"Everyone please sit down." Fu Hua looked at Gao Miao and said straight to the point, "Mr. Gao, I am the chief examiner and one of the examiners. I have read your essay carefully and it is very well written.

At that time, the four of us discussed it together for a long time.

I was particularly impressed by the well-written article. I remember that you should be the top candidate this time.

I was eating in the lobby just now, and I seemed to hear you say that your name was not on the list?"

After these words were spoken, everyone in the hall changed their expressions.

Gao Zhi snorted, "I said that with your talent, it is impossible for you to fail the exam. According to what Master Fu said, you should be the first in the case, so why don't you even have your name?"

After Gao Zhi asked this question, he looked straight at Lord Fu.

"Master Fu, there is something fishy about this matter. Could you please..."

"My dear benefactor, I will investigate this matter thoroughly. This is not because you are my benefactor, but because I will not allow any fraud to occur.

Otherwise, I would have failed the Emperor's grace, betrayed His Majesty's trust in me, and even more so, let down all the students in the world."

If poor students want to change their fate in this life, the only way is to take the imperial examination. But if this road is full of darkness, then where is the future for talented scholars?

When something like this happens, it extinguishes the light in the hearts of students all over the world.

Fu Hua didn't even drink a sip of tea and quickly went to the yamen.

…

After Fu Hua left, Gao Miao looked at Xie and Gao Zhi and asked, "Mother, when did you and Jiaojiao get to know Master Fu?"

Xie shook her head, "I don't know him."

There was disbelief in everyone's eyes.

Xie looked at everyone and lowered her voice, "I really don't know him."

How could she say that Fu Hua was tricked that night and stumbled out of the alley, knocking her to the ground and pressing on her?

But she said she didn't know him, which was obviously untenable.

Everyone could see it just now.

Xie looked at Gao Zhi.

Gao Zhi: “It was the day before your exam when my mother and I went to the river to watch the lanterns.

Master Fu was not feeling well, so I passed by. After I was done with him, I charged him ten taels of silver for his consultation."

Gao Zhi changed the subject, "Gao Miao, Master Fu said he would investigate this matter, so are we just going to do nothing?"

Gao Miao was silent for a while, "There's nothing we can do! Master Fu is the chief examiner this time. If he says he will investigate, then he will definitely give us a result."

"Do you believe him?" Gao Zhi asked.

Gao Miao nodded.

Gao Zhi felt much more at ease when he saw this.

Gao Miao believes in Fu Hua, so he must know this man's character.

"The headmaster is here." The waiter outside led the headmaster of Yuanshan Academy in.

The headmaster had a cold and angry face.

Gao Miao and his group saluted to the headmaster.

The headmaster looked at the people in the hall and asked directly: "Gao Miao, let's find a place where we can talk alone."

Gao Miao invited the headmaster to his room.

The door was closed and the windows were shut.

"Master, have some tea."

"..." The headmaster looked at Gao Miao and said, "Aren't you in a hurry? With your level, even if you can't get the first place, you must be in the top three. It's impossible that you can't even be in the top ten.

Tell me, did you perform poorly in the exam or were you sick?

Tell me in detail what articles you have written. I know you have a good memory and you can definitely recite the articles you have written word for word.

Now, recite it to me."

The headmaster came here today specially to wait for the results of the list, and he even bought a congratulatory gift for Gao Miao.

I didn’t expect the result to be like that.

After getting the result, he came here immediately.

He didn't believe the result.

He wanted to find out the truth about this matter first, and then go find Fu Hua and the other four.

We all knew each other before. Although he has retired and left the Imperial College, there is still some affection between us. If we make some concessions, we should be able to read Gao Miao's articles.

Gao Miao paid his respects to the abbot.

"Master, I'm sorry! I made you worry. Master Fu Hua just left. He said he read my article and remembered it deeply.

He also said that I was originally at the top of the list, but the results on the posted list were different.

After this result, he has returned to the government office to investigate.

He asked the students to wait for news here.”

"Fu Hua?" The headmaster was surprised. "Do you know him?"

Gao Miao shook his head. "I only found out that he was the chief examiner during the exam. He was eating outside just now. When he heard our doubts about the list, he came in to chat for a few words and then left in a hurry."

Hearing this, the headmaster nodded, feeling relieved.

Fu Hua knew about this and he said he would investigate it and he would get to the bottom of it.

He said Gao Miao's articles were good, and Gao Miao was originally at the top of the list, so that must be the case.

“Fu Hua is one of the emperor’s most valued ministers, he is the censor.

I didn't expect that the emperor would send him here to be the chief officer this time, but fortunately he came.

He is a very impartial person and hates cheating. It is obvious that someone changed the list, and they knew that he would not look at the list, knowing that they would leave in the afternoon. "

The headmaster looked at Gao Miao and asked, "Who do you think did this?"

Gao Miao shook his head: "I don't know! I have been learning from my master all these years, rarely go out, and have no enemies.

If the other party just wants a spot, he wouldn't buy the top spot.

It shouldn't be made so obvious.

Even if he wants to be at the top of the list, he should leave a place for me.

Now it's like this... I'm afraid it's not that someone wants to buy a spot, but they don't want me to pass."

In fact, there is no need to guess about this matter. Gao Miao can directly identify those people who did it.

After those people went to the capital, they did not really change their ways.

In the first few years, I really lived a good life and forgot about this side.

But later on, the one who hadn’t given birth to a son, gradually became unstable.

Over the years, they have sent spies over here to investigate.

It doesn't matter if you pass the scholar exam, but if you pass the ju exam, you have to go to the capital and be eligible to take part in the imperial examination.

That person will definitely not be able to sit still.

When the headmaster heard what Gao Miao said, he had some guesses in his mind. He widened his eyes in disbelief.

"Shouldn't it be?"

Gao Miao laughed at himself and said, "Master, you should know something about the methods used by the wealthy families in Beijing.

If I were a little more mediocre, she would definitely not have any ideas, but if I pass the exam this time, what do you think will happen in the future?

As far as I know, that one has not given birth to a son yet, only three daughters."

“!!!” After hearing this, the headmaster had nothing to understand.

Yes!

There is motivation there to do this.

Thinking that the chief examiner this time was Fu Hua, the dean secretly rejoiced.

Fortunately it was this person!

Otherwise, no one would be willing to investigate, and Gao Miao, a scholar, would not have asked the examiner to hand over the test paper.

"Gao Miao, if you can get through this safely, you will definitely have a bright future in the future."

…

At the yamen, Fu Hua walked into the hall, and several people who were chatting animatedly inside all looked at him.

Why is this person so cold?
