Chapter 177: Autumn Examination_2

"Didn't you see, when people in the county town heard the news, many of them bought firecrackers to celebrate. The scene was as bustling as if it were the New Year," Wenhan spoke of the situation at that time.

"They deserved it, the Qin family has done so much evil over the years, it's time for their retribution to arrive," Jinghan said bitterly.

"Yes, it's better not to commit evil deeds as a person, otherwise, you never know when retribution might come," Zhixin said.

The second piece of good news was the ascension of the new emperor. This new emperor was not any crown prince; if it had been a crown prince, the Qin family would surely not have fallen. The successor to the throne was the inconspicuous Third Prince. After his ascension, the Third Prince dealt with a large number of officials who had clung to the Crown Prince and the Second Prince. Then, to select more talent, he decided to hold an additional rural examination this autumn and a central examination next spring.
