I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 332

The training of the Forbidden Dragon Guards was cruel, and so was the punishment. He Sheng received ten lashes, but this was not a simple punishment.

The ten whips, although it was traumatic, but the pain was incomparable to the ten boards that Zhan Feiyu suffered from the palm of his hand.

As for the others, Yin Wuyan withdrew them. Even if they were punished, they would never return to Zhan Feiyu's side. The new twelve Dragon Guards stood guard in the dark instead of them.

After three or two steps, seeing Gu Qingzhou not far away, Zhong Guang paused, "I'll apply some medicine to He Sheng, otherwise the fat girl will definitely find out."

He Sheng was punished. Even if he used the medicine, he only banned Longwei's most common hemostatic medicine. The smell of the medicine was a bit strong.

"Come in and talk." Gu Qingzhou is not afraid of the cold, but he is not happy to blow the cold wind outside in the cold weather.

When Yin Wuyan came in, Gu Qingzhou signaled him to sit down, and then said: "You also know Xiaoyu's temperament, she has the right idea, He Sheng and the others are followers, they can only obey orders."

Yin Wuyan didn't speak, and Gu Qingzhou didn't care, what he wanted to talk about was other things, "Is the town's Marquis Mansion properly arranged?"

It can be said that Zhu Xiao went to the barbarians to die and survive. Gu Qingzhou was surprised when he saw the secret letter that Zhu Xiao handed over.

A hero like Zhu Xiao, who has been operating in Longyou Dao for several years, still has no way to control the military power. It can be seen that the Yang family has absolute control over Longyou Dao. It is understandable that the Holy One was worried about Old General Yang's achievements.

"Zhu Xiao only took away Zhu Zhengrong, the eldest son, and two hundred elites from the Zhenbianhou residence." When it came to business, Yin Wuyan didn't hold back, and exchanged information with Gu Qingzhou, "Zhenbianhou and the rest of the Houfu are currently He has been secretly escorted back to Beijing."

People from Zhenbianhou's Mansion will be imprisoned in Beijing in the future, and they are considered hostages. If Zhu Xiao really dares to betray the Daqing Dynasty, these people from Zhenbianhou's Mansion will become ghosts under the sword.

Of course, since the Holy Majesty imprisoned Zhenbianhou and the others, it also means that they escaped death. Otherwise, when the Yang family recovers, Old General Yang will be wronged. end.

Zhu Xiao's move can be regarded as a glimmer of life for the Zhenbianhou Mansion.

After Zhu Xiao defected to the barbarians, the military power of the Marquis of Zhenbian was also handed over to the Holy Master, and Yang Shoucheng was willing to hand over the military power to protect Zhang's life. After this competition, the Holy Master became the biggest winner. Firmly control the military power of Longyou Dao.

When it comes to military power, not to mention that the Holy Majesty is worried about Gu Qingzhou, Gu Qingzhou will also take the initiative to avoid suspicion. The Holy Majesty will send another confidant general to take over the military power, but Yin Wuyan is currently handling these matters, so he can naturally do it without anyone noticing. deployment.

Especially with the cooperation of the Yang family, the layout is absolutely seamless. Even if the Holy One secretly sent the Dark Dragon Guards, Yin Wuyan can still hide the truth.

Even though it was late at night, he had been on the road these days, but Gu Qingzhou was already used to such busyness and fatigue.

After listening to Yin Wuyan's words, Gu Qingzhou pondered for a moment, and then said again: "Are you sure that the Yang family will help cover it up?"

Gu Qingzhou can imagine what will happen to Yin Wuyan once he is aware of the military power.

And even if it is not substantive evidence, as long as the Holy Majesty is suspected, Yin Wuyan, the Commander of the Forbidden Dragon Guards, is at the end of his game. If he knows too many secrets from the Holy Majesty, Yin Wuyan will undoubtedly die.

There was a sneer on the handsome and arrogant face, Yin Wuyan looked haughty and ruthless, "The Yang family committed crimes back then, not only the Holy Majesty, but the princes in the palace and their wives also wanted to share a piece of the pie. It’s fine for the Yang family to recover now, but once the sage has established a crown prince, it will be inevitable to settle accounts after the fall.”

It's not that Yin Wuyan looked down on the grown-up princes in the palace, but the eldest princes were really narrow-minded. Back then they offered to the Yang family to share the military power, but unfortunately they didn't succeed. They will definitely keep this hatred in their hearts.

Furthermore, once the crown prince is established, the ambition to gain military power will be revived again, and the stumbling block of the Yang family will naturally be removed. New and old grudges will superimpose, and the fate of the Yang family will never be good.

Chu Jun doesn't have the mind of a sage, he doesn't know how to lenient others, he only cuts the grass and roots, so if the Yang family wants to protect themselves, they must plan ahead, Yin Wuyan dares to be so sure that the Yang family will help.

If Zhan Feiyu is smart, but still has a bit of childishness and a pure heart, in Gu Qingzhou's view, people like Yin Wuyan are the most terrifying and dreadful, intelligent but cold-blooded, who regard human life as a He is so worthless and has the power of life and death in his hands. Once such a person becomes an enemy, the consequences will be disastrous.

After discussing the business, Yin Wuyan got up to leave.

But when he walked to the door, he opened it, and the howling cold wind blew in. Yin Wuyan, who was standing at the door, stopped, turned his back to the room and said in a cold voice, "Xiaoyu is still young, if there is something wrong with her, Please forgive me, Mr. Gu, I don't want to have a second time for what happened today."

Rao is Gu Qingzhou's self-cultivation is very good, and he was laughed at at the moment. As a teacher, he can't punish his disciples?
It's a pity that Yin Wuyan was warning instead of discussing, and went out without waiting for Gu Qingzhou's answer, but the weight of these words is self-evident.

If there is another time, even if Yin Wuyan can't attack Gu Qingzhou clearly, but as the commander of the Forbidden Dragon Guard, Yin Wuyan can definitely find more than ten ways to retaliate.

……

In the sound of firecrackers, one year old is removed, and the spring breeze sends Tusu away with warmer days.Thousands of households always exchange new peaches for old talismans.

In the sound of crackling firecrackers, Zhan Feiyu rubbed left and right in the bed, even though he was reluctant, he finally got up resignedly, "A Nuan, I'm up."

It was half an hour later than the usual wake-up time, but it was just dawn this time.

He Nuan put the hot water aside, then picked up the clothes on the kang and walked over, his movements were no different from those in the past.

However, if Zhan Feiyu observed carefully, he could find that He Nuan's movements were slightly stiff. Even after taking medicine, any movement of his hands would still cause whiplash on his back.

There is no distinction between men and women in the Forbidden Dragon Guard. After He Sheng received ten lashes, He Nuan and Zhan Feiyu went to receive the punishment after he fell asleep.

Fortunately, Chongguang's wound medicine is really effective, even if the wound hurts, it stops the bleeding. The key is that there is no medicine smell. As long as He Nuan pays attention, Zhan Feiyu will not find that she is injured.

study.

The charcoal basin has already been lit, so even in the early morning when the dripping water turns to ice, the study will not feel cold.

"Can't you let the little girl sleep late on the first day of the new year?" Qiu Zongxi is old and has a short sleep time. In addition, he used to come to the study room at this time to give Zhan Feiyu homework advice, so today is also the same. in this way.

But when he saw Gu Qingzhou who checked Zhan Feiyu's homework in the study first, Qiu Zongxi suddenly became sore. Why isn't such a smart and sensible girl his disciple?

"Instead of sleeping for half an hour longer, it's better to take the imperial examination as soon as possible. When you are in your early years, the sea will be wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky will be high enough for birds to fly." Compared with Qiu Zongxi's nose and eyes, Gu Qingzhou looks magnanimous and calm.

