I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 273 Guessing the Identity
Yang Xu looked at He Nuan who turned around to go back to get the money, and then looked at a group of relatives who stopped crying and stood up from the corpse, and said in a daze, "That's it?"

"Otherwise?" Zhan Feiyu asked back.

Those who died were all scoundrels. Their families knew exactly who they were. For the people of Xiangwu County, the deaths of a few scourges were caused by foreigners, but for the families of these scoundrels, this 100 taels of silver is enough to shut their mouths.

Furthermore, with Zhan Feiyu's domineering and noble appearance, would they dare to make trouble?It got big, offended the nobles, no money was given, and they had no place to cry.

Ignoring Yang Xu who was in a mess in the wind, Zhan Feiyu looked at the dozen or so relatives who were waiting anxiously, with an arrogant attitude, "If someone comes to the Yamen later, remember what to say and what not to say. After the matter is over, I will give you another 50 taels of silver."

Seeing everyone stunned for a moment, there were greedy eyes in the eyes of the two women, Zhan Feiyu snorted coldly, "Don't have thoughts that shouldn't be there, otherwise it will be a chicken-and-egg fight. Remember, as long as there is a disturbance in one family, everyone will be killed." Take back all the money, look at the corpses on the ground and think about whether you have the ability to blackmail me!"

Would it be an ordinary person who could come up with thousands of taels of silver?
Looking at the dead body on the straw mat, they suddenly understood that even if they took the money home, if the nobles were upset, they might not be able to keep the money.

Besides, what Zhan Feiyu said is that he just sits down, there is a family causing trouble, and no one else has any money. Now it is 150 taels, and the family can build two more rooms. The children who have reached their age will also have money to marry. The smartest youngest son I can also go to private school to study...

Money is touching, a group of relatives of the deceased nodded their heads in a hurry, and looked at the two wives in warning. They both lived in the county town, and these rascals had a lot of contacts on weekdays, so everyone knew what was going on in each family.

"We don't make trouble." The two women said embarrassingly.

One of the old men looked at his youngest son on the straw mat, and after a long while sighed softly, "You can't come back to life after death, so just accept it when you're good. The nobleman's money is not so easy to take."

Let's just say that his youngest son usually only does some stealthy things. He mostly bullies and bullies people from the village.

"The messenger is here!"

"Get out of the way, make way..."

Following the shouts of passers-by, the onlookers gave way to both sides of the alley, but they saw Luo Butou trotting over with twenty or thirty policemen, and the crowded alley became even more congested.

"Old Mr. Qiu." Luo Butou took a quick look, and surprise flashed across his eyes.

He originally thought there would be a commotion, not to mention fighting, at least there would be crying and cursing, but Luo Butou didn't expect the gate of the Qiu Mansion to be so peaceful.

Catcher Luo respectfully greeted Qiu Zongxi with his fists cupped, "Master Zhu already knows that there is a murder case, so send the younger one over first, and the adults will arrive later."

Qiu Zongxi didn't even give Zhu county magistrate any face, let alone a sinister villain like Luo Butou, he didn't even look at him.

This old man!Being humiliated in public, Catcher Luo could only smile dryly and step aside, looked at the dozen or so people standing in front of the corpse, and asked in a cold voice, "Since there is a murder case, why don't you go to the Yamen to report it? Who You are allowed to come to the Qiu Manor to cause trouble, Master Zhu is in charge of everything, and you unscrupulous people are not allowed to mess around in private!"

Ordinary people were already afraid of poor men in official uniforms, not to mention Luo Butou's majestic face and domineering attitude, which made a group of people tremble.

"That's not necessary for Luo Butou. They brought the corpse to the door because they heard that Mr. Qiu was kind and generous, and they wanted to ask for some funeral expenses. After all, the family suffered a tragedy, so they couldn't even buy the thin coffin." Zhan Feiyu said clearly. The voice sounded, and immediately relieved the scolded people.

"However, the law and order in Xiangwu County is indeed questionable. Eight people died in one fell swoop. If County Magistrate Zhu doesn't strictly investigate and apprehend the murderer, I don't want to wear a black hat on his head."

As soon as Zhan Feiyu said this, not to mention the people watching around, but Luo Butou, the catcher, and the government servants were taken aback. This little girl is too bold to speak such wild words!

But when he thought about the fact that five hundred households ran away with their people in desperation in Shitou Village, how could Luo Butou and the others dare to provoke Zhan Feiyu? This little girl is an evil star, and she doesn't know why.

All of a sudden, the gate of the Qiu Mansion fell into an eerie silence. He Nuan came back with a silver ticket and eight deeds, and the boy who came with him put down the table. In addition to pens and inks, there were also ink pads, and he couldn't write. I can only print my fingerprints.

