I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 507
At night, Qianzhongwei's lights were brightly lit, and soldiers wearing sabers patrolled the barracks from time to time. At first glance, it seemed no different from normal days.

On the high viewing platform, when they saw a team rushing towards them in the dark, the soldiers in armor ran down quickly, gestured to the companions guarding the gate, and flew towards the inside of the guard like a gust of wind. run away.

After half an hour.

"Who is it?" The yelling sounded in the dark night, and several guards gathered quickly, looking at the group of uninvited guests warily.

"Blind your dog's eyes, you don't even know Master Cai!" The soldier on the horse yelled angrily, and yanked the whip in his hand.

The leading soldier was whipped before he even realized it. Fortunately, the other party was worried that this was Qian Zhongwei, otherwise the whip would not hit his shoulder but directly hit his face.

"Open the gate and let Xu Heng come out to meet the official!" Sitting on the horseback, the leader Cai Daren was dressed in a straight suit, his thin face fell from the corner of his eye, and his triangular eyes looked cold and menacing.

Here Mr. Cai's voice fell, and another guard suddenly showed the badge of the commander of the capital.

"My lord!" Several guards saluted immediately when they saw the token, and then one quickly ran back to report, and the rest opened the gate.

A dozen fine horses galloped into the Qianzhongwei camp. In the silent night, those who heard the sound of the horses' hooves panicked.

As soon as Mr. Cai lifted his robe and sat down in the meeting hall, there were hurried footsteps outside the door.

"I don't know that my lord committed crimes late at night, please forgive me." Xu Heng stepped into the door with his front foot, and then began to plead guilty with his back foot.

Cao Fuqianhu and Zhu Fuqianhu who came together saluted, and the officials were overwhelmed to death. What's more, looking at Qianzhong Road, who didn't know that Cai Qian's affairs were uncertain, and his actions were the most treacherous and ruthless.

"This is the secret letter I received. To prevent long nights and dreams, let Xu Qianhu do it." Jin Dao sat on the main seat astride the horse, and Cai Qianshi handed over the secret letter in his hand.

With a thump in his heart, Xu Qianhu bit the bullet and took it. After a quick glance, his complexion turned dark for an instant, and then he handed it to Deputy Cao Qianhu next to him.

The secret letter was written concisely. According to the information sent back by the Forbidden Dragon Guard, the arrested Zhan Feiyu and his party had colluded with the barbarians, and the barbarians had already planned to gather people to come to the rescue.

In order to avoid more casualties and prevent accidents, they simply didn't do anything, and could only kill Zhan Feiyu and his party first on the charge of colluding with foreign races.

"What? Xu Qianhu wants to resist the order?" A sullen questioning voice sounded, and Master Cai squinted his eyes, staring at Xu Qianhu and the three of them like poisonous snakes, "Or do you mean that you also have collusion with the barbarians? ?”

"Don't dare to be humble!" Xu Qianhu and the three pleaded guilty at the same time, with expressions of panic on their faces, but they had already greeted all eighteen generations of the ancestors of the Cai family in their hearts.

Mr. Cai is obviously treating Qian Zhongwei as a scapegoat. The little girl died at their hands tonight, and it will be Qian Zhongwei who will be retaliated against in the future. Mr. Cai will leave nothing at that time. Who do they turn to to complain?

With a cold snort, Master Cai stood up, took the secret letter that was put back on the table, and the sinister voice sounded again, "This matter is confidential, Xu Qianhu should arrange manpower to finish these traitors as soon as possible, otherwise once the news spreads If you go out, no one can afford this crime!"

After finishing speaking, Master Cai put the secret letter in front of the candle and lit it up, and the ignited flames were full of green smoke, "Master Sun's old injury relapsed last month, and Master Ji has already reported it to the court. You will sit on an equal footing with me.”

If there is no one to support him, Xu Heng estimates that he will be a fifth-rank Qianhu in this life, who was born in a farming family, and there is no major battle now, and Xu Qianhu's achievements today are considered to be in the sky.

But what Mr. Cai promised was a matter of the fourth grade. The guards only manage the thousands of soldiers under his hands, and they don't have much real power.

But once he was promoted to the commander of the capital, he could be regarded as entering the power circle of Qianzhong Road. Not to mention the future of Xu Qianhu, at least he could shelter the next generation of the Xu family.

In the same way, Xu Qianhu has been promoted, so the vacant Qianhu position, Cao Deputy Qianhu and Zhu Deputy Qianhu also have the opportunity to be promoted. As for who will be promoted, it depends on Mr. Cai Who is more optimistic about.