Qiu Zongxi let out a cold snort of dissatisfaction, before he could refute, footsteps came from outside the study, He Nuan pushed open the door, and Zhan Feiyu wrapped in a bear walked in.

In the study room, the conversation between the master and the apprentice resounded, and Qiu Zongxi also wanted to know Gu Qingzhou's ability to teach his disciples, so he sat on the sidelines and watched.

"There is a saying in "Book of Jin": Majestic and majestic, erudite and good at military art, serious and resolute, majestic and far-reaching, don't worry about small things." After Gu Qingzhou finished speaking, he looked at Zhan Feiyu and asked: " Does Marquis Wu know about it?"

Relying on his photographic memory, Zhan Feiyu can be regarded as an expansive book, "Wang Meng's word Jinglue..."

"Now that you know, do you think Wang Meng is loyal to the former Qin Dynasty or the Eastern Jin Dynasty?" After Gu Qingzhou asked, she also left time for Zhan Feiyu to think, opened her previous homework, and then took up a pen and began to review.

Zhan Feiyu didn't think about Gu Qingzhou's question for the first time, but wondered why the teacher suddenly asked Wang Meng. Could it be that the teacher was secretly talking about Zhu Xiao's defection to the barbarians?

Two quarters of an hour later, Gu Qingzhou put down his pen, which also meant that Zhan Feiyu's thinking time was over.

"Lu Polou once said that Wang Meng's strategy is not born in the world." Zhan Feiyu stood up and replied, his clear voice echoed in the study, "There is Bole in the world, and then there is a thousand-mile horse. Wang Meng met Lu Polou in Guanzhong, and then through him... "

In the study room here, Gu Qingzhou pointed out Zhan Feiyu with historical figures. On the other side, Yin Wuyan was never idle, and went to the courtyard where General Yang lived temporarily.

"Old General Yang doesn't have to be like this. Since it's a matter of the Yang family, it's okay for Yang Xu to stay and listen." If Yin Wuyan's eyes were not still indifferent, he would have thought that he valued Yang Xu, a junior, very much.

Old General Yang was slightly surprised, and then laughed loudly, "Since this is the case, Xiao Xu, you can stay."

Yang Xu, who just got up and was about to leave, sat back on the chair after hearing the words, looking straight at Yin Wuyan.

Maybe it's because Zhan Feiyu and Yin Wuyan are too close, the kind of harmonious atmosphere that outsiders can't get in, Yang Xu, as a little friend, can't help being jealous, and wants to know what is so special about him, so he let Zhan Feiyu is so close and dependent.

"The news of Qiu Jinyu's death must have spread. Although this matter is harmful to Xiaoyu's reputation, but during the critical period of the Yang family's recovery, if someone with a heart contributes to the flames, the crime of killing Qiu Jinyu will definitely fall on Yang Xu." Yin Wuyan's words are not alarmist, nor are they trying to shirk responsibility for Zhan Feiyu.

Gu Qingzhou is a scholar of the current dynasty, no matter what Zhan Feiyu's background is, but now she is Gu Xueshi's only disciple, so slandering Zhan Feiyu is tantamount to offending Gu Xueshi, and most people will never try it easily.

Furthermore, Zhan Feiyu is a little girl after all, even if she has a talent for reading, in the eyes of the world, when Zhan Feiyu is old enough, she will eventually marry like an ordinary housewife, and she will take care of her husband and raise her children in the future.

Therefore, whether Zhan Feiyu's reputation is good or bad, it doesn't matter to these big families. On the contrary, if they believe it, they will offend Bachelor Gu, which will do all harm but no benefit.

But it's different to put Qiu Jinyu's murder on Yang Xu's head. The Yang family has made a lot of enemies. Once the Yang family recovers, the Longyoudao family will be the ones who will be settled by Qiuhou, especially when they ambushed and assassinated Yang Xu at Aozikou. , This is the death feud.

So if they knew that they would die, it would be better to drag Yang Xu into the water by the way, ruin Yang Xu's reputation, make him a murderer, and even if they die, they will have someone to back them up.

"So even if the old man can control the situation, news that is unfavorable to Yang Xu will still spread." Old General Yang understood the deep meaning of Yin Wuyan's words.

The Yang family has absolute control over Longyou Dao, and those enemies secretly want to destroy Yang Xu, and it depends on whether Old General Yang will agree!

But if Yang Xu's reputation is preserved, Zhan Feiyu's reputation will be in jeopardy. Yin Wuyan will not let dirty water be splashed on Zhan Feiyu's head, so even if Old General Yang intervenes, Yin Wuyan will still release news that the murderer who killed Qiu Jinyu was Yang Xu and Zhan Feiyu will be taken out of this matter.

There is a difference between closeness and closeness, and Yin Wuyan would do this. General Yang can understand, and Yang Shoucheng and Yang Xu beside him can also understand. After all, Zhan Feiyu chose Qiu Jinyu to die, and it was also to protect Yang Xu.

"Instead of choosing one of the two, it's better to let Qiu Jinyu die." Yin Wuyan didn't give a shit, and explained the purpose of coming, "The barbarians will besiege Xiangwu County, and the person who is responsible is Qiu Jinyu."

Qiu Jinyu's identity as a barbarian spy was exposed, and the third family of the Qiu family dared not rely on Yang Xu even if they had the guts to repay their kindness. They even had to thank Yang Xu and Zhan Feiyu for their good killing and wonderful killing Otherwise, the entire Sanfang would be ransacked and beheaded by barbarian spies.

Old General Yang frowned, his expression complicated and indistinguishable, and he said after a while: "You want to get Zhu Xiao out of this matter?"

The Yang family disdains to use dirty means to take revenge on the Zhenbianhou's mansion, and will only take revenge openly and aboveboard. Zhu Xiao's private affair with the barbarians is a capital crime. Old General Yang can use this matter to liquidate the entire Zhenbianhou's mansion. Catch those who should be arrested, kill those who should be killed, avenge those who are wronged, and take revenge on those who have vengeance.

Yin Wuyan didn't speak. As for Yang Xu's shocked and angry eyes, Yin Wuyan didn't even bother to look at him. If he wasn't too incompetent, how could Xiaoyu be injured.

"What if in the future Zhu Xiao and the old department of the Zhenbianhou's Mansion cooperate with each other?" Yang Shoucheng asked the most critical question.

Zhu Xiao has already gone to the barbarians. If he doesn't pay back the subordinates he left in Longyou Dao, who can guarantee that they will not cooperate with Zhu Xiao to deal with the Daqing Dynasty in the future. The Yang family guards Longyou Dao, so this hidden danger will eventually endanger It's still the Yang family.

"General Yang can rest assured that everything in the town's Marquis Mansion will be dealt with by the sage." The cold voice sounded, since Yin Wuyan wants to cooperate with the Yang family, he will still reveal the inside story, "As for Zhu Xiao and Zhu Zhengrong, if they Dare to have second thoughts, even if they hide in the ends of the earth, the Forbidden Dragon Guard will still take their heads!"

If there are other people imprisoned in Zhenbianhou in the capital who can't restrain Zhu Xiao, Yin Wuyan doesn't mind taking them to the barbarians in person. Forbidden Dragon Guards have never missed a kill before.

Yang Shoucheng and Old General Yang looked at each other. Sure enough, when it comes to power and strategy, the Holy One is the leader. After reviving the Yang family, he firmly controlled the Zhenbianhou Mansion.

And using the Zhang family, took away most of the military power in the hands of the Yang family, without spending a single soldier, within five years, the Holy Majesty will firmly control Longyou Dao, with military power in his hands.

Old General Yang looked at Yin Wuyan sternly. His Majesty did not miss anything, but it is a pity that people make things happen. I am afraid that His Majesty never thought that his most trusted subordinate had other thoughts.

But as far as the Yang family is concerned, if the Holy Majesty has the military power in me, then the Yang family will lose the capital to contend with the Holy Majesty, and it is only a matter of the Holy Majesty's thought to kill or cut.

