I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 229
It is one thing to spend 2000 taels of silver to show off, but it is another thing to pay 4000 taels of silver for being arrogant. Especially, although Miss Jin is not short of money, she only brought 5000 taels of silver with her when she came to Huai'an Mansion this time, which is not enough Lost.

Jin Yuzhai’s clerk only earns 20 taels a year, and a clerk can only save 200 taels after working for 4000 years. No matter how rich the golden girl is, it’s really heartbreaking to spend 5000 taels, especially seeing Zhan Feiyu’s smiling face , and even more angry.

"You bitch, how dare you laugh!" With a sharp and angry voice, Jin Baozhen slapped Zhan Feiyu in the face, relying on his height.

She has a dark complexion, and what she hates the most is the little girl with white skin, especially Zhan Feiyu not only has a white face, but also has big eyes, all of which have stepped on the point that Jin Baozhen hates the most, otherwise she would not have bought it because of her fighting spirit at first. Under 2000 taels.

Zhan Feiyu stood where she was, and in the eyes of the fat shopkeeper and others, she thought she was frightened, but when Jin Baozhen's hand reached out to Zhan Feiyu.

"Ah!" With a cry, Jin Baozhen withdrew his hand abruptly, his face turned pale with fright, and he almost lost his fingers.

Shaking the dagger in his hand, Zhan Feiyu smiled innocently, "300 taels of dagger, I heard it cuts iron like mud, what a pity..."

"How dare you..." Before finishing the threatening words, seeing Zhan Feiyu pointing the dagger at him again, Jin Baozhen backed away in fright, but didn't want to step on the brocade box on the ground.

"Ah!" There was another scream, and everyone saw Jin Baozhen staggered and fell to the ground. It is estimated that her buttocks were pierced by a wooden box on the ground. Her face was pale from the pain, and she didn't respond for a long time.

Zhan Feiyu blinked at He Nuan beside him, Ah Nuan didn't learn well, and even secretly played tricks.

The fat shopkeeper looked at this scene with a speechless face, what is this all about.

The face of the middle-aged beautiful woman also turned cold, and she came over and looked down at Zhan Feiyu and reprimanded, "You are so vicious at such a young age, this is your family education rules? Whose girl are you from?"

The young Jin Guixuan pulled up Jin Baozhen who had fallen to the ground in disgust. Even though he disliked his eldest sister and was ashamed, the members of the Jin family could not tolerate bullying from outsiders.

"This auntie." As soon as the earthy address was called out, Zhan Feiyu was not surprised to be glared at by the beautiful woman, and she didn't care, and continued: "You group of adults bully the small, bully the weak, Why are you talking about ethics to me for being rich and unkind and domineering? Auntie, it’s no wonder you have to put on your face when you go out, you really have a thick skin!”

The fat shopkeeper held back his laughter, and then gave a warning glance to the two fellows next to him, gods fight, mortals suffer!They'd better stay away, don't be angered.

"What a sharp mouth!" The beautiful woman smiled angrily, and pointed to the dagger in Zhan Feiyu's hand, "Even if my niece made a mistake first, but you hurt someone with a knife, if Baozhen didn't shrink back Hurry up, you cut off all five fingers!"

These words were not alarmist, no one thought that Zhan Feiyu would use a knife.

However, any woman in the back house who relies on her status will not teach others by herself, it is too cheap, and the mother-in-law and maid who serve by her side will do it for her.

Even if it's not particular, it's just like Jin Baozhen's hands-on, but Zhan Feiyu is a cute and cute little girl who takes a knife when she disagrees, which is different.

Facing the accusation of the beautiful woman, Zhan Feiyu smiled cheekily, "The one who flirts first is cheap, and he deserves it if his skills are not as good as others."

"You bastard, I'm going to kill you!" Jin Baozhen yelled like crazy when he had never been wronged like this at home. If Jin Guixuan hadn't grabbed his arm, he would have rushed over to find Zhan Feiyu desperately.

"Daqing Law: Killing pays for life." Zhan Feiyu threw the words lightly, and Jin Baozhen was about to go crazy again in anger.

Picking up the box containing the dagger from the ground, Zhan Feiyu looked at the fat shopkeeper who was hiding aside, "I will come back next time when I have a good product, and you who don't disturb the shopkeeper will deal with the aftermath."

"Miss..." How dare the fat shopkeeper let Zhan Feiyu just leave, this is 4000 taels of compensation.

"Auntie, they are a gang, they must be blackmailing us on purpose!" Jin Baozhen glared at the fat shopkeeper viciously, "I just touched it like that, and all these boxes fell to the ground. Are you made of tofu?"

Although doing business requires harmony to make money, people can't tolerate such false accusations. Rumors spread that Jin Yu Zhai simply closed down.

