The training of the Forbidden Dragon Guards was cruel, and so were the punishments. He Sheng received ten lashes, and this was not a simple whipping. The whips were specially made with barbs on them. When the whip came down, the skin and flesh were peeled off, and the pain penetrated to the bone marrow.
Although the ten lashes were a traumatic injury, the pain was incomparable to the ten boards on Zhan Feiyu's palm.
As for the other people, Yin Wuyan removed them. Even if they were punished, they would not be able to return to Zhan Feiyu. The twelve new Forbidden Dragon Guards took their place and guarded in the dark.
After three or two steps, he saw Gu Qingzhou not far away. He paused and said, "I'm going to apply some medicine to He Sheng, otherwise the fat girl will definitely find out."
He Sheng was punished, and even though he was given medicine, he only banned Longwei's most common hemostatic medicine. The medicine was a bit strong, but the medicine in Chongguang's hand was a treasure. Not only was it effective in stopping bleeding, but it was also tasteless.
"Come in and talk." Gu Qingzhou was not afraid of the cold, but he was not willing to be outside in the cold wind on a cold day.
When Yin Wuyan came in, Gu Qingzhou motioned for him to sit down, and then said: "You also know Xiaoyu's temperament. She has a good idea. He Sheng and the others are followers and can only follow orders."
Yin Wuyan didn't speak, and Gu Qingzhou didn't care. He wanted to say something else, "Has the arrangements for the Marquis' Mansion in Zhenbian been made?"
Zhu Xiao surrendered to the barbarians and risked his life to survive. Gu Qingzhou was surprised when he saw the secret book handed over by Zhu Xiao.
For a hero like Zhu Xiao, he has been operating in Longyou Road for several years and still cannot control the military power. This is enough to show that the Yang family has absolute control over Longyou Road. It is understandable that the Holy Emperor was worried that General Yang would be the master of the army.
"Zhu Xiao only took away Zhu Zhengrong, the eldest son, and two hundred elite members of the Zhenbian Hou Mansion." When it came to business, Yin Wuyan did not hold anything back, and exchanged opinions with Gu Qingzhou, "The Zhenbian Marquis and other people in the Hou Mansion are currently
He has been secretly escorted back to Beijing."
These people in the Zhenbian Houfu will be imprisoned in the capital in the future. Speaking of it, they can also be regarded as hostages. If Zhu Xiao dares to really betray the Daqing Dynasty, these people in the Zhenbianhoufu will become ghosts under the sword.
Of course, since the Holy Lord has imprisoned the Zhenbian Hou and others, it also means that they have escaped death. Otherwise, when the Yang family comes back, Old General Yang will be avenged. Once the liquidation is carried out, the Zhenbian Hou Mansion will definitely be executed.
end.
Zhu Xiao's move can be regarded as a glimmer of hope for the Zhenbianhou Mansion.
After Zhu Xiao defected to the barbarians, the military power of the Zhenbian Hou Mansion was handed over to the Holy Lord, and Yang Shou became the protector of the Zhang family and was willing to hand over the military power. After this competition, the Holy Lord became the biggest winner.
Will firmly control the military power of Longyou Road.
When it comes to military power, not only does the Holy One worry about Gu Qingzhou, but Gu Qingzhou will also take the initiative to avoid suspicion. The Holy One will send another confidant general to take over the military power. However, Yin Wuyan is currently handling these matters. Naturally, he can do it without anyone noticing.
Deployment.
Especially with the cooperation of the Yang family, this plan is absolutely seamless. Even if the Holy Sage secretly sends the Dark Dragon Guard, Yin Wuyan can still conceal it.
Even though it was late at night and he had been driving hard for the past few days, Gu Qingzhou was already used to such busyness and fatigue.
After listening to Yin Wuyan's words, Gu Qingzhou thought for a moment and then said again: "Are you sure you can ask the Yang family to help cover it up?"
Gu Qingzhou can imagine what will happen to Yin Wuyan once the Holy One notices his manipulation of military power. Moreover, even if there is no substantial evidence, as long as the Holy One's suspicion is aroused, Yin Wuyan, the commander of the Forbidden Dragon Guard, will be in trouble.
And knowing too many secrets of the Holy Sage, Yin Wuyan will definitely die.
A sneer appeared on the handsome and arrogant face, and Yin Wuyan looked arrogant and ruthless, "When the Yang family was convicted, not only the emperor, but also the princes in the palace and their maternal family all wanted a share of the pie. Unfortunately, all of them
After returning home in defeat, it’s okay for the Yang family to revive now, but once the emperor appoints a prince, settling accounts with the queen is inevitable."
It's not that Yin Wuyan looked down on the adult princes in the palace, but the eldest princes were indeed narrow-minded. Back then, they showed favor to the Yang family and wanted to seize military power, but unfortunately they failed. They will definitely keep this grudge in their hearts.
Furthermore, once a prince is established, the ambition to gain military power will be revived again, and the stumbling block of the Yang family will naturally be removed. New hatreds will be superimposed on old hatreds, and the fate of the Yang family can be imagined.
However, the Crown Prince does not have the magnanimity of an emperor, and will not be open-minded, but will only eliminate the roots. Therefore, if the Yang family wants to protect themselves, they must take precautions. Only then did Yin Wuyan dare to be so sure that the Yang family would help.
If Zhan Feiyu is smart, but still a bit childish and still retains his innocent heart, in Gu Qingzhou's view, people like Yin Wuyan are the most terrifying and fearful people, wise but cold-blooded, and regard human life as such.
He is careless and holds great power. Once such a person becomes an enemy, the consequences will be disastrous.
After the conversation was over, Yin Wuyan stood up and left.
But after walking to the door, he opened it, and the howling cold wind blew in. Yin Wuyan, who was standing at the door with his back to the room, said in a cold voice, "Xiaoyu is still young. If she has any inconsiderations, please take care of her."
Please bear with me, I don’t want what happened today to happen again.”
Even though Gu Qingzhou was extremely well-educated, he was laughed out of anger at this moment. As a teacher, why couldn't he punish his disciples?
It's a pity that Yin Wuyan warned rather than discussed, and left without waiting for Gu Qingzhou's answer. However, the weight of his words is self-evident. If it happens again, even if Yin Wuyan cannot openly attack Gu Qingzhou, as a forbidden dragon
Commander Wei, if Yin Wuyan wants revenge, he will definitely find more than ten ways.
…
The sound of firecrackers marks the end of the year, and the warm spring breeze sends Tusu away. Thousands of households always replace old talismans with new peaches.
Amidst the crackling of firecrackers, Zhan Feiyu rubbed against the bed again and again. Even though he was reluctant to let go, he finally climbed up resignedly and said, "Nuan, I'm up."
It was half an hour later than the usual wake-up time, but it was only just dawn.
He Nuan put the hot water aside, then picked up the clothes on the edge of the kang and walked over. His movements were no different from the past. But if Zhan Feiyu looked carefully, he could find that He Nuan's movements were slightly stiff, even though
Even though the medicine was applied, any movement of the hands would still cause the whiplash on the back.
There is no distinction between men and women in the Forbidden Dragon Guard. After He Sheng received ten lashes, He Nuan waited for Zhan Feiyu to fall asleep and went to receive the punishment. The 10 lashes left the skin and flesh on his back.
Fortunately, Chongguang's wound medicine was really effective. Even though the wound hurt, it stopped bleeding. The key was that there was no smell of medicine. As long as He Nuan paid attention, Zhan Feiyu wouldn't notice that she was injured.
study.
The charcoal pot has been lit, so even in the early morning when the dripping water turns to ice, the study will not feel cold.
"Can't you let the little girl sleep in on the first day of the new year?" Qiu Zongxi is older and has shorter sleep time. In addition, he always came to the study at this time to give guidance on Zhan Feiyu's homework, so he will do the same today.
in this way.
But when he saw Gu Qingzhou, who was checking Zhan Feiyu's homework in the study first, Qiu Zongxi suddenly felt sour. Why was such a smart and sensible girl not his disciple?
