"What are you doing? Who allowed you to break in!" Lian'er screamed and cursed, and quickly rushed to the door to block a group of vicious thugs.
Ignoring Lian'er's angry scolding, the two leading soldiers pushed the man away roughly, and locked their fierce eyes on Zhang Yiyi who stood up from the main position.
Lian'er staggered and almost fell after being pushed, holding on to the table to steady her body, and cursed loudly, "You are so outrageous, you dare to act wild in the Marquis Mansion at the edge of our town, and disturb our wife, you guys
Can you afford it?”
With a shout, seven or eight more soldiers rushed in quickly, making the small flower hall seem crowded with people standing there.
Zhang Yiyi's face changed suddenly, and she couldn't help but think of the same situation when the Yang family was in trouble. A group of soldiers directly blocked the general's mansion, and all the servants were driven aside. The Yang family was shackled and taken away like prisoners. The mighty general's mansion
The property was disturbed, the furniture in the house was smashed, and it fell into ruin in just a few days.
Magistrate Zhu was stunned when he saw the last person walking in, "Five hundred households?"
"Sir Zhu, I have been ordered to apprehend Mr. Zhang. Please avoid Mr. Zhu." Wu Baihu saluted with clasped fists and a tough attitude. Since he dared to arrest Mr. Zhang, he would not take a small county magistrate seriously.
Dare to arrest Zhenbianhou's pillowman on the border of Longyou Road? Magistrate Zhu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and things were really going to change.
After calming down her mind, Zhang Yiyi wiped away her gentle demeanor, her pretty face sank, and she asked sternly: "How dare you, a small guard house hundred households, to be rude to me? Dou Qianhu, don't you think this is the end of the town?"
Does the Hou Mansion take it seriously?"
Looking at Zhang Yiyi sitting back on the chair, Magistrate Zhu thought of Zhan Feiyu's smiling appearance. In contrast, Mrs. Zhang looked stern and shy, and even though the little girl was young, she could talk and laugh easily.
He took control of the situation instantly.
The Marquis Mansion at the edge of the town was intimidated, but when he thought of the Forbidden Dragon Guard, Wu Baihu straightened his waist and said in a cold voice: "If you have anything to say, leave it to the court, take it away!"
"I wonder who of you dares!" Zhang Yiyi shouted angrily, clenching her hands into fists, "Come here, get these ignorant people out of here!"
At the same time as the words fell, four guards of the Hou Mansion quickly stood in front of Zhang Yiyi, and the atmosphere instantly became tense. Although there were many people in the guard house, the guards of the Hou Mansion were all masters who could defeat a hundred.
The outcome is uncertain.
Looking at the two sides in the confrontation, Magistrate Zhu wished he could be a coward again, but no matter how stupid he was, he knew that if a fight broke out, no matter what happened to the guard station and the Zhenbian Hou Mansion, he, the little magistrate, would definitely not be fine.
Eat fruit.
"Wu Baihu, why don't you give me some face?" Magistrate Zhu said in a low voice to Wu Baihu who was wearing armor with a smile on his face: "Don't look at the monk's face to look at the Buddha's face. If the Hou Mansion investigates this, I will
Officials have to have an excuse, but I wonder whose order Dou Qianhu is following?"
Logically speaking, the health office does not have the authority to arrest people. It is the responsibility of the local government to investigate and review cases.
Wu Baihu also had a smooth temperament and was willing to sell him well to County Magistrate Zhu. "In my humble position, I only acted according to orders. No outsiders came to the guard station to see Dou Qianhu."
So far, it is most suitable for use in official circles. If you can let Dou Qianhu order the arrest of Zhang family without anyone noticing, Magistrate Zhu will have to think carefully if it is done before today.
But when Wu Baihu mentioned something, Magistrate Zhu immediately thought of Zhan Feiyu. The little girl really wasn't bluffing, it was definitely the order given by the Forbidden Dragon Guard to Dou Qianhu.
