I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 478 Sophistry
Chapter 478

Wei Xiancheng took another look at Zhan Feiyu with a sarcastic and cold expression. It's not that it's not good to be jealous, but sometimes people have to bow their heads under the eaves.

"Since Miss Zhan is also a scholar, she must know what it means that when water is clear, there will be no fish, and when people observe it, there will be no disciples." Wei Cheng's words were somewhat helpless, but they were also sincere.

Regardless of the outcome of his trip, Mr. Zhu will not treat the little girl in front of him, but Wei Xiancheng is worried about Cheng Xianwei.

Even though her entourage is also a master, Cheng County Lieutenant also has a group of masters under his command, otherwise, how could it be possible to make Liu County so peaceful under the jurisdiction of the county government alone.

Zhan Feiyu raised his lips and sneered, "I don't see what I know, and I don't hear what I'm smart. It's not a righteous thing to be prepared for one person by exalting great virtues and pardoning minor faults. Collusion between officials and bandits is only a minor fault in the eyes of adults?"

Silence spread in the Accord, and Wei Xiancheng was dumb at the moment. As a scholar, he naturally thinks about etiquette, understands things, and distinguishes right from wrong.

But most of the time, he has to turn a blind eye, just like Wei Xiancheng has long been aware of all the illegal activities of Cheng Xianwei in private, let alone whether he has evidence, Zhu County magistrate against Cheng County lieutenant Even if Wei Xiancheng mentioned his trust, County Magistrate Zhu would not believe it.

However, once Wei Xiancheng offends Cheng County Lieutenant, he will be framed and dismissed from office, and at worst, he will lose his life and harm his family. It is difficult for Wei Xiancheng to bring down Cheng County Lieutenant without evidence, but Cheng County Lieutenant Conversely, it is easy to plant and frame.

Facing Shang Zhan Feiyu's clear eyes, Wei Xiancheng picked up the teacup and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, even the top-grade black tea had only a bitter taste in his mouth at this moment.

"I made a slip of the tongue, please forgive me." Zhan Feiyu is either black or black, white or white, a good man and a believer, but just saw Wei Xiancheng whitewashing Cheng Xianwei, which brought out some emotions for a while.

This time it was Wei Xiancheng's turn to be surprised. He thought she was a little girl who hated evil as much as hatred. She was enlightened by reading since she was a child and was taught by her elders, so she is a gentleman and magnanimous.

In contrast, as an official of the imperial court, he felt deeply ashamed, but Wei Xiancheng did not expect Zhan Feiyu to change the subject and apologize, "Miss Zhan is serious."

Perhaps it was because of this shallow conversation that Wei Xiancheng spoke again, less probing and more concerned, "Master Zhu wants to establish a relationship with the elders of the girl's family. How about the girl, but Cheng Xianwei has to guard against it."

County magistrate Zhu has this kind of generosity, and he also knows that Huang Baocai's death has nothing to do with Zhan Feiyu.

But as the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain!Wei Xiancheng is too aware of the methods of Cheng Xianwei. He will not come forward in person, but will secretly control the layout. As long as the Huang family comes to the county government to make trouble, Zhu County magistrate will have to openly hear the case. Fish are in dire straits.

Zhan Feiyu took the words, "If that's the case, please tell the magistrate Zhu, if I can clear up my injustice, the magistrate Zhu will naturally get what I want."

"Use the spear of the son to attack the shield of the son." Wei Xiancheng couldn't help laughing. The person Master Zhu wants to save, Cheng Xianwei can only do his best to clear Zhan Feiyu of the murder charge. Thinking of Cheng Xizhong's aggrieved The smile on Wei County Cheng's face deepened a little.

……

County magistrate Zhu was indeed "informal". After knowing Zhan Feiyu's attitude, the arresters who were guarding the Changxing Inn that day were removed.

In front of the window, watching the escaped arresters, He Nuan said, "Miss, do you really intend to do business with Magistrate Zhu?"

When it comes to the ability to earn money, my young lady is definitely a rare existence in the Daqing Dynasty, but the young lady has to study every day, and she only has a beauty makeup business in her hand, which is still under the name of Prince Yu's mansion. All the money was sent to the border as military pay.

So at this moment, He Nuan really couldn't think of what Zhan Feiyu would do to cooperate with Magistrate Zhu.

Still looking at the book in his hand, Zhan Feiyu said without raising his head, "As Magistrate Wei said, when the water is clear, there will be no fish. Looking at the Daqing Dynasty, Magistrate Zhu can at least be regarded as a good official."

