I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 343: Clarifying Thoughts
Two hours later, the Qiu Mansion was finally cleared out, and Dou Qianhu and Gao County Magistrate also left first with their people, and the two still needed to report to the court.

Under the twilight, the cold wind picked up and the snowflakes blew again. Yang Shoucheng and Yang Xu came back with a chill.

Qiu Zongxi looked at Yang Xu with concern, "How is it?"

"Grandpa Qiu, I'm not injured." Apart from being tired and hungry, Yang Xu was not injured.

In the final analysis, it was because these desperadoes brought by Qiu Feng were for the sake of making money, and no one was desperate to serve Qiu Feng, otherwise Yang Xu would not have been able to escape unscathed.

The maids brought over the steaming hot meals, and everyone was tired, so they didn't care about the rules of not talking when eating or sleeping, and started talking while eating.

Yang Shoucheng was the first to speak: "Uncle Qiu, I have already searched Xiangwu County with my people, but they did not find Qiu Feng's whereabouts, and the three-room guards who were captured alive also did not know Qiu Feng's whereabouts."

The scene was too chaotic at that time, so Qiu Feng took advantage of the chaos and left. He probably had made full preparations, and it was normal that he couldn't find him for a while.

"Qiu Feng and Sanfang have a grudge?" Zhan Feiyu put down his chopsticks, and looked at Qiu Zongxi inquiringly. If there was no enmity or resentment, how could Qiu Feng harm Sanfang like this?
Qiu Feng went on a killing spree in the Qiu mansion. Although Zhan Feiyu and the others were safe and sound, five soldiers died in the guard, several servants of the Qiu family also died and two guards.

The most troublesome thing is that those desperadoes fled to the homes of rich families in the county to rob. Although the county magistrate Gao also rushed over with his arresters to stop them, many people still died.

Zhan Feiyu heard from the police at the time that at least 20 people died, not including the injured.

Similarly, those desperadoes also died 30 to [-] people, adding up to almost a hundred people died, and many more were injured.

Similarly, Gu Xueshi and the Yang family of the General's Mansion will not let the third room go. With Qiu Feng's order, Zhan Feiyu and Yang Xu, two and a half children, were forced to hold up swords to defend against the enemy. If there is a master, Qiu Feng escaped, and this grudge must also be blamed on Sanfang.

"Don't look at me, I don't know as much as you do." Qiu Zongxi didn't care about the affairs of the Qiu family for many years, except for that bad old man Qiu Shao, Qiu Zongxi didn't know anything about Qiu Feng, a junior.

Furthermore, when it comes to the ability to detect intelligence, it should belong to the Forbidden Dragon Guard.It is estimated that Qiu Feng will not be caught, and no one can guess his real intention.

……

An hour later.

He Nuan tidied up the study a little bit. Those desperadoes were not interested in books, and there was hardly any damage here.

"Let Asheng come over when he comes back." Zhan Feiyu confessed to He Nuan that the day was delayed for a day, and he didn't have time to do his homework, so he had to make up for it no matter how tired he was.

"Gentlemen are virtuous and kiss their relatives, villains enjoy themselves and benefit their interests, so they will never forget them in this world." Zhan Feiyu read the title silently, his right hand still did not forget to grind skillfully, and his mind began to think How to solve the problem.

When He Sheng came back from inquiring about the news and was close to Zizi, the Qiu Mansion was already quiet, except for a few nursing homes, everyone else fell asleep.

"Wait a minute." Zhan Feiyu said without raising his head, and the hand holding the pen didn't stop. He didn't stand up until he finished writing the sentence on the buttocks, and then he stood up and moved his body stiff from lying on the table for a long time.

In front of the round table, He Nuan poured tea, "Miss, the tea is warm and you can drink it in one sip."

"Ah Sheng, sit down, what's the situation?" Zhan Feiyu signaled He Sheng to sit down and answer, and he picked up the cup and took a sip. Two charcoal basins were burned in the study, and his mouth was always dry.

He Nuan didn't bother the two of them who were talking, and went to the desk to pack up the pen and ink, and put the homework that was not yet dry to dry.

After half an hour.

Zhan Feiyu gasped in surprise, put the cup back on the table, his dark eyes widened a bit, "You think Qiu Feng might have fled to the barbarians?"

"The news has already spread to my subordinates. Once Qiu Feng appears in the barbarians, the spies over there will report back the exact situation." The first thing He Sheng needs to ensure is the safety of Zhan Feiyu. Leave to inquire about the news.

Fortunately, the Forbidden Dragon Guard has deployed many secret sentries in Longyou Road since years ago. Although He Sheng was not able to track down the missing Qiu Feng in the first place, according to the news that came back at night, Qiu Feng is probably the Fleeing barbarians.

"Then his killing spree in the Qiu Mansion during the day is to create chaos, and it is also a bargaining chip to surrender to the barbarians." Zhan Feiyu frowned thinking, this could explain the reason for Tongqiu Feng's killing spree, but it involved more mystery.

