I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 484 Pleading

Dong's mother knelt on the ground crying and trembling. Although Dong's father is a man who can control his emotions, his eyes are red. At first glance, he thought that the couple loved their daughter so much, so they did not hesitate to treat this little girl in public. Kneeling and begging again.

The diners in the lobby put down their chopsticks now, and someone asked in a low voice, "Didn't you say that Liuxian County is very safe, with doors closed at night and lost items on the road, how come there are such wicked people who oppress the common people?"

Those who live in the Changxing Inn are all merchants who come to Liu County to do business. They also heard that Liu County has low business taxes and excellent public security. In addition, there is ample supply of goods here, so small businesses from south to north come here to do business.

The guests who checked in two days earlier also heard about the murder case that happened in Liu County these days. The guest explained: "This matter has to start with a murder case a few days ago..."

After a long while, the guests at several tables who were listening attentively showed shock.

"Just because of the honesty of this couple, their daughter dares to inject perspiration to kill someone?" The middle-aged fat man shook his head. There is obviously something strange about this case.

The man in the blue robe at the same table showed his face, and deliberately lowered his voice, not wanting outsiders to hear his words, "Such unjust, false and wrongly decided cases are not uncommon. It is true, and the prisoner has already signed the signature, and after the approval of the prosecutor, he will be executed in autumn, and the case will be closed once the murderer dies."

They are all merchants, and they open shops and do business on weekdays. Isn't it the same? If they don't take care of the officials in the government, can this business continue?

Let’s not talk about it far away, let’s just say that those street ruffians come to your shop every now and then to make trouble, how can any customer dare to come to your shop?Even if it was reported to the government, it's just a few rascals, who were released after a few boards, repeated several times, and this shop can only be closed down.

"But this is a human life, and the one who died was a child." Someone said with a frown. As the saying goes, there is a way to steal. They also have some tricks that can't be put on the table in business, and they have done things to bully the people, but human life is reckless. They really dare not do such a thing.

A chuckle sounded, and it was the fat man who was talking at the beginning. He was in the fabric business, so he could tell at a glance that Zhan Feiyu had a lot of background, "Look at that little girl's plain dress, let me tell you what yours is." A wagonload of goods can't afford her dress."

"What?" The exclamation sounded at the same time, and the people at the tables who got closer all stared in surprise, and looked over at the same time thinking about Zhan Feiyu.

Different from those wealthy daughters or ladies from aristocratic families they have met before, Zhan Feiyu not only has plain clothes, but also does not have any expensive and luxurious hairpins and hairpins in his hair. In addition, He Sheng and He Nuan's dress is also simple, which is very attractive. They were the most common cotton clothes, so they really didn't realize how expensive Zhan Feiyu's clothes were.

The black-faced merchant who was named said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Liu, I can't get my truck without 300 taels of silver."

Liu Shangjia laughed again, and said, "The fabric is the most precious floating brocade among brocades. It's not a matter of money at all, but you can't buy it with money. Unless this girl is from an imperial merchant, she can't buy it." Judging by her demeanor, she looks more like a child of a family with profound background."

Scholars, farmers, businessmen!The imperial merchants are not short of money, and this dynasty is not as harsh on merchants as in the previous dynasty. Brocades can only be worn by dignitaries, but merchants are humble after all. Clearly offend someone?
So except for a few big imperial merchants, other large and small merchants acted very low-key. As for those fools who wished to wear gold, silver and jewelry on their bodies to show off, this business would not be big or last long.

Seeing that everyone was dubious, Liu Shangjia revealed another news, "I heard that Wei Xiancheng personally came to the inn to meet this little girl. At that time, this little girl was a top-grade cardinal."

Although Wei Xiancheng's rank is only eighth, but he is also an official of the court. A daughter of a merchant can make Wei Xiancheng bow down?

"I also mentioned a few words to the inn clerk. This girl also brought a bookcase when she lived in the inn, and she was reading every day before dawn, and she was still writing articles and doing homework in the middle of the moon. The desks in the room were piled up. Books are half the height of a person."

