I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 498 The Night Visit
At night, Changxing Inn.

Standing at the window, He Nuan looked away, "Miss, there are at least twenty masters outside, and they should all be desperadoes."

Since Sister-in-law Hong and Lao Wu who were imprisoned in the cell were able to be released, and the traffickers with broken legs in the medical center also escaped, He Sheng got in touch with the Forbidden Dragon Guard. .

Not to mention twenty or so desperadoes, even the dead soldiers trained by the Jiao family, as long as the young lady gives an order, they can be arrested immediately.

Under the bright light of the candle, Zhan Feiyu was still sitting at the table writing. The scent of ink mixed with the smell of incense wafted in the room, which made people feel peaceful inexplicably.

"Jiao's family is a family of officials after all, Mr. Jiao dare not do anything openly." Zhan Feiyu was really not worried.

Even if it was aimed at him, these people from the outside world would only act as a deterrent. If they really dare to kill people in the inn, the third division of Qianzhong Road is not a vegetarian.

He Nuan nodded, listening to the footsteps outside the door, and after a while, there was a rhythmic knock on the door.

"Go, let Mr. Jiao sit in the private room for a while." Zhan Fei said without raising his head, and continued to finish the unfinished article without looking up.

There was a creaking sound, and the sound of the door opening was particularly abrupt in the quiet night, He Nuan blocked the door, "It's almost three quarters, and the eldest son came to visit late at night?"

Ignoring He Nuan who was questioning, Mr. Jiao looked into the room coldly. The layout of the inn's room was simple, and one could see Zhan Feiyu sitting in front of the desk at a glance.

Not to mention the books piled up on the table, but just the fragrance of ink, he knew that Zhan Feiyu studied hard, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was Han Chuang who studied hard.

"Miss Zhan is really hardworking." A mocking voice sounded. Looking at Zhan Feiyu, Mr. Jiao couldn't help but think of his second brother who was also studying hard at home. He was also talented in reading, but he was still so hardworking. .

Zhan Feiyu was a little girl who was still immersed in her studies at the end of her life, and Mr. Jiao felt unspeakable awkwardness and weirdness in his heart. There must be no males in the unknown Zhan family, so he treated a little girl as a male. nourish?
Otherwise, if a girl raised in a deep boudoir studies like this, she doesn't need the imperial examination to become an official.

He Nuan spoke again, his voice was cold, his right hand had already landed on the hilt of the soft sword at his waist, "Young master, please move, my lady will be there in a while."

The two guardians who were following Mr. Jiao also went on guard at the same time. This is not an ordinary maid, but a military maid. She is skilled in martial arts and fierce in attacks. She broke the legs of the county yamen's arresters and threw them downstairs. , They were also afraid that He Nuan would kill the eldest son in a fit of anger.

The eldest son is already married, and the eldest daughter in the family is two or three years younger than Zhan Feiyu, but the literati in the Daqing Dynasty have always respected the rules, so hearing He Nuan's words, the eldest son Jiao was not angry, "Well, Jiao Someone is waiting in the private room."

A quarter of an hour later, Zhan Feiyu put down his pen, washed his hands, and then walked towards the private room at the end of the corridor.

Holding the teacup with a haughty attitude, Mr. Jiao looked coldly at Zhan Feiyu who entered the door, "The water station is desolate and cold, and the sky is frosty, and the night is full of bitterness. I don't know if Miss Zhan knows the next sentence?"

Zhan Feiyu raised his eyebrows, "The reason for the eldest son's late-night visit is to recite poems?"

The next two lines of this poem are exactly: Close the door and ignore the months before the court, and pay the plum blossoms for themselves.

The original intention is to close the door and ignore the moonlight in the courtyard, and leave the mood of admiring the flowers to Plum Blossom to make his own decisions.But Mr. Jiao's opening was clearly implying that Zhan Feiyu was meddling in his own business.

Zhan Feiyu knows this poem, which is enough to show that the little girl is not just trying to gain fame, but has real talents and practical learning.

Although Mr. Jiao was unhappy, he did not dare to underestimate Zhan Feiyu. This Zhan family may not be a wealthy family in Jiangnan Road, but it is not a scholarly family, but also a family of officials.

"I heard that the girl has a noodle recipe in her hand, and there is a pastry shop in the dowry of my wife. If Miss Zhan is willing, this recipe, Jiao, is willing to buy this recipe at a high price instead of my wife."

