Dongchang needs talents like you

Chi Ning left Wang Yang's house in a daze.

At first, he didn't think about "this is a conspiracy" at all, he just thought that Xu Gui, a little bastard, was too much of an idiot.Is this the modesty of a talented man?What was poisoned on the first day, what failed the test, what didn't write at all, why the hell did you not write?Those who went directly to the palace test didn't write it?

Ah, although it's not raining outside, I still suddenly want to hit the child, the kind of itchy hands.

On the way back to the East Factory, Chi Ning met many officials and servants. Almost everyone who saw him would say congratulations and exchange greetings. Almost everyone knew that Chi Ning had an excellent exam this year. Promising great-grandson.Sure enough, if the son recognizes more, there is a certain chance of getting the first dish.The beginning of everyone's conversation with Chi Ning is similar: "I heard that your great-grandson is in high school? Can you enter the palace test? I have met Mr. Xu once from a distance, and I can see that he is a good-looking talent. I think this son must not be simple. Sure enough, congratulations."

What can Chi Ning say?I can only smile, with a parental false modesty: "Where is it, I am also very surprised, the child had an accident during the exam, and after he came back, he was silent and muffled, I thought he would definitely not pass the exam. "

As for what each other thinks in their hearts, only they themselves know.

Nothing more than a "bah, hypocrisy".

When approaching Dongchang, Chi Ning also met Su Ren.Su Ren is no longer teaching in the inner school, but is still working in the Imperial Academy. He is the lecturer of the Imperial Academy, which has made a qualitative leap from the past.This time the imperial examination, Su Ren also took charge of the Jinshi examination. To put it simply, he was in charge of the imperial examination this time.The nominal supervisor must still be the bachelor in charge of the Imperial Academy, but it is Su Ren who is actually managing the entire process.

"How are you preparing for the imperial examination?" When Chi Ning saw Su Ren, he couldn't help but ask a few questions. It was not only his concern for his son, but also the status of the next round of exams for his great-grandson.

"It's all ready." The palace examination is a very regular and ancestral activity, as long as there are no accidents, it is generally difficult to make mistakes.

In fact, because the work was so easy, Su Ren was even assigned the job of a copper boss.Tongjiao, originally intended to be the name of the prosecution box in the Tang Dynasty, is the predecessor of rumors.In Daqi, Tongge was used to name the official office that managed the imperial examination supervision system.This official office is not a permanent department, but only exists with the existence of the imperial examination.For example, if there is a Beijing examination this year, then Yongji’s Tongyu Yamen exists, and the officials working there are basically part-time jobs temporarily transferred from the Imperial Academy and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

"How about Tonggao?" After discussing with Su Ren, Chi Ning specially arranged for him to be in charge of Tonggao, just in case.If no matter what they do, there is still fraud in the imperial examination, they can get inside information in advance.

"Everything is as usual, I'm preparing to go there." Su Ren didn't dare to say too much, after all, they were in a public place.

Chi Ning nodded: "Do things with your heart, don't embarrass Your Majesty."

"Yes."

The father and son chatted for a few more words, and then they separated generously and went their separate ways.No matter what they did or said, they were all watched by others, so there was no need to worry about any outrageous rumors.

When Chi Ning returned to Dongchang, he saw Xu Tianci who came to him again and knelt and confessed his mistake, Chi Ning finally realized that he wanted to go wrong before.

It's not that Xu Gui is modest, but that this may be a conspiracy.

As far as Xu Tianci said, when he received news from Xu Gui's high school from his servant, his heart almost stopped beating, and he wanted to beat the child right away.Don't play such a deceptive game.It was a surprise, but also really worrying.In the end, Xu Tianci never expected that before he saw Xu Gui, he had already seen Wang Shi, the wife of the Wang family who came to look for Xu Gui.

Wang Shi immediately sent someone to inquire about Xu Gui's high school news. He was so worried before, but now he is so excited.She couldn't help it, but she still felt that she should come to Xu Gui in person and congratulate her face to face.And this time, no one stopped Wang Shi anymore.

As a result, Xu Gui was not happy when he heard the news about his high school. On the contrary, his face turned pale, and his thin body seemed to be blown away by the wind at any time.With his appearance, it can be seen that he has something on his mind, even though he tried his best to cover it up, the clever Wang Shi still found out.

"Yes, what happened?"

Wang Shi believed in the relationship between her and Xu Gui, thinking about Xu Gui's abnormality during the period of waiting for the announcement, Wang Shi was very alert to notice something.

