When he was taken from Shengpingfang to Dali Temple, he passed through Zhuque Street. Xue Bai suddenly heard a thundering sound.

Turning around, I saw a group of people slowly coming from the south, attracting countless people to watch.

"It's an eagle! Eagle!"

The children shouted excitedly.

Because in front of the team, there were warriors riding on a tall camel, with a snow-white eagle on his shoulders, looking at him with great aura.

There are several different eagles. Behind the Eagle Show Team is a carriage with cages on it and there are two beautiful beasts inside, like cats, tigers and leopards.

The people of Chang'an watched over and shouted louder and louder.

"Fly on the grass, fly on the grass!"

"And the Tianma..."

Until Xue Bai walked into the imperial city and finally looked back at the Suzaku Street, he still couldn't see the end of the team of rare beasts.

It was An Lushan who came to Beijing to compete for favor.

One wave has not yet settled, and another wave has started again.

~~

"Xue Bai, are these your test papers?"

"yes."

"Some people say that you are not here in the last two exams of the Imperial College for the year. What explanation do you give?"

Xue Bai looked at Du Hongjian's eyes in the Dali Temple and asked back: "I'm afraid Du Sizhi should explain this inexplicable words."

"This is Dali Temple, who do you think you are?"

Xue Bai calmly said, "I am a student of the Imperial College of the Emperor's Sutra."

Du Hongjian was surprised by his arrogance and couldn't help but turn his head to look behind him at Li Daosui, the Minister of Dali Temple, Wang Hui, the Minister of the Censor, and Cui Qiao, the Minister of Rites.

Wei Shu, Su Yuanming and other Imperial College officials involved in this matter were all sitting sideways to the trial.

The Eastern Palace has never interfered in state affairs, and this case was rare this time. Fang Guan even took advantage of his position and reported to the saints to punish the Imperial College. The reason is also very sufficient. The depravity of the Imperial College will not be a day or two. There is indeed a need for purging it, so it will start with the fraud in the annual exam.

"I dare to argue and bring the witnesses."

After a while, several students from the Imperial College were brought up, and they did not dare to look at Wei Shu sitting there.

Du Hongjian came prepared and confidently arranged for the testimony to speak one by one...

"Student Zhao Zancheng was sitting behind Xue Bai during the year exam. At the end of the exam, the student was handing in the paper. When he saw Xue Bai lifting the curtain and preparing to leave the examination room without permission, he was taken away by Su Siye."

"Xue Bai, what explanation do you give?"

"When Dr. Zheng was taken away, I broke the inkstone and planned to return to the account and get one."

"That's true." Su Yuanming said: "I am the invigilator, so I can pick up the inkstone with him."

Zhao Zongcheng said: "But after Xue Bai left, he never came back."

"He went back, and the exam room was separated by bamboo curtains. You shouldn't have noticed it for a while."

"There were several times when the wind blew the bamboo curtains, and the students saw that there was no one in his mansion."

"You read it wrong." Su Yuanming only responded to the four simple words.

Du Hongjian sneered slightly after hearing this, and asked the other students to testify, all of which said that they only saw Xue Bai leave but did not see Xue Bai return.

"Can everyone read it wrong? All the facts are there, and all the evidences are complete. Xue Bai, what else do you have to say?"

"You have no evidence; I have test papers as evidence." Xue Bai said: "You selected ten witnesses to confirm that I am not in the examination room; can I pick out the fifty people who saw me in the examination room? I wonder if I can put them in the Dali Temple?"

"Your so-called fifty people are all classmates who have been bribed by you."

"Can these ten certificates be directly bought by Du Si?"

"Sociologists." Du Hongjian said: "Why did I buy someone's certificate?"

"Yes, why?" Xue Bai thought about it and couldn't answer.

Du Hongjian bowed to Li Daosui, the minister of Dali Temple, and said, "Tingwei, I have physical evidence and more evidence. I saw Xue Bai elsewhere on the day of the year exam."

Xue Bai knew that as Du Xi said, the servants of Princess Xianyi's mansion were improperly managed and someone had been bribed.

It is not difficult for Du Hongjian to prove the truth.

