I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 526 Night Detective
After tossing and tossing during the day, the Jiao Mansion was quiet after nightfall. Except for the guard who was patrolling at night, everyone in the mansion, from the master to the servants, was sleeping soundly.

A figure silently climbed over the wall and entered the garden of Jiao Mansion. The moonlight happened to shine on him, but he was actually wearing the gray clothes of a villain in the mansion, and with ordinary facial features, even the guards could only see him when they saw it. I thought it was a boy who got up at night to go conveniently.

In the dark, He Sheng gestured and followed, and this direction was Zhujunxuan where Jiao Lianyu lived.

On the other side, Caiweixuan was still brightly lit with candles. Zhan Feiyu put down his pen and stretched his arms that were sore from sitting at his desk for too long.

"Miss." He Nuan walked in from the door, stepped forward in three or two steps, and massaged Zhan Feiyu skillfully with both hands, "Someone sneaked in just now, and the eldest brother has followed, and it was Mr. Zhu who went there." Xuan."

"Bamboo-colored gentleman, Yiyi Han is greener. I just don't know if Jiao Lianyu can bear the word "gentleman." Zhan Feiyu looked at the wet ink on the paper, rolled his eyes, and turned to look at He Nuan behind him , "Why don't we go over and join in the fun?"

Not to mention that it was in the middle of the night, but that the other party was probably here to blackmail Jiao Lianyu. Once Miss is found, the idea of ​​fishing for big fish with a long line will definitely come to naught.

Zhan Feiyu stood up, "Let's go, let's take a look in the dark."

Fearing that He Nuan would not agree, Zhan Feiyu said solemnly: "It's hot in the daytime, but the cool breeze is blowing in the middle of the night, Ah Nuan, maybe I'll come to Shixing right after I leave, you also know that the teacher's requirements are getting stricter and stricter, In the past, I only asked my poems to be smooth, and the rhymes were correct, but now I ask for the artistic conception.”

In order to increase the credibility, Zhan Feiyu walked into the yard with his hands behind his back, looked up at the moon covered by clouds, and chanted solemnly.

"The heat at night is still the same as the heat at noon. Open the door and stand in the middle of the moon. In the place where the bamboo is deep and the trees are dense and insects are buzzing, there is sometimes a slight coolness." Zhan Feiyu turned his head and grinned at He Nuan, "The ancients could write at night. Come on, Ah Nuan, wait for me to go on a night tour, maybe I can write a wonderful sentence that shocks the world and weeps ghosts and gods!"

As for her young lady's talent for writing poems, He Nuan smiled awkwardly with the corners of her lips pulled, she knew that she was a qualified personal servant girl.

Zhan Feiyu really wanted to join in the fun, but she also had a sense of propriety. She didn't want to go to Jiao Lianyu's Zhujunxuan, but only planned to take a walk in the Baicao Garden connecting the front yard and the back house.

Mrs. Jiao likes flowers and plants. Half of the flowers in the herb garden are planted by Mrs. Jiao herself. Even at night, there are five or six kinds of flowers blooming in full bloom.

"Is this moxa stick?" As soon as he walked into the Baicao Garden, he could smell the faint smell of wormwood. Zhan Feiyu looked sideways and found several copper smokers in the corner, with moxa the size of a baby's arm stuck in it. strip.

He Nuan took a look and replied, "Mosquito repellent... Miss, someone is here!"

Zhan Feiyu and He Nuan dodged together. The two of them had already avoided behind the rockery, and there were towering trees behind them, and a shadow fell. Unless someone came around to check specially, Zhan Feiyu hiding in the darkness would never be found. and He Nuan.

Through the gap between the Taihu stones, Zhan Feiyu looked at the two figures approaching, and couldn't help but wink at He Nuan. Although he couldn't remember the faces, the maid in the blue skirt should be the one next to Mrs. Chen.

He Nuan nodded, Chen had called her name before, she should be called Chunchan, she looked unsafe, He Nuan had noticed before that Chunchan approached Jiao Lianping intentionally or unintentionally, her eyes were piercing. Chunyi, supporting Jiao Lian usually puffs out her chest on purpose, but it's not convenient for He Nuan to tell Zhan Feiyu these words.

"Don't worry, the patrolling guards are all in front of and behind each courtyard, and no one will come from Baicao Garden." Chunchan said impatiently.

In the afternoon, the mother-in-law Niu gave an order that no one was allowed to go out after nightfall. Once those who violated the order were caught by the nursing home, they would be kicked out of Jiao Mansion after twenty boards.

The young man in hard attire still took a wary look around, and after making sure there was nothing wrong, he said, "What do you want, miss?"

