Zhou Jun stood up from the table and walked out of the examination room under the watchful eyes of the officials.
Arriving in the corridor, Zhou Jun walked towards the south courtyard with the guidance of Commander Zhang.
Along the way, the courtyard was quiet, with the only sounds of the examinees swinging their chips and the chirping of birds on the branches.
When they walked to the west corner of the south courtyard, the military guards and minor officials in charge of civil service were startled when they saw Zhou Jun approaching.
Wu Wei wanted to step forward to interrogate him. When an older official saw Zhou Jun, his eyes lit up. He walked over first and asked the latter: "Have you finished the written answers before the test?"
Zhou Jun bowed his hands towards the old official and nodded.
The old official took a deep look at him and said, "Please wait here for now."
Zhou Jun stood aside respectfully.
Not long after, the old official came out again and said to Zhou Jun: "Come in."
After leading Zhou Jun into the hall, the old official said seemingly unintentionally: "Answer carefully and don't panic."
Zhou Jun looked up, then lowered his head without saying a word.
Following the old official, he entered the back door of the front hall. In front of a desk inside the door, someone checked Zhou Jun's identity and class record.
Zhou Jun signed and pledged his name on the roster, and then walked forward again.
After passing the corridor and entering the back hall, we saw a huge room divided into two areas by a curtain.
One area is slightly smaller and the other area is slightly larger.
The old official led Zhou Jun to the middle of a slightly smaller place and asked him to wait.
After Zhou Jun stood still, he looked behind the curtain and could vaguely see five or six figures.
The one sitting in the middle, with the highest seat, must be the chief official of this current affairs examination, the doctor of the Ministry of official affairs.
On the far right is a clerk at his desk, writing something furiously. He must be someone who records exams and lectures.
As for the other people, Zhou Jun couldn't see why.
The official doctor who was sitting behind the curtain first said something to the people next to him, and then asked: "I have a loaner of one thousand yuan, with a monthly interest of thirty. I have a loaner of eight hundred yuan, and I will return in ten days."
,Asking about the geometry of interest?”
Zhou Jun speculated that someone might have reported his accounting examination situation to this official doctor, who was determined to test him.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Jun gave the answer: "Eight articles."
The doctor was stunned for a moment and asked a few more questions about arithmetic.
Zhou Jun did all the calculations in his head, and the time was short, which made many officials behind the curtain sigh unconsciously.
These questions may sound a bit childish to people in previous lives, and elementary school students can probably calculate the answers.
But the prerequisite is that the calculator must master the multiplication table, borrowing method, fraction inversion and other methods.
However, in the Tang Dynasty, it was very difficult for accountants to open their mouths and tell the answer without resorting to calculations.
The doctor from the Ministry of Officials stopped asking questions, and instead asked Zhou Jun: "Which master did you study under in arithmetic?"
This question is actually somewhat illegal.
According to Liu Waiquan's examination rules, in order to prevent fraud, examiners are not allowed to ask candidates anything irrelevant except examination questions and re-examinations.
But the officials behind the curtain were very interested in this question from the doctor of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Even the person recording the matter stopped writing and waited quietly for Zhou Jun's answer.
Zhou Jun just bowed and said: "Arithmetic is a subject. I just read books and studied on my own without any teachers."
The doctor in the official department was startled, looked at the others a few times, and whispered: "Isn't he a genius?"
After a pause, the doctor finally brought the topic back to the current affairs exam.
He first said: "The Ministry of Punishment is responsible for the prosecution, keeping records of captives and slaves, providing food, clothing and medicine, and hearing complaints. Are you familiar with the current affairs of the department?"
Zhou Jun bowed and said: "Please ask the doctor."
A doctor from the Ministry of Official Affairs asked: "Where did all the affairs of the Book of Orders and History come from?"
Zhou Jun: "The copywriting is signed, the talismans appear, and the palm receives the event."
The doctor from the Ministry of Officials nodded and asked again: "Jingsi, the scribes of various states, got hooked on the first day of the sixth lunar month, how to respond?"
Zhou Jun: "Pay the ultimatum when it comes, and make banknotes after paying it."
The official doctor asked a few more questions, and Zhou Jun, who was well prepared, answered them all.
The doctor from the Ministry of Officials was silent for a moment and suddenly asked: "What should we do if we encounter a prisoner who has escaped during a thorough investigation?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the venue was stunned.
When counting the prisoners, I find that someone has absconded from the team. What should I do?
If this question were asked to the county captain or the military guard, it might still make sense; however, if asked to ask about the history of the Ministry of Justice's official history, it is obviously an out-of-the-box question.
Behind the curtain, other officials in the mansion looked sideways at the doctor. The latter also knew that this question was too difficult, so he smiled and planned to jump over.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Jun suddenly became energetic and asked: "May I ask, doctor, if the whereabouts of the escaped prisoners have been found?"
The doctor was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously: "What if it's not found? What if it's found?"
Zhou Jun smiled, this question was considered as asking about his old profession.
When he was a community police officer in his previous life, Zhou Jun would accompany the neighborhood committee to practice catching thieves every once in a while. He was very familiar with how to deal with such situations.
Just listen to him say: "If it is not found, the city gate will be jammed and the streets will be blocked."
"The watchtower is the eye, the square drum is the trumpet, and the square is the circle. Check each one one by one."
"During the interrogation, four teams formed a team, and three teams formed a column. One team made noise across the street to attract the criminal's attention; one team entered the house to conduct a secret investigation without making any noise; and one team guarded the main road to prevent escape."
"There are also security guards who will check carefully along the waterside valley road to prevent any fugitives from hiding."
The doctor from the Ministry of Official Affairs listened with rapt attention and asked: "What if we have found out our whereabouts?"
Zhou Jun: "It depends on the situation."
"If the fugitive is hiding in a sparsely populated place, such as the southern city of Chang'an, he can mobilize heavy troops, encircle him in a circle, shrink it gradually, and finally capture him."
"If you are hiding in a busy street, you should stay still to avoid disturbing the enemy."
"The outer circle is heavily fortified, but everything remains the same in the inner circle. We are tracking incognito, looking for opportunities, and then take it down in one fell swoop."
The doctor from the Ministry of Official Affairs clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay. He is good at planning lessons, familiar with current affairs, and has practical talents. It is rare to find him."
Other officials also agreed.
The doctor from the Ministry of Official Affairs said to Zhou Jun: "Okay, let's go back and wait."
After hearing this, Zhou Jun sang "Oi" behind the curtain, and then followed the old official and left the room.
Walking into the corridor of the south courtyard, the old official saw that there was no one around him, so he smiled at Zhou Jun and said, "Erlang is a good man. I was worried at first, but now I feel like I have fallen to the ground."
Zhou Jun looked at the old official, somewhat surprised, and asked, "Do you know me?"
The old official said: "Pang Gong was already clearing up the situation, but he expected that the inspecting doctor, Xu Langzhong, suddenly had something to do in the court, so he was temporarily replaced by Chu Langzhong."
After hearing this, Zhou Jun suddenly realized that the examiner suddenly changed his name in the middle of the exam.
No wonder, in the current affairs exam, such super-outline questions are asked.
The old official smiled again and said: "Erlang will definitely pass the high school in this examination. Just wait for the good news."
Zhou Jun nodded, saluted the old official, and immediately felt at ease.
After leaving the examination room, Zhou Jun came to the door of Anshang, turned around, and took another look at the shape of Tai Chi Palace through the door hole.
