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

"So, the most important thing you should learn is diligence. Don't think that once you enter an official career, you will stop studying..."

Cao Bin would never have imagined that in Bao Zheng's eyes, he would become a studious person.

This is not to blame Bao Zheng, although Cao Bin used examples from later generations when explaining to Bao Mian, but he only knew some basic economic knowledge.

What's more, he said it casually, he only wanted to reduce his own laziness, and never intended to teach Bao Mian specifically, but he did not expect him to record it seriously.

For the Song Dynasty, although there are many new ideas, they generally do not deviate from the thoughts of the legalist sage Guan Zhong.

When Bao Mian heard this, he smiled and said:

"Mr. Cao said that it depends on whether the ruler is good, not how rich the rich are, but how poor the poor are."

"What my uncle sees is nothing more than one out of ten of what Master Hou taught..."

These two days, Bao Zheng was in a very good mood, and his smile was much more than before.

Although Bao Mian's governance ideas are different from his, the effect and prospect are surprisingly good, which also makes him often feel that he is out of the blue.

Seeing the satisfaction of the people from the bottom of his heart, he was a little shaken by some of his insistence...

A person like him who has read thoroughly can see the essence of most things clearly, and it is impossible to shake the most fundamental ideas, but he is never stubborn in his cognition of new things.

On the third day, just when Bao Zheng felt that he still wanted more, Wu Song and Shi Qian finally brought Bao Mian's master, "Hua Ren" who is known as the poisonous scholar in the world.

At the same time, they even brought a giraffe,

With Hua Ren, the case of Qian's extermination has no more suspense. Even if Zhu Fang is not reconciled, he has no choice.

What matters is the giraffe, which no one present knows.

Shi Qian introduced:

"Master Hou, we fished out this strange beast from the river. It is said that it is a unicorn from Nanyang."

"However, the envoys were drowned when they encountered wind and waves..."

Hangzhou Zhizhou hurriedly said:

"Congratulations to Lord Hou, congratulations to Lord Hou, this is auspicious, if it is dedicated to the imperial court, His Majesty will be delighted!"

At this time, everyone was attracted by this cute thing, and they didn't care about the case, even Zhu Mian was greatly moved.

When Cao Bin saw this scene, he couldn't help thinking of a plan, thinking that he could trick Zhu Fang, but he was not in a hurry, instead he said:

"Let's talk about this later, try the case first!"

The case of the Qian family is somewhat complicated.

The previous Patriarch of the Qian family believed in the alchemist's words and wanted to use purple river carts in pregnant women's wombs as medicine to refine and cure longevity pills.

So two years ago, there were frequent cases of pregnant women dying tragically in Yuyao County, and Hua Ren was the one who took the initiative for the Qian family.

After the previous head of the Qian family died, this matter was also suppressed.

It was after Bao Mian took office that he discovered clues to this old case, and that's when he turned against the Qian family.

Therefore, the Qian family planned to let Huaren hang around Bao Mian to monitor and make trouble.

But as Bao Mian's investigation got deeper and deeper, the Qian family dog ​​jumped the wall in a hurry and wanted to instruct Hua Ren to kill Bao Mian directly.

But Huaren is not stupid, he dared to kill common people, but Bao Mian has a strong background, once he dies, he will be strictly investigated, so he sternly refused.

Afterwards, various conflicts broke out, and he kept on doing nothing, simply poisoning the entire Qian family to death, and then fled.

But he didn't expect that he would be the master of the rivers and lakes, but he would be knocked down by an old farmer's hammer...

In the Baogong case, Bao Mian's end was regrettable, and it was also a heavy blow to Bao Zheng.

Today, Bao Mian should not make the same mistake again.

With Huaren's confession, the Zihe Che case and the Qian family extermination case have basically been solved.

All that was left was to confront the branch of the Qian family who went to Beijing to sue for imperial appeal, and the result could not be changed.

After taking over two major cases that were about to be solved, Hangzhou Tuiguan was very excited.

Such a serious case, even if it only dealt with the ending, it would be a great achievement.

[Congratulations to the host for cultivating a fellow with dandy potential, reward 2000 dandy points. 】

Hearing the system prompt, Cao Bin glanced at it in disgust, but didn't pay much attention to it.

There are too few rewards. If I try my best, I can get it out in a few days, but it is just better than nothing.

At this time, Cao Bin looked at the giraffe, stretched out his hand and stroked its brocade-like fur, thinking for a moment.

Most of the trade between the surrounding countries and the Song Dynasty was through tribute.

In order to obtain generous rewards, there are also exaggerated names for tributes.

Seeing this, the magistrate of Hangzhou immediately said:

"Master Hou, since the foreign envoy is dead, should I dedicate it to the imperial court in your name?"

Cao Bin shook his head and said:

"This thing is a unicorn, why don't I believe it?"

"...The meat is firm, I don't know if it's delicious or not."

Hearing this, everyone broke out in a cold sweat. It's a strange brain circuit for you to think of eating such a strange beast.

Wouldn't it be good to dedicate it to His Majesty?

When the emperor is happy, he may be promoted to a higher level!

The Tuiguan in Hangzhou just received Cao Bin's favor, but he really thought of him, he shook his head and said:

"Your Majesty, you can't. The two Zhejiang provinces have many exchanges with foreign businessmen. It is said that there are indeed unicorns in the far southwest, and those local barbarians also call it so."

