Go to Kaifeng to be a civil servant

Mr. Bao, the prefect of Kaifeng, was born with a dark face, which is known to all the world.

However, all the arresting officials in the Kaifeng Mansion also turned black faces, but it was just a few days ago.

If the people in Bianliang used to talk about the yamen servants of Kaifeng Mansion, they would not be able to use the words "prestige and integrity", but these days, when they mentioned the fast yamen servants of Kaifeng Mansion, they only had one sentence: "Kaifeng Mansion is Didn't they suffer a catastrophe, why are all their faces blackened like the bottom of a pot?"

If you ask why, well...

Hard to say...

If you really want to speak clearly, you have to start from the night six days ago.

It is said that six days ago, Mrs. Bao Huating ordered that Zhan Zhao, the fourth-rank imperial guard with a knife, dared not neglect. Before nightfall, he immediately summoned the government to arrest and issued a strict order. Jia protects Master Bao's two distant cousins ​​in the Master's Court, so that nothing will be lost.

The arresting yamen servants have always been well-trained, and they don't need to be ordered. They also know that these two people will definitely be involved in the big case, and their lives may be in danger.

Sure enough, that night, several masked gangsters climbed over the wall and tried to kill the two of them.

The result goes without saying.

However, it is not normal for a few nocturnal assassins to have no troubles in Kaifeng mansion for a month.What's more, these assassins were mediocre in martial arts, before Mr. Zhan and the four major lieutenants could make a move, they were surrounded by government servants from Kaifeng Mansion and arrested on the spot.

It's just that these few assassins were very tight-lipped, before waiting for Mr. Bao's interrogation, they took poison and committed suicide.

This is also a common occurrence, and the officials of the Kaifeng government who have seen big scenes have not paid attention to such small battles.

However, everyone did not expect that this matter has planted the root of disaster...

In other words, in the middle of the night, in the dead of night, when everyone was sleeping soundly, they heard a loud and long howl from Mr. Zhan’s room, which went through the sky, startling everyone in the house, from Mr. Bao and Mr. Gongsun, down to Zaoli, the handyman. , all jumped up from the bed and went straight to Master Zhan's bedroom in the Master's Courtyard.

When everyone arrived, they saw a thin figure standing by the door in front of Mr. Zhan's room, with disheveled hair and startled eyes. He was actually a Jinqianjin policeman who was ordered to protect Fan Ronghua personally.

And beside Jin Qian, stood Master Zhan dressed in red and four captains who were stunned.What was even more shocking was that Mr. Zhan, who had always been calm and composed, now had Jun's face trembling slightly.

Everyone is very puzzled.

Mr. Gongsun was about to go forward to ask, when he heard another long howl from inside the house, like the chirping of a crane and the chant of a dragon, ear-piercing and head-scratching, straight into the sky, stunned everyone on the spot.

Master Bao exclaimed: "Could it be that something happened to Fan Ronghua?! Zhan's guards, follow me into the house to check!"

"My lord..." Zhan Zhao stepped forward to stop Master Bao, lowered his eyes and said, "It's not an accident, I'm afraid it's..."

"I'm afraid it's..." Master Bao frowned.

"Nephew—" An old woman's voice came from the room next door to the Confucian Courtyard. Everyone recognized it as the voice of Lord Bao's aunt from afar. The old lady said in an orderly manner, "Nephew, don't worry, it's just a prickly pear." My son is just sleeping and snoring."

"Snoring?!" Everyone's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Whoever can snore with such a sound is no less inferior than killing pigs and sheep!

Master Bao's aunt continued: "Hua'er has such a problem since he was young. If he is frightened, he will snore in the middle of the night. The sound is loud and there is no cure."

frightened? !Could it be those assassins? !

Everyone has black lines all over their heads, looking at each other in blank dismay.

After a long while, Mr. Gongsun said slowly: "Fan Ronghua is very talented, and he will become a master in the future!"

"What Mr. Gongsun said is very true..." Mr. Bao echoed.

The night wind whizzes past...

The crowd stared blankly.

"Cough cough—" Master Bao coughed several times, and continued to ask: "I don't know how many days it will be back to normal?"

"If you don't get frightened anymore, you can recover in three to five days..." The old lady in the house replied.

"Is it like this all night?" Mr. Gongsun also asked.

"Maybe it's like this all night... just get used to it..."

Habit? !How to get used to it? !

Lord Bao frowned, turned to Mr. Gongsun and said seriously: "Mr. Gongsun has a magic method?!"