After thinking about it, County Magistrate Zhu glanced sympathetically at Zhang Yiyi who was holding an air of dignity. With the Forbidden Dragon Guard here, not to mention that she was only a person around the Marquis. Even if the Marquis was here, he would have no choice but to accept his fate and look ahead.
During the Daqing Dynasty, who dared to offend the Forbidden Dragon Guards who confiscated their families and exterminated their clans?
Seeing Magistrate Zhu's expression, Zhang Yiyi's heart skipped a beat. She suppressed her panic and uneasiness and said, "If you have anything to do, wait until Lord Marquis comes. I'll stay here. I want to see who dares to take me away by force."
!”
Lian'er was also uneasy and hurriedly stood next to Zhang Yiyi, forcing herself to speak: "Why do you arrest my wife? Is there any royal law?"
"Eight corpses are still lying in the coffin. Madam, don't you think this matter is over?" Wu Baihu sneered coldly. Even though he was not a good person, he did not kill eight people with just one move.
So what if there are eight ruffians? Daqing Law is not a show that looks good.
Thinking of this, Wu Baihu looked at Zhang Yiyi with delicate features, as if he saw a life-seeking evil spirit, a wasp with a needle behind its tail, the most poisonous woman's heart, and it was true.
With a glance, Wu Baihu looked at the four guards of the Hou Mansion blocking the front, "If there is any resistance, shoot to death!"
Since he dared to arrest people, Wu Baihu had brought fifty people here. If the guards of the Hou Mansion dared to stop him, don't blame him for being rude.
Zhang Yiyi's expression changed again. Through the wide open door, he could see the guardsmen standing neatly in the yard, holding sabers in their hands, and their momentum was soaring.
"You are not afraid of shadows. I will go with you!" Zhang Yiyi stopped struggling indifferently, stood up, and winked at Lian'er beside her.
After a while, Zhang Yiyi was taken away, and Magistrate Zhu also left with him. After all, this person was still being detained in the county prison, but the guards were changed from jailers to guardsmen.
…
Xiangwu County is such a big place. In the morning, eight corpses were placed at the entrance of Qiu Mansion. In the afternoon, the Dong family's south gate courtyard was surrounded by a group of soldiers. The news spread throughout Xiangwu County as if it had grown wings.
In the study, Zhan Feiyu was catching up on his delayed homework in the morning.
He Nuan stood aside quietly and waited until Zhan Feiyu put down his pen, then brought over the red date and longan soup in the food box, "A quarter of an hour ago, the maid next to Mrs. Zhang came."
When they were taking shelter from the rain in the ruined temple, Zhan Feiyu was deeply impressed by Lian'er's domineering appearance. He picked up the spoon and took two sips of the soup, "Are you here to ask for Yang Xu's mercy?"
Zhang Yiyi was arrested because of Zhan Feiyu's hand. Even if the news was sent back to the Marquis Mansion in Zhenbian, it would have taken at least a day for the people from the Marquis Mansion to come over in this freezing cold weather.
He Nuan was tidying up the desk and replied: "No, I'm complaining to Master Xu."
Zhan Feiyu laughed, "It doesn't matter, General Yang plans to train Yang Xu."
Seeing that Zhan Feiyu was not worried, He Nuan stopped talking. If Master Xu blames or even resents the young lady for this, then the young lady's trip will be in vain.
After a while, He Nuan left the study with an empty food box. On the other side of the courtyard, Qiu Zongxi was not surprised by Yang Shoucheng's appearance.
"The little girl is actually involved with the Forbidden Dragon Guard. This is something I never thought of." He raised his hand to signal Yang Shoucheng to sit down. Qiu Zongxi's face darkened, and his voice was somewhat complicated.
Compared with the hatred and disgust towards the Forbidden Dragon Guards by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Qiu Zongxi, who had a violent personality, saw clearly and thoroughly that the Holy Emperor strongly supported the Forbidden Dragon Guards not just to deal with dirty things that could not be brought to the table.
