In the dark night, the man was short, dressed like a commoner from Daliang, and his facial features were also similar to those of a commoner from Daliang. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't tell him apart at all.

Youyou squatted down and reached out to touch the other person's brow. The strangeness under her hand made her pause.

When he withdrew his hand, his originally white and tender fingers had been stained black.

"They used the crudest makeup to deceive the people of Daliang."

Youyou stood up and looked at Bai Jin: "He is not the only one involved in this matter. Without the cooperation of the people inside Daliang, they would not be able to act so smoothly."

Bai Jin nodded: "You are right. We found a few other people. In order not to alert them, we did not touch them for the time being. We only found a few animals to keep a close watch on them."

"We brought this man here because he was out on business. I guess what he wants to do is to continue spreading the plague!"

Youyou asked, "Can those people tell who they are?"

Even if there are speculations, substantial evidence must be produced to bring the other party down.

Bai Jin said mysteriously: "Do you still remember the teacher at Songyang Academy?"

"He was among that group."

Youyou's eyes were sharp: "He's here too?"

Of course she remembered this person. In the original book, the cheating in the imperial examination led to the destruction of the Su and Qian families.

However, no one knew that the cheating in the imperial examination started in Songyang County many years ago.

This person was also mentioned when the matter was explained to Sheng Jing in the capital.

Master Xun, Xun Kang, they are the most loyal lackeys of the Xu family!

"Keep a close watch, and don't alert the enemy for now. Let the prince handle all the complicated matters in the capital."

"Give this person to him too."

Bai Jin picked up the person on the ground and followed Youyou to Shengjing's yard.

Late at night, a man and two tigers were walking in the county government office and were soon discovered by the guards left behind.

Yu Liu appeared like a ghost: "Miss Yu, what are you doing?"

Looking at the extraordinary white tiger, Yu Liu was still somewhat wary.

In addition, the other person was holding a living person in his mouth.

She can feel it.

Youyou greeted Yuliu very politely, and then said the purpose of his visit: "Xiaobai and his men have caught the culprit of the plague, I am here to deliver him to the prince."

Yu Liu's expression suddenly became stern, and he looked at the person in Bai Jin's mouth with a bit more murderous intent.

"Please come in first, I will go and inform them."

Youyou nodded: "Thank you for the trouble."

Soon, Sheng Jing came over with big strides, followed by Lu Zhiwan with her hair scattered all over her body.

"Yu Liu said you caught someone? What's going on?"

Bai Jin knocked the person to the ground. With Sheng Jing's ability, he could easily see the person on the ground at night.

"Just him?"

In Sheng Jing's eyes, the other party was just an ordinary citizen of short stature.

Youyou nodded: "It's him, but he's not from Daliang. He's an enemy in makeup. The makeup on his face is the crudest. After wiping it off, you can see his true face."

Upon hearing this, Yu Liu immediately stepped forward and wiped the man's face clean.

Sure enough, he revealed a unique face, whose characteristics were the ruggedness and toughness that only the enemy had.

Sheng Jing's face suddenly darkened.

Lu Zhiwan couldn't help but say, "How dare they collude with the enemy and harm the people of Daliang!"

Both of them were extremely angry.

Youyou added: "Xiaobai and the others have discovered someone from Daliang who is related to this. He should be the mastermind behind this incident."

Sheng Jing asked in a cold voice: "Where is the person?"

Youyou said: "Since they are being monitored by Xiaobai and the others, we are not afraid that they will run away, but the prince should also know about this person."

Sheng Jing's eyes turned and asked, "Is it related to the Xu family?"

Youyou nodded: "There is the Master Xun that I mentioned in the palace, Xun Kang!"

"Xun Kang once worked as a teacher in the school of Songyang County. Even the dean obeyed his orders and was even involved in future cheating in the imperial examinations."

"However, Songyang Academy has run out of luck. It is useless for them to spend more effort in Songyang County. Now that Xun Kang has appeared in Yuzhou Prefecture, it can only be said that Songyang Academy has become a discarded pawn."

"Since cheating in the imperial examinations is not feasible for the time being, we have decided to try the plague. There is General Lu at the border and the prince in Yuzhou Prefecture. If these two places are hit by the plague, Your Majesty will definitely hold the Duke of Zhenguo and Prince Jing accountable. They deserve to be punished!"

No one treated Youyou as an ordinary child and everyone took her words to heart.

If the Xu family is behind Xun Kang, then everything makes sense.

The Xu family still wants Lu Dingjiang to die, and even wants Sheng Jing to die.

I don’t know what Sheng Jing was thinking. After a long time, he thanked Youyou and Bai Jin. After taking the enemy away, he personally sent Youyou back to rest.

The next day, the entire county government became tense.

After some inquiries, Yu Lin found out that the plague had worsened and the entire Liuyun County and Yunan County were under lockdown.

On the third day, an imperial edict came from the capital, reprimanding Sheng Jing and ordering him to continue to stay where he was and never return to the capital until the plague was eradicated!

As soon as the imperial edict was issued, the whole country was in an uproar, and Yuzhou Prefecture instantly became the target of public criticism.

The people of Yunan County and Liuyun County were especially regarded as a scourge.

The imperial court sent a large number of soldiers to strictly guard Liuyun County and Yunan County.

At the same time, news came from the pass again.

Duke Zhenguo Lu Dingjiang failed to guard the border effectively, leading to the spread of plague.

However, Lu Dingjiang is indispensable at the checkpoint, and His Majesty only gave him a verbal reprimand without any punishment.

But just a verbal reprimand is enough for others to make a fuss about.

Prince Jing's Mansion and the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion were both mired in the quagmire, and people immediately took action upon hearing the news.

From this critical moment, the enemy suddenly proposed peace talks.

Di Rong stated that the two countries would temporarily cease fire and they would send envoys to Daliang.

Sheng Hao readily agreed.

On the other side, the Nvhuang Kingdom also proposed to send an envoy to Daliang, which instantly made the situation tense.

However, the pressure from the Nvhuang Kingdom is not as great as that from the enemy Rong.

Everyone still focused their attention on the enemy.

"Send me to Daliang? How dare they?"

"That is to say, after killing so many people in Daliang, how dare you come here?"

"Aren't you afraid of never coming back? These people are really courting death!"

"Hey, you can't say that. When two countries are at war, they don't kill envoys. How can we, Daliang, a great country, be a ruthless bully like the enemy Rong?"

……

Nanyang Prefecture, Qian family.

"A mission to Daliang?" Sheng Jing raised his eyebrows. Listening to the news reported by Yuwei, he couldn't help but find it a little funny.

Since His Majesty issued an order for Prince Jing to garrison in Yuzhou Prefecture, the group set off for Nanyang Prefecture.

The Qian family and the Yu family also returned to Nanyang Prefecture together.

Lu Zhiwan sat on the other side and said, "There must be something fishy about this matter. First, the enemy colluded with the Xu family to create the plague, and His Majesty was furious and punished the prince and father. Then they proposed peace talks. I don't believe there is no inside story."
