Tiangong Qi Tan Zhi Shu Lake

Xu Hongzhang looked at the sky outside the window, the sky was dark, it was sunny and sunny just now, suddenly dark clouds overwhelmed the city, "crack" thunder struck, and the heavy rain poured down, which made him tremble involuntarily.

Master Li stopped talking to him, turned around, and asked Master Lu of the Ministry of Industry: "How is the arrangement of the spare test questions? Can the exam be started after a stick of incense?"

Mr. Lu was already sweating profusely: "Returning to my lord, the spare test questions and the official test questions were set up together. I checked it three times last night. It is safe and the test can be started at any time."

After getting the exact reply, Mr. Li heaved a sigh of relief.

"Kacha" sounded another thunder, shaking the doors and windows of the side hall. At the same time, there was a rush of footsteps in the courtyard, and a row of red-clothed guards drove in from the door defiantly under the heavy rain.

The leader was a young man in his twenties, fair-skinned and handsome, with cold eyes, holding the Emei thorn in his hand, walking fast and moving like the wind.

This person is the emperor's inner guard Shaoge leader in red, and he is Mo Shaoyan, the emperor's confidant who secretly supervised the examination of Shangfang Academy.

The inner guard in red, also known as the shadow inner guard, is the military organization of the emperor's bodyguards. It is directly responsible to the emperor, acts according to the order, and investigates all officials and people.

If the test questions hadn't been leaked, Mo Shaoyan would never have shown up easily.

Master Li turned around. Even though he was mentally prepared, when he saw the red gown of the visitor, his expression still shivered involuntarily.

Mo Shaoyan walked up to Mr. Li and stood there, his eyes were sharp, as if two cold lights were piercing into people's hearts, and he asked in a straight and emotionless voice: "Has the leak of the test questions been confirmed?"

"Confirmed!" Master Li presented the note with both hands.

Mo Shaoyan took it over, glanced at it, and said without further questioning, "As the chief examiner, you are already a sinner, so I will give you an order."

Master Li knelt down immediately, and the rest of the examiners also knelt down one after another.

Mo Shaoyan said: "The exam is not over yet. I hope you will preside over the exam as a sinner. After the exam is over, you will be escorted to the capital. Can you hear me clearly?"

"Your official understands." Everyone said in unison.

Mo Shaoyan changed his tone: "Don't think too much about the future, I hope you can preside over this exam with peace of mind, and don't make any more mistakes."

"Kachacha" thunder sounded again, and the lightning shone on Mo Shaoyan's face, making him look even more terrifying.

After a burst of rain outside the door, it gradually stopped.

After the storm, Qingzhou Academy was covered with dead branches and fallen leaves all over the place. A line of guards ran over in neat steps, each with nervous expressions.

The test room for the spare test questions is in the Shilin Courtyard in the backyard of Qingzhou Academy.

The Lion Forest Courtyard was donated by Hu Wansan, a giant businessman in Qingzhou, and it was modeled after Jiangnan gardens.

The Huangshi rockery is the most famous in the garden. The stone here is reddish, so it is called "Little Red Cliff". The rockery in the garden is connected with the rockery. Ten holes, twists and turns, undulating loops.

After being transformed by the Ministry of Industry, 120 seven holes were formed. There are six doors in the hole, and the twelve doors are different. Opening a door leads to different paths. It is a maze connected to a maze. Only one is the correct path to In the secret room at the center, there are customs clearance tokens in the secret room. Candidates will get the clearance tokens after entering the secret room, and rank them according to the order of getting out of the maze.

According to the examination requirements, after the [-] candidates had drawn lots, they stood at the corresponding cave entrance. When the time came, the bell rang and they set off at the same time.

Jiang Chuan took the No. [-] token and walked to the examination area at the rockery.

Fu Yu was in the row behind Jiang Chuan, and the signing officer was an official named Zhao from the Ministry of Rites. When he looked up, he immediately left the bench.

Fu Yu took the lottery holder in his hand, and asked while playing: "What number is drawn in front?"

"The candidate just now drew the No. [-] lottery."

Fu Yu smiled evilly, and said half-truth, "Then do you think I can draw the second lottery?"

While talking, he shook the stick in his hand, the stick slipped from his hand with a 'pop', and seven or eight sticks popped out of the stick and fell to the ground.

Master Zhao hurriedly bent down to pick it up, put the lottery back into the stick, and handed it to Fu Yu again.

But Fu Yu put his hand on the lottery and said, "My lord, which lottery card did I shake out just now?"

Mr. Zhao is also shrewd. He fiddled with the lottery with his fingers immediately, found a lottery and handed it over.

Fu Yu took the signing card, often pinched it behind the ear, and under the astonished eyes of the examinees, walked towards the entrance of the No. [-] cave swaggeringly, and said loudly: "Isn't this a coincidence, brother Jiang."

Jiang Chuan, who was in front of the entrance of Cave No. [-], glanced expressionlessly. Seeing Fu Yu staring at him with a smile on his face, he turned his head away again.

Fu Yu had nothing to say and said, "Brother Jiang, guess who will get the token first, you or me?"

Jiang Chuan didn't answer.

Fu Yu smiled "hehe", tilted his head, and looked at him with interest: "It seems that you don't want to compare with me. Then, after the exam, you follow me."

Jiang Chuan still didn't answer his words.

Fu Yu said again: "Then I will follow you, that's the deal."

Hu Changjian got the lottery No. [-]. When he came over, he happened to hear these words, curled his lips, and said to himself, but he was afraid that others would not hear him, and said angrily: "For some related households, it's okay to play tricks in drawing lots. Forget it, it’s shameful and detestable to openly discuss plagiarism in public.”

Fu Yu glanced at him, seeing the red and swollen palm prints on the boy's cheeks, he thought it was funny.

Hu Changjian mistakenly thought that he was afraid, so his voice became a little higher, and he said in a strange way: "I don't know where that note came from? I thought everything would be fine after I handed it in? I don't know that this time the test questions were leaked. , all relevant personnel will be handed over to the three judicial divisions for joint interrogation. Don't find out in the end. The note is his own. It is also inevitable that he will be served by great torture, and his skin will be ripped apart, his skin will be torn and his flesh will be rotted, and his body will be completely shattered.

Fu Yu followed Pi Liyang Qiu's smile.

Hu Changjian thought he had grasped the clue: "Sure enough, I was right. You and Jiang Chuan each have a copy of the note, right? Maybe it is rumored that you two are the ones who have the answers to every exam."

Fu Yu didn't take Hu Changjian's words, and looked completely indifferent to his various attacks, turned his head and teased Jiang Chuan: "Hey, did you hear that? The more you ignore him, the more embarrassing it is. It's like being in the countryside. As soon as you entered the village, a dirt dog came to meet you, it wanted to bite you, but it didn't dare to bite you, so it came to look for you again, jumping up and down at you and grinning."

He made gestures while talking.

Hu Changjian was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and said anxiously with a pale face, "Oh, you are a dog. Your whole family is a dog, and you are a real dog."

Fu Yu continued to tease Jiang Chuan: "Look at it, doesn't it look similar? And this sound, does it sound like a dog barking? No, no, it's wrong, it's a dog farting, hahahaha."

Hu Changjian was so angry that his seven orifices smoked.

Although Jiang Chuan has been silent all the time, he is still a teenager at heart. It is rare to see a smile on the corner of his mouth, but this smile is fleeting.

At this moment, the bell for the start of the exam rang, and the twenty cave doors opened at the same time, and Jiang Chuan rushed in like lightning.
