After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

The imperial examination held every three years in Dacheng began under the attention of the public.

The examination lasts for three days. In addition to classics, law, literature, and mathematics, there will also be a section of questions discussing current affairs.

Zhang Huaiyun sat in the examination room, looking at the familiar questions in his hand, with a cold look between his brows.

Sure enough, it was exactly the same as the topic that day.

In this case, he could no longer use the same approach as he did that day.

Closing his eyes, Zhang Huaiyun’s mind was filled with thoughts.

When I opened my eyes again, everything was clear.

Picking up the brush, he quickly answered...

Three days passed by in a flash.

As the bell rang, the imperial examination finally came to an end.

The next step is to wait for the results to be announced to see if you can take part in the final palace examination.

The students packed up their things and left the examination room one after another.

Soon, the examination room was empty.

An invigilator was about to leave when he noticed a student standing outside the door with no one else around.

"Student, why don't you leave yet?" asked the invigilator.

Zhang Huaiyun took a step forward, his face serious.

"Sir, I have something important to report."

......

For students, these three days of examinations are not only a test of their mental strength, but also a multiple test of their physical and mental strength.

How high-spirited you are when you come, how depressed you are when you leave.

He Xiangyuan walked out listlessly.

"Young Master!" Dekun saw him and hurried forward.

"How's that guy?" He Xiangyuan asked lazily. He was still thinking about the student who was locked up.

"Don't worry, young master. The person is being kept in custody." Dekun said.

The three people would come to report to him every day, saying that they had given Zhang Huaiyun medicine and he had been sleeping.

"it is good."

He Xiangyuan shook his head.

This time he wrote down the answers given by the student word for word. He just didn't believe that with answers of this level, he would not be able to get a good grade in the exam?

Thinking of this, he became energetic again.

"Let's go! Go drink!"

At the same time, in the Student Inn in the east of the city.

Ye Mingduo is packing his luggage.

He was a little discouraged. The questions in this scientific examination had changed significantly compared to previous years. He felt that his answers were not good and he probably wouldn't make the list. He decided to pack up and go back to do business with his father.

Suddenly, a piece of paper fell out from among his pile of clothes.

Just as he was about to reach out to pick it up, Liu Jinfeng, who lived in the same room with him, picked it up before him.

Liu Jinfeng opened it and exclaimed, "Oh my God, Brother Ye, how come you have the questions for this scientific examination?"

Ye Mingduo paused, a little surprised, "Impossible, how can I have the questions for the scientific examination..."

As he spoke, he took the paper from Liu Jinfeng.

From beginning to end, Ye Mingduo's face became paler and paler.

"Impossible! This is not mine!" Ye Mingduo threw the paper away, his face full of shock.

Liu Jinfeng picked up the paper, frowned and said, "Brother Ye, I saw with my own eyes that this piece of paper fell from your clothes, how could it not be yours?"

As he spoke, Liu Jinfeng quietly moved to the door and shouted, "Brother Ye, where did you steal the questions from? If we are found out, it will be a capital crime!"

The door of the room was open. Liu Jinfeng had a loud voice, and when he shouted, almost everyone in the corridor heard it.

When the students who were nearby heard the noise, they all ran towards their room.

"Brother Liu, what are you talking about? What do you mean by stealing questions?"

"Are you telling the truth? How dare someone steal the questions?"

"Brother Liu, please don't lie..."

Liu Jinfeng looked at more and more students pouring into the room with satisfaction, and raised his hand to hold the paper in front of everyone.

"Look for yourselves. We just finished the exam. Check to see if this is the question for this year's exam?!"

The people standing in the front took the paper and read it carefully.

The more he looked, the more shocked he became.

“It’s really a test question!”

"What?! Let me see!"

"Really, that's the topic for these three days!"

The students became angrier and angrier as they watched.

They worked hard and studied diligently for many years just for the fair opportunity of passing the imperial examination and changing their lives.

As an ordinary commoner, my status and position are naturally not as high as those of princes and nobles. If I want to achieve class crossing, the only way is to take the imperial examination.

Even if you can't get a good academic title, at least the fairness of the exam should be guaranteed.

I didn’t expect that nowadays, in the scientific examination which should be the most fair and just, there is a case of cheating questions.

Everyone looked at Ye Mingduo angrily.

Ye Mingduo's mind was blank at this moment.

He didn't know why the paper appeared in his clothes.

Looking at the angry eyes of the crowd, he felt he had no way to defend himself.

"It's not me, it's really not me..." Ye Mingduo murmured.

"You're still denying it now. Do you think having a few bucks is a big deal?" a student said angrily.

"He is so rich, he must have paid for the questions!" another student agreed.

Ye Mingduo was from Jiangnan. His family was in business. He was very generous and often treated his peers to dinner.

But these usual generosity has now become the handle for his business problems.

"We can't let him go! Report to the police!"

"Yes! Report to the police! Let's report to the police!"

A bunch of people were chattering about reporting to the police.

"We can't report to the police!" Ye Mingduo said in panic.

"Why can't you report it to the police?" Liu Jinfeng asked sarcastically, "Are you feeling guilty?"

"Even if we don't report to the police, do you think you can get away with this incident of stealing and buying questions?"

Ye Mingduo's mind was very confused and he had no idea what to do.

"Let's go and take him to the government office." Liu Jinfeng said.

Upon hearing this, two students came up and held Ye Mingduo's arms on the left and right. Ye Mingduo was dragged downstairs as if he had lost his soul.

In this way, the group headed to the Kyoto government office...

Hanlin Academy.

Jiang Ciyan was discussing political affairs with two colleagues.

A subordinate knocked on the door and entered hurriedly.

"My three lords, something bad has happened!"

"A candidate just reported to me that the exam questions were leaked!"

"what?!"

The three stood up in shock.

"Who reported it?" asked Lord Zhou.

"It was a candidate named Zhang Huaiyun. He said that a few days before the exam, someone asked him questions that were exactly the same as the ones in the exam!"

The subordinate didn't expect that the student who had just stopped him would actually report such a big thing, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Are you serious?" asked Lord Xu.

The subordinate nodded, "The student looks serious, he doesn't seem to be faking it."

"This...what should we do?" The two adults were panicked.

This is the first time they have encountered such a thing in all the years they have been in charge of scientific research.

"Quick, report this matter to His Majesty!" Lord Zhou said in a trembling voice.

"Wait a minute." Jiang Ci Jin suddenly spoke.

"Master Xiao Jiang, what do you think?"

Jiang Ciyan pondered for a while and said, "In my opinion, we must first find out whether what this student said is true or false. If we rashly report it to His Majesty, if there is any misunderstanding, you and I may not be able to bear the responsibility."

The two adults thought about it and expressed their deep agreement.

"Then how do we find out?" asked Lord Xu.

"Where is that student now?" Jiang Ci Yan asked.

"Sir Xiao Jiang, I know the situation is serious and I dare not leave him in the examination room, so I brought him here. He is now outside the door," the subordinate replied.

"No one else saw it, right?" Jiang Ci Yan confirmed with him.

"Your Excellency, no one else saw it."

"Okay, bring the person in first."
