Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Chapter 366 Wow! Nice idea.

Xu Jinyu didn't even raise her head: "Then you don't need to look at him. I am in charge of the search. I will search wherever I say. Quick, tear off this man's cloak."

Just as the soldiers were about to take action, the scholar snatched the cloak and held it in his arms, his face flushed red. Liu Jinyuan couldn't stand it and shouted at Xu Jinyu: "Sir, even if you are an official, you can't tear my cloak. This is the only relic my grandfather left me."

"If I tear him apart, how will I face my grandfather in the underworld? At worst, I won't take part in the examination."

Having said that, he picked up the cloak and turned away.

When the candidates in line at the back saw this, they looked at Xu Jinyu with strange eyes. Some even whispered, "They said women can't be officials. Look! Something's wrong!"

Xu Jinyu raised his eyebrows and ignored those who were muttering. He looked at the scholar in front of him. This man was quite smart, but why didn't he take the right path?

[What makes you think that you can scare me off by saying that you won't take the exam? You even want to use filial piety to pressure me. Am I a foolish filial person? ]

The examiner standing on the other side was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: How many people in the world dare to say openly that they are not so filial? Even Your Majesty is very respectful to the Queen Mother on the surface, and you are the only one who dares to say so.

Then he waved his hand and asked the soldiers to surround Liu Jinyuan. Liu Jinyuan shed more tears, causing all the candidates nearby to glare at the soldiers.

Xu Jinyu walked up to Liu Jinyuan and said slowly: "You are very good at taking advantage of the people around you, but it's a pity that you met me. You said that this cloak was a relic left to you by your grandfather, but your grandfather died before your father was born. At that time, your family was very poor."

"How did this relic come to be? Could it be that your grandfather was half dead and couldn't accept it, so he crawled out of the coffin and left a cloak for you?"

"Pfft!"

Hearing Xu Jinyu's words, many officials couldn't help but laugh.

Lord Xu always speaks in such a sarcastic way.

The soldiers did not hesitate any longer and snatched the cloak, tore it open with a "rip!" sound, took a look, and then spread it out towards the candidates who were queuing up.

There were dense handwritings inside the cloak. Even in the dim light, everyone could recognize that it was the full text of "The Spring and Autumn Annals".

Liu Jinyuan was just pretending to cry, but this time he was really crying.

"Sir! Please spare me for a moment. I was just bewildered for a moment. Please forgive me, sir."

"Pooh!"

Some candidates couldn't help but spit at Liu Jinyuan.

"You are cheating in the imperial examination and you are dragging your grandfather down with you. If your grandfather knew that you cheated in the imperial examination, he might really jump out of his coffin."

The soldiers grabbed the candidate without Xu Jinyu's command, put him in shackles, and made him a role model for the other candidates who followed.

"And you!" Xu Jinyu changed the direction of his arm and pointed at the slave.

"Accepting bribes, letting others take advantage of the search, and taking them away with you."

The soldier's eyes widened, realizing there was another accomplice here. He walked over and started to strip the jailer of his clothes.

The guard was startled and immediately knelt down: "Master Xu! Master Xu! I didn't do it. If you don't believe me, go and search my house. I don't even have ten taels of silver. I really didn't accept bribes."

[Your family has no money, but your daughter's dowry starts at a thousand taels of silver. How did you, a jailer, save so much money? Do you want to teach me?]

The examiner's eyes rolled as the guards rushed out: "Wang Xiaoshi, it has been found that your married daughter has a large amount of silver of unknown origin. According to your daughter, this is her dowry. Now..."

The guard fell to the ground with a thud, muttering, "Inner Guards... Why are they Inner Guards..."

The soldiers pulled the slave away, and Xu Jinyu whispered, "Continue!"

On the other side, the examiner was holding the roster and calling out the names, while Xu Jinyu was staring closely at the candidates.

Suddenly, Xu Jinyu reached out her hand again: "You! Take off the jade hairpin on your head."

The scholar was so frightened that his face turned pale.

The soldiers stepped forward, pulled the jade hairpin from the scholar's head, and threw it to the ground. The hairpin broke into pieces, among which was a folded piece of paper.

When I opened it, I found it was actually a written policy paper.

"continue!"

"You, take off the bottom of the exam basket."

"You! Check all the brushes."

"You! Break the candle."

"You! Tear up the scone."

"You, take off his pants and grab his anus."

Soldier:"········"

Fellow examiner: “????”

Juzi: “!!!”

How could one be so cruel as to stuff the cheat sheets into the chrysanthemums? How embarrassed must the other candidates who stuffed the cheat sheets into their pens, ink, paper and inkstones must feel.

The candidates in shackles in a row nearby were also stunned. They thought they were already very brave, but they didn't expect that there was someone who could be invincible.

The soldiers in charge took a look at Xu Jinyu and said hesitantly, "Sir, just take this man away. There's no need to dig it out directly!"

They don’t want to...

Their hands still want it.

"But this won't convince anyone." Xu Jinyu said with difficulty.

All the candidates said: "We are convinced! We are convinced! We are convinced!"

They don't want to see it.

The scholar who was being pinned down escaped the disaster and burst into tears. He thanked everyone for their understanding and said that he didn't have to have his pants stripped off in public.

At this moment, many candidates looked at Xu Jinyu with admiration unconsciously.

"This lady must be the first female official of Daqian! She is really amazing."

"She is more than amazing. She is extremely observant and has a keen eye. This year, no candidate who planned to cheat could escape her eyes."

"That's what I said. Since His Majesty is willing to let him be a lady-in-waiting, this gentleman must have some outstanding qualities."

The candidates looked at Xu Jinyu with sparkling eyes.

"You! Check his mouth."

The jailer glanced at Xu Jinyu and didn't dare to say that he had checked once and found nothing, so he checked the scholar's mouth again.
