If she had this funding, she would feel more confident in her heart.

"Got it!"

Just as the two were talking, a delicate figure walked in quickly and threw herself into Bai Su's arms.

"Husband, help me..."

The girl raised her head, revealing an aggrieved pretty face, and blinked her strange eyes, whoever it was, if it wasn't Hu Tan.

Bai Su stroked her hair, and couldn't help asking: "Didn't you go to preside over the imperial examination, why did you come back suddenly?"

Hu Yan's body paused suddenly, he raised his head, and said with aggrieved expression: "It's not because there is something wrong with the imperial examination."

Bai Su and Mo Xun at the side looked at each other, both of them showed surprise on their faces.

After all, after such a long period of development, the imperial examination has become an important channel for the imperial court to select talents without launching a war.

It is a very serious matter that something went wrong in such an important imperial examination.

Bai Su asked curiously, "What happened?"

Hu Tan's slender eyebrows were tightly frowned, and he said helplessly, "I found out that someone cheated in the imperial examination..."

She took a deep breath and told the whole story slowly.

It turned out that in order to test the abilities of her and Fu Su, Zheng Jie asked them to supervise some subjects of the imperial examination. Based on their performance, one of them will be selected to supervise the government in the future.

The imperial examinations that Hu Yan was in charge of included Daxia's laws.

This was originally just a trivial matter. Under normal circumstances, she just needs to walk around and return to her life.

But recently, there was a sudden leak of questions. Obviously, Ha hadn't started the imperial examination, some selected questions about the law were quietly spread, and some candidates had prepared their answers early.

Such a big thing happened suddenly, which made her not know what to do for a while.

After all, if my mother found out that there was such a big problem in the examination room supervised by her, then let alone competing with Fusu for the position of crown prince, it would be good if my mother didn't have her ears tugged for a while.

When Mo Xun heard that someone was cheating in the imperial examination, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in a daze.

Bai Su was stunned for a moment, but he wasn't too surprised.

After all, cheating in imperial examinations has never stopped since ancient times, but he didn't expect that someone would start to have crooked thoughts so early on?

However, cheating is convenient in the law, and it is normal.

This martial arts test is a competition of horseback riding, archery, and fighting head-on. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, there is no way to cheat even if you want to.

Who can fight and who can't can often be seen at a glance.

Only the assessment of the Great Xia Law is easier to fish in troubled waters.

As long as they don't cross-examine them carefully, who knows if they are really capable, or if they just memorized the answers to one or two questions.

Hu Yan continued: "Although I have asked Liu Ji and the others to prepare new exam questions, I haven't caught the person who leaked the questions so far."

"I'm very worried that there will be another accident. After all, if this is the first time to reveal the question, it will naturally happen the second time."

"Husband, what should I do?"

Bai Su stroked his chin and said, "Since we are worried about leaking the questions, then it's fine if we don't prepare the questions."

"I'm dying of anxiety, you're still teasing people."

"When did I tease you?"

Seeing Hu Yun's puzzled expression, Bai Su couldn't help but smile: "In the past, the subjects of the imperial examinations were decided early. In the few months before the imperial examinations, it is inevitable that there will be some wealthy businessmen and nobles who have good relationships with each other in private. .”

"In this case, even if you prepare ten exam questions, it is difficult to keep them secret."

"The best way to prevent leaking questions is not to prepare questions. A few days before the imperial examination, you close your eyes, draw a circle on the law, and assess these questions."

"If you commit the crime of theft, what should you do if you are under the age of fourteen?"

"As a woman, how should I punish the coachman who stabbed the carriage driver innocently with a knife?"

"You copy these exam questions and hang them on a big screen on the day of the imperial examination, so that the candidates present can answer the questions on the spot."

"Before that, if you didn't even know what the topic was, others would naturally have nothing to vent about."

Hu Yan stared blankly, and looked at Bai Su in disbelief.

This problem has troubled her for several days, and she couldn't think of a solution to it. She never expected that her husband would come up with a countermeasure in just an instant.

