To clear her father's name, Shen Chu cross-dresses as a man, passes the imperial examination to become the top scholar, serves as an imperial censor, and investigates old cases.

Chapter 350 Dogs Fighting, Was His Senses Wrong?
Granny Fang fell down naked into a long, narrow box.
The box was smashed, and her face was pressed against a hard object.
Shen Chu and Ling Ce, who were in the shadows, could see it very clearly.
The object pasted on Granny Fang's face was a skull, its white bones exposed and its teeth bared.
This frightened Granny Fang so much that she let out a series of screams.
Not only this one skull, but there were two or three other skulls lying next to Granny Fang, as well as pieces of bone.
The white bones shone with a chilling white light under the illumination of the palace lanterns in the four corners, sending a cold shiver down one's spine.
Jueming, who was immersed in the pleasure of love, was so frightened by this sudden change that he leaned back, his waist sank down, and he fell to the ground.
It withered.
Granny Fang crawled out of the pair of skulls with weak limbs, her face pale as she looked at Jueming.
Jueming's face was also very pale. He stared intently at the skeleton in the box and muttered:
"Strange, how did these bones get here? I clearly saw them..."
He stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence, turned and glared at Granny Fang.
"It was you, wasn't it? You dug up those remains and buried them here again?"
Granny Fang's eyes flickered slightly, and her face turned even paler than before.
"I... am not me."
"Who else could it be but you?"
Jueming's face darkened. "It was the two of us who buried them on the mountaintop back then."
We dug the pit together, and only the two of us know where our bones are buried.
It must have been you who moved it here without permission. Fine, that explains why you didn't want to be messed with here today.
"You said this place was creepy, but you clearly know there are corpses buried here."
Granny Fang bit her lip, her face deathly pale, but a cold laugh escaped her throat.
"On the mountaintop? Are you sure you want to bury them on the mountaintop?"
Jueming frowned. "What do you mean? You were the one who watched me bury it."
Granny Fang suddenly interrupted him sharply.
“I watched you bury it, but after I left, you dug up the remains and reburied them in the bamboo forest.”
If I hadn't remembered I needed to talk to you halfway there and turned back, you'd still be completely in the dark.
Jueming's expression changed slightly.
Granny Fang sneered repeatedly.
"Heh, you keep saying you believe me, but we're in the same boat."
Then why did you secretly dig up my remains and bury them elsewhere after I left?
Jueming looked at Granny Fang with a cold glint in his eyes.
"So after I buried it in the bamboo forest, you dug it up and buried it in the wooden house?"
Granny Fang raised her chin and gritted her teeth, saying, "If you can move, why can't I?"
*Smack*
Before he could finish speaking, Jueming suddenly raised his hand and slapped Granny Fang hard across the face.
The slap was delivered with full force, causing Granny Fang to fall to the ground.
Five clear finger marks appeared on his face, and his lip was also scratched, from which bright red blood flowed.
Granny Fang covered her face with one hand and pointed at Jueming with the other, her expression gloomy.
"You dare hit me?"
“You wretch, I performed a ritual when I buried my bones, and burned scriptures. No one will find them buried there.”
But you secretly dug up the box behind my back and buried it in the cabin. What were you planning?
A flicker of panic crossed Granny Fang's eyes. "You...I..."
Jueming's expression turned cold. "What? Don't think I don't know what you're up to."
Hmph, you've seen that the imperial court has sent another powerful imperial envoy. He's only been here two days and he's already sealed off Tianxiang Tower and dug up Bai Lianhua's corpse.
You got scared, so you secretly dug up these people's remains and buried them in another place.
"You bitch, you don't believe me at all."
Granny Fang covered her face, looked up at Jueming, and let out a shrill, cold laugh.
"I don't trust you? Bah! It's clearly you who don't trust me. If you trusted me, why did you secretly move my remains to another place after I left?"
Manager Zhao has been with you for quite some time, and you were able to push her out to take the blame, so naturally you can push me out to take the blame as well.
Is it wrong for me to be cautious and protect myself?
Jueming was so angry that his chest heaved and his face was extremely gloomy. He raised his hand and slapped Granny Fang again.
This time, however, the fan missed.
A pebble shot in from outside and hit Jueming's wrist.
Jueming let out a miserable cry, and his arm drooped limply.
Who's outside?
He looked outside, both surprised and angry.
Only then did they notice a figure appearing at the door of the wooden house.
"ah."
Granny Fang screamed and frantically grabbed the clothes from the ground and covered herself with them.
Ling Ce leaned casually against the doorway, spat out the foxtail grass he was holding in his mouth, and gave a cold laugh.
"They've already performed a live sex show; isn't it a bit too late to cover it up now?"
As Jueming put on his clothes, he asked in a sinister tone:
"Who are you? What are you doing in Daqingshan in the middle of the night?"
Ling Ce crossed his arms and slowly uttered four words.
"Imperial Envoy Shen Chu".
Jueming and Granny Fang's expressions changed drastically.
Pei Yuan, who was sitting on the crossbeam, also changed his expression.
His hand, which was resting on the beam, suddenly clenched into a fist, and his previously unwavering resolve began to crumble.
If the person standing on the ground is Ah Chu, then who was the person who was sitting with him on the crossbeam just now?
Could it be that his senses are wrong?
On the other side of the beam, Shen Chu glanced at Pei Yuan's ever-changing expression and felt somewhat guilty.
She didn't even dare to linger her gaze on Pei Yuan for too long, and quickly lowered her eyes to look at the person on the ground.
The discovery of the remains was so sudden that I was already racking my brains trying to figure out what to do.
Now that my third senior brother has arrived, things are much easier.
I never expected that this trip to Qingshan Temple would be so rewarding.
After a moment of panic, Jueming quickly calmed down.
"The Imperial Envoy? Why would the Imperial Envoy come to the back mountain of Daqingshan in the middle of the night? Could he be an imposter?"
Ling Ce tapped the skeleton in the box with his chin.
"Heh, whether I'm an imposter or not is none of your business. But I heard what you two said just now clearly."
"You two, shall we go to the yamen with me?"
Jueming put on his monk's robe, put on his prayer beads, and chanted a Buddhist mantra.
"Amitabha Buddha. Cooperating with the government in the investigation is my duty. I will go to the prefect's office to explain."
As for you, I don't know where you came from, you little brat, daring to impersonate an imperial envoy. I think you're tired of living.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his leg and kicked Ling Ce hard.
Ling Ce nimbly dodged the kick and threw a punch to meet it.
Before he could hit him, Jueming suddenly screamed and fell straight to the ground.
The kind where you fall face-first into the mud like a dog.
Ling Ce's fist, which he had thrown in mid-air, missed its target. He looked up and saw a person floating down from the crossbeam.
"Ah Chu, are you alright?"
Pei Yuan followed the sound and "looked" at Ling Ce.
Ling Ce was so shocked that his eyes widened.
Isn't this Pei Laoliu, the wild man that Junior Sister has?
What's he doing here?
Ling Ce stiffened as he recalled what had just happened.
While he was hiding in the big tree outside watching the live sex show, Pei Laoliu was sitting on the crossbeam watching up close.
grass.
He couldn't help but curse inwardly.
He had just managed to shake off Pei Yuan, so there was no need to feel embarrassed.
As it turned out, he and Pei Laoliu watched the same live performance of "Leaving the Palace" from afar.
They even got the best viewing seats in the front row.
I'm so annoyed.
Ling Ce looked up and touched his nose, then suddenly saw Shen Chu sitting on the other side of the beam.
He was so surprised he almost jumped up.
