Black Silk Female Police Detective Exorcist

The last beautiful woman was the most glamorous-looking person present.

She was wearing a Hanfu, a court-style garment with a very ornate and intricate design. It was covered in decorations and incorporated some Rococo elements from the Western Regions, with a lot of lace trim as embellishment.

It looks beautiful, but this dress is also very difficult to put on and take off... After looking at it for a few times, Qin Huanyu couldn't help but activate her mathematical magic eye and secretly calculate how to take off the dress and how long it would take to take it off completely.

"Insolence! You lewd woman!"

Unexpectedly, this gaze seemed to anger the beauty, who glared back without any politeness and then launched into a long string of classical Chinese phrases.

Qin Huanyu's head was buzzing, but she understood the general meaning: they were basically criticizing her for being rude and shameless.

"Sorry sorry..."

Discussing how to undress the other person on the first meeting was indeed inappropriate. Qin Huanyu readily admitted her mistake and offered a brief explanation:

"I really didn't mean anything by it. I just thought your dress was amazing, and I couldn't help but analyze its structure from a purely scientific perspective... Please forgive my intrusion."

"……snort."

Qin Huanyu's apology was quite sincere, and her explanation was logical.

So the classical beauty who should be Wang Ruoxi just glared at Qin Huanyu again, but didn't pursue her rudeness any further, and continued to wait patiently.

Ten minutes later, accompanied by a sweet voice saying, "My wives are all so beautiful!" Princess Wu Xiqun arrived.

She smiled and greeted her five potential wives one by one, hugging or rubbing against each of them as she greeted them before taking her seat. She then rested her chin on her hand and looked around at the five women, openly admiring their hot and alluring figures.

This princess seemed to be strikingly similar to Qin Huanyu in some ways. Qin Huanyu could clearly feel that the princess's gaze lingered most on the black pantyhose under her hot pants, the flesh-colored pantyhose under Nangong Yue's bodycon skirt, and the fine fishnet pantyhose through the slit in Yi Youyou's cheongsam. She would also steal glances at the heart-shaped opening in Yuan Tingxue's Taoist robe, but she had little interest in Wang Ruoxi's obviously elaborate and gorgeous clothes.

This made Wang Ruoxi's pretty face turn noticeably pale, and there was some annoyance in her eyes, but she suppressed it.

Qin Huanyu estimated that if Wu Xiqun weren't a princess, Wang Ruoxi would probably have already started criticizing her, using flowery language to accuse Wu Xiqun of being too frivolous and lacking artistic understanding.

Ten minutes later, the Empress, accompanied by several palace maids, arrived at the side hall. Accompanying the Empress were three white-bearded old men dressed in formal attire.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. Greetings, Grand Secretaries."

Everyone, including Princess Wu Xiqun, hurriedly stood up and bowed, only taking their seats again after receiving permission from the Empress.

Without a doubt, the Empress was the organizer with the final say in this princess selection process, so she had her personal maid read out the rules of the selection competition.

The entire selection competition consisted of 7 events.

These are respectively: strategies for governing a country, etiquette and manners, art, combat, willpower and temperament, persuasive skills, and enjoyment of life.

Five candidates need to compete in these seven categories. The candidate with the highest score who is not rejected by the princess herself will become the princess's consort.

Scores are calculated based on the rankings of each event: 5 points for first place, 3 points for second place, 2 points for third place, 1 point for fourth place, and 0 points for fifth place.

Princess Wu Xiqun can add 5 points to any contestant's final score unconditionally, or she can eliminate any contestant directly.

The competition rules are fairly fair and humane, giving Princess Wu Xiqun a certain degree of power to choose her own happiness, and no one has any objections.

So the Queen announced the start of the first project: an assessment of governance strategies.

The assessment method for this project is somewhat similar to the imperial examination in ancient times. The five candidates for princess consort will first take a written test, and then be interviewed by the chief examiner. The scores of the written test and the interview are added together to get the final score. The five people are then ranked according to their final scores and given points.

