Sending Ah Da and Li to replace Tao Zong was only the first step in Xie Si's plan. He also sent Ah Er to meet someone.

That person is one of the most trusted confidantes of His Majesty Qin Zheng today.

In just three years, he has risen from a poor scholar selling calligraphy on the streets of the capital to the position of Fengchang among the Jiuqing.

He is also one of the two chief examiners of this scientific examination.

Xie Si promised that as long as Feng Chang told him the exam questions this time, he would marry the daughter of the nobleman of Guanlong to him.

In this world, there are not many things that cannot be bought with money and power.

In the end, Feng Chang said that the exam question this time was "The World".

After confirming the secret letter brought back by Ah Da, Xie Si made the next decision.

"The present His Majesty is really hiding something."

For a moment, Xie Si felt that he was really old.

"Second!"

Sheth regained his spirits.

"When Feng Chang came out of the examination institute..."

Sheth cut his palm across his neck.

Ah Er took the order and left.

Now that this battle has been defeated, what we can do now is to try our best to minimize losses.

……

Inside the palace.

Compared to the desolation in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the atmosphere in the Imperial Study Room is much happier.

The two of them knew that Ye Nan must have done the changed test questions.

"Brother Nan is so handy!"

Qin Zheng exclaimed.

"Brother Nan tricked you and me into it."

Qin Banruo said.

"If I didn't deceive you and me, how could I deceive the old fox Xie Si?"

Qin Zheng had no objection to Ye Nan's move.

……

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

When many candidates filed out of the examination hall, they all felt a sense of trance, as if they had passed away.

During these three days, their respective fortunes have changed.

Those scholars with real talents are high-spirited and waiting for their grand plans.

Those mediocre people feel like they are mourning their concubines, and at the same time, there is a surge of anger in their chests.

"I'm going to kill those guys who sell fake exam questions."

Candidates who bought exam questions ran away in a rage.

Those Guanlong disciples still had calm expressions on their faces.

They didn't have a higher starting point than others, but they were born directly at the end.

All examinees' examination papers were sealed and sent to the palace for review.

After three days of sleepless nights, Feng Chang dragged his exhausted body back to his home.

This is a dilapidated courtyard located in the northeast corner of the capital.

No one could have imagined that one of Daqin's nine ministers lived here.

"Mom, I'm back!"

Feng Chang pushed open the courtyard door, but saw his mother lying in a pool of blood.

"mother!"

Feng Chang pounced on him, but the person in his arms was already out of breath.

"People from the nobles of Guanlong..."

Seeing Ah Er walking out of the darkness, Feng Chang showed a helpless wry smile.

"Your Majesty, Feng Chang has failed your kindness."

Feng Chang looked at Ah Er who was getting closer and closer, without the slightest fear, only unwillingness.

He studied hard in the cold window, thinking that he could rewrite his own destiny with his own talent.

But when he discovered the existence of the Guanlong nobles, he realized how naive his thoughts were.

Some people's fate is doomed from the moment they are born.

No matter how unwilling you are, how much you struggle, at most it will only add a few scars.

Why?
This is a question that Feng Chang has never been able to figure out.

At the moment of death, Feng Chang found that he had unknowingly changed into the appearance he once hated.

The boy who slayed the dragon has come to this day, and he can neither be the boy he once was, nor can he become a dragon.

Not all stories have a happy ending.

Feng Chang felt that the enemy's blade had reached his neck.

It was as if he could hear the sound of his own blood splattering the next moment.

"Hey, you won't fall asleep, will you?"

Feng Chang opened his eyes and saw a handsome face.

He had seen this person in the examination room of the examination institute before, and vaguely remembered that his name was Nan Ye.

When Feng Chang looked at the killer again, he had already fallen to the ground, lifeless.

"I think you should have a lot to say to Qin Zheng."

Yenan Road.

Then, in Fengchang's shock, Ye Nan appeared in Qin Zheng's palace with him in his arms.

"Brother Nan, you are..."

Looking at Ye Nan who looked like he was carrying a chicken, Qin Zheng looked puzzled.

"You can ask him!"

Ye Nan threw Fengchang in front of Qin Zheng like a trash, and then sat down beside him.

"Your Majesty, Feng Chang is guilty!"

Feng Chang explained how he was bought and sold by the nobles of Guanlong to sell the examination questions.

Following Feng Chang's narration, Qin Zheng's body trembled slightly.

"you……"

It's not a good feeling to be betrayed by someone you trust the most.

Qin Zheng tried his best to restrain himself, he was afraid that if he couldn't help it, he would kill Fengchang with a slap.

"I'm really scared of poverty!"

"Those who gave me gold and silver, I built them in the wall, and spent nothing."

Fengchang cried with snot and tears.

"Ugh……"

In the end, all Qin Zheng's anger turned into a sigh.

"Brother Nan, what should we do next?"

Qin Zheng looked at Ye Nan.

"Now that Fengchang is present, it is impossible for the nobles of Guanlong to stay out of the matter."

Yenan Road.

"I think Xie Si is very likely to abandon his pawns to protect the car, and it will be difficult to really shake the foundation of the Guanlong nobles."

With Ye Nan waving his hand, Feng Chang fell into a coma.

There are some things that the sinner, Feng Chang, obviously cannot know.

"Our goal is the three great families, and it would be good to beat the Guanlong nobles before cleaning up the three great families."

Yenan Road.

"I think after this incident, the nobles of Guanlong should be honest for a while."

Qin Zheng deeply agrees with Ye Nan's idea.

The Prime Minister's Mansion.

Xie waited for a long time, but after Ah Er came back, he already guessed that things were going in a bad direction.

No matter whether Ah Da stole the secret letter or Ah Er contacted Feng Chang before, they did not leave any clues about themselves.

Xie Si wasn't worried about himself, but the nobles of Guanlong had already been involved in this matter.

It is already impossible to completely extract the Guanlong nobles from this matter.

Now, only one person can be used as a scapegoat, so that the nobles of Guanlong can get away with this matter.

After making a decision, Xie Si began to act.

While Xie Si was working on the remedy, Ye Nan had already taken the civil and military examinations.

On the day when the list was released, the first place on the double list was the same name "Nan Ye"!
For a time, the name of Nan Ye caused a sensation in the imperial capital.

Daqin has implemented the imperial examination system for hundreds of years, and there have also appeared many romantic figures with both civil and military skills.

But the most outstanding among them is the top scorer in the liberal arts and the top scorer in the martial arts.

There is really no one like Nan Ye who has won the top spot in both rankings.

Although the Guanlong nobles have dominated the imperial examinations in recent years, the gold content of their scientific examinations has been greatly inferior to that of ancient times.