"This..." Confucianism showed embarrassment, "Students have never heard such a call, and there is nothing they can do for a while..." Speaking of this, Mr. Gongsun's phoenix eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned to Jin Qian again. He asked, "Does Captain Jin have any suggestions?"

Jin Qian frowned and squinted his eyes for a while, then straightened his back, clasped his fists and said solemnly: "This subordinate must do his best!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and opened the door to enter the room, and there was no sound.

Suddenly, there was another whistling sound from inside the house, causing sawdust to fall from the roof. Everyone was terrified, and they all covered their ears and backed away a few steps.

There was a staggering footsteps in the room, accompanied by the sound of wooden tables and stools colliding, the door was kicked open with a bang, and Jin Qian came out suddenly.

"This subordinate is incompetent..." Although it was late at night, everyone could still clearly see Jin Qian's face twitching up and down.

Mr. Bao turned his head to look at Mr. Gongsun, and after a while he managed to say something: "It's better to wake him up..."

"Nephew, don't do it!" The old lady in the next room hurriedly said, "If Hua'er is woken up and he falls asleep again, the cries will be even louder..."

"This..." Master Bao blinked, and then looked at Mr. Gongsun again.

Mr. Gongsun lowered his eyes and frowned.

Master Bao sighed, cupped his hands and said to the next room, "Auntie, rest first." Then he turned his head to look at the two people at the door, and said, "Guard Zhan, arrester Jin, pay more attention to Fan Ronghua's safety..."

"It's a subordinate's job." Zhan Zhao clasped his fists.

"...the subordinate's duties." Jin Qian clasped his fists.

Master Bao nodded, and told everyone to go back to their rooms to rest.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, there is nothing to do, so I have to go back to the room as ordered.

The four school captains looked at Zhan and Jin who were standing still, and then looked at each other, and finally Chao Chao said: "It's windy outside, Mr. Zhan, catcher Jin, you'd better go back to the house quickly, outside the house." With the four of us here, there will be no worries!"

I saw Jin Qian's face moved, he quickly raised his head, and said in a serious manner: "That...we are looking at such a beautiful day, suitable for admiring the moon, watching the moon...cough cough..."

Appreciate the moon?Um?

The four of them looked up, only to see dark clouds and dense darkness, not even a crescent moon, what kind of moon is there to admire?

But Zhan Zhao actually nodded and said: "It really is rare to see the moonlight..."

Open your eyes and talk nonsense? !

Mr. Zhan? !

The four were shocked.

After a while, Ma Han reacted quickly, clasped his fists and said, "Since that's the case, the four of us will go to other places to inspect first, and there will be Mr. Lao Zhan and Catcher Jin here!"

After all, the four of them clasped their fists and resigned.

So in the doctor's courtyard, only Jin Qian and Zhan Zhao were left, isolated in the wind.

"When you're awake, it's fine to chatter non-stop, why don't you even sleep peacefully..." Jin Qian muttered with a face twitching.

Zhan Zhao stood upright with his sword in his arms, looking into the distance with his starry eyes, he didn't know what to think of, his thin lips curled up, and he said slowly: "Compared to someone—he is indeed superior..."

"Huh? Master Zhan, what did you say?"

"nothing……"

Tsk, this cat is becoming more and more elusive...

Facts have proved that Empress Li is indeed experienced and Jinkou prophesied. This kind of terrifying cry, no more, no less, once every quarter of an hour on average, continued until dawn.

-

Afterwards, in the early morning of the second day, when Fan Ronghua got up, he was surprised to find that all the people in the Kaifeng mansion looked at him with sad eyes. He was puzzled, so he dragged Jin Qian to a secluded place to ask.

"Xiao Jin, why are everyone a little weird today?"

"My lord really doesn't know?"

"Ru Hua is unknown."

"My lord, do you know the sound of your lord when he was asleep after being frightened...that--is it a bit loud?"

"This... Rong Hua once heard my mother mention that Rong Hua has this problem with her urine since she was a child, but it's not a serious problem, it's just a little noisy."

"A little noisy?! Could it be that there is no one in the neighborhood... that..." Complaint? !

"Xiao Jin was joking. Ronghua and mother live outside the city, and the population is sparsely populated. How can there be neighbors? And mother also said that it doesn't matter if you get used to it."

"..."

"Xiao Jin, are you feeling unwell? Why is your complexion so bad?!"

"..."

"Xiaojin, did you catch a cold during the vigil last night? Alas, Ronghua is just worried. Xiaojin, you are so thin, and the vigil is too hard! If you don't wait for Ronghua to talk to Mr. Zhan, you won't be allowed tonight The night watch is over, Xiao Jin will sleep with Rong Hua today, and have a good night's rest..."

