In the middle of the night, Zeng Wujing did it in front of the futon case, his body was motionless, he had kept this posture for a day, and there was no water in it that day, and he was haggard and old.

The candlelight on the desk swayed, pulling the shadows of the objects in the room obliquely, and the dim firelight created a somewhat terrifying atmosphere, coupled with the silence around them, ordinary people will be furious in their hearts, and a picture of fear will appear in their minds.

Call......

A breeze blew in through the crack in the window, and at some point there was a dark shadow in the room, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman, except that it was a human form.

"You're coming!" Zeng said weakly, his tone full of helplessness.

"You know I'm back?" the dark shadow's low, hoarse voice sounded, like a ghost talking, piercing people's eardrums.

"Hmm!" Zeng Wu nodded.

"When you are so honest and obedient, I will give you a good time!" The black shadow was as black as a black hole, and the light could not penetrate it, but was absorbed by its pitch-black body.

It not only absorbs light, but also absorbs the vital energy of a living person, and has become a dried corpse without blinking an eye, and remains in a sitting posture even after death.

After absorbing Zeng Wu's life essence, the black shadow shuttled through all corners of the mansion, and every time it appeared, a person would turn into a dried corpse.

At dawn very quickly, in a restaurant somewhere in the Imperial City of Amaterasu, a young man approaching 30 years old said to his companion: "Have you heard? Last night, there was a demon in Zengfu, and more than 200 lives turned into dried corpses overnight, as if they had been sucked by something, and it was said that some of the corpses had been hollowed out of their heads and internal organs, and the death was extremely terrifying and terrifying.

His companion suddenly felt that the chicken leg in his hand was not fragrant, and looked at the duck intestines on the plate and the tofu brain in the bowl, and actually felt like vomiting.

This incident caused a lot of panic in the imperial city, many people did not dare to go out alone, or stay at home alone, they were all crowded in groups of three or five, although they knew that they could not fight against demons, and it was better to have someone by their side at least to strengthen their courage, than to stay alone.

Amaterasu's purgatory, who specializes in arresting demons and sneakers, came forward and said that there was a monster in the prison who had escaped from prison and had been arrested and brought to justice, so that the people should not panic and be afraid, and the matter was settled.

People at the bottom will believe it if they don't know the truth, and only high-ranking officials and nobles know the reason for the destruction of Zengfu, and they must be inseparable from the king.

Because he was not a minister of the court, and he was a Jindan realm monk, he would definitely invite some masters to sit in the family, and the imperial city was heavily guarded, and ordinary demons did not dare to approach the imperial city at all.

Therefore, the purgatory division said that the monster escaped from prison and led to the destruction of the Zeng Mansion, purely to appease the people, and it is not like that at all.

........................

The Imperial City Examination of the Yan Kingdom has come to an end, and Yan Cai'er sits on the supreme throne of the Wangji Palace, and the following are all outstanding, full of economy, and carefully selected bachelors with real talents.

The age difference between them is a bit big, and Yan Cai'er will not keep them out of the court because of their age.

Yan Cai'er said at the beginning that anyone who has the talent to study can enter the court as an intern and wait for three or five years, and if he performs well and outstandingly, he can remove the word "waiting" and turn it into a formal official.

She also did this to prevent bad conduct from corrupting the atmosphere of the court, and the previous things must be resolutely put an end to, and corrupt officials must not be allowed to appear.

"You have proved yourself through hard work, and you can go to the major government departments tomorrow to serve, I hope you can do your job well, don't think about it all day long, the people of Yan Kingdom are still living in dire straits, and are waiting for your help, Her Royal Highness the princess and the people are staring at you, if you do well, you can naturally be promoted to a knighthood, and if you don't do well, you can only be replaced by others." ”

Yan Cai'er looked down at the incoming civil and military officials, she didn't beat around the bush with everyone, she went straight to the point, and talked about what should be said and said, and the rest was up to them.

"Weichen will definitely not disappoint Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!" said the Manchu Dynasty civil and military in unison.

"If there is nothing else, you all go back and prepare first!" Yan Cai'er got up and left.

Everyone below also consciously withdrew from the Wang Ji Palace, the first day they came to the eldest princess, her Royal Highness the eldest princess, she was still wearing her original clothes, not a special official uniform made by the imperial court, and it took some time to customize, but the cost was covered by the imperial court.

The Yan Kingdom was restored in an orderly manner, the missing talents of the major institutions were filled, the yamen and the six ministries that redressed grievances had principals, and the paralyzed system was slowly running.

Everything is expected to develop, and in a few months, the first quarter of the harvest will be ushered in by the people who have cultivated the grain, and then the people will not have to worry about starving to death.

Two days later......

The six books were handed over to Yan Cai'er, and Cao Bian was more anxious, so he came directly to the palace study to meet Yan Cai'er.

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, the soldiers in the military camp coughed nonstop, all of them were pale, weak, and looked like they had some kind of disease, the imperial doctor in the army not only did not cure the soldiers, but even he himself was infected with this disease, and his subordinates really couldn't help it, so I implore Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to let Lord Zhou go and see. ”

There were a lot of folds on the table in front of Yan Cai'er, and the content in them was no different from what Cao Bian said, which made her feel very strange, there must be something at work.

"Don't look at it, it's a plague!" Zhou Geng said as he sat next to him and drank tea.

"Plague! How can there be a plague in a good way, could it be that there is really a demon at work?" Yan Cai'er would take Zhou Geng with her wherever she went, even if she was in the imperial study.

"Some people don't want to make Yan Guo feel better, so they will naturally make some evil ways to make trouble in Yan Kingdom. Zhou more poured a cup of tea, looked at Cao Bian and said, "Don't worry, come over and have a cup of tea!"

"My lord, the soldiers in the barracks are dying, you can come with me to take a look!" Cao Bian's face was full of anxiety, how could he have spare time to drink tea.

"You run around the plague pile all day long, how long do you think your cultivation can survive?" Zhou Geng looked at Cao Bian, his face was obviously problematic, and he could see at a glance that the plague was hidden in the other party's body, but it had not yet broken out.

Cao Bian's face was frightened, knowing Zhou Geng's intention to let him drink tea, he didn't refuse, this tea seemed to be unremarkable, he believed that it must contain medicine that could remove the plague, and he didn't hesitate to drink it all in one gulp.

"Let's go! it's not just the plague that is late, there's something disgusting coming. Zhou Geng put down the teacup in his hand, took Yan Cai'er and Cao Bian and disappeared into the imperial study.
