"Yes, it's just a piece of dry food, it's not that you are not allowed to eat it. Deputy Chief Examination Zhao is so majestic." Some examiner said sarcastically.
Zhao Chen glanced at the examiner who was talking, and showed a joking look on his face.
"Mr. Liu, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, is it right to eat dry food, but if you put the cheat sheet tightly into the dry food, that's wrong."
"Why would Lord Liu check this dry food?" Zhao Chen said slowly.
The doctor of the Ministry of Rites is an official of the fifth rank, and Lord Liu is from a noble family.
Although he doesn't know this candidate, it is his purpose to make things difficult for Zhao Chen.
"A cheat sheet is contained in the dry food?"
"How could it be, we have clearly checked it."
"I don't believe it. He didn't even read it. How could he know that he brought a cheat sheet?"
Zhao Chen's words made many examiners find it difficult to believe.
After all, they have checked it carefully before.
Moreover, Zhao Chen didn’t get close to him, how did he know that the candidates cheated?
The candidates in the other small compartments also held their ears prickly, waiting for Zhao Chen's answer.
"If you don't believe it, just take it apart by yourself." Zhao Chen said.
The doctor from the Ministry of Rites frowned, squatted down, and broke the dry food in his hand bit by bit.
Everyone's eyes were also staring at the ground.
"Inserted cheat!"
"Sure enough!"
"This man really put the cheat in the dry food."
"I cheated in Qiushi and won't be allowed to take the exam again in my life, so I will beat him out."
Seeing that the cheat sheet hidden in the dry food was found, the examiners were immediately furious.
Yu Shinan even announced on the spot that he would drive the person out of the examination room and would not be allowed to take another exam for the rest of his life.
When the candidate saw that his cheat sheet was dug out, he didn't even hear Yu Shinan's words and completely fainted.
The yamen runner dragged the person and threw him out of the examination room.
The entire examination room was quiet again.
Everyone's eyes were all on Zhao Chen.
"Zhao Chen, how did you know that the man was tampering with dry food?" Li Shimin asked curiously.
He was also worried about Zhao Chen just now.
If he really made a mistake, then he would not excuse Zhao Chen.
But now, Zhao Chen has really made the right judgment.
Li Shimin was even more curious.
Although the others didn't speak, they were also full of curiosity.
They had searched before and found no abnormalities.
The candidates were not at ease with answering the questions at this moment and were cautiously pricking their ears.
"Actually, it's very simple. As a candidate, it's normal to bring dry food, but no candidate will break up his dry food and eat it as soon as he sits down."
"The exam time is very long, and candidates usually eat enough before entering the exam room. The person brought not much dry food, and his family should not be well off. There is no reason to eat dry food as soon as he enters the exam room. This is the first strange thing.
”
"Second, even if he was really hungry and couldn't help but eat dry food when he entered the exam room, he wouldn't have just broken the size of a finger."
"Who will resist eating dry food with only one small knuckle when you are hungry?" Zhao Chen explained casually and continued to walk forward.
Everyone behind him stopped in place, looked at Zhao Chen's back, and nodded constantly.
"Although this Deputy Chief Tester Zhao is young, his observation is so meticulous, and he is really amazing."
"No wonder Your Majesty personally ordered the Marquis of Zhao County to be the deputy chief examiner of this autumn examination. It turns out that he has two tricks."
"If I had passed by myself, I would definitely not have thought so much."
"Heroes come out as teenagers, it turns out that's true!"
The examiners praised them one after another, but only a few people felt that Zhao Chen's arrival made them feel a sense of crisis in vain.
Li Shimin showed joy on his face.
Although he knew that the examiners were flattering him again, Zhao Chen caught the cheating guy.
This proves that my vision is not bad at all.
"Everyone is busy and pay close attention to the order of the examination room." Li Shimin waved his hand and removed the examiners from the screen.
"Auxiliary machine, didn't you expect it?" Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji again and said with a smile.
"I have never heard of it. If Zhao Chen went to the Ministry of Justice to be the presiding matter, he would definitely be able to handle it." Changsun Wuji nodded and sighed.
"Haha, the Ministry of Justice can't keep him. Why wouldn't I arrange for you to meet Zhao Chen more often and teach him more official affairs?" Li Shimin suddenly looked at Changsun Wuji and said with a smile.
Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment, and a wave surged in his heart.
He always felt that the emperor's words seemed to hide some other meaning.
But before he could react, he heard the emperor say, "I'm kidding. I'm already satisfied if you can teach the prince well."
After Li Shimin finished speaking, he continued to follow.
Changsun Wuji paused, his expression changed a little, and he didn't know what he thought about, so he slowly followed.
The sky gradually darkened.
Candles were lit in the small compartment of the examination room.
In the afternoon, Zhao Chen caught more than a dozen candidates with intention to cheat.
Li Shimin kept following behind and watching.
At this moment, Li Shimin was hesitating whether to go back to the palace or stay here to continue watching.
"Old Li, you're going to have dinner soon, why haven't you gone back yet?" Zhao Chen returned to the lobby and said to Li Shimin.
Changsun Wuji is now used to Zhao Chen's name for the emperor.
Not surprising at all.
He was also curious why the emperor hadn't set off yet.
"I haven't eaten the dishes you cooked for a long time, today..."
"Old Li, are you okay? I'm busy with serious business. Do you want me to cook for you?" Before Li Shimin finished speaking, he was scolded by Zhao Chen.
Yu Shinan sat aside and heard Zhao Chen say this to the emperor, his face immediately changed.
Wei Zheng was as stable as Mount Tai, and he didn't even frown.
Just when Yu Shinan thought the emperor was about to get angry, he actually saw a pleasing look on the emperor's face.
"It's okay, auxiliary machine, you stay here tonight and be responsible for inspecting the examination room on behalf of Zhao Chen." Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji said.
"Ah?" Changsun Wuji was stunned at that time.
I just came here to accompany the emperor for a walk.
Why do you have to help Zhao Chen inspect the examination room yourself at night?
"What? You can'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 face.
"It's OK now." Li Shimin asked Zhao Chen with a smile.
He has indeed not tried Zhao Chen's craftsmanship for a long time.
The imperial chef in the palace has a much worse skill.
For a long time, the emperor felt unhappy.
A few days ago, Empress Changsun went to the tavern and brought him back the fried dough sticks to make Li Shimin happy again.
No, since there is nothing happened in the court recently, Li Shimin thought about having another meal tonight.
"Old Li, something is wrong with you!" Zhao Chen glanced at Li Shimin and said.
"Haha, I just thought you agreed, you were ready here, and I asked someone to deliver the food." Li Shimin was delighted.
He didn't care what Zhao Chen said to him at all.
