Chapter 938: Cheating and Being Beaten

Gu Qing nodded, "I heard it, and I was almost woken up."

Mr. Xu said mysteriously: "That's right, do you know what that is? It's a carrier pigeon!"

Gu Qing raised his eyebrows, Su Chen hesitated, "You mean-"

Mr. Xu lowered his voice, "Someone cheated with carrier pigeons."

"First send the test questions out with carrier pigeons, and wait for the people outside to answer the questions, and then send them in with carrier pigeons."

Gu Qing said in surprise: "How did the pigeons get in?"

Mr. Xu shook his head, "No need to bring them in, I raise my own pigeons, as long as After they are well-trained, they can find the pigeons even if they enter the rooms and sprinkle some millet. "

Su Chen frowned, "Who is it?"

Mr. Xu waved his hand, "I don't know. Since Brother Gu heard it, I heard it too. It's in these two rows of rooms. I've heard of this method for a long time, so I just remembered it."

He lowered his voice, "Also, I saw someone took a small booklet, only half the size of a palm, with dense writing on it. I don't know how it was brought in."

The few people discussed for a while before going to their rooms.

After the second exam, Gu Qing came out late, and the family's carriage was waiting outside the Imperial Examination Hall early in the morning.

The servant saw Gu Qing and was about to greet him, but suddenly a few people who looked like servants rushed over from nowhere and hit Gu Qing in the face.

Gu Qing was caught off guard and was punched in the nose. Blood began to drip from his nose instantly. Two servants rushed up to protect Gu Qing.

Gu Qing was blocked behind two servants, holding his nose, and shouted, "Who are you? You are so brave that you dare to beat the candidate at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall. Don't you want to live?"

The men looked at each other, and one of them said, "What are you afraid of? If something happens, the young master will take responsibility. Come on!"

The other two looked back, and Gu Qing followed their line of sight and saw the man named Zhou Chong standing not far away, showing his fist to him.

Just at this time, the patrol of the East City Military Department came over, and Gu Qing's servant shouted, "Officer, someone is beating the candidate here!"

Several people turned around and saw the officer, and ran away in a flash.

Su Chen came out and saw it, and ran over and said, "Brother Gu, what happened?"

A servant was busy wiping Gu Qing's nosebleed, and another said, "I don't know where a few scoundrels came from just now. They beat my son without saying a word, and ran away after a few hits."

Su Chen frowned, "Brother Gu, has anyone offended recently?"

Suddenly, he remembered the man who insisted on changing seats with him in the first exam, "Could it be that Zhou Chong who did it?"

Gu Qing covered his nose with one hand, "It's him, he was watching over there just now."

"Brother Su, I feel a little uncomfortable, so I'll leave first."

The servant quickly helped him into the carriage, and the carriage drove quickly to Changping Houfu.

Gu Qing returned home in this state, and everyone in the family was shocked. Chen quickly sent someone to ask for a doctor. Gu Qing was afraid that his family would worry, so he didn't tell the whole story. Gu Zhang asked the servant but couldn't get any information.

The doctor looked at it and prescribed medicine. Fortunately, it was only this one injury, and he could still take the exam after holding on.

The next day, Gu Zhang sent his son to the examination room. After thinking it over, he was still worried, so he sent someone to tell Gu Fei that someone was targeting their family.

Gu Fei was so angry when she heard that her elder brother was beaten during the examination. At least the injury was not serious. If it was serious, he would not be able to take the examination, which would delay him for three years.

On the day when Gu Qing finished the examination, Gu Fei changed into men's clothes early and sneaked out of the palace with Qin'er.
