I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 483

No matter how hysterically Dong Guizhi yelled, Zhan Feiyu still did not agree to compensate the Dong family, and took He Nuan out of the prison with a cold expression.

After sending Zhan Feiyu outside, Wei Xiancheng said in a low voice: "Ms. Dong pleaded guilty voluntarily. Others can't save her, and the girl doesn't have to blame herself."

This is one willing to fight and one willing to suffer. If Cheng Xianwei tortured and tortured to extract a confession, Wei Xiancheng might still take care of it, and Zhu County Magistrate would not ignore it.

But the fact is that Dong Guizhi pleaded guilty for the sake of the Dong family and for Dong Jizu's younger brother. No one can save her.

Wei Xiancheng guessed that if he intervened, Cheng Xizhong would definitely push the case to him to investigate. Not only would he offend County Magistrate Zhu, but if the real culprit could not be found out, he would even get a bad name of incompetence.

Zhan Feiyu looked up at the majestic and solemn government office in front of him, and smiled coldly, "Magistrate Zhu, as a parent official, let him do whatever he wanted. I'm just an ordinary person passing by Liu County, so why should I blame myself?"

The little girl's words are strong enough!

Wei Xiancheng was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhan Feiyu who had a cold expression in his eyes. He was obviously childish, but his sharp words were like an old fox in the officialdom.

"I'm sorry to trouble you today, please leave." Zhan Feiyu said a few words before leaving.

The saying that the water is clear and there will be no fish is indeed suitable for officialdom, but when they really met, Zhan Feiyu found that he was a little bit uneasy after all.

Watching the carriage leave slowly, Wei Xiancheng turned around and walked into the court.

As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw the plaque in the middle of the "Mirror Hanging High". Wei Xiancheng suddenly understood the irony in Zhan Feiyu's words. Master Zhu knew that this was an unjust, false and wrong case but remained indifferent. The official uniform of the master.

Looking down at himself who was also dressed in an official robe, Wei Xiancheng was silent for a long while and smiled embarrassingly with the corners of his mouth curled up. Why isn't he like this?

All the officials in Liu County are not worthy of wearing this official uniform!
……

The Changxing Inn is not far from the county government office, and the business of the inn has resumed in the past few days. As soon as the carriage here stopped at the entrance of the inn, the sharp-eyed shopkeeper immediately greeted him with hospitality.

"I'm really sorry, girl, but the carriage broke down and got stuck in the back alley, and the horse has a strong temper." The shopkeeper hurriedly bowed to apologize.

The one who checked in in the morning was Mr. Hu, a merchant from out of town, with three carriages full of goods, who knew that the last carriage was broken.

The shopkeeper asked the staff to help lead the horses to the stables in the backyard, and then move the broken carriage away, without delaying the entry and exit of other guests' carriages.

Who knew that the horse seemed to be crazy, not to mention the innkeepers, even Mr. Hu's coachman couldn't touch it, the horse would go crazy when the rein was moved.

The carriage was loaded with fragile porcelain. The horse went crazy and dropped the goods. Even the porcelain inn worth several hundred taels could not afford it.

In the end, he could only waste his time like this, let the carriage continue to block the back alley, and wait for the horse to be hungry to eat before leading the horse, maybe it will be done.

He Sheng jumped out of the carriage with ease, "You are welcome, the shopkeeper, but where is the carriage parked?"

The entrance of the inn is a bustling street. It is okay to stop the carriage for a short time, but it is impossible to park the carriage in front of the inn for a long time.

Seeing that He Sheng was so talkative, the shopkeeper also breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "I have agreed with the shopkeeper Bai of the cloth village next to me that the carriage can be temporarily parked in the backyard of the cloth village, and I have to trouble the little brother to walk forward. , the fifth shop is cloth shop."

Zhan Feiyu and He Nuan also got out of the carriage.

Bu Zhuang was not far away, so He Sheng led the carriage there first.

"It's sunny outside, please come inside, girl, today the kitchen has cooked mung bean soup, girl can drink a bowl to cool off the heat." The shopkeeper warmly greeted Zhan Feiyu to come in, this is a nobleman who is not short of money.

Although the business was delayed for a few days before, Zhan Feiyu gave ten taels of silver as compensation, and the Yamen also sent ten taels of silver. Live here for five days.

Two quarters of an hour later, all the dishes ordered were delivered, and He Sheng and He Nuan also sat down at the table without paying too much attention when they were away from home.

