fake prince

Chapter 110
Supervisor Zhao walked slowly to Su Ziji.

When he first arrived, Superintendent Zhao noticed Su Ziji. He hadn't seen him for half a month, but he seemed to have changed a bit.

"The style is outstanding, and the viewer will never forget it."

This figure and temperament, said that he is a child from a poor family, but no one would believe it. No wonder Yin Xiujie was furious when he saw it, which is a pity.

With such a bearing, he compared all the princes' heirs. In his heart, Governor Zhao raised the possibility by three points first, so he walked up to Su Ziji, smiled and asked knowingly: "You are Su Ziji, why don't you?" Over the first case?"

As soon as the middle-aged eunuch came, Su Ziji knew it. This was the white-faced man he saw at Zheng Lixuan's place ten days ago, and he seemed to come to help him.

Because of the previous events, Su Ziji was not at a loss, but immediately realized that this might be the karma of the prince's blood again, so he bowed his hands and spoke unhurriedly: "The student is Su Ziji, and he deserves it. The head of the case."

"A list of talents."

Superintendent Zhao said this casually, walked over, went straight to the dormitory, picked up the papers on the wooden board, flipped through them, and said with a smile: "Generally, those who cheat are usually those who know they can't take the imperial examination. I'm very curious, why did the chief of the government case cheat? Could it be that the capital of your government case is fake?"

As he spoke, he looked at the questions with a lantern.

"Supervisor Zhao, isn't this appropriate?" Yin Xiujie frowned.

Even if he realizes that he is too sloppy, it doesn't mean that he can watch a eunuch with the papers of the provincial examination candidates.

What is this?
Inspector Zhao glanced at him, his calm and composed appearance immediately made Yin Xiujie choke back his words.

Thinking about the advice given by the cabinet ministers when he came here, and thinking about the emperor's temper, he would not allow the eunuchs to exercise power. Since Superintendent Zhao dared to do such a thing, he might have the confidence, and what confidence can be given by the emperor? Confident enough?

Sure enough, the next moment, Superintendent Zhao said: "Master Yin, don't worry. Before our family came, the emperor gave me special permission to supervise Qiu Wei. Our family can still manage what happened now."

Superintendent Zhao said all this, and Yin Xiujie knew that he had the token, so naturally he couldn't say anything more, he could only keep a sullen face and remained silent.

Even Yin Xiujie didn't say a word, and a smooth person like Gu Wenfu, the deputy chief examiner, naturally fell silent.

Only the prefect Liao Qingge and Bai Hongzhi clenched their fists, ready to explode, but no matter how upright they were, they were no longer young, and besides, they were only prefects (deputy examiners), and if things were not clear, they would be suspected of being domineering and criminals.

The sound of paper rubbing was clear in the silent atmosphere.

Candidates in the dormitory on the opposite side looked at it with their heads, but the candidates next to them didn't dare to say anything, so they could only listen hard.

"Go, bring all Su Ziji's papers over, and show them to our family and all the adults." Who knows, reading one paper is not enough, Supervisor Zhao ordered again.

Before anyone objected, the two people in Tsing Yi walked away, handing out a stack of papers.

Inspector Zhao really didn't regard himself as an outsider, he watched it first in front of everyone, and then sent it to the adults present to watch in turn, with a slightly shrill voice, with a bit of sarcasm: "My lords, you have all gone through the examination room for a long time. From the county examination, the government examination, the provincial examination, the general examination, and the palace examination all the way."

"I am very familiar with the article, so I have to read it carefully. This article still needs to cheat in Qiu Wei?"

What is written on the physical evidence is just some knowledge points, and these are at most helpful to the Moyi questions in the county test, and have no meaning to the scriptures.

"Who thinks that such an article can be written by relying on the sentences in these copied books, our family will bring all the four books and five classics over, let him read it, and ask him to write an article for our family on the spot!"

As soon as this remark came out, it was obviously a cover-up. Tan Youshan couldn't intervene at first, but at this moment he wanted to kill him, but before he had time, the eunuch's words angered Liao Qingge.

Although the magistrate cannot interfere with Qiu Wei, it is related to fraud. The magistrate is not completely able to get rid of the relationship. More importantly, the person who reported the fraud was brought by himself. Said in a loud voice: "This is ridiculous, so what if the article is good?"

"This note is entrainment, even if only one word is written, it is still entrainment."

"Although it may not be buried by this candidate, but there is no evidence that it was not buried by him, so it should be charged with fraud."

Since Su Ziji couldn't prove his innocence, he should be dealt with as guilty. This is doubtful. Although there is no such word in this era, the judicial principle is like this. Liao Qingge said this with confidence.

Finally, Bai Hongzhi couldn't bear it any longer, bowed and said, "Master Liao is talking about why no one else has a note, but Su Ziji has one?"

"The house is obtained by a temporary lottery. Could it be that the slanderer knows that his house will not be awarded?"

"Even if we knew, we watched all the movements for three days, and the inspectors didn't enter the dormitory. How could we bury the paper in the ground to frame him?"

"It should be seen by the lower officials that not only should they lose their fame, but they should also be severely punished to show emulation."

Tan Youshan was overjoyed when he heard this, and looked around, both of them were upright officials, it was only this kind of upright officials that could drive Su Ziji to death and avenge his son.

Yin Xiujie didn't make a sound, and looked carefully at the examination paper with the lantern he brought.

You don’t even need to read it, just read a few lines, and you will know that there may be something strange, not to mention the literary talent of the words and sentences, but the calligraphy, without hard work, you will definitely not be able to write such characters!
Even if he can practice hard to write such characters, can he still be lazy and can't even memorize the simple Four Books and Five Classics?
As Superintendent Zhao said, the content on the note is just copied from the Four Books and Five Classics, and the handwriting is also very ordinary, which is a far cry from Su Ziji's good handwriting.

Could it be that Su Ziji cheated, but also revealed the secret, and let outsiders make a cheat sheet for him?

"Hmph, one whip, one mark, one slap, one blood." Superintendent Zhao was not afraid, and sneered: "You'll read the article before it's too late!"

"I'll argue with you after I read the article." Liao Qingge and Bai Hongzhi were furious, and they had already thought about it, as long as they found the mistakes and made a good fortune, they would also sweep this disrespectful student into the dust.

Just reading the article by the lantern, for a moment, not only Yin Xiujie, but even the prefect Liao Qingge and deputy examinee Bai Hongzhi were silent.

In all fairness, if you are in the imperial examination, you can still be demoted. In the provincial examination, no matter how harsh the examiner is, you can't be said to fail.

Gu Wenfu, the deputy chief examiner, raised his head and said: "This son's essay may not necessarily explain the origin, there is always a list."

One list is the top three.

"Haha, Mr. Gu seems to be very knowledgeable about literary talents. You should have no objection to Su Ziji's talents, right?" Supervisor Zhao listened, his eyebrows beaming with joy, and he laughed sharply.

"You can't just say that Su Ziji's talents are bad, but even so, if you don't get rid of the suspicion for a day, you won't be able to win the exam." Liao Qingge heard this, and couldn't understand the eunuch's arrogance, so he said darkly: "Revolution Let’s let it go without changing your reputation, but it is your duty to investigate this case clearly.”

"It will be delayed." Gu Wenfu said regretfully.

"Even if it's delayed, it's his fate." Bai Hongzhi added, "Besides, this son is only fifteen this year, so he's too young. It's not a bad thing to suppress him."
