Daming: Is There Imperial Examination Fraud At The Beginning? I Cry As A Candidate During The Test

Chapter 20 Huaixi nobles are suspected of imperial examination fraud? Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Ye Xuan to take the imperial examination questions!

In the dark, damp prison filled with the thick smell of blood and rot, the screams were so shrill and heart-stopping that they sounded like a chorus.

"ah--!"

"ah----!!"

Li Zhong and other students were tied hand and foot and hung on a wooden frame. Their clothes were in tatters and their clothes were dyed red with bright red blood. Their breath was sluggish and their lips were dry, cracked and pale.

The Jin Yiwei, who carried an embroidered spring knife on his waist, was severely torturing the students who had cheated in the imperial examination.

Crunch——

Jin Yiwei's men opened the door for Mao Xiang.

Mao Xiang walked in expressionlessly and glanced at Li Zhong and other cheating students with an indifferent expression.

The Jin Yiwei who was torturing the student put down the bloody whip in his hand, stepped forward and shouted:

"grown ups!"

"Did you ask?"

Mao Xiang asked.

"Already asked."

Jin Yiwei reported.

Mao Xiang frowned slightly.

There are quite a few people involved, and the people involved are also very well-connected.

This is troublesome.

Mao Xiang hurriedly went to report to Zhu Yuanzhang, who made the decision.

Ministry of Rites.

A Jin Yiwei wearing a Feiyu suit and carrying an embroidered spring knife broke in.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites were shocked.

Ye Xuan was thoughtful.

"What are you going to do!"

Liu Sanwu stood up tremblingly. He looked at the group of imperial guards who suddenly broke in in shock. He thought that the imperial examination fraud case was over, but unexpectedly, it was not over yet.

"Jinyiwei is following orders!"

"No one is allowed to interfere!"

"Otherwise, they are all equally guilty!"

Jin Yiwei scolded loudly.

The head of the Jin Yiwei's eyes wandered, and finally settled on an official from the Ministry of Etiquette standing in the corner.

He pointed his finger at this person and ordered:

"catch him!"

The Jin Yiwei rushed out like flying, with his skirts flying and making a hunting sound.

The expression of the official from the Ministry of Etiquette suddenly changed, and he turned around to run away, knocking countless tables and chairs crooked along the way and sending papers flying.

"Clang!"

The crisp buzzing sound resounded throughout the space, and Xiuchun knives were unsheathed, emitting a sharp cold light, and pressed against the neck of the official of the Ministry of Etiquette.

"Come with us."

The leader Jin Yiwei's voice was as cold as ice.

The official of the Ministry of Rites was frightened by the evil spirit of the Jin Yiwei who surrounded him. He fell directly to the ground and was then dragged away by the Jin Yiwei.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites witnessed this scene.

Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes.

He remembered that the official from the Ministry of Rites who was taken away was also one of the examiners of this imperial examination.

"Okay, let's all do our own thing."

"Don't make any noise about what's going on here!"

Liu Sanwu came to his senses, waved his hand, sat down shakily and continued to handle official duties.

His expression was no longer as relaxed as before.

His face looked a little dazed.

Ye Xuan glanced at Liu Sanwu for a few times, then sat back down with everyone in shock and continued working.

After an examiner for this year's imperial examination was taken away, on the surface, everything calmed down.

Sunset on the west mountain.

The clouds in the sky seemed to be burned red by fire.

The tired birds flapped their wings and flew into the mountains in groups.

Ye Xuan was walking on a street full of ancient atmosphere, and he saw men and women in ancient costumes. Most of the men were wrapped in headscarves, wearing coiled robes, and shoes made of cattail. The women were wearing colorful and exquisitely tailored skirts. Hair in a bun.

People on the street were walking in a hurry, wanting to go home.

Vendors on both sides of the road kept selling.

"Sugar-coated haws!"

"Sugar-coated haws!!!"

"Give me a bunch."

Ye Xuan handed the banknotes to the vendor, and the vendor handed over the change and candied haws.

"Guest, please take it. This is for you, as well as your candied haws."

The merchant said.

Ye Xuan walked toward his mansion while eating candied haws.

What he was thinking about was the imperial examination fraud case.

In the imperial examination fraud case, they got rid of their guilt, but the Jinyiwei only arrested one examiner and let it go.

It seemed that he didn't want to continue the search.

The examiner didn't have a deep impression on him, but he knew that this person was timid and cowardly, and he would never dare to do anything like leaking the test questions and destroying the family and genocide.

