I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 240

"Which young lady is this? She's hotter than my mother-in-law." The passers-by crowded in the alley said in shock. My own mother-in-law's voice was a little louder, but she didn't dare to do it. This dark girl dared to use a whip to beat the clerk of the yamen. Lord.

A passer-by next to him echoed in a low voice, "Dare to be so arrogant without a background? I guess the background is not small!"

"How dare you say that you didn't cover the fugitive!" Seeing Zhan Feiyu behind the side door with sharp eyes, Jin Baozhen exploded all of a sudden, pointed the whip in his hand at Zhan Feiyu, and screamed, "This dead girl should be locked in a cell Why don't you arrest her?"

Detective Zhang Kuai and the passers-by all looked at Zhan Feiyu, who was only eight or nine years old, as if frightened by everyone's eyes, the little girl's eyes widened suddenly. With a white tofu-like face, she looks like a little fairy boy under the seat of a Bodhisattva.

"I said girl, stop messing around, how could this little girl be a fugitive?" An old lady couldn't stand it, if this was a burly man, there was still some possibility, this little girl like a flower bone, a fugitive?Did you not give money for buying candied haws?

Zhang Kuai's face was burning with pain, but he was more worried that the crazy Jin Baozhen would hurt someone again, so he hurriedly stood in front of Zhan Feiyu and yelled at Jin Baozhen, "It's the yamen's business whether a fugitive is a fugitive or not, miss you Leave if nothing happens!"

As for the whip, Inspector Zhang had no choice but to admit that he was an official in the eyes of the people watching the fun, but in front of these aristocratic families, killing him, this little Inspector, was as easy as crushing an ant.

"You are not wronged to provoke such a lunatic." Chongguang patted Zhan Feiyu's shoulder sympathetically, and squinted at Jin Baozhen who was baring his teeth and claws, "You bunny with a fair and tender face can squeeze out water, but his dark face of……"

Chongguang's voice paused, and everyone who heard this looked over subconsciously. The little girl blocked by Zhang Kuai was indeed white, and the one in front of her was black. It was so obvious without comparison.

Chongguang's clear and clear voice sounded again slowly, "Look at your big eyes and straight nose, and look at her dark face, small eyes, flat nose, and flat lips, no different from a dominatrix."

No matter how domineering Jin Baozhen is, she is only a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, the most beautiful age.

Chongguang was dressed in a royal blue gown, with handsome features and a tall and straight figure, and he still showed the cynical and lazy uninhibitedness of the children of the aristocratic family, but such a handsome and handsome son said cruel words that pierced his heart.

Jin Baozhen became angry, her eyes were bloodshot and red, she didn't blame Chongguang, after all, who would be willing to blame this handsome son, Jin Baozhen stared at Zhan Feiyu with murderous eyes, one was that this dead girl was talking nonsense .

"I'll beat you to death, you bastard!" screaming, Jin Baozhen rushed towards Zhan Feiyu like crazy, swinging the whip in his hand even more vigorously.

After half an hour.

Zhan Feiyu looked at Jin Baozhen who couldn't be restrained by the two arresters, and glared at Chong Guang angrily. It was no big deal for him to watch the excitement.

"You dare to arrest me? I am the daughter of the salt merchant Jin's family. You dare to arrest me and let me go. I will kill this bitch..." Pushed to the ground, Jin Baozhen yelled hysterically, "My uncle It's Qianhu in the Weisuo, I'm going to marry the prefect of Chu soon, you just wait for me..."

Zhan Feiyu's eyes widened suddenly, looking at Jin Baozhen who was lying on the ground like a tortoise and struggling crazily. How could a gentleman like Chu Zhifu want to take a concubine?
Detective Zhang and the passers-by in the alley were also shocked by the lightning strike. The prefect of Chu's official reputation in Huai'an Mansion is excellent.

How stupid is the prefect of Chu to accept such a dark and ugly girl? Is it for money?The salt merchant, I heard that the floor of the house is paved with gold.

Sensing that the force on his body was a little weaker, Jin Baozhen raised his head, with a ferocious face, and scolded sharply, "You still don't let me go, or I will put you in prison like this dead girl!"

"Brother Zhang?" The little policeman who held Jin Baozhen down had a bitter face. If this is the adult's concubine's room, if he blows the pillow wind in the future, he will be finished.

Zhan Feiyu withdrew his gaze, and said in a low voice: "Is it true that being a magistrate is particularly easy to provoke rotten peach blossoms?"

It was the same in Nanxuan Mansion and Zhang Zhi Mansion before, not to mention a cousin, and Huang Li's rotten peach blossoms.

Chongguang rubbed his chin with one hand, and thought about it seriously, "As the saying goes, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the magistrate's wife said it is so majestic. In the capital, you are a fourth-rank imperial order, but there are third-rank and second-rank orders on it, let alone hairpins. For the Ying family, if you bump into someone casually on the street, they may be relatives of the emperor, so you won't be able to gain prestige."

