Zhan Feiyu decided to send someone to interrogate Zhao Yuan, and Magistrate Jiao and Mrs. Jiao also agreed. However, they saw a young man in black clothes walking in from outside the house, but he did not even look at Magistrate Jiao who was sitting on the throne.
Zhan Feiyu bowed respectfully.
Could this be the dead man of the Bachelor's Mansion? Jiao Lianping sat up straight and stared at the young man in front of him with ordinary features and an ordinary breath, who would not be recognized even if he was thrown into a crowd. There was not even a trace of chill in this man.
He has no energy and is thin, and he doesn't even look like a practicing practitioner.
Different from Jiao Lianping's superficial ability to identify people, Magistrate Jiao noticed the difference. This man looked ordinary at first glance, but his eyes were cold and indifferent, like an endless abyss. Only a person who lives in darkness can have such a dead look.
eyes.
This? Zhan Feiyu's eyes suddenly widened, and he didn't even see him take action, but the rope tied to Zhao Yuan instantly fell into pieces. Even if it was broken by internal force, it only broke the rope without hurting anyone, so it was absolutely
It's not something that ordinary practitioners can do.
…
Zhan Feiyu retracted one foot that he had stepped out, and turned to look at Zhao Yuan, who was looking forward to death. This was because he would not shed tears until he saw the coffin, and he would drag himself into the water even if he died.
"Okay, stop chirping, just say that I am the one who ordered you to kill Jiao Lianping." Jiao Lianping kicked Zhao Yuan angrily, but he forgot that he still had a whip.
He was hurt and grimacing in pain.
Zhan Feiyu almost laughed out loud when he saw Jiao Lianping's expression of gasping in pain. What he said was really right. The person in charge was most likely this young lady. Husband and wife were one, Jiao Da
Young master, the truth is revealed.
"Shut up, what nonsense are you talking about!" Magistrate Jiao glared angrily, feeling helpless at his eldest son's unrestrained talk, but he also believed that even if Jiao Lianping didn't like Lianyu, his younger brother, he would not commit murder.
Come.
Aunt Huang was still wiping her tears at this time. If Zhan Feiyu killed people for no reason, Aunt Huang would not believe it, but the mother and son of Dafang?
Aunt Huang lowered her head and glanced over with a calm expression. The master was convinced of the character of the madam and the eldest young master. But today, the madam had a falling out with the old master because of the beaten eldest young master, and even interrogated all the servants in the house.
Once again, maybe it was Madam who instigated it.
The hateful lady has been pretending to be a good wife and mother for many years. If she says that she paid to kill someone, the servants in the mansion will not believe it, nor will anyone else in the Qianzhong mansion. The master will not believe it either. Perhaps this is the real purpose of the madam's disguise for many years.
!
"Let Miss Zhan laugh." Magistrate Jiao spoke again, looking at Mrs. Jiao who said sincerely: "Madam, could you please send Miss Zhan back to Caiweixuan to rest."
"Sir, since this dirty water has been poured on me again and again, why not investigate and get to the bottom of it tonight?" Zhan Feiyu had no intention of interfering. Even if the instigator was the Chen family, this was still a household matter of the Jiao family, and he was just a
outsider.
Magistrate Jiao hesitated for a moment and then agreed. Zhan Feiyu is a scholar. She will have to take the imperial examination in the future. If today's incident is not investigated clearly, it is inevitable that someone will spread the news if the people in Jiao Mansion are too talkative. Maybe they will be accused of paying to commit murder.
crime.
Mrs. Chen originally thought that once Zhao Yuan died, and before he died, he framed the crime on Zhan Feiyu, no one would doubt her anymore.
But this time it seemed that Magistrate Jiao was serious about it. Mrs. Chen suddenly tightened her hands, feeling uneasy in her heart. Zhao Yuan was still alive. If he couldn't bear the punishment and confessed, what should he do?
Jiao Lianping also wanted to find out which warrior was going to kill the hypocrite Jiao Lianyu, so even if the wound on his body hurt, he would still sit firmly on the chair.
Looking at Mr. Chen who was standing aside anxiously as if he was bitten by mosquitoes, Jiao Lianping said angrily: "If you are tired, go back and rest."
It's easy to avoid being embarrassed by staying here. The key point is to talk nonsense. Jiao Lianping is scared now. Is it scary to be stupid? The biggest fear is to be stupid without knowing it. You think you are smart, think everyone else is a fool, and do stupid things.
.
If Magistrate Jiao and Mrs. Jiao, who were sitting on the throne, knew what Jiao Lianping was thinking at this moment, the couple would definitely go to the temple to burn incense sticks. The eldest son finally knew how to reflect on himself. He often did stupid things that he thought were self-righteous.
