But the most shocked person was Wang Xian. He originally thought that Ji Gang was going to make a fuss about the search, so he had to conduct a strict search no matter what to prevent Ji Gang from having anything to catch. Ordinarily, he had to insist on a strict search.
Next, Ji Gang should have known that he had no chance to take advantage of him. It would definitely be a good result to expel himself from the examination room at this time and then take a serious exam afterwards.
But Jigang suddenly turned the gun and saved himself. I really don't know what kind of medicine this guy is selling in his gourd? Anyway, it is certain that he will never be good for himself, so he is not satisfied with expelling himself from Gongyuan, there is a higher goal
Pursuit? Do you still want to beat yourself to death with a stick? If there is a chance, he believes that Governor Ji will definitely be willing to do so.
Wang Xian's thoughts were wandering there, and Chief Liang had already walked down the slope and snorted: "Since Mr. Ji has spoken, I have to give you some face..."
"Why don't you quickly thank the examiner?" Ji Gang glared at Wang Xiandao.
"Thank you, examiner." For the first time, Wang Xian felt that his brain was not strong enough, but he knew that he should continue the inspection this time, and there was no need to compromise. He had no choice but to give it up and thank him perfunctorily: "Thank you, Mr. Director.
"Alas, there are still stubborn people like you." Liang Qian looked at Wang Xian coldly, rolled his sleeves and said, "I will report the truth to the emperor afterwards."
"I will do as you wish." Wang Xian regained his calm expression.
Although Wang Xian still insisted on a full-body search in the end, in order to save the face of the examiner, the search request was still taken a step back and allowed the examiner to change his clothes... which meant that they were given another chance to destroy the evidence.
Chance.
When the candidates met the examiner, the examiner agreed to search their bodies, and they no longer chanted any curses. Unless they wanted to stop taking the exam, they could only take off their clothes and accept the examination. But if they stopped taking the exam, things would get really big.
In the end, the law will definitely not be punished, but it is inevitable to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. Otherwise, the candidates will stop taking the exam if they encounter some discomfort, and the court will definitely not allow this trend to spread.
No one wanted to be the monkey that was slaughtered, and besides, it was not naked in public, but undressing in the council chamber. There was always a cover, and the embarrassment was over in a short time, so in the end there was no quarrel. We watched again.
It was getting late, so I had to suppress my anger for the time being and go to the Gongyuan first. Of course, the matter couldn't be settled like this. They would definitely make a big fuss after the examination, so that the prosecutor named Wang would not be able to walk away without food.
Don't give up
The search was finally carried out according to Wang Xian's wishes. All the suspects were brought into the parliament hall and stripped naked for inspection. The officers and soldiers responsible for the search had lost a lot of opportunities to make money because of two extrajudicial favors.
If they didn't keep their eyes open, they would have completely lost the possibility of making a fortune. Therefore, their searches were extremely meticulous, even exceeding the rules and requirements set by Wang Xian. Not to mention, they would still find a few people who were involved in cheating from time to time.
Juzi. As the saying goes, Wang Xian has given them two chances twice, but they are still stubborn. Naturally, they will not be accommodating. They directly leave Gongyuan and end the problem.
Seeing that the inspection was finally on track, all the officials, even if they were unwilling to do so, had no choice but to enter the parliament hall one by one to undress and take off their belts. Wang Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief, but his mind was soon occupied by that worry... Ji Gangfei
If you want to leave yourself in the Gongyuan, why should you stay in the search and inspection area? If this question is not answered, the time when the alarm is lifted will be far away.
Unknowingly, it was lunch time, and the inspection was suspended. The examinees took out tea, snacks, dried meat and other food from the examination boxes to satisfy their hunger. Naturally, the officials and soldiers of Gongyuan had kitchens to deliver meals, and high-ranking officials like Wang Xian
Of course, he could go to the Zhigong Hall to have a banquet, but he did not join in the fun. Instead, he ate the same meal as the soldiers in Longmen...
Wang Xian was sitting on the steps, meditating, when he saw a steaming bowl of sea food being brought to him.
While Wang Xian reached out to pick it up, he looked up and found that it was his deputy Xiong Gai. He couldn't help but said with some surprise: "Yuanjie didn't go to Zhigongtang for dinner?"
"The prosecutor is here to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, and I, the deputy, have no choice but to accompany you." Xiong Gai said with a bitter smile.
"I don't want to share the joys and sorrows with them, I'm just thinking about something," Wang Xian said with a frank smile: "You don't need to accompany them."
"Stewed meat with radish, vermicelli, and white rice is enough. This meal is actually very good." Xiong Gai smiled with some emotion: "Actually, Xiaguan was born in a poor family. Before he passed the imperial examination, he could not eat meat twice a year, and his clothes were in patches.
Patch. At that time, I just thought that I could win the lottery and eat meat every day."
Wang Xian knew that what he said was true. Studying was a costly business, and it was true that only one scholar could be born in three generations. Many families who were originally well-off often became extremely poor because they had been studying for more than ten years.
