Blissful Days After Widowhood Chapter 43: Being framed

In the examination room, candidates came out one after another after answering their questions and handing in their exam papers. Ning Xi was very anxious. What if the person who framed her also handed in the papers and went away? Thinking like this, I couldn't help but anxiously circled around the door.

Another examiner B in the examination room noticed her abnormality and raised his head to take a look. Suddenly his face changed slightly, and he hurried to the examiner A who had just grabbed Ning Xi, and said in a low voice, "This girl Could it be that the one who jumped in the queue to take the test after taking the relationship of Jingzhao Yin and Huang adults?"

Examiner A thought about it carefully, and slapped his forehead suddenly: "Oops, why didn't I think of it." He stood up and said loudly, "All candidates who have finished the test should not leave, wait next door first."

Those candidates who came out felt inexplicable, but they could only wait obediently. As people gradually came out, they began to whisper, "What the **** is going on?"

A chubby candidate said: "I've taken the test four times, and the first three times, I can leave after handing in the paper. I haven't tried anything like this time, and I have to stay."

Everyone laughed when they heard it: "It's just you, save some effort, you won't pass the test anyway."

The fat candidate was anxious: "You can't pass the test, your whole family can't pass the test!"

Ning Xi couldn't help but smile when she heard this, and her originally anxious mood relaxed a little.

When the exam time was over, the two examiners collected all the papers. The others' papers were put aside and Ningxi's was found first. The handwriting was correct and the papers were neat and tidy, which made people feel pleasing to the eye , after a closer look, I found that she answered very well, even more detailed than the content on the cheat sheet, the examiner B said: "From this paper, it really doesn't look like someone who can cheat. People can answer."

Examiner A pondered: "Just because of this, it doesn't mean that she has not read this cheat sheet. Since we are the main examiner, we must act impartially, no matter what background she has, since she is under our command now. , we must act according to the rules, and we must not allow the fraudsters to pass by our hands easily.”

The second examiner said: "I have a way. Let's just call Ningxi over and see if she can memorize the answer?"

The first examiner said: "That's right, just do it like this. Let's test her again. If she can really recite well, then we won't bury talents."

So I called Ning Xi over there and messed up the exam questions to test her one by one. Ning Xi smiled and talked freely. The two examiners not only do this line of work, but they are also very insightful in cooking. , I didn't expect to hear Ning Xi say this, even the things that I thought were extremely simple, I heard something new, and suddenly there was a feeling of enlightenment.

Unconsciously, they were no longer in Kaoning Creek, but kept asking questions that they didn't understand very well. When everyone discussed together, they became more and more interested, and they talked about it unconsciously. It took more than an hour without realizing it.

Finally, a small official came over: "Two adults, those candidates have been waiting for a long time, I don't know why the adults keep them?"

The two chief examiners reacted only then. There were still a bunch of people waiting outside. They bowed their fists to Ningxi and said, "Miss Ning, it's really better than ten years of study to talk about this with you today. I believe that with your level, you will never have to take a cheat sheet for such a simple exam, please rest assured, we will give you justice in this matter anyway.”

"Then I would like to thank the examiner."

The two chief examiners found a few officials and were going to interrogate the candidates outside one by one. They had to find out who was framing Ning Xi. At this moment, a hand was suddenly raised high in the crowd. .

Following everyone's gaze, Ning Xi saw the owner of this hand. He was a clean young man, but he was a little thinner. He didn't look like he was learning to cook. It was old, and he wore it cleanly and snugly. Seeing everyone looking at him, his face turned red before he could speak.

Examiner A asked with a sullen face: "What's your name and what do you want to say?"

The young man was obviously a little scared, he shook involuntarily, and whispered: "Little man Feng Zhihai, look, see who threw the paper ball."

"Come on, who is it?"

Feng Zhihai quietly raised his head and glanced at his side. Standing next to him was a strong man with a height of eight feet. He was so big and three thick that one person could top him three Feng Zhihai. The strong man glared at Feng Zhihai. The corners of his mouth twitched, and the flesh on his face trembled twice. Feng Zhihai was so frightened that he lowered his head and quickly pointed his finger at the strong man beside him: "It's him."

The strong man grabbed Feng Zhihai by the collar and lifted him up: "Stinky boy, dare to talk nonsense, believe it or not, if you kill me, it's like killing an ant."

"Bold!" Examiner A slapped the table, "You can't hurt people's lives at will in broad daylight, quickly put them down!"

