Chapter 564 Heshen cheats using pigeons
He Lin picked up a completed exam paper, looked at it, nodded in satisfaction, and exclaimed, "What a fine article! No wonder you are a master from the Hanlin Academy."
An official stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Thank you for your praise, sir."
He Lin asked him to sit down.
Then he said, "Everyone should write carefully. If you write well, besides the thousand taels, there will be other benefits."
The officials all bowed and expressed their gratitude.
Lin and I left the room, went outside, and walked in a certain direction.
At that moment, a person walked out from behind the window; it was Du Xiaoyue.
Once Du Xiaoyue was sure that Lin had gone far away, she quietly went to the place he had just entered and eavesdropped outside the door.
They only listened for a short while before they were discovered.
The assassins ran towards her.
Du Xiaoyue immediately used the invisibility talisman given to her by Emperor Gai Zhang to hide herself.
"Huh? Where did it go? It was just here a moment ago."
"Lord He, if I may be so bold, could this woman perhaps possess sorcery?"
He Lin gave the man a flick on the forehead, "What kind of demon are you? You can't even catch a person, and you're talking about some kind of demonic magic."
The man looked aggrieved and repeatedly said yes.
After thinking about it carefully, He Lin said, "This is bad, it must be someone sent by Mo Li."
……
Imperial Examination Hall.
The test takers are answering the questions.
The bright sunshine shone on everyone.
Mo Li watched for a while, then returned to her chair, picked up a teacup, tapped the rim of the bowl with the lid, and blew on the hot tea inside.
Heshen sat down next to him and kept looking at him.
Mo Li gave Heshen a strange look, put down his teacup, and said, "Lord Heshen, are you done yet? Why are you staring at me like that? Speak your mind, or shut up."
Heshen said, "Lord Mo, Grand Secretary Mo. This is the examination hall, how can you speak so rudely? But I don't mind, because I admire you so much. Really."
He gave a thumbs up and continued, "Lord Mo, you're a good man, a truly good man. Think about how hard you've worked for this imperial examination. You've been running around, busy with everything. You've always wanted to find something to do here, afraid that things might get out of hand. But unfortunately, it's all been for nothing. So far, there hasn't been a chance to take advantage of the situation."
Mo Li couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Oh, Lord He, are you praising me or scolding me? The title sounds like you're praising me, saying I'm a good person, a really good person."
He even gave a thumbs-up while saying it.
He continued, "But why is the entire text written in a cursing tone? What does 'jumping around' mean? What does 'no opening to exploit' mean?"
After saying that, he picked up the teacup.
Heshen said, "In any case, the imperial examination will be held soon. Once that happens, the officials in charge of the examination will be very busy."
At this moment, a soldier came in and reported, "Lord He, Lord Mo, we are about to leave the examination hall. Do you two have any further instructions?"
Heshen put down his teacup and said, "That's all. Remember to treat these scholars well, especially when collecting their papers. Understand?"
The officers and soldiers said they understood.
"Go."
"Yes."
The officers and soldiers left the scene.
……
One hand opened the pigeon cage and took out the pigeons, followed by several other hands taking out the pigeons one after another.
One person was responsible for carrying the pigeons, and the other was responsible for tying the ropes.
They tied the note to the pigeon's leg.
Du Xiaoyue, who was hiding, saw all of this and thought to herself, "You, Heshen, actually tried to cheat using pigeons."
He said to Lin from the side, "Be careful, be very careful, don't ruin the test paper."
