Chapter 274

Chapter 274

"Mr. Qiu, what do you think about this?" Magistrate Zhu smiled flatteringly and looked at Qiu Zongxi fawningly.

What this little girl said is ridiculous, but after all, it's just a girl's family. Even if she is a relative of the emperor, it doesn't matter, men are the ones who make the decision in all matters. When the time comes, the little girl slaps her butt and returns to the capital, offending herself in the Marquis' Mansion at the edge of the town.

What should I do? I can't chase this girl to the capital.

Zhan Feiyu looked speechlessly at County Magistrate Zhu who wanted to give him an accurate answer. Hey, this is just a hairless mouth and weak work!

"If Lord Zhu is afraid, you can send someone to investigate the case and find the murderer, and you will have nothing to worry about." Mr. Qiu sneered coldly, but did not answer the question. If he had the ability, he would go and investigate and get to the bottom of it!

His face fell instantly. Magistrate Zhu wished he was like a tortoise. They were competing with the Zhenbian Hou Mansion. What could he, a humble official, do?

As for investigating the case? Magistrate Zhu looked at the eight corpses on the straw mat, and then glared fiercely at Capt. Luo, who was cowering aside. Originally, he wanted to find a rogue to scare Yang Xu and give an explanation to the Marquis Mansion at the edge of the town.

Why did it cause so much trouble and eight people died? It failed more than failed!

The angry Luo Bao lowered his head, unable to think of any revenge.

Knowing that Yang Xu went to Zhao's house and spent money to fish out Baozi Xishi, Capt. Luo knew that Yang Xu wanted to turn over the old case and take action against him, so he found a few scoundrels to watch outside Qiu Mansion. Sure enough,

, it snowed all day yesterday, and Yang Xu actually wanted to go to Aozi Village.

Coupled with the urgency of the Hou Mansion's urging, Luo Baotou reported back to County Magistrate Zhu and gathered a group of ruffians, a dozen or twenty people, to ambush Yang Xu on the official road.

Capt. Luo originally wanted to let Yang Xu kill someone by mistake, so that he could take the opportunity to bring Yang Xu to the Yamen and complete the Hou Mansion's explanation. On the other hand, if Yang Xu killed someone, he would have the handle.

Holding it tightly, Luo Captou was not worried about Yang Xu secretly turning over old scores to deal with him.

But Capt. Luo never expected that eight people would die at once, and when he rushed to the official road with the captors, Yang Xu and his party had already left, and no one was caught at the scene. It would be difficult to threaten Yang Xu again.

.

"Since you don't want to investigate, you might as well ask the Forbidden Dragon Guards to come to Xiangwu County." Zhan Feiyu suggested with a smile, his kind attitude seemed to not want to cause any trouble to Magistrate Zhu.

"Forbidden Dragon Guard?" His lips trembled, and Magistrate Zhu's fat and round body trembled. Suddenly, he felt that the little girl with red lips and white teeth in front of him was more terrifying than the fierce guards of the Hou Mansion.

Zhan Feiyu nodded, "Yes, otherwise Mr. Zhu would think why Wu Baihu left Stone Village in despair."

Luo Baotou, who had been pretending to be a quail, suddenly raised his head. It turned out to be the Forbidden Dragon Guard. No wonder Wu Baihu's expression changed drastically at that time.

At this time, Luo Captou felt that the slap he received was not unjust. The noble man hit him, which meant that the matter was over. If he didn't take action, it would be terrible to settle the accounts later.

"Young lady is joking, how dare I disturb the ban..." County Magistrate Zhu was speechless, his red face turned pale, "Thank you very much, Miss, for your kindness, I will be a witness today."

Seeing Zhan Feiyu nodding his head, Magistrate Zhu felt that the two souls that were scared away were back. He dared to play both sides, so he hurriedly walked towards the table beside him, picked up the pen and dipped it in ink, without even looking at it.

What was Zhang Qi writing? He wrote his name in the lower right corner. Lest Zhan Feiyu was not satisfied yet, he took out his private seal and stamped it.

"So be it, but after all, there is a human life case, Mr. Zhu still has to be more careful and not arrest the criminals. If this spreads out, and a charge of poor governance is suppressed, I think Mr. Zhan will not be able to bear it."

Feiyu dropped the threat lightly and walked directly to the gate with He Sheng and He Nuan.

The eight relatives of the deceased had previously received one hundred taels of silver notes. Seeing that Magistrate Zhu was fawning over Zhan Feiyu, they naturally did not dare to cause trouble and hurriedly called on his family members to carry the body away.

After a while, the county government office came.

"Sir, how could this happen?" The staff member He Xuezhi was stunned, and with a shake of his hand, he pulled out two mustaches. But at this moment, he ignored the pain and hurriedly asked: "Sir, the person who did this is probably the town policeman.

If you want to investigate the people in the Bianhou Mansion, sir?"

"Shut up, don't you know you are an official?" Magistrate Zhu slammed the table angrily. He was a lowly child in Zhan Feiyu, but when he returned to the county government, he was the king of heaven, and he was spitting curses at He Xuezhi.