Bai Su continued: "This is just the beginning. In order to prevent someone from bringing the cheat sheet into the examination room in advance, all those who take part in the imperial examination are not allowed to bring anything with them."

"Whether it's clothes or food, it's not allowed to bring in."

"The imperial court will provide them with uniform clothes, food, and a shower.

"To prevent someone from copying the cheat sheet on their clothes, stuffing it into steamed buns, hiding it in the insole, rolling it up and stuffing it in the pen holder, or even copying it on their own arms and legs."

"We must send special personnel to strictly investigate and never give them a chance. At the same time, no one is allowed to leave the examination room until the end of the examination. In this way, cheating can be prevented."

He talked incessantly, and explained in detail all the possibilities of cheating.

Both Mo Xun and Hu Yan were stupefied, they looked at Bai Su with monster-like eyes, they didn't expect that there would be so many ways to cheat in this seemingly safe imperial examination.

Fortunately, Bai Su was on their side, otherwise, if Bai Su cheated in the imperial examination, it would not be easy for him to be a half-job.

Seeing the dull look of the two, Bai Su couldn't help but smile.

After all, things like cheating in exams keep pace with the times, and he has a lot of experience in cheating.

It is not an exaggeration to say that in his eyes, these people's methods of cheating are simply child's play, which is really not worth mentioning.

Chapter 280 Three Hu Yan's Reward

A few days later, the imperial examination began.

Outside the gate of the examination room, the crowd was bustling, and at a glance, it was dark and dense, with almost no end in sight.

Among them are scholars who came to take the exam, and pedestrians who came to watch the excitement.

After all, these scholars from all corners of the country gathered in Xianyang to gain fame. Such a scene is not something that you can see if you want to see it on weekdays.

"People are coming, people are coming..."

A burst of gongs sounded, which shocked these scholars involuntarily.

"Got it!"

The heavy courtyard door opened slowly, and a group of guards cleared the road for a passable road, standing on both sides to maintain order.

Liu Ji walked out in a black and red official robe.

Her big peach eyes swept over the faces of the scholars around her, and said with a smile: "The imperial examination has already started, please enter the examination room one by one according to your certificate..."

Chen Ping, who was in the crowd, was rubbing his hands together, letting out a sigh of relief from time to time.

It was already winter, and the morning was still very cold. Many people's faces were faintly blue, and their noses were almost running down.

While everyone was waiting one by one, there was a sudden noise in front of them.

"You... What are you doing with my dry food? This is my lunch today."

"According to Daliangzao's order, all scholars' clothes, food, pens, inks, papers and inkstones are specially provided by the imperial court, and nothing from the outside world is allowed to be brought in."

"No... no, how could you do this."

But no matter what the scholar said, Liu Ji didn't pay any attention to it, and waved his hand directly to ask the guards to take the things away forcibly.

Sure enough, it only took a moment.

The guard then handed over the steamed buns that had been spread out, and hid a rolled up note inside, with various cheat sheets written in tiny characters.

Liu Ji twisted the note with his fingers, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, as you expected, someone really hid the cheat sheet in it. What do you have to say now?"

The scholar's face turned ashen for a moment, and he was speechless, not knowing how to explain.

Liu Ji's peach blossom eyes glanced at the guard next to him, and ordered: "Pull him out, cancel the imperial examination quota, and those who cheat will not be allowed to participate in the imperial examination for life."

"Yes……"

The guard cupped his hands, directly lifted the scholar up and dragged him out.

After seeing the serious consequences of being arrested for cheating, some scholars with small thoughts had a layer of cold sweat on their foreheads, and they didn't dare to take a breath.

Some people squeezed their collars nervously, wanting to turn around and leave.

However, he found that the way of retreat had already been blocked by the guards, and there was no way of retreat at all.

Standing in the queue, Chen Ping glanced at Liu Ji with interest in his almond eyes.

