After the examination of the Ministry, the marking work is in full swing. The results of the examination will be announced in a few days. Time is tight, and the examiners of the Ministry have all been working day and night to mark the examination.

"Lock the hospital to prevent missing questions, search and check to prevent entrainment; invigilance to prevent peeking, cover the name and copy the joints; inseparate the curtains from collusion, examiners avoid to prevent favoritism."

Under the leadership of Xu Jie, this examination strictly abides by the above examination rules and takes other measures to prevent fraud so strictly that it almost exhausts all means.

However, even the most precise firewall has loopholes.

On the first day of the imperial examination, our deputy examiner, Comrade Yan Maoqing, was on a routine inspection tour, and finally saw the attractive young comrade who was recommended by Comrade Yan Shifan last time in his hometown of Yan Ge. This young man is not an ordinary person. His father Ouyang Bijin is the brother-in-law of Master Yan Ge, who is the governor of the rich Guangdong and Guangxi. I heard that Master Yan Ge intends to betroth the second lady to Comrade Ouyang.

After Comrade Yan Shifan introduced him, he pointed at Comrade Ouyang Xiao and asked Yan Maoqing casually: Do you have the temperament of a top student?

Comrade Yan Maoqing naturally understood it. If Comrade Ouyang Xiao is the top scorer, he would definitely pass the exam, and it would be necessary to do so.

In addition, the reason why our deputy examiner, Comrade Yan Maoqing, was deeply impressed by Comrade Ouyang Xiao because Comrade Ouyang Xiao was very eye-catching. At the banquet, he said casually that it was inconvenient to use the urination device at home. As a result, in the evening, a set of pure gold urination device was sent to the house. This set of urination devices, including seven or eight gold and platinum urination devices.

The deputy examiner Comrade Yan Maoqing discovered Comrade Ouyang Xiao, and Comrade Ouyang Xiao also naturally saw Comrade Yan Maoqing, after all, he had been staring at him.

"If you don't answer questions well, what do you think?" The clerk who followed Comrade Yan Maoqing to inspect the exam saw Comrade Ouyang Xiao keep staring at the exam, and couldn't help but shout softly.

Comrade Yan Maoqing slightly reached out to stop the accompanying officials. While waved his hand indifferently, he said lightly, "Yu Xiuzai, Yu Xiuzai." He said several times, and then led the inspectors to continue walking forward.

Yu Xiuzai. It means nothing. Comrade Yan Maoqing said Yu Xiuzai, which means not to care about the casual officials. Comrade Yan Maoqing is very polite. Can the candidates just look at it? It is not difficult for the candidates to make any trouble. If the big things turn into small things, don’t worry about them anymore.

How about rest, how about rest

After everyone left the tour, our Comrade Ouyang Xiao was overjoyed. He just saw the gesture implicit when Comrade Yan Maoqing waved his hand. Yu Xiuzai, Yu Xiuzai, and Yan Maoqing said Yu Xiuzai, who was difficult to speak several times, and the meaning was obvious.

So when Comrade Ouyang Xiao used the three words "Yu Xiuzai" many times as a tone.

The precise test firewall set up by Xu Jie, from this moment, a loophole appeared from inside.

The marking work is in full swing, and the examiners responsible for recommending the papers are reading the red papers of the imperial examinations day and night. The black papers of the test papers are already full of colors; time is pressing, and there are many volumes. In addition, the chief examiner Xu Jie has strict supervision, and the examiners have worked harder and more.

A co-examination examiner who was suffering from the marking of the paper suddenly lit up when he was marking the paper. It was not that the test paper was so exciting, but because there were several exclamations of "Yu Xiuzai" on this test paper.

The examiner was secretly happy and showed no expression on his face. He reviewed and recommended it to the two examiners.

When Yan Maoqing saw this test paper with several "Yu Xiuzai" tense heart, he finally let go of his heart. He could finally give an explanation to Master Yan.

"Hehe, Lord Xu. It's better to take a break for a while than to mark the paper for several days." Yan Maoqing greeted Xu Jie, who was sitting opposite him with a smile.

“Okay.”

Xu Jie put down the test paper in his hand and stretched his body slightly. After all, he was almost fifty years old and he couldn't accept his old age. After marking the papers for a few days, he felt sore and had no place to feel comfortable all over.

"I wonder if Lord Xu has discovered Huiyuan's work?" Yan Maoqing rubbed his arm and asked Xu Jie every day.

"There are a few good ones, but I have never met Huiyuan's talents. Why, Lord Yan has encountered Huiyuan's works?" Xu Jie asked Yan Maoqing with a smile on his face.

Yan Maoqing was waiting for this sentence.

"I've really been so serious about Lord Xu. I just read a test paper, which made people's eyes shine. I haven't seen such a beautiful article in several years." After hearing Xu Jie's question, Yan Maoqing stood up with a smile and handed Xu Jie the one he had just read with several Yu Xiuzai's test papers.

"Mr. Xu, please see." Yan Maoqing handed the test paper to Xu Jie with both hands.

Xu Jie took the test paper and sat on a chair and quietly flipped through the test paper. His writing style was OK and his article was in depth. As he looked at it, Xu Jie discovered the mystery in this test paper. Yu Xiuzai and Yu Xiuzai did not need to be used in Xiuzai's place. This test paper actually used several Yu Xiuzai in a conspicuous position.

"It's the first time I've seen such a good article in so many years." When Xu Jie was flipping through the test paper, Yan Maoqing favored this article.

Xu Jie didn't say anything, patiently finished reading the test paper, counted Yu Xiuzai's numbers, and then turned his gaze to Yan Maoqing and looked at it for a long time.

"Mr. Xu, how about this test paper?" Yan Maoqing understood what Xu Jie meant in his eyes, but asked with a smile on his face, "Before he was admitted to the tribute tuition, Lord Yan also told me to do the job fairly, and told me to assist Lord Xu in hosting this test well, and all things should be based on Lord Xu."

Yan Maoqing believed that Xu Jie was a smart person and would definitely understand what he meant.

If it were the previous one, Xu Jie would definitely dismiss the test paper without hesitation, and perhaps a fraud case for the imperial examination was found. However, after the Xiyuan incident a few days ago, Xu Jie understood that although he was the Minister of Shang, his thighs could not even twist Yan Song's little finger. So what if you are arrogant for the time being, what would happen to King Fuchai of Wu?

“This volume is very good.”

After thinking for a moment, Xu Jie's voice came faintly.

After saying that, Xu Jie put the test paper on the table with a normal expression, took a pen, and wrote a big word "中" on it.

"Can you please click on Cao Yuan?" Yan Maoqing asked again.

"No hurry, it's still early, and most of the test papers have not been reviewed, so there is no need to hurry up." Xu Jie replied with a tepid look. (To be continued.)
