The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

 Chapter 737: Public Trial and Perfect Counterattack (2)

Hearing this, the chief judge of the Ministry of Punishment looked at Emperor Hui'an and asked for his opinion.

Emperor Hui'an nodded slightly and agreed to Mo Qingze's request.

After Mo Qingze thanked him, he calmly asked the three of them: "You just saw someone stuffing something into me. I didn't show it to you at that time. Why do you think those are Qiu Wei's test questions and answers?"

The person who stood up to testify before said quickly: "You said it yourself, and you also said you wanted to share it with us. We didn't agree, so you hid the test questions and answers close to your body and left in a hurry."

This argument is quite reasonable, and there is no loophole in it.

Mo Qingze couldn't deny this, and asked a second question: "Compared with you, how is my knowledge and knowledge?"

Upon hearing this, the three of them vaguely understood the purpose of Mo Qingze's question. After hesitating for a moment, they had to admit: "Brother Ziyu's talents are beyond our reach."

Even if you say shamelessly that Mo Qingze's knowledge is far inferior to theirs, you can know this kind of thing just by asking around at Changshan Academy, and you can't lie at all.

There was a hint of coldness at the corner of Mo Qingze's mouth, and he asked another question: "As far as I know, among the three of you, one of you ranked fifteen, one of you eleven, and one of you ranked ninth! Regardless of whether you have this ability or not, if I really cheated and knew the test questions and answers in advance, would I do worse than you?"

Seeing the slightly stiff expressions on the three people's faces, Mo Qingze continued to ask coldly: "Or - who did you benefit from? You deliberately framed me, but you actually cheated to get such a ranking?"

Before they could react to the previous question, the three of them were caught off guard by the next big question. No one knows better than them how they achieved such results.

Looking at Mo Qingze's sarcastic expression and the suspicious eyes on him, the three of them forced themselves to calm down. At this point, if they cannot answer these two questions, sooner or later their background will be exposed, and it will not be as simple as falsely accusing them of perjury!

Among the three, the first one to commit perjury was the most steady, and he quickly came up with a rhetoric: "The examiners have different preferences, so they have different views on the article. The three of us have known each other for many years, and our writing style and brushstrokes are integrated, and they are just right." It’s okay to be valued by examiners who like such articles! As for the test questions and answers you got, why are you worse than ours? Isn’t it because you were worried that you would do too well in the test and arouse suspicion, so you did this on purpose?”

With these words, although it is a bit far-fetched to explain the first problem, it is not impossible. There is more than one examiner, each with his or her own preferences. It is not impossible to give an excellent grade to a favorite article, even if it has flaws.

As for the second question, it makes sense to say that smart people have existed since ancient times.

After hearing this, Mo Qingze showed no sign of anger or weakness after the question was dismissed. He knelt straight on the ground and said to Emperor Hui'an who was sitting high on the throne and the eight examiners on the left and right: "The so-called physical evidence is nothing more than Several pages with Qiu Wei test questions and answers were found from the place where the students stayed before the exam. If someone deliberately framed it, it is not impossible! The answers of these three people to the four questions raised by the students cannot be verified. This is not enough to prove that the student cheated in the exam! Therefore, in order to prove his innocence, the student asked to compete with these three people. If the student wins, it is enough to prove that the student has no need to cheat; if he loses, the student is willing to Plea guilty and bear all consequences.”
