I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 134 The People Behind the Scenes
In the study, Zhan Feiyu, who was reviewing his homework, had no idea that Boss Zhan had an accident when he released the results on the first day.

In the main hall of the front yard, He Nuan put the tea on the table, "Catcher Zhao, please wait a moment, the lady will be here soon."

"Thank you, miss." Catcher Zhao hurriedly thanked him, looking out the door eagerly.

But when she thought that Zhan Feiyu could have such an exquisite small farm now, she must have really learned from Master Gu, so Catcher Zhao let go of her worries again.

Zhan Feiyu put down her book and came here in a hurry. She planned to return to Jinlin Village after the county trial release, so she stayed in the village for a few days, but she didn't expect something to happen.

"Little fish." Seeing Zhan Feiyu, Catcher Zhao immediately got up and greeted him.

The two were familiar with each other, and Inspector Zhao quickly told Feng Er's story, "Before Inspector Fei only thought that Feng Er died of a heart attack, and never thought that he had bruises from the fight."

"Stealing my mother's purse, my father and Feng Er got into a fight. Feng Er was found dead in the house by a neighbor this morning?" Zhan Feiyu's eyes turned cold, and his whole body was filled with murderous aura.

If this matter came to him, Zhan Feiyu would not be too angry, but the soldiers came to block him, and the water came to cover him.

But the people behind the scenes involved Boss Zhan and Mrs. Li, Zhan Feiyu had a playful smile on Baozi's white and tender face, and his small voice rose slightly, "So my father is going to be charged with manslaughter?"

Looking at the smiling Zhan Feiyu, Catcher Zhao inexplicably felt a chill down his back. Why did he feel such a creepy smile?

"Master Chen said that you have already adopted Xiaoyu, and this matter will not hinder you much." Catcher Zhao hurriedly said something. Fortunately, he was adopted, otherwise it would really be a big trouble.

Zhan Feiyu frowned thinking, this matter must be aimed at himself, "I'll go to the county government with you."

"My lord and Catcher Fei went to Feng Er's house. After the homicide happened, my lord asked me to come here. I don't know the specific situation." Catcher Zhao came in a hurry, so he knew the general situation.

All the way to the end of Hulu Lane on West Street is Feng Er's house. In fact, it is just two dilapidated houses that are about to collapse. It used to be the woodshed of the family next door. I don't know what method Feng Er used to buy half of them. Here we go.

"Captain Zhao, you go in first, I will avoid people and go in from the back of the house." As soon as Zhan Feiyu said, Catcher Zhao nodded in understanding.

He Sheng drove the carriage around and stopped at the side of Feng Er's two dilapidated houses.

After getting off the carriage, He Shengang was about to take Zhan Feiyu over the wall and enter Feng Er's house, but he saw Zhan Feiyu suddenly took several steps back.

Visually measuring the height of the wall, Zhan Feiyu kicked his right foot against the wall at the speed of his run-up. While jumping up, his hands were immediately supported on the top of the wall, and he jumped over the wall with a beautiful jump.

"Who is it!" An angry shout sounded at the same time, and Fei Butou immediately blocked in front of County Magistrate Chen, and drew out his saber with a swipe.

Zhan Feiyu, who climbed over the wall and landed on the ground, couldn't help laughing awkwardly at Magistrate Chen's astonished expression, "My lord, the student has offended me."

"You?" County magistrate Chen looked at the fence, it wasn't very tall, but Zhan Feiyu was short, and she was very agile.

Fei Butou put the knife back into the scabbard. The county magistrate Chen could only see that Zhan Feiyu moved quickly and quickly, but Fei Butou, who was a warrior, saw that there was some way to go. The moment Zhan Feiyu landed, he stopped Very stable, obviously practiced, and at least practiced for several years.

"Don't mess around next time!" County magistrate Chen said, but didn't blame him, "Since you're here, come in and have a look."

"Yes." Zhan Feiyu looked at the dilapidated small yard.

The yard is full of sundries. On the left is a kitchen, the door is crumbling. It can be seen that Feng Er rarely enters the kitchen.

The room next to Feng Er is Feng Er's room. Even though the weather is still quite cold, there is a musty smell in the room. A table and two chairs are covered with dirt, and there are unwashed dishes and empty wine on the table. pot.

The quilt on the bed looked quite thick, but it was obviously rarely taken out to dry, and there were black stains everywhere on the quilt.

The smelly shoes were casually thrown in front of the bed, and two benches were placed at the end of the bed, with a large wooden box on top, which was probably Feng Er's wardrobe, and the house was nothing more than that.

Chen County magistrate and Fei Butou saw Zhan Feiyu looking at the house with normal expressions. She looked like a nine-year-old girl. The county government's arresters would show up if they entered this musty, stinky, and rotten room. A bit disgusted.

