I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 354
Compared to Qian Shipeng's anxiety and even fear, Pang Tongzhi, after all, has been an official for many years, calmly persuaded him: "Don't be impatient, Mr. Qian. Although Zhan Feiyu threatened you, she will definitely not kill you."

Speaking of this, Pang Tongzhi's Maitreya-like smiling face quickly flashed disdain, Qian Shipeng was so frightened by a little girl, it really is mud that can't support the wall.

"Big man!" Qian Shipeng slapped the table angrily, and squeezed out words, "Zhan Feiyu holds the Token of the Forbidden Dragon Guard in his hand, if the Forbidden Dragon Guard makes a move, does the huge man think I'm still alive? "

No matter how many plans and plans you have before, but in the face of life and death, all of these are not worth mentioning!The first thing Qian Shipeng needs to ensure is his own wealth and life. His life is gone. Any grand plans, power and status are bullshit!
Hearing the words Jinlongwei, Pang Tongzhi's expression became a bit serious. This is what he couldn't understand. Since Zhan Feiyu studied under Gu Xueshi, why did he have anything to do with Jinlongwei?

Even though he is an official in Longyou Dao, and he is only a small five-rank associate, Da Dao also knows that the Holy One hates forming cliques for personal gain these years.

Especially in the past few years when the crown prince was not established, whenever there was any clique in the court, the holy majesty would definitely use thunder to deal with it.

But Zhan Feiyu is the high-ranking Bachelor Gu on the one hand, and the forbidden dragon guard on the other. Uneasy and irritable.

After pondering for a while, Pang Tongzhi said again: "In that case, Mr. Qian might as well stay in Pang's residence for now."

After all, Pang Tongzhi is an official of the imperial court, and Qian Shipeng also knows that Pang Tongzhi has a backer and is inextricably linked with the palace.

Breathing out a foul breath, Qian Shipeng also calmed down, took out a stack of bank notes from his pocket and put them on the table, "There are 2 taels here."

Pang Tongzhi nodded with a smile, 2 taels was indeed a lot, but he didn't take it seriously, the master was interested in the third house of the Qiu family behind Mrs. Qian.

After Qian Shipeng settled down, Pang Tongzhi got up and left the study.

Half an hour later, the sky was getting dark, and the maids of Pang's mansion lit up the lanterns under the corridor one by one. After washing and changing into casual clothes, Pang Tongzhi walked slowly towards the backyard.

In the dimly lit place, the lady surrounded by maidservants had a gentle look on her face. When she saw Pang Tongzhi, she walked a little anxiously, "Master."

"Ma'am." Pang Tongzhi held the lady's hand. It was soft and smooth to the touch, and his hands were slightly warm. Pang Tongzhi felt relieved, "Madam should stay indoors due to the chilly spring."

A beauty's smile is the most gentle, and Mrs. Pang responded, "Dinner is ready, and I warmed up a pot of the master's favorite Lihuabai."

Don't look at Pang Tongzhi's slightly fat body, smiling all day long, without the majesty of an official, but the maids and women who serve in the backyard are full of awe, enough to know the tricks of a huge man.

The room was brightly lit, and the sandalwood in the copper stove exuded a pleasant smell. The maids all retreated outside the door, and Mrs. Pang personally served Pang Tongzhi for dinner, "The butler came to report that the master left Qian Shipeng in the guest house."

Putting down his wine glass, Pang Tongzhi didn't hide anything, "This matter is a bit tricky. Zhao Yi and the others are not stupid. They all evaded and said they didn't see it. He Nuan is currently in prison for the time being, and the trial will be held in five days."

"I offended Xueshi Gu. When Zhang Zhifu becomes an official, the master wants to take over the post of magistrate. I'm afraid the officials will not agree." Mrs. Pang frowned slightly. She knew from Pang Tongzhi's willingness to talk to her about official affairs. She is not an ordinary woman who only knows how to take care of the back house.

"Bachelor Gu's ability to be more than ten thousand people is based on a holy will." Pang Tongzhi was not too worried, and continued to speak with half-closed eyes: "The general's mansion is restored. Zhang Zhifu had old grievances with the general's mansion in the early years. The magistrate also secretly went to the inn to meet Zhan Feiyu, but unfortunately he returned without success, so he can only rely on his master."

When mentioning Zhang Zhifu and Zhang's family, Pang Tongzhi snorted disdainfully, "A year ago, Zhang Minxian and Zhang Minhuai brothers and sisters made a special trip to Xiangwu County, wanting to turn hostility into friendship, but in the end they brought their niece's corpse with them. is back."

So Pang Tongzhi was not worried that he would not be able to be promoted to the post of magistrate, the master would help him, and the Holy Majesty would not let officials related to the general's mansion come to Suzhou, so he was the best candidate.

"Master, eat the vegetables." Mrs. Pang put two chopsticks of vegetables into Pang Tongzhi's bowl, and said with a soft smile, "Prefect Zhang is in a hurry to go to the doctor. Since the Holy Majesty has decided to revive the Yang family, Prefect Zhang and the Yang family are at odds." , he can secure the prefect position, otherwise he should be worried about the Holy Majesty who is far away from the Golden Luan Hall."

The Yang family of the General's Mansion holds the military power, and the Zhang family can be regarded as a family of officials in Longyou Dao. Although the official position is not high, in the territory of Longyou Dao, the Zhang family's in-laws, old relatives and students are all over the state capitals. A huge network of relationships has been formed.

If the General's Mansion reconciles with the Zhang family, how can the Holy Majesty rest assured?The opposite two families are at odds and restrain each other, this is the way of the Holy One's balance.