The three white-bearded elders of the Fengge Pavilion were the chief examiners and question setters for this project. If multiple people received the same score, the three elders would need to prepare additional questions on the spot for a supplementary test.

As the examination papers were distributed by the palace maids, the written test for the first item officially began.

Chapter 161 You're being a bit too radical

Qin Huanyu opened the test paper and placed it on the table, then began to answer the questions.

Question 1.

If someone comes to you with evidence, formally reporting an official's illegal activities, how would you handle the situation?

The original question stated this, without specifying the respondent's identity. However, since this is an exam for selecting princesses and future empresses, the respondent should approach the question from that perspective.

The correct answer to this question, or rather, the answer that is more in line with public opinion, is to investigate the accused official, gather solid evidence, and then conduct a trial in accordance with the law.

But Qin Huanyu could not answer that way.

Firstly, because of Yi Youyou, she really didn't want to be a princess consort, and this project wasn't one she planned to get a good ranking in, so there was no need to aim for a high score when answering the questions.

Secondly, once people participate in politics, they will inevitably fall into political factions. Regardless of Qin Huanyu's own thoughts, she has long been branded as a reformer and a radical, and her answers must also be radical in order to be politically correct.

Therefore, Qin Huanyu only thought for a few seconds before picking up her pen to answer.

[Conduct a covert investigation. If the allegations are true, kill the official involved first, then release the evidence of his crimes, claiming he committed suicide out of fear of punishment.]

That concludes the first question. Now, let's continue.

The following four questions, although set with different causes and processes, all had similar outcomes... They were about how the respondents would handle situations where they had ideological conflicts or personal grudges with officials at various levels.

Qin Huanyu didn't even think for a second before writing down answers, all of them were "kill!" No matter who she was in conflict with, no matter what the conflict was, and no matter who was right or wrong, she just kept killing, killing, killing, killing. Her words were filled with the style of a tyrannical and incompetent ruler.

It wasn't until the sixth question that the main type of question changed.

Modern society relies on the law to maintain order, and lawbreakers go to jail. However, some inherently evil individuals do not reform after imprisonment and often continue to commit crimes after their release, sometimes even more egregiously. Yet, their previous crimes are not serious enough to warrant the death penalty or life imprisonment. How do you think such individuals should be dealt with in a way that both upholds the law and effectively prevents injury and loss?

Qin Huanyu frowned at this question.

There's clearly no right answer here, right? If there were, it would have been implemented long ago... Putting questions with no right answers on the exam paper? What are the old men at Fengge up to?

'never mind……'

After hesitating for a few seconds, Qin Huanyu gently shook her head.

It didn't matter what the people from Fengge thought. Since they had put the problem in the exam paper, Qin Huanyu had to answer it... She happened to know a way to solve this problem perfectly, although the method itself had some problems.

A mischievous smirk appeared on Qin Huanyu's lips as she picked up her pen to reply.

[I can develop a chip that can be implanted into the brains of released prisoners. This chip can predict a criminal's thoughts using bioelectric currents, stopping them with a surge of electricity. It can also explode inside the criminal's brain just before they harm others, killing them instantly.]

next question.

As people's economic level and spiritual pursuits improve, marriage and birth rates are declining year by year. What are your concerns and solutions regarding this?

'Ah. '

Qin Huanyu chuckled inwardly, picked up her pen, and replied:

There's nothing to worry about. The technology for creating artificial humans has long been based on mature theories. As long as countries don't restrict it due to moral or ethical constraints, new people can be mass-produced continuously! Human technology has long since surpassed the limitations of natural reproduction; we won't perish because of declining marriage and birth rates. Those who have such worries are simply ignorant of science and worrying unnecessarily.

next question.

What are your thoughts on the rapid replacement of various basic jobs by artificial intelligence technology, resulting in a large increase in unemployment every year?

