I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 275 Arrested and Sent to Prison
"What are you doing? Who allowed you to break in!" Lian'er screamed and cursed, and rushed to the door to block a group of vicious thugs.

Ignoring Lian'er's angry reprimand, the two leading soldiers pushed him away roughly, and locked Zhang Yiyi who got up from the main seat with fierce eyes.

Lian Er, who was pushed and staggered, and almost fell, supported the table to stand firm, and then cursed sharply, "It's against the sky, you dare to come to the Hou's mansion on the edge of our town to act wildly and disturb our wife, you Can you afford it?"

With a whimper, another seven or eight soldiers rushed in quickly, and the small flower hall seemed crowded when it was full of people.

Zhang Yiyi's complexion changed suddenly, and he couldn't help thinking that it was the same when the Yang family had an accident. A group of soldiers directly blocked the general's mansion, and all the servants were driven aside. The Yang family was captured like prisoners in shackles. The mighty general's mansion The family property was quarreled, the furniture in the house was smashed, and it fell into ruin in just a few days.

County magistrate Zhu couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw the last person walking in, "Five hundred households?"

"Lord Zhu, I have been ordered to arrest Mrs. Zhang, and please avoid Mrs. Zhu." Wu Baihu saluted with fists, with a tough attitude. Since he dared to arrest Mrs. Zhang, he naturally would not take a small county magistrate seriously.

On the boundary of Longyou Dao, dare to arrest the person next to the pillow of the Marquis of the town?County magistrate Zhu wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, it really was about to change.

After calming down, Zhang Yiyi swept away her gentle demeanor, her pretty face sank, and she asked sternly: "You, a small household in the guard house, dare to be rude to me, is it true that Dou Qianhu doesn't take care of me at the border of the town?" Does the Hou Mansion pay attention?"

Looking at Zhang Yiyi who was sitting back on the chair again, the smiling face of Zhan Feiyu appeared in Zhu County Magistrate's mind. In contrast, this Mrs. Zhang looked stern, and even though the little girl was young, she could talk and laugh. Take control of the whole situation.

The Zhenbian Hou's Mansion was intimidating, but when they thought of the Forbidden Dragon Guard, Wu Baihu immediately straightened up, and said coldly: "If you have anything to say, leave it in the courtroom, take it away!"

"I don't see who dares you!" Zhang Yiyi yelled angrily, clenched her hands into fists, "Come on, drive these ignorant people out!"

At the same time as the voice fell, the four guards of the Hou's Mansion quickly stood in front of Zhang Yiyi, and the atmosphere became tense in an instant. Although there were many people in the guard, the guards of the Hou's Mansion were all masters with one enemy against a hundred. It is undecided.

Looking at the two sides facing each other, County Magistrate Zhu wished he could be a coward again, but no matter how stupid he was, he knew that if a fight broke out, no matter how the Weisuo and the Zhenbianhou's Mansion were, this little county magistrate would definitely not do well. fruit to eat.

"Wu Baihu, why don't you give me some face?" County magistrate Zhu said with a smile to Wu Baihu in armor, "I don't look at the face of the monk but at the face of the Buddha. The official has to have an excuse, I don't know whose order Dou Qianhu is following?"

It stands to reason that the guards do not have the authority to arrest people, and it is the responsibility of the local government to investigate and adjudicate cases.

Wu Baihu was also tactful, and he was willing to sell it to County Magistrate Zhu, "The humble job is just to follow orders, and I haven't seen outsiders come to the guard to visit Dou Qianhu."

As far as the point is concerned, it is most suitable for use in officialdom. If it is possible for Dou Qianhu to order the arrest of Zhang Shi without anyone noticing it, if it is before today, County Magistrate Zhu will have to think about it.

But at the moment when Wu Baihu raised the topic, County Magistrate Zhu thought of Zhan Feiyu. That little girl really wasn't bluffing, she was definitely an order from the Forbidden Dragon Guard to Dou Qianhu.

After thinking about it, County Magistrate Zhu took a sympathetic look at Zhang Yiyi who was putting on airs. With the Forbidden Dragon Guards around, let alone she is just someone close to Lord Hou. In the Daqing Dynasty, who would dare to offend the Forbidden Dragon Guards who confiscated their families and exterminated their families.

Seeing Zhu County Magistrate's expression, Zhang Yiyi's heart skipped a beat, suppressing her panic and uneasiness, "What's the matter, wait until Lord Hou comes, I'll stay here, I want to see who dares to take me away by force !"

Lian'er was also uneasy, she hurriedly stood beside Zhang Yiyi, and forced herself to speak: "Why are you arresting my wife? Is there any law left!"

"The eight corpses are still lying in the coffin, Madam, don't you think it's over?" Wu Baihu snorted coldly, even though he wasn't a good person, he didn't kill eight people even if he made a move. So what if it's eight rogues?Daqing law is not a good show.

Thinking about it this way, Wu Baihu looked at Zhang Yiyi with beautiful facial features, as if he saw a life-threatening ghost, a hornet with a tail and a needle, the most poisonous woman's heart, and he was right.

