Kaifeng House Small Dining Table

Mrs. Zheng was silent for a moment, then raised her voice, "Qing'er!"

"Don't go." When Pang Yanqing repeated it for the second time, his voice became deeper, and then he coughed violently.

Mrs. Zheng hurriedly patted Pang Yanqing on the back and asked someone to bring cough pills. "Okay, if you don't go, you won't go. You haven't coughed since you took the old doctor Naluo's medicine. I can see that your complexion is getting better every day. I'm afraid that you will be delayed because of this trouble again." Take care of your body."

"Don't worry, mother, I've figured it out. Since it's not mine, why force it. But the body is my own, and I will take care of it myself." Pang Yanqing smiled at Zheng Shi, and said that he was tired. After greeting Zheng Shi, Just leave and go to rest.

Mrs. Zheng couldn't understand her son any better, so she said this just because she was afraid that she would worry and perfunctory her.Zheng looked at Pang Yan's back, knowing how uncomfortable he was, and his heart began to ache.Mrs. Zheng kept watching Pang Yanqing leave before calling Wangchen and ordering him to take extra care of Pang Yanqing these days.

"Every frown, smile, and sigh, you have to tell me. If he does something wrong, you can't live." Zheng's voice was very soft, because she was afraid that her words would be heard by her son who had just left.

Wang Chen hurriedly agreed and promised Zheng.He would swear to the death to protect Pang Yanqing comprehensively, if something went wrong, he would not feel like living.

"It doesn't matter whether you live or not, but he must live for me!" Zheng Shi scolded Wangchen, and waved him away.Then she suddenly remembered something and called Wang Chen to stop.

"When did you enter the mansion?"

"Go back to madam, six years ago."

Zheng frowned.

"Before this, I was still training in the other garden outside the city for four years." Wang Chen explained.

Zheng frowned, looked up at Wang Chen, with a smile on his face, "Yes, I almost forgot about this. It's fine, it's fine, you can go back."

Wang Chen agreed, and made another salute with Zheng Shi before retreating.

Zheng walked out of the Yanhuo Pavilion with a normal face, and immediately turned cold, and ordered to go down and keep a close eye on Wangchen.She can send away all the people who entered the mansion within six years, but Wang Chen is the only one who is highly valued by his third son. Usually in the Yanhuo Pavilion, most of them are served by Wang Chen alone.Now Yan Qing's mood is at a low ebb again, he proves that he has no way to move Wangchen, he is afraid that if he has used one trick, he will lose his only remaining precious son.

……

Taishi Pang, Zhao Hanyan, and Bai Yutang returned to Kaifeng Mansion together to discuss the current case.

Taishi Pang wanted to confront Qu Rongfa, but he was very surprised when he heard that Qu Rongfa was lost during the "allocation" process.

"You knew there was something wrong with my case, but you didn't take good care of him?"

"At that time, it was unavoidable, and everything was done very seriously. After Qu Rongfa was sentenced to be assigned, he had to be transferred to the Criminal Ministry to be responsible for the escort. At that time, the situation was limited, and no one in Kaifeng Mansion would listen to what he said. There is no time for people to prepare for the decision. What's more, it is very likely that the bandits and the escorts of the Ministry of Criminal Justice are cooperating internally and externally, and it is even more impossible to prevent it." Bao Zheng explained to Grand Master Pang.

Grand Master Pang frowned fiercely, "Qu Rongfa is the key to this case, and now he is probably dead already, so there is nothing to hope for."

"If a person is alive, he will only lead us to suspect Song Tingkong, and there can be no evidence pointing to him. Song Tingkong will never leave evidence and handles for him.

At that time, Qu Rongfa was on the verge of death, as long as someone gave him a straw to survive, he would definitely hold on to it tightly.I guess Song Tingkong took advantage of the interrogation of Qu Rongfa alone to remind him that if he confessed to a bigger mastermind, he might survive.It is very possible to use some cryptic hints, add a little guidance, without straightforward expressions, to make Qu Rong feel his own feelings.It's low-stakes solicitation, and it's really worth a try.Moreover, the two of them knew that there was no third person to prove it. In addition, Qu Rongfa had already bitten Grand Master Pang once. "Zhao Hanyan pondered.

Taishi Pang frowned, looked at Zhao Hanyan with a deep sense of inquiry, and asked her directly who she was.