After Mr. Jiao's words fell, the guard behind him immediately stepped forward and opened the wooden box in his hand. Inside was a stack of bank notes.

"5000 taels, is Ms. Zhan satisfied?" Mr. Jiao's move can be said to be rich and powerful. Before that, Zhu County Magistrate also planned to buy this prescription, but it was only 1000 taels at most.

However, there are Zhenweixuan shops in every prefecture on Qianzhong Road. At first glance, 5000 taels seems a lot, but as long as Zhenweixuan sells well, it will definitely earn back in three years.

Zhan Feiyu just took a look at the money that ordinary people can't earn in their lifetime, and then looked away, "Your Excellency, are you planning to spend money to eliminate disasters?"

His face instantly collapsed, and Mr. Jiao looked at the unrestrained Zhan Feiyu with displeasure. The 5000 taels was for buying the following recipe. Why didn't he tell Zhan Feiyu to stop and leave Zhao's pastry shop alone.

Without Zhan Feiyu, the "uninvited guest", it is only a matter of time before Zhenweixuan wins Zhao's pastry shop, and it will be resolved within three months at the latest.

Different from the previous contempt and contempt for Zhan Feiyu in the court, Mr. Jiao suppressed his anger even though he was dissatisfied at the moment, "As the saying goes, a strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake. This is the boundary of the middle of Guizhou, and Miss Zhan knows that she wants to come here." I offended some people by meddling in other people's affairs, if no one can make peace, it may not be easy to leave Qianzhong Road safely."

Zhan Feiyu looked sideways at the window, under the night, only heard a slight sound, but it was a man in black clothes flying past the window, the big knife in his hand was shining brightly in the night, even if it was a It flashed away, but the cold light still made people fearful.

Courtesy before soldiers?Zhan Feiyu withdrew his gaze, looked at Eldest Young Master Jiao who was sitting across from him, and suddenly raised his crisp voice, "Didn't the Eldest Young Master bring you from outside?"

"Hmph, Jiao is not going to attack a little girl like you!" A sneer sounded, and the face of Mr. Jiao was full of arrogance.

As the eldest son of the magistrate's family, although Mr. Jiao has always been defiant and dislikes Zhan Feiyu who likes to read, he will not kill Zhan Feiyu.

Zhan Feiyu suddenly smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were curved because of the smile, coupled with her fair and tender skin, she was as delicate and agile as a little boy under the seat of a Bodhisattva.

"Since the person is not brought by the eldest son, then I don't have to be polite." Zhan Feiyu smiled and cupped his hands at the eldest son Jiao. Take down the outsiders!"

With this order, Mr. Jiao was stunned for a moment in the private room, but immediately there was the sound of swords clashing and fighting outside.

This made the two guardians of Jiao's family tense up. They pressed their right hands on the hilt of their swords and struck at the slightest disagreement. This is not like a little girl, but this is clearly a female Hades!
The sound of fighting came suddenly, but it ended quickly. The silence at the moment made people feel unspeakable uneasiness. What is going on in this pitch-black outside?
"Go out and have a look!" Standing up after a while, Mr. Jiao, who was impatient to wait, strode towards the window, and the two guards immediately followed.

The night wind blew, and the clouds that blocked the moon were blown away, and the silver light fell down to illuminate the dark courtyard. Although it could not be compared with the day, the blood on the ground was clearly visible.

This?Mr. Jiao's eyes widened suddenly, and there were corpses lying all over the ground, coupled with the flowing blood, it made people tremble with fear.

"He's still alive." The nurse who was also standing at the window whispered. Although he was alive, his chest was still heaving slightly. If he didn't give treatment to stop the bleeding, he might not be far away from death.

The most important thing is that within a quarter of an hour from the start to the end of the fight, more than 20 masters were lying on the ground like dead pigs.

The only one standing in the yard was He Sheng, with blood dripping from the sword. Although it was impossible for He Sheng to do it alone, it could show that those who did it were all real masters.

Mr. Jiao has no talent for reading, but he is also a son of a family, and he can be said to be well-informed. He can use so many dead men. This is not an ordinary family. The Jiao family is also a family of officials, but Mr. Jiao is also a family. There are only dead soldiers cultivated by two families, and the rest are cultivated by himself.

Turning around, Mr. Jiao stared at Zhan Feiyu with complicated eyes. Who is this little girl?Even the heir of a big family probably wouldn't be protected by so many dead men.
