Chen Heng borrowed money to study in a dilapidated temple, but was framed and kidnapped by Qian Yi, a wealthy man, during the county examination.
The examiner tore up his test paper in front of everyone: "A lowly guy from a humble family deserves to be admitted?"
Three years later, Chen Heng won three prizes in a row. During the palace examination, the emperor personally asked him about his grievances.
He bowed and said, "If I hadn't been humiliated that day, I wouldn't have known the importance of the imperial examination and the darkness of officialdom."
A chuckle came from the throne: "Qian Yi's father has been beheaded, and the examiner has been exiled for three thousand miles."
Chen Heng looked up and saw that sitting behind the bead curtain was the female doctor who gave him the money back then.
On the first day that the new official took office, the yamen gate was full of candidates who had committed perjury.
Chen Hengwen helped him up in a warm voice: "Gentlemen, please stand up. The spine of a scholar cannot be broken."
While everyone's eyes were dim with tears, they saw a piece of paper slipping from his sleeve - it turned out to be the Qian family's secret order to exterminate the entire family.