Just in response to that sentence, I didn't know the official school until I arrived in the capital!

But when it comes to the place, the women of the village Zheng's family can be domineering and show off their power in the village, not to mention the magistrate's wife, no one is in charge of it, and it is inevitable that these women will follow suit. To say something disrespectful, the magistrate is comparable to the emperor.

……

The gate of the city was already under martial law, and the prefect of Chu could only allow people to enter and exit through the farther south gate. As for the east gate, looking at the corpses hanging from the city wall, the prefect of Chu rubbed his brows, wondering what it was all about.

"My lord, why don't you ask the guard to send troops over here?" Even Wu Tongzhi, who was so old and cunning, would even look at the sun-baked corpse and feel terrified.

The law and order in Huai'an Mansion has always been good, plus this is the territory of the imperial merchant Liu's family, and there are many merchants coming and going. I have never heard of bandits who robbed them in these years, which also led to the arrests of Huai'an Mansion. The value is average, this is not a master, even if you fight with your life, you are not the opponent of those people.

In the shabby teahouse, the prefect of Chu was sitting on a bench. He glanced at Wu Tongzhi in an unclear manner, and said softly, "Since they dare to do this, they must have nothing to fear. If there is a conflict when the guards come, just I'm afraid there will be casualties."

"What your lord said is true, and the lower officials think so too." Master Hong echoed, what did Wu Tongzhi want to do?Don't you think there aren't enough people dead?At that time, Master Chu will be the first to be questioned.

Wu Tongzhi also knew that he had acted too hastily. The prison was besieged last night with so many casualties. He thought that if Mr. Chu made another mistake, his official position might be lost, and as a Tongzhi, he could take his place.

"It's because the lower officials didn't think well." Wu Tongzhi immediately admitted his mistake, and said solemnly: "The lower officials only think that the impact of these corpses hanging on the city wall is too bad."

As the magistrate of Huai'an, but let 48 corpses hang on the city wall, the crime of ineffective governance is appropriate.

The prefect of Chu raised his hand to interrupt Wu Tongzhi, got up and walked out of the teahouse.

Has something happened in the city again?The yamen servant who came galloping on horseback, Mr. Hong and the others felt a little thumped in their hearts, and hurriedly followed Chu Zhifu.

"My lord!" Turning off his horse, the yamen servant didn't care about anything after saluting, "Reporting to my lord, there is a girl who claims to be your lord's concubine..."

Under the sun, the prefect Chu's handsome features twisted slightly, and his clear and melodious voice exuded a murderous air, "I don't know when I took a concubine, girl from the Jin family? Master Wu, I remember respect Madam seems to have a close relationship with Jin's aunt and nephew?"

In Huai'an Mansion, there is really no information that can be hidden from the prefect of Chu. The aunt and nephew of the Jin family visited several times, and it is said that they had a very happy conversation with Mrs. Wu. It is said to be a romantic affair, but it is difficult to escape the crime of framing an official appointed by the court.

Wu Tongzhi, who was named, felt his heart skip a beat, and hurriedly pleaded guilty, "My lord, I heard from my nephew that Mrs. Wei came to visit before, but it was just an ordinary guest. I have no contact with the Jin family."

"En." Chu Zhifu nodded, his attitude was unclear and unpredictable.

When the prefect of Chu rushed to the back alley of Xinglong Inn with Wu Tongzhi and others from the gate of the city, Jin Baozhen's shrill scolding could be heard from a distance.

Mrs. Wei and Jin Guixuan also stood aside, both of them had ugly faces, not to mention the feeling that Jin Baozhen was arrested just now and quickly pressed to the ground like a tortoise, her hair would be disheveled like a crazy woman.

Just say that she said that she is the concubine of the prefect of Chu, which ruined her reputation. If Jin Baozhen can't marry the prefect of Chu, it will be difficult for her to marry a widower with better conditions in the future.

Chongguang moved a bench over, now he and Zhan Feiyu sat together, looked at the Sapo Jin Baozhen from time to time, and then muttered a few words, if we set up a coffee table and put some tea and cakes, it is obviously watching a big show .

"Chu Zhifu is here." Someone shouted, and the noisy alley instantly quieted down, and the people who blocked the alley retreated to both sides, so that Chu Zhifu and others who came on horseback could pass.

Detective Zhao hurried forward, and he didn't care about saluting, and quickly said about Jin Baozhen, "Miss Jin kept saying that the little girl was a fugitive. Room, the word spread all of a sudden."

The Xinglong Inn is located in the downtown area of ​​Huai’an Prefecture. Last night there were sounds of beatings and killings at the Xinglong Inn. The policemen were still guarding the inn early in the morning. The neighbors were originally curious, and with Jin Baozhen’s words, more and more passers-by were watching the excitement. Too many, and finally the alleys were blocked tightly.

