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

"He heard that Liangshan has been favored by the Nine Heavens Xuannv, and there will be a hundred and eight star masters gathering in the future."

"So I plan to overwhelm them with the main star song."

"It is said among the people that Mr. Bao is Wenqu Xingjun who descended to the world."

"That's why he's going to search the whole city for... the black man, pretending to be Lord Bao to lead the army, borrowing the immortal energy of Xingjun, and restraining the Liangshan bandits!"

As he said that, Zhan Zhao's expression became more and more strange: "Uncle Zhongjing said that if this arrangement is made, Liangshan will definitely be defeated."

After listening to Zhan Zhao's narration, Gongsun Ce sprayed out the tea directly.

This kind of idea, people who haven't had cerebral hemorrhage for three years, can't think of it.

But thinking about Cao Bin's dandyism, I don't think it's so strange. Didn't he also make a living out of funerals?

At this time, Bao Zheng also finished reading the content of the notice, and his already dark face became even darker. He threw the notice on the table and said angrily:

"Nonsense! Absurd!"

After a long while, Bao Zheng finally came to his senses, shook his head speechlessly and said, "What do you think, Mr. Gongsun?"

Gongsun Ce thought for a while and said, "Although Uncle Zhongjing is absurd, he probably doesn't have the guts to mess around like this?"

Bao Zheng pondered for a moment, picked up the notice again and looked at it for a while, and said: "I'm afraid he already knows that the government has arrived in Jeju, and he is forcing me to show up!"

Gongsun Ce suddenly realized, nodded and said:

"Yes, the reason why he is so absurd is that he is sure that the adults will not be indifferent. After all, it is related to the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent young adults, and it is also related to the reputation of the adults."

Zhan Zhao hurriedly asked, "Should I call back the Kaifeng government servant?"

Bao Zheng shook his head and said: "No need for now, please trouble Zhan guards to quietly send a letter to Uncle Zhongjing, saying that the government is waiting for him here..."

......

[Taking Bingjia as a joke, discussing military matters indiscriminately, is in line with the behavior of a dandy, and the score of a dandy: 2800. 】

After Cao Bin issued the announcement, a reminder rang in his ears, and he quickly turned on the system to check,

Minute.

There are still 1100 points left to buy Yang Youji's top shooting skills.

When there is a mission for the court, as long as he does not do his job properly and performs poorly in his daily life, he can get 200 points, which is twice as much as usual.

After more than a month of sporadic scoring in Shandong and half a month of poor performance in Beijing, he was only three or four thousand points away.

He guessed that he only got 2800 points this time, because he didn't really do something like sending troops indiscriminately.

Thinking of this kind of idea, although Cao Bin also felt that it was absurd, it was not unheard of in real history.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, when the soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin approached the city, the emperor and ministers of the Song court planned to let the master cast spells to defeat the enemy.

The result is also very clear. All the royal ministers were taken into captivity, and the princess Guiji was humiliated, which is a rare shame in all dynasties.

This is "stupid" in the same way as Cao Bin's current idea.

After receiving Bao Zheng's letter, Cao Bin happily went there with his sedan chair.

In this meeting, even if he couldn't be carried out to fight Chang Feng, he couldn't be allowed to stand on the sidelines.

If he still holds the idea of ​​killing himself, Chang Feng and others, then stop playing with him.

"Uncle Zhongjing, you are so courageous!"

In the evening, just as Cao Bin walked into a residential house according to the agreement, Bao Zheng came to show off his authority.

This is a very ordinary residential house. In the dim room, only one candle is lit, and the light is not enough.

Bao Zheng sat at the main seat, Zhan Zhao and Gongsun Ce stood beside him.

In a very ordinary bedroom, they put on the posture of three courts.

Cao Bin kicked in and out of the door. When he heard this, he stopped in his tracks and said:

"Master Bao called me here today, is it because he wants to interrogate me?"

"If that's the case, then I'm leaving?"

With that, he turned to leave.

Bao Zheng frowned and said, "Could it be that this government can't interrogate you?"

Cao Bin turned his head and said:

"Master Bao is a serious imperial envoy. He has a higher official position than me, so he can interrogate me naturally! But what is my crime?"

"Besides, Mr. Bao invited me late at night just to interrogate me in a private house? Isn't this against the law of the court?"

Bao Zheng said: "Building soft red halls, robbing civilian women, accepting bribes, raising food prices, conspiring with local gentry to embezzle state money and food, how do you explain it?"

Cao Bin laughed and said:

"If Lord Bao asks Cao to cooperate, I will naturally explain clearly and prove my innocence."

"If Mr. Bao intends to interrogate me, please follow the court rules and set up a court, and I am willing to confront me in court!"

Hearing Cao Bin's remarks, Bao Zheng's expression relaxed a little, which shows that Cao Bin is indeed confusing the local officials as he guessed.

"Guard Zhan, watch for Uncle Zhongjing!"

Only then did Cao Bin show a satisfied smile, secretly proud of himself.

It's really not easy, after so long messing around, I finally stopped having a direct dialogue with Bao Zheng as a prisoner.

Cao Bin was not too polite, he sat down directly on Bao Zheng's head, and said, "Master Bao called me, what's your order?"

Gongsun Ce couldn't help but rolled his eyes, didn't you insist on blowing up Mr. Bao?Otherwise, Mr. Bao won't bother to talk to you!

However, he didn't study it carefully, he just reminded: "Uncle Zhong Jing should prove his innocence first."

Cao Bin waved his hands and said, "Those are all nonsense."

