I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 119
"He just wants my prince's contacts in the army!" The roar sounded, and Prince Yu didn't care the slightest about the hidden Dark Dragon Guard knowing his anger, and even reported it to the Holy Majesty.

Although the eldest prince has to call Prince Yu an uncle according to his seniority, he is a son of a phoenix and a grandson of a dragon, and he may even be crowned a great treasure in the future. Prince Yu is now an idle king, and his two sons are also of mediocre qualifications.

In the future, Prince Yu's Mansion will only be a member of the royal family. The eldest prince has always been arrogant and arrogant, so it is normal not to take Prince Yu seriously.

And the contradiction between the two is the connection in the army. Prince Yu has guarded the border for 20 years, and the eldest prince is a general. If he wants to control the military power, the fastest way is to start with Prince Yu.

Back then, the eldest prince showed his favor and wanted Prince Yu's mansion to submit to him. When he ascended the throne in the future, he would definitely not treat Prince Yu's mansion badly. Unfortunately, Prince Yu strongly rejected him.

Glancing outside the window, Gu Qingzhou smiled and said, "That's the son of the Holy Majesty, you have to hold back your anger."

The Holy Majesty is now fifty-three, with a strong body, and maybe he can sit on the dragon chair for 20 years. In the eyes of the Holy Majesty, the tossing and tossing of the eldest prince is just a harmless disturbance. It is normal for a prince to have ambitions.

Prince Yu pointed at Gu Qingzhou furiously, his beard raised in anger, and just as he was about to speak, he saw a little girl hopping on one foot outside the yard.

"What are you doing? Do you want to fall again?" Gu Qingzhou also heard Zhan Feiyu's voice, and cast an angry glance at the culprit, Prince Yu.

"Teacher, I'm fine." Although Zhan Feiyu's leg was hurting, he still couldn't walk. He walked a few steps and jumped into the house.

Supporting the little disciple with both hands, Gu Qingzhou looked at the paper in her hand, "What are you messing about? I won't let Gu Yuan talk about something."

"Teacher, I know how Wan Yunhao was poisoned." Zhan Feiyu raised his head and laughed, Baozi's face was full of embarrassment and showing off.

Prince Yu was annoyed about how to take revenge on the eldest prince. Hearing Zhan Feiyu's words, Prince Yu immediately became interested, "Little girl, tell me quickly, is it Liu Jian's poison?"

Just like the eldest prince can only find Zhang Ming, a bodyguard, to spread his anger, Prince Yu can't touch the eldest prince, and he can't torment his dog legs!
Two quarters later.

Ji Chaoce, who rushed over from Leshan Residence, put down the paper in his hand, "There is indeed a faint smell of medicine, but it is covered by the fragrance of ink. According to what Xiaoyu said, the ink is likely to be drugged."

Because this is Wan Yunhao's original volume, Doctor Ji can only rely on hearing and cannot conduct further examinations, but there is a [-]% possibility of what he said.

"Mo Tiao has been tampered with?" Prince Yu frowned, and said in a deep voice, "In this way, Wan Yunhao was just stunned, and the husband Liu Tong took the opportunity to poison him."

Wan Yunhao was answering the paper at that time, and the drug in the ink was released little by little. Coupled with the high temperature in the closed room, Wan Yunhao thought he was suffering from heat stroke after feeling unwell, and he just wanted to answer the questions as soon as possible.

The amount of drug inhaled was increasing, and Wan Yunhao lay down on the table before finishing the last paper, and fell into a coma.

Afterwards, Liu Tong took the opportunity to pour the poison into Wan Yunhao's mouth, and then poured a little into the bamboo tube, causing everyone to think that Wan Yunhao died of poisoning after drinking water.

"Doctor Ji." Zhan Feiyu, who was sitting on the chair, looked at Ji Chaoce, "If the poison was poured into the mouth, then the autopsy will definitely reveal it."

Ho!Gu Qingzhou and Prince Yu looked at Zhan Feiyu in surprise. The words that this fair and soft girl said were so shocking.

