I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 424
Although Minhe Mansion is located in Longyou Road, it is far away from the border after all, so there are many merchants coming and going, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment under the rule of Yuan Zhifu.

Furthermore, with the Jin family in town, the local ruffians dare not form cliques, and there are no bandits around Minhe Mansion. Although the Jin family is a local snake, the Jin family's business is spread all over Longyou Road, and it is nothing to ordinary people. The influence, on the contrary, made the Jin family have a good reputation.

But today, the horse pulling the carriage in the market suddenly neighed, and then galloped like crazy.

"Get out of the way, startled horse!"

"Be careful, dodge and dodge..."

"The carriage is about to overturn, the people in front must go."

The noisy market exploded like water droplets poured into a frying pan, and the terrified passers-by tried their best to avoid it.

The small stalls on both sides of the market were knocked over by passers-by, but the stall owner didn't care about the things that fell on the ground at this moment, and hurriedly dodged to the side.

Half an hour ago.

In the carriage, Yao Zhenyi was flipping through the roster in his hand, maybe it was too easy, which made Yao Zhenyi couldn't help but doubt, "Nurse, do you think this roster is real or not?"

If it's true, then I won't talk about it. Once sent to the capital, Yao Zhenyi can imagine the benefits she can get; but if the roster is fake...

Grandma Cao is highly valued by Yao Zhenyi, and she takes care of the big and small affairs of the second bedroom, but even though she has served the nobles in the palace, she is actually just an illiterate old woman.

Glancing at Qiaoyun whose eyeballs were rolling around, Cao Mama's mean old face quickly flashed disdain again, and then she smiled and said to Yao Zhenyi.

"With the honorable status of the Young Madam, looking at the entire Minhe Mansion, who would dare to have trouble with the Young Madam, even the Grand Master values ​​the Young Madam very much, and the etiquette of the Jin family is more and more precious every time."

Hearing this, Yao Zhen laughed triumphantly, raised her chin, and closed the register on her lap with one hand, "If my grandmother hadn't passed away, the Yuan family wouldn't be qualified to marry me."

"That's right, the Elder Master must know this too, so he asked Mrs. Zhu to protect the matchmaker and let the young lady marry from the capital to Minhe Mansion." Mammy Cao flattered a few more words, and then she got to the point.

"That little girl Zhan Feiyu is just from the countryside. She has been valued by Gu Xueshi after her shit luck. Although she has the name of master and apprentice, Gu Xueshi doesn't care about her when she is far away in the capital. This girl is like a savage. Wandering outside, there is no manners at all, in the eyes of the old slave, the so-called master and apprentice are just names, but the little girl also has a bit of eyesight, presumably knowing the identity of the young lady, she immediately offered the roster with both hands, the old slave Guess she is trying to curry favor with the Young Madam."

"It's just a bluff, a fox pretending to be a tiger, just to deceive those people in Suzhou Prefecture." Yao Zhen snorted disdainfully, with a look of arrogance in her raised eyebrows, "I knew this girl was so useless, so I didn't have to let Hong Tao show up before." , the eldest aunt even ridiculed me for being troublesome."

"Young Madam, Zhan Feiyu has only been in Minhe Mansion for three days. Even if she wanted to fake it, she couldn't find a way out. This roster is true in the eyes of slaves. She dared not deceive Young Madam " Qiaoyun said unwillingly.

Seeing that Yao Zhenyi was in a good mood, Qiao Yun hurriedly poured a cup of tea and handed it over, "Young madam, please drink tea. The weather is hot and hot, and the second young master can only read books. The future of the Yuan family still needs young madam to take care of it."

Qiaoyun, this lowly maidservant!Taking advantage of Yao Zhenyi's time drinking tea, Cao Mama glared gloomyly at Qiao Yun, who was competing for favor.

Although the Young Madam relied heavily on her, but she was old after all, Qiaoyun took care of the Young Madam personally, and the Young Madam valued her a lot day by day, and sooner or later she would peel off the skin of this lowly maidservant!

Drinking tea moistened her throat, and Yao Zhen felt much better. As for the anger of being imprisoned in the mansion by Yuan Zhifu, it will dissipate a bit, "It's good that the roster is real. After returning to the mansion, let Dashan send it to the capital quickly. Let my father hand over to..."