"Xu Lang, didn't we agree to be honest with each other and help each other? If there is something embarrassing you, tell us, and we can find a solution together, okay?"

Xu Gui's lips moved slightly, looking at Wang Shi in front of him, feeling so sad and sad.It is said that happy events in life are nothing more than titles on the gold list and wedding candles in the bridal chamber, and he will soon be able to get these two major events at his fingertips.

As long as he nods.

No, he didn't even need to nod, he just acquiesced, said nothing, and that was it.Even if something happens later, he can still pretend to be innocent, because he doesn't know anything.

but……

Xu Gui took a deep look at Wang Shi, as if this was their last side, and he wanted to keep her in his heart.After making enough mental preparations, Xu Gui finally mustered up the courage to say: "Sorry, I probably have to let you down."

Wang Shi opened his eyes wide, and the water cup in his hand dropped in response, his voice trembling: "You, what do you mean?"

Only then did Xu Gui realize how misleading his words were, he quickly waved his hands, and explained in a panic: "No, no, it's not what you think, I don't have a pipa, don't hug me, I don't want to go back on my word, I, I just probably don't Way to go to high school, I can't complete the agreement with you. I can't delay you like this anymore, it's all my fault, I'm too useless."

Xu Gui really couldn't understand how he could be so stupid that he would be poisoned in the examination room. He tried so hard to stick to the test paper, but everything was in vain.

He doesn't blame others, he just thinks that he is not strong enough and hard enough.

He not only failed Wang Shi, he failed everyone's expectations of him.Grandfather wanted so much to produce a Jinshi in his family, great-grandfather guaranteed him, and the teacher gave him all the money, he got help from many people, but in the end he was still so disappointing...

"What happened?" Wang Shi still didn't understand what happened.

"I didn't answer the paper at all." Xu Gui told the truth.There may be words on the draft, but the writing becomes more and more sloppy, until I feel uncomfortable and have no way to concentrate, so I can copy the contents of the draft on the scroll. "My hands are shaking so much that I can't write at all, how can I copy it?" That is a blank paper, and there can be no luck.

How could he be in high school like this?

There must be something wrong here. Thinking of the fraud case his grandfather was involved in back then, Xu Gui felt that no matter what, he couldn't pretend to be confused.

One is one, if you don't write it, you don't write it. He can't recognize this ranking.

"I have to tell the truth." Xu Gui looked at Wang Shi with determination in his eyes.For Xu Gui, the imperial examination is a very sacred thing, and he cannot allow himself to be defiled to defile him.Xu Gui felt that he had a clear conscience, he could be worthy of anyone, except Wang Shi.She had waited for him for three years, and it seemed that the sky was about to open, but he wanted to destroy it himself.

He is really not a thing, and he is ashamed of his affection for Wang Shi.

But: "Even if you stop me, I can only say sorry, and I will be beaten and punished at will, but I still have to tell the truth."

Wang Shi, who had already had tears in her eyes, laughed through her tears after listening to it: "So that's the case." She thought, thought... "Who do you think I am? How could I stop you?" What? You did the right thing."

Wang Shi looked at Xu Gui who had become weak after a serious illness. This was the person she fell in love with back then.

Not afraid of power, just to stick to the principles in my heart.

His soul is shining.

"Go to Tongjia and make it clear. I will accompany you. One imperial examination is nothing. Isn't it three years? I can afford to wait." Wang Shi made a decision faster than Xu Gui, "Don't fight with me." Why don't you let me wait for you for me, you are not me, how do you know that I can't afford to wait?"

Xu Gui was completely dumbfounded. He had already prepared for the worst. He thought that Wang Shi would stop him, cry, and complain, but he didn't even dare to think that Wang Shi would support him so clearly and righteously.

It wasn't that he thought of her badly, but even if his great-grandfather Chi Ning was present, Xu Gui didn't think that Chi Ning would support him to report himself.

"How can I be able to meet you."

Mr. Xu... No matter how much he thought about his grandson's high school, after hearing the conversation between the young couple, he has no way to stand up and stop them.Since his grandson was young, he has worshiped celebrities and sought out high-level teachers for him, and taught him the principles of etiquette, integrity, shame, and life. The teachers taught him so well, how could he stand up and drag him down?

Even if, Mr. Xu yearns so much for a Jinshi to be born in his family.

But what is wrong is wrong.