"Okay, I agree to you." Old General Yang gave the result in a final word. If you don't agree, you can't do it. He is old, and this old bone can last for a few years.

Old General Yang looked at Yang Xu who was sitting below lovingly. Xiao Xu was still young and had a bright future, so he had to leave a chance for Xiao Xu.

If the Holy Majesty was in his prime, Old General Yang might not be so worried. After all, the Holy Majesty has always been tolerant of his loyal subjects.

But once the Holy Majesty establishes the crown prince, or the new emperor ascends the throne, who knows what kind of heart the new emperor will have and what attitude he will have towards the Yang family, so Old General Yang cannot hand Yang Xu and the future of the entire Yang family into the hands of the new emperor.

Seeing the sincerity of Old General Yang's cooperation, Yin Wuyan took another step back, "Actually, it's okay not to expose Qiu Jinyu's identity as a barbarian spy, as long as we act like this..."

Yin Wuyan, Old General Yang, and Yang Shoucheng were still discussing more specific and detailed cooperation. Yang Xu didn't want to listen, so he walked out and looked at the thick snow on the ground. When he realized it, he had already walked to the study.

"Why are you here?" Zhan Feiyu just put down his pen, smiled and looked at Yang Xu who was led in by He Nuan.

Gu Qingzhou and Qiu Zongxi left a quarter of an hour ago, and the half-hour lecture was over, and Zhan Feiyu had to figure out the rest by himself, and the two went to play chess.

"Little fish, your hand?" Yang Xu walked over, looking worriedly at Zhan Feiyu's left hand.

Even though a thick layer of ointment has been applied, it can still be seen that the palm of the hand has not subsided, and even the fingers are a little red and swollen, which is enough to know how hard Gu Qingzhou was hit by the ten boards.

Raising his trotter-like left hand and shaking it, Zhan Feiyu smiled nonchalantly, "It still hurts a bit, but I can bear it. Didn't you notice that there is an extra charcoal basin in the study. The teacher is afraid that I will be cold, and my hand will hurt even more. Ask Ah Nuan to order an extra charcoal basin."

The two moved to the charcoal basin and sat down. Zhan Feiyu took the copper sign and dialed the charcoal to make the fire more intense. He put his hands on the fire and said, "Longyou Road is too cold. I was at home before. Although it is cold in winter, there is a charcoal basin in the house to keep you warm."

The winter in the south of the Yangtze River is humid and cold, but the temperature is high. It will freeze outside in the coldest three or nine days, and it will be about ten days at most.

But Longyou Road is different. There is no charcoal basin in the house, and a glass of water can freeze after a while. Zhan Feiyu is afraid of the cold, and when he sits down for a whole day while studying, his hands and feet are cold. Yes, it's so cold that I can't hold a pen to write with my hands.

Yang Xu has long been used to the coldness of Longyou Dao, plus he practiced martial arts, so he didn't feel too cold when he stayed in the house. Looking at Zhan Feiyu wrapped up like a bear, he wished he could plant his head into a charcoal basin It was hard for Yang Xu to imagine that a delicate girl like her dared to risk her life to get out of the barbarian army, and then go to Aozikou to save herself.

Just like what Yang Xu said before, he doesn't care what Qiu Jinyu's purpose is, whether he is eager for quick success or he really values ​​love and righteousness, if he can go to Aozikou, Yang Xu will record this kindness.

Of course, Qiu Jinyu's identity as a barbarian spy took revenge, and Yang Xu naturally changed his mind.

"Xiaoyu, when did you find out that Qiu Da...Qiu Jinyu's identity is questionable?" Yang Xu asked in a low voice. After all the incidents, Yang Xu felt more and more incompetent, just a drag and a burden.

Looking up at the dejected Yang Xu, Zhan Feiyu said: "Your status is special, so the people who approach you basically have ulterior motives. He saved you on the official road for the first time. The situation was chaotic at that time, and all of them died. Eight scoundrels, the timing of his appearance is too coincidental."

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!Zhan Feiyu is also a "villain's heart". Later, she asked He Sheng to take people to check the bodies of the eight rascals. They died at the hands of the guards of the town's Marquis Mansion, and the two guards also obeyed orders. .

"When He Sheng checked the wounds, he found that the wounds of seven of them were smooth, all of them died from sharp swords, and the depth of the wounds was also in line with the sword of the guards of the Marquis Mansion near the town, but only one of the wounds was abnormal, although it was also a sword wound. , but according to the depth of the wound, it is speculated that the blade of this sword should be a little thicker, and there is no smell of sword oil at the wound."

Yang Xu was stunned when he heard this. He never knew about it, and he never thought of asking someone to investigate. After the eight hooligans died that day, they were instigated by caring people, and their families even carried the bodies to the Qiu Mansion.

This is to give Yang Xu a bad name for killing innocent people indiscriminately and disregarding human lives. In the end, it was Zhan Feiyu who threw money with pride, which settled the matter.

After all, these hooligans are also a scourge in the family. Now that they are dead, the families are not talking about celebrating each other, but they are actually happy in their hearts.

Moreover, Zhan Feiyu was also generous, giving dozens of taels of silver as he asked, and the eight families took the money and immediately carried the body back for burial, which fully verified the sentence: Anything that can be solved with money is not a problem.

When it comes to the sword oil for raising swords, Yang Xu knows, "Every warrior will maintain his own sword, and the weather in Longyou Road is cold, so the oil used to wipe the sword body is also specially made, which is different from other places.

Qianzhong Road is humid and often rains. If it is not maintained frequently, the sword may rust, so the oil used by the warriors of Qianzhong Road must be different from that used by the guards of the Marquis' Mansion in the town, and the smell is also different.

Of course, if he hadn't been as careful as dust, he might not have discovered such a clue.

Recalling the scene when he saw Qiu Jinyu that day, at that time, Yang Xu finally understood what a gentleman is, gentle and elegant like jade, Qiu Jinyu's erudition, his self-cultivation, his chivalry to help when he sees injustice. , It's just a trap to lure yourself into the bait.

"The scars of the eighth corpse are the same as those of the previous ones at first glance, but the wounds caused by different weapons are different. This similarity is more like trying to hide it." Zhan Feiyu suspected Qiu Jinyu from the beginning, and checked the corpse Afterwards, the suspicion deepened.

It's just that Qianzhong Road is far away. Even with the help of the Forbidden Dragon Guards to investigate, it is impossible to get results for a while. After that, Qiu Jinyu has always behaved very decently. Release Yang Xu.

Zhan Feiyu felt more and more that something was wrong. The 14-year-old boy was also a junior, even if he wasn't high-spirited, he wouldn't have such a good temper.

The grandeur was too much, and Zhan Feiyu felt that Qiu Jinyu was a bit hypocritical. If it was her, she would never put a hot face on a cold ass.

Looking at Yang Xu who was lost in thought, Zhan Feiyu said again: "The third bedroom and the Patriarch are at odds. They have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, and they must have done a lot of dirty things. Otherwise, Mr. Qiu wouldn't treat the third bedroom so badly and even vent his anger. When it comes to Qiu Jinyu, who grew up in an environment full of hatred, Yang Xu, don't you think Qiu Jinyu is too perfect?"

The most common thing is to be courteous for nothing, rape or steal, so even though the news from the Forbidden Dragon Guard was just speculation, Zhan Feiyu was sure that there was something wrong with Qiu Jinyu.

"So he has so many flaws, and I'm so stupid that I didn't notice it at all, and still call him brother?" Yang Xu laughed at himself, he was so stupid.

Zhan Feiyu grinned, and patted Yang Xu's shoulder sympathetically, "Actually, think about it the other way around, I have nothing to fear when I go to Aozikou to save you, and those who want to kill you dare not kill me, but Qiu Jinyu Well, isn't he afraid of death?"