"Instead of sleeping for half an hour longer, it is better to take the imperial examination as soon as possible. When you get through it, the sea will be broad enough for fish to leap, and the sky high enough for birds to fly." Compared with Qiu Zongxi's nose, not his eyes, Gu Qingzhou looked magnanimous and calm.
Qiu Zongxi snorted dissatisfiedly. Before he could refute, there were footsteps outside the study. He Nuan opened the door and Zhan Feiyu, wrapped in a bear shape, walked in.
In the study room, the conversation between master and apprentice rang out. Qiu Zongxi also wanted to know Gu Qingzhou's ability to teach his disciples, so he sat aside and watched.
"There is a saying in "Book of Jin": He is handsome and majestic, he is knowledgeable and good at military skills, he is serious and perseverant, he is magnanimous, and he does not care about small things." After Gu Qingzhou finished speaking, he looked at Zhan Feiyu and asked: "
Does Wu Hou Wang Meng know?"
With his photographic memory, Zhan Feiyu can be regarded as a well-read person, "Wang Meng's calligraphy and scenery..."
"Now that I know, do you think Wang Meng is loyal to the former Qin or the Eastern Jin?" After Gu Qingzhou asked, he also left time for Zhan Feiyu to think, turned over her previous homework, and then picked up the pen and began to review.
Zhan Feiyu did not immediately think about Gu Qingzhou's question, but wondered why the teacher suddenly asked Wang Meng. Could it be that the teacher was secretly talking about Zhu Xiao's defection to the barbarians?
Two quarters of an hour later, Gu Qingzhou put down his pen, which also meant that Zhan Feiyu's thinking time was over.
"Lu Polou once said that Wang Meng's strategies are unparalleled." Zhan Feiyu stood up and replied, his clear little voice echoing in the study room, "There are Bo Le in the world, and then there are horses with a thousand li. Wang Meng met Lu Polou in Guanzhong, and then passed him."
In the study here, Gu Qingzhou used historical figures to guide Zhan Feiyu. On the other side, Yin Wuyan was not idle and went to the courtyard where General Yang lived temporarily.
"Old General Yang, there's no need to be like this. Since it's a matter of the Yang family, it's okay for Yang Xu to stay and listen." If it weren't for the fact that Yin Wuyan's eyes were still indifferent, at first glance, one would have thought that he valued Yang Xu, a junior, very much.
Old General Yang was slightly surprised, then laughed loudly, "In that case, Xiaoxu, just stay."
Yang Xu, who had just stood up to leave, sat back on the chair after hearing this. Perhaps Zhan Feiyu and Yin Wuyan were too close to each other, and as a friend, Yang Xu couldn't help but feel jealous of the harmonious atmosphere that made it impossible for outsiders to get in.
"The news of Qiu Jinyu's death must have spread. Although this matter will harm Xiaoyu's reputation, in the critical period of the Yang family's revival, if someone with an intention adds fuel to the flames, the crime of Qiu Jinyu's death will definitely fall on Yang Xu."
Yin Wuyan's words were not scaremongering, nor was he trying to shirk responsibility from Zhan Feiyu.
Gu Qingzhou is a great scholar of the current dynasty, and Zhan Feiyu no matter what her background is, but now she is the only disciple of Gu Qingzhou, so slandering Zhan Feiyu is tantamount to offending Bachelor Gu, and most people will never try it easily.
Furthermore, Zhan Feiyu is a little girl after all. Even if she has a talent for reading, in the eyes of the world, when Zhan Feiyu is old enough, she will eventually marry like an ordinary housewife, and will raise her husband and raise children in the future. Therefore, Zhan Feiyu's reputation is
Good or bad, it doesn't matter to these big families. On the contrary, if they listen to it and believe it, they will offend Academician Gu, causing a lot of harm and no benefit.
However, it is different to pin the crime of Qiu Jinyu's murder on Yang Xu. The Yang family has made many enemies. Once the Yang family rises, it will be the families of Longyoudao who will be settled by Qiu Hou, especially since they previously ambush and assassinate Yang Xu at Aozikou.
, this is a deadly feud.
So if I had known that I was bound to die, I might as well have dragged Yang Xu into the water, ruined Yang Xu's reputation, and made him a murderer. Even if they died, they would have someone to back them up.
"So even if I can control the situation, bad news about Yang Xu will still spread." Old General Yang understood the deep meaning of Yin Wuyan's words.
The Yang family has absolute control over Longyou Road. The enemies secretly want to destroy Yang Xu. It depends on whether General Yang will agree!
But Yang Xu's reputation was preserved, and Zhan Feiyu's reputation was in jeopardy. Yin Wuyan would not let dirty water be poured on Zhan Feiyu's head, so even if General Yang intervened, Yin Wuyan would still release the news that the murderer of Qiu Jinyu was
Yang Xu and Zhan Feiyu will be plucked out of this matter.
There is a difference between closeness and distance. Old General Yang can understand that Yin Wuyan would do this, and Yang Shoucheng and Yang Xu on the side can also understand. In the final analysis, Zhan Feiyu will choose Qiu Jinyu to die, and that is to protect Yang Xu.
"Instead of choosing one of the two, it is better to let Qiu Jinyu die a worthy death." Yin Wuyan did not show off, and explained his purpose straightforwardly, "The barbarians will besiege Xiangwu County, and the person who takes the responsibility is Qiu Jinyu."
Qiu Jinyu's identity as a barbarian spy was exposed. Even if the third family member of the Qiu family did not dare to repay the favor, they relied on Yang Xu. They even had to thank Yang Xu and Zhan Feiyu for their good and clever killing.
, otherwise the entire third house would be implicated by the barbarian spies and executed.
Old General Yang frowned, his expression complicated and difficult to distinguish. After a while, he spoke: "You want to pluck Zhu Xiao out of this matter?"
The Yang family disdains using dirty means to retaliate against the Zhenbian Hou Mansion and will only take revenge openly and honestly. Zhu Xiao has liaison with the barbarians. This is a capital crime. Old General Yang can use this matter to liquidate the entire Zhenbian Hou Mansion.
Catch those who deserve to be arrested, kill those who deserve to be killed, avenge those who have been wronged, and avenge those who deserve revenge.
Yin Wuyan didn't speak. As for Yang Xu's shocked and somewhat angry eyes, Yin Wuyan didn't bother to look at him. If he wasn't too incompetent, how could he have caused Xiaoyu to be injured?
"What if in the future Zhu Xiao and the old ministries of Zhenbianhou Mansion should cooperate with each other?" Yang Shoucheng asked the most critical question.
Zhu Xiao has already gone to the barbarians. If he does not turn over the men he left in Longyou Road, who can guarantee that they will not cooperate with Zhu Xiao in the future to deal with the Daqing Dynasty. The Yang family is guarding Longyou Road, so this hidden danger will eventually harm the Daqing Dynasty.
It's still the Yang family.
"General Yang can rest assured that everything in the Zhenbian Hou Mansion will be handled by the Holy One." A cold voice sounded. Since Yin Wuyan wants to cooperate with the Yang family, the inside story that should be revealed will still be revealed, "As for Zhu Xiao and Zhu Zhengrong, if they
If you dare to have second thoughts, even if they are hiding in the ends of the earth, the Forbidden Dragon Guard will still take their heads!"
If there are other people imprisoned in the capital, Zhenbian Hou, who cannot restrain Zhu Xiao, Yin Wuyan does not mind taking them to go to the barbarians in person. The Forbidden Dragon Guard has never failed to kill someone.
Yang Shoucheng and Old General Yang looked at each other. Sure enough, when it came to power and strategy, the Holy One was the leader. He resurrected the Yang family and firmly controlled the Zhenbian Hou Mansion.
And by using a Zhang family, most of the military power in the hands of the Yang family was taken away. Without spending a single soldier, in less than five years, the Holy Lord will firmly control Longyou Road and have military power.
General Yang looked at Yin Wuyan sternly. His Majesty thought that everything was missing. Unfortunately, the Holy Spirit never thought that his most trusted subordinate might have other thoughts.