He stood up and said, "That's the master who can command the Forbidden Dragon Guard. How many heads do you think I have enough to cut off?"

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Magistrate Zhu yelled angrily at the door, "Tell Luo Shunxiang to get out of here! Day by day, I can't do anything well. What's the use of me raising you losers!"

After a while, not only did the arrester Luo arrive, but the county government's chief registrar, county lieutenant and others also came over. Magistrate Zhu was not happy, and the people under him had no hope of living in peace.

"Sir, when Beizhong arrived yesterday, Yang Xu and others had already left, and only some blood stains remained at the scene." Capt. Luo recounted what happened in detail, "After Beizhong came back, he went to Hu Shan's home.

Although he was stabbed twice, his vitals were not injured, and the others were similarly injured. I don’t know why all eight people in Hushan died unexpectedly early this morning."

Even though Magistrate Zhu is fatuous and incompetent, he is also a scholar and has brains. This person was not killed by Yang Xu, but by someone under the Zhenbian Hou Mansion. The purpose was naturally to frame Yang Xu. Of course, the ultimate intention was Old General Yang and Yang Shoucheng.

Both sides are ancestors, and they can't afford to offend anyone! Magistrate Zhu has a big head, and so do the others. I thought that the barren land of Xiangwu County was just for getting around with salary. Who could be so smart as to offend such a big man?

trouble.

County Magistrate Zhu snorted angrily and glared at several people, "Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while, but now they are all mute? What use do I need you for?"

Not to mention being scolded a few times, even if Magistrate Zhu puts the knife on their necks, they can't do anything. Anyone who can command the Forbidden Dragon Guard must be a relative of the emperor!

One is the Zhenbian Hou Mansion, which is in charge of three-thirds of the land on Longyou Road. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are local emperors. They are just petty officials of Xiangwu County Government. They are nothing. To put it bluntly, see

The housekeepers who came to the Marquis Mansion all had to nod and bow their heads and say a few words of flattery.

He Xuezhi tugged at his mustache. In the face of absolute power, all calculations are futile. "Sir, since you asked me to get to the bottom of it, why don't you go to the Dong family's yard yourself?"

After Zhang Yiyi failed to show off her family affection to Yang Xu, she did not leave but stayed in the small courtyard of the merchant Dong's family at the south gate. Previous orders from the town's border house were also conveyed through Zhang Yiyi's letter paper

of.

What He Xuezhi said was just to ask Magistrate Zhu to pass the hot potato to Zhang Yiyi. That was the Forbidden Dragon Guard, and it is estimated that the Zhenbian Hou Mansion would not dare to act rashly.

"Sir, I think it's feasible." The chief clerk agreed, saying that they didn't dare to provoke him. Besides, this was originally a matter between the Zhenbian Hou Mansion and the Yang family, and they were just small characters caught in the middle and receiving the blame.

Magistrate Zhu was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, "Here comes, prepare the sedan chair."



Yang Xu thought that Zhan Feiyu was squeamish, but Zhang Yiyi had been pampered and pampered in the Hou Mansion for several years. When it came to squeamishness and enjoyment, she was definitely worse than him.

At this moment, a charcoal pot was burning in the room, and the faint fragrance of sandalwood filled the room. Together with the fragrance of tea on the table, the mixture gave people a drowsy and comfortable feeling.

"Madam, those people have already carried the body to Qiu Mansion." Lian'er squeezed Zhang Yiyi's shoulders. The disdain and contempt on her face were undisguised. They were just untouchables who were only interested in profit. They didn't care about the death of someone in the family. As long as they

If they can extort money, they will definitely make a fuss to death, and it is estimated that the news will spread throughout Xiangwu County by tomorrow.

Zhang Yiyi half-closed her eyes and took a nap. Everything had been going wrong since arriving in Xiangwu County. Fortunately, she finally found a breakthrough, "Xu'er is my son after all. He is unkind, but I, a mother, cannot be unjust. After a while,

If you go to the Yamen again, Xu'er can go to jail, but there must be no charges."

Zhang Yiyi just wanted to find an honest reason to arrest Yang Xu. In this way, she would not be afraid that the Yang family and his son would not agree to her request. Of course, she also knew that she would have to rely on Yang Xu for the rest of her life, so she could arrest him.

But there must be no conviction.

"Madam is kind, I have made a note of it. Master Xu will definitely understand Madam's good intentions in the future." Lian'er took the opportunity to flatter her, "I just wonder if that old man Qiu will intervene?"

The Yang family has been able to live peacefully in Shitou Village for the past few years. Even if they offended local snake Luo Baotou before, nothing happened. All of this was due to the protection of Qiu Zongxi.

But if something happens to Yang Xu this time, the father and son of the Yang family are still guilty, so there is nothing to fear. Qiu Zongxi is the only one who has changed. If he takes action forcefully, the prefect will give him a thumbs-down, not to mention the incompetent and incompetent Zhu.

County magistrate.

When she thought of Qiu Zongxi, Zhang Yiyi's pretty face suddenly sank. Her voice was still soft and sweet, but her words contained the coldness of bullying others. "If he really dares to interfere in the affairs of the Marquis Mansion by the town, the Marquis will definitely handle it."