Mr. Xu didn't stop Xu Gui from going to Tonggui to report, but he just turned around and came to Chi Ning again to plead guilty for his grandson's stubbornness and inflexibility.Thinking about it, one can imagine how much public opinion turmoil Xu Gui's disturbance will cause and how much trouble it will cause Chi Ning.

Chi Ning has to say that this kid Xu Gui is really stupid.

If it was Chi Ning, he would definitely not report himself, even if he knew it was a trap, as long as he shined in the palace examination, who would investigate his past flaws?

However, Chi Ning can't say that Xu Gui, who chose to report himself, was wrong.

Xu Gui has always been such a person, he will stand up for Wang Shi, and naturally he will not abandon his insistence on justice for the sake of fame.

"Don't worry, it might not be a bad thing." The moment Chi Ning spoke to Xu Tianci, he suddenly understood what Yuan Jun said to him before.

Xu Gui High School is obviously a trap.

But Xu Gui was poisoned on the first day of the examination room, as evidenced by the imperial doctor's pulse record, it is an iron-clad fact, and no one can change it.Xu Gui could use this to prove himself, that he had no way to answer the test at that time.As long as he speaks out about this matter, no matter who wants to use his high school to do something, it will be nothing but nothing.

If you don't want to be strong, you are probably talking about Xu Gui.

Chi Ning laughed out loud, no, it's a fool's blessing.He ordered Kucai to find his senior brother Jiang Zhiwei: "Although nothing has happened yet, I have a hunch that you will soon have a job again."

Jiang Zhiwei: "???"

"Do you understand the fraud in the examination room?"

"!!! How do you say it? Who?" Jiang Zhiwei immediately became interested.

"No, I don't know who it is." Chi Ning shook his head, "If I know, I still need to ask you? I just want to popularize science with you. You may not have dabbled in common sense. Knowing cheating in general examinations is How did it work?"

"Take a small note? Flying pigeons to send letters?" Jiang Zhiwei racked his brains, and only thought of a few common ways that were easy to discover.

Chi Ning looked helplessly at his senior brother: "You can't even cheat, no wonder you didn't do well in the exam."

It's not like Chi Ning can help his senior brother cheat every time, which directly leads to Jiang Zhiwei's ups and downs in grades. Every time he falls to the bottom, he has to be beaten by his master eunuch Zhang.Eunuch Zhang is not the kind of believer who makes filial sons out of sticks, but Jiang Zhiwei is so annoying that he always feels itchy on the soles of his shoes.

Chi Ning felt that it was necessary to hurry up before the incident happened, and urgently gave his brother some extra lessons about several high-end cheating methods in the imperial examination: "Before talking about cheating, first of all, let's talk about how the imperial examination is judged. Yes, you always know this, right?"

"Fuzzy name system, I know."

"...not just aliases, but also transcripts."

In order to prevent candidates from using handwriting and codes to cheat, Daqi’s examination papers will not appear in front of the examiners, but will be copied by a special person, and the answers on the examination papers will be written on a brand new paper.Once the handwriting is unified, there is no way to think about heresy anymore.

"Wow, so powerful!" Jiang Zhiwei didn't need to take the imperial examination, so he didn't know about it.

"It's amazing." Chi Ning sneered, "This is the root of all evil."

"what?"

"Remember, when copying, it's the easiest time to do tricks." First, the copying person is either a small official or a small servant of the inner school, and they are all people who are easy to handle and short of money; First, copying takes time, and it is difficult for a group of people to supervise in place; thirdly, as long as there are no major incidents, no one will read the original papers of candidates, which leaves enough room for operations.

"...Can you speak human language?" Jiang Zhiwei didn't understand at all.

Chi Ning raised his forehead and gave Jiang Zhiwei the simplest example: "Suppose I am an examinee, you are the copyist, and Xianxian is the examiner. I will draw three circles on the answer sheet. You are the copyer, You see, when you are transcribing, you directly correct the paper for me, remember the answer sheet that belongs to me, and then tell Xianxian this. Tell me, can Xianxian give me a high score?"

"Fuck!" Jiang Zhiwei, whose cultural background is not solid enough, can only use this word to express his inner emotions at this moment.

Chi Ning was basically certain that even if Qian Xiaoyu didn't take money from others to participate in the fraud in the examination room in this life, Emperor Nian Ping would not let him go. This was obviously going to be framed.

In this regard, Chi Ning has only one sentence to send to Emperor Nian Ping——

I have made bets with the gods.

The author has something to say:

——I made a bet with the gods, betting that your orphan has no home.

Cough, Zu'an culture, try not to use it, unless you meet a fool like Emperor Nian Ping.