Zhan Feiyu sat up straight, "Qiu Tai only has one son and one daughter, Qiu Jinyu is dead, Qiu Jingyuan will marry out sooner or later, and Qiu Feng will definitely be reused if he stays in the third room. It seems strange that he ran away at this time .”

Although the third family of the Qiu family has produced four scholars, three of them have already achieved fame, and Qiu Jinyu, the eldest grandson, is a rare junior.

Previously, with Qiu Jinyu's jewels in front of him, Qiu Feng could only serve as a foil. All the network resources of Sanfang were used to cultivate Qiu Jinyu, but now it was Qiu Feng's opportunity.

"There must be a reason why we must leave." He Sheng replied that all the news Zhan Feiyu got was from him and the forbidden dragon guard.

He Sheng knew all the information about the third room of the Qiu family in Qianzhong Road, but the direction of the previous investigation was wrong, and more people were investigating Qiu Shao, and then Qiu Tai, the person in charge of the third room, and Qiu Jinyu also focused on the investigation Object, the investigation of Qiu Feng was not detailed enough.

The study was quiet, and Zhan Feiyu continued to think. At this time, she missed Yin Wuyan very much. If her big brother was there, she would probably have found the key point.

The clan rule of the Qiu family is that those who are capable live in it, and the position of the head of the family is not limited to the succession of the direct branch. This is also the reason why the third generation of the Qiu family died in peace.

Sanfang was originally a descendant from the ancestors. If the rules of other families in the Daqing Dynasty were followed, the position of head of the family would always be passed on to Sanfang.

But later, Qiu Zongxi's team was more capable, and Sanfang's ancestors failed to compete for the position of Patriarch and became a side branch. These years, Sanfang tried their best to regain the position of Patriarch, but unfortunately they all failed.

Qiu Shao's full name should be Qiu Zongshao, and he is of the same generation as Qiu Zongxi, but he is about ten years younger. Because of the discord with Qiu Zongxi, he threatened to be ashamed of being of the same generation as Qiu Zongxi, so he gave up the word "Zongxi". Qiu Shao was named.

At that time, Qiu Shao was only a teenager in his teens, full of vigor and ambition, the most disdainful cousin Qiu Zongxi, he thought he was a man who was trying to catch fame, and the reason why he became famous in the Daqing Dynasty was due to the use of money and connections by his descendants A good reputation has been built.

At the beginning, Qiu Shao thought that one day he would win back the title of Patriarch, and he would restore the family lineage, but more than 40 years have passed since he set up his ambition, and the Sanfang is still a side branch.

The name Qiu Shao was reduced to a joke, but no one dared to speak openly of the name of the Qiu family because they were afraid of it. No matter what Sanfang was, his surname was still Qiu on the surface, and Sanfang had always followed the line of the Patriarch.

After tidying up the desk and looking at Zhan Feiyu who was still contemplating, He Nuan walked over and filled the empty cup, poured another cup of tea and handed it to He Sheng who was full of tiredness, "Qiu Feng has been obeying orders all these years. Qiu Tai?"

He Sheng took the cup and replied, "Qiu Shao only has one son and one daughter, and the eldest daughter is Qiu Feng's mother, who gave birth to her son Qiu Tai many years later."

There is a ten-year age difference between the siblings, which is why Qiu Feng's cousin is almost in his thirties, and Qiu Jinyu and Qiu Jingyuan's siblings are only in their teens.

Although Qiu Shao didn't have many heirs, he still had at least one son and a daughter, and later he had grandchildren and grandchildren, but Qiu Zongxi never got married in his life, so Qiu Shao had won a game.

"Before Qiu Tai was born, Qiu Shao adopted three sons from the clan. Unfortunately, the three sons are old and may not be good, but there are still three grandchildren in the examination." He Sheng speculated that later Qiu Tai was born, otherwise Qiu Shao would have adopted his son.

Even if he failed to win the title of Patriarch, Qiu Shao was far better than Qiu Zongxi, his old enemy, in terms of heirs.

Among Qiu Shao's grandchildren, there were four scholars, but the three Juren's grandsons were all born to adoptive sons. In terms of blood, Qiu Jinyu is Qiu Shao's eldest grandson, and he is the heir whom Sanfang spared no effort to cultivate. The hope of seizing the position of Patriarch.

"Qiu Jinyu is a barbarian spy, and Qiu Shao doesn't know?" Zhan Feiyu didn't know what went wrong with Sanfang, so he had someone kill his eldest grandson under Qiu Shao's nose, and replaced him with a barbarian spy.

The entire Sanfang started from the grandfather Qiu Shao, the next three adopted sons, and then the current head of the Sanfang Qiu Tai, and the eldest daughter Qiu Wenlan who returned home after losing her husband.

The grandchildren Qiu Jinyu and Qiu Jingyuan were young, most of the children of the three step-uncles were married, the older cousin's children could walk, and Qiu Feng was never married, otherwise the children would have crawled all over the floor.