But as far as the Yang family is concerned, if the military power of the Holy One is mine, then the Yang family will lose the capital to compete with the Holy One. Killing or beheading can be done in the Holy One's thoughts. If the King wants his ministers to die, they will have to die.
"Okay, I promise you." Old General Yang gave the final result. He has to agree. He is old and his old bones can last for a few years.
Old General Yang looked lovingly at Yang Xu who was sitting below. Xiao Xu was still young and had a long future. He had to leave a chance for Xiao Xu. If the Lord was in his prime, Old General Yang might not be so worried.
After all, the Holy Father was a master of martial arts and had always been tolerant of his loyal ministers.
But once the Holy Emperor appoints a crown prince, or a new emperor comes to power, who knows what the new emperor's character is and what his attitude is towards the Yang family, so General Yang cannot leave the future of Yang Xu and the entire Yang family in the hands of the new emperor.
Yin Wuyan, General Yang, and Yang Shoucheng were still discussing more specific and detailed cooperation. Yang Xu didn't want to hear it, so he walked out and looked at the thick snow on the ground. When he realized what he was doing, he had already reached the study room.
"Why are you here?" Zhan Feiyu just put down his pen and looked at Yang Xu who was led in by He Nuan with a smile.
Gu Qingzhou and Qiu Zongxi left a quarter of an hour ago. The half-hour lecture was over, and Zhan Feiyu needed to understand the rest by himself. The two went to play chess.
"Xiaoyu, your hand?" Yang Xu walked over and looked at Zhan Feiyu's left hand worriedly. Even though he had applied a thick layer of ointment, he could still see that the palm of his hand was not swollen, and even his fingers were swollen.
There was some redness and swelling, enough to tell how heavy Gu Qingzhou's ten blows were.
He raised his left hand like a pig's hoof and shook it. Zhan Feiyu smiled nonchalantly, "It still hurts a little, but I can bear it. Didn't you notice that there is an extra charcoal basin in the study? The teacher is afraid that if I get cold, my hand will hurt even more."
Let An Nuan specially order an extra charcoal basin."
The two of them moved to the charcoal basin and sat down. Zhan Feiyu took the copper sign and stirred the charcoal to make the fire more intense. He put both hands on it to start the fire. "Longyou Road is too cold. I was at home before.
Although it is cold in winter, the charcoal pot in the house will keep it warm."
Winters in the south of the Yangtze River are humid and cold, but the temperature is high. It only freezes outside during the coldest thirty-nine days, and the longest is about ten days, so if you eat well, wear warm clothes, and use a charcoal basin, you really don’t feel too cold.
But Longyou Road is different. There is no charcoal basin in the house, and a glass of water will freeze if left for a while. Zhan Feiyu is naturally afraid of the cold. In addition, he sits down for the whole day when he is studying, so his hands and feet are cold.
Yes, it was so cold that I couldn't even hold a pen to write with my hand.
Yang Xu has long been accustomed to the cold in Longyou Road, and since he is practicing martial arts, he doesn't feel too cold when he stays in the house. Looking at Zhan Feiyu wrapped up into a bear, he wishes he could fall headlong into the charcoal basin.
, Yang Xu could not imagine that such a delicate little girl would dare to risk her life to fight her way out of the barbarian army, and then go to Aozikou to save herself.
Just like Yang Xu said before, he doesn't care what Qiu Jinyu's purpose is, whether he is eager for quick success or quick profit or really values love and justice. If he can go to Aozikou, Yang Xu will remember this kindness.
Of course, Qiu Jinyu's identity as a barbarian spy took revenge, and Yang Xu's mind naturally changed.
"Xiaoyu, when did you find out that Qiu Da...Qiu Jinyu's identity was problematic?" Yang Xu asked in a low voice. After one incident after another, Yang Xu felt more and more that he was incompetent, that he was just a drag and a burden.
Looking up at the dejected Yang Xu, Zhan Feiyu said: "You have a special status, so people who approach you basically have ulterior motives. He saved you on the official road for the first time. The situation was chaotic and everyone died.
Eight ruffians, the timing of his appearance is too coincidental."
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster! Zhan Feiyu also has a "villain's heart". After that, she asked He Sheng to take people to check the bodies of the eight scoundrels. They died at the hands of the guards of the Marquis Mansion at the edge of the town. This
The two guards also obeyed orders.
"When He Sheng checked the wounds, he found that seven of them had smooth wounds. They were all killed by sharp swords. The depth of the wounds was also consistent with the sword of the guards of the Zhenbian Hou Mansion. However, only one of the wounds was abnormal, although it was also a sword wound.
, but based on the depth of the wound, it is estimated that the blade of this sword is slightly thicker, and there is no smell of sword oil at the wound."
Yang Xu was stunned when he heard this. He had never known about this, and he never thought about asking anyone to investigate. When the eight gangsters died that day, they were instigated by interested people, and their families even carried the bodies to Qiu Mansion.
This was to give Yang Xu a bad reputation for killing innocent people indiscriminately and disregarding human lives. In the end, Zhan Feiyu was so heroic that he took money and threw it away, which settled the matter. After all, these gangsters were also a scourge at home. Now that they are dead, everyone will not say anything about celebrating.
, I am actually happy in my heart.
Moreover, Zhan Feiyu was also generous in his dealings. He gave away dozens of taels of silver as soon as he asked. After receiving the money, eight families immediately carried the body back for burial, which fully proved that anything that can be solved with money is no big deal.
When it comes to sword oil for maintaining swords, Yang Xu knows, "Every warrior will maintain his own sword. The weather in Longyou Road is cold, so the oil used to wipe the sword body is also specially made, which is different from other places.
The Central Guizhou Road is very humid and often rains. If it is not maintained frequently, the sword may get rusty. Therefore, the oil used by the warriors on the Central Guizhou Road must be different from that used by the guards of the Zhenbian Hou Mansion, and the smell is also different. Of course,
, if you weren’t as careful as dust, I’m afraid you wouldn’t have discovered this clue.
Recalling the scene when he met Qiu Jinyu that day, Yang Xu finally understood what it means to be a gentleman, to be as gentle as jade, Qiu Jinyu's erudition, his self-cultivation, and his chivalry to draw a sword to help when encountering injustice. At this moment, thinking about it, it turned out to be just a game.
, it’s just a trap to lure yourself into.
"At first glance, the injuries on the eighth corpse are no different from those on the previous ones, but the wounds caused by different weapons are different. The similarity is more like covering up." Zhan Feiyu suspected Qiu Jinyu from the beginning and checked the corpse.
Later, the suspicion deepened.
It's just that the Central Guizhou Road is far away. Even if the Forbidden Dragon Guards help with the investigation, it is impossible to get results for a while. After that, Qiu Jinyu has always behaved very decently. Even if Qiu Zongxi doesn't want to see him, he is not angry at all, and even does the opposite.
Unravel Yang Xu.
Zhan Feiyu felt more and more that something was wrong. The fourteen-year-old boy was also Xiao Sanyuan. Even if he was not high-spirited, he would not have such a good temper. He had gone too far. Zhan Feiyu felt that Qiu Jinyu was hypocritical.
As for her, she would never put a hot face on a cold butt.
Looking at Yang Xu who was deep in thought, Zhan Feiyu said again: "Sanfang and the head of the family are at odds with each other. They have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, and they must have done a lot of dirty things. Otherwise, Mr. Qiu would not be so unkind to Sanfang and even express his anger.
When it comes to Qiu Jinyu, who grew up in an environment full of hatred, Yang Xu, don’t you think Qiu Jinyu is too perfect?”
The most common thing is to be courteous for nothing, and to be either a traitor or a thief. Therefore, even though the news later sent back by the Forbidden Dragon Guard was just speculation, Zhan Feiyu was certain that there was something wrong with Qiu Jinyu.
"So he has so many flaws, but I was so stupid that I didn't notice any of them and still called him brothers?" Yang Xu said with a self-deprecating look on his face, he was really stupid.
