Chapter 5                                                              

Cheating in the imperial examination has always been a big deal. Once something happens, it is natural to take several lives.

In addition, Zhou Mengchen is so arrogant that this hundred households are not alone when they call people.

Two commanders and one thousand households came.

One of these two commanders is from Shanxi and the other from Shandong. They received a temporary order and led hundreds of people under their command to participate in the task of locking the courtyard. Therefore, although their official position is high, they are not as good as that of this thousand households in terms of speaking.

And this Qianhu was either someone else, or Zhou Mengchen’s acquaintance, Lu Huan.

Lu Huan came and saw that it was Zhou Mengchen. He was shocked and said, "Why are you?"

When Zhou Mengchen saw Lu Huan coming, he calmed down his mind.

He didn't expect Lu Huan to favor him. At this moment, he also knew who the real cheating person was? After all, Mr. Zhai's expression was a little too much. He almost understood, and there were only a few people who had just entered the toilet. It was enough for Zhou Mengchen to figure it out.

But Zhou Mengchen had no choice. After all, there was no evidence. Moreover, Mr. Zhai was not a person without a background.

Zhou Mengchen said: "Lu Qianhu, this matter is too important and cannot be handled by you. Let's go and ask the examiner for instructions."

What a shiver Lu Huan was. He only heard Zhou Mengchen's tone, his eyes swept, and fell on Mr. Zhai, saying, "Come here, transfer all the Jinyiwei, and three people looked at each person. Everyone in these two rows of numbers, one of them was calculated and the other was not allowed to move."

"yes."

Lu Huan immediately went to the backyard to report to Sun Chengen.

During the examination, the tribute school is divided into two parts: the front and back. The front yard is the examination room, and the back yard is the place for each examiner. Although this door is not as difficult as being guarded by officers and soldiers outside, no matter what the situation is, the door cannot be opened without an imperial edict, so it is so strict. Generally speaking, the examiners in the back yard will not come to the front yard.

To avoid suspicion.

But at this moment, Sun Chengen didn't care about this matter anymore.

When Sun Chengen came here, it was already dark.

A large number of soldiers, almost step by step, held up torches in their hands, and torches shone here like daylight.

After Sun Chengen came, he did not ask questions first, but read the article first.

Sun Chengen read the draft first, and the script in his hand.

I only read this eight-legged essay, and I did it very well. The words were also very good, but there was nothing inside.

Of course, there is nothing to write about eight-legged essays. But it can still be seen, but this style is the same as the same as the articles, which are as good as those with wax. If you have good luck, you will be beaten. If you have bad luck, you will be beaten. If you have bad luck, you will be beaten.

Sun Chengen looked at Choi Qixun's article again, and you can tell at a glance that it was written by Choi Qixun.

As I said before, eight-legged essays can easily see people's knowledge and background from the style of writing. At the same time, the same topic, and two eight-legged essays written by the same person are indeed sister chapters, and they can't hide them from others. They can be said to be able to scan them out at a glance.

Zhou Mengchen's article was immediately followed.

Sun Chengen's eyes lit up.

Although Zhou Mengchen was writing about it, it was as consistent as possible with Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism and format. However, Zhou Mengchen was not a native of the Ming Dynasty after all, and many thoughts that he took for granted had a sense of innovating in the Ming Dynasty. After all, conscience, which is often said in later generations, has long become a very commonly used word. But in this era, the one who talked about this was definitely a believer of Wang Shouren.

Zhou Mengchen’s articles are not without problems.

In Sun Chengen's case, he still lacks some polishing, and it is also within the range of whether it can be defeated or not.

If the examiner deducts the details, Zhou Mengchen is likely to be unable to get over it. But if the examiner pays more attention to the literary meaning, maybe Zhou Mengchen will get over it.

It can be said that in Sun Chengen's view, Zhou Mengchen's articles are at the same level as Cui Qixun's articles.

After reading this, he had a clear idea in his heart.

Today's affairs should not be done by Zhou Mengchen.

