I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 366

Zhan Feiyu's reply picked out Zhao Tongzhi and Hu Butou, and she entered the study with the token of the Forbidden Dragon Guard.

Not to mention that Zhao Tongzhi wasn't there at the time, even if he was there, he couldn't stop him, not to mention Hu Butou, who didn't even have a grade.

As soon as Zhan Feiyu said this, Zhao Tongzhi's expression remained unchanged, but gratitude flashed quickly in his eyes.

The small catchers guarding outside the main hall were even more grateful. Chu Qian had directly attacked Zhao Tongzhi in the past.

There was a disdainful laugh, and Chu Qianshi said with a gloomy expression: "Miss Zhan is young, but she knows how to control people. I admire you!"

This is not to say that Zhan Feiyu is buying people's hearts. As a scholar, he does not devote himself to learning, but engages in political tactics, especially Zhan Feiyu is still a girl. If this word gets out, it will at least hurt her reputation.

If someone adds fuel and jealousy, it may involve Gu Xueshi who is far away in the capital. How noble a scholar of the Imperial Academy is, but he teaches a disciple who seeks fame and fortune. Gu Xueshi's reputation will be ruined in Zhan Feiyu in hand.

Seeing Chu Qian's incident full of malice, Zhan Feiyu took the words, "The teacher once wrote a couplet when he was enlightened to learn pairs: the sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading, and the sound of reading."

Xialian Zhan Feiyu doesn't need to say clearly, except for Chu Qianshi who is a military general, the adults here are all scholars who have passed the imperial examination, but even if they are military generals, this well-known pair must be clear.

Zhan Feiyu smiled, and there was a bit of undisguised disdain on Baozi's white and tender face, "If you don't know about Chu Qian, you can know the second line: family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, and care about everything."

This is ridiculing that Chu Qian is an illiterate idiot. Although Zhang Zhifu's death is a matter of the Suzhou government, Zhan Feiyu, as a scholar, is not too concerned about the case.

Ignoring Chu Qian's ashen face, Zhan Feiyu cupped his hands towards Zhengbei and continued: "The teacher once taught me that studying and studying is to understand things, and if you are good at learning, you will be an official. If you live in a high temple, you will worry about its people. If you are far away, you will worry about your king..."

Even though Chu Qian knew little about Zhan Feiyu's hanging book bag, he absolutely had no patience to listen to what Zhan Feiyu was here for.

But from the corner of the eye, it was not only Master Yao who was stroking his beard from time to time and listening attentively, but even Master Zheng nodding his head from time to time.

After a quarter of an hour, the dry-mouthed Zhan Feiyu finally stopped talking, glanced at Chu Qianshi who was holding back his anger, and apologized to Master Yao, "Student is rude, please forgive me."

"Master Gu is concerned about the country and the people, and he is a role model for all officials." Master Yao's clear face showed admiration. Even though Zhan Feiyu was talented and intelligent, she would never have said this without the careful teaching of Bachelor Gu. Let's talk.

Of course, although Zhan Feiyu is suspected of being a show off on purpose, it is obviously for the sake of ignoring Chu Qian who is illiterate. This narrow style of behavior is in line with her age, after all, she is only a ten-year-old girl.

"Master Yao, it's better for us to get back to business." Chu Qian said in a gloomy voice.

Even if the Commander is not under the jurisdiction of the Chief Envoy, but the senior officials can crush people to death, Mr. Yao is the second-rank Chief Envoy, and the matter of Chu Qian is only a matter of the fourth rank. How dare he tell Zhan Feiyu and Zhao Tongzhi To make trouble, but dare not be rude to Lord Yao.

Master Yao nodded, which was considered to be a face to Chu Qianshi. He looked at Zhan Feiyu and asked, "Since you entered the study that day, what did you find?"

Since Zhan Feiyu said that the reason why she entered the study to check Zhang Zhifu's body was because she cared about state affairs in a righteous sense, so she couldn't hide her clumsiness at this moment, so she had to explain why.

"Master Hui..." Zhan Feiyu has a very good memory, she can still recall the scene in the study at this moment, and even remember how many teacups were broken.

Zhan Feiyu's statement is basically consistent with the results of the autopsy conducted by Huang Zuozuo, but Zhan Feiyu did not move the body at that time, so the details are not as detailed as what Wu Zuo said.

"Master Zhao sealed off the meeting at the scene of the murder and then locked Pang Tongzhi alone. The doors and windows of the study were closed. According to the little official, there were no three people in the study. Now we can only listen to Pang Tongzhi's confession." Zhan Feiyu said impartially. , without personal emotion.

As for Chu Qian's previous accusation that Zhan Feiyu entered the murder scene because of He Nuan's case to frame Pang Tongzhi, this statement is obviously untenable, and if Chu Qian's matter continues, it will come to nothing.

Master Yao pondered for a while, "Come here, bring Pang Xian'an up for questioning."

Because it involves the death of Zhang Zhifu, and the murderer is likely to be Pang Tongzhi, it is impossible for this case to be heard publicly during the investigation stage.

