Chapter 260: What medicine is sold in the gourd?

"Cheating?"

Yu Shinan also looked shocked at this time.

Cheating in the imperial examination is a serious crime.

If the circumstances were serious, even Yu Shinan, as the examiner, would be equally responsible.

And Mr. Liu, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, actually said that Zhao Chen was here to catch the scholars for cheating.

Is there a trace to follow, or...

"Deputy Examiner Zhao, what happened?" Yu Shinan looked at Zhao Chen. .??.??

Wei Zheng and others also woke up with a start at this moment, with a trace of worry on their faces.

"Master Yu, Deputy Examiner Zhao insists on saying that this scholar cheated, and the cheating method is that the examiners bought clothes for the scholar to keep out the cold." Before Zhao Chen could say anything, Master Liu, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, said first again.

He snatched the clothes back from Zhao Chen and held them in front of Yu Shinan.

"Does Deputy Examiner Zhao suspect that we are all working together to give the scholars a way to cheat?" an examiner asked angrily.

He was one of the people who left the examination room to buy clothes today.

"Deputy Chief Zhao has such great official authority. This is clearly a frame-up."

"I dare to ask Deputy Examiner Zhao, what's wrong with this clothes? Why don't we take it apart carefully and see if there is anything on it that can be used to cheat?"

"Yes, if we take it apart, we have a clear conscience, but Deputy Examiner Zhao. If there is no cheating here, please Deputy Examiner Zhao personally apologize to us and the scholars in the examination room."

Several examiners expressed their dissatisfaction with Zhao Chen one after another, and everyone even showed an upright and awe-inspiring attitude.

They took it for granted that Zhao Chen couldn't find anything.

Because even they didn't know at the beginning that there was such a magical cheating method.

Anyone who can come up with such a method is simply a genius.

Yu Shinan took the clothes handed over by Mr. Liu, and the examiners nearby came over and carefully searched for something on the clothes.

But after searching for a full quarter of an hour, nothing unusual was found.

"Everyone, it's already late at night

, everyone should go back and rest first. This is the first time for Deputy Chief Examiner Zhao to participate in the autumn examination. He lacks experience. I hope Zhao Chen will apologize to you all. "Yu Shinan stood up, cupped his hands with the examiners and said.

Yu Shinan was like this because he didn't want this matter to cause too much trouble.

This year's autumn examination, however, the emperor personally ordered that it must be concluded safely.

Now that there is such a chaos, the key is that they have not found any evidence.

If the trouble gets bigger, it will be difficult for the emperor to explain to anyone.

But it was obvious that several examiners were unwilling to do so, and they were just waiting to completely discredit Zhao Chen this time.

How could I miss such a good opportunity?

"This is not possible, Mr. Yu. This matter is of great importance and cannot be solved by your apology. Your Majesty must report this matter to your Majesty for your personal decision." Mr. Liu said coldly, not giving Yu Shinan any face. .

Yu Shinan also understood at this moment that these people had made it clear that they wanted to fight Zhao Chen to the death.

Moreover, there may really be something wrong with this clothing.

But, where is the problem?

"Zhao Chen, what did you see just now?" Wei Zheng walked to Zhao Chen and asked in a low voice.

Wei Zheng wanted to help Zhao Chen.

But in this situation, Wei Zheng didn't even know how to start.

"Deputy Examiner Zhao, what else do you have to say?" Mr. Liu looked at Zhao Chen with a hint of joking in his eyes.

He was wondering if Zhao Chen couldn't understand why the writing on the clothes disappeared so quickly.

"Whatever you want me to say is just a trick, and you still treat it like a treasure?" Zhao Chen said casually, taking the clothes from Yu Shinan's hand.

"Do you think that by leaving writings on this piece of clothing with squid ink, you can hide it from others?" Zhao Chen held the piece of clothing.

, walked to a candlelight.

Place the corners of the clothes on the candle flame to bake.

"Zhao Chen wants to destroy the evidence, stop him quickly." Mr. Liu was stunned at the time.

Only then did he realize that Zhao Chen actually knew the magical effects of this cuttlefish juice.

Then what they do is completely controlled by Zhao Chen.

Master Liu could no longer think about how Zhao Chen knew this method at this moment. The most important thing now was to stop Zhao Chen.

Otherwise, once the writing on the clothes really appears, they will really be screwed.

Several other examiners who were involved in buying clothes also looked panic-stricken at this moment.

No longer caring about what to say, several people rushed towards Zhao Chen.

He wanted to stop Zhao Chen before the writing appeared on his clothes.

But don't want to...

"Get back!"

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu suddenly jumped out from nowhere.

The two of them kicked the two officials who rushed towards Zhao Chen to the ground.

The remaining three examiners were afraid to move forward at this moment.

What frightened them even more was that Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu were holding more than a dozen pieces of clothing that they bought from outside today.

It seems like nothing has been missed.

"Master Liu, you want to see for yourself, what is this?" Zhao Chen took the roasted clothes and held them in front of Master Liu.

In the corner of the clothes, there are dense black writings.

"This... this... this is none of my business. I don't know anything." Mr. Liu's expression changed drastically and he struggled to say a few words.

"Show me!" Yu Shinan took the clothes and saw cheating words printed neatly on them.

At that time, his beard and hair were spread out, and he shouted, "You can kill him with his heart."

The clothes hit Master Liu hard on the face.

Behind the other examiners, everyone

All are color changes.

"Master Yu, this subordinate has no knowledge of this matter." Master Liu quickly argued with Yu Shinan.

Anyway, from beginning to end, he was not personally involved in this matter.

Even if Yu Shinan is suspicious, he cannot be blamed.

"Whether you know or not is not up to you. I took a look and found that all the answers are exactly the same."

"In other words, the purpose of you people is not this imperial examination, but us examiners, right!" Zhao Chen said with a smile, looking at Mr. Liu in front of him with a playful expression.

"What?" Wei Zheng's face turned dark when he heard this.

How dare these people cheat, it turns out to be all the examiners here.

Wei Zheng understood instantly that this was the family's method.

In order to get rid of Zhao Chen, he even did not hesitate to hook up with some officials in his hands.

This is really a big deal!

"Okay, very good. Everyone, come with me to meet His Majesty. The examination rooms are all closed and no one is allowed to enter or exit." Yu Shinan's face darkened and he shouted coldly.

…

Li Shimin was sitting in the backyard lobby. He was not asleep at the moment.

Zhao Chen told him not to go outside and just wait here.

Li Shimin was also full of doubts at this moment.

"Auxiliary machine, what kind of medicine are you talking about that boy Zhao Chen? He clearly knows that someone is cheating, so why don't he catch him immediately? But he wants me to wait here." Li Shimin was a little confused and looked towards Changsun Wuji was on the side.

Changsun Wuji didn't feel sleepy at all.

Cheating in the imperial examination is a serious crime.

In order to get rid of Zhao Chen, a wealthy family is not afraid of implicating themselves?

Or are they really confident?

"Your Majesty, how did they cheat? Why didn't I notice it at all?" Changsun Wuji asked the question without answering, his eyes full of curiosity.
