This Zhang Dao Yan was none other than the person mentioned by Huo Zong, teacher of Mr. Xie.
"How could such a good man like Scholar Zhang incite his students to cheat in the provincial exams! That's a serious crime, why would he think so irrationally?"
"I feel that this matter is not simple; Scholar Zhang is well advanced in years, already retired and returning home during his twilight years. After returning from the Capital City, he has been teaching underprivileged students at home, inciting cheating would do him no good."
"I also sense something amiss, but the facts are as they are, his students have confessed, even the examiners have been implicated. This matter is likely hard to be rectified."
The more they spoke, the more regretful they became. As an outsider, Ruan Mian knew just by listening to the information that this matter was not so straightforward.
