Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng

Looking at Gongsun Ce's puzzled expression, Bao Zheng only had a faint smile in his eyes, and he pulled Gongsun Ce out of the thatched hut. Outside the thatched hut, the two old men were huddled in a corner and trembling, while Zhan Zhao was holding a sword. , staring at the two old men warily.

The moment Gongsun Ce saw these two old men, he suddenly realized something. Could it be the two old men in front of him who wanted to kill them?

But, since he wanted to kill them, why did he go to such lengths to lure them to this place?Let them find this county magistrate Lin?Gongsun Ce looked thoughtfully at the two frightened old men.

Bao Zheng walked up to the two shivering old men, put his hands behind his back, and smiled calmly, "The two old men have worked hard, and the old man has worked hard to keep Mrs. Lin alive."

The old man looked at Bao Zheng and said, "Hey, what is this Mr. Bao talking about... We, of course we want to save Mr. Lin... Mr. Lin is a good person... You, why are you... ..."

A cold light flashed across Bao Zheng's eyes, and he said with a half-smile, "It's also... If you don't save Mr. Lin, how do you know where the evidence of Pang Tong's and Pang's family's crimes are kept? Or, Duanyan's corruption account book?"

As soon as Bao Zheng said this, Gongsun Ce's eyes lit up, yes, this is it!The old man and the others lured them here to wake up Lord Lin Jin!For, it should be Pang Tong Pang Taishi's criminal evidence!But wait, incriminating evidence?What criminal evidence does Pang Tong and Pang Taishi have that a small county magistrate can grasp?

As soon as Bao Zheng's words fell, the two trembling old men froze. Immediately, one of the old men laughed strangely, and when the old man laughed strangely, Zhan Zhao shook his sword. , the fierce sword energy pointed directly at the old man who smiled strangely.

But the old man didn't seem to care about the sharp sword energy in front of him. The old man stood up slowly, and the old woman beside him also stood up with a strange smile. The old man looked at Bao Zheng and smiled, "I see The title of the most intelligent person in Luzhou is not true."

Bao Zheng still had a half-smile, "The title is just something external to you, old man, why should you care?"

"No, no, no... What I mean is, you shouldn't be called the most intelligent person in Luzhou, you should be called the most intelligent person in the world." The old man said with a strange smile.

When Gongsun Ce heard this, he smiled to himself, that's right, Bao Zheng is the smartest person in the world!This old man is quite discerning.

Gongsun Ce thought proudly.

Bao Zheng stared at the old man with deep eyes, "Old man, dare to ask your name?"

"Hey, Bao Zheng, you're so smart, why don't you guess it?" The old woman on the side spoke with a gloomy voice.

Gongsun Ce looked at the old woman indiscriminately. There was a chilling gloom in his gloomy and cloudy eyes, and there was hatred in this gloom!

"People who have enemies with Grand Master Pang Ji and Flying Star General Pang Tong." Bao Zheng said, squinting his eyes slightly, "But no matter whether Pang Tong or Grand Master Pang, they have many enemies. Bao Zheng is not good enough. Taishi Pang doesn't know much, so he can't speculate on the identities of the two, of course, I don't think the two old people will tell me."

The old man nodded appreciatively, "Bao Zheng, old man, I appreciate you more and more."

"That's Bao Zheng's honor." Bao Zheng said a little humbly.

"Hmph! Grand Master Pang is powerful, vicious, and ambitious! Bao Zheng, I will give you a chance to deal with Grand Master Pang with us!" The old woman said gloomyly, looking at Bao Zheng with admiration and complacency. Determination.

Gongsun Ce frowned slightly, took a step forward, and stood by Bao Zheng's side. At this moment, no one knew better than him what Bao Zheng would choose.

"Bao Zheng thanked the old man for his great love, but if Grand Master Pang or Pang Tong really violated the laws of the Song Dynasty, then he should act according to the law, punish the innocent in private, and even drag the innocent, this is not what Bao Zheng wants!" Bao Zheng said, cupping his hands, The tone was neither salty nor weak, but it was cold and firm.

The old woman's face became more and more gloomy, and she stared at Bao Zheng with stern eyes, but the old man shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity, a pity, Bao Zheng, I have seen countless people in my life, and there are only a few people in the world who can fall into my eyes." , you are one of them, I really don’t want to kill you.”

At this time, Zhan Zhao snorted coldly, "Hmph, if you want to kill Big Brother Bao, it depends on whether you have the ability!"

"Hehe... the baby is young, so the tone is not small." The old man smiled strangely, and before the words fell, the old man suddenly launched an attack. Zhan Zhao had been on guard all along. The old man just raised his hand, and Zhan Zhao The sword in his hand immediately rushed forward, and at the same time, Bao Zheng had pulled Gongsun Ce back quickly!

