Bao Gong and Chenzhou finished the relief, thinking of going back to Beijing to defend himself, he couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

Mr. Bao has always been upright and upright, but he is not a man of the world, he just disdains it.Most officials of the imperial court, including Duke Bao himself, were students of Taishi Pang.Grand Master Pang is also known as a protector, now that his only son, An Lehou, has been executed, Grand Master Pang is afraid that he will not let it go.

There is a favored concubine Pang in the harem of the Pang family, and there is a grand master Pang who is a protégé in the previous dynasty. I am afraid that it will not be so easy to defend himself.

Bao Zheng sat in the sedan chair, secretly thinking about how to deal with Grand Master Pang's difficulties after returning to Beijing.Passing the Caozhou Bridge, the official sedan chair creaked and nearly broke its poles, causing it to fall out of the sedan chair.

Because the imperial decree ordered him to return to Beijing immediately, Mr. Bao did not dare to delay casually and had to abandon the sedan chair and ride a horse.Unexpectedly, there was an accident when I got on the horse.With the help of the guards, he finally climbed onto the horse's back, but the horse refused to move forward no matter what.

Seeing this, Gongsun Ce expressed uneasiness: "My lord, this matter is different! I'm afraid they want to keep us here overnight!"

Mr. Bao also felt that something was wrong, his horse had followed him for many years.This old horse is quite spiritual, and there are three things not to leave: don't leave when you encounter bad people, don't leave when you see wronged people, and don't leave when there are assassins.

After experiencing the case of the white fox repaying his favor and the Wupen case, although Mr. Bao does not fully believe in these ghosts and gods, he also knows that ghosts and gods must be believed.

After pondering for a moment, Bao Zheng said: "Could it be that there is really some grievance here?"

Thinking that there might be a big grievance here waiting to be investigated by himself, Mr. Bao also put aside the matter of returning to Beijing to defend himself for a while, and sent Bao Xing to ask Fan Zonghua, who was here, and decided to stay at Caozhou Bridge for a while. On the same day, the announcement was made in Tianqi Temple.

You might as well ask Fan Zonghua to help spread the news of Mr. Bao's Tianqi Temple release. When you go home, there is a blind old lady at home who wants to file a lawsuit.

Fan Zonghua actually didn't know the origin of this blind old lady.It's just that many years ago, before his father passed away, he told Fan Zonghua to treat him kindly.Fan Zonghua is a dutiful son. His father passed away many years ago, and he has always treated this blind old woman as a half-mother.

Now that the blind old woman wanted to complain to Bao Qingtian, Fan Zonghua sent the old lady to Tianqi Temple even though she was confused.

Therefore, the future of Chaotang's self-defense is still uncertain, and he stayed in Tianqi Temple for one night, and Master Bao brought himself into a big trouble again.Once this trouble is solved, it will be a catastrophe.

As he was about to arrive at the capital, Mr. Bao sent someone to go ahead and send a letter to Madam Bao, Mrs. Li.Tell the truth and bring back the blind old woman brought back by Caozhou Bridge as her mother.

Mrs. Bao Mrs. Li has always been virtuous, received a letter from Mr. Bao, immediately cleaned the house, and personally took the blind woman back to the house.Mr. Bao washed up a little, and hurried to the palace to meet the emperor.One is to make an order for the investigation and relief, and the other is to defend yourself to the king.

Hearing that Bao Zheng had killed An Lehou just now, Concubine Pang Guifei and Grand Master Pang came to cry and complain, the emperor was extremely angry.It's just that after Bao Zheng returned all the way and delayed these days, the emperor gradually calmed down.Also, Prime Minister Wang advised him that the Son of Heaven had no intention of questioning Bao Zheng.

Nanxia Zhanzhao even heard that Mr. Bao might be questioned, and discussed with Mr. Lin Feng, who was sentenced by Chen Zhou.In the end, Master Lin Feng wrote the memorial, and attached a letter from the people of Chenzhou thanking the emperor for his good governance, Zhan Zhao sent it back to Beijing.

Zhan Zhao was worried that Bao Gong'an was in a hurry, so he went to Beijing first.Through Prime Minister Wang, Lin Feng's memorial and Wanmin's book were sent to the imperial court.Lin Feng's memorial describes in detail what An Lehou and Jiang Wan did in Chenzhou, and even the common people applauded An Lehou's killing.

