Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!

The person who threw the paper ball at Yuan Laosi was scared to death. He didn't expect that the paper ball, which he had clearly thrown next to Yuan Laosi, would be here in the blink of an eye.

The conclusive evidence was right in front of him. He was so anxious that he was sweating and didn't know what to do, but suddenly he thought of a good idea.

"No, it wasn't me. I just saw with my own eyes that he was the one who threw it to me. He must have been trying to cheat and then got caught, so he framed me for it!"

The person he was talking about was Yuan Laosi, who was busy writing and ignored what was happening around him.

Yuan Laosi was about to finish writing when suddenly many figures appeared above his head. He looked up with a puzzled look on his face, with confusion in his eyes.

Why are all these people here to catch cheaters?

"Tell me, did you bring this ball of paper in?" an invigilator questioned him.

Yuan Laosi shook his head, "Ah?"

What does it mean?

The man's expression seemed to indicate that he had brought the paper ball.

"Don't pretend you don't know. Did you bring this ball of paper in?" The invigilator placed the ball of paper in front of Yuan Laosi, wanting him to admit that he did it.

Yuan Laosi lowered his head to look at the contents on the paper ball, and looked at the invigilator with a sarcastic look on his face.

"The content on this piece of paper is what we will be tested on today. I am just an ordinary citizen, how could I possibly get the questions?

The fact that this question appeared on the paper ball indicates that the examination hall was not properly supervised, leading to the question being leaked, and there is also a traitor among you."

"Also, take a look at what's on this piece of paper. Is it the same as what I wrote?"

Yuan Laosi asked several questions in a row, confusing the invigilator present.

If what he said is true, this candidate does look like an ordinary citizen, and the content on the paper ball is the topic of this exam. This shows that the Imperial Examination Hall is not well guarded, and an insider took the opportunity to steal the exam questions.

A slightly older invigilator picked up Yuan Laosi's paper and compared it with the content on the paper ball. He found that Yuan Laosi's answers on the paper pointed out the current problems of the country sharply, wrote about the current emperor's governance problems, and also scolded the emperor.

However, the paper ball was just flattering the emperor, and it spoke very superficially about today's topic, but it knew nothing about the deeper meaning.

It seems that Yuan Laosi doesn't even bother to copy the contents of the paper ball...

The answer to who the cheater was soon revealed.

The older invigilator discussed with the other invigilators and decided that today’s incident must be reported, and today’s exam must be invalidated. All candidates are not allowed to leave the Imperial Examination Hall.

Those who framed Yuan Laosi were disqualified from the exam and stripped of their status as students.

This decision made all the candidates present wail.

He answered questions all day, worked hard with a pen all day, and sat in the examination room on an empty stomach all day. Now he is told that today's exam is invalid and he has to choose another question and take the exam again?

This made all the candidates hate the person who falsely accused Yuan Laosi of being a cheater.

I despise his behavior even more.

Why did you cheat for no reason? Not only did you cheat, but you were also caught. Not only did you get caught, but you also framed others and wanted them to take the blame for you.

Doesn’t this mean that all the candidates present can become victims of cheaters!

In the afternoon, Old Man Yuan, Second Old Man Yuan, Third Old Man Yuan, and Fourth Old Man Yuan gathered together for dinner.

Now they could only stay inside quietly and wait for the people from the Imperial Examination Hall to notify them about the exam, so that they could get together for dinner today.

Yuan Laoer took a bite of meat and frowned.

"Does this meat taste wrong? Why does it taste bitter?"

Old Man Yuan picked up a piece of meat, tasted it, and nodded. "It does taste bitter. Did your mother add extra seasoning to the meat to prevent it from spoiling too quickly?"

"Well, it does have a strong medicinal smell. It must be because there are too many seasonings. It's quite fragrant." Yuan Laosan picked up a large piece of meat and put it in his mouth to taste it carefully, and came to a conclusion.

Yuan Laosi took a bite of the meat and felt that although it had a bitter taste, he didn't think much about it.

"Let's eat. After dinner, we can discuss today's exam questions."

Although today's exam is invalid, it does not prevent them from getting together to discuss.

After they finished their dinner and cleaned up, they started discussing.

The person who had been hiding in the dark and secretly observing them while they were eating showed an expression of accomplishment when he saw that they had all finished their meal.

Zhang Zhiyong's family was very poor. He had spent all his money during the time he came to the provincial capital to take the imperial examination. Just when he thought he was going to starve to death in the Imperial Examination Hall, someone gave him 100 taels of silver and asked him to do a favor.

That is, the laxative was in the food of the Yuan family's father and sons.

He found the rooms of several people exactly according to the contents of the letter and put the laxatives in them.

I don’t know if it’s because this laxative is too cheap, but it tastes bitter.

Zhang Zhiyong couldn't understand. You gave me a hundred taels of silver to ask me to do something, so why didn't you buy a good laxative?

Doesn't this make people suspect that there is something wrong with the food?

Fortunately, those people did not suspect anything and ate all the food with laxative in it.

He waited quietly for the laxative to take effect.

The man said that this laxative was very strong and that one would not be able to leave the toilet without defecating for three days and three nights.

As he waited, his stomach started to hurt.

My stomach was rumbling and waves of pain were rushing up my butt.

Zhang Zhiyong covered his stomach with a painful expression on his face, wondering why he had a stomachache when he hadn't eaten today.

Without thinking too much, I bent down, covered my stomach and went to find the toilet.

As a result, my pants were soaked after just a few steps.

At the same time, there were popping sounds of explosions.

The discussion of Old Man Yuan, Second Old Man Yuan, Third Old Man Yuan, and Fourth Old Man Yuan came to an abrupt halt. A pungent odor filled the air, and they looked at the person behind Qingzhu.

I vaguely saw a man with his pants soaked, holding his stomach and wailing in pain.

"Brother, did you eat something wrong? Do you want us to call the doctor from the Imperial Examination Hall to take a look at you?" Yuan Laoer asked with concern.

Zhang Zhiyong felt numb all over. No, I didn’t have a stomachache. You should be the ones who had a stomachache.

But he couldn't even speak now, because as soon as he spoke his stomach started to rumble violently and his pants were soaked.

At this moment, he just wanted to escape from here.

Yuan Laoer and the others really wanted to go up and help, but they couldn't stand the stench. Besides, they had just finished their meal and it would be a waste if they vomited.

"Brother, we'll go and call the doctor from the Imperial Examination Hall for you. You just lie here and wait for us." Yuan Laoer pulled the man away quickly.

Only Zhang Zhiyong was left crawling in the dark, struggling towards the toilet.