"Miss, when are we going to Qianzhong Mansion?" He Sheng asked. As for what happened in Liu County, He Sheng couldn't comment on Zhu County Magistrate's actions.

It is said that he is a stupid official, but the county magistrate Zhu has indeed benefited the people of one side, allowing the people in Liu County to eat and drink without worrying about food and drink. Compared with the people in other state capitals, they are much richer.

But if he is a good official, He Sheng thinks of Dong Guizhi in the cell, Huang Baocai who was poisoned to death, and those kidnappers who dared to break into the inn at night and collude with the police. Honest and good officials.

The action of picking up vegetables paused, and Zhan Feiyu glanced at the passers-by outside the window, "If the people of Liu County know that we are going to deal with Zhu County Magistrate, I am afraid that the four of us will not be able to get out of the border of Liu County."

So what if Dong Guizhi was wronged?That was also her voluntary "confession". Although Huang Baocai was a child, it was not County Magistrate Zhu who killed him.

To the people of Liu County, it was just two strangers who died, but Magistrate Zhu made them eat and drink enough to earn money. If you dare to deal with Magistrate Zhu, you would be an enemy of all the people in Liu County.

"After County Magistrate Zhu was dismissed, who can guarantee that the next county magistrate will be an upright official who loves the people like a son?" He Nuan also echoed.

County magistrate Zhu can only say that there is a mixture of good and bad, and the real perpetrators are Cheng Xianwei and those arrests, including the kidnapper who is now missing.

Zhan Feiyu looked at He Nuan in a little surprise, and He Sheng did the same. Although he was born in the Forbidden Dragon Guard, He Sheng seems to be right and wrong. Cheng Xianwei dared to ignore human life, and that was the connivance of Zhu County Magistrate As a result, County Captain Cheng deserves to die, and County Magistrate Zhu is also to blame.

"During this journey, apart from some places in Jiangnan Road, there are few people who are richer than those in Liu County. Magistrate Zhu attaches great importance to merchants, and the people's lives are rich. If someone in the family is sick, they have money to seek medical treatment. If they are put in other places I guess I can only stay at home and wait to die." He Nuan thought it was a choice between saving one person and saving a hundred people, and the county magistrate Zhu gave up one person, but saved hundreds of people.

Just as He Sheng was about to speak, he caught sight of a couple standing at the door of the inn from the corner of their eyes. Their clothes were patched. At first glance, they looked like the most ordinary people. Jing Guang, this is obviously looking for someone.

After recognizing the two, He Sheng said in a low voice, "Miss, those are Dong Guizhi's parents."

Zhan Feiyu put down the bowl and chopsticks and turned around, only to see that the Dong family and his wife had already walked towards him quickly.

Sweeping the calculating look on their faces, the couple looked distressed, "Girl..."

"The shopkeeper." Zhan Feiyu spoke first, looked at the shopkeeper who heard the sound, and said coldly: "Irrelevant people disturbed my meal, shopkeeper, you still don't drive them out!"

The Changxing Inn is not a restaurant and restaurant, and the guests who eat in the lobby are all the guests of the inn. It seems that Dong Jia and his wife are so poor that they cannot afford to live in an inn.

The shopkeeper who trotted over first apologized to Zhan Feiyu, then looked at the Dong family and his wife, but did not chase them away immediately, "Are the two guest officials going to stay in the shop? There are still a few rooms left, and the sincerity is [-]." One night."

"We don't live in the store, we're looking for someone." Dong's mother hurriedly said, this inn is just stealing money, Gui Zhi's wages are only one or two taels of silver a month in Meirenzhuang, and the wages for three days are not enough to stay here for one night without eating or drinking .

The shopkeeper smiled and continued: "Are those two going to eat? This lobby is already full, you two might as well go out and find another restaurant."

"We're looking for someone." Dong's mother spoke again, looking straight at Zhan Feiyu, tears streaming down her face, and she was sobbing in grief.

Dong's father also had a look of pain on his face, "Shopkeeper, our husband and wife are here to find this young lady."

"Miss, you are the little fairy boy that Guanyin sat down, I beg you to save my poor daughter." Kneeling down in front of Zhan Feiyu with a plop, Mother Dong begged in tears, "Gui Zhi was wronged." , Miss, can you do me a favor..."

Although Dong's father didn't kneel down, his painful expression also showed that he was reluctant to part with Dong Guizhi who was imprisoned.

The other diners in the lobby were stunned for a moment, and looked over with unison, assuming that this is a wealthy daughter bullying ordinary people.
