I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 572 Assassination
Even if Lord Tao disliked Lord Qiu, he still hated Zhan Feiyu, but he had to admit that Zhan Feiyu's suggestion was extremely beneficial to him. If there was a scuffle, this was Qianzhong Prefecture, and it was unknown whether he would survive.

Even if he survived by luck, and traveled a long distance to transport the box to the capital, Master Tao knew that no matter how well-planned the arrangements were, accidents would happen.

Qianzhong Road is thousands of miles away from the capital, whether it is Gu Xueshi, an old fox surnamed Qiu, or even the Forbidden Dragon Guard may attack and kill, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is close to death.

Master Tao was silent, looking at the little girl with red lips and white teeth in front of her. She was charming and bookish. Anyone who saw it would think that she was a daughter of a boudoir raised by a family. These old fritters in officialdom.

"Are you going to muddy the water?" Qiu Huaixin also knew that the token might be among the 120 objects, otherwise he wouldn't let Shi Song protect him personally. In the event of a scuffle, the first thing the Qiu family must ensure is the safety of Qiu Huaixin, and whether the token can be snatched is another matter.

But according to Zhan Feiyu's proposal, the tokens in this big box were sold, and the one with the highest bargaining price would get it. In this way, this melee would not be able to fight. After all, no one is so big when swords and swords meet. With the ability to snatch a whole box of things, at most three or five pieces were snatched.

But whether these three or five items are tokens, no one knows, and it is estimated that several lives will be lost for these three or five items. This is a dead man carefully cultivated by various forces, and the death of one is enough to make people feel heartbroken. .

If you can buy a few things with silver without bloodshed, Qiu Huaixin can be sure that everyone will agree, and as far as Mr. Tao is concerned, not only is he safe, but it is also a great achievement to bring the silver sold back to the court.

"Okay, I'm here!" Master Tao finally said, he cared more about his own safety than the token, and everything he plotted after death was nothing.

……

The conversation between Zhan Feiyu and Master Tao did not deliberately lower his voice, so all the spies hiding in the warehouse heard it clearly, and the news spread out in a short while.

Zhan Feiyu and the others did not leave the government office, and were arranged by Mr. Tao to rest in the spare hall of the back office. After Mr. Tao arranged the sale, the matter was completely over.

"Thank you Miss Zhan for your help." Mrs. Xu is not a person who does not know what is good or bad. Although the 120 items cannot be taken back, at least half of the dowry of Mrs. Dou, the third sister-in-law, has been taken back.

As long as Qiu Jingyuan still lives in the third room, Xu will always find a way to get away some good things in the past few years after she gets married. , I will convert the silver to Jingyuan."

This is the condition that Mrs. Xu promised Zhan Feiyu before. Mrs. Xu, a woman, can't make the decision on those 120 items, but Mrs. Xu claims to be able to agree to these 200 items in Qiu Jingyuan's hands instead of Qiu Jingyuan.

Why!Qiu Jingyuan's face was calm, but her teeth were tightly biting the tender flesh in her cheeks, forcibly suppressing her unwillingness and resentment.

Thinking that not only did she have to bow her head to Zhan Feiyu, a girl born in the countryside, but even her adopted aunt, Xu, could be her own master and handle her mother's dowry beyond herself, Qiu Jingyuan gritted her teeth in hatred, but the situation Stronger than others, but can only bear it.

There was no one else in the room, and Qiu Huaixin was not worried about what would come out, so he asked Zhan Feiyu straightforwardly, "Do you have any clues? If you like something, I can help you buy it when it goes on sale later."

The main reason is that I don't know what the token is, whether it is big or small, round or square, and Qiu Huaixin has nowhere to help even if he wants to help.

Zhan Feiyu has an excellent memory. At this moment, he let go of his thoughts and went through all the objects in his mind. Since it is a keepsake, it must be unique and not expensive, but it must not be easily copied by others.

Besides, Qiu Wenlan is a female family member of the back house. If she brings a token to communicate with people, it is impossible for her to carry an ornament, or an ancient fan, ancient book, etc. The token is more likely to be something worn by a woman and will not attract attention. .

Then pearl hairpins, earrings, jade pendants, and bracelets are also possible. Zhan Feiyu really has no idea what will happen at this time, and said to Qiu Huaixin with a smile: "Since they can sell, it depends on luck."

With 120 things, who can be sure that what he bought is a token, even if it is a token, he may not know that Zhan Feiyu's move has indeed muddied the water even more.

On the other side, Mr. Tao is also busy arranging the sale. The only problem now is that if the token is sold, he will be safe. How can he explain it to the palace?

