Jukui Hall, here is the residence of the inner curtain official.

Under the leadership of Jinda, the two chief examiners and seven fellow examiners worshiped the Confucian saint according to the custom, and then unsealed the township examination questions, and then sent the examination questions to the outer curtain through the heavily guarded Feihong Bridge, which was regarded as idle.

Although 75 protégés were able to be recruited through the township examination, their gang suffered a lot of crimes during the township examination.

From the time they entered here, there was not much difference in the essence of following the prisoners. They can't have contact with outsiders, let alone leave here lightly, they have to stay here honestly for half a month, and their only job is to review the files here.

Jinda's age is not young, and he is not accustomed to the water and soil here in Lingnan, and his health is slightly ill. In addition, it was the first time to preside over the township test, and I was inevitably a little nervous, I slept late last night, and I plan to make up for sleep.

After greeting the eight companions, he planned to go back to his room to rest and recuperate for the examination of the papers in three days.

"Let's go back and rest!"

Deputy Chief Examiner Nan Zhili Suzhou Mansion Xuezheng Song Dasheng saw that Jinda was leaving, yawned, and also encouraged everyone to go back to the room to rest.

Among the seven same examiners, Nanyang County, Nanyang Prefecture, Henan Province, taught Yu Tong Tianyin to have a straight face, it was when he was in the prime of life, the whole person looked calm, watching everyone leave, but suddenly said: "Don't you think it's strange? It is said that the exam should start at this hour, why is the bell of Mingyuan Tower not ringing for a long time? ”

When everyone heard this, they also felt a little strange, and they all looked towards the door. Because Jukui Hall sits in the north direction and follows the layout of the Gongyuan, you can see the Wangyuan Tower from a distance.

Jinda, who was about to go back to the room to catch up on sleep, walked to the door, and also looked in the direction of Mingyuan Building suspiciously, but he felt that something was wrong, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

In fact, he woke up this morning when he was ugly, and had a nightmare about being haunted by a big snake, so his heart was hanging all the time, and he always felt that this township test might not go well.

I thought that everything would be fine if I sent the rolls out, but I never expected that things seemed to be really wrong.

"Could it be that the bell has been ringed, we just talked here, so I just didn't hear it!" Zeng Chen, a teacher from Huguang Changsha Mansion, was a little old, but he made a judgment.

Deputy Chief Examiner Song Dasheng shook his head categorically and said, "Impossible! This official used to be the same examiner, and the bell of this Mingyuan Building has always been loud, and it is impossible for us not to hear it in Jukui Hall! ”

But at this time, Ruan Hui, the commander of the Guangzhou guard who was in charge of guarding here, strode over and said, "Lord Jin, Lord Fantai and Lord Zhentai have invited you to go out, saying that they have something important to discuss. ”

After the township test locked the hospital, no notes were allowed to come and go, let alone outsiders were allowed to enter. However, if Jinda agrees, he can leave here for a while, after all, there is no formal review yet.

"Commander Ruan, do you know what is going on?" Jiaoyu Sun Yi, from Lujiang County, Luzhou Prefecture, asked curiously.

Ruan Hui looked at the curious looks of the others, and said honestly: "The current duty of the last general is to guard here, and he doesn't dare to inquire about other things!" As he spoke, he said earnestly to Jinda: "Lord Jin, please go out again, Lord Fantai said that if you don't go out, this township will ...... I can't go on! ”

Yes?

When everyone heard this, they were immediately shocked, and they looked at Jinda.

Jinda knew that something terrible had happened, so he chose to follow Commander Ruan and leave here.

To the public hall, it is located on the central axis of the Gongyuan.

Jinda walked in with Ruan Hui and found that the four bigwigs in Guangdong were sitting here, including his former colleague and boss Lin Haoran, and something terrible had happened.

Wang Bai nodded lightly at Pan Jitao, who understood and carefully explained the cheating situation to Jinda, as well as the astonishing fact that the township test had been leaked.

When speaking, Wang Bai and the others also observed Jinda's reaction, and seemed to want to see some clues from Jinda's face.

"Really?" Jinda asked earnestly with a look of disbelief on her face.

Wang Bai sighed lightly and nodded lightly: "If it weren't for that, we wouldn't dare to start the exam for a long time!" At the moment, either the revision adult will go back to rediscuss the exam questions, or stop the township examination and play this matter to the court, I don't know what the revision lord wants? ”

Compared with the imperial court, this reconsideration of the examination questions is undoubtedly a more secure way, which not only solves the disadvantages of leaking the questions, but also allows the township examination to proceed smoothly. It's just that in this case, there is no doubt that the pressure on Jinda will be even greater.

Now that the leak has become a fact, Kim Da has become one of the suspects. If the issue is re-examined, it will undoubtedly be "illegal", and the pressure will be even greater.

After thinking about it for a while, Jinda made a choice and said: "This official will play the court to show his innocence!" ”

Wang Bai and Xiao Xu exchanged glances, but the two couldn't help but be happy. Originally, they also planned to stop the township test, but now that Jinda made the decision, the pressure undoubtedly shifted to Jinda.

Lin Haoran was sad, and Jinda was undoubtedly seeking "self-preservation" and striving for an impression of "exposing". But in this way, the pressure will undoubtedly be transferred to Wu Shan, and he will even succeed in preventing Wu Shan from entering the cabinet.

The order to stop the examination was quickly conveyed, and the candidates who were nervously waiting for the examination were driven out of the Gongyuan by the soldiers of Guangzhou Wei before they had time to clean up the dormitory.

"What's going on?"

"Something terrible must have happened!"

"If you can't take the test, could it be that our examiner suddenly died?"

"Just now, I thought that this Tribute Courtyard was sassy, and there wouldn't really be a Yin Soul asking for his life, right?"

……

The expulsion of the candidates from the Tribute Academy did not cause too strong a sense of resistance, after all, it was not they who were driven out alone, but all the candidates who were kicked out of the Tribute Academy.

The official reason given is: "Due to special reasons, the current rural examination is suspended, and you will wait for the re-examination date to go back and wait for the notice", so that everyone does not know what is happening, and can only rely on random speculation.

The news soon spread throughout the streets and alleys of Guangzhou City, and the entire Guangzhou City was in an uproar. Finally ushered in the triennial township exam, which has just begun, but the exam was suddenly suspended inexplicably, everything is so weird.

However, there is no impermeable wall in this world, and too many people know about the leakage, and the matter is slowly being spread out, so that more and more scholars know.

Of course, although such a large case of township test fraud occurred in Guangdong, the whirlpool was in the capital thousands of miles away.
