I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 374
Although Zhan Feiyu was not injured, he couldn't leave the Suzhou government office for the time being. Master Yao ordered two rooms to be cleaned up in the back house of the government office for Zhan Feiyu to live in temporarily.

"Miss, my lord asked this old slave to bring it here. If there is anything missing, please tell me." The woman who was speaking brought a few maidservants along with the charcoal basin and tea set quickly.

This room was originally used by the government to entertain officials from other places who came on business, and everything is available. It is no different from the upper room of the inn, but it is not as good as the room that He Nuan arranged for Zhan Feiyu. Fortunately, It's okay to take a break for two days.

He Sheng checked the delivered items and made sure there was nothing wrong with them, so he poured hot water and brought them over, "Master Yao, this is just in case."

It is normal for Mr. Yao to be worried about Chu Qian's crazy behavior regardless of his affairs. If he came back an hour and a half later today, this mansion would be burned down by Chu Qian's affairs.

Warming his hands with a warm teacup, Zhan Feiyu went through what happened just now in his mind, "Ah Sheng, do you think Chu Qian is really reckless in his actions, or does he have other intentions?"

He Sheng was taken aback. Although he was born in the Forbidden Dragon Guard, he only kept Zhan Feiyu safe on weekdays. By the way, he contacted the Forbidden Dragon Guard to exchange information. Confused by Zhan Feiyu's question, "Miss, are you saying that Chu Qian did it on purpose?"

Zhan Feiyu nodded, and expressed his guess, "Longyou Dao's military power has returned to the Yang family. Although Pang Tongzhi has connections with the palace, even if he was promoted to the prefect of Suzhou, he was only a fourth-rank official. The power of Longyou Dao is still in Master Yao's hands, and he is also the Holy Majesty's confidant."

So no matter which prince wants to intervene in Longyou Dao's affairs, there is almost no possibility of success, whether it is military power or government affairs, they will not be able to reach out if they want to.

"That's why Chu Qian's incident almost killed Zhao Tongzhi and the others, and even set fire to the government office." He Sheng understood it now. Concubine Min, she shouldn't act so arrogantly.

"Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is aimed at Peigong." Zhan Feiyu lowered his head and drank the warm tea, but there was a mocking coldness on his delicate face, "Since Chu Qian dared to plot against Master Yao, A Sheng, After a while you go to Master Yao, Qian Shipeng is dead, and Ah Nuan should be back."

"Yes." He Sheng responded immediately.

During the few days when He Nuan was away, Zhan Feiyu had many inconveniences.

……

On the other side, Master Yao asked Master Zheng to comfort the injured Zhao Tongzhi and the others, while he went back to the study.

"My lord." Xiao Zibai greeted him from the study, motioned his younger brother to go to the kitchen to get some food, and followed Master Yao into the study.

"Please tell me the details of what happened before." His brows were full of exhaustion. Although Lord Yao left with Lord Zheng before, he left Xiao Zibai behind, so he must be clear about the conflict during the day.

Xiao Zibai immediately took Zhan Feiyu to the government office in a carriage, but was sent by Chu Qianshi to the court and began to talk.

After Xiao Zibai finished speaking, Master Yao frowned and pondered for a long time, and the study was quiet until Xiao Zimo came over with a food box, and then Master Yao asked: "That means Chu Qian is really planning to do something to Zhan?" Not a fish killer?"

"Yes, my subordinates could see clearly at the time that Chu Qian couldn't attack for a long time, so he frantically attacked Zhao Tongzhi and the others in order to restrain Miss Zhan. If Zhao Tongzhi and their safety were not concerned, Miss Zhan would not have retreated to the mansion. In the hall of the yamen." Xiao Zibai has been hiding in the dark, he was shocked at the time, Zhao Tong knew that they were all officials ordered by the court, but seeing Chu Qian's crazy appearance, he really planned to burn the government yamen.

"My lord, is Chu Qian crazy? Don't say that the second prince is only in the official department now. Even if the second prince is established as the crown prince, Gu Xueshi is a cabinet scholar, the first scholar in the world, and he was born in the Nanling Gu family. Zhan Feiyu still has the Token of Forbidden Dragon Guard in his hand, if something happens to her, Chu Qian will not pay for ten lives."

It's no wonder that Xiao Zimo was so shocked. When he was young, he was with Lord Yao and was taught to read and write. Although he is a young boy now, his knowledge and vision are three points better than ordinary children from poor families.