Therefore, when Bao Zheng entered the palace to have an audience, the emperor only verbally reprimanded him, but did not condemn him.On the contrary, Taishi Pang was reprimanded by the emperor for being ineffective in teaching his son, so he closed his doors and thought about his mistakes.

Seeing that the disaster relief was successfully completed, the emperor even left Bao Zheng behind and asked about what he saw and heard along the way.Zhan Zhao, the martyr who Bao Zheng said he saved several times, has a lot of appreciation.

Baogong has always cherished talents, not only talking about Zhan Zhao's chivalrous deeds in Chenzhou.He even admitted frankly that when he went to Beijing to rush for the exam, he encountered the Black Temple and received help from Zhan Zhao.

"It seems that Zhan Yishi is Bao Qing's nobleman, and he has saved him many times without mentioning it. This time, Zhan Yishi was afraid that I would blame Bao Qing, and sent thousands of miles to the Prime Minister Wang's residence. He is indeed a true chivalrous man!" Sighing, "I originally thought that chivalry used martial arts to break the ban, but I didn't expect that there are such righteous men as Nan Xia in the Jianghu."

"In Jianghu, there are not only chivalrous men like Nanxia Zhanzhao, who are looking for relief in Chenzhou, but also heard that there is a righteous man from the empty island and Dr. Fu from the Yaowang Mountain Villa who brought a large number of medicinal materials and invited several doctors to Chenzhou to provide free consultations for the victims. , to prevent the outbreak of the epidemic. This kind of righteousness is really a model for the people of Jianghu."

"From this point of view, people in Jianghu are not all unreasonable, and the hearts of the people are available!" The emperor said happily.

"What the officials said is true!" Mr. Bao nodded and said.

"But Yaowang Mountain Villa, I seem to have heard of it somewhere." The emperor suddenly pondered,

"I have heard Mr. Gongsun say that Fu Yulin, a doctor in the Hanlin Medical Academy, is the younger brother of the owner of the Yaowang Villa." Bao Zheng explained, "Mr. Gongsun also likes to study medical skills on weekdays. There are quite a few familiar people."

"So it's Fu Qing, no wonder I feel familiar."

Although Dr. Cheng An is only from the sixth rank, he is the highest official position in the Hanlin Medical Official Academy.Therefore, Fu Yulin specialized in seeing the empress dowager, the emperor and other high-ranking dignitaries in the palace, so the emperor could greet him somewhat.

"Fu Qing's medical skills are superb. I never thought that his son and nephew would be so loyal to serve the country." The emperor said, "It's just that there are such outstanding young people in Fu Qing's family, why don't they promote talents for the court?"

"The officials don't know, this Doctor Fu is for young girls." Bao Gong said hastily, "The officials are thirsty for talents, but I feel that Zhan Yishi is a talent not to be missed."

The emperor smiled and said: "It should be so! I have always wanted to choose a few masters to serve the court, but I have never been able to find the right one. I wonder how good is this righteous warrior?"

Any emperor with a bit of ambition hopes to have more capable ministers and generals under his command.There are virtuous ministers, the ruler is a wise ruler, isn't he?When the emperor is young and full of vigor, he naturally hopes to recruit more talents to serve the court.

Master Bao has always appreciated Zhan Zhao very much, so he said: "If you talk about Zhan Zhao's martial arts, there are three unique skills: first, the swordsmanship is superb, and there are few opponents; able."

The emperor was even more delighted when he heard the words, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It must be a great blessing if Zhan Yishi can serve the court!"

Then ordered Bao Gong to look for Zhan Zhao and recruit him into the court.

But Zhan Zhao went to Prime Minister Wang's residence to submit a letter, and did not leave the capital immediately.After hearing that Duke Bao has returned to Beijing, he will pay a visit to Kaifeng Mansion.

It's just that Mr. Bao had already entered the palace at that time, but he met the chief secretary, Gongsun Ce.When Gongsun Ce saw Zhan Zhao for the first time, he admired him very much. Thinking of Bao Gong's uprightness, he offended many dignitaries in the court.Assassins from Kaifeng Mansion came in batch after batch, Gongsun Ce wanted to recruit these righteous men for Mr. Bao.

