[Comprehensive] Host, welcome

"Bao, Bao, Bao Qingtian, Master Bao is here—"

A scream of excitement resounded through the sky, breaking Chen Zhou's previous calm under strong pressure.

………………

A dead silence.

Someone recovered from the daze, "Master Bao? Which Master Bao?"

"Bao, Bao, Bao..." Someone flushed with excitement, unable to speak clearly, grabbed the shoulder of the person next to him, with tears in his eyes, "Yes, it is Bao Qingtian, Bao Qingtian from Kaifeng Mansion, that, that Mr. Bao, who is not afraid of power and avenges the people's grievances!"

"Master Bao is here, our hard days are finally coming to an end!" Someone danced and cheered.

"Shh, keep your voice down. Are you trying to kill yourself by shouting so loudly!? Don't be afraid that being heard by An Lehou will kill you." The tone was full of panic.

"Who is still afraid of him! Who is Mr. Bao? He is the most upright and selfless official. How many dignitaries died under his three guillotines, many of whom are royal family and nobles. I think An Lehou is going to be doomed this time. "

"Don't be too happy first." Some people broke the cold water, "Who is An Lehou, the son of the grand master, the younger brother of the empress in the palace, they can make him have trouble? I am afraid that when the wind blows on the empress's pillow, the emperor will let Mr. Bao Let him go."

Although some people poured cold water on them, the common people still gathered on the street by coincidence, with long-lost smiles on their faces and hope shining in their eyes, welcoming the person who might be able to save them.

The sound of gongs came, and the people immediately stretched their necks excitedly to look around.

The sedan chair curtain was raised high, and the common people could clearly see Bao Zheng sitting in the sedan chair, and they cried out again.

"That's Lord Bao!"

"It is said that Mr. Bao's face is very dark, it is true!"

"It's no wonder those bad guys fell into Mr. Bao's hands. I, who haven't done anything bad, feel terrified when I see him."

"Oh, look at the center of his forehead, there is still a crescent moon!"

"Do you think Mr. Bao is like Zhong Kui? Isn't the Zhong Kui in the legend the one with iron face and curly temples, strange appearance, upright spirit, and uprightness?"

"My dear, it really does look alike. I understood right away when you said it. Isn't Zhong Kui the one who subdues demons and eliminates demons to defend the Tao? These villains are like ghosts in the world. Mr. Bao is the reincarnation of Zhong Kui, so it is natural to get rid of them." them."

This unfounded speculation quickly spread among the people, and the oppressed and breathless people believed that Bao Zheng could save them from suffering.

"No, no, it's not good, An Lehou is here—"

A scream of fear sounded, and the people froze immediately. Some pretty girls who hadn't been touched by Pang Yu immediately shrunk their shoulders and lowered their heads, wishing there was a hole in the ground for them to crawl in.

The Hou Mansion's army slowly approached from another direction, including infantry, cavalry, and archers, and their momentum was obviously much larger than Bao Zheng's imperial envoy.And An Lehou himself sat on the chariot seat pulled by four tall horses, casually resting his elbows on the armrests, and resting his cheeks with his fists.

The two teams stopped at a distance of ten meters. Bao Zheng straightened his official hat, got out of the sedan chair, walked unhurriedly to the middle of the open space, bowed and cupped his hands and said, "My humble minister, Bao Zheng, pay homage to An Lehou."

The common people all held their breath and watched this dragon-tiger battle with their eyes wide open.

Pang Yu condescendingly looked at Bao Zheng for a while, then sat upright, and said coldly: "Since Mr. Bao is coming to Chenzhou today, why didn't you send someone to notify you in advance, so that the magistrate of Huaiyang Prefecture can welcome you. This Marquis can also hold a banquet to welcome Mr. Bao."

"You are welcome, Lord Hou." Bao Zheng raised his head and looked at An Lehou with sharp eyes. Even though he was in a low position, his aura was not reduced by half. Assassinate the court officials!"

Pang Yu laughed "haha" twice, and said, "I heard that Mr. Bao has many people's blood donations on his hands. I am not surprised that someone wants to kill you."

Bao Zheng squinted his eyes and raised his voice: "This government has always been impartial and selfless. Anyone who kills is the one who deserves to be killed. He has no shame in front of the emperor! No matter how high his status is or how powerful he is, as long as he violates the law, even if this government loses Putting off the official hat and fighting for the head of Bao Zheng, I want him to be brought to justice!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone present was shocked.

The temperature in An Lehou's eyes dropped instantly, he stared fixedly at Bao Zheng, and said after a while, "Good! Good! Good! Mr. Bao is really a good official, but..." He changed the subject, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "This kind of person is usually a short-lived ghost!"

Bao Zheng cupped his hands and said calmly: "Please rest assured, Lord Hou, I will definitely live longer than the evildoers!"

"It's almost on the verge of breaking out! Is it about to start a fight?"

Bai Yutang couldn't hide the excitement on his face.

"Can you think in a better direction. Pang Yu's army is obviously larger than the people around Bao Zheng. No matter how powerful Zhan Zhao is, they are hard to beat with two fists. Now is not the time to tear your face."

