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

"It's better for you to offend the emperor. His old man will probably not care about you because of Lord Bao's face."

"Offending Lord Cao, you are asking for bad luck."

"How capable was Fifth Uncle Bai back then? He is even more arrogant than you, but you have to stay away from Zhong Jinghou and avoid him..."

Speaking of Bai Yutang, everyone was a little bit embarrassed, secretly regretting and sighing.

Those juniors were not familiar with Cao Bin, but they were very familiar with Bai Yutang. Even if they had never met, they often heard it mentioned by their elders.

Hearing Fourth Uncle Jiang, who is famous for his resourcefulness, say this, and all the famous knights agree, all the juniors are a little curious, wondering what kind of person Cao Bin is, and it makes them talk about it.

Seeing that his words had an effect, Jiang Ping laughed again:

"You don't have to treat Marquis Cao as a bad guy, as long as you don't mess with him, he's easy to get along with."

"Besides, he is generous and donates money, which is why he has the nickname 'Xiao Mengchang'..."

When everyone heard the words, they nodded.

A boy with white eyebrows in the [-]th and [-]th year suddenly asked with a Shanxi accent:

"Then how did Uncle Zhan offend Lord Cao? Why do you have to worry about getting married?"

Zhan Zhao said with embarrassment:

"Children, don't ask random questions, just remember not to provoke him."

As he spoke, he quickly changed the subject and said:

"Also, friends, please don't preach about my marriage to the officials, so as not to be known by Marquis Cao."

Everyone probably knew Zhan Zhao's difficulties, and when they heard this request, they nodded quickly and said:

"Brother Zhan, don't worry..."

Just as he was talking, someone knocked on the door suddenly and said:

"Brother Zhan, the officials are here, hurry up and greet them."

Hearing this, Zhan Zhao couldn't help showing a wry smile, just now he said not to notify the officials, but he didn't expect to come right away.

I just hope it has nothing to do with Zhong Jinghou. Thinking of this, he can only go out to greet him.

Jiang Pingping also hurried out to meet him.

Outside the gate of the courtyard, Gongsun Ce and a middle-aged scribe were waiting surrounded by several guards. Zhan Zhao hurriedly stepped forward and said:

"Mr. Gongsun, why are you here?"

Gongsun Ce did not answer directly, but introduced the scholars around him and said:

"Guard Zhan, this is the envoy of Master Zhu, the transshipment envoy of the two Zhejiang provinces."

After the two parties greeted each other, Gongsun Ce said:

"Guard Zhan, we are here this time because we have a task to entrust to you."

"Master Zhu found out that Zhong Jinghou was in collusion with the remnants of Fang La, and reported it to Master Bao."

"It's just that Mr. Bao is in some inconvenience these days, so I want to leave this matter to you to handle, and let you investigate secretly!"

Hearing this, Zhan Zhao's head buzzed, and his eyebrows frowned. Mr. Bao is hurting himself, so he said quickly:

"Mr. Gongsun, you also know that Zhan has been training for more than a year, not to mention getting married now?"

The middle-aged scribe sneered and said:

"I think you are evading it on purpose. How could it be such a coincidence? Master Bao is sick, and Zhan Weiwei is about to get married. Do you want to protect some people?"

"Don't forget, you are all officials of the imperial court, receiving the imperial salary..."

"Since that's the case, I'll report back to Master Zhu and ask him to report to the court, and let the court deal with it directly."

After speaking, he turned around and left.

Gongsun Ce quickly grabbed him and said:

"Wait a minute sir, wait for Xiaosheng to persuade the guards alone."

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help showing a wry smile. He also knew Zhan Zhao's difficulties, but he had to.

It wasn't that Bao Zheng wanted to embarrass Zhan Zhao on purpose, he could roughly guess Zhu Fang's sinister intentions, and he didn't quite believe that Cao Bin would collude with the remnants of the rebels, but he couldn't explain it to Cao Bin.

Otherwise, Zhu Fang has every reason to impeach himself for colluding with Cao Bin's cronies, and his own principles do not allow him to do so.

However, if Bao Zheng went out in person to investigate Cao Bin secretly, it would probably arouse his violent reaction and cause unnecessary internal strife.

Only Zhan Zhao, the fourth-rank imperial guard with a knife, was neither high nor low, and could not only confess to Zhu Mian, but also serve as a buffer between Bao Zheng and Cao Bin.

Moreover, among Bao Zheng's direct subordinates, only Zhan Zhao has the ability to secretly investigate Cao Bin, even if he sends other people, it's just to deliver food.

But thanks to Bao Zheng's caution, if he really investigates secretly, Cao Bin may not give him face, because Cao Bin really has a connection with Fang La's remnants...

If it is found out, it is not unreasonable to lose the official position, and it is inevitable to be suspected and accused by the court.

After Gongsun Ce explained Bao Zheng's difficulty to Zhan Zhao, he was speechless for a while, feeling that it was too bad luck.

Investigate Cao Bin?Isn't this sent to the door to find discomfort?Is it too late to hide from him?

Seeing that he was hesitant to agree, Jiang Ping gritted his teeth, and the boss of the Ding family got up angrily and said:

"What's there to be afraid of? You just take on this job, and then you should get married."