I heard that Master Liu used to be a small Surabaya pavilion, the head of the pavilion, leaning on Bai Su...Bai's thigh, he has been promoted all the way, and now he has become the second in command of the Shaofu.

At first I thought it was just a stalker, but now it seems that this Mr. Liu is not simple.

First, he talked about a bunch of precautions for the imperial examination, so that the surrounding scholars could relax their vigilance, but in private, they quietly asked the guards to strictly guard the surroundings, and did not give the cheaters a chance to escape or hide the cheat sheet.

Obviously, it looks like a fool, but I didn't expect that when it comes to doing things, it is rough and fine.

"Chen Ping, are you from Wei..."

After Liu Ji checked the certificate and found that there was no problem, he asked Chen Ping to change into uniform clothes and walked into the examination room.

When Chen Ping came to her seat led by the guards, she couldn't help being surprised by the bursts of warmth that greeted her.

"This...there is still heating here."

"The imperial court is really generous."

"That's fine, I don't have to worry about the cold weather."

Scholars who entered the examination room were assigned to small cubicles. Although the space was not big, there were quite a few things that should be there.

Heating things, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, cushions for sitting, special oil lamps, and blankets for shelter from the cold. It can be said that although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs.

After all, those who can pass the township examination and come to Xianyang to take the imperial examination step by step can be said to be one in a million, and there are not many people who are full of effort.

Providing a suitable examination room for these people is naturally nothing to the imperial court with abundant treasury.

The inspection supervisor patrolled back and forth, and at the same time, people rolled out the huge scrolls rolled up one by one in the courtyard, which contained examination questions about the imperial examination.

"If you fail to send the escorted prisoners to the designated place within the stipulated time, how should you punish... Hey, why did you suddenly bring up this exam, don't you talk about exams and theft, and the appointment and dismissal of officials?" Son, after seeing this exam question, he couldn't help but look confused.

Relying on their family relationship, they once held a special banquet to entertain some officials, and inquired from them about the direction of the imperial court this year.

I specially learned how to answer at home, and memorized it by heart. I wanted to take this opportunity to gain fame, but unexpectedly, the exam questions suddenly changed.

Immediately, a scholar raised his hand and asked, "My lord..."

The patrol supervisor frowned: "What's the matter?"

The scholar said awkwardly: "My lord, is there something wrong? Why did you suddenly start the corvee examination and escort?"

The supervisor snorted coldly: "This is a special order from His Royal Highness Hu Yan. You just have to do the questions well, and if you dare to make innocent noises, I will regard you as giving up and expel you from the examination room."

"hiss……"

Everyone gasped suddenly.

Many of them have endured for three years for today. If they were expelled from the examination room, it would be a big loss.

For a while, no one dared to stand up and refute, and each of them could only bite the bullet and write down.

Among the Shaofu.

Bai Su and Hu Yan are playing chess.

After Hu Yan heard the situation in the examination room, his strange eyes could not help but light up.

She hugged Bai Su's arm happily, admiringly said: "Master, it is exactly as you expected, according to the way you said, it is almost right."

"How can such a small trick be fooled by my eyes, but in order to prevent cheating, the best way is to change a group of people every year and not let the fixed people come up with questions, otherwise it will be easy to breed after a long time. Fraud."

Bai Su rubbed his nose, but his expression was a little weird.

Just because Hu Yan put a pair of bright arms around his arm, the whole body of the slightly green girl, through the thin fabric, squeezed and deformed on his arm, feeling the scorching temperature, he couldn't help feeling distracted for a while.

Hu Tan sensed that something was wrong with Bai Su's expression, and looked down slightly.

Her fair little face flushed suddenly, but she still cuddled in Bai Su's arms, not showing any sign of leaving: "This is a reward for you..."

After finishing speaking, her strange eyes looked at Bai Su emotionally, and slightly raised her head, wanting to ask for a kiss.

Seeing such a delicate and beautiful girl, with green cheeks three points similar to Sister Zheng's, Bai Su's heart couldn't help beating violently, he subconsciously hugged her soft waist, and kissed her pink lips.