If Qiu Jinyu was also afraid of death, how dare he risk his life to save Yang Xu?

Not to mention that they have only known each other for more than a month, even brothers may not be able to do this, so Qiu Jinyu may be the same as Zhan Feiyu, he is also confident and sure that he will not die.

"Zhu Xiao defected to the barbarians. If Qiu Jinyu was a barbarian spy, then he must have thought that Zhu Xiao would not kill him." Yang Xu's brain suddenly brightened.

Putting aside the so-called deep brotherhood and sharing life and death, this explanation is more reasonable.

Zhan Feiyu nodded, and silently shed tears of sympathy for the tragic death of Qiu Jinyu, "It's a pity that neither Manyi nor Qiu Jinyu knew that Zhu Xiao was just defecting in a fake way."

Zhu Xiao is brave and good at fighting. Although he is over half a hundred years old, he still leads troops to fight the enemy head-on. He didn't kill Yang Xu. On the one hand, he didn't want to worsen the relationship with the Yang family. On the other hand, he might disdain to fight. Yang Xu alone Brat, he's not qualified enough to let Zhu Xiao do it.

But Qiu Jinyu is a barbarian spy, Zhu Xiao solved this hidden danger smoothly, presumably the Holy Majesty will feel more at ease after knowing that Zhu Xiao is in the barbarians.

"Isn't he afraid that the barbarians will regret it and doubt it?" Yang Xu was taken aback. He hated the Zhenbianhou's mansion, but at this moment, he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

The barbarian revealed Qiu Jinyu's identity to Zhu Xiao, in order to let Zhu Xiao help Qiu Jinyu at a critical moment, and let him win Yang Xu's trust. Who knew that Zhu Xiao didn't follow the rules and killed him directly.

"Qiu Jinyu and ten of his entourage are dead. Among these people who know the truth, who will disclose the news to the barbarians?" Zhan Feiyu laughed. She even doubted that even if the news leaked out, Zhu Xiao would be able to justify himself.

The two hundred elites that Zhu Xiao brought to the barbarians were all his confidants, comrades who lived and died together on the battlefield and could be handed over to their backs, so there is no need to doubt their loyalty.

The rest were Zhan Feiyu and Yang Xu. Since they knew the truth about Zhu Xiao defecting to the barbarians, and Zhu Xiao had let them go, it was impossible for Zhan Feiyu and the others to avenge their kindness.

……

Before the three days were over, the news spread that Zhu Xiao, the son of Marquis Hou of the town, and Zhu Zhengrong, the eldest son, had defected to the barbarians, and the whole Longyou Daoist circle was full of uproar.

Zhenbian Hou, the rest of his sons and grandchildren were escorted to the capital. The former glory of the huge Hou Mansion was instantly annihilated, and even some people whose family members died under the barbarian butcher's knife poured feces and water on the house of the Hou Mansion. inside.

The old general Yang was wronged, the Yang family recovered and regained military power, and the county magistrate Zhu who escaped on New Year's Eve was also arrested.

Linzhou Prefecture.

"Teacher, can't you stay for a few more days?" Zhan Feiyu has lived two lifetimes. She is really not hypocritical, but seeing Gu Qingzhou who is about to leave now, reluctance wells up in her heart, and her voice is a little choked up.

Gu Qingzhou touched Zhan Feiyu's head, and laughed warmly, "You have been sent from Xiangwu County to Linzhou Mansion, and then you are going to go to the capital with Wei Shi."

"Big brother left in the afternoon on the first day of the lunar new year." Muttering softly, Zhan Feiyu opened the curtain of the carriage and looked at the bustling market, "Then leave after lunch."

"You must have a farewell to send you thousands of miles... Well, we will leave after dinner." Gu Qingzhou saw Zhan Feiyu's flat mouth, so he could only agree immediately.

Zhan Feiyu laughed instantly, and hummed at Gu Qingzhou, "Teacher, next time you hit me again, I will cry for you."

It took three whole days for her little paw to be sore and the swelling subsided. After the swelling subsided, there was a little bruise left on the palm, but it still hurt when she touched it.

Shaking his head with a smile, Gu Qingzhou didn't say anything more. After all, if the little girl wants to risk herself next time, He Sheng and the others won't agree.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the restaurant, and the eyes of the shopkeeper, who was about to doze off when he was idle, lit up for a moment, and he hurriedly got up to greet him, "Guest officers, please come inside, please come inside, Xiao Shuang, hurry up!" Serve tea, serve good tea!"

For the New Year's Eve, every household has prepared sumptuous meals. As long as relatives and friends come to the house for New Year's greetings, they must be served with good wine and good food, so there are really no customers in the restaurant.

If it weren't for some people who were stranded in Linzhou Prefecture due to the heavy snow and needed accommodation and food, the shopkeeper would also like to close the shop and go home for a good year.

Although Gu Qingzhou came to Longyou Road in light clothes, besides the coachman, the guards also brought five people, plus He Sheng and the others, almost ten people opened two tables, after all, there are differences between masters and servants.

"This is the chef's specialty dish, Hua Diao Drunken Chicken, and the guests can use it slowly." The shop waiter lifted the lid of the casserole, and the rich aroma came out.

Zhan Feiyu's eyes lit up, and he knew that the shop assistant was not exaggerating just by looking at it. In the casserole, you can see various precious medicinal materials such as ginseng, astragalus, hawthorn, and jiao sanxian. This is definitely a delicacy made with slow work.

"It is said that this dish is: there is a heroism in the spiciness, and there is a gentleness hidden in the numbness." Zhan Feiyu picked up the serving chopsticks and wanted to hold a piece for Gu Qingzhou first.

"Wait!" Suddenly, a stop sounded at the door of the box.

Zhan Feiyu was stunned, and put down the chopsticks he had just raised. Looking back, she was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl in a turquoise skirt, pointing at Zhan Feiyu, who was wearing a jade bracelet on her right wrist. , I guess it is the big maid of some family.

"Miss Qing?" The shop clerk called out respectfully, but was a little puzzled, "But what's wrong?"

"Since the cook made this Huadiao Drunken Chicken, why didn't you send it to my lady? Have you fed all the money you usually give to the dogs?"

Angry reprimands sounded, Miss Qing was very aggressive, she was obviously a girl who had never reached the level of Ji, but this aggressive and domineering posture, at first glance, looked more like those country women.

The shop waiter didn't dare to answer the scolded blood sprayer, but just explained, "Miss Qing, this dish is slowly stewed with high-quality Huadiao wine with alternating civil and military fires. There is wine in the dish."

Huadiao wine has the effect of invigorating blood and promoting qi, plus all kinds of precious medicinal materials in it, this dish not only tastes great, but also a rare tonic, but it is not suitable for children to eat.

"Blind your dog's eyes, that dead girl can eat, can't my lady eat it?" Miss Qing was so angry that she kicked the waiter's leg unceremoniously, "If you don't bring me the food, You have neglected my lady, I think you don't want to open this restaurant!"

Even if there are ginseng and Huadiao wine in the dish, it can be regarded as a dish that greatly invigorates the vitality. In fact, it is not harmful to eat a small amount.

But the waiter in the shop remembered that the drunken duck dish was because the most authentic white knife in Linzhou Prefecture was put in it. In the end, the food was smashed, not to mention, from the shopkeeper to the waiter who served the food, and the cook in the kitchen. Miss Qing He scolded severely.

After all, her young lady is only 12 years old after the new year, and she is taking tonic prescriptions prescribed by famous doctors, so she is not allowed to drink alcohol, even if there is alcohol in the dishes.

Miss can't eat it, can't I eat it myself?
Smelling the alluring fragrance, Miss Qing was even more annoyed. Fortunately, she came in time, and the old and the young had not had time to move their chopsticks. Otherwise, how could she eat the dishes that were picked up by these untouchables?

