A house full of cannon fodder reads my mind. Who knows? I’m going crazy.

Those people were brought quickly.

They had a guilty conscience and looked at each other with the same fear, nervousness and uneasiness.

Everyone exchanged a look, their steps were heavy, and their hearts were filled with despair.

They knelt before the emperor as if they were ready to die.

In addition to the emperor, there were also Shen Shoufu and Zhou Shangshu who were kneeling on the ground.

Seeing Zhou Shangshu, their hearts sank even more. They didn't expect that things would be revealed so quickly.

How long had they been taking the exam before they were caught cheating?

They clenched their fists secretly, feeling desperate inside.

The emperor said: "Do you know why I called you here?"

"Your Majesty, the little ones deserve to die. Everything is their fault and has nothing to do with Shen Shoufu."

"Yes, the test questions are not given by Shen Shoufu to the younger ones."

"The younger one didn't even give Shen Shoufu any money."

There were more than thirty of them, and they almost drowned them with their saliva.

Shen Shoufu's mouth twitched and he laughed angrily.

However, the emperor laughed out loud without losing face: "Okay, that's good. You all identified Shen Shoufu and accepted your benefits, helped cheating, and revealed the test questions?"

"Yes." More than thirty people said in unison.

Zhou Shangshu unclenched his fist and thought to himself, this is it, Shen Shoufu, are you still alive?

He was indeed right. These people kept their promises, and he would not let them down. He would definitely look for opportunities to help their people.

Without Shen Shoufu standing in the way, he would be someone who could speak in the court from now on.

Zhou Shangshu couldn't help but laugh at Shen Shoufu: "Master Shen, what else do you have to say?"

Shen Shoufu lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty is aware of this, but I have nothing to say."

The emperor suppressed his smile, his expression turned cold, and he said with murderous intent: "Come here, take all those who cheated in the examination room and have them beheaded in public after the Spring Festival."

The people who had already predicted the outcome were still so scared that they collapsed on the ground. Some of them had pale faces and expressions of despair.

At this moment, many people regretted it.

If they don't cheat, can they still pass high school with their own academic qualifications?

Even if you can't rank among the top three, you can still become a fellow Jinshi or a Gongsheng student.

Unfortunately, there is no turning back for them.

They collapsed in despair and looked at Zhou Shangshu intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhou Shangshu is quite good at pretending, and he still looks innocent at this moment.

Until the emperor spoke again: "Zhou Shangshu slandered his colleagues, sold examination questions, helped people cheat, disrupted the fairness and impartiality of the examination, and failed to live up to my expectations. He has committed a heinous crime. He was quartered and his whole house was ransacked. He will not be allowed to take the imperial examination for three generations."

Zhou Shangshu seemed to have heard wrongly and raised his head in disbelief: "Your Majesty Mingjian, they are talking about Shen Shoufu, not the minister!"

The shocked officials also reminded loudly: "Your Majesty, it was Shen Shoufu who revealed the test questions, not Mr. Zhou."

Shen Shoufu laughed; "Okay, stop pretending. Your Majesty has known for a long time that someone will cheat, so there are three test questions, one for me, Mr. Zhou, and Mr. Li."

"Why do you think the emperor can accurately find you cheating?" Shen Shoufu explained: "Other than him, only the emperor knows Master Zhou's test questions, and the emperor will never reveal them. So if you choose this test question, you are Master Zhou's accomplice."

"You know, Mr. Zhou's test questions are the most difficult, and you just chose the most difficult test questions."

"Besides, your answers are all very good, as if you had someone to polish them."

As soon as Shen Shoufu finished speaking, they had nothing to say, only despair.

Especially Zhou Shangshu: "It turns out that it was the emperor's plan from the very beginning. No wonder the emperor only called Xiaguan that day. It turns out that from that time on, the emperor suspected that Xiaguan would reveal the test questions?"

"Hmph, if you were not greedy for money and power, how could you have fallen into this trap? To put it bluntly, it is still your own fault. You have betrayed my trust in you." The emperor snorted coldly: "You deserve to die."

Zhou Shangshu knew that at this time, it was useless to say anything. He had no other choice but to accept it.

Unless he wants his entire clan to be beheaded along with him.

