I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 569
"Wait a minute, my lord is dealing with official business." Outside the warehouse, the boy in gray clothes had a smile on his face, but his eyes looked arrogant, obviously not paying attention to the people in front of him.

Mr. Teng had contacted Mr. Tao before, and the Beijing officials had a high airs and looked down on the magistrates. This one didn't even give Mr. Qiu face, let alone the officials of their Qianzhong government office.

Xu Shi and Qiu Jingyuan naturally didn't dare to raise their beaks, they stood quietly at the back and waited.

Qiu Huaixin frowned slightly. Although he was white, because of Mr. Qiu, Qiu Huaixin had never been treated so coldly in Qianzhong Road. In addition, he knew that Mr. Tao had some conflicts with his father before. It's a bit ugly.

"Wait." Zhan Feiyu said, and sat down under the corridor.

The servant snorted, took another look at a few people, and retreated to the verandah to watch. As for when Master Tao will be busy, he doesn't know as a servant.

A quarter of an hour passed quickly amidst the sound of wind and rain,
Mrs. Xu looked at the boy guarding the door with some hesitation, and wanted to stuff some money for him to go in and pass it on again, but she couldn't keep doing it like this.

But here it was not her turn to speak, as a woman, and Qiu Huaixin was still waiting, and it was even more difficult for Xu to speak.

"It is said that the King of Hades loves to deal with little ghosts, and I have learned a lot today!" Qiu Huaixin's voice was not loud, but it was enough for the servant at the door to hear.

The boy looked at Qiu Huaixin angrily with a sullen face, but thinking of his identity, the anger was suppressed again, but his expression became even uglier.

Zhan Feiyu raised his eyebrows, and smiled at Qiu Huaixin, who had a cold face, "Fuck him!"

Master Teng took a breath, and now he coughed in embarrassment. He probably didn't expect Zhan Feiyu to look cute and cute, but to speak so arrogantly. This is more like a dandy than a dandy.

Qiu Huaixin was also taken aback for a moment. In the past two days, not only Mr. Qiu, but also Mrs. Qiu kept telling him to pay more attention when walking outside in the future.

This time, the boy was even more furious, but seeing Zhan Feiyu's half-smile, and thinking that her teacher was Gu Xueshi, the boy's face turned red, but he didn't dare Speak ill of Zhan Feiyu.

This is still Qianzhong Road, what was he worrying about, Qiu Huaixin laughed loudly, and strode towards the door, which made the boy standing in front of the door startled and immediately became uneasy.

Looking down at the boy who was tense and pale, Qiu Huaixin snorted arrogantly, "Did you not go in to report back or Master Tao deliberately made things difficult for us?"

No matter how stupid the boy was, he knew he couldn't bring Master Tao into trouble, so he hurriedly said, "My lord may have finished his work, so I'll go in and report back."

Before half a cup of tea was available, the door opened again. This time, the servant did not dare to pretend to be a tiger, and led several people into the warehouse.

Master Tao put down the official document in his hand when he heard the footsteps, but he still sat behind the desk and never got up.

"I pay my respects to my lord." Lord Teng saluted first, then straightened up, Lord Xiang Tao continued: "My lord, this little girl is the daughter of the Dou family, and the Xu family is her eldest aunt..."

Master Teng introduced the identities of several people. As for He Sheng and Shi Song, they were still guarding outside the door at the moment, and the two maids and a woman who followed Xu were also staying outside. In the least noticeable corner.

"Since it's Dou's dowry, everyone who has nothing to do with it will go down." Master Tao said coldly, looking at Qiu Huaixin and Zhan Feiyu with displeasure. They are neither court officials nor Dou's blood relatives. You really don't have the right to stay here.

Qiu Huaixin was already arrogant, so he sneered even more, "My lord, the third room is all female relatives, my father was worried, so he asked me to come and take care of one or two. If your lord is dissatisfied, you might as well send someone to the chief envoy to go away." one trip."

"Young Master Qiu, are you using Mr. Qiu to suppress this official?" A sullen voice sounded, Mr. Tao dared to shut Qiu Huaixin's door, but Mr. Tao didn't have the guts to really tear him apart from Mr. Qiu.