As soon as the words came out, everyone immediately believed them. They were not short of money, so naturally they also wanted their children to study in the imperial examinations and change families in the future, but their son didn't pay attention to his studies and needed strict discipline.

As for the daughter, it's even worse. I also invited a female teacher, but I only practice calligraphy, and read poems and songs, just to cultivate my sentiments. It is absolutely impossible to read like this.

Unless this is a scholarly family and a family of officials, how can the upbringing of women be so strict. This kind of study is to marry a girl as a man and raise it. In this way, it is normal to see that Zhan Feiyu only has two entourages around him. Otherwise, which daughter of the family would not come out and embrace, and the maidservant would follow seven or eight to serve.

……

As far as the tricks of the Dong family and his wife were concerned, Zhan Feiyu didn't pay any attention to them anymore, and continued to eat lunch slowly, with He Sheng standing aside, they didn't have the guts to make trouble at all.

Looking at Dong's mother who was still kneeling on the ground and begging, the shopkeeper was embarrassed. If this girl was kind, Wang Baotou and the others wouldn't have their legs broken and thrown down from the second floor.

"Girl." Mother Dong really couldn't bear it any longer, whether she sympathized with them or drove them away outrageously, at least she had a clear attitude, but Zhan Feiyu didn't take them seriously at all, and Mother Dong didn't know what to do. continue.

He Sheng glanced at Dong's father sharply, and said in a cold voice: "If you think Dong Guizhi was wronged, you can go to the county government to beat drums and complain. If the county magistrate Zhu refuses to accept it, you can also go to Qianzhong government to complain. Today is the day of your husband and wife. Even if you kneel down and die here, it has nothing to do with my young lady."

"When Caomin visited the prison, my family Gui Zhi said that she was wronged, she was blamed by others, miss, you can't wrong my daughter like this!" Father Dong bit the bullet and finished speaking, then turned to look at the other people in the lobby. The guest knelt down with a plop.

"Grassmen have no rights and power, please be kind and save my poor daughter. Grassmen kowtow to you masters. In the next life, Caomin will repay you masters." Father Dong slammed his head heavily on the ground, The hoarse and helpless begging was moving.

It's a pity that no matter how sad or rascal he said, the merchants present were indifferent, and no one spoke up.

If they hadn't deduced the identity of the little girl, they might still say a few words of justice, but the girl's clothes are worth hundreds of taels of silver, and they are just merchants, so how dare such a disaster be brought to them? court death.

The lobby was completely quiet, which made the Dong family and his wife a little dumbfounded. They were all in such a miserable state, and everyone who kowtowed was bleeding. Could it be that no one stood up?
Even if they dare not deal with the little girl, at least they sympathize with the couple. It would be nice to give some money. After all, these masters are not short of money. A hotel and a meal cost a few taels of money. So what if you give them alms?They are all so miserable, their daughters were all wronged to death.

The shopkeeper's inn is doing business from south to north. Although the Dong family and his wife are shrewd, the shopkeeper can see through this calculation at a glance, and said angrily: "Okay, you and your wife don't kneel, it's really wronged." Just go to the yamen to cry for grievances, and talk nonsense without evidence, and you are not afraid that the messenger will send you to the prison?"

This is wrong!The Dong family couple kneeling on the ground lowered their heads and looked stiff and ugly. They obviously found out that the little girl went to the Huang family in the morning and gave the Huang family ten taels of silver.

Afterwards, I went to see Guizhi in the prison, which showed that the little girl was kind-hearted, why the couple's crying voices became hoarse, and she was as stubborn as an iron rooster!I have never seen such a stingy rich man.

The shopkeeper had seen Zhan Feiyu's indifference for a long time, and took a look at the Dong family couple who couldn't get off the stage, and asked the staff to pull them up forcefully, and then dragged them out of the inn.
