Ninth Grade Jailer: He actually went on a blind date with the leader of the Demon Cult at the beginn

A bell rang and the scientific examination began.

Li Nuo also walked to the examination room. Seeing the talented candidates writing vigorously, he felt quite emotional in his heart.

I think he came here like this back then...

But he was lucky and met a noble person - his mentor Jian Yuyan.

For these three thousand candidates, the imperial examination was like a huge army crossing a single-plank bridge.

Maybe you get your name on the golden list and see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day; or you lose your name in Sun Mountain and pack up your bags and go back to your hometown. I know the ups and downs in this process.

In fact, this first scene of [Jingyi] is nothing interesting, so it’s just a passing scene.

This test is the memory of the scholars.

If we still lose points in this game, then there is basically no hope of winning the Jinshi.

Li Nuo only made a rough inspection.

But just as he was about to return to the case room, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the papers on the desk in the examination room that had not been written down...

Hey, this is... Zheng Shengzhi, Qiluo's brother!

Li Nuo also asked someone to bring many precious books to Zheng Shengzhi.

Of course he won't miss this Spring Festival.

However, Li Nuo didn't pay attention to him. Even though he had met him before when he entered the examination room, Li Nuo still treated him as a stranger and didn't even say hello.

This is also to avoid suspicion.

But now I find that Zheng Shengzhi's expression is dull and he has been unable to write for a long time!

Something's wrong!

He personally tested Zheng Shengzhi's talent and learning. He was not said to be a top scholar, but he was definitely capable of becoming a high school scholar.

Li Nuo quietly launched the Jianxiaozhizhu. After this inspection, he immediately discovered the problem.

Scale poison!

This is a type of mental toxin. The poisoned person's nerves will be paralyzed, his reaction will be slow, and his memory will be messed up.

Li Nuo narrowed his eyes and felt murderous intent in his heart!

Obviously, someone didn't want Zheng Shengzhi to be a Jinshi in high school, so they used insidious off-site tricks.

Moreover, this is when he is the examiner!

He was about to use his internal energy to help Zheng Shengzhi remove the toxin, but as soon as he raised his head, he gave up the idea.

He can't do this!

Once you take action, it will be unclear.

He will be taken advantage of by someone who wants to, and then slander and frame him for cheating on exams!

What a sinister plot!

Li Nuo restrained his murderous intention and left as if nothing had happened.

The moment Li Nuo left, an examinee quietly raised his head, and the viciousness in his eyes turned into a deep sense of loss.

In several other examination rooms, similar situations also occurred.

Most of these poisoned candidates have a close relationship with Li Nuo.

Jiangnan Jieyuan Lu Zhishan, the prodigal son Cui Liyan, and many Lushan students...

Li Nuo returned to the case room, and not long after, several other deputy examiners from the Ministry of Rites who were in charge of inspections came in.

Master Li, do you have any orders?

Seeing Li Nuo's gloomy expression, they had no choice but to ask cautiously.

Li Nuo glanced at the four deputies and shook his head in disappointment.

It's not their doing.

Distribute a [Vitality Pill] to each candidate.

Li Nuo ordered.

Ah? Mr. Li, why is this?

The deputy examiner was confused.

Three consecutive exams, lasting two days and one night. Although the candidates are all talented, they are also working hard. In order to allow them to better demonstrate their abilities, we will provide them with [Vitality Pills].

Li Nuo explained.

Master Li is really kind-hearted. I will immediately comply with your orders.

Of course, the deputy examiner did not dare to disobey Li Nuo's order. Moreover, the distribution of [Vitality Pills] had happened in previous scientific examinations. There were rules to follow and it was not against the rules.

soon.

Each [Vitality Pill] was distributed one by one.

Zheng Shengzhi and others immediately swallowed it, and the medicine's power quickly dissolved, breaking through the shackles of the scale flower poison.

After regaining their consciousness, they immediately started writing down the meaning of the scriptures, but even so, they still came up with several questions.

Fortunately, nothing happened in the next [Poetry Forum] and [Policy Forum].

The next day, dawn.

The candidates handed in their papers one after another and walked out of the examination room.

There are those who are spirited and energetic, and there are also those who are ignorant.

Li Nuo didn't say much. After collecting the papers, he handed them over to the officials of the Ministry of Rites to re-write them and cover their names.

Two days later.

Ministry of Rites.

As the examiner, Li Nuo and four deputies reviewed the examination papers together.

Everything is in order.

There are 3,533 candidates for this subject, and 153 scholars have been selected.

The acceptance rate is only about 4%, which is indeed a bit low.

finally.

Twenty selected excellent examination papers were presented to Li Nuo. This is the authority of the examiner, who will determine the ranking of the top twenty.

Li Nuo reviewed it ten lines at a time, but his pen hung in the air and he did not give any rankings.

Sir, what's wrong?

The official from the Ministry of Etiquette asked.

