Zeng Yu was very hesitant for a moment: If he followed the clues and found out the mastermind of the hospital's fraud test, it would definitely be very unfavorable to Huang Tixue. Will it affect his own re-examination results? But if he waited and ignored, the fraud would not have been gone without it, and it would be calm. The matter was always there. Lie Licheng is a child of an official and was humiliated in public by the ignorant Cai Shourong. Lie Licheng naturally insisted on pursuing a thorough investigation. If Yuanzhou Prefecture was just the last stop of the Jiangxi Academy Examination this year, the situation would be easy to control, but there were five prefectures behind Yuanzhou, Linjiang, Ji'an, Nan'an, Ganzhou and Jianchang. The rumors of fraud would be spread more and more fiercely, and would eventually lead to investigations by the Jiangxi Road Censor and the Censor. At that time, I was afraid that Huang Tixue would not only suffer from his reputation, but also throw away his black hat.

Jing Yi didn't know what Zeng Yu was frowning and thinking, and shouted: "Jiuli, let's go first. If Cai Mazi knew you were here, there would be something more to say."

Zeng Yudao: "Wait a minute, wait a minute."

Le Licheng and Cai Shourong's slandering battles over there. Le Licheng scolded Cai Shourong for being a miscellaneous, and Cai Shourong scolded Le Licheng for being a squinted eye. The slaves on both sides were ready to take action.

Zeng Yu said to Jing Yi: "Brother Yuanzhi, you go and persuade Liesheng to get rid of it. This kind of argument is of no use. If Cai Shourong is really cheating, you can try to find out. There is no need to argue with Cai Shourong in the street like this. We will meet in Xiujiang Teahouse next to the Confucian Temple later."

Jing Yi squeezed into the crowd to persuade the fight. Le Licheng was furious and shouted to go to see the master with Cai Shourong now. Seeing who was good at writing the eight-part essay, how could Cai Shourong be willing to compete with Le Licheng and sneered: "As the saying goes, 'Don't talk about your fate under the window, no matter how essays are in the field', wealth and fame are all destined, and you can't fight for it. Lie Tongsheng, Lie Xiaoyou, let's last three years, hahahaha." He laughed a few times and left with a few servants.

Zeng Yu Zhuliu followed quietly behind, and saw Cai Shourong calling a cold sedan chair and sitting. Four healthy servants followed the sedan chair eastward, bypassing the Confucian Temple, Yuanzhou Guards, and Taxation Department. After traveling for more than three miles, he came to Baoen Temple in the northeast of the county town, and the cold sedan chair stopped-

Zeng Yu quickly walked to the gate of Baoen Temple when Cai Shourong paid the sedan chair and read the inscription. After a while, Cai Shourong brought a servant into the temple gate, but only looked around in front of the Buddhist temple. After waiting for a while, a Taoist Master of the Fireworks came over to salute Cai Shourong. Cai Shourong's servant followed the Taoist Master around the hall and walked backwards. Zeng Yu walked around the other side of the hall and watched Cai Shourong follow the Taoist Master to the Vajra Hall. A middle-aged man wearing a scarf came out of the hall and rewarded the Taoist Master of the Fireworks for a few cents. The Taoist Master of the Fireworks went to the back hall to do some work.

Zeng Yu saw that the middle-aged man had a face, not the flat nose he had seen before. It seemed that there were several people who were cheating. However, when Cai Shourong said a few words to the man who was in this scarf, he asked the servants around him to hand a heavy cloth bag to the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man supported the cloth bag with three fingers and looked in his hand. He held it in his palm and weighed it, nodded, put it in his waist, and bowed to Cai Shourong with a smile. Cai Shourong also bowed, as if he had said "two cleared", so he took his servant back. The man in the scarf was still standing in place. Seeing Cai Shourong around the hall, he turned around and walked deep into the temple. After passing Guanyin Hall, he suddenly turned left. There was a small path. At the end of the path was a small door. The man in the scarf came out of Baoen Temple.

When Zeng Yu followed him, the fire master was about to close the door. Zeng Yu pointed out outside the door and muttered, and the wind was on his feet, and he went out. There was an open space outside the door. Then there was a city wall. Under the wall, there were several unkempt beggars enjoying the cool air, and the middle-aged man wearing a scarf had already walked around the back of the temple.

Zeng Yu chased after him, but saw that behind Bao'en Temple was the City God Temple. The man went straight to the City God Temple and never looked back all the way. He obviously had no spy war qualities and did not have the ability to counter-reconnaissance. There was an inn behind the City God Temple, known as Donghu Inn. The man entered the inn and did not come out for a long time.

The sun was very sunny. Zeng Yu stood under the big locust tree behind the Chenghuang Temple for a while, and bought a bowl of herbal tea from the old woman selling herbal tea under the locust shade. He was about to go into the store to check it out, but he saw the man with a scarf coming out. There was another person next to him, who was the flat nose. The two of them were talking and laughing, and went to a restaurant near the Chenghuang Temple to drink.

Zeng Yu did not delay any more, and rushed back to the teahouse next to the Confucian Temple. Jing Yi was waiting for him and said anxiously: "Where have you been, Jiuli, Liesheng led a few Confucian scholars to the examination room and said he wanted to appeal to the master-"

Zeng Yu said: "Brother Yuanzhi, we will also go to the examination room. I have something to report to the master in person."

