Chapter 527: The Spring Examination Begins
Wei Qing comforted her and let her go to sleep. Seeing that she was asleep, he quietly left the room and went to the residence of the two children.
Xu Jue and Wei Ziang lived in the same courtyard, in two adjacent rooms.
Wei Qing saw that the lights in both rooms were off.
He listened at the door for a while, and when he thought that both of them were asleep, he left with peace of mind.
…
The next day.
On the day of the court meeting, Wei Qing got up early and went to court.
Not long after Wei Qing got up, Tang Li also got up.
She was still worried and planned to send her two children to the examination hall.
As Xu Jue and Wei Ziang reached the door, they were stopped.
"Mom." Wei Ziang called out.
"Have you got everything?" Tang Li asked.
"Here you go. Ziang and I checked it twice." Xu Jue said.
She has always been confident in what these two children do.
"Let's go, mother will take you there." Tang Li said.
Both boys smiled sweetly, "Okay."
The mother and her two children got into the carriage.
When approaching the examination room, Tang Li lifted the curtain and looked out, and saw many students in long robes walking towards the entrance of the examination room.
The expressions on everyone's faces were roughly the same, with tension mixed with anticipation.
After ten years of hard study, whether you can change your destiny and make your efforts rewarded depends on this one move.
The carriage stopped.
Xu Jue got off the carriage first and extended his hand towards Tang Li.
"Mom, be careful." Wei Ziang protected her from behind.
Tang Li held the boy's strong hand and was helped out of the carriage.
Tangli is actually not that delicate.
She has magical powers and her physical fitness is much stronger than that of ordinary people. Apart from sometimes feeling like vomiting and having a poor appetite, there are no other changes and she is in good health.
However, it actually feels good to be protected by children.
The two little kids from the past have grown up and become strong men.
I will protect my mother.
After getting off the carriage, the three of them walked towards the entrance of the examination room.
There was a long queue at the entrance of the examination room, ready to enter.
After taking two steps, someone suddenly bumped into Xu Jue and Wei Ziang.
The man was extremely fast, and Xu Jue and Wei Ziang couldn't avoid him and were hit.
The two men passed between the two of them and disappeared in an instant.
Xu Jue and Wei Ziang were knocked around and turned around, looking at the man with slightly frowned brows.
"Are you okay?" Xu Jue looked at Wei Ziang and asked worriedly.
"It's okay." Wei Ziang said.
It hurts a little, but it passes quickly.
That person just bumped into them and didn't even apologize. That was very rude.
The two young men turned their heads and saw that Tang Li had a very serious expression and a frown on his face.
"Mother..." Wei Ziang called out.
"Xu Jue, Zi'ang, follow me." Tang Li said.
Tang Li led the two teenagers out of the crowd and into a secluded alley.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Wei Ziang asked a little uneasy.
Tang Li recalled what had just happened. She walked in with her two children and saw the man bumping into her and seemed to stuff something into Ziang's arms.
If it was a mess, it would be fine, but if...
"Zi'ang, look in your arms, what's in it? It seems like that person just put something in your arms." Tang Li said.
Wei Ziang immediately reached into his arms and felt around for a while, but didn't feel anything.
"Zi'ang, take off your clothes." Xu Jue said with a serious expression.
During the Spring Examination, candidates had to strip and be searched. If anything related to cheating was found, their qualification to take the examination would be permanently revoked.
The consequences are too serious.
Wei Ziang also knew the seriousness of the matter and quickly took off his clothes.
Tangli turned around and walked to the entrance of the alley to prevent others from coming.
The body is undressed with rustling sounds.
"This thing..." Xu Jue found something and his expression suddenly changed.
It was a piece of paper. When he opened it, he saw the copied article on it.
If you hadn't noticed and had brought this note into the examination room, you would have been searched.
Once this is discovered...
That's it!
Not being able to take part in the imperial examinations forever and having one's previous status as a juren also revoked is a fatal blow to scholars!
Xu Jue and Wei Ziang checked all the clothes together very carefully. Only after making sure that there was nothing else on them did Wei Ziang put on the clothes.
"Xu Jue, check your body too." Wei Ziang said.
Xu Jue nodded and took off his clothes.
When I searched, I actually found a note!
"To harm us in this way is despicable!" Wei Ziang said angrily.
Only after Xu Jue put on his clothes did Tang Li turn around.
She took the two notes with a cold face and put them away.
This matter must not be easily revealed!
Anyone who wants to harm Xu Jue and Ziang must be punished!
"Xu Jue, Zi'ang, study hard for the exam first," Tang Li said. "Leave the rest to mother, okay?"
Tangli's expression was very gentle, and his eyes were soothing.
What Tangli fears most now is that this incident will affect the exams of the two children.
Xu Jue and Wei Ziang looked at her and nodded.
"Mom, we won't be affected." Wei Ziang said.
"Don't be angry, wait for our good news." Xu Jue said.
Tangli nodded.
"Hurry up and line up to enter, and be careful." Tang Li said.
Wei Ziang and Xu Jue walked towards the team.
The line is much shorter than before.
Wei Ziang and Xu Jue became much more vigilant and kept their distance from the people coming and going around them.
After waiting in line for about a quarter of an hour, Wei Ziang and Xu Jue went in.
Tangli didn't go in, but watched from outside.
After a while, a roar was suddenly heard.
"I didn't cheat!"
"I'm innocent!"
"Sir, please, give me another chance! I didn't cheat!"
A young student in a long robe was thrown out.
"There's a note hidden inside the tip of your pen. That pen isn't yours?"
"That pen... that pen is mine... please believe me..."
The young student cried and begged, his tears and snot streaming down, and his voice was mournful.
"It's yours, right? You cheated in the imperial examination, and your qualification will be revoked. You will not be allowed to take the imperial examination again!"
However, the door of the examination room was still closed without mercy.
Next, several more cheaters were brought out, and their cheating methods were all kinds of strange.
During every Spring Examination, many people were caught cheating.
However, there are still people who take risks and hope for luck.
If I hadn't discovered the notes on Zi'ang and Xu Jue in time, I would have ended up like these people...
Tangli was still frightened.
Tangli's eyes were cold.
She will never let go of the person who wants to frame Ziang and Xu Jue!
The bell rang and the exam began.
Tang Li turned around and got on the carriage, intending to go to the Dali Temple.
On the way there, I suddenly saw a man standing by the river.
He was a scholar in a long robe, his face filled with despair. Tang Li looked familiar; he seemed to be one of the students caught cheating.
"I didn't cheat! The pen is mine, but the note isn't!"
"Why don't you believe me? Why?!"
"I am willing to prove my innocence with my own body!"
After the scholar in the long robe finished speaking, he jumped into the river.