When Zhou Shangshu was taken away, he glanced at Shen Shoufu. His unwilling look made Shen Shoufu laugh and said: "Zhou Shangshu, you shouldn't!"

"Shut up, you'd better not have this day." After his plan failed and even cost his own life, Zhou Shangshu was heartbroken.

The next exam went well.

After catching the cheating worms, all that are left are the good ones who are truly talented and learned.

After the exam was over, everyone walked out of the examination room. Many people fainted from exhaustion, while others were exhausted.

Some people are confident, while others are crestfallen.

No matter what, it is nothing compared to the doubts in their hearts.

When I think of those Juren who were called away and never came back, although I don't know what happened specifically, I heard from the invigilator that those people were caught cheating.

They were delighted to lose several competitors.

One by one, they worked hard to write and live up to the ten years of hard study.

When the exam was over, Mrs. Sun and Sun Qian'er came. They didn't know that Sun Sheng had been arrested.

Yan Bao and Mrs. Shen came to see the fun. Mrs. Sun saw them and taunted them: "What are you doing here? The second young master of the Shen family is said to be a straw bag. He is not good at studying. He has not even passed the examination. It's useless for you to come." .”

"Could it be that you know that my eldest brother can graduate from high school, and now you are trying to curry favor?" Sun Qian mocked: "No, we can't compete with your Shen family."

Yan Bao rolled his eyes: [You will cry later. 】

Mrs. Sun was very proud: "What does a second-grade county lady mean? My son said that he wants me to be a first-grade country lady in the future, which is a step above the second-grade country!"

"There is everything in the dream. Remember to do more." Mrs. Shen looked at Chief Shen who came out and greeted him: "Husband, you have worked hard. Are you exhausted these days?"

Yan Bao also flew over.

Shen Shoufu picked up the person.

Yan Bao has grown a lot taller, with long legs and a small face. After holding her for a while, she put her down. After all, she is a big girl and cannot be carried around like she was three or four years old.

When his daughter grows up, he can't hold her around in public, because he will be laughed at.

Yan Baoxiao held Shen Shoufu's hand.

Mrs. Sun also came over at this time: "Master Shen, have you seen my son? Why hasn't he come out yet when everyone has come out?"

Shen Shoufu said expressionlessly: "Sun Sheng, right? If you want to find someone, you can go to the prison and have a look. After all, he will be beheaded in public tomorrow, so it's just a matter of taking a second look."

Mrs. Sun's face changed: "Mr. Shen, how can you say such nonsense? My son is fine, how could he be beheaded?"

Shen Shoufu was merciless: "Sun Sheng cheated in the examination room, got zero marks on the test paper, slandered the examiner, and behaved disrespectfully in front of the palace. If not him, who should I kill?"

Sun Qian'er didn't believe it: "Didn't you reveal the test questions to my eldest brother, Mr. Shen? Even if my eldest brother is guilty, Mr. Shen cannot escape the involvement. Don't even think about slandering my eldest brother!"

:"hiss!"

"Master Shen revealed the test questions?"

"Master Shen, why are you doing this?"

The people who had not left were angry, filled with indignation and resentment.

Yan Bao rolled his eyes: [These people are easily incited, stupid! 】

Shen Shoufu explained: "Everyone, please be patient. The person who revealed the test questions is not me, but Mr. Zhou."

Just as he was talking, someone posted a charge sheet and read it loudly, as if they were afraid that everyone wouldn't hear.

Only then did everyone realize that it was all a misunderstanding.

It was not Mr. Shen who revealed the guilt of the exam question, but Mr. Zhou. He has been caught, and those who cheated will be beheaded.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief knowing that their test scores would not be affected.

Mrs. Sun's eyes darkened when she saw her son's name.

Sun Qian'er exclaimed: "Mother, mother, mother, nothing will happen to you!"

Yan Bao looked at him coldly: "Tch, you're too weak. You can't bear this?" When Sun Sheng is beheaded, why not be frightened to death? 】

【Deserved it! 】

[My father is really powerful, he really took care of Mr. Zhou. 】

[Alas, the emperor has been given the advantage, and a large amount of money has been put into the private treasury. Mr. Zhou will make the emperor's wedding dress for nothing. He will probably be angry to death! 】
