Northern Song Dynasty gangster: Start the game with a dog's head, and Mr. Bao spares his life

"It's the same with Master."

Du Shiniang also stroked Cao Bin's brow and nodded seriously.

Sai Xishi said:

"I believe that my husband will not do bad things."

But Zhang Zhenniang said:

"As long as Lord Hou says everything is correct, even if Lord Hou says the moon is square, I will believe it."

Everyone was speechless when they heard the words, and the tragic feelings just now disappeared without a trace.

But Cao Bin didn't care and said:

"Don't worry, my husband is not a random person."

The girls rolled their eyes, thinking that the more he said that, the more unreliable he would be.

At this moment, the servant girl suddenly came in and reported:

"Master Hou, Master Zhu, the transfer envoy, sent someone to invite him, saying that he has important matters to discuss."

Cao Bin was a little disgusted and said:

"This bastard has something to do every day. It's really annoying when there's no clean time."

However, he had no reason to shirk, and went straight to the government office with the sedan chair.

At this time, most of the officials of the Hangzhou government were there, and there was also a young county magistrate among them, who may have come to report on official duties, just in time.

After greeting each other, Cao Bin directly sat down in the hall, side by side with Zhu Mian.

Zhu Fang did not delay, and directly glanced at the officials in the hall, and said coldly:

"Since everyone is here, I will speak directly."

"Officer Li, do you know that someone in Yuyao County has filed an imperial lawsuit? Why did you delay?"

"If I hadn't been asked by the interrogator before I left Beijing, why would you just pretend to be deaf and dumb like this?"

Hearing this, the expressions on everyone's faces suddenly brightened, and they all looked at Bao Zheng.

Everyone immediately understood who Zhu Fang was targeting today.

Bao Zheng was a little speechless, Cao Bin arranged for him a task of investigating the old politics, which has not been completed yet.

He hasn't had time to investigate Bao Mian's case in detail, and it won't be clear in a while.

Seeing this, Li Tuiguan, who was in charge of the prison, had no choice but to bite the bullet and say:

"Lord Zhu, please forgive me. Since he took office, the magistrate of Bao Mian County has been clean, diligent, and high-spirited."

"The case of the extermination of the Qian family lacks evidence, so it is not appropriate to make a big fanfare and ruin the reputation of Baozhi county officials."

Hearing this, Zhu Mian sneered and said:

"I don't think there is no evidence, but some people are supporting him!"

"As far as I know, Bao Mian has been extravagant since he took office."

"Every time he waits for students with loyalty and Jing, Mr. Bao regards himself as his nephew. He is a tyrant in the officialdom, and no one dares to provoke him."

"Integrity and diligence, high integrity? Thank you for being able to speak."

Hangzhou Zhizhou and others took a look at Cao Bin, but dared not speak.

Bao Zheng's expression has never been so depressed as it is today. Hearing this, he said:

"Since it is Bao's nephew who is suspected, Bao is also involved, but it has nothing to do with Cao Juncai."

"Bao Mou is willing to step down temporarily to avoid taboo. If Bao Mian is really guilty, I will write to the court to plead guilty."

"I just hope Master Zhu handles this case fairly."

Although he asked himself to be fair and selfless, but people are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless?

Especially my own nephew, it is inevitable to worry day and night during the investigation, lest Bao Mian really violated the national law.

Now that he has temporarily resigned, he is relieved.

However, he also knew that Zhu Mian was not a gentleman, and he was making a fuss about Bao Mian's affairs, so he gave him a final nod.

Said he would monitor the case.

Although he will not pervert the law for personal gain, he will not watch his nephew be wronged either.

Seeing that Bao Zheng resigned by himself, Zhu Mian's eyes suddenly showed a gleam of joy, and he turned to look at Cao Bin and said:

"Zhong Jinghou, Bao Mian is your student, what do you think?"

If Cao Bin also avoids suspicion and resigns, then these two Zhejiang will be his own world, so easy...

Cao Bin seemed to have just reacted, put down the tea bowl, and asked doubtfully:

"What does Master Zhu mean? What is the relationship between Bao Mian and this marquis? He said he was a student of this marquis? What about the evidence?"

"That kid still owes me 2000 taels of silver, and now he dares to borrow my name? You can check it out, don't worry about me!"

"Forehead......"

Zhu Mian was stunned for a moment, Damn, are you so shameless?

Although there is no official title, Bao Mian's three festivals and five lives are not less than your gift, and people before and after are also respected in every way, and if something happens, you will be clean and tidy.

Cao Bin then laughed and said:

"Since Mr. Zhu has said so badly about Bao Mian, why don't I go to Yuyao County to have a look?"

He still has confidence in Bao Mian.

When he was in Xiangyang, he left Bao Mian to "exercise" all the big and small affairs of the state, and he never made a mistake.

How could he not even manage a county well?Still involved in a case like murder?

That is a student who has spent "a lot" of hard work to cultivate, and has instilled a lot of ideas for future generations.

Moreover, the key witness in the Miemen case is in his own hands. Although he has not been allowed to speak, as long as he is not allowed to appear, Bao Mian will not be convicted.

Even if he can be convicted, Bao Mian is the one who is unlucky and has nothing to do with him.

