Shangguan Ruoli took his two children to Aunt Xue's residence. When she was about to run away, he threw stones and hit her acupuncture points, and then the three of them went to the Yamen to watch the case reviewer.

After Aunt Xue was tortured, the person she recruited to arrest Ling Yue and Wu Lang was her old concubine, Boss Xu, Aunt Xu's brother who had been taught by the city.

All the students and the people were shocked, and the enthusiastic students even denounced the emperor as being an unjust official, lax in running the family, and lacking in personal ethics. The people cursed the Xu family for being rich and unkind, and for buying and selling people, which was a heinous crime.

The prefect had a headache. He thought it was just an ordinary sex scandal. He was trying to gain a reputation as a Qingtian master in front of all the students, but he didn't expect that his subordinates and big players in the city would be involved!

The Xu family was a big family in Fengcheng, and they often gave him gifts through edicts. But now that he was riding a tiger and couldn't get off, with so many students watching, he could only order people to arrest Boss Xu, but Boss Xu went to other places to do business and no one was brought.

Although Jiaoyu was not involved in this matter, his reputation and official status were affected: he once took a brothel girl as a concubine, and was cuckolded by another aunt's brother. This concubine was also a trafficker.

Jiaoyu felt that he was too embarrassed to see others. After he divorced Aunt Xu, he became so angry that he fell ill and couldn't even invigilate the exam. Even if he wasn't sick, he couldn't invigilate the exam, and he really couldn't hold his head high in front of all the students.

The examiner this time is the Minister of Rites from Beijing, which shows that the prince attaches great importance to the imperial examination in Fengcheng. In the future, when the prince ascends the throne, Fengcheng will be the land of Longxing, and the officials and princes who go out here will have a close relationship.

This inspection is extremely strict. Not only the appearance and information are carefully checked, but the local students who vouch for the candidates will also appear here. Both parties must identify each other. The five candidates who are mutually guarantor must also identify each other and supervise each other.

Chu Xing appeared here and was very polite to Dongming Ziyu. This made the prefect understand that he was right in the Aunt Xue case and decided to continue to pursue Boss Xu.

The prefect secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, it was too dangerous! It was too dangerous!

He was very lucky that his bet was right again!

Now was not the time to talk. Dongming Ziyu said hello to Chu Xing, then continued to walk in and underwent a body search to prevent entrapment.

Dongming Ziyu was tall and looked back before going in. He looked past the crowd and saw Shangguan Ruoli holding Wulang standing there and watching him enter the examination room. When he saw him, he looked over and waved vigorously.

.

Dongming Ziyu nodded slightly and walked in with firm and confident steps.

Shangguan Ruoli's mood was quite complicated. He didn't expect that he would have to send his husband to the examination room one day. This feeling... tsk tsk.

Ling Yue stood beside her, pulling on her sleeves and dancing. However, she was too short and couldn't see the situation in front of her. "Mom, mother, has dad entered the examination room?"

Wulang said proudly in his mother's arms: "You're in! You're still smiling at me!"

Ling Yue tickled his leg a few times, making him giggle.

Shangguan Ruoli put Wu Lang down, took his little hand and said, "Let's go back and wait for your father."

Ling Yue took Wu Lang's other hand and asked, "Should we prepare the meal and wait for dad to come back?"

Shangguan Ruoli said: "Your father will have to stay in the examination room for three days before he can come out. On the third day, we will pick him up again."

I had been in Fengcheng for ten days, and had gone through all the things I needed to see. I listened to plays, stories, and books. Wulang didn't understand much, so the three of them bought some vegetables and went back to the small courtyard where they rented.

At the entrance of the alley, I saw the two beggars again.

Shangguan Ruoli's eyes turned cold, and he walked over and asked, "What are you still doing here? One of the people who asked you to keep an eye on us went to jail, and the other escaped!"

The beggar is the most well-informed, and of course he knows about the cases of the past few days.

Beggar A chuckled and said, "We don't know what you are talking about! The students living here are very generous. We are here to ask for a few copper coins from the talented men."

Beggar B also stretched out his hand and said shamelessly: "You seem to be a kind person at first glance. Why don't you buy steamed buns for a few copper coins?"

This man was only in his early forties and could support himself even by doing hard labor.

Shangguan Ruoli snorted coldly, "You, a grown man with hands and feet, are asking for food. You are so shameless! I warn you, if you do anything harmful to nature again, your legs will be broken!"

After saying that, he took Ling Yue and Wu Lang into the alley.

Beggar B spat at them, "Bah! You are so capable! You are so stupid! Ah!"

He screamed and covered his mouth, "Pfft!"

A copper plate came out of his mouth, along with four teeth.

The two beggars were so frightened that they did not dare to settle the score with Shangguan Ruoli, so they quickly picked up the broken bowl and ran away.

Dongming Ziyu has found his seat and received the paper he was handed out.

The three days of the college examination were divided into two sessions, the main examination and the re-examination. The most difficult thing was not the examination questions, but the heat, mosquitoes, and smell.

The climate here is warm, and the weather in August is still muggy. Hot means there are mosquitoes, and it means the toilet smell evaporates quickly.

Fortunately, Shangguan Ruoli had prepared everything for him, including medicine packets to prevent mosquitoes, peppermint pills to prevent heat stroke, food, bedding, handkerchiefs, underwear and a change of clothes. Although these spaces were available, there were several pairs of eyes of the invigilator staring at him.

It may not be convenient to take out when needed, so I always have a copy prepared.

Dongming Ziyu first read the test paper from beginning to end. After there were no mistakes, he started to review the questions and answer them. The questions were large and wide-ranging, so time must be allocated reasonably to complete them easily.

The first test was about the classics, its meaning, its meaning and poetry. The proportion of the classics and its meaning has dropped, while the proportion of its meaning has increased. So even though it was deeper, Dongming Ziyu answered,

It was a little easier than the last few exams.

The first meal in the examination room was relatively rich. At noon, I cooked instant noodles with soy sauce beef, sausages, eggs, vegetables, and sesame oil. The taste was very fragrant.

Not only Dongming Ziyu cooks instant noodles, many candidates are cooking instant noodles. The method of making instant noodles is not difficult. Since the really delicious pastry shop launched the instant noodle set, many cooks have thought about it and sell it.

After lunch, Dongming Ziyu was not in a hurry to answer the questions. He stood up and walked around in the narrow examination hall, stretching his arms and kicking his legs. After eating for a while, he sat down and continued to answer the questions.

Answering questions in the afternoon was more difficult, it was too hot and stuffy. There were many people in the exam room, and there was no ventilation. Everyone was sweating profusely. If you were not careful, sweat beads would fall on the exam paper and stain it. Your palms would be sweaty, and it would be difficult to hold the pen.

The handkerchief Dongming Ziyu used to wipe his sweat was soaked through, and smelled of sweat. The air was filled with the smell of sweat, various food smells, rancid smell, feces and urine...
