Chapter 408: Imperial Examination Cheating
Everyone suddenly fell silent and looked towards Wen Ruyue.
Wen Ruyue glanced at everyone with disdain: "You are scholars, yet you are so vulgar and have no manners at all."
Wen Yan was about to send the man away when Ying Zhilin grabbed his arm.
Ying Zhi Lin Chong shook her head.
Lu Tanzhang stood up and bowed to Wen Ruyue to apologize, "Madam, we were excited because our friend passed the imperial examination, so we spoke a little loudly.
We're sorry to bother you, and we'll be more careful next time."
Wen Ruyue followed Lu Tanzhang's pointing and looked at Ying Zhilin.
Her expression suddenly changed.
But soon, his expression turned speechless and even funny: "You don't mean to say that Ying Zhilin is the champion this time, do you?"
Wen Ruyue suddenly burst into laughter.
"This is hilarious! How could Ying Zhilin possibly be the champion?"
In his previous life, Ying Zhilin couldn't even pass the imperial examination, so how could he possibly pass the imperial examination and become the top scorer?
The last time he took the imperial examination, it was Wen Yan who helped him with his connections.
He should have failed this imperial examination.
Not to mention winning the first place in the exam, he shouldn't even have passed the imperial examination.
Their quarrel immediately attracted a lot of onlookers.
Everyone wants to catch a glimpse of the leader’s elegance.
"That's right," Lu Tanzhang said, "It's clearly written on the list."
Wen Ruyue suddenly burst into laughter: "Ying Zhilin is just a farmer's son who can't even get enough to eat. How could he possibly pass the exam and become the top scorer?
My husband is the champion of this meeting."
Qi Yunzhou did not even take part in the imperial examination.
The champion this time will only be Huo Yaoxing, it is almost like Yingzhi Lin is reincarnated!
Lu Tanzhang scratched his head and looked at Ying Zhilin in confusion: "Junior Brother, what's going on? Isn't your wife Wen Yan? When did she become her?!"
Wen Ruyue was immediately annoyed: "Stop insulting me here! My husband is the son of Marquis Jinping. How could he be a peasant like him?"
Wen Ruyue glared at Ying Zhilin angrily: "Ying Zhilin, have you had enough of this?
Our engagement has been settled long ago, and now you still want to tie me down with that false engagement!
You're disgusting! "
After she finished speaking, she turned to look at the other students and said, "I'm kindly reminding you all that Ying Zhilin's talent is simply not enough to get the top spot in the exam. Don't be fooled by him."
Lu Tanzhang finally understood.
Wen Ruyue is always the troublemaker.
His face darkened and he looked at Wen Ruyue: "Why do you say that my junior brother can't pass the exam? Where is your proof?"
"Basis?" Wen Ruyue sneered, "Of course I have it."
Wen Ruyue pointed at Ying Zhilin and said, "He observed mourning for five years and only ended it last year. He has only been studying again for half a year. It's okay that he passed the imperial examination last autumn, but that was a blind cat catching a dead mouse. How could he have passed the imperial examination and become a Jinshi?
Ask yourself, if it were you, would this be possible?"
The students looked at each other in confusion.
There are people who have taken the exam twice, but they are either from wealthy families or extremely talented.
Most scholars do not take part in the imperial examination immediately after passing the imperial examination.
First, the journey is long and the cost is huge.
Second, those who are not confident in their studies will choose to study hard for another three years before taking the imperial examination.
Even if Ying Zhilin had a talent for studying, it was really incredible that he won two prizes in one year.
"After all, they are childhood sweethearts, so they know some inside information."
Many people looked skeptical.
Lu Tanzhang immediately retorted, “Just because others can’t do it doesn’t mean Zhilin can’t do it.
During the period of mourning, my junior brother could not attend classes at the academy, but he never stopped learning. He borrowed almost all of the tens of thousands of books in our three library buildings.
Wen Ruyue snorted disdainfully, "Stop quibbling here. He had to copy books to earn money to support his siblings, and he also had to do farm work at home. He managed to read two thousand books a year, five or six a day. And he didn't actually read the books he borrowed, so aren't you afraid of blowing your own horn?"
Lu Tanzhang suddenly felt powerless, as if he was playing the lute to a cow.
"Believe it or not, the ranking is clearly written on the list." He was too lazy to explain to Wen Ruyue and planned to end this farce.
Unexpectedly, there were shouts from downstairs: "Did you see that? The champion of this meeting is called Ying Zhilin."
"Who is this person? I've never heard of his name before."
"You candidates from other places don't know this, but he's from the capital, the top scorer in last year's autumn exam. He's on the second floor right now."
"He won first place in the exam last year and second place in the exam this year. This person is no ordinary person!"
The discussions downstairs reached upstairs.
The students looked at each other in shock.
It’s actually true!
It should be known that Lin is really the champion.
Lu Tanzhang looked at Wen Ruyue: "Now, you should believe it!"
Wen Ruyue lost control and loudly retorted, "Impossible! None of this is true.
Ying Zhilin is just a peasant with no real talent or knowledge. In his previous life, he couldn't even pass the imperial examination, so how could he possibly pass the imperial examination and become the top scorer!
The first place should belong to Huo Yaoxing!"
Wen Ruyue suddenly seemed to go mad. She rushed to the stairs and shouted downstairs, "You are all Ying Zhilin's accomplices. There is no way he can pass the exam. It's impossible!"
She stared with her eyes wide open, her eyes bloodshot.
She scratched her head and racked her brains to prove that Ying Zhilin was not Huiyuan.
Suddenly, an idea came to her mind, and she pointed at Ying Zhilin and said, "He cheated!
He must have cheated in the imperial examination. Otherwise, with his talent, it would be impossible for him to get the top scorer."
"He was only fifteen or sixteen when he took the exam for the scholar degree, and he passed it on his first try.
He cheated then.
I never thought that after all these years, not only have you not repented, but you've become even more ruthless and even dared to tamper with the imperial examination!"
Anyway, he took the exam for the scholar six or seven years ago, and there is no trace of him if we want to trace him now.
As long as this rumor gets out, Lin's reputation will most likely be revoked.
Huiyuan will be returned to its original owner, Huo Yaoxing.
Wen Ruyue pointed at Wen Yan and said, "And you! You used the Meng family's connections to arrange for him to win the championship.
Wen Yan, you are so shameless.
The Meng family treated you so well, yet someone actually used them to bend the law for personal gain!"
She didn't feel the slightest bit guilty.
Anyway, in another year, the Meng family will fall, and some will be disabled or crippled.
She is now adding fuel to the fire and using the Meng family to beat Ying Zhilin to death, which is just to help the Meng family realize its final value.
Wen Ruyue looked at the Wen Yan couple with pride and provocation.
Wen Yan shook off Ying Zhilin's hand and strode up to Wen Ruyue.
Wen Ruyue raised her chin high: "Wen Yan, it's too late for you to beg for mercy now..."
Bang!
Bang!
Wen Yan slapped her twice across the face: "Wen Ruyue, you dare to frame my people, do you want to die?"
Wen Ruyue only felt a rumbling sound in her ears and a burning pain on her cheeks.
It took her a moment to realize that she had been slapped.
She was furious and screamed, "Wen Yan, you're crazy! How dare you hit me? I'm the wife of the prince!"
