I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 311

"This is the safest way to deal with Zhang." Yang Shoucheng did not hide Zhan Feiyu. From the time he decided to help Xueshi Gu, Yang Shoucheng regarded Zhan Feiyu as a peer to some extent.

Zhan Feiyu nodded understandingly, hesitated for a moment and asked, "I wish the prince is willing to help, but Uncle Yang must pay the corresponding price."

If Zhang's death would have too much impact on Yang Xu, Yang Shoucheng would be wary. Even if Zhu Xiao's offer was too much, Yang Shoucheng would agree.

Zhan Feiyu suddenly laughed, with a sly look on his face, "Uncle Yang, you also said that Mrs. Zhang is a restless person. She may stay dormant for a year or two, but there is no guarantee that she will come out to be a demon again in the future. Why don't you think about it?" How about a more secure way, once and for all?"

Kill Zhang?This was Yang Shoucheng's first reaction, but he immediately realized that if he really wanted to kill him, he wouldn't have to wait until today.

"I would like to hear more about it." Yang Shoucheng signaled Zhan Feiyu to continue.

"Absconding from prison." After giving the four-word answer, Zhan Feiyu laughed, "As a fugitive, no matter how many years pass, she will not dare to show up again, let alone threaten Yang Xu with the love of mother and child."

The best candidate to guard the Zhang family is the Zhang family in Linzhou Prefecture, which is her natal family and her enemy, and Zhang Minxian still has a handle, so there is no need to worry that the Zhang family will play tricks on it.

Thinking of Zhou Shuyao's death, Zhan Feiyu looked a little cold, "If the Dongchuang incident happens, someone will take the blame."

Why did Zhang Minxian take people away from the prison in Xiangwu County?Of course, the brother and sister love each other deeply, and they don't want Mrs. Zhang to be beheaded by Qiu Houwen, so they can only risk their lives to rob him.

"Young people are scary." Yang Shoucheng had to admire Zhan Feiyu's thoroughness and prudence. Not only did he think of a way out, but he even relieved the trouble of imprisoning Zhang.

Grinning, Zhan Feiyu with crooked eyebrows looked childish, "I can't bear Uncle Yang's praise, so I just came up with an idea, and you need to arrange the follow-up questions, Uncle Yang."

At night, the snowflakes that fell during the day finally stopped. Even though it was late at night, the accumulated snowflakes reflected the bleak moonlight. Walking on the quiet street, you can vaguely see the surrounding scenery.

A group of people quietly sneaked into the county government office of Xiangwu County. The slight action did not disturb the various forces lurking in the county. It is true to think that the county government has nothing worthy of all parties except Zhang, who has been reduced to a pawn. The place where the power pays attention.

After dawn, the streets and alleys rang out again, especially those small stalls selling breakfast food. The steam was steaming, accompanied by the smell of food, and the early risers were hungry.

"Get up." The woman guarding the women's prison yawned, holding the food box in one hand, her voice full of impatience.

At this time in previous years, the mother-in-law would have been able to go home long ago, give dozens of cash to the prison boss, and help clean the house when she returns home.

But this year there is an extra prisoner named Zhang, no matter how annoyed the mother-in-law is, she can only guard the cell and prepare three meals a day. Because Zhang coughs and has to make medicine every day, the more she thinks about it, the more annoyed she becomes.

"Mr. Zhang, it's time for breakfast. It's white flour steamed buns today." The woman glanced at the figure curled up in the quilt, and put the two steamed buns that had just been steamed into the open bowl through the gap in the prison door. He took out another bowl and poured half a bowl of hot water.

Except for the initial period of detention, Mrs. Zhang still relied on her status and was unwilling to eat the food that was comparable to pig food provided by the prison. However, she was hungry for a few days and knew that there was no hope of going out, so Mrs. Zhang let go of her airs.

Eat what you should eat, drink what you should drink, Zhang's attitude towards his mother-in-law is also very kind, and he even gave her the five taels of silver he took from Lian'er to ensure that he can not only drink hot water every day, You can also wet the veil with hot water to wipe your face, rustle your mouth, and take care of your appearance a little bit.

"Ms. Zhang?" The mother-in-law yelled again, seeing that the people in the bed hadn't responded yet, she couldn't help but thumped in her heart, and because she didn't hear the cough, she became even more flustered, "Mrs. Zhang, do you answer? "

While shouting, she hastily tore off the key from the waistband of her trousers. After a while, she opened the cell door, and the woman rushed towards the straw pile with a stride.

"Where's the person?" The woman who threw herself looked dumbfounded at the empty quilt. There was no one sleeping in it at all. I thought there was someone lying in it.

After reacting, the panicked and terrified mother-in-law raised her voice and howled, "Come here...something happened, Mrs. Zhang ran away..."

Early in the morning, the mother-in-law's shrill cries immediately woke up the jailer, Wu Baihuhe, who was in charge of guarding, and four of his subordinates.

