System Mission: Solve the Imperial Examination Fraud!
Hearing this news, Tidas's heart trembled, and his pupils suddenly constricted.
The imperial examination questions had been leaked?
In ancient times, cheating in the imperial examination could be light or heavy.
If it was exposed, the examiner would lose his position at the very least, and his head at the very worst!
The current emperor was Zhu Yuanzhang, and he was famous for killing ministers.
Zhu Yuanzhang also hated corrupt officials the most.
If Zhu Yuanzhang knew that the exam questions had been leaked, none of the examiners would be able to survive!
Tidas's mind popped up with countless tortures of Zhu Yuanzhang's punishment for corruption.
Open promotion.
Skinning the skin and planting the grass.
Intestine extraction and so on.
This kind of torture could make children stop crying, and corrupt officials would turn pale when they heard it.
Zhu Yuanzhang hated corrupt officials the most.
The exam questions were leaked because the examiner accepted bribes from the examinees and leaked the exam questions.
The examiner couldn't escape responsibility.
If Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't find the culprit, they would probably all be implicated and tortured.
Tidas thought to himself,"Can you give me another chance to wear it again?"
He kept complaining.
What was going on?
This was the first time he had encountered such a difficult problem.
Wasn't this forcing him to death?
He was an ordinary office worker who worked from nine to twelve before he transmigrated. After transmigrating, he had to take the blame. Whoever provoked him would have to take the blame.
Moreover, who was so stupid as to leak the questions?
Zhu Yuanzhang set so many punishments for corrupt officials to warn them, so there were very few corrupt officials in the early Ming Dynasty.
These examiners wouldn't risk the destruction of their families and reveal the exam questions just for the sake of the benefits given by the examinees, right?
If he really did that…
There was something wrong with their brains.
Although Tidas was curious about which stupid teammate did it, the most important thing now was to confirm whether the test questions had really been leaked. In addition, he also needed to think of a way to resolve this matter.
The faces of the examiners at the side instantly turned pale.
" The exam questions were leaked?!"
"How could the exam questions be leaked?"
"This jinx of mine, I have to slap myself a few times.”
A middle-aged examiner slapped himself a few times. His slaps were so heavy that it hurt his cheeks.
"Go and ask Lord Liu what happened first. Why would the exam questions be leaked out of nowhere? It might be a false alarm.”
Tidas suggested.
"Yes, yes, yes! Let's quickly ask Lord Liu. It might be a misunderstanding.”
The other examiners seconded.
Everyone went to the meeting hall.
The style of the meeting hall was somewhat similar to that of the examiner's room. The walls were hung with famous people's calligraphy and paintings, which were filled with the aura of a scholar. There was a long table in the middle, and the examiners sat beside the long table.
The head examiner, Liu Sanwu, sat in the main seat. He was wearing a red official robe, a leather belt at his waist, a jade pendant, and a crown on his head. His beard and hair were all white, and his face was full of worry. The wrinkles on his face were all wrinkled together.
He was nearly eighty years old.
He had been the chief examiner of the capital examination for several years.
He didn't expect that the Spring Quarter Examinations would bring him such a big surprise.
His heart, which had been with him for nearly 80 years, almost couldn't take it.
The other examiners were also worried.
When Tidas and the others arrived at the meeting hall, they saw that the solemn atmosphere seemed to have turned into a tangible dark cloud that enveloped the top of their heads, making them feel as if they could not breathe.
Creak--
The door of the meeting hall closed.
Liu Sanwu raised his head and looked around. Seeing that all the examiners had gathered, he said,
"Everyone already knows that the exam questions have been leaked, right?”
"Lord Liu, what exactly is going on?”
"How could the exam questions be leaked? This shouldn't be. Who is so bold?”
"Could there be a misunderstanding?"
Some of the officials couldn't sit still anymore and spoke up.
"Take a look and you'll know. Take those out.”
Liu Sanwu waved his hand and gestured to his subordinate beside him.
His subordinates placed notes, slips of paper, and other items on the table.
Liu Sanwu's turbid eyes revealed a trace of clarity as he secretly sized up all the examiners present.
The examiners picked it up to check.
The notes were filled with words the size of ants. They were the contents of the Four Books and Five Classics.
They were confused.
"Lord Liu, this is?"
"Why are you giving these to us?”
Liu Sanwu saw that everyone's expressions were normal, and he felt pity in his heart.
He explained,"
"These are what the soldiers found on the candidates who entered the examination. The contents inside are the answers to this year's examination questions.”
"Do you know what this means?”
"This means…"
"The exam questions have been leaked."
"If there was only one candidate with this cheat sheet and paper slip, we could guess that he was the one who got the question right. However, the soldiers have already found several candidates with almost identical cheat sheets and paper slips.”
As soon as he said this, the examiners hurriedly picked up the notes and slips on the table and carefully examined them.
"It's indeed the same!"
"Hiss!"
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became eerily quiet.
The exam questions were leaked.
It was their negligence.
This was a capital offense.
If Zhu Yuanzhang knew about this, he would definitely exterminate the family of the person who leaked the exam questions. The examiners would also suffer an undeserved disaster, be demoted or dismissed from their official positions.
"Who leaked it?”
"Doesn't he know that this is the death penalty for extermination? Not only him, but also us and our families will suffer together!”
"If I find out who leaked it, I'll definitely skin him alive!”
The examiners 'eyes turned red.
Liu Sanwu clasped his hands on the table, his gaze wandering around the examiners, his expression dark.
"The most important thing now is to think of a solution to deal with this crisis.”
"Currently, it has been less than an hour since the questions were released. We still don't know how many examinees participated in the fraud.
If this question is really released, we will really become one of the cheaters. You also know that His Majesty has always been greedy.
If he finds out about this, none of us examiners here will be able to escape. We will all be charged with cheating in the imperial examination.”
"I invited everyone here to brainstorm and let everyone think of a way.”
Tidas's entire body went numb.
"I didn't expect that there would really be a stupid teammate who would dare to risk the destruction of his family and leak the exam questions.”
"Who did it?"
He had a headache.
Now, there was only an hour left. If converted to modern time, it would be an hour or 60 minutes. This time seemed quite long, but it was also quite short.
Because even if he came up with a plan, he had to leave time to implement it.
The Imperial Examination could not be delayed, or the examinees would definitely be suspicious.
So-
Can you give me a chance to transmigrate again?
At this moment, the system's voice sounded.
"Ding!"
"System Quest: Solve the problem of cheating in the Imperial Examination!”
"Mission reward: Eidetic Memory!”
