Chapter 258: Brother, Youre Wrong! (1 / 2)
To ensure a relatively fair imperial examination and to prevent candidates from deliberately approaching examiners, the identities of the examiners were not disclosed before the exam. Especially the chief examiner—except for court officials, no one knew who it was.
Of course, if someone randomly visited an official after arriving in the capital and that official happened to be an examiner, as long as there was no evidence of cheating, it would be considered a coincidence and not an issue.
Therefore, many candidates who came to the capital were eager to bring their essays and visit officials everywhere, hoping to gamble on their luck and gain the favor of an examiner.
Gao He had also done the same before, even spending all the silver he had obtained from selling out his ancestors to bribe the gatekeepers of various officials, begging them to place his visiting card and essay in front of the master of the house.
And now, you’re telling me that I actually knew an examiner all along?!
Gao He’s eyes instantly filled with tears.
My money!!!
After verifying his identity, Xu Yanmiao smiled and said, “Go on in. Don’t forget to check the seating chart on the main gate and find your assigned seat.”
Gao He cupped his hands in gratitude. “Many thanks, sir.”
