Soon, Wang Yuan was invited over.

"Lord Feng, why are you looking for me at this time?" He is very busy here. There are so many patients with epidemic diseases who need his care, and there are also various materials to be mobilized. He must pay attention to all of them and cannot let anything go wrong.

"I have already investigated the whole matter. I need to take the officials here back to Xianyang to convict them." Feng Jie looked at Wang Yuan and said.

In a few years, Wang Yuan also grew up rapidly. Feng Jie was still a little envious, because his sons' qualifications were rather mediocre.

There have been several official assessments over the years, and only two people passed. Because they had no ability, they were assigned to less important positions.

Wang Yuan is already a close minister to the emperor and is quite trusted by His Majesty.

"Can I see the results of the interrogation?" Wang Yuan looked at Feng Jie and asked.

The situation here is a bit bad. During this period, almost all the high-level officials were captured by Feng Jie, and only a few officials are left. Fortunately, he brought a lot of people from Xianyang, otherwise there would be no one available.

"Yes." Feng Jie nodded and handed the interrogation report on the table to Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan read it quickly, his expression becoming increasingly grim.

"Are those people crazy? They actually do this just to avoid affecting their official careers and leaving no stain?" Wang Yuan was furious.

The promotion system for officials in the court was gradually improved. If one wanted to be promoted, in addition to having absolute merits, he must not leave any stains.

This time the epidemic came suddenly and violently. At first, it only spread in one county. The county magistrate directly ordered the execution of those who were seriously affected. He did not dare to report it, so he concealed the matter.

However, he knew that he could not hide it, so he used his savings to bribe officials at all levels in Lingnan, hoping that they would not bring up this matter during the assessment and hinder their advancement.

Just like that, when they thought everything was fine and the epidemic was spreading while they were enjoying themselves, the number of people infected with the epidemic increased rapidly.

The epidemic spread rapidly, and they wanted to resolve it before the court knew about it. However, they underestimated the severity of the epidemic.

Even if they sent doctors to treat the people infected with the epidemic, it did not have much effect. In addition, due to their various random commands and operations, the epidemic had spread to other counties.

This time they could no longer conceal the truth. If they continued to conceal it, even if the punishment of the Yi San tribe was abolished, they would probably be dragged out and punished.

The impact of this epidemic was so great that they only had one thought left: it's over, their lives are over.

After reading the results of the interrogation, Wang Yuan wished he could cut those officials into pieces right away.

"Not only did these people fail to report the epidemic, they also offered and accepted bribes. You should take people to raid their homes later." Feng Jie looked at Wang Yuan.

"Don't worry, Lord Feng, I'll go right away." Wang Yuan hated these people so much that they were not worthy of being officials.

After leaving Feng Jie, Wang Yuan went straight to find Li You, borrowed a few hundred people from him, and confiscated the homes of these officials one by one.

Seeing the copied things, Wang Yuan, Li You, and Feng Jie all fell silent. The number of these things was simply too much.

These officials have been here for a maximum of three years, and together they have embezzled nearly 100 million yuan.

"These people are going too far." Wang Yuan said angrily.

"I will take these things back to Xianyang first. Such a huge amount of money requires the decision of His Majesty." Feng Jie said seriously.

"Lord Feng is right. This incident has a bad impact, and these people must be punished accordingly." Wang Yuan said angrily. He had seen a lot of darkness in the officialdom over the years, but he had never seen such a bad thing as this.

Feng Jie began to rush back to Xianyang with the officials who had committed crimes and a large amount of money.

Wang Yuan and Li You continued to be busy managing the people affected. The impact of the epidemic was too great, and there were too few doctors brought here.

Even with the help of local doctors to treat the victims, they are still too busy to handle the situation.

Among them, a doctor developed a prescription for preventing epidemics. After Wang Yuan had people confirm that there was no problem with the prescription, he began to send people to various places to boil the medicine, so that everyone could drink a bowl.

Thanks to various actions taken by the imperial court, the epidemic was gradually brought under control, and some people with serious illnesses were gradually getting better.

Zhao Qingrui also breathed a sigh of relief when he received the news.

Fortunately, this epidemic was not smallpox or plague, otherwise she would definitely go crazy.

In two days, Feng Jie will be able to return to Xianyang, and then she will know the situation there in detail.

Zhao Qingrui's mood never improved when he thought of the memorial sent back by Feng Jie.

She hates those who are just sitting there doing nothing the most.

"Your Majesty, the examination will begin tomorrow. Can Your Majesty go to inspect it?" Shang Lian brought the memorial over and asked Zhao Qingrui about his next plans.

"Let's go and take a look." Zhao Qingrui nodded. Those who took the exam were the future of the Qin officialdom, so she was very concerned about this matter.

"I'll arrange it right away." Shang Lian said respectfully. Since His Majesty wanted to go and take a look, they had to arrange everything. If anything went wrong, they would not have enough heads to chop off.

"No need to make it grand. I can just take a look in private when the time comes." Zhao Qingrui said. If they went there with great fanfare, there would probably be many people who would deliberately show off and try to take shortcuts.

"promise."
