The evil guy still has the nerve to question?

Li Yu stood up straight and looked at him calmly, "Student Feng, did I tell you clearly before that Han Zheng's right hand was injured? I said that Han Zheng's hand was injured, and you thought that Han Zheng's right hand was injured.

Why, are you unhappy that Han Zheng was not injured? Don’t you want him to complete the provincial examination? "

Feng Zhe argued, "I...I didn't."

"I don't believe it." Li Yu said bluntly: "I don't think you want Han Zheng to participate in this provincial examination smoothly, otherwise you wouldn't deliberately call him and praise him in front of others when he entered the examination hall a few days ago.

You must want those people with ulterior motives to notice him and cause trouble for him. You want him to not be able to enter the Imperial Examination Hall."

Unexpectedly, she predicted everything he was thinking. Feng Zhe was furious and said, "I didn't! You are talking nonsense."

Li Yu smiled faintly, "You know whether it is true or not. Mr. Feng, someone is already watching you, do you want to keep arguing with me here?"

Feng Zhe turned around and found that someone had noticed him and was pointing at him.

He didn't know where to put his hands and feet for a moment, and he stammered twice, saying stubbornly: "I have always regarded Han Zheng as my classmate. I didn't harm him, you are slandering me!"

After saying that, he turned around and left, his back looking as miserable as it could be.

"Boss Li, I'll go beat him up after the provincial examination is over." Lu Xuan, who had been silent all this time, said.

Li Yu said: "No need, if others see us, we will be asking for trouble. Don't worry, I have other ways to deal with him!"

Considering that it was already the seventh day before the provincial examination, Li Yu went home to rest until noon, and came back in the afternoon with hot water and snacks.

She was still afraid that Han Zheng couldn't hold on.

However, there were many people who had similar ideas as her, and the area outside the Imperial Examination Hall where people could stay was full of people.

She also saw Miss Lu, who was holding a sheepskin bag and looking motionlessly in the direction of the Imperial Examination Hall.

Li Yu called her over and sat in the carriage to talk.

It was inconvenient a few days ago, but today Miss Lu spoke freely.

Only then did Li Yu realize that the three siblings had not returned to the Lu family yet, nor had they reconciled with Lu's father and mother.

"My father always felt that my brother was unfilial and that he lost the opportunity to donate money to become an official. My mother thought it through and regretted it. She regretted treating my sister like that. After all, she was her flesh and blood and she treated her like a pearl for many years. But she also thought that my brother shouldn't have taken such extreme measures to force my father. She always stood on my father's side and felt that we were wrong.

To be honest, I'm so disappointed that I'd rather live outside."

Li Yu tilted his head and looked at her.

Miss Lu felt a little embarrassed after she finished speaking, and she touched her face and said, "Madam Li, do you also think we are wrong?"

"No, I think you are right." Li Yu said: "You have to trust your own judgment."

Miss Lu nodded.

Inside the Gongyuan.

Han Zheng was writing the outline of one of the policy essays when suddenly, the examiner came over with seven or eight soldiers.

They stood in front of the cell with serious faces.

Han Zheng stopped writing and looked at them.

The soldier standing in the front said, "Dear examinee, someone reported that you had hidden cheat sheets in your bedding. We need to search it now."

Han Zheng was stunned for a moment, put down his pen and stood up.

He moved outside and a soldier took out his quilt. Then, with a ripping sound, a hole was torn on the back of the quilt.

The soldier did not stop, but kept tearing it apart, separating the quilt cover from the quilt core.

The quilt cover was divided into four pieces, and four soldiers took them and checked them bit by bit. However, they did not check the quilt core in this way because the cotton used to make the quilt core was netted with fine cotton thread. If a note was caught in the cotton, the cotton thread would be damaged, but there was no problem with the cotton thread of this mattress.

After a while, several soldiers shook their heads to the examiner and said, "No problems were found."

The examiner was silent for a moment, then pointed at Han Zheng's other things and said, "Check his other things as well."

So Han Zheng's other luggage was searched, and even he himself was asked to take off his outer shirt and be searched.

The same inspection was carried out when entering the Tribute Hall. Han Zheng was not flustered and cooperated with them according to their requirements.

After a while, the soldiers who were checking shook their heads again.

The examiner waved his hand lightly, and several people put Han Zheng's things back and let him continue answering.

In a cell about ten rows away from Han Zheng's, Feng Zhe lowered his head, his hands shaking with excitement.

There was a hideous smile on his lips, and his face, which was not good-looking to begin with, became distorted due to excessive excitement.

Han Zheng would never have thought that he had stuffed cheat sheets into his quilt. He originally thought that Han Zheng's hand was injured and he would not be able to pass the exam anyway, so he let him go out of his pity. However, Han Zheng lied to him.

Then he would show no mercy. He would make Han Zheng disgraced and never be able to take the imperial examination in his life!

The scene suddenly appeared before his eyes: himself riding a tall horse and parading in the streets while Han Zheng had to live as a peasant. Feng Zhe laughed silently.

But the next moment, his smile froze at the corners of his mouth.

The examiner took his men back to his cell.

"This examinee, you have openly framed others in the Imperial Examination Hall, violating the laws of our dynasty. You will be thrown into prison and will be tried again after the exam!"

The soldier in front of the examiner spoke in a loud voice, and all the candidates in the two rows could hear it clearly.

Those who were curious immediately put down their pens and pricked up their ears to listen to the gossip.

*

Feng Zhe was dragged out of the cell like a dead dog. He struggled and said, "I clearly saw him putting the cheat sheet in the quilt. There is nothing wrong with that. There is nothing wrong with that. My Lord, I am innocent."

The examiner stared at him for a while and asked, "What color is his quilt?"

Feng Zhe thought that things had turned around, and he kept saying, "It's blue. I even touched the quilt, so it can't be wrong."

The examiner signaled to the soldiers, and without further delay, the soldiers took out a piece of rag and stuffed it into Feng Zhe's mouth, then dragged him away forcefully.

The soldiers did not release him until he left the Imperial Examination Hall and arrived at the prison.

Feng Zhe shouted loudly: "Sir, I am innocent."

The soldier who brought him here snorted disdainfully, "It's a blue quilt cover. The quilt of the student surnamed Han is clearly red. You are totally wrong.

I have seen many candidates like you. You don't have the ability to pass the imperial examination, so you try every means to hinder others. Your methods are despicable and you have no literary integrity at all. Bah! You should reflect on yourself here!"

*

When the soldiers sent Feng Zhe to the prison, they went through the side door of the Imperial Examination Hall. Li Yu had no idea what was going on.

She sat outside the Imperial Examination Hall, waiting calmly.

As time went by, the number of candidates who could not hold on continued to grow. Some candidates knew that they had no hope of passing the exam this year, and they could not control their emotions and burst into tears after leaving the Imperial College, which made people feel sad.

The ninth day was surprisingly good. Perhaps because it was almost over, the candidates regained some strength and only a few came out throughout the morning.

On the afternoon of the ninth day, the examinees in the Imperial Examination Hall and the people waiting outside the hall all became anxious.
