"In addition to guns and entrainment, transmission is also a common means," Chen Laoliu said: "There are transmissions in the examination room, as well as transmissions inside and outside the examination room, but most of them require the cooperation of invigilators." The little one only heard that a few years ago, there were snitches who were invited in and out of the examination room to deliver the news, and I don't know if it's true or not. ”

Wang Xian nodded, said in his heart that there were already three kinds of this, and asked again, "Is there anything else?" ”

"There is also a joint, which is not something that adults can manage." Chen Laoliu said: "The candidates and the examiner have already made an appointment on the words, and when the time comes, the candidates will embed the words in the article, and as long as the examiner finds them, they will be admitted." As long as neither side leaks the news, there is no danger. ”

Wang Xian's old face couldn't help but blush, isn't this how his identity came, and he hurriedly asked the next question: "Is there anything else?" ”

"And then there's the cut." Chen Laoliu said: "That is the practice of sealing, transcribing or marking the papers, that is, to cut off the two rolls of A and B, paste the roll of A on B, and then paste the roll of B on A. ”

Chen Laoliu talked a few more, which opened Wang Xian's eyes, and he knew that there were methods of cheating in all aspects of the imperial examination, which was really impossible to prevent. However, for him, the search officer, the most important thing is to guard against entrainment, and it is not his responsibility to go wrong in the rest of the links.

After turning around the examination room and the outer curtain of the Gongyuan, Wang Xian returned to the public court. As for the inner curtain part behind Feihongqiao, although it was not forbidden to enter before the exam, it had nothing to do with Wang Xian, and he didn't bother to pay attention to it. When he returned to the court, he was just in time for Liang Qian, the chief examiner of the examination, and he was convening the internal and external curtain officials to give a lecture, and what he said was nothing more than what the emperor and Ji Gang had said, impartial law enforcement, and sharp eyes. Later, the discipline gang once again clarified the duties of the officials, and each of them issued a copy of the "Rules for the Examination of the Meeting" compiled by the Ministry of Rites, and ordered them to read it carefully.

After that, it is the reception banquet, because it is for the emperor to take the scholars, the food is provided by the Guanglu Temple, naturally it is exquisite and delicious, it costs a lot of money, the civil and military affairs are clearly distinguished, the civil officials chant poems and are not happy, and the military attachés are also happy to drink and persuade wine. Wang Xian wanted to sit with the military attaché, but he was called to the civil officer's table by the chief examiner, and fell into the eyes of the rest of the civil officials.

Wang Xian doesn't care about it so much, as long as he doesn't have a seat with Ji Gang, this is a tribute courtyard, without his own brothers, Ji Gang really wants to make trouble, and he really has no way. But fortunately, the country has a talent ceremony, and Ji Gang doesn't dare to mess around for no reason, so it's good not to clash with him.

Fortunately, Ji Gang did not mean to make trouble, and the banquet was peaceful, and then the officials went back to their residences to rest. Wang Xian read through the "Code" issued overnight, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed...... This "Code" is strict everywhere, and the only item for search is too loose.

This is not that the officials of the Ministry of Rites who formulated the "Code" deliberately embarrassed him, but that there is Emperor Taizu's jade training in it. The search is aimed at 'entrainment', also known as 'coercion', which is the most common and most common form of fraud in the imperial examination