There must be someone else behind him.

Who is it that is so bold?

There are currently two major forces in the court.

One is the Zhejiang East Group headed by Liu Ji.

One is the group of Huaixi nobles who conquered the world with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Liu Ji is honest and upright.

The people below are definitely not allowed to do such favoritism and malpractice.

Therefore, the fraud in the imperial examination should be related to the group of Huaixi Xun nobles.

That examiner is probably just a scapegoat.

"However, this has nothing to do with me. I should eat, drink and play."

Behind Ye Xuan, a carriage followed slowly. This carriage belonged to Ye Xuan. Today, after Ye Xuan got off work from the Ministry of Rites, he wanted to take a look around Yingtian Mansion.

"Click."

Ye Xuan bit into a candied haws, and the sour taste of the fruit immediately filled his mouth.

"master."

"It's already getting late, why don't we take the bus back?"

The coachman couldn't help but persuade him.

Ye Xuan took a look at the street. There were gradually fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street. Candles were lit in each house, and the sky gradually became darker.

He stopped wandering around, got into the carriage, and returned to the mansion.

However, when he returned to his mansion, he saw a group of people standing at the door of the mansion. This group of people included sergeants leading troops and eunuchs from the palace.

"Hey, Mr. Ye, I've finally waited for you."

"Your Majesty has conveyed the decree."

"Master Ye, please accept the order."

The eunuch pinched his throat and said.

Ye Xuan was stunned.

Did the emperor give him a decree?

He had never even met Zhu Yuanzhang, so why did Emperor Mao Xian want to convey an order to him?

This is unreasonable.

"Since ancient times, the country has established imperial examinations only to select outstanding talents for the country and to benefit the people of the country. Although the general examination has passed, there is still the palace examination. He is knowledgeable and quick-thinking. The questions for this palace examination are entrusted to Xie, do your duty well..."

The entire imperial edict is written in vernacular.

This is Lao Zhu's style.

The meaning of the whole edict is to tell Ye Xuan to ask him to take the examination questions.

Ye Xuan had several big question marks popping up in his head.

He looked at the carriage of the eunuchs and sergeants leaving, and wanted to throw away the imperial edict in his hand.

Mud horse!

What is Lao Zhu doing?

He is just a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Rites, and he temporarily changed his title to protect himself.

But now you ask me to give you test questions, what does this mean?

Don't be so deceptive!

Ye Xuan finally calmed down and looked at the imperial edict in his hand carefully.

He has no contact with Lao Zhu.

Why did Lao Zhu fall in love with him?

Zhu Biao!

The honest and gentle-looking His Highness the Crown Prince came to Ye Xuan's mind.

He guessed that Zhu Biao encouraged him in front of Lao Zhu, and then Lao Zhu chose the questions for him to take the palace examination.

Unexpectedly, this guy looks honest and honest, but is actually a scammer!

He kindly informed him of the harm done to the Ming Dynasty by the imperial examination system and stereotyped writing of scholars, but this guy did this to his benefactor?

He actually wanted to push him into the fire pit.

Are the questions in the imperial examination so easy to answer?

If you do something wrong, you will be punished!

Whoever would gladly take on this task has something wrong with his brain!

At this time, the system task appears again.

"Ding!"

"Mission: Examination questions to select talents for the Ming Dynasty!"

"Task reward: Shiquan Dabu Pill*1, Performance Skill Mastery*1!"

Ye Xuan looked at the reward with the expression of an old man looking at his cell phone on the subway.

Shiquan Dabu Pill?

Do you want to send beggars away?

Proficient in acting skills?

I’m not in the entertainment industry, so what are you going to do for me?

etc...

Ye Xuan learned about the Shiquan Dabu Pills given by the system version, and knew that the Shiquan Dabu Pills given by the system version can comprehensively improve the body's functions. If the previous physical energy is 1, it can directly increase the physical energy ten times!

"Is this really the Shiquan Dabu Pill I know?"

Ye Xuan was deeply suspicious.

The kind of Shiquan Dabu Pill he understood was the kind that was ineffective and expensive, and was specially used to deceive middle-aged and elderly people.

"If the system version of Shiquan Dabu Pill is really so awesome and can increase various body functions tenfold, then can my ability in that area also be increased tenfold?"

Ye Xuan was heartbroken.

A mere palace examination.

He was next.

In order to increase my physical fitness tenfold, I worked hard.
