I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 556 Cause of Death
Although Jiao Lianping was a conceited dandy, but as a son of an official, this was the first time he saw someone die so tragically in front of him, "The disaster is not as good as the female relatives, why did she come here?"

Zhan Feiyu looked at the pool of blood by the well, and glanced calmly at the nursing home who also crawled out of the well, all wet, and said to Jiao Lianping, who had a sad face, "Maybe I'm worried that the Qiu family will treat Sanfang in the future. I don't care about it, so I thought about setting up the master-student status first."

Mrs. Qiu had previously agreed to the terms of Mrs. Dou and Mrs. Xu, but it did not include letting her son take on apprentices, but only provided the boys in the third room with the opportunity to study.

However, it is completely different to go to school by studying and to be an official through the imperial examination. Otherwise, how could there be such a saying as a poor scholar.

Furthermore, Dou and Xu also knew in their hearts that even if their children became officials in the future, because of the crimes of the third house, they would still be low-ranking officials. It is estimated that the Qipin county magistrate is delusional.

But it would be different if Mo Geer became Qiu Wangshu's disciple. He would not look at the face of the monk but at the face of the Buddha. With Qiu Wangshu's protection on the three-acre land of Qianzhong Road, his future is just around the corner.

Suddenly thought of something, Jiao Lianping suddenly turned his head and stared at Zhan Feiyu with burning eyes. Isn't this a ready-made example? I want to go the same way.

Zhan Feiyu didn't care about Jiao Lianping's suddenly enlightened expression, and suddenly ordered to He Nuan, "Ah Nuan, arrest this nurse."

Uh……

Everyone present was stunned, even Mrs. Xu, who had fallen to the ground, forgot to wipe away her tears. Everyone saw that He Nuan made a sudden move, and the rescuer was tied up by He Nuan with a hemp rope on the ground before he could react. up.

"This is?" Master Xiang was at a loss, but it was the nursing home of the Xiang family who was tied up, which made Master Xiang uneasy. Could it be that Dou's death was related to this nursing home?
At this time, Qiu Huaixin finally calmed down from the incident, and looked at Dou's body with frowning, before asking Zhan Feiyu, "Is there something different about this nursing home?"

Although Dou fell into the well by accident, the real cause of death was the knife in the neck. The sharp scissors cut through the meridian in the neck, resulting in excessive blood loss and death.

"I don't know." Zhan Feiyu said.

Jiao Lianyu and Qi Changlin also came to their senses, and they both looked at the bewildered nursing home at the same time, either this person was so calm after undergoing special training, or he was innocent, so there was no panic or uneasiness.

He Nuan walked back to Zhan Feiyu and said in a low voice, "Just an ordinary practitioner."

If it was a master, it might be a dead soldier sent by someone, but He Nuan took the opportunity to feel the pulse when he just kidnapped the person. This person has no true energy in his body, does not know internal martial arts, and is just a rough man who can punch and kick.

It's normal to think about it, Mr. Xiang is just a merchant after all, and the nursing homes that spend money to invite back are almost of this level.

"He was still alive when he fell into the well, but he was already a corpse when he was pulled up. If it wasn't for an accident, this nursing home would be the murderer." When Zhan Feiyu said this, Qiu Huaixin and the others nodded in agreement.

There are two situations in this matter, one is accidental suicide, Dou probably panicked when he fell into the well, and forgot to hold the scissors in his hand, and accidentally wiped himself on the neck.

One is homicide. The nursing home who jumped into the well to save people at the first time was the most disgusting. After he jumped down, he took the opportunity to kill Mrs. Dou.

"Report to the official." Qiu Huaixin said, if he knew that there would be a fatality, he just pretended to agree, but it's too late to regret it now.

Seeing that Zhan Feiyu didn't speak, the others naturally wouldn't open their mouths. If there is a homicide case, they will eventually report to the police.

After all, she is the female family member of the third room of the Qiu family, so it is not good to throw her body on the ground like this. After getting the permission of Qiu Huaixin, Mr. Xiang had someone lift the door panel and put Dou's body on it, and then carried it to an unused empty house Here, wait for the yamen's assistants and arresters to come over quickly.

Afterwards, they sent people to the third room of the Qiu family to deliver a message, no matter whether it was suicide or homicide, the third room had to decorate the mourning hall, the juniors in the family had to change into mourning clothes, and Qiu Jingyuan also came over.