The deceased was a big one, and autopsy was no small matter. It would be a gut-wrenching operation. The Qin family would definitely not agree to it, and those poor scholars in Nanxuan Mansion would definitely object, and it might cause turmoil.

Ji Chaoce has long been used to Zhan Feiyu's shocking words, "Liu Tong has hidden poison on his body, and his summer clothes are thin, so the porcelain bottle must not be too big. It stands to reason that the poison is only in the mouth and throat, and will not enter the stomach."

High concentrations of Aconite and snake venom can be fatal in a small amount. An autopsy will prove that Wan Yunhao was poisoned by Liu Tong.

……

As night fell, Zhan Feiyu, who hadn't rested since the afternoon, finally finished writing an art essay, two test post poems, and ten big characters, "Brother, let's go."

Yin Wuyan patted the little girl's head, stretched out her long arms and picked her up.

A moment later, three horses were galloping under the night, in the direction of the county school.

"Do you think Master Qi is raising his daughter?" Chong Guang, who deliberately lagged behind by a certain distance, clicked twice, looked at the figure in front of him and said, "I was supposed to go to the county school in the afternoon, and the fat girl wanted to study, so Master Qi postponed it Now."

Ji Chaoce cast a sideways glance at the meddling Chong Guang, "Can't Seventh Lord raise a young daughter-in-law?"

After being stunned, there was an earth-shattering cough. Chong Guang wiped the corner of his mouth, and gave Ji Chaoce a thumbs up, "Qi Ye can't beat you to death, and Master Gu will definitely make your life worse than death!"

Unaware of the nonsense of Dr. Ji and Chongguang behind him, Zhan Feiyu on horseback enjoyed the pleasure brought by the galloping horse.

Looking back at Yin Wuyan who was holding him behind him, his cheerful voice seemed a little broken in the night wind, "Big brother, I must learn to ride a horse in the future!"

Among the six arts of a gentleman, Zhan Feiyu can only barely get started with books and numbers, but she is interested in both archery and defense.

"Okay." A cold voice sounded, and Yin Wuyan, who was looking ahead, looked down at the little girl in front of him. Under the night, there was softness in his cold phoenix eyes. As long as it was what she wanted, he would do his best!
The three horses stopped outside the county school, and Yin Wuyan rolled over and got off the horse with the little girl in his arms, and smoothed Zhan Feiyu's wind-blown hair behind her ear with his left hand.

Seeing this scene, Chong Guang couldn't help but his eyes welled up. He didn't think about it before, but now it seems that Master Qi is really raising a daughter-in-law. Such a considerate gesture, tsk tsk...

After putting on the black iron mask, Yin Wuyan let Zhan Feiyu down with the courtyard to the north in sight.

"My lord." Xiaoqi Fade Chen quickly stepped forward to salute, "The humble official has sent people to guard here for the past few days, and no one has come here."

The case has not yet been solved, and the three rooms are still sealed. Nanxuanwei sent four people to guard here, guards in teams of two.

In addition, Zhao Jiaoyu made a special confession, so none of the students from the county school came here, so the food delivery man came over three times a day, but he was only at the gate of the courtyard and never entered.

"Both of you retreat outside the yard." Chongguang's attitude was haughty and indifferent, which was in line with the identity of the Dragon Guards who looked at no one and killed people without blinking an eye.

The seal was lifted, Chong Guang took a look, "Qi Ye, the seal has not been tampered with."

They came here once before, and when they left, Shigemitsu tampered with the seal, so that if someone broke the seal and entered, Shigemitsu would be able to find out.

Relighting the candle, Zhan Feiyu hopped into the room with one foot, saw that Doctor Ji was about to pick up the ink stick to check, and said, "Doctor Ji, wrap it in a handkerchief."

"Fat girl, even if there is something wrong with this ink stick, it's just mixed with drugs, and it won't poison people if you take it directly." Chongguang looked at the overly cautious Zhan Feiyu with a mocking look, and the fat girl was quite afraid of death.

Glancing at Chongguang with a chilly gaze, Zhan Feiyu handed the handkerchief to Dr. Ji.

"Qi Ye, is this girl despising me?" Chong Guang muttered, the look in the fat girl's eyes reminded him of when he was studying with Qi Ye, other accompanying students looked at him like idiots.