Two quarters later.

Getting up from the warm blanket, the disheveled Magistrate Zhu hurried to the cell. Looking at the empty blanket, he couldn't help shouting, "Where is the person? Where is the prisoner? Where did Mrs. Zhang go?"

"My lord, please forgive me. I don't know about the old woman." Kneeling on the ground with a plop, the old woman hurriedly replied with a mournful face.

"When I came here in the morning, Mrs. Zhang disappeared. My lord, you see that the steamed buns are still warm. The door of this cell was opened by my key. Mrs. Zhang disappeared out of thin air."

Wu Baihu is carefully checking the lock on the cell door, and it has not been damaged by external force, so someone must have picked the lock and kidnapped Mrs. Zhang.

Although they were stationed in the county government prison to guard Mrs. Zhang during this period, they were serious at first, but after a long time, they knew that Mrs. Zhang was like this, and they didn't know how long they were imprisoned, not to mention a few subordinates, even five hundred households were lax. up.

Just let someone come over to look at it once a day, or ask the guard's mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, about the situation to ensure that the person will not die of illness in the cell.

It snowed all day yesterday, and the weather was so cold that people would shiver from the cold when they went out, so no one from the five hundred households went out of the house, let alone went to the cell to check in person.

As for the guard's mother-in-law, she didn't know what she was thinking at the moment, and her body kneeling on the ground was trembling non-stop.

County magistrate Zhu's beard was straight up, looking at the woman who was obviously guilty, he was even more angry, "You recruited me for the truth! Don't blame me for being rude to you if you dare to hide it!"

"My lord, please forgive me..." The mother-in-law cried out in fright, and kowtowed her head, not daring to hide it anymore, "My mistress came over yesterday..."

It turned out that the eldest son of this woman went to the roof to sweep snow, but accidentally slipped down and broke his leg. There are many things to do in this big New Year's house. In previous years, the mother-in-law could come back to wash and clean, or to prepare for the New Year. meals.

As a result, he couldn't come back this year, and the eldest son was going to see a doctor in the hospital, and the house was in a mess. The mother-in-law put the two meat buns she was going to eat at night into Zhang's cell as soon as she was in a hurry. She served it for dinner.

And the mother-in-law hurried home with her younger son. After a busy afternoon, the mother-in-law fell asleep at home, and hurried to the cell in the early morning. Who knew that Mrs. Zhang had disappeared.

"Wu Baihu?" County Magistrate Zhu waved his hand and asked the arresting police to drag the crying woman down. It's fine for this woman to leave her post without authorization, but Wu Baihu and the others are also responsible for guarding the cell. Zhang is gone. Could it be Wu Baihu? Baihu and the others didn't hear anything.

That drink last night?Wu Baihu's face was extremely ugly. Ever since the mother-in-law said that her eldest son had broken his leg, Wu Baihu knew that he was also playing tricks.

Several people from five hundred households were in the barracks on weekdays, and no one dared to drink because of strict military discipline.

But guarding Mrs. Zhang was just a job to pass the time. It was too cold, so they naturally drank some wine, gnawed on the braised pork they bought, and accidentally drank too much.

I didn't think it was a big deal at first, but now that I think about it, I'm afraid the wine was also drugged. They all drank to death last night and didn't hear anything.

"The person who can take Zhang away without anyone noticing must be a master. Mr. Zhu, let alone five of us, even if there are five more, it won't help." Excuse, but also the truth.

"If you want to answer the humble job, you should report to Dou Qianhu, and ask Mr. Zhu to send someone to guard the cell." Wu Baihu left the words, regardless of whether Zhu County Magistrate would jump in anger, and kept the four men to ensure that the cell was safe. will be destroyed.

As soon as Wu Baihu got out of the prison cell, he went to the stable to lead the horse out. After a while, he whipped his whip and went straight to the guard.

County magistrate Zhu was so angry that he couldn't speak, and Mrs. Zhang disappeared, and Wu Baihu told Dou Qianhu that it was useless!

"My lord, Mrs. Zhang is gone, why don't you go to Qiu's mansion first, maybe General Yang is in Qiu's mansion." The policeman beside him reminded in a low voice.

Mrs. Zhang is still guilty and suspected of murder. She disappeared. The person who made the move is likely to be the Yang family. After all, Mrs. Zhang is Yang Xu's biological mother, and she cannot have a murderer's biological mother.

Wiping his face fiercely, County Magistrate Zhu felt that he had lost weight during this time, and his face was almost gone. "Get ready for the sedan chair immediately, and I will go to the Qiu Mansion! Let Mr. He write the official document first, and cover the notebook The official seal of the official will be sent to the magistrate as soon as possible."

……

The movement of the county government is so big, the news must not be hidden.

Tea house, backyard.

"Father." Zhu Zhengrong came over in a hurry, looked at Zhu Xiao who was practicing sword in the courtyard, he didn't even bother to salute, and immediately told the news of Zhang's disappearance.

