Hearing the invigilator's words, the surrounding scholars all had an expression of ridicule on their faces, waiting for Fang Zhengzhi to be brought out of the examination venue. Fang Zhengzhi, on the other hand, sat quietly on the spot, as if nothing had happened.
"Fang Zhengzhi, follow me out!" The invigilator saw that Fang Zhengzhi didn't move, and urged.
"Why?" Fang Zhengzhi's face was filled with innocence.
"You bringing information into the examination venue is already considered cheating, yet you still ask why?" The invigilator was somewhat impatient.
"Invigilator, as the invigilator of this theory examination, you have to take responsibility for your words? I would like to ask you, did you personally see me bring information into the examination venue? "Fang Zhengzhi asked back.
The invigilator was taken aback. He indeed didn't see the information Fang Zhengzhi brought, but, there was a witness who reported it, furthermore, Fang Zhengzhi himself seemed to have admitted...
No, he didn't seem to have admitted it!
"Why don't you do a search?" Fang Zhengzhi saw that the invigilator wasn't speaking, and took the initiative to suggest.
"Search?" The invigilator was somewhat hesitant. The Great Xia Dynasty was a place that respected human rights, especially towards the scholars who were taking the examination. If there wasn't any concrete evidence, randomly searching the personal areas of the examinees wasn't within the scope of his authority.
"Invigilator, I personally saw him bring information into the examination venue. Furthermore, there is an envelope in his pocket right now, the information is inside!" Li Zhuangshi affirmed at the side.
"Are you sure?" The invigilator was still somewhat hesitant.
"Yes!" Li Zhuangshi nodded.
"Then … search!" The invigilator looked at Li Zhuangshi for a full three seconds, then finally gritted his teeth.
When the surrounding scholars heard that they were going to be searched, they all quickly stood up. Being searched in the examination venue was something that rarely happened, and naturally aroused their interest.
But, they also had some suspicions. Based on the personality that Fang Zhengzhi had displayed during this period of time, it wouldn't be so easy to search Fang Zhengzhi?
"Come! Come and search! "Unexpectedly, Fang Zhengzhi was extremely cooperative.
As he spoke, he took the initiative to stand up from his seat. Then, he very consciously flipped open all his pockets and took out some of the silver notes and pieces of silver from his bosom. Finally, he signaled to the invigilator that he could personally check them.
Seeing Fang Zhengzhi's actions, the invigilator felt that something wasn't right. He had also heard some rumours about Fang Zhengzhi, especially the incident that happened at the Serene Ink Pond.
The authorities might not be able to tell, but how could bystanders not be able to guess?
To be able to so delicately frame Cai Yongfeng, how could such a person be so easy to talk to?
What was wrong?
The invigilator couldn't understand at that moment, but Fang Zhengzhi had already indicated that he could inspect. As the saying goes, the arrow was already on the bowstring, it had to be released!
He had no choice, he could only trust Li Zhuangshi this once!
Instantly, the invigilator took two steps forward and began to search. Fang Zhengzhi didn't resist. He opened his arms, his expression calm and magnanimous, as if he was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
When Li Zhuangshi saw Fang Zhengzhi's expression, he too had a bad feeling in his heart. Fang Zhengzhi was too calm, just like an outsider. This was impossible. If he had information on him, he definitely wouldn't be this calm.
However, the information was clearly on Fang Zhengzhi. Li Zhuangshi was almost certain of this.
"Nothing?!" After the invigilator searched from top to bottom, he instantly felt a chill in his heart. If he really found it, then so be it. But now that he didn't find it, what should he do?
His gaze very quickly turned towards Li Zhuangshi.
"Impossible, there is clearly it, I saw it with my own eyes, let me search!" Li Zhuangshi also didn't dare to believe it, and instantly began to search himself.
This was something that didn't conform to the rules, but Fang Zhengzhi didn't seem to notice it at all, and continued to open his arms with a calm expression, allowing Li Zhuangshi to search him …
And at this moment, the surrounding scholars also stared with their eyes wide open. They searched everywhere on the table, on the chair and on the floor. They all believed that Fang Zhengzhi definitely brought information into the examination venue.
But, why wasn't it there?
"Can I participate in the examination now?" After everyone had searched Fang Zhengzhi's seat and chair, Fang Zhengzhi finally spoke.
"Sorry for disturbing!" The invigilator frowned, turned and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute!" At this moment, Fang Zhengzhi suddenly stopped the invigilator.
"What's the matter?" The invigilator stopped in his tracks, but his heart strangely trembled. Because, he could clearly see the smile on Fang Zhengzhi's face.
It was a very harmonious smile, but, the invigilator felt a chill in his heart.
"The Great Xia Dynasty has always placed people first, and respects the examinees. Everything is fair and just. Just now, someone suspected me of bringing information into the examination venue, and then, I also accepted a search. I believe everyone has seen this. Then, according to the invigilator's principles, as long as someone makes a report, a body search can be carried out. Now, I also want to make a report!" Fang Zhengzhi revealed a slight smile.
"You also want to make a report?!" When the invigilator heard this, he instantly had a bad premonition.
"Yes, I, Huai Ying, have all of the examinees bring their information into the examination venue. May I ask the invigilator to check everyone who is participating in the capital examination one by one?" Fang Zhengzhi gazed at the invigilator, his expression relaxed.
"What?! You want to check one by one? "
"What logic is this!"
"Without any proof or evidence, what right do you have to search our bodies?"
The surrounding scholars instantly couldn't take it anymore, and began to clamour. But, when they thought again, they suddenly became somewhat speechless. Because, they had also helped the invigilator to check Fang Zhengzhi.
"Check everyone?!" The invigilator was taken aback. He finally knew why Fang Zhengzhi was so cooperative just now. Furthermore, he even took the initiative to request a body search. This was simply digging a pit for him to jump into!
Check one by one, how long would it take? The number of examinees for the capital examination this time was at least five times more than the previous years. The delay wasn't a big deal, but the commotion it caused was too big!
It would definitely attract the attention of the chief examiner.
But, if he didn't comply with Fang Zhengzhi, then just like what he said, he would lose the principle of fairness. Once Fang Zhengzhi used this as an excuse to create trouble, he wouldn't be able to do anything.
At this moment, he finally understood, who was the real lamb waiting to be slaughtered!
"This, without any proof …" The invigilator felt that it was extremely difficult for him to say these words. When he said these words, even he couldn't convince himself.
Because, under the circumstances where he didn't have any proof, he had conducted a body search on Fang Zhengzhi.