Bao Zheng hurriedly explained to Zhao Hanyan, telling Grand Master Pang that Zhao Hanyan had a lot of experience at a young age, "Her experience is a bit complicated, and I can't explain it clearly for a while, but I guarantee it with my personality, and others are reliable. I should hurry up and get rid of this matter now." The case is clear, and Song Tingkong will be convicted."

Taishi Pang glanced at Zhao Hanyan again, nodded after deliberating for a moment, and asked Bao Zheng how to investigate next.

"Judge Shi retried. He lied about the testimony just now. He said he didn't know who instigated him. But when he encountered urgent matters, he chose to pass the news in the stable of Kaifeng Mansion. There are two outsiders staying inside, Song Tingkong and Yan Shu." Gongsun Ce suggested, "The students feel that Judge Shi didn't tell all the truth."

Bao Zheng nodded, indicating that he had noticed it too.

Grand Master Pang didn't hear what happened to Zhao Zhen's trial just now, so he sat down and listened to them.Taishi Pang believed in the judgment and case handling ability of Bao Zheng and Kaifeng Fu and others.

Bao Zheng asked Zhao Hanyan what he thought.

"It can be interrogated, but I'm afraid he won't be able to say anything." Zhao Hanyan sighed, "When he confessed just now, he was acting in a play. Facing the Holy One, he can only say those words. I'm afraid he won't say anything more to us. too much."

"Could it be that you knew Judge Shi was lying?" Bai Yutang looked at Zhao Hanyan in surprise.

Zhao Hanyan nodded, "Judge Shi's testimony was half-true and false, making it sound like it was true. Fortunately, he noticed the stable later, otherwise we would have been fooled by his initial testimony."

At present, Judge Shi was brought up and tried again.When asked about the stables, Judge Shi still explained that his idea at the time was to start the search from the stables, so that the entire Kaifeng mansion could be searched without omission.

"My lord, my subordinates really have nothing to do with Lord Song and Lord Yan. My subordinates have a low life. If they die, they will die. The two lords are the pillars of the country. You must not die unjustly. It is really the loss of Great Song!" Judge Shi Kowtow to Bao Zheng and beg.

"You can't save your own life, and you still have the mood to think about the loss of Da Song. It's very interesting to intercede for the two adults." Bai Yutang couldn't help but sneered, then squatted down, and looked at Judge Shi. Love to hear stories of chivalry and righteousness, just for this day? While committing crimes and talking about it for the Song Dynasty?"

"Although I made a big mistake because I was greedy for power, I still have the heart to serve the country. Now that I have done so many things wrong, I can't make more mistakes, causing people as powerful as Mr. Song to be implicated because of me. Otherwise, I will be tried before the King of Hades after my death, and I will be even more guilty." Judge Shi kowtowed, showing a sincere repentance.

"He likes to listen to the world's affairs?" Zhao Hanyan asked Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang agreed and told Zhao Hanyan that when he first came to Kaifeng Mansion, Judge Shi liked to come and ask him about the chivalry of the Jianghu people.So when Bai Yutang first knew that Judge Shi had a problem, he really couldn't believe that he would commit crimes and harm others in order to seek promotion.

"If you are only greedy for power, you won't care about the Song Dynasty, and you will wholeheartedly protect the person who made you into such a situation. Your loyalty probably stems from the belief you have always held in your heart. Are you in this officialdom? You want to act chivalrously like a knight in the rivers and lakes, and you want to get rid of the villain. Grand Master Pang is a villain, but Master Bao is also a villain in your eyes?"

Judge Shi bowed his head and remained silent for a while.When he made a sound again, he laughed, calling Zhao Hanyan stupid and making random guesses.

"Do you really think that you are very powerful, that you can see through people's hearts? I have never believed your nonsense, and now I hear you say me, and I am more sure of this. You are just making up random guesses and getting lucky. What do you say? I, what I say, I am already a person who is going to die anyway. But if you speak nonsense and cause a loyal minister to die unjustly, and cause Mr. Bao to investigate the case in the wrong direction, you should be a sinner just like me !"