In normal times, Zhan Feiyu would definitely teach this maid to be a good person, but this time she has to cherish the time she spends with the teacher, so she yelled, "Ah Nuan, come out."

He Sheng and the others opened another table to eat in the Yage next door. Miss Qing yelled at the door, and He Nuan and the others immediately put down their chopsticks.

After hearing Zhan Feiyu's order, He Nuan unceremoniously stepped forward and dragged him away. When Miss Qing was about to yell, she squeezed her wrist hard, and Miss Qing was suddenly speechless in pain up.

The waiter in the store was dumbfounded, Miss Qing kicked the iron plate this time, "You two guest officers take it easy."

After finishing speaking, the shop waiter thoughtfully closed the door of the Accord, unable to tell that the girl just now was still a practicing family.

"Teacher, look how clever and easy I am." Zhan Feiyu hummed proudly.

As the only disciple of the great scholar of the current dynasty, I could have been domineering and domineering, but what happened?But he himself is so well-behaved and sensible, he doesn't cause trouble to the teacher at all, tsk tsk, thinking about it, Zhan Feiyu feels proud.

Gu Qingzhou was amused by her thick-skinned appearance, "Compared with you, those dudes are nothing."

Those dudes in Beijing are at most ignorant, cockfighting and running dogs, and some ineffective bullies. When troubles arise, the elders in the family have to come forward to settle them down. The old face went to apologize.

But in the end, it's all trivial things, what about Zhan Feiyu?She is well-behaved on weekdays, but when she causes trouble, it is something that can be discussed in the court.

Looking at Zhan Feiyu who was still pouting and still not convinced, Gu Qingzhou picked up a piece of drunkenness with his chopsticks, and said slowly: "The Chen family in Zhongzhou Prefecture?"

Uh... Thinking of the enmity with Chen Xuezheng, the eldest prince's nephew, Zhan Feiyu laughed awkwardly, and forgot about it.

The chicken is soaked in Huadiao wine. Under the high temperature, most of the wine smell is evaporated, and a small part is absorbed by the chicken. It is tender and juicy after one bite, with the unique fragrance of Huadiao wine. It was a delicacy, and Zhan Feiyu squinted his eyes.

"Huai'an Mansion." Although Gu Qingzhou did not directly name the imperial merchant Liu's family, the feud was settled, and he was able to get 20 taels from the Liu family and hand it over to Deng Zhiwu to take away.

Moreover, he also transferred the tea mountain under Liu Hefeng's name to his own. As for the remaining 25 taels of silver, Zhan Feiyu took out 10 taels and put it in Liu's winery, and the remaining 15 taels were exchanged for the capital city. industry.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows, and he admired Zhan Feiyu's ability to make money. How many people can't earn 10 taels of silver in a lifetime, and the little girl is not a Wenqu star. She is probably the reincarnation of the God of Wealth. It's hundreds of thousands of silver. In a few years, the teacher Gu Qingzhou is probably not as rich as her.

Zhan Feiyu, who has been "a lot of evil deeds", will not be able to laugh now. He sat up straight and forcibly cleared himself up. "But I didn't cause trouble in Qianzhong Road!"

"If the barbarians know the truth about Qiu Jinyu's murder, do you think you can still survive?" Gu Qingzhou unceremoniously exposed Zhan Feiyu's self-deception.

Although it is now rumored that Qiu Jinyu died in Aozikou, as for who killed him, in the middle of the night, there was another scuffle in Aozikou, and God knows who killed it.

The corpses in Aozikou were later collected by Dou Qianhu with soldiers from the guard. There were 78 corpses and a large number of swords, which is enough to know how fierce and dangerous the battle was at that time.

After the corpse was carried away, many people went to Aozikou to check. There was no corpse, but the bloodstains were still there. Some people kicked out a severed hand in the snowdrift, which almost scared people in broad daylight. peed.

The old background was exposed, Zhan Feiyu laughed dryly, picked up the chopsticks and started to eat, the teacher is too ruthless.

Pushing Qiu Jinyu's death to those who intercepted and killed Yang Xu is indeed the best way to deal with it. Zhu Xiao, who is far away from the barbarians, does not need to face the barbarians' suspicions.

Similarly, Zhan Feiyu and Yang Xu also saved trouble.

The key is that the news has not been leaked out, and the Forbidden Dragon Guard can continue to monitor the third house of the Qiu family. Maybe they can follow the clues to find out other spies lurking in the Daqing Dynasty. It can be said to kill three birds with one stone.

The master and the apprentice chatted while eating, as for the aristocratic family's emphasis on not talking when eating or sleeping, that is where it is cool and where to stay.

"It depends on the owner to beat a dog. Is there no law in Linzhou Mansion?" The voice was slightly sharp, which belonged to the unique voice of a little girl.

However, He Sheng and the others were guarding the gate of the Yage, and both the master and the apprentice didn't bother to pay attention. After all, after eating this meal, Gu Qingzhou was about to leave for the capital, and Zhan Feiyu returned to Xiangwu County. The snow has melted, and Zhan Feiyu has to continue his study tour.

"Miss, is that bitch hurting me?" Just now, she bossed the waiter in the shop, but now, Miss Qing is showing a delicate and aggrieved look, and she even exposed her wrist, and there is a bruise on her wrist. He Nuan did not keep the fingerprints.

The maid who is close to her body represents the face of her young lady to a certain extent. Her maid was beaten, which is equivalent to slapping her in the face. Small.

In addition to the maids and mother-in-law standing beside her, as well as the servants and guards standing a little far away, there are more than ten people in front and back.

This didn't include last night's vigil and the guards who were still resting this time. Qiu Jingyuan took a total of more than 30 people with her on this trip.

"Jingyuan, you have a noble status. Let my aunt handle this matter." The woman who finished speaking was also dressed gracefully and luxuriously, with a full set of gilt hair and face, not only wearing jade bracelets on her hands, but also sapphire inlaid rings on her fingers. Gold ring, if this outfit is converted into silver, it is estimated that it will be enough for ordinary farmers to eat and drink for ten years.

Qiu Jingyuan, who was self-reliant, really didn't want to talk to a few villains and belittled her own worth. She was also very angry just now, but when her aunt spoke up, Qiu Jingyuan still nodded her head in the same superior posture.

Although the Qian family came from the merchant Qian's family, she managed the big and small businesses of the Qian family in secret, and the men of the Qian family just acted as a face.

It is precisely because Qian's seniority is considered high, plus he is a shrewd person, and his business methods have been endless for many years, so after the third house of the Qiu family received the news of Qiu Jinyu's death, the third house in Qianzhong Road had no way to rush over immediately. I thought of Qian Shi.

It just so happened that Qiu Jingyuan, a delicate girl, ran away from home and celebrated the new year at Qian's house, so a group of people rushed over immediately. Although the snow on the official road had not yet melted, they were close, and arrived at Linzhou Mansion at noon yesterday.

He Nuan and He Sheng were still standing at the door of the Accord. The siblings looked calm, but this calmness made people irritated. They jumped and scolded people angrily, but at the same time, nothing happened. people pay attention to.

"This girl, even if Qinghong's words are inappropriate, she should be punished by our master. A girl beats someone without saying a word. There are no such rules in aristocratic families." There was a smile on her face when she was talking, like the kindest woman, but if you could ignore the shrewdness and calculation in her eyes, she would look more like her.

He Nuan and He Sheng's attire was a little worse than those of the Qiu family's maids. At least Qing Hong also wore a pair of silver hairpins on her head and pearl pendants on her ears, but He Nuanzhi used a hair band to hold her hair in place. , I also brought earrings, but they were only mung bean-sized pearls.

The fabric of the clothes looked a bit poor, Qinghong's jacket was not only thick, but also bordered with silver thread, and the hem was exquisitely embroidered, this jacket probably cost four or five taels of silver.

