20. Cases of fraud in the imperial examination

There were four masters in the office room. Xu Yan used the corner of his eyes to confirm that Liang Wenqing and others did not pay attention to this place. He breathed a sigh of relief and secretly looked at the letter of help.

The letter was like reading notes, embedded in a blank space. The font was square, but the ink traces slightly dispersed. Perhaps, when the writer wrote the letter, a few tears fell on the pages.

He should be a young man, just like Xu Yan, who can enter and exit the library freely and care about the sufferings of the people. At the same time, he believes that those who can read this book must have good thoughts, so he will quietly entrust it here.

——The parents were wronged in the imperial examination fraud case. On the day of the execution, I will disclose the truth. If the truth has not been seen in the world, I have already encountered an unexpected accident. If a hero is willing to help me, I will give it to the treasures passed down from the world. July 1833 of the Dragon Calendar.

The above is the entire content of the letter of distress.

The Dragon Calendar is a parallel world chronology method. It is now the Dragon Calendar 1835. In other words, the unjust case occurred three years ago, involving a couple and their son.

Xu Yan grew up in the Crescent Dojo Temple and was a martial artist, not a scholar. He had never heard of fraud in the imperial examination, but Xu Yan still knew that the imperial examinations in Weiyang were divided into several levels, and the most critical palace examination was reincarnated every four years.

He raised his eyes quietly and found that Liang Wenqing and others were still not paying attention to this place. Xu Yan relaxed his body and tore off the pages of the book with a letter of help at a speed of lightning, preventing unexpected situations from happening.

Who is the writer?

What is his ancestral treasure?

If everyone is dead, how can you give them the treasures heirlooms?

He also said arrogantly that the treasures in the world are so great that he brags to the sky...

With all kinds of questions, Xu Yan put the information about the plague back to the library. Then he stood on the bookshelf on the other side to look for the case files of 1833.

I heard that Xinping County used to be in good condition, but there were also many cases stored. After reading for a long time, I finally found the "Corruption Cases of the Imperial Examination Palace Examination".

Xu Yan held the file with his left arm and quickly flipped through it with his right hand. The reason why he did not take the file to the office is to avoid being eye-catching.

Generally speaking, the fraud in the imperial examination occurs in the provincial examinations with lower specifications and provincial examinations. The palace examinations with the highest specifications are particularly rigorous and few loopholes, so it is difficult to have room for opportunists to play.

Moreover, although the consequences of the fraud case are serious, exile and other punishments are already the highest. Beheading the head like this can be considered as possession of a decay.

According to the case file records, in the palace examination in 1833, the candidates from Xinping County performed extraordinaryly. Later, after someone reported it, it was found that the questions of the palace examination were leaked, involving three candidates and two officials.

Judging from the name, the two officials, one man and one woman are likely to be the parents mentioned in the letter of help. As for the writer, they may not be among the fraud candidates, because the candidate's surname is different from the official involved in the case.

Concentrating his mind and calming down, Xu Yan quickly remembered the elements of the case, and then closed the file and put it back on the bookshelf carefully.

Unexpectedly, when he walked out of the library, he met Liang Wenqing who walked in from outside. The latter said flatteringly: "Hehe, why don't you get information this time?"

"I feel bored when I watch it for too long, so I'm going to go shopping in the yard." Xu Yan spoke a little hesitant.

"Is that true?" Liang Wenqing murmured in a low voice.

Xu Yan ignored him and walked out of the office room. There was a big yard outside the office room, with trees and flowers planted in the yard, and the faint fragrance came from the wind.

Reversal of the case?

This is a difficult question to make. If you guess wrongly, there must be grievances in this case, let alone the writer, who may have the same age and pursuit as Xu Yan.

He also studied the plague and also wanted to save the scorched earth continent from the attack of three disasters.

Similar feelings are more likely to arouse resonance.

However, he was involved in the fraud case in the palace examination. At that level, God knew what he would face. And what benefits could Xu Yan get while taking risks?

"I'm sure, can't find a treasure that can improve my cultivation in Xinping County?" Xu Yan asked in his mind.

[I have searched one by one with you, but there is really no.]

The system answered quickly.

From this point of view, the ancestral treasure of the letter writer may not be useful for Xu Yan, unless the treasure has left Xinping County early and is hidden in an unknown place.

"Pu ~"

Xu Yan raised his foot and kicked away the small stone in front of him. He thought that he had already tore off someone's letter of help, and his effectiveness was equivalent to an announcement of the list. At this point, just roll up your sleeves and do it.

After thinking about it, Xu Yan walked to the road, found a vendor, bought some things and asked about the fraud case that year.

He pretended to be careless, and the vendors also dealt with it casually.

——It is said that in Xinping County, the fraud case once caused a lot of storm. The two officials involved were the former magistrate of the government office and their wives. They had a pair of children. Unfortunately, the brother disappeared in the end and his sister became crazy.

The former judge...

It turned out that Dong Jie was demoted and replaced the position of the wronged person in the fraud case.

Xu Yan felt a turbulent heart, but he was calm on the surface. He found out the identity of the writer and continued to go back to work.

He did not file a fraud case for the imperial examination with any colleagues, but during dinner at night, Xu Yan told Su Qing from beginning to end. Su Qing half-joking: "It's not a relative or a reason, but it's a big deal to cause trouble for this, can it be blamed?"

Xu Yan shrugged: "Sooner or later, we will clear the seals and three disasters of the scorched earth continent, and we will sooner or later fight against the fairy and demon world. If we are timid in everything, it is better to disappear and wait for the Lianyun Mountain demon beast incident to be exposed."

"Isn't that just waiting to die?" Su Qing shook her head, "I must not sit still and wait for death. Since you accidentally encountered a letter of help, we will follow the clues we have at present to see what we will find."

"I think so too, check first and adapt to the situation." Xu Yan nodded in a slow motion.

...

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Xinping County launched a curfew. Xu Yan and Su Qing changed into black night clothes and sneaked in the moonlight.

Everything around was silent, and there was no other passerby except Xu Yan and Su Qing. Xu Yan was so excited that the spiritual source in his body was following Su Qing's footsteps. The moonlight was brighter tonight, and lights might flash across the streets, so the overall vision was not too bad.

"Where is the intersection ahead?" Su Qing asked in a low voice.

"Turn left, it will be there in twenty minutes." Xu Yan bit his lip lightly.

The destination of this trip is called Qiansui Temple, which is a very rare nunnery in Xinping County. After the former magistrate beheaded, his daughter Xing Hongxia was sent to Qiansui Temple by relatives, and there was no news since then.

"Is it useful to find a lunatic?" Su Qing was skeptical.

"Try it, just help me." Xu Yan replied in a deep voice.

Ding ~

The system map shows that Chitoseen Temple has arrived.

When I looked up, I saw the outline of the temple in a vague way. The wall blocking in front of me was about three meters high. Xu Yan stepped on the sole of his foot and jumped up to the wall at the same time as Su Qing.

Concentrating and calming down, the map showed more than a dozen highlights, but I don’t know which highlight belongs to Xing Hongxia.

"Let me find one room after another." Su Qing volunteered. This is a nunnery, so it is definitely more suitable for her to come to find it.
