I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 607
Yesterday, the news that the chief minister’s young master molested his friends’ wives and then beat them to death spread all over the streets and alleys. This morning, someone carried a coffin into the city, and then went to the government office to beat drums to complain about grievances. It's like growing wings.

This is not before Jiao Zhifu is promoted, the outside of the government office has already been surrounded by people watching the excitement, and it is estimated that there will be more people who heard the news in a while.

"I heard that the one kneeling is still a talented man, and next to him are his two sons and daughters. His mother died at a young age. In the days to come." The woman with the vegetable basket on her right arm shook her head twice. She looked at the two children in sackcloth and mourning with ignorant expressions, both sympathetic and worried.

The aunt who also came out to sell vegetables early in the morning also came over to answer the conversation, "I heard that the little woman in the coffin was beautiful, that's why I caused this disaster, so to marry a wife, you still have to find a virtuous and capable, long-haired woman." If it's too beautiful, it's a disaster!"

The aunt has straightened her waist when she said this, and when she goes back for a while, she wants to see who dares to say that her big girl is ugly, bah, what's so good about being beautiful, it's better for a big girl to be safe .

Compared to the common people watching the excitement outside the government office, several policemen in the government office glanced at each other and murmured together, but compared to the common people who followed others, although the policemen saw something wrong, they still Couldn't help changing the subject.

Probe to look outside the mansion yamen, the little catcher said in a low voice: "Master Qiu came to the yamen before, he is called a rich and handsome man, how could he fall in love with a country woman."

The noble son of a family of officials and eunuchs is already rich, handsome, and imposing. I have never seen any kind of beauty. The little catcher dares to boast that a maid randomly pulled from the Qiu Mansion in Haikou is more beautiful and talented than Mrs. Qi. .

Not to mention those daughters of well-matched families, Mr. Qiu, who is used to pearls, will be fascinated by fish-eye pearls?
"Maybe someone would like this." The obscene voice sounded, and the fat policeman rubbed his chin with one hand, with an extremely obscene expression. He has been working in the Yamen for several years, and he has not seen such a case.

Some people are born with this habit. They don't want the beautiful and beautiful women at home, but they go to provoke those dubious women outside. As the saying goes, it is better to steal than a wife, and it is better not to steal than a concubine.

Liu Baotou, who was on duty, glared sullenly at the subordinates who were getting more and more outrageous, and warned: "Li Sizhi's body is still lying in Yizhuang, don't talk nonsense without knowing the door."

Uh……

The officers were taken aback, and then they remembered this incident. It was only found out yesterday that someone was deliberately spreading news in Qianzhong Mansion. Unfortunately, Li Sizhi was silenced, and the clue was cut off.

When the officials from the yamen came to Jiao Mansion to inform Jiao Zhifu, Jiao Zhifu had already had breakfast and was telling Jiao Lianping and Jiao Lianyu to stay in the mansion for the next few days and not to go out if there was nothing to do.

"Father's words are wrong. Qi Changlin is the best friend of the second brother. Now that his wife died for no apparent reason, the second brother has no reason to stay at home. He must help to find the murderer. Don't waste your second younger brother's reputation as a gentleman."

Jiao Lianping lazily sat on the armchair holding a teacup, with an undisguised sneer on his face, this matter involved Qiu Huaixin, how could his good second brother "justice"?
"The dead are the big ones, so please be careful!" Jiao Lianyu's face was solemn, and it was rare that Jiao Lianping didn't back down like in the past. Sons and daughters, now that my sister-in-law has passed away, I will go to help anyway, and I hope my father will be considerate."

The magistrate Jiao looked at Jiao Lianyu with a solemn expression, he was half relieved and half worried. He was gratified at Jiao Lianyu's devotion to his friends, but he was also worried that this matter would involve the Qiu family. People behind the scenes would dare to plot Qiu Huaixin. I am afraid that the other party will also kill.

As for the eldest son who is yin and yang, Zhifu Jiao is used to it, and he just ignored Jiao Lianping, and said to Jiao Lianyu, "In this case, let the housekeeper bring someone over to help, and then find a doctor from the medical hall to go there together, so be careful. Row."

Jiao Lianyu stood up and bowed solemnly to the prefect Jiao, "Thank you, father, for your compassion."

The magistrate Jiao waved his hand to signal that Jiao Lianyu needn't be like this. Lianyu is honest and upright, and he can't act like a villain who seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages. Besides, no matter who is plotting behind Mrs. Qi's affairs, Qi Changlin is innocent after all.

"My lord, something has happened." The servant guarding outside the study walked in quickly, and the servant who stayed outside also entered the study after getting permission, and told the story of Qi Changlin carrying the coffin to the Yamen to beat drums and complain.

……

Different from the dark masses of people crowded together outside the courtroom, Zhan Feiyu and Yin Wuyan listened openly behind the courtroom.

