I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 336 Taking Hostages
Zhan Feiyu was almost laughed at by Qiu Jingyuan's "wealthy and powerful" statement, not to mention that she came from the Qiu family of an official family, even those merchants' families would not dare to say that they would exchange lives for money in public. It's true that the laws of the Qing Dynasty are beautiful.

The people around were furious. They were almost trampled to death by the crazy horse before. They thought it was because the horse was startled that the carriage lost control. Even if they were angry, they could understand.

But listening to Qiu Jingyuan's words, the people's anger was instantly ignited. Not only did she not repent, she didn't apologize, and she even dared to speak so boldly.

"Everyone is raised by their parents, so what if you have a few taels of stinky money? If you dare to harm my son, my mother will dare to fight you!" The speaking sister-in-law held the scared and crying little son in her arms. , the New Year's Eve was originally going to the market with his youngest son, but who would have thought that his son would be hit by a carriage.

"It's vicious to be young, but the old man wants to know how your parents taught you!" The dark-skinned old man scolded sharply with a livid face, "If you dare to ride a horse in the street, even if your parents come, the official will come to you!" You must give us an explanation!"

"Cunzheng is right, who the hell hasn't seen Yin Zi, it caused my daughter-in-law to sprain her ankle, if I hadn't seen you young, I wouldn't be able to beat you to death with one fist!" The young man who spoke waved his iron fist angrily. If he was a big man, he would really dare to rush up.

The angry people asked for explanations, especially those stall owners whose stalls were knocked down because of the chaos.

"You have to pay for my mutton soup. I cooked a big pot in the morning and cut ten catties of mutton into it. It's such a waste."

"And my steamed stuffed buns, I just sold a basket, and they all fell on the floor and couldn't be eaten."

Everyone looked at the aunt who was about to cry, and followed her eyes to see that it was indeed the case. The six-drawer steamer was stacked high, and it was unknown who knocked down the stove in the chaos.

The steamer fell to the ground, and the steaming steamed buns rolled to the ground. After being stepped on by the confused passers-by, the dozens of steamed buns that fell on the ground were either damaged by the trample, or were covered with mud and snow, making them inedible at all.

"Pay money! If you don't pay money, you are not allowed to leave!"

"Yes, someone's money didn't come from the strong wind!" Not to mention the food was ruined, the stall was overturned, and everything was broken. It would cost dozens or even hundreds of dollars to fix it.

Qiu Jingyuan trembled angrily after being condemned by all the people, she even looked down on Zhan Feiyu because of her status, let alone these untouchables.

Qinghong, the maid who supported her, looked at the angry people and shrank back in fear, "Miss, don't be angry, these people are just asking for money, just give them."

If you don’t give it, you can’t do it, even if the lady brings guards, these useless things will fall to the ground in a mess and can’t get up. Qinghong looked around, and there are almost hundreds of angry people. In a fight, they will only be beaten.

Giving money can quell public anger, Qiu Jingyuan doesn't care about the hundred taels of silver, but she can't swallow this bad breath!

The daughter of her dignified Qianzhong Taoist Qiu family was actually threatened by a group of untouchables. If this news was reported back to Qianzhong Taoist, everyone would laugh at her in private.

Of course, what made Qiu Jingyuan even more annoyed was Zhan Feiyu. She didn't need anything, and these untouchables were manipulated by her to target her.

Especially the little fat man's parents and relatives, who are constantly thanking Zhan Feiyu. If He Sheng didn't take action, the little fat man would probably have died under the horse's hooves.

In contrast, everyone was shouting and beating, and on the other hand, they were grateful, and even said the words of the little boy under the Bodhisattva's seat. This made Qiu Jingyuan very angry, and her shrill and piercing voice rang out angrily.

"You want these untouchables to force me to bow my head?" Qiu Jingyuan pointed angrily at the uncles and aunts who had just sued her, and laughed grinningly in extreme anger, "I'm not as good as you want today!"

Zhan Feiyu looked at Qiu Jingyuan with a crazy expression, what kind of trouble was she going to do?

Before Zhan Feiyu could figure it out, Qiu Jingyuan suddenly yelled angrily at the guard commander beside him, "Catch this black monkey!"

Before trying to cheat a meat skewer from the little fat man, Zhan Feiyu gave each child two skewers because of his wealth, and the little skinny monkey patted his chest proudly to promise Zhan Feiyu, who would dare to do it in the future? If he bullied her, he would beat her up for her.

It was also because the little skinny monkey was so courageous that he didn't want to crowd people to watch the excitement. In the end, he was arrested by the guard leader Xie Ping before he could react.

Qiu Jingyuan pointed at the little monkey that was strangled by the neck, and said triumphantly to Zhan Feiyu: "Don't you like meddling in other people's business? Now you kneel down and apologize to me, and I will let this dead child go, otherwise ..."

