I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 232 Missing News
As soon as the news of the 50 taels of silver spread, the military generals who disliked the early dynasty on weekdays all stared at the holy majesty on the dragon chair with wide-eyed bull eyes. It looks no different from a concubine who wants to be blessed.

The Holy Majesty was really bored, and after the court ended, he simply announced that Xueshi Gu had tea in the imperial garden, "Your little disciple will definitely be able to walk sideways in the capital in the future."

All these incidents have benefited the military generals of the DPRK and China. Just for this, in the future, if there are short-sighted dudes who dare to bully Zhan Feiyu, the princes and young masters of the generals' family will definitely charge up with their fists.

"I'm just a beloved junior. They don't dare to bully Xiaoyu after eating bear's heart and leopard courage." Gu Qingzhou held a teacup and drank tea leisurely, with a leisurely look, not worried at all.

The dandies in the capital are all smart, they know who can be bullied and who can't.

The Holy Majesty thought of the eldest prince who had gone to Anding Mansion, so he rarely glanced at Gu Xueshi with jealousy, "If you were half as young as a little girl, you wouldn't be messing around in Anding Mansion."

Earlier, the eldest prince asked to go to Jiangnan Road, saying that he was visiting Mr. Chen, who was seriously ill, but the sage was worried that the eldest prince's impulsive and irritable temperament would be recklessly troubled by Zhan Feiyu as soon as he was instigated by the Chen family.

If he wins, it's an invincible victory, but relying on the prince's power; if he loses, the key is based on His Majesty's understanding of Zhan Feiyu, the eldest prince is more likely to lose.

In order to take care of his son Xiong's face, the Holy One had no choice but to send him to the Anding Mansion.The reason why the eldest prince left the capital with his people that day, even Mr. Chen ignored him, was it because he wanted to get his hands on the military power.

But when the Holy One thought about the love of Zhan Feiyu by the generals in the court and the border guards, his son Xiong had eaten rice for nothing for so many years. Understand.

"The disciple of the minister is the little Sanyuan." Gu Qingzhou smiled pretentiously, and raised his teacup to the Holy Majesty, "It should be clear."

"Under the whole world, could it be the land of the king, and the shore of the land, could it be the minister of the king. I am not at a loss." The Holy Majesty also laughed loudly, and from the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Eunuch Liu who was walking quickly, and the teacup he had just picked up came back again. put it down.

The Holy Majesty and Gu Xueshi would retreat from the servants who served while drinking tea and chatting. In the Manchu Dynasty, only Gu Xueshi had this honor. If the matter was not important, Eunuch Liu would never disturb him easily, "Your Majesty, General Deng is asking to see you."

Gu Xueshi got up and stood aside, and saw a middle-aged strong man in his fifties walking quickly, with beards all over his face and dark complexion, his appearance would scare a child to tears at night.

"The last general pays homage to the Holy Majesty." General Deng's voice was resounding, and the gesture of kneeling was also very powerful.

As soon as the Holy Majesty excused himself from the ceremony, General Deng said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Lord Gu, my Zhiwu Feige sent a message back to Beijing, and Lord Gu's young disciple is missing."

The Holy Majesty and Gu Xueshi were both startled. Zhan Feiyu should still be in Huai'an Mansion at this point in time, waiting for the court to send someone to receive the 50 taels, and disappeared?This makes people suspect that the Liu family is the killer.

Gu Xueshi was shocked for a moment just because he was concerned, but he calmed down now, and said with a smile: "The minister sent guards to protect Xiaoyu. In Huai'an Mansion, no one can kill him silently."

Regardless of whether it's the ministers of the court or the relatives of the emperor, they all raise dead soldiers and dark guards in private. To paraphrase Gu Qingzhou's words, he is a junior like Zhan Feiyu, and he will definitely protect her comprehensively.

The Liu family of the imperial merchant would not have turned against Xueshi Gu for 50 taels of silver, and would have killed Zhan Feiyu.

Greeting General Deng to sit down, the Holy Majesty also said: "Chu Shao is the prefect of Huai'an, and his rule is not so chaotic, maybe the news is wrong."

General Deng laughed when he thought about it, "It's good that nothing happened. Zhiwu, that bastard, probably sent random messages when he couldn't find anyone. When he comes back, the general will definitely give him a hard lesson."

Both Shengshang and Gu Qingzhou looked meaningfully at General Deng, who was pretending to be stupid. Deng Zhiwu went to Huai'an Mansion, and they planned to kill first and then play.

With an inexplicable feeling of hairs on the back, General Deng's smile froze on his face, and he said bitterly: "Your Majesty, there is nothing you can do about it, the previous grain and money have been sent to the border, this time it will be the turn no matter what. Southwest Road."

The north of the Daqing Dynasty was often attacked by barbarians, so whether it was food and grass or military pay, the northern border was the main pass, in order to resist the barbarians.

Before General Deng took off his armor, he was guarding the Southwest Road. The terrain in the Southwest Mountains was complex, either miasma or poisonous insects and poisonous weeds, and there was an urgent shortage of military pay. So this time, after knowing the news of 50 taels, General Deng simply sent his second son to Huai'an Mansion .