Wei Shu had not waited for more witnesses to come to the court, but he had already sighed and stood up, saying, "If Xue Bai cheated, it was just me who leaked the issue in advance. If this case is to be investigated, I should investigate it."

"Did Mr. Wei admit this? Or should he rely on fame and threaten his subordinates? The country's acquisition of scholars is a major matter for the country. We should investigate this case carefully! People come and give us physical evidence!"

~~

Outside Dali Temple, Du Wulang, who rushed over after hearing the news, looked anxious.

He pulled his robe and ran, greeting dozens of Imperial College comrades behind him from time to time.

"quick!"

He must rescue Xue Bai earlier, otherwise Xue Bai will fall into Dali Temple Prison alone this time.

Finally, he climbed the steps panting, but a team of guards in front of him were blocking him.

"You want to rebel but not succeed?" An official strode out and shouted, "Dare you dare to make trouble in front of the Dali Temple? You still won't retreat!"

"We are witnesses." Du Wulang shouted: "Let's testify for Xue Bai!"

"It's ridiculous. The witness was summoned by Dali Temple. How could it be that it would be possible to break in without authorization?"

Before he finished speaking, a man rushed out from behind Du Wulang, pointed at the official's nose and scolded: "Do you know who my grandfather is?!"

"I care who your grandfather is..."

"What a big tone, I'm his grandfather!"

Suddenly, a shout rang out.

Du Wulang looked back and saw that Yang Zhao was strode and was wearing a light red official robe, which turned out to be the elegance of a senior official in purple robe.

Today, Du Wulang was a guest at Yang's house. He was congratulating Yang Xuan to pass the New Year exam and would "go thousands of miles away" after passing the New Year exam. Suddenly, he reported that the court wanted to investigate the major fraud case of the New Year exam.

At that time, Du Wulang and Yang Xuan rushed to the Imperial College to summon classmates, and Yang Zhao came over at this time and actually brought several red-robed officials.

~~

In the hall, Du Hongjian has already given people more evidence.

"Please look at this paper, which is different from the ink used in poetry and questionnaire. Xue Bai used pine smoke ink, which has a faint fragrance; and the last two papers used Zhenku ink, which is the ink for the Imperial College. Therefore, I speculate that these two papers were written by officials of the Imperial College. Don't worry, I have more evidence. I checked Xue Bai's paper during the exam... "

"Which villain?!"

Suddenly, a shout came, and there was noisy outside the hall.

Du Hongjian turned his head and saw several red-robed officials snatching the court stick from the officials' hands and rushing towards him.

"Mr. Wei has a reputation as a pure queen, how can you allow villains to frame him?!"

"The Imperial College is the order of the emperor. How can there be any fraud?!"

“…”

Amid the shouts of scolding, Du Hongjian narrowed his eyes and saw a tall, handsome but stupid student suddenly rushed towards him.

He recognized him as Yang Xuan, the silly son of Yang Zhao, a doctor in the branch. He didn't know many words and passed the Imperial College entrance examination... Of course, Imperial College has always been like this.

"But! I'm cheating?!"

"Stop him!"

"Stop, don't be presumptuous in the court..."

"Bang!"

It was too late and caught off guard, Yang Xuan rushed directly to Du Hongjian, waved his fist, and punched him in the stomach.

"I finally passed the exam!"

Yang Xuan is worthy of being one of the gangsters of Chang'an. He punched him and showed the momentum of a rogue and stared at the ten classmates who testified.

"You want to take the exam again?!"

Everyone was surprised and the scene was chaotic.

Du Hongjian covered his stomach and keenly realized that Yang Xuan was being instigated. From the word "overtest", we can see that Xue Bai must have made people exaggerate.

"Yang Dalang calms down, no one has said you are cheating."

Du Wulang hurriedly shouted as Du Hongjian wanted to expose his conspiracy to gather people to cause trouble.

First he incited randomly, and then he suddenly saw a familiar figure among the ten witnesses.

"Du Zi? You obviously want to study the scriptures, how can you know whether Xue Bai is here? Oh, I know, you are Du Hongjian's nephew? Did he ask you to commit false evidence?!"

"Belly?" Yang Xuan was stunned at first, and then shouted: "You have passed the New Year exam, and you still want to get the exam over?"
To be continued...
