Another World's Imperial Examination Official Path

The tenth day of March is destined to be a special day.

This morning, the lights of Yongjian School were brighter than usual for a long time.

Yunmengxi also got up early to check the items in the test basket for Chu Zhuang.

"Pen and ink, inkstone, candle, stove, fire book..."

Yunmengxi counted them bit by bit, and after making sure they were correct, she covered the basket and went back to the room to wake up Chu Zhuang.

"Didn't sleep well last night."

Chu Zhuang watched Yunmengxi straighten his clothes, reached out to touch his cheek, and said with some distress.

Yunmengxi was worried about missing time in the morning, so he didn't dare to fall asleep at all last night.

It's just that he was worried that he would disturb Chu Zhuang who was on the side, so he didn't dare to move. He counted the time and got up immediately.

"I'm fine, I can rest when I get back."

Yunmengxi shook his head, and said worriedly: "You, on the other hand, will stay in the Gongyuan for the next three days. Can your body bear it?"

The first round of exams is a comprehensive basic exam, with a large amount of questions and a long exam time, lasting three days and two nights.

During this period, candidates must stay in the Gong Yuan and are not allowed to come out.

Today, the weather is cold and cold, but the examination room in the Gongyuan does not even have a door, only a charcoal basin to keep warm.

In previous years, there were not a few people who went in vertically and came out horizontally, so it was no wonder that Yunmengxi was so worried about Chu Zhuang.

"Don't worry, I'm wearing thermal clothes inside, so I won't freeze."

Chu Zhuang pinched Yunmengxi's cheek, smiled and comforted him.

In order to prevent entrainment, candidates are only allowed to wear unlined clothing, and no interlayer is allowed to enter, and even unlined clothing is not allowed to exceed three layers.

For this reason, Chu Zhuang rummaged through the cashmere thermal clothing and wore it next to his body.

Although the thermal clothes are thin, they are very effective in keeping warm, and there is also a thin blanket, so I don't worry that Chu Zhuang will catch a cold because of it.

After Chu Zhuang had breakfast, both Yun Zhanfei and Yun Hong came, and they sent Chu Zhuang to the examination room specially.

The group first went to Yao's house to pick up Yao Wang, and then headed towards the examination room.

Yao Wang also took the exam this year, but he is not sure that he will be able to pass the exam.

And he didn't want to enter the officialdom right now, he finally entered Yushan Academy, and he wanted to learn more knowledge from several deans there.

So this time is just to test the waters and accumulate a little more experience.

As soon as I entered Suzaku Street, it started to be lively.

The wide streets where eight two-horse carriages can walk side by side at the same time are now full of people.

The people who came were all candidates for the exam and family members who had already been sent for the exam.

There were too many people, and the carriage couldn't get in. Several people got out of the carriage and walked slowly among the crowd.

Several long queues lined up at the several gates of the Gongyuan. The officials at the gate carefully checked the clothes and the things in the examination basket before letting them go.

People who disguised themselves as men in the TV dramas before would definitely be exposed if they encountered such strict inspections.

"Entrainment?!"

A note was found in the test basket of a candidate, and he was questioned face to face by two officials.

"This is not mine!"

With a panicked expression on his face, the examinee repeatedly denied it.

"take away!"

The official was not in the mood to listen to his justification, so in order not to delay the inspection time, he went straight to drag him away.

"I didn't, I really didn't!"

The examinee was anxiously arguing and struggling to be escorted by the official, but in the end he was just a thin and weak scholar, not an opponent of the official, and he was dragged away all the way.

Chu Zhuang frowned watching the movement in front of him.

It is not yet known whether the note was entrained or someone deliberately framed it.

It would be a little too arrogant to take people away without asking why.

Yun Zhanfei and Yunhong guarded the two sides vigilantly, preventing anyone from getting close to Yaowang and Yunmengxi in Chuzhuang.

"Brother Chu, that note was thrown into the examinee's basket."

Yao Wang pursed his lips and said in a low voice.

What he saw with his own eyes just now, and he didn't say it, he felt a little uneasy.

"Who threw it?" Chu Zhuang was stunned and asked.

When Yunhong and the others heard Yao Wang's words, they couldn't help turning their heads to look at him.

"It's the young master who is being examined right now, and the servant next to him threw it into the test basket when the examinee wasn't paying attention."

Yao Wang looked at the person who was being checked ahead.

A few people followed Yao Wang's gaze, and saw a young master dressed in purple clothes, accompanied by several accompanying servants.

"I'll go, you wait here."

Looking at Chu Zhuang's appearance, Yunhong knew that he wanted to meddle in this business, so he spoke before him.

The exam is coming soon, and it is not appropriate for Chu Zhuang to take the lead at this time.

This matter is nothing more than a trivial matter to him, and it is enough for him to solve it.

Telling Yun Zhanfei and Yunmengxi to be optimistic about Chu Zhuang and Yao Wang here, Yunhong went through the crowd and walked forward.

