Chapter 24
It was not until dawn that Fan Xian received the long-awaited message.

A murder occurred on the east side of the Gongyuan.

A student was killed.

"With a sword to seal the throat, there are no unnecessary wounds, and there is nothing left at the scene." Wang Qinian said.

"Where are people?" Fan Xian asked.

"It should have been successful. I received information from the Gundam outside. It is a successful message." Wang Qinian said, "There is no deviation in the matter."

Fan Xian nodded, "For the rest of the matter, we just need to wait here quietly. For other things, someone will naturally push this matter forward. We just need to wait and see."

Wang Qinian said, "My lord, what if there are changes in the outside world? What should I do?"

"Don't worry, there is naturally someone outside who has been pushing this whole thing." Fan Xian smiled.

The morning exam will start as usual.

The death of one person is not enough to stop Chunwei. The poor candidates are the candidates from the two surrounding schools. They watched a man in black enter the Chunwei Gongyuan, and there was a huge scream from the side. Anyone will have lingering fears and be terrified for a long time.

But Fan Xian's focus was not on this, but on their test papers.

The test papers on the first day need to be sorted and bound. Fan Xian is binding the test papers with a group of invigilators and academicians from the Taiyuan Academy. In front of Academician Sun, Academician Sun smiled.

"Your Excellency is determined to take care of this matter?" Academician Sun said, "There are really quite a few similar papers. If you want to find them, I can find more than a dozen for you."

"Then I will trouble you, my lords," Fan Xian said.

Several people looked at each other, with a hint of joy on their faces.

After a while, several similar test papers were placed in front of Fan Xian. Fan Xian looked at it carefully and said, "I don't know if there is such a situation in the test paper of the last test?"

"Of course there are. The last exam was even worse. Academician Sun and I saw as many as 23." An invigilator from Taiyuan College said.

Fan Xian murmured and nodded.

"My lord! What are you doing!" Mr. Fang, the Ministry of Rites, just entered the main hall, and glared at Fan Xian, "Do you know what you are doing?"

"You want to stop me?" Fan Xian asked.

Master Fang didn't seem to have thought of Fan Xian's question at all.
"Master Fan, you are making mistakes, you are making mistakes that you may not be able to bear!" Master Fang didn't understand why Fan Xian dared to do this?He had clearly told Fan Xian that this was something His Royal Highness ordered. Could it be that Fan Xian, a disciple of the Prince, didn't even give His Royal Highness face?

Fan Xian quietly walked in front of Lord Fang, turned sideways and whispered in his ear, "I am not a member of the prince's family, and, let me tell you, I am the chief examiner of Chunwei."

This time Fan Xian gave him the final ultimatum, which was also the last to save face. Fan Xian didn't want to execute an official of the Ministry of Rites on the spot right now, but he didn't care about cleaning up this person after the end of the Spring Festival.So this chance is his last face, let's see if he wants it or not.

Master Fang looked at Fan Xian in front of him. He couldn't imagine what was going on in Fan Xian's mind at all, but his duties prevented him from continuing, so he had to say to Fan Xian coldly, "You can do it yourself."

After saying this, he turned around and left without continuing to talk to Fan Xian. He seemed to want to see how Fan Xian would end up being punished by the prince.

Fan Xian looked at his back, didn't say anything, and continued to turn his head to look at the subordinates of the Overwatch Council, "All are registered, and there is no need to participate in the afternoon exam."

"Understood." After that, he directly registered the candidate's name in the booklet in his hand.

Fan Xian heaved a sigh of relief, and academician Sun beside him immediately saw what Fan Xian was thinking, and made a judgment based on reality, "Master Fan, if this matter continues, the people involved may be very serious. There are many, and there are already a lot of people involved.”

"What do you mean?" Fan Xian asked sideways.

Academician Sun was stunned. It seemed that there was no better solution for a while, so he said immediately, "All according to your lord's orders."

Several people from Tai Academy looked at Fan Xian completely differently. As the highest academic institution in Qing Kingdom, they naturally sneered at Chun Wei's fraud, but even so, what could they do?Now there are countless people in power, not only officials, but even the princes are involved. They, a literati, can't afford to get through this kind of muddy water. They can only stand by and wait for death.

The current Fan Xian appeared here as if it was the dawn of the Qing Kingdom's literary world. Once the iron-fisted regime came to power this time, all the fraudulent forces would be defeated. But they also knew what Fan Xian was about to face, and there was nothing they could do. Only provide support from behind.

They are not worried.

Because there is the Overwatch Council.

It was at this very moment that the people of the Tai Academy felt that the Overwatch Council was not all a terrible place.

The afternoon test was going on normally, and everything outside became noisy.

There seemed to be a haze over the whole sky, ready to rain at any moment.

……

In front of the gate of the Taihe Palace, a group of people were kneeling in unison. The censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the academicians of the Senate all brought their confidants to wait for His Majesty. This incident has already caused a shock in the whole country.

Assassination by Chunwei!

Assassins enter the Tribute Academy!
Fireproof at night!

In one day, three major events unheard of in the capital city occurred, and the imperial study room was filled with memorials one by one.

Emperor Qing looked at the memorial with almost all the same content with a straight face, and looked at Chen Pingping with bitterness and hatred.

"You'd better give me an explanation when it gets dark." Emperor Qing was not furious, although the situation was so urgent, he seemed to seldom get angry with Chen Pingping.

Chen Pingping said to Emperor Qing, "The Overwatch Council's explanation is naturally for the person in charge of this matter, not for the ministers."

"Tomorrow afternoon, after the end of the Spring Festival, order the Ministry of Punishment, the Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the academicians of the Senate, the academicians of the Taiyuan Academy, Fan Xian, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, and all other officials of the fifth rank and above who participated in the Spring Festival to enter the Taihe Hall." Qing said the emperor.

"Yes!" Eunuch Hou immediately withdrew from the imperial study to deliver the order.

"Who is so bold?" Emperor Qing asked.

"The prisoner is already in the criminal department, so naturally the criminal department can give a result." Chen Pingping said.

Emperor Qing looked at Chen Pingping silently, "Fan Xian this time, it's more ominous than good."

"I can't tell." Chen Pingping smiled, "Your Majesty's eyes on people have always been vicious. Whether it's a mistake or a mistake, it's hard to say until the matter is settled."

"Tomorrow afternoon, you don't want to participate." Emperor Qing said.

"Okay." Chen Pingping just smiled, as if she had a chance to win.