Yin Wuyan also ignored Chongguang, picked up Zhan Feiyu and put her on a chair.

Doctor Ji scratched the ink stick with a knife, smelled it carefully, and put it in his mouth, "The ink stick is fine, the ink stick that was mixed with drugs should have been secretly replaced by someone."

Zhan Feiyu, who was sitting on the chair, looked at the ink stick that had been put back to its original place, and then looked at other things on the desk, "This ink stick is the same as the one I used before, and it was taken from the county school warehouse. Yes, it is not difficult to imitate."

The murderer behind the scenes made a copy of an ink stick mixed with drugs in advance, and then put it in this room.

After Wan Yunhao was poisoned, he sent someone to steal the problematic ink sticks and replaced them with ordinary ink sticks. In order to distinguish the real ones from the real ones, the bottom of the ink sticks also had traces of grinding.

"After Wan Yunhao was poisoned, the three houses were sealed by the officials of Shangsi County, and then handed over to the people of Nanxuanwei to guard them, so those few people have the opportunity to replace the ink sticks." Zhong Guang Glancing outside the door, Xiaoqi Chen Fei and two of his men were guarding outside the yard.

"It's also possible that Liu Tong took the opportunity to change the ink stick." Doctor Ji who wiped his hands answered.

The incident happened so suddenly. Liu Tong tripped over the threshold and fell to the ground on the second floor, with a mouth full of blood. He went to clean it up at that time, and it is possible that he used this time to dispose of the ink stick and the porcelain bottle containing the poison.

Zhan Feiyu recalled the situation at that time, "It wasn't Liu Tong, Feng Daping was the catcher. At that time, he was standing by the table looking for fire notes. The ink stick was placed on the table. Liu Tong, who was squatting on the ground, had a chance to poison Wan Yun. Hao, pour the venom into the bamboo tube, but he definitely doesn't have time to get up and change the ink stick."

"And Liu Tong is just an insignificant person." Zhan Feiyu didn't think that Liu Jian would entrust such an important matter to a fast man.

"Big brother." Zhan Feiyu looked up at Yin Wuyan, "I need to prepare some things for the prince's trial tomorrow. Is it too late?"

"No." Yin Wuyan said with certainty.

Chong Guang rolled his eyes at the roof, and he felt more and more that his cold-blooded and ruthless Qi Ye had become the "faint lord" of the princes.As long as the fat girl opens her mouth, Qi Ye will respond to her requests.

The news about the Commander of the Forbidden Dragon Guards taking Zhan Feiyu and Dr. Leshan Juji to the county school reached Liu Jian that night. As for Zhang Zhifu, Tong Tongzhi, Qin Patriarch and Chen County Magistrate, they also received the news.

The candles were lit again in the bedroom, Liu Jian waved away the serving maid, put on his clothes, and walked to the small study connected to the bedroom.

The waiting middle-aged man bowed his hands and saluted, "My lord."

"Sit down and talk." Liu Jian raised his hand to signal the staff to sit down.

Waking up in the middle of the night, Liu Jian, who hadn't rested well, had a gloomy face, his eyes were cloudy, his eyelids were drooping, and his gaze was horrifyingly cold when he looked at people. If the matter in Shangsi County is not resolved, I will have no face to return to the capital."

"Tomorrow is the last day of the three-day period. Prince Yu will have a public trial. In the past two days, his subordinates have released the news that Zhan Feiyu is the murderer. Wait for Wan Yunhao's wife and children to come to court tomorrow Crying will definitely turn the situation around." The middle-aged man stood up and replied.

It is okay to slander Zhan Feiyu with gossip, but convicting her will never succeed. Liu Jian asked hoarsely, "Then the room is properly arranged?"

Gu Qingzhou and Prince Yu are not scary. What Liu Jian is really afraid of is the Forbidden Dragon Guard who is good at investigating cases. As long as there is a little clue, the Forbidden Dragon Guard will be able to investigate the case clearly.

The middle-aged man thought about it carefully, "It's absolutely safe, and besides, they haven't even found out how Wan Yunhao was poisoned to death."

