Neighboring school old enemy bows to me

Spring arrived in the blink of an eye, the guild halls and inns near the Guozijian were all crowded, and scholars from all over the country either gathered to discuss articles and knowledge, or visited relatives and friends to clear up relationships. Chunwei's gossip.

Xu Yiqing's promotion to the imperial examination was a major event that everyone in the Imperial College paid attention to, from the level of the Jijiu, down to the students.

On the first day of the imperial examination, He Zhiyang and others also woke up early, and went to the examination room with Xu Yiqing.

A spacious flower shed was set up in front of Dongzhi Gate, and four ranks of underachievers stood neatly in front of the shed to check the candidates, and there were Jinyiwei patrolling the examination room with their embroidered spring knives in their hands.

Candidates stood one by one with their arms outstretched, allowing others to grasp and pinch the test. The atmosphere was very solemn and tense for a while.

He Zhiyang and the others stood dozens of steps away, watching Xu Yiqing enter the examination room from afar.

Wearing a blue blue shirt, Xu Yiqing looked more and more like a bamboo, with a gentle temperament.

Several people looked at his back, suddenly a little dazed.

Obviously they are all familiar people, laughing and cursing together unscrupulously, but seeing Xu Yiqing enter the examination room, and may not be as good as the court in the future, they feel that the years are passing quietly, and when they meet again every few years, their lives may be different. will be different.

And the youthful and innocent classmates will gradually fade away.

A few people didn't want to go back to the school, and were standing outside the field chatting, and suddenly saw a person walking along the wall towards the flower shed, which looked very suspicious.

He Zhiyang looked over and frowned: "Who is this person?"

"Why is he here?" Li Ji looked at it for a moment, then asked in confusion: "Isn't this Wu De? His father, Wu Chungui, is an old man of the crown prince. He heard from my father that he was very much feared by His Majesty, and he even ordered him to return home. Now his son is still taking the imperial examination?"

Hearing this, several people couldn't help staring at the man for a while, and just about to look away, they saw Li Xiao strode forward, fiercely grabbed the man's forearm, and dragged him to a remote place.

He Zhiyang and the others looked at each other in confusion.

They all knew that in addition to the sergeant, there were Jin Yiwei who supervised the field this time. As the invigilator, why did Li Xiao have a secret conversation with this person before the exam?

However, Li Xiao pulled him back, and only said a few words lightly. Before He Zhiyang and others could see clearly, the examinee had already walked into the flower shed and followed the team.

He Zhiyang frowned slightly.

At this time, from a distance away, Qiao Yue could only be seen standing coldly and arrogantly by the door, wearing a scarlet gown with a collar and narrow sleeves, occasionally looking sideways, and telling Pang Ying beside him a few words.

After all, the invigilator was Qiao Yue. He looked glamorous, but he was walking on thin ice. If something happened, he might have to bear the responsibility.

His heart, which was still calm just now, suddenly went up and down.

Seeing Wu De appear, Qiao Yue sneered in his heart, and strode forward: "Are you also here for the scientific examination?"

Wu De and Li Xiao made a shady deal, and just as he was trembling with fear, Qiao Yue's voice rang in his ears like thunder, and he immediately stood there helpless, his eyes involuntarily wanting to look at Li Xiao.

Li Xiao cursed secretly, looked away coldly, and nunu chin motioned for the people below to follow.

"Master Qianhu." Li Xiao's confidant immediately greeted him with a smile and said, "How can you trouble Qianhu to do some small things by himself?"

As he said that, he winked at Wu De, and when the person came forward, he patted his shoulders to his calves one by one, turned his head and said with a smile: "This subordinate has checked, this person is clean."

Qiao Yue looked at him, licked the corners of his lips, and said with a half-smile, "Are you sure?"

The confidant was startled, bowed his head and smiled apologetically: "This is such a trivial matter, the subordinates can still check it out."

Qiao Yue didn't say any more, but waved his hand, signaling to put the person in.

Pang Ying stood aside, the corners of his lips moved slightly, and Qiao Yue secretly gave him a wink, motioning him to keep silent.

He naturally knows that this person is tricky, but arresting him now is just a case of cheating, if the Li family's play can't go on, what's the point?

Not only did he want this person to enter the examination room, but he also wanted him to enter under the eyes of Li's family.

When Li Xiao saw Wu De enter the arena smoothly, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

As soon as this person stepped into the examination room, the Qiao family took another big step away from being overthrown.

The examination room is arranged in order according to the thousand-character script. The two columns are four feet square and can only accommodate one person. Candidates will take the examination here for two days.

The examination room was silent, the wind was howling, and Jin Yiwei's boots stepped on the ground, making a frightening sound.

This is also the original intention of His Majesty in arranging Jinyiwei to invigilate the examination. The imperial court is very concerned about this examination that is related to the future selection of candidates for the national fortune. Let them invigilate the exam, no matter how bold the candidates are, they have to restrain themselves a bit.

Wu De looked at Jin Yiwei who was circling around in front of his eyes, his whole body was trembling and out of shape.

His family has a scholarly family, but in his generation, there is only one trash seed who studies.

The Wu family was hated by the emperor and was exiled back to his hometown, but his father did not give up and insisted on letting him go to Beijing to take the exam, so as to win the exam for the family.

Wu Dekao is blessed by the heavens, so how can he have the life of a Jinshi?