Zhan Feiyu grinned and patted Yang Xu's shoulder sympathetically, "Actually, if you think about it the other way around, I went to Aozikou to save you because I was confident. The person who wanted to kill you would not dare to kill me, but Qiu Jinyu
Well, isn't he afraid of death?" If Qiu Jinyu is also afraid
If he is afraid of death, then how can he dare to risk his life to save Yang Xu? Not to mention that they have only known each other for more than a month, even brothers may not be able to do this, so Qiu Jinyu may be like Zhan Feiyu, he
He is also confident and ensures that he will not die.
"Zhu Xiao defected to the barbarians. If Qiu Jinyu was a barbarian spy, then he must have thought that Zhu Xiao would not kill him." Yang Xu suddenly had an idea.
Putting aside the so-called deep brotherhood and sharing life and death, this explanation is more reasonable.
Zhan Feiyu nodded and silently shed tears of sympathy for Qiu Jinyu who died tragically. "It's a pity that neither Barbarian nor Qiu Jinyu knew that Zhu Xiao was just pretending to defect."
Zhu Xiao is brave and good at fighting. Although he is over fifty years old, he still leads troops to fight against the enemy head-on. He does not kill Yang Xu. On the one hand, he does not want to worsen the relationship with the Yang family. On the other hand, he may not bother to take action. Yang Xu is the only one.
The young boy is not qualified enough for Zhu Xiao to take action.
But Qiu Jinyu was a barbarian spy, and Zhu Xiao easily solved this hidden danger. Presumably, after knowing this, the Holy Spirit would feel more at ease about Zhu Xiao being among the barbarians.
"Isn't he afraid that the barbarians will regret and doubt him if they find out?" Yang Xu was stunned. He hated the Zhenbian Hou Mansion, but at this moment, he could not help but feel a little worried.
The barbarians revealed Qiu Jinyu's identity to Zhu Xiao, so that Zhu Xiao could help Qiu Jinyu at a critical moment and win Yang Xu's trust. Who knew that Zhu Xiao did not follow the rules and directly killed the person.
"Qiu Jinyu and ten of his followers are dead. Among those who know the truth, who would reveal the news to the barbarians?" Zhan Feiyu laughed. She even suspected that even if the news was leaked, Zhu Xiao would be able to justify himself.
The two hundred elites that Zhu Xiao brought to the barbarians were his confidants. They were his comrades who could live and die together on the battlefield, so there was no need to doubt their loyalty.
The rest are Zhan Feiyu and Yang Xu. Since they know the truth about Zhu Xiao's defection to the barbarians, and Zhu Xiao has let the two of them go, it is impossible for Zhan Feiyu and the others to retaliate.
…
Before the three days had passed, the news came out that the prince Zhu Xiao and the eldest son Zhu Zhengrong had defected to the barbarians, and the whole Longyou Taoist legend was abuzz.
The Marquis of Zhenbian, along with the rest of his sons and grandchildren, were all escorted to the capital. The former glory of the huge Marquis Mansion was instantly wiped out. Some people even had their family members killed by barbarian butcher knives and poured excrement into the Marquis Mansion.
inside.
Old General Yang was avenged, the Yang family resurrected, and regained military power. Magistrate Zhu who escaped on New Year's Eve was also caught, and the only fate was to be beheaded after the fall.
Linzhou Prefecture.
"Teacher, can't you stay for a few more days?" Zhan Feiyu has lived two lifetimes. She is really not a hypocritical character, but now when she looks at Gu Qingzhou who is about to leave, a feeling of reluctance wells up in her heart, and her voice is choked with sobs.
Gu Qingzhou touched Zhan Feiyu's head and laughed warmly, "You have been sent from Xiangwu County to Linzhou Prefecture. If you are sent further, do you have to go to the capital with your teacher?"
"Eldest brother left in the afternoon of the first year of junior high school." Zhan Feiyu murmured in a low voice, opening the carriage curtain and looking at the bustling market, "Let's have lunch before leaving."
"I have to say goodbye after a long journey... Okay, let's go after dinner." Gu Qingzhou could only agree immediately when he saw Zhan Feiyu's small mouth.
Zhan Feiyu laughed instantly and snorted at Gu Qingzhou, "Teacher, next time you hit me again, I will cry for you."
Her little paw hurt for three full days before the swelling subsided. After the swelling subsided, there was only a trace of bruise on her palm, but she could still feel it if she touched it.
Shaking his head with a smile, Gu Qingzhou said no more. After all, if the little girl wants to put herself in danger next time, He Sheng and the others will not agree.
The carriage slowly stopped in front of the restaurant. The shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he was about to doze off. He quickly got up and came over, "Please come in, please come in, Xiaoshuang, hurry up."
Serve tea, serve good tea!”
During this Chinese New Year, every household has prepared sumptuous meals. As long as relatives and friends paying New Year greetings come to the house, they will be served with good wine and good food, so there are really no customers in the restaurant.
If it weren't for some people who were stranded in Linzhou Prefecture due to the heavy snow and needed accommodation and food, the shopkeeper would have wanted to close the shop and go home to celebrate the New Year.
Although Gu Qingzhou came to Longyou Road in light gear, in addition to the carriage driver, the guards also brought five people. Plus He Sheng and the others, there were almost ten people who opened two tables. After all, there are differences between masters and servants.
"This is our chef's specialty dish, Huadiao Drunken Chicken. Please use it as you please." The waiter opened the lid of the casserole, and a rich aroma filled his nostrils.
Zhan Feiyu's eyes lit up, and he knew with only one glance that the waiter was not exaggerating. You can see ginseng, astragalus, hawthorn, Jiao Sanxian and various precious medicinal materials in the casserole. This is definitely a dish made by slow work and meticulous work.
"It is said that this dish is spicy, with a heroic spirit, and a gentle flavor hidden in the marinade." Zhan Feiyu picked up the serving chopsticks and wanted to give Gu Qingzhou a piece first.
"Wait!" Suddenly, a stop sound sounded at the door of the box.
Zhan Feiyu was startled, and put down the chopsticks he had just raised. When he turned around, he saw a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a green coat and skirt. She pointed at Zhan Feiyu, who was wearing a jade bracelet on her right wrist, which was of ordinary quality.
, I guess she is the maid of some family.
"Miss Qing?" the waiter called out respectfully, but a little confused, "But what's wrong with it?"
"Since the cook has made this Huadiao Drunken Chicken, why don't you give it to my young lady? Have you fed the dogs with all the money you usually give to you?" An angry scolding sounded, and Miss Qing was very angry. She was obviously a girl who had never even had hairpins.
, but this aggressive and domineering attitude looks more like those country women at first glance.
The waiter didn't dare to reply because he was being scolded, so he just explained in a nonchalant manner, "Miss Qing, this dish is slowly stewed with fine Huadiao wine using the method of alternating civil and military fires. There is wine in the dish."
Huadiao wine has the effect of promoting blood circulation and promoting qi. Coupled with the various precious medicinal materials placed in it, this dish not only tastes great, but is also a rare tonic, but it is not suitable for children.
"You're blind, that damn girl can eat it, but my lady can't eat it?" Miss Qing was so angry that she kicked the waiter in the leg unceremoniously, "Why don't you bring me the food?
You've neglected my lady, I don't think you want to open this restaurant!"
Even though the dish contains ginseng and Huadiao wine, it is a dish that greatly replenishes vitality. In fact, eating it in small amounts is not harmful.
But the waiter at the shop remembered that the reason for the drunken duck dish was because it contained the most authentic white knife from Linzhou Prefecture. Not to mention that the dish was smashed in the end, everyone from the shopkeeper to the waiters and the cooks in the kitchen were ruined by Miss Qing.
He was scolded severely.
After all, her daughter was only twelve years old after the Chinese New Year, and she was taking supplements prescribed by famous doctors, so she couldn't drink alcohol, even if there was alcohol in the dishes.
If the young lady can’t eat, why can’t she eat it herself? Smelling the tempting aroma of the sesame, Miss Qing is even more annoyed. Fortunately, she arrived in time, and the old man, young master and grandson had not had time to move their chopsticks, otherwise they would have been pinched by these untouchables.
