Tearing up someone else's umbrella!

The first reaction of the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was: Oh no! The reputation of getting paid to do

things is ruined! The second reaction was: My bribery has been exposed!

His heart skipped a beat and he secretly groaned. But due to the location, he could not express his plea and confession to the emperor. He could only go home trembling after the emperor left.

Thinking that his end would be either being caned to death or being dismissed and exiled, after returning home, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel simply asked people to take out all the strong liquor in the wine cellar and poured it into his mouth by the whole jar.

He cried while drinking, and vomited on the ground while drinking.

Do you regret it? Regret! But what he regretted was not accepting bribes, but why he couldn't be more careful.

The next morning, after drinking all night, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel seemed to be pushed by the smell of alcohol, or his brain was damaged by the alcohol. He staggered to the court, which was even more sinful. The old emperor first held him guilty of his misbehavior before the emperor's death and asked him to suspend his post and reflect at home. A few days later, the Jinyiwei "happened" to find that he had accepted bribes. Once the matter was reported, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel suffered a disaster.

The old emperor sentenced him to be banned from being an official for life, and his descendants for three generations were also banned from being officials.

Because in addition to accepting bribes, he also abused his power and arranged all the county magistrates with the surname Sun and who had served for seven years into the Hanlin Academy.

As for the magistrate of Shangyuan County, he was naturally dismissed and investigated.

Xu Yanmiao didn't know all this.

He was in Gongyuan now and didn't have time to pay attention to others.

Examiners needed to enter Gongyuan one month in advance before the exam to make the final confirmation of the test questions - the test questions previously discussed with the Minister of War were only one of the options. Moreover, as the chief examiner, he couldn't just produce one test paper, he had to produce at least three to five test papers for the emperor to choose from.

Moreover, after the examiners entered Gongyuan, the door would be locked, and they were forbidden to leave Gongyuan before the results of the joint examination were announced.

I'm so busy, who cares whether others accept bribes or not!

A month later, Xu Yanmiao's expression was vague, his steps were light, and the whole person seemed like a ghost floating out of the ground.

"Finally, we can take a break..."

An inspector, Yu Shi, pinched Xu Yanmiao's arm: "Xu Lang! I'm sorry! His Majesty said that the chief examiner must also attend this inspection." He

had to pinch him, otherwise Xu Lang would fall asleep.

Xu Yanmiao was startled: "When will it start?"

The inspector Yu Shi said: "Fourth watch."

Xu Yanmiao checked the time.

[From one to three in the morning, the candidates will enter the examination room? ! ]

It's terrible.

Worse than the college entrance examination.

Xu Yanmiao pinched his arm and asked, "How long do I have left to sleep?"

Supervisor Yu Shi said, "Half a day."

Xu Yanmiao quickly asked someone to bring a recliner, and he lay crookedly on it, found a blank scroll to cover his face, and closed his eyes, "Call me when the time comes."

Half a day later, the candidates finished taking a bath in the big bathhouse and began to wait for roll call to enter.

Xu Yanmiao lit a soybean oil lamp in front of him, took the list, and began to call the roll -

"Liu Yuan, a scholar from Min County, Fujian..."

"Zhang Shu, a scholar from Yin County, Zhejiang..."

"Ma Chaobi, a scholar from Putian County, Fujian..."

After reading a name, after comparing it with the record in the household registration, a person entered the tribute courtyard.

"Dong Chongdai, a scholar from Hejin County, Shanxi..." Xu Yanmiao's voice stopped abruptly, and he looked up at the examiner. The examiner looked at him with some caution: "Excuse me, sir, is there any problem with my family background?"

There was no problem with my family background, but the problem was... Xu Yanmiao looked at the gossip in the system, waved his hand, and a soldier came forward. He said, "Take off his waistcoat."

The examinee's face immediately turned pale, and he looked like he couldn't bear the humiliation: "Bathing is to see if a person has belts on. Even the new clothes are prepared by the court. Do you still suspect that I cheated? This is too much! I won't take the exam anymore!"

After saying that, he turned around and left as if he was so angry, and tears fell uncontrollably.

The people around him were also moved by him, and they all glared at Xu Yanmiao.

Xu Yanmiao couldn't help showing an expression of not quite understanding.

Oh, it's not that he doesn't understand others feeling insulted, but... [I have pointed it out so clearly, why does he still think it's a coincidence and he can get away with it?]

Supervisor Yu Shi whispered in his heart: You are just feeling lucky, let alone this candidate, even the entire central court knows that you have a magic weapon, and there are many people who continue to embezzle and accept bribes.

Then he stepped forward and held down the candidate from Hejin County, Shanxi, forcibly took off his waistcoat, took a look, and said with a smile: "What is written on it?"

The candidate who had been unable to bear the humiliation before, now trembled like a sieve: "No, nothing..."

The other examinees widened their eyes, and some immediately reacted and said angrily: "I trust you! You actually cheated?!"

As he finished speaking, the supervisor opened the waistcoat, lifted it up and shook it in front of everyone, and the examinees were shocked.