"Look at it's two feet tall, with a moose body and horseshoe, with a horned horn (of the same month), and with a beautiful appearance...it must be a unicorn. This is the stage of promotion!"

Cao Bin shook his head in disdain and said:

"Does this marquis need a promotion rank?"

Everyone was speechless at once, this is really capricious for the Hou Ye, do you have to taste it?What a waste!

Seeing him like this, Zhu Fang was also a little bit embarrassed, but when he thought of Cao Bin's extreme favor, he couldn't help being sour and jealous, and suddenly he said in his heart:

"Zhong Jinghou, why don't you sell this thing to me? I'm willing to give ten thousand guan!"

Cao Bin glanced at him and said with a smile:

"Master Zhu has underestimated this marquis, ten thousand guan, can this marquis afford it?"

As he said that, he was about to get someone to do it, Zhu Fang quickly gritted his teeth and said:

"One hundred thousand, I am willing to pay one hundred thousand guan!"

In order to gain the emperor's favor, he also went all out and gave away most of his net worth.

But it was worth it for him. If the emperor was happy, he might be able to enter the center and make him a prime minister.

His qualifications are sufficient. This kind of auspiciousness and entry into the center is not without precedent, and there are many.

After all, there has been a saying since ancient times that "when the unicorn comes out, the world will be peaceful!".

Cao was pondered for a moment and stretched out five fingers:

"15 sticks!"

Zhu Fang wanted to bargain, but seeing Cao Bin's appearance that he was about to boil the pot, he had to agree and wrote down the IOU.

Seeing Cao Bin checking the IOU with joy on his face, he felt his heart was bleeding.

He turned his head to look at "Kirin", and felt much better.

"Come here, go charter a big boat and prepare the best minced meat and beans."

He decided that for the next few days, he would enshrine the "Kirin" like an ancestor.

When all the officials saw that the two of them had reached a deal, they couldn't help sighing, feeling that Cao Bin had suffered a great loss.

Bao Zheng shook his head slightly, he didn't pay attention to these bad things, instead he took advantage of this time to warn Bao Mian of some things he should not do.

Bao Mian was a little unwilling and said:

"Then Zhu Mian is clearly not a good thing. Even if the unicorn is useless to Lord Cao, it shouldn't be sold to Zhu Fang."

Bao Zheng glanced at him, sighed and said:

"You are still young, so you don't know the dangers of officialdom."

"What do you think Zhu Fang is asking you for trouble this time?"

"With Cao Bin's personality, I don't think so."

Bao Mian immediately cheered up:

"Uncle means that Marquis Cao has other plans?"

Bao Zheng shook his head and said:

"I don't know what his plan is, but they are in the south of the Yangtze River, and the two of them will definitely not live in peace in the future."

Bao Mian hurriedly said:

"What will uncle do? Will you help Lord Cao?"

Bao Zheng said:

"As long as it is beneficial to the court and the people, my uncle will not refuse, let alone helping anyone."

Bao Mian was a little depressed, this uncle was really ruthless and tight-lipped.

Seeing him like this, Bao Zheng couldn't help showing a smile, and said something clearly:

"Don't worry, I don't think Cao Bin is a treacherous person. If he is in trouble, my uncle will try his best to protect him."

Then Bao Mian became happy.

This time he went south, seeing Bao Mian becoming a talent, although Bao Zheng didn't express it clearly, he was extremely relieved in his heart.

Of course, I am also very grateful to Cao Bin, especially after understanding his governance strategy, my favorability almost exploded.

The suspicious case was settled, and the officials didn't delay, and soon they started to return to Hangzhou by boat under the welcome of Yuyao people.

On the official ship, Bao Zheng was alone in the cabin to record his political experience.

This trip touched him a lot. Originally, he was very optimistic about the magistrate of Yu County, but he didn't expect that he was so far away from Bao Mian, who was not very good in official reputation.

He thinks he should have a good physiology to understand the reason...

Here, Cao Bin called the Tuiguan from Hangzhou alone, and asked directly:

"Do you know that strange beast just now?"

Li Tuiguan hastily said:

"Master Hou, I haven't seen it before, but I heard a word or two from foreign businessmen."

"It is said that it is very far away from my Great Song Dynasty, and it is almost impossible to transport it..."

Cao Bin nodded and said:

"You find more foreigners and work together to compile a book of knowledge and add this kind of strange beast."

"Let's say it's a giraffe, it's very common, it's no different from cattle and sheep...then give it to the imperial court!"

Li Tuiguan didn't understand at first, but after listening to it, he couldn't help but start to sweat.

This Marquis Cao is too insidious.

If Zhu Fang presented this strange beast and was promoted by the court as auspicious unicorn, writing this book by himself would be tantamount to a naked slap in the face.

At that time, the whole court will lose face, why not hate Zhu Fang to death?Even I have to be unlucky, so I quickly pleaded with a bitter face:

"Master Hou, I don't dare to be an officer!"

Cao Bin glanced at him sideways and said:

"You are only a senior official, what is there to be afraid of? Even if the gentlemen are angry, they will not be able to face you."

"Furthermore, isn't this Marquis protecting you? I have some friendship with Grand Master Pan, so I can recommend you when the time comes..."
