Chapter 88 (2/2)

”Somebody reported that you brought the answer sheet into the venue!” The invigilator's gaze instantly became fierce.

When the words left his mouth, the attention of a few scholars who were currently finding their seats were instantly perked. Bringing the answer sheet? Wasn't this cheating?

”Fang Zhengzhi brought in the answer sheet?!”

”This isn't very possible? With his Roll Champion results in the county theory examination, even though he wouldn't be able to get a good ranking in the capital examination, but making it into the Second-Cla.s.s Roll wouldn't be a problem. Why would he bring in the answer sheet?”

”I believe it is for a good ranking! He knows that this time, the compet.i.tion in the capital examination is intense, hence took the risk of bringing in the answer!”

”Hmm, that's possible!”

One by one, the scholars started to gesticulate, and discussed softly.

”Theory examination answer sheet? The theory examination hadn't even begun, why would there be an answer sheet?” Fang Zhengzhi wasn't at all anxious. He continued to seat at his table, his face filled with an innocent expression.

The invigilator was taken aback. After being reminded by Fang Zhengzhi, he instantly managed to regain his senses. As the invigilator of the capital examination, he had the responsibility and task of maintaining order in the examination venue.

Hence, after hearing Li Zhuangs.h.i.+ report, he didn't think too much and directly walked over.

Now that he understood, the invigilator's gaze s.h.i.+fted towards Li Zhuangs.h.i.+. The meaning was clear, can you explain what you are reporting?

”It's the capital examination's materials! Inside, there is the original text of the Law of Dao, and a few answers guessed outside the exam!” Li Zhuangs.h.i.+ met the invigilator's gaze and instantly explained without concealing anything.

If the invigilator left at this moment, all his previous efforts would have gone to waste.

”Fang Zhengzhi, explain yourself!” The invigilator nodded lightly and looked at Fang Zhengzhi again.

”Hmm, we can't bring in materials?” Fang Zhengzhi heard the invigilator's words and looked as if he had just woken up from a dream, his expression filled with shock.

When the surrounding scholars saw this, they instantly began to laugh.

This Fang Zhengzhi was indeed dumb, he actually asked such a question.

This was the capital examination; how could he be allowed to bring in resources related to the Law of Dao. If that was really allowed, there would likely be people who would bring their entire bookshelf over.

”Obviously not! Bringing in materials is counted as cheating!” The invigilator instantly cited the rules.

”But the examination hasn't even started, this isn't allowed too?” Fang Zhengzhi continued to ask.

”No!” The invigilator could already confirm that this Fang Zhengzhi in front of him would definitely possess cheating materials, else he wouldn't ask such questions.

”Alright, then what are the punishments for bringing in materials into the examination venue?” Fang Zhengzhi didn't seem too worried.

But, the surrounding scholars already couldn't quite contain themselves.

Bringing in materials into the examination venue was counted as cheating, based on the rules, even if it was found out before the examination started, one would be removed from the examination on the spot.

If there were answers within the materials relating to guessing of questions, they would be banned from partic.i.p.ating in the next three rounds of examination.

”Fang Zhengzhi is going to be removed from the examination!”

”I never thought that this would happen, this is indeed the greatest news of this capital examination!”

”Indeed!”

The surrounding scholars also could confirm that Fang Zhengzhi being removed from the examination had already become a reality, except that this incident was too shocking.

Bringing in materials?

Then, reported by people on the spot, and then being removed from the examination...

Indeed, the consequences of some things came very quickly!

”Bringing in materials into the examination, following the rules set by the Imperial Academy, must be removed from the examination! About whether one would be banned from future examinations, it would require the personal judgement of the chief examiner!” The invigilator's tone at this moment seemed extremely cold and heartless.
