Chapter 469 Search and Smuggling
He Shen was a little anxious and said, "If I need to go to the toilet at night, then..."
"Toilet?" Du Xiaoyue was stunned. After thinking for a moment, she understood what he meant and said, "You mean to relieve yourself? I've put the kettle under the bed for you. Ah, go to sleep, ah."
Heshen glanced under the bed, walked over and picked up the chamber pot.
Outside the door, Du Xiaoyue's voice came: "Hey, Master He, have you found it?"
He Shen looked disgusted and said, "I found it."
He put down the chamber pot, thought of something, and said, "No, what if I...what if I have my period tonight?"
Du Xiaoyue pretended not to understand and said, "Big, what big?"
He Shen frowned and said, "It means to relieve the pain."
Du Xiaoyue said, "Then just hold it in as long as you can. I'll let you out tomorrow morning."
He Shen was stunned for a moment and said, "I am a family dog, but I only let it out once in the morning. How unlucky!"
……
day.
Imperial Examination Hall.
The door was full of people.
There are both candidates and officials.
Heshen and Du Xiaoyue came over.
The officials hurried to greet him.
Heshen looked at Ji Xiaolan and said, "Ji Xiaolan, where have you been? I can't find you anywhere."
Ji Xiaolan said, "I have always lived in the Zuo family, sir, have you forgotten?"
He Shen said, "It's not a question of whether I've forgotten or not. I didn't even know where you lived. Where's Mo Li?"
Ji Xiaolan said: "He was driven away by Lord Zuo and his whereabouts are unknown. I don't know where he went."
"He was driven away by Zuo Shankui?" He Shen gloated a bit upon hearing this. "Serves him right. This smoker has come to this day."
Ji Xiaolan said, "Li Qiye is too upright, so it's easy for him to offend others."
He Shen said, "Let's not talk about him anymore. What's the point of talking about him? Let's continue. How about it? Are you ready?"
Zhao Wenlong said, "Return to the main hall, clean the courtyard, and have the soldiers strictly guard their posts."
He Shen said, "Okay, let's get started. Remember, anyone who smuggles in anything must be found out."
All the officials said yes in unison.
Zuo Shankui said, "Everyone, please pay attention. We are entering now and preparing for inspection."
Du Xiaoyue and the other officials walked inside and asked in confusion, "Master Hey, what is a search?"
The officials stopped.
He Shen said, "Xiao Yue, you don't understand. Cheating in exams has been going on since ancient times. Most people use a "gun" (a person who takes the exam) as a proxy. A "gun" (a person who registers for the exam) is someone who takes the exam under a false name or identity."
He paused and continued, "I still remember that in the second year of Shunzhi's reign, Emperor Shunzhi issued an edict that anyone who brought even a piece of paper into the examination room, or who was found to be taking the exam for someone else, would be shackled with a large wooden yoke and placed at the entrance of the examination room for a month." He made various gestures as he spoke.
Du Xiaoyue said, "What about the smuggling?"
"Smuggling it in? That depends on how clever your method is. There are generally two ways: one is to put it inside the utensils. The other is to sew it into the clothes. Look at all the candidates' clothes, they all have the stitches undone."
He Shen patiently explained to Du Xiaoyue, "Also, all clothing, including shoes and socks, must be single-layered. The inkstone cannot be too thick. The writing pen tube must be hollow. Even food must be cut open."
Du Xiaoyue nodded, not quite understanding.
The Governor said, "Sir, please have some tea." He made a gesture of invitation.
He Shen said a few good words and walked in a certain direction. Du Xiaoyue followed him.
As soon as Heshen left, the Governor-General whispered, "Brother Zhao, is everything alright?"
Zhao Wenlong said: "No problem. Everything we plan to put on the inspection has secret marks on the inkstone, don't worry."
The Governor nodded with satisfaction.