Gongsun Ce glanced at the hut behind him, Bai Yutang had jumped out of the hut, raised his sword and joined the battle!

Gongsun Ce looked at the old man and the old woman, and frowned tightly. At this time, Zhan Zhao is not the famous Nan Xia Zhan Zhao who will shake the world!Bai Yutang wasn't a Chinchilla either, so with just these two little bastards, he probably couldn't stop these two vicious people.

"Bao Zheng, what should we do?" Gongsun Ce asked in a low voice to the person beside him who had been holding his hand tightly and blocking him.A flash of helplessness flashed in my heart, Bao Zheng is also a scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken, why did he stand in front of him?

"There is another Pang Tong, don't be afraid." Bao Zheng replied in a low voice, then frowned, but if Pang Tong came, Mrs. Lin and Lin Jin would be controlled by Pang Tong.

Bao Zheng glanced at the thatched hut behind him, and dragged Gongsun Ce into the thatched hut quickly. Gongsun Ce was still confused about why Pang Tong came, and how could Pang Tong find this place so secret?He was dragged into the thatched cottage by Bao Zheng.

In the thatched hut, Mrs. Lin was still sitting quietly on the thatched pile. When she saw Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce coming in, she raised her eyes to look at them with a very calm expression, without any panic or anxiety.

"Madam can hold her breath." Bao Zheng said with a light smile.

"Lord Bao is calm enough." Mrs. Lin replied softly.

"Madam, where is the criminal evidence?" Bao Zheng asked bluntly, without beating around the bush or analyzing and reasoning.This made Gongsun Ce a little surprised, thinking to himself, it seems that time is very tight, and Pang Tong is about to appear?

——However, under such circumstances, Gongsun Ce didn't think Mrs. Lin would say anything.

If there are really criminal evidences, presenting the criminal evidence means making an enemy of Pang Taishi Pang Tong. Thinking about Pang Taishi's power over the government, how can one or two criminal evidences be able to overthrow it?How much did Grand Master Pang experience in the last life?Kaifeng Mansion and Grand Master Pang have fought so many times, but Grand Master Pang is safe and sound in the end?In the end, Grand Master Pang committed suicide inexplicably!In the end, Pang Tong started to fight against them in Kaifeng Mansion, and until he was reborn, Pang Tong was still fine.

So...the Pang clan is really not that easy to bring down.

And what puzzled him the most was that because of his rebirth, some things were indeed different, but, this Duanzhou, this Qinghe County, did this happen in the previous life?Gongsun Ce frowned. At this time in his previous life, he was in a coma for more than half a month because of the case of Qianli Lake, and then... returned to Luzhou. Regarding the matter of Qinghe County in Duanzhou, he is not an official of the imperial court. There really is, and it is impossible to know.

Madam Lin said quietly at this time, "Master Bao, I don't know any evidence of crime."

Bao Zheng frowned and looked at Mrs. Lin, "The matter is of great importance. Since Mrs. Lin has the heart, why can't she show her sincerity?"

At this time, Mrs. Lin just lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Bao Zheng wanted to say more, but Gongsun Ce gently pulled Bao Zheng's sleeve, signaling Bao Zheng not to say any more.

Bao Zheng looked at Gongsun Ce, Gongsun Ce shook his head, and said in a low voice, "Madam must be in trouble, we don't need to ask anymore, let's save Qinghe County first."

Bao Zheng listened, pondered for a while, and nodded slightly. At this moment, a loud laugh came from outside, "I, Pang Tong, are here!"

——Pang Tong really came!

*******

At this time, on a certain official road from Kyoto to the border.

The team of the mission to Liao Dynasty was slowly advancing towards the border. In the large carriage protected by the guards, a middle-aged man in a wide-sleeved robe had a straight face, his eyes were dark and gloomy, and he was staring intently at the note in his hand. After staring at the note for a long time, the man slowly clenched his hands into fists, and muttered in a low voice, "Trash... let the prince enter Qinghe County..."

"A Chong!" Pang Ji suddenly raised his voice, his low and hoarse voice was filled with suppressed anger.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and outside the carriage, a man knelt in front of the carriage, bowed his hands respectfully, "This subordinate is here!"

"Get ready, you and I will head to Qinghe!"

The man raised his head in surprise. As the head of the guard of the mission and the head of the secret guard of the Pang Mansion, Pang Chong should object at this time. After all, they traveled day and night to reach the border as soon as possible, but at this time, they had to return to Qinghe county--

Qinghe County is a place of right and wrong at this time!How many pairs of eyes are staring in the dark, the grand master is rushing to Qinghe at this time, if he is not careful, he will fall into the mouth, and even fall into the trick of the master messenger behind this!