…Master Yao snorted disdainfully, "Although I don't know what benefits the palace has promised Chu Qian, but he is just a flag that can be discarded at any time. What the palace has to deal with is the official, and Zhan Feiyu is just an extra. head."

"What?" Brothers Xiao Zibai and Xiao Zimo said in shock at the same time, but in the end this matter is going to be calculated on the adults?
Lord Yao couldn't help laughing, and explained to the two brothers: "This official is the chief envoy of Longyou Dao. In broad daylight, the officials of Suzhou Prefecture were killed and the government office was burned. If the charge of negligence is deducted, even if I am not imprisoned, I will probably be relegated to a barren land by the Holy Majesty to become a small official."

Once Mr. Yao commits a crime, the position of chief minister of Longyou Road will be vacated. If it is done properly, the newly appointed chief secretary may belong to a certain prince. This move is not subtle, but Enough is enough.

"Extremely shameless!" Xiao Zimo was an impatient person, and he cursed even more furiously. Whoever let the other party plot against him was his savior, not to mention Master Yao has been an official for many years, and he is indeed a good official who loves the people like a son.

As for the matter of Chu Qian, it is just like Master Yao said that it is just a pawn, and it can be discarded if it works. When the matter of Chu Qian is silenced, there is no way to continue investigating this matter.

The anger returned, but Xiao Zimo did not forget that Master Yao only ate half a pancake at noon, "The fish noodles are still hot, sir, eat some padding first."

Picking up the chopsticks, Master Yao looked at the delicious fish noodles and couldn't help but say, "I'll give you an order later, so the people below don't neglect Ms. Zhan."

"I'm going to explain it right now." Xiao Zimo is full of affection for Zhan Feiyu, if she hadn't stopped Chu Qian from killing innocent people indiscriminately, the adults probably wouldn't be in the mood to eat noodles.

Seeing Xiao Zimo leaving in a hurry, Lord Yao shook his head, "Zibai, do you think Zhan Feiyu saw through Chu Qian's intentions today or is he kind-hearted?"

"Miss Zhan dared to break out from an army of [-] barbarians with her entourage and go to Aozikou to rescue Young Master Yang. Her firmness must not be comparable to that of ordinary girls." Xiao Zibai recalled the front of the Bairi Mansion "In the chaos at that time, Sun Baihu coveted Miss Zhan's jewelry, but Miss Zhan's eyes were crippled with a sword."

Therefore, in Xiao Zibai's eyes, Zhan Feiyu must not be a good person, but she is not a beast like Chu Qian who cares about human life when she helps Zhao Tongzhi and others.

"Her maid is still locked in the prison. No matter what, I owe this favor to you. Zibai, go find Zhao Tongzhi later. Since the plaintiff, Qian Shipeng, is dead, the maid should be released." Master Yao also said the same. He is a lonely official, but he has no contacts or friendship with Gu Xueshi.

Before Chu Qian took action, Master Yao originally planned to be impartial and not to help each other, otherwise he would not leave the city today, as long as the water in Suzhou is muddied, those people will surface.

It's a pity, now, Lord Yao has to rely on Xueshi Gu's side. Since the prince in the palace dared to plot against his head, a cold light flashed in Lord Yao's eyes. The emperor is getting old, and the princes are all grown up. I'm afraid it's not that easy to be a lone minister.Vote for me with a peach, and give me Qiongyao.

Before He Sheng went to find Lord Yao, He Nuan had already been released, which made Zhan Feiyu laugh, "It's good to be back, Ah Nuan, your salute is still in the inn, why don't you go back and wash up before coming here .”

"Yes." He Nuan agreed, and looked at the guest room of the mansion again, planning to bring over Zhan Feiyu's usual things later, "Miss, how long do we need to stay here?"

If the time is short, that's fine. If the time is long, He Nuan intends to bring all the salutes. It's safer to live in the Fuya Inn with the frenzied Chu Qian outside.

Zhan Feiyu estimated that Qian Shipeng's case would take some time to investigate, and he was expected to leave within ten days. Thinking of this, Zhan Feiyu looked up at He Sheng and said, "Find out how the osmanthus got into Qian Shipeng's hands." , there must be an arrester from the government office as the internal response."

After Pang Tongzhi was imprisoned, Zhao Tongzhi immediately sent people to surround the Pang Mansion, and in addition to the people of the Forbidden Dragon Guard, there were other forces that were staring at the Pang Mansion. His eyes sneaked into Pang's mansion, so the osmanthus grass could only be brought in by the people of the government office by taking the opportunity to guard Pang's mansion.
