I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 661 Pleading

This case not only involved Shuntian Mansion, but also Dali Temple. After all, You Bawang died in Chang Mansion, and was assassinated by Lai San under the nose of Master Chang.

If the case was really to be thoroughly investigated, both Shuntian Mansion and Dali Temple had to avoid suspicion, so the case could only fall to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, or the Holy Lord appointed an official to withdraw the case.

Under the darkness of night, Lord Bai and Master Chang glanced at each other. Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was aimed at Pei Gong. I'm afraid whether it was Yao Damin's suicide or You Bawang's murder, the real purpose behind the scenes was Dali Temple and Shuntian Mansion.

"Hmph, Benhou is worried about Shuntian Mansion, Zeng Ming, you bring someone here to guard here personally, unless you get orders from Benhou, no one is allowed to enter the house, or they will be killed!" Lord You Hou said sharply, and ordered the people in the Hou Mansion The guards came to guard the house.

"Master Hou, you have to make the decision for Ran'er..." Du Shi cried out in great grief.

With the help of her maid, Du came over, grabbed Lord You's arm, and burst into tears, "But I don't know why I can't die, Lord Hou, you must catch the murderer and let his whole family die." Ran'er must pay with his life!"

Even though You Bawang is a lecherous dandy, he is the eldest son of the Hou family after all. If he is killed, the murderer may not be punished by the nine clans, but it is possible to implicate the three clans.

"Don't worry, even if I fight this old life, I will seek justice for Ran'er!" Master You Hou said hoarsely and sadly, and cast another glance at Baifu Yin and Mr. Chang with his sinister eyes.

Even though he knew in his heart that the cause of You Haoran's death was not simple, after all, two government offices were involved, and two court officials were involved.

But when he thought of the tragic death of his only son, Lord You clenched his fists, these people deserved to die, and he would not let any of them go!

……

In the early morning of the second day, because the New Year was approaching, I could hear the hustle and bustle outside early in the morning, presumably there was an endless stream of people buying New Year's goods.

He Nuan went into the stove to fetch water, and incidentally told Cook Xiao, who was busy under the stove, "There is no need to prepare breakfast today, the weather is warm, and the lady is going outside for a walk."

"I've made a note of it." Cook Xiao replied in a gentle voice.

Today's life is leisurely and comfortable, and the guy who only prepares three meals a day and then does some laundry and cleaning, Yueyin is one or two taels more silver than in Xiao's Zhuangzi back then, and Cook Xiao is grateful from the bottom of her heart for letting herself go out of the tooth shop. Zhanfei fish bought back.

After He Nuan took away the bucket of hot water, Cui Ya just slaughtered the fresh sea bass and brought it over, when he saw the steamed buns and rice porridge on the table, he couldn't help but wondered, "Miss, you don't need to eat at home? "

Usually, after Zhan Feiyu used the morning food, Chef Xiao and Cui Ya would eat with He Nuan who had packed the dishes.

"It's the end of the year and it's lively outside, and the lady wants to go out for a walk." Cook Madam Xiao wiped her hands, looked at Cui Ya with a bit of envy on her face, and couldn't help saying: "After dinner, go to the grocery store to see if there are any dried ones. The lotus pods are for sale, and Ms. He said that Miss wants to eat tea eggs boiled with dried lotus pods."

"Dried lotus pods?" Cui Ya was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "I'll go to a few more shops and ask, it's rare that Miss has something she wants to eat."

"Don't worry, you can also take a stroll along the way." Cook Xiao had to speak clearly, otherwise this silly girl would not know to take the opportunity to walk around.

Although the sun is bright outside, it is winter after all, and there is still a thick layer of snow on the shady roof. Fortunately, the hooded cloak wrapped Zhan Feiyu into a ball, and holding the stove in his hand, he didn't feel it at all. The coldness of winter in Beijing.

"Guests please come inside, here comes the hot wonton noodles..." The store clerk greeted enthusiastically, the big bone and the broth made by the old hen were placed on the big stove at the door, and the lid was lifted Come on, the people who are hooked by the fresh fragrance are hungry.

He Nuan found a table by the window, wiped it clean, and then waited for Zhan Feiyu to take off his cloak, "This is a time-honored restaurant in the capital, and it is said that Shengshang Yulong also came here to eat wonton noodles when he was dressed in white. "

Zhan Feiyu looked around, his voice was accompanied by the yelling of the staff, coupled with the fresh aroma of wonton noodles, it made Zhan Feiyu, who had been studying hard all day, feel that he was still alive in the world.