"My lord's words are wrong! The duty of a humble job! How can you neglect!!"

"Xiaojin...your complexion is getting worse and worse. No way! Let's talk to Mr. Zhan now..."

"Little prince!!"

"Xiao Jin, why are you kneeling? Get up, get up!"

"Little prince, I have a loyal heart in a humble position, only God can show it. Everyone in the Kaifeng mansion is working hard for the safety of the prince and queen mother. How can the subordinates be alone?! Isn't this action of the little prince a waste of money and devotion to injustice?!"

"Xiao Jin... You are so young, but you have such great righteousness... I admire you!"

"My lord congrats!"

"Since Xiaojin insisted, you can do whatever you want! It's just that Xiaojin, seeing your face, you can order it to make up for it. As the saying goes, chicken soup is the most nourishing... There is a family of Ronghua who pass on the wonderful method of chicken soup, which is to use a whole chicken to cook slowly. Time, use again..."

Quack, quack, buzz, buzz...

Jin Qian looked up at the sky, but felt that the butterflies were busy, the bees were flying, and there were a lot of flies around...

At night, the sound of the cry shakes the soul, and the sound of the magic sound of the dawn surrounds the ears...

It's no wonder that Comrade Li Hou endured humiliation and buried the people for more than ten years and still maintained such an aristocratic demeanor. His feelings were influenced by the Sanskrit sounds of Fan Ronghua every day, and he had already cultivated to perfection and soared to perfection!

All five bodies cast down, had to submit...

Tsk!That disloyal cat, a "inspecting government office" has been there for so long...

oh my god...

In short, Kaifeng Mansion ushered in the second night after the whole day of personal protection by the gold policeman who sacrificed his life and was stained with blood and tears.

It's a pity that Guo Huai seemed very unwilling at the same time, and sent a second batch of killers.

Their martial arts were slightly stronger than those of the previous group, but they were still no match for the government servants in Kaifeng Mansion. They just lasted a few more rounds before being caught again, and they still committed suicide by taking poison.

That night, Fan Ronghua's cry for death was even more powerful.

The next day, all the people in Kaifeng Mansion, from patrolling the streets to policemen sweeping the floor, all had black eyes.

Jin Qian's face turned dark, Master Zhan's starry eyes dimmed.

-

On the third day, the third batch of killers came bravely. As soon as they entered the government office, they were coaxed by many government servants, captured and beaten violently. Seeing this situation, several killers were terrified and quickly took poison to kill themselves.

Although it is said that Comrade Fan Ronghua was under strict surveillance and should not have been frightened, the voices of that night reached a new height.

The next day, all the people in the Kaifeng Mansion looked fierce, like a bandit in the ocean.

Mr. Gongsun retreated in the house for two hours, searched medical books, but failed.

Master Bao almost fell down on the way back to the palace.

Jin Qian's eyes were loose, Master Zhan's face was black with blue.

-

On the fourth day, there were no killers invading, and it was peaceful. Everyone was full of emotions and fell asleep early.

That night, Fan Ronghua's voice continued to the level of the previous day.

The next day, all the people in Kaifeng Mansion, their faces were as black as the bottom of a pot, and their attacks were fierce. Xiaoxiao in Bianliang City lost [-]%.

Mr. Gongsun retreated in the pharmacy for four hours, but failed...

It is said that Master Bao almost fell down when he was in court early.

Jin Qian flickered every step of the way, Master Zhan would occasionally close his eyes and meditate.

-

On the fifth day, no killer invaded, and everyone was overjoyed.

Voices fell to the level of the first day.

The next day, everyone's spirits improved.

Mr. Public Prosecutor achieved outstanding results, and finally made a decoction, and asked Fan Ronghua to take it.

Master Bao's nap time has been increased.

Jin Qian was still distracted, Zhan Wei still practiced with his eyes closed occasionally.

-

On the sixth day, a large number of killers attacked, their kung fu greatly increased, and the momentum was like a broken bamboo.

The arresters were quickly defeated, and the four captains were defeated.

The guards with knives of the first four ranks made a decisive decision, jumped up against the case, and flew towards them. Wherever the red shadow went, sword shadows were like lightning, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and no one could fight.

That night, the voice was quite like Beethoven's "Symphony of Destiny".

Ever since, after a whole night of artistic influence, Kaifeng Mansion has risen to a historic height worth remembering.

Then came the seventh night.

