travels through time.

Isn't this going to force people to death?

He was an ordinary office worker who worked from 9 to 12 before time travel. After time travel, he will take the blame for whoever offends him.

Moreover, who is so stupid as to go and vent the problem?

Zhu Yuanzhang set so many torture methods to punish corrupt officials just to warn officials, so there were very few corrupt officials in the early Ming Dynasty.

These examiners wouldn't risk confiscating their families and exterminating their families by revealing the examination questions for the sake of the little benefit given to the candidates, right?

If you really do this.

There is simply something wrong with their heads.

Although Ye Xuan is curious about which pig teammate did it, the most important thing now is to confirm whether the test questions have really been leaked. In addition, he also needs to find a way to solve the matter.

The examiners next to them suddenly turned pale.

"Test questions...leaked?!"

"How could the test questions be leaked..."

"I have such a crow mouth, I have to slap myself a few times."

A middle-aged examiner slapped himself several times, so hard that his cheeks hurt.

"Let's first ask Mr. Liu what's going on. It's so good. How could the test questions be leaked? It might be a false alarm."

Ye Xuan suggested.

"Yes, yes! Let's go ask Master Liu quickly. Maybe it's a misunderstanding."

Other examiners seconded the opinion.

Everyone went to the meeting hall.

The style of the meeting hall is somewhat similar to that of the examiner's room. There are calligraphy and paintings of famous people hanging on the wall, which is full of literati atmosphere. There is a long table in the center, and the examiners sit at the long table.

The examiner Liu Sanwu was sitting at the main seat, wearing a crimson official robe, a leather belt around his waist, a jade pendant, and a beam crown on his head. His beard and hair were all white, his face was full of sorrow, and the folds on his face were wrinkled together.

He is nearly eighty years old.

He has been the examiner of the Beijing Municipal Examination for several years.

He didn't expect that this spring would bring him such a big "surprise".

His heart, which had been with him for nearly eighty years, was almost unable to bear it.

The other examiners also looked worried.

When Ye Xuan and others came to the meeting hall, they saw that the solemn atmosphere seemed to have become a substantial cloud, hanging over their heads, making them seem breathless.

Crunch——

The door to the chamber closed.

Liu Sanwu looked up and saw that all the examiners had gathered, so he said:

"You all already know that the test questions were leaked."

"Master Liu, what on earth is going on?"

"How could the test questions be leaked? This shouldn't happen. Who is so brave? How dare he."

"Could there be a misunderstanding?"

Some officials couldn't sit still and spoke one after another.

"You can see for yourselves. Take those out."

Liu Sanwu waved his hand to signal to the men next to him.

His subordinates placed sheets of cheat sheets, notes and other items on the table.

Liu Sanwu's cloudy eyes showed a trace of clarity, and he secretly looked at all the examiners present.

The examiners picked it up and looked at it.

The cheat sheets and slips of paper were filled with densely packed words as big as ants, which were clearly the contents of the "Four Books" and "Five Classics".

There was confusion on their faces.

"Master Liu, what is this?"

"Why did you bring these to us?"

When Liu Sanwu saw that everyone's expressions were normal, he felt a pity in his heart.

He opened his mouth and explained:

"These were collected by the sergeant from the candidates who entered the exam. The contents inside are exactly the answers to the questions in this year's imperial examination."

"Do you know what this means?"

"this means."

"The test questions were leaked."

"If only one candidate has the cheat sheet and note, we can guess that he got the question right, but the sergeant has already found cheat sheets and notes with almost the same content from several candidates."

As soon as these words came out, the examiners quickly picked up the cheat sheets and slips of paper on the table and looked at them carefully.

"It's indeed the same!"

"hiss--!"

The atmosphere in the whole place suddenly became eerily silent.

Exam questions leaked.

It was their fault.

This is a capital crime.

If Zhu Yuanzhang knew about it, he would definitely have the person who leaked the exam questions confiscated and exterminated his family, and their group of examiners would also suffer unreasonable disasters, including being demoted or dismissed from their official positions.

"Who leaked it?"

"Don't he know that this is a capital crime of confiscating a family and exterminating a clan? Not only himself, but also us and our relatives will suffer together!"

"If I know who leaked it, I will definitely tear him apart!"

The eyes of all the examiners were red.

Liu Sanwu clasped his hands on the table, looking at the examiners with a calm expression.

"The most important thing now is to think of solutions and how to deal with this crisis."

“It’s less than half an hour before the question is released, and we don’t know yet how many candidates have participated in fraud.

If these test questions are really released, we will really become part of the fraud. As you know, His Majesty has always been greedy and jealous.

If he were to know about this, none of the examiners present would be able to escape, and they would all be accused of fraud in the imperial examination. "

"I invite you all to come here to brainstorm and let you think of solutions."

Ye Xuan felt numb all over.

"I didn't expect that there would be pig teammates who dared to risk confiscation of their homes and annihilation of their clan by leaking test questions."

"Who did it?"

He had a headache and held his forehead.

There is only half an hour left, which is one hour or sixty minutes when converted to modern timekeeping methods. This time seems quite long, but it is also quite short.

Because even if you come up with a strategy, you still have to leave time to implement it.

The time for the imperial examination cannot be delayed, otherwise those candidates will definitely become suspicious.

so--

Can you give me a chance to travel through time again?

At this time, the system sound sounded.

"Ding!"

"System mission: solve the problem of imperial examination fraud!"

"Mission reward: Photographic memory skill!"