The prefect of Jiao, who got the news, didn't pay much attention to it, but almost all the arresters and servants of the government office were transferred to stand by. When it was time for the sale at night, no matter what happened, at least the Qianzhong government office could calm down the place.

Qiu Bingde, who also got the news, is currently at the chief envoy. Master Qiu put down the official document in his hand and looked at the eldest son sitting below, "If Huaixin is half as calm as Zhan Feiyu, I don't have to worry about being a father."

"Once the 120 items are sold, even the Forbidden Dragon Guards may not be able to get them back." Qiu Bingde frowned. Zhan Feiyu's move could indeed save him from danger, but he also missed the opportunity to find them. A token opportunity.

But thinking of Zhan Feiyu's age, and thinking of the Qianzhong Prefecture where the war was on the verge of breaking out, Qiu Bingde felt that Zhan Feiyu's strategy to save his life was not wrong.

After all, she is only a half-grown girl. The little girls from other people's homes are either studying housekeeping or learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to cultivate their sentiments in the back house. Unlike Zhan Feiyu, she has already dealt with court officials. The key is that she has not yet fallen behind. downwind.

Lord Qiu picked up the teacup and drank it leisurely, looked at the pensive eldest son but smiled without saying a word.

"Did I say something wrong?" Qiu Bingde sensed something was wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't find out what was wrong.

"The Forbidden Dragon Guard is a knife in the hands of the Holy One. Not to mention the few princes in the palace these years, even Gu Xueshi dare not have anything to do with the Forbidden Dragon Guard. Bingde, why do you think Zhan Feiyu held it?" Do you have the token of the Forbidden Dragon Guard?" After Master Qiu finished speaking, he waited quietly for Qiu Bingde's answer.

Before that, Qiu Bingde had read Zhan Feiyu's information in detail. From when she arrived in Jinlin Village and won the small three yuan in one fell swoop, to her study tour, Qiu Bingde knew and analyzed everything that happened along the way.

So when Lord Qiu asked a question, Qiu Bingde replied, "The Forbidden Dragon Guard is under the orders of the Holy One. This move must be approved by the Holy One. The Holy One is using Zhan Feiyu to lure the ghosts and monsters in the dark, so he sent the Forbidden Dragon Guard to protect her safety."

After all, Zhan Feiyu is just a pawn in the hands of the Holy Master, but she is a girl from a rural background. Although she is a teacher of Gu Xueshi, Master Gu is also a lonely minister, so the Holy One is not only worried about Gu Xueshi, but also Zhan. Feiyu dared to let her get involved with General Yang and have contacts with the Qiu family.

"A little girl who can be a pawn of the Holy Master, has she ever been afraid of anyone?" Mr. Qiu thought of Zhan Feiyu's previous situations, not to mention the fact that Zhan Feiyu led people to break through in Xiangwu County a few years ago. Going to Aozikou to rescue Yang Xu, this is a narrow escape. With such a fearless temperament, Zhan Feiyu would suggest Master Tao to sell him for his own safety?

Qiu Bingde, who was awakened, blurted out: "Ming repairs the plank road and secretly hides Chen Cang!"

"Just watch it, it will be revealed in the evening." Master Qiu smiled, this little girl was so brave that she dared to pierce the sky.

The place for nighttime sales has been decided, Heshengxuan, the largest pawnshop in Qianzhong Prefecture.

Zhan Feiyu got out of the carriage, looked up at the signboard of the pawnshop, "Is this the property of the Liu family?"

Speaking of Liu's family was one of the four great imperial merchants in the Daqing Dynasty, when Liu Hefeng died, he left all his belongings to Zhan Feiyu, so Zhan Feiyu went to Huai'an Mansion for this reason.

"Heshengxuan will hold a sale every six months. The secrecy is extremely high. No one knows who the buyer is, including Heshengxuan." He Sheng answered first. It is normal for Dao to see Liu's shop.

If the time is short and the sale is held in other places, there may be omissions, so Mr. Tao chose Heshengxuan. Besides, the merchants are humble, no matter how powerful the Liu family is, they dare not offend court officials, and Mr. Tao does not have to worry about Heshengxuan playing ghosts. .

All the guests participating in the sale only need to take ten taels of silver to buy a special number plate. As for the number plate they get, they are also drawn by themselves in the box.

At the same time, if the guests are not prepared, they can also take a set of black hooded cloak and mask from He Shengxuan.After changing clothes in the inner room and entering the passage, open the organ of the number plate to see the corresponding room number.

At that time, the cloak will wrap the person tightly, then put on the mask, and finally put on the hat. After entering the room and closing the back door, no one will know who is holding up the number plate and calling for the price.