"So I am very grateful to the Imperial Examination," Xiong Yushi said emotionally: "Without the Imperial Examination, a poor boy like me would not be where I am today." As he said this, he looked at Wang Xiandao: "But as the Lord said, these
Over the past few years, the imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty have been controlled by the powerful and evil. If it is not rectified, I am afraid that a scholar like me who comes from a poor background will never be able to get ahead." After a pause, he said with a heartfelt voice:
"So I support my Lord's actions today from the bottom of my heart." He is considered a member of the Jiangxi Gang. It is extremely difficult for him to say such a thing under the premise that the examiner is in conflict with Wang Xian.
.
Wang Xian glanced at Xiong Gai in surprise. He didn't expect that he was actually his supporter. He smiled self-deprecatingly and said: "It's a knife for me to extend my head, and it's a knife for me to shrink my head. I'll just stay single and serve the world as an honest scholar."
Do something good."
"Why do you say this, sir?" Xiong Gai asked strangely: "Why does it sound like someone wants to harm you?"
"Haha, I just said it casually..." Wang Xian shook his head and changed the subject: "What was the result of the inspection this morning?"
"We searched 1,500 people in the morning and found 110 people who were involved." Xiong Gai said with a bitter smile: "This is the result of your Lord forgiving them twice. It shows how violent the wind has become.
To the point of being sensational." He then gave a detailed report: "The entanglement of these candidates is very covert. Some of them are hidden in clothes, some are hidden in examination supplies, and some are hidden in underwear. The hidden words are also shocking.
People are astonished. There are paper balls micro-written on thin paper, and there are chapters and sentences in pocket books. They are all written on small paper. They are well-copied and are valuable. There are also those written on silk underwear, all written with rice grains.
Written in small regular script the size of a piece of underwear, there are tens of thousands of words on one piece of underwear..."
Wang Xian was also amazed by what he heard. Since he couldn't think of a clue, he asked Xiong Gai to bring over the cheating gadgets and open his eyes. Xiong Gai had someone bring a wooden box over and open it for Wang Xian to see.
Wang Xian took a look and found that the box was really full of things. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have imagined how much effort and wisdom the Chinese people put into cheating. He picked up everything and looked at it, and was amazed at first.
I looked at those pocket books, and then looked at those cheating waistcoats, writing pants, etc., and found that from the perspective of later generations, the pocket books were reference books for exams, and those paper balls, and the words on the cheating waistcoats were some articles.
...Wang Xian knew that the candidates were betting on this year's test questions. They should have a famous teacher to guide them and help them guess this year's test questions, and then ask experts to write essays on the more likely questions and copy them on paper balls or waistcoats. As long as they can
If you guess the question correctly, you have a great chance of being chosen.
Because the search had to be completed before dark, the lunch time was very short. While Wang Xian was still holding his rice bowl and looking at the evidence, the whistle to continue the search was blown. The search office, which had been relatively quiet, was once again noisy.
After getting up, Wang Xian also put the evidence back into the box, sat on the Taishi chair and watched the people who started to search. When the officers and soldiers responsible for the search saw that Wang Xian was very interested in the evidence they found, they naturally seemed to please him.
He sent all the evidence found in the afternoon to Wang Xian.
Seeing the boxes in front of him piling up more and more, Wang Xian felt a bit dumbfounded. He couldn't bear to brush off the good intentions of his subordinates, so he casually picked up a pair of underwear that he had just found. His expression froze. It wasn't that the smell of the underwear was too strong and he didn't dare.
He smelled it, but the three articles above seemed familiar to him... as if he had seen them somewhere?
Where is it? Wang Xian calmly opened the box that Xiong Gai brought before, searched inside for a while, and pulled out a paper ball. After slowly unfolding it, he took a look and couldn't help but gasp... His memory
Sure enough, there was no problem. The titles of these three articles were exactly the same as those of the other three articles, but the words were slightly different.
Wang Xian's brows became tighter and tighter. He quickly put away his mind and checked the words he found one by one. He found twenty cheat sheets with the same title... Although the articles were different, the three questions had the same title.
Not bad. But this doesn't mean anything. At most, it means that these candidates guessed the questions from an expert, and the expert was very sure and gave them three questions, not even one more. But Wang Xian felt vague
It feels bad, as if there is some big trouble hiding inside.
Feeling restless, he went back to the pile of cheat sheets discarded by candidates. Seeing his unusual behavior, Xiong Gai couldn't help but come over and ask, "What are you looking for, sir?"
"I'll just look through it..." Wang Xianzhuang smiled nonchalantly, and then lowered his voice and said, "Help me find cheat sheets with the same topic." After saying that, he handed Xiong Gai a cheat sheet he found. Xiong Gai scanned it.
After one glance, his expression changed and he said: "What, what happened?"
"It's hard to say, let's find what we are looking for first." Wang Xian ordered and continued to search. Xiong Gai also remained silent and began to help him search among a lot of cheat sheets. When Tian was almost dark,
They were horrified to discover that there were more than fifty cheat sheets with three identical questions.
