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

"Are you talking about me, Zhong Jinghou? Don't worry, even if you expose it, I promise that I will never cover up 'revenge' for Bao Mian!"

Hearing this, the man shrank his neck in fright, and quickly laughed and said:

"My lord misunderstood, I will ask, ask."

After speaking, he quickly retreated into the crowd, cursing inwardly, almost being cheated.

Zhu Fang turned his head and glanced at Cao Bin, his heart was full of annoyance, how could this be a promise?It is clearly intimidating the people.

Bao Mian glanced at Cao Bin gratefully, and immediately straightened his back.

He often publicizes his background, what is the purpose of pulling the tiger's skin as a banner?It is to reduce doubts and make it easier for government orders to pass.

On this point, he particularly agrees with Cao Bin's approach, and once envied him for having a powerful father-in-law, and was not ashamed of it.

So when he released it as an official, he took it directly and used it.

Facts have proved that this method is very effective. Not only the superior is very tolerant of him, but even the subordinates are in awe.

Almost no other newly appointed officials have insufficient authority and have to be busy with internal power struggles or the difficulties of being targeted by superior officials.

Just when he was proud, Bao Zheng suddenly said with a serious face:

"Since you are an official, you must have the courage to face the people's doubts. Please don't obstruct the people's way of speaking!"

Bao Mian's relaxed look stopped abruptly, and a little resentment appeared in his heart.

Cao Bin was also a little speechless. He felt that this method was unreasonable and too harsh, so he offered protection.

Unexpectedly, Bao Zheng didn't appreciate it.

Perhaps he is not unaware that this method is carping.

If Bao Mian was not his nephew, he might not be so harsh, but he did not allow Bao Mian to use this method to escape responsibility.

Cao Bin gave Bao Mian a self-seeking look, and didn't bother to say anything.

Seeing this, Zhu Fang immediately said:

"If anyone reports evidence, I will reward him with [-] guan."

As the saying goes, people die for wealth, and birds die for food. If there is a big reward, there must be a brave man.

Sure enough, the man who was just in his early years ran out again when he heard the words, his eyes lit up and said:

"I report it!"

The people around immediately scolded:

"Lai San, come back, do you want to frame Master Bao?"

The old man was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, as if he was about to eat that rascal.

When the surrounding guards heard the words, they immediately drew their knives and threatened:

"Quiet!"

Seeing this, Lai San didn't dare to delay and said quickly:

"There are often rich gentry and prostitutes in and out of the county government office, so Mr. Bao must accept bribes..."

Seeing that he was talking endlessly, Zhu Fang slapped the gavel immediately and angrily said:

"Shut up and get to the point!"

He was a little depressed. Is there any need to ask you about such things that have no evidence and are even insignificant?

The point is whether he committed a bribery crime, preferably a clue to the case of the Qian family extermination.

Na Lai San was taken aback, racked his brains and thought for a while, and quickly said:

"My lord, the villain remembered."

"A few days ago, Mr. Chen's son-in-law who came to visit died. Everyone said that he was killed by the Chen family's daughter."

"Officer Chen took his daughter to the yamen for a day and a night, and there was nothing to say."

"According to the villain, it must be Master Bao who slept with that beautiful little lady of the Chen family, and exonerated her, hehe..."

Zhu Fang was a bit disappointed when he heard about this case, but the size is still a piece of meat, so he slapped the gavel and said:

"Come here, bring the Chen family's father and daughter..."

Before he could finish speaking, a fat man rushed out, kicked at Lai San, and cursed angrily:

"You bastard, how dare you ruin my daughter's reputation!"

Zhu Fang said angrily:

"Stop it and say, what the hell is going on?"

Chen Yuanwai quickly knelt down and said:

"My lord, I'm wronged. All the gentry in Yuyao know that County Magistrate Bao doesn't accept money, let alone women."

"Cao Min brought his daughter into the Yamen because he listened to what the sorcerer said and avoided the yin."

"My daughter is still a virgin. If you don't believe me, the old man can ask the stable woman to check!"

Hearing this, there was an uproar, Zhu Mian said angrily:

"Nonsense, you just died your son-in-law, why do you say that your daughter is a virgin?"

Chen Yuanwai quickly explained:

"It's really because my former son-in-law is inhumane, so my daughter is afraid that he will become a ghost and be entangled, so she has to go to a place where the law is strict."

After finishing speaking, he smiled at everyone and said:

"Everyone, Mrs. Chen's family is rich and her daughter is still innocent, and she is about to find another young talent..."

It turned out that he broke the news for himself because he wanted to make a son-in-law advertisement. Now this occasion is too suitable, authority!

Zhu Mian was almost fuming with anger:

"roll!"

Chen Yuanwai hurriedly said seriously:

"Master Zhu, please don't be angry. The grassroots are telling the truth. The gentry in our county know about Bao County magistrate's self-discipline."

"The Qian family who was murdered had a bad relationship with the county magistrate because they were rejected for sending famous prostitutes and gold and silver to the county magistrate."

"Furthermore, County Magistrate Bao had a wealthy family before he took office, and now he doesn't have a single concubine. How can he be a money-grubbing and lustful person?"