"If you sincerely feel that you are guilty, how can you be as plausible as you are now? It sounds very reasonable. You made the right choice, and it is a stupid decision for us to interrogate you." Zhao Hanyan looked into Judge Shi's eyes, "What do you say?" For the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, you can't even do the simplest point of "don't deceive the emperor", and you have the nerve to warn us with nonsense. If you really regard the emperor as the monarch you are loyal to, you should trust his ability and judgment, and tell all the truth Tell him, ask the Holy Majesty to judge wisely. Or is it that the Holy Majesty is actually a foolish king in your eyes, and you are loyal to another person and plan to rebel?"

"Captain Zhao, don't spit blood! I never had any intention of treason!" Judge Shi was in a hurry, his face flushed.

Bao Zheng patted the gavel, accusing Judge Shi of being false and submissive in his testimony, contradictory, obviously having two minds, so that he dared to lie and make up in front of the Holy Majesty.

"Disrupting the law, framing the imperial court officials, intending to shake the court to change the master of the Song Dynasty, let your master replace him. This is not what a traitor is, you are not even worthy of the title of a treacherous man." Grand Master Pang interjected.

Judge Shi pounded the ground with both fists, "I don't! I'm not a traitor! The Holy One is wise, but he has lived in the palace for a long time, and he is easily blinded by the treacherous people around him. You two are the treacherous ones, so I have to deal with them quickly." .”

"Since Mr. Bao is a traitor in your eyes, and you plan to get rid of it, why don't you just prescribe medicine, after all, you have always had a chance by his side?" Zhao Hanyan asked immediately.

"If he was killed just like that, the world would still think of him as the upright Lord Bao, what is his sinister aspect?"

Zhao Hanyan: "So you helped to frame Grand Master Pang's matter, framed Mr. Bao? It seems that you are the one who is acting dishonestly, not Mr. Bao."

Judge Shi glared at Zhao Hanyan: "He may not have done this, but he is not wronged at all. I have seen with my own eyes that Mr. Bao's life guards carelessly disregarded human life. He should die at that time. I hate his high status. He cannot be punished with my testimony alone. I waited all these years for today."

"My life guards disregard human lives?" Bao Zheng frowned, looking at Zhan Zhao in puzzlement.Zhan Zhao was also very puzzled, and asked Judge Shi when it happened.

Judge Shi: "On the third day of the first lunar month four years ago, it was just outside the gate of the Kaifeng mansion. A woman came to the mansion late at night to sue Mr. Bao's nephew for insulting her. At the back door of the government office, he saw the guard Zhan twisting the woman's neck. Mr. Bao stood at the door, and afterward he muttered to the guard Zhan. The corpse rode away. I wanted to chase after him, but I couldn't escape the guards.

Afterwards, I looked into the matter again, but there was no clue at all, and I tried Zhanwei several times, but there was no chance.Mr. Bao is the highest official in Kaifeng Mansion, it is impossible for me to sue him here, so I later reported this matter to Song Shangshu.Shangshu asked the yamen who found that night to testify, but by coincidence, the yamen kowtowed to death on the stone steps the night before.There is no body, and there is not a single witness except my witness. Mr. Song said that this case cannot be judged, so I will bear it in Kaifeng Mansion for the time being. If Mr. Bao commits another crime, I will find another opportunity to get evidence. "

After Judge Shi finished speaking, everyone looked at him in disbelief.Judge Shi smiled bitterly with tears in his eyes: "Look, that's it. I have already guessed what the result will be after I say these words. I am not a subordinate of any lord. I just don't like Master Bao's actions, so I just want to take this opportunity to get rid of him as a villain. Taishi Pang's case is an opportunity. Although Mr. Bao has been "wronged", compared with his murder, it is not an "injustice" at all. I want the world to know that he is nothing at all. Let him die if he is just and honest in disputes with upright officials! He must not be taken advantage of!"

After Judge Shi finished speaking, he glared at Bao Zheng with red eyes, exuding an unprecedented hostility all over his body.

"You're making up stories again. Your words are already very familiar. It seems to be similar to what I said to Mr. Yan before. It's just a different person and a different story, but the soup does not change the medicine. I'm lying and framing." Zhan Zhao was so angry that he secretly clenched his fists, one of the things he couldn't stand the most was someone framing Master Bao.

"This story seems to be true, so you got in touch with Song Shangshu just because you witnessed Lord Bao and the Zhan guards killing each other?"

Zhao Hanyan's questioning attracted the attention of everyone present.

Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang and others looked very surprised, while Grand Master Pang looked like he was watching the excitement.Hearing about Bao Zheng's murder was something new to him.
