On the night of the second day, Hu Yongpei had the courage to open the square hole on the door of Lin Jue's house, wanting to wake Lin Jue up. But he was almost discovered by other deputy inspectors passing by, but fortunately, he was rushed to prevaricate. Although he is the chief examiner, once his fraud is discovered, the deputy examiner will also be jointly and severally guilty, so the chief examiner and deputy examiner are actually in a relationship of mutual supervision and prevention. Once they suspect it, they will never ignore it. After experiencing this shock, Hu Yongpei decided that he could not take this risk. But he couldn't do anything wrong, so on the night of the last day, he secretly threw a ball of paper into the snoring house. Three words were written on the paper, 'Pi Xiuzai'. This 'Pi Xiuzai' is a curse sentence, Hu Yongpei hopes that this candidate named Lin Jue can understand his painstaking meaning. If he saw this note and understood what he meant, and could write the words 'Pi Xiuzai' on the exam paper, then he would know that this was Lin Jue's answer sheet when he was marking the paper, and he could admit Lin Jue to the test paper. As the examiner, he has the final say on whether he wants to do it or not.

However, what made Hu Yongpei vomit blood angrily was that when the autumn exam ended, he came to the No. 138 house for the first time and found the paper ball he threw in the corner. The ball of paper hadn't even been opened, and it was in the same direction where I had thrown it in. He was sure that this candidate named Lin Jue had not seen this note. Not only was the paper ball not opened, but the position was not moved. What made him even more certain was that if this Lin Jue saw this note and understood the meaning, he would definitely destroy the note, and it was impossible for him to let the paper ball remain in the house. Because, after the exam, the examiner has to clean up and inspect the house. If any abnormalities are found, the test taker will be judged to have cheated immediately.

Hu Yongpei was also worried about this, so he rushed to this house to inspect it as soon as possible, because he was worried that such a situation would occur. Now the note has been taken back by myself, but I'm afraid it hasn't been done. The exam paper is vague, and it has to go through the level of transcription, and the final exam paper that will be judged in your own hands will be the test paper copied by Yishui's pavilion body, and you will not be able to distinguish the identity of the candidate.

So the question is, in this case, how can we fulfill Wu Chunlai's instructions and admit this Lin Jue in?

In the past 20 days, Hu Yongpei was the busiest one, and he personally passed tens of thousands of answer sheets, far exceeding the number of other deputy examiners. All the deputy examiners were in awe of him. The examiner was meticulous and set an example for everyone. is worthy of being an important member of the Ministry of Etiquette, and his efficiency and attitude are really superior.

However, how did they know that Hu Yongpei was even more perverted than they imagined. He passed almost all of the more than 30,000 answer sheets. While others were sleeping and resting, he still held the lamp alone and read the papers, tirelessly. But he is not doing this dedicatedly and responsibly, he is just doing his last try, holding on to a glimmer of hope. I hope that the candidate named Lin Jue saw the note; I hope he understands what he means, and I hope to see the words 'Pi Xiuya' on the answer sheet. He refused to let go of any answer sheet, for fear of missing the answer sheet with these three words.

However, in the end, he was still disappointed, and none of the answer sheets had the code of those three words, which showed that Lin Jue really didn't read the note, and he didn't understand his hard work at all.

Now, Hu Yongpei has no choice. Although I was uneasy about this matter, I didn't know how to explain it to Wu Chun afterwards. But the things in front of him still have to be done honestly, and if he doesn't complete Wu Chunlai's entrustment, he won't lose his head, but if he doesn't fulfill his responsibility as the chief examiner, the court will want his own life. So he had to brace himself and take a few deputy examiners to do the final screening.

On top of the long case, one by one the answer sheets were passed in the hands of several chief and deputy examiners in turn. The last round of screening is very difficult, the remaining 2,000 examination papers are already the best among the more than 30,000 candidates, and the level is relatively high, and the screening of 430 people means that another 1,600 people will be eliminated, which is a difficult job. The five chief and deputy examiners had to use the method of voting, and three of the five people agreed to enter the next round of one examination paper, and no more than three were eliminated.