How can I eat the food myself?
Normally, Zhan Feiyu would definitely teach this maid how to be a good person, but this time she had to cherish the time with the teacher and shouted directly, "A Nuan, come out."
He Sheng and the others opened another table for dinner in the adjacent Yage. Miss Qing was yelling at the door, and He Nuan and the others immediately put down their chopsticks.
Hearing Zhan Feiyu's order, He Nuan stepped forward unceremoniously and dragged the person away. When Miss Qing was about to scream, she exerted force on her wrist, and Miss Qing was suddenly speechless in pain.
Already.
The waiter was dumbfounded. Miss Qing hit a brick wall this time, "You two gentlemen, please use it slowly."
After saying that, the waiter thoughtfully closed the door of the Accord. It was hard to tell that the girl just now was still a practicing artist.
"Teacher, look how well-behaved I am and how trouble-free I am." Zhan Feiyu hummed proudly.
As the only disciple of the current Grand Master, I could have been domineering and arrogant, but what happened? I was so obedient and sensible, and did not cause trouble to my teacher at all. Wow, just thinking about it made Zhan Feiyu feel proud.
Already.
Gu Qingzhou was amused by her shameless appearance, "Compared to you, those dudes are nothing but witches."
Those dandy boys in the capital are at best uneducated and lackeys, and some are incompetent bullies of men and women. When they cause trouble, the elders in the family have to step in to deal with it. If they offend someone with a good background, they have to give up.
The old man came to apologize.
But in the final analysis, they are all trivial matters. What about Zhan Feiyu? She is usually well-behaved, but when she causes trouble, it is something that can be brought to the court for discussion.
Looking at Zhan Feiyu who was pouting and still unconvinced, Gu Qingzhou picked up a piece of drunken wine with his chopsticks and said slowly: "The Chen family in Zhongzhou Prefecture?"
Uh... When he thought of the feud he had with the eldest prince's wife, Chen Xuezheng, Zhan Feiyu laughed awkwardly and forgot about the incident. The chicken had been soaked in Huadiao wine, and under the high temperature, most of the wine flavor was lost.
It evaporates, and a small part is absorbed by the chicken. When you bite it, it is tender and juicy, with the unique aroma of Huadiao wine. It can be regarded as a delicacy even if it is placed in Beijing.
"Huai'an Mansion." Although Gu Qingzhou did not directly name the Liu family of the imperial merchant, the feud was still forged, and he was able to take away 200,000 taels from the Liu family and gave it to Deng Zhiwu to take away.
Moreover, he transferred the tea mountain under Liu Hefeng's name to his own name. As for the remaining 250,000 taels of silver, Zhan Feiyu took out 100,000 taels and put it in the Liu family's winery, and the remaining 150,000 taels were exchanged.
It became an industry in the capital city.
Thinking of this, Gu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows, and somewhat admired Zhan Feiyu's ability to make money. How many people could not earn a hundred thousand taels of silver in their lifetime. The little girl was not Wenquxing, she was probably the reincarnation of the God of Wealth.
It's hundreds of thousands of dollars. In a few years, the teacher Gu Qingzhou will probably not be as rich as she is.
Zhan Feiyu, who had "lots of evil deeds", couldn't laugh anymore. He sat up straight and tried to clear himself up, "But I didn't cause any trouble on Qianzhong Road!"
"If the truth about Qiu Jinyu's murder is known to the barbarians, do you think you can still live in peace?" Gu Qingzhou bluntly exposed Zhan Feiyu's self-deception.
Although it is now rumored that Qiu Jinyu died in Aozikou, as for who killed him, in the middle of the night, in the dark of Aozikou, there was another melee. God knows who killed him.
Later, Dou Qianhu led the guardsmen to collect the corpses at Aozikou. There were seventy-eight corpses, as well as a large number of swords, which is enough to show how fierce and dangerous the battle was at that time.
After the body was taken away, many people went to check the hole. There was no body, but the blood was still there. Some people were picking out a hand in the snowdrift. It almost scared people to the point of peeing in broad daylight.
.
All his old tricks were exposed. Zhan Feiyu laughed twice, picked up his chopsticks and started to eat. He said, "The teacher is too ruthless even if it's difficult."
It is indeed the best way to blame Qiu Jinyu's death on those who intercepted and killed Yang Xu. Zhu Xiao, who is far away from the barbarians, does not need to face the barbarians' suspicions.
Similarly, Zhan Feiyu and Yang Xu also save trouble.
The key is that the information has not been leaked. The Forbidden Dragon Guards can continue to monitor the third room of the Qiu family, and maybe they can follow the clues to find out other spies lurking in the Daqing Dynasty. It can be said that they kill three birds with one stone.
The master and the apprentice talked while eating. As for the aristocratic family's emphasis on not talking when eating and sleeping, they stayed where they could cool off.
"It depends on the owner to beat a dog. Isn't there no royal law in Linzhou Prefecture?" The voice was slightly sharp, and it was the unique voice of a little girl.
However, He Sheng and the others were guarding the door of the Accord, and neither the master nor the disciple bothered to pay attention. After all, after eating this meal, Gu Qingzhou was about to return to the capital, and Zhan Feiyu returned to Xiangwu County. When the temperature warmed up a little, the official road was filled with people.
The snow has melted, and Zhan Feiyu has to continue his study tour.
"Miss, is it me who was injured by that bitch?" She had just been arrogant to the waiter in the store, but at this moment, Miss Qing looked delicate and aggrieved, and even exposed her wrist. There was a bruise on her wrist.
Fingerprints, He Nuan did not leave any hands at that time.
To a certain extent, the personal maid represents the face of her own lady. If her maid is beaten, it is equivalent to a slap in the face. Although Qiu Jingyuan is not old, she is only twelve years old after the Chinese New Year, but she has great momentum.
Not small.
In addition to the maid and mother-in-law standing beside her, as well as the servants and guards standing a little further away, there were more than ten people in front and behind.
This does not include the guards who stayed vigil last night and are still resting now. Qiu Jingyuan brought a total of more than thirty people with her on this trip.
"Jingyuan, you have a distinguished status. Let my aunt handle this matter." The woman who finished speaking was also dressed elegantly and luxuriously, with a complete set of gilt hair and face. Not only did she wear jade bracelets on her hands, but she also wore sapphire-embedded bracelets on her fingers.
If the gold ring and this outfit were converted into silver, it would probably be enough for an ordinary farmer to eat and drink for ten years.
Qiu Jingyuan, who was self-reliant on her status, really didn't look like talking to a few villains and belittled her own worth. She was also very angry just now. Now her aunt spoke, Qiu Jingyuan still had the same condescending attitude and just nodded.
Although Qian is from the Qian family, a businessman, she manages all the Qian family's businesses secretly. The men of the Qian family only act as a face, and any decision needs to be made by Qian.
Precisely because the Qian family was of high seniority and was a shrewd person, he had been doing business for many years and had endless tricks. Therefore, after the third house of the Qiu family received the news of Qiu Jinyu's death, the third house on Qianzhong Road could not rush over immediately.
I thought of Mr. Qian.
It happened that Qiu Jingyuan, a delicate girl, had run away from home and was spending the Chinese New Year at Qian's house, so the group rushed over immediately. Although the snow on the official road had not melted yet, they were still very close. They arrived at Linzhou Mansion at noon yesterday.
He Nuan and He Sheng were still standing at the door of the Accord. The two brothers and sisters looked calm, but this calmness was irritating. On one side, they jumped up and cursed, but on the other side, nothing happened. This was clearly not the case for Qiu Jingyuan and his party.
People take it seriously.
"This girl, even if Qinghong's words are inappropriate, she should be punished by our master. The girl hits someone without saying anything. A wealthy family does not have such rules." Qian's figure is slightly stout, and her face is round and rich.
There was a smile on her face when she spoke, like the kindest woman possible, but if you could ignore the shrewdness and calculation in her eyes, it would be even more like her.
He Nuan and He Sheng were dressed a little worse than the maids of the Qiu family. At least Qinghong also wore a pair of silver hairpins on her head and pearl pendants on her ears, but He Nuanzhi fixed her bun with a hairband.
