Chapter 254: Old Li Tou, something is wrong with you

"Yes, it's just a piece of dry food. It's not forbidden to eat it. Mr. Deputy Examiner Zhao is so powerful." One of the examiners said angrily.

Zhao Chen glanced at the examiner who was speaking, with a joking look on his face.

"Mr. Liu, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, it is right to eat dry food, but it is wrong to clamp the cheat sheet into the dry food."

"Why don't you, Mr. Liu, check this dry food?" Zhao Chen said slowly.

The doctor of the Ministry of Rites is an official of the fifth rank, and Mr. Liu is from a noble family.

Although he didn't know this candidate, his purpose was to embarrass Zhao Chen. ??

"Is there a cheat sheet in the dry food?"

"How is that possible? We've obviously checked it."

"I don't believe it. He didn't even read it. How did he know that he had brought a cheat sheet?"

Zhao Chen's words made many examiners find it difficult to believe.

After all, they had checked it carefully before.

And Zhao Chen didn't even come close, how did he know that the examinee had cheated?

The candidates in the other cubicles also raised their ears, waiting for Zhao Chen's answer.

"If you don't believe it, just take it apart and see for yourself." Zhao Chen said.

The doctor of the Ministry of Rites frowned, squatted down, and broke the dry food in his hand bit by bit.

Everyone's eyes were staring at the ground.

"Entrained cheat sheet!"

"Sure enough!"

"This guy really put his cheat sheet in the food."

"If he cheats in the autumn exam, he will not be allowed to take the exam again for life. He will be kicked out."

Seeing that the cheat sheet hidden in the dry food was found, the examiners immediately became angry.

Yu Shinan even announced on the spot that this person would be kicked out of the examination room and would not be allowed to take the exam again for life.

When the examinee saw his cheat sheet being turned out and didn't even hear what Yu Shinan said, he completely fainted.

The yamen servant dragged the person and threw him out of the examination room.

The entire examination room fell silent again.

Everyone's eyes fell on Zhao Chen.

"Zhao Chen, how did you know that that person had tampered with the dry food?" Li Shimin asked curiously.

He was also worried about Zhao Chen just now.

If he really made a mistake, he himself would not be able to excuse Zhao Chen.

But now, Zhao Chen really made the right decision.

Li Shimin was even more curious.

Although the others did not speak, they were also full of curiosity.

They had searched it before and found nothing unusual.

The candidates no longer cared about answering questions at this moment, and carefully raised their ears.

"Actually, it's very simple. As a candidate, it's normal to bring dry food, but no candidate will break up his own dry food and eat it as soon as he sits down."

"The exam lasts a long time. Candidates usually eat before entering the examination room. The person didn't bring much dry food and his family background is not that good. There is no reason for him to eat dry food as soon as he enters the examination room. This is the first strange thing. "

"Second, even if he is really hungry and can't help but eat solid food when he enters the examination room, it won't be just the size of a finger."

"Which of you would resist eating only a small knuckle of dry food when you are so hungry?" Zhao Chen explained casually and continued to walk forward.

Everyone behind him stopped in place, looking at Zhao Chen's back and nodding.

"Deputy Examiner Zhao, although he is young, his observations are so detailed, it is really remarkable."

"No wonder His Majesty personally appointed the Marquis of Zhao County as the deputy examiner for this autumn examination. He really has two tricks up his sleeve."

"If I were passing by by myself, I definitely wouldn't think so much."

"Heroes emerge from youth, as expected!"

All the examiners praised him one after another, but only a few felt that Zhao Chen’s arrival

Come on, let them feel a sense of crisis.

Li Shimin looked happy.

Although he knew that the examiners were trying to flatter him again, Zhao Chen found out the cheater.

This proves that his vision is not bad at all.

"Go and get busy. Pay close attention to the order of the examination room." Li Shimin waved his hand and dismissed all the examiners.

"Auxiliary machine, didn't you think of it?" Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji again and said with a smile.

"Unheard of, if Zhao Chen goes to the Criminal Department to handle interrogation matters, he must be very handy." Changsun Wuji nodded and sighed.

"Haha, the Ministry of Punishment can't keep him. Why don't I arrange for you to meet Zhao Chen more and teach him more about officialdom?" Li Shimin suddenly looked at Changsun Wuji and said with a smile.

Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment, and a wave of waves surged in his heart.

He always felt that the emperor's words seemed to have some other hidden meaning.

But before he could react, he heard the new emperor say again, "I'm just kidding. If you can teach me well, I'll be satisfied."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he continued to follow.

Changsun Wuji paused, his expression changed, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and slowly followed him.

The sky gradually darkened.

Candles were lit in the small cubicles in the examination room.

In one afternoon, Zhao Chen caught more than a dozen candidates with cheating intentions.

Li Shimin just kept following behind and watching.

At this moment, Li Shimin was hesitating whether to go back to the palace or stay here and continue to watch.

"Old Li Tou, it's time for dinner soon, why don't you go back?" Zhao Chen returned to the lobby and said to Li Shimin.

Changsun Wuji is now used to Zhao Chen calling the emperor.

Not surprised at all.

He was also curious about this

It's so late, why doesn't the emperor leave and go back?

"I haven't eaten your cooking for a long time. Today..."

"Old Li Tou, there's nothing wrong with you. I'm busy with business. Do you want me to cook for you?" Before Li Shimin could finish his words, he was retorted by Zhao Chen.

Yu Shinan was sitting aside, and when he heard Zhao Chen talking about the emperor, his expression immediately changed.

Wei Zheng was as steady as a mountain, not even frowning.

Just when Yu Shinan thought the emperor was about to get angry, he actually saw a flattering look on the emperor's face.

"It's okay, auxiliary machine, you stay here tonight and patrol the examination room on behalf of Zhao Chen." Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji said.

"Ah?" Changsun Wuji was confused at that time.

I just came here to accompany the emperor for a walk.

Why should I help Zhao Chen inspect the examination room at night?

"Ah what? You don't understand what I said?" Li Shimin frowned and said lightly.

"I obey the order." Changsun Wuji went to the examination room with a bitter look on his face.

"Is it okay now?" Li Shimin asked Zhao Chen with a smile.

It has indeed been a long time since he tasted Zhao Chen's craftsmanship.

The skills of the royal chefs in the palace were far inferior.

For a long time, the emperor felt unhappy.

Queen Changsun went to the tavern a few days ago and brought him fried dough sticks, which made Li Shimin happy again.

No, since there has been nothing going on in the DPRK recently, Li Shimin was thinking of having a good meal tonight.

"Old Li Tou, something is wrong with you!" Zhao Chen glanced at Li Shimin and said.

"Haha, I'll treat you like a kid and I agreed. You'll do your job here and I'll have someone deliver the food." Li Shimin's face was filled with joy.

He didn't care at all what Zhao Chen said to him.

With a wave of his hand, someone left the lobby and went outside.
