Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng

Some things, some people, it can only be - but we know each other when we meet each other, and seeing each other is like not seeing each other.

Standing outside the palace, Gongsun Ce lowered his eyes. In front of him, a soft sedan chair was slowly walking towards the palace gate. When the soft sedan chair was about to pass by, Gongsun Ce knelt down and faced the guards outside the palace gate. The soft sedan salutes.Gongsun Ce lowered his eyebrows, but just as he was about to enter the palace gate, the soft sedan stopped suddenly.

"Gongsun Ce?" A pleasant voice sounded, and this voice was very familiar to Gongsun Ce.

Gongsun Ce clenched his hands slightly, but he sighed in his heart.

"Yes, grass-roots Gongsun Ce, pay my respects to your mother." Gongsun Ce bowed his hands in a respectful tone.

"Gongsun Ce, what are you doing here? Where's Bao Zheng?" Concubine Pang Feiyan in the sedan chair asked with frowned eyebrows, wanting to raise the curtain to see the person she couldn't let go of until now, but she couldn't. many.

"Bao Zheng was summoned by the Holy Majesty, and the grassroots are waiting here." Gongsun Ce said in a low voice.

When Pang Feiyan heard it, she thought for a while, and then she spoke, her voice was soft and more mellow, "Oh, that's it. Gongsun Ce, wait slowly. I won't talk to you anymore." After finishing speaking, Pang Feiyan He raised his hand to signal the sedan chair to set off.

Gongsun Ce bowed his head respectfully and sent him off.

After the soft sedan chair left, Gongsun Ce got up, seeing that the soft sedan chair had disappeared at the palace gate, Gongsun Ce's heart was full of thoughts, did Pang Tong rush back to the capital?Now that the situation in the Pang Mansion is like this, and Cui Mingchong is an official in the local area, he cannot rush back to the capital. There are only Pang Feiyan and Pang Yu in the capital, and Pang Yu is still a young man. Can he support the Pang Mansion?Obviously not, I'm afraid that Pang Feiyan will bear all the pressure alone.

And last night, after Bao Zheng's analysis, I'm afraid... the one who wants to put Taishi Pang to death is the one who sits on the dragon chair.But that person is now Pang Feiyan's husband.

The Imperial Palace, Pang Mansion, and Pang Feiyan are afraid that life will be difficult now.

And these have never happened in the previous life.In her previous life, ever since Pang Feiyan entered the palace, Pang Feiyan had always received great favor.

Gongsun Ce sighed softly in his heart, but now, he can't do anything, and he can't do anything, thinking about last night, when Bao Zheng fell asleep with him, what Bao Zheng whispered to him when he hugged him With those words, Gongsun Ce couldn't help but feel hot on his face.

——"Unless we should be separated after death, there will be no parting in life. Ah Ce, I have this heart for you."

——"Ah Ce, don't worry about it. Fame and benefits are nothing but floating clouds, so what if the world criticizes me? I, Bao Zheng, want to be worthy of my heart all my life."

——"Ah Ce, if you don't want to, don't leave me. I will definitely not make things difficult for you. Just... I hope you don't give up."

……

How could he despise Bao Zheng?

If he disliked him, why would he think so much about Bao Zheng?

Gongsun Ce raised his head to look at the sky, he saw no blue sky today, only a gloomy one, just like the situation in the capital at this time, just like the bewilderment in his heart.

He didn't know how to respond to Bao Zheng's sincere words last night.But fortunately, Bao Zheng said that he would not embarrass himself, and promised not to mention it again. He still has some time to think about it.Now, the most important thing is Taishi Pang's case.

Bao Zheng's conjecture was very accurate. He knew a little bit about the strangeness in Pang Taishi's case from his previous life.

However, Bao Zheng speculated that Kou Zhu committed suicide with a purpose, but the purpose should be the Eight Sage Kings instead of Grand Master Pang.At the same time, the person who pushed Kou Zhu to complete his purposeful suicide was someone who wanted the Eight Sage Kings to fall into a whirlpool.

But who is this person?

Gongsun Ce had a vague guess in his heart, but he couldn't believe it, while Bao Zheng probably should have known, but he couldn't bring it up because the case was unclear.