-

Sparse stars and bright moon, cool wind and tall trees, it should be a beautiful scene on a good day, the color of flowers blooming a month ago, but inside the Kaifeng government office, it is full of wind and cranes, and the grass and trees are like soldiers.

"Those over there, be careful, it was your west courtyard who made a leak the night before! Also, send a brother to the room, today the roof will be watched closely, don't let anyone get in again!"

I saw a big man, holding a steel knife, standing in front of the Confucian Courtyard, commanding and shouting, quite imposing, it was Li Shao, the head arrester of Kaifeng Mansion.

Looking at the Confucius courtyard, there are several teams of yamen servants waiting in full force, their eyes glowing, and they are gearing up.

Li Butou patrolled the courtyard for a week, and saw that the guards and servants were well-prepared and watertight, so he nodded in satisfaction, returned to the middle of the Confucius courtyard, cleared his throat, and said, "Brothers, Mr. Bao's order of strict security for seven days, Today is the last day, and Li also knows that the brothers have worked hard these few days, but this last night, there must be no problems! Tonight is a last-ditch fight, if you fail, you will be benevolent! Do you understand, brothers?!"

"Understood!" All the yamen servants replied in unison.

Li Butou nodded with a serious face, thought for a while, and then walked around to inspect.

And in the flower hall, the elites of Kaifeng Mansion also looked nervous.

"Empress Dowager, the arrangements for tomorrow have been made. At that time, the Empress Dowager will go to the Nanqing Palace with my ministers to celebrate Di Niangniang's birthday."

Standing in the hall with fists folded, Mr. Bao said respectfully.

Empress Li nodded when she heard the words, and said, "Everything depends on Bao Qing."

"Please rest assured, Empress Dowager!" Lord Bao clasped his fists and replied respectfully. After a pause, he turned around and stood up again. Looking around at the exhausted faces of everyone around him, he said, "Everyone has worked hard these few days..."

When everyone heard the words, their eyes sparkled, and they hurriedly clasped their fists and replied: "This is the job of the subordinates!"

Lord Bao nodded: "Tomorrow, I will report the case of replacing the raccoon cat with the crown prince to the sage. At that time, the eight kings, Qiansui and Eunuch Chen Lin will bear witness. The truth will come to light. Naturally, there is no need to worry about the safety of the empress dowager and the little prince." At this point, Master Bao's face became serious, and he raised his voice again, "The safety of the queen mother and the little prince must not be the same tonight, do you understand?!"

"Subordinates understand!" Everyone said in unison.

Mr. Bao looked around, nodded slightly, and said slowly, "I have to get up early tomorrow, so let's go to bed earlier..."

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the hall.

Everyone looked at each other, hesitated to speak.

When Master Bao saw this, he also sighed secretly, turned his eyes to Mr. Gongsun and said, "Mr. Gongsun, can you prepare the tonic for the little prince?"

Mr. Gongsun said quietly: "It has already been prepared, but the students are afraid that the effect will not be great..."

Everyone collapsed suddenly.

When Fan Ronghua heard the words, his face was full of doubts, and he lowered his long eyelashes for a while, but finally couldn't bear it anymore, and asked: "Mr. Gongsun, Ronghua didn't know yesterday, and Ronghua is in good health, why do you need tonic?"

"This..." Mr. Gongsun turned his phoenix eyes and bowed his head in silence.

Looking at the people in the room, they also bowed their heads in silence.

Fan Ronghua looked around, frowned, walked up to Jin Qian in two steps and said displeasedly: "Xiaojin, why do everyone in Kaifeng Mansion look weird when they see Ronghua these few days, and why are Master Zhan and the four lieutenant brothers The spirit is so weak, Rong Hua has been asking you for several days and you have been talking about other things, today you must explain to Rong Hua!"

"Hey? Ask me again?" Jin Qian was surprised, and looked up at the beautiful young man in front of him with an unhappy face.

"Ronghua has also asked others, but they are all perfunctory words..." Fan Ronghua's eyes froze and said, "Xiao Jin, Ronghua treats you like a younger brother. You must not fool Ruanhua again today!"

"This..." Jin Qian turned his eyes carefully, looked around, and looked at others.

All the people in the room turned their faces away, lowered their eyes, and looked up at the sky, all looking as if they had nothing to do with themselves.

Tsk tsk, these guys...

Looking up at Fan Ronghua's inquisitive face again, Jin Qian suddenly exclaimed helplessly: Tell the truth? !fart!Don't we want to hang out? !