If all the officials in the court behave upright and sit upright, why should they be afraid of the all-pervasive Forbidden Dragon Guard? To put it bluntly, it is not because they harbor dirt and evil that they are afraid of the Forbidden Dragon Guard.
Yang Shoucheng solemnly said: "If Bachelor Gu has a relationship with the Forbidden Dragon Guard, the appointment of a heir apparent will not be far away."
As a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, a cabinet minister, and a confidant of the Holy Emperor, Gu Xueshi can be said to be a solitary minister. He has not even had any contact with the Gu family in Nanling in these years, which further illustrates Gu Xueshi's determination to be a solitary minister.
The Forbidden Dragon Guard is a sword in the hands of the Holy One. Wherever the Holy One points, the sword will kill. The Forbidden Dragon Guard will bear all the bad reputation. This grace of grace is also a poison that kills people. Once the new emperor ascends the throne,
, the first one to be liquidated was the Forbidden Dragon Guard.
Now that the two are connected, it is no wonder that Yang Shoucheng guessed that Academician Gu and the Forbidden Dragon Guard secretly joined forces to protect themselves. At least they would follow the dragon's merits, but at worst they might blackmail the emperor to order the princes.
"I've been teaching that girl Xiaoyu for several days. She's very thoughtful and has no leaks. She couldn't have rashly taken out the token of the Forbidden Dragon Guard and asked Dou Qianhu to arrest him." This was why Qiu Zongxi was puzzled after hearing the news.
The place of solution.
If Gu Qingzhou has something to do with the Forbidden Dragon Guard, he must be doing it in secret. The first person to hide is the Holy One. Although the Holy One is a wise ruler, he could not tolerate the Yang family back then, and now he will not condone the cabinet ministers and the Forbidden Dragon.
Wei joins forces.
But Zhan Feiyu acted carelessly and brought the relationship between Gu Xueshi and the Forbidden Dragon Guard to the surface. Not to mention that Qiu Zongxi couldn't figure it out. It is estimated that after the news spread, not even the civil and military officials of the dynasty could figure it out. Could it be that
Aren't you afraid that the Holy Emperor will become suspicious in his anger?
Far away in the remote Longyou Road, Zhan Feiyu was completely unaware that one of his actions had made the entire Daqing Dynasty agitated. However, no one dared to ask Bachelor Gu, and no one dared to ban the Dragon Guard. Everyone was anxious.
It's like a scratched cat, but the color on the pilgrim's face remains as usual every morning, making it even more elusive.
"If Bachelor Gu has the ability to follow the dragon, he may have ulterior motives for asking Xiaoyu to come." This is what Yang Shoucheng is most worried about.
If the Yang family resurrects, it will only be to protect the people of one side, rather than becoming a tool for the ministers of the DPRK and China to fight for power, let alone interfere with the establishment of the emperor.
The Yang family is far away from the court, and Qiu Zongxi has the temperament of Xianyun Yehe, so they don't know the situation of the princes in the palace. Therefore, even if they have this inference, they don't know which prince Gu Xueshi is optimistic about.
After Yang Shoucheng left, Qiu Zongxi couldn't help but sigh after being silent for a long time. He was really old. Not to mention Gu Qingzhou who was far away in the court, he could not figure out the little girl living in the house.
Zhan Feiyu originally thought that Yang Xu would come to see him before dinner, but after dinner, he learned from He Nuan that Yang Xu had gone to see Qiu Jinyu.
Although Yang Xu admired Zhan Feiyu, who was only one year older than him, he was unwilling to admit it.
But Qiu Jinyu was different. He was several years older. In addition, Yang Xu had a very good impression of him because of his righteousness in officialdom. Of course, it might also be because he was a member of the Qiu family, so Yang Xu instinctively
I let my guard down.