Princess Leping was sitting on the roof with Bai Yutang at this moment, watching the situation below.

In order to prevent Pang Yu from taking the risk, he really publicly assassinated Bao Zheng in the market. Princess Leping and the five mice of Xiaokong Island were on the beams of the house to see if anyone shot Bao Zheng in the back.

Princess Leping was very glad that she did not mix with Shui Pan and the others among the imperial envoys, otherwise she would have saluted Pang Yu?

snort!Does Pang Yu dare to accept her gift?

Bao Zheng and Pang Yu were still fighting fiercely with their eyes, making the people around them terrified. The people on both sides clenched their weapons tightly, and rushed towards each other as soon as an order was given.

Finally, Pang Yu sneered, "Master Bao, there will be a meeting later!"

After all of Pang Yu's men and horses had left, everyone's hearts hung high and they returned to their original places.

Bao Zheng arrived at the Yamen of the prefect of Huaining Prefecture safe and sound all the way.

"Jiang Ming, the prefect of Huaining Prefecture, sees your lord." Jiang Ming, the prefect of Huaining Prefecture, hurried out to greet him.

"Master Jiang is exempt."

Jiang Ming led Bao Zheng into the main hall, and said, "My lord, please sit up. May I ask my lord, what instructions does your lord have when you come to Chenzhou?"

"This mansion is here to check out the relief. Where is the servant of the household department, Mr. Li, who came to release the relief?"

Jiang Ming was silent for a while, then lowered his eyes and said, "Lord Li has been missing for a long time!"

Bao Zheng slapped the table hard and shouted, "Since he has been missing for a long time, why didn't he report it to the court!?"

Jiang Ming hurriedly said: "My lord, the lower officials also want to go to the court. But An Lehou is powerful and has many ears and eyes. The lower officials keep their words light, for fear that they will not be heard by the heavens. If they fail to draw tigers, they will bring disasters instead. This is... ..."

"Absurd!" Bao Zheng said angrily, "Master Li is an imperial envoy, and he was ordered by the Holy Majesty to come to relieve the disaster. The Holy Majesty is worried about the famine in Chenzhou, and has been waiting for the news that Master Li brought back to Chenzhou for many days. Who knows about Master Li's news?" Nothing at all, the Holy One is even more anxious! As a subject, you can't share the worries of the Holy One but increase his troubles, Mr. Jiang, are you finally loyal to the emperor or loyal to Marquis Anle!?"

A big hat of disloyalty to the emperor was buttoned down, and Jiang Ming's knees softened and he knelt down on the ground, kowtowing and shouting: "Master Bao, this official has no second thoughts about the emperor! It's just, it's just that An Lehou is the uncle of the dynasty after all, The lower officials really dare not disobey him. Master Li is a lesson from the past!"

"Oh?" Master Bao narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Tell me about Master Li's affairs in detail."

"Yes! Mr. Li was invited into the Marquis Mansion by An Lehou when he first entered Chenzhou. The official was also there at the time. An Lehou said that Mr. Li was exhausted all the way and needed a good rest. Let him do the food distribution and disaster relief. Yes. Mr. Li dare not disobey the order of the uncle of the court. Besides, he just entered Chenzhou, so he doesn't know what kind of person An Lehou is..." Jiang Ming said in a more tactful way, even behind his back, He didn't dare to speak ill of Pang Yu either.

"How did An Lehou release the relief?"

In addition to what Princess Leping and the others knew, Pang Yu also brutally slaughtered the squires in Chenzhou, forcing each of them to donate [-] tans of grain.

Jiang Ming sighed, "Master Li was very shocked by An Lehou's behavior, but in view of the status of Lord Marquis, he could only swallow his bitterness back into his stomach. Master Li wanted to take back the right to release relief many times later, In the end, not only did he not get it back, but he also angered Lord Hou. Later, Mr. Li wrote a letter and handed it to the subordinate officer, and then disappeared."

"That letter is from you...?" Bao Zheng looked at him in surprise.

"As the official of Chenzhou's parents, the lower official also wants to be a good official and be the master of the people. It's just that Marquis An Le is very powerful, and the lower official finally chose to ignore it and let him run rampant."

"Not only that, but in the end you chose to collude with him and fall into a crime, causing Tian Qiyuan's unjust case, right?"

"The housekeeper of the Hou's Mansion came to the county government office to convey Lord Hou's order, and the subordinate officials had no choice but to do so. If the subordinate officials did not do this, they would have disappeared like Mr. Li."

"Even so, as the official of Chen Zhou's parents, you are afraid of power and oppress the people. Are you guilty?"

"The next official is guilty!"

"The government will take off your black hat first, and suspend you. You will be released after the case is investigated. Are you convinced?"

"The prisoner is convinced."

"Are you willing to testify in court for what An Lehou has done illegally?"

"The prisoner is willing!" Jiang Ming cupped his hands and said, "If your lord can bring An Lehou to justice, the prisoner is here to thank you for the people of Chenzhou."

Bao Zheng thought for a while and asked, "Master Jiang, where is Ruanhongtang?"

"In the southwest suburbs."

"Okay, after a short rest, let's go to Ruanhongtang."
