On the second night, Hu Yongpei boldly opened the square hole on the door of Lin Jue's dormitory and wanted to wake Lin Jue up. However, he was almost discovered by other deputy inspectors who were passing by. Fortunately, he had the quick wit to intervene.
Although he is the chief examiner, once he is discovered to have cheated, the deputy examiner will also be jointly and severally guilty. Therefore, the relationship between the chief examiner and deputy examiner is actually a mutual supervision and prevention relationship. Once they are suspected, they will never ignore it.
After experiencing this fright, Hu Yongpei decided not to take the risk. But he had to do something, so on the last night, he secretly threw a paper ball into the snoring dormitory. On the paper ball was
He wrote three words "Pi Xiu Zai". This "Pi Xiu Zai" comes from "Shang Shu" and is a curse. Hu Yongpei hoped that the candidate named Lin Jue could understand his painstaking efforts. If he saw this note,
And if you understand what you mean and can write the three words "Pi Xiuzai" on the examination paper, then when you mark the examination paper, you will know that this is Lin Jue's answer sheet, and you can overcome all objections and admit Lin Jue.
.As the examiner, he has the final say. It depends on whether he is willing to do so.
However, what made Hu Yongpei so angry that he vomited blood was that after the Qiuwei exam ended, he immediately came to No. 138 Ding No. 138 and found the paper ball he had thrown away in the corner. That paper ball
It had not even been opened, and the position was in the same direction as where he threw it. He was sure that the candidate named Lin Jue had not seen the note. Not only had the paper ball not been opened, but its position had not moved either. What made him even more worried was that the note had not been opened.
What is certain is that if Lin Jue saw this note and understood its meaning, he would definitely destroy the note and would not leave the paper ball in the dormitory. Because after the exam, the examiner will have to
The dormitory will be cleaned and inspected. If any abnormalities are found, the candidate will be immediately determined to have cheated.
Hu Yongpei was also worried about this, so he rushed to the dormitory to check as soon as possible because he was worried that such a situation would happen. Now that the note has been taken back by himself, I am afraid that the matter has not been completed. The examination paper is
Those whose names are unknown will have to go through the transcription process, and the final examination papers that will be judged in their own hands will be the examination papers transcribed by Yishui Guange Style, and they will not be able to tell the identity of the candidates.
So the question is, under such circumstances, how can we fulfill Wu Chunlai's instructions and admit Lin Jue?
During these twenty days, Hu Yongpei was the busiest person. He personally reviewed tens of thousands of answer sheets, far exceeding the number reviewed by the other deputy examiners. All the deputy examiners were in awe of him.
The examiner is very meticulous and has set an example for everyone. He is worthy of being an important member of the etiquette department, and his efficiency and attitude are indeed superior to others.
However, little did they know that Hu Yongpei was even more perverted than they thought. He had read almost all of the more than 30,000 answer sheets. When others were sleeping and resting, he still held the light and marked the papers by himself, tirelessly. But what he did was not a big deal.
Dedicated and responsible, he is just trying his best to hold on to a glimmer of hope. I hope the candidate named Lin Jue saw the note; I hope he understands what he means, and I hope he sees 'Pi Xiu Zai' on the answer sheet.
'These three words. He refused to let go of any answer sheet because he was afraid of missing the answer sheet with these three words written on it.
However, he was still disappointed in the end. None of the answer sheets had the three-word code, which showed that Lin Jue did not read the note and did not understand his painstaking efforts at all.
At this point, Hu Yongpei has no choice. Although he is worried about this matter and doesn't know how to explain it to Wu Chunlai afterwards. But the matter in front of him still needs to be completed honestly. Wu Chunlai's entrustment will not be lost if he does not complete it.
However, if he failed to fulfill his duties as the examiner, the imperial court would kill him. So he had to cheer up and lead several deputy examiners to do the final screening.
On top of the long form, one answer sheet after another was passed in the hands of several chief and deputy examiners. The final round of screening was very difficult. The remaining two thousand examination papers were already the best among the more than 30,000 candidates. Their level was
The higher one is also very close. Screening out 430 people means that another 1,600 people have to be eliminated. This is a difficult job. The five chief and deputy examiners had to use voting methods to obtain one examination paper.
If three of the five people agree, they can advance to the next round. If there are no more than three people, all will be eliminated.