The strong man snorted and threw Feng Zhihai down like a chicken. Feng Zhihai stumbled a few steps before he stood up: "Sir, the villain is sitting here during the exam. Next to the person, I saw with my own eyes the **** of paper he threw when the examiners were not paying attention.

"If I say no, then there is no!" The strong man refused to admit it.

"It seems that you won't tell the truth if you don't need to punish you, come here, the torture tool will serve you!" The second examiner shouted.

The strong man looked tough, but as soon as he saw the dark stick, he was cowardly, "Plop" and knelt down: "Sir, please forgive me, the villain is willing to recruit, then, that paper ball is indeed a villain. Throw it."

Ning Xi said: "I don't know you, why do you want to frame me?"

The strong man said: "I'm just collecting money and doing things for others, not deliberately trying to frame you."

"Then who on earth is trying to harm me?" Ning Xi asked. She asked herself that she didn't offend anyone. How come it seems that everything has been targeted recently?

The strong man stabbed his neck: "I don't know!"

Examiner A shouted angrily again: "You're so brave, come here, give me twenty big boards first!"

The strong man immediately kowtowed: "Sir, spare your life, the villain really doesn't know. Last night, the villain was drinking in the house when he suddenly heard a sound, as if someone threw something into the villain's yard. At that time, the villain was drinking. I thought it was someone deliberately making fun of him, so he chased him out and scolded him for a few words, but he almost tripped over a bag of things under his feet. He picked it up and saw that it was actually a bag of silver. A letter, the letter says, as long as the villain throws this piece of paper on a candidate named Ning Xi during the exam. As long as she is caught by the examiner and convicted of cheating, it will be done, and she will continue after it is done. I gave the villain twenty taels of silver, and the villain was fascinated by the money for a while, thinking that this matter would not be harmful to the villain, then he started throwing the paper balls. My lord, everything the villain said is true, and I would never dare to do so. There is half a sentence to hide."

Examiner A looked at Ning Xi and said, "Miss Ning, it seems that what this person said is true. As for whoever has the intention to frame you, I am afraid that this official can't help you." He turned to the strong man again. He said sharply, "You disregarded the discipline of the examination room and intended to frame others. You are now sentenced to ten days in prison, fined 22 taels of silver, and will not be allowed to take part in the chef's examination for six months. Do you have any objection?"

The strong man hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Sir, please forgive the villain. The villain was just confused for a while, and he will never dare again. The villain has eighty old mothers and three-year-old children. People take the chef's exam, and the villain can't support his family, my lord!" The officials didn't care about his shouting, and had already held him down.

Ning Xi walked up to Feng Zhihai, who was still trembling with fear: "Thank you so much for coming forward."

Feng Zhihai blushed again: "No, you're welcome, that's what it should be."

"My name is Ning Xi, and I have opened a Shuangxi Building on Zhengyang Street. If you need any help in the future, or if the person just now wants to come to you in the future, you can come to me. "Ning Xi said.

"Okay, thank you!" Feng Zhihai nodded again and again.

Originally, after finishing the written test in the morning, candidates could go home to rest first, and then came to the test to cook in the afternoon, but this happened, which delayed a lot of time, so everyone didn't even have time to eat lunch, so they started directly. Exam second half.

In the afternoon, the assessment was actually simpler. First, a lottery was drawn to determine the order of taking the test. Ning Xi happened to be drawn behind Feng Zhihai. Seeing that he was always nervous, he encouraged him, "Don't be afraid. If you memorize it well, you won't fail the test."

Feng Zhihai said a little embarrassedly, "I don't have a master, I just learned it by myself."

"Ah?" This time it was Ning Xi's turn to be surprised, "How come there is no master?"

Feng Zhihai told Ning Xi sadly that he had been an apprentice in a restaurant since he was a child, but he was introverted and timid, and he had never been likable. The chef was willing to teach him his real skills, so he had to learn a little bit of the east and the west quietly while he was busy. Unexpectedly, his mother who had been widowed for many years suddenly fell ill and needed a lot of money to see a doctor. As an apprentice, he could not afford it at all. At this time, a distant cousin of his opened a small restaurant and told him that as long as If he could get into the chef's license, he was asked to work in a restaurant. Only then did he move his mind and come to take the exam.

Ning Xi sighed: "So that's the case, then you were willing to use your test scores to vouch for me just now, but it's really hard for you."

Feng Zhihai touched the back of his head and smiled, "I was outraged at the time, but I didn't think much about it."

"No matter what, thank you very much." Ning Xi felt that Feng Zhihai, although too shy, was a good person. If there is anything she can help in the future, she should try her best. Pay back this favor.
