Cheng Enwen has always been well-informed, and he was the first to know about the posting of the test papers.
But at this moment, his face was pale and he looked a little dazed. He even suspected that it was because he wanted Yue Lingfeng to become the number one scholar so much that he had such an outrageous hallucination.
Cheng Enwen stared and read it again from beginning to end, his lips trembling.
He saw with his own eyes Yue Lingfengmo write down a policy paper that was exactly the same as the one on the list.
I had already memorized the top-ranked essay before the results were announced...
What does this mean?
Anyone can figure it out.
Cheng Enwen couldn't help but take two steps back. In a flash, he didn't care about the proper manners of a scholar, turned around and ran away.
When he arrived at Sancong Hutong, he was breathing heavily, but slammed the door.
"Brother Yue! Brother Yue! Open the door! Open the door quickly! I know you are at home! Open the door quickly!"
Yue Lingfeng heard Cheng Enwen's rapid howling outside the door, as if someone was chasing him. It was so miserable that he couldn't help but quicken his pace and open the door.
"Brother Cheng, why are you like this..."
"Don't be like this, come with me!"
Then, without saying a word, he pulled Yue Lingfeng up and ran with him.
Yue Lingfeng's body, which had not yet recovered, could not withstand such intense running. His throat was already itchy, and when he ran, it felt like his throat was cut by a knife and he kept coughing.
"Brother Cheng! Wait a moment... let me say something..."
"Don't say a word. I'm afraid you'll faint from shock. I don't have the energy to drag you over there. Go and see for yourself. You'll understand once you see it."
Yue Lingfeng: ...
Seeing that Yue Lingfeng's face looked bad, Cheng Enwen thought that he must have not recovered from his illness. He also knew that it would be difficult for him to run wildly.
So Cheng Enwen gritted his teeth, bent over, carried Yue Lingfeng on his back, and then ran away staggeringly.
Yue Lingfeng: ...
He was completely confused: "Brother Cheng, are there enemies chasing you?"
Cheng Enwen panted, "Don't talk to me. I'm trying to concentrate my energy. If the energy is lost, we'll both fall to the ground."
Yue Lingfeng was silent for a moment. He was still not used to being carried like this. He sighed, "Put me down. Since you are not chasing me, there is no need to be so anxious..."
"Anxious! Very anxious!"
Yue Lingfeng: ...
When Cheng Enwen carried Yue Lingfeng to the Ministry of Rites, more and more candidates gathered around. They must have heard the news and came to see the topping work.
He put Yue Lingfeng down, propped himself up on his knees, and panted like a cow, with a whistle sound in his wheezing.
Yue Lingfeng tried to calm him down in a complicated way. He mentioned letting him go countless times during the process, but all of them fell on deaf ears.
He looked around at the huge crowd. The announcement of the results had long passed, so why were there still so many candidates gathered at the entrance of the Ministry of Rites?
At this time, he heard someone not far away exclaiming: "It is worthy of being the top-ranked policy paper. We are convinced!"
Yue Lingfeng was stunned. The top policy paper?
He immediately understood why the crowd had gathered. Seeing Cheng Enwen panting, he felt helpless: "Brother Cheng, although I want to see the top work, there is no need to be so anxious. Since it has been posted, you can see it anytime..."
Cheng Enwen panted and waved his hands frantically: "No... go and see... you will know after you see it..."
When Yue Lingfeng heard this, a hint of suspicion appeared in his eyes. He moved a little closer, but was pushed forward by the people behind him.
When Yue Lingfeng saw the policy paper posted by the Ministry of Rites, his pupils shrank slightly and his whole body froze.
There was disbelief in his eyes.
My head was buzzing as if it was hit by a bell.
"This is... my test paper..." Yue Lingfeng muttered absentmindedly, "My test paper is at the top of the list... but it's not mine?"
At this time, someone nearby heard what he said and glanced at him: "Are you the top of the list, Li Wenqing?"
"I am not."
"You are not Li Wenqing. What do you mean this is your test paper? This is ridiculous. I am afraid you have been stimulated and started to have delusions, right?"
Yue Lingfeng frowned and ignored the man, but looked at the policy paper again.
He was already quite sure that his test paper had been switched.
It was exchanged with that Li Wenqing.
In this spring's imperial examination, cheating in the imperial examination actually occurred!
The person who was able to swap the test papers without anyone noticing must be an official in charge of the imperial examination, and of a high rank.
This is a serious crime! The person will be beheaded, the whole family will be exiled, and it is a serious crime that will implicate many people!
Yue Lingfeng figured it out in a few moments, and thought to himself that since there were many candidates at the entrance of the Ministry of Rites at this time, it was a good time for him to tell the truth and spread the news of cheating in the imperial examination.
All candidates are entitled to know that the Spring Examination, which they thought was fair and just, has turned into a playground for certain people to abuse their power and commit fraud.
Just as Yue Lingfeng was about to speak, someone patted his shoulder.
A low, hoarse voice whispered in his ear, "Master Yue, my master wants to see you."
Yue Lingfeng's heart tightened, and his mind became extremely clear.
"Who is your master?"
The man was dressed in plain cloth. "There are too many people here, please move aside, Mr. Yue."
Yue Lingfeng was unmoved: "Move? You changed my test paper and you think I'm a fool?"
"Mr. Yue, it's okay if you don't want to move, but your good friend will disappear from this world."
Yue Lingfeng was startled when he heard this, and the next second he immediately turned his head to look at the place where Cheng Enwen had originally stayed, but there was no figure there.
The man asked again: "Move?"
Yue Lingfeng clenched his fists: "Your master is really a good official."
The man said nothing, held Yue Lingfeng's shoulders and pushed him forward.
To others, this scene was just a scene of a pair of good friends.
The man brought Yue Lingfeng to a yard and pushed him into the room.
There was a huge screen in the room, completely hiding the figure opposite.
