Three days later, the streets and alleys of the Capital City were abuzz with discussions about one thing—the collusion between Yang Ming and the Proctor.
"Let me tell you, I have a relative in the government office, insider news, do you want to hear it?"
"Stop keeping us in suspense."
"My relative said that Yang Ming from Shanshi County really did collude with the Proctor. It's said that he brought things into the examination hall, was taken away midway, and bribed the Proctor with silver. Prince Si looked into the case, and both the Proctor and Yang Ming confessed."
"Oh my, this matter is actually true! I told you, it's said that Yang Ming's family is just a farming household—how could they have anyone influential? All they can do is use silver."
"I really didn't expect this. Of all the things to do, pulling tricks in the examination hall—Yang Ming is done for now, probably won't be able to take another exam in his lifetime."