Qin Huanyu, without a second thought, began to write with lightning speed:

[Thumbs up! Technological development is an inevitable trend! Back then, our Holy Zhou Kingdom refused industrial innovation to save workers' jobs. What was the result? We fell far behind other countries, and our thousand-year glory was almost destroyed! Therefore, we cannot repeat the same mistake. All personal hardships must give way to technological progress! Replacing workers with artificial intelligence will be more efficient and convenient, and can effectively reduce injuries and fatalities in some dangerous jobs. This is a manifestation of technological progress and must be strongly supported and developed! Any job that can be done with artificial intelligence should ideally not be filled by humans!]

next question.

What are your views on other countries? Do you think the Holy Zhou Kingdom should continue to coexist peacefully with other countries or pursue its past glory and vie for world domination?

This time, Qin Huanyu hesitated for a few seconds before letting out a soft sigh and writing her reply:

This world only needs one ruler, and that is Her Majesty the Empress of the Holy Zhou Kingdom. A unified regime is more suitable for the development of technology and civilization, and since I am a citizen of the Holy Zhou Kingdom, then this unified regime can only be the Holy Zhou Kingdom.

Qin Huanyu gave almost identical answers to all twenty-odd questions on the entire exam paper.

The main way to resolve conflicts is through killing, killing, killing—eliminating one side of the conflict, and the conflict will naturally cease to exist. Other answers were also extremely radical, using methods almost exclusively those of a villain in a movie.

After 100 minutes of answering questions, all five people handed in their papers. The papers would be reviewed by the Empress and the three elders of the Phoenix Pavilion, and an interview would be conducted one hour later.

During this hour, Qin Huanyu originally wanted to go out and chat and flirt with Yi Youyou, but everyone chose to sit obediently in the side hall and wait. She couldn't stand out too much, so she could only pretend to be meditating and find some amusement in the jade net.

Soon, an hour had passed, the review of the papers was finished, and the interviews began.

The first person called upon for an interview was Yi Youyou. One of the three Grand Secretaries was in charge of the interview, and the questions were mainly follow-up questions based on the previous test papers.

It's easy to see from the interview questions and answers that Yi Youyou also chose her political correctness. Regardless of her personal character, as Yi Qiushui's granddaughter, she must be a conservative. Her answers to various questions all prioritized maintaining the current order and stability.

However, society is clearly not perfect. Maintaining the current order and stability means that many problems cannot be solved with radical measures, and may even have to be covered up and delayed... Such an answer is naturally unsatisfactory.

Yi Youyou's final score was not high, but it wasn't low either.

230分的笔试（23道题每题10分）她拿到了143分，170分的面试她拿到了116分，总分259，秦环玉估计应该是第三名左右。

The second person to be interviewed was Nangong Yue.

After listening to her conversation with Elder Fengge, Qin Huanyu finally understood why Yi Youyou kept calling her Bi Chi Yue and Lv Cha Yue.

She was indeed a very shrewd woman, both in politics and in politics.

No matter what problem she's solving, Nangong Yue's core strategy is always the same: to outwardly appease you and make you happy, while secretly setting traps to continuously plunder you, leaving you feeling cheated and still counting the money for her.

This tactic was clearly that of a politician, and coupled with the fact that Nangong Yue actually offered many practical solutions to the problems, which made the three Grand Secretaries' eyes light up many times, she ultimately scored very high.

With a perfect score of 400, Nangong Yue scored 362 points, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, she should become the first place winner in this event.

The third person to be interviewed was Yuan Tingxue.

Before she could even speak, Qin Huanyu noticed that the old man sitting in the chief examiner's seat looked very unpleasant, and his hand holding the exam paper was trembling slightly, as if he was angry.

When the Q&A session began, everyone present, including Qin Huanyu, was stunned by Yuan Tingxue's answers.

Yuan Tingxue's background is similar to Yi Youyou's. She is the eldest daughter and successor of Yuan Qi, another core high-level Celestial Master of the Treasure Pavilion, and is an absolute conservative.

However, Yuan Tingxue's proposed governance plan made Qin Huanyu seriously doubt who was the real radical between herself and Yuan Tingxue... Compared with Yuan Tingxue's plan, Qin Huanyu felt that her answers to the questions were too conservative.

