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

Even Bao Zheng couldn't believe his eyes.

Zhu Mian said with a gloomy face:

"Come here, check the account! Check it carefully for me!"

Among the officials who followed, there were people in charge of the treasury, who were not lacking in professional ability, and a county treasury couldn't help them.

Soon after, I returned to report:,

"Report to my lord, the materials stored in the treasury are twice the taxable money and food, and the treasury of Yuyao is full, and there is no shortage or hunger!"

"I......."

For a moment, everyone was stunned, it was so awesome!

It is difficult for other people to save money and food, but here you directly double the tax, is there any reason?

How did you do it?

The situation of the Yuyao government treasury was beyond everyone's expectations.

Bao Zheng was also a little confused about his nephew's policy thinking, but hope suddenly rose, and he was a little bit looking forward to it.

After all, he is his nephew, no matter how selfless he is, he still cares about his family in his heart.

The old sister-in-law only had such a son. If she lost her son, she couldn't even imagine how she would survive the rest of her life.

The transfer made Zhu Fang's two eyebrows furrowed together, he didn't know what to say, after a while he said:

"If something goes wrong, there must be something wrong. Say, where did you get the money?"

"Is it because of political achievements that the Qian family was assassinated and the common people were searched?"

Having said that, he seemed to have cleared his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what he said was very reasonable, and he sternly reprimanded:

"There is also the city wall of the county seat. How dare you tear it down privately and let it be abandoned. Who gave you the courage? And who is supporting you!"

Seeing that Bao Mian didn't know what to say, Cao Bin immediately said:

"Bao Mian, don't worry and say it boldly, Master Bao will support you in everything!"

Hearing this, Bao Zheng glanced at him and was a little speechless. He said it nicely, does it have nothing to do with you?

However, he did not deny that even if Bao Mian was guilty, he should be given a chance to argue and explain.

After listening to Cao Bin's comfort, Bao Mian quickly calmed down and said:

"This year's grain harvest is in short supply, the south of the Yangtze River is in turmoil, and the imperial court has added a lot of miscellaneous taxes. The county is very difficult."

Everyone nodded, everyone agreed.

Not only Yuyao, but also other places, otherwise everyone would not be so surprised by the inventory here.

Bao Mian went on to say:

"The lower officials had no choice but to tear down the city walls. Lord Hou once said that if you want to cooperate, you must have a basis for cooperation."

"Nowadays, the only people who have enough money and food in their hands are the gentry and the rich in the county."

"If there is no crisis, why should they give generously?"

The officials present are all quick-witted people. After hearing what he said, they already understood, and their eyes lit up and said:

"You mean, you deliberately opened the city wall and allowed refugees to come in and out at will."

"Let the gentry in the city feel the danger of being robbed at any time, and then have to provide money and food to appease them?"

Bao Mian did not admit this statement, but shook his head and continued:

"Hou Ye said, we must understand resource circulation and make long-term plans."

"If this is the case, it will easily cause the resentment of the gentry, and the refugees will have nothing to do, so it won't last long."

"That's why I let the refugees create luxury gardens for sale in the best places with the best scenery."

"It's the closest to the county government, and there are county soldiers stationed there, so it's extremely safe..."

Hangzhou Zhizhou slapped his thigh and said:

"Wonderful, wonderful, in this way, not only will the refugees have jobs, but the county government will also make a lot of money."

As he spoke, he praised again:

"It's not just that, there is a threat to life behind him, and there is a safe place in front of him."

"Baozhi County only used a section of the city wall, and let those wealthy landowners fall into the schemes without making a sound. It's really high!"

Compared with the magistrate of Yu County begging for alms, Bao Mian's methods are undoubtedly beyond words.

There are still some things that Bao Mian didn't dare to say. Cao Bin once told him, never trust the character of those gentry.

I hope they will show kindness and think about the people of the court. It is better to rob... He is afraid that if he speaks out, he will be sprayed to death.

So he quickly shook his head and said:

"Ding Zhizhou's words are wrong. How could Bao harm the local gentry?"

"The Zhuangzhuangfang City is not only safe and beautiful, but also equipped with the world's best brothels, tiles and restaurants, which are definitely worth the money."

As he spoke, he said solemnly:

"When he was in Xiangyang, Master Cao always taught his subordinates to be sincere and kind."

"How can a subordinate official use tricks to deceive people?"

Everyone looked at him with a serious look, and in a trance, it seemed that another Cao thief had appeared.

The same shamelessness, the same seriousness.

Mad, is that worth your money?You are obviously extracting their surplus value.

It is not enough to sell the house, but also to do business to earn them countless sums.

Bao Mian then warmly introduced:

"Our Yaojiang Manor is not only exquisite and stylish, but also overlooking Yaojiang. It is adjacent to Siming Mountain. It is definitely the best place to escape the summer heat. Would you like to come here?"

When Cao Bin heard this, he immediately laughed and said:

"Yes, I like it very much, keep a set for me."