, I did wear earrings, but they were just pearls the size of mung beans.
The fabric of the clothes looks a little worse. Qinghong's coat and skirt are not only thick, but also edged with silver thread, and there are exquisite embroideries on the hem. This coat is estimated to cost four to five taels of silver.
Respecting Luo Shang first and then respecting others, He Nuan's simple dress naturally made Qian's attitude much more contemptuous. They could also bring out the aristocratic family, implying that they and their group had a good background.
He Nuan glanced at Mr. Qian lightly, but was stingy and didn't even say a word. He still stood guard at the door with He Sheng. This contemptuous gesture was enough to make people angry to death.
After all, Mr. Qian is also a figure who has worked hard in the business world. Although he is angry in his heart, he does not show it on his face.
Today I will teach you the rules of how to treat others."
As Qian finished speaking, two guards came forward and stared at He Sheng eagerly, while two women and another woman in her thirties walked towards He Nuan.
This woman is not dressed like a woman. Judging from her walking posture and posture, she is obviously a practicing artist. But it is right to think about it. Qian is managing the Qian family's business. When she has to go out, she is always a man.
When it comes to nursing homes, there will inevitably be inconveniences, so she spent money to hire a female nursing home.
"Brother, don't disturb Miss's meal." He Nuan said, but at the same time as the female nursing home took action, the figure dodged in a flash.
But before everyone could react, a sharp voice rang out, "Let me go!"
He Nuan restrained Qiu Jingyuan with one hand. He thought she was making a fuss. He moved his left hand, and a sharp knife was placed on her neck.
Immediately, Qiu Jingyuan became quiet, and the rest of the Qiu family were also silent. No one dared to act rashly. The dagger was extremely sharp at first glance. If it cuts through the blood vessels in the neck, even the Great Luo Immortal will not be able to save her.
Qian's face changed drastically. Even though she had always been calm and composed, she was now panicking, "Don't act recklessly. If you fall in love with a noble man, even your young lady can't afford to pay for it if you don't talk about it!"
"Shut up, who says one more word!" He Nuan's voice was cold, and his cold eyes glanced at the audience in warning. The threat was self-evident.
Well, no one really dared to speak this time. The kidnapped Qiu Jingyuan was so frightened that her legs were shaking. No matter how arrogant and domineering she was, she even dared to run away from the Qiu family, but after all, she was just a twelve-year-old girl.
In the past, in Qianzhongdao, because her surname was Qiu, those people would support her and fawn over her, and her temper would naturally get louder. But who knew that He Nuan would go to the knife when he encountered a disagreement.
In the Accord, there was no movement outside. Zhan Feiyu knew without thinking that He Nuan wanted to capture the thief first, so he couldn't help but said: "Teacher, have you noticed that something is wrong with An Nuan these days?"
He Nuan was usually gentle and gentle, but in the past few days, Zhan Feiyu clearly felt that He Nuan had changed. In the past, when he practiced boxing in the morning, A Nuan would accompany him, and when he was studying, he would sit in the study room.
Sewing and mending.
But now, whenever he doesn't need to take care of Zhan Feiyu, He Nuan goes to practice martial arts, and every move is fierce.
"With such a careless master like you, no matter what changes He Nuan makes, you will force him to do so." Gu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhan Feiyu as if he were the culprit. This time, the little girl put herself in danger.
, the He family brothers and sisters felt extremely guilty and guilty. Although nothing happened, what if something happened?
Is it his fault again? Zhan Fei puffed up his cheeks angrily and said quietly: "Teacher, shouldn't you be helping me but not taking care of me?"
"As thick-skinned as the city wall." Gu Qingzhou smiled and shook his head. He had almost eaten by now. If he didn't hurry up, he might not be able to reach the inn at night. Even the Lian family couldn't bear it if they slept in the wild in this weather.
live.
The door of the Accord opened with a creak from the inside, and the people standing outside turned around and looked over. After all, Qiu Jingyuan was still being held in He Nuan's hands at this moment, with a dagger on her neck. They did not dare to act rashly.
"This is the master." Qian was waiting anxiously and hurried forward. Gu Qingzhou's demeanor showed that he was a scholar, which made Qian's heart skip a beat. Fortunately, the Qiu family had a good background, so he was not worried.
"Master, we meet by chance. Even if there is a slight conflict of words, the maid of your noble house is too overbearing. Not to mention the noble status of my family, even if you are an ordinary citizen, the maid of your house will act like this.
You're going to jail!" Qian once again pointed out Qiu Jingyuan's identity. If it weren't for the worry that He Nuan would hurt Qiu Jingyuan, Qian would have had He Nuan taken down a long time ago. How could he be so low-key and petty?
Zhan Feiyu looked at He Nuan who was holding the hostage, and felt that Nuan was showing signs of turning black. "A Nuan, I'll send the teacher out first."
If they were released, there would probably still be a fuss. In order not to delay Gu Qingzhou's time, Zhan Feiyu glanced at Qiu Jingyuan apologetically.
This girl also said that being well-behaved saves trouble. In Gu Qingzhou's opinion, she was simply the ancestor who caused trouble.
Qian was dumbfounded. How could he have thought that this cute little girl would act like this? However, Qiu Jingyuan was still in He Nuan's hands. No matter how angry she was, Qian could only hold it in and watch Zhan Feiyu and Gu Qingzhou helplessly.
Walked towards the stairs.
At this moment, a guard got the signal from Qian's eyes and suddenly attacked. The target was naturally Zhan Feiyu, who had turned away. This was because he planned to treat the other person with his own medicine.
Not to mention that the five guards behind Gu Qingzhou were all top-notch masters, and one of them was an imperial guard given by the Holy Emperor back then. How could a young man sneak attack Zhan Feiyu?
Bang! Everyone felt a figure flash in front of them. The guard who was sneaking up on him was kicked out by He Sheng and hit the ancient bookshelf beside the wall. There was a crackling sound and the porcelain on it was broken a little.
The shopkeeper and the waiter were huddled in the corner with expressions of pain on their faces, but neither of them dared to step forward. These are ruthless men who draw their swords at the slightest disagreement, and they cannot be offended.
Without even pausing, Zhan Feiyu and Gu Qingzhou went downstairs and walked to the backyard where the carriage was parked.
"Okay, you will come to the capital after passing the provincial examination in three years." Gu Qingzhou smiled and touched Zhan Feiyu's head. The reason why the time was set in three years was also the result of Gu Qingzhou and Yin Wuyan's previous discussion.
.
In the past, one of them was a bachelor of the cabinet, and the other was the commander of the Forbidden Dragon Guard who made the courtiers talk about it. The two of them could be said to have high positions of power, but neither Gu Qingzhou nor Yin Wuyan had any desire for a powerful position, so they
It takes three years to operate.
When Zhan Feiyu went to the capital three years later, even the princes in the palace would not dare to bully her. Moreover, no matter which prince the Holy Emperor appointed as the crown prince, they would be able to protect Zhan Feiyu.
He nodded obediently and watched Gu Qingzhou get on the carriage. The guards also got on their horses. Zhan Feiyu stepped aside even though he was reluctant.
In the carriage, Gu Qingzhou lowered the curtain. He was worried that this girl would continue to send her shamelessly. Then she would really be sent to the capital. "Go back, don't forget that He Nuan is still in the restaurant."
Zhan Feiyu bowed solemnly to the carriage and said, "Teacher, have a nice trip. Farewell, my disciple."
The sound of horse hoofbeats sounded, and a carriage and five horses gradually disappeared from sight. Zhan Feiyu stared at it for a long time and suppressed his reluctance, "Ah Sheng, let's go back and save Ah Nuan."
"Yes." He Sheng agreed. The lady could still joke, so she wouldn't feel so uncomfortable.
On the second floor of the restaurant, Zhan Feiyu heard sharp and harsh yells before he went upstairs, "You dare to commit murder in Linzhou Mansion. I think you are too brave to let Miss Qiu go."
Are you deaf?"
