Chapter 204: Die Together
Then he picked up a few fallen leaves blown down by the northwest wind from under his feet, smeared a lot of ink stains on the paper ball, and while the ink stains were not dry, he stuck them on the slightly dry fallen leaves.
After finishing it, Zhang Zhenghao looked at it carefully.
The leaves are curled up and fall to the ground like this. If you don't look carefully, you will just think that the fallen leaves are curled up like this because they are dried by the wind.
Zhang Zhenghao was very satisfied. He weighed the paper ball, and tried the feel of it. Finally, when he saw that the patrolling officials and yamen runners were not paying attention, he threw the paper ball wrapped in leaves in his hand to Song Jingyun!
Cheating in the exam will be severely punished.
According to current laws, this exam will be invalid, and the candidate will not be allowed to take part in the next two autumn exams. He will also be caned 50 times and be publicly punished.
In this way, basically ten years were wasted.
Zhang Zhenghao was naturally worried about being discovered and caught, but he was more worried that someone else would be on the list.
Since I can't make any progress in my studies anyway, I'd rather let everyone suffer, and die together, and have a good time!
First of all, there is the person who looks the most promising and is still writing furiously!
Zhang Zhenghao was angry and threw the ball with great force.
According to his rough estimation, this ball of leaf paper could not only reach Song Jingyun, but also fly past him and directly to the open space in the cell behind him. By then, Song Jingyun would be unable to defend himself and could only watch helplessly as he was dragged down, with no chance of recovery within ten years.
Zhang Zhenghao watched the leaf paper ball flying up, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth with pride.
Suddenly, wind blew from the sky, and even the tall trees in the tribute hall swayed in the wind, the branches and leaves made rustling sounds, and even the dust on the ground was blown up.
Zhang Zhenghao was almost blinded, so he quickly used his wide sleeves to block his eyes. He didn't let go of his sleeves until he felt the whistling wind in his ears stopped. Then he rubbed his eyes.
When I opened my eyes, which were blurry from the sand and felt a little sore, I saw that the four leaf paper balls left on the table had become five.
It looks like what was just thrown out was blown back by the wind.
Zhang Zhenghao, "..."
This person is so lucky that he just happened to catch the wind?
Damn it! Zhang Zhenghao threw another leaf paper ball out, and this time he was a little annoyed, so he threw two out.
The wind suddenly started to blow again. This time it was not as strong as before and not blinding. But this time Zhang Zhenghao watched helplessly as the ball of leaf paper stayed in the air for a moment before being blown back by the wind again.
The leaf paper ball fell back onto the table again, and because it was very light, it bounced a few times on the table.
Damn it, damn it, even God is against me!
Zhang Zhenghao's eyes were also red at this time, and he just threw all the five leaf paper balls on the table out.
There was no wind this time.
But the inspector who had already passed by suddenly turned back, and the paper balls thrown by Zhang Zhenghao hit the man's official uniform squarely.
After being hit a few times, the man was busy looking at what those things were.
When he found out that it was a ball of paper wrapped in leaves, he looked at Zhang Zhenghao with a sharp gaze, "How dare you cheat in the Imperial Examination Hall?"
“I…I…”
Being caught red-handed, Zhang Zhenghao almost stuttered and couldn't utter a word.
"Take the man away!" The inspector hurriedly called the yamen runner over, and the yamen runner lifted the table in front of Zhang Zhenghao and dragged the man out.
"I, I want to throw it to someone. That person promised me money to help him answer questions! Throw the cheat sheet over!" Zhang Zhenghao shouted with all his might.
"If you have accomplices, confess quickly and you may be given a lenient sentence!" The inspector was also furious at this time.
Cheating in the Autumn Examination is such a big deal that every year some people are publicly punished and exiled to a barren land. Even with such a serious penalty, there are still people who dare to take the risk. It is really despicable!
"It's him, it's him!" Zhang Zhenghao pointed at Song Jingyun.
"Him?" The inspector followed the direction Zhang Zhenghao pointed and saw Song Jingyun, who was still answering the questions seriously, as if no one was around.
The inspector walked closer and saw that Song Jingyun seemed unaware of his presence and was still concentrating on answering the questions. After taking a quick look at his answers, he went to look through some papers on Zhang Zhenghao's desk.
He didn't answer any of the questions properly, but his answers were very poor, and quite a few pieces of waste paper were crumpled into patterns.
The inspector understood and looked at Zhang Zhenghao, "You said that he gave you money to help him cheat, then tell me, what is the name of that person, how much money did he give you, when did he give it to you, was there anyone else around at the time, how did he know you, why did he ask you to help him cheat, and why did you agree to do it?"
"Since you said he asked you to help him cheat, then why did I see that he had almost finished answering the questions, but you hadn't answered a single one? If you wanted to help someone cheat, then tell me what you wrote for him and what you answered?"
There was a series of questions, each of which asked about the key points. Zhang Zhenghao was just talking nonsense to begin with, but he was also scared at this moment, so how could he answer so many questions? He could only stammer and could not utter a single sentence.
Seeing Zhang Zhenghao like this, the inspector also knew the reason. He just snorted coldly, "Asshole, you can't answer the questions yourself, but when you see others writing furiously, you want to frame them. Even if it means sacrificing your own future, you want to drag others into it?"
"You are so vicious! You are a scholar who has passed the imperial examination, but you have read so much that you have forgotten all about morality. Fortunately, you are so stupid. Otherwise, even if you passed the imperial examination and became an official, you would still be a disaster!"
"Take this man down and give him seventy strokes of the cane first! I will report this to the emperor later and have him exiled for twenty years. This will erase his title of scholar and let him know what it means to be powerful!"
"yes!"
Someone has already pulled Zhang Zhenghao, who is trembling with fear, pale and regretful at this moment, away.
In order to prevent him from shouting and disturbing other candidates, they stuffed his mouth with a rag and dragged him out of the examination hall to another courtyard to execute him.
Although they tried their best not to make a big deal out of the incident and not to disturb other candidates taking the exam, several students nearby saw the whole story and were deeply moved.
There are such vicious people in this world. They have no hope of passing the imperial examination themselves, but they don't let others have an easy life. They are really despicable!
And although his target is currently one person, who knows if he will attack indiscriminately and kill everyone around them.
Just thinking about it makes me feel scared! Fortunately, the inspector was very observant and saw clearly, and dealt with the person in time, so that the treacherous villain did not succeed.
But then again, this matter was originally about the young scholar sitting diagonally opposite Zhang Zhenghao, but now he seemed to be indifferent and was just concentrating on answering questions? At this time, Song Jingyun had just finished writing an answer sheet and was about to change the paper when he realized that everyone around him was looking at him.
Or surprised, or sighing, or feeling emotional.
Song Jingyun tilted his head.
Is there something wrong? But I didn't hear anything just now.
Speaking of which, why is the cell diagonally opposite empty? He remembered that it was occupied before.
Could it be that he suddenly felt unwell and couldn't pass the exam, so he left? The little son-in-law's protection BUFF is activated! (End of this chapter)
