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

At this time, all the officials were a little jealous, and they all came out to impeach.

Wang Fu was completely dumbfounded.

He never expected that the situation would reach such a point that even those officials who had no factions jumped out, as if he had killed their parents.

Pan Renmei wanted to say a few words for him, but after chanting a few words of 100 million, and seeing others yelling and beating him, she dared not move.

Wang Yanling glanced at Cao Bin, and had no choice but to step forward and say:

"Your Majesty, I also think it is possible to investigate, so as to return Vice Envoy Wang's innocence."

"But it's not advisable to get too involved..."

Empress Dowager Pan frowned and thought about it, and felt that it was not good to always owe money, so she nodded and said:

"In that case, let's check!"

People like Wang Fu who have their own problems, as long as they are taken into custody, basically announced the end.

The tree fell and scattered.

Even without special investigation, there will be his confidants who will make trouble.

As the date of the old emperor's burial is getting closer, envoys from various countries have also rushed to Bianjing...

Without Wang Fu's interference, Zhang Dun's actions became extremely smooth, the progress of the audit was extremely fast, and various problems were exposed.

However, Cao Bin did not carry out a large-scale purge. Except for the removal of rotten officials, most people were rewarded and punished according to the degree of mistakes.

With such a combination of grace and power, Cao Bin quickly took control of the three divisions.

To the satisfaction of the imperial court, more than 200 million guan coins were copied out through this operation. Not to mention the repayment of arrears, even the new emperor's enthronement was more than enough for the rewards of all officials.

When that old fellow Wang Yanling found out, he also had a smile on his face and was happy in his heart.

No one can escape the happiness brought by money.

With this money, the court can hold a funeral for Emperor Daxing in a splendid manner, and all officials can celebrate the New Year happily.

It can be said that, except for Wang Fu and others, everyone is happy.

Of course, Pan Renmei was also a little unhappy. Looking at the ministers who received their salaries and rewards, he always felt that his own money had been taken away.

"Father, now that the overall situation has been settled, shouldn't it be time for my son to recognize Zhong Jinghou as his adoptive father?"

The foreword was not fulfilled, and Empress Dowager Pan herself was a little worried, so she invited Pan Renmei to the palace, and wanted to discuss with him about the little emperor's recognition of his father.

Pan Renmei was a little unhappy when she heard the words:

"Why should my daughter be in a hurry? Let him dry first."

Empress Dowager Pan was very surprised:

"Father, why is this? You don't want to miss the appointment, do you?"

Pan Renmei sneered and said:

"Even if I miss the appointment, what can he do with me? Cao Bin is not enough to take advantage of me. He is also the deputy envoy of the third department and the future queen. This kid has taken all the benefits."

"The person who plans to be a father now has never notified him in advance. If he doesn't give him some color, he will think that the father has no temper."

That night when the emperor Tuogu, he held his breath.

Risking his own life, he plotted back and forth for the emperor's own son, but in the end he didn't get any benefits, and even lost a job. Cao Bin and Wang Yanling got all the benefits.

Even the Yang family got a piece of Yubian, this is so f*ckingly depressing.

Empress Dowager Pan was a little puzzled and said:

"Since that Wang Fu belongs to my father, why didn't you object? My daughter thought you wanted to deal with him too?"

"If he had known this earlier, his daughter might have saved his life."

Hearing this, Pan Renmei waved her hands in disdain:

"It doesn't matter, then Wang Fu is not considered a father, he has a family property of millions of dollars, but he only pays for his life with one hundred thousand coins. Think I'm a fool?"

"At that time, he became the target of public criticism again. He was of no value. It was not worth getting into trouble for this little money."

Empress Dowager Pan wrinkled her pretty face, couldn't help but give her father a blank look, and said speechlessly:

"Regardless of whether Wang Fu belongs to my father or not, it's better not to offend Cao Bin by breaking the promise."

"Not to mention that his martial arts skills are world-class, he can keep my son in a stable position, and he can also cure my son from disasters..."

Pan Renmei sneered and said:

"What about eliminating disasters and curing diseases? He is just lying to you. Do you think he is a god?"

Cao Bin did say this, but it was because the "Yizi Card" had the effect of enhancing physical fitness, which was also the reason why he was not afraid of the little emperor dying halfway.

At this time, Empress Dowager Pan also saw that her father was mentally unbalanced.

But she didn't want to regret it, because in her heart, Cao Bin was much more reliable than her father.

The question now is whether to air him, put some pressure on him, and make him be more obedient to himself...

Cao Bin didn't know what the Pan family's father and daughter were thinking. At this time, he was drinking tea and chatting with Pang Yu in the tea shed at the south wharf of Bianjing City.

Pang Ji and his family will arrive in Beijing by water today.

While drinking tea, the servant suddenly came to report:

"Master Hou, our boat is here..."

Cao Bin and Pang Yu hurriedly got up and walked to the pier when they heard the words. Sure enough, they saw a fleet of ships approaching the shore slowly, with a large flag of "Loyal Jinghou's Mansion" flying on the big ship in front of them.

All the official ships and merchant ships around gave way one after another.

There are a total of twenty large ships with thousands of materials in this fleet.

