Chapter 261 The examination room is about to be in chaos!
There were no fire brigades in ancient times, so once a fire started, it was not easy to put it out.
Even though Ye Chen was the emperor, if he encountered a fire that was deliberately set by someone, there would be nothing he could do.
"There are so many people living on the street. If these people set a fire, it will be impossible to control it."
“A lot of people will die.”
On the Jade Shang Tower, Ye Chen gritted his teeth. These powerful officials were so crazy that they could come up with such a plan.
In other words, in their eyes, the lives of ordinary people are not lives at all, but leeks.
At this time, Lu Niudan came to him hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, we checked half of the wineries in that area and found men in black inside. They seem to be refining fish oil!"
Lu Niudan's face was quite solemn. Even a fool would know what these guys were trying to do.
And Shen Qiu also came to Ye Chen.
She only glanced at Lu Niu Dan first, then clasped her fists towards Ye Chen and said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Guards have already investigated half of the wineries in this area, and they are all controlled by the men in black."
Ye Chen turned his head and looked at Shen Qiu.
"Are the men in black also refining fish oil?"
"Correct!"
Ye Chen said: "Go find Su Fu immediately and get the nearby map from him!"
Lu Niudan retreated immediately, but not long after, he returned again, bringing back a set of bamboo slips.
Ye Chen took the bamboo slips and unfolded them, looked at them carefully, then reached out and gestured on the map.
"Move the people out of these buildings, and then have them covered with water!"
"Notify the city defense troops and have them send someone over immediately."
"Once you've done this, take action immediately and arrest all those who are refining fish oil. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"
Ye Chen pondered for a moment and then gave the order.
At this point, he had already seen through everything and was about to launch a thundering attack to destroy the powerful official's conspiracy.
And we must nip all threats in the bud.
Shen Qiu and Lu Niudan obeyed the order.
Lu Niudan took his men away directly, and Shen Qiu ordered the imperial guards to do it.
The more than 1,000 people led by Ye Chen all took action and quickly evacuated all the people in the buildings he designated, and the streets were cleared.
Then, the imperial guards found water everywhere and doused the buildings with it.
Everything is ready.
The Imperial Guards and the Supervisory Office began to formally attack the men in black.
Climb over the wall with a knife.
Ye Chen could hear the fierce shouts and cries of killing just by standing on the Jade Tower and observing.
Then, accompanied by loud noises of "bang!" and "bang!", Ye Chen saw flames lighting up in one winery after another.
Many wineries quickly engulfed in flames.
Seeing this, Ye Chen secretly felt lucky that he discovered it early.
These guys prepared a lot of fish oil.
What if they spread the fish oil on the surrounding stores and then set them on fire?
Enough to set the streets around the examination hall on fire!
Even though Ye Chen discovered it early, the fires in the wineries continued to burn more and more vigorously, and even set fire to nearby buildings.
Fortunately, Ye Chen had people watering the buildings not far from the winery.
Even if the fire spreads, it won't spread far.
It was nothing more than burning down dozens of houses.
The city defense troops quickly went over and began to restore public order and comfort the suffering people.
But after Shen Qiu sent someone to greet them, the people from the city defense army helped the imperial guards capture those men in black.
There is confusion.
But within a controllable range.
It will not affect the examination room.
Seeing this, Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
This matter was finally suppressed.
But just when he was about to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Boom!" "Boom!"~
A violent explosion.
Suddenly, it reached Ye Chen's ears. He was slightly stunned, and then he saw fireballs appearing from several wineries.
"exploded?"
Ye Chen was quite surprised and thought to himself, "Did these guys prepare gunpowder?"
He was shocked.
Things like gunpowder had already appeared in the previous dynasty.
But now this thing is only used as fireworks.
Ye Chen never thought that the combination of gunpowder and fish oil would have the same effect as explosives.
It seems that he still underestimated the craftsmen in this world and the methods of powerful officials.
"Kill someone, kill someone!"
"God's punishment, this is God's punishment!"
"People are dying outside the exam room, and people are dying inside the exam room too!"
A loud noise suddenly rang out from the streets and alleys.
As soon as Ye Chen heard these sounds, he immediately looked for the source of the sound, but soon found that he could not find it at all. There were no people on the streets where the sound came from.
These sounds seemed to appear out of nowhere.
"Oh no, Qiu'er, follow me to the examination room immediately!"
Ye Chen rushed down the Jade Tower.
At this time, in the examination room.
Yun Fuyao, who was answering the questions seriously, paused for a moment and heard a loud explosion outside.
Immediately afterwards, loud shouts were heard in the examination room.
Yun Fuyao's body trembled slightly. As smart as she was, she was also very aware that something had happened.
But soon.
She heard fighting and screaming coming from next door.
When she stuck her head out, she saw several candidates had been beaten and were covered in blood.
One by one, the candidates were attacking other candidates with inkstones and benches.
These candidates all wore Bai Wuxiang masks and had no sharp weapons in their hands, but they were still able to smash people's heads and make them bleed. Moreover, they gathered in groups of three or five to commit crimes, and it was obvious that they were in the same gang.
Yun Fuyao was startled. She had no mind to do the questions at that moment and immediately rushed out of the examination place.
She was smart enough not to hide immediately, but rushed to where the examiner was.
She had to find the yamen runners and the imperial guards, and couldn't just sit there and wait for death.
The examination room was in chaos.
Yun Fuyao hadn't walked far before he was lucky enough to run into several armored imperial guards and the examiner Su Fu.
After Su Fu received the news, he immediately rushed there with the imperial guards.
But at this time, the situation in the examination room was on the verge of getting out of control.
