Some candidates are already very nervous.

Affected by the cheating incident, I became even more nervous and didn’t even know how to take the exam.

Jian Jinzhong still stood straight, fully cooperating with the Jinyiwei's investigation. A man of integrity has nothing to fear. At the same time, he was thinking that there was cheating in the imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty.

If he could become an official in the future, he would definitely put an end to this phenomenon and not allow any problems.

"No matter what, I will repay your highness for his kindness!"

Jian Jinzhong was thinking.

The last time we investigated, we couldn't find anyone with the problem.

However, those officials in the court who are related to the imperial examinations are already being monitored by the Jinyiwei, and they are being monitored one-on-one. As long as they make any unusual movements, they will be arrested.

"Everyone, get to your seats!"

Li Xu said, "Sit still and wait for the test. Don't move, or I will throw you all into the Imperial Prison."

When hearing the word "imperial prison", many scholars still trembled all over.

Of course they knew what a terrible place the Imperial Prison was.

However, these scholars sat down and no one handed out test papers, but no one dared to ask questions. After all, if they asked, they might be thrown into prison. So began a long wait.

Without Zhu Xuan's order, everyone can only wait.

Jiang Lin left the examination room, went back to gather the Jinyiwei, and went directly to the bookstore where Guan Yangping confessed.

However, the Jinyiwei people still need to keep an eye on some officials, and there may not be enough manpower.

He also ran to the Military Affairs Department and asked Ke Tianlang for help.

Without saying a word, Ke Tianlang brought out two hundred people, blocked the long street where the bookstore was located, and then slowly approached the bookstore, ready to take action at any time.

At this time, Lao Liu was packing up his things in the bookstore. He stuffed large-denomination Ming Dynasty banknotes into his pocket and kept them close to him.

All the cash was exchanged by Lao Liu for treasure notes.

This thing is more convenient to carry and is also quite easy to exchange. Nowadays, there are official money houses everywhere in the Ming Dynasty. Once you leave the capital, you can exchange the money in different money houses and get your money.

"boss!"

A servant asked, "Are we really leaving?"

He was reluctant to leave this bookstore because it was very profitable, especially during the exam preparation time, when many students came to buy books from him.

In addition, just buy some novels and sell them.

There must be a lot of people who come to buy novels every day, and they can all make money.

The money earned from cheating had nothing to do with the servant, but the money earned from selling books had something to do with it, so he didn't want to close the bookstore and run away.

Lao Liu said calmly, "It's not us who are leaving, but I am leaving. This bookstore is left to you to run, and all the money you earn is yours, but I will come back for the next imperial examination. Do you understand?"

"I understand. I understand."

When the servant heard that the bookstore could give it to him as a gift, he was overjoyed.

The little money he earned from selling books was already very satisfying to him, and he didn't ask for too much. Besides, his lifeline was in the hands of Lao Liu, and Lao Liu was not afraid that the servant would mess around and do something bad.

"I gotta go!"

Lao Liu’s things have been packed up.

Just as he was about to leave, there was a sudden knock on the door, which scared them.

The bookstore is not open today.

The news from the examination room was blocked, and people outside had no idea what was going on. It was even more impossible for Lao Liu to know what was happening now. He just heard someone knocking on the door and had a feeling that something was wrong.

"Who?"

The servant was a little annoyed when he heard the knock on the door.

He didn't plan to open for business today. There were still people bothering him!

"Go open the door!"

Lao Liu thought about it and said, "I have to leave and come back after the next imperial examination."

The servant nodded and went straight to open the door.

However, the moment the door of the bookstore opened, he was pinned to the ground by two Jinyiwei men, and his mouth was quickly covered. He had no idea what was happening and was held down.

"Catch someone!"

Jiang Wei said.

The other Jinyiwei people walked in quickly.

Lao Liu was about to leave through the back door, but as soon as the back door opened, he was treated almost the same way as the servant and was pressed to the ground. He was immediately frightened and wanted to struggle hard.

The moment he was caught, he knew what was going to happen. His cheating must have been exposed, and he would die a miserable death.

However, he couldn't struggle free and was simply pinned down.

Jiang Li and Ke Tianlang then narrowed the siege and controlled the situation within the scope of the bookstore. The plan and action to capture people went quite smoothly and everyone was arrested before they had a chance to escape.

"My Lords, the people have been captured."

Immediately, a Jinyiwei came over and said something.

Now there is only Lao Liu and a servant left in the bookstore, nothing else.

"Who among you is called Lao Liu?"

Jiang Li came over and asked.

The servant didn't say anything, and Lao Liu didn't say anything either, as if they knew nothing.

"You won't say it, right?"

Ke Tianlang said, "Damn it, Lord Jiang, just torture them a bit, hang them up, pull out their intestines, slow them down, cut a few pieces of meat from their bodies to feed the dogs, and I don't believe they dare to say anything."

These are the most basic methods of the Jinyiwei.

Lao Liu might not be afraid, but the servant shuddered all over when he heard it. The methods of the Jinyiwei made him shudder all over and tremble just by hearing the names.

“He… that’s him!”

The servant pointed at Lao Liu and said hastily, "He is Lao Liu. I have told you everything. Please don't pull my intestines out. I actually know nothing."

"Coward!"

Ke Tianlang kicked the servant, and the guy was in so much pain that he couldn't make a sound.

Jiang Li looked at Lao Liu and gave a look to the Jinyiwei beside him.

The Jinyiwei understood what he meant, fumbled around Laoliu for a while, and took out a large stack of Ming Dynasty banknotes, all of which were large-denomination banknotes. Any one of them would be enough for an ordinary family to eat for more than ten years.

"How can a shabby bookstore be so rich?"

Jiang Li looked at it for a while and sneered, "It seems that selling cheating items for the imperial examinations is quite profitable. Someone bring him back to His Highness."

When he heard the words "cheating in the imperial examination", Lao Liu knew that everything was exposed and the Jinyiwei knew everything. No matter how much he struggled, it was useless and he was soon tied up and taken away.

"This time, I'm sorry to bother General Ke."

Jiang Wei said again.

Ke Tianlang waved his hand and said, "These are all small matters. Lord Jiang, please go back quickly! Don't let His Highness wait too long, and don't let the imperial examination wait too long."

"it is good!"

Jiang Li nodded and took the person away on the spot.

The current Jiang Li no longer has the arrogance he once had. After being with Zhu Xuan for a long time, his personality has become very different.

Jiang Lin had to report the serious matter of cheating in the imperial examination as soon as possible. In addition to reporting the results to Zhu Xuan, he also had to report a copy to Zhu Xuan. As you can imagine, there would be another bloody storm. (End of this chapter)