Respecting Luo Chang first and then respecting others, with He Nuan's plain attire, Qian's attitude is naturally much more contemptuous, and he deliberately brought out the aristocratic family, implying that their group has a lot of background.

He Nuan glanced lightly at Qian, but she was stingy and didn't even say a word, she still guarded the door with He Sheng, this Chi Guoguo's contemptuous gesture was enough to drive people to death.

After all, Mrs. Qian is also a person who has worked hard in the business field. Although she is angry in her heart, she doesn't show it on her face. Today, I will teach you the rules of dealing with people on my behalf."

As Qian's voice fell, two guards stepped forward and stared at He Sheng covetously, while two women and another 30-year-old woman walked towards He Nuan.

This woman is not dressed as a woman, judging from her walking posture and posture, it is clear that she is also a practitioner.

But it's right to think about it. Qian's family's business is always going to go out. If it's a men's nursing home, it will inevitably be inconvenient. That's why she spent money to hire a female nursing home. .

"Brother, don't disturb the young lady's meal." He Nuan said something, and at the same time as the Nursing House made a move, the figure flashed away but avoided it.

But before everyone could react, a sharp voice sounded, "Let me go!"

He Nuan restrained Qiu Jingyuan with one hand, feeling that she was making a fuss, so with a movement of his left hand, a sharp knife was placed on her neck.

Immediately, Qiu Jingyuan became quiet, and the rest of the Qiu family were also silent, and no one dared to act rashly. The dagger was extremely sharp at first glance, and if it cut off the blood vessels in the neck, Immortal Da Luo would not be able to save it.

Qian's complexion changed drastically. Although she was always calm and composed, she panicked at this moment, "Don't act recklessly, if you fall into a nobleman, let alone you, even your young lady can't afford it!"

"Shut up, who will say one more word!" He Nuan's voice was indifferent, and his cold eyes glanced at the audience warningly. The threat was self-evident.

Well, no one really dared to speak this time.

Qiu Jingyuan, who was kidnapped, was even more frightened and her legs trembled. No matter how arrogant and domineering she was, she even dared to run away from the Qiu family, but after all, she was only a 12-year-old girl.

In Qianzhong Road before, because of her surname Qiu, those people held her up and flattered her, so her temper naturally grew, but who knew that he met such a ruthless person as He Nuan who would use a knife if he disagreed with him.

In the Accord, there was no movement outside, and Zhan Feiyu didn't need to think about it to know that He Nuan had captured the thief first, so he couldn't help saying, "Teacher, have you noticed that something is wrong with Ah Nuan these days?"

He Nuan is usually gentle and gentle, but Zhan Feiyu has clearly felt that He Nuan has changed in the past few days. In the past, when he practiced boxing in the morning, Ah Nuan was always by his side, and when he was studying, he sat in the study Sewing and mending.

But now, as long as there is no need to take care of Zhan Feiyu, He Nuan goes to practice martial arts, and every move is ruthless.

"With a careless master like you, He Nuan will be forced by you no matter what changes happen." Gu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows, and looked at Zhan Feiyu like the culprit. This time, the little girl put herself in danger. , The brothers and sisters of the He family are extremely guilty and guilty. Although nothing happened, what if something happened?

Is it my fault again?Zhan Feiyu puffed up his cheeks, and said quietly: "Teacher, shouldn't you be helping your relatives?"

"The face is as thick as a city wall." Gu Qingzhou shook his head with a smile. This meeting has almost eaten. If you don't hurry, you may not be able to reach the post at night. Sleeping in the wild in this weather, even Lian Jiazi can't carry it live.

The door of the Accord opened from the inside with a creak, and the people standing outside all turned their heads to look over. After all, Qiu Jingyuan was still being detained by He Nuan, with a dagger around her neck, so they didn't dare to act rashly.

"This master." Waiting anxiously, Qian hurried forward. Gu Qingzhou looked like a scholar, which made Qian's heart skip a beat. Fortunately, the Qiu family is not young, so he was not worried.

"My lord, we met by chance. Even if there is a little conflict in words, the maids of the precious mansion are too domineering. Not to mention the high status of my family's juniors, even if they are ordinary people, the maids of your mansion will be sent to prison for acting like this!" Qian ordered again. Knowing Qiu Jingyuan's identity, if it wasn't for worrying that He Nuan would hurt Qiu Jingyuan, the Qian family would have ordered He Nuan to be taken down a long time ago, how could he be so humble and small.

Zhan Feiyu looked at He Nuan, who was holding the hostage, and felt that Ah Nuan was showing signs of blackening, "A Nuan, I will send the teacher out first."

If this person is released, there will probably be a lot of trouble. In order not to delay Gu Qingzhou's time, Zhan Feiyu glanced at Qiu Jingyuan apologetically.

The girl Xiaoyu also said that she is well-behaved and trouble-free. In Gu Qingzhou's view, she is simply the ancestor of troublemakers.

Mrs. Qian was dumbfounded, how could she have imagined that this cute little girl would act like this, but Qiu Jingyuan was still in He Nuan's hands, no matter how annoyed Mrs. Qian was, she could only hold back, watching Zhan Feiyu and Gu Qingzhou helplessly. Walked towards the stairs.

But at this moment, a guard got a hint from Qian's eyes, and suddenly launched an attack. Naturally, the purpose was to turn his back on Zhan Feiyu who had left.

Not to mention that the five guards behind Gu Qingzhou are all first-class masters, and one of them is the imperial guard bestowed by the Holy Spirit back then. He Sheng is still there, and Xiaoxiao's generation can sneak attack Zhan Feiyu.

Bang!Everyone only felt a figure flash in front of their eyes, and the guard who was attacking was kicked out by He Sheng, and hit the antique shelf by the wall, with a crackling sound, and the porcelain placed on it was broken a little bit.

The shopkeeper and the waiter, who were huddled in the corner, looked heartbroken, but neither of them dared to step forward. These are ruthless characters who would draw their swords at the slightest disagreement, so they can't be provoked.

Zhan Feiyu didn't even pause, and went downstairs with Gu Qingzhou to the backyard where the carriage was parked.

"Okay, after three years, you will come to the capital after passing the provincial examination." Gu Qingzhou smiled and touched Zhan Feiyu's head. The reason why he set the time after three years is also the result of the previous discussions between Gu Qingzhou and Yin Wuyan .

In the past, one of the two was a cabinet scholar, and the other was the commander of the Forbidden Dragon Guard who made the courtiers talk about it. The two can be said to be high-ranking, but neither Gu Qingzhou nor Yin Wuyan has any desire for power and status, so they It takes three years to operate.

When Zhan Feiyu went to the capital three years later, even the princes in the palace would not dare to bully her. Besides, no matter which prince the sage appointed as the crown prince, they would be able to protect Zhan Feiyu.

Nodding obediently, he watched Gu Qingzhou get into the carriage, and the guards also got on their horses, Zhan Feiyu stepped aside even though he was reluctant.

In the carriage, Gu Qingzhou put down the curtain, he was worried that this girl would continue to send her down, she would really be sent to the capital, "Go back, don't forget that He Nuan is still in the restaurant."

Zhan Feiyu bowed solemnly to the carriage, "Teacher, have a good journey, disciple farewell."

The sound of horseshoes sounded, and a carriage and five horses gradually disappeared from sight. Zhan Feiyu stared for a long time, suppressing his reluctance, "Ah Sheng, let's go back and save Ah Nuan."

"Yes." He Sheng complied, and the young lady could still joke, so it wouldn't be so uncomfortable after all.

Restaurant, on the second floor, before Zhan Feiyu went upstairs, he heard sharp and piercing yelling, "You dare to commit murder in Linzhou Mansion, I think you have eaten the heart of a bear, and you still don't let Miss Qiu go, Are you deaf?"

