An official in a green robe stood on the steps and shouted loudly: "All candidates come forward and line up for inspection. Everyone else retreats. Anyone who disrupts the examination room will be punished with a felony."

The imperial examination can be said to be one of the most important things in a country. If someone really dares to cause trouble, they will be exiled or sent to the army at first, and in the worst case, they can be sentenced to death.

For extremely vicious people, the sergeants here even have the power to kill them on the spot. These troops are just to protect the order of the examination room.

As soon as the official said this, the scene became even quieter, and even those who wanted to cough had to hold it back.

The candidates lined up. It was quite a sight to see 3,000 candidates standing together, and they were all packed in big and small bags, just like they were fleeing for their lives. Then many government officials came out, set up desks, and divided the candidates into three rows.

, began to check packages and search people, and there was a green-robed official in charge of each table.

The rural examination is different from the college examination. The rural examination is a formal national examination. The chief and deputy examiners are sent from Beijing. Jiangnan has always been a major imperial examination province and attaches the most importance to it. This year, the person in charge of the Jiangnan rural examination is Xie Mingtang, a Hanlin bachelor, and the deputy examiner is the Minister of Rites.

Chen Yao.

Cui Shanfu, who is studying politics in Jiangnan, is only one of the examiners. There are four examiners in Jiangnan Examination Institute.

In addition, there are supervisory officers, promotion officers, supervisory officers, and closing officers, all of which are countless times stricter than the formal college examinations.

After all, this is an examination for selecting officials. Those who succeed in the examination are already considered officials. If they do not want to continue to take the examination, they can report to the Ministry of Personnel to fill the vacancy.

The inspection began. Qin Guan saw from a distance that the inspection this time was indeed much stricter. All the things brought had to be checked and all the blankets were spread out. If it was a double-layered one, the yamen officials would even take out the tops and directly

Cut it open from the side and look inside clearly.

"Sir, someone is escorting you."

In the quiet venue, someone suddenly said loudly, and everyone's eyes suddenly focused on it.

I saw a government official holding a pamphlet no bigger than a palm and presenting it to the supervisor, while a student next to him was so frightened that his face was pale and trembling like chaff.

The supervisor's face was as dark as water. He flipped through the booklet in his hand, looked at the candidate and said, "What else do you have to say."

"Student, the student just accidentally left the booklet among the test preparation materials." The examinee said tremblingly.

The supervisor stared at the examinee sharply and shouted loudly: "In a moment of carelessness, if you didn't intentionally cheat, how could this booklet, which is specially used for cheating in the examination room, appear in your hands."

"If it is left unintentionally, will it be left on the innermost layer of the thin quilt?"

After a few words, the examinee was speechless. The supervisor stopped talking nonsense with him and shouted: "Come here, suppress such a cheating examinee. Wait until the end of the examination and then hand it over to the government office for processing."

Immediately, two government officials came up, like catching a chicken, they held the examinee down and helped him out. The examinee still refused to give up, struggling and crying: "Sir, I really don't want to cheat, I do.

Unintentional, unintentional.”

The screams made all the students present moved and felt sad.

People know that after that candidate is finished, not only will he be banned from taking the imperial examination in the future, but his current status as a scholar will definitely be revoked. For a person who wants to advance through the imperial examination, the rest of his life will basically be ruined.

There is no hope.

"Click".

A soft sound reached Qin Guan's ears.

Qin Guan looked down and found that there was a pamphlet at his feet. It was exactly the same as the pamphlet that the examinee had just found.

Qin Guan turned his head in surprise and found a student behind him, his eyes wandering to the sky, as if he wanted to tell everyone that the thing on the ground had nothing to do with him.

Qin Guan cursed in his heart, "The level of this performance is too poor. At most, it is the level of a big stage for weddings, weddings, and weddings in the countryside."

The inspection continued, this time the yamen officers inspected more carefully, and the scene became quieter.

Although the three thousand people were inspected in three groups, they still moved slowly, and the team moved forward like a turtle crawling. Suddenly, Qin Guan felt a wave of malice coming from behind. He turned around and saw that in another team, he was

A pair of eyes full of hatred stared at him.

When Qin Guan turned his head, the two of them happened to look at each other. It was Liu Su and Liu Chunyuan.

The two were more than ten meters apart, and there was a group of people in between, but Qin Guan could still feel the other's deep malice.

Damn it, did I kill your father or rape your mother, do you want to hate me so much? You have been cheating on me before, but since you haven’t fought back yet, you have started to hate me.

No wonder the sage said, "A villain grows angry." He is probably referring to people like Liu Su. If there is nothing wrong, he can be angry by himself, and he will not be afraid of premature aging.

Qin Guan gave Liu Su a contemptuous and provocative smile, made a silent mockery of him from a distance, and then ignored him.

There's no point in teasing with him. When I find the opportunity, I'll fuck you all at once.

After standing for nearly an hour, it was finally Qin Guan's turn. Qin Guan handed the test card to the supervisor for inspection, and handed the suitcase and package to the Yamen officer for inspection.

"Qin Guan, eighteen years old, from Hangzhou Prefecture, fair-faced and beardless, five feet seven inches tall, with a medium build."

After watching the examination, Supervisor Linguan looked at Qin Guan and said, "Qin Guan, is this the Qin Guan and Qin Shaoyou who wrote 'Magpie Bridge Immortal'?"

Qin Guan bowed, "It's the student."

Supervisor Linguan's expression softened a lot, he nodded, and returned the examination card to Qin Guan without saying anything else.

This is the benefit of reputation, even the examiners look at you differently.

A government official came forward and began to search him.

The two government officials took out everything in Qin Guan's suitcase and inspected everything. They separated the food, opened the box, and inspected it very carefully. But it was the two mobile phones that Qin Guan cared about the most. The two government officials just checked them.

, didn't find anything the same, so he put it back in the box of pen, ink and inkstone, and didn't pay any more attention to it.

This also relieved Qin Guan's tense heart.

Qin Guan's two thin blankets suffered a disaster. A large hole was made directly from the side. He carefully inspected the inside and almost took out the cotton wadding inside.

After finally completing the inspection, Qin Guan packed up his things and prepared to enter. Suddenly he remembered something, turned to look at his eldest brother Qin Wei, who was still in the team, and shouted: "Brother, I'm going in for the exam. Brother, you have to work hard."

In fact, Qin Wei had been looking at Qin Guan. Qin Wei smiled and said, "Second brother, you must also pay attention to the exam."

"I know."

As soon as he said these two sentences, a yamen servant immediately scolded him: "Don't make any noise, hurry up and enter."
