I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 306 Revealing Evidence
Yang Shoucheng originally only asked Zhan Feiyu to relieve Yang Xu. Even he never thought that Zhou Shuyao's death might be a homicide. They all said that tiger poison does not eat its offspring, so it was his mother and uncle.

But if Zhou Shuyao really died at the hands of Zhang Minxian, let alone helping and taking care of Zhang's family, Yang Shoucheng wished that Yang Xu could stay away from Zhang's family. Such a vicious and vicious person would definitely stab a knife in the back for profit. .

Yang Xu's shock can be imagined, his mind, which had been relieved a little, now felt a dull pain, as if a villain was holding a hammer and kept beating in his head.

After a long time, Yang Xu looked at Zhan Feiyu with a straight face and said, "Little fish, do you have evidence?"

Saying this may be the last persistence of Yang Xu's most human nature.

"Do you think Zhou Shuyao has a character of committing suicide in fear of crime?" Zhan Feiyu didn't say anything about the gold and jade earrings with jade rabbit smashing medicine patterns. The little girl will kill herself.

Yang Xu opened his mouth, convinced without evidence.

Zhou Shuyao is the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, and Zhang Minhuai, the wife of the family, is scheming and resourceful. Zhou Shuyao grew up pampered since she was a child. She has learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is known as a talented woman in Linzhou Prefecture.

Because of her family background, Zhou Shuyao's temperament is somewhat arrogant and domineering, but under Zhang Minhua's precepts and deeds, she is also well versed in the rules of dealing with others.

Previously, there was a conflict in the teahouse over tea, and Zhou Shuyao acted like an arrogant daughter of a family, but after knowing that Zhan Feiyu was a student of Gu Xueshi, the Zhang family and the Zhou family could not afford to offend, she immediately let go of herself to Zhan Feiyu. Fish apologized.

Not to mention that in order to please Yang Xu later, Zhou Shuyao let go of her official daughter's face and airs. She cared for Yang Xu, a cousin, and was generous when getting along with Qiu Jinyu, showing the demeanor of an official's daughter.

Zhou Shuyao, a delicate little girl who has never been through a lot of troubles, said that she would choose to commit suicide for the future of the family?Even Yang Xu, who was ignorant of the world, thought it was unlikely.

So apart from suicide, it could only be homicide. Thinking of the quarrel between cousin Zhou and him at that time, Yang Xu's dark face was solemn, and at first glance he looked like a miniature version of General Yang.

"Xiaoyu, is Cousin Zhou planning to kill me to scare me? But in the end she was murdered!" Although Yang Xu is not good at intrigue, he is not without brains. He thought about everything before and after, Yang Xu figured it out, but his head hurt even more, he might as well not know.

Zhan Feiyu nodded, seeing that Yang Xu could still bear his emotions, he continued: "I deduced this way, she deliberately quarreled with you, and pretended to commit suicide after you left, but was rescued in the end In this way, you will still feel guilty and blame yourself, and Zhou Shuyao's goal will be achieved."

It's just that she thought well, but she never expected that she would really die at the hands of her close relatives. The 14-year-old girl died before she could reach her age.

Yang Xu thought for a while, if Cousin Zhou committed suicide because of Fu Langhuan's death, even if she didn't die, he would still feel guilty. After all, Cousin Zhou was strangled to death because of her insanity. Fu Langhuan.

She had already suffered too much gossip, and he even had a big fight with her. Once she committed suicide, Yang Xu felt that he was the last straw that crushed her.

"Xiao Xu, go back to sleep for a while." Yang Shoucheng looked at Yang Xu whose eyes were bloodshot. After all, he was only an eight-year-old child. Xiao Xu had endured a lot during this time, so he should be allowed Relax, the string will break if it is stretched too tight.

With a dull pain in his head, Yang Xu glanced at Yang Shoucheng and Zhan Feiyu, and realized that his father must have something to say to Xiaoyu, and he deliberately avoided himself.

But Yang Xu didn't think he could accept more stimulation, and he didn't want to stay, for fear of hearing some unacceptable inside stories and secrets, "Father, Xiaoyu, I'm going back first."

"A Nuan, make some soothing soup for Yang Xu." Zhan Feiyu couldn't help but said, looking at Yang Xu's small back, he felt an inexplicable sense of guilt.

In his previous life, he would have been a first-grade elementary school student, but what he was facing this time was one murder case after another.

After He Nuan agreed, he left with Yang Xu. The distraught Young Master Xu was indeed a bit pitiful.

"Uncle Yang." Zhan Feiyu knew that what Yang Shoucheng wanted to ask was evidence, so he told about the earring without concealing it.

After a long silence, Yang Shoucheng's face returned to his usual cold and serious face, and his low voice sounded emotionless, "So Zhang Minxian encouraged his niece to use suicide to plot against Xiaoxu, and he took advantage of the opportunity to kill Zhou Shuyao."

