However, what made him a little disappointed was that he did not find those two familiar figures.

Could it be that those two people haven't arrived yet?

Perhaps he heard Li Miao's thoughts, at this time, two more students came not far away, it was Ji Gang and Zhang Feng.

Because the position where Li Miao was standing happened to be directly opposite the two people when they came, the two of them noticed Li Miao immediately without having to be greeted by Li Miao, and hurriedly walked towards this side.

"Brother Ji Gang, brother Zhang Feng."

Li Miao smiled and greeted the two of them.

"Brother Sanshui."

The two also said hello to Li Miao.

During this period of time, because the exam was approaching, the three of them focused on the exam and studied hard at home. They hadn’t seen each other for a while, but there was a lot to talk about when they met.

However, not long after the three of them chatted, the door of Gongyuan slowly opened from the inside.

Immediately, the attention of all the students present was attracted, including Li Miao and the other three.

At this time, most of the students who are going to take the exam have basically arrived.

As the gate of Gongyuan opened, more than a dozen imperial guards walked out.

Among them, some of the Imperial Guards came out carrying tables and chairs, and then placed them in front of the gate of the Gongyuan. Four tables were lined up in front, and there were also four tables lined up not far behind the four tables.

A table.

Afterwards, four more civilian officials walked out. These four were all commanders of the Department of Rites, a department under the Ministry of Rites. Each of them held a roster in their hands, which was the list of students participating in the examination.

After the four ministers sat down at the table in front and put the roster on the table, it meant that the students were about to enter.

As required, the students quickly formed four long queues at the four tables in front. The long queue where Li Miao and the three of them were was for the second table from left to right, slightly in the middle of the queue.

A little further up.

In each long line, students enter one after another. First, the commander of the Rites Department confirms that they are themselves, and then the soldiers behind them check whether there is any cheating.

As for efficiency, well...it's indeed quite slow.

During this period, something happened.

For example, one student actually rolled up the copied note and hid it in the thick hair on his head. After he was discovered, no matter how much he knelt down to beg for mercy and cried bitterly, he was still dragged away by two soldiers.

.

Seeing this situation, a small number of students' expressions suddenly changed slightly, and they quietly threw the notes aside.

The most interesting scene is that a relatively fat student was suspected by Mr. Shi that he was not him, because the description of this person on the roster was that he was lanky, which could not be related to the fat boy in front of him.

Just when he was about to ask someone to drag him down, the fat man loudly defended that he was himself. He didn't know why his body shape had changed so much during this period. If you don't believe it, you can go find out the situation.

Later...it was found out that the situation was indeed what the fat man said.

I don’t know how much time passed, but it was finally the turn of Li Miao and the others.

Ji Gang was at the front, and it was him who took the first turn, then Zhang Feng, and finally Li Miao.

The official said without raising his head: "Name."

Li Miao replied: "Li Sanshui."

The official lowered his head and searched for Li Sanshui's name on the roster. After finding it, he raised his head and looked at Li Miao's appearance to confirm whether his appearance was the same as the one described on the roster.

Well...it looks roughly the same.

The official nodded slightly, and then put a check mark behind Li Sanshui's name.

Then, he said to Li Miao: "Okay, you can go in."

"Thank you, sir."

After thanking the official, Li Miao walked around the table, walked inside, and stopped in front of the table at the back.

Suddenly, two soldiers came to Li Miao. One took the luggage from Li Miao's back and put it on the table for inspection. The other opened his big hands and groped around Li Miao's body.

Check if there is any cheating stuff.

Being groped so unscrupulously on her body by a man, Li Miao felt uncomfortable all over, as if she had goosebumps all over her body, but this was a necessary procedure and she could only endure it.

Fortunately, the soldier's groping time was not long, and it was over in a short while.

Li Miao let out a slight breath and looked to the other side. His brows trembled a few times, showing a distressed look.

He saw that his originally well-organized luggage had been messed up by the soldier, and every piece of pastry given to him by the steamed-faced maid had been cut in the middle, and the beauty was instantly gone.

After the inspection, the soldier shouted to Li Miao: "Okay, come and take your things."

So, Li Miao came over and stuffed the things that had been messed up by the soldiers back into the bag one by one. There was no time for him to sort them out one by one.

"Wait a minute."

When Li Miao picked up his luggage and was about to walk into the Gongyuan, a slightly familiar voice sounded and stopped Li Miao.

I followed the direction of the voice and saw an official walking slowly towards this side, supported by several other officials. It was Sima Zhong, the doctor of the Department of Rites, who was in charge of this examination.

One of the deputy examiners.

Seeing this person, Li Miao's heart sank slightly, and a bad premonition suddenly arose.

"I have met the adults."

"I have met the adults."

"..."

When the four officials from the Department of Rites saw the deputy examiner approaching, they all stood up quickly and bowed with their hands in hand.

Seeing this, Sima Zhong waved his hands to the four of them, indicating that the four of them should continue to be responsible for their own affairs and ignore him.

Then, Sima Zhong came to Li Miao, pointed at him, and ordered the two soldiers: "Has all his luggage been checked?"

One of the soldiers said respectfully: "Back to the Deputy Examiner, I have checked everything and found nothing out of the ordinary."

"Yeah."

Sima Zhong nodded slightly, and then said in a business-like tone: "The examination is one of the main ways for us to deliver talents to the imperial court, so we must be careful and conscientious, and we must not be careless. In fact, I have already been here for a long time.

For some time, I have been secretly observing you two checking this student, and found that there are some things that were not done carefully enough. Therefore, I will check this student again."

The two soldiers couldn't help but look at each other in confusion. Every student had such an inspection process, and they really couldn't remember where the inspection was not careful enough.

But... As the saying goes, the first level of official college is overwhelming, not to mention that the deputy examiner in front of them is who knows how many levels higher than them.

Therefore, we could only follow Sima Zhong's instructions and obediently check Li Miao again.
Chapter completed!
