What the government dislikes the most is students making trouble, because it will make it difficult for them to deal with it, and the people in the Ministry of Punishment are like this now.

Those students gathered at the door of their criminal department, saying that they were causing trouble, and they didn't do anything particularly excessive. They just blocked the door, making it embarrassing for the people in the criminal department to come in and out, and then told them what they thought was unfair. Passers-by kept implying that the Ministry of Punishment would not act.

It is precisely because these students did not do anything harmful to others, did not violate the laws of the Dayu Dynasty by committing crimes, it is impossible for them to let people from Jingzhao Fu Yin come and arrest the students.

What's more, what they're asking for happens to be the matter that the Ministry of Criminal Justice is investigating recently. It's a matter that everyone knows, but the higher-ups want them to find out in secret.

I don't know why the news that there was oil on the roof of the examination shed leaked out, and it was said that they found it after ten years of investigation, which made their Ministry of Punishment receive a lot of "comfort" from other ministries in the past two days.

Forget it outside the Ministry of Punishment, these students were so bold that they even ran outside the Gong Yuan, where there were heavy soldiers, and asked the Ministry of Punishment to give clear clues.

It's so funny, if there are real clues, how can the Ministry of Criminal Justice announce it to the public? It must be handed over to the people above to read it before deciding whether to make it public.

The people in the Ministry of Justice were very upset by these students, and they couldn't respond to them so they had to hide, no matter where they were, they pretended that the students didn't exist, and the people in the Ministry of Justice had to use the back door or the side door if they wanted to get in and out.

April [-]th is the day when the test results are released, and it was also on this day that everyone heard from somewhere that the Ministry of Criminal Affairs found oil on the roof of the examination shed in the Gongyuan.

On April [-]th, many students who failed the exam, especially the students who were affected and failed to answer that night, united together and started to make trouble.

Jingzhao Fu Yin, who is in charge of public security, and the criminal department, who is in charge of investigating the case, have not made a clear statement. It seems that they want it. After the students make trouble, they will calm down.

The students have been arguing for two days without seeing any results, and some people have begun to retreat under the persuasion of others.

At this time, an even more explosive news came out - a student surnamed Wang came out to expose that there was really someone cheating in the examination.

The student surnamed Wang said that he has been living next door to one of the students on the list. Although the two have lived next to each other for a long time, they have hardly spoken. If they accidentally bump into each other, the other party will immediately Sincere apologies.

The student surnamed Wang didn't have much interaction with his neighbor, but he had a good time drinking tea and chatting with his friends one night, and he went back late.

Unexpectedly, when passing by the door of the other party, the student surnamed Wang would listen to what his neighbor and another person were saying about whether he was satisfied with the ranking of the test results. The price he gave at the beginning was enough to buy more than fifty people, isn't it? Those under fifty caused him to be ridiculed by others after boasting.

This made the student surnamed Wang suspicious. He walked carefully to the door, pricked up his ears and listened carefully to what the people inside were saying.

It was terrible to hear this, the student who lived next door to the student surnamed Wang demanded a refund, otherwise he would have to tell the Ministry of Criminal Affairs everything he knew about cheating in the exam.

The other person sneered twice after hearing this and flatly refused. If he said it, no one would be able to please him. He wanted to see whether the other party's mouth was faster or the knife in his hand was faster.

The two of them stalemate for a while, and finally negotiated a result that made them both quite satisfied: the ranking in the palace examination.

Although the palace examination was conducted under the auspices of the emperor, the emperor would read out the questions on the day of the palace examination, but the emperor, who was always busy with his daily affairs, had no time to read the answer sheets of each student.

Therefore, the answer sheets of the palace examination must be read by the examiners first. There are a total of seven examiners, and five examiners must draw a circle to indicate yes before they can be sent to the emperor.

The emperor had to select the first and second grades from the answer sheets with five circles and above, and rank them, and the rest were all top three.

Therefore, if you want to get a good ranking, you need to have more examiners draw circles on the answer sheet. The circles are all based on the examiners' preferences. If all the examiners like it, there will naturally be more circles on the answer sheet.

Then this also means that the palace test actually has room for manipulation.

The student surnamed Wang listened to the two people next door to him discussing the ranking of the palace examination with great fanfare, how much the ranking would be and how much the price would be, his legs were so frightened that his legs were going weak.

He heard that the people inside seemed to have finished speaking, and when he hurried away, he accidentally bumped into the edge of the window, allowing the people in the room to see his back.

That night, an assassin dressed in black appeared in the inn, quietly trying to open the room of the student surnamed Wang.

If the student surnamed Wang hadn't taken precautions and was not asleep, he would be a cold corpse now.