The three-acre land in Qianzhong Road belongs to the Qiu family, if they offend the Qiu family, they might die and leave the land.

Qiu Huaixin snorted haughtily, this is a scumbag, he treats each other with courtesy, and he even shows him off, if he doesn't become tough, Master Tao will be discouraged.

Zhan Feiyu, who was standing by the side, couldn't help squinting and smiling when he saw Master Tao's gaze on him, "Return to Master, the student agreed to Mrs. Xu, and since the Master thinks it's inappropriate, the student will leave now."

The words were straightforward, Zhan Feiyu turned around and was about to leave quickly, and He Nuan who was standing in the corner immediately followed, and the master and servant really wanted to leave without saying a word.

Not to mention Master Tao who was sitting behind the case was dumbfounded, Qiu Huaixin and Mrs. Xu were also stunned. When Zhan Feiyu was outside just now, he threw the word "fuck him" at Qiu Huaixin very forcefully. She herself was discouraged, so she just left.

Master Teng didn't speak, but just glanced at Master Tao sympathetically. This air is big, knowing that he is Gu Xueshi's young disciple, Lord Qiu treats each other with courtesy, but this one still puts on the air of the servant of the household department, thinking You have to pick one or two.

Zhan Feiyu's move was much smarter than that of the third son of Qiu. The third son of Qiu used Mr. Qiu to suppress people. If it spread, it would not only affect his own reputation, but even Mr. Qiu.

But Zhan Feiyu's retreat set Mr. Tao on fire. If you said it was against the rules, this little girl left immediately, without any sign of bullying.

Seeing that Zhan Feiyu was about to go out with his short legs, Master Tao almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, so he could only say: "Miss Zhan, please stay, the girl is here with Miss Qiu, it's okay to stay .”

Zhan Feiyu put down his little feet again, turned to Master Tao and asked with a smile, "Is it really in compliance with the rules? After all, this is an important place in the government office. If it gets out, outsiders will think that I am relying on the teacher's name. Playing around!"

"Miss Zhan is worrying too much." Master Tao squeezed out the words through his teeth, but his eyes were gloomy and frightening, and he was a tricky little girl.

After suffering a lot, Master Tao didn't bother anymore. He first asked the clerk to verify Qiu Jingyuan's household registration, and asked her to sign and press her fingerprints. Then someone got the key to the warehouse, and a group of people went straight to the warehouse behind. go.

Walking through the corridor is a row of houses. The doors and windows are specially made to prevent fire and theft. Unless they have a key, ordinary thieves will never be able to pry the lock of the warehouse.

"My lord, the third house of Di Zi has arrived." The yamen servant who led the way stopped. This warehouse is not big, and it is usually vacant. This time it happened to be used to seal up the property seized by the third house of the Qiu family.

However, most of Sanfang's family property has been sealed, and was escorted to the capital along with the male member of the Qiu family. Now the house is filled with the dowry of the female relatives and some private property.

In addition to Dou's dowry, some of Xu's sister-in-law's private properties were also sealed inside. Only when the imperial court's judgment came down, and the ownership of the sealed things was determined, could they be returned to Xu and the others according to the law. Otherwise, it can only be kept in the warehouse forever.

With a creak, the door of the warehouse was opened, and several yamen servants followed the clerk who was holding the list. After a while, five camphorwood boxes with seals were carried out.

"My lord, these are the five boxes." The scribe stepped aside after reporting back.

Master Tao nodded and looked at Qiu Jingyuan, "These are the five boxes that were brought out of your home that day. You take out the list and check them one by one. You can take them back after you are sure they are correct."

Qiu Jingyuan, who had been silent all this time, bowed to Master Tao at this time, "Thank you for your understanding."

Xu didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly took out the dowry list and handed it to Qiu Huaixin. After all, she didn't feel relieved to let the people from the yamen verify it, "I'm sorry."

This is what I came here to do today. Qiu Huaixin took it and quickly browsed through it. The dowry list was recorded in great detail, including the color and size of the gemstones inlaid on the head.

It's just that the latter list is a bit rough, and only the names of some items are recorded, and more are missing. In this way, if someone shoves a second-best item as a good one, or replaces the real one with a fake one, Qiu Huaixin can't judge.