From morning to night, from day to night, several examiners were dizzy and had dry mouths. Because although it is a vote, in the face of the same examination paper, it is inevitable that there will be differences of opinion and controversy. This person thinks that his poetry and essays are not good, but in the eyes of another person, they have to fight for it, so the selection process is equally difficult.

Three days passed in the midst of this debate and boring sifting. Two thousand became a thousand, a thousand became five hundred, and five hundred eventually eliminated dozens more after a fierce quarrel. Finally, on the second watch of the third day, the answer sheets of the remaining 430 lucky winners were finally divided into three stacks and placed in front of the five chief examiners with bloodshot eyes and haggard faces.

Hu Yongpei spread out on the chair, his thin face full of exhaustion. He was the hardest of the examiners. He hadn't read any of the more than 30,000 exam papers, and the physical fatigue and mental fatigue almost crushed him.

"A few adults, this year's Liangzhejiang Road test is finally coming to an end, and this official has never experienced such a hard autumn exam, and he is really exhausted. However, for the sake of the imperial court and the saints, for the continuation of my Great Zhou Guozuo, and for the selection of more pillars of the imperial court, it is worth our hard work. Hu Yongpei said in a hoarse voice.

"yes, yes, it's finally over. Lord Hu has worked hard, and all adults have worked hard. I hope that the more than 400 tribute students of Liangzhejiang Road selected by us will be able to achieve some success in the Spring Examination next year and contribute to the imperial court. It's not in vain that we old bones have been here every day and every night for a month. ”

"Hahaha, exactly. If there are a few more first-class and second-class jinshi in the spring next year, we will not work hard in vain. There is also a light on the face. ”

Several deputy examiners nodded their heads.

Hu Yongpei nodded and said: "Half ninety miles of travel, the red list will be posted tomorrow, we have to work harder tonight, discuss the top ten tribute students, and point out the two Zhejiang Road undergraduates." An announcement will be made tomorrow. ”

"That's right, this is the last step, we have to work harder." The deputy examiners nodded again and again.

Hu Yongpei smiled: "You should understand that the selection of the top ten must not be ignored, because it is related to the face of Liangzhejiang Road and the vision and level of you and me." The top 10 on the red list represents the top level of more than 30,000 undergraduate candidates in Liangzhejiang Road, and they must pass the spring exam next year. If someone in the top ten falls to Sun Shan next year, wouldn't the world have to laugh at the level of the candidates on the two Zhejiang roads and the knowledge and vision of you and me? So this must be done with caution. In particular, those who remove the head should be cautious. Otherwise, in the spring exam next year, if we fail to pass the exam, wouldn't it make the world laugh off their big teeth? ”

The four deputy examiners nodded their heads again and again, deeply agreed. This is not a joke, this matter is not only about the face, but also about the inside. Among the top 10,000 candidates, if they can't pass the test in the spring of next year, it will be really ridiculous and generous. Being ridiculed for the poor level of the candidates in Liangzhejiang Road or the lack of talent of the examining officials is secondary, and if it is suspected of fraud in the field because of this, it will be a big trouble for the imperial court to investigate. Although everyone asked themselves that there was no fraud, as long as the court checked, even if they couldn't find anything, the reputations of several people were ruined.

"Without further ado, you all know the importance, so let's get started. There are five of us, and each of us picks out three of the top 10 people that we think can be listed, so that there are fifteen people. Then everyone focused on the elimination of five and the top ten. Then select the best one from them to solve the head. What do the adults think? Hu Yongpei said.

"Yes, it's fair." Several deputy examiners spoke in unison.

The next moment, the five of them began to find the answer sheets that they felt were very good in the process of grading, three for each person, and fifteen answer sheets were quickly gathered together. Not surprisingly, these answers came from the third of the three stacks on the table. It was more than 30 answer sheets that had been unanimously approved in the previous voting, and it was the best among the candidates. After an hour of discussion, the top 10 answers were officially determined.

Next is the most important point of the solution, the first of these ten people is the first to solve the head, which is also the leader of the two Zhejiang Road Autumn Examination, so several examiners are more cautious. After reviewing the 10 answer sheets, in the end, everyone's opinions focused on two of them.