When the people heard the words, they also said one after another:

"My lords, hang your mirrors high, don't listen to Xin San's words, you have wronged Master Bao!"

"Which of the neighboring counties is poor and miserable, with Master Bao, we can live peacefully in Yuyao..."

Hearing the words of the people, Bao Mian was grateful, embarrassed, and even looked at Cao Bin resentfully.

It's not that he doesn't like women, but that he suffered from psychological problems when he was in Xiangzhou. It's okay to see beautiful women, and it's okay to see a bed.

But seeing the bed and the beautiful woman at the same time, his legs are weak and his waist hurts...

Cao Bin threw him in the brothel for three days and three nights, almost letting him play himself to death, and then he avoided these things.

Don't look at him for entertaining, he is unrestrained and easy, but he is just a silver pewter gun.....

Listening to the common people's opinions, they only said that the magistrate of Bao County was clean and self-conscious, not greedy and selfless, which made Zhu Mian very helpless and felt a little helpless. ,

The officials watching also admired Bao Mian.

They couldn't believe it especially when they heard that Bao Mian rejected the Qian family's gift of Wanguan family wealth and Jiangnan famous prostitute Chen Xiaoxiao.

That Chen Xiaoxiao is said to be heavenly and beautiful, a beauty in the world, an ordinary celebrity who wants to have a one-night pleasure but can't get it.

Even the son of the former transport envoy was rejected to redeem her, and he didn't know how he was persuaded by the Qian family.

If it were them, they might not be able to resist this temptation.

At this moment, Bao Zheng couldn't help but stroked his beard and nodded.

It seems that Bao Mian has not forgotten his warning, and has completely fallen... I feel a little comforted in my heart.

Zhu Fang sat in the main seat, frowning tightly, looked at Bao Mian and asked:

"Bao Mian, the Qian family had conflicts with you before they were wiped out."

"The master you hired is very likely to be the murderer. How do you explain this?"

Now, he has no other reason, but he is not willing to end the case hastily, so he can only bring up the case of extermination of the Qian family for questioning.

See if there is an opportunity to ask the flaw.

Upon hearing this, Bao Mian hurriedly said:

"Master Zhu, please be aware that the lower official had a conflict with Patriarch Qian because he wanted to prevent the lower official from investigating the Zihe car case two years ago."

"The lower officials don't want to kill people just for official business!"

Zhu Mian sneered and said:

"In the case of the extermination of the Qian family, you are the most suspect. No matter how you argue, the murderer is also your cronies."

As he spoke, he looked at the people and said:

"Whoever has clues to this case, is not afraid of the powerful, and has the courage to produce evidence, I can recommend him as an official!"

Hearing this, everyone was in an uproar.

Not only the common people, but even the officials were a little surprised. They didn't expect Zhu Fang to take such a big bargaining chip.

In doing so, the signs of deliberately embarrassing Bao Mian are a bit obvious, and it is easy to attract criticism.

So they looked at Cao Bin one after another.

Most of these officials were caught by Cao Bin, and they were all looking at him.

However, Cao Bin just squinted his eyes and did not stop him.

With the key witness in his hands, Zhu Fang couldn't turn the sky around. The more he danced at this time, the easier it was to leave behind the grounds for impeachment.

Bao Zheng didn't know where the witness was, and he was both displeased and worried.

Although he is impartial, he is unwilling to watch his nephew being framed.

Giving such huge benefits and bait is no longer investigating the case, but tempting the people to take the risk of framing.

Just when he was about to question, a government official rushed out from the county and shouted:

"My lords, I have evidence. I have evidence that County Magistrate Bao ordered Mr. Hua to kill the Qian family."

Hearing this, everyone gasped, and immediately exploded. Even Bao Zheng's heart skipped a beat. He thought that Bao Mian was really in danger.

It is not a trivial matter for local gentry to be wiped out. Once the charges are confirmed, even the court officials will not be able to escape.

However, Zhu Fang, who was sitting in the upright seat, was very pleasantly surprised. He only felt that the risk was worth it, and he actually gained something, so he quickly leaned down and asked:

"What evidence do you have, show it quickly. If what you said is true, I will never go back on my word."

The yamen servant held up a letter saying:

"My lord, this is the evidence that Xiao Xiao stole from the study of County Magistrate Bao, please check it!"

The guard quickly took the letter and handed it to Zhu Fang.

The more Zhu Fang read it, the more happy his face became, but after he finished watching, some doubts appeared on his face.

Turning around, handing the letter to Cao Bin said:

"Zhong Jinghou, take a look, this letter should be true, right?"

Cao Bin took it over and looked at it for a few times, and almost burst out laughing. It turned out that the signature on it was Bao Zheng.

In the letter, Bao Mian was also instructed to kill someone to silence him.

Mad, how can this be true?

Thinking of this, he glanced at Xia Bao Mian, and seeing him winking at him secretly, Cao Bin instantly understood, and couldn't help being speechless.

This kid became more and more unruly, and he even plotted against his own uncle.

This is obviously a bitter trick.
