Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

"Tell me, what's going on." Xiao Zirong sat on the top of the main hall and looked at the people below expressionlessly.

Several officials in charge of scientific research, including Mi Cai, stood below with their heads down, not daring to vent their anger.

It was terrible that King Jinling was angry.

But Mi Cai always felt that such a scene seemed familiar.

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally realized that it was the same as when the regent was angry.

It's just that if the regent's mind is not enough, he usually won't find that he is angry, but the king of Jinling put his anger on the table.

Xiao Xuexing is used to restraint, while Xiao Zirong said that it doesn't matter, he just wants to let people know that he is very angry now.

The hall was quiet, Xiao Zirong suddenly smiled, and asked very softly: "No one said so?"

Mi Cai trembled, well, it looks more like this all of a sudden.

Because of the psychological shadow on the regent, even though Mi Cai knew that he should say something at this time, he still didn't dare to speak.

But Xie Junsheng is helpless, long history is useless, so he has to do it.

He stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, this matter is our negligence, and we shouldn't arrange the candidates' desks too close."

Xiao Zirong raised his voice slightly: "Is it just this?"

Xie Junsheng hesitated and said: "Also... please give instructions from Your Highness."

Xiao Zirong said blankly: "Where's the invigilator? What are they doing for food? You don't even know you're cheating so blatantly?"

Xie Junsheng shut up immediately.

Yes, even if Xiao Zirong took precautions, he never expected that there would be cheaters, and the way of cheating was aboveboard: just looking at each other's answers under the eyes of the invigilator, this is outrageous!

As for the fact that even the invigilator didn't realize that these people were cheating, and how they found out later, it was still Xiao Zirong.

He directly set the order of the questions in different columns of the test paper differently, and then wrote all the answers on one answer sheet during the test.

There are no questions on the answer sheet, only answers, but when the paper is collected, the questions and answers are collected together.

Before Xiao Zirong left, he said that whispers were not allowed in the examination room, and that once found out, it would be treated as cheating.

So these candidates can't communicate with each other, so let's just show the answer sheet.

Then there were more than 30 candidates, no matter where they sat, the answers were the same.

The invigilator is blind, but the marking teacher is not blind. This pair of answers are not right. I thought it was a mistake made by the copyist and the writer. After consulting Mi Cai and Xie Junsheng, I transferred the original file, and found that the original That's it for the case file.

If they don't realize the problem by this time, they are hopelessly stupid.

There are really idiots who want to hide this matter. Anyway, there will be a second exam. The first exam is just some basic questions. These people have to copy the basic questions. They will definitely not pass the second exam. the same.

Needless to say, many people still think this argument makes sense.

They did many things like deceiving others, and the fact that Xiao Zirong stabbed Captain Beigu with a sword at the banquet left a psychological shadow on them. The sword stabbed them, and they all agreed hesitantly.

Of course, Mi Cai and Xie Junsheng disagreed, but what they thought was that since they had already made a mistake, they should make amends first. If you are angry, you can punish it mildly at best.

If it can't be remedied, at least they try to control the situation.

Mi Cai knew Xiao Zirong to some extent, and the previous things were all small troubles on the Jinling territory. Even if Xiao Zirong killed someone, the court would not care about it, because it didn't affect too much.

But this imperial examination can be regarded as testing the waters. Jiankang is waiting for the feedback here. It is not an exaggeration to say that it has attracted much attention. According to the character of King Jinling, it must be perfect.

In the end, there was such a big mistake. The young man is thin-skinned, and he has not experienced many setbacks. How can he stand this kind of embarrassing way?

So his idea is to make amends first, to recover the disaster-level mistakes, if the court doesn't care, and the King of Jinling doesn't feel so ashamed, then this matter can still be saved.

They thought very well, anyway, Xiao Zirong didn't seem to be able to come back for a while, but the problem was that there was a traitor among them.

These traitors are the little ladies who took the exam.

A total of seventeen young ladies were placed in a separate examination room, and even the examiners were assigned by Liu Cainiang and Bai Yan back and forth. The test papers were distributed and the guards outside the gate were Taoyuan Guards. All the procedures were the same as those of the men. .

The little ladies all cherished such an opportunity, and those who dared to take the exam were also very confident.

Liu Cainiang and Bai Yan are also familiar with this process, so there were no problems during the whole match.

Naturally, Bai Yan came to review their test papers. In order to show justice, all the officials who reviewed the test papers were locked in a courtyard. Bai Yan had a separate room, and she was also guarded by Taoyuan guards, so she was not afraid of anything happening.

As for the reputation... Bai Yan has already looked away.

Then Bai Yan got wind of it, and happened to let Xie Lianyun, who came to play with Liu Cainiang, hear it when she was talking to Liu Cainiang.

Xie Lianyun was so angry at that time, these little ladies worked hard and took the exam seriously, but the result was not sure, those stinky men cheated and were still covered by others, how could this work?

Xie Lianyun went back to confront her brother at that time, but Xie Junsheng was patient with his sister and explained why they did so.