With a sweep of his gaze, Wu Baihu looked at the four guards of the Marquis Mansion standing in front of him, "If anyone resists, shoot them to death!"

Since he dared to arrest people, Wu Baihu brought a total of 50 people here. If the guards of the Hou Mansion dare to stop them, don't blame him for being rude.

Zhang Yiyi's face changed again, through the wide open door, he could see the soldiers of the guard standing neatly in the yard, holding sabers in their hands, looking imposing.

"Being upright is not afraid of the shadow slanting, I will walk with you!" Zhang Yiyi stopped struggling indifferently, stood up, and winked at Lian'er beside her.

After a while, Zhang Yiyi was taken away, and County Magistrate Zhu also left with him. After all, this person was still detained in the county government prison, but the guards changed from jailers to soldiers of the guards.

……

Xiangwu County is such a big place. In the morning, eight corpses were placed at the gate of the Qiu Mansion, and in the afternoon, the small courtyard at the south gate of the Dong family was surrounded by a group of soldiers. The news spread all over Xiangwu County as if they had grown wings.

In the study, Zhan Feiyu is catching up on homework that was delayed in the morning.

He Nuan stood quietly and waited until Zhan Feiyu put down his pen, and then brought over the red dates and longan soup in the food box, "A quarter of an hour ago, the maid next to Mrs. Zhang came."

When I was sheltering from the rain in the ruined temple, Zhan Feiyu was impressed by Lian'er's domineering appearance. He picked up a spoon and took two sips of soup, "Did you come to plead with Yang Xu?"

Zhang Yiyi's arrest was done by Zhan Feiyu, even if the news spread back to the Marquis' Mansion at the edge of the town, it would take at least a day for the people from the Marquis Mansion to come over in this cold weather.

While tidying up the desk, He Nuan replied, "No, I complained to Master Xu."

Zhan Feiyu laughed, "It's okay, Old General Yang is going to train Yang Xu."

Seeing that Zhan Feiyu wasn't worried, He Nuan didn't say much anymore. If Master Xu blamed or even resented Miss because of this, then it would be a waste of time to be a lady.

After a while, He Nuan left the study with an empty food box, while Qiu Zongxi was not surprised by the appearance of Yang Shoucheng in the main courtyard on the other side.

"The little girl has something to do with the Forbidden Dragon Guards, this is something I never thought of." Raising his hand to signal Yang Shoucheng to sit down, Qiu Zongxi's face darkened, and his voice was somewhat complicated.

Compared with the hatred and aversion towards the Forbidden Dragon Guard by civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty, Qiu Zongxi, who has a violent personality, can see it clearly. The reason why the Holy Majesty supports the Forbidden Dragon Guard is to deal with those dirty things that cannot be brought to the fore.

If the officials in the court acted upright and sat upright, why should they fear the all-pervasive Forbidden Dragon Guard? To put it bluntly, it was not because they were hiding filth that they were afraid of the Forbidden Dragon Guard.

Yang Shoucheng's face was sullen, and he said in a deep voice: "If Xueshi Gu has something to do with the Forbidden Dragon Guard, the establishment of the reserve will not be far away."

As a scholar of the Imperial Academy, a cabinet minister, and the confidant of the Holy Majesty, Xueshi Gu can be said to be a lone minister. He has not even had any contact with the Nanling Gu family these years, which further shows Gu Xueshi's determination to be a lone minister.

And the Forbidden Dragon Guard is a knife in the hands of the Holy Master. Wherever the Holy Master points, the knife will kill. The notoriety is borne by the Forbidden Dragon Guard. , the first one to liquidate is the Forbidden Dragon Guard.

Now that the two are connected, it is no wonder that Yang Shoucheng guessed that Gu Xueshi and the forbidden dragon guard secretly united in order to protect themselves. At least it is the merits of the dragon, and at the worst it might be to coerce the emperor to order the princes.

"I have also taught that girl Xiaoyu for a few days. She is thoughtful and impeccable. It is impossible for her to take out the token of the Forbidden Dragon Guard rashly and let Dou Qianhu arrest her." solution.

If Gu Qingzhou has something to do with the Forbidden Dragon Guard, he must be acting in secret. The first person to hide is the Holy One. Don't think that the Holy One is a wise ruler, but he couldn't tolerate the Yang family back then, and now he won't condone the cabinet ministers and the Forbidden Dragon. Wei teamed up.

However, Zhan Feiyu acted carelessly, and put the relationship between Gu Xueshi and the forbidden dragon guard on the bright side. Not to mention Qiu Zongxi couldn't figure it out, it is estimated that after the news spread, the civil and military forces of the whole dynasty would not be able to figure it out. Aren't you afraid that the Holy Majesty will become suspicious in a fit of anger?
Far away in the remote Longyou Road, Zhan Feiyu didn't know that one of his actions made the whole Daqing Dynasty restless, but no one dared to ask Gu Xueshi, let alone go to ban Longwei, everyone was anxious It's like being caught by a cat, but the face on the morning pilgrimage is as usual, which is even more unpredictable.

