Chapter 2 — Female Judge

As soon as he knelt down, he looked towards Chu Thien. Chu Thien did not look at him. Trieu Thanh's lips were gray. The Emperor asked: "Who entered the south room last night?" Trieu Thanh bowed his head. "Your Majesty, no one came in last night." I asked: "Can you say that again?" Trieu Thanh replied: "No one." I threw a thin piece of wax down in front of him. "This is the candle wax you used to print the pattern on the paper. The south room only uses this type of agarwood wax, which smells sweet when burned. Last night when you changed the title, a piece stuck to your sleeve and fell next to the car." Ta family's horse." Trieu Thanh's throat moved slightly. "It's not me." I took out a broken pen again. The end of the pen was engraved with the word Trieu. "Isn't this pen also yours?" Trieu Thanh stared at the broken pen, his shoulders gradually slumping. Chu Thien suddenly shouted: "Trieu Thanh! Before you speak, you must think carefully!" The emperor looked at him. Chu Thien immediately lowered his head to the yellow tile floor. Trieu Thanh trembled and said: "It's a close entourage of Ta Thi Tu coming to look for the villain. He said that the women's department question needed to be changed urgently, and Minister Chu agreed. The villain only took the outer layer of paper, not seeing the question inside." Ta Hanh Chu said: "Anyone can pretend to be an entourage of the Ta family." I asked: "Where is your entourage, Ta Binh?" His face did not change. "On the way back to the palace last night." "What a coincidence." I asked. turn around. Kim Ngo guards outside the palace brought in a man wearing a blue shirt. Ta Binh's mouth was still stuffed with cloth. Seeing Ta Hanh Chu, the corners of his eyes immediately turned red. The fingers in Ta Hanh Chu's sleeve curled. I said: "Ta Binh is not sick. Last night he planned to leave the city, go to Thanh Thach wharf and burn the carriage. I sent someone to stop him." The emperor raised his hand. Kim Ngo Ve pulled the cloth out of Ta Binh's mouth. Ta Binh immediately shouted: "Your Majesty save me!" Ta Hanh Chu closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he was calm again. "Ta Binh, what did you do?" Ta Binh was stunned. He didn't expect his master to ask this question first. Ta Hanh Chu said: "If you hide something from me, tell me honestly." A nice dagger. He immediately brushed himself off. Ta Binh knelt on the ground. "It's a villain who was suddenly possessed by a ghost. The villain saw the second lady of the Luc family studying hard, so he wanted to help her change to a familiar topic." Luc Minh Chau's crying immediately stopped. She didn't expect this pot to be thrown on her first. I asked: "You are just an entourage, do you dare to change the electric test thread just to help Luc Minh Chau?" Ta Binh did not answer. I said: "So the matter of An Tay's urgent dispatch being delayed by three days also has something to do with you?" Dispatches from An Tay to the capital only needed five days. But this time it took eight days. The Emperor pursued the responsibility of the station service system, but Thai Boc Tu, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Infantry pushed each other, until now the crime has not been determined. Today's electric exam was originally about this. If the female faculty candidates come up with a feasible plan, the emperor can rely on the newly admitted candidates to start the investigation, avoiding the old bureaucratic system. That's why someone changed the topic. Changed to an old essay on station translation policy. Then let Luc Minh Chau memorize my essay and win. After entering Van Hoa Academy, she only needed to present a "station merger order" to erase all traces of the delayed dispatch. When I made this connection clear, the elders in the palace all changed their sitting positions. The emperor's fingertips placed on the edge of the throne. "Luc Van Khe, if you already knew, why didn't you strike it in advance?" "The goddess has played it." I took out a wind bow from my sleeve.

The letter's wrapping paper was cut open. "Three days ago, the goddess asked the female examiner of the female department, Qin Daren, to transcribe it. The letter was blocked on the way. When it was sent back to Luc Palace, the seal was opened." Tan Daren stepped out of the line. She was the first female surveyor of this dynasty, her family name was Qin, her name was Tri Vi. "Your Majesty, I have indeed received the letter from Luc Van Khe. After bringing it to the palace gate, the inner lady said it had to be sent to the Ministry of Rites before it could be presented. The next day Luc Van Khe came to ask, I learned that the letter had never been delivered to the palace." Chu Thien's back bowed lower. The emperor looked towards Liu Zhong. Luu Trung raised his hand and pointed to the two inner servants to investigate. Ta Hanh Chu suddenly spoke: "Even if the change of topic is true, it cannot prove that the An Tay dispatch case is related to the Ta family. Luc Van Khe, from last night to today, you have been planning things step by step, isn't it just to win the prize?" I looked at him. "Of course I want to win." He paused. I continued: "I wrote an essay for three years, went through three rounds of exams, and was locked in the exam hall for eight days. Whoever the prize belongs to, it must belong to that person. You stole my manuscript, do you still want me to pretend to be noble and give up?" A few female candidates in the hall raised their heads.