After listening carefully, most of the diners were talking about visiting relatives or buying new year's goods during the Chinese New Year. Zhan Feiyu asked, "Has the matter of the Changfu been suppressed?"

He Nuan didn't know either, she had been busy all morning, and now she couldn't help but look at He Sheng who was sitting across from her.

"The murderer is the cell leader Laisan." He Sheng lowered his voice, and the news of You Bawang's killing was indeed suppressed by the Shuntian Mansion and Dali Temple, otherwise the streets and alleys might be talking about You Bawang's death.

The black eyes widened a little, and Zhan Feiyu turned to look at He Sheng, "What happened to Yao Damin, Shuntian Mansion actually let people run out?"

Once Yao Damin died, the case of his assassination of Bai Zhaohui became a murder case, and the clues were broken and there was no way to investigate. This was the Shuntian government's negligence.

Now even Lai San was able to get out of the prison, sneaked into Changfu, and finally killed You Bawang, there must be someone behind this, but Shuntian Mansion is too slack.

He Sheng continued in a deep voice: "The Governor of the Bai Mansion has thoroughly investigated the entire Shuntian Mansion last night, and he will definitely play Ming Sheng Shang this morning."

"Three guests, the wonton noodles are here. Miss is worried that they will be hot." The waiter brought over three bowls of noodles.

When the buddy left, Zhan Feiyu was not in a hurry to eat, "Shuntian Mansion and Dali Temple were all involved at once, and now there is only one criminal department left in the third division, and the people behind it have a lot of schemes."

When it comes to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, one has to say Liu Yu, the right servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice who had a hard time with Zhan Feiyu before. The two of them had settled their feud in Yao Damin's case before, and now the case of Youbawang fell to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Fish was also involved, and He Nuan's face suddenly turned cold.

"Don't worry, this is the capital, the teacher's site." Zhan Feiyu picked up a spoon, scooped up a wonton and blew hot air, and said with a smile: "Since the governor of Baifu and Mr. Chang are involved, the chief judge of the criminal department must be Qiu. Shang Shu, maybe the Holy Majesty will appoint an official to sit in on the case."

Both Lord Bai and Lord Chang are close ministers of the emperor, and now a case has wiped out both of them, and Zhan Feiyu doesn't know whether to say that the person behind the scenes is too ambitious, or that the other party is an old birthday star who hanged himself—tired of working.

"There are only a few people left and right." He Sheng said coldly, daring to get involved in Shuntian Mansion and Dali Temple. Except for a few princes, no one else has the guts. Of course, it may be a certain prince, or it may be a few. The forces of the other side contributed to the flames together.

It was already a quarter of an hour after Zhan Feiyu finished eating a bowl of wanton noodles, the taste is absolutely amazing, "Ah Nuan, how about..."

Before he finished speaking, a figure suddenly rushed towards Zhan Feiyu.

He Sheng and He Nuan immediately took precautions, but the person who came came fell to his knees with a plop not far from Zhan Feiyu, and kowtowed; "Please help Ms. Zhan!"

Zhan Feiyu slowly put down his chopsticks and looked at the middle-aged man who was kneeling on the ground begging. He was wearing a half-worn quilted jacket and had a square Chinese character face. Life must be good, but the middle-aged man in his 40s has a fair complexion and no wrinkles.

Zhan Feiyu laughed, and the man came straight to him after entering the door, "You know me?"

Although it is said that after arriving in the capital, there is always non-stop, but Zhan Feiyu spends twelve hours a day, and at least six hours are spent studying. Except for a few government summons, Zhan Feiyu basically did not go out, and the weather is warm today. Fenglou was targeted unexpectedly.

Zhan Feiyu didn't know the middle-aged man kneeling on the ground, but He Sheng knew, "Miss, this person's name is Zeng Pin, and he is the second steward of the back house of the Bai Mansion. After the Lai San incident, the governor of the Bai Mansion beat Zeng Pin After a meal, I sold it and went to the mine."

Mrs. Bai believed in the rumors at the beginning, and thought that Zhan Feiyu would marry Bai Zhaohui, so she asked Manager Zeng to bring a bank note to Lai San's house, and threatened and lured Lai San to go to the prison to bring a message to Yao Damin. .

In the end, Yao Damin committed suicide after framing Zhan Feiyu as the mastermind of the murder, and Bai Zhaohui also dismissed Zhan Feiyu's "life-saving grace", but after the matter was revealed, the White House Governor warned Mrs. Bai in words, and then beat Steward Zeng After a meal, he was sold to the mine. Given his age and the pampered life of these years, going to the mine must be a dead end.

But now that this person appeared in the capital, especially in front of Zhan Feiyu, all this seemed strange.
