The Famous Detective of the Red Mansions

Chapter 101: On the imperial examination and the heroic slaves deceiving Yucun

   In order to avoid the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Qiuwei custom of the Great Zhou Dynasty started on August 19 and ended on August 27.

During the    three consecutive exams, each for three days, a total of nine days and seven nights.

   Generally speaking, the chief examiner and deputy chief examiner will be scheduled in mid-July, and the appointment of examiners in each room will not exceed late July at the latest.

  Sun Shaozong only got the news now, and it was already a long time later than others, not to mention that he was still an authentic "experimental rookie".

   Therefore, he couldn't take care of it for a while, and thanked the guests behind closed doors, and learned the secret rules.

   "As a patrolling envoy, Dong Weng does not participate in the transcription and scoring, so the fraud on this volume does not require Dong Weng to bother - Dong Weng should pay attention to those talents who carry private possession."

   "In previous years, the inspections were not lax. Dry food and steamed buns had to be broken, and even the nostrils, ears and eyes could not be searched, but it is still difficult to prevent fraud."

   "In order to add a bit of hope to the Gein scholars, it is really the Eight Immortals who cross the sea to show their magical powers!"

"Cheating on clothes, shoes, hats, or the Four Treasures of the Study has been used since ancient times. In recent years, new tricks have emerged in an endless stream. People swallowing wax pills, tattooing with pigeon blood, stuffing bamboo tubes in the anus, and asking people to make fake skins. I really thought of any trick!"

   "There was even an old man in the Taizu dynasty who touched the tribute yard half a year in advance, buried cheat sheets in various latrines, and only dug them out for use during exams!"

   "There is such a thing?"

  Sun Shaozong couldn't help but curiously asked: "Then how was he discovered?"

   "It's buried too deep!"

Cheng Rixing sighed: "He squatted in there for half an hour, and after he came out, his sleeves were covered with dirt, but he was seen through it on the spot-this was a riot. When the test was opened later, the latrines were all newly dug. That's it."

   Sun Shaozong was speechless for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Then what happened to the digger?"

   "What else can I do?"

   Cheng Rixing spread both hands: "At that time, an adult suggested that since he likes to dig holes in the latrine, he should be stripped of his fame and punished him to be a ‘night fragrance messenger’ for three years."

   The so-called ‘Emissary of Yexiang’ means the labor that goes from house to house every morning and calls people out to pour Yexiang.

   This should be regarded as asking for benevolence, right?

   Hearing Cheng Rixing talked about these many cheating methods, Sun Shaozong felt that the heavy responsibility was on his shoulders, and he was about to continue to ask, but heard someone outside said: "Master Sun, Master Fu Yin asked the humble post to send you the list of candidates for your review."

Sun Shaozong hurriedly greeted him, waiting to greet the little official who sent the list. He suddenly saw the four officials behind him carrying a pole, but couldn't help but breathe in a cold breath: "This... Are all candidates in the list?!"

   "Nature."

The little green-robed official arched his hand towards the north side and flattered: "Thanks to Master Yin’s efforts in enlightenment, now we are in the thriving style of Shun Tianfu. There are more than 2,300 scholars who have taken the exam in the autumn of this year. It has greatly exceeded previous years!"

   2,300 people?

   is a roster of 23,000 people, and there is no need for four people to carry the burden, right? !

   is just the usual appearance of the other party, and Sun Shaozong is not too surprised.

   Waiting to send the little green-robed official away, he then picked up a book to take a closer look.

  啧~

No wonder I have done so many things. In addition to the name and birthplace, address and age, height, short and fat, who is the security, etc., this booklet also lists many details, such as whether to marry, whether to use the left hand or the right hand, whether there are birthmarks on the body, and how to walk. Inner horoscope or outer horoscope...

   At this level of detail, it is almost impossible to mark the size of the job on it!

   In addition, each candidate also comes with a portrait...

   In the past, Sun Shaozong always felt that such a leisurely government of the Ministry of Rites, and raising so many subordinates, was really a waste of the country's food-now it seems that people really don't eat dry food!

   "Do these details have to be compared one by one before entering the examination room?"

  Sun Shaozong threw the roster back to his shoulder, and said speechlessly: "If you want to be so careful, it is estimated that three days will not be enough for them to enter the field!"

   "This is mainly because I am worried about someone acting as an imposter."

   Cheng Rixing said helplessly: "But Dong Weng doesn't have to be too distressed. At that time, the soldiers who have their own patrol and city defense battalions will help verify the body. Dong Weng only needs to check on the side."

   It's no wonder that fraud in this examination field can't be stopped. It's no wonder that the group of gangsters in the patrol camp will do their best to check!

   "After tossing about once every three years, doesn't anyone think of a way to save time and effort?"

   "Well..."

   Cheng Rixing said: "During the reign of the Supreme Emperor, someone really thought of a way. He asked them to build a large pond in the Gongyuan, and ordered the candidates to bathe together before entering the venue, and then put on the clothes prepared by the court."

   Sun Shaozong suddenly felt his eyes shine upon hearing this, and said with joy, "Since there is such a rule, why didn't you say it earlier?!"

   Cheng Rixing hurriedly said: "Dongweng, it's not a student who doesn't tell me, but this method has been banned. It's useless if you know it."

   "Why? This method should be practical?"

"At that time, after the examination of that subject, dozens of people contracted Hualiu disease. The common people said that the subject was'Mutating Children and Extinguishing Grandsons~www.wuxiaspot.com~~ As a result, the Shilin community was so excited that this method was completely abolished Up."

   Okay~

   This reason is indeed very powerful. If Sun Shaozong is replaced, he will definitely oppose it!

After yelling a few bookkeepers to put the roster in different categories, Sun Shaozong really couldn’t afford to look at it. He hesitated for a while and simply suggested: “After all, there’s something wrong with talking about soldiers on paper. Why don’t we go to the Gongyuan for a tour first? Check it out and it will be fine to adapt to local conditions at that time."

   Cheng Rixing naturally does not have any opinions.

   So Sun Shaozong ordered the people to prepare the carriage, and recruited Zhou Da and Zhao Wuwei to accompany him, and he was about to rush to the examination room.

  Who knows that everyone just got out of the penalty officer, they ran into Jia Yucun’s subordinates and said that it was Master Fu Cheng who asked Sun Shaozong to go over.

   Although Jia Yucun was unhappy to betray him, the Shangguan summoned him, but he still had to go.

   So Sun Shaozong asked Cheng Rixing and others to wait in the gatehouse and hurried to the courtyard of Jia Yucun.

  He often comes and goes to this yard, so he doesn't need any special knowledge, so he went straight into the living room, and saw Jia Yucun coming and going with his hands on his back, his face full of indignation.

   Which drama is this going to sing again?

   Seeing more of the old fox's acting skills, Sun Shaozong would not believe his emotions.

   So Quandang didn’t see the general, and he bowed forward and said, “I don’t know if Master Fu Cheng summoned an official, what can you tell me?”

   Jia Yucun took a few more steps, then suddenly turned around and asked, "Does the old man know the chief steward of Rongguo Mansion?"

   The chief butler of Rongguo Mansion?

   "The Lord said that Lai Da?"

   "It's this guy!"

   Jia Yucun gritted his teeth and cursed: "It's totally unreasonable for a sordid **** to come and threaten the official just now!"