"My lord, I heard Catcher Zhao quickly say that Feng Er is a habitual thief and has a serious heart disease." Zhan Feiyu estimated that the body had already been sent back to the Yamen. After all, he had been dead for three days. Even in the current weather, it might be a little rotten. .

Seeing the county magistrate Chen nodded, Fei Butou explained to Zhan Feiyu in detail, "Feng Er was abandoned on the streets of Shangsi County when he was about four years old, and was adopted by a beggar later. When the beggar died of illness in the first year, Feng Er engaged in cheating and abduction to support himself, and later he learned to steal and made a living by it, because he had a heart disease, even if he was caught by the owner, he would not dare to do it."

Heart disease is like a life-saving talisman. Feng Er relies on this to gain a foothold in Shangsi County. Even the local ruffians don't provoke him very much. It's okay to fight, but it will be troublesome if someone dies.

"My mother is more vigilant, and it's not surprising to find that the money bag was stolen by Feng Er, but my father managed to catch Feng Er?" Zhan Feiyu asked with doubts in his heart.

Although Boss Zhan has a lot of strength, his reaction is not so fast. Feng Er is a habit of stealing and must be familiar with the road conditions. It is too easy to avoid Boss Zhan's pursuit.

County magistrate Chen nodded in agreement. Since Feng Er can make a living by stealing, he must be best at escaping.

The county magistrate Chen had also met Boss Zhan, he was an honest farmer, and by the time he realized it, Feng Er had already run away, and he could get rid of Boss Zhan just by taking a few detours.

"Feng Er ran to a dead end and was blocked by your father." Fei catcher replied.

There was nothing suspicious in Feng Er's house, so Catcher Fei changed into casual clothes, and then took County Magistrate Chen and Zhan Feiyu to the scene of the incident.

"I asked Zhan Wencheng about the humble job. Boss Zhan and Mrs. Li are planning to go to the cloth store on West Street to buy cloth after reading the list." At that time, Catcher Fei was standing at an intersection, and he turned right ahead and crossed an alley. Can go to West Street.

"Trouble hunting Fei to lead the way, I want to see that dead end." Zhan Feiyu looked around, there were passers-by from time to time, and there were several shops not far away, so it was not difficult to find witnesses.

After a while, Catcher Fei took Zhan Feiyu and Magistrate Chen to the alley.

Zhan Feiyu calculated the time, and it took less than half a cup of tea to run from the intersection to the alley here. If Feng Er wanted to run fast, it would take three to four minutes at most.

"Little fish, what do you see?" County magistrate Chen looked at Zhan Feiyu inquiringly, with the intention of taking a school exam.

Compared with his aptitude for reading, County Magistrate Chen valued Zhan Feiyu's thinking and judgment when encountering people and situations.

"When I just came here, I saw that the alley on the left turned into a residential area." Zhan Feiyu turned and looked forward to the left. There are many shops on the West Street, but compared with the high prices of the items on the East Street, the ones on the West Street Things are definitely cheap.

And there are many people living in West Street, because the family is not rich, the house is not very big, the houses are connected together, and the alleys are intricate. If it is not for the people who live here Nine will get lost.

"Feng Er wants to escape after stealing the purse, that's the best place." Zhan Feiyu expressed his first doubt.

Turning into the alley of the residential area on the left is like a fish entering the sea. No matter how slow Feng Er runs, he can get rid of Boss Zhan who is chasing behind him.

Zhan Feiyu said again: "If you continue to run forward, you will enter West Street. There are many shops, there are also many small stalls pushing carts, and there are more passers-by. It is easy to hide."

The most prosperous place in Shangsi County is the East Street, but the busiest one is the West Street. Zhan Feiyu knows this situation. It is impossible for Feng Er, a habitual thief, to not know, but he ran into this dead-end alley and was blocked by Boss Zhan. Living.

"Master Chen, if Feng Er's death was planned, then there must be something wrong with the two roads at that time, and Feng Er can only run here in a panic." Zhan Feiyu still doesn't know who is behind the scenes, Especially since Feng Er was dead, the clues were cut off.

But if someone deliberately forced Feng Er into a dead end, then no matter the alley leading to the residence, there must be something wrong with the intersection leading to West Street, and this would be the breakthrough point to find out the case.

"My lord, I'll immediately send someone to investigate secretly." Fei Butou couldn't help but marvel at Zhan Feiyu's intelligence, even he himself didn't think so deeply.

"Go ahead, don't scare the snake away." County magistrate Chen motioned Fei Tutou to leave first. After all, it has been three days since the crime happened. If you don't hurry up, the clues may be broken again.

There are three more county exams. Although Zhan Feiyu can directly take the government exam, she is not suitable to appear in front of people with the chief examiner, County Magistrate Chen.

I have seen everything I need to see, and I have asked all the questions I need to ask. After Zhan Feiyu and County Magistrate Chen said goodbye, they planned to go back to Jinlin Village. When the curtain of the carriage was lifted, a slender hand stretched out from the carriage. out.

