Northern Song Dynasty gangster: Start the game with a dog's head, and Mr. Bao spares his life

After finishing speaking, he was about to leave the palace when he suddenly remembered something and quickly turned around and said:

"Your concubine, you must take good care of Pang Shunrong."

"Cao Bin attaches great importance to old love, and he treats Pang Laogou's family as blood relatives."

"As long as Pang Shunrong is in our hands, we won't be afraid of him swaying from side to side, and will decide to join Zhao Ji."

As he spoke, he seemed to think of something and said:

"It just so happened that Pang Yu was arrested by the Kaifeng Mansion, so he took the opportunity to sell him a favor..."

Concubine Pan Gui nodded repeatedly and said:

"Father, don't worry, my daughter will always take Pang Shunrong with me."

After Pan Renmei left, Concubine Pan Gui ordered the maid to invite Concubine Pang to her palace, and pulled her very affectionately and said:

"Sister, I heard that your brother Pang Yu was framed?"

"Don't worry, my father has ordered someone to ask, and he will be released soon."

"Marquis Zhong Jing is going back to Beijing soon, do you want to write a letter? To save his wife from worrying."

Concubine Pang was very happy when she heard the first two sentences, but she was still a little puzzled as to why Concubine Pan Gui was so enthusiastic all of a sudden.

When she mentioned Cao Bin, she immediately had some guesses.

Although she was in the harem, she also heard about the situation of the previous dynasty, thinking that Concubine Pan Guifei was going to use herself to drag Cao Bin into the water... There was a hint of danger in her eyes.

A side courtyard near the lake in Hangzhou Xieyuan.

"Princess, get up and eat quickly, the slaves have grabbed the whitebait and snow lotus soup in the kitchen."

Zhao Fujin was sleeping sweetly wrapped in a brocade quilt, when she was suddenly awakened by this cry. The open door and the cold air immediately woke her up.

Reluctantly, she opened her eyes and looked at her female sword guard, complaining:

"Sister Mei Jian, you're robbing Zhongjinghou's house again, it's too rude!"

The female sword guard said indifferently:

"This is a good thing, it can nourish the face and nourish the body, and even the royal family rarely eats it."

"Cao Hou is uneasy and kind, it is best for him to be poor."

Just as he was talking, seeing Zhao Fujin get up, he hurriedly stepped forward to help her get dressed,

Zhao Fujin was a little unhappy and said:

"Why do you speak ill of Zhong Jinghou again? He has been teaching me calligraphy and painting these days, how can you repay your kindness?"

"Besides, I still want to worship him as my teacher..."

The female guard said speechlessly:

"My princess, if he is really kind, he should have sent you back to the capital long ago."

"You are a noble girl in the boudoir, and you have been living in someone else's house, so why not mention it?"

There are other things she didn't say.

When she first came here, she wanted to visit Chie Garden at night, but before she climbed out of the courtyard wall, she was discovered and almost beaten to death by the other party.

Although she didn't see the opponent's appearance clearly, she could feel the strength of the opponent's martial arts.

With such masters, even Prince Duan's Mansion couldn't come up with a few.

If this Cao Bin has no bad intentions, why send such a master to stare at the princess.

It's just that she doesn't know that this is just the normal defense of Xiyuan, and the guards who are fighting her are not the top experts in the Houfu.

Hearing her advice, Zhao Fujin didn't take it seriously and said:

"Didn't I come here myself?"

He said with some joy:

"My painting skills have improved very fast these days, and I just took the opportunity to finish painting the ten sceneries of West Lake."

"Also, Zhongjing is already so pitiful, you are not allowed to speak ill of him."

As he spoke, he sighed again:

"Old Mr. Pang is too much. Just because Zhongjinghou has little money to honor him, he wants Mrs. Zhongjinghou to reconcile with him. How can there be such a father-in-law in the world?"

When Pang Ji brought her to Hangzhou, in order to pave the way for his own strategy, he made up a bluff.

Although Cao Bin did not adopt Pang Ji's strategy, Zhao Fujin felt very sympathetic to him.

The female guard was a little helpless when she heard this.

She always felt that Pang Ji was an old liar, but she didn't know how to expose it, so she could only say:

"Princess, let's go back to Beijing as soon as possible. You have been living in Cao's house, playing with Cao Bin all day long, and you don't shy away from it. Like his wife and concubine...?"

Speaking of which, she said more directly:

"Princess, I think Zhong Jinghou is trying to trick you!"

Zhao Fujin's pretty face blushed when he heard this, and he shook his head quickly and said:

"What are you talking about, how is this possible?"

She admired Cao Bin's painting skills very much, but she never thought about the relationship between men and women. After all, Cao Bin was married.

Not to mention the concubine's room, even Xu Xian's first wife is too unsuitable for a princess who has never married.

What's more, there are still many rumors about Cao Bin and her aunt Princess Zhaoyang in Beijing.

Thinking of this, Zhao Fujin also became suspicious.

Looking at the snow and dried lotus in the yard, she hesitated for a long time before saying:

"Okay, I'll ask Marquis Zhongjing tomorrow and ask him to send someone to take us back to Beijing!"

In the past few days in Hangzhou, she has lived a very comfortable life.