The level of these papers is no problem for the Jinshi, but if you compete for the top twenty, they are still a little short of the mark. Are there any omissions?

Li Nuo shook his head.

The official from the Ministry of Rites replied: Sir, these are the twenty highest scores evaluated by the four of us.

Let me take a look at the thirty portions at the back.

Li Nuo ordered.

Soon, the next paper was also presented.

Li Nuo didn't read the meaning of the scriptures and poems, but looked directly at the final strategy.

really.

Many of the chapters are meaningful and even brilliant in some places. Totally to his liking.

This is right!

So without even thinking about it, he just put pen to paper and rated these examination papers as the top ten.

Sir, the [Sutra and Meaning] parts of these copies have not been completed, how can I be in the top ten?

An old minister said hurriedly.

Li Nuo said firmly: The ranking of the top ten will be determined by my decision. You can discuss the ranking of the others. Once all are approved, we will seal them and release the list at a selected date.

As ordered...

The old minister sighed.

He was afraid that the candidates would get into trouble if they found out, and they would also be implicated when the time came.

Not long after Li Nuo left the Ministry of Rites, he appeared in the Prince's Palace.

As soon as he entered the study, he slapped the table and said angrily: Why?

what why?

Du Yan put down the Confucian Classics in his hand, raised his head and looked at the angry Li Nuo, and said with a smile.

Li Nuo snorted coldly: Zheng Shengzhi and the others were done by you, right?

Du Yan was shocked: How did you guess it?

Hmph! If they had been poisoned earlier, they would have discovered it themselves. Therefore, there is only one chance for poisoning, to verify your identity before entering the examination room! This is a matter for the Ministry of Rites. Without the nod from you, the Minister of Rites, how can they dare? Isn't that disgusting? Will you live long?

Li Nuo said with a sad face, But I really didn't expect that it would be you!

Du Yan was not angry, but still smiled and said: You are still too young. Let me ask you, are Cui Liyan, Lu Zhishan and others the best among this batch of candidates?

Li Nuo nodded numbly.

Du Yan added: But they are all descendants of aristocratic families.

Li Nuo said coldly: What happened to the children of the aristocratic family? Shouldn't they be named on the gold list?

Du Yan pointed in the direction of the palace and said, But our Majesty wants to suppress the noble family.

Then why does Zheng Shengzhi...

Li Nuo was asking when he suddenly reacted.

Zheng Shengzhi can no longer be considered a poor student.

The case of the three villains in Anning Village has long been spread.

Zheng Shengzhi's identity naturally surfaced.

And with Zheng Qinwen as his consort, of course the Zheng family is no longer a poor family!

Do you understand?

Du Yan smiled.

But how is this different from cheating?

Li Nuo felt cold in his heart.

Don't forget, you are from a poor family too.

Du Yan stroked his beard and said, Why do you think His Majesty would agree to you marrying a princess? Isn't it just to set an example for poor families? Your Majesty wants to tell the world that a student from a poor family can also be a great minister and marry a princess. of!

The struggle between poor families and aristocratic families...

This made Li Nuo feel shaken.

But he quickly realized that he was in over his head...

No matter what door he is in!

As long as you can serve the country loyally, why bother distinguishing between this door and that door?

It's not that he's sick.

It is this court that is sick!

In other words, the emperor's method is a bit chilling.

A poor family can rise, but it cannot resort to tricks in the imperial examination.

I have already ranked Zheng Shengzhi first, Cui Liyan second, and Lu Zhishan third!

Li Nuo took a deep breath and said.

Du Yan shook his head: It doesn't matter. There is still a palace examination! As long as the number one scholar selected by His Majesty is a student from a poor family. Are there any other questions?

Different road non-phase plan.

Li Nuo shook his head and strode away.

At sunset, he returned to Chang'an.

Seeing that he was unhappy, Ye Qingyu walked up behind him, rubbed his temples for him, and joked with a smile: Why, is there anything else that can trouble the prince and grand master?

Hey, madam, you come to judge...

Li Nuo leaned back, half leaning in Ye Qingyu's arms, and told her about the scientific examination.

Ye Qingyu asked: Husband, do you think Dayin can be saved?

What do you mean?

Li Nuo said in surprise.

Ye Qingyu sighed: Husband, Dayin, or the current imperial court, is your constraint. It cannot be established until it is broken!

Li Nuo took a deep breath and couldn't help but turn around.

The lady is trying to persuade him to... rebel! Overthrow Dayin!

Why do you think so of the slave family?

Ye Qingyu chuckled.

Li Nuo: Madam...that's all. I'm a little tired of this court, so I don't care. In the next few days, I will take you to visit the mountains and rivers.

It's better to marry Qingyang first and then talk about it.

Ye Qingyu rolled her eyes.

It's a little awkward, this chapter is too much. Next is the battle between Western Chu and the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains in the north. At that time, the climax will come. Hmm, let’s go through the outline first.