As soon as the sword was retracted, Zhu Xiao looked at the snow-covered bamboo forest in front of him, and flipped the sword flower with a flick of his wrist.

With a few clicks, a row of bamboo broke down the middle, and the snow on the bamboo leaves fell in a flurry. Zhu Xiao threw the sword to the guard at the side, and strode towards the house. Zhu Zhengrong immediately followed go up.

After a while, Zhu Xiao came out of the inner room after washing up, his expression was calm, and there was no trace of anger, "The one who can rob Mrs. Zhang without anyone noticing it is either the forbidden dragon guard or Yang Shoucheng."

It is impossible for the Dragon Guards to interfere with local affairs, so Yang Shoucheng was the only one who took action, and he was the only one who had the ability to snatch Mrs. Zhang from his cell without alarming any forces, and even secretly send him out of Xiangwu County.

"Father planned to cooperate with Yang Shoucheng before." Zhu Zhengrong didn't expect that General Yang Shoucheng, who is strong and strong, would be able to do the trick of robbing the prison.

After receiving the hot tea handed over by the maid, Zhu Xiao held the tea lid and gently stirred the tea leaves floating on the water, thinking of the previous meeting.

Even if Yang Shoucheng didn't express his opinion, Zhu Xiao guessed that he would agree. No matter how unbearable Mrs. Zhang was, she was Yang Xu's biological mother. If Mrs. Zhang was charged with murder, it would be a stain that Yang Xu would never wash away.

Zhu Xiao didn't expect that before he could discuss how to cooperate with Yang Shoucheng, the Zhang family would be robbed.

"Send someone to investigate and see if they can see Mrs. Zhang's whereabouts." Zhu Xiao put down his teacup and ordered in a deep voice, but someone outside the room answered yes, and then quickly left the teahouse.

Zhu Zhengrong also calmed down now, since the Yang family did it, there will be no clues left behind.

Mrs. Zhang disappeared last night, but she didn't know when she disappeared. The guard's mother-in-law didn't know, and the guards' soldiers were too drunk.

Zhu Zhengrong calculated according to three hours. Even though it was snowing heavily outside, there was not much snow on the official road. If the horse galloped wildly, it would take half the Longyou Road in three hours.

The key point is that she doesn't know which direction Zhang is going. Waiting until tomorrow, she will be able to leave the boundary of Longyou Dao. If she wants to find him again, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Knowing that it is impossible to find someone, Zhu Zhengrong couldn't help asking: "Father, at the critical period when the Yang family is about to recover, Zhang's disappearance, isn't the Yang family afraid that the censor will take a copy of them?"

Mrs. Zhang is a guilty body, involving eight lives. Although the dead are eight local scoundrels, but according to the Daqing Dynasty, once Mrs. Zhang pleads guilty, she will be executed.

Yang Shoucheng's robbery at this time is to send ready-made handles to the enemy. When something happened to the Yang family back then, it wasn't just the Zhenbianhou's mansion who fell into trouble. Not to mention, the Zhang family and Zhou family of Linzhou prefecture got involved. With one kick, all the other families in Longyou Dao who wanted to divide and seize military power all took action, and they seemed to be pushing the wall down.

Now that the Yang family is recovering, these people are also worried that the Yang family will settle accounts in the fall, and they are all in a state of panic all day long. If Yang Shoucheng dares to go to prison, he is not afraid that these people will form a rope to attack the Yang family again.

"The trend of the times." Zhu Xiao said in a deep voice, half-closed his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.

Shengshang Wentao and Wulue have also personally conquered by Yujia. Zhu Xiao had obeyed orders in the tent back then. The Holy Majesty wanted to restore the Yang family, so the Holy Majesty would not care about Zhang's small problem. What's more, Yang The family and the Holy Majesty have reached some kind of agreement.

Thinking about it this way, Zhu Xiao understood that if Yang Shoucheng dared to rob the prison, the Holy Majesty had already known about it, and even acquiesced. As Zheng Rong said, the ready-made handle was handed over to the Holy Majesty. Will rest assured, rest assured will continue to reuse, this is a win-win situation.

After listening to Zhu Xiao's advice, Zhu Zhengrong's complexion changed drastically, and he no longer had the high spirits of the eldest son of the Marquis of the Township. This is the general trend and cannot be violated by manpower.

Qiufu.

Just after breakfast, before Qiu Zongxi had time to take two steps in the courtyard to digest his food, he heard the news that Mrs. Zhang had been kidnapped.

In less than half an hour, the news was "unrecognizable" by people, and the suspect in the jail was naturally Yang Shoucheng.

From criticizing Yang Shoucheng's lawlessness, to embezzling military pay and killing innocent people indiscriminately, rumors spread. Those who didn't know thought Yang Shoucheng was a heinous sinner, and his crimes were too numerous to list.