With Fan Ronghua's temperament, if he knew that he had caused such trouble, in order not to hurt others, he would definitely stay up all night.

Thinking about how noble Fan Ronghua's status is, if this person broke his body and Li Hou got angry, who would be able to bear it? !

Lao Bao naturally thought of this, so he strictly ordered the Kaifeng mansion not to talk nonsense about this matter.

But in our opinion, this is the second.

If Fan Ronghua knew the truth, it would add to the pressure in his heart. When Madam Fan fell asleep again, not to mention the entire Kaifeng mansion, I am afraid that even Bianliang City in Tokyo would not be able to calm down...

Thinking of this, Jin Qian couldn't help shivering all over his body, and hurriedly bowed his head and said: "My lord, please tell me, the reason for this is because of my humble position and low status, so I can't disclose it, please ask someone else!"

"Xiaojin...don't even you want to tell Ronghua the truth?!"

"My lord..." Hearing Fan Ronghua's voice tremble slightly, Jin Qian couldn't help but look up, and was stunned for a moment.

Under the candlelight, the young man's face was white, his eyes were full of water, his slender brows were slightly frowned, as if Xizi was holding a heart, it made people's hearts ache.

Jinqian's three souls immediately flew away, and the voice slipped out of his throat involuntarily: "Actually, every night the prince..."

"There are assassins!" A clear voice sounded impressively, and Jin Qian suddenly came back to his senses, only to feel a gust of wind blowing beside him, and a red shadow had broken through the door.

"There's an assassin?!" Everyone turned pale with shock.

Master Bao straightened up and shouted loudly: "Chao Chao, Ma Han, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, protect the old lady!"

"Yes!" The four captains pulled out their broadswords and surrounded Li Hou, Fan Ronghua, Mr. Bao and Mr. Gongsun to protect them.

Several people stood upright, their eyes burning, ready to fight, but after a while, they realized that something was wrong.

Usually when assassins attack, there will be a fight, the sound of weapons and the sound of shouting can be heard endlessly, but at this time, there is silence outside the house, no sound, and the silence is creepy.

"Catcher Jin, go and have a look!" Mr. Gongsun said urgently.

"Yes!" Jin Qian narrowed his eyes, untied a large cloth bag from his waist, held it in his hand, pushed the door and hurried out, fixed his eyes, and immediately stood on the spot in shock.

In front of the Flower Hall and in the middle of the Confucius Courtyard, several rows of men in black stood together, all of them raised their eyebrows and raised their eyebrows, holding steel knives, full of murderous aura. Roughly estimated, there were at least five or sixty people.

assassin? !

Please, this is simply the formation of bandits and bandits!

Looking around the Confucius Courtyard, Kaifeng Mansion arrested a large number of Yamen servants, and surrounded the men in black with knives, all of them grinning and looking fierce.

Wait, fierce light? !

Jin Qian blinked his eyelids, and rubbed the corners of his eyes again, only to be sure that he was not dazzled—it really was a fierce light, and it was faintly green, and at first glance, it looked like a pack of hungry wolves.

And in front of the yamen servants team, a red shadow stood alone, the night wind was hunting, the clothes were flying, the sword was cold, and the evil spirit was vertical and horizontal.

It's a good scene of "the dark moon and high wind and murderous night".

Suddenly, I don't know who suddenly shouted:

"Grandma, I'm fighting with you!"

All of a sudden, a group of yamen servants rushed up like a tiger descending a mountain or a hungry wolf rushing for food. The hatred of the father and the hatred of taking his wife are ordinary.

"Damn, you still dare to come?! I have been harmed by you these few days!"

"His grandma's, after being tormented by you, can he still be alive tonight?!"

"Who doesn't have a good eye, send these useless wastes over here, can't we treat Kaifeng as a vegetable market?"

"Kill them, brothers, if we don't avenge this revenge, where will we face the Kaifeng Mansion?!"

Amidst the glare of the knife, there was a lot of shouting and cursing.

The people in black couldn't have expected such a situation. Faced with these Kaifeng government servants who looked more like killers than killers, they panicked and retreated frequently.

Not to mention these killers, even Jin Qian was dumbfounded and didn't recover for a while.

However, compared to the killers of the previous few days, this gang of black-clothed men was a bit more capable. Although they were extremely shocked, they resumed their formation and charged forward in a short while. Swing the knife out.

It's a pity that before these people could take a breath, they felt red shadows swirling in front of them, a cold light flashed, and they fell down with a huff.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the men in black rushed back a few steps to protect a man in black in the middle of the team, only to see a long whistle blew from the mouth of this man, piercing the eardrums.

