Cheating at the Exam Hall

Sparse raindrops fell around the inn along with the sound of spring thunder. The students were all stunned as they stood stiffly in the rain. This alley was where students from outside the capital who had come to take the examination gathered. Despite the number of people, all was strangely quiet after hearing that shout.

Many moments passed. Finally someone came back to their senses. The student who shouted out was surrounded. There was a loud ruckus like an explosion. There were questions everywhere. Hou Jichang and Yang Wanli both had an excited expression, but they forced down their impulses, and just walked forward to listen.