It's a pity that Zhang Zhifu was afraid of being retaliated by the General's Mansion, so he was anxious to repair the relationship. After the failure, he was eager to find a backer again. Otherwise, Pang Tongzhi would not try He Nuan's case without the approval of Zhang Zhifu.

Pang Tongzhi still didn’t say a word, even if the imperial court finally sent other officials to work in Suzhou Prefecture, this is the site of Zhang Zhifu. things!
After drinking and eating, Mrs. Pang asked the maid to clean up the table and brought over the brewed tea.

"Master, will Zhan Feiyu really order the forbidden dragon guards to kill Qian Shipeng?" Mrs. Pang asked suspiciously. She could see through all kinds of actions of Zhang Zhifu and the Zhang family, but only Zhan Feiyu It's a bit unpredictable here.

As soon as Zhan Feiyu's name was mentioned, Pang Tongzhi lost interest in tasting tea.

Pang Tongzhi thought of the scene in the Bairi court. The little girl was only ten years old after the Chinese New Year, but because she was young, no one could guess her thoughts. The most difficult thing was that she was surrounded by a group of masters to protect her, and what she wanted to do was easy. .

Knocking on the table with one hand, Pang Tongzhi stared at the burning candle in a daze, "It's nothing more than to kill or not to kill. If Qian Shipeng is killed, if the censor takes a copy, the murder charge will be deducted, even if there is no witness Physical evidence, but three people became tigers, this trivial matter will not hurt the reputation of Bachelor Gu, but Zhan Feiyu's future is in doubt, she has offended the eldest prince's family before, Chen Xuezheng will miss the opportunity to crucify Zhan Feiyu."

"It's a better choice not to kill." Pang Tongzhi thought differently. If he was Zhan Feiyu, even if he held the Forbidden Dragon Guard Token, he would definitely not kill people easily to leave a clue.

"He Nuan is just a maid, not to mention how many masters the Forbidden Dragon Guard has secretly cultivated, just say that Gu Xueshi doesn't have such masters under his command, there is no need to use his reputation for a maid."

And in the final analysis, Qian Shipeng's case does not have enough witnesses. Even if Pang Tongzhi sided with the gang, He Nuan was charged with intentionally hurting others. Whether he was fined money or exiled, He Nuan's life would not be killed, at most two or three The young man is back.

Hearing this, Mrs. Pang was a little puzzled, "Master, since this is the case, why did Qian Shipeng use his own hand to frame He Nuan? Isn't the gain outweighed by the loss?"

Even if He Nuan was sentenced to exile, it was Qian Shipeng who bullied others and made a fuss about it. He picked it up first, and if it got out, maybe those scholars would say it was a good fight.

A dude like Qian Shipeng is hated by others, and Zhan Feiyu's actions can be regarded as doing justice for the sky.

"It's all about venting anger. Qiu Jinyu died for no apparent reason. After Qiu Feng killed Qiu Zongxi's mansion, he hid in the barbarians. The three rooms of the Qiu family were completely destroyed. I heard that the barbarians had already issued a reward order for Zhan Feiyu. Unfortunately, Frightened by the Forbidden Dragon Guards, no one in the Daqing Dynasty dared to take risks for money."

Pang Tongzhi also really admired Zhan Feiyu's lethality, destroying the elaborate layout of the barbarians for more than ten years with one person.

Although Zhu Xiao, the son of Hou Shizi of the former township, brought people to join the barbarians, which can be regarded as a little comfort to the barbarians, but compared to the losses of the barbarians this time, it is quite understandable that they want to kill Zhan Feiyu, and they probably wish they could kill Zhan Fei The old ancestral grave of the Yu family.

"At the end of the day, Qian Shipeng is too stupid, and he showed his feet, otherwise He Nuan's maid would not suddenly attack." Pang Tongzhi thought of Qian Shipeng who was staying in the mansion for a while, showing disdain again, after all, he was too young , not stable enough.

Qian Shipeng knew that he was exposed, so he simply abolished one of his hands endlessly to frame He Nuan, but he didn't think about it, let alone He Nuan.
It's just a maid, and it's not a serious injury to Zhan Feiyu. If Zhang Zhifu hadn't decided to take He Nuan's surgery in order to surrender, Pang Tongzhi would not have accepted the case.

Mrs. Pang came over and rubbed Pang Tongzhi's shoulders skillfully with her bare hands, "Master is following orders now, and Qian Shipeng is looking for prefect Zhang. No matter what happens in the end, it's safest for you to stay behind the scenes, sir." of."

After Zhang Zhifu failed to return from Zhan Feiyu, he immediately found the person who had contacted him before, and found backing in the court again. The case of Qian Shipeng was ordered by Zhang Zhifu to take over.

It's just that Zhang Zhifu wanted to be wise and safe, so he threw the hot potato to Pang Tongzhi, a subordinate. At least it seemed that it was Pang Tongzhi who offended Zhan Feiyu and Gu Xueshi, and Zhang Zhifu could withdraw at any time.

Qian Shipeng also regarded Pang Tongzhi as a subordinate of Zhang Zhifu, and obeyed Zhang Zhifu's orders.

In the inn, Zhan Feiyu also learned from He Sheng that Qian Shipeng had hid in Pang Tong's mansion, "Is there any movement in Zhang Zhi's mansion?"

"Not yet. Prefect Zhang has been busy with official business these days." He Sheng found out the news through the Forbidden Dragon Guard very accurately. I lost it here, and in order not to startle the snake, I didn't pursue it extensively."

Zhang Zhifu has been operating in Suzhou for many years, this is his territory, any troubles must not be hidden from Zhang Zhifu's eyes, and the forbidden dragon guards have to be cautious.