Everyone felt that the sky was dark, and figures were flying around. When they looked up, they saw more than a dozen black-clothed killers coming through the air. They turned around in mid-air and divided into two teams. One team went straight to Huating, and the other went straight to Zhan Zhao.

Attacking Zhan Zhao's team, several people besieged, quite a formation, several people attacked, several people defended, the offensive and defensive division of labor, methodical, even though Nan Xia Zhan Zhao's martial arts was outstanding, he was still entangled in one place, and it was difficult to escape for a while.

And the team running towards the flower hall used even more vicious tricks and sinister ways. The dozen or so guards guarding in front of the flower hall were knocked down after only three or five moves. In a short while, there was only one person left in front of the flower hall. .

Several black-clothed killers took a closer look, and saw that this person was thin and thin, with trembling eyelids, he was actually a young policeman, so he swung his blade and slashed at this person.

"Clang!" There was a sound of steel blades colliding, and the two steel knives blocked the deadly steel knife.

"Catcher Jin, are you alright?!" Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were the ones who drew the sword.

But when the two men took a closer look, they were stunned for a moment, there was no Jin Qian figure in front of them, and in the blink of an eye, Jin Qian had already rushed behind the two of them, shouting: "You two My lord, hold it up, hold it up!"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Jin Qian wave his right hand, and a stream of black powder was scattered, heading straight for the men in black.

Zhang Long and Zhao Hu suddenly felt a stench coming, and they wanted to cover their noses with their hands, but because the steel knife in their hands could not be loosened, they had to bite the bullet and endure it.

Suddenly, I felt the pressure on the steel knife disappear, and there were several muffled sounds again. I looked up and saw several black-clothed killers lying straight on the ground with green faces. The strangest thing was, All of them stared wide-eyed, with blue and black eye circles around them, which were somewhat similar to the dark circles under the eyes of everyone in Kaifeng Mansion these days.

Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were astonished.

I saw Jinqian holding a big cloth bag, coming forward angrily, and sprinkled black powder on the face of the man in black, then sprinkled it and muttered: "Sprinkle 'Sleep Powder', and your muscles will be as stiff as iron, ten days and ten days. Ye couldn’t sleep with his eyes closed, tsk tsk... If we poison you, you won’t sleep you to death?! This is what we call treating another person in the same way!”

Two drops of clear cold sweat slid down from the foreheads of Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, which were very conspicuous under the shadow of swords and swords.

"This is?!" A familiar voice came, and the two of them looked up, only to see Zhan Zhao standing in front of the door at some point, looking around at the black-clothed killers slouching all over the floor, with doubts on his face.

"This..." Zhang Long and Zhao Hu laughed dryly, "Thanks to Catcher Jin, thanks to Catcher Jin!"

Zhan Zhao glanced at Jin Qian in the distance, sighed secretly, turned to Zhang Long and Zhao Hu and said, "Go back to the house and report to your lord that all the assassins have been captured, and there is no serious problem."

"Yes!" Zhang Long and Zhao Hu clasped their fists together, and at the same time looked up at the black-clothed assassin lying in the yard and the government servants who were still shouting at the dead bodies, and coughed uncomfortably, "It belongs to Go down here and report to your lord!"

That night, Kaifeng Mansion was full of jubilation, not because dozens of assassins were captured, but because Mr. Gongsun's medicinal soup finally took effect, Fan's cry for killing his life weakened to the point where it could be tolerated, Kaifeng Mansion finally ushered in had a sleepless night.

Soon, gossip spread in the rivers and lakes, claiming that the yamen servants in the Kaifeng mansion are all martial arts masters, and their shots are extremely brave and fierce. If the assassin who enters the mansion is captured, he must be ordered to survive and die no.

So far, Kaifeng Mansion has been listed as the head of the blacklist of underworld assassins for several months, until a guy who is not afraid of anything breaks this myth.

-

Everyone in Bianliang City in Tokyo knows that the sixth day of June is a big day.

This day is the birthday of the birth mother of the current emperor, the first wife of the Eight Kings, and Empress Di of the Nanqing Palace.

On the morning of the sixth day of June, the Nanqing Palace was hung with red hangings, and the door was full of joy. The servants were all full of energy and high spirits, and they even walked with majesty.

It's no wonder they are like this. Today, not to mention civil and military officials, even the current emperor will come to Nanqing Palace to celebrate Di Niangniang's birthday.Even the empress dowager attached great importance to this matter, and invited the eight kings into the Forbidden Palace a few days ago to discuss birthday celebrations, and did not escort the eight kings back to the palace until the morning of the sixth day of June, accompanied by a precious birthday gift , it really gave Nanqing Palace great face.