"Shut up!" Although Jin Guixuan was younger, he was a scholar after all. At this moment, he took a warning look at Jin Baozhen who was clamoring, and hurried over to salute, "Student Jin Guixuan pays his respects to Lord Chu, Lord Wu, and all the adults."

"You don't need to be too polite." The prefect of Chu said in a warm voice, and glanced at Wu Tongzhi with a half-smile. How can he say he is not familiar after seeing him alone?
"Master Chu." Sweeping away the domineering appearance just now, Jin Baozhen broke away from Mrs. Wei's hand and rushed over, as if he had found the backbone, pointed at Zhan Feiyu and complained viciously, "Master Chu, that girl is Fugitive! She and the treasurer of Jinyuzhai used to blackmail me with thousands of taels of silver, she must have escaped from the prison by taking advantage of the chaos last night, and my lord must arrest her and bring her to justice!"

Wu Tongzhi glanced at Zhan Feiyu. This is the little girl who was imprisoned?

The accused Zhan Feiyu also stepped forward and repeated Jin Guixuan's actions just now, "Students pay their respects to Lord Chu, Lord Wu and all the adults."

"What are you, worthy of calling yourself a student?" Jin Baozhen's voice was sharp, and he pointed at Zhan Feiyu with contempt and disdain on his face, "You are a liar and a fugitive!"

Compared with Jin Baozhen who was yelling and screaming, Zhan Feiyu's smile remained unchanged, and he was still polite, "I escaped from the prison."

"Lord Chu, she admitted it all, she is a fugitive! The crime will be added!" Jin Baozhen laughed out loud as if he had caught Zhan Feiyu, and angrily reprimanded Zhang Kuai, "You didn't Seeing that she has pleaded guilty, she is still under arrest!"

"My lord, the prison was suddenly attacked by gangsters last night, and the students were seriously injured after escaping, and they are already planning to surrender themselves." Zhan Feiyu confessed again.

The wound on her right hand was clearly visible. When she saluted, her sleeve was slightly pulled up, revealing her left wrist wrapped in gauze. There was still blood stains on the gauze, and it seemed that her left arm was also seriously injured.

"Miss Jin sued this little girl and the shopkeeper of Jin Yuzhai for blackmail?" Chu Zhifu repeated, then looked at Wu Tongzhi and the others beside him, "I don't know about this case, Master Wu handled it?"

If Jin Baozhen was the plaintiff and the sufferer, then Zhan Feiyu, the defendant, might indeed be sentenced to prison, but since he entered the yamen, there are generally complaints, officials in charge of the trial, and scribes to record the case, and then he can be sent to the yamen. People are in prison.

"My lord, this case was not taken over by a lower official." Wu Tongzhi directly disregarded the responsibility, and looked at Master Hong and the others, "Perhaps it was handled by other colleagues."

Usually these small cases are handled by Officer Sun Tui, but he is still recuperating in Liujia Town because of a broken leg, so the adults present were all taken aback, they didn't take over this case.

Thinking about it this way, Lord Hong and the others understood that Wu Tongzhi had contacts with the Jin family, and seeing Miss Jin's domineering appearance, the jailer probably got a hint from Wu Tongzhi and arrested the little girl without a trial. I went to prison, this guy escaped last night taking advantage of the chaos.

The prefect of Chu simply took the blame, "It seems to be an unjust, false and wrongly decided case caused by my negligence."

Mr. Hong and the officials all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. The jailers were dead or wounded. Judging by Wu Tongzhi's calm appearance, it is estimated that there is no proof of death.

"Lord Chu." Zhan Feiyu's crisp voice broke the calm, and she suddenly pulled out a piece of paper from her sleeve, "The student sued Jin Baozhen, the daughter of the Jin family in Zhongzhou Prefecture, Wu Tongzhi in Huai'an Prefecture, and the seventh house of the Liu family... "

Zhan Feiyu's words directly stunned everyone. The key point is that she also submitted a complaint. Jin Baozhen was accused of false accusation and bribery of government officials.

Wu Tongzhi was charged with accepting bribes and knowingly breaking the law. As for Liu's Qifang, it was also bribery, and he also robbed women and forced them into slavery.

Although He Nuan is Zhan Feiyu's personal servant girl, her household registration is not slave registration.

"You still dare to sue me?" Jin Baozhen screamed, staring at Zhan Feiyu angrily, if Zhang Feiyu hadn't been stopped quickly, he probably would have rushed to fight Zhan Feiyu.

Wu Tongzhi's face darkened, and he said in a cold voice: "How dare you to falsely accuse me with nothing to prove! Little girl, do you know that the first thing you need to sue an official is twenty big sticks!"