Only then did Liu Jian's gloomy expression ease a little, "It's so good, don't take it lightly! As for those three people, we'll deal with them after the situation calms down."

"Yes, this subordinate obeys." The middle-aged man looked calm, only the dead can keep secrets.

……

Three days ago, the weather was beautiful, and Prince Yu set up the court in the open space outside the county government office, but today it was scorching hot, even in the early morning, the bright sun had already basked in people's skin.

Early in the morning, the officials of the county government went to the inn and the teahouse where scholars gathered, including the houses they temporarily rented, and delivered Prince Yu's order by beating gongs and drums.

"Just choose 20 people to go to the county government for trial?" In the lobby of Leshan Residence, some people couldn't help speculating about this matter with a skeptical attitude.

On the second floor, a few children from aristocratic families dressed in brocade couldn't help snorting, and said loudly to the downstairs: "Brother, if you are not afraid of being exposed to the sun, you can go and stand outside the county government office to listen. The prince is just out of kindness." , Brother, don’t judge the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!”

"It's also possible to move a chair, ask a boy to hold an umbrella, let a boy fan him, and put an ice basin in front of the chair." The boy who spoke sarcastically.

It’s not that he looks down on children from poor families, but that these self-proclaimed scholars hide shabby and humble in their bones. If you flick your robe, he will think you are laughing at his shabby clothes; if you say that the restaurant has launched new dishes today, he will think that you Ridiculous that he can only eat steamed buns for lunch.

More than a dozen scholars from farming families in the lobby suddenly became angry, but they were persuaded by the elders, "Why should you have the same knowledge as these Gaoliang children, Brother Wan's case is the most important now."

"Yeah, the murderer can't be found, and Brother Wan can't rest in peace under the nine springs. Let's discuss who should go to the court for trial."

The weather was indeed too hot, and many people couldn't stand it after standing outside the yamen for a quarter of an hour, so they could only gather in the restaurants and teahouses on the street of the county yamen to wait for news.

But this group of children from aristocratic families really asked people to move chairs and bring umbrellas, and only waited for the ice basin to be delivered after they were promoted. They were not short of money.

Zhan Feiyu paused and looked at this scene in astonishment. Those who didn't know thought it was a big show.

"Little Mengtong Zhan." The young man in brocade robe who was waving his fan smiled and bowed his hands to Zhan Feiyu. have a look.

Seeing the servant holding an umbrella for the boy to shade him, and seeing more than a dozen children from a similar family not far away, Zhan Feiyu couldn't help but said: "You can go buy some black cloth and use bamboo poles to set up a simple shed to shade the sun. "

Although holding an umbrella can provide shade, but these boys have to stand under the scorching sun and get fainted after a while, how can they hold an umbrella?

Seeing the boy's eyes brighten, Zhan Feiyu also laughed, "If there is ice, you can take a few wooden buckets and place them in a row on the left, right and back. After pouring the ice in, it will be cooler to fan the ice buckets." .”

"Of course, it's not good to go too far with the case of Wan Juren being poisoned today." Zhan Feiyu added, out of respect for the deceased, it's not good to enjoy it too much.

The young man in brocade raised his eyebrows, and his words were flamboyant and unruly, "A hypocrite is nothing but a villain, not worthy of my respect!"

Although the deceased was the oldest, and the children from the poor family were headed by Wan Yunhao, these children from the aristocratic family were more well-informed. They knew a little bit of the inside story in the early years, but they were afraid that the Qin family would not make it clear.

Furthermore, they would rather offend a gentleman, but Wan Yunhao is a villain who cannot be offended. The key point is that he is full of talent, and one day he will be named on the gold list. They dare not speak up, worrying about bringing disaster to the family.

Half an hour later, the expressions of Prince Yu and the others sitting in the lobby were chapped. A large black cloth shed was erected outside the county government office, and fifteen large ice buckets were placed in rows on three sides.

A group of servants fanned the wind non-stop with fans, and the cold air was blown away, allowing the children of the aristocratic family sitting outside the court to have a leisurely time, which was a pleasure.
