[Bao Qingtian] Why is peace?

The master Bao Mianxin invited was named Xin. Master Xin was a failed scholar. He was upright but tactful. Many difficult cases were gradually cleared up under his hands, and it was easy to see who was right and who was wrong.

Since Bao Mian adopted Master Xin's advice to deal with official affairs, he found that the common people scolded him less and less. I couldn't be happier, and gradually fell in love with this feeling of "serving the people".

As Bao Mian's unjust, false and wrongly decided cases were gradually restored, in contrast, the conflict between him and his second wife Yanniang was increasing day by day.

Without Wu Jia and Wu Wanwan, the cash cows, Yanniang's money is getting tighter and tighter. Her rouge, gouache, clothes and jewelry all cost money, but Bao Mian is no longer willing to listen to her pillow talk, and insists on making up her mind to do something Good official, Yanniang is very angry.

After much deliberation, she thought that to untie the bell, the person who tied it had to be tied, and planned to attack Master Xin. Even if Master Xin was not greedy for money, she could still seduce him with her beauty and make him the second Wen Ruoyu.

It's a pity that Master Xin's thoughts are very righteous and he is not deceived at all. He even threatened Yanniang that if she persisted in her obsession, she would be arrested for adultery.

Yanniang panicked a little, but she still didn't intend to let Master Xin go, and designed to make Bao Mian think that Master Xin was going to belittle her, and wanted to take the opportunity to drive Master Xin away.

However, Bao Mian is not stupid yet, and it is the time when he is relying heavily on Master Xin, even if he has a little lump in his heart, it is not enough to drive him away.He even persuaded Yanniang in turn: "This mansion is full of your staff. If Mr. Xin really wants to belittle you, you call someone over, and he will not dare to attack you. If it doesn't work, you can still hide in the Room, close the door!"

Yan Niang: "..."

What she taught Bao Mian in the past was used by Bao Mian again, and only Yanniang herself can understand the feeling.

At the beginning, she received Wu Wanwan's silver to exonerate Wu Jia, and taught Bao Mian to say a lot of seemingly reasonable but illogical words. She never thought that one day these words would be returned to her by Bao Mian. .

It was only then that Yanniang discovered that Master Xin was a hard bone, and she couldn't chew it even if she wanted to.

Her concubine Wen Ruoyu was arrested, and Bao Mian leaned towards the old lady again, because Master Xin was invited back by the old lady.Yanniang's position in the family has become unstable, and Bao Mian's wife, Huiniang, took the opportunity to take back the power of housekeeper, which made Yanniang feel more crisis.

After thinking about it, she finally made up her mind to run away.

Yan Niang packed up her things, took advantage of Bao Mian to spend the night at the wife's house, rented a carriage overnight and left Laiyang County without taking a single servant away, avoiding everyone's eyes and ears.

It wasn't until the next day, when Bao Mian came out of Hui Niang's room, intending to appease Yan Niang, that he realized that Yan Niang's house was empty.

It happened that at this time, Bao Zheng arrived in Laiyang County, and had an unpleasant reminiscence conversation with Mrs. Bao.

"That Yanniang is also an important witness. If we can get her to testify, the Zihe car case may turn around." Master Bao sighed.

"I don't think so." Bai Yutang said without any scruples, even in front of Bao Zheng, he was very straightforward, "Getting her back may prove Bao Mian's innocence, but it may also further frame him. What's more Yanniang just ran away because she couldn't stay in Bao's house, how could she willingly testify for Bao Mian?"

In fact, Mr. Bao didn't hold out any hope, but it was better to give it a try than nothing.

"Please, Young Master Bai, for making this trip. This government owes you a favor." Bao Zheng bowed deeply, he didn't talk about the common people, being fair and reasonable, because he knew that the young man in front of him didn't like to hear such words, He pays attention to doing things as he pleases, and it is better to be sincere than to say some beautiful scenes.

What's more, this favor can always be used, and it is estimated that the young master will come in handy once he gets into trouble.

Bai Yutang is different from Zhan Zhao, he has a bit of a bad temper, you have to follow him, make him happy, he can become an invincible blade - Gongsun Ce once said so to Bao Zheng.The two observed Bai Yutang together for a period of time, and both believed that after Zhan Zhao was transferred to the palace, Bai Yutang would be the best candidate to succeed him.

It's just that I still need to sharpen my temper, and the appearance of Xiao Houye is just in time.

Hearing this, Bai Yutang did as expected, riding a fast horse and gave chase. After three days of continuous pursuit, he finally found Yanniang dressed as a village woman in a village.

To say that this Yanniang is also very smart, she is a single woman with so much money, and she is quite pretty, it is definitely not safe to go on the road alone.After leaving Laiyang County, she dismissed the coachman, put on coarse clothes, and smeared a thick layer of mud on her face, turning into an ordinary rough woman.

If it weren't for Bai Yutang's good eyesight, and he could see the traces of her subconsciously twisting her buttocks from her deliberately disguised walking posture, he might have missed the opportunity to catch her.

After all, it is a person who has been trained in the wind and dust, and some unconscious habits are difficult to change.

Yan Niang was brought back in disgrace, and just after she was released from prison, she said that she would testify against Bao Mian as the mastermind behind the Zihe Che case.

This made Bao Mian very angry, and the old lady beat the floor with her wooden stick again and again: "Look at the person you like! In times of crisis, he left you behind and ran away, and even bit you back! Back then I just said that this kind of vicious woman is not good, you almost divorced Hui Niang because of her, are you still not enlightened now?!"

Bao Mian didn't listen to what his old mother said, and stumbled to the prison, questioning Yanniang with a hurt expression: "Yanniang, I treat you well, how can you frame me with others!"

"You treat me well?" Yanniang said with a sarcasm, "I have been with you since I was [-] years old. You are old and ugly, and you are also very useless. You have to rely on small pills to regain your strength when you go to bed. People do it four or five times a night, but you can do it once a night, it’s called treating me well? My rouge, gouache, jewelry and clothes, my house and servants, and those precious medicinal materials that your old lady uses to make up her body, which one? I didn't buy it with the money I got by myself. I can do it with your little salary? Bao Mian, I got everything I have today by myself. I don't owe you anything, but your Bao family owes me a lot! I It’s because you were arrested, I’d feel sorry for myself if I didn’t hold you back!”

"You...you have to think clearly..." Bao Mian looked at her eyes that had become very strange. He felt sad, but also a little afraid of Yan Niang who had put aside life and death, and tremblingly advised her, "Zuo, Zuo False testimony is a slap in the face..."

"Do you have any evidence to prove that I'm lying?" Yan Niang sneered, "You don't have any evidence, but Mr. Wen has a lot of things to do with you. At least we had a good time. Compared to you, I prefer younger Wen." Master, why not help him with this favor?"

Hearing the words of the woman whom he once held in his palm, Bao Mian was so angry that he rolled his eyes and passed out.
