In Jiuyou City, Yingwu had already captured Ding Chong, but a masked woman ruined the situation. At that time, the masked woman stabbed Ding Chong in the vital part with a flying arrow, killing him on the spot.The British widows returned to the capital and specifically asked Shen Zhishu to investigate the matter thoroughly. They only had one arrow that hit Ding Chong. There were exquisite patterns on the arrow, but there were several foreigners around who were watching eagerly, so they really couldn't be sure.The British widow gave Shen Zhishu a seal to make it easier for him to travel around and investigate.
Zuo Xiangguo had always disagreed with the British widows allowing women to take part in scientific examinations. In order to exert pressure, he even sent a plaque to the palace. The current intention was to remind the British widows that monarchs and ministers should not fall in love. The British widows ignored it and still accepted the order.Not only that, Zuo Xiangguo also asked the shortlisted candidates to go to the Jiaofang to take the examination. Only those who can withstand the training and assessment can count.
Meng Tinghui met Shen Zhili by chance when he was participating in the examination, and he just realized that the capital city is a land of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Shen Zhili came to pick up his sister in person. He felt sorry for his sister who worked so hard for the exam. In fact, she could have relied on the family's support to find an official position in the court, but her sister insisted on taking the normal path and relying on her true talents and learning step by step.
Tomorrow is the day when the results will be released. Yan Fuzhi and Meng Tinghui set off Kongming lanterns on the bridge to pray, hoping that they can go to high school tomorrow.After finally getting to the time when the results were released, Meng Tinghui and Yan Fuzhi went to look at the results with great anticipation. However, after looking over and over again, they couldn't find Meng Tinghui's name.
Meng Tinghui couldn't accept the result that day. She had worked hard for so many years and finally had the opportunity to get to where she is now. How could she not be on the list?The emperor Yingwu also read the test papers of the students who took the examination. Among them, Huiyuan's articles were very similar to Meng Tinghui's writing in terms of sentences and methods. However, the person who passed the Huiyuan exam this time was a woman named An Rulan, while Meng Tinghui did not have a name.
In the evening, Meng Tinghui was sitting at his desk feeling sad. He finally had this opportunity but failed. He was feeling depressed when he was suddenly strangled by a piece of white silk around his neck.Soon, Yan Fuzhi brought some cakes to comfort Meng Tinghui. He lit the candle and saw that Meng Tinghui had hanged himself from the beam. Yan Fuzhi quickly put down Bai Ling and rescued Meng Tinghui for a while. Finally, Meng Tinghui was saved.
After Meng Tinghui woke up, she explained to Yan Fuzhi that she was not looking for short-sightedness, but that someone had just wanted her life. It seemed that she had blocked other people's way. The security in the capital should not be like this. Without further ado, Meng Tinghui decided to return to her hometown with Yan Fuzhi the next day.
In the early morning, Meng Tinghui and Yan Fuzhi had packed their luggage and were preparing to return. On the way, they heard many students reciting Huiyuan's masterpieces. Meng Tinghui heard that the content of this policy review was clearly written by himself, so how could it become someone else's article.The more she thought about it, the more bizarre it became. If she didn't pursue the case, she might never have another chance in the future, let alone a Huiyuan student. Meng Tinghui decided to take a gamble. She and Yan Fuzhi found someone to write a lot of news that they suspected would be false in the exam. These tabloids were all spread in the downtown area, and the matter of cheating in the exam was widely known throughout the city.
Meng Tinghui was about to be silenced after being targeted. She and Yan Fuzhi discussed leaving separately and asked Yan Fuzhi to find Shen Zhishu to mobilize reinforcements. She was beating gongs and drums, taking the initiative to reveal her real name, and wanted to lead everyone to find Fu Yin and let Fu Yin make a decision.The people who were preparing to assassinate Meng Tinghui saw more and more people watching. In order not to make the matter worse, they had no choice but to stand still.
At the same time, the British widow also brought people to the Gongyuan to investigate the case. When the examiner heard that the emperor said that he wanted to get the test papers from the original examination, he was so frightened that he said they had been eaten by rats and could not be found.The British widow then ordered his men to beat them with sticks. If they did not tell the truth, they would face the fate of being beaten to death. Some people could not resist the torture and finally told the truth.
