I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 386
Commander Xie clearly wanted to protect Chu Qianshi, no, to be precise, he poured dirty water on Zhan Feiyu, and took Chu Qianshi out of the crime of ignoring the imperial court's appointment of officials and burning government offices.

Zhan Feiyu frowned slightly, looking at Commander Xie with a tough attitude, he thought about it.

He Nuan recalled the thrilling scene just now, if the lady hadn't stopped her, at the moment Commander Xie's horse was about to trample on the lady, he would have drawn his sword and killed the horse.

If this is the case, Commander Xie will have the reputation of taking the opportunity to make trouble again. Cutting and injuring the mount of the third-rank Commander, it is a misunderstanding at a small level, but what can be charged for attacking a court official? head warmer.

Thinking of it this way, He Nuan's eyes showed a bit of anger, "Miss, thank you for being kind."

Zhan Feiyu's face was calm, at least he didn't have He Nuan's worries and anger, and said in a low voice: "It's okay, the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it. If Mr. Xie wants to save Chu Qian, it depends on whether Mr. Yao will agree."

He Nuan nodded understandingly, and his expression returned to calm. Chu Qian had committed a crime. Although Lord Yao was responsible for negligence, the one who should be held accountable is Chu Qian's commander Shangfeng Xie.

What's more, Lord Yao has already convicted Chu Qian of the incident. Not only did he imprison him in the backyard of the government office, but he also ordered people to rush to the capital to report the matter. If Commander Xie overturned it in a few words, Lord Yao How should I deal with myself?
"Master Xie, Zhang Zhifu died unexpectedly. I reported the case to the imperial court, and the three divisions jointly investigated the case. However, Chu Qianshi arrested Zhan Feiyu for questioning without evidence, and even mobilized the soldiers of the guards to arrest him. Zhao Tongzhi and the others were only trying to stop them according to the law, and they were almost hacked to death by Chu Qianshi..."

Word by word, Mr. Yao spoke slowly. Master Yao has been an official for many years, and he has seen through Commander Xie's purpose at a glance. Unfortunately, it is not so easy for him to evade.

In the lobby of the Suzhou government office, the atmosphere suddenly became tense and dangerous. After Master Yao finished speaking, he ordered Zhao Tongzhi to bring over the file of the day. Except for the fact that Chu Qian had never signed or pledged in the file, the officials of the Suzhou government office, The police, including those soldiers who followed Sun Baihu, and even the people who watched and witnessed signed the confession.

As for the matter of Chu Qian, Mr. Yao did not torture to extract a confession, just to avoid being left behind. So many confessions are here, as well as those empty barrels containing tung oil, including the torch that was almost ignited that day, all these physical evidences are also available. It doesn't matter if there is any confession about Chu Qian's affairs.

Standing aside, Zhan Feiyu glanced at Commander Xie who was reviewing the confession, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but smile, Master Yao really acted thoughtfully.

A quarter of an hour later, with a bang, Commander Xie rudely closed the stack of confessions, and said in a rough voice: "Master Yao, you also know that I am a general, and I am most annoyed by these official statements. Your Excellency is the chief envoy of Longyou Dao, it doesn't matter if you have a confession or not."

Commander Xie almost didn't say clearly that Master Yao uses power to suppress people, and he can give any confession he wants. Could it be that the officials of the Suzhou government and the ordinary people dare to disobey Master Yao's order?

"My lord Yao, I intend to ask one thing clearly." Commander Xie changed the subject, turned his sharp and fierce eyes to Zhan Feiyu again, and asked directly: "Zhan Feiyu, although you are a scholar, you also have the reputation of a scholar. , but according to the laws of Daqing, a scholar does not pay homage to an official, and can receive rice grain from the court every month."

Scholars, farmers, businessmen!Although scholars are also scholars, they are the lowest class among scholars. Strictly speaking, they cannot reach the class of "scholars" unless they pass the provincial examination and get the honor of juren.

Zhan Feiyu patted He Nuan's hand reassuringly, and took two steps forward, "Responding to your lord's words, it's true, just now I heard your lord say that I'm a general, but I didn't expect my lord to know everything about scholars. "

Anger flashed quickly from Commander Xie's eyes. He knew that Zhan Feiyu was courageous, but he didn't expect a ten-year-old girl to be so courageous, daring to attack him with the spear of the son and the shield of the son.

Master Yao, who was sitting in the main seat, saw that Zhao Tongzhi and the others looked worried, and looked over, but told them to wait and see what happened.

