Chapter 100 Who set off firecrackers in the laboratory?
The sun was already high, and Zhu Youcheng was still lying on the east bed. The young lady who helped Zhu Youcheng get in the army saw this scene from afar and wanted to go over and wake him up. A guard soldier crossed his gun and blocked the entrance, saying, "The examiner, Lord Sun, said, you can't enter this road."
The examination rooms in the Gongyuan are all in rows, with one road corresponding to a row of examination rooms for candidates to enter or inspect the exam. It has never been used to hear about the road blocking during the exam. The Xiao Taibao looked at the entrance opposite and found that there was a soldier guarding there.
"Oh no, it seems that the Donglin Party wants to take revenge on Mr. Zhu, what should I do?" Xiao Taibao was anxious.
In the morning, Sun Shenxing deducted the test paper with the questions printed and changed it to the report. He felt something was wrong. Now that the two examiners deliberately made Zhu Youcheng unable to get the questions, and he was reluctant to get up, even if he was a god, he would not be able to win the tribute.
Xiao Taibao is a civil servant, and he cannot beat the soldiers who guard the guards. Besides, even if he wins, he will not be able to move the soldiers who are ordered to guard. Beating the guards will not help Mr. Zhu except by trapping himself in.
He left that road and thought of countermeasures while walking. He must notify Eunuch Wei about this matter. How to pass the news to Eunuch Wei? The tribute school has now been closed, and the main examination, the inspector, and the soldiers are not allowed to enter and exit. By the way, it seems that Mr. Zhu's friend, Prince Xin, has been staying outside the tribute school. If he is allowed to learn the news, he might be able to come up with some solutions.
Shouting in the tribute court seems not a good idea. Apart from being able to get the examiner to arrest himself with justification, the news cannot be passed on to Prince Xin. If you have a better luck, Prince Xin can judge that a madman is present. If you are not lucky, Prince Xin doesn't know what happened in it.
The little prince thought for a long time and finally decided to write the situation on paper and throw it out of the wall. As for whether the prince could pick it up, it would be left to fate - anyway, he and Zhu Youcheng didn't seem to have any friendship with each other.
It is not a good idea to write with a pen on the table. It is too many people and is seen by the examiner. It would be bad if he had colluded with the candidates to cheat.
The weather was still cold at this time, and each candidate had a carbon basin next to it, and the wood charcoal was lit to make a fire. The little Taibao picked up a small piece of wood charcoal that fell outside the carbon basin, turned to a corner, and wrote a few words on the paper while people were not paying attention: "Zhu Youcheng was sleeping, and the prince tried to do it."
The little taiwan kneaded the paper into a ball, determined the direction where Prince Xin might be in, and threw it out. Unfortunately, the paper ball was too light and was not thrown out of the wall. Fortunately, it did not make any sound, and no one was found. The little taiwan picked up a stone, wrapped the stone in the ball of paper, and then threw the ball away.
King Xin Zhu Youjian was drinking soy sauce outside the carriage and eating scorched circles. When he saw a piece of paper thrown out from the tribute court, he was very interesting. He thought to himself that there was such a cheating method and asked a Jinyiwei to pick it up.
When he opened the font group, he saw a stone wrapped inside. After studying it for a long time, he felt bored and was about to throw it away. Chen Guoqi saw that there seemed to be words on the paper and stepped forward to remind him: "Prince Xin, the stone is probably counterweight. The font is too light to throw it out. Look at the piece of paper, it seems that there are words on it."
King Xin nodded, unfolded the paper and changed his face, and said, "Brother Cheng seems to have been framed again."
Chen Guoqi hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Lord Zhu?"
King Xin handed the note to Chen Guoqi, and Chen Guoqi's face changed after reading it. They knew that Zhu Youcheng was a quick gunman and could be written in a blink of an eye, but it was already four o'clock in the morning (now ten o'clock in the morning). How could he finish the test paper if he fell asleep?
King Xin invited Chen Guoqi and Wu Huping to discuss with each other to see how to wake Zhu Youcheng up.
Chen Guoqi said: "How about I crawl in with the flying claws and waking Lord Zhu."
