I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 369
In the previous case of Zhang Zhifu's death, Zhan Feiyu held the Token of the Forbidden Dragon Guard to enter the murder scene.

But this time it was different, Qian Shipeng was killed and Master Yao who was in charge of investigating the case, a second-rank official of the imperial court, even if Zhan Feiyu went, he would definitely be stopped outside the door.

"Master Zhu still intends to save Qian Shipeng. Could it be that the people in the capital killed people?" Zhan Feiyu pondered. .

It's just that the Qian family is a merchant, and Qian Shipeng is just a bastard, and the people he can get in touch with are limited in status. Even if he has money, it's a pity that the information he can get is insignificant.

This is also the reason why Qian Shipeng wanted to marry Qiu Jingyuan and win the list of barbarians in Qianzhong Road. He has ambitions and what he lacks is an opportunity, but unfortunately he has now risked his life.

He Sheng said: "There is no news from the Forbidden Dragon Guard yet, but our people have been keeping an eye on Pang Tongzhi and the Pang Mansion. The past two days have been calm and there is nothing unusual. It is not ruled out that the other party avoided the eyes of the Forbidden Dragon Guard and killed Qian Shipeng silenced."

Pang Tongzhi has connections with the palace, but he hides deeply. The people sent by the palace secretly contacted Zhang Zhifu. This is also to hide Pang Tongzhi. It is a pity that people are not as good as God. Zhang Zhifu has noticed it a few years ago. Pang Tongzhi's anomaly.

The Forbidden Dragon Guard also prevents people from silencing people, so they have been sending people to keep an eye on the prison in Suzhou Mansion, but Zhu Xiao's arrival forced the Forbidden Dragon Guard to assign some staff, which may have caused an omission.

He Sheng even suspected that the people from Beijing had sensed something was wrong, so they never showed up. Who knew that Qian Shipeng died suddenly at this juncture, which indirectly showed that the people behind the scenes were hiding very deep.

"Send someone to Pang's mansion first to find out the details of Qian Shipeng's murder." Zhan Feiyu told He Sheng a few words, "Then send someone to send a letter to Zhu Shizi, and see if Qian Shipeng died. No news."

Of course, Zhan Feiyu's move also made Zhu Xiao understand that the death of the Forbidden Dragon Guard and Qian Shipeng had nothing to do with him. Now that Zhu Xiao is considered a saint, there is no need for "infighting".

After He Sheng left, Zhan Feiyu pondered for a long time, and went through all the scenes that happened in Suzhou Mansion in his mind. Unfortunately, Pang Tongzhi never confessed, Qian Shipeng was dead, and the people sent by the palace hid it again. Deep, the water in Suzhou Prefecture is getting muddy.

……

At night, Suzhou government office, Houzhai Guest House.

The room was brightly lit. Master Yao had been looking through the investigation materials of the past few days since he came back from the Pang Mansion. There were those from Zhang Zhifu, and some from Pang Tongzhi, including Zhao Tongzhi.

"My lord, it's late at night." The entourage waiting quietly reminded me in a low voice. Before, my lord rushed all the way to Suzhou Mansion. After arriving, he took over the case of Pang Xian'an, and now he has even taken a break. I don't have much time, and I just take a nap every day.

Lord Yao raised his head, only then did he feel his eyes dry and uncomfortable, "It's true that I'm old, I can't accept my old age."

"My lord, why do you say that? These days, my lord has never slept for two hours, and even the hardened people can't bear it." The attendant picked up the teapot warmed on the charcoal stove, poured a cup of ginseng tea and handed it over, " Madam told me before I set off, let the adults drink a cup of ginseng tea before going to sleep, not a single drop is allowed!"

"Wait a little longer, I guess your elder brother will come back too." Master Yao drank the ginseng tea with a bitter face, the taste was indescribable.

This is the ginseng tea that Mrs. Yao asked the imperial doctor to prepare, it has the effect of helping sleep, but Longyou Road is not peaceful, no matter how much ginseng tea you drink, it will be useless.

Sure enough, after waiting for about a quarter of an hour, a figure dressed in black appeared in the room, and his facial features were about [-]% similar to those of Master Yao's attendants.

"My lord, my subordinates have discovered that not only the Suzhou Prison, but also the Pang Mansion and the government office are being followed by people. Apart from a few waves of people who are not capable enough to let the subordinates find their whereabouts, there are at least three waves of masters lurking in the dark. .”

"There are so many people?" The entourage on the side asked in amazement. It's not surprising that he would be like this. In this way, there are at least seven or eight forces watching.

This made the attendants worry about Lord Yao's safety. Zhang Zhifu died, Qian Shipeng died, who knows if those insane people in the dark will take action against him.

Seeing this, Lord Yao showed a slight smile on his face, "The more people there are, the more muddled the water, the better. They restrict each other, and no one dares to act rashly. There must be a Forbidden Dragon Guard on the Holy One's side, and there are probably also sent in the palace." People are watching, there may be more than one prince, and the barbarians may also send people, this Suzhou Prefecture is not peaceful."

Master Yao’s calculations are actually quite small. He hasn’t included all the local forces in Longyou Dao. It also involved Zhan Feiyu.

