Chapter 508 I only suspect you

Since the examination began, the Imperial Examination Hall has been under martial law, with heavy guards inside and outside, and no outsiders are allowed to approach.

After a day of exams, the candidates breathed a sigh of relief.

Each of them has a small compartment, which is called an examination room.

In addition to the desk, writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone used for the examination, there was also a stove, a toilet, and beds and bedding in the examination room.

The examination lasts for twenty-one days. During these twenty-one days, all candidates can only stay in their own examination rooms. No matter eating, drinking, defecating, urinating or sleeping, everything can only be done in this small space. They cannot leave the examination room at all, and they cannot communicate with other people.

Not only the candidates, but also the chief examiners and invigilators must stay in the Imperial Examination Hall. They cannot leave until the examination is over.

Of course, the examiners are treated much better than the candidates. They have their own guest rooms and chefs serve them three meals a day. Except for not being able to move freely, other aspects are no different from usual.

Today is no exception.

After the exam, the examiners returned to their respective residences.

The candidates stayed in their own examination rooms, busy making fire and cooking.

As night fell, the Imperial Examination Hall gradually returned to peace.

The candidates were really exhausted after a whole day of exams and they all fell into a deep sleep.

From time to time, an inspector holding a lantern would pass by the examination rooms, scanning the surroundings with his sharp eyes.

Near the dawn, an examiner on night duty hurried through the corridor and knocked loudly on the door of the guest room where the second prince Luo Yunxuan lived.

"Second Prince! Something terrible has happened!"

Luo Yunxuan woke up from his sleep.

He put on his clothes and asked someone to open the door.

Luo Yunxuan looked at the panicked examiner outside and said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, what happened? Tell me slowly."

"The prince brought many Jade Lin Guards with him, and they surrounded the Imperial Examination Hall!"

Luo Yunxuan obviously didn't expect such a situation to happen. He was slightly stunned, but did not feel panicked.

He said calmly, "There must be some misunderstanding. Take me to see it."

The news that the Imperial Examination Hall was surrounded by the Yulin Guards spread like wildfire, and within a short period of time, all the examiners in the Imperial Examination Hall knew about it.

Everyone woke up and walked out of the room to see what was going on outside.

As the chief examiner appointed by the emperor, Luo Yunxuan is naturally the person with the highest status here.

Surrounded by a group of examiners, Luo Yunxuan strode out of the Imperial Examination Hall.

Outside the Imperial Examination Hall, the prince was dressed in a black brocade robe, and his stern face looked particularly intimidating under the light.

He also wore a sword at his waist.

It was the annihilation that Emperor Taizu once wore on his body.

Behind the prince stood the fully armed Yulin Guards.

They stood silently in the darkness, like giant beasts lying dormant, exuding an invisible sense of oppression.

When the examiners saw this scene, they couldn't help but hold their breath and became more and more uneasy.

Luo Yunxuan did not walk out of the gate, but stopped near the gate.

He said modestly, "I am now the chief examiner of the examination. According to the rules, we cannot step out of this door, so I cannot go out to welcome the Crown Prince. I hope the Crown Prince will forgive me."

The examiners following behind him bowed to the prince.

Luo Qinghan had no intention of greeting them and went straight to the point.

"I am following my father's order to thoroughly investigate the case of this year's exam leak. I ask my second brother and all the examiners to cooperate with the investigation."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present changed their expressions.

Even Luo Yunxuan's expression changed slightly.

Luo Yunxuan frowned and asked, "What do you mean? Do you suspect that one of us leaked the test questions?"

Luo Qinghan: "I don't suspect anyone else, I only suspect you."

Luo Yunxuan looked displeased: "Don't say anything careless, even if you are the prince, you can't slander others casually!"

"Whether it's slander or not, wouldn't it be clear if we investigate?"

After Luo Qinghan finished speaking, he made a gesture, and Zhao Xian led the Yulin Guards into the tribute hall.

Luo Yunxuan and the examiners tried to stop them, but were forcibly pushed away by the Yulin Guards.

They were no match for the well-trained Yulin Guards.

Even though Luo Yunxuan usually appeared to be a modest gentleman, he couldn't help but get angry at this moment.

He shouted, "This is the Imperial Examination Hall. The examination has not yet ended. Do you have any respect for the law by trespassing in this important place?"

However, the Yulin Guards ignored him and rushed straight to the examination room.

The candidates who were originally sleeping soundly in the examination room were awakened.

The silent examination room suddenly became noisy.

Many people were asking what happened, and some were looking out.

Zhao Xian ordered the Yulin Guards to search the examination rooms one by one.

Everything in the examination room was turned upside down, even the examinees themselves were not spared, and each of them was stripped naked and carefully examined.

Luo Yunxuan wanted to call someone to help stop this group of Yulin Guards.

Luo Qinghan directly drew out the sword worn at his waist, and the sharp and bright blade drew an arc in the air and lay across Luo Yunxuan's neck.

Luo Yunxuan froze immediately and dared not move.

He looked at Luo Qinghan in disbelief.

"Are you crazy?"

Luo Qinghan said coldly: "My father gave me three days to investigate the leak. Now there is only one stick of incense left before the deadline. I must find out the truth within one stick of incense. I will not be polite to anyone who obstructs my investigation."

Luo Yunxuan asked, suppressing his anger.

"It's your own fault that you can't solve the case. What does it have to do with us? You're not going to frame me just to report to your father, are you?!"

Luo Qinghan: "Don't get excited, be careful of the sword in my hand. This is the sword of Emperor Taizu. Even after many years, it is still very sharp. If you are not careful, you will bleed on the spot."

Luo Yunxuan felt the cold breath coming from the sword blade, and his face became even uglier.

"You brought people to trespass into the important examination site. You have completely messed up this year's examination. Aren't you afraid of being blamed by scholars all over the world?!"

Luo Qinghan asked back: "Aren't you the one who really ruined the exam?"

Luo Yunxuan sneered: "Are you desperate and starting to bite people randomly?!"

Luo Qinghan ignored his sarcasm and said calmly: "The Ministry of Justice has already searched the Donglai Building, and the owner and the staff have been arrested. Can you guess what I found out from the Donglai Building?"

The sneer on Luo Yunxuan's face froze.

"I don't know what you mean by that."

Luo Qinghan said slowly and calmly.

"The owner of Donglailou confessed everything, including the assassins you sent to kill him, who have all been arrested.

You are the real boss behind Donglai Tower. When Qin Wen held a poetry gathering in Donglai Tower, he accidentally lost a copy of the Book of Changes, and the shopkeeper told you about it."