Xu Qianhu's face showed shock, and he didn't speak immediately, but he scolded his father again in his heart. Mr. Cai is really a sinister villain. He promised an official position, not only to lure himself, but also to sow dissension. "Cracks" immediately appeared in Qianzhongwei, which was so monolithic.

Deputy Cao Qianhu and Deputy Zhu Qianhu glanced at each other quickly, then lowered their heads in silence, who wouldn't want to be promoted?It's a pity that Mr. Cai underestimated them and killed the little girl. What would happen if they were promoted?If you are liquidated afterwards, you will definitely lose your head.

"Thank you, my lord. It's just that there is no proof. A humble official can't ignore human life with a secret letter." Xu Qianhu looked at the ashes that fell on the ground. This is not killing one person, but more than 20 lives, not to mention Those are the dead men carefully cultivated by the big family, and they may be the ones who die in the end.

"Does Xu Qianhu believe this official?" The scolding sound suddenly sounded, and the furious Mr. Cai pointed at Xu Qianhu, "Since Xu Qianhu wants evidence, why don't you bring him up and interrogate him personally!"

Cai Laogou is really a damn bad thing!Deputy Cao's eyes turned red with anger, but it was a pity that Deputy Zhu Qianhu grabbed his wrist tightly.

Now that there is a conflict, Master Xu is the one who is in trouble, and they are the ones who suffer. If they are charged with colluding with the barbarians, Master Cai can depose them from their official positions on the spot, and then take over Qian Zhongwei. They still have to carry it.

"Your Excellency, calm down." Xu Qianhu knelt down on one knee and pleaded guilty, and his low voice sounded unhurriedly, "Miss Zhan was born in a family of officials and officials in the south of the Yangtze River, so she must not have anything to do with barbarians, presumably there is a mistake in the information. "

Although he didn't know the origin of the little girl, Xu Qianhu insisted on her origin. An official daughter can't be accused of colluding with barbarians without evidence, and then beheaded like this. Ordinary people have committed crimes. For the case, the yamen will open a trial, and only after signing and depositing can one be convicted.

Deputy Zhu Qianhu glanced calmly at the soldiers brought by Mr. Cai. There were four people standing inside the house, and eight people stood outside the door. Then he remembered that Deputy Cao Qianhu had said before that Zhan Feiyu was surrounded by dead soldiers. skill.

With a plan in mind, Deputy Zhu Qianhu interjected, "My lord, why don't you bring Miss Zhan here, and if there is any misunderstanding, you can clarify it face to face."

As for the people brought here, it may not be so easy to kill people with the help of Mr. Cai's twelve personal soldiers.

Mr. Cai can not give Xu Qianhu face, but he can't get along with Mr. Zhu Qianhu. After all, he comes from the Zhu family, a military general, and he has torn his face. The Zhu family's secret stumbling is enough for Mr. Cai to drink a pot.

"You don't need an adult to invite you." A crisp voice sounded outside the door, and everyone in the room looked up, only to see a little girl in a white skirt and double buns walking in through the night.

Even though there are a group of generals in the room, it can be seen that the fabric of this underskirt is extraordinary, and it glows faintly in the night, not to mention the two pearl hairpins randomly placed in Zhan Feiyu's hair, the round pink pearls the size of thumb belly Without any flaws, this is definitely a treasure that cannot be bought with money.

"I have met you adults." Zhan Feiyu smiled slightly, but made a salute, and the wide sleeves slipped slightly to reveal the bracelet she was wearing on her wrist.

At first glance, they are beads of various colors that the little girl likes, but after a closer look, you can tell that they are the seven treasures of Buddhism: gold, silver, glass, coral, giant clam, red beads, and agate, each of which is smooth, round and flawless .

The three of Xu Qianhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a bit of worry in their eyes. They just looked at Zhan Feiyu who came in full-dress, and secretly guessed in their hearts whether the little girl was raised by the elders in the family as a man, which is why she has such a demeanor and posture.

"The guards in Qianzhong can come and go freely, how dare you say that you have no collusion with the barbarians?" With an angry shout, Master Cai gave a signal with his eyes, and in an instant, the four guards in the room came to kill Zhan Feiyu. Kill people.

Almost at the same time as the soldiers in the house started fighting, the eight people guarding the door also rushed in with their swords drawn, but they planned to catch the turtle in the urn and kill the three of Zhan Feiyu here at all costs.
