I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 402
Chapter 402

With the help of Mr. Chen and his servants, there were still two gray-haired old women who wanted to seek death, but they were stopped.

"Girl, these rascals have come prepared." Master Chen looked at a group of people who were coming on the dirt road not far away, and flattered Zhan Feiyu: "No one has notified these people that they are here. It’s not all calculated.”

The strong smell of blood wafted over with the wind, Zhan Feiyu was silent, his life was seventy years old, the old woman who was killed on the carriage shaft looked at least over 60 years old, probably knew that she would not live for a few years .

In addition, this field was really bought by Mr. Chen, and [-]% of the rent was suppressed. The whole family tightened their belts and couldn't get enough to eat. Silver, now that someone is killed, at least a few dozen taels of silver must be compensated.

Hearing the cries of a group of women beside her ears, Zhan Feiyu was not annoyed by the calculation, but she couldn't sympathize with the old woman who lost her life. She used one life to calculate and force herself to buy the piece Land, but aren't they worried that they will also charge [-]% of the rent like Master Chen?

"This?" Village Zheng and his group paused, looking at the old woman lying on the ground, a group of men couldn't help but turn red. Even though they had already prepared themselves, when they thought that they were still alive not long ago, now they are still alive. It became a corpse lying in a pool of blood, and no one felt comfortable.

"Mom!" A middle-aged man shouted in a hoarse voice, and knelt down on the ground with a plop.

The four children also knelt down, the oldest was no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, and the youngest was only three or four years old. They were held down by their mothers and knelt on the ground.

"Okay, okay, you don't need to act anymore." Master Chen sneered, walked over with a fat belly, and cast a disdainful glance at Muren, "Ma Cunzheng, you Niujiao Village's plan is really serious. Shrewd, let a dying old woman crash into a nobleman's carriage to coerce the girl to buy this field, and then rent it to you at a low price, I'm sorry, this old woman wanted to die by herself, so many eyes are staring at her."

Cunzheng blushed from being scolded, and he didn't dare to look at the corpse of the old woman on the ground, and he didn't dare to look at Zhan Feiyu beside him. If it wasn't for being forced to do nothing, who would seek death?It's not that he was forced to die.

"Okay, my master has already sent someone to notify the yamen, let's wait for the official to come." Master Chen snorted arrogantly, these mud legs are easy to calculate, but it's a pity that they are too stupid!

The people in Niujiao Village are calculating like this, and the clay figurines are still angry. Even if the little girl is kind and soft-hearted as they wish, the elders in the family will not agree. Taking a life for no reason is a stain. How can she marry in the future? A well-matched family?
Two quarters of an hour later, Butou Hu hurried over with his policeman. It is estimated that the yamen servant who reported the letter said that dozens of villagers from Niujiao Village had come, and Butou Hu was also worried that the villagers were agitated and killed , brought a full [-] policemen and yamen servants to rush over.

"Master Hu, you are the one who came here in person today." Master Chen greeted him with a smile on his face, thinking of getting close to Hu Butou.

Frowning suddenly, Hu Butou glanced at Master Chen who was approaching, and then at the villagers gathered not far away, and asked sharply, "You forced someone to death?"

It's no wonder Hu Butou would guess like this. Mr. Chen is rich and ruthless, and he is extremely harsh on the tenant farmers. Fortunately, he has money to manage, and the people who are squeezed and exploited are ordinary people, so generally the troubles will not be too serious. A homicide case is different.

"Master Hu, this matter has nothing to do with the grassroots. This is a purely innocent disaster." Master Chen hurriedly separated the relationship. Hu Butou is different from those ordinary policemen who take money and do things. If something really happened, Hu Butou Absolutely no favoritism.

Ignoring Mr. Chen, Hu Tuotou strode over, and then he saw Zhan Feiyu and the other four behind the crowd, and couldn't help being stunned, "Miss Zhan?"

Didn't it mean that Miss Zhan left Suzhou Mansion this morning, why is she still outside the city?Hu Butou glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the corpse lying on the ground, as well as the half-dried blood on the shaft of the car, he couldn't help being even more shocked.