In contrast to Qian Shi who was restless but still restrained his emotions, the lady who was scolding seemed a bit aggressive, but she was only accompanied by her mother-in-law and maids, and the chauffeur and entourage were all downstairs, so the lady could only show off her tongue strong.

Like an old monk sitting in meditation, the sharp knife in He Nuan's hand was still firmly placed on Qiu Jingyuan's neck.

"Mrs. Zhang, the master of the servant girl is back." Seeing Zhan Feiyu, Qian quickly interrupted the scolding Mrs. Zhang, but a look of disdain flashed in her eyes. This is still the official wife, just this shrew Fortunately, it was a good reincarnation.

"I'd like to see which little slut raises a scumbag who dares to commit crimes under my lady's nose!" Madam Zhang turned around and was still stunned when she looked at Zhan Feiyu, who was stumpy and wrapped in a bear. After a while, I probably didn't expect it to be a little girl younger than Qiu Jingyuan.

Seeing the unfamiliar face, Mrs. Zhang snorted coldly, and said with her chin raised: "Which family are you from, and who are your parents? You dare to be so lawless with a maidservant. Today, Mrs. Ben must teach me Be disciplined, let him go quickly!"

Linzhou Mansion is the site of the Zhang family, and although the head of the Zhang family is still Mr. Zhang, the magistrate of the fourth rank, but Zhang Minxian is the next heir, and he is also the acquaintance of the Linzhou mansion. In the circle of officials and wives, that is the one who says nothing.

As for the magistrate of Linzhou Prefecture, it is Zhang Minhua's father-in-law Mr. Zhou, and the two are relatives by marriage. Zhang Minhua's mother-in-law stayed in the neighboring Shanzhou, so Mrs. Zhang dared to be so domineering only because she was the same magistrate.

Zhan Feiyu has a new face again, this delicate appearance, presumably she is a girl from some small family, as long as there is a bit of status, the family members will bring their children to visit Mrs. Zhang.

Although Mrs. Zhang looks at people with her nostrils upturned, her memory is excellent, and people who have met her once will never forget it.

When Mrs. Zhang was in her boudoir, she relied on this memory to win the title of a talented woman, so she was the daughter of a general, but she successfully married Zhang Minxian.

It was also after marriage that she gave birth to the eldest son and grandson of the Zhang family. Only then did Mrs. Zhang show her true colors. She is a fool if she is a talented woman or knowledgeable.

The poems she wrote before were all made by the female wife at home. She only needs to memorize them, and then memorize some of the Four Books and Five Classics. Got the head.

"Ah Nuan, let him go." When Zhan Feiyu spoke, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but feel complacent.

As soon as she was free, Qiu Jingyuan touched her neck subconsciously. The feeling of the sharp blade on her neck seemed to be still there. At the age of 12, Qiu Jingyuan had never suffered such a big loss.

"Jingyuan, are you okay? I'm worried about my aunt." Qian hugged Qiu Jingyuan distressedly, and finally let go of her hanging heart. If something happened under her nose, Qiu The family still didn't eat her alive, especially since Qiu Jinyu died tragically, and Jingyuan was the only child of the third room.

She pushed Qian away in disgust. The force was so great that the unsuspecting Qian was pushed staggeringly. Fortunately, even if her maid gave her a hand, Qian didn't fall into a squatting position.

"You guys dare to do anything to me?" A shrill shout sounded, Qiu Jingyuan was obviously a beautiful little girl with pink makeup, but she twisted her face because of anger, staring at Zhan with cannibalistic eyes. Feiyu and He Nuan, "Catch these two sluts and beat them to death on the spot!"

Qiu Jingyuan gave an order, and several guards immediately rushed towards the two of them viciously. They have done such things in Qianzhong Road in recent years. Of course, those who are usually killed are servants, and their deaths are in vain. , who would dare to go to the Qiu family to seek justice.

Although Zhan Feiyu was the master this time, they took Qiu Jingyuan hostage first, so don't blame them for being rude!
"Niece Xian, you can vent your anger. Auntie will take care of you if something goes wrong." Mrs. Zhang echoed, if she got involved with the Qiu family, would the old hag in the family still dare to hold on to her?
Mr. Zhang is a fourth-rank magistrate, but he works in Suzhou Prefecture in the southernmost part of Longyou Road, and Linzhou Prefecture is the territory of the Zhang family, and Zhang Minxian is there. Moreover, Zhou Zhifu and the Zhang family are related by marriage. Min Xian is naturally taking care of all kinds of things. Once the prefect of Zhou retires, Zhang Minxian must take over the post of prefect.

What Mrs. Zhang is most dissatisfied with is that her mother-in-law is taking care of the middle class of the Zhang family. No matter how aggressive and domineering her daughter-in-law is, after all, she is a generation lower in status. This resentment has been suppressed for almost 20 years. Get in touch with the Qiu family, and then let her mother-in-law go down and be the master of the house.

Although Qiu Jingyuan and Mrs. Zhang met for the first time, they seemed to hit it off right away. The guards waited to see the tragic death of Zhan Feiyu and He Nuan after they attacked.

Too bad it backfired!

There were several bang bangs, accompanied by the screams of the guards in pain, the guards of the Qiu Mansion were beaten up one by one, their noses and faces swollen, and they fell to the ground in pain and couldn't get up.

Zhan Feiyu, who was standing aside, blinked, and looked at He Sheng and He Nuan with surprised eyes. Why does it feel that Ah Sheng has also changed, becoming as cruel as Ah Nuan?

In the past, He Sheng and the others used small punishments and big warnings, just kicking people out and making them lose their mobility, but just now, Zhan Feiyu saw clearly that He Sheng and He Nuan were punching to the flesh. Zhan Feiyu, who was listening to the muffled voice, felt pain.

"You guys are against the sky, and you dare to do it!" Mrs. Zhang is like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, her angry voice is sharp, and she looks at Zhan Feiyu and the three of them angrily, "If you arrest them without your hands, can I forgive you?" You are a dog's life, otherwise don't blame Mrs. Ben for being rude!"

Zhan Feiyu rolled his eyes speechlessly, he would probably have been beaten to death if he was caught without a fight, "Go back."

"Don't leave!" Seeing that Zhan Feiyu had beaten someone and wanted to leave, Mrs. Zhang shouted angrily again, "Report to the officials immediately, and call all the arresters from the Yamen!"

The shopkeeper had a bitter face, but he also knew that Mrs. Zhang's temper had angered her, and could really make the police tear down the restaurant, so he could only rush out from the corner, "Yes, little one, I'll report to the police right now. "

Although the guards were beaten up, they didn't dare to hide for a while. They all endured the pain and got up and blocked the stairs, making it clear that they would not let Zhan Feiyu leave.

Seeing this, He Nuan sneered, and looked over with cold eyes, frightening the guards blocking the road to tremble, their legs kept trembling, lest He Nuan would beat them up again in a fit of anger.

"Miss?" He Nuan asked Zhan Feiyu.

"Okay, let's wait for the people from the government to come to save trouble." Zhan Feiyu didn't leave, and He Sheng moved a chair over here, and Zhan Feiyu sat down holding the hand stove.

There were patrolling yamen servants on the street, so the shopkeeper saw someone before he walked a few steps. No, when the four yamen servants heard that it was Mrs. Zhang's order, they pushed the shopkeeper away and rushed over.

"You..." The shopkeeper was pushed and staggered, and the four of them ran away before they could finish speaking.

The waiter at the side shop whispered: "Shopkeeper, shall we still go to the yamen? That's Lian's son, and the four servants also gave away heads when they went there."

There are ten guards on Miss Qiu's side, but in the end they won't be beaten up by two of them, and the four poor men are useless.

"Let's go to the yamen and say something." The shopkeeper was also cowardly, but he didn't dare to offend Madam Zhang, so he took the shop waiter and trotted to the government yamen to report to the official.