Upon hearing the title Miss, Chunchan snorted, and patted the young man's chest disdainfully, "Zhao Yuan, you are only good enough, if you have the ability, you can take the young lady away, what's the point of secretly liking the young lady?" Use? Every time the eldest son returns to his room, you will guard the yard like a fool, and you will be satisfied just listening to those voices?"

"Shut up!" shouted angrily in a low voice, Zhao Yuan grabbed Chunchan's neck with one hand, but Xia Ri's clothes were all thin and the neckline was low, so if any bruises were left, the eldest lady would definitely know.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yuan had no choice but to withdraw his hand, but his expression became even more ugly, and he looked at Chunchan who was full of hateful eyes in warning, "What orders does the eldest lady have?"

"Coward!" Once again snorted disdainfully, Chunchan glanced at Zhao Yuan, who had ugly facial features, not to mention his appearance compared with that of the eldest son, even any nurse in the mansion would be more handsome than Zhao Yuan, just his face Rong still dare to think about the young lady, if the young lady finds out, she will definitely drive Zhao Yuan out of the house.

After despising Zhao Yuan from the bottom of her heart, Chunchan didn't want to waste time here, and said bluntly: "Although the nursing home in the Fuzhong was arranged by the master, most people obey the orders of the madam."

Mrs. Jiao is the master of the back house. The magistrate of Jiao didn't know that these nursing homes had long been ordered by Mrs. Jiao, so tonight the best people in the nursing homes were assigned to Jiao Lianping's yard.

The remaining few people are responsible for guarding the main courtyard where the magistrate and Mrs. Jiao are located, and some people are arranged to inspect the various places in the residence, and there are indeed five guardian courtyards in Zhujunxuan where Jiao Lianyu is, but these five can be said to be Those who live with wine and rice bags will not be more dedicated at all.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Chen still felt that she couldn't miss the opportunity tonight. Only after Jiao Lianyu died, the Jiao Mansion could be handed over to Jiao Lianping. Even if Aunt Huang gave birth to a talented son, it would be useless until he could pass the imperial examination. It will take at least 20 years for Jiao Lianping to become the head of the Jiao family.

"Miss wants to kill the second young master?" Zhao Yuan's expression changed slightly, and his breathing became a little heavy. This is the second young master of the Jiao Mansion. Although he is a bastard, he is the heir carefully cultivated by the Jiao Zhifu. Not only Zhao Yuan was doomed to die, but the young wife of Mrs. Chen probably also died of illness or sudden death.

Behind the rockery, Zhan Feiyu's mind came up with the delicate appearance of Chen's Xiaojiabiyu. Who would have thought that this back house woman who cried and cried at every turn, was not only cruel, but also bold, which was really poisonous and stupid.

"You don't dare?" Chunchan squinted at the hesitant Zhao Yuan contemptuously, and said with a sneer, "This is an order personally issued by the young lady. The second son has not yet gained a firm foothold in the mansion. , do you think the eldest son still has a foothold?"

All prosperity, all losses!
If Jiao Lianping is suppressed, Chen's situation will not be good, especially after Jiao Lianyu gets married, there will be some open and secret struggles between the two sisters-in-law, and the Chen family who is not liked by Jiao Lianping can only be suppressed and bullied.

Chunchan yawned and said again: "Don't worry, those guards in Zhu Junxuan are no good. With your skills, you can definitely sneak in. The second son has been in a coma since the afternoon. After you go in, you just need to move your hands and feet a little bit." That's it, even if the master wants to investigate, but the wife is in charge of the backyard, and you will never be found."

Maybe it was because he was really in love with the Chen family, Zhao Yuan finally agreed, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night, and Chunchan also turned around and walked slowly towards the backyard.

Seeing that the two of them had left, Zhan Feiyu couldn't help but be speechless, "Before I embezzled 5 taels of silver from the Jiao Mansion, the Chen family won't repay the favor?"

"She doesn't have the guts." It wasn't that He Nuan looked down on Mrs. Chen and was able to assassinate Jiao Lianyu. It meant that Mrs. Chen was a no-brainer. The lady was so honorable, and Mrs. Chen dared not speak to her if she was too ambitious. Let's start, at most resentment in my heart.

……

Bamboo Junxuan.

He Sheng didn't expect Jiao Lianyu to build a secret room in his bedroom without anyone noticing. A landscape painting happened to be hung on the wall, with heavy ink, and He Sheng in the secret room was looking out through the painting.

Even if the person who sneaked in took a cautious look at the bedroom, the thick ink on the scroll was the best cover-up, and unless he got closer to observe, he really couldn't find that there were a pair of human eyes behind it.