Lu Huan came over a few steps and said in Sun Chengen: "Sir, I have found out. Cui is Zhai Rujian's teacher."

Sun Chengen looked at Lu Huan and said, "I understand."

Sun Chengen paced slowly and said, "Cui Qixun, Zhou Mengchen, Zhai Rujian, you three come here, and the rest will continue the exam." Then he turned around and left.

After Sun Chengen left, the team of people pressed down on three people and the things of the three people and left together.

Suddenly the entire examination room fell into darkness.

In the main hall of the backyard of the Gongyuan Courtyard, Sun Chengen sat in his head, full of left and right. Nothing else, it was the other officials who presided over the exam this time. After all, this matter could not be borne by Sun Chengen alone.

Sun Chengen said: "Choi Qixun, it's better to tell the truth now, otherwise your fate will only be worse. Think clearly, I'll ask you again, who did your article pass on to."

Cui Qixun's face was extremely pale. He looked at Sun Chengen, and looked at Zhai Rujian with his eyes and said, "It's Zhou Mengchen."

Sun Chengen said: "You know now that his name is Zhou Mengchen?"

Cui Qixun's face was pale and trembling all over, but he said firmly: "I was just entrusted by someone to put things there. As for whom I can take it, I don't know."

Sun Chengen said: "If you don't know, how can you know it's him."

Choi Qixun said, "I saw it."

Sun Chengen said, "I saw that Zhou Mengchen's name is behind you. The toilet is at the end of the name, that is, if you go to the toilet, Zhou Mengchen can see clearly in the name. When Zhou Mengchen goes to the toilet, you can only see clearly from the name. And even if you look at the head, you can't see who took it, let alone haven't taken it yet?"

"Then why did you insist on Zhou Mengchen?"

Cui Qixun didn't know what to say for a moment. She was so anxious that she was sweating profusely.

Sun Chengen turned his eyes and looked at Zhai Rujian and said, "Nephew Zhai, I have read your paper and I will hand it in tomorrow. Your manuscript and paper have not written a single word. Why is this?"

Zhai Rujian had already figured out what to do this morning?

That means never admitting it.

Zhai Rujian said, "Shame, I am not good at learning. I really don't know how to write about this set of questions. I have been thinking about it for a long time, but I don't know where to start?"

Sun Chengen asked again: "Who is this person? Do you know him?"

Zhai Rujian felt a little weak inside, but he forced himself to hold on and said, "Are you talking about Zhou Mengchen and Lord Zhou? Have you met once."

Sun Chengen said: "The Choi Qixun I mentioned? Do you know him?"

Zhai Rujian didn't know whether to admit to knowing each other or not. His brain turned several times and said, "He seemed to have been my teacher before, but I really couldn't stand the teachings. My father changed many teachers for me, and each of them stayed in the mansion for a long time, so I didn't remember it for a while. I just didn't expect that he would do such a thing now. As a disciple, I am also ashamed."

After hearing this, Sun Chengen sneered in his heart and said to himself: "Play a flower gun in front of digging." He was about to ask again, but he completely exposed Zhai Rujian's lie.

But he didn't expect that at this time, one person said: "Sir, the matter of fame and fortune is related to the reputation of a bachelor's life. You must be careful. These three people are involved. Since one of them has conclusive evidence, the other two should also consider it carefully. Otherwise, even if you don't think about the cabinet, you must think about your Majesty."

Sun Chengen immediately recognized the person who spoke, Hanlin editor Peng Feng.

Of course, it doesn’t matter what this person is called. What’s important is that he is Zhai Luan’s person.

As a teacher, Zhai Luan is low-key, but he must have one or two close friends in all departments, otherwise he, the teacher, will not be able to sit steadily.

Peng Feng's words were also in his words, which seemed to mean to be tolerant of the other two. In fact, he tied Zhai Rujian and Zhou Mengchen to the two people involved. It seemed that as long as Sun Chengen dared to take Zhai Rujian down, they would insist that Zhou Mengchen would not be able to escape.

Then Sun Chengen cannot explain to the emperor.
