Chapter 39 The Imperial Examination Fraud Case
Hearing what Qin Guan said, Qian Mao was also a little timid, and looked at Liu Su, who nodded coldly at Qian Mao.

Qian Mao became ruthless, he knew that if Qin Guan was not overthrown, the two brothers would jump into the lake today, lose all face, and might never be able to hold their heads up for the rest of their lives.

Seeing Liu Su nodding his head, he seemed to have a backbone, and immediately said: "With your talents, you must fail. I suspect that you are plagiarizing."

Qin Guan smiled coldly, "Qian Mao, if you lose the bet, do you use this method to play tricks? I advise you, don't play cheap casually, or you will hurt yourself."

"Hmph, Qin Guan, are you guilty? You have to go to the admiral Xuezheng to talk about it." Qian Mao's momentum became more and more vigorous.

The commotion in front of the examination hall was naturally seen by officials, and someone came over to scold at this moment, the examination hall was not allowed to make any noise, Qian Mao immediately stepped forward and said: "My lord, I want to sue someone for cheating in this imperial examination, please report to Mr. Xuezheng." .”

The official was stunned when he heard that, accusing him of cheating in the imperial examination is a huge matter, he dared not make the decision, asked about Qian Mao's situation, and said with a cold face, "We are all waiting here, don't continue to make noise."

Immediately ran to the Examination Institute to inform the admiral Cui Shanfu.

Cui Shanfu just got up at this moment, his face was still tired, but after hearing the people below report the situation outside, he immediately stood up.

"Somebody sue for fraud."

"It's a scholar named Qian Mao who sued Qin Guan, the last candidate in the Academy of Sciences examination." The official said.

When Cui Shanfu heard it, Qin Guan knew it.

He may not have a deep impression on other candidates, but he is deeply impressed by this Qin Guan.

After reading Qin Guan's test paper with Lin Zhifu yesterday, Cui Shanfu was annoyed that Qin Guan was talented but didn't work hard to practice calligraphy, and finally approved a line of words on Qin Guan's test paper,

"Just be the last one."

That is to say, no matter how many scholars are included in this subject and how they are scored, even if they are not as good as Qin Guan, Qin Guan can only be the last one.

It can be seen that he also hated Qin Guan's writing.

But when Cui Shanfu thought about it again, a wave of anger rose in his heart.

If the complaint is inconsistent with the first case, it is still possible, but the last one to sue, is the scholar named Qian Mao sick?

Putting on the official uniform, he led a group of officials and servants out of the gate of the examination institute. When people saw the admiral Xuezheng coming out, they automatically backed away, and the noisy scene was silenced.

Cui Shanfu was not angry but arrogant, scanned the dark crowd outside, and said loudly: "Whoever wants to sue the imperial examination for cheating, come in."

Qian Mao was also a little weak at the moment, but he couldn't back down now, so he walked over and gave Cui Xuezheng a deep bow, "Student Qian Mao."

Qian Mao didn't know why he got this far, he was very guilty.

"What are you suing for?"

Now that the matter has come to this, Qian Mao can only grit his teeth, bite the bullet and say: "The student sued Qin Guan for cheating."

Cui Shanfu frowned and asked, "Do you have evidence?"

Qian Mao stifled, "Student, the student knows that Qin Guan is ignorant and incompetent. Although he is a student of the Hangzhou government school, he has never studied hard, but he passed the exam this time. It must be because he cheated and plagiarized. Please learn." The political lord will check it out."

Fortunately, Qian Mao didn't say that Cui Shanfu was playing for selfishness, but that Qin Guan plagiarized himself.

Hearing this, Cui Shanfu smiled coldly, "Is this what you call evidence?"

Qian Mao heard that Xuezheng's tone was not kind, so he lowered his head and said, "Yes."

Officials are afraid of trouble, and it is best to be safe and sound. When the exams are held, there are clamors of cheating. There are 2000 people onlookers here. This is not a trivial matter.It would be fine if Qian Mao had real evidence, but Cui Shanfu was already annoyed at Qian Mao for daring to sue people based on subjective conjecture and making such a big commotion.

Cui Shanfu said to the left and right officials: "Come here, please invite the prefect of Hangzhou to come over, and then ask someone to put the case on the table. Today, I will publicly hear this major imperial examination fraud case outside the examination court."

Cui Shanfu pays more attention to the official reputation, and there are hundreds of candidates for this subject, and countless scholars with reputations as scholars, so they should not be underestimated.

Suing fraud is definitely a major case. Cui Shanfu has a clear conscience and is planning to have a public trial to cut through the mess quickly, so he created an on-site trial outside the examination court.

After setting up the tables and opening the place, the two groups of yamen servants stood on both sides, making it no different from the lobby of the yamen.After finishing all this, Prefect Lin Qilin also came over. On the way, he had already asked the reason and sat directly on the other side.

On the outskirts of the trial site, there were no less than 2000 Hangzhou scholars and ordinary people, crowded with people. This time, the incident really got bigger.

Cui Shanfu slapped the gavel and shouted: "Qian Mao, you sued Qin Guan for cheating in the imperial examination. Now I and the prefect Lin will hear the case. Do you have any objections?"

At this moment, Qian Mao's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and he bowed deeply and said, "The students have no objections."

"Okay then, tell me what you sued." Cui Shanfu said.

Qian Mao took a deep breath, organized his words, and said: "This time, Qin Guan, a student from Hangzhou Prefecture, and Qin Shaoyou also took the exam, and won the last place of the scholar. I used to be classmates with that Qin Guan, so we know This Qin Guan has a dissolute nature on weekdays, and he has never studied hard at all."

"Our teacher also said that Qin Guan is extremely stubborn and rotten wood cannot be carved, but this time he passed the examination of scholar, so the students think that this Qin Guan must have passed the exam by cheating, please My lord will check clearly."

After listening to Qian Mao's words, Lynch who was sitting in the hall also frowned.

Cui Shanfu ignored Qian Mao and slapped the gavel again, "Bring Qin Guan to the hall to confront."

Qin Guan knew that it was time for him to appear on the stage.

Although seeing this kind of scene for the first time, he was both fresh and a little nervous, but he kept his expression calm and strode out of the crowd.

"Student Qin Guan, I met two adults."

Both Cui Shanfu and Lynch saw Qin Guan for the first time. Looking at Qin Guan, he was not very old, but he was very handsome. Seeing that the two of them didn't show any shrinking, they had a bit of air. Looking at the previous poems, the two had a good first impression of Qin Guan.

Cui Shanfu said, "Qin Guan, your classmate Qian Mao sued you for cheating, you have something to say."

"Students did not cheat."

Qin Guan answered crisply, and that's the end.

Lin Qi and Cui Shanfu were also taken aback, Cui Shanfu asked: "Qian Mao sued you, do you have nothing to defend yourself?"

Qin Guan said with a righteous face: "The clear is from the turbid, and the turbid is from the turbid. I have no shame in my heart, and I am not afraid of others' accusations."

Anyway, he was not caught, and no one could do anything to him. What Qin Guan said was awe-inspiring.

Everyone thought he had finished, but Qin Guan spoke again, "My lord, actually, I can understand that Qian Mao sued me for cheating. We had a bet before that if I pass the exam as a scholar, he, Qian Mao and Qian Sheng, will be killed." If I want to go to the West Lake to jump into the lake, if I fail the exam, then I, Qin Guan, will be jumping into the lake."

　Brothers who read books, recommend tickets, collect them, thank you for the heavy rain.