As for the nursing home being tied up, he is calm, probably because he has no ghosts in his heart, so he is open-minded, and he is not afraid to go to the Yamen to meet the official.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Zhifu Jiao rushed to Xiang's house with a group of officials from the government office.

Originally, the turmoil of resignation had come to an end with Xiang Changshou's death, but another homicide case occurred, and the key involved was Master Qiu's youngest son.

"I almost didn't shake my old bones." Zhang Tongzhi had a bitter expression on his face. Because of the sudden incident, all of them came here on horseback. They usually travel in sedan chairs. It's like riding a horse...

Lord Teng and Lord Wei also got off their horses and looked at Zhifu Jiao who was striding inside with a sullen face. They looked at each other and chased after him without complaining like Zhang Tongzhi.

"Okay, wait for me!" Zhang Tongzhi looked at a group of colleagues speechlessly, and could only endure the discomfort and followed.

At this time, Master Xiang didn't dare to exchange pleasantries anymore, and while walking quickly with Zhifu Jiao and the others inside, he explained the whole story in detail.

"Lord Wei, you take people to the scene of the crime first." Zhifu Jiao ordered with a sullen face, and then said to Master Teng: "Master Teng and Huang Wuzuo go to examine the body first, and Boss Wang, you take people to seal off Xiang's house. There is no official." No one is allowed to go out and not to talk casually."

Several adults, together with the policemen who came with them, immediately took orders to go, while Zhifu Jiao and Zhang Tongzhi continued to walk to the front yard with the clerks. Although Master Xiang had already said it, Zhifu Jiao still wanted to listen to Qiu Huaixin. confession.

After all, someone was killed, and no one was in the mood to exchange greetings. After Zhifu Jiao entered the house, Zhan Feiyu and Qiu Huaixin greeted each other and started to get down to business.

After everyone asked the question, including the few servants who were present at the time, Zhifu Jiao's dignified expression eased down.

The matter of retiring is related to the Jiao family, and the third son Qiu came to the Xiang family to express his condolences to accompany Lianyu. If something really happened, the prefect Jiao was worried that the Qiu family would take their anger on Jiao Lianyu, and he would be punished by a political envoy. My lord has vented his anger, and Jiao Lianyu's future is definitely in jeopardy.

……

When Zhan Feiyu went to the government office from Xiang's house and came out again, it was already half an hour after this ordeal.

When the incident happened, Zhan Feiyu and He Nuan were worshiping in the mourning hall, so Dou's death had nothing to do with her, so Zhan Feiyu came out first, and Qiu Huaixin and the others were still recording statements in the government office.

"Eldest son?" Zhan Feiyu looked at Qiu Bingde who came down from the carriage in surprise.

He Sheng said something in a low voice, and Zhan Feiyu knew that Qiu Bingde had arrived two quarters of an hour ago, but he was in the carriage and did not enter the government office.

Walking over, Qiu Bingde smiled gently, "It's the end of the day, why don't I do my best as a landlord."

"How dare you refuse the eldest son's invitation." Zhan Feiyu responded with a smile, "I heard that the rice flower fish in Qianzhong Road is delicious. Today, the eldest son will spend a lot of money."

It is still a first-class building, and Zhan Feiyu knew that it was Qiu Bingde who had prepared it in advance as soon as he entered the private room. Two lotus flowers.

Not to mention the tea on the table, the little maid who served her retreated to stand in the corner after making the tea. The tea had a faint fragrance, and it should be scented tea that only female relatives drink.

"Miss Zhan, please." Qiu Bingde greeted Zhan Feiyu to sit down, and said helplessly: "In the early years, my father wanted to stop Huaixin from communicating with Jiao Lianyu, but I stopped him, but now I have brought disaster on Huaixin."

Although Qiu Huaixin did not intend to become an official through the imperial examination, but as the son of the Qiu family, Qiu Huaixin would sooner or later support the family. Now it does not matter if the Qiu family is headed by Mr. Qiu. In the future, Qiu Bingde will also take care of his younger brother when he succeeds as the head of the family.

But until the next generation, when the nephew is in charge of the family, there will be a generation gap between him and the uncle Qiu Huaixin.

Qiu Bingde's original intention was to let Jiao Lianyu be Qiu Huaixin's sharpening stone, to let him know that people's hearts are sinister, and then use the Qiu family's relationship to give Qiu Huaixin an official, even if it is an idle position in the Qingshui Yamen.

But now that Mrs. Dou died, she was also related to Qiu Huaixin. This is a stain. Even if Mrs. Dou died accidentally, Qiu Huaixin's official career would be ruined.
