Han Jian and Sima Yi waited in Qingxu Yashe until sunset and dusk, and Yang Xi came over in a hurry. As soon as he went upstairs, he said with a panic before he could take a breath, "The examination room is on fire."

Han Jian suddenly stood up and asked, "When?"

"Just a while, I told my sister that I wanted to check the test papers. Before I came out, I heard someone report that the examination institute was on fire and that the papers of the four candidates were burned."

When will the examination institute not catch fire? When I said I would go to check the papers, I immediately caught fire and burned all the test papers. This just means that there is a ghost among them. Han Jian said: "Let's go to the examination institute now."

The three of them took the guards of the East Prince's Mansion and hurried to the Examination House. At this time, the inside and outside of the Examination House were closely guarded by soldiers in the escort site. All candidates were left in the Examination House regardless of whether they were involved in fraud cases.

After coming forward to report his identity, Han Jian and the other two successfully entered the examination yard. As soon as they entered the yard, they smelled a smoky smell. Han Jian looked away. At this time, a fire in the examination yard had not been completely extinguished, and ash was still rising. The candidates were all in their own room, and the examination had been terminated, and they had no idea what was going on outside.

"Go over and take a look." Han Jian pointed to the direction of the fire.

Before the fire, the three of them found a row of low-rise buildings, with several of them being burned by the fire. The soldiers who had just been put to the fire were still scattered in the distance. Two charred bodies were carried out from the fire.

Han Jian looked around and found that there was only one acquaintance, Li Wei, the Minister of Justice, who had met in the Ministry of Justice before. When Li Wei saw Han Jian and Yang Xi, he wanted to avoid it, but he knew that there was no way to avoid it, so he came over to say hello.

Han Jian looked up and down at Li Wei and asked, "Why is Mr. Li here?"

Li Wei stammered and said, "I am going to come over to investigate the case in the next book. I never thought I would encounter this fire, so I come and take a look."

Han Jian felt that Li Wei was inappropriate. First, Li Wei covered up the case, but now he appeared in a place that shouldn't have appeared. Han Jian didn't say anything, and then Jiang Yingcai, the Minister of Rites, also came over, looking anxious, as if he had rushed back from outside.

Han Jian was wondering, why should Jiang Yingcai, who appeared here, come later than they did?

"What's going on?" Jiang Yingcai grabbed the collar of the examination institute and asked.

The people from the Examination Institute had no explanation at all, and Han Jian and Yang Xi walked forward.

"Shilarious Minister Jiang, why are you here only now?" Han Jian asked.

"It turned out to be His Highness Dong Wang." Jiang Yingcai and Han Jian met at the entrance of the examination hall, so he recognized it at a glance, "I just went to the Ministry of Justice to report the fraud case, but I heard that the examination hall was in the water and came over."

Jiang Yingcai was clearly saying that I had evidence of absenteeism and the fire did not depend on me.

"Oh." Han Jian didn't say anything, just nodded and understood.

At this time, the people under the Ministry of Rites also reported the fire. Jiang Yingcai had heard of it and came to report: "The Sixth Prince, Your Highness, the matter has been found out that two people were blind. They made a fire in the Nankuan room and cooked food. When an accident happened, they both burned to death on the fire."

Han Jian frowned. Isn’t this the death without evidence? Two inexplicable people made fire and cooked food in the test room, and then caused a fire, and none of them came out?

The story gradually develops in dramatic aspects.

Han Jian looked at Yang Xi, and Yang Xi was very moved, as if he was feeling a pity for the deceased.

Han Jianben also hoped that Yang Xi would break the baton and ask the question to the end, but now he hoped that he would not go.

Han Jian asked, "Mr. Jiang, don't know if the test papers of cheating candidates, but is it rescued from the fire?"

Jiang Yingcai was stunned and smiled and said, "His Highness Dong Wang is too worried. There are four places in the examination hall like the Nankuang. This is the place where candidates in the South Fourth Room can store the examination papers. Today's fraud case involves candidates, all of whom are candidates in the East Fourth Room and the North Fourth Room. Their papers are stored in the East Warehouse and the North Warehouse."

Because there are many candidates involved in the examination, there are many places to store the examination papers in the examination institute. Han Jian was not surprised by the separate storage of the examination papers. He was just surprised, why did the candidates in the east and north rooms cheat but burn the Nansifang test papers?

When Yang Xi heard that there was nothing wrong with the test papers involved in cheating, she felt relieved and said happily: "I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang, took us over to check the test papers."

Han Jian looked at Sima Yi, and both of them saw the questions in each other's eyes. This matter was obviously a ghost.

"Let's go." Han Jian said, and followed Jiang Yingcai to the outside of the Donggu Room. In this fraud case, Dongsifang cheated the most. More than a dozen candidates were found to have cheated, and Ruan Ping's test site was also in Dongsifang Room.