The words on the waistcoat were not much bigger than an ant (3 or 4 millimeters). When the examinee from Hejin County, Shanxi, was questioned, it turned out that the words copied on it were the Four Books and Five Classics!

A total of more than 40,000 words! And all written with a brush!

If you have this ability, why not do something else, but come to cheat in the examination!

Supervisor Yu Shi waved his hand and said: "Take this cheater to the side and put him in the shackles, and make him stand in front of the tribute hall for a month!"

The cheating candidate was wearing shackles and standing in front of other tribute halls where people were coming and going. He was stared at by everyone he passed by, and his face was filled with shame. However, he had to raise his chin in the shackles and could not lower his head.

When he saw others whispering and talking, his tears could not stop falling, hitting the shackles.

If I had known earlier, I would not have bribed the police in charge of the search.

- This time I really cried.

Xu Yanmiao continued to call out the names from the book.

"Yanling County, Henan..."

"Leping County, Shanxi..."

"Yuyao County, Zhejiang..."

"Wang Li, a scholar from Jiangxia County, Huguang..." Xu Yanmiao paused again, raised his head, and said calmly: "Take off your shoes. I think your height is wrong. You must have worn insoles. The insoles need to be checked."

The candidate's face changed drastically.

The soldier was quick this time. He immediately stepped forward to hold the man down, took off his shoes, pulled out the insoles and tore them apart. Sure enough, the cheat sheet was hidden.

The other candidates who did not cheat looked at Xu Yanmiao as if they were looking at the God of Heaven.

"Amazing..."

"That's so accurate."

"Could this examiner be familiar with all the cheating methods so he can spot it at a glance?"

Many people were not in a hurry to enter the Gongyuan now. They stood by and watched the young examiner as if he was making ironclad predictions. Whoever he said to check would be found to have cheating belts.

Some hid their cheat sheets in the layers of their clothes, some hid cheat sheets in the hollow bottom of their inkstones, some had double-layered hats, and some hid them in their anuses - for the last one, no matter if it was the bystanders or the cheaters themselves, they couldn't figure out how the examiner could have spotted it.

It couldn't be that he looked at the other person's walking posture, right?

Anyway, the candidates who were watching swallowed their saliva again and again.

Some candidates' expressions changed slightly, and they secretly left the crowd.

But there are still some...

Xu Yanmiao raised his head again and looked at the candidate in front of him strangely: "You have learned chemistry well."

The other party was at a loss: "What?"

Xu Yanmiao stood up, tore off the candidate's clothes, and in the other party's panicked eyes, he moved closer to the inner layer of the clothes with a soybean oil lamp. Then, as the flames got closer, dense ink words were baked on the cloth that was originally empty.

The onlookers: "Wow--"

Supervisor Yu Shi said skillfully: "Go!"

Then it was the next one.

Xu Yanmiao: "...You are not brothers, are you?"

The candidate struggled desperately: "I don't know what you are talking about."

Xu Yanmiao grabbed the dust on the ground and sprinkled it on the inside of the candidate's clothes. Just like before, the clothes that were originally empty soon had words.

The examinees watching: "Wow!"

Supervisor Yu Shi: "Let's go!"

...

Gao He came over with his clothes and suitcase on his back, holding his big steamed bun with mixed sugar in his hand as dry food for the exam. When he arrived in front of the tribute hall, he was startled and shuddered: "What's going on!"

Why are there so many people standing there in shackles in front of the tribute hall?

As soon as he asked someone, the other party started gesturing with exaggerated body language: "That examiner! He's amazing! He can tell at a glance whether someone has cheat sheets or not, no matter what hat, shoes, inkstone! It doesn't matter where you hide it! Even if you make the handwriting invisible, it's useless. The examiner just pulled the person's clothes and sprinkled a handful of dust on it, and all the invisible words came out! He found out all these twenty people!"

Gao He clapped his hands, and a smile slowly emerged at the corners of his mouth: "Great! They should have been found out! We studied hard and engraved the Four Books and Five Classics into our hearts. How can we tell the difference? They were able to pass the exam by cheating! It is a blessing for poor students like us to have that examiner!"

The examinee with exaggerated body language touched the string on his finger and nodded seriously: "Yes. Twenty of them were caught. I heard that the number of candidates for this examination is nearly a thousand. It is impossible that only twenty people wanted to win without any effort. The rest of the people either haven't called their names yet, or they secretly threw away the cheat sheets. "

Gao He smiled and said: "In any case, this examination must be fair and just - when my name is called, I will definitely thank this examiner!"

Xu Yanmiao held the cup of strong tea in his hand and took a sip from time to time to refresh himself.

He didn't like drinking tea, but he had to drink it. His brows were tightly wrinkled.

He picked up the next booklet and opened it to the first page: "Gao He, a scholar from Lan County, Shaanxi..."

[Huh? I know him! ]

"Here, here!"

The man came over with sweat all over his head, stood in front of Xu Yanmiao, bowed deeply and slowly raised his body: "I am Gao He, a scholar from Lan County, Shaanxi..."

"You?!" The moment Gao He raised his head, he was so shocked that his temples bulged.

Xu Yanmiao? ? ?

Examination examiner? ? ?
