After their minds were read, the entire court trembled with fear.

Chapter 80 Taking the Exam Under the Examiner's Nose

The old emperor upstairs was startled to see a person's skin being torn off.

"Wow, this is something new. I've never seen anything like it before. Minister of Rites, you'd better remember this."

"Here."

The Minister of Rites quickly took out paper and pen and began to write it down.

He had even thought of chrysanthemums, but he never expected that someone would use a human skin mask to take the exam for someone else.

Next, Shen Zhiyi unleashed her power.

"this."

"and this."

"Check their armpits."

Everyone:? ? ?

Without a word, the guards searching the examinee tore off his clothes, rolled up his arms, and the next second...

"vomit."

Shen Zhiyi, who was prepared, had already taken many steps back, but she was still overwhelmed by the faint smell of body odor.

Chen, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, stared wide-eyed.

"Extremely strong, really extremely strong, ugh."

"this."

Shen Zhiyi pointed to another one and took out the candidate's soybeans right in front of him. Looking at the words that required a magnifying glass to see clearly, she found it hard to comment: "With this much free time, I wonder how many you could have memorized."

"I can't carry it all."

"How could you pass the imperial examination if you couldn't even recite it?"

The other person shut up.

[Well, another one who bought their way in this way.]

Shen Zhiyi waved her hand: "Take it away."

When it was the next person's turn, they stared at her face in shock.

"You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you!"

Shen Zhiyi revealed her standard eight teeth.

[Surprised? Unexpected?]

She patted the other person on the shoulder and said in a mature tone, "Young man, do well on the exam."

【I believe in you! You really have to pull through! I've bet two coins you'll win!!!】

Chen, the Assistant Minister of Rites, was stunned.

Shen Zhiyi, when did you secretly place bets for others behind his back?

Su Ziruo walked forward in a daze, and after seeing Chen, the Assistant Minister of Rites...

"You, you, you, you, you, you, you."

Chen, the Assistant Minister of Rites: "What do you mean, 'what do you mean,' get inside right now."

To prevent her from giving Su Ziruo preferential treatment, Shen Zhiyi gave a message to all the candidates behind her.

"Young man, do your best on the exam."

The candidates, encouraged by the examiners, were moved to tears and full of energy.

Shen Zhiyi, who was the last to enter the examination room, was also very familiar with him; it was none other than the old man, Cui Yuanzhe.

The other person was much calmer than Su Ziruo. She was only slightly surprised for a moment before acting as if she had never seen Shen Zhiyi before.

The other party's body was searched personally by Chen, the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

After the search was completed, Chen, the Assistant Minister of Rites, whispered in Shen Zhiyi's ear, "There's nothing wrong with it."

Shen Zhiyi nodded.

"Of course there's nothing wrong with that; it's not like they can't do it."

Chen, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, suddenly widened his eyes.

He was a little puzzled. If Shen Zhiyi was paying close attention to him, there must be something fishy going on.

He had thoroughly examined Cui Yuanzhe in the inner room two or three times, not even missing the dark chrysanthemum, and there was absolutely no problem.

Good heavens, that Chen, the Assistant Minister of Rites, is truly dedicated!

At this point, Shen Zhiyi subtly moved to the side, keeping a distance from Chen, the Assistant Minister of Rites.

Chen, Assistant Minister of Rites: ...

It was all because of your sudden appearance yesterday; otherwise, the Minister of Rites would have ordered him to personally search Cui Yuanzhe's body.

Waaaaah, he's not clean anymore.

*

Soon, all the candidates had been searched and entered the examination hall.

This time, a total of fifty candidates carrying cheat sheets were arrested.

Looking at the list handed over by the Minister of Rites, the old emperor said, "I remember that we found about twenty or thirty people before. It seems that this time, by sending Shen Zhiyi, we have found them all. Minister of Rites, you should also thoroughly investigate the previous examinations of these people. You know how to deal with those who have problems."

"I understand, but this still requires the cooperation of the Ministry of Personnel."

"Yan Chen, he's on his way back now. He's really fast. If I remember correctly, he was originally from that side. It seems he was prepared all along, just waiting for me to issue an order to investigate. That kid has a personal grudge against the local officials there."

The Minister of Rites was greatly shocked. No wonder the old emperor sent the newly appointed Minister of Personnel; it turned out there was such a thing.

"Alright, I will have the Ministry of Personnel cooperate with you. This time, I will thoroughly investigate this matter of cheating in the imperial examinations."

The Minister of Rites hesitated for a moment, then bent down and told the old emperor what Shen Zhiyi had said at the Zhuangyuan Tower the day before.

"Investigate that Right Vice Minister."

"According to the order."

On the other side, Cui Yuanzhe was about to enter his examination room after entering the examination hall when he was unexpectedly led away by someone.

"Excuse me, your seat is not here. Please come with me."

Completely bewildered, Cui Yuanzhe looked at his number plate and pointed, saying, "It's right here. Look."

"I said it's not here, so it's not here. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Cui Yuanzhe shut his mouth, snorted coldly, and followed him.

"Here you are."

Choi Won-cheol: ? ? ?

"What's wrong? This is such a great location, people would kill for it."

"What's so good about this?"

If he remembered correctly, the chief examiner was sitting across from him at the table, and the other examiners were sitting next to him.

No, why is he sitting here?!

"This is discrimination! This is discrimination against the elderly!"

"I don't like hearing that."

Shen Zhiyi picked at her ear in an unseemly manner, then crossed her arms and led a group of examiners, all of whom were higher-ranking than her.

"Isn't this place wonderful?"

Shen Zhiyi slapped the table and took the test right under her nose.

[So exciting! I finally got to experience what it's like to be a proctor! Before, during high school exams, I was always unlucky enough to sit right under the proctor's nose, which made me incredibly nervous while taking the test.]

Now the tables have turned, and it's finally my turn to make others tremble with fear!

The examiner behind him: ? ? ? Wait a minute, so you let this old guy sit right under your nose just to experience this?

They thought something big had happened, that the sudden change of seats for the examinees was something they had specifically reported to the old emperor.

The Minister of Rites above was in an awkward position.

The old emperor waved his hand dismissively: "It's nothing, it's all nothing. What's wrong with letting this old fellow sit in front of us and take the test? He'll be laughing to himself under the covers tonight."

The Minister of Rites gave a forced smile.

Haha, if it were anyone else, you would have lost your temper long ago.

"Ahem, please sit down."

Looking at Shen Zhiyi in front of him, Cui Yuanzhe's usually clear mind was now completely muddled and he couldn't make heads or tails of it.

The moment the answers were handed out, many sighs were heard.

Shen Zhiyi was very proud.

[Hehe, are you surprised? Isn't this different from the previous times? Hahaha.]

Although I don't know what the exam questions will be, I'm pretty sure it won't be anything you have to memorize. It'll be five essay questions right away. Go for it!

Seeing the many dejected test takers, Shen Zhiyi felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.