Unexpectedly, Zhan Feiyu disappeared just after the person arrived, and General Deng, who didn't receive the news, rushed to the palace in a hurry.

The Holy Majesty didn't bother to watch General Deng cry poorly, "How many people did Deng Zhiwu bring over there?"

"The guards of the general's mansion have been taken with me. The general asked him to go to Jiao Jizhong when he was in trouble. The general saved his life at the end of the year. Now there is still a scar on his shoulder." Speaking of the great achievements of the year, General Deng said All loud three points.

"The last general saved Lao Jiao at the risk of his right arm being cut off. He will definitely repay this favor." The reason why he removed his armor was also because of the hidden injury on his right shoulder.

Back then, he almost cut off his entire shoulder, and General Deng had to give way to his two sons. The eldest son is now in the army of Southwest Road. Although he is only a deputy, the army is full of old subordinates of General Deng. After many years of experience, I am not afraid that I will not be able to lead the army in battle.

As for the second son, Deng Zhiwu, the reason why he has never passed the martial arts exam is because he doesn't like studying, and this time he went to Huai'an Mansion to earn military pay for the Southwest Road.

Jiangnan Road has a commander and envoy, who is in charge of the military and horse power of the entire Jiangnan Road.

And in the Beisanfu of Jiangnan Road, a Guard Commander Division was established. Jiao Jizhong was the highest officer of the Guard Commander Division.

"Aiqing, what do you think of this matter?" The Holy One asked Gu Qingzhou aside.

As for the matter of General Deng beheading before playing, the Holy Majesty is too lazy to pursue it. As a wise king, the Holy Majesty knows the truth of using people without suspicion and doubting people without using them. General Deng's selfishness is also for the soldiers of the Southwest Road.

Gu Qingzhou is not worried about Zhan Feiyu's safety at all, "Since Mr. Deng has arrived in Huai'an Mansion, there will be no big troubles. The Holy One just wait for the news."

"As a teacher, you don't care at all, so you're not afraid of that girl writing a letter to complain?" The Holy One teased with a smile.

Ever since reading the letter written by Zhan Feiyu, the Holy Majesty has known Zhan Feiyu a little bit, no matter how talented she is, she is a little girl who can sue, and her words are full of honest admiration for Gu Qingzhou.

General Deng sat on the side, Gu Xueshi really had a big heart, no matter how smart the little girl was, she was still a child, Huai'an Mansion was the territory of the imperial merchant Liu's family, the merchants were so treacherous and they would use unscrupulous means, Gu Xueshi was not worried.

……

Huai'an Mansion, prison.

Mrs. Liu is too old to bother, and Zhan Feiyu has been arrested, so she asked her daughter-in-law to bring the old housekeeper.

Zhan Feiyu said with a smile, "Please trouble the head of the prison to change a cell for me to meet the guests."

"Miss, you're being polite, it's just a trivial matter." Prisoner Ma hurriedly opened the cell door, and said to Liao Xiaodong behind him, "Go and tidy up the empty cell at the corner."

"I'll go right away." Liao Xiaodong had no reason why he shouldn't, and ran over to clean up.

When Zhan Feiyu came over with He Nuan, although there was only straw in the cell, the floor was swept clean, the cobwebs on the walls were also cleaned up, and some insect repellent powder was sprinkled to make sure nothing would happen. Rats and cockroaches roam the prison.

At night, it rained heavily outside, one autumn rain and one cold, Mrs. Liu put the hat on the cloak on her head, so that even if someone accidentally saw it, it was windy and rainy at night, probably no one will recognize her.

"Ma'am is worried about your feet." The old housekeeper reminded in a low voice, the two entered the cell under the leadership of Liao Xiaodong, and the guards were all sent out by the head of the prison, so they didn't worry about being seen.

Under the dim light of the candle, after walking for a while, Liu Wangshi saw Zhan Feiyu and He Nuan imprisoned in the prison at a glance, but the two masters and servants did not see the slightest panic or fear, which made Liu Wangshi involuntarily Lost face.

"Mrs. Liu, if you have anything to say, tell me as soon as possible, and I'll come back in a quarter of an hour." Ma Laotou confessed, and left with Liao Xiaodong.

Zhan Feiyu looked up at Mrs. Liu who had taken off his hat, and said coldly, "Liu Heyu treats me as a guest, but you dare to instruct the jailer to lock me up here, aren't you afraid that I will be rude to you after I go out? "

"Miss Zhan, I'm a woman in the back house. I don't know much about studying imperial examinations, but I know how important a woman's name is. If you let outsiders know that you are imprisoned in the prison, the prison in front of you is still full of male prisoners. , it will be difficult for the girl to get married in the future." Liu Wangshi smiled triumphantly and viciously, what was she afraid of, it was Jin Baozhen who bribed Mrs. Wu to lock her up, and it had nothing to do with the Liu family.

"Are you threatening me?" With a raised eyebrow, Zhan Feiyu couldn't help laughing, even though he was imprisoned, there was no trace of fear on his delicate face, "The grass on the grave of the last person who threatened me was as tall as a person."