Although the birthday banquet was a dinner party, from noon onwards, there was an endless stream of officials visiting the door to offer gifts and congratulate them.Until dusk, all the officials had arrived, and they were waiting for the holy driver to come.

Wait, who said that all the officials have arrived? !

Obviously there are still two important ministers who have not yet arrived at the mansion.

Which two are they?With such courage, dare to be late to congratulate the current emperor's mother-in-law?

One is Pang Ji, Pang Niangniang's biological father, the grand master of the dynasty.

This person has always been at odds with the Eight Kings Qiansui, and I heard that he has recently contracted an illness, so it is not surprising that he is late.

But if you talk about this other person, it has to be puzzling.

This person has always been on good terms with the Eight Kings Qiansui, and the birthday celebrations in previous years have never been too late. Why is this year so abnormal?

Who is it?

Who else, above the court, the person with the best relationship with the Eight Kings is this person, honest and fair, with a very good official reputation, that is Lord Bao of the Kaifeng Mansion.

Weird, weird...

-

Inside the Nanqing Palace, hundreds of officials gathered, and the Eight Kings and his wife were sitting in the main hall of the Nanqing Palace, smiling all over their faces.

I saw that Niang Niang, wearing golden longevity palace shoes, wearing a red flower skirt with a picture of a hundred longevity, covered with a clear purple transparent flying cloud gauze, wearing a peony inlaid with gold on her head and carrying a jade hairpin, with kind eyebrows, dignified temperament, and graceful grace.

Look at the eight thousand-year-old kings again, wearing a purple gold crown on their heads, wearing a purple brocade robe with auspicious clouds, a gold belt inlaid with emerald jade across their waists, and wearing auspicious blue cloud boots.

The two of them were congratulated by all the officials, they were naturally happy, but they couldn't help seeing Mr. Bao of Kaifeng Mansion alone, so they couldn't help but feel a little doubtful, but they only thought that Mr. Bao was involved in official business, so they didn't speculate much, and waited at ease.

But waiting for Mr. Bao not to come, and waiting for Mr. Bao not to show up, why not make people wonder.

When the lanterns came on, Mr. Bao didn't wait, but Sheng Jia arrived.

All the officials hurriedly adjusted their clothes and belts to welcome the holy driver.

Luan drove into the palace, accompanied by eunuchs and maids, Renzong's dragon robe and gold crown, with a happy face, hurried into the palace.

All the officials bowed down, and the Eight Kings and Empress Di respectfully greeted them.

At the end of the ceremony, the Holy Majesty asked the Eight Kings and Niang Niang to sit upright, and bowed down to congratulate him on his birthday. This is a rite of filial piety.

After the ceremony was over, the emperor sat next to him, and the eight kings and his wife were sitting, and they began to gossip about family affairs.

"Father, mother, the baby is late, please forgive me."

"No problem, no problem."

"The time has come, why don't you open the table quickly."

"This... Grand Master Pang hasn't arrived yet."

"Alas... the grand master cried to me a few days ago, claiming that Bao Qing had killed Anlehou Pangyu, and I later found out that Anlehou had committed countless evils in Chenzhou. His crimes were unforgivable. Baoqing was not at fault, so he reprimanded him A few words from the grand master, I think the grand master is unhappy in his heart, so he stopped playing his temper, there is no need to wait..."

"But……"

"It's good if the grand master doesn't come, lest he see Bao Qing, blow his beard and stare, and spoil the interest of father, mother and concubine."

"Your Majesty, Mr. Bao has not arrived yet..."

"Ah? Why is that?"

"This……"

"Then—since Mr. Bao hasn't arrived, just wait."

When the officials heard it, hey, Mr. Bao is so proud of himself that he asked the emperor to wait for him, which is unprecedented.

But when the emperor speaks, who dares not wait?

But waiting is not an option, so the eight kings ordered: Serve tea!

Baiguan had no choice but to drink tea.

What kind of place is Nanqing Palace, the selected tea leaves are one in a thousand, the best of the best, fragrant and fragrant, with endless aftertaste, and the effect of removing oil and fat is first-class.

But after a few cups, everyone felt that "Empty City Plan" began to be sung in their stomachs, and they kept screaming.

After a few cups of tea, the emperor lost his patience with waiting, looked at the ministers, and sighed: "Father, mother and concubine, there is no need to wait, first..."