At the same time, Bao Zheng speculated that Taishi Pang knew that there was a conspiracy against the Eight Wise Kings, and in order to save the Eight Wise Kings, Pang Taishi voluntarily fell into the whirlpool instead.

Gongsun Ce was astonished by this, but looking at the current clues, even if it was hard to believe, he had to believe it.Thinking about Grand Master Pang's suicide in his previous life and the death of the Eight Sage King... Gongsun Ce couldn't help but have a guess in his heart.

——Could it be that "there is no parting before death"?

No!Gongsun Ce shook his head desperately, that's incredible!

"A Ce!" Suddenly, a pair of big hands pressed Gongsun Ce's head to prevent him from shaking his head, and at the same time, a deep and worried voice sounded.

Gongsun Ce regained his senses and looked at Bao Zheng standing in front of him. Bao Zheng frowned, his eyes worried, Gongsun Ce smiled hurriedly, "You are back."

"What were you thinking just now?" Bao Zheng let go of Gongsun Ce's head, stared at Gongsun Ce, and asked.

"Um, it's nothing." Gongsun Ce sneered, he couldn't tell Bao Zheng that he was just wondering if there was a relationship between Grand Master Pang and the Eight Wise Kings.

"Go back." Bao Zheng took a deep look at Gongsun Ce, knowing that Gongsun Ce didn't want to talk, so he didn't ask any more. After all, Ah Ce's thoughts and concerns, he would know sooner or later.A Ce never hid anything from him.

The two walked away from the palace slowly, and when they finally got away from the palace, Gongsun Ce turned to look at Bao Zheng and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

Bao Zheng frowned slightly, the face-to-face matter was far more serious than he had imagined, the words of the Holy Master seemed to be concerned about Grand Master Pang, but in fact he asked Bao Zheng to deal with it impartially, justly?If it is dealt with impartially, based on the current evidence, Grand Master Pang will find it difficult to wash away his grievances!Not to mention, Grand Master Pang is still hiding something.

"This matter is difficult to deal with." Bao Zheng said with a helpless tone.

The current situation is no longer as simple as investigating the case. The problem now is how to keep Grand Master Pang among the various forces.

When Gongsun Ce heard Bao Zheng's words, he stopped asking.

"Shall we go back now?" Gongsun Ce changed the subject.

"No, go see Taishi Pang." Bao Zheng said, pulling Gongsun Ce past him and turning into the alley.

Gongsun Ce was a little taken aback, hey, isn't this the way to go to the palace for sacrifice?But looking at the people who hurriedly followed behind him, Gongsun Ce understood, but then worried, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were sent out by Bao Zheng to check things today, and now they are powerless... Hey, No, wait.It is impossible for anyone to be against them at this time!

Bao Zheng and he are both investigating the case. People from Pang Taishi’s faction will never let them die, and neither will the Eight Sage Kings. As for the emperor, if he really intends to use this incident to make Pang Taishi step down If so, then surely they would not take action against Bao Zheng and him.

So, who is this person?

Gongsun Ce was pulled a step behind by Bao Zheng, and when he looked up, the person who slowly took off his straw hat turned out to be——

"Long time no see. Lord Bao, Mr. Gongsun." The visitor said, smiling, but the smile was so loose, and this person was wearing tattered clothes, and his face was covered with dust and sand.There is no refined and noble appearance in Qinghe County at all.

"General Pang, it's been a long time. This place is not the place to talk. When I come back from Grand Master Pang, I will talk to the general. The Baijia Tavern not far from here is a good place. General Pang, take this and go to rest. As Bao Zheng said, he took off the jade pendant and threw it to Pang Tong.

Pang Tong took it, and nodded slowly, "So, I will trouble you, sir."

Bao Zheng just responded indifferently, "Bao Zheng can tell right from wrong." After finishing speaking, Bao Zheng pulled Gongsun Ce over, turned around and walked out of the alley quickly.

After Gongsun Ce walked out of the alley, he asked in a low voice, "When did Pang Tong return?"

"I don't know, it's just that I saw the person following behind me today, so I guessed it was him. Grand Master Pang has already informed the world about this, and Pang Tong should have known about it a long time ago, and he will definitely come back." Bao Zheng said, tightening his grip on Gongsun Holding Ce's hand, he instructed in a low voice, "Pang Tong is both good and evil, just like Grand Master Pang, you and I don't need to be overly cautious in dealing with things, but we shouldn't be too close."