However, Pang Chong couldn't say anything!This matter must have involved the Eighth Prince, otherwise, the Grand Master would not rush to Qinghe County.

Thinking of the eldest son Pang Tong who has been trapped in Qinghe for many days, he couldn't let the grand master raise his eyebrows... Pang Chong smiled bitterly in his heart. Fortunately, the eldest son already knew about it, otherwise he would definitely feel upset.

Pang Chong respectfully accepted the order, and immediately went down to prepare.

While Pang Ji was sitting in the carriage, his fingers couldn't bear the impatience in his heart, and subconsciously knocked on the small square table in the carriage, annoyed that the Eight Sage King Zhao Defang didn't listen to him and rushed to Qinghe County, Although she knew in her heart that Defang went to Qinghe County for her own sake and for the sake of Da Song, and wanted to calm things down, but... since even the border can be used to set up bureaus, regardless of the safety of Da Song's border, how can those people still care about Baba? The face of the virtuous king?Even... the Eight Sage Kings had saved their lives back then!

Thinking of this, Pang Ji frowned even deeper, wishing he could fly to Qinghe County immediately!See with your own eyes if that person is okay?

*******

At this time, Zhao Defang, the eight sage king who was missed by others, was pacing in a clean and tidy wing.

He was arrested and locked in this wing room. Looking at the cleanliness of this wing room, it seems that the other party respected him, but Wei Lan Xun Hong and those hidden guards escaped without knowing it. No?

The Eighth Sage King sat down on the chair, although he was restless in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on his face. Since he chose to come here, he had already forgotten about life and death.

Eighth Sage King quietly looked at the tightly closed door, but he wanted to see what the person he let go on purpose look like now after 18 years.He even dared to use the border to set up a trap. Could it be that what he let go was just such a person who only cared about his personal hatred and disregarded the common people? !

At this moment, the closed door was finally slowly pushed open.

The Eighth Sage King narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the brocade-robed young man who walked in slowly. His face was handsome, and his body also carried a bit of dignity. Looking closely, he was indeed somewhat similar to the current Holy Majesty.

But the Eight Sage Kings sneered, they were just similar!

"You are not the son of Concubine Li!" Eight Sage King said coldly.

The young man was startled, and then seemed a little confused, "What is the eighth emperor talking about? Why am I not a prince?"

The Eighth Sage King sneered, and said indifferently, "Because Concubine Li will not raise the son she finally rescued into such a wolfish and ambitious man who only has desire, desire and interests in his eyes! Concubine Li, just She will take her son with her and hide her name and live among the people! You are not the son of Concubine Li!"

The young man took a deep look at the Eight Sage Kings, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "People say that Zhao Defang has the reputation of being a virtuous person. Seeing him now, it's really good! But... I think, I have to add the Merry Son." I know so much about the late emperor's concubines...hehe...no wonder there were rumors about the eight virtuous kings and the concubine Li in the palace back then!" After the young man finished speaking, he began to laugh, with a veiled smile ambiguous.

The Eighth Sage King had a calm expression on his face, he didn't even look at the young man, there was indifference and inadvertent elegance emanating from his eyes, even after he took a sip from the teacup, he lowered his eyes slightly, No more words.

Seeing this, the smile on the young man's face stagnated immediately.

The Eight Sage King's actions completely ignored him!Moreover, the inadvertent grace and elegance, as well as a touch of majesty that the Eight Wise Kings showed in their gestures, all told him silently—dragon begets dragon, phoenix begets phoenix!And he is just a mouse that can make holes that he picked up from no one knows where!He, the Eight Wise Kings, didn't even bother to talk to him!

As a result, the elegance that the young man deliberately showed disappeared immediately, and the smile on his face became distorted. He smiled strangely, "Uncle Eighth Emperor...Although I am not the son of Concubine Li, you have never thought of me. Why is it so similar to the current Holy One?"

The Eighth Sage King glanced at him indifferently, and said in a neutral tone, "Tell me, who are you?"

The young man smiled, although the smile was no longer so distorted, but the sinister aura on his body was fully exposed. Seeing this, the Eight Sage Kings felt relieved.

——This is nothing more than a young man who is difficult to become a master. Although the matter involves the forbidden news in the palace, it may cause many troubles, but it is not an unsolvable situation!

In this way, with Pang Ji on the frontier, Bao Zheng on Duanzhou, the prime minister and the emperor in the court, then there is no need to worry.