"If Xueshi Gu has the merits of being a dragon, he may have ulterior motives for letting Xiaoyu come here." This is what Yang Shoucheng is most worried about.

If the Yang family revives, it is only to protect the people of one side, not to become a tool for the ministers of the court to fight for power and profit, and it will not interfere with the establishment of the crown prince.

The Yang family is far away from the court, and Qiu Zongxi has the temperament of idle clouds and wild cranes, so they don't know the situation of the princes in the palace, so even if they have this inference, they don't know which prince Gu Xueshi is optimistic about.

After Yang Shoucheng left, Qiu Zongxi sighed after being silent for a long time, he was really old, not to mention Gu Qingzhou who was far away in the court, even the little girl who lived in the mansion, he couldn't figure it out.

Zhan Feiyu originally thought that Yang Xu would come to see him before dinner, but after the meal, he learned from He Nuan that Yang Xu had gone to see Qiu Jinyu.

Although Yang Xu admired Zhan Feiyu who was only one year older than him, he was unwilling to admit it.

But Qiu Jinyu was different. He was several years older, and Yang Xu had a very good impression of him because he was a member of the Qiu family. Let go of your vigilance.

"Are you sure Miss Zhan did it?" Qiu Jinyu froze for a moment, looked at Yang Xu who nodded, and couldn't help frowning, "In that case, why don't you ask uncle?"

Thinking of Qiu Zongxi's true temperament of jealousy and hatred, if Yang Xu went there, Qiu Zongxi would definitely say that he was caught well, and the murderer who caressed about human life should have been sent to prison.

"It's not easy for a woman. Once she is imprisoned, it will be very difficult even if her charges are cleared in the future." Qiu Jinyu has a warm face and a clear and pleasant voice, "If the evidence is convincing, that's all. It's too extreme."

Yang Xu stared at the candlelight in a daze, and in the afternoon the maid kept crying that although the deep love between mother and child was fake in Yang Xu's view, the death of those eight scoundrels was caused by Luo Butou, Xiao Yu Why not let the guard go to catch the real murderer, but...

In fact, in the morning, when Zhan Feiyu gave the banknotes and asked those people to carry the body back for burial, Yang Xu wondered why he didn't arrest Luo Tuotou.

County magistrate Zhu flattered Xiaoyu, and it was only right that Luo Butou, the mastermind behind the scenes, be arrested and brought to justice.

"I want Brother Qiu to go to the county government office for me." Too many complicated emotions were mixed in his mind, Yang Xu couldn't figure it out, so he could only make his request first.

Zhang Yiyi could be said to have betrayed the Yang family back then, and these years he lived in the Marquis' Mansion at the border of the town for no reason. Yang Xu was really ashamed to ask Old General Yang and Yang Shoucheng to help.

As for Old Man Tie in the blacksmith shop, he was the former member of Yang's family back then. I'm afraid he hated Zhang Yiyi even more and would not help.

Yang Xu thought about the people around him, and finally realized that he could only ask Qiu Jinyu for help, and he himself didn't want to visit the cell.

Qiu Jinyu laughed, raised her hand and patted Yang Xu's shoulder comfortingly, "Don't worry, I'll take a trip for you tomorrow and take care of it, no matter what, it's your mother after all."

"Thank you Brother Qiu." Yang Xu thanked gratefully. If she really killed someone, that's all. If she's innocent, she won't be able to go back to the Marquis' Mansion in the town. Yang Xu plans to buy a small courtyard for Zhang Yiyi to live in. Think of it as repaying the debt of gratitude.

……

Qiu Zongxi didn't want to see the third bedroom of the Qiu family, so even if Qiu Jinyu moved in, he didn't even have a banquet, let alone caring about Qiu Jinyu's whereabouts.

It's just that after he took people to the county government office, the news quickly spread back to the Qiu Mansion, including the Zhenbianhou Mansion and other forces who must be watching secretly.

After the morning lecture was over, Qiu Zongxi drank two sips of tea to moisten his throat, "You can hold your breath."

"Mr.'s words are wrong. I have nothing to do with Zhang's outcome. If she is the murderer behind the scenes, she will be punished by the Daqing Law. If she is innocent..." Zhan Feiyu grinned. In fact, it is impossible to be innocent, and it is probably Yang Xu still had some thoughts in his heart, thinking that the murderer behind the scenes was Luo Butou.

"You know that scholars hate the Forbidden Dragon Guard. You have contacts with the Forbidden Dragon Guard. Once it gets out, you will be rejected or even hated by scholars all over the world." Qiu Zongxi looked serious.

No matter what calculations Gu Qingzhou has, Qiu Zongxi really likes Zhan Feiyu. The little girl is smart at every point, and the key is to be diligent and hardworking, otherwise he wouldn't have thought of accepting apprentices.

So what Qiu Zongxi said was persuasion and also a reminder to make Zhan Feiyu a little wary of Gu Qingzhou. Not all teachers regard their disciples as parents and children, and there may be calculations and uses in this.
