Save the Bachelor of Heaven

  Chapter 475 476 [Ji Yue meets]

  Xiang Nanyi stopped staring here, and the officers and soldiers searched much less vigorously.

  When it was Du Xiaoyue's turn, she quickly stuffed a piece of silver into the hands of the inspecting officers and soldiers while no one was paying attention.

  The officers and soldiers were stunned, glanced at each other, and then winked, "Go in soon."

  Du Xiaoyue walked into the examination room triumphantly.

  When Du Xiaoyue successfully passed the test, Xiang Nan returned to the high platform again.

  The inspection of the soldiers became strict again.

  In a short while, more than a dozen candidates were found out, and they were tied together in front of the gate of the Gongyuan and howled for the public.

  Their shrill screams could be heard clearly even in the Gongyuan, which was chilling.

  …

  After the inspection, the exam officially starts.

  Xiang Nan led the local officials to patrol room by room to see if there were any candidates who cheated.

  I saw that the examinees were in various poses, some were writing furiously, some were dumbfounded, some were crying, and some were scratching their heads...

   At this moment, suddenly a candidate stood up with a big laugh, "I am the No.

  The officers and soldiers immediately stepped forward and pulled him out.

   "Well, Mr. Wu Jingzi wrote an article "The Scholars", in which there is a Fan Jin who went crazy after winning the exam." Xiang Nan sighed, "This is great, he hasn't won yet, he is already crazy."

  Wu Zui nodded in agreement.

  Xiang Nan smiled, and continued walking, and saw Du Xiaoyue sitting in the number room, looking around, at a loss.

  Du Xiaoyue wanted to use the imperial examination to sue her superiors for justice. She knew that this year was the Empress Dowager's birthday, so she asked Enke to take up her post. The imperial court also attached great importance to it, and sent important officials to inspect it.

   It was Ji Xiaolan, a well-known upright official with a clean and honest official voice, who came to Yunzhou Prefecture.

  So she took part in the imperial examination under a fake name, hoping to attract Ji Xiaolan's attention, and help them avenge their grievances,

  But she didn't know a single word, and she didn't know how to write a petition, so she was like an ant on a hot pot, flustered.

  …

   "Haha, this examinee is so nervous that he doesn't even know how to hold the pen?" Xiang Nan stepped forward with a smile and said, "Come on, come on, come on, calm down, don't worry, take your time!"

  As he spoke, he corrected Du Xiaoyue's way of holding the pen.

   "Who are you?" Du Xiaoyue was annoyed, thinking he was meddlesome, and said angrily.

   "Don't be presumptuous, this is a scholar from the capital, Mr. Ji Yunji." Seeing her disrespect, Wu Zui immediately stepped forward and scolded her.

   "You are Ji Xiaolan who is known as Ji Dayandai?" Du Xiaoyue's eyes lit up when she heard this.

   "Oh, you know me?" Xiang Nan laughed.

   "Of course. Ji Xiaolan tied a big gong on her feet, and it rang wherever she went~" Du Xiaoyue nodded.

   "Ha, flattery is comfortable, but it's useless. This official will still grade the papers impartially and will not engage in favoritism." Xiang Nan laughed.

   "Mr. Ji, are you smart?" Du Xiaoyue asked suddenly.

   "You asked me if I'm smart, haha~" Xiang Nan laughed.

   "I really don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth. Mr. Ji is the most talented person in the world~" Wu Zui stepped forward and flattered him.

   "I don't worry about writing the paper well, I'm afraid you can't understand it." Du Xiaoyue said coldly.

   "Can't understand?! Is there any article in the world that I, Ji Xiaolan, can't understand? Let me tell you, as long as the paper is written in this ink, I can understand it." Xiang Nan laughed.

   "It's written in blood, can you understand it?" Du Xiaoyue said coldly, with sharp eyes and murderous intent.

  Xiang Nan smiled, "I, Ji Xiaolan, have a public heart and seek talents for the community. I can understand any papers."

  Du Xiaoyue's eyes lit up when she heard it.

