As soon as the voice was finished, the yamen runners went out to take people.

Yu Hongtu's subordinates, concubines, and daughters are in the examination room today.

Even though his wife was not present, his house was nearby.

After a while, the group was crushed by the yamen runners to the prefect.

Because the examination room is no longer an examination room.

The book children and servants around the candidates also heard the sound and squeezed to join in the fun at the door.

Ruoyin and Su Peisheng and others rushed into the examination room when they saw the crowd.

They also found a suitable place and stood by and learned about the situation.

But as soon as she stood still, she found Wen Qianmo standing beside her.

Ruoyin pursed her lips, pretending she didn't see it, and took Banmei to the corner closest to the Fourth Master.

If she misunderstood Wen Qianmo at the beginning, she thought he was because of Miss Yu, and it was the same whether he was avoiding it or not.

But now, she understood what Wen Qianmo meant, so there was no unnecessary intersection.

This is good for her and Wen Qianmo.

After Ruoyin changed her seat, she listened to the county magistrate who was there to examine the Yu family.

At the beginning, Mrs. Yu refused to recognize it.

But after the killing sticks in the hands of the yamen runners continued, Mrs. Yu and the concubine Lin immediately took it.

After all, there are so many candidates who have testimonies and small notes as physical evidence.

But even though Miss Yu was beaten, she kept calling for injustice from beginning to end.

This Miss Yu probably didn't participate.

Because no matter how stupid Mrs. Yu is, she will not be so stupid that she will pull the child into the water.

If the child can't help her, he will be implicated.

In addition, if Miss Yu really participated, Lin would definitely take a bite.

Unless Miss Yu really didn't participate, Lin was worried that he would be punished with slander, so he did not throw dirty water on Miss Yu.

But he was so excited that he threw dirty water on Mrs. Yu and shirked responsibility for each other.

Mrs. Yu confessed: "Mr., the civilian woman did collect money from the candidates, but the civilian woman did not do anything except collect money. It was Lin who posted the relevant answers to the master's official uniform. When the master put it out and took it off, Lin would tear off the information and wait for an opportunity to pass it to the candidates outside."

At this time, she didn't care why she sold ten test questions, but only nine candidates were caught and kneeled down.

Even if she saw the Fourth Master, she would not dare to call the Fourth Master out.

Because the punishment is carried out according to the number of people.

The more people leaked, the more severe the punishment you will be.

So, how dare she?

"You're talking nonsense, I can't go to the exam room at all, how can I pass it to the candidates?" Lin argued.

However, in front of everyone, Mrs. Yu did not care about Lin, nor did she care about Yu Hongtu's face at all.

Mrs. Yu said: "Of course you can bring the answer to the examination room, because you have an affair with the master's subordinate Wang Yong. Wang Yong is trusted by the master and is arranged to inspect the examination room. Wang Yong listens very much to you, and he will do whatever you ask him to do."

As soon as the voice fell, Lin's face had no place to put it.

Yu Hongtu's body shook slightly, and turned from kneeling to falling.

Miss Yu helped her up: "Dad."

Yu Hongtu pushed her hand away, raised her head and wailed.

"The family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate!"

It is difficult for a clean official to make a decision on family affairs. Yu Hongtu has been focusing on official affairs these days and has not paid attention to his clothes at all.

He really didn't expect that he would be in the examination room to prevent the candidates from cheating.

In the end, it is still difficult to guard against the thief.

He was cheated by two women at home.

Unexpectedly, Lin, a concubine who was usually obedient and charming, actually put a cuckold on him.

But he is not greedy or contaminated, but the people around him love money as much as their lives.

When the county magistrate saw that Mrs. Yu had admitted it, he said, "Yu Hongtu, do you know your guilt!"

Yu Hongtu shook his head and said, "Yu has been an official for decades and never accepts bribes. Where did he get the crime? If an adult insists on deducting Yu, Yu can only say that his beauty is in trouble and marrying the wrong woman to come in."

"Okay, Yu Hongtu, one person has achieved the right to the heavens. Without your participation, your wives and concubines have the courage to plan this matter?" said the county magistrate.

Yu Hongtu straightened his back again: "..."

"No matter how you argue, the court's laws are placed there. Anyone who cheats, whether they are examiners or candidates, will either be exiled or executed!"

Hearing this, Yu Hongtu performed a three-kow-nine bow and nine-worship towards the direction of the capital.

After saluting, he raised his head and said with his chest raised: "I, Yu Hongtu, support the court's laws and regulations, you can torture me!"

Even at this time, his words and deeds were open and honest.

This is a clean official who is still loyal to the court even when facing unfair treatment of the laws and regulations.

He looks calm and calm, and he will be as good as you want to kill and cut.

But his appearance is provocative to the county magistrate.

The county magistrate slapped the case and said, "As the chief examiner of Suzhou, Yu Hongtu did not perform his duties, but colluded with his wives and concubines at home. His wife was responsible for contacting the client, and his wife was responsible for transmitting the exam to answer questions with his subordinates. Now, according to the Qing Dynasty laws and regulations, Yu Hongtu and his wives and concubines and subordinates were taken down, and asked for a beheading in the autumn!"

"As for the students who cheated this time, they thought it was their first time and were tempted by the Yu family, so they were lenient and exiled to Ningguta!"

"In addition, considering that the questions of the provincial examination have been leaked, the provincial examination will be temporarily suspended. After I report to the court, I will choose a date and take the exam again."

Originally, those candidates who heard that they were given a slight punishment were really given a slight punishment.

Until they heard of exile in Ningguta, they all felt as if they were ashamed.

Naning Gu Tower is not a place for people to stay.

However, in order to maintain the imperial examinations, the Qing Dynasty did not allow fraud to occur in name only.

Because the talents who have passed the imperial examination will be the future parents and will not be careless.

Therefore, no matter whether it is a candidate or an examiner, he or she will either be executed or exiled, and he or she will not be spared easily.

The county magistrate is not fighting against anyone, it is just a routine matter.

After the county magistrate issued an order, the yamen runner took Yu Hongtu, Mrs. Yu, Lin, and Wang Yong away.

Only Miss Yu was left alone sitting on the ground in desolately shouting: "Dad! Mom!"

However, no matter how she shouted or stopped her, Yu Hongtu and Mrs. Yu were taken out.

I can't take the exam anymore, and some candidates gradually walked out.

The Fourth Master walked to Ruoyin and walked out side by side with her.

At this moment, a group of people wearing official uniforms came in.

Ruoyin and the Fourth Master were about to leave.

But before I could walk out of the examination room, I saw these people coming in.

She heard someone in the crowd pointing and said, "Isn't this the prefect?"

Then, she saw the county magistrate immediately walked to the prefect and said, "I don't know that the magistrate is really a failure to welcome you."

The county magistrate said, and smiled awkwardly: "There was such a scandal in the examination room, and it made the prefect laugh at me."

The prefect waved his hand and said without saying: "I came today for this matter."