"Yes, I understand." Gongsun Ce nodded.I agree with Bao Zheng's teachings of both good and evil.

Although Pang Tong in his previous life was always an enemy of the Kaifeng Mansion, if he was involved in major national affairs and the safety of the Song Dynasty, he would put the past conflicts aside.For example, they didn't deal with the Yang family, but when the Yang family was trapped in the frontier, they sent troops to fight and rescued the Yang family.

When he came to the palace, Grand Master Pang was playing chess alone.

"Here you come? Sit down, how about a hand-to-hand discussion?" Grand Master Pang stared at the chessboard. While speaking, he glanced at the hands held by Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce unconsciously. lip.

"Yes." Bao Zheng replied simply, let go of Gongsun Ce's hand, and sat down opposite Grand Master Pang.He picked up a chess piece casually and started playing chess.

Gongsun Ce walked behind Bao Zheng and looked down at the chess game.Looking at it this way, Gongsun Ce slightly raised his eyebrows, and the corner of his mouth raised a chuckle, the grand master's chess skills are indeed advanced, but Bao Zheng is not bad, looking at it this way, I am afraid that the final result of this game should be a draw, right?

"Won't the Grand Master ask?" Bao Zheng dropped his hand. At this moment, it seemed that the game was about to end, but Grand Master Pang hadn't asked anything yet.Bao Zheng frowned inwardly. Sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy?Grand Master Pang was so calm.

"Ask what?" Grand Master Pang looked up at Bao Zheng, casually.

"Grand Master, can you tell Bao Zheng what is the relationship between Kou Zhu and the Eight Sage Kings?" Bao Zheng asked in a deep voice, cupping his hands.

Grand Master Pang put down the chess pieces, looked up at Bao Zheng, his eyes were sharp and cold, "Bao Zheng, I said that this matter has nothing to do with the Eight Sage Kings, you should know who I am sitting here for, if you Involve him in the case, and I will never forgive you!"

When Bao Zheng heard this, he smiled lightly, as expected.

"In this case, Bao Zheng will find out." Bao Zheng said, put down the chess piece casually, stood up and looked at Grand Master Pang, "Grand Master, just like this chess, who knows the result before it reaches the end?"

Grand Master Pang just raised his eyebrows and stopped talking.

Gongsun Ce walked behind Bao Zheng, and before leaving the palace, he looked at Grand Master Pang who was sitting in front of the chessboard and staring at the chessboard, and said in a low voice, "Did the Grand Master ever ask the Eight Sage Kings, and the current situation is what he wants?" want to see?"

Grand Master Pang paused when he was about to put down the chess piece, but then he put it down firmly.

Seeing this, Gongsun Ce sighed softly, turned around and walked out of the palace.

"It's useless for you to talk to him. His stubbornness is the same as mine." Bao Zheng pulled Gongsun Ce over and whispered.

But Gongsun Ce suddenly stopped, and looked at Bao Zheng firmly, "If there is such a thing between you and me one day, you know, I would rather smash my body into ten thousand pieces than you do this."

Bao Zheng was startled for a moment, then he glared and reprimanded in a low voice, "No nonsense!"

Gongsun Ce lowered his eyebrows and remained silent.

Bao Zheng glanced around. Although the palace was heavily guarded, the place where Kou Zhu's body was placed was not so tightly guarded. It happened that the place where they were standing was behind a big tree, which was covered by a big tree. Angles are also hard to spot.

Bao Zheng stretched out his arms, hugged Gongsun Ce in his arms, hugged him tightly, and whispered in a hoarse voice, "Ace, don't do this, you and I are fine, I will definitely guard you well. You I'm not them, don't put their business on us."

Gongsun Ce raised his head slightly, looked at Bao Zheng, nodded slowly, and said in a low voice, "It's better than anything if you're well." Even if it really broke his body to pieces, he would have no complaints.

——Thinking of this, Gongsun Ce smiled wryly in his heart. He, Gongsun Ce, has a long way to go in this life, and he will not abandon you?

——It turns out that he already had the determination to live and die together?