Suddenly, the carriage jolted violently, and the three masters and servants in the carriage let out horrified screams. Before Mammy Cao angrily reprimanded the driver, the carriage was completely out of control.

A few figures hidden in the crowd quickly approached the galloping carriage, and one of them waved his right hand, but a few plum blossom darts were shot out.

The darts were poisoned, and there was a dark blue light shining in the sun. After the three darts hit the horse's back, the horse neighed in pain, raised its front hooves, and then fell to the ground with a bang.

As the horse fell to the ground, the carriage also rolled over and hit the ground.

"Do it!" In an instant, five or six figures stopped hiding and went straight to the damaged carriage.

It's too late, it's too late!A few more people flew out in the dark, and dozens of figures fought fiercely together in an instant. If he couldn't get close to the carriage, he must not let others get close.

The sound of sword clashing echoed in the street market, and blood splashed out, and the passers-by who were far away were shocked and dumbfounded.

In a short time, three corpses had fallen on the ground. Looking at the steed that was foaming at the mouth and twitching from time to time, the frightened passers-by backed up again and again, breaking out in a cold sweat in broad daylight.

The group of big men who followed Yao Zhenyi to Muxiangju also joined the battle. As for whether the three masters and servants in the carriage were alive or dead, no one cared at all.

The second floor of the teahouse.

"Jiuye, do you want our people to go down?" The young man in gray asked in a low voice, looking at the bloody fight downstairs, this is Minhe Mansion, these people want to take advantage of the chaos to snatch the roster, and they also want to look at the Jin family Promise or not.

With a teacup in one hand, Jin Jiuye leaned on the back of the chair, and looked downstairs through the window, "Don't be anxious, let alone whether this list is real or not, at least this list is in the carriage, and no one can take it away .”

The young man stopped talking, and after another half hour, the number of people fighting increased from a dozen to more than 20, and the number of corpses on the ground also increased by five.

"Jiuye, it's almost time. People from the yamen are probably coming over soon." The young man reminded, not to mention that the person sitting in the carriage was the second wife of the Yuan family. this opportunity.

Putting the teacup back on the table with a snap, Jin Jiuye stood up slowly, no wrinkles on his fair skin, but he looked amiable because of his smile, "This roster appeared in the Minhe prefecture, and no one can take it away! "

It doesn't matter whether it's the people who are fighting below, or Yuan Zhifu, who owns the roster, but as long as Jin Jiuye wants the roster, he can come back.

"This roster is of great importance. If someone steals it under the custody of Yuan Zhifu..." A malicious laugh sounded, and Jin Jiuye walked downstairs in a happy mood.

The young man was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward to follow, "Master Jiu is wise, this subordinate has been taught."

The horses were startled on Minhefu Street, and then there were unknown people fighting. The government soon got the news, just as Jin Jiuye guessed, Yuan Zhifu personally led people to rush over.

"Withdraw!" The faces of the group of people who were fighting were extremely gloomy. They had already understood the situation at this moment. Every time someone approached the carriage, there would be arrows shooting over to block it. It was obvious that there was a master hiding in the dark.

So as soon as the people from the Yamen appeared, the group of people who were fighting stopped fighting tacitly. Even if they were not reconciled at this moment, they could only retreat first. As for the roster, as long as they were in Minhe Mansion, they could find a way to get it again.

Yuan Zhifu's complexion turned extremely ugly, and he walked over the bloodstained carriage towards the scattered carriage not far away. As for the group of people who were evacuated, Yuan Zhifu knew very well why the poor should not chase after them.

"My lord, what is this?" The head catcher was stunned for a moment, and wiped his face fiercely. The carriage is actually from the residence of the lord. The people in the carriage?
Several police officers looked at Yuan Zhifu's face suppressing the monstrous anger, and their hands moved more quickly.

"My lord, they are still alive."

"My lord, the second young lady is also alive, but her right leg seems to be broken, and this face..."

Yao Zhen was lucky, she fell on Madam Cao when the carriage overturned, but even so her right leg was broken, and what was even more troublesome was that her face was covered with blood, probably because she was stabbed in the face by the wood of the carriage.

Yuan Zhifu took a look at Yao Zhenyi, who was seriously injured. He was still able to run out after being grounded.