From morning to night, from day to night, several examiners were so tired that they were dizzy and thirsty. Because although they were voting, facing the same examination paper, they would inevitably have different opinions and disputes. This person believed that his poems and articles
No, but in the eyes of another person, every word is precious, so you have to argue with reason, so the selection process is equally difficult.
Three days passed in this kind of debate and boring screening. Two thousand people turned into a thousand people, a thousand people turned into 500 people, and the 500 people finally eliminated dozens more after a fierce argument.
Finally, at the second watch of the third day, the answer sheets of the remaining 430 lucky people were finally divided into three stacks and placed in front of the five examiners with bloodshot eyes and haggard faces.
Hu Yongpei was splayed on the chair, his thin face full of exhaustion. He was the hardest working among the examiners. He had not read any of the more than 30,000 examination papers. The fatigue of his body and the fatigue of his heart almost overwhelmed him.
Devastated.
"My lords, this year's Liangzhe Road Examination is finally coming to an end. I have never experienced such a difficult Autumn Examination. I am really exhausted from all the hard work. However, for the sake of the imperial court and the Holy Emperor, I have to select scholars, and for my great Zhou Guozuo."
In order to select more talents for the imperial court, no matter how hard we work, it is worth it." Hu Yongpei said hoarsely.
"Yes, yes, it is finally over. Master Hu has worked hard, and all of you have also worked hard. I hope that the more than 400 tribute students from the two Zhejiang Roads we have selected can achieve something in the Spring Examination next year, and can contribute to
The contribution of talents to the imperial court is not in vain for us old bones to suffer here every day and night for a month."
"Hahaha, that's right. If there are a few more first- and second-class Jinshis next spring, our hard work will not be in vain. Our faces will also be bright."
Several deputy examiners stroked their beards and nodded.
Hu Yongpei nodded and said: "After a hundred miles and a half, the red list will be posted tomorrow. We have to work harder tonight to discuss the top ten tribute students and name the two Zhejiang Road undergraduates. The list will be announced tomorrow.
.”
"It should be so. This is the last step. We have to work harder." The deputy examiners nodded repeatedly.
Hu Yongpei smiled and said: "Everyone should understand that the selection of the top ten cannot be ignored, because it is related to the face of Liangzhe Road and the vision and standards of you and me as the examiners. The top ten on the red list represent the undergraduates of Liangzhe Road
The top level of more than 30,000 candidates must pass next year's spring exam. If someone among the top ten fails next year, won't the world laugh at the level of the candidates from Zhejiang and Zhejiang Road and the knowledge and vision of you and me, the examiners? So
This must be treated with caution. Especially those who are decapitating their heads, they must be even more cautious. Otherwise, if we fail to pass the exam in the spring of next year, wouldn’t it make the world laugh out loud?
"
The four deputy examiners nodded repeatedly and agreed. This is no joke. This matter is related to both face and dignity. If the top ten candidates among the thirty thousand candidates cannot pass next spring, it will be really ridiculous.
It's secondary to being ridiculed for the poor standards of the candidates in the Liangzhe Road or the lack of talent of the examiner. If he is suspected of cheating in the examination and leads to an investigation by the court, it will be a big trouble. Although everyone asks themselves
There was no fraud, but as long as the court investigated, even if nothing was found, the reputations of several people would be ruined.
"Without further ado, you all know the importance, let's start now. Each of the five of us picks three people that he thinks can be ranked in the top ten, so there are fifteen people. Then everyone gathers
Discuss and eliminate five people to get to the top ten. Then select the best one among them to be the first. What do you think?" Hu Yongpei said.
"Okay, okay, this method is very fair." Several deputy examiners said in unison.
The next moment, the five people began to find the answer sheets that they felt were very good during the marking process. Each person had three, and the fifteen answer sheets were quickly gathered together. Not surprisingly, these answer sheets were all from three piles on the desk.
The third pile of answer sheets. There were more than thirty answer sheets that had been unanimously approved in the previous voting, and they were the best among the candidates. After an hour of discussion, the top ten answer sheets were officially determined.
Next is the most important selection of Jie Shou. The first among these ten people is Jie Shou. This is also the leader of this Liangzhe Road Autumn Examination. Therefore, the examiners are more cautious.
After Zhang's answer sheets were reviewed again, everyone's opinions finally focused on two of the test papers.
