Upon hearing this, Tang Fan immediately started frowned. “Then, does he admit that his son’s death was unrelated to Shen Kunxiu?”
Lu Lingxi shook his head. “Not so. He said that Lin Zhen had been pressured into his death by Shen Kunxiu, and also that Lin Zhen was buried. By the logic of letting him be at peace in the ground, the coffin must never be opened for an autopsy, and if you can’t right this wrong for him, he’s going to go to the capital to beat the drum of grievances.”

I’ve been thinking about this cheating case for a few chapters, but I’m confused about something. If the essays are all transcribed first, in order to avoid evaluators using their names and handwriting as a means to cheat, and if these people’s essays were all ghostwritten, then doesn’t that mean that just questioning the transcriber(s) will yield the truth? If they transcribed the essays and muddled the names and all that, then they surely would know what the original essay looked and be able to instantly point out that the ghostwritten essay was not the one they received. But if that is not the case, then how did the ghostwritten essay appear in the first place? They already mentioned that cheat sheets hidden in sleeves, hats, and shoes all end up being discovered, so that means they didn’t come into the room with the ghostwritten essay in hand. So how exactly was the cheating done then?
I’m so confused 😂

Hahaha my first reaction was “does that mean that Sui Zhou was in fact there in the last chapter?” but I guess we have a time skip in this one so the previous title didn’t lie XD
“The formerly-ordinary case of cheating on imperial exams had become a bit odd due to these additional few couple of deaths” is such an understatement and yet an accurate description of the case. Can’t wait to see how it evolves!
Thank you very much for the translation!