Cao Bin's family members were on the first two ships, and behind them were the soldiers of the army. This army was already under the command of the Dianqian Division, and Gao Shun was the commander of the army.

At this time, Pang Ji had already stepped off the boat first.

At this time, his face was full of joy, with a smile in the corner of his eyes. Seeing Cao Bin salute, he hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, laughed loudly and said:

"Okay, okay, okay, the old man was worried that Juncai would take risks, and it was a close call. I didn't expect you to be able to turn clouds and rain."

Then, he patted him on the shoulder again and said:

"This handsome talent really gave the old man a big surprise!"

Pang Yu saw that Pang Ji was overjoyed, completely ignoring his appearance of saluting, a little depressed, so he had to get up by himself, this father is a bit snobbish...

But he also understands Pang Ji's mood, the head of the third department is about to reach the peak of power.

At Cao Bin's age, as long as there are no accidents in the middle, it's just easy to become the master of the center.

After seeing Pang Ji, Pang Yanyan also came down with a group of concubines.

After everyone saw the ceremony, Du Shiniang's eyes were red, and she held Cao Bin tightly with both hands and said:

"Cao Lang, will our daughter be queen in the future?"

Cao Bin patted her hand and comforted her:

"This is the late emperor's order...Don't worry, I know the palace is not a good place, and I will find a way to cancel the engagement."

Hearing this, Du Shiniang said anxiously:

"I... I didn't mean that, I just didn't expect my daughter to be a queen..."

As she spoke, she froze for a moment, as if thinking of something, she hugged Cao Bin tightly and said:

"Well, the imperial palace is indeed not a good place. I listen to Cao Lang and regret the marriage."

Hearing this, Li Shishi patted her angrily and said:

"A few days ago, you said that your daughter's life is precious, but now you say it stupidly. Be careful that people will laugh at you."

"The honor of a queen is an honor that ordinary women can't ask for, not to mention our origins?"

After finishing speaking, she quickly reminded:

"The Yue family's master and uncle are here, don't be rude..."

Although Pang Ji and Pang Yu had already walked to the tea canopy to talk, Du Shiniang also felt impolite, and quickly smiled apologetically to Pang Yanyan and let Cao Bin out.

Cao Bin took Pang Yanyan's hand and said with a smile:

"This is not a place to talk, let's talk back home."

After finishing speaking, he asked the servant girl to lead the girls into the carriage, and asked Fu Bo to direct Jia Ding to dress up on the carriage and salute before going to see Pang Ji.

Pang Ji was in a good mood. Seeing Cao Bin coming, he asked with a smile:

"Juncai, you haven't encountered trouble in taking charge of the third department?"

Cao Bin laughed and said:

"Father-in-law, don't worry. A few days ago, Wang Fu wanted to fight me, but he was defeated."

Afterwards, he briefly talked about Wang Fu's affairs.

Pang Ji nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile:

"good."

He pondered for a moment and said:

"How about this, after the national funeral, I will hold a birthday banquet in the capital and introduce some officials for you."

Cao Bin remembered clearly that Pang Ji's birthday was in August, so he wanted to use the birthday banquet to help him form a power?

His plan is to slowly recruit capable talents and keep a low profile as much as possible, so he hesitated when he heard this:

"Isn't that a little too ostentatious?"

Pang Ji laughed and said:

"With your current status, it's okay to make some publicity!"

"If you want to do things in the court, you can't keep a low profile. The more powerful you are, the smoother it is to be an official."

"Don't underestimate those mediocre officials, you and them are just using each other."

"With their support, others will not dare to provoke you easily, and make you trip up..."

Seeing what Pang Ji said, Cao Bin no longer refused, and chatted for a while about the recent situation of the court, and then the servants finished pretending and saluted.

Then everyone boarded their horses and chariots and went to Bianjing City.

Cao's family had a large population, and they were accustomed to the extravagant living expenses, so they only used nearly a hundred carriages, and the team stretched for a mile or two.

When the merchants along the way saw the huge convoy, they gave way one after another.

After seeing the flags on the convoy, a foreign businessman couldn't help complaining:

"Zhongjing Hou Cao's family? This is really rich. It seems that he just came back from being an official in another place, and he doesn't know how much he has been greedy."

Hearing this, some people in the capital immediately retorted:

"What do you know? Master Cao is known as the Little God of Wealth, and his family's business can't make money, so there's no need for corruption?"

At this time, a scholar next to him heard the words and said seriously:

"The Taizu once stipulated that officials are not allowed to engage in business and compete for profit with the people. Even if a loyal lord is doing business, it is not in line with the court's laws, right?"

Hearing this, the merchant laughed instead:

"Which life are you talking about? The court has long since ignored it."

"What's more, they are ordinary officials, and the nobles of the Zhongjinghou Mansion are not among them."

The scholar choked for a moment and said angrily:

"A gentleman is ashamed of his words, and the court is full of people with bad mouths. How can the country be governed?"

The Song Dynasty couldn't help buying and selling land, so it attached great importance to business, and it also had a non-compliant but acquiescing attitude towards officials doing business, and Xungui had no restrictions.

This is already a normal state, and even Bao Zheng doesn't care about these things.

Only certain clean streams and specific officials will use business to make money as a raft to impeach others or be impeached.