Mrs. Chen was worried, and Chunchan, who was waiting behind her, was even more worried. If something happened, Ms. Chen was, after all, Jiao Fu's young wife and the young master's mother, and the family scandal should not be made public.
But she was just a slave, and maybe the blame would be put on herself. This made Chunchan think of countermeasures quickly while being scared.
She looked at Zhan Feiyu, who was sitting on the chair opposite, wearing a smokey butterfly dress and a silver-dotted emerald agate butterfly hairpin in her hair. Under the candlelight, the red agate beads in her hair shone brightly. You didn't need to look at it to know that they were worth a lot.
.
Not to mention the jade pendant hanging around Zhan Feiyu's waist, which is also a rare Lantian jade.
Chunchan once saw a piece of blue field jade from Jiao Lianyu. Because of this piece of blue field jade, Jiao Lianping even had a quarrel with magistrate Jiao. If it wasn't for partiality, why would he give this blue field jade to Jiao Lianyu?
Why did a humble girl from the countryside become a guest in the magistrate's mansion, and why did she wear gold and silver! Chunchan couldn't hide the jealousy in her eyes, and couldn't help but whisper to Mrs. Chen: "Miss Zhan saved the second young master again.
I'm afraid there's no money left in the house."
Chunchan's voice was so low that except for a few practitioners in the room, not even Jiao Lianping who was sitting nearby heard it.
He Nuan was already standing by Zhan Feiyu's side, watching every move of Master Chen and Chunchan's master and servant across from him.
Especially Chun Chan's envious and jealous look just now, as well as these seemingly instigating words. He Nuann was about to reply to Zhan Feiyu in a low voice, but saw that Mrs. Chen could no longer hold back and spoke first.
"Mother, Miss Zhan rescued her second brother twice in succession. She cannot repay her life-saving grace. The family probably doesn't have much money left. There is still some dowry from my daughter-in-law. Mother can use it first." Mrs. Chen said softly,
The voice was kept low, but it could still be heard by everyone in the room.
At first glance, I thought Mrs. Chen was a good daughter-in-law, but when she said this in public, she was clearly accusing Zhan Feiyu of amassing money. The first time he treated Jiao Lianping, the prefect Jiao promised 50,000 taels of silver. Although he was sent to the army,
For the Jiao Mansion, it was a real loss of 50,000 taels of silver. This was an attempt to empty out the old foundation of the Jiao Mansion.
Not long ago, He Nuan rescued Jiao Lianyu again. Compared with the previous reward, not to mention 50,000 taels, even half of the silver, the whole Jiao family really had to tighten their belts, and it is estimated that the dowries of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were included in it.
There is no way to fill this hole.
Instantly becoming a "giant greed", Zhan Feiyu put the teacup he had just picked up back down, otherwise he would have spit out the sip of tea.
Zhan Feiyu squinted his eyes and smiled, and said leisurely: "Three years to clear the magistrate's office, one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver. Mr. Jiao has been working hard for me these three years."
Magistrate Jiao, who didn't know how to answer the question for a moment, was speechless, but he couldn't blame Zhan Feiyu for being "unobtrusive". After all, she was here to save people, but she was said to be greedy for money. No matter how good-tempered she was, she couldn't
Will get angry.
Mrs. Jiao and Jiao Lianping both turned around and looked at Mr. Chen. Why didn't they realize that Mrs. Chen was talking so much tonight? She usually didn't pretend to be virtuous and virtuous and put her husband first, but now she was being rude again and again.
Aunt Huang's heart skipped a beat, and she glanced at Zhan Feiyu with suspicion. Without any vengeance, she said that Zhan Feiyu ordered someone to assassinate Jiao Lianyu. Aunt Huang didn't believe it. After all, this was the prefect's residence, and Lianyu was
The son that the master values will be the one who will support the family in the future.
But as soon as Chen said these words, Aunt Huang suddenly felt that Zhan Feiyu was suspicious. Although she studied under Bachelor Gu, she was only a little girl after all. She was born in a rural area, and her childhood life must have been poor.
Especially for rural families, the girl's movies are just money-losing goods. If she hadn't been able to exchange for a betrothal gift in the future, she would have been drowned as soon as she was born. This is only one hundred thousand taels of silver. I am used to seeing good things, and the food and clothing expenses are comparable to those of officials.
The lady of the family is also moved, how can she, a little girl, not be moved?
Zhan Feiyu looked at Aunt Huang and guessed the stern gaze. Now she finally believed that Magistrate Jiao was a little blind. She not only regarded Jiao Lianyu as a good and filial son, but also Aunt Huang in Magistrate Jiao's eyes.
She is also a gentle and kind-hearted interpreter.
