The last team of Yellow Jade Servant returned and went to Zheng Palace, led by Jin Tong.

He handed a half-sized leather bag to the Hongyu maid Jin Ting of the palace Shangjiao: "This is the medicine powder given by Miss Zhao. Miss Zhao said that if there are too many people, the variables of taking the medicine will be too large, so it is better to sprinkle this directly, or throw it into the fire to burn it, and make sure everyone is within the range of the smoke."

To be on the safe side, Gong Shangjiao and the two elders chose to burn it.

The knife-wielding Huang Yushi surrounded nearly six hundred people in the square. A dozen braziers were evenly distributed among them. Jin Tong poured medicine powder into each brazier one by one.

White smoke rose from the brazier and spread in all directions, and the sweet fragrance of peaches enveloped the entire square.

The fly attached to Gong Shangjiao's body was still there, so he could only ask the two elders to go to the small hall.

After the powder was burned out and the sweet fragrance in the air was blown away by the mountain breeze, Gong Shangjiao and the two elders came to the outside of the Blade Hall to check the situation. Even though they were mentally prepared, they were still shocked by the tragic scene.

Among nearly six hundred people, only fifty or sixty did not react to the anthelmintic, and among those fifty or sixty people, those who had already gone to the clinic to get anthelmintic medicine were excluded.

The survivors followed Huang Yushi's orders and walked out of the encirclement tremblingly, their faces pale.

The few who had driven out the insects were pulled out and put separately, while the others were driven to another open space and could only return to their residence after the matter was over.

Jin Yingsheng was fine, but his wife, daughter, and sister-in-law were all infected.

He remembered that his sister-in-law would send his family desserts every quarter, which were said to be a gift from Manager Liu, as well as the white silver hidden at the bottom of the food box.

He didn't like sweet things, so he escaped the disaster, but he took the money. Now he was kneeling on the ground with his hands covering his face, not knowing whether to cry or what to do: Wu Feng was involved, and he was finished. He had worked hard for decades, and now, let alone a decent life, he couldn't even stay in the guard camp, and his whole family would have to do hard labor until they died.

Jin Yi, the red jade servant who had returned from the team that went to Yu Palace to fetch people, watched the whole process and was sweating profusely.

He swallowed hard and asked Gong Shangjiao in a low voice: "Zhi Ren, that medicine, can Old Zhi Ren use it now?"

Jin Yi was very upset.

As soon as Gong Hongyu took over as the wielder of the sword, he was sent by the Council of Elders to be by Gong Hongyu's side, but Gong Hongyu was not willing to let him know everything.

Regarding the matter of Wanhua Tower and Jiang Yunhong, if Gong Shangjiao had not obtained solid evidence and Jiang Yunhong, the Wufeng ground-level spy, was imprisoned in the dungeon, he would not have dared to believe that Gong Hongyu had ever done such a ridiculous thing.

Now it was even more absurd. It was obvious that it was because Gong Hongyu funded his old lover to become one of the shareholders of Wanhua Tower, and included Wanhua Tower in the list of secret bases of the palace gate, giving Jiang Yunhong the opportunity to drag the palace gate's side branches into the water, and then drag the Liu family into it...

"And Mr. Yu, it's not good to ask him to go to the clinic to get medicine." Jin Yi felt his face burning when he said this.

Although the palace had passed a message asking the guards, stewards and servants in all palaces to go to the clinic to get anthelmintics, and it was not publicly stated that Wanhua Tower was Wufeng's stronghold, how could there be any secrets in the palace?

This is because Jiang Yunhong's matter was kept secret, otherwise...

It's disgusting to hear that the father and son of Yumiya were fooled by two generations of courtesans without a sharp edge, and were given money, protection, and the opportunity to overturn the palace gates.

A few days ago, Gong Ziyu was yelling in Yugong that Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng were deliberately targeting him and persecuting the innocent purple-clothed girl. Yesterday, a guard from Yugong came back and told him what he saw in the clinic, and he fell silent.

