When Chu Kuan led a terrified young student in, not only did the angry eyes of the Zhu family's grandson almost swallow people, but the other students couldn't help but whisper and stare at this former classmate. Ji Jiu and Zhang Dakuo both lowered their heads obediently, only glancing at each other out of the corner of their eyes.
The fourth son of the Wu family was seen with wrinkled clothes, a crooked hat, and muddy shoes. The weirdest thing was that the clothes were obviously not his size, and they were too big and loose, as if they were bought at random from some clothing store. At first glance, he didn't look like he was from an official family. Even the poor scholars were more decently dressed than him.
"Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao actually showed up. Ha, he seems a little confused. In that case, let me explain it to him." Xiangyang Earl Zhang Qiong raised his eyebrows, then repeated in a loud voice several things that had just been confirmed.
When he said that Wu Silang accused his good-for-nothing son of cheating with ulterior motives, the young student behind Chu Kuan was already shaky like a frightened bird. When he said that someone had instructed Tang Laoshi to write Zhu Youning's name on the paper, the other party's reaction became even more exaggerated.
Wu Silang's knees went weak and he fell to his knees on the ground, his voice already filled with tears.
"It was a long-time attendant of Zhu Youning who instructed me to do this. He said his master said that places like Banshan Hall are full of mediocre and incompetent playboys. What's the point of dividing the classes? It's all because Dr. Zhang wants to gain fame, so he's willing to make a fuss. He wanted me to coerce and bribe a few people to write other people's names on the test papers during the class test, and then make this class test a joke..."
Hearing this, Zhang Shou couldn't help but chuckle, "You said Zhu Youning's attendant asked you to coerce a few people, but you only coerced Tang Laoshi? Moreover, you did this kind of thing that is so easy to be exposed, instead of asking others to do it, you did it yourself. You even went to the exam room in person and shouted that Zhang Wuji cheated? Wu Silang, I usually think you are a very cunning person, how could you be so stupid?"
Wu Silang was speechless after being asked by Zhang Shou. When he saw the anger and impatience on the emperor's face, he was so frightened that he shivered and fell directly to the ground.
"I secretly agreed with the Zhu family's long-servant that I would persuade Tang Laoshi to write Zhu Youning's name on the paper, and he would go back and persuade Zhu Youning to write Tang Laoshi's name. This way, even if other things could not be done, Zhu Youning could still get a good grade for nothing, and would not be unable to enter the first class. The long-servant also agreed."
He paused, and said with a sad face, "But actually, it's because I'm worried that the matter will get out of hand and I will be traced back to you. So I didn't dare to do what the long-servant said about asking other people to write random names. I thought that I could only scare Tang Laoshi, and he wouldn't dare to say anything, so it wouldn't be exposed!"
"After all, there is no other student in Banshan Hall who is as cowardly and useless as Tang Laoshi! Later, I happened to find out that Ji Jiu sold the notebook to Zhang Wuji and the others, so I wanted to make a fuss about it. Even if Zhu Youning asked me to persuade others to write random names, I could at least explain it. No matter how much he finds fault, he can't blame me..."
