"We'll talk about it later. The reporter said that you were involved. Since you were honest, you asked people to search for you." After Yin Xiujie finished speaking, he paused: "Don't worry, if it is really slander, I will give you an explanation!
"
By this time, almost everyone had finished answering questions and were waiting to collect their papers. When they heard this, they all wanted to watch the excitement. The nearby candidates could see this and stretched their necks to look around. Those who couldn't see it also listened.
With.
Su Ziji's heart sank, and he took a deep look at Tan Youshan: "Please."
"You are dead!" Tan Youshan just sneered and thought to himself.
He is now a husband, and he is very aware of the examination room in Gongyuan. It has been closed for a long time and is only cleaned every three years during the examination.
There were historical records in the previous dynasty that when candidates entered the dormitory, there were spider webs everywhere and they had to clean them themselves.
This dynasty was newly opened, and they paid great attention to cultural governance, so they did not fall to this level. They even had people clean it and put in new bricks to prevent it from raining and making mud under their feet.
It is difficult for candidates to cheat on their own. If the numbers are drawn, no one knows where they will be assigned. But it is quite easy to slander them. No matter whether they are old or new bricks, as long as there is a piece of paper hidden under each number.
Already.
In fact, in the first two months when I climbed over the wall, there was no one around. Although I was a little tired, I finished it in two hours. It is easy to hide one in a dormitory. If you check it, thousands of examination booths, connected to the wall and underground, cost millions of dollars.
Bricks, it is impossible to turn over them one by one and check them.
"Now let's see how you die!"
As long as Su Ziji is revoked, there will be no escape from the murder case.
Su Ziji stepped out and allowed two officers to search him in public. Two more officers entered the dormitory to check.
Not knowing what was going on, Su Ziji's eyelids suddenly twitched and he couldn't help but frown.
"I didn't commit any fraud, so why do I suddenly feel uneasy, as if something is about to happen?"
"Could it be that someone is harming me and setting a trap?"
Just when Su Ziji was thinking this, the guard in the dormitory who had received Tan Youshan's reminder in advance opened a brick and exclaimed: "Sir, there are several notes buried here!"
"Oh?" Yin Xiujie, whose expression was not too ugly, immediately raised her eyebrows. She originally thought that Su Ziji might be unjust, but she didn't expect that it turned out to be a piece of shit!
What was even more irritating was that he had actually been deceived by this mud just now. Thinking of this, Yin Xiujie's anger became even more intense.
"Su Ziji, the physical evidence is here, do you still dare to say that there was no fraud?"
After reading it first, although the paper on it did not match the test questions at all, the court rules stipulated that as long as they were involved, they would be guilty. Throwing these pieces of paper full of small handwriting at Su Ziji's feet, Yin Xiujie's face was covered with frost.
.
Someone is really cheating! The candidates who listened carefully or looked here were all surprised.
If there is such a commotion, I am afraid that someone in the examination room will find out if someone reports it. But what if no one reports it? Will the candidate just get away with it?
"Don't make any noise!" Hearing someone in the dormitory making a surprised sound, Yin Xiujie shouted. Under the authority of the official, everyone immediately stopped talking.
"Now that the evidence is conclusive, Su Ziji, your reputation as a scholar..." After scolding the candidates, Yin Xiujie turned dark, and was about to revoke Su Ziji's reputation on the spot, and then expel him. In the middle of his sentence, he suddenly heard
A burst of laughter.
"Hahahaha! Interesting, interesting! Mr. Yin, our family has heard that you have a bad personality. I didn't expect that your temper is even worse than the legend. If it concerns a person's future, we should check the details further.
Which one is better, but don’t jump to conclusions!”
The voice is quite pleasant, the words are clear and round, with a bit of a high pitch.
It was so representative that even Gu Wenfu, who had remained silent, immediately guessed the identity of the visitor.
Hearing the call, he turned around and saw that it was a middle-aged man with a fair face and a beard who came over, and he was an acquaintance.
"Eunuch Zhao!"
"Supervisor Zhao, what do you mean?" Unlike Gu Wenfu who just said hello, Yin Xiujie frowned and asked without giving him face even if he recognized the person.
Eunuch Zhao was not angry and came over with a smile: "Master Yin, how about you listen to our family first?"
Although Yin Xiujie didn't want to listen, she still had to worry about Eunuch Zhao's identity. If she was in the capital, it would be fine if she lost face. But outside, especially if there was an order from me to come in person, it meant that the emperor was coming in person, so it was not easy to refuse directly.
"This is a provincial examination matter. I wonder what Inspector Zhao is going to say?" Because she was in a bad mood, Yin Xiujie's tone was a little harsh.
Others were shocked when they saw the middle-aged man appear. They did not recognize him or guess his identity. When they heard the title of the examiner and deputy examiner, they understood immediately.
This is a eunuch!
Seeing that Lord Yin is still holding back with an angry look on his face, this eunuch is afraid that he has a lot of background in the palace.
Everyone couldn't help but use the corners of their eyes to look at Su Ziji, who was being held down by two guardsmen, and thought to themselves: "Is this Su Ziji, with his hands and eyes reaching to the sky, hugging the thigh of the eunuch who came from the capital? If this is the case, why bother to engage in such fraud?
The means are too inferior."
"What an insult to gentlemen!"
But Tan Youshan was worried. Originally, Yin Xiujie was going to revoke Su Zi's status. He was from the husband's family and knew too much about officialdom.
As long as he is executed on the spot, unless it is "extremely necessary", or even if something wrong is discovered afterwards, Su Ziji will not be rehabilitated.
Now, he was stopped by an eunuch who came suddenly.
"Why are there eunuchs in the Gongyuan, or such powerful eunuchs?" Tan Youshan felt his heart was so constricted that he could hardly breathe.
Gu Wenfu, who was standing on one side and made himself look transparent, couldn't help but cast a scrutinizing look at Su Ziji.
While they were watching, Su Ziji raised his eyes and glanced at each other. Their eyes met, and Gu Wenfu was startled.
wrong.
Gu Wenfu touched his chin and thought in confusion that although his eyes were not infallible when seeing people, they could still be regarded as having some ability to recognize people. Looking at this candidate, his eyes were clear and his attitude was calm. Even if he was a little angry, he was not angry at all.
How can fear and wretchedness be like a student who would commit such a thing as cheating?
He doesn't even look like a poor student.
At this time, Inspector Zhao was already facing Yin Xiujie's displeased stare, and slowly spoke again: "We just feel that using this so-called physical evidence to convict the candidates is a bit too hasty."
"After all, if the note is dug out from under the brick, how can we prove that it was the candidate who buried it, and not someone who was watching over it and setting it up first?"
"This..." These words really stopped Yin Xiujie from questioning.
Yin Xiujie is not a fool. When he saw the physical evidence just now, he was so angry that he wanted to expel Su Ziji and revoke his rank. He felt that Su Ziji looked handsome and had the shame of "how can a beautiful woman be a thief"?
The uproar led to rage.
At this moment, Inspector Zhao had to admit that there was some truth in what he said.
If it were other officials, or if they heard this, they would insist on denying it, lest they find out that it was really the police officer in the examination room who did it and drag themselves down.
But although Yin Xiujie had a bad temper, he was indeed a gentleman. Realizing his mistake just now, he immediately frowned and fell into deep thought.
