Chapter 114: Stinky Number
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, the day of the imperial examination arrived. Yun Tingqing arrived in the capital with his classmates a few days in advance.
After entering the capital, he felt like a frog in a well, and what he saw shocked him.
The prosperity of the capital city far exceeded his imagination, with constant hustle and bustle of traffic and crowds of people, and every corner was full of vitality and vigor.
"Brother Yun, let's go into the examination room together. I heard that this year the Minister of Rites Qi Tianhe and the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple Ouyang Qingfeng will serve as invigilators together." Su Yi, who was best friends with Yun Tingqing, said to him with a smile.
"Brother Su, what's different from before?" Yun Tingqing asked him humbly, because before this, he only focused on reading books of sages and knew little about such matters.
"Let's talk while we walk." It was only a quarter of an hour's walk from the inn to the examination hall, but Su Yi had already told Yun Tingqing the matter in detail.
Normally, there is only one chief examiner for the imperial examination, but due to the cheating incident that occurred in the last examination, the invigilation this year will be extra strict.
"Thank you, Brother Su." Yun Tingqing said gratefully.
The two of them handed in their bags together, waited for inspection, drew numbers, and then could enter the examination room.
"Yun Tingqing, this is your number." The prosecutor returned Yun Tingqing's luggage to Yun Tingqing and handed the number to Yun Tingqing.
Yun Tingqing frowned and asked, "Is this a mistake? Aren't we supposed to draw the numbers ourselves?"
"Yes, I drew my own number." After Su Yi drew his own number, he originally wanted to come here to see what number Yun Tingqing was, but he heard that Yun Tingqing was treated unfairly.
"Go, go, what is given to you is yours. Go in quickly. If you don't want to go in, don't go in." The prosecutor said to Yun Tingqing with a look of disgust.
Yun Tingqing looked at the number seventy on the number plate. What was there that he didn't understand?
I had heard about this incident from the headmaster before, but I never expected that such a thing would actually happen to me.
There are seventy people in a row in the examination room, and they share one public toilet. From small toilet to large toilet, isn't toilet No. 70 the so-called "stinky toilet"?
He couldn't help but feel a surge of anger and helplessness, thinking to himself, "Is this what they call fair competition?"
He looked up at the prosecutor and said with a firm and calm gaze, "I request a new number be drawn." His voice was not loud, but full of power.
Seeing that Yun Tingqing did not look like someone from a wealthy family, the prosecutor became even more arrogant. He pushed Yun Tingqing away and continued to check the items of the students behind him.
The prosecutor sneered, "What do you think this place is? You can do whatever you want!"
Yun Tingqing remained undaunted. He straightened his spine and responded righteously, "I know this is an exam hall, but I believe even more in fairness and justice. If even the most basic rules can't be followed, then what's the point of this exam?"
His words were so powerful that the candidates around him all looked at him with attention. Some showed admiration on their faces, while others began to talk in a low voice.
Yun Tingqing was pushed and staggered, but fortunately Su Yi supported him and prevented him from falling.
"Brother Yun, what should we do?" There is no official in Su Yi's family. If he encountered such a thing, he would probably just swallow his anger and let it go.
"Brother Su, you go in first." Yun Tingqing secretly made up his mind that he would not let Su Yi be implicated in this matter no matter what, so he spoke to Su Yi in a firm tone.
Although Su Yi was full of worries, he knew that the road to the imperial examination was more critical for him at the moment, so he suppressed his inner uneasiness and anxiety, listened to Yun Tingqing's words, and walked into the examination room looking back every few steps.
Yun Tingqing's face was stern, and he stared at the prosecutor with eyes as cold as ice, his lips tightly closed, and he said nothing.
He was waiting, waiting for the arrival of the Minister of Revenue and the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple.
Because after Su Yi's detailed explanation before, he knew very well that these two people were upright and incorruptible, so he could only place all his hopes on them.
As expected, Yun Tingqing's judgment was correct. Half an hour before the exam was about to begin, the Minister of Revenue and the Junior Secretary of the Supreme Court came together to inspect the examination hall.
Upon seeing this, Yun Tingqing knelt down in front of the two men without hesitation, crying out in tears, "Sir Shangshu, Sir Shaoqing, please help me!"
"What exactly happened?" Qi Tianhe's majestic voice echoed in the air.
"Your Excellency, I haven't even drawn a number yet, but this prosecutor directly gave me the worst number." As he spoke, Yun Tingqing handed over the number plate respectfully with trembling hands.
After hearing Yun Tingqing's words, both of them were furious. They had been on high alert, but they hadn't expected that someone would still intervene.
Qi Tianhe and Ouyang Qingfeng exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Get up, draw a new number, and take the exam first. We'll take care of the rest."
"Thank you, both sirs." Yun Tingqing was delighted and quickly stood up to thank them.
The prosecutor also knew what was happening here, so he had no choice but to let Yun Tingqing draw a number again.
Yun Tingqing reached out and took out a piece of paper from the lottery box. He unfolded it and saw that number 36 was written on it.
This number was quite auspicious, and he secretly felt lucky. He bowed to the two adults again, then turned and walked into the Imperial Examination Hall.
Looking at Yun Tingqing's departing back, a sharp look flashed in Ouyang Qingfeng's eyes.
He said to the guards beside him, "Come here, take him back to the Dali Temple and make sure to find out who is behind this."
Two guards responded and took away the candidate who was accused of cheating.
At this time, the prosecutors all seemed a little panicked, as they were well aware of the seriousness of the incident.
After the candidate was taken away, Ouyang Qingfeng turned to Qi Tianhe and said, "Master Qi, let's go in."
Qi Tianhe nodded, and the two of them entered the Imperial Examination Hall together.
Because Qi Tianhe is old, the burden of supervising this exam mainly falls on Ouyang Qingfeng.
However, Ouyang Qingfeng still noticed something unusual about Qi Tianhe. It seemed that he had been in a daze since he met Yun Tingqing.
Qi Tianhe often went to No. 36 to see Yun Tingqing. He felt that Yun Tingqing looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him. He wished he could remember who this person was? Or who he looked like? But he never could remember.
Such an unusual behavior naturally caught Ouyang Qingfeng's attention. He began to wonder, "Who is this Yun Tingqing?"
So he secretly ordered his men to investigate Yun Tingqing's background, but the result disappointed him - there was no connection between Yun Tingqing and Minister Qi.
So the question is, why does Minister Qi care so much about an unknown junior?
Time passed quickly and it was noon. Yun Tingqing was working hard, hoping to write more articles so that he could relax in the evening, or even have some instant noodles and have a good sleep.
Therefore, he simply ate a piece of dry bread at noon and continued to write.