Traveling around the mountains and rivers every day, painting as I like, and discussing with Cao Bin, a famous teacher, I feel a little bit reluctant to leave suddenly at this time.

Seeing her agreeing, the female guard was happy, and quickly reminded:

"Princess, if Zhong Jinghou finds a reason to shirk, you must not hesitate to soften your heart, and you can use the national law to suppress him when necessary."

Zhao Jinfu nodded and was about to speak when a maid suddenly knocked on the door and said:

"Princess, my Marquis said that you have been in Hangzhou for a long time, and tomorrow I will personally send you back to Beijing. Please prepare as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, the maid left in a hurry.

Zhao Fujin looked at the female guard for a while, and said with some complaints:

"We wronged Zhong Jinghou, what should we do?"

"The people in the Houfu must have heard what we said..."

Thinking of Cao Bin being "made things difficult" by his father-in-law, and now being suspected by himself, he must be very sad... She couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

At this time, in the secret room of Xieyuan.

After reading Pan Renmei's letter, Pang Ji smiled at Cao Bin:

"It seems that Pan Renmei has put all her eggs in one basket and has already agreed to all your conditions."

"A handsome man is sure?"

Cao Bin took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly:

"Father-in-law, don't worry, although time is tight, there shouldn't be any problem."

Although he was a bit lazy in normal times and rarely willing to take risks, this time was a critical moment and he had to take it seriously.

If you win, you will spend your days and nights in the future. If you lie down casually, you will at least live a rich life.

Even for the sake of a beautiful and playful life in the future, he has to work hard.

Pang Ji nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Okay, Juncai is becoming more and more like a general."

As he spoke, he reminded again:

"Winner and loser, since you have made up your mind, let it go."

"However, try not to break the rules of the court. If you act domineeringly, even if you succeed, you will have a lot of trouble."

Seeing that Cao Bin listened, Pang Ji nodded and said:

"After you leave, the old man will rush to the capital as soon as possible to help you..."

Early the next morning, Cao Bin didn't disturb his wives and concubines, but only called Zhao Fujin's master and servant, and set off with a thousand guards.

"Brother Cao, you don't actually need to send me off yourself."

Zhao Fujin followed Cao Bin to the wharf, saw that he mobilized his troops, not only called a thousand personal guards, but also a dozen large ships with thousands of materials waiting, he couldn't help feeling more and more ashamed, and said embarrassingly.

Cao Bin laughed twice and said enthusiastically:

"Yes, yes, Cao has been slow to treat the princess these days, and he still wants to ask His Royal Highness Duan Wang to plead guilty, the princess can intercede for me!"

In fact, he brought Zhao Fujin just in case, if the coup d'etat in the capital could not be caught up and King Duan really succeeded in seizing the throne, he would come to the same place to worship and get married, first to recognize his father-in-law.

If it still doesn't work, she can also be a hostage when she runs away.

To Cao Bin's surprise, Bao Zheng was also waiting at the pier.

"Juncai, Mr. Bao is going back to Beijing to report on his work, can we take a short boat?"

Cao Bin was overjoyed, another hostage came...

The Song Dynasty has convenient water transportation and developed commerce and trade. The only disadvantage is that there are too many merchant ships, which easily block the river.

Cao Bin's boat was not small, and it was more likely to get stuck. When he sailed day and night and rushed to the capital at high speed, it was already the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

This day is the date of the great dynasty agreed with Pan Renmei.

He rushed to the south gate of the capital with his personal guards, and saw that the gate of Bianjing was closed and heavily guarded, Cao Bin not only became nervous, but also knew that the critical moment had come.

At this time, Wu Song stepped forward holding the official document of the Privy Council and shouted:

"Zhong Jinghou is ordered to return to Beijing, open the city gate quickly!"

Liuniang and Qiniang of the Yang family at the head of the city poked their heads down, looked at Cao Bin and the others and shouted:

"There is an order from Zhongshu. Today, the city is under martial law, and no one is allowed to enter or leave."

"Brother Bin, take Lord Bao to the outskirts of the city to rest first, the imperial court will summon you soon."

When he saw the female general of the Yang family, Cao Bin knew that Pan Renmei had been tricked.

The power in his hands is not as good as others, and now that the plan is exposed, there is basically no possibility of winning.

Looking at the sun, which had risen to a height of ten feet, Cao Bin had the urge to turn around and leave.

The Great Court Meeting has been going on for a long time, and perhaps the position of the heir has been confirmed now, even if he goes in by himself, it may not change anything.

So hard to kill Zhao Ji directly?

Not to mention whether it can be successful, even if it is successful, it will become a public enemy of the world.

Cao Bin didn't hesitate for long, raised his gun and shouted:

"Liu Niang Qi Niang, let me enter the city, otherwise I will attack the city!"

He still didn't want to give up after all.

Following his yell, the guards behind him immediately yelled together, raised their crossbows and aimed at the top of the city.

The faces of the second female general of the Yang family and Bao Zheng changed greatly, and the soldiers at the top of the city also raised their crossbows.

Liu Niang hurriedly shouted:

"Brother Bin, don't mess around."

"As long as you retreat, we will never sue you. Even in the court, Wang Xiang, Mr. Kou and my Yang family will protect you..."

Hearing this, Cao Bin couldn't help laughing, is he trying to recruit himself into the gang?
