Chapter 92: On the Major Scientific Examination Case
Lu Chengfeng looked at the rows and rows of densely packed answers as big as ants, and his hair almost exploded.
Suddenly he raised his eyebrows, shouted loudly, and asked:
"Where did this test question come from? How did you know it?"
The middle-aged man, whose heart was beating wildly, was so frightened by Lu Chengfeng's thunderous shouting that he fell to the ground and cried out for injustice.
When Lu Chengfeng saw this, his throat suddenly felt as disgusting as if a fly had been stuffed into his throat. He turned his face away, put his hands behind his back, and ordered the officials:
"Glue his mouth first! Don't let this bold maniac disturb the tranquility of the examination room! Let alone, let him act like this to scare the snake!"
"Yes!" The pawns quickly blocked the middle-aged candidate's mouth.
The leading clerk didn't think it was enough, so he ordered someone to kick off one of his official boots, take off a sock, and stuff it into the middle-aged candidate's mouth, gagging him tightly!
Lu Chengfeng laughed secretly in his heart, it was so sour and refreshing! It tasted like something inside!
He suppressed his smile, made a 180-degree turn in his mind, stopped the car, and ordered seriously:
"Hurry up and report to the chief examiner, Bachelor Xu. The deputy examiner, Lu Chengfeng, requested to terminate the exam. Move all candidates to the side of the gantry inspection area in Gongyuan, and check all the rooms in Gongyuan one by one! Please order Master Xu immediately! The above
!”
"Yes! Deputy Examiner!"
The officials and soldiers moved in response.
After a while, Academician Xu issued an order, and the horn sounded in the Gongyuan, bringing with it a chilling air!
More than seventy candidates from all over Dajing were driven by the pawns to the inspection queue on the side of the dragon gate in the Gongyuan. They were all in a mess, panicked and at a loss what to do.
Lu Chengfeng finally caught a glimpse of his eldest brother Wu Jingmo in the chaotic sea of people.
He still had a face as steady as a mountain, and an aura as bright and upright as the sun and the moon. He did not whisper to the group of chattering candidates around him, but just stood there quietly, like a tree standing in the wind.
The graceful jade tree.
Lu Chengfeng wanted to give him a knowing smile, but he was afraid of being accused of being partial, so he had to quickly drift away and look further into the crowd.
In the corner deep in the crowd, there was a young man in black shirt, alone
Standing with his back to everyone, his thin back did not look lonely at all. Instead, he had a calm, confident and majestic air.
For some reason, Lu Chengfeng always felt that the man's back was somewhat familiar, but he never saw the man turn around for him to see clearly.
Lu Chengfeng raised his neck and looked around. Unable to suppress his sudden curiosity, he tried to step around the crowd and turn the man's face back to the front.
At this moment, Old Master Xu’s voice sounded hoarse but powerful in his ears:
"Ask them all to wait here. Leave half of them here to maintain order in the examination room. The other half are each responsible for an area. When entering the room, be sure to search it carefully! And you, the two of you, are responsible for all
Collect the candidates’ answer sheets together!”
Hearing that Old Master Xu was giving orders personally as the examiner, Lu Chengfeng quickly roared and added:
"Leave a team of people to search the candidates' baggage and luggage again at the dragon gate! That's it! Everyone goes about their business! Act now! Hurry!"
"Yes! Sir!"
All the officers and soldiers were gathered together, and immediately dispersed after receiving the order, launching swift and violent actions with the force of thunder!
Not long after, more than seventy examination papers for all the candidates in Quan Gong Academy were piled neatly on the table in the hall where the examiners were.
The search operation for the room continues in full swing.
Old Master Xu sat upright behind the desk and made a "please" gesture to Lu Chengfeng, gesturing for him to sit down together.
The chief examiner Xu Mengzhang and the deputy examiner Mr. Lu Chengfeng jointly review the examination papers, let’s begin!
After all, Lu Chengfeng was a bank clerk in his previous life in the 21st century, and his habit of counting money could not be changed. When he saw this "high debt" situation, he couldn't help but sigh, and began to count the number of test papers in a fancy way.
Thanks to his damn professional habits, he just checked and found out:
The number of exam papers is wrong!
There have been a total of seventy-seven rooms in the Gongyuan of Dajing State since ancient times.
The reason why it is seventy-seven, rather than any other number, is the feudal superstitious meaning of "seven up and eight down". Seven up and seventy-seven means up and up.
Therefore, the seventy-seven numbered rooms means that there are a total of seventy-seven candidates. I wish you good luck and happiness for the Dajing Imperial Examination Center, and also wish you good luck for the Dajing Imperial Examination candidates.
Good luck.
Lu Chengfeng noticed something strange in his heart, and went back and forth to count the papers three times. There were indeed not seventy-seven test papers, but seventy-six! One was missing!
He was suddenly shocked and thought: In the Gongyuan examination room, which is as sealed as an iron bucket and cannot be penetrated by needles or splashed by water, could there be some minor officials or pawns who dare to cheat with the candidates and cooperate inside and outside?
?How brave!
So, Lu Chengfeng was furious, slapped the table, roared, and asked:
"Come here! Who is the pawn who collected the examination papers just now? Bring him to me quickly!"
The clerk who came forward to answer the question had a look of horror on his face, and he answered tremblingly and slurring his words:
"Yes, it's Xiao, Xiao! No, I don't know where it went. What happened? Is there a problem?"
"You are so brave! Did you accept a bribe from some examinee? How dare you hide the examination papers for others! Why don't you recruit the real person!"
Lu Chengfeng was furious. He pointed at the nose of the clerk and cursed loudly.
"What a small injustice! There is absolutely no such thing, sir! What a small injustice!"
The clerk's face turned pale. He knelt down and begged for mercy while shouting injustice.
"Your Highness may have mistaken him. There are indeed only seventy-six exam papers today. Because one candidate did not come to take the exam on time. According to our court's practice, he will be punished by giving up his qualifications for the exam."
Seeing Lu Chengfeng's excited look, Old Master Xu suddenly came to his senses, stroked his long beard, smiled slightly, and explained to the officials.
"Oh? Someone abandoned the exam? Why didn't you listen to the reports from the pawns when you passed the dragon gate just now?"
Lu Chengfeng tightened his eyebrows and asked doubtfully.
Old Master Xu paused leisurely and contentedly, with that indifferent attitude, as if everything happened just by clapping his hands.
Lu Chengfeng's curiosity was aroused again, his eyes filled with surprise, and he asked:
"Looking at the way the late student looks at Bachelor Xu, it seems that he knows something about the situation?"
Old Master Xu laughed loudly, glanced at Lu Chengfeng, his eyes were sharp, and said:
"Not only do I know who the son who abandoned the exam is, I also know the reasons and allusions behind it, but His Highness personally knew it from me! Hahahaha..."
Lu Chengfeng suddenly realized:
Chapter completed!
