The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

"The evidence is conclusive, do you have anything else to say?"

In the lobby of the backyard of the examination room, Li Shimin looked at the examiners in front of him, holding clothes with writings already visible in his hands.

"Your Majesty, as the chief examiner of the autumn examination, I did not expect that the examiner would collude with the candidates and attempt to cheat in the examination room."

"I have committed a crime of neglect, please punish me." Yu Shinan knew the depth of officialdom. At this moment, the evidence was conclusive and no one could escape guilt.

He took the initiative to admit his mistake to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin's expression was slightly stagnant, but after all, he was not as angry as Long Yan.

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes as he looked at the identical piece of clothing in his hand and the exact same answer on the clothing.

"Zhao Chen, what do you think about this matter?" Li Shimin asked and looked at Zhao Chen.

"Let your Majesty do whatever you want. I'm tired today and want to rest first." Zhao Chen just pushed the matter to Li Shimin, but he actually wanted to rest now.

But Li Shimin was stunned.

Seeing several pieces of clothing with the same answers in his hands, Li Shimin had already thought that this was the family's way of stumbling on Zhao Chen.

Those people from the aristocratic family would rather let some of their men die with Zhao Chen than capture Zhao Chen.

But it really took a lot of effort on their part.

What surprised Li Shimin was that Zhao Chen, who should have been extremely angry, actually acted so calmly at this moment.

This is a little strange.

Moreover, Zhao Chen asked himself to wait here because he wanted to rest first?

"Have a rest. Such a big thing happened during the autumn examination. Do you still have the time to rest?" Li Shimin frowned.

If he wanted to take a rest, it was Li Shimin who should take a rest.

Li Shimin just said the second half of this sentence to himself in his heart.

Otherwise, if the people in front of me heard this, they would probably look at each other again.

"It's getting late, so all those involved in the case will be detained in the back hall and under strict supervision."

"Everyone else, please have a good rest!" Li Shimin said.

He said something, turned around and went to rest first.

Li Shimin's operation made Zhao Chen a little confused.

But since Lao Litou himself didn't care, Zhao Chen didn't care either.

He also went back to his room to rest.

…

"Zhao Chen!"

"Zhao Chen!"

"Bang bang——"

Early in the morning, Zhao Chen heard Cheng Chumo's voice coming from outside the door, mixed with heavy knocks on the door.

Obviously Cheng Chumo was very anxious.

"Zhao Chen, wake up quickly. Something happened. His Majesty wants to see you." Qin Huaiyu's voice also sounded anxious.

Zhao Chen stood up, got dressed, opened the door, and saw Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu standing at the door, slapping their hands as if to slam the door.

"What, those examiners are all dead?" Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"Uh - how do you know?" Cheng Chumo looked at Zhao Chen in surprise.

"Could it be you..." Cheng Chumo suddenly woke up, his face full of fear.

"You drank too much fake wine, what's the point of me killing them?" Zhao Chen glanced at Cheng Chumo and scolded with a smile.

"But..." Qin Huaiyu also looked confused.

After they got up just now, they thought of coming over to ask Zhao Chen for breakfast.

When passing by the back hall, I saw the five examiners who brought in clothes yesterday, as well as Mr. Liu, the doctor of the Ministry of Etiquette, all lying there at the moment.

The emperor looked at everything in front of him with a gloomy expression.

There was anger burning in his eyes.

Even when they were asked to call Zhao Chen over, their faces were expressionless.

Obviously, the emperor was angry this time.

"Lao Li Tou interrogated those people all night yesterday.

Isn't it just to give the family a chance to kill them and silence them? "Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"You said the person who killed them was a member of the noble family?" Cheng Chumo scratched his head.

"Otherwise." Zhao Chen smiled, washed himself briefly, and then walked to the back hall.

In the back hall, Li Shimin was feeling depressed at the moment.

He originally thought that even if he couldn't eradicate the family this time, he would still be able to break their muscles and bones.

After all, cheating in the imperial examination is a crime of beheading.

As long as someone from the aristocratic family is implicated, he, Li Shimin, dares to raise the butcher's knife.

But who knew that something like this would actually happen.

In just one night, all six officials died.

If Zhao Chen hadn't said he was going to rest last night, he would have been interrogated overnight.

Li Shimin is now full of dissatisfaction.

He secretly thought that Zhao Chen was a guy who failed in many things and failed in many things.

"Where's Zhao Chen? Why hasn't he come over yet? I want to ask him if he has had a good rest!" Li Shimin snorted coldly.

Zhang Sun Wuji's face twitched at the side.

Secretly, the emperor himself asked everyone to rest last night.

This can't be blamed on Zhao Chen.

However, Changsun Wuji did not dare to say this in front of the emperor.

The emperor said this because he had nowhere to vent his anger.

Just take it out on Zhao Chen.

Moreover, given the emperor's high regard for Zhao Chen, it must be nothing major.

If I say too much, I might not be able to please both parties.

Changsun Wuji was a little unhappy. The emperor's attitude was something he only had once upon a time.

Now, it was taken away by Zhao Chen.

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu have called. I believe the Marquis Zhao will be here soon!" Changsun Wuji whispered.

Yu Shi

Nan, Wei Zheng and other examiners did not dare to speak at this moment.

Who could have imagined that this imperial examination would be so difficult.

Not only did the examiner blatantly help the examinee to cheat, but now, even the examiner who helped the examinee to cheat died in the examination room.

If this spreads out, their faces will be slapped.

"Come, let him come, I want to ask him carefully what he wants to do now!" Li Shimin said angrily.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhao Chen walking into the back hall.

"Look, look, they are all dead." Li Shimin said in a deep voice when he saw Zhao Chen.

"You all go on inspection tour." Zhao Chen pointed at the examiners and said casually.

Everyone was stunned, they did not dare to move without the emperor's order.

Li Shimin frowned, waved his hand and said, "Go and do your own thing. Yu Shinan and Wei Zheng stay here."

The examiners immediately left with relief, leaving only Zhao Chen and a few others in the back hall.

"Boy Zhao, why didn't you interrogate them yesterday? As long as you take action, they will definitely do it."

"When the time comes, even if the family cannot be completely destroyed, it will still be able to damage their muscles and bones."

"But you hinted at me and asked me to take them into custody."

"It's fine now. They're all dead. All the hard work was in vain!" Li Shimin was full of resentment and kept chattering.

Changsun Wuji and Yu Shinan, who were listening on the sidelines, were confused.

Zhao Chen hinted at His Majesty the Emperor yesterday?

How come they don't know?

Wei Zheng somewhat understood.

But these people died after all.

Dead people have no value.

"Who said their hard work was in vain if they died?" Zhao Chen smiled.

"On the contrary, only if they die can we perform better!" Zhao Chen's eyes fell on Li Shimin's face.

"What do you mean?" Li Shimin frowned.