There were hurried footsteps downstairs, but before anyone arrived, there was already an angry shout, "Who dares to be rude to Mrs. Zhang!"

The four yamen servants ran upstairs, holding a big knife in their right hand, looking fierce, but they looked around, and finally rushed towards the guards of the Qiu Mansion, "Bold thugs, dare to commit crimes in Linzhou Mansion, don't you dare Catch him without a fight!"

It’s no wonder that the yamen servants will admit their mistakes. Zhan Feiyu is sitting in the corner. Although He Sheng and He Nuan are standing beside him, the faces of the two brothers and sisters are gentle and honest, let alone Zhan Feiyu’s age. murderer!

As for Qiu Jingyuan, she was standing with Mrs. Zhang, surrounded by maidservants, so the only people on the second floor who could be thugs were the guards with bruised noses and swollen faces.

"You're blind, you caught the wrong person!" Mrs. Zhang roared angrily, pointing to Zhan Feiyu, "Arrest this little bitch to Mrs. Ben, and her two scumbags!" .”

Uh... The four yamen servants stopped abruptly, turned around and looked at the smiling Zhan Feiyu, is this little girl a murderer?

"What are you doing just standing there, do it!" Mrs. Zhang found out that these yamen servants were too stupid for the first time, and cursed angrily, "Do they all want to take off their clothes and go back to the countryside to farm?"

The four yamen servants who were intimidated trembled, not to mention that Zhan Feiyu was a little girl, even if she was a ghost or not, they would arrest her at Madam Zhang's order!
As the shop waiter said before, these four yamen servants came to deliver the heads, and they were cleaned up by He Sheng as soon as they rushed over. One pair of four, the beating was a clean one.

"They're all trash!" Looking at the yamen servant who fell at her feet, Mrs. Zhang got angry and kicked him.

Well, the four yamen servants who were lying on the ground and couldn't move would believe that Zhan Feiyu was the murderer, and the attack was too ruthless. It was too unkind to hurt them when it was Chinese New Year.

According to the old saying of Linzhou Mansion, he was beaten at the beginning of the new year, and it is estimated that the next whole year will not be smooth, maybe he will be beaten every now and then.

After a quarter of an hour.

Mrs. Zhang, who was about to vomit blood, felt a little better when she saw the arresters who came with the shopkeeper, but she was still unhappy and her attitude was also bad. Delay, want to murder Mrs. Ben? If this is waiting to be saved, the corpse will probably be cold."

Jiang Butou was a strong man in his forties, tall and burly, with a beard on his face, and his voice was even louder, "Forgive me, Madam, after the shopkeeper came to the Yamen to report to the official, the subordinates rushed over immediately with people. "

"Hmph! It's just that I don't take my wife seriously because of my military achievements." Mrs. Zhang said coldly. She is the daughter of a general. She planned to transfer her natal nephew to Linzhou Prefecture as a head arrester, but it was a pity. The man surnamed Jiang was defiant, and dared to dominate the position of head arrester.

Mrs. Zhang wanted to use some tricks, but who would have thought that Jiang Tutou's daughter-in-law was Mrs. Zhang's natal niece. Although she was out of the fifth service and had no contact with her on weekdays, she was related after all.

Before Mrs. Zhang had time to act, she was beaten by Zhang Minxian. She was so angry that she raged for three days in a row, but she didn't dare to show her temper to her mother-in-law, so she always looked down on Jiang Butou.

It's a pity that she is a female family member, and the other party is the head catcher of the yamen. The two of them have nothing to do with each other. Besides, Zhang Minxian is in charge of the yamen's affairs. No matter how Mrs. Zhang expressly hints, those officials are also cunning, and they all pretend to be stupid. .

No matter what, Jiang Butou is also Mr. Zhang's cousin. They are stupid to attack Jiang Butou. That is not to slap Mr. Zhang in the face.

"My lord, the little lady, Mrs. Qian from the Shanzhou Prefecture, this matter is because of..." Mrs. Qian is indeed a shrewd person, and he explained the matter in a few words, and all the faults were put back on Zhan Feiyu's side. After all, who is it? Nuan's hand pinches Qinghong first, and then kidnaps Qiu Jingyuan.

"Jiang Shan, this is the daughter of Daoqiu's family in Qianzhong. She was injured by someone under your nose. How did you become a head catcher?" Mrs. Zhang arrogantly and unreasonably pushed the blame on Jiang catcher. Who asked him to be the head arrester and be responsible for the security of Linzhou Prefecture. If he is not responsible for this accident, who will be responsible?
Qianzhong Daoqiu's family?Zhan Feiyu, who had been watching the excitement, looked at Qiu Jingyuan in surprise. No wonder he was from the Qiu family with such a high profile. Is this a direct branch or a side branch?
Thinking of Qiu Jinyu who was killed, even if the news came back to the Qiu family, the people from the third room would not come here so quickly, let alone a delicate little girl, could it be that the Qiu family was a side branch of the Qianzhong Road?
But it's not right, if this is a side branch, the person who came to Xiangwu County to collect Qiu Jinyu's body should also be a male.

Ignoring Mrs. Zhang who was holding a chicken feather as an arrow, Jiang Butou first questioned the four yamen servants, knowing that they were all beaten by He Sheng, Jiang Butou knew it well.

Another glance at the bruised and swollen guards of Qiu's mansion, he probably wanted to bully others, but unfortunately, they encountered some difficulties and were finally dealt with.

Qiu Jingyuan has never suffered such a big loss. Even though she is just a 12-year-old girl, this domineering posture is comparable to that of Mrs. Zhang, "How can there be so many nonsense to ask, why don't you arrest them! Maybe it's a spy from the barbarians!"

"Yes, Jiang Shan, are you trying to cover up the barbarian spies? Or are you colluding with the barbarians?" Mrs. Zhang agreed, staring at Jiang Butou with vicious eyes, wishing to crucify him. The position of the head catcher is now vacant.

She is a majestic wife, she said she was right in Linzhou Mansion, and she boasted about Haikou when she returned to her mother's house. The position of the head arrester is not just a matter of her words.

So it's a small thing if things don't get done, the key is losing face, Mrs. Zhang can't swallow this bad breath, so whenever she gets the chance, she will target Jiang and arrest him, and she will never stop until he gets him down.

"My brother must have been killed by them. I order you to arrest him immediately and kill him!" Thinking of Qiu Jinyu's death, Qiu Jingyuan couldn't tell what she felt.

In the past, she was jealous or unwilling, so many times Qiu Jingyuan cursed Qiu Jinyu to die, so that her parents would love her even more.

It's a pity that the person really died, and Qiu Jingyuan felt uncomfortable.

Zhan Feiyu's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked frightened. This nonsense was so accurate, he could be a fortune teller.

Catcher Jiang naturally knew what happened on the night of December 29 in Xiangwu County, but Qiu Jinyu's death was indeed a pity, but everyone who knew had to say that heaven is jealous of talents.

The 14-year-old Xiao Sanyuan was born in Qianzhong Daoqiu's family, so what if he is a third-family member in the side branch, he has a well-established Kangzhuang Avenue, and he may become an official in the future.

However, when Qiu Jinyu's death was casually blamed on a little girl, Catcher Jiang looked at the domineering and unreasonable Qiu Jingyuan. This turned out to be the daughter of the Qiu family, and her upbringing was much worse.

Zhan Feiyu's side really didn't make sense. No matter what the reason for the conflict, He Nuan put a sharp knife on Qiu Jingyuan's neck. This was a big mistake, let alone Qiu Jingyuan's status.

Zhan Feiyu glanced at the aggressive Mrs. Zhang and Qiu Jingyuan, smiled at Jiang Butou and said, "Please trouble the official to go to the government office again, and tell Zhang Tongzhi that an old man from Xiangwu County is visiting."