In contrast to Qian, who was uneasy but still restrained her emotions, the scolding lady seemed a bit aggressive. However, she was only accompanied by her mother-in-law, maid, the boy driving the carriage and the entourage downstairs. The lady could only keep her words.
Strong.
Like an old monk sitting in meditation, the sharp blade in He Nuan's hand is still firmly clamped on Qiu Jingyuan's neck.
"Mrs. Zhang, the servant girl's master is back." As soon as he saw Zhan Feiyu, Qian quickly interrupted the scolding Mrs. Zhang, but a look of disdain flashed across her eyes. This was still an official wife, and she was just such a shrew.
Fortunately, he was reincarnated in a good way.
"I want to see which little bitch raised a bitch who dared to commit crimes under my eyes!" Mrs. Zhang turned around and was still stunned when she looked at the short and squat Zhan Feiyu wrapped up like a bear.
After a moment, I probably didn't expect that it was a girl even younger than Qiu Jingyuan.
Seeing the unfamiliar face, Mrs. Zhang snorted coldly, raised her chin and said: "Which girl are you from, and who are your parents? You dare to be so lawless with a maidservant. Today, Japanese ladies must teach you."
You behave yourself, why don’t you let the person go quickly!”
Linzhou Prefecture is the territory of the Zhang family, and although the head of the Zhang family is still Mr. Zhang, the fourth-grade prefect, Zhang Minxian is the next heir and a fellow magistrate of Linzhou Prefecture. Mrs. Zhang is the prefect of Linzhou Prefecture.
In the circle of officials and wives, they are the ones who always speak the truth.
As for the magistrate of Linzhou Prefecture, it was Zhang Minhua's father-in-law, Mr. Zhou. The two families were related by marriage, and Zhang Minhua's mother-in-law stayed in neighboring Shanzhou. Therefore, Mrs. Zhang only dared to be so domineering because she was the same as Mrs. Zhi.
Zhan Feiyu has an unfamiliar face again. With her delicate appearance, she must be a girl from some small family. As long as she has a certain status, the female family members of the family will bring her to visit Mrs. Zhang. Although she looks at people with her nostrils turned upward, her memory is unclear.
It is so good that no one who has seen it will forget it.
When Mrs. Zhang was in her boudoir, she relied on this memory to become a talented woman, so she was the daughter of a military commander, but she successfully married Zhang Minxian.
It was also after her marriage that she gave birth to the eldest son and grandson of the Zhang family. Only then did Mrs. Zhang reveal her true colors. She was a talented woman and a well-educated woman, but she was just a fool. The poems she had written before were all written by the wives of the family. All she had to do was memorize them.
After I came down, I also memorized some of the Four Books and Five Classics. Whenever there was a flower party or a banquet, I would hang a few words on my book bag, and I would get the reputation of being famous.
"Ah Nuan, let him go." Zhan Feiyu said this, and Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but feel proud.
As soon as she was free, Qiu Jingyuan subconsciously touched her neck. The feeling of the sharp knife on her neck seemed to still exist. Until she was twelve years old, Qiu Jingyuan had never suffered such a big loss.
"Jingyuan, are you okay? I've worried my aunt to death." Qian hugged Qiu Jingyuan distressedly, and finally felt relieved. If something happened under her nose, Qian would
The family did not eat her alive, especially after Qiu Jinyu died tragically, and Jingyuan was the only child in the third room.
She was disgusted and pushed Qian away. The force was so strong that Qian was pushed unprepared and staggered. Fortunately, even though her maid gave her a hand, Qian didn't fall down and squat on her butt.
"How dare you attack me?" A sharp and piercing cry rang out. Qiu Jingyuan was obviously a beautiful girl with pink makeup, but now her face was twisted with anger, and she stared at Zhan with cannibalistic eyes.
Feiyu and He Nuan, "Catch these two bitches and beat them to death on the spot!"
Qiu Jingyuan gave the order, and several guards immediately rushed towards the two of them brutally. They had done this kind of thing in Qianzhong Road in recent years. Of course, those who were beaten to death were usually servants, and their death was in vain.
, who dares to go to the Qiu family to seek justice.
Although they brought along Zhan Feiyu as their master this time, they held Qiu Jingyuan hostage first, so don't blame them for being rude!
"Xiannie, please feel free to vent your anger. If anything happens, my aunt will take care of it for you." Mrs. Zhang said in agreement. If she hooked up with the Qiu family, would the old witch in the family still dare to hold on to her husband?
Mr. Qiu is a fourth-grade prefect, but his post is in Suzhou Prefecture, the southernmost part of Longyou Road. Linzhou Prefecture is the territory of the Zhang family, and Zhang Minxian is there. In addition, Prefect Zhou and the Zhang family are related by marriage.
Naturally, Min Xian took care of him in every way. Once Magistrate Zhou became an official, Zhang Minxian would definitely take over the post of Magistrate.
What Mrs. Zhang is most dissatisfied with is that the middle child of the Zhang family is taken care of by her mother-in-law. No matter how aggressive and domineering her daughter-in-law is, she is still a generation younger in status. This resentment has been held in for almost twenty years. Mrs. Zhang wishes she could
Immediately establish a relationship with the Qiu family, and then fuck the mother-in-law and take charge of the family.
Although Qiu Jingyuan and Mrs. Zhang met for the first time, they seemed to hit it off immediately. After the guards took action, they waited to see Zhan Feiyu and He Nuan die tragically.
It’s a pity that things went counterproductive!
There were several bangs, accompanied by the guards' screams of pain, and each of the guards in the Qiu Mansion was beaten until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen. They fell to the ground in pain and were unable to get up.
Zhan Feiyu, who was standing aside, blinked and looked at He Sheng and He Nuan with surprised eyes. Why did he feel that Ah Sheng had also changed and became as cruel as Ah Nuan?
In the past, He Sheng and the others used small punishments and big warnings, just kicking people out and incapacitating them. But just now, Zhan Feiyu could see clearly that He Sheng and He Nuan were punching to the flesh.
Zhan Feiyu felt pain when he heard the dull voice.
"You are so rebellious, you actually dare to take action!" Mrs. Zhang was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, her voice was shrill with anger, and she looked at Zhan Feiyu and the other two angrily, "You were captured without any effort, how can I spare my life, Mrs. Zhang?"
You're a piece of shit, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
Zhan Feiyu rolled his eyes speechlessly. If he had been caught without mercy, he would have been beaten to death. "Go back."
"Don't leave!" Seeing that Zhan Feiyu had beaten someone and wanted to leave, Mrs. Zhang shouted angrily again, "Go to the police immediately and call all the Yamen policemen over here!"
The shopkeeper had a grimace on his face, but he also knew that Mrs. Zhang's temper would really make the police tear down the restaurant if she was offended. He could only walk out of the corner hurriedly, "Yes, I'll report it to the official right now."
"
Although the guards were severely beaten, they did not dare to hide now. They all endured the pain and got up to block the stairs, making it clear that they would not let Zhan Feiyu leave.
He Nuan sneered when he saw this, and looked over with cold eyes. The guards blocking the road trembled in fright, and their legs kept shaking, fearing that He Nuan would beat them up again in anger.
"Miss?" He Nuan asked Zhan Feiyu.
"Okay, let's wait for the government officials to come over and save us the trouble." Zhan Feiyu didn't leave either. He Sheng brought a chair over and Zhan Feiyu sat down holding the hand stove.
There were patrolling government officials on the street, so as soon as the shopkeeper went out and walked a few steps, he saw someone. No, as soon as the four government officials heard that it was Mrs. Zhang's order, they pushed the shopkeeper away and ran over.
"You..." The shopkeeper was pushed and staggered, and before he could finish speaking, the four of them ran away.
The waiter at the side of the shop said in a low voice: "Shopkeeper, should we go to the Yamen? That's the Lian family, and the four servants used to give people away."
There were ten guards on Miss Qiu's side, but in the end they were beaten to pieces by two of them. The four guards were of no use.
"It's better to go to the Yamen and tell the boss." The shopkeeper was also timid, but he didn't dare to offend Mrs. Zhang, so he took the waiter and ran to the Yamen to report the matter.