If Mr. Chen forced someone to death, Catcher Hu would not be surprised. Every year during the summer harvest, Mr. Chen would always have some conflicts with the tenant farmers. The yamen has gotten used to it in the past few years, and the yamen will be sent over when the time comes. On the one hand, I don't want to cause trouble, but on the one hand, I want to get some money from Master Chen.

But if it is said that Zhan Feiyu is driving people to death, even though Hu Tuotou does not plan to have much contact with Zhan Feiyu, maybe the little girl whom Lord Yao treats favorably will drive people to death, Hu Tutou absolutely does not believe it.

The catchers and yamen servants who followed naturally knew Zhan Feiyu. He Nuan was imprisoned in the prison before. Don't dare to neglect.

A group of arresters clasped their fists and saluted, "Miss Zhan."

Zhan Feiyu nodded, and then said to Hu Butou beside him, "Hu Butou, you deal with the scene first."

It really has something to do with Miss Zhan, Hu Butou suppressed the doubts in his heart, and ordered to his subordinates: "Go back to the Yamen to inform Mr. Zhao, and then let Huang Wuzuo come over for an autopsy. You guys go to separate the villagers... "

Fortunately, there were enough policemen and yamen servants. More than 20 people walked over and separated the people in Niujiao Village far away, preventing them from touching the corpses until the clerk came over.

As for Mr. Chen and his family guards, Hu Butou also sent two yamen servants to watch over them.

After everything was arranged properly, Hu Butou walked towards Zhan Feiyu again, glanced at a few people who were still kneeling on the ground not far away from the corner of his eye, probably the children and grandchildren of the old woman, and then asked in a low voice: "Miss Zhan, what happened?"

Hu Butou had just checked the corpse roughly. The corpse was still warm and the blood hadn't completely dried up. It seemed that the old woman had been bumped to death on the shaft of the carriage.

In addition to the messy footprints on the dirt road, Hu Butou also noticed that the clothes of He Sheng and the coachman were a little messy, and the coachman still had scratches on the back of his hands and neck.

Looking at a few women whose eyes were red from crying, their clothes were also disheveled, and some buns were loose, as if there had been a conflict before.

"It was a disaster." Zhan Feiyu didn't hide it. He almost ran into a big cow when the carriage passed by in the morning. Later, he saw fresh shepherd's purse on the ridge of the field, so he planned to dig some shepherd's purse for spring freshness.

After Hu Butou heard the whole story, he couldn't explain it. These people in Niujiao Village saw that Miss Zhan was kind-hearted, so they wanted her to buy this field, but after being rejected, they forced her to die.

"The girl is troubled, this is really something a good person can't do." Hu Butou glanced at Mr. Chen not far away. This is the instigator. If Mr. Chen was not too black-hearted to charge [-]% of the rent, the people in Niujiao Village were forced to disappear. To survive, they would not force Miss Zhan to die.

"They're all poor." Zhan Feiyu echoed, fearing that this matter would not be easy, and there were pushers behind the scenes.

Although Hu Tutou was convinced of Zhan Feiyu's words, he still asked Master Chen as a matter of routine, and the results were almost the same.

Master Chen also heard the news and thought that someone was going to buy this land, so he immediately rushed over with a group of servants in a fierce manner.

"Master Hu, what is this girl's background?" Master Chen licked his old face and smiled, with a cautious look on his face.

"It doesn't matter what the background is, you definitely can't afford to offend." Hu Butou didn't bother to talk to Mr. Chen who was befriending him, but he sent someone to the yamen to report the news, and said in a deep voice: "You are lucky today, and you will be lucky in the future." If you restrain yourself a little, you should do good deeds and accumulate virtue.”

"The daughter of the official family?" Master Chen glanced at Zhan Feiyu in the sun. Regardless of his young age, he didn't change his expression when he saw the old woman was killed on the spot, because of this calmness, he must have a lot of background.

"Okay, don't inquire about what you shouldn't." Hu Butou dropped the words, and then walked towards the villagers of Niujiao Village. Looking at the group of people with patched clothes and yellow and thin faces, he couldn't help sighing. Noisy.

"Officer." After all, Ma Cunzheng had dealt with the yamen, and his attitude was respectful but not afraid at the moment, and these villagers shrank in fright when they saw the policeman in police uniform and carrying a big knife.
