After the death escape, I became the white moonlight of the crazy tyrant

It was the first time for Wen Hemian to participate in setting the questions. While it was new, it also brought some shock to Lord Xu about the modern questions.

For example, the well-known spare volume system.

When Lord Xu heard this, he was curious and excitedly pulled her to perform a set, which he also showed to the Emperor. He had not thought that there would be any problems, but now he actually had the opportunity to use it.

While feeling relieved, Lord Xu felt a deep hatred for the person who leaked the test questions.

The imperial examination was the best opportunity for common people to turn their lives around, yet there were people who tampered with it, and their sinister intentions were evident.

As he was speaking, Xie Lang rushed to the palace.

The night was cold, but he restrained his arrogance the moment he entered the mansion and disguised himself as a gentle person. After seeing Lord Xu who was already chatting with Wen Hemian, his expression became a little serious.

Lord Xu bowed quickly and said, "Your Majesty."

Xie Lang raised his hand to signal him not to be polite.

Wen Hemian had the privilege of not having to perform formalities. He sat still and waited until Xie Lang came over before he said in a deep voice, "We need to change the topic."

"I have already given instructions before coming here. Fortunately, it is not too late."

Xie Lang glanced around and walked straight to Wen Hemian and sat down: "Does the Grand Master have any doubts about the candidate?"

Wen Hemian shook his head, not having time to pursue these small details, and asked, "Where is Lord Xu?"

Lord Xu sighed, "No. After the second exam, when they find out that the questions have been changed, some people will definitely jump up and down."

Examination cheating must be related to vested interests. Most of the candidates who mixed up with Xunsi were either rich or noble. They spent money but did not get the correct questions, so someone must have come to argue with them.

Wen Hemian: "Okay, Lord Xu, please don't leak the news for now. There are people keeping an eye on Xun Si."

Lord Xu: "I know the seriousness of the matter, Lord Wen and Your Majesty please rest assured."

The three of them had a brief discussion, and after they had worked out a strategy, Lord Xu took his leave first.

It was not convenient for Xie Lang to go back to the palace at night. After such a long time, Wen Hemian finally spoke to him again: "Stay in the mansion tonight."

Even though he knew that Wen Hemian had definitely not kept him for any other reason, Xie Lang's eyes still lit up: "Okay, thank you, Master."

When he gets serious, one can feel sorry for him from the bottom of one's heart.

Wen Hemian lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Go and rest early."

……

Fortunately, Dazhao's printing technology was well developed. Although the topic was changed temporarily, it took some time, but after working overtime, it was still printed in time, and then sealed and sent to the Imperial Examination Hall.

Xun Si got the questions in advance and should have been confident, but for some reason, his heart was beating exceptionally fast today.

When he entered the Imperial Examination Hall and the time came, the questions were handed out. When he saw the unfamiliar words on them, he suddenly felt cold all over and finally understood where his uneasiness came from.

He finished answering the questions in a daze, walked out of the Imperial Examination Hall, and then walked home like a wandering soul. Before he reached his destination, someone grabbed Xun Si's neck and dragged him into an alley.

The person holding him back punched him hard, cursing: "You got all the answers right in the first round, why not in the second round? Tell me, were you hiding something on purpose?"

"That's right. They charged us so much money. The more I think about it, the angrier I get. Give us our money back!"

There was more than one person coming, and Xun Si was immediately awakened by the pain, begging for mercy: "I don't know what's going on, I have to go back and ask my dad!"

Seeing Xun Si's cowardly look, those people still had hesitation on their faces, but they also knew that this matter must not be spread out. They looked at each other and said, "We will go back with you."

Xun Si didn't dare to have any opinion, so he had to agree and took a group of people home by a detour.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw his father and Lord Fei sitting in the courtyard with anxious looks, as if they were discussing something. When he heard the noise, he looked over and saw a large group of people behind him. Both sides were stunned.

Xun Si's father's face immediately changed and he cursed, "Why did you bring someone here?"

Just as Xun Si was about to explain, he heard hurried footsteps outside. People appeared out of nowhere and surrounded the entire house in an instant, with scimitars on their waists and looking very imposing.

Huo Ping jumped down from the wall and landed right in the middle of the courtyard. He took out his badge and waved it, looking around with a half-smile in his eyes: "I am Huo Ping, the commander of the Imperial Guards. I have been ordered by His Majesty to arrest those who cheated in the imperial examination. Everyone, please go ahead."

When Lord Fei saw Huo Ping appear, his heart was finally at ease.

The faces of the students gathered at the door turned pale. They didn't expect that they just wanted to seek justice, but accidentally brought themselves into Huo Ping's hands.

The arrest went quite smoothly.

I can only say that it was quite a coincidence. If Xun Si had not made a noise in public that day, he would not have attracted the attention of His Majesty and Lord Wen. Now that they have investigated, it will be a disaster!

Huo Ping had no good feelings towards these guys who cheated in the imperial examination. He took them back and threw them into jail, then returned to the palace to report.

The next day, the case of students and examiners cheating in the imperial examination was reported to the court.

The censors were immediately furious and started clamoring for the emperor to investigate the matter. Ning Hechu just stood there with a look of shock and confusion on his face.

Wen Hemian guessed, could it be that this matter had nothing to do with him?

Regardless of whether it is related or not, we must investigate it thoroughly.

Xie Lang said: "Thanks to the fact that the Grand Tutor and Xu Jijiu noticed this in advance, the questions were changed temporarily. All students involved in this case will be expelled pending trial. In addition, in addition to re-setting the questions for the third exam, I have specially ordered the Dali Temple Minister to conduct a thorough investigation, and the Zuodu Yushi will assist in the supervision and jointly supervise the case."

The imperial examination was held every three years and was particularly serious, and no one dared to underestimate the cheating involved.

The emperor had made the final decision, and no one said anything else.

Throughout the whole process, except for the initial surprise, Ning Hechu remained as calm as a mountain and kept a distance from the matter. It seemed that he was really unaware of the matter.

But he had been in the court for many years and had become an old fox, so Wen Hemian did not rashly exclude him.

If this imperial examination was ruined, it would be obvious who would be the biggest beneficiary.

After the court was adjourned, the ministers could not help but continue discussing the matter as they walked out.

Ning Hechu crossed his arms and walked slowly to Wen Hemian's side. He seemed to have thought of something interesting and laughed, "Master Wen, do you suspect that I did this?"

Wen Hemian admitted that she did not hide her doubtful look. She pretended to be thoughtful: "I just saw that Prime Minister Ning was particularly happy. Could it be that cheating in the imperial examination is a good thing for you?"

Hearing that Wen Hemian was openly mocking him, Ning Hechu was very good-tempered: "It's hard to say."

The corners of Wen Hemian's mouth twitched.

Who knows what Ning Hechu is planning by arguing with her in such a subtle way.

Just as she was about to leave, Ning Hechu said meaningfully, "In my impression, Prince Huailing and the Princess are both decisive people. Master Wen's character makes me a little suspicious. Are you really their biological son?"

Wen Hemian paused.