There are dozens of family members in Sanfang, big and small, and the intricate relationship inside, not to mention that Zhan Feiyu will not be able to figure it out for a while, and it will not be easy for the forbidden dragon guard to investigate.

It's normal that He Sheng hasn't received any specific information yet. Barbarians were involved, and Qiu Jinyu probably was replaced in her infancy. So it's been [-] or [-] years now. The passage of time has long been annihilated, and it is too difficult to check now.

However, there are only a few people who are most suspected: first of all, the grandfather Qiu Shao, he is the real ruler of Sanfang, and what he has to do can't be easier.

The second is Qiu Tai and his wife. As Qiu Jinyu's parents, it is impossible for them to be ignorant of it. It may be that one of them did it, or both of them participated.

In the end, there are other people in Sanfang. Because of conflicts of interest, the three adopted sons and their children, for the sake of Sanfang's rights and wealth, it's normal for them to secretly tamper with each other. Without Qiu Jinyu, they all have the opportunity to take over Sanfang. .

Zhan Feiyu went over the people in Sanfang in his mind, "Even if Qiu Tai has another child, it will take at least ten years for the child to grow up. This is the opportunity for others."

Counting from the grandfather of Qiu Shao, Sanfang, they want to take back the position of master, but they can put it inside Sanfang, and the three adopted sons may have developed ambitions, wanting to take Qiu Tai's position, especially now In this situation, Qiu Jinyu, the biggest obstacle, was gone.

He Nuan asked in surprise: "In this way, Qiu Feng already has some power in Sanfang. When he is full-fledged, no matter who is the heir of Sanfang, Qiu Feng may "bring the emperor to order the princes". Going to the barbarians is really hard to imagine."

"Unless he has a reason to go to the barbarians." Zhan Feiyu suddenly laughed, "In short, Qiu Feng can't stay in Sanfang anymore, he has to leave in order to survive, and it can even be said that he has no foothold in the Daqing Dynasty He can only go to the barbarians."

"Miss, do you mean that Qiu Feng knows Qiu Jinyu's identity as a barbarian?" He Sheng got a clue.

But it was not easy for the Forbidden Dragon Guards to find out such confidential information. After all, Qiu Feng was a junior, and in terms of blood, he was from a foreign surname. Qiu Jinyu's identity was so confidential, it was impossible for Qiu Feng to know.

Zhan Feiyu rubbed the center of his brows, fighting during the day and homework at night, he would be exhausted and panicked, feeling his temples twitching and aching, "Two possibilities: One is that Qiu Feng may be due to chance and coincidence. As a barbarian, he even threatened to gain benefits from it, and once Qiu Jinyu died, Qiu Feng was worried that Sanfang would settle accounts later, so he had to escape."

"The second is that Qiu Feng knows that Qiu Jinyu is a barbarian spy, and he is worried that the court will settle accounts in the future. Over the years, he has done many shady things for Sanfang. Once the court asks Sanfang, Qiu Feng will die, so he can only go first. escape."

He Nuan was still a little puzzled when he heard this, and looked at Zhan Feiyu and asked, "If someone from Sanfang colluded with the barbarians, and Qiu Feng knew the secret, once he escaped to the barbarians, wouldn't it be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger? "

If Qiu Feng was replaced by his grandfather, Qiu Shao, Qiu Feng would have gone to the barbarians. As long as Qiu Shao notified the barbarians, Qiu Feng's fate can be imagined.

"Then there is another possibility. No one in Sanfang knows Qiu Jinyu's identity as a barbarian, so they vigorously cultivate Qiu Jinyu, but Qiu Feng knows it. However, given Qiu Feng's age, he was only a young man more than ten years ago, so manipulative His mother Qiu Wenlan may be responsible for this matter." Zhan Feiyu felt that her thoughts became a little clearer when she said this, of course, all this is her inference, and the Dragon Guards need to investigate and verify it.

After losing her husband, Qiu Wenlan returned to Ning with her only son. She was more than ten years older than Qiu Tai and his wife. In addition, her mother died young, so Qiu Wenlan, the third-bedroom back house, was the real ruler.

Qiu Tai's wife is a bride who has not been in the family for two years. She is still young. After all, the above three sisters-in-law are adoptive relationships. Qiu Wenlan controls the back house with one hand. Qiu Shao and Qiu Tai and his son must trust Qiu Wenlan more. She can do whatever she wants. Cross the sea.

"Subordinates immediately send someone to investigate." He Sheng stood up.

When he sent someone to investigate the third room of Qiu's family, Qiu Wenlan lived in her natal family as a widow, and she lived in seclusion on weekdays, devoting herself to worshiping Buddha. Also careless.

Zhan Feiyu looked at the candles on the table, "It's okay to check it out, maybe this is the darkness under the lamp, after more than ten years, Mrs. Qiu is now in charge of the back house, and it is her three brothers who want to fight for power." A sister-in-law, it's normal for Qiu Wenlan to be forgotten."