The meaning of threat is self-evident, ordinary people would never do such a thing, but Qiu Jingyuan is just a spoiled little girl, she only thought of making Zhan Feiyu beg her on her knees, so that Qiu Jingyuan's anger could dissipate.

The guards were not stupid, and they didn't care about pretending to be dead at this moment. They quickly got up from the ground and quickly protected Qiu Jingyuan in the middle. They didn't forget that He Nuan held Qiu Jingyuan hostage in the restaurant before. If this happens again , They really want to apologize with death.

Rao Zhan Feiyu wasn't surprised, but she was fooled by Qiu Jingyuan's coquettish manipulation. She knew that she was a scholar and cherished her reputation, so she purposely hijacked a child to humiliate herself.

Seeing that Zhan Feiyu was silent, Qiu Jingyuan became even more proud, her chin was raised high, her beautiful eyebrows and eyes were full of undisguised arrogance and self-satisfaction, "Are you deaf? As long as I give an order, this dead child's neck will be crushed." Cut it off, and you are the murderer!"

"Miss Qiu, back then Qiu Jinyu left the people of Xiangwu County alone and went to Aozikou in order to climb up to the General's Mansion, and ended up dying at the hands of the enemy. Looking at Miss Qiu's actions now, she is worthy of being a brother and sister. , the same cold-blooded same selfishness!"

The crisp voice was full of reprimands and contempt. Since Qiu Jingyuan dared to be so lawless, Zhan Feiyu took advantage of the situation to confirm the rumors and completely cut off the way of Sanfang to repay her kindness.

The people who were watching were already very angry, but when they heard Zhan Feiyu's words and knew that Qiu Jingyuan was Qiu Jinyu's younger sister, everyone's anger rose to the extreme in an instant.

"So it's that hypocrite's sister!"

"Some people say that the surname Qiu values ​​love and righteousness, I'm sorry!"

"No wonder I heard that Mr. Qiu doesn't want to see the third house of the Qiu family. There is no wind without waves. These three houses are really not good things, and they are all black."

"These people have no heart, they were all eaten by dogs!"

That day Xiangwu County was besieged by the barbarian army, the men went up to the city tower, and even the stronger women stood guard on the city tower with kitchen knives, because they all knew that once the city gate was breached, the barbarian army would drive straight in. People will die under the knife.

At such a critical juncture, Qiu Jinyu led people to Aozikou. No matter how the rumors released by the Qian family whitewashed the peace or how they gave Qiu Jinyu money, the people of Xiangwu County would not buy it.

And now looking at Qiu Jingyuan who threatened Zhan Feiyu with the little skinny monkey, if eyes could kill, Qiu Jingyuan would have been riddled with holes.

Hearing the scolding and contempt all around, Qiu Jingyuan, who was proud and arrogant, became angry, and cursed in a sharp voice, "Shut up, all of you! Shut up, whoever dares to talk nonsense, I will let him die without a burial!" place!"

"Zhan Feiyu, will you hide behind these untouchables?" Qiu Jingyuan stared at Zhan Feiyu angrily, "Why don't you kneel down and beg for mercy? As long as you kneel down, this little brat will be saved !"

Worried that the chips were not enough, Qiu Jingyuan asked Qinghong to take out the purse containing the silver. In addition to some broken silver, there were also two 100 taels of silver bills in it.

"Keep your dog eyes open to see clearly. I have 200 taels here. As long as Zhan Feiyu kowtows to make amends, I will immediately pay you the money. You can't earn so much money in a year!"

Although many passers-by were hurt by falls and several small stalls were knocked over, in reality, there is not much money. No matter how good the business is, a small stall can earn two to three hundred yuan a day at most, Qiu Jingyuan There is definitely a lot of money out.

"Riding a horse in a downtown area is a misdemeanor, but kidnapping a child is a major crime. Miss Qiu, if you let him go, you can get a lighter punishment. Otherwise, even if your father is here, he won't be able to save you." Zhan Feiyu's face was calm, The delicate and calm appearance was in stark contrast to the ferocious Qiu Jingyuan.

Seeing that Qiu Jingyuan was about to speak, Zhan Feiyu interrupted her first, "You don't have to threaten me with a child, I will leave my words here today, if you dare to do something, I will do it, life for life , I don’t know if you dare to bet, Ms. Qiu?”

After Zhan Feiyu finished speaking, He Sheng took a few steps forward.

He still looked ordinary, but if He Sheng could rescue the little fat man from under the horse's hoof, he would be able to take Qiu Jingyuan's head under the protection of the guards.

"You dare to kill me?" Qiu Jingyuan was almost mad with anger. She was the daughter of the Qiu family, and she had a high status. What kind of person was Zhan Feiyu? She dared to kill herself!Dare to kill yourself for a stinky child!

