Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Thinking of this, Tang Yin announced the arrival of Xue Wenhui, the examiner of this year's examination, and called in other people in charge of the examination room.

Before the examination, Tang Yin specifically told Xue Wenhui to take care of Bai Zepei, but he also explained that he could not be partial, as long as he was not persecuted. So this time Xue Wenhui was called out for this matter, and he was a little surprised. When did the emperor pay so much attention to an exam candidate? Isn’t the state affairs busy enough?

The others were announced to the imperial study, but they didn't know what was going on. They were just a little nervous. After all, officials with lower positions rarely had the opportunity to speak at close range in front of the emperor.

"Who is responsible for collecting the files in this year's examination room?" Tang Yin asked.

Xue Wenhui opened his mouth and said: "The A-level exams are from Jinxi and Liu Dongcai, the B-level exams are from Jiao Zhe and Zhang Xuesong, and the C-level exams are from Deng Xinde and Jia Wuyun."

Tang Yin thought of the "A" mark on Bai Zepei's file, looked at Jin Xi and Liu Dongcai, and asked, "Did you two collect the files together, or did you work separately? Did you find anything unusual?"

Jin Xi and Liu Dongcai glanced at each other hurriedly, and Jin Xi said: "Everyone in the examination room collects papers on one side. I was in charge of the left side, and Liu Dongcai was in charge of the right side. I just don't know what the abnormality the emperor asked about refers to?"

"For example, some files are not neat and have ink stains," the emperor said.

Jin Xi and Liu Dongcai both recalled it carefully before answering respectively.

Tang Yin squinted his eyes and looked at the two of them. If someone immediately said yes or no without thinking, it would be suspicious. However, the two of them looked the same and thought about it carefully for a long time. It seemed that the problem did not lie with them.

Xue Wenhui understood what the emperor meant when he heard this. He carefully read through the test papers of the first fifty candidates a few days ago, and also noticed Jiang Yichun's test paper. It was indeed a pity. If the paper was not stained, the rest of the paper would not be stained. That sentence is still there, he shouldn't be ranked eighth anymore.

Does this mean that the emperor has done something wrong? Xue Wenhui's heart tightened. Although he was not responsible for grading, he was the examiner and was in charge of the examination. If such an omission occurred, he would be the one to blame.

The most terrible thing is that he didn't ask any questions before. He is really old and careless!

The emperor didn't speak, and everyone didn't dare to speak easily. For a while, the imperial study room was eerily quiet. Only the breathing of a few people could be heard. Some of them were even a little nervous. They didn't know what they did wrong. Could it be? He was punished by the emperor.

At this time, Wang Shun returned with the files, walked to the emperor, saluted, and said in a low voice: "The emperor really knows everything. It is indeed two kinds of ink."

A cold light flashed in the emperor's eyes. He hated the imperial examinations for malpractice and petty tricks. But now, under his nose, someone dared to frame a candidate like this. Do you really think that he, the emperor, is just a decoration?

"Master Zhang also said that the ink used in answering questions on this examination paper is dragon ink, which is extremely precious and good. It is said that the ink is made from hibiscus flower juice and perfume powder. If you smell it carefully, there is a faint fragrance, even if the ink is dry and solid. For months, you can still smell the aftertaste. The ink poured on it is just the commonly seen Hui ink, but it is sold in Wenyuan Pavilion in Beijing. Many candidates taking the joint examination go to Wenyuan Pavilion to buy the Four Treasures of the Study." Wang Shun also He preached in detail, and then said with a smile: "I'm afraid that all Bai Zepei's exam equipment was prepared by Mrs. Jiang. Mrs. Jiang is really generous and everything is the best."

Wang Shun secretly praised Bai Ruozhu in his heart. Fortunately, Bai Ruozhu prepared the best Longxiang ink for Bai Zepei. If he had prepared Hui ink from Wenyuan Pavilion like other candidates, he would have suffered a huge loss. .

Tang Yin sneered, "You should also take a look. This ink mark was seen by Master Zhang. It can't be wrong. Could it be that Bai Zepei used the best Longxiang ink on his answer sheet, and at the end he also inked an inkstone with Hui ink on his answer sheet? Dirty?"

Xue Wenhui and several examiners looked at the papers and all secretly screamed, "It's terrible." They only prayed in their hearts that the emperor would not take his anger out on them.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen has neglected his duty. Please give Wei Chen three days to investigate this matter." Xue Wenhui knelt down and said.

"Xue Aiqing, I have always trusted you. Don't let me down in this matter. No matter who is involved, they must be investigated clearly by me!" The emperor said with a cold face.

"I obey the decree."

After everyone retreated, Tang Yin rubbed his forehead tiredly. He could probably think of the person behind it. They really covered the sky with one hand in Beijing. Are they thinking about the change of dynasty in Danliang Kingdom?

"Reporting to the Emperor, Master Zhang also helped to read it and said that there was a way to restore the words covered by the ink, but the old slave thought that the test paper was evidence, so he did not let him restore it first." Wang Shun said.

The emperor waved his hand, "Why bother? Xuan Bai Zepei will find out just come and ask."

"This..." Wang Shun reminded cautiously: "With the suspension of the list and the announcement of Bai Zepei's entry into the palace, I'm afraid there will be some rumors outside."

The emperor took a deep breath and said, "Forget it, let's wait until we find out more about it."

…

At the same time, Bai Zepeizheng, Tang Feng, Lin Xufei, Li Bin and other friends were welcoming guests to a gathering, and they chatted about the list that had not yet been announced.

"According to usual habits, the list should be announced today. I don't know why there is no movement. Is there something wrong?" Li Bin guessed.

Tang Feng laughed, but his expression was very calm, "There is no guarantee that someone has committed fraud. The higher-ups are investigating, so let's not ask any more questions."

Everyone nodded, and the conversation turned to the final policy. Tang Feng looked at Bai Zepei and asked, "What did Brother Bai write at the end of his policy? Is it something shocking?"

Bai Zepei took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Fortunately, it's already very tactful."

Tang Feng saw that he didn't want to say more, so he smiled and changed the subject. However, no one expected that Bai Zepei's unwanted words had been tampered with, and the emperor has not seen it yet.

…

In the Western Region, Bai Ruozhu and the others didn't know that Bai Zepei had been plotted. Otherwise, with Bai Ruozhu's temperament, he would have caused a huge disturbance. She was still working hard to plant medicine at this moment. It was in vain that she had never gone to the ground in Houshan Village. Now they have to farm by themselves, but what is exciting is that they have only lived in the palace for two days, and the medicinal materials in the space have already grown into plants. This means that the growth rate of plants in the space is many times that of the outside. Days are almost equal to several months.

So Bai Ruozhu was happy and planted a lot of medicinal materials. When the medicinal materials were planted, she took a nice hot spring bath, then came out of the space and asked Jian Qi to go out to work with her.

Jiang Yichun has been discussing some cooperation matters with the monarch in the past two days, and they have also secretly contacted the second elder.

Now that Bai Ruozhu was free, she wanted to leave the palace to see how Nero was handling the business, so that she could give the silk she brought to the businessman Nero mentioned last time.