"Ruanhongtang is just a name made up by others."

"The gold and silver treasures inside, beauties and young women, I have clearly recorded all of them, and they have not been touched at all. I plan to hand them over to the imperial court."

"And I also reported the account book to Taishi Pang, so he can prove my innocence?"

Hearing this, Bao Zheng's expression immediately relaxed a little, and he also felt a little more relieved:

"Uncle Zhongjing did this for another purpose, right? Can you tell me about the future plan?"

Cao Bin smiled and said, "Didn't Mr. Bao already guess my purpose?"

Bao Zheng smiled slightly, stroked his beard and said:

"We have indeed seen some clues, but Uncle Zhongjing has spent nearly 200 million guan on disaster relief food."

"Even if food prices drop sharply, how will you solve the next rations for the victims?"

"The existing food reserves alone may not be enough to support the autumn harvest!"

Cao Bin said very easily:

"What's the problem? No cronies are monolithic."

"As long as I give enough benefits, I can naturally select a group of irrelevant grain merchants and officials, and put them in jail."

"Even the evidence of their accepting and giving bribes is readily available!"

"You don't need Cao to do it yourself, Mr. Chang and other officials will do it for me."

"Their property may not be enough to make up for the current loss, but it is still possible to ensure the supply of the victims."

As he spoke, he laughed:

"What's more, Mr. Bao is here, like a sharp sword hanging over everyone's heads, I am more confident in persuading them!"

"It's just that I don't know how they will react."

What can be the reaction?

It's nothing more than fleeing with the money, or joining forces to cheat, or killing the fish and breaking the net, no matter what kind of result, Bao Zheng is not willing to see.

He said with a gloomy face:

"The Shandong appeasement envoy is the biggest culprit of the local officials. Is Uncle Zhong Jing going to join forces with them?"

Cao Bin sighed:

"The water of the Yellow River is turbid, and the water of the Yangtze River is clear, but both of them irrigate countless fields on both banks, and the imperial court will not give up because of the turbidity of the Yellow River."

"Cao doesn't have as much power as Mr. Bao. As long as he can save the victims, how can he care whether he is an honest or corrupt official?"

Bao Zheng was stunned for a moment, as if he understood Cao Bin's thoughts, but Gongsun Ce said:

"Uncle Zhongjing tripled the price of grain, and the benefits were shared by corrupt officials."

"These are all the food that the imperial court distributes to the victims, how can Uncle have the heart to dig out the food from the mouths of the hungry victims and let them embezzle?

Cao Bin glanced at him and said:

"Mr. Gongsun, do you know how much food the disaster victims received every day when we first arrived in Shandong?"

"It's less than half a catty!"

"Nine days of cold winters, there is no tile to cover the body, and this less than half a catty of grain can make the victims breathe a sigh of relief, which is already blessed by God."

"If I don't try to be flexible, what you see will not be countless victims, but a pile of bones!"

After he finished speaking, he paused and said:

"Do you think I'm willing to let those officials corrupt? They eat me and watch? Am I crazy or stupid?"

"How many honest officials are dedicated to the people? If I don't feed them first, will they carry out my orders without compromise?"

"At that time, I'm afraid they will be corrupt in the east and corrupt in the west, and use my order as a tool for their corruption!"

"...Even if this is the case, there are officials and grain merchants who don't know how to live or die, and mix moldy grain into disaster relief food!"

"If I hadn't discovered it early, I would have informed Mr. Chang to kill them to frighten the crowd. I don't know how many victims would die and how big an accident would be!"

Bao Zheng waved his hand and said:

"Uncle Zhongjing doesn't need to cover up the murder, the government already knows the details."

"Although this matter has not been reported to the court for review, it can be done urgently."

"In that case, a little carelessness will lead to a civil uprising, and military law can be temporarily imposed!"

"You don't have to worry about future troubles. Although this government enforces the law strictly, it is not a person who does not know how to adapt."

After finishing speaking, he pondered for a long while, then nodded and said:

"At such a young age, you can have such a comprehension, but it surprises the government!"

"However, things cannot be done this way. If you collude with Chang Feng, the government will not stand by and watch, nor will it indulge those who corrupt and harm the people."

At this time, Gongsun Ce suddenly reacted, and quickly bowed deeply:

"Gongsun Ziwen has traveled all over the world, and he is well-informed, but in the overall situation, he is not as much as Uncle Cao."

Cao Bin laughed and said:

"In fact, Cao doesn't have to rely on Chang Feng's position to act."

"If Mr. Bao can stand up and fully cooperate with Cao, it will naturally be a swift and messy battle, and all corrupt officials will be wiped out."

"At that time, not only will the imperial court have no losses, but they may even make a fortune."

"And Mr. Bao doesn't need to bother searching for their criminal evidence, because all their criminal evidence is in my hands."

Hearing this, Bao Zheng couldn't help crying and laughing, it turned out that he was waiting for him here.

At this time, he couldn't help being suspicious, wondering if Cao Bin planned to wipe out those corrupt officials from the beginning.

First take the initiative to let them be greedy, and then take it out to search the house, one-stop service.

This is fishing law enforcement, right?

When encountering such an unruly person like Cao Bin, those officials are probably burned for three lifetimes!

However, his appetite is really not small. If "all" officials in Shandong, not to mention the capital city, even the officialdom of the entire Song Dynasty would be shaken by three points.

Even Bao Zheng hesitated to do this kind of thing, not because he was afraid, but because he was worried about the instability of the court.