"stop!"

Yunhong reprimanded the official and asked him to let go of the framed examinee.

"Senior Yun."

The guards in the palace were in charge of the search. Some of them recognized Yunhong and saluted immediately.

"This note is not him, someone threw it into his test basket."

Yunhong straightforwardly stated his purpose for coming here.

The candidates who had been taken away had despair in their eyes, but when they heard Yunhong's words, their eyes burst out with hope and eagerness.

Yunhong has already personally come to intervene in the management of this matter, and it is impossible for the officials to take people away arbitrarily.

"Since Shizi Yun has testified, this person is naturally innocent, let him go!"

The defending guard waved his hand and asked the examinee to let go.

Yunhong's status as the eldest son is here, and he has already come forward to testify in person, it is impossible for the official to not give him this face.

"Ziqing would like to thank Shizi Yun for his righteous words!"

Li Ziqing's grievances were avenged, tears streaming down his face in gratitude, and immediately knelt down to thank Yunhong.

If he is charged with entrainment this time, his entire life will be ruined.

"Efforts with little effort are nothing to worry about."

Yunhong didn't take this matter to heart, and helped him up.

Gu Chengtang has participated in several scientific examinations, and this is not the first time he has done such a thing. He has been very successful in the past. Once he was found to be entrained, the official sent him away without asking any questions at all.

Who knew that he would meet Yunhong this time, and that the noble son of Yunhong would come forward to testify in person!

Gu Chengtang swallowed his saliva, his eyes filled with panic.

If Yunhong exposes him, then he...

"My son, my uncle is Gu Yuanwu, the servant of the household department, please forgive me for the sake of my uncle..."

Gu Chengtang cautiously came to Yunhong's side, begging for mercy in a low voice.

I hope that my uncle's face can make Yunhong let him go.

"The note was thrown by this man's servant."

Yunhong ignored him at all, and directly caught the servant who threw the note, and at the same time found a lot of notes from his body.

Obviously Gu Chengtang's goal this time is not Li Ziqing alone.

"So many notes!"

When everyone saw the large pile of notes, they immediately caused an uproar.

Especially those who lined up around Gu Chengtang began to check themselves and the test basket one after another.

Sure enough, two other people found the note in their test basket.

"rat!"

"Scum!"

"Shameless!"

……

Seeing this, everyone immediately started to curse.

There are clear regulations in the scientific examination. Once you are found to be entraining or cheating, you will no longer be able to participate in the scientific examination.

For individual candidates, not only is there no hope for their official career, but they even have to bear such a stigma for life.

Gu Chengtang's method of killing his heart is really outrageous!

"I, I don't, this person is not my servant!"

Seeing that it aroused public outrage, Gu Chengtang was flustered, and denied it palely.

But how could anyone believe this, the students all around looked at him passionately.

Fortunately, there are some scholars around, and a gentleman pays attention to his words and not his hands, otherwise Gu Chengtang will be crushed directly if he steps on it.

"This person has acted viciously, and he has wronged many people. He must not let it go lightly."

Yunhong looked at the guard, frowned and said.

"Young Master Yun, please rest assured! I will definitely report this matter to Lord Xue, the chief examiner, and Lord Xue will definitely investigate this matter!"

This matter has obviously become a big deal, and it cannot be handled by him as an inspecting guard. It must be reported to the examiner for review.

"Arrest people and take them away!"

Gu Chengtang and his servants were escorted away amidst the scolding of the crowd.

Only then did Yunhong return to his side.

"This man looks like a son of a powerful man, this matter..."

Chu Zhuang frowned, with doubts and worries on his brows.

Although Gu Chengtang was taken away, it is still unknown whether he will be punished in the end.

"The chief examiner this time is Xue Pingli, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and the offender is a member of the Gu family, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. These two families have always disliked each other. This time, they will definitely be severely punished."

A smile appeared on the corner of Yunhong's lips, and he explained to Chu Zhuang.

The Xue family is a princeling party, and the household department is all members of the eldest prince's party. Once it involves party struggles, it is absolutely impossible to talk about it with any sympathy.

The Xue family will not only severely punish Gu Chengtang, but even use Gu Chengtang's pretext to bite Gu Yuanwu to death. Even if they can't pull Gu Yuanwu from the position of servant of the household department, they will bite off a piece of his flesh.

Chu Zhuang nodded slightly, he didn't care much about the factional struggle, but Gu Chengtang's methods were too vicious, he could be punished as he should, and those wronged students should be cleared, that's enough.

After such a small episode, everyone guarded the test basket tightly, and the gap between the teams became wider.

Chu Zhuang passed the inspection smoothly. He put on his clothes and put on the test basket, then he looked at Yunmengxi and the others and said, "I'm going in, you all go back, Mengxi, go back and have a good rest, wait for me at home , I'll be back in a few days."