"Zhou Shuyao likes Qiu Jinyu, but the family background of the Zhou family is far worse than that of the Qiu family in Qianzhong Dao. Although there is an in-law of the Yang family, who in Longyou Dao doesn't know that the Zhang family and the Zhou family made trouble for the Yang family back then. , even if the Yang family revives the Zhang family and the Zhou family, they will not be honored, and it is the Yang family's generosity not to retaliate."

Zhan Feiyu's fair bun face was calm, and her methodical words made her look more like Yang Shoucheng's peers, rather than a nine-year-old girl, "Zhou Shuyao urgently needs to restore the relationship with Yang Xu's cousin, so this It is the capital for her to successfully marry Qiu Jinyu."

So Zhan Feiyu deduced that Zhang Minxian used this to persuade Zhou Shuyao to pretend to commit suicide.

Girlish feelings are always poetry. When Zhou Shuyao gestured on her neck with scissors, all she thought was to draw a wound, and then Yang Xu felt guilty to herself, and even responded to her requests, and she married Qiu Jinyu as Yang Xu's cousin .

Everything was so beautiful and happy, until the sharp scissors really cut her neck, cut a deep wound, and blood gushed out.

At that moment Zhou Shuyao must have regretted it, but unfortunately she had already collapsed on the ground unable to call for help, and finally died of excessive blood loss.

Yang Shoucheng suddenly raised his head, his gaze was complex and deep, "Won't the Forbidden Dragon Guard intervene?"

The imperial decree has not yet been issued, and the Yang family has not recovered, so even if Yang Shoucheng wants to do something, he can't let go, and some things can't be found out without sending someone to investigate.

But it would be different if the Forbidden Dragon Guard made a move. The Forbidden Dragon Guard had the right to behead Zhang Minxian first, and even take down Zhang Minxian directly. He would not be afraid that he would not confess at that time.

Although Zhu County Magistrate issued a gag order, the outside world thought that Zhou Shuyao committed suicide in fear of crime, but in the other courtyard that day, Yang Xu and Zhou Shuyao had a loud quarrel, and all the servants heard it, and Zhang Minhua knew it too.

So regardless of Zhang Minxian, at least in Zhang Minhua's eyes, Yang Xu was the murderer who killed her daughter, and the Zhou family and Zhang family would also think so.

Once the news spread, Yang Xu owed the Zhang family and the Zhou family a life. In the future, the two families don't need to be warm with Yang Xu. Others are afraid of the Yang family, so they will naturally support the Zhou family and the Zhang family.

"Uncle Yang, the Forbidden Dragon Guard never interferes with local affairs, unless it is an imperial decree or oral order from the Holy Spirit." Zhan Feiyu said apologetically.

Maybe outsiders will misunderstand that Yang Xu forced Zhou Shuyao to death, and think that he was inescapably responsible for Zhou Shuyao's death, but with Yang Xu on one side and Yin Wuyan on the other, Zhan Feiyu could only choose the latter.

Dazed for a moment, Yang Shoucheng understood and said in a deep voice, "I forced it."

It has been a great help for Xiaoyu to reveal the evidence of Zhou Shuyao's suicide. At least Yang Xu will not feel so guilty and blame himself, and if Zhan Feiyu is asked to help, Yang Shoucheng is not so brazen.

Zhan Feiyu smiled indifferently. Uncle Yang is really a kind person. If it is really a moral kidnapping, Zhan Feiyu will have to worry about the cooperation between the teacher and the Yang family. A cabinet scholar with power over the government and the public, and one is a general with military power in his hands.

But cooperation is cooperation, mutual exchange, equality and freedom, if one party makes progress, then there is no need for such cooperation.

……

Following the Fu family's funeral, Fu Langhuan was buried next to the Fu family's ancestral grave, Zhang Minxian also left Xiangwu County with Zhou Shuyao's body the next day and returned to Linzhou Prefecture. .

Before Zhang Minxian left, he only asked someone to come to the Qiu Mansion to inform him, and left a letter for Yang Shoucheng. The girl had endured too much, and she committed suicide because she couldn't think of it for a while, so Yang Xu should not feel guilty.

study.

"What? Tomorrow is the Laba Festival, and everyone is crying. Are you planning to celebrate the New Year?" Qiu Zongxi slapped the book in his hand on the desk with a bang, and scolded him all over his face. Of course, Yang Xu was the one who was mainly scolded.

Zhan Feiyu, whose innocence was affected, gave a cheeky smile, lowered his head and continued to rack his brains to write articles.

The old man has been feeling uncomfortable for the past few days, and the questions he asked have become more and more tricky, and they are all intercepted questions. Zhan Feiyu has begun to doubt the outside world's evaluation of the old man fishing alone. Is this open-minded and uninhibited?This is obviously retaliation, but the key point is that I was unlucky enough to be imprisoned.