The fat shopkeeper's face darkened, "Miss, be careful, Jin Yuzhai is the third generation in Huai'an Mansion, and he has always been innocent. Miss, if you drop something, you will have to pay even if you go to court!"

"Just go, I'm still afraid of going to court, Chu..." Jin Baozhen didn't finish speaking, but was interrupted by the beautiful woman.

Looking at Zhan Feiyu, who had nothing to do with her, and the shopkeeper with a strong attitude, the beautiful woman said coldly: "It is the fault of three people that things were thrown. It makes no sense for Baozhen to pay the money alone. Since it is 4000 taels, We will compensate you 500 taels!"

The beautiful lady had a generous attitude, it seemed that they had already suffered a big loss after paying 500 taels.

"If I don't pay, I'll go to court." Zhan Feiyu spoke first, and he didn't forget the word Chu that Jin Baozhen blurted out just now. Could it be that he knew the prefect of Chu?

Such an arrogant and domineering style of behavior is not like a family of officials, but more like a merchant. After all, he can take out thousands of taels of silver notes with a single move.

gold?Zhan Feiyu didn't know much about the families of the Daqing Dynasty, let alone the wealthy families in the local area, but she still had a little impression of Jin's surname. The new salt production involved salt merchants before. If Zhan Feiyu remembers correctly, the four major salt The surname of Jin is among the merchants, but I don't know if the three people in front of me are from the Jin family.

The fat shopkeeper is also stubborn. Jinyuzhai is a century-old store. Since it is the largest gold scholar antique shop in Huai'an Prefecture, it must have something to do with the Yamen, not to mention the fat shopkeeper has a reason for it.

"In this case, we can only go to the yamen." The fat shopkeeper said coldly, and asked two men to come over, "Pack up your things, let's go to the yamen!"

Enduring the pain in his buttocks, Jin Baozhen smiled viciously at Zhan Feiyu, and said arrogantly, "You wait to eat in prison!"

On the first day when I came to Huai'an Mansion, I took a one-day tour of the mansion because of the Xinglong Inn. Zhan Feiyu was really not afraid, "Miss Jin is still worried about herself. You are old, if you go to the prison for a few days , I can only be an old girl in the Jin family in the future."

Even though the Daqing Dynasty allowed women to study, they could go out, but Cheng Zhu Neo Confucianism was still orthodox. Zhang Guantong, the only daughter of Zhang Zhifu, wanted to study in the academy, but was hindered by Mrs. Zhang who wanted to show her face.

If Jin Baozhen really went to court, no matter what the reason was, it would be harmful to her reputation if it spread out, and a well-behaved family would never accept her as a candidate for a daughter-in-law.

"You should worry about yourself!" Jin Baozhen, who was sure of winning, smiled triumphantly, looking forward to Zhan Feiyu's miserable end.

Originally, general lawsuits would be handled by Sun Tuiguan, and the fat shopkeeper and Sun Tuiguan also had some friendship, glanced at Jin Baozhen and the three who got into the carriage, and whispered to Zhan Feiyu, "Miss, don't worry, When you arrive at the government office, you only need to tell the truth."

"Thank you for the shopkeeper's suggestion, I'll take it down." Zhan Feiyu nodded, and changed the topic: "How about I pick two more pieces later, and the shopkeeper will give you a real price?"

Speaking of Zhan Feiyu, it was a disaster for no reason, no ordinary person would go to the Yamen, especially a girl, and Zhan Feiyu's passing could be regarded as giving face to the fat shopkeeper.

Although the conflict started because of Zhan Feiyu, but the stack of boxes was in the hands of the shopkeeper, and it was Jin Baozhen who pushed them away, so Zhan Feiyu really could justify not going to the Yamen.

The fat shopkeeper didn't expect that Zhan Feiyu was still thinking about bargaining at this time, the flesh on his face trembled, he gritted his teeth and agreed, "Okay, when you get back, what do you fancy, I won't make any money and sell it to you. "

……

A moment later, the Huai'an government office was in prison.

Zhan Feiyu looked at the dimly lit prison, and couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it a witness? Why should I go to prison?"

"Shut up!" the jailer yelled angrily, and knocked on the cell door warningly with the big knife in his hand, "All go in, don't blame the official if you talk too much!"

"Yo, why are you arresting the two girls?" Wang Er chuckled, sizing up Zhan Feiyu and He Nuan with squinting eyes, and finally settled on He Nuan.

The law and order in Huai'an Mansion is good. Generally, if a woman commits a crime, she will be punished with a cane or given money instead. If it is a female prisoner with a serious case, there is a separate cell next to the prison, and there are special women in charge of guarding the prison. .

The sixth wife who guarded the female prisoner was withdrawn but upright. If Zhan Feiyu was sent to the sixth wife for no reason like Zhan Feiyu, she would definitely ask the head catcher to make sure, so she could only be detained here temporarily.