"Are you sure it was Miss Zhan who did it?" Qiu Jinyu was startled for a moment. Looking at Yang Xu who was nodding, he couldn't help but frown, "In that case, why don't you ask your uncle?"
Thinking of Qiu Zongxi's true character of jealousy and hatred, if Yang Xu went there, Qiu Zongxi would definitely say that he was caught well and the murderer who wasted no time on human life should have been sent to prison.
"It is not easy for a woman. Once she is imprisoned, it will be very difficult even if her charges are cleared in the future." Qiu Jinyu had a gentle face and a clear and melodious voice. "It would be fine if the evidence is conclusive. If it is just speculation and suspicion, it will be too much for the guards to arrest people."
It’s too extreme.”
Yang Xu looked at the candlelight and lost his mind. In the afternoon, the maid cried repeatedly. Although the deep love between mother and son seemed to Yang Xu to be fake, the death of those eight scoundrels was actually caused by Luo Baotou. Xiaoyu
Why not let the guard station catch the real murderer instead...
In fact, in the morning, when Zhan Feiyu gave the people a banknote and asked the people to take the body back for burial, Yang Xu was confused as to why Luo Captou was not arrested.
Magistrate Zhu was all flattering to Xiaoyu, so it was right that Luo Captou, the person behind the scenes, should be arrested and brought to justice.
"I want Brother Qiu to go to the county government office for me." There were so many complicated emotions mixed in his mind that Yang Xu couldn't figure it out, so he could only make a request first.
Zhang Yiyi could be said to have betrayed the Yang family back then, and she had been living in the Marquis Mansion on the edge of the town for no reason these years. Yang Xu really had no shame in asking Old General Yang and Yang Shoucheng to help.
As for the old man Tie from the blacksmith shop, he was an old member of the Yang family back then. He probably hated Zhang Yiyi even more and would not be able to help. Maybe Yang Xu came and the news was told to General Yang by old man Tie.
Yang Xu thought about the people around him and finally found that he could only ask Qiu Jinyu for help, and he himself did not want to visit the cell.
Qiu Jinyu laughed, raised her hand and patted Yang Xu's shoulder comfortingly, "Don't worry, I will go for you tomorrow and take care of you. No matter what, she is your mother after all."
"Thank you, Brother Qiu." Yang Xu thanked him gratefully. If she really killed someone, that would be fine. If she was innocent, she would not be able to return to the Zhenbian Hou Mansion in the future. Yang Xu planned to buy a small courtyard for Zhang Yiyi to live in.
Think of it as repaying a favor.
…
Qiu Zongxi didn't want to see the third room of the Qiu family, so even if Qiu Jinyu moved in, he wouldn't even have a reception, let alone Qiu Jinyu's whereabouts.
However, after he took people to the county government office, the news quickly spread back to the Qiu Mansion, including the Zhenbian Hou Mansion and other forces who were secretly watching.
After the morning lecture was over, Qiu Zongxi took two sips of tea to moisten his throat and said, "You can keep your composure."
"Sir, what you said is wrong. I have nothing to do with Zhang's outcome. If she is the murderer behind the scenes, she will be punished by Daqing law. If she is innocent..." Zhan Feiyu grinned. In fact, innocence is absolutely impossible, and it is probably only Yang
Xu still has some thoughts in his mind, thinking that the murderer behind the scenes is Mr. Luo.
"Did you know that scholars deeply hate the Forbidden Dragon Guard? Once word spreads that you have contact with the Forbidden Dragon Guard, you will be ostracized and even hated by scholars all over the world." Qiu Zongxi looked serious.
No matter what Gu Qingzhou's plot was, Qiu Zongxi really liked Zhan Feiyu. The little girl was very smart, and the key was to be diligent and hardworking, otherwise he would not have thought of accepting a disciple.
So what Qiu Zongxi said was an exhortation and a reminder, making Zhan Feiyu a little wary of Gu Qingzhou. Not all teachers regard their disciples as their own children, and there may be some calculation and use involved.
