He nodded and suddenly came back to his senses when he heard Bai Yao sneer. Ye Zewen has already taken the exam. If the results come out, it will directly prove that he lied.

When the time comes, the emperor will not let him go without telling him, and he may not be able to keep the place he finally got admitted.

In an instant, dense beads of sweat appeared on the colleague's forehead.

"It's not summer yet, why is it so hot? Don't be nervous, there will be a time when you will be responsible for your words."

As soon as these words came out, the colleague's legs went weak and he almost knelt down. The Minister of Civil Affairs quickly helped him up and pinched him where no one could see.

Eye warning: If you ruin my good deeds, I will kill you.

The colleague suddenly became nervous and sweated even more, but he tried his best to pretend to be calm and forced a smile.

"What Miss Bai said, no witness needs to prove the truth or falsehood of her words. If this is the case, then all the witnesses in the world will be useless."

The Minister of Civil Affairs looked at Bai Yao with a hint of contempt in his eyes. Bai Yao is powerful, that is in terms of strength, but in comparison, she is just a little girl after all, how can she compare to him, a person who has been in the officialdom for many years!

Bai Yao looked back at him without showing any signs of weakness, "If the witness did not lie or was bribed, then of course there is no need to prove his innocence. But if he tells lies, then he is not a witness and is a sinner."

"The crime of deceiving the emperor is to punish the nine tribes." Bai Yao's tone was unhurried, as if he was talking about something commonplace.

But the words he said hit the colleague's heart hard, and made the Minister of Civil Affairs feel suspended in his heart.

If this matter is found out, he will not be able to live in a hurry. Even if he does not lose his life, he will not be able to save everything he has now.

That would be better than letting him die.

"Miss Bai, you should still worry about yourself. If the results come out and it is Ye Zewen who lied, His Majesty will not be lenient."

"Oh, do you think that even if you win, the emperor will punish me?" Bai Yao had a smile in his eyes.

Arrogance, the main one is arrogance.

The Minister of Staff also sneered angrily, "Then we'll see."

The emperor would not take action against her, so he would wait until he got the book on cultivating immortals and then take action himself, which would definitely lead to the bad breath he had today.

"It can't be fake, and it can't be true if it's fake. Today, the Japanese girl is in a good mood, so she's kind enough to help you get rid of all the bad things she did before. No need to thank me."

After saying that, Bai Yao stopped looking at him and turned back to his seat.

After receiving the news, the fifth princess and the prince hurried over. As soon as they entered, they were blinded by Bai Yao, who was dressed in red, and then looked at the two people who were taking the exam in the hall.

After asking the guards on the side, they found out the whole story. The two of them got to the high position, and the prince reported to the emperor about the apprenticeship banquet.

Soon, Ye Zewen put down his pen, checked it over and handed it in. At this time, Wu Zhuo quickly put down his pen and handed in the paper in a hurry without having time to check.

Before Eunuch Li could read the test paper clearly, he saw something extra in his hand, which turned out to be a gold nugget.

After living in the palace for so many years, he didn't know what it meant. After a cursory glance at the test paper in his hand, he understood that he couldn't accept the money.

"Eunuch Li, we are old acquaintances, so why don't you give me this little face?"

Eunuch Li lowered his head with a decent smile on his face, but there was a trace of ridicule in his eyes.

If he accepted the money, he would be one of the sinners. The official minister sincerely wanted him to be buried with him!

Just as he was about to politely refuse, Eunuch Li suddenly felt his hand go numb, and the gold nugget fell from his hand to the ground with a crisp sound.

People looked over and saw the Minister of Civil Affairs and Eunuch Li standing together. There were gold nuggets falling on the ground. There was something they didn't understand.

The emperor's face darkened. He openly bribed the people around him in front of him. It was simply lawless.

"Hey, this gold nugget belongs to Lord Shangshu?"

Bai Yao stepped forward, bent down and picked up the gold nugget on the ground. The only thing that could make her bend down was this vulgar thing.

These are all treasures that you can never leave without wherever you go.

The Minister of Libu looked at the gold nugget in Bai Yao's hand and subconsciously denied it.

"It doesn't belong to me, it should belong to Eunuch Li!"

What a joke, if he admits it, he will be convicted of bribery.

He thought that this way he could give money to Eunuch Li and get rid of the suspicion of bribery. But he didn't expect that Eunuch Li, a eunuch, would get such a big gold nugget and still carry it with him!

No, when Eunuch Li heard this, his face suddenly darkened. The Minister of Civil Affairs was really sincere in harming him, and he immediately exposed him rudely.

"It's not from our family, it's from Lord Shangshu."

"Well, it's not yours, and it's not yours. Since you don't want it, it's mine."

After saying that, Bai Yao put away the gold nugget without politeness.

This action of hers seemed to give the Minister of Personnel a clue.

"Okay, it turns out it belongs to Miss Bai. Fortunately, the emperor trusts you so much, you actually openly bribed him in front of the emperor."

Bai Yao looked at him as if he were an idiot, "Don't catch and bite anyone like a mad dog, or I will pull out your teeth one by one."

After speaking, she looked at Eunuch Li and motioned to him to give the answer sheet to the emperor. "Don't waste time, let's see the results!"

The Minister of Civil Affairs watched Eunuch Li take the answer sheet and hand it to the emperor.

After the emperor read the answer sheet, his face turned livid, he slammed the table hard and threw an answer sheet off the top.

"That's unreasonable. Take a look at what your good son wrote."

The Minister of Libu stepped forward to pick up the answer sheet, and his ears turned red after reading it.

"The words don't convey the meaning, the sentences don't make sense, and three-year-olds can write better than him. This is the top list you picked!"

"The handwriting doesn't match up, and it can't even reach one ten thousandth of other people's standards. If you let such a person take the top spot, you simply don't take the future of Xiling in your eyes, and you don't take me as the emperor in your eyes." "

The Minister of Civil Affairs knelt down with a plop.

"Your Majesty was wronged. I was wronged. Bai Yao must have exchanged their answer sheets just now. That one is my son Wu Zhuo's answer sheet!"

At this time, the Minister of Civil Affairs was still quibbling. Seeing this, Wu Zhuo knelt on the ground and insisted that Ye Zewen's answer sheet was his.

The emperor's anger reached its peak. This time he was found out. What about before! Does it happen every year, but he didn't notice it.

The civil servants in Xiling are getting worse year by year. He also blamed people for not studying well, but now it seems that it is not their fault, but these old officials.

Throw out all the good talents and let them perish, and recruit these half-hearted people. How can they meet his expectations if their own level is low?

"Catch him and arrest these accomplices."
