Gu Chengyu immediately sat up from the bed and looked out the window.
"The evidence is conclusive, and you still want to argue? Hmph! Take him away and await punishment." A co-examiner pointed at the candidate opposite and shouted sternly.
Gu Chengyu saw that he was holding a piece of clothing and pointed to it, claiming it was the incriminating evidence.
Gu Chengyu found it odd; before entering the examination hall, they were all thoroughly searched, and clothing was no exception. If there was something on this person's clothing, why didn't the constables find it? This doesn't make sense!
Could it be that those constables were in cahoots with this person? That also seemed unlikely, as there were several constables in each inspection line. Could he have bribed all of them? Moreover, the constables were temporarily assigned and not fixed at any entrance. The difficulty of cheating this way was extremely high.
