Chapter 44 Hitting the wall

Zhang Zhi took a quick glance and said, "He might have deliberately written it in an ugly way, or he might have changed his hand to write it!"

"My brother wrote with his right hand." Zong Wenxiu said.

"Who knows if he is left-handed?"

“…”

Although Zhang Zhi kept talking nonsense, what he said was not unreasonable, and the dean was also a little shaken.

Xu Wan said, "Then please ask the dean to compare the handwriting of Jincheng's test paper with the second place."

Zong Jincheng heard this and said unhappily, "Why don't you compare yourself with the first place winner? How could I possibly rank second?"

Xu Wan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Because the No. 1 is very strong, stronger than you."

Zong Jincheng was not convinced: "Nonsense! I want to compete with the first place!"

"You want a hammer."

Zong Jincheng: “!!!”

Zong Wenxiu: “…”

At such a tense time, my brother is still in the mood to argue with his wife. He has a really good attitude.

The dean took out Zhang Zhi's test paper, and as soon as he opened it, he felt that his head was turned upside down by the lousy handwriting.

Every sentence in this test paper was written at the top of the page, and there was even a tendency for the words to spread outward. The dean had never seen such strange and ugly handwriting in all his years of running the academy.

But at the same time, this word "ugly" is written in the same handwriting as what Zong Jincheng had just written!

"This..." The dean quickly realized the problem and said angrily, "Someone, go and call the teacher who is reading the book over to me!"

Zhang Zhi suddenly became nervous, with cold sweat breaking out on his face.

Zong Jincheng also stretched his head to find out the result. The second place test paper was definitely not his!

That woman looked down on him. If it were him, he would definitely check the test paper of the first place student first!

Seeing this, Xu Wan knew that the truth had been revealed and was just waiting for the dean's decision.

While waiting, the dean gave Zhang Zhi another chance and asked him to write a sentence on the spot in preparation for handwriting comparison.

Zhang Zhi's hands were shaking and he deliberately wrote ugly words.

The dean said with a dark face, "If you don't cooperate, I have plenty of ways to verify it. I still have the test papers from last year saved here. I can find the problem by comparing them with your handwriting. It will only take some time!"

Zhang Zhi's defenses collapsed and he was in a panic.

The next period of time was like waiting for the verdict. After comparing the handwriting on the annual examination papers, it was found that the paper that replaced Zong Jincheng's score was indeed in Zhang Zhi's handwriting.

The examiner was so frightened by the evidence that he kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, Dean. I was blinded by money. Zhang Zhi secretly gave me two taels of silver yesterday. I thought that the test paper would not be shown to the students anyway, so..."

The dean was so angry that he kicked him and said, "Just what! Just for two taels of silver, you dare to attack Zong Jincheng. Do you know who he is? The century-old reputation of our Qingbo Academy will be destroyed in your hands!"

Zong Jincheng was so angry after hearing this.

"Two taels of silver? You bought my grades with two taels of silver?"

He looked at Zong Wenxiu in disbelief, his big eyes filled with anger of being insulted!

Two taels of silver was the price for a goose dish for Zong Jincheng.

Swallowed his achievements.

It's not very harmful, but it's extremely insulting!

Seeing that the brat was about to go berserk, Xu Wan asked Zong Wenxiu to hold him down to prevent him from causing any trouble.

Zong Wenxiu was in terribly pain.

His little brother was so strong that he could hardly hold it back!

The dean was making a verdict: "The teacher changed the students' test papers, affecting the fairness of the monthly exam. From now on, Qingbo Academy will no longer employ this person!"

"Zhang Zhi, you bribed the teacher to falsify and steal other people's grades. From now on, you will be expelled from Qingbo Academy!"

The teacher begged frantically, "Dean! Please spare me. This is my first time accepting bribes. I will change!"

Zhang Zhi quickly followed suit and said, "Dean! This is my first time making a mistake. I am still young and don't know the severity of the mistake. You have to give me another chance!"

The dean said angrily, "Get out of the academy!"

The two instigators were quickly dragged away. There was also Wu Shusen who was not punished because he did not participate in the cheating. However, he and Zhang Zhi were also panicked and at a loss.

The dean said harshly, "You should pack up and get out of here too."

Wu Shusen was stunned for a moment: "No, Dean, I didn't participate! I didn't switch his test paper! I didn't make any mistakes!!"

The dean said, "You and Zhang Zhi assisted the tyrant in his evil deeds and kept silent about it. With such a character, I, the Qingbo Academy, cannot afford to accept you! Drag you away!"

Wu Shusen was taken away howling.

On the other hand, the dean ordered the teacher to rewrite the monthly exam list. This time, Zong Jincheng watched his ranking go up with envy.

Ran to the top of the list, first row, A.

Second place.

Zong Jincheng was still not satisfied: "I want to check the first place's test paper!"

The dean asked, "Do you have a grudge against the number one?"

"I don't know him!" Zong Jincheng said confidently, "But he can't possibly do better than me!"

Dean: “…”

Although you are strong, don't be too confident.

He thought about his words and said tactfully, "Qin Ye always gets first place in the exams. His grades can't be fake."

"Then I don't care, I'm going to check his test paper!"

The dean sighed and asked someone to find Qin Ye's paper. After thinking about it, he handed it to Xu Wan first.

Xu Wan took it and took a look.

In sharp contrast to the ugly handwriting of the little devil, Qin Ye's handwriting was as beautiful as printed text, and there was not a single wrong spelling on the full test paper.

Looking at his dictation and translation, his answers were very good.

Perfect.

It stands to reason that the little devil could have done well in the exam by rote memorization, but the questions given by Qingbo Academy were not based on the original questions in the book. The last big question asked the students to write down the similarities and differences based on their understanding of the gist of several books.

It is difficult to answer perfectly if you just rely on rote memorization.

Therefore, Qin Ye performed better than Zong Jincheng in the exam, and he deserved it.

Xu Wan handed the test paper to the little devil. He took it and looked at it, his brows instantly wrinkled.

Although the little devil is usually very confident, he does have basic aesthetic sense and can naturally see the gap between himself and the other party.

but……

"Is this written by a real person? It can't be printed, right?"

The handwriting of the test-taker is too similar to the handwriting on the test paper; it doesn't look like it was written by a real person at all.

Zong Wenxiu also took a look at it. It did not look like it was written by a real person. However, if it was a fake, it would be fine. But if it was a real person's handwriting, then Qin Ye would be too scary.

Xu Wan smiled and said, "Dean, it seems that my child is not convinced. Can you invite this student named Qin Ye to come over for a discussion? Jin Cheng wants to see the style of the first place."

In fact, she had ordered people to check Qin Ye's background these two days. The child's father was a fifth-rank official and the top scorer in the imperial examination six years ago.

Qin Ye was influenced by the family atmosphere since he was a child. He started to learn to read and write with his father at an early age. He learned early and worked hard, so he stood out among the children of the same age.

This time, the little devil has finally hit a wall.