"Open the cell door." The jailer shook his hand at Wang Er.

The jailers immediately understood that it was Wu Tongzhi who got it here, so, I don't know how these two offended Mr. Wu.

Zhan Feiyu and He Nuan walked in, the cell door slammed shut and then locked again, and several guards strode away.

Zhan Feiyu glanced at the straw on the ground, which was probably new after the autumn harvest this year. It looked clean, and Zhan Feiyu sat down on his buttocks, "If I haven't seen the prefect of Chu, I doubt that he and the teacher If there is a grudge, isn't this a public revenge?"

"There is someone in that Jin girl's yamen, and the official position is probably not small." Even though He Nuan knew that there were corrupt officials, she had never seen such malicious revenge.

The three Jin girls got into the carriage first, Zhan Feiyu and the fat shopkeeper walked over, and Jin Yuzhai was only three streets away from the Huai'an government office, and it took less than a quarter of an hour to walk there.

But who knew that as soon as he arrived at the gate of the yamen, the fat shopkeeper learned from a catcher that Sun Tuiguan had gone on leave. Lead Zhan Feiyu into the prison.

Seeing this fierce and unreasonable posture, if Zhan Feiyu dared to resist, the four government servants would kill Zhan Feiyu on the spot.

"If you come, you will be safe." Zhan Feiyu smiled indifferently. With the temptation of 50 taels of silver, the court will definitely send someone over soon.

Just as the saying goes that a strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake, the Imperial Merchant Liu's family should not be underestimated, 50 taels of silver is not a small amount, and the prefect of Chu must have a good relationship with the Liu family. What he is good at is kicking the ball.

Zhan Feiyu looked at the dark prison cell and couldn't help laughing. As the saying goes, it is easier to ask the Buddha than to send it to the Buddha. Once he is in this big prison, the prefect of Chu wants to have both sides, or he can't help the Liu family.

"When Ah Sheng comes, let Ah Sheng bribe the jailer to bring in my book." Zhan Feiyu told He Nuan.

"Miss, do you plan to live here for a long time?" He Nuan looked at Zhan Feiyu in surprise. When she was sent by Qiye, although the young lady's basic necessities of life were not very particular, they were similar to ordinary rich children, but this is a big prison?

It's not that He Nuan can't bear hardships, but she really doesn't want Zhan Feiyu to suffer. The cell doesn't even have a place to sleep, and there's no quilt. She can only sleep on the straw, let alone eat. It's not rough to scratch her throat. It's just bad.

He Nuan wanted to leave Huai'an Mansion as soon as possible because he could only eat vegetarian food at the inn, but now there is no clean vegetarian food.

"Estimated to stay for half a month." Zhan Feiyu estimated the time, and couldn't help laughing at He Nuan who was frowning, "Don't worry, it's at least clean to live here, and save the Liu family from coming."

Before Liu Hejin visited late at night, although they returned without success, it involved 50 taels of silver. The Liu family will definitely take action. Living in Xinglong Inn will definitely not be peaceful. You don't have to worry about not eating or drinking if you pay money.

After Zhan Feiyu and He Nuan were taken away by the yamen servants, the fat shopkeeper really panicked, but he couldn't find Sun Tuiguan's person, so the fat shopkeeper stuffed ten taels of silver ingots into Wang's second hand, "Although the lady is from out of town Yes, it’s not short of money, I spent 4000 taels in an old shop before.”

Wang Er was taken aback for a moment, 4000 taels?Suddenly, he felt that the ten taels of silver he just received in his arms was not good. The little girl looked no different from his niece, she was a little whiter and more beautiful, and the price was 4000 taels.

"Please trouble me to take care of it." The fat shopkeeper also went all out, and stuffed another 100 taels of silver notes to Wang Er.

"Okay, don't worry, the higher-ups only let the little girl be locked up, and they won't use torture." Wang Er took the bank note, but he didn't hold the bank note alone, and he had to get some for Zhan Feiyu Quilts and food, and the remaining jailers will be divided into one point.

After the fat shopkeeper left, Wang Er immediately found the jailer, and handed over 100 taels of silver, "Ma Tou, a lot of people have come to Huai'an Mansion in the past few days, the little girl inside must have a lot of background, right?"

Because of Liu Hefeng's funeral, the restaurants and inns were full of foreigners who came to Huai'an Mansion, and the later people could only spend money to live in common people's homes. Just like Qiu Dingsi and Zhang Changsong before, their parents were not convenient to come forward because of their status, so they asked their children to come to Huai'an Mansion to express their condolences.

The boss of Ma Lao nodded in understanding, they are small pawns, they can only obey the orders from above, if something goes wrong, it is they small people who will be pushed out to take the blame.
