Be a master through ancient times

"Come on, bring the drummer here!" County magistrate Zhang said. Judging from his more than ten years of experience as an official, although this Yang Bao is a bit slippery, there is no dodge in his eyes. Confused and annoyed face.

"Xiaosheng Chang Meng pays homage to my lord." The scholar who played the drum was brought up, and when he passed by Yang Bao, he gave him a hard look, as if he was ashamed to be with such a person.

"The surname is Chang? Well, it turns out that you, a nerd, wronged me!" Yang Bao looked up, and immediately became angry.

Chang Meng turned to look at him, and snorted coldly: "If you want people not to know, you have to do nothing! If you didn't cheat, how could you pass the exam? Everyone knows what you were like when you were in the academy!"

Yang Bao was so angry that he almost swears in the courtroom. He said: "Let your mother... I cheated if I passed the exam? There are too many people who passed the exam. Why do you say I cheated? What's more, I was cheating before. In the past, now is the present, do you understand that Shibie will look at you with admiration for three days?"

Moreover, he just didn't want to learn before, and it wasn't because he was stupid!

After Chang Meng listened to it, he pulled out a mocking smile: "You don't need to explain any more. As I said, if you want people not to know, you can't do it yourself. Now, I was seen by someone. Maybe this is the Skynet's recovery, and it's not leaking!"

"Who is it, let him come and say it himself!" Yang Bao said bitterly, he really wanted to see who that person was, and dared to say that he was cheating.

County Magistrate Zhang has been listening to the two of them talking, and soon, the person who raised his voice and said that he saw Yang Bao cheating was brought up.

"It's just that you said that you saw Yang Bao acting sneaky and suspected of cheating, right?"

"Back to my old parents, I, I...Xiaosheng did see Yang Bao and a man sneaking around at the back door of the academy. He didn't know what he was doing? At that time, Xiaosheng didn't know what he was doing, but today he heard what Brother Chang said. It's cheating." The man kneeling on the ground was a little nervous, he just yelled, and he never thought about getting a lawsuit.

Master Zhang heard his words, and immediately extracted the key from it: "You mean, in fact, you can't be quite sure that Yang Bao is really cheating, you just think his behavior is sneaky, right?"

The kneeling man immediately explained: "My lord, although I wasn't sure at the time, once the results of the county test came out, there was no doubt about it. As Brother Chang said, the county test is not easy, and we have all failed. It’s fine if he’s not as good as a human being, but this Yang Bao used the most contemptible trick, Xiaosheng got angry for a while, and then blurted out.”

Yang Bao was dumbfounded, these nerds were all very talkative.When he said that, he really seemed to be cheating.

"Yang Bao, what do you say?" The topic returned to Yang Bao.

"My lord, they are wronging me! I know that I might not be enterprising, but in the past few months, I have really worked hard, and I was pleasantly surprised by the county test, but it is not cheating as they said!" Yang Bao couldn't say anything nice, he just felt wronged.

County magistrate Zhang nodded after listening.He looked at Chang Meng and Ding Chen, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked a question: "As far as I know, this Yang Bao is at the bottom of the list. If he really cheated, why didn't he just take the top spot? If you know the name of the head of the county test, you must take the government test."

Chang Meng cupped his hands respectfully: "My lord, this is probably the cleverness of this person. The first name in the county test is too eye-catching. If he wins, there will definitely be more people watching him secretly. In order to show off easily."

Zhang Zhong nodded after hearing this: "What you said makes sense. Now, all you need to do is to find out one thing. That is, what did Yang Bao and that person do that day, and where is the secret transaction between the two of you? , and then find out Yang Bao’s answer sheet, if he really cheated, it will definitely be revealed on the answer sheet.”

Chang Ding and the two of them clasped their hands together and said, "Your Excellency is wise!"

Zhang Zhong looked at Yang Bao and asked him to recall the situation that day.

Yang Bao faltered and wanted to talk about him, but after receiving Zhang Zhong's instructions, he confessed honestly.

It turned out that he did buy exam questions from someone that day, but according to what he said, "the exam questions are sold every year, and I know that it is impossible to leak the questions, but isn't everything in case? It's just for peace of mind."

After he said it, he became more frank: "None of the above questions is the same as the content of this county examination. After I bought it, I only read it roughly, and then stuffed it back into the bamboo tube. The things are still in my study. Your lord can send someone to fetch them, and you will know at a glance."

His opportunistic thinking made everyone look down on him, but if it was true as he said, then Yang Bao really did not cheat.Zhang Zhong sent two yamen messengers to Yang Bao's house to collect the evidence, and during the time they got it back, they took a short rest.

When Zhang Zhong returned to the back hall, Zhao Li, the head of Feng Mo and Heping County Xueshan, went up to welcome him.As officials from other counties, it is not easy for them to go to the front hall to watch, but this matter involves fraud in the county examination. If it is true, they will all suffer.

Zhang Zhong also knew that they were anxious, so he told the whole thing.After hearing this, Feng and Zhao felt a little more relaxed. This was probably an oolong incident, but Yang Bao's mind really couldn't get on the table, so he still had to punish him with a small punishment and make an example to prevent other students from following him. Just like trying to do some crooked ways.

About two quarters of an hour later, those who collected evidence returned.Zhang Zhong took the bamboo tube, opened the top cover, took out the note inside, and squinted his eyes to look carefully.

After a while, he put down the note and said: "The content on it is indeed different from the county test questions, this Yang Bao, it is true that there is no—"

"Wait, my lord, this still doesn't prove that Yang Bao didn't cheat. What if he had destroyed the evidence before and exchanged it for this irrelevant test question? Yang Bao couldn't prove it at all. He bought it at the beginning. That's it." Chang Meng heard that Zhang Zhong was about to draw a conclusion, and immediately interrupted him regardless of his dignity.

Zhang Zhong paused, feeling a little annoyed in his heart, but he knew that what this person said was reasonable, and it would be better to be like this than to lose his reputation by wrongly judging the case.

"Yang Bao, who did you buy these test questions from? Can you prove that you bought these test questions before?"

Yang Bao was very depressed, he thought this would prove his innocence, but this bookworm refused to let him go!

"My lord, I bought this test question from a man named Jiantou. I don't know if this is his name, but I know that this man's whereabouts are unpredictable. It may be difficult to catch him." Tell each other.

"In that case, you can't prove your innocence at all."

"My lord, I can prove it! It's just..." Many struggles flashed across Yang Bao's face, which showed that he was in a fierce struggle in his heart. After a while, he showed a somewhat embarrassed smile and said, "My lord, I didn't buy it alone. For this test question, you only need to compare the ones they bought."

After finishing speaking, he apologized to those people in his heart.Everyone bought it, but he was the only one who passed the exam. It is really embarrassing to tell those people now.However, this is the only way to prove his innocence.