"Leave the investigation of Cao Bin to our two brothers. If his faults are found out, let's see how he has the face to ruin my sister's marriage."

Ding's second child was also full of resentment and said:

"My sister is such a big girl, it's so difficult to marry someone, I've had enough."

"You Zhannan Xia, are you really aggrieved?"

Zhan Zhao was also blushed by the words of the two elder brothers. He was indeed sorry for the girl, so he could only nod his head and say:

"Okay, but be careful not to be discovered by Marquis Cao."

Everyone was speechless, but they were still getting ready.

In addition to the Ding's Shuangxia, there are Shanxi Erjue, Yunnan Sanlao and several "friends" who are good in martial arts to help.

Then there are the masters sent by Zhu Mian to monitor...

On this day, while Bao Zheng was dealing with official duties, a yamen servant rushed in and reported:

"Lord Bao, Daxia Ding from Yawai and others want to hide here."

Bao Zheng's face was stiff and he said hastily:

"Let them in quickly."

When he saw Ding and the others, he couldn't help being surprised and said:

"Several righteous men, what's wrong with you."

I saw a few heroes of the rivers and lakes, all wounded, very miserable, with panic still on their faces.

Ding Erxia hurriedly said:

"Master Bao, we wanted to sneak into Zhong Jinghou's Chi Garden, but we didn't expect the defenses to be very tight."

"Besides, there are many masters. We are being chased and killed. I hope Master Bao will save us."

Speaking of this, he still has lingering fears in his heart.

That's all for the densely packed crossbow arrows, and there are a few masters with outstanding swordsmanship, who seem to be from the same school, and they cooperate tacitly, and they almost can't get out.

Bao Zheng sighed:

"Why are you so careless..."

Thinking that they were also trying to help me, I couldn't say anything more, so I had to say:

"You hide first, I will block the pursuers for you."

Only then did the knight-errants heave a sigh of relief.

But until the next day, Cao Bin's subordinates did not come. While Bao Zheng was relieved, he was also very relieved. It seemed that Cao Bin still gave himself a lot of face.

As long as it is found out that he is innocent, Zhu Mian will be able to explain the past.

So he called the Ding Heroes alone and said:

"I would like to trouble a few righteous men to take action. I am very grateful. This incident should be over."

"But you must be careful in the future, don't enter Zhong Jinghou's mansion again, so as not to arouse his resentment..."

Just as the Ding heroes were about to breathe a sigh of relief, the yamen servant suddenly came to report:

"Lord Bao, Lord Cao has gone to Changzhou with a group of people."

The three of them looked at each other, Bao Zheng's expression changed suddenly, and he said:

"It's broken, I'm looking for a Zhan guard!"

"Prepare the car and go to Changzhou with me quickly."

He was a little speechless, thinking that Cao Bin was saving face for himself, but he didn't expect to go directly to Zhan Zhao to trouble him.

I just hope that no one is killed, otherwise the situation will get out of control.

As he said that, he immediately took someone to chase after Cao Bin.

The Ding Heroes were also a little helpless. What the hell, they were exposed as soon as they made a move. It seems that the sister's marriage is going to be troublesome again.

At this time, the transfer envoy Yamen also got the news.

Zhu Mian was very happy at this time, he laughed and said:

"Let's fight, he, Cao Bin, was offended by a 'reckless Jianghu', if he can't save his face, then don't hang around in the court."

"In addition, inform our people to look for opportunities to provoke them. It is best to kill a few more people and make them sworn enemies."

Although Zhan Zhao has served the imperial court for a long time, to him, it is still nothing but recklessness.

With that said, he asked his staff again:

"Have you contacted La Remnants?"

The staff nodded and said:

"Those rebels still have several thousand people. The one who is in charge now is Fang La's daughter, and her name has also been changed to Bailianshe."

Zhu Mian sneered and said:

"Are you afraid of being beaten by Cao Bin? Do you think you can escape the attention of the court by changing your name?"

Then he stopped thinking about it and ordered directly:

"Send someone to tell her that as long as she is willing to cooperate with us, she can avenge her father..."

If you want them to fight to the death, you must not only create hatred, but also hand them a knife.

Thinking of this, Zhu Mian was secretly satisfied, with a sense of accomplishment in planning and planning.

A few days later, Changzhou Canal Pier C.

This pier has been taken over by a group of people from the rivers and lakes, so they are all people with knives and swords.

Zhan Zhaozheng, dressed in a bright red wedding dress, took the bride off the boat, and was just about to greet the friends from the world who came to welcome him.

Hearing a sound of horseshoes, a brigade of cavalry suddenly rushed out from Changzhou City.

"Why have I never heard of a large army passing by today?"

All the heroes of the rivers and lakes were wondering, when they saw black cavalry rushing towards them like a torrent.

"Damn it, it's coming for us."

"Run..."

Although seven of these green forest masters are not convinced and eight are not angry on weekdays, speaking of it, they don't pay much attention to the court.

But let them fight against large cavalry, they really dare not.

Among them, Jiang Ping reacted the fastest. After yelling, regardless of 21, he kicked and ran away, losing one of his shoes.

Several young people originally wanted to try their own skills, but seeing this situation, they couldn't help being dumbfounded, cursed, and hurriedly used lightness kung fu to run away.
