Rebirth of the Princess She is weird

Chapter 33: Weird Scientific Expedition

Lu Yanxiu frowned and asked, "How dare you break into the examination hall? Don't you want to live?"

Yuan Fuge was shocked. How could this young general be different from the one she saw on weekdays? Today he was particularly cruel. Could this be the true face of the young general who fought on the battlefield? She was full of doubts and sat on the ground to put on her futou.

Yu Cong ran over breathlessly and asked, "Bo Tang, have you caught the thief?"

Lu Yanxiu stood up suddenly and hit his head on the guardrail behind him with a "bang".

Yuan Fuge already felt the pain. The boy tried to maintain his image and said sternly, "Hiss—Tell me who are you and why are you here?"

Yu Cong looked at him worriedly and said in a cold voice: "Those who can enter the examination hall are definitely not ordinary candidates. What is your purpose in telling me who you are!?"

These two people asked so many questions in one breath, but she didn't say anything. It was really...she didn't even know what her mother tongue was.

Yuan Fuge blinked, stood up and said, "I... ahem, I am a subordinate of the Grand Tutor, Helian Shenwan, and I have been ordered to investigate the situation of the imperial examination."

Yu Cong took a look at her. She was wearing a pale green round-necked gown, with a slender figure and a modest gentleman. Although her face was blackened, he felt that he had seen her somewhere before. He stared at her in a trance and murmured, "Helian...Shen Wan?!"

"What do you mean by Shen Wan tonight?" Lu Yanxiu huffed in anger. "Why would the Grand Master's subordinates be so effeminate? Are you lying to us?"

Yuan Fuge smiled knowingly and said politely, "We are all working hard for the country, so please don't mind."

Yu Cong immediately grasped the important information in his mind, 'Teacher's subordinates', that should not be offended, after all, they will work together tomorrow, he hurriedly pulled his bad-tempered brother away, and said in a gentle voice: "Ah, OK... then Brother Shen Wan, we will see you tomorrow, we still have to deliver the test papers tonight, so I will not accompany you."

"Okay, I wish you both good luck." Yuan Fuge bowed respectfully.

Early the next morning, there were many figures at the gate of the Imperial Examination Institute. A group of examiners, dressed in their official uniforms, were waiting at the gate to welcome Shen Que.

Shen Que was so powerful that none of these petty officials dared to show respect to him. They all bowed and nodded to greet him, with the flattery on their faces almost overflowing out the door.

Shi Song was the first to bear the brunt of the attack, bending over and smiling, "Prime Minister Shen!"

"Are you ready for everything?"

The examiner with a moustache and a righteous face bowed and said, "Prime Minister, please clean up the courtyard and keep the soldiers at their posts!"

"Examiner Lu did a good job," Shen Que announced with great vigor, "Let's get started. Remember, we must conduct a strict inspection and strive to be fair and just."

"Yes, Prime Minister, rest assured, I will keep a close watch on him!"

"Okay!" Lu Xiangshan walked to the outer courtyard with a gentlemanly look and said loudly, "Everyone, please pay attention. Enter now and prepare for inspection!"

There has been cheating since the beginning of the imperial examination. From the day of the examination, various cheating methods have begun to appear. Although cheating is against the law, it also shows the "cleverness" of the cheater. It's just that this "cleverness" is not used in the right way.

Imperial examinations are one of the fairest ways to measure talent. It is also the way for each prince to fill his own subordinates. The court is no longer enough to form cliques and factions. Only here can the purest "talent" be extracted. They have no foundation, so they naturally only care about themselves.

The soldiers at the gate were on guard, and they checked everything the examinees had. A man stood out in the long queue at the gate. He was dressed in rags and looked tired, but he would become a great strategist in the future. After his second brother had an accident in his previous life, he was able to return home safely, and he was not constrained by the Shen family and had no worries about money for the rest of his life. It was conceivable that his intelligence was incomparable to those ordinary examinees.

The examiner at the door whispered to Lu Xiangshan, "Examiner Lu, is everything ok?"

Lu Xiangshan held his breath and looked at the investigator over there, saying: "No problem, all our people and their belongings will have marks on them, don't worry!"

After the two of them finished talking, they walked towards the backyard contentedly.

After a long time, an official in a purple cloud-patterned official uniform came running to the door, shaking his beard and panting as he leaned against the door frame to catch his breath. Helian Furong, the supervisor, came late and walked into the yard alone. Shen Cheng immediately approached him with a smile, "Taifu was busy yesterday and didn't see you. I'm really sorry."

Helian Furong propped up his legs, panted and waved his hands, "It doesn't matter, as long as the scientific research is done well."

"Hey, Master, we are already here, why are you here just now?"

"Stop talking. The weather in the south of the Yangtze River is really hot and humid. I'm still not used to it when I first arrived." Helian Furong laughed and looked at the candidates who were already seated in the back.

Shen Que seemed to be thinking about something, blocking his sight and said, "I have just checked it out, so you don't have to worry, Master."

Didn't Shi Song say that he brought someone with him? Why is he gone? Could he be the person sent by His Majesty to thoroughly investigate the scientific expedition?

"Why are you alone?" He looked back and asked in confusion, "Yesterday the county magistrate told me that the Grand Tutor had a young man with him. I was thinking of meeting him."

Helian Furong straightened up and smiled, waving his hand indifferently, "She just came here to play, don't worry about her."

"How can a subordinate play while his master is doing the work? How can this be allowed!" Shen Que's eyebrows twisted in anger, and he cursed indignantly, "Just wait, I'll send someone to catch him and give him a good lesson!"

"Hey, hey..." Helian Furong walked up to him and pulled him to the corner, whispering, "What are you shouting about?"

"I'll help you teach that kid a lesson."

"That's me..." Helian Furong lowered his head and said in embarrassment: "That's my cousin's son. His father didn't like him making trouble in the house, so he put him here to train for a few days... Please forgive me, brother..."

Shen Que raised the corner of his lips and bumped his shoulder, "I didn't expect that the Grand Master would do such a thing as smuggling private goods?"

Helian Furong waved his hands in shame, blushing, "Please forgive me, Prime Minister Shen..."

This old guy usually competes with me, but I didn't expect that he would do such a thing as taking people through the back door, and even came to me for help. Seeing his gentle appearance, Shen Que felt relieved.

"Okay, okay... Let's go and see the candidates first, shall we?"

He put his arm around Helian Furong's shoulder and was about to walk towards the backyard. Just after taking a few steps, he heard footsteps from behind, and it sounded like there were quite a few people around.