The people in Liuxian live in a prosperous life, and there are almost no bandits in the jurisdiction of Liuxian. All of this is also due to the county magistrate Zhu. As for his reuse of Cheng Xianwei, it can only be said to be a small fault. Pulling out this cancer will be enough. up.

"Tonight, we'll have the Boxia offering, just slightly spicy." When Zhan Feiyu thought of hot pot, the glutton in her stomach seemed to be revived, and she wanted to put down the book and go to hot pot right now.

People in Qianzhong Road love spicy food, and the dishes here are the same. Unless it is sweet food, even stir-fried seasonal vegetables should be added with some chili peppers to enhance the taste. Let Zhanfeiyu, who can't eat spicy food, not be hungry.

But if you eat clear soup, it's fine. If you eat spicy food, He Nuan has to worry that Zhan Feiyu will feel unwell.

"It's okay, I'll add some vinegar to the bowl to make it spicy." Zhan Feiyu hurriedly added a few words, looking at He Nuan pitifully with wide-open black eyes, "If it doesn't work, I'll cook it with clear soup before eating."

He Nuan is kind by nature, even though she has a heart of stone, she can't bear to face her young lady's pleading face, "I will go to the kitchen to prepare."

……

On the other side, Wei Xiancheng went to see Zhu County Magistrate as soon as he returned to the county office.

Zhu County Magistrate and others were also a little anxious. There are many merchants in Liuxian County, but they are all small merchants. If you want to improve Liuxian County, not to mention cooperating with Huangshang, at least it shouldn't be too far behind.

"My lord, live up to your trust."

Wei Xiancheng's opening made Zhu Xiancheng laugh, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Wei Xiancheng to salute.

"Zizhang, you don't need to be too polite, please explain it to me in detail." Magistrate Zhu was in a good mood. Although threatening a little girl might not be on the table, but for the sake of the people of Liu County, even if he used some untimely means, it was a last resort. .

"Miss Zhan is young, but her actions are impeccable. She..." Wei Xiancheng quickly recounted the situation at that time. Zhan Feiyu agreed to cooperate, but the premise was to clear himself of the murder charge.

Frowning suddenly, County Magistrate Zhu went to the table and sat down, and said in a deep voice, "So Zizhang has been gone for half an hour, but she didn't find out where she came from?"

"My lord, I heard Cao Sheng mention it before, and Zhan Feiyu mentioned the Qiu family." Wei Xiancheng also knew that Zhu County magistrate would be dissatisfied.

But if Zhan Feiyu agrees easily, maybe the adults will doubt whether the other party is a tactic to delay the attack in order to get rid of the crime, and the cooperation conditions will be more credible.

When mentioning the Qiu family in Qianzhong Road, anyone would think of the chief minister, Mr. Qiu, but according to Zhan Feiyu's speech and behavior, the magistrate Zhu judged that she was more like a family of a wealthy merchant, which made the magistrate Zhu look pale. He was even more dignified, "If it's the third bedroom of the Qiu family?"

Chief Minister Qiu is a direct branch of the Qiu family. The Qiu family is a century-old family and official family in Qianzhong Road, but the third house is the scum of the Qiu family. Mr. Qiu personally played the imperial court to plead guilty.

Sanfang is a collateral lineage, but it is rumored that Sanfang used the name of the Qiu family to amass money wantonly, inquired about news from the barbarians, planted spies everywhere, was related to the Qiu family, and was engaged in business, so the county magistrate Zhu could be blamed Think of the third bedroom of the notorious Qiu family.

County magistrate Zhu said again in a deep voice: "She came all the way from Jiangnan Road, so it was inconvenient to get news on the way, and besides, the elders of the family should know about such a big event, maybe she didn't even know that the third house of the Qiu family had been arrested. prison."

Thinking of Zhan Feiyu's calm and calm attitude, Wei Xiancheng couldn't help but defend her a few words, "Sir, even if you don't know about it on the road, after entering the border of Qianzhong Road, as long as she sends someone to inquire, she must know about it. It is impossible to tell the news about Sanfang's accident in front of the police."

Nowadays, those who are related to the third house of the Qiu family want to hide it, lest they will be affected and affected, and who will speak out in public.

If it has nothing to do with Sanfang, but has something to do with other members of the Qiu family, then taking this road will definitely benefit Liu County and not cause any harm.

After thinking about it, County Magistrate Zhu thought about the case of the Huang family. After all, the little girl was wronged, "Forget it, let Xizhong handle this case."

"Your Excellency is wise." Naturally, Wei Xiancheng would not have any objections. This case was originally brought up by Cheng County, so it would be reasonable for him to go to solve the case.