"I will bring the money after the signature painting is adjourned, and I will be buried in the ground as soon as possible." After Zhan Feiyu opened his mouth, he looked contemptuously at Luo Butou, who dared to be angry and dared not speak out, and sneered silently. Would he dare to stop him?
Although they didn't want to offend Butou Luo, when they saw the banknote in He Nuan's hand, a group of people swallowed subconsciously, and in the end Hu Daya was the first to walk over.

It is probably because of her peers, looking at the noble and beautiful Zhan Feiyu, and then at her patched jacket, Hu Daya felt inexplicably inferior, and said timidly: "I can't write, I can't write. Fingerprints."

"Yes, you can deposit the banknotes in the bank, and no one can take them away." Zhan Feiyu nodded, 100 taels of silver is enough for a family to live for ten years, and Hu Daya may not be able to keep it, so it is better to put it in the bank. Insurance.

"Old Mr. Qiu, Master Zhu will be here soon. How can you be so hasty when it comes to human life?" Luo Tuotou said bravely. He would rather be ignored by Qiu Zongxi than bow to a yellow-haired girl like Zhan Feiyu.

With a raised eyebrow, Zhan Feiyu sneered and said, "It's the yamen's responsibility to catch the murderer. Could it be that if the murderer is not caught for a day, these corpses cannot be buried?"

"Or is it that Butou Luo thinks that these people were killed by us? I can understand the nonsense of the deceased's family because of their grief. You better think clearly, Butou Luo. If you dare to slander us without evidence, the jail in Xiangwu County will still be closed." Very empty!"

"You?" Luo Tutou looked angrily at the domineering Zhan Feiyu. He had been in Xiangwu County for many years, and he was somewhat of a character. A little girl dared to threaten him like that.

With dark eyes sinking, Zhan Feiyu brought his domineering arrogance to the extreme, "Ah Sheng, palm your mouth, anything is worthy of yelling at me!"

Before Luo Butou had time to react, he felt a figure flash in front of him, and then his cheeks hurt violently, and his whole body was slapped to the ground.

Huh!Seeing Luo Butou being slapped, everyone was stunned.

Although Zhan Feiyu was unattainable from the very beginning, even though his attitude was a bit arrogant, he was not aggressive.

Who would have thought that she would suddenly instruct He Shengsheng to hit Luo Butou of the yamen? Could this be the official daughter?Otherwise, how dare you be so domineering.

Yang Xu was also dumbfounded. He had always known that Zhan Feiyu was very delicate, and he was very particular about basic necessities of life, but it was the first time Yang Xu saw Zhan Feiyu's bullying side, and he would fight as soon as he said it.

Looking down at Luo Tuotou who fell to the ground, Zhan Feiyu raised his chin proudly, his eyes were extremely contemptuous, "It's just a low-level official, talking to you is for your face, you go to the capital to inquire, the last one For those who dare to disrespect me, the grass on the grave is already as tall as a person!"

The monstrous anger was extinguished after a while. Luo Tutou stared blankly at Zhan Feiyu, who was flaunting his might. His gaze inadvertently swept across her palm, and there was a thin layer of calluses on her fingertips. .

Then look at Zhan Feiyu, a little girl, probably only seven or eight years old, with calluses on her hands, which means that she was enlightened at least three or four years old, and has been holding a pen for four or five years.

Thinking of Zhan Feiyu mentioning the capital again, Luo Tuotou's face turned pale. This must be the daughter of a wealthy official family or a scholarly family in the capital.

"I don't dare to offend the nobleman, please forgive me." With a judgment in his heart, Luo Tuotou immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, his attitude was so humble that he wished Zhan Feiyu could treat himself like a bug and just forgive him like that Live his life.

Zhan Feiyu looked coldly at Luo Butou, who was pleading guilty, and didn't care about it, "Okay, get up, and deal with this matter first."

Luo Butou's expression was embarrassing, but he knew in his heart that the nobleman probably knew about this clumsy calculation long ago, but he just didn't bother to expose it. After all, the higher the official position, the more he cherishes feathers, and things that can be solved with a little money will naturally not cause extra problems.

When Zhu county magistrate's official sedan chair stopped, the family members of the eight rascals had already signed and pledged, and the 100 taels of silver bills were also properly put away.

"Luo Shunxiang, how do you do things?" As soon as he got out of the sedan chair, after listening to Butou Luo's words, County Magistrate Zhu blushed angrily. If he didn't rely on his status, he might have slapped him.

The scolded Luo Butou raised his head and saw the five fingerprints on his face. The furious Magistrate Zhu couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then became angry again.

"Who did this?" It depends on the owner to beat the dog. After all, Catcher Luo is also the Catcher of the Yamen. When he was beaten, it was County Magistrate Zhu who lost face.