There were hurried footsteps downstairs, but before anyone arrived, angry shouts were already heard, "Who dares to be rude to Mrs. Zhang!"
The four government officials ran up the stairs, holding swords high in their right hands with a fierce look. They glanced around and finally rushed towards the guards of Qiu Mansion.
Capture them without mercy!"
It’s no wonder that the government officials would admit their mistake. Zhan Feiyu was sitting in the corner. Although He Sheng and He Nuan were standing next to him, the faces of the two brothers and sisters looked kind and honest. Not to mention that at Zhan Feiyu’s age, it was naturally impossible for him to be
Murderer!
As for Qiu Jingyuan, she was standing with Mrs. Zhang, surrounded by maids and women, so the only people on the second floor who might be thugs were these bruised and bruised guards.
"You are blind, you have arrested the wrong person!" Mrs. Zhang roared angrily, pointing a finger at Zhan Feiyu, "Catch this little bitch to me, and her two thugs.
.”
Uh... The four government officials suddenly stopped and turned to look at the smiling Zhan Feiyu. Is this little girl the murderer? "Why are you still standing there stupidly? Do it!" Mrs. Zhang found out for the first time that these government officials were too stupid and she was angry.
He cursed, "Do you all want to take off your clothes and go back to the countryside to farm?"
The four government officials who were intimidated were all excited. Not to mention that Zhan Feiyu was a little girl, even if she was a ghost or not a human being, they would arrest her even if Mrs. Zhang gave the order!
Just like what the waiter said before, these four government officials were here to kill people. As soon as they rushed over, He Sheng took care of them, one to four, and the beating was so clean and tidy.
"They're all trash!" Looking at the government servant who fell at his feet, Mrs. Zhang got angry and kicked him.
Well, the four government officials who were lying on the ground unable to move now believed that Zhan Feiyu was the murderer, and the attack was too harsh. They were injured during the Chinese New Year. This was too unkind. According to Linzhou Prefecture
As the old saying goes, if you have been beaten at the beginning of the new year, it is estimated that the next whole year will not be smooth, and you may be beaten every now and then.
A quarter of an hour later.
Mrs. Zhang was so angry that she almost vomited blood. When she saw the agents who came with the shopkeeper, she felt a little calmer. However, she was still unhappy and had a bad attitude. "Captain Jiang just came now. Could it be that he did it on purpose?"
Are you procrastinating and trying to murder this lady? If we wait for help, the body will probably be cold."
Jiang Captou is a strong man in his forties, tall and burly, with a beard on his face, and his voice is even louder, "I'll forgive you, Madam, after the shopkeeper came to the Yamen to report, his subordinates came over immediately with his people.
"
"Huh! It's just because I have some military skills that I don't take my wife seriously." Mrs. Zhang said coldly. She is the daughter of a military commander. She originally planned to transfer her nephew to Linzhou Mansion to be a head catcher, but unfortunately
The man named Jiang was so arrogant that he even dared to occupy the position of head catcher.
Mrs. Zhang wanted to use some tricks, but who would have thought that Jiang Captou's daughter-in-law was Mrs. Zhang's niece. Although she was out of the fifth server and had no contact with her on weekdays, she was still related to her.
Before Mrs. Zhang could take action, she was beaten by Zhang Minxian. She was so angry that she was angry for three days, but she did not dare to lose her temper with her mother-in-law, so she always looked down upon Mr. Jiang.
It's a pity that she is a female family member, and the other party is the head catcher of the yamen. The two of them have nothing to do with each other. Besides, Zhang Minxian is the one who makes the decision in the yamen. No matter how Mrs. Zhang expresses or hints, those officials are also cunning and will not accept any of them if they don't pretend to be stupid.
trick.
After all, Jiang Captou is also Mr. Zhang’s cousin. They are stupid and would only attack Jiang Captou. That is not a slap in Mr. Zhang’s face.
"My lord, the little lady Qian from Shanzhou Prefecture, this matter is because..." Qian was indeed a shrewd person. He explained the matter in a few words, and the fault was all transferred to Zhan Feiyu. After all, who was it?
Nuan pinched and injured Qinghong first, and then took Qiu Jingyuan hostage.
"Jiang Shan, this is the daughter of the Qiu family in Central Guizhou Province. She was injured by a gangster under your nose. Who do you think you are as a catcher?" Mrs. Zhang arrogantly and unreasonably put the blame on Jiang, the catcher.
Who made him the head catcher and responsible for the security of Linzhou Prefecture? If something goes wrong, if he doesn't take responsibility, who will?
The Qiu family on Qianzhong Road? Zhan Feiyu, who had been watching the excitement, looked at Qiu Jingyuan in surprise. No wonder he was so powerful. He was a member of the Qiu family. Is this a direct branch or a side branch?
Thinking of Qiu Jinyu who was killed, even if the news spread back to the Qiu family, the people from the third bedroom would not come so quickly, let alone a cute little girl. Could it be a branch of the Qiu family on Qianzhong Road?
But that’s not right. If this was a side branch, the person who came to Xiangwu County to collect Qiu Jinyu’s body should also be a man.
Ignoring Mrs. Zhang who was holding chicken feathers as a token of authority, Jiang Captou first asked the four yamen servants and found out that they were all beaten by He Sheng. Jiang Captou knew what he was doing, and then took a look at the Qiu Mansion guards with bruises and swollen faces.
He wanted to use his power to bully others, but unfortunately he ran into a tough fight and was dealt with in the end.
Qiu Jingyuan has never suffered such a big loss. Although she is only a twelve-year-old girl, her bossy attitude is comparable to that of Mrs. Zhang. "How can I not arrest them when I have so many nonsense to ask?"
Maybe he’s a spy from the barbarians!”
"Yes, Jiang Shan, are you trying to protect the barbarian spies? Or are you colluding with the barbarians?" Mrs. Zhang agreed, staring at Jiang Captou with a sinister look, wishing to have him nailed to death.
The position of the head catcher was now vacant. She and Mrs. Zhi had spoken up to each other in Linzhou Mansion, and when they returned to her parents' home, they also praised Haikou. The position of the head catcher was not just a matter of her words.
Therefore, it was a minor matter that the matter was not accomplished. The key was the loss of face. Mrs. Zhang could not swallow her bad breath, so whenever she got the chance, she would target Jiang and never give up until he was captured.
"My brother must have been killed by them. I order you to arrest him immediately and kill him without mercy!" When thinking of Qiu Jinyu's death, Qiu Jingyuan couldn't describe how she felt. In the past, she was jealous but unwilling to give in. Qiu Jingyuan cursed her many times.
It would be great if Qiu Jinyu died, so that his parents would love him even more.
It's a pity that the person is really dead, and Qiu Jingyuan feels unhappy.
Zhan Feiyu's eyes widened suddenly, looking frightened. This nonsense was so accurate that he could become a fortune teller.
Jiang Baotou naturally knows what happened on the night of the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month in Xiangwu County, but the death of Qiu Jinyu is indeed a pity. Anyone who knows must say that he is jealous of talents. The fourteen-year-old Xiao Sanyuan was born in the Qiu family in central Guizhou Province.
, so what if you are a third-family member of the side branch, with a well-established road, no one who becomes an official in the future can be ranked among the three nobles, and be the most respected minister.
But Qiu Jinyu's death was so casually blamed on a little girl. Jiang Captou looked at the domineering and unreasonable Qiu Jingyuan, and realized that this was also the rich daughter of the Qiu family. Her upbringing was quite different.
But Zhan Feiyu was indeed unreasonable. No matter what the reason for the conflict was, He Nuan put a sharp knife on Qiu Jingyuan's neck. This was a big mistake, not to mention Qiu Jingyuan's high status.
Zhan Feiyu glanced at the aggressive Mrs. Zhang and Qiu Jingyuan, smiled at Jiang Baotou and said, "Excuse me, I'd like to go to the government office one more time, and I'll be visiting with Zhang Tongzhi, an old friend from Xiangwu County."