"The test papers for cheating candidates' first two games have been retrieved. Please check the Sixth Prince and His Highness the Eastern Prince."

As soon as he arrived, someone took out the test papers one by one and handed them to Jiang Yingcai, and Jiang Yingcai submitted them.

"Can we take this back?" Han Jian asked.

"The bottom roll may not work, but the copy...is OK."

The bottom paper is the original test paper of the candidate, and the copy paper is the test paper after being copied by someone. In order to prevent the examiner from recognizing the calligraphy of the candidate or marking the test paper, all test papers must be copied and then reviewed. The copying of the paper should have been asked for someone to do this within a few days after the exam, but because of a fraud case, the Ministry of Rites also found someone to copy the test paper of the cheating candidate in advance.

Han Jian thought, that is to say, except for the cheating candidates' copying papers, the other candidates' papers cannot be taken out.

"Then give us a copy first and we will take it back and take a look." Han Jian said.

Yang Xi didn't quite understand Han Jian's meaning. In his opinion, he should leave it to check it out first, because Han Jian had said before that he would check the papers that did not involve cheating candidates. However, Han Jian felt that this time it was a case that the other party deliberately set up, and no matter how much they checked, they would not have any results. The truly valuable clues should be in the burned Nankufang test paper.

Han Jian personally took the copy and walked to the entrance of the examination institute with Yang Xi and Sima Yi. He originally wanted to see Ruan Ping's situation, but Ruan Ping had been transferred to the cell of Dali Temple. Han Jian knew that it would take a lot of procedures to visit Ruan Ping in Dali Temple. Now he mainly wanted to prove that Ruan Ping is innocent.

When the three of them arrived at the entrance of the examination institute, the third prince Yang Yu also brought people to investigate the fraud in the imperial examination. Yang Yu is very good at the third prince and is also considered a humble and polite gentleman. However, at the age of age, Yang Yu is six years older than Yang Xi, and now he is twenty-four years old and has already started a family.

Han Jian and Yang Xi went up to see each other, and Yang Yu seemed very polite. Although Han Jian was helping Yang Xi, he did not show any repulsion to Han Jian. After rushing to say hello, Han Jian and the other two returned to Qingxu Yashe. It was already time to go on the lights.

It takes more than 20 candidates to finish the test papers, but it doesn't take too long to read. Han Jian mainly reads Ruan Ping's test papers. Ruan Ping's first two games of the Four Books and current affairs were very good, and it was nothing different from his usual knowledge, and it was not like the result of cheating.

After reading it, Sima Yi sighed: "Ruan Ping answered these one set after another, and those who did not cheat were better than those Xiong Baodan. Those Xiong Baodan said that he cheated was obviously because of his sage."

Han Jian said angrily: "The exams are all semi-colons, and they don't know what Ruan Ping wrote on the paper, so how can they talk about their gaze?"

Sima Zhi had no words to deal with.

Ruan Ping has always been in Jiangdu, and there are many candidates who come to take the exam this time. Those candidates also admire Ruan Ping's talent, but in terms of talent, there is no first in literature or martial arts, and if you only admire him, others will not be able to slander him. The main problem is that among the candidates who come to Jiangdu, Ruan Ping is the only one who cheats, but it involves many candidates from the Huaiyin School. Ruan Ping has no contact with these fellow students after entering Luoyang.

Seeing Han Jian silent, Yang Xi asked, "Brother Han, can you tell the problem of these test papers?"

"Yes." Han Jian pointed to the candidate named "Su" and said, "Look at this test paper."

Yang Xi took the test paper "Su" in hand. After reading it, she couldn't help but sigh: "The analysis is incisive, this person has great talent."

"It's hard to say whether you are a big shot or not. You may have known the test questions in advance and found someone to do the questions first. This writing is so sophisticated, and it is indeed not as if a candidate who enters and leaves the test site can do it." Han Jian said.

Yang Xi looked carefully and said, "Indeed, it feels...it's like a great scholar in a family..."

Han Jian said: "The key is not his writing style and words, but... everyone else has names, and he is just for 'Su'. Could it be that Su is his name?"

Sima Yi, who was standing beside him, smiled and said, "How could anyone call such a weird name in the world? It sounds like a pseudonym."

"This is exactly what I am strange about." Han Jian said, "What is the situation? Even the name of this person must be concealed? Look at other test papers. Even if it is a copy, because this involves the fraud case, they will list the names in detail, but Su doesn't even have a name? I vaguely remember that the top scholar named by His Majesty in the last session was also named Su, but later the surname Su died."

Yang Xi nodded and said, "I remember that man is Su Tingxia."