"My lord, please calm down." Luo Butou didn't dare to complain, he glanced at the gate of the Qiu Mansion from the corner of his eye, and said in a low voice: "My lord, that young lady is from the capital, her parents must be high-ranking officials, she has calluses on her fingertips..."

Let’s not talk about it, let’s just talk about Mrs. Zhang in Zhenbian Hou’s Mansion, even the concubine’s daughter of the prefect’s mansion, she has been studying and practicing calligraphy since she was a child.

Zhan Feiyu is so young, his hands are calloused by the brush. This is definitely not an ordinary official's family, it must have a deep foundation, and the teaching of the back house girl is as strict as that of the son of the family.

County magistrate Zhu was stunned when he heard that, this is a fight between gods and gods, and mortals suffer!

Since the Zhenbianhou's Mansion wanted to target the Yang family, but they didn't come out and let Mrs. Zhang take care of the affairs, they met a nobleman from the capital again. What's the matter?

"Those people have all signed and pledged?" County magistrate Zhu took a look from a distance. It is no wonder that he is a nobleman from the capital. He is so sophisticated at a young age, and he has taken control of the situation so quickly.

It was just a stunt to accuse Yang Xu of killing people. It was the Zhenbian Hou's Mansion who wanted to put him in prison. Magistrate Zhu could only take one step at a time and try to get him out.

But now that there are more Zhan Feiyu, the wise magistrate Zhu only hopes that neither side will be offended, and they can fight as much as they want!
No matter what, people can't be shy when they come. Magistrate Zhu bit his head and walked over, "Old Mister Qiu, don't come here unharmed. Today's matter is due to my ineffective handling of the matter, which disturbed the old man's cleanliness."

"It's okay, it's been resolved." Qiu Zongxi replied coldly, with a distant attitude, and did not give Zhu county magistrate any face.

When the magistrate came, Qiu Zongxi also had this lukewarm attitude. County magistrate Zhu had long been used to it, and now he asked again with a smile on his face: "Dare to ask the old gentleman, but I don't know the lady's name?"

The daimyo didn't dare to ask. After all, it was a girl's family, and the family rules were strict. No matter how stupid the county magistrate Zhu was, he would not make such a mistake. He just wanted to know what the last name was, and see if he could find out a thing or two.

However, there are too many dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital, and the county magistrate Zhu's opening is only a slap in the face.

"Master Zhu, you don't have to be polite. Before you came here, the elders in the family told you not to bully others. Of course, if someone sees me as young and dares to bully you, I will bring two signs with me. You can get some justice."

Zhan Feiyu opened his mouth casually, without taking out the badge, and then said, "Wu Baihu of the former guard has already seen my badge."

It's good that Zhan Feiyu didn't mention it. As soon as he mentioned it, County Magistrate Zhu remembered this incident. A hundred households are nothing to be afraid of, but it represents the guard and military power. Zhan Feiyu can scare five hundred households like that. County Magistrate Zhu's scalp tingled again. What is the identity of this little girl?
If it was the family of a military general, it would naturally have something to do with the commander, but she also mentioned that the chief minister was from the line of civil servants, and had something to do with both civil and military matters. Magistrate Zhu's eyes widened suddenly. Could this be a relative of the emperor?Only the royals have this ability.

No wonder the little girl didn't even say her last name. After making up her mind, County Magistrate Zhu's attitude became even more respectful. As for the Marquis' Mansion by the town, you can stay wherever it's cool!

If it was the Marquis of Zhenbian or the eldest son who came here, County Magistrate Zhu would not dare to be so negligent, but a Zhang Yiyi, whose name is not justified, is just Jieyuhua next to Lord Hou, who doesn't even have a name. People in the royal family don't even know how they died.

Zhan Feiyu looked at the flattering and flattering County Magistrate Zhu and laughed, "Since Mr. Zhu is here, this matter is a matter for adults. Why don't you sign the contract and save more money in the future?" Make some trouble."

ah?County magistrate Zhu was taken aback for a moment, and when he met the smiling Zhan Feiyu, he suddenly felt the hair on his back. If he signed this name, he would really offend the town's Marquis to death!

Compared with Zhan Feiyu, County Magistrate Zhu must be flattering her, but thinking that Zhan Feiyu will leave Weizhou in the future, when the town's Marquis Mansion wants to settle the score after autumn, how can he, a seventh-rank county magistrate, have the power to resist.

After waiting for a while, Zhan Feiyu looked at the hesitant magistrate Zhu with a half-smile, and said slowly, "Your Majesty, you don't have to do this. Since you have asked your lord to sign, your worries will definitely be taken care of by your lord. Does your lord think that I traveled thousands of miles to this barren land just to endure hardships?"