Bao Mian said happily:

"Thank you for your care, Master Hou. You really have a compassionate heart, and you can't bear the suffering of the people in our county...but the officials can't ask for your money."

"It's still paid by the lower officials, it's considered filial to you."

When everyone heard this, they immediately became interested and said:

"I want a set too..."

With the salary level of Song Dynasty officials, it is more than enough to buy a manor in the county, not to mention that they don't just live on salary.

Bao Zheng didn't care about buying a house, after listening to Bao Mian's explanation, he heaved a sigh of relief and felt really happy in his heart.

Not only did Bao Mian not waste money on food and money, but he was able to arrange the refugees so skillfully and perfectly, which made him deeply comforted.

I can't help but sigh in my heart: Cao Juncai is so talented.

He was aware of Bao Mian's original knowledge and talent, but he never expected that Cao Bin would give him such a pleasant surprise.

It would have been perfect if Bao Mian hadn't been involved in the murder of the Qian family.

At this time, Zhu Mian's face had already darkened, and if he didn't pay attention, the investigation scene became a house sale scene, so he didn't want to lose face.

So he let out a harsh "hum" and angrily said:

"Even if it is to resettle refugees, it is a serious crime to demolish the city wall without authorization. You, a small county magistrate, have no right to do such a thing..."

Cao Bin sneered and said:

"Master Transit Envoy, aren't you being too lenient?"

"With this conciliator here, is it your turn to question?"

The transfer envoy is in charge of money and food, and the appeasement envoy is in charge of military affairs. It is indeed not Zhu Fang's turn to take care of this matter.

Then, he patted Bao Mian on the shoulder and said:

"Don't worry, I'm here to support you, don't be afraid of him, I think you've done a good job!"

When Bao Mian heard this, tears filled his eyes with excitement, feeling that his policy strategy was approved by the teacher Cao Bin.

Bao Zheng was a little speechless. Seeing that Bao Mian committed a crime, this kid immediately pushed it to himself. Now that Bao Mian was fine, he immediately ran out to invite people's hearts,

This is a bit of a dog...

Zhu Fang was choked by Cao Bin for a moment, and he didn't say anything for a long time, so he could only say:

"Okay, since Marquis Zhong Jing took the crime for Bao Mian, I will not pursue it."

"But we are here to investigate the case this time!"

"Marquis Zhong Jing can't turn a blind eye to his murderous people, corruption and perverting the law, can he?"

Hearing this, Bao Mian understood the real purpose of the officials coming here, his face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly said:

"Your Excellency, you are wronged. The lower officials have never done these things."

Leaving aside corruption and perverting the law, he also knew that he had a lot of doubts about the Qian family extermination case.

But after the state asked him once, he released him because there was no real evidence. He thought that the state had found other clues, but he didn't expect it to be on him.

Zhu Mian sneered and said:

"Injustice? Do you dare to accept people's exposure and proof?"

This trick is a bit vicious, as the saying goes, one bite from a thief will penetrate three points to the bone.

In one term in power, where is there an official who does not offend others?

As long as an announcement is made, it is impossible for no one to expose it. As long as it is exposed, it is difficult to explain.

But whether it's his life style or his doubts, he can't refuse Zhu Mian's request...

Yuyao County Government Office.

Zhu Fang held a copper gong in his hand, knocked it with "boom boom" and kept shouting:

"The people listened carefully. Mr. Zhu, the transshipment envoy between the two Zhejiang provinces, is going to make decisions for the people today and investigate and deal with corrupt officials."

"Whether it's exposing Yuyao County's corruption and breaking the law, accepting bribes, or providing clues to the case of the Qian family extermination, you can come forward and expose it!"

"Anyone who finds evidence will be rewarded five times."

At this time, all the officials had already sat down outside the yamen, and Zhu Fang and Cao Bin sat in the main seat, waiting for the people to come.

In a short time, the people of Yuyao surrounded the gate of the yamen with three floors inside and three floors outside.

A neatly dressed old man in front of him glanced at Bao Fangli sitting at the end, stepped forward and saluted:

"My lords, the magistrate of Bao County is upright and clean, and he has no crime at all. Why..."

When Zhu Fang saw him coming forward, he thought he was going to report Bao Mian, but unexpectedly he came to question him, his face darkened immediately and said:

"I act for my own reason, step down!"

Seeing this, the old man could only helplessly shake his head and retreat into the crowd.

Only then did Zhu Mian raise his head and ask:

"Don't be afraid, just speak out boldly, if Bao Mian is guilty, I will deal with it fairly."

The people suddenly fell silent.

Zhu Fang's complexion became more and more bad, and he said:

"Twenty guan, if you can expose Bao Mian, I will reward him with [-] guan!"

At this time, a man with slanted mouth and slanted eyes, hanging his arms and twisting his hips asked:

"Master Zhu, magistrate Bao has a great background, can you guarantee our safety?"

Before Zhu Fang could speak, Cao Bin leaned down, looked at the man, and said with a smile:
