85 Going Home (Third Watch of the Night)_3

At that moment, no one knew what he had just experienced in his heart.

"All these candidates who passed are innocent, right?" he suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Magistrate Luo was taken aback, and then after a moment, he murmured, "Yes, since you didn't fail, there's no reason to believe that any of them took an unfair spot in the examination."

Xiao Liulang looked at those candidates and said, "If they were to retake the test, some of them would fail, right?"

Magistrate Luo sighed and nodded. It was inevitable. The pressure of having to retake an exam would affect their performance.

"And what about you, Magistrate Luo?" Xiao Liulang asked.

"I...what?" Magistrate Luo was taken aback.

Xiao Liulang said, "I've heard that your term is nearly up. A reexamination is a serious matter and needs to be reported to the imperial court. This would negatively affect your chances of reappointment, wouldn't it?"

Magistrate Luo reluctantly nodded in agreement.