"Grandpa Qiu, I..." Yang Xu stood up, glanced at the messy words written by himself, and lowered his head in shame.

Left and right Qiu Jinyu was not in the study, Qiu Zongxi didn't have any hesitation in swearing, and snorted coldly, "What me? You are only one year younger than Xiaoyu, and you will go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in the future. If two people die, you will look half-dead." Look, if you were General Lei, you would have wiped your own neck with your sword long ago!"

The General Lei that Qiu Zongxi mentioned is one of the people Yang Xu admires the most. 30 years ago, General Lei guarded the border, but because someone in the army colluded with the barbarians, a piece of false information led General Lei to lead troops out of the city to hunt down the enemy.

Who knew that this was just a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and the inner ghost arrested all sixteen members of General Lei's family.

Three days later, General Lei returned to the city, and the barbarians attacked the city.

If General Lei was willing to exchange the barbarians imprisoned in the city, then they would also release the sixteen members of the Lei family. Otherwise, they would kill one person for every incense stick, until all sixteen people were killed.

Above the city tower, the military advisers, lieutenants, and other generals all persuaded General Lei to exchange and release those barbarians, so that they could be captured again in the future. Among the 16 members of Lei’s family were General Lei’s old parents, his wife and children, And his brothers, nephews and nieces.

But in the end, General Lei shot and killed 16 members of the Lei family with his own hands, and then led the troops out of the city to fight a bloody battle with the barbarians. Although the barbarians were defeated, there was no cheering on the battlefield. Kneeling there for three days and three nights.

"You haven't raised your head yet. Look at you. You don't have the demeanor of the Yang family of the General's Mansion!" Qiu Zongxi yelled angrily, and couldn't get used to the dejected Yang Xu.

"Although two little girls died, did you kill them? You are so guilty and terrified all day long. It will be your comrades who will die after that day, and hundreds, thousands, or even several people will die. Thousands of people, don’t you want to cut yourself into pieces? Send a piece of meat to the family as atonement for you, the general!”

With a puff, Zhan Feiyu couldn't help laughing.

Suddenly, Qiu Zongxi stared at Zhan Feiyu fiercely, and said in a cold voice, "Is what the old man said wrong?"

"Mr. is absolutely right." His head shook like a rattle, Zhan Feiyu didn't dare to offend Mr. Qiu at this time, just like a powder barrel, it exploded at a touch.

The point is that after the bombing, I have to write an essay on the topic. Don't say that Mr. Qiu is right, even if he blames the deer, Zhan Feiyu will cheer him up. Those who understand current affairs are heroes.

snort!Qiu Zongxi snorted coldly, and was very dissatisfied with Zhan Feiyu's sloppy behavior. If Yang Xu's elm head was so alert, he would wake up laughing from his dreams.

Really didn't see the self-pitying Yang Xu, Qiu Zongxi said to Zhan Feiyu angrily: "It's been a lot of fun for a few days, why don't you talk about how to break this elm head?"

Turning his head to look at Yang Xu, Zhan Feiyu laughed unkindly, "After reading my poems, the teacher once said, since you are not good at writing poems, you should use fire to fight fire. If you can't write a poem well, then write ten poems." First, write a hundred poems."

Qiu Zongxi didn't understand, and Yang Xu was also confused.

Zhan Feiyu touched his fleshy round chin, and couldn't bear to look at Yang Xu, but gritted his teeth cruelly and continued: "Yang Xu is worried about the deaths of Fu Langhuan and Zhou Shuyao, so let Uncle Yang come forward." Take Yang Xu on a few missions, kill a few more, kill a few more, two if one is not enough, five or ten if one is not enough, the more you kill, the more you die, it is estimated that Yang Xu will be able to recover."

Qiu Zongxi shook his hand holding the teacup, and the tea spilled out. Fortunately, the tea was not hot when He Nuan brought it over, otherwise Qiu Zongxi's hand would definitely have scalded several blisters.

Yang Xu even looked as if he had been struck by lightning. He looked at Zhan Feiyu dumbfounded, almost thinking that he had heard it wrong. What does it mean to kill two if one fails?Are you an executioner?

Looking at the frightened two people, Zhan Feiyu had an innocent expression on his face, as if he didn't say the shocking words, and suggested friendlyly: "If Uncle Yang is inconvenient or he doesn't want to be ruthless, I can help. "

How can Zhan Feiyu help?The old and the young thought of three words at the same time: Forbidden Dragon Guard!
Looking at the smiling Zhan Feiyu, Qiu Zongxi put the teacup back on the table. Even though he had experienced many things in his life, he was also frightened by this meeting. What kind of disciple did Gu Qingzhou accept?The little girl is cruel enough.