His father's order was hard to disobey, so he brought the only silver taels left in the family, and came to the capital with a sigh of relief, first chartered a flower boat, and played around with his old friends.

Unexpectedly, all the friends from the past have skyrocketed. After seeing him, they all sneered and ridiculed, and their faces became strange and extremely real.

Wu De didn't have any money left, and was so desperate that he didn't dare to go home. He was drinking in a tavern near the Guozijian in the capital, and while he was drinking, Li Xiao came to the door.

Li Xiao told him a very tempting exchange of benefits. He could know the exam questions in advance and bring relevant questions in. After entering the arena, he would be arrested for cheating, but as long as he firmly insisted that the questions were correct when he was interrogated. A person named Qiao Yue revealed it to him, and Li Xiao promised that he would get out safely, not only would he get a reward, but he might even get an official job.

Li Xiao has been on fire for the past few days, and Wu De knows that he is a celebrity around the emperor, so naturally he has no doubts about him.

Take a test, you can understand the topic, and you can bring in relevant materials to copy... Wu De thought that in this way, no matter how ordinary he is, he can still be awarded a Jinshi, slapping his father and those who couldn't see him clearly. That, friends, is more than enough.

Even if the Li family can't settle this matter, then he can at least get a sum of money, so that he won't be able to make up all the money to go home.

After deliberation, Wu De had no psychological burden, and agreed without hesitation for the dozens of taels of silver.

Unexpectedly, what he promised was not easy to handle. Outside were the wolf-like Jinyiwei, each of them was daunting, and the atmosphere in the examination room was extremely serious.

Wu De has never seen the big world, and has never cultivated the quality of being fearless in times of danger. A dandy who fights cocks and dogs every day, but now he is holding his breath like walking a tightrope, how can he not be nervous?

Jin Yiwei passing by gave him a sharp look: "What's the matter?"

"No..." Wu De hurriedly denied it, "It's windy in the capital, I... I'm a little afraid of the cold."

That Jin Yiwei frowned, looked at him one more time, told him to be more honest and walked over coldly.

Wu De exhaled, and began to quickly browse the test papers. There was really a theory, which coincided with the questions Li Xiao gave him before the test.

As the night deepened, Xu Yiqing swiped his pen and splashed ink, and answered the questions quickly. In the gap, he raised his eyes and saw Wu De who was opposite the test booth.

Xu Yiqing was always concentrating, he was not a person who looked around and couldn't bear his temper, but the candidates in the examination room opposite him looked terrified and sweated profusely, making people can't help but take a few more glances.

But this person was just trembling and didn't make any other movements.

In fact, Wu De agreed readily, but he was a trembling coward in his heart.

He came here for money, but now he was scared by Qiao Yue and others, how could he do things according to the previous instructions?

Cheating in such a serious examination room, thinking about it, feels that it is something that people who think their own lives will do, and Wu De can only hope that Chunwei will pass the exam without any danger and return home with peace of mind.

As for the ranking, he didn't expect too much, as long as the head on the neck was still safely around his neck, he would have passed the catastrophe.

Li Xiao couldn't help but look at Wu De frequently.

He put a lot of thought into this matter, not to make the emperor suspicious of Qiao Yue, after all, this is the old man of the prince, and he let him in without inspection...

In the eyes of the emperor, this must be an extremely delicate matter.

As for the exam questions, most of them were of course cheated, but this time, under Qiao Yue's order, he also participated in the exam.

Li Xiao memorized a question in a hurry, and in order to make enough for the show, he sneaked out before entering the arena, and gave the question to this mover without anyone knowing it.

But Li Xiao never expected that as soon as this person entered the gate of Chunwei, his hands and feet would visibly tremble with the naked eye, and he couldn't even stand firmly.

Fortunately, after checking that there were people arranged by him, they were finally let in.

It's okay for the servant to use a few of his own people. The invigilator this time is Qiao Yue. If someone fishes in troubled waters, the emperor will be most suspicious of him.

Now everything is ready, only Wu De cheated and was caught.

Li Xiao walked over with his sword, and gave him a cold look: "Don't forget to promise me."

Through the candlelight, Wu De felt as if he saw Yan Luo demanding his life, and immediately his whole body turned cold with fright.

The spring night in the capital was still cold, and his hands trembled involuntarily, and he couldn't even hold the brush.

He boarded a thief boat, no matter how many hidden reefs ahead, he could only bite the bullet and move on.

Wu De took a deep breath, finally took out the note that Li Xiao gave him from his sleeve, and began to study the topic.

Qiao Yue sat on the armchair of Huanghuali, drinking tea slowly on a spring night.

It was a gentle move, but his gestures brought out a murderous aura, like a bow ready to go.

"Qianhu!" Qiao Yue had just put down the tea bowl when someone came running over, yelling, "Someone cheated in the Tianzihao examination shed. I heard it was a man named Wu De! The general flag said that the matter was serious, and he had been imprisoned." Imprisoned!"

Qiao Yue sneered, the person who came to report to him was the one who searched Wu De just now.

He had known for a long time that this person was a close aide who followed Li Xiao to find Wu Juren and knew about Li's family plan.

Since Li Xiao is so well-intentioned, if nothing happens today, if he doesn't speak out to investigate, there will be ghosts on the contrary.