Jin Yi felt that he might be the most shameful Red Jade Servant in the palace's history. If the elders had not told him to keep an eye on Yu Palace, he would have already submitted a report requesting to return to the back mountain to serve at the front line.

"Let's wait until we invite Elder Yue... Jin Tuyue to come and have Old Zhiren take a look." Gong Shangjiao was not used to Elder Yue's new name. He asked Jin Ting to get five pills from the doctor who was delivering the medicine and give them to Jin Yi: "I can't go to Yu Palace during this period, please take care of me."

In fact, he just didn't want to go. Gong Shangjiao felt nauseous whenever he thought of Yugong and Yuegong.

If it weren't for the Gong family's responsibility to suppress aliens, he wouldn't even want to stay at the palace gate.

Now, every time when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, he couldn't help but recall the countless complaints Zhang Xueming had made about him in the past, which forced him to reflect on whether he had really been poisoned by the poisonous miasma and had been fighting outside just to make money to give to a bunch of ungrateful wolves who would stab him in the back... His younger brother Yuanzheng didn't count. Yuanzheng was the most obedient and the cutest kid, and he didn't spend enough money on him.

"Shang Jiao, should we send someone to the Liu family in town now?" Elder Xue asked. It would take six hours to expel the insects, so they would definitely not just wait here.

Gong Shangjiao collected his thoughts and replied, "Strike while the iron is hot, so as to avoid more trouble at night."

Elder Hua asked the yellow jade servants to assign a hundred people to follow Jin Fu out of the palace to the Liu family. Jin Fu knew the situation in Jiuchen Town better than the red jade servants.

Of course, before leaving, Gong Shangjiao did not forget to remind Jin Fu: "Go to Zheng Palace to find Sister Zhao Zhao first, and then ask for a bag of medicine powder."

I don't care what time it is.

Who told her to give him such a big task temporarily in order to avoid working overtime at the Corner Palace and not let her brother Yuanzheng go?

Gong Shangjiao's words reminded Elder Hua: "Why didn't Xiao Yuanzheng come tonight?" The little girl couldn't use force for half a month, so it was understandable that she didn't want to go out at night. Gong Yuanzheng was the most active in these things in the past, so why didn't he follow Gong Shangjiao tonight?

Although Gong Shangjiao was also grumbling about this, he did not hesitate to help cover up when others asked him about it: "Brother Yuanzheng and sister Zhaozhao were busy in the Moon Palace all day today. They didn't have lunch or a sip of water, and they discovered something like that...

The two of them came back exhausted, but they still managed to check all the files and medical records sent by the clinic today. I accompanied them for dinner, but seeing that they were not in high spirits, I did not ask them to leave. "

He cleverly changed the order of events, praising the two little ones in his family for their achievements and complaining about their grievances, while also making a subtle complaint.

Elder Hua had indeed heard Jin Tong's report about their words and deeds in the Moon Palace. He nodded in understanding and praised, "They are both good kids. They should have a good rest. We have me, Old Xue, and Shang Jiao here. The sky won't fall."

He added: "Those servants in the Moon Palace who didn't know their limits have already been punished. If they go again, they won't be like today."

Elder Xue also said, "Xue Chongzi said that he would go over and watch over the children, and would not let anyone neglect the two children."

The three of them will not be able to sleep tonight as they have to wait for the results of the Liu family's cleanup.

Gong Shangjiao secretly regretted not sending the account book to Zhiren Hall, otherwise he could have asked the elders to help. If they couldn't do it, didn't they still have the young masters in the back mountain? What a mistake.

Going to the small hall to make refreshing tea, the three people couldn't help but express their opinions on this incident.

Gong Shangjiao mentioned that family rules should adapt to the changing times. Elder Hua didn't like to hear this and immediately frowned: "The rules of our ancestors cannot be changed lightly!"

Elder Xue seconded the motion.

Gong Shangjiao replied mysteriously, "Since the younger generation cannot violate the rules set by our ancestors, then why don't we open the ancestral hall and burn incense to ask our ancestors to come out and fix the loopholes?"