The two of them rushed to the examination room and saw that the dragon gate was wide open. The lobby of the examination room center was closed. The voices of the Shenming Pavilion beside them were noisy. Thirty or forty people gathered around the pavilion and asked the master to thoroughly investigate the fraud in the subject. Lie Licheng's voice was the most high-pitched and angry. When Zeng Yu went over to see, he saw that the staff standing in the pavilion and listened to Lie Licheng and others complained that Huang Tixue's aide, with a short figure and a big ear. He was the staff who named Huang Tixue in the lobby on the day of the exam. This person had a loud voice and said with a serious face: "Don't listen to rumors and make mistakes for the future. The students admitted to the master have their own opinions. You are good at spreading rumors and ruining the reputation of the master. Once the master gets angry and cuts your academic status, you will not be able to take the exam for the rest of your life. It will be too late to regret it."

As soon as this was said, many Confucians complained less. If they failed this subject, they would still have the next subject, but they would not be able to take the exam for the rest of their lives. This life would be abolished. Lie Licheng became more and more annoyed and shouted: "I will take Cai Mazi's turban even if I try my best to take the exam for the rest of my life. If the master does not take the lead for us, I will go to Nanchang to appeal to the censor. If I fail, I will go to Beijing to Dengwengu to file a lawsuit!"

When Lie Licheng spoke, he stared at the staff member, and naturally looked despised. The staff member was furious and said sternly: "Come on your name, I will ask the master to punish him severely. You can't even think about going to school in this life."

Lie Licheng was also young and vigorous, and did not show any weakness. He responded: "The surname and name Licheng were the first to be the young secretary of the Hanlin Academy in Nanjing."

The aide heard that Lie Licheng was a child of an official, and his tone was gentler and said, "Since you are from the Guanying family, you should abide by the laws and regulations, respect your teachers and be a role model for all students. How can you rumor and incite all students to cause trouble?" He said to other Confucian scholars: "You all retreat and leave Lie Sheng to speak here."

Lie Licheng shouted: "Don't leave, don't leave. If you don't see the Grandmaster today, you will never leave."

Zeng Yu knew that this was not easy to be good, so he turned around and ran towards the lobby. There were two soap clerks guarding him in front of the lobby, and a clerk looked at Shenmingting.

Zeng Yu recognized this clerk. That day, after the examination paper was handed over by the school, it was the clerk who chased out of the lobby to spread Huang Ti's words. He hurriedly said, "Students want to see Huang Ti's lessons. Please inform me. Huang Ti's lessons asked the students to see him later after the exam was released. Isn't that the day the clerk passed the words to me?"

The clerk looked at Zeng Yu, had some impression, and said, "Did you ask you to come to see you today?"

Zeng Yudao: "That's right."

The clerk said: "Mr. Xuezheng was about to go to the government office, but was blocked by these candidates who failed the exam. Then I will go in and inform you if the adults want to see you."

Zeng Yu said: "Please tell the master that Zeng Yu has a way to let these troubled candidates disperse."

The clerk looked back at Zeng Yu, hurried into the lobby through the side door, came out for a moment, and said to Zeng Yu: "Please follow me."

Zeng Yu followed the clerk to the lobby. Huang Guoqing, deputy envoy of Jiangxi Tixue, dressed in the fourth-rank civil servant Yun Yan's tunic, sat in the hall. Several assistants, staff, and officials were with him. Zeng Yu stepped forward to greet him. Huang Tixue frowned and said, "Zeng Yu, let you come to see me tomorrow. What are you doing now?"

Zeng Yu said: "Please let the master retreat. Students have the difficulties to report to the master. The matter involves the student's private affairs. Students do not want others to know about it. Please understand."

Huang Tixue was blocked by the troubled candidates, and he was in a bad mood. The clerk came to report that Zeng Yu had a way to let these candidates go away. He thought that Zeng Yu was going to say this, so he said, "Why do you need to retreat, but it's okay."

Zeng Yu bowed and said, "Please understand the students' hidden secrets."

Huang Tixue pondered for a moment, and the assistants and staff around him stood up and left. The main hall of the lobby was soon left with only Huang Tixue and Zeng Yu. Huang Tixue disagreed and shook his head and said, "Zeng Yu, what do you have to say?"

Zeng Yu said: "The student just passed by the Shenming Pavilion and heard a candidate shouting to go to Nanchang to accuse the fraud case of the imperial examination with the inspector. The student was very worried about the master."

Huang Tixue smiled: "Every time the exam is released, there are always some candidates who fail to take the exam and are crazy. It is not surprising that if he really wants to sue, he will let him go. Can't he get into school after making trouble?"

Zeng Yu said: "Master Rong Bing, the rumors about fraud in the college examination this year are not limited to Yuanzhou. Students heard about it when they were in Guangxin Mansion. Also, the students arrived in Yuanzhou on May 29th. They entered the city to see the examination room at dusk that day, but they met a person who asked the student for 50 taels of silver and guaranteed the student to go to school-"

Zeng Yu retelled the conversation with the flat nose that day to Huang Tixue. Huang Tixue listened intently and finally smiled and said, "This must be a liar. There are always traitors who take advantage of the big exam to try to cheat people in troubled waters. By the way, were the yelling candidates outside cheated on money but were not named on the list so that they caused trouble?"

Zeng Yu said: "Master, things are probably not that simple." He said one by one what he saw when he released the results today, and what he saw at Baoen Temple following Cai Shourong, and finally said: "The master is kind to the students, but the students really can't bear to be deceived by the traitor and ruin his reputation. Instead of making trouble for the general and being investigated by the censor and the censor, it is better for the master to thoroughly investigate himself to eliminate future troubles and repair the problem. It is not too late."
