Of course, he would not relax Jin Lougui's studies, and with Shen Xinru as his spy, it would be much easier to keep an eye on him.

During this period, matchmakers came to Tu Yufan's house and wanted to find him a wife, but he rejected them all.

I heard that my daughter opened her business in the capital, and her extremely bad parents became even more impoverished. They cursed their daughter at the entrance of the village all day long, saying that her daughter was unfilial and left home after earning money as a little girl.

I also want to arrange a ghost marriage for her.

A month later, her family was robbed, and some were left mute or disabled.

Tu Yufan knew that it was the male student's work, and probably he was afraid that the female student would blame him if she knew the truth, so he showed mercy and spared their lives. However, Tu Yufan thought that it would be better to kill them quickly.

Two years later, the provincial examination was about to begin. This time, Tu Yufan and several people from the academy set out on the road to the provincial government.

After Tu Yufan checked into the inn, two days before the exam, his companion Mu Qianji suddenly knocked on the door of Liu Yi next door.

Although the two men lowered their voices, Tu Yufan vaguely felt something. His expression turned slightly cold and he walked forward to close the door.

Afterwards, Mu Qianji knocked on Tu Yufan's door randomly.

Tu Yufan pretended not to hear. Mu Qianji knocked for a long time and finally stopped.

"Brother Yufan went out?" Mu Qianji's voice was a little anxious. Liu Yi whispered, "He must have gone out, otherwise he wouldn't have been silent for such a long time."

Mu Qianji: "But among all of us, Yufan is the only one who keeps his mouth shut."

"Let's look at other people. I've noticed that Brother Yufan always ranks among the top in every assessment. Maybe he doesn't want to take shortcuts."

Mu Qianji sneered and said, "It doesn't matter how knowledgeable he is. If he doesn't join, someone else will naturally take his place. If he fails to get in, it can only be said that he is unlucky."

The two chatted for a long time in the next room, and then looked for other students. Later, after inviting one person, the three of them left stealthily.

Tu Yufan looked normal, but his memory began to search for the original plot, and his face gradually became solemn.

In the 15th year of Kangle's reign, a famous cheating case occurred, which was later called the "Anhe Fraud Case". It implicated a wide range of people, and all the examiners and candidates involved were punished.

This imperial examination implicated the Left Prime Minister Chen Hongyu, who had falsely accused the crown prince of setting up an altar to curse the emperor, resulting in the crown prince Xiang Chengting being deposed. He was driven out of the capital by the emperor to guard the imperial mausoleum and was never allowed to return to the capital.

After this fraud occurred, the emperor was furious and ordered an investigation. Finally, the investigation led to Chen Hongyu. Someone reported to the emperor that Chen Hongyu had bad conduct and was so bold that he dared to use the foundation of the country as a means to make money. He might have some secrets in his past about what he said about the prince.

The emperor also listened to the rumors and asked people from the clan affairs office to carefully investigate the incident at the prince's altar. Later it was confirmed that the prince had indeed been slandered.

The emperor immediately ordered the restoration of Xiang Chengting's title as crown prince and allowed him to return to Beijing from the imperial mausoleum. Unfortunately, he was murdered by a traitor on his way back to Beijing.

This benefited the Fourth Prince, who was Nakaji's cousin. The Fourth Prince's succession to the throne further strengthened Nakaji's power, and no one in the capital dared to offend him.

Tu Yufan was also speechless. It was so unlucky that he almost got implicated.

Throughout history, there have been cases of cheating that have been repeatedly banned. The main reason is that the imperial examination is difficult and under the temptation of achieving success overnight, there are always people who take risks in the hope of getting lucky.