He Nuan lowered his eyes and stood quietly aside, pretending not to hear Zhan Feiyu's nonsense.

"You?" Liu Wangshi didn't expect Zhan Feiyu to be so crazy, and his face turned pale with anger.

Seeing this, the old housekeeper hurriedly said, "Ma'am is important."

Liu Wang suppressed his anger, glared at Zhan Feiyu angrily, and then said: "Ming people don't talk dark words, Miss Zhan, you and your three servants are locked in a big prison, and now there is no way to go to heaven. There is no way to enter the land, and the news cannot be sent out, does the girl want to be locked in the prison forever?"

Jin Baozhen sent money to Mrs. Wu, and with the help of Wu Tongzhi, Zhan Feiyu was imprisoned in the prison. Unless the prison boss and the others dared to offend Wu Tongzhi, no one would dare to release Zhan Feiyu.

Of course, this was also because Zhan Feiyu never revealed his identity and Jin Baozhen didn't know about it, so he misled Mrs. Wu and Wu Tongzhi. They thought they were only imprisoning a little girl who offended Jin Baozhen, a powerless little girl.

"As long as you write a new contract and sell this maid to me, I will make peace with Miss Jin for you." Liu Wang's ultimate goal is still He Nuan, but she is just a maid, and the little girl is not letting go. What's the point.

"I don't agree, so what can you do? Can you lock me up for ten or eight years?" Zhan Feiyu snorted coldly, but he was stubborn in his refusal.

"I don't know what to do!" Liu Wang cursed angrily, but Zhan Feiyu was not an unknown junior, and she could only use Jin Baozhen to imprison him, so she came to the prison to negotiate a deal with Zhan Feiyu. She didn't appreciate it.

Through the cell door, Zhan Feiyu hummed twice, his twittering appearance was really awkward.

"Madam, calm down." The old housekeeper held Liu Wangshi back, this is a big prison, although it is very quiet here, it is not good to speak too loudly.

A quarter of an hour passed in a flash, Ma Laotou came over, even if Liu Wang was not reconciled, he could only put on his hat and leave.

Avoid the crowd to the alley outside the side door, where the carriage is parked.

Mrs. Liu Wang stood under the umbrella, winked at the old housekeeper, and saw that the head of the prison had collected the money, and then said: "The little girl didn't eat oil and salt. I think she didn't suffer much. Can the head of the prison do it?" It is convenient, if a prisoner is locked in, he will be frightened by then..."

Liu Wang's method is indeed vicious. She intends to use the hands of the prison boss to lock up the male prisoner and Zhan Feiyu. At that time, Zhan Feiyu will definitely cry and want to go out. Liu Wang will take the opportunity to let Zhan Feiyu go out. Feiyu sold He Nuan to herself, and the matter was settled.

Ma Laotou only felt that the ten taels of silver ingot in his arms was a little hot, but he said in an official tone, "Ma'am, it's not that the little ones don't help. If this matter becomes serious, it will be the young ones who will go to prison."

Locking the male prisoner and a little girl in the same cell is obviously a form of personal revenge. Once the prefect of Chu finds out, the head of prison Ma will be the first to be questioned.

Liu Wang's face sank after a swipe, and she had run into a wall with Zhan Feiyu. Even a prison boss dared to reject her, and asked coldly, "Is the prison boss not giving our Liu family face?"

"Ma'am, it's raining heavily, let's go back first." The old housekeeper persuaded Mrs. Liu, who was obviously displeased. These jailers are the most slick, and the cashiers are quick to collect the money. Let them do something, and they are all pushy.

After getting into the carriage, the old housekeeper said in a low voice: "Madam, the prefect of Chu is upright and upright, how could the prison boss know how to break the law just for money."

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, can't you just watch Bao'er go crazy?" Liu Wang said sharply, with an undisguised look on her face, "It's just a little girl, even if he dies in a prison, can it be that he, Chu Shao? Can we still deal with our Liu family law?"

The old butler who was angered lowered his head, but disdain flashed in his eyes. At that point, the prefect of Chu couldn't do anything to the Liu family, but there were still several jailers in Ma Laotou, including himself, the butler, who would probably be kicked out Take the blame, will the silver be brought into the coffin by then?

But at this moment, the old butler could only wait for Liu Wang's anger to subside before persuading him: "Ma'am, Miss Jin doesn't know Miss Zhan's background, why don't you let Miss Jin take action, even if the prefect of Chu investigates, we won't be able to find us?" On top of the Liu family."

Mrs. Liu recalled Jin Baozhen and his party who were still temporarily staying in Liujia Town, "In order to establish a relationship with our Liu family, the Jin family did not hesitate to marry a ghost. Neither the Patriarch nor the eldest lady seems to want to agree."

"If Madam can say something nice to Miss Jin, I'm afraid I won't be able to deal with a little girl." The old butler smiled incomparably insidiously. This is murder with a knife. Miss Jin is a no-brainer, and she will be fooled if she provokes her.
