Traveling through the emperor, overthrowing the empress dowager at the beginning

In the examination room.

All the candidates were shocked.

Ye Chen really dares to kill people.

The person killed was the son of a nobleman.

"Who else? Who dares to instigate again?"

Ye Chen's eyes were like torches. He thrust his sword into the ground and said in a low voice, "You all should return to your respective examination places immediately. The injured candidates will be taken away for treatment, and those who cause trouble will be arrested."

"I will personally review the case!"

"As for the noise outside the city, I will also quell it!"

"I will give you ten seconds now!"

"After ten shouts, anyone who dares to gather in front of the examination hall gate will be treated as a troublemaker!"

"nineteen!."

Ye Chen had already grasped the hilt of the sword. Given the current situation, he had no choice but to use drastic measures.

In the end, the candidates were forced by Ye Chen's toughness and soon dispersed.

The imperial guards, armed with weapons, followed closely behind them to prevent the rioters from gathering again.

"Su Fu, go arrest them! No matter how well those rioters hide, there must be witnesses around them!"

After the situation stabilized, Ye Chen immediately said to Su Fu.

"Yes!"

Su Fu's eyes lit up, and he bowed to Ye Chen and immediately led his men downstairs.

"Qiu'er, send someone to the place where the noise came from outside to see if there is a bamboo tube there."

"Lu Niu Dan, you go with us!"

Ye Chen said to Shen Qiu beside him again.

Shen Qiu and Lu Niudan also quickly followed the order and left.

Ye Chen asked someone to bring him a chair, and he sat in front of the examination room door with his arms and legs spread out.

"Qiu'er, send someone to invite the imperial physician to treat these injured candidates."

There were still candidates around, so Ye Chen naturally couldn't just issue an imperial decree to ask the imperial physician to come over.

"Yes!"

Shen Qiu immediately sent people into the palace.

Soon, voices of resistance emerged in the examination room.

"Stop, what are you all doing?"

"It was him, it was him. I saw him with my own eyes. He was the one who threw the Bai Wuxiang mask!"

"Catch him, this bastard, he's the one who gave me the wound on the head!"

"You said I hit someone, and I was still talking to you. It was clearly you who hit someone just now!"

The candidates began to accuse each other.

Some people even started biting wildly.

However, the noise outside the examination room gradually died down.

Ye Chen's face darkened slightly.

In the past, in order to prevent cheating, each examination room was separated from each other.

But this also made it easier for the candidates who were causing trouble to hide. In addition, the loud noise outside the examination room also attracted the attention of the imperial guards in the examination room.

Therefore, it is really not easy to catch those candidates who are causing trouble at this time.

And it's easy to catch the wrong one.

"Su Fu, only arrest those who can be identified. For those whose identities cannot be confirmed, write down their names, appease them with kind words, and release them."

The identities of the candidates present are already special.

Ye Chen thought about it and decided to only arrest the one who could be confirmed to be the murderer, and the others could be investigated slowly.

Su Fu, who received the order, quickly brought ten candidates to him.

Ye Chen took a quick look and found that all the candidates looked good, but at the moment they all seemed to be frightened.

Several candidates were pale, with cold sweat on their heads and trembling thighs.

Some of those whose performance was not so bad also seemed to be evasive at this time.

They had to be afraid, because the body of Cao Guogong's grandson was right on the ground.

Ye Chen really dared to take action.

"You guys are really bold."

Ye Chen smiled coldly and stood up.

"No, no, it wasn't me. It has nothing to do with me. You have no evidence. Why do you say it was me?"

"That's right, that's right. Those people who accused me did so because they saw it wrongly. This matter has nothing to do with me. I know nothing about it!"

"Even if you have an imperial decree, you can't arrest people at will!"

The arrested candidates tried hard to prove themselves.

"Humph, drag them all away and lock them up in a cold palace!"

"When they were caught, they were tied up and gagged to prevent them from making any sound."

Ye Chen didn't listen to the nonsense of these candidates and waved his hand quickly.

Immediately, the imperial guards stepped forward and tied up these people without any explanation. They stuffed cloth into their mouths and even covered their heads with cloth bags before dragging them out of the examination room.

"Your Majesty, what should we do with these people?"

After all the candidates were taken away, Shen Qiu came forward and asked.

"Lock them up first, then interrogate them. After the interrogation, notify their parents and other nobles and have them come in person or send someone to observe."

"As for how to interrogate, let me think about it."

Ye Chen gritted his teeth. In the current situation, these rioters must be thoroughly investigated, and a way must be found to pry open their mouths, and the nobles must also be convinced.

For this kind of thing, Ye Chen must do it himself.

He turned to Shen Qiu and said, "Inform all candidates. Candidates who are injured or feel frightened do not need to take the exam today. They can go home and rest and take the exam next time. If you want to give up the exam, you only need to report it."

"Other candidates who still want to take the exam can continue."

Although the situation was under control.

But Ye Chen also understood that with such a big thing happening, he naturally couldn't force these candidates to stay.

Some candidates were seriously injured and could not take the exam again.

"Also, did those men in black capture anyone alive?"

"Your Majesty, we only captured one person alive. The others either committed suicide or took poison. The only one who didn't have time to take the poison had his jaw broken."

Shen Qiu clasped his fists with a somewhat unpleasant expression and said, "Also, the Imperial Guards also lost dozens of people."

"Increase compensation for the deceased. As for the only surviving man in black, put him in the Sky Prison and fix his jaw. I want to interrogate him personally!"

Ye Chen said with a sharp look.

At this time, Lu Niudan also brought his men back.

"Your Majesty, we did find a lot of bamboo tubes."

Lu Niudan took out the bamboo tube he had found. Ye Chen took it and saw that there was a string connected to the bottom of the bamboo tube.

"Well, these powerful officials are learning my tricks pretty quickly!"

Ye Chen was very angry.

He had used this method to deal with Cao Tao before, but he didn't expect that this method would be used by powerful officials in the examination hall so soon.

What a bastard!