Zhan Feiyu grinned, stuffed his fat paw into Yin Wuyan's hand, and got on the carriage with his strength, "Big brother, why are you here?"

Yin Wuyan stuffed the stove into Zhan Feiyu's hands, "Do you have any clues?"

"Feng Er's death is full of strangeness, but there are no useful clues. The county magistrate Chen has asked Fei Butou to investigate secretly." Zhan Feiyu looked at Yin Wuyan with round eyes, and his thick black eyelashes fluttered like a fan. He said, with indescribable cunning and wisdom, "Big Brother, it doesn't matter if you have any clues or not."

Looking at the smug little girl with her chin up, a smile flashed in Yin Wuyan's eyes, and she followed her direction and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Draw the bottom of the pot!" Zhan Feiyu said firmly, like a little wild cat trying to steal.

"Feng Er has a serious heart disease, and he has no relatives or reasons. Even if he dies, there will be no disturbance. As long as Mr. Chen treats Feng Er's death as a normal death, I want to see what the people behind the scenes can do?" Zhan Feiyu is planning to play a scoundrel!
Even though Feng Er's death was related to Boss Zhan, there was no relatives to complain. As long as the county government directly sentenced him to death from a heart attack, too many arrangements by the people behind the scene would be nothing.

"Since the people behind the scenes set up this trick, they naturally have other tricks." Yin Wuyan said in a deep voice.

"Too many mistakes! Feng Er is dead. If someone pretends to be his family member and submits a complaint to the yamen, Mr. Chen will catch him right away! If the people behind the scenes don't take action, they will just spread the news of Feng Er's death."

Zhan Feiyu giggled, his flying brows were full of confidence, "Feng Er is a habitual thief, people in Shangsi County hate him, not to mention that the people behind the scenes have no definite evidence to accuse him, even if there is, how many people will believe it?" What's more, if I become the top case in the county, I will be the top in the government and hospital examinations. Even if people behind the scenes give money, few people will dare to pour dirty water on me!"

If Zhan Feiyu was just a country girl, would the situation be different?But if she gets the honor of being a scholar, who would dare to make it difficult for her for a few taels of silver.

Yin Wuyan poked the little girl's smooth forehead unceremoniously, and said coldly: "This is a bad idea, think again."

Zhan Feiyu, who was still complacent just now, instantly languished, tilted his head and looked at Yin Wuyan pitifully, "I can't figure it out, my brain is only suitable for reading."

In essence, Zhan Feiyu is indeed not a good stubble, whoever dares to reach out to harm her, she will definitely chop off the opponent's claws unceremoniously!
But let her take the initiative to play tricks to harm people, Zhan Feiyu feels that her brain is not enough, she is a passive defensive type, not good at active attack.

"Big brother, would you like to give me a little hint?" Zhan Feiyu stretched out his hand to please Yin Wuyan's sleeve.

Taking advantage of the situation to hold the mischievous fat paw, it was as soft as a ball of cotton, Yin Wuyan's heart softened, "Whether Mao Zhengfeng framed you for hiding a cheat sheet in your house, or Feng Er's death, it seems that you can never be restored, but in fact As long as Chen Weibin favors you, it can be resolved."

"Well, it is true that viciousness is viciousness, but the plan is not thorough enough, and I don't know much about the officialdom." Zhan Feiyu nodded in agreement, suddenly remembered something, and smiled: "No, the other party may think that the county magistrate Chen If you are upright and will never show favoritism, then these two plans will indeed succeed."

If it was a county magistrate who didn't know how to adapt, was old-fashioned and accepted death, since Mao Zhengfeng accused him, he would definitely search the house; Suspected of murder.

His eyes widened suddenly, and Zhan Feiyu looked at Yin Wuyan inquiringly, "Big brother, could this be done by a woman in the inner house? Is it the Qin family?"

Ordinary people had little information, and their knowledge of County Magistrate Chen came from rumors, but ordinary people were not so capable of buying Mao Zhengfeng off, nor did they arrange Feng Er's death so closely.

The rich people are usually merchants, and most merchants are shrewd and cunning. Zhan Feiyu killed his brother-in-law, Sun Fu, who was the same acquaintance, and that was the biggest merchant in Nanxuan Mansion. With this example, no merchant would dare to plot against Zhan Feiyu.

Besides, Zhan Feiyu didn't offend any big rich businessman. It is rumored that the Xiangpanzi Shop, which is now making money today, has something to do with Mr. Zhan Feiyu. The county examination, it is estimated that the threshold of her family will be stepped down.

After being ruled out, Qin was left alone. Feeling deeply wronged, Zhan Feiyu was puzzled and said, "Could it be that she wanted to avenge Wan Yunhao? But Wan Yunhao was poisoned and killed by Liu Jian!"