Therefore, Gongsun Ce personally welcomed Zhan Zhao into the mansion. During the discussion, he bluntly asked Zhan Zhao if he would join the government and join the Kaifeng mansion.

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Bao has always been an upright and upright official. He is trusted by the officials. Many important cases are entrusted to him for trial, and he never shirks it. Therefore, he has offended many dignitaries, and those corrupt officials do not see him well. "Gongsun Ce sighed, "If it is an ordinary assassin, Dynasty Ma Han, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu can deal with it by themselves. But when encountering such master assassins as Xiang Fu and Leng Lonely, they are somewhat powerless!"

Zhan Zhao also agrees with this.He also has a lot of admiration for Mr. Bao, so every time he heard that Mr. Bao was in trouble, he would do everything possible to come to help.However, if you want to abandon your free and easy Jianghu identity and join the government, you can't help but hesitate a bit.

Fortunately, Gongsun Ce is also a considerate person, so he didn't continue this topic.The two replaced wine with tea, and they talked happily about one article and one martial arts.

When Bao Gong returned to the mansion and heard that Zhan Zhao was at the mansion, he was naturally overjoyed.After the court meeting the next day, he reported the matter to the emperor.

At this time, the Son of Heaven is only at the age of a weak crown, he has lost the majesty of an emperor, and still has a bit of a lively temperament of a young man.Hearing about Bao Gong's journey and the story of Nan Xia's chivalrous deeds, he became somewhat curious.

In order to give Zhan Zhao an official position and not be criticized by others, the emperor decided to try Zhan Zhao's martial arts in Yaowu Building.

After Baogong received the decree, he went back to the mansion and invited Zhan Zhao to the study to convey the emperor's decree one by one.

Although Zhan Zhao is unwilling at this time, but Bao Gong has complied with the order, he can only humbly say: "I am afraid that I will not be shocked by my studies and fail to live up to Master Bao's good intentions."

Bao Gong couldn't help but say a few words of comfort, and talked with each other for a long time.When Zhan Zhao returned to the guest house, Gongsun Ce and the four door gods had heard about this time, so they came here to congratulate him, and had another banquet to celebrate Zhan Zhao.

The next day, Zhan Zhao followed Lord Bao to meet the emperor, and everyone was shocked by the skills in front of the Yaowu Tower.Because of his dexterity, the emperor blurted out the title of "Royal Cat", and he was also canonized as a fourth-rank imperial guard with a knife to work in Kaifeng Mansion.

Now that Zhan Zhao has become a member of the Kaifeng mansion, when he returned to the mansion, Bao Gong told him about a serious case and asked Zhan Zhao to protect him.

This person is the mysterious blind old woman whom Master Bao brought back from Caozhou Bridge and identified as his mother.

It turned out that the blind old woman said that she wanted to sue her son for being unfilial, but she asked Bao Gong to back off.What the old woman wanted to sue turned out to be today's emperor, and she said that she was the late emperor's concubine Li Shi.

He told Bao Gong about the shocking case of exchanging the civet cat for the prince, and even took out his identity certificate to give him a golden pill. Bao Gong couldn't believe it.

From Concubine Li's narration, the context of the case is clear.There are only two problems: 18 years have passed, the past is the past, many important witnesses such as the court lady Kou Zhu who saved the prince righteously, and the eunuchs Qin Feng and Yu Zhong who died to save the concubine Li died.

In addition, Chen Lin, the chief eunuch who sent the prince to the Nanqing Palace, also returned to his hometown a year ago.Only the eight sage kings, who are insiders, are left with high positions and weights.Bao Gong didn't know the Eight Sage King's intentions, and he didn't dare to reveal it easily.

Then there is Empress Dowager Liu and the chief executive Guo Huai who are involved in the case, Mr. Bao should not talk about asking the case, it is not easy even to meet each other on weekdays.

It is difficult to find witnesses and physical evidence, and it is not easy to find out the truth of the year.

On the one hand, Baogong asked Zhan Zhao to protect Concubine Li, and Gongsun Ce was also trying his best to heal Concubine Li's blind eyes from crying.
