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

Yan Chasan was only in charge of three states, but reported more than 6000 casualties.

Cao Bin was in charge of seven states, and only reported a little over 1000.

Again, it is Zha (zha) sons listed by Shandong officials. Most of them are impeaching Yan Chasan, and almost none of them say that Cao Bin is bad.

The third point is even more ridiculous. Yan Chasan accused Cao Bin of embezzling disaster relief food funds.

As a result, Cao Bin did not ask the court to add more supplies. Instead, he couldn't support himself and asked the court for money and food.

Although the Song Dynasty was rich and prosperous, the expenditure was also very large. For the disaster relief in Shandong, the imperial court had successively distributed more than 500 million yuan in money and food, and even the expenses of the imperial palace had been reduced a lot.

For this matter, the emperor was often complained by the harem, and he happened to hit the muzzle of the gun.

Yan Chasan never expected this kind of situation anyway, full of grievances in his heart, he had no place to vent, so he slammed directly into the palace pillar in a hurry.

Thanks to the obstruction of colleagues, there was no tragedy.

This was the first time this happened at the court meeting, and it scared the emperor very much.

Yan Chasan's forehead was covered with blood, and he did not forget to cry: "Everything I said is true, I hope the officials will find out..."

Bao Zheng also said at the right time: "I also heard some rumors from the people, which coincided with Yan Hanlin's words. I would like to go to Shandong to investigate on behalf of Your Majesty."

The emperor looked bored and frowned at Bao Zheng for a while, but seeing his tough attitude, he waved his hands helplessly and said:

"Since Bao Qing is tireless, please go on my behalf..."

After the court meeting ended, more than ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

Yan Chasan hastily returned to Shandong...with the 15 coins saved by the palace.

Cao Bin is still enjoying the holiday leisurely, not in a hurry.

However, he didn't know that the officials in Shandong at this time had become ants on the hot pot.

Earlier than he expected.

Jeju Government Office.

A gentry asked Chang Feng anxiously:

"Master Chang, when will Uncle Cao set off and come back?"

"We have wiped out our entire family, and borrowed a lot from other provinces, all of which have been exchanged for food."

"If he doesn't come back, we won't be able to hold on."

The magistrate of Jiyin County was also full of anxiety: "Yes, teacher, some grain merchants in our county have already started to sell grain at lower grain prices!"

As soon as he said this, everyone's expressions changed, and Juye Zhixian even scolded directly:

"Have you filled your brain with dung? Once you open the mouth, wouldn't you pay more?"

"At that time, even if Uncle Cao comes back, the price will not be able to be brought back."

The magistrate of Jiyin was not used to him, and immediately scolded back:

"Rinenniang, what can I do? Those people secretly sell food, can I manage it?"

When Cao Bin left, he left too much confidence in the Shandong gentry.

So much so that they didn't leave any leeway, and came directly to the ruthless one, exchanging all their wealth for food.

Many grain merchants even borrowed money to buy grain, resulting in a backlog of grain everywhere in Shandong.

It would have been fine if there was an imperial guarantee, but now that Cao Bin had withdrawn, they couldn't bear it any longer.

Every day of delay, they will lose a lot of money. This feeling is like cutting their flesh every day.

A gentry asked: "Don't Uncle Cao have hundreds of thousands of money in Jeju City? Can you collect some of the grain first to relieve our pressure?"

The magistrate of Jeju wiped the sweat from his forehead, smiled wryly and shook his head, saying:

"No, the guards said, Uncle Cao hasn't come back, no one is allowed to use the savings."

The gentleman immediately became anxious:

"What should I do? Uncle Cao was delayed by something? Is there no news at all?"

"Yan Chasan has been back a long time ago! After so many days, why should I send a message?"

"...Did he do it on purpose?"

"Did he do it on purpose?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's conversation came to an abrupt end.

The governor of Jeju quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, Uncle Cao is Grand Master Pang's son-in-law, how could he intentionally frame us?"

Chang Feng shook his head, was silent for a while and said:

"I have indeed received news from the capital, and Cao Bin has not asked the imperial court for assistance..."

Hearing this news, everyone was in an uproar, and some even jumped up anxiously, and began to greet Cao Bin's eight generations of ancestors.

Chang Feng knocked on the table and said:

"Everything is quiet. I have already written a letter to inquire. He said that he is waiting for the court to pay taxes."

"Well, I'll write another letter to urge you, and see what he says..."

The expressions of the crowd eased a little, but Chang Feng's expression became even more gloomy.

"I hope you don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have, otherwise don't blame me for dying."

Zhongjing Hou Mansion Garden.

Although the weather is still very dry and cold, it is pleasant to sit in the sun.

Cao Bin and Du Shiniang are playing backgammon around the stone table, while Li Yun is reporting the business situation to Li Shishi.

Last time, Zhao Ji and Gao Qiu gave away two restaurants and a brothel in order to escape, and Cao Bin handed them over to Li Shishi to manage them.