There was a big fuss in the inn, and after almost everyone was quarreled, the student surnamed Wang escaped. The next morning, he ran to the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, one to inform and the other to ask for help.

Along the way, all the students surnamed Wang took the route with many people, so many people heard about this incident. The Governor of Jingzhao had no choice but to agree to the student surnamed Wang’s request to protect him, and then passed the matter to the public. report.

Immediately afterwards, the Ministry of Punishment, which had not expressed its position, finally made it clear that they would thoroughly investigate the case of the fire in the Gongyuan.

The atmosphere in the capital became serious from this day on. Those guards took a simulated portrait and walked around the streets asking if they had seen this person.

The entry and exit of the city has also become stricter, and unidentified people cannot be allowed to slip in and out.

The emperor also sent several old Hanlin from the Hanlin Academy to re-mark the answer sheets of this meeting.

Bai Zhiwen and the others listened to Zhang Anhao's words, and did not go outside at this time. The students who took the lead in making trouble at the beginning had already been taken to a small courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing by the people of Jingzhao Prefecture.

Although they were not caught in the prison, they experienced similar things in essence. They were brought in and interrogated separately—who they met, what they did, and every word they said during this period, all of them must be detailed. speak out.

The student who was reported was no exception, he was arrested before he could change the inn.

At that time, the student surnamed Wang heard that the student who was reported threatened another person to tell the matter, but after he was arrested, he firmly refused to admit that he had cheated in the imperial examination. Those words before were all made up and wanted to attract attention. force.

Scientific fraud is a felony. Not only will he get rid of his personal reputation, but he will also harm the entire family. Before he was reported, he just wanted to negotiate with that person and strive for a better ranking in the imperial examination. He never thought of revealing this matter. .

If you can't get an opening from him, those students who haven't cheated, but are just being used and inciting riots are much easier to find a breakthrough.

Bai Zhiwen and the others didn't go out, but because the incident was so big, they all heard about it at home.This made them more determined not to go out.

Li Mingjin and Bai Ting asked the servants of Wan's family to go out and buy a few bags of grain and vegetables that are easier to store and keep them at home, and even try to minimize the number of times they go out to buy vegetables.

Not going out, just saying that you can't go to those crowded markets, but it's okay to go to Wanjia, which is just a few doors away.

It was almost noon on April [-]th, and Bai Zhiwen and Li Mingde, who had been discussing the latest residence newspaper with Wan Rongtong all morning, left Wan's house and went back for lunch.

Unexpectedly, just as the servant of the Wan family closed the door of their Wan family, a man covered in blood suddenly rushed over from nowhere.

The man leaned against the wall and gasped for breath, his face was pale, and his lips had no trace of blood. He didn't seem to expect to meet these two people in such a remote alley. He frowned tightly and stared at the two people in front of him. Look, it seems to be discerning whether they can be trusted.

"Brother Yan?" Bai Zhiwen took a breath in surprise.

They knew the person in front of them. He was one of the students they met in the teahouse before the exam started. The young master Yan in front of him appeared relatively rarely, but every time he appeared to participate in the discussion, his words hit the nail on the head.

Before the exam started, they congratulated each other on their bright future, but they didn't expect that they didn't see Mr. Yan in the exam room after the exam started.

Because Mr. Yan said that he was not from the capital, he thought Mr. Yan had to leave temporarily because of something happened in his family, so Bai Zhiwen and the others felt it was a pity.

They thought that if a person like Mr. Yan took part in the general examination, he would definitely be on the list, and he might even get a first-class result in the imperial examination.

Never expected that after the trial, they would meet again in this way.

Because Bai Zhiwen called out his name as soon as they met, Mr. Yan's guarded expression decreased a lot. It can be seen that he is in a very bad state and is trying to hold on.

Combined with the recent major events in the capital, Bai Zhiwen has a bold guess - Mr. Yan may be being hunted down by those who don't want the secret to be exposed because he knows some inside information about cheating in the exam.

Because both sides were thinking about something, they fell into silence. In the end, Mr. Yan couldn't help but speak first: "I've been drugged."

Without thinking too much about the consequences, Bai Zhiwen and Li Mingde looked at each other and asked, "Do you need help?"

"Hide me." Mr. Yan's lips without a trace of blood became a little red because he bit them hard just now.

His sanity is becoming more and more unclear now, and he may collapse at any time. If he doesn't ask for help, those people will find him soon.

He has met these two students before, and through several exchanges with them, he knows that they are gentlemen. He can only take a gamble and put his life in the hands of the two of them. It might hurt them.

However, he has no other choice now, because after saying that request, Mr. Yan passed out.