The little official brought the two cups of tea to the table, but he didn't dare to take a second look, and retreated with a terrified expression. This lord is holding the token of the Forbidden Dragon Guard. The legs are all weak.

Zhan Feiyu walked to the side and took a look into the courtroom through the screen. Qi Changlin and the two children were all dressed in filial piety, and the dark coffin was also placed on the right side of the courtroom. There are three classes of yamen servants standing, and the outside of the court is crowded with people waiting to be promoted.

"Big brother, what is Qi Changlin going to do?" Zhan Feiyu came back after reading it. The defendant Qiu Huaixin hadn't appeared yet, and he couldn't be promoted for a while.

What Zhan Feiyu didn't understand was that Mrs. Qi's death was inappropriate everywhere. Qi Changlin was also a scholar who had obtained a reputation. No matter how stubborn he was, he could see the problem, but he just carried the coffin to sue Qiu Huaixin. Yamen, this is definitely self-destructive future.

Compared with the people with different expressions inside and outside the court, Yin Wuyan, who was dressed in a black brocade robe, was expressionless and indifferent from the beginning to the end. The coldness and murderousness around him made the little official who delivered the tea hold his breath in fright, lest he would provoke others. The death of these killing stars who have been banned from the Dragon Guard is unclear.

Yin Wuyan looked at Zhan Feiyu who was sitting back, the coldness on his face subsided, "Qi Changlin is delusional about leaving his name in history."

His eyes widened a little bit, Zhan Feiyu was still wondering whether Qi Changlin's complaint to the officer had turned his anger on Qiu Huaixin because of the tragic death of his beloved wife, so he was paranoid and wanted to drag Qiu Huaixin to die together, Zhan Feiyu really thought elsewhere.

"Miss, Master Qi is drinking tea." He Nuan walked over with a tea tray.

Having stayed with Zhan Feiyu in the courtyard behind the government office for a few days before, He Nuan was already familiar with the Qianzhong government office, so not only did he re-brew tea at this moment, but also brought four kinds of pastries.

As for the tea that the little official just brought over, He Nuan returned it to the tea tray. Now that Qianzhong Mansion is full of dangers, He Nuan basically won't let Zhan Feiyu eat tea outside the entrance.

Zhan Feiyu is still thinking about what Yin Wuyan said just now. The death of Mrs. Qi is a tragedy. She was also calculated by the Wu family. She was an ordinary woman who had been living in the countryside, and the medicine was changed, and she was sick and weak. It's normal to be induced by caring people to think sideways.

Mrs. Qi only thinks about her own mortality, so she might as well use her humble life to find a good future for her father-in-law and his sons and daughters who were born in a poor family, so that she can rest in peace.

But what about Qi Changlin?His wife's bones are not yet cold, but she is kneeling in the courtroom with a pair of children, but from this point of view, Zhan Feiyu doesn't like Qi Changlin, no matter whether he has other purposes, it is really just to complain about his wife, but he shouldn't be careless two children.

Yin Wuyan looked at Zhan Feiyu who was thinking seriously with a sullen little face. Her well-behaved appearance made people's hearts soften. No matter how fierce the little girl usually behaves, she still has kindness in her bones, and she doesn't know that people's hearts are sinister.

Qi Changlin carried the coffin to the yamen, Yin Wuyan guessed what Qi Changlin was thinking without having to investigate, in the end he was nothing but a hypocrite.

Otherwise, how could he put the heavy burden on a woman, and he called friends and friends in the official school and talked about it, but he never thought that his parents, wives and children would not have enough food and clothing.

"Even if the third son has cleared his bad name, his marriage with the fifth girl of the Gu family is sloppy. Qi Changlin did this because he was afraid that the Qiu family would retaliate afterwards." Zhan Feiyu just didn't think about it before. .

It is destined to offend the Qiu family, even if Qi Changlin and Jiao Lianyu are on good terms, so what?
What he offended was the most important official in Qianzhong Road. Even if Mr. Qiu disdained to attack him as a young scholar, other people who wanted to curry favor with Qiu's family would definitely attack Qi Changlin.

In this way, Qi Changlin was doomed to have no future, and he would stop being a scholar in this life. It was absolutely delusion to want to be an official through the imperial examination. From the moment Mrs. Qi wanted to frame Qiu Huaixin, she cut off Qi Changlin's official career.

It's just that Mrs. Qi has little knowledge. She only wants to plot against the Qiu family and use her own death to force the Qiu family to take care of Qi Changlin and the two children. Changlin can handle it.

Qi Changlin is more knowledgeable, he must have thought of this point, instead of doing nothing in the future and being suppressed without a bright future, it is better to fight to the death, and he can get a reputation of defying power, and maybe he can survive the desperate situation Find a way to survive, not all the hard-boiled censors at Yushitai are like this.
