The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people

Chapter 790 The Whetstone Delivered to Your Door

There shouldn't be any snakes appearing near the Imperial Examination Hall at this time. In order to prevent various snakes, insects, rats and ants from appearing and disturbing the candidates' examinations, the Imperial Examination Hall had taken insect prevention measures a month ago, such as spreading realgar powder. There was still a smell when Liang Chongyue went there two days ago.

It can't be completely dispersed. If the snake appears now, it must be human-caused, then there must be something fishy.

Liang Chongyue put down his brush, leaned back on the dragon throne with a serious expression, and watched the farce outside the Imperial Examination Hall quietly.

With the presence of Li Yu'an and Li Wen, both veteran invigilators of the Spring Examination, this small matter was quickly handled.

Liang Chongyue looked at the panel. When Zhou Xuan and her men came out of the inspection compartment, the people following behind her were holding sacks in their hands. From the outside, you could see how big the wildly twisted snake inside was.

The girls who had just finished the examination still had pale faces from being frightened.

Liang Chongyue's face darkened slightly when he saw this.

"Increase inspections at all checkpoints. I want to see who these people are working for, even with all the effort and effort they put into this."

A clear voice came from the panel. Liang Chongyue's expression brightened slightly after hearing it. He stopped bothering with this matter and continued to review the memorials.

Even if this matter cannot be found out now, the system will always be able to find out who has the problem after the examination begins.

However, Liang Chongyue is not sure whether the person behind this is targeting Minglang or just wants to cheat in the Spring Examination.

To be able to reach into the Imperial Examination Hall and let such a long snake in, the mastermind behind this must have more tricks up his sleeve.

The imperial examination hasn't started yet, so this little magical power can't help anyone cheat.

After Liang Chongyue finished reviewing all the memorials, the outside of the Imperial Examination Hall became quiet. The candidates entered the Imperial Examination Hall. During these days, no one was allowed to approach the Hall or make loud noises. Anyone who violated the rules would be sent directly to jail for at least three days.

We will make a new decision later based on the severity of the situation.

After reviewing the memorial, Liang Chongyue opened the panel and transferred the split-screen image in front of the system to his own panel.

"Take your time to check, I'll help you."

The system was watching the replay to see who released the snake, and Liang Chongyue happened to see Minglang.

All the candidates outside the Imperial Examination Hall went in. The exam would officially start tomorrow. Minglang ordered someone to release the snake from the sack.

The smell of herbs inside and outside the Imperial Examination Hall could not dissipate at all, and the snake twisted in pain as soon as it was released.

Minglang looked at the patterns on the snake's body. It was a poisonous snake. If the tribute hall had not sprinkled enough realgar powder, the snake would have hurt someone today.

"Take it away and dispose of it cleanly. Strengthen inspections of the Imperial Examination Hall these days. If you find anyone or anything that's not right, report it immediately."

This snake came silently, and the person behind it was even more poisonous than the snake. Minglang really didn't expect that there would be someone who dared to cause trouble in the Spring Examination.

It was unclear whether the snake was coming for her or for someone else.

Minglang stayed in the Imperial Examination Hall all day today, and only returned to the palace at dark, just when the keys of the Meridian Gate were locked.

After returning to the Cining Palace, Minglang ate a bowl of midnight snack prepared by the Empress Dowager, washed up simply, and fell asleep.

Liang Chongyue had already received information about the snake's origins. Looking at the picture on the panel, Liang Chongyue rigorously estimated the degree of danger of the matter. After careful consideration, he decided not to catch anyone first, but just to give Minglang some practice.

Although it was just practice, necessary supervision was still necessary. Liang Chongyue gave the list to Fei He.

"From today on, keep this person under secret supervision. No matter what you see him do, as long as it is clear and safe, do not intervene. Just report it to me. Also, keep an eye on him."

Fei He took the list handed over by His Majesty and looked at the names on it with some surprise.

He already knew what happened at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall today and had sent people to investigate, but he didn't know if the person was the one on the list given by His Majesty.

"Yes, I understand."

When Fei He left the Yangxin Palace with the list, he was more curious than supervising this person. If this person was the real culprit behind today's incident, how powerful a detective expert did His Majesty have by his side? His speed was even faster than that of Qingyu Pavilion.

The system whose name was called was eating. It saw Minglang was hungry after having supper. The meal was just delivered and he had taken two bites when he felt his nose itchy. He didn't know if it was because he ate too fast and the rice went into his nose.

The system walked to the side and blew its air for a while, and when it found nothing, it went back to continue eating.

After the Spring Examination began, Liang Chongyue ordered the system to keep an eye on the situation in the Imperial Examination Hall and the post stations.

As for the person behind the scenes, Liang Chongyue was not worried because Feihe was watching over him.

On the first day of the formal examination in the Imperial Academy, it started to drizzle. The weather was already cold, and the rain became damp and cold. It seemed that the candidates in the Imperial Academy were about to suffer.

Liang Chongyue stood by the window and looked at it. After sighing, he turned around and went back to the inner hall.

The rain continued for three days, and it finally cleared up when the imperial examination was about to end in two days.

"Your Majesty, Prince Bao is outside asking for an audience."

Liang Chongyue had just finished reviewing the memorials, and without even putting down his pen, he looked at the memorials neatly arranged on the dragon table and shook his head helplessly:

"She came at the perfect time."

Yun Ling was serving beside His Majesty and guessed what His Majesty meant at a glance.

"Let her in."

Liang Chongyue put down the pen, and Minglang walked in from outside with something in his hand.

"My sons and ministers are meeting my mother."

Liang Chongyue turned his neck, which felt a little sore.

"Get up! Why are you not staying in the Imperial Examination Hall? Why are you here to see me?"

Minglang handed the evidence he had found to the case:

"Replying to the Queen Mother, I have found out who secretly placed the venomous snake in the compartment outside the Imperial Examination Hall that day."

Liang Chongyue raised an eyebrow and looked at her. Under Minglang's gaze, he reached out to take the evidence and opened it. He glanced at the name on it and let out a light click.

This person was indeed the one who ordered the snake to be released, but he was not the real mastermind behind it.

The court situation is complicated and confusing, with truth and falsehood. With the current manpower, it will not be possible to find the real mastermind behind the scenes in a day or two.

Not to mention that this person has prepared so many scapegoats for himself. If he stops after this, it will be difficult for Minglang to find him.

"What do you want to do? Just do it according to your heart. I believe you won't go wrong."

Liang Chongyue returned the list to Minglang. She didn't want to interfere too much in this matter. She would guide Minglang step by step to find the mastermind behind the scenes, but not necessarily now.

It's such a useful tool and it's a whetstone that comes right to your door. It's a waste to find it out easily without Minglang taking any action or paying any price.

Minglang took the list back and met the Queen Mother's trusting gaze. All the fatigue of the past few days was swept away.

"Yes, I'll do it right away."

Liang Chongyue sat on the dragon throne and watched Minglang's back as he hurried away, tapping the dragon table from time to time. The jade wick hanging on his wrist made a sound from time to time.