In Longyou Road, it is normal for someone to die. As Zhang Yiyi is the pillow of the Marquis of Zhenbian, she knows in her heart that the Marquis seems to be upright and heroic, but privately he keeps dead soldiers to eradicate dissidents.

It's a pity that the real military power of Longyou Road is still in the hands of the Holy Lord. The Marquis avoids the Holy Lord's actions and dare not make a big show of it, so the results have been very little in recent years.

"Madam, Magistrate Zhu is here to visit." The little maid's reply sounded outside the door.

Zhang Yiyi opened her eyes, and Lian'er also stopped rubbing and rubbing, "Madam, has County Magistrate Zhu come to ask for a reward?"

"Go and take a look first." Zhang Yiyi stood up, straightened her bun in front of the bronze mirror, then put on her fox fur cloak and walked out the door with Lian'er's support.

In the flower hall where guests were entertained, the maid brought tea and waited quietly. Magistrate Zhu had been tossing and frustrated all morning. He had no intention of drinking tea and kept looking out the door.

As soon as Zhang Yiyi entered the door, she saw Magistrate Zhu's anxious look. Her heart skipped a beat, but she kept her face calm and said, "Master Zhu."

"Mrs. Zhang, I'm asking for your forgiveness for taking the liberty of visiting me." Even if Magistrate Zhu no longer wants to see Zhang Yiyi, who is causing trouble for him, he can only suppress his worries and exchange pleasantries when he thinks that she is the pillow of the Marquis of Zhenbian.

Two sentences.

After Zhang Yiyi sat on the main seat, Magistrate Zhu immediately explained the purpose of his visit. He could not avoid blaming this mess on Zhang Yiyi, "Madam, I can't do anything. Those eight and four family members have no

If you go to the Yamen to file a complaint, and there is a murder case, I also need to send detectives to investigate, but if this investigation continues..."

The Zhenbian Hou Mansion had made a thorough plan and asked Chief Luo to lead the police to catch Yang Xu "with the stolen goods", so that there would be a reason to bring Yang Xu back to the Yamen for questioning.

But Qiu Jinyu and his men suddenly intervened, causing the fight to go on two quarters of an hour faster than expected. Therefore, when Luo Captou and his men rushed over, except for the blood stains remaining on the ground, no one could be seen.

"Sir, are you talking about Qiu Mansion?" Zhang Yiyi clenched her hands in her sleeves tightly, it was Qiu Mansion who came to ruin her business again!

Although Qiu Zongxi lives in Xiangwu County, there are only about twenty people in the nursing home from maids to mothers-in-law, plus servants. Yang Xu goes out with at most seven or eight people. Luo Captou first sent about

There were twenty ruffians, and the Hou Mansion sent twenty more people. It was originally a foolproof thing.

In order to avoid blowing the whistle, the Hou Mansion immediately moved to Wu County once it succeeded and did not come back to report to Zhang Yiyi, so that the relationship could be cleared. This also led to Zhang Yiyi not knowing that someone from the Qiu Mansion showed up yesterday.

.

After all, County Magistrate Zhu is a county magistrate. Qiu Jinyu and his party stayed in Qiu Mansion, but the remaining dozens of people almost filled up the inn in Xiangwu County. Magistrate Zhu sent someone to check and found out from those escorts

He also learned Qiu Jinyu’s identity.

"Yes, he is the third son of the Qiu family in Central Guizhou Province. He has obtained the title of scholar in the imperial examination this year, and he is also a rare little three yuan. Mr. Qiu came to Xiangwu County to visit Mr. Qiu, and happened to see a fight at the official road, so

Only then did he lend a helping hand." This help ruined Zhang Yiyi's plan to frame Yang Xu.

As for why Qiu Jinyu chose to help Yang Xu, first of all, Yang Xu was young, and secondly, those ruffians were not good people at first glance. A scholar like Qiu Jinyu would definitely draw his sword to help when encountering injustice.

No matter how angry he was, it was of no use at this moment. Zhang Yiyi picked up the teacup and drank two sips of tea before calming down his anger. She looked at Magistrate Zhu who wanted to give up his burden and said, "Master Zhu is going to switch sides. It seems that the Hou Mansion

In the eyes of adults, they are not as good as the Qiu family in central Guizhou."

No woman is good, no matter young or old! Magistrate Zhu was so angry that he almost cursed, but looking at the noble Zhang Yiyi, he could only hold back his anger and explain with a smile: "Madam, what you said is wrong.

, It’s not that I don’t help, it’s that I can’t do anything.”

The Qiu family is thousands of miles away on the Qianzhong Road. Compared with the Zhenbianhou Mansion, it is indeed nothing to fear. But when he thinks of Zhan Feiyu's identity and her ability to mobilize the Forbidden Dragon Guards, Magistrate Zhu has eaten the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's courage.

He didn't dare to help the Hou Mansion deal with Yang Xu.

Before Zhang Yiyi could speak again, there was a sudden noise outside.