And Li Yun, as Li Shishi's adoptive mother, took charge of the three shops for her.

Li Yun pointed to the ledger, and said to Li Shishi in a spirited way:

"Uncle's way of running the business is really enviable. It's just that the brothel has made a profit of more than 2000 taels this month."

"The idea of ​​the Wan Guo Customs Pavilion is really amazing. Our business has quadrupled this month."

"There are only beauties from the Wa, Goryeo, and Raksha countries."

"When the ships from the Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom and Chenla Kingdom come, the business will definitely be even hotter."

Master Li shook his head and said:

"If the brothel gets too popular, I'm afraid it will affect Cao Yun's reputation and career."

"Besides, as a concubine, I am in charge of an industry like a brothel, which makes people laugh."

Li Yun glanced at Cao Bin, and said with some pain: "Then what are you going to do?"

During this period of time, Li Yun was in charge of two restaurants and one brothel, and unexpectedly developed the attributes of a strong woman.

At this time, she was quite reluctant to let her give up the industry that she had developed by herself.

However, she is quite satisfied with her current life. The female relatives of other families, except for the head of the family, have no chance to control many properties.

Those young masters and young ladies, at most, have a monthly schedule of seven or eight taels of silver.

Now the property in Li Shishi's hands is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, and he even owns a share.

Cao Bin held a chess piece and turned his head with a smile: "Shandong has just built some restaurants and tile houses. Since senior and senior sisters don't like brothels, I'll just change them for you."

Li Yun said with some reluctance: "I don't even have a good cook, how much money can the restaurant make, Master is too stupid."

Cao Bin said with a smile: "If the restaurant is well established, there will be great potential..."

While he was talking, a little maid suddenly ran over and said, "Master, Boss Sai from Bazhenfang has come and said he wants to apologize to you."

The corner of Cao Bin's mouth twitched into a smug smile and said, "The proprietress finally took the bait."

With that said, he was going to meet Sai Xishi.

Seeing this, Li Yun immediately became interested, and quickly asked: "Is it Sai Xishi who is a very good cook? Uncle wants to take her into the house?"

Without waiting for Cao Bin to answer, she continued:

"Based on my experience, it's best for Uncle to hang her up first. When her emotions reach the limit, it's the perfect time for Uncle to take advantage of it."

Cao Bin hesitated and said, "Isn't that good? Wouldn't I become a scumbag who plays tricks?"

Du Shiniang rolled her eyes and said, "Cao Yun had no good intentions!"

As she spoke, she waved to the branch and said, "Blue Bird, come here."

A bird in the shape of a blue luan flew towards her and rubbed her neck affectionately.

Du Shiniang gently stroked the blue bird's head and complained: "I thought the blue bird was the legendary divine bird? I was tricked into the hub by Cao Yun!"

After speaking, she couldn't help laughing herself.

Sai Xishi looked at the Zhongjinghou's mansion with the closed gate lonely, feeling rather melancholy.

"Second son, let's go!"

After speaking, he turned and left.

Seeing this, the buddy quickly picked up the gift, and followed quickly. He looked like a god and said:

"How about it, madam? Do you regret it now?"

"I've already said, Uncle Cao is not that kind of person!"

"Now you have not only wronged others, but also offended a big backer!"

"In the future, it will be difficult for us!"

Sai Xishi thought of Cao Bin's back when he left again, hesitated and asked:

"Tell me, is he very sad?"

The guy nodded as a matter of course and said:

"Of course, if I were Uncle Cao, not only would I be sad, I'd be disheartened now."

"He not only saved you, but also helped us so much."

"I don't even hesitate to condescend to take you as my friend."

"Have you ever treated a friend like this? The result is not as good as Master Yan!"

"That's all right now, I'm gone behind closed doors, I'm afraid Brother B will blame you..."

Sai Xishi gritted his teeth and made up his mind:

"Then let's apologize every day until he is willing to forgive..."

However, Cao Bin couldn't wait for her apology, because he received a letter from Shandong that night.

"The time has come! Go ask the Kaifeng Mansion to find out when Bao Zheng will leave, and check the food supervision matters!"

When he returned to Beijing years ago, Cao Bin actually prepared two plans.

If the Shandong matter did not attract the attention of the court, he would take a more relaxed approach.

At most, he would pit the gentry and officials in Shandong, just pick himself out, and he didn't intend to fight to the death, and he didn't have that much power.

But this possibility is just his imagination, and it is almost impossible to become a reality.

Sure enough, the imperial court sent Bao Heizi out of Beijing, but he had three imperial guillotines in his hand.

Kill first and play later, the imperial power licenses, see gods and gods, meet ghosts and ghosts.

Even the relatives of the emperor had to take a detour when they saw him, who could afford it?

In this way, Cao Bin can only say sorry to his former "partners"!

After all, if you die as a fellow Taoist, you will never die as a poor Taoist!

This time, Cao Bin intends to be a "traitor" for real!

"Report to young master, Mr. Bao left Beijing three days ago."