Whether it's the Zhang family, including the in-laws Zhou's family, or even other forces, it is estimated that there are people lurking in Suzhou Mansion.

Master Yao let out a long sigh, rubbed the center of his brows tiredly, and then continued to ask: "What's happening in the Pang Mansion? Can the little girl Zhan Feiyu send someone to the Pang Mansion to find out the news?"

Although the arresters and yamen servants from the Suzhou government government are still guarding outside the Pang mansion, to prevent another homicide case in the mansion, Master Yao sent two people to the Pang mansion after speaking with Master Zheng and Chu Qian. These six people can be regarded as supervising each other in the Pang Mansion.

"Returning to my lord, everything is calm in the Pang Mansion. All the servants stay in the house in groups of four, and the meals are delivered to the door by the clerks of the yamen..."

As for Zhan Feiyu, Xiao Zimo said: "Miss Zhan has been studying in the inn, and none of the attendants and coachmen around her have left the inn, but Miss Zhan has the token of the Forbidden Dragon Guard, and the Forbidden Dragon Guard may pass on the news Give it to Miss Zhan."

Master Yao nodded in understanding, and tapped lightly on the table with one hand, which was his usual action when thinking.

But the entourage standing aside couldn't help asking: "My lord, Miss Zhan is under the tutelage of Gu Xueshi, and the Forbidden Dragon Guard is famous for killing people. How did Gu Xueshi get Miss Zhan and the Forbidden Dragon Guard involved?"

Regardless of the prestige of holding the token of the Forbidden Dragon Guard, not only the officials in the court, but also scholars and even generals are extremely repulsive and disgusted by the Forbidden Dragon Guard, they just dare not speak out.

As long as a scholar gets involved with the Forbidden Dragon Guard, the reputation of being noble is gone. Fortunately, Zhan Feiyu is from a girl's family. Besides, she is young and far away from the capital. If she is a different scholar, she will definitely be squeezed out by other scholars isolated.

"Zibai, be careful!" Seeing that his second brother dared to ask anything, Xiao Zimo had no choice but to warn him.

Uh...Facing his elder brother's livid face, Xiao Zibai shrank his body, but he didn't dare to speak again, but the doubt on his face was still there.

Lord Yao didn't care about the entourage's impudence, "Don't scare Zibai, but you must not be so open-mouthed when you leave the door."

"Yes, my lord." Xiao Zibai responded immediately. Their Xiao family was also an official family back then, but unfortunately because their father was unwilling to join forces with others, they were finally hunted down and killed. Only the two brothers escaped from the Xiao family.

At that time, the two brothers were seven years old and the other five years old. In the end, they almost died under the sword of a killer, but they were accidentally saved by Master Yao at the critical moment.

In the blink of an eye, it has been 20 years. Although the two brothers are not yet [-] years old, they are already Lord Yao's most trusted confidantes. Otherwise, Xiao Zibai would not dare to be so presumptuous. Lord Yao is a lifesaver in their hearts, and is equivalent to a loving father.

Master Yao thought of Zhan Feiyu he saw in the government office during the day, and after pondering for a while, he said: "The Holy Majesty trusts Gu Xueshi, and Zhan Feiyu is just a girl, even if she is now taking the imperial examination, she will definitely not become an official. "

"Some things are inconvenient for the Forbidden Dragon Guards to come forward, but Zhan Feiyu is very suitable. The little girl is smart and has enough status to suppress the situation. Most people are so scruples that Gu Xueshi would not dare to kill easily."

But if another person comes over, it is estimated that the Marquis of Zhenbian killed him at the beginning. Yang Xu was trapped in Aozikou, and some people became frantic and dared to kill the old and weak, women and children.

"Forbidden Dragon Guards use her as a bait? Gu Xueshi doesn't care?" Shocked words blurted out, and Xiao Zibai felt a bit of sympathy in his heart. After all, she was just a little girl who was involved in the vortex of power disputes.

Xiao Zimo was about to be pissed to death by his stupid brother. Not only did Xiao Zibai have no talent for martial arts, but now he seemed to have no brains. Dare to climb?"

"I..." Xiao Zibai, who knew he was wrong, smiled dryly, and stood beside Master Yao, as if he didn't have to look at his elder brother's dark and terrifying face!

Ever since Zhan Feiyu appeared in Xiangwu County, Master Yao was surprised at that time. She was a little girl who went to Xiangwu County, and she must be going to the Yang family. Master Yao guessed that the Holy Majesty really planned to revive the General's Mansion .

Master Yao couldn't figure it out at that time, this was military power, how could Xueshi Gu let his young disciples get in touch with the general's mansion, wouldn't he be afraid of arousing the fear of the Holy One?None of the princes dared to fight for military power in the open.

Not to mention that when the Zhang family ordered a hundred households from the guard to go to Shitou Village, it was Zhan Feiyu who took out the token of the Forbidden Dragon Guard to scare them away, not only with military power, but also with the Forbidden Dragon Guard.

Gu Xueshi, Jinlongwei, and Bingquan all have relationships with Zhan Feiyu. Even now, Lord Yao has figured out the key to this.