Xie Lianyun almost died of anger at the time: "Are you stupid? I don't have much contact with His Royal Highness Jinling, but I also know that this is not a person who can hold sand in his eyes. You should report it when something happens and hide it." It’s a big crime not to report it, isn’t His Royal Highness King Jinling angry?”

After she finished speaking, she looked around, and said in a low voice, "Brother, it's fine if you are under the King of Jinling. You have worked hard for many years without credit, but now...to put it bluntly, King Jinling Maybe I'm watching you all, and replace all the inappropriate ones, isn't the lesson from the previous episode not enough?"

How could Xie Junsheng not understand this truth?He hesitated and said, "But Mi Cai..."

He knew it in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. He still wanted to mess around, and he couldn't offend all his colleagues.

Xie Lianyun rolled his eyes in a very unladylike way: "What happened to Mi Cai? After this incident came out, Mi Cai was at most a fine, believe it or not? He was chosen by His Majesty and the Regent to be the long history of the King of Jinling. Even for the sake of these two, King Ling will not be too harsh on Mi Cai, if he is not good at punishing Mi Cai, who do you think is the most suitable scapegoat under Mi Cai?"

Xie Junsheng had a bitter face, and felt relieved about his sister's IQ, but...he didn't want to feel relieved in this way at all.

Xie Lianyun was also helpless, she soon understood Xie Junsheng's embarrassment, hesitated for a while and said: "Forget it, leave this matter to me, don't worry about it, when something happens, just say I made the decision without permission, you don't know anything That's it."

Xie Junsheng trembled: "What do you want to do?"

Xie Lianyun raised her head: "Beat them!"

Xie Junsheng:? ? ?

Isn't it a complaint?

Of course the complaint is going to be filed, but before that, can't we let the little ladies vent their anger?

The tempers of the little ladies who dared to take part in the scientific examination were fierce, but if they didn't have such a temper, it was impossible for them to come out to take the scientific examination.

These days, there are not many men who study, let alone women. Most of the women who can study are from good families, and the well-off families can't let their daughters study, so generally the family has some official position or something.

In this situation, if you can persuade your family members or resist your family members to come out for the exam, how can you not be firm and brave?

And because there were too many obstacles, the little ladies hated unfairness even more. Now that they finally got a fair treatment, those shameless people actually dared to cheat.

If you don't beat them, who will you beat?

It just so happened that these thirty or so people were all from the same township. Of course, they were reluctant to say that they were from the same township, and they didn't know each other before, but they all came to Jingkou, so as long as they were all from the same county, they should get closer, naturally. They will live together subconsciously.

It also saves the time for these little ladies to find.

Of course, even if you want to look for it, you can find it. After all, there are Liu Cainiang and Bai Yan.

Logically speaking, these dozen or so little ladies couldn't beat each other, even if the other party didn't ask others for help, there were about thirty of them, and they were all much larger than them.

It's just that Liu Cainiang gave some Taoyuan guards a vacation and asked them to wear casual clothes to pretend to be the little ladies who took the exam.

In order not to be too conspicuous by the number of people, some girls who were weaker and less likely to fight did not go there.

In the end, only Xie Lianyun and the other two young ladies with good skills followed, and then... more than a dozen young ladies beat up thirty or so big men until they cried like hell.

These people are candidates, the kind who get preferential treatment when they arrive in Jingkou, how can they bear this anger?

So I reported it to the county magistrate Xie Junsheng.

This matter became serious, and Mi Cai saw Taoyuanwei among those little ladies with sharp eyes, and his heart skipped a beat, knowing that this matter could no longer be concealed.

Everyone in Taoyuanwei is capable of writing and martial arts, so it is not a problem to sue.

So Mi Cai finally had a good time, and after describing the matter quickly, he wrote a letter to Xiao Zirong.

After all, Liu Cainiang and Bai Yan still saved some face for Mi Cai. After all, Mi Cai was very polite when facing them two disfigured people, and there was nothing unusual. They cooperated happily with each other. In this case, always save some face for the other party.

If they continue to cover up the rubbish after this incident, they will sue.

So Xiao Zirong received Mi Cai's letter, but Mi Cai didn't dare to hide it, so he told everything.

Xiao Zirong deeply felt that it was too early for him to feel relieved.

He originally thought that in Taoyuan City, those little ladies could do things, these people shouldn't make any mistakes.

At that time, the little ladies didn't understand anything, but it was useless for him to take care of them. Now these officials are good at handling general affairs, let alone any problems.

In the end, he didn't expect to poke a big basket for him.

Xiao Zirong was actually not that angry when he sat on it. He hadn't been in Jinling for a long time, but he could see that if he really wanted to be serious about everything, he might be angry every day.

So he sat there with a very relaxed posture and asked: "Tell me, how do you want to solve it?"

However, he acted relaxed, but the people below couldn't help shaking. King Jinling didn't go into a rage and wanted to stab someone, it must be wrong!
