Chapter 503 Everything is clear
Qiao Xin, a fourth-grade clerical official in the Hanlin Academy. Since Wang Kang was appointed as the chief official of the imperial examination and came to the Hanlin Academy, he has served as Wang Kang's adjutant.
This man is thirty-seven years old and has always obeyed Wang Kang. He takes care of daily life and all kinds of chores.
When they met for the first time, Wang Kang recognized the person's identity through his golden finger and knew his secret, but he didn't care.
This in itself does not conflict with him.
Qiao Xin came from a wealthy family, and things like this were not uncommon in the early years.
But gradually he discovered the problem,
It stands to reason that Qiao Xin was admitted to the Hanlin Academy by Bai Bo, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and he is considered one of his, but there is basically no communication between them on weekdays, as if they don't know each other.
Even if it is to avoid suspicion, there is absolutely no need to do this.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster,
Wang Kang always believed this,
From the time he presided over the imperial examination, Shen Yuanchong's various abnormal reactions are enough to illustrate this point.
He has been paying close attention, but has not found any clear trends.
It wasn't until today that he figured everything out!
The first confirmed candidate was editor Zhuo Qianhe, which he discovered through interpreting his identity.
So Wang Kang kept watching secretly and didn't find any clues.
And tonight, an unexpected fire incident occurred, and he finally decided on another candidate, Hanlin Bachelor, Bai Bo!
This is what Wang Kang least expected,
Hanlin bachelors, with official rank of the third grade, are all well-educated people and set examples of literati!
Having a majestic spirit and being upright throughout his life is what outsiders say about Hanlin bachelors.
When all the test questions were closed, he first asked to mark them, which was normal.
And he also prepared his own pen and ink in advance,
Not long after, Zhuo Qianhe also helped, and also brought his own pen and ink.
Wang Kang noticed this because he was staring at Zhuo Qianhe,
According to his guess, there should be something wrong with the ink they used.
Two people made marks at the same time, using two kinds of ink.
A kind of painting will disappear when it goes out of time.
A kind of painting will appear out of date,
In this way, the one line in the main question becomes two lines, and the two lines in the preparation question become one line.
There are still risks after doing this, because the main topic and the preparation for the topic are separated. When you use it, if you pay a little attention, you will find the difference.
Therefore, they planned this fire again,
Taking advantage of the opportunity to look for books, it was night again, and Bai Bo suddenly fell down. Shangguan Yan panicked and missed, knocking over the candlestick and igniting a fire.
Wang Kang had made careful preparations in advance, and the fire would definitely not be able to burn in a large area.
But in this way their goal was achieved,
The burning study room is next to the place where the test questions are stored. As long as there is a slight fire, everyone will immediately think of saving the questions.
If you break in through the window, you will immediately move the question out. In this kind of panic, no one will notice the main topic or the order of preparing the questions.
What's more, it's a soldier who has never seen the problem before!
In this way, the question is completely changed without any sound!
The logic is smooth and no one will be exposed...
The main topic has become a preparation for the topic,
In this way, when you take the scientific examination tomorrow, you will get the wrong result. According to the rules set by Wang Kang in advance,
Usually, the test questions will be distributed before the candidates enter the venue and placed in the examination room in advance.
But Wang Kang changed this to avoid the risk of leaking the questions in advance. According to his previous life, he waited for the candidates to be seated and handed out the test questions just before the exam started.
When it was issued, there were more than 5,000 candidates taking the test at the same time, and many invigilators did not know what the real questions were?
The package will be opened directly and shipped.
By then, it’s too late. There are so many candidates. You said the wrong test questions were issued and the scene was chaotic. Isn’t this child’s play?
At that time, Shen Yuanchong, who was the supervisor, suddenly took action. For the sake of the overall situation, even he had to proceed as planned...
The main topic originally proposed by the reform has become useless.
Transformed into the biggest joke!
This is Shen Yuanchong’s real conspiracy!
And I'm afraid it's more than just that...
Wang Kang’s thoughts are clear and everything is clear,
Thinking of this, he stared at Qiao Xin and said coldly: "When the fire broke out just now, you took advantage of the chaos to leave Yushu Pavilion. Besides looking for me, who else did you see?"
Qiao Xin said hurriedly: "I haven't met anyone, so I went to find you directly."
"It's not that you don't know the rules and regulations of the scientific examination. Before the end of the scientific examination, you can only stay in Yushu Pavilion and can't see anyone. It's not that you don't know!"
Wang Kang shouted coldly: "Besides, how did you know that I just came back to Hanlin Academy?"
"You come back at this time every day, why is it weird?"
"If you are still quibbling, I will make you speechless!"
"boom,"
At this moment, the house was pushed open, and Wei Ting, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, walked in.
He said: "The matter you asked me to investigate has been found out,"
"Just say it,"
Wei Ting looked at Qiao Xin and said, "When he was going out just now, someone saw him meeting Hanlin official Li Hu."
Hearing this, Qiao Xin's pupils shrank, his face became a little flustered, and then he said: "We just met each other, but we didn't say anything."
Wang Kang asked: "Where is Li Hu?"
Wei Tingdao: "I went to look for Li Hu, but he said he has resigned. I have arranged for someone to look for him."
Wang Kang shook his head, fearing that it was already over...
Then he focused his eyes on Qiao Xin and said coldly: "Keep him in secret custody."
"This?" Wei Ting paused for a moment,
Qiao Xin's expression changed even more, and he said hurriedly: "I am a fourth-grade clerk of the Hanlin Academy, what right do you have to imprison me?"
"Someone is coming,"
Seeing that he was about to shout, Wang Kang stepped forward, crossed behind him, and directly sealed his mouth, and then he hit him hard with his knee!
Qiao Xin knelt forward directly,
In just a moment, Wei Ting took it down before he could react.
"Hurry up, if something happens, I'll take care of it!"
Wang Kang gave a sharp shout and woke up Wei Ting. He also took action. The two of them worked together to tie Qiao Xin with a rope and gag him.
“Uh, uh”
Qiao Xin struggled with fear in his eyes, but to no avail.
Wei Ting looked at Wang Kang in surprise and said curiously: "You still have a few more moments,"
"That is,"
Wang Kang replied proudly, after all, there is also a martial arts master in his family, and there is also a master like Li Qingman. He is able to learn a few moves from his ears and eyes.
"But is it really okay if we tie him up?"
Wei Ting asked: "Do you suspect that he leaked the question?"
"right,"
Wang Kang looked solemn. If Qiao Xin really had a problem, then he would take advantage of the fire and go out during the chaos to leak the problem.
One ring within another,
As expected of the Marquis of Huaiyin, Shen Yuanchong is really powerful. He can control so many people silently, and all the strategies are based on rules made for him.
If he hadn't had the ability to decipher identities as an aid and his keen investigation, I'm afraid he really wouldn't have been able to discover it...
Wei Ting said hurriedly: "What should we do? I will catch that Li Hu right away."
"I'm afraid it's too late,"
Wang Kang said in a deep voice: "They have a careful plan for a long time. After a while, the questions should have been sent out!"
"But it doesn't matter. This time I will let them draw water from a bamboo basket and get nothing..."