As soon as I said this, I saw a eunuch hurried into the hall, knelt down and said: "I report to the emperor, the eighth prince, and Niang Niang, see you at the door of Mr. Bao."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Please!" Eight Kings hurriedly said loudly.

"Master Bao, please—"

As soon as the words came out, Master Bao led a group of people into the main hall, knelt down and saluted.

"Bao Zheng led the Kaifeng mansion and his party to kowtow to the emperor, long live, long live, eight princes, and Niangniang Di!"

"Please, Bao Aiqing!" the emperor said.

"Your Majesty Bao, you don't need to be too polite, please hurry up!" Eight Kings said.

When Mr. Bao straightened up, everyone fixed their eyes and were taken aback for a moment.

I saw Lord Bao wearing an official robe, with a dignified expression, he looked like he was here to celebrate his birthday, but rather to attend a funeral.

Look at the people behind Master Bao again: Zhan Zhao, the fourth-rank imperial guard with a knife, is an acquaintance, but why is this handsome face so sad today?

The person next to Zhan Zhao is thin and narrow-eyed, dressed as a policeman...

Hey, does Mr. Bao understand the rules? He came to Nanqing Palace to celebrate his birthday, not to catch a thief. Why did he even bring the policemen from the mansion here?

Could it be that Mr. Bao is busy with official business, he just finished some big case, so he rushed to celebrate his birthday before he could dismiss his subordinates, and planned to let his subordinates meet the world, and have a tooth-beating ceremony...

But, why did you bring a sedan chair in?

There is a beautiful young man following the sedan chair?

What's the point?

All the officials looked at each other in blank dismay, and the three people in the hall were also inexplicable.

"Master Bao, what are you..." The Eighth King hesitated for a long time before asking.

Lord Bao clasped his fists and said in a solemn voice, "I would like to report to the Holy Majesty, the Eighth King, that Bao Zheng is here to give a congratulatory gift to Empress Di."

"Oh, if that's the case, please Master Bao to offer it." The Eighth Prince calmed down and smiled slightly after hearing this.

Master Bao nodded, and said to Zhan Zhao behind him: "Guard Zhan."

"Yes!" Zhan Zhao cupped his fists, took out a small wooden box from his arms, and handed it to the eunuch receiving the gift.

The Eighth King took the wooden box, looked it over carefully, looked at Niangniang Di again, couldn't help but smiled slightly and said, "It's really costing Lord Bao, what's inside?"

"My lord will know it at a glance."

"You..." The Eighth King shook his head with a smile, raised his hand to open the wooden box——

"Oh my God!" Niangniang Di's face changed drastically, she jumped up from her seat and almost staggered and fell to the ground.

Eight Kings Qiansui's face was pale, his hands trembled unceasingly, the contents in the box couldn't stand the shaking, slipped out of the wooden box, and rolled to the emperor's feet.

"Father king? Mother concubine?" The emperor was horrified and stood up hastily.

"Ah!" An exclamation resounded through the hall, and it was the eunuch Chen Lin, Eunuch Chen, who was next to the emperor, fell to the ground, his body trembling, and stared at the thing at the emperor's feet full of horror.

"Chen Lin?!" The emperor frowned, followed Chen Lin's gaze, and then saw that the object at his feet was a golden pill.

Bending down to pick it up, looking around, the emperor couldn't help frowning, and asked inexplicably, "Isn't this the golden pill of the empress? Why is it here?"

"Your Majesty, please look clearly, this is not the golden pill held by the Empress Dowager, the three characters engraved on this golden pill are - Yuchen Palace!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of murmur in the hall.

"Yuchen Palace?" The emperor took a closer look with the golden pill in his hand, "So what?"

"Master Bao!" Eighth Prince suddenly stood up and shouted sharply, "Where did you find this thing?!"

Lord Bao raised his eyes to look at the Eight Kings, then lowered his eyes and cupped his fists and said, "It's not that I found it, but someone handed it to Bao Zheng!"

"Yes, who gave it to you?!" Niangniang Di asked tremblingly.

Lord Bao didn't answer, but just bowed to the plain sedan chair, lifted the curtain of the sedan chair with his hand, and helped out an old woman.

I saw this old woman, dressed in common clothes, with a dignified demeanor, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, but a pair of eyes, but they were lifeless and blind.

The Eight Kings and his wife stared, suddenly their expressions changed drastically, and at the same time tremblingly walked off the stage, came to the side of the old woman, one on each side, carefully watching, not letting go of a single thing.

"you you you