Mr. Yao had already signed up for the case before he came to Suzhou Mansion, and Mr. Zheng and Chu Qian were also here. The three divisions jointly tried it. Presumably, the imperial court would not send ministers to investigate this case.

Soon Pang Tongzhi was taken to the main hall by two police officers. Zhao Tongzhi did not avenge his private revenge publicly, so apart from his poor complexion, Pang Tongzhi didn't lose much weight, and he didn't wear prison clothes. This made Chu Qian want to make trouble. No excuses.

"My subordinate Pang Xian'an pays homage to Master Yao." Seeing Master Yao sitting in the main seat, Pang Tongzhi immediately knelt down and saluted. From the fact that he claimed to be a subordinate, he knew that he would not plead guilty.

"Pang Xian'an, think carefully about the situation in the study with Prefect Zhang on the day when the incident happened." Master Yao's expression became calm again, making it difficult to understand his opinion on the case.

After being held in the cell for a few days, Pang Tongzhi naturally recalled all the details in his mind over and over again, down to every word Zhang Zhifu said at that time, the expression on his face when he spoke, and the way Zhang Zhifu smashed things. action.

It was also fortunate that Pang Tongzhi was an official who passed the imperial examination, so even if his memory was not as vivid as Zhan Feiyu's, it was much better than that of ordinary people, so after Master Yao asked, Pang Tongzhi immediately answered.

Master Yao never shouted, but Pang Tongzhi still knelt on the ground, "Report to Master..."

Two quarters of an hour later, Pang Tongzhi finished speaking. His remarks and his autopsy, including Zhan Feiyu's statement just now, were almost the same. This also indirectly shows that after Pang Tongzhi left the study, Zhan Feiyu did not enter the study. , but did nothing at the murder scene.

Moreover, Zhao Tongzhi ordered the seals to be pasted on the doors and windows, and then sent police officers to guard it, and it is true that no one entered the study.

"Pang Xian'an, I heard that you are good at painting?" Chu Qianshi said suddenly, glanced at Pang Tongzhi and continued: "In this case, you might as well draw the murder scene from memory, after all, it has been a few days since the crime happened and Mr. Yao came in person." day."

Zhan Feiyu was about to roll his eyes, it was obviously a villain's heart for Chu Qian's incident.

The two policemen lifted a table and put it in front of Pang Tongzhi, and the little official also put the pen, ink and paper on the table.

Time passed bit by bit, after Pang Tongzhi finished the painting meticulously, before the ink was dry, Master Yao was not in a hurry, but Chu Qianshi got up and walked down.

Seeing this, Zhan Feiyu grinned at Master Yao, got up and walked over, and looked at Chu Qianshi from left to right across the table.

If Zhan Feiyu described it in detail, then Pang Tongzhi's painting was even more detailed. Even the expression on Zhang Zhifu's face was detailed, almost 100% restoring the murder scene.

With an attitude of not being ashamed to ask, Zhan Feiyu deliberately squeezed Chu Qian's affairs, "My lord just went to the study, I don't know if there is any difference compared with this painting?"

"Hmph!" With a cold snort, Chu Qian cast a gloomy glance at Zhan Feiyu, then strode back to his seat with a shake of his hands.

Still sitting on the main seat, Lord Yao was holding a teacup to drink tea, a smile flashed in his eyes quickly when he saw this, it really is that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

But after thinking about it, Zhan Feiyu is a teacher of Gu Xueshi, holding the token of the Forbidden Dragon Guard in her hand, and there are even rumors that she is a legacy of the sea. Get this girl three points of face.

"Li Jun, take the painting to the murder scene for comparison, and record any discrepancies." Master Yao asked someone to take the painting to the study after seeing the painting.

Those who should be tried will continue to be tried. Pang Tongzhi knelt down and cried for grievances at this moment, "Reporting to my lord, there was a dispute between the lower official and the prefect Zhang because of He Nuan's case that day. Feiyu's maid is being held in prison..."

"Because of a disagreement, Xiaguan was going to leave, but Zhang Zhifu suddenly grabbed Xiaguan's arm. Xiaguan just wanted to throw Zhang Zhifu away, but he never thought that Zhang Zhifu would fall backwards and finally knocked down. Breaking the screen led to death." Although Pang Tongzhi lowered his head, his eyes were full of dark clouds, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that he was being tricked by Zhang Zhifu, who would have thought that Zhang Zhifu would use his life to make arrangements!

"At that time, the Xiaguan did not use any force, and Zhang Zhifu was at least half a foot away from the screen. It stands to reason that the strength of the Xiaguan would not make Zhang Zhifu fall down. It hit the carved green bamboo on the left side of the screen, my lord, I have wronged you!"

Pang Tongzhi began to cry with his head grabbing the ground, and he almost accused Zhang Zhifu of committing suicide. He backed up and knocked down the screen, and deliberately aimed at the wood carving green bamboo, otherwise how could he die.