  …

  After Xiang Nan left with Wu Zui and others, Du Xiaoyue took out a dagger from her waist, cut her **** and wrote many words of injustice on the paper.

  Xiang Nan originally wanted to come back to find Du Xiaoyue and get in touch with her. However, he was an imperial envoy with a high position and authority. Wu Zui and other local officials were eager to curry favor and serve him attentively. He was followed wherever he went, so Xiang Nan had no choice but to let it go.

  After the township examination, he began to mark the papers with the examiners.

  With Ji Xiaolan's knowledge, it is naturally easy to tell whether a candidate's essay is well written.

   Therefore, Xiang Nan's grading is also very fair and neat.

   "Bullshit article, it won't hit!", "This article is good, but it's a pity that this stinky word won't hit!"

   While commenting, an official suddenly walked in, "Master Ji, the prefect of Wu invites you to the banquet."

   "Going to the banquet?!" Xiang Nan was taken aback, knowing that Wu Zui was flattering him again, and he would meet Du Xiaoyue again at this banquet.

  However, Qianlong and He Shen would also appear at this banquet, and when they saw that they and Du Xiaoyue were making fun of each other, they would be furious and dismissed from their posts.

  So, this banquet is the Hongmen Banquet. But if he didn't go, he wouldn't know Du Xiaoyue. Moreover, Qianlong removed him from his post to facilitate his thorough investigation into the case of local officials privately distributing disaster relief food.

  Therefore, even if he didn't play tricks with Du Xiaoyue, Qianlong would use other excuses to dismiss him. So after thinking about it, Xiang Nan still decided to go to the banquet.

  But on the surface, he still wanted to shirk, "No. I'm still busy reviewing papers. There may be a pillar of the country here, how can I leave without authorization."

   "Master Ji, in order to entertain you, the prefect of Wu invited the best actors in Yunzhou to sing." The official persuaded with a smile again.

   "The best actor? What's his name?" Xiang Nan asked.

   "Du Xiaoyue! Her singing "Legend of the White Snake" is the best in Yunzhou City." The official explained with a smile.

   "Du Xiaoyue?! Never heard of it, go back to the prefect of Wu for me." Xiang Nan waved his hand again.

  When the officials saw this, they had no choice but to do so.

  …

  Just as the official left, an invigilator hurried in again, "Master Ji, a strange paper has been published, please come and take a look."

  Xiang Nan followed him to the transcription room, and the transcription officer handed him an examination paper.

  Xiang Nan unfolded it and saw seven or eight characters of injustice, large and small, written in blood on the scroll. Shocking and chilling!

   "Whose paper is this?" He asked knowingly.

   "There is no name on the paper." All the examiners shook their heads.

   "Oh, I remembered, this person's name is Mo Chou." Xiang Nan asked himself and replied, "Come on, search the whole city immediately, and make sure to bring Mo Chou to justice."

   "Master Ji, a few days ago, the magistrate arrested a key criminal, named Mo Chou." An official frowned and said, "But she is in a prison now, so it is impossible for her to come to take the exam."

   "It seems that someone is impersonating someone." Another official frowned, "It will be difficult to find the real culprit."

   "Master Ji, Enke's papers like this are treasonous. Not only the candidates will be beheaded, but we officials will also sit down." The invigilator frowned.

   "I know that." Xiang Nan nodded, "Then what else do you think?"

   "Burn this paper, and we will replace it with other articles. As long as he is not allowed to fall into it, it will be over in peace." The scribe suggested.

  Everyone nodded.

   Enke took office, and if such a treasonous thing happened, he would be beheaded. These examiners will also be implicated, and demotion and dismissal are light. Even beheading, exile, and ransacking are very likely. Therefore, it is the best way to make big things small and small things small.

"Everyone, have you ever thought that this person would rather take the risk of beheading to write this article. If there is no great injustice, how could he take such a risk?" Xiang Nan sighed, "Okay, everyone, Ji Xiaolan will take care of this matter. Come here, prepare the sedan chair, I'm going to the government office to watch a play! Hey, I didn't expect to leave the capital, and I can't escape the right and wrong!"
