Uncle Zhongyi's Mansion, lobby.
Shen Wenyuan knelt in front of Jiang Qingrong with a face full of grief, "It's all my fault. Wanwan and I went on a trip to the lake... and the result... the boat sank..."
He and Jiang Wan traveled to the lake and took a small boat.
The ship sank.
He knew how to swim and deliberately flopped in the water. After Jiang Wan was completely dead, he pretended to have found her and fished her body ashore...
Then, with everyone watching sympathetically, he came to Jiang's house crying all the way with Jiang Wan's body to plead guilty.
Anyone who meets him must praise him for his love and justice.
"How could this happen?" Jiang Qingrong looked at Jiang Wan's body in front of him, and his whole body felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
He was full of joy and thought that he was going to catch up with the Shen family, but in the end, it was gone?
Just gone?
"Oh my God..." Jiang Qingrong's face turned pale, and his joy turned to great sadness. He couldn't bear the stimulation for a while, and he rolled his eyes and fainted.
……
Jiang Qingrong was really sick this time.
Jiang Rong returned to the Jiang family to preside over the funeral.
Taifu Shen felt very guilty about Jiang Wan's death and believed that Shen Wenyuan had a great responsibility for not taking good care of Jiang Wan.
Let Shen Wenyuan keep watch over Jiang Wan as a husband.
Shen Wenyuan was very unhappy, but he could only do as he was told.
The Shen family also reported the case and investigated the cause of the boat leak, but the government found no clues.
Not only the government has no clues.
Jiang Rong didn't catch Shen Wenyuan either.
She knew that Shen Wenyuan would definitely kill Jiang Wan...
So I had already sent people to keep an eye on Shen Wenyuan's movements...
But no one under his command came to Yingyue Lake in advance to tamper with the ship...
"It seems that Shen Wenyuan has a helper hidden in the dark." Jiang Rong thought thoughtfully.
Jiang Rong recalled all the people in his previous life in his mind, but found no suspicious candidates.
But after thinking about it, she thought of a fragment that had not been connected in the previous song.
Shen Wenyuan would not take her to elope.
In terms of his own interests, he would be happy to see it happen if he married into the Northern Prince's Mansion.
What prompted Shen Wenyuan to make this move must be someone behind the scenes.
This person offered a "price" that Shen Wenyuan could not refuse.
This person is hiding in the dark.
Could Shen Wenyuan's helper be this person?
……
In late July, Chi Moyan returned to Beijing.
On the fifth day of August, the examination begins.
Three days later, the trial will end.
The Gongyuan, which had been closed for three days, opened its doors and candidates filed out.
Dong Zefei kept a low profile and hurriedly returned to the princess mansion after the exam. The great scholar, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately wrote an article according to the examination questions.
Dong Zefei copied another copy according to his own handwriting.
In Beijing, supervision is very strict.
The questions were only sent out the day before the exam, and the examiners could only see them when they were unpacked.
Therefore, the Dong family was not able to get the questions in advance.
But there are other ways.
The invigilator responsible for collecting papers specially gave Dong Zefei's test papers to Liang Yan.
There are more than twenty people responsible for marking, but the others have no decision-making power and can only recommend the articles they like to the three examiners...
Only one of the principals who passes the exam will be considered a student.
This is only the primary election.
After that, all examiners have to read the selected articles again, and then rank the multiple selections and so on. If you really choose a poor article, you won’t be able to pass the re-selection.
During the primary election, only Liang Yan could see Dong Zefei's test papers.
Then change the paper before the re-election the next day, and you can hide the truth.
It's just that this matter is very risky and requires many joints to be opened, from winding to distribution to guarding, etc...
There must be someone at each node to complete this set of processes.
And once discovered, the consequences will be serious.
If it weren't for Princess Anyang's promise of huge profits and all kinds of persecution, King Duan would never be willing to do such a thing for a place in the examination.
Wouldn’t it be nice for them to first buy Jinshi who have already passed the examination?
……
Late night.
Liang Yan sat in front of the case and read the papers. He was speechless as he looked at the nonsense article in front of him.
Can this article be successful?
The examiner responsible for taking the examination from another country is very problematic!
The imperial examination was anonymous.
So I can’t see the candidate’s name. But it was agreed in advance that the word "fly" should be written in the third character on the seventh line of the test paper as a secret code.
Moreover, he also read Dong Zefei's handwriting of the article in advance to ensure that there would be no mistakes.
Liang Yan placed this volume of articles in the batch of students staying in the school.
At this moment...
The officer responsible for delivering meals came over and delivered supper to Liang Yan.
The cook is also sealed in the tribute courtyard.
But this entire set of levels has been cleared.
The officer handed the test paper hidden in the food box to Liang Yan.
The three examiners all have separate rooms, and there are no outsiders at this time.
The guard outside the door also has a member of the Duanwang Party who is responsible for keeping track.
Liang Yan handed him the replaced test paper and said, "Burn it quickly."
The words just fell...
A cold voice came from outside the door, "Master Liang, what are you doing?"
Liang Yan looked at Master Shen outside the door in shock!
Where are the guards keeping watch? There was no notice that someone was coming!
……
Before the exam starts.
Jiang Rong sent a message to Master Shen, "Liang Yan cheated."
Taifu Shen was very shocked. He didn't know where Jiang Rong got the news, but she would never talk nonsense. She must have found some clues...
The emperor asked Taifu Shen to be the examiner, and a school captain from the Mingxin Division was assigned to him.
Since the first day of exams.
Taifu Shen sent people to secretly keep an eye on Liang Yan and other Duanwang Party officials.
Taifu Shen can be the chief examiner, not only because he is impartial, but also because he is also a capable official.
Give him a clue and he can catch a whole brood of rats.
……
Taifu Shen opened the two papers with unknown names, and they all had the same name on them.
Dong Zefei.
Taifu Shen brought two examination papers to the interview overnight.
The emperor was furious.
"There are a lot of people involved in bringing in the test papers." The emperor sneered, "Come here, arrest and imprison all the people who invigilated and marked the exams this time. Chu Shouchen! Investigate this matter thoroughly for me!"
As soon as the emperor heard Liang Yan's name, he guessed that it was the Duanwang Party who did it.
But princes compete for power and gain, and everything must be done in a certain way.
Even the imperial examination has begun to tamper with things. It's time for King Duan to give it a good beating.
Otherwise, he would have thought that the official positions in the imperial court were under his control. Whoever he wants to win can win?
He, the emperor, is not dead yet.
……
Princess Anyang's Mansion.
"After my son passes the exam this time, we can calm down these turmoils!" Princess Anyang looked at Dong Zefei with a happy smile.
Dong Zefei was still angry with himself, "Chi Moyan, a pariah, dares to bark at me. I want him to look good when he becomes an official!"
"Don't worry, no matter how many of our people are in the court, the Xie family and the prince will not deal with it. If Chi Moyan enters the officialdom, he will definitely die a bad death." Princess Anyang was proud.
The words just fell...
A group of captains in flying fish uniforms rushed in.
"Mingxinsi..." Princess Anyang's heart skipped a beat when she saw this battle, and she had a bad premonition: "What are you doing?"
Chu Shouchen held up the token and said, "His Majesty's decree is to arrest Dong Zefei and put him in jail. Get out of the way of those who are not involved."
"What? Why are you arresting my son!" Princess Anyang couldn't believe it.
"Imperial examination fraud." Chu Shouchen replied to her.
Princess Anyang's eyes darkened, "Impossible...how is this..."
How come it was exposed?