"No, this is the Ming Dynasty's slogan ceremony. How can you do this? When the censor submits the memorial, Brother Cheng will be in trouble." Prince Xin said with a frown.
Wu Huping said: "Why would the Jinyiwei stand outside together and shout out Mr. Zhu to get up?"
"No, no, first of all, this will spread Brother Cheng's reputation of sleepiness, and he will be angry with me; secondly, it seems inappropriate to shout the candidate's name outside the examination room. However, it is a way to get up with a voice."
As he said that, the three of them lit up their eyes and said in unison: "Firecrackers!"
Zhu Youjian said: "Brother Cheng seems to be particularly sensitive to the sound of firecrackers. Every time he sets firecrackers in the military camp, he always thinks that he should go out to check. When we set firecrackers outside, Brother Cheng will definitely wake up. Chen Baihu and Wu Baihu, go to the nearby area to find out if there are firecrackers. If there are firecrackers, buy them. Let's set off firecrackers here."
Chen Guoqi and Wu Huping searched everywhere. The New Year was over and there were very few shops selling firecrackers, but they didn't buy them. However, Wu Huping had an idea. He pulled out the horses that pulled the cart and rode them to buy them. After a while, he bought many firecrackers and brought an iron bucket.
Wu Huping said: "Putting firecrackers in an iron bucket will make the sound louder and more like a musket, which will easily wake up Lord Zhu."
Zhu Youjian nodded, and was very entertained, saying, "I'll do some."
Zhu Youjian removed several firecrackers in front of the lead wire to make the lead wire very long, then lit an incense, stood far away, and lit the lead wire with the incense. Seeing the lead wire burning "chichi", Zhu Youjian threw the incense and covered his ears tightly with both hands.
The sound of setting off firecrackers in this way is indeed even louder. In addition to the "crackling" explosion, there are also the sound of "Dangdang" firecracker fragments knocking on the iron barrel.
Zhu Youjian was afraid that Zhu Youcheng would not wake up once, so he lit two more firecrackers.
In fact, when the first firecracker was ignited, Zhu Youcheng woke up. He jumped up and shouted: "Where is the fire gun? What happened?"
When the cold wind blew through his body, he suddenly realized that this was in the examination room, not in the military camp, and the sound outside was probably some naughty child setting off firecrackers, but I don’t know how it was, it was so loud.
As soon as Zhu Youcheng woke up, the guards immediately went to report to Sun Shenxing and Wang Tu quickly.
Sun Shenxing also heard the sound of firecrackers. He knew it was not good and thought to himself: "Who set off firecrackers in the imperial examination? It's just right to do something bad to me. Is it easy for me to do something bad? I'm worried, and the killer didn't cooperate with me. If there is a happy event, can't I wait until tomorrow?"
After hearing the soldiers' reports, Sun Shenxing turned his nose even more angry and looked around for the person who set off firecrackers.
Seeing the smoke floating into the tribute courtyard from outside the wall, Sun Shenxing went back in disappointment. There was no way. Sun Shenxing was locked in the tribute courtyard like the candidates, and could not go out even if the sky collapsed and the earth collapsed. He had to secretly greet the eight generations of ancestors of the perpetrator in his heart. Fortunately, he cursed in his heart. Otherwise, Emperor Tianqi would find out, and the nine clans would be punished. Because Emperor Tianqi was the same as the eight generations of ancestors of the person who set off firecrackers.
Zhu Youcheng was a little scared when he saw the sun rising high. Fortunately, the firecrackers woke him up, otherwise he might not have finished writing the article if he went to bed.
But since he got up, he was not panicked, and slowly washed up and ate some breakfast.
After everything was done, he returned to the wooden board in the examination room - before the examination, and prepared the answer sheet.
The test case was very clean, only one test paper was placed, and there was no oil stain on the test paper. It seemed that the soldiers removed the remaining soup and even wiped the test case after he fell asleep.
There is no word on the test paper, only red vertical lines are printed. What's going on? Why are you only giving answer sheets and not giving questions?
Zhu Youcheng looked at the test paper over and over again several times, but he still couldn't find a word on it.
At the same time, Prince Xin outside the Gongyuan also encountered trouble.
A group of soldiers who were defending the tribute hall outside rushed over and surrounded Prince Xin's carriage.
