Chapter 25 Abolition of the Imperial Examination

The man soon woke up, and Dr. Liu pierced several of his big holes, stimulating all the little vitality he had left, commonly known as "returning to the light".

Governor Chen hurriedly stepped forward, and the master took everyone out and guarded the door in person.

"This official is Chen Hanyang, the prefect of Yunyang."

"I've seen my lord, it's a secret agent of the Teng Snake Guard, I was injured and rescued seven days ago, but I didn't expect to kill the entire village."

"You brought the plague from the village?"

"Yes, it is a kind of poison made from living people, it is poison when it is first hit, it exists on the human body for more than a day, it will become an epidemic and spread, the blood on that piece of cloth contains that poison, this poison is very evil, it was made by a person called Purgatory Valley, I can only find out that those people colluded with the ministers of the court, and Teng Shewei has already killed many people."

"Please give my body to the White Commander of the Teng Snake Guard." The man took his last breath.

Governor Chen knew that this so-called epidemic was created in such a cruel way, and it was so ferocious, that he was about to smoke, once this poison was used in the army, the lethality was simply too great, only one person was poisoned, and the rest of the people would be slaughtered by the epidemic, which was simply impossible to prevent, who would have thought that this was first poison and then an epidemic, and this Teng Snake Guard also confessed that this was created by someone in the court in collusion with the people in the Purgatory Valley, which is simply a crime of treason.

Governor Chen hurriedly sent a message to the person who sent the family again, reported the matter back, and took advantage of the opportunity that he could directly go to the table to write a letter and pass it back in the fastest way.

If you saw the solutions that Lu Manman said at the beginning, Governor Chen didn't think that this matter would be so serious, and now that a Teng Snake Guard has died, and these epidemics are still brought by this Teng Snake Guard, Chen Governor feels that this matter may not even be able to bear it by his own family.

Sure enough, the Chen family, who received a secret letter from Governor Chen's mansion, had a hunch that many people would die.

Although the Chen family is not one of the eight great families of Haoyue, but it is also one of the best magnates, it is really more important to use these magnates by the royal family than strength, after all, the eight great families have experienced hundreds of years, only because they have a strong heritage, they can survive in the change of dynasty again and again, but it is also destined that the people of the eight great families will not be the emperor's henchmen, and these magnates are all descendants of those who have followed the emperor to fight the country, and those who have suffered with themselves will of course be more trusted by the royal family.

The ancestor of the Chen family is the first generation of Wei Guogong, but now it is the fifth generation, Haoyue has been regarded as a country and a country over the years, and the Chen family has no chance to make contributions, so it has become the current Yishan Hou, unless there is any great skill, otherwise the downgrade is inevitable, but this does not mean that the Yishan Hou is not reused.

Chen Zhifu is the cousin of Yishan Hou, and he is the son of the Chen family after all, so Yishan Hou has always been very important to Chen Zhifu, and he also sent many people from his family to assist Chen Zhifu.

Danger comes with opportunities, Yishan Marquis dreamed of restoring the duke title that his ancestors had worked so hard to get, but he never had a chance, and when he received a secret letter from Chen Zhifu, Yishan Marquis felt that the opportunity had come, as long as their Chen family found out about this matter, they could make enough contributions to restore the glory of their ancestors.

Therefore, Yishanhou fully supported Chen Zhifu, not only sent his henchmen to send a steady stream of spirits and medicinal materials, but also sent more masters to help Chen Zhifu, and also sent a letter to Chen Zhifu, telling Chen Zhifu to resist and solve this matter no matter what.

After doing all this, it was guessed that the emperor had received a secret letter from the Chen Governor's Mansion, and the Marquis of Yishan also entered the palace to report the matter to the emperor, and personally went to the emperor's mother's family, Bai's house, to find the Bai commander of Teng Shewei.

Sure enough, when the next day of the court meeting, there was an uproar in the court, and the emperor was furious, not only sent the Jinyi Guard to track down the ministers who colluded with Purgatory Valley, but also sent the dragon guard, who had always regarded the royal family as a sharp knife, to strangle the people of Purgatory Valley.

The people of the Dragon Guard, all the most elite masters, although the number is not large, but each is an all-round master, is the founding emperor of Haoyue left to those unscrupulous descendants who do not fight to turn the tide, the leaders of the Dragon Guard are all children of the royal family, loyal to the Haoyue royal family all their lives, unless there will be something that affects the fortunes of the country, otherwise the Dragon Guard will not be used.

At this time, the Chen prefect has controlled the epidemic in several surrounding towns, and the Chen family has paid a very heavy price for this difficulty in grabbing time and credit, and basically emptied the Chen family's treasury, otherwise tens of thousands of people are waiting for the court to allocate funds for treatment, I am afraid that they are all almost dead, and now that they have finally calmed down, the emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief, praised the Chen family fiercely, and ordered the household department to make up all the money spent by the Chen family, and also rewarded the Chen family with a lot of good things.

What makes the Chen family happiest is that the mother of the Marquis of Yishan, Mrs. Chen, was named a super-grade duchess by the emperor, and the signal shows that waiting for this matter, the Chen family will really restore the title of duke, which makes the people of the Chen family cry with joy, and they have finally restored the glory of their ancestors.

With the crazy arrest of Jinyiwei, many ministers were implicated, and many ministers committed suicide, and the people in the capital were panicked, but unfortunately the emperor had no intention of stopping at all, because the emperor woke up in his sleep more than once, as long as he thought of the frightening poison, the emperor broke out in a cold sweat, those people only need to poison a random person, and then throw this person into the capital, within half a month, the entire capital will become a dead city.

After that, anyone in the palace had a fever, and they were all driven out of the palace, and the emperor also decreed that no matter who the family was, no matter how noble the status was, as long as there were symptoms of fever, all of them should be sent to the Hanshui Temple outside the capital for isolation.

After that, the emperor even issued an order to cancel this year's imperial examination, of course, in the name of the imperial court to pay attention to the people of all the towns near Yunyang, and Yunyang has been blocked, and those who want to come to the capital to catch the exam can not pass Yunyang, in fact, the main reason is to worry that there are people near Yunyang who are infected with epidemics and do not have a good way to sneak to the capital.

After a few days of recuperation, Xiuyuan and his party finally got better, and they also heard that there was really an outbreak of epidemic in Yunyang, and they all blamed themselves very much, if they hadn't entered Yunyang City, Yunyang would not have been closed down, and this year's scientific expedition would not have been canceled.
