Ye Xue put the wooden board where she was going to sleep at night, took out the pens and ink she needed to use in the basket, and placed the basket and its contents next to the wooden board. She pulled out her chair and sat upright.
Putting his hands on the small wooden board, Ye Xue suddenly realized why there was not even a blade of grass in the courtyard - the view was so good, the examiner standing in the courtyard could see every candidate's actions at a glance.
And Ye Xue also discovered why the candidates were not stripped naked during the imperial examination because besides the examiners with laser-like eyes, there were also soldiers everywhere.
There were a hundred times more soldiers than the examiners. Ye Xue didn't even have to raise her eyes to know that every move she made was being watched by them.
——With such man-to-man precautions, even if you successfully evade the inspector at the gate of Gongyuan and have a cheat sheet in your hand, who would dare to take it out and copy it.
...Ye Xue didn't expect that there really were one or two idiots.
But after a long "Handout..." sound, the examiner led the person to place the papers and the blank paper for the questions.
The exam is divided into three sessions, three days in total, one session per day.
In the first session, Ye Xue took a look at the paper and found that it was indeed the exam paper she had bought.
Ye Xue remembered that there were countless pairs of eyes watching her do the questions, so she did not answer the questions immediately. Instead, she read the paper twice carefully, then closed her eyes and thought for a while.
Ye Xue opened her eyes, took a piece of white paper, and wrote down the key points of the answer on it - this was a draft.
After writing a draft, Ye Xue took a new piece of paper and started answering the questions.
But Ye Xue's behavior was also the behavior of most candidates, such as Han Ming, Wei Ya... Of course, Feng Jinyu was not in this category. He only glanced at the test questions and started writing.
Not talking about Feng Jinyu, Han Ming, Wei Ya and others, but talking about Ye Xue answering the questions word by word, suddenly there was a noisy voice from opposite her.
Ye Xue and the candidates who heard the sound looked up, but there was a candidate who took out the cheat sheet from the sole of his shoe and was caught by the soldiers.
As soon as the soldiers caught the cheating examinee, officials immediately came after hearing the news.
When the official saw the one with the smell of feet, he ordered two soldiers to drag the candidate out.
The caught examinee didn't howl when he heard this - he had already fainted.
The soldiers dragged the thin scholar out like a dead dog.
With sharp ears, Ye Xue heard the examiner reporting to another official who was in charge of the examination.
The official said: "Sir, look, this is a cheat sheet..."
Dressed in the official uniform of a first-class official, Mrs. Chen, who was once the little emperor's teacher, glanced at the note and said coldly: "Idiot, you didn't know that there was no answer in this cheat sheet even after reading the question..."
The official echoed: "I don't know how he passed the exam..."
Mr. Chen frowned and said, "Go and find out which province he was elected to and who was the chief official at that time... Also, the soldier who was the first prosecutor also took him down and interrogated him together with the candidates..."
"Yes!" the official agreed. Except for the sound of footsteps, Ye Xue heard no more voices.
After withdrawing her mind, Ye Xue glanced at the candidates opposite and found that they who had just stretched their necks to look at the cheating candidates had all retracted their necks and concentrated on answering the questions.
Seeing this, Ye Xue also restrained all her thoughts, turned her back on what was going on outside the window, and concentrated on answering the questions on the white paper.