Commander Xie made this person seem to outsiders to be rough and carefree, and he was usually too lazy to take care of things, but his martial arts skills were extraordinary, but Mr. Yao, who had dealt with Commander Xie, knew how cunning and cunning he was.

Zhan Feiyu was under the tutelage of Gu Xueshi, and Commander Xie wanted to give him a little bit of fluff, but Zhao Tong knew that if they dared to speak up, they would commit the crime above, and if Commander Xie caught him, he would definitely be punished heavily.

Lord Yao didn't speak, so Lord Zheng naturally remained silent.

Pulling the chair and sitting on the horse with the golden knife, Commander Xie looked arrogant, holding the saber in his right hand, "Little girl, you don't have to talk to me, I have no time to waste my words with you because of my busy schedule!"

"I want to ask you, Chu Qianshi is the official of the fourth-rank imperial court, responsible for investigating the death of Zhang Zhifu. You are just a young scholar. Chu Qianshi ordered the arrest, but you arrested him and even connived at the entourage. Little girl, do you know crime!"

The last four words were majestic and resounding like thunder in everyone's ears.

Commander Xie's words are not wrong. Unjust, false and wrong cases will also occur in the court, but they will be re-investigated and collected evidence later, and finally overturn the case.

Even though Chu Qian’s incident was unfounded, as an official of the third department, he did have the right to order Zhan Feiyu to be arrested. As for the wrong arrest and wronged Zhan Feiyu, this will be a matter of later, but Zhan Feiyu’s arrest Even to do it is a violation of the law.

Before Master Yao ordered the arrest of Chu Qian, it was obviously partial to Zhan Feiyu, but now Commander Xie blamed Zhan Feiyu on this point, which is reasonable and legal.

Seeing that Zhan Feiyu didn't speak, Commander Xie sneered arrogantly, "What? You were eloquent just now, now you have nothing to say?"

As soon as the words fell, the sound of the thud drum sounded, and someone outside the government office was beating the drum to express their grievances.

"Miss?" He Nuan glanced warily at Commander Xie, who looked hideous, such a vicious and cunning person, how could he look like an upright general!
Zhan Feiyu listened carefully, the voice of grievances was very strange, mixed with the cries of women, children and children.

"Boss Hu, go out and have a look, who is beating the drums and calling for grievances?" Master Yao said, and took a meaningful look at Commander Xie who was sitting on the chair, he was probably coming prepared.

Here Hu Butou just walked to the door, and with a huff, a dozen people rushed into the court, led by two gray-haired old men, and they were supported by two children, the oldest was only twelve or thirteen years old. The youngest is only six or seven years old.

A step behind was a crying woman, holding a smaller girl by the hand.

As for the remaining seven or eight people, except for a 50-year-old man, the rest are all 60-year-old and above. Their wrinkled faces all look alike, and they all seem to be related by blood.

What really caught Zhan Feiyu's attention was the person who was carried in by the four young men at the end. It was Sun Baihu who was supposed to be treated in the hospital, but this meeting was lying on the door panel without knowing the personnel, covered with a quilt, and his chest There was a slight recovery, otherwise, looking at Sun Baihu's pale face, he would have thought he was carrying a corpse.

"Please ask Master Qingtian to be the master of the grass people..." A hoarse cry sounded, and the old man in charge fell to his knees on the ground with a plop, and kowtowed to Master Yao who was in charge, "My lord, my youngest son wronged that... "

"May the Eldest Lord be the master!" Following the old man's words, the woman and the child also knelt on the ground and cried, and the rest of the people also knelt on the ground with a thump, shouting their grievances loudly, as if they really had a great deal injustice.

The Second Young Master Min sent someone to threaten Zhan Feiyu with Sun Baihu's badge before. Now Sun Baihu, his parents, wife and children are all kneeling in the lobby, and the rest should be the elders of the Sun family.

From this point of view, it was not arranged by Commander Xie, but by Second Young Master Min. Otherwise, how could all the members of the Sun family be summoned in such a short period of time.

"Zhan Feiyu, what do you have to say?" Commander Xie stood up, his right hand still on the hilt of the saber, and asked aggressively: "Sun Baihu was ordered to act, but you crippled his eyes and attacked him. Military officer of the guard, Zhan Feiyu, are you planning to rebel?"

"Master Xie, let's talk about the matter, you pass!" Master Yao said in a cold voice, looking displeased at Commander Xie, who was charged with arbitrary charges.

With Gu Qingzhou's protection, if his little disciple had an accident in the Suzhou government office, and Commander Xie couldn't be kind here, Master Yao would probably be angered.