It is serious to let Zhu Fang suffer, it depends on Bao Mian's strength......

"it is good!"

Hearing that Cao Bin said he was going to Yuyao, Zhu Mian immediately agreed.

"Since we're going, let's go in a micro-service and see what the 'talent' taught by Zhong Jinghou can do."

He has been in Hangzhou for a few days, and he has learned about many local officials.

Although he himself is not a good official, he still has the ability to distinguish officialdom.

That Bao Mian's words and deeds don't look like an upright official.

And now people everywhere are being forced to suffer from taxes, even if he is really capable, he may not be able to handle it well.

So, no matter what, I can take the opportunity to add guilt to Bao Mian, and maybe catch him off guard and make him admit to the Qian family extermination case in public.

As long as this crime is confessed, Bao Zheng, as a direct elder, will not be able to escape the crime of lax discipline.

It's a pity that this guy Cao Bin is too naughty, otherwise he would definitely be let down.

But in the memorial, you can still give him some eye drops, after all, that Bao Mian borrowed his name.

Cao Bin also ignored the small tricks in Zhu Fang's language, got up and stretched his waist and said:

"Since that's the case, remember to greet me tomorrow. I'm tired, so I'll take my leave first."

With that said, I'm about to go out.

Zhu Fang stopped him and said:

"Zhong Jing waits a minute, I'm busy with official duties, so I don't have much time to delay."

"Since we want to settle this case as soon as possible, why not start today!"

He has already made up his mind, this time he will kill Bao Mian unexpectedly.

If it was Bao Zheng, he wouldn't be too vigilant, but Cao Bin is unruly, so he might notify Bao Mian in advance.

Therefore, he cannot be given a buffer time.

Cao Bin glanced at him, a little speechless, is he so unbelievable?

Moreover, Hangzhou is only more than 200 miles away from Yuyao, and it takes two days to get there by water. Even if Bao Mian is notified, he can prepare a fart.

It seems that Master Zhu is sure that Bao Mian will be in trouble.

"Don't worry Zhong Jinghou, I have all the cooks, maids and ships ready-made, and you will be satisfied!"

In order to make things happen, Zhu Fang has exhausted his mind.

Without waiting for Cao Bin's response, Zhu Mian had ordered his subordinates to prepare.

So in less than a stick of incense, Cao Bin, Bao Zheng and others had already boarded the boat going south.

The North-South Grand Canal runs from Hangzhou to Kuaiji and then to the mouth of Mingzhou, and the waterway is very convenient.

Yuyao County is along the canal.

Since they set off a bit late on the first day, everyone rested on the boat for a night, and arrived at Kuaiji in the morning of the next day, and arrived at Yu County at nightfall.

The young officials following the crowd quickly said:

"My lords, it's getting late, how about resting in my Yu County for the night first."

He and Bao Mian are from the same township, and the places where they work are also adjacent to each other. Yuyao is just across Yu County.

Because he had consulted Bao Zheng on articles before he became an official, and had also received his relief and praise, so the first time he went to Hangzhou was to visit Bao Zheng, unexpectedly, he happened to catch up with such a big drama.

Now that so many Shangguan pass by his rule, if they don't make a show, they will let down this opportunity, so they are very eager.

When everyone got off the boat, they saw that although there were not many pedestrians in the county town because of the night, there were also vendors hawking along the street.

Seeing him passing by with a group of people, many people bowed their hands and saluted, which was very harmonious.

Zhu Mian could not help but praise:

"You manage the county well, but you are a talent!"

"Work hard. If you can pass the examination and enter the second-class upper middle class, I will personally promote you."

Bao Zheng's face, which had been stern all day, also relaxed a little, and he couldn't help but stroked his beard and agreed:

"Nowadays, people's lives in Zhejiang and Zhejiang are difficult. It's rare that you don't have any people who can't survive. It shows that you have a good governance."

The county magistrate of Yu County was delighted to see the praise of the two big men, and hurriedly said humbly:

"The two adults praised it. There are still some refugees in our county. Now they have to find a corner to rest."

"However, the lower officials have already negotiated with the gentry in the county to donate part of the food relief, which should allow them to get through this difficult period."

Seeing that he did not shy away from his shortcomings and confessed frankly, Bao Zheng was even more pleased:

"You did a good job. If you have any difficulties, you can ask the government for help. Don't let the people starve to death."

The magistrate of Yu County nodded quickly and said:

"Thank you two adults for your suggestions."

After finishing speaking, he said reservedly:

"This is why the officials have always kept in mind Master Bao's teachings, so that they will not be unable to do anything."

Zhu Mian laughed and said:

"If Mr. Bao is as strict with his nephew as his disciples, I'm afraid it won't cause trouble."

The magistrate of Yu County hurriedly said:

"My lord Zhu is over-rewarded. Brother Bao's virtue is no less than that of a subordinate official. I believe he was also wronged."

Hearing Zhu Fang's Nabao Mian compared with him, although he didn't show it on the surface, he couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority and joy in his heart.

Strictly speaking, he is not actually Bao Zheng's disciple, and he is unavoidably jealous of Bao Mian, the second generation of high-ranking officials.