"You dare to kill and let the guards take the blame. Ms. Qiu thinks I don't dare? Or maybe Ms. Qiu thinks my teacher is no better than your father?" With a sneer, Zhan Feiyu looked at Qiu Jingyuan who was stunned contemptuously. Isn't it because of someone else's background? bigger.

If the little thin monkey really died in the hands of Xie Ping, it goes without saying that he must go to the Yamen to take the blame, and Qiu Jingyuan will definitely shove it all away. By the same token, if He Sheng killed Qiu Jingyuan, Zhan Feiyu would also be able to escape unscathed.

Qiu Jingyuan, who was threatened, really wanted to tear off the proud expression on Zhan Feiyu's face. She was nothing but a country girl, and she deserved to be compared with herself!
If he hadn't been lucky enough to learn from Xueshi Gu, Zhan Feiyu would still be living a full and hungry life in Jinlin Village!

But when she thought that her teacher was a cabinet scholar, Qiu Jingyuan blushed angrily, and wanted to refute, but her throat seemed to be blocked. Although she didn't want to admit it, Zhan Feiyu's identity was indeed better She is more precious.

"The bad guy is here."

"Master Gao is here too."

The policemen who came in a hurry after getting the news shouted, and the surrounding people spontaneously gave way. Walking behind a group of policemen armed with knives was Gao County Magistrate who had not been in office for long.

Looking across the audience, Gao County Magistrate's originally dark face became more majestic and cold, "Send the person to the hospital first."

"Yes, my lord." The two police officers responded immediately, and quickly lifted up Nanny Huang who was lying on the ground in a semi-conscious state. Fortunately, the medical center is two streets away, not too far away. .

Magistrate Gao looked coldly at Qiu Jingyuan, who was surrounded by guards, and said coldly, "Let the child go!"

Fortunately, the little skinny monkey has a lot of guts, and was scared at the beginning when he was kidnapped. If this was an ordinary child, he would probably start crying a long time ago.

Qiu Jingyuan didn't dare to confront Zhan Feiyu, it was because she was afraid of He Shengsheng's hand, but County Magistrate Gao was only a seventh-rank county magistrate, and Qiu Jingyuan didn't take him seriously at all. Qipin county magistrates are not qualified to enter the door of the third house.

Qiu Jingyuan, who was already holding back her anger, became angry again, "So what if you don't let go? Do you still dare to do it?"

Qiu Jingyuan didn't let go, and Xie Ping, who was holding the little monkey hostage, would naturally not let him go, but the arresters had to obey the orders of the magistrate Gao.

For a moment, the two sides confronted each other, and Zhan Feiyu became a bystander.

"I'll say it again, let me go!" Magistrate Gao yelled angrily with a cold expression on his face. He had an upright personality and couldn't tolerate sand in his eyes. official.

So Qiu Jingyuan is not only the daughter of the Qiu family, she is a relative of the emperor, and if she commits a crime at the hands of the magistrate Gao, he will enforce the law impartially and sternly.

Qiu Jingyuan, who was yelled at, became furious, and pointed at Zhan Feiyu, "You stupid officer, why didn't you arrest her! She connived at the servants and cut off the shaft of the carriage, and almost killed me. She is the murderer. You catch her!"

Zhan Feiyu finally knew what it means to commit a crime, so there is nothing wrong with it!She didn't want to waste time either, so she winked at He Sheng.

Here Qiu Jingyuan was still clamoring, but He Sheng made a sudden move, so fast that the guards didn't even have time to react.

As for Xie Ping, he was aware of it, but when he met He Sheng's cold eyes, he hesitated for a moment, and the little thin monkey was rescued by He Sheng.Qiu Jingyuan yelled, "You trash! What's the use of our Qiu family raising you!"

Xie Ping and the other guards bowed their heads and were scolded. If it was an ordinary fight, it would be fine, but this is the county magistrate and the police in Xiangwu County, and this is the territory of the Yang family of the General's Mansion. They really dare to do it. When the time comes The lady is fine, they are all going to jail.

"Thank you, strong man, thank you for your kindness!" The freed little monkey clasped his fists in a salute to He Sheng, then grinned at Zhan Feiyu, and ran away into the crowd.

On the way to County Magistrate Gao, he had already heard the whole story from the policeman. If Miss Qiu's family hadn't ridden the horse in the city, Zhan Feiyu wouldn't have allowed his followers to cut off the shaft of the chariot. Fortunately, He Sheng took action in time so there were no casualties.

"Master Gao, none of this has anything to do with Miss Zhan..."

The people around chattered, even if Zhan Feiyu hadn't led He Sheng and others to resist the barbarian army that night, they would not have watched Qiu Jingyuan frame her, especially Qiu Jingyuan had already aroused public outrage.