No matter the problem, Yuan Tingxue's solution always follows a single approach: simple and direct.

She wanted to gather all the extraordinary materials in the world to build a super mystical array with an effect that could cover the entire globe, allowing everyone within the array to live in a wonderful dream, where everyone could get everything they wanted, and there would be no more conflicts or contradictions, the world would be at peace, and everyone could live the life they desired in their dreams.

This kind of standard villain's plan was considered too radical even by the real radicals, so it naturally wouldn't gain any approval. Yuan Tingxue got a score of 0, locking in last place for the project.

Yuan Tingxue was quite dissatisfied with the result, pouting and complaining:

"This is clearly a perfect solution... Since there are already many people who are hopelessly addicted to the so-called anime and manga world, wouldn't it be better for me to create a real and wonderful dream world so that everyone can live a happy life?"

"If everyone is immersed in a beautiful, false dream, then who will ensure the continued development of human civilization and technology? What's the difference between this and a decadent, hedonistic lifestyle that leads everyone astray?"

Qin Huanyu couldn't hold back any longer and spoke up to refute Yuan Tingxue.

Why should we pursue the development of civilization and technological progress?

Yuan Tingxue stared wide-eyed, her face full of self-righteousness:

"The current technology is already good enough for people to live well. I think this is fine. There is no need to make any progress. We can all live together forever in our dreams."

"...I'm sorry, I misunderstood you just now."

Qin Huanyu was speechless, and instantly lost all desire to argue with Yuan Tingxue.

"Just now I thought you were being too radical, being a conservative... Now it seems you really are a true conservative, the most stubborn kind, to have such terrible ideas! A human race that no longer pursues the development of civilization and technological progress is better off being destroyed."

"Isn't that a bit too radical..."

"Stop! If you have different opinions, you can discuss them after this is over."

An elder from the Fengge Pavilion, who was serving as the chief examiner, interrupted the debate and allowed the interview to continue.

This time it was Wang Ruoxi's turn, the classical beauty dressed in gorgeous Hanfu.

Her interview elicited strange expressions from everyone else, their eyes filled with a hint of sarcastic mockery.

This woman is actually a saint.

When faced with officials who have committed unforgivable crimes, her response is to give them another chance.

For criminals who are inherently evil and unrepentant, she proposed to open art classes in prison to use beautiful art to influence them.

Her approach to the declining marriage and birth rates was somewhat feasible—producing a large number of films and television shows that celebrate the beauty of love and family happiness.

When asked about the issue of artificial intelligence taking away some people's jobs, her answer almost made Qin Huanyu glare at her angrily—she proposed prioritizing the protection of people's jobs, and that artificial intelligence should not be used for any positions that can be filled by humans. She argued that it would be better for technology not to develop so that everyone could have a job.

Her answers to international issues were even more outrageous. This artist, Our Lady, was a staunch opponent of war. She proposed resolving international disputes through intellectual debate—for example, by playing chess. When two countries disagreed, each would send a player to settle the score, and whoever won would be in charge.

In short, this Virgin Mary believed that the world is full of love, art knows no borders, any sharp conflict can be resolved peacefully, and there is nothing that cannot be resolved by going to an opera and having afternoon tea together; if there is, then let's recite poetry and paint together.

Naturally, a second score of 0 appeared.

Even the most moderate dove politicians felt that Wang Ruoxi's saintly behavior was too outrageous, and that if she were to participate in the important affairs of the Holy Zhou Kingdom, the country would surely be doomed.

Qin Huanyu was speechless. She didn't expect that this project would get two zeros. She was guaranteed at least a third place.

This didn't align with her scoring plan... Helpless, Qin Huanyu decided to let loose and answer more aggressively in the interview, hoping to get a 0 for fun.

The final interview finally began.

Somewhat unexpectedly, the person who interviewed Qin Huanyu was not one of the three Grand Secretaries, but the Empress and the three Grand Secretaries together.

They showed no interest in Qin Huanyu's sharp and decisive answers to the previous questions, and immediately asked her if she could really create the kind of chip that can be implanted into the human brain.
