Go to Kaifeng to be a civil servant

In June, the morning breeze blows people to wake up, the sun slowly rises and the sun clears, the light clouds move like silk willows, and the dewdrops are gradually brightened.

"Aha-"

Jin Qian yawned towards the sky, and walked towards the main entrance of the government office with a bitter face.

Tsk tsk, these workaholics in Kaifeng Mansion really donate money, life, and overtime pay to the country—yesterday, they tossed all day, and before dawn today, they sent our gang of miserable workers all over the city to post The notice said that he would be promoted to the court for questioning...

Tell me what case you are asking this early in the morning... Gongsun Zhuzi is even more extreme, insisting on sending us to the gate of the government office to invite the people to enter the office for trial—is there a mistake? !The rooster doesn't even get up, how can there be any common people?According to our idea, it is best to go back and sleep for a few hours before going to the hall, maybe there will be a few people to watch the excitement.

But when Jin Qian walked to the main gate of the mansion, he looked up and couldn't help being a little dumbfounded.

Hell, don't these ancient people need to sleep?

I saw that in front of the main gate of the Chenzhou government office, there were three circles inside and three circles outside, densely surrounded by nearly a hundred people, all stretching their necks, pointing their toes, wanting to take a moment to look inside the government office, and still talking in their mouths They all have excuses: "Hey, what do you think is going on? Why did you say that Bao Qingtian was dead yesterday, why did another Master Bao come out and post a notice saying that he is going to be promoted?"

"I heard that Mr. Gongsun next to Mr. Bao is a strange person. He may have the ability to bring the dead back to life and save Mr. Bao."

"I've said it a long time ago, Mr. Bao is the star of Wenqu, how could he die so casually?!"

"Hey—you said that Mr. Bao was promoted today, who is he going to interrogate?"

"Who knows then?"

"Stop arguing, aren't we all looking in?"

The muttering of one or two people may be inaudible, but the muttering of hundreds of people gathered in one place is like the humming of drums and gongs, directly shaking the eardrums.

At the gate of the government office, more than a dozen officials and servants lined up, holding the handles of their knives tightly, and blocking the people in front of the gate.Don't look at these yamen servants who are usually domineering and majestic, but now facing such a large number of people gathered, they can't help but feel a little timid. All of them looked nervous and shouted in a panic: "The government is important!" Do not linger! Let go, let go!"

Those common people didn't dare to rush in the door, they just crowded in front of the steps of the gate of the government office, guessing endlessly, but they didn't disperse.

The dozen or so guards yelled a few times, but it was useless. When they were distressed, a sharp-eyed man happened to see Jin Qian who was walking towards the gate, as if seeing a straw, he couldn't help shouting loudly: "Okay, okay, the officials from Kaifeng Mansion are here."

When those common people heard this, they became even more energetic, and all of them stared at the door with rounded eyes.

I saw a slender servant walk out while yawning, he glanced at everyone with a bitter face, cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, everyone, Mr. Bao said that no matter who is willing, You can enter the Yamen to listen to the trial."

When those common people heard this, they were silent for a moment, with startled expressions on their faces. Even the gatekeepers at the gate were surprised. Hundreds of pairs of eyes were fixed on the thin and thin guards in front of the gate.

Jin Qian felt uncomfortable being stared at by everyone, he couldn't help feeling a little puzzled, and thought: Tsk, I just let them enter the yamen to listen in, why do these people look like they saw a Superman wearing underwear?

I saw a gatekeeper hurriedly walked to Jin Qian's side, and said in a low voice: "Brother, it seems that it is against the rules to let the people enter the government office to listen."

"Huh?" Jin Qian was surprised.

The officer said again: "Where is this important place where anyone can enter? Even if you want to observe, you should only allow country gentry, people with fame, or prominent people in the city to listen in. How can it be the turn of these country weeds?" Let the people enter. Besides, let these common people enter the yamen... If something goes wrong, none of us can afford it."

Jin Qian blinked his eyelids, and then he understood, and thought: In ancient times, feelings are divided into three or six grades when entering the court to listen in?Ah, if I knew it earlier, we would set up a stall at the main entrance to collect tickets, so we could earn some extra money.Tsk tsk, that Gongsun Zhuzi didn't make it clear, wasting a chance to make a fortune.

Thinking of this, Jin Qian couldn't help feeling a little regretful, shook his head slightly, and sighed secretly.

But the yamen servant thought that Jin Qian was also worried, so he hurriedly said: "I said, brother, you should go back and report to Mr. Bao, the rules of this yamen should not be broken."

Hearing the words, Jin Qian looked up at the yamen servant, couldn't help being amused, and thought, "Just kidding, God knows how many tricks there are in Gongsun Zhuzi's confession. If we ask ourselves if we can't understand the essence, how dare we tamper with it?"Besides, I would rather offend a hundred old men with a dark face than a single grandson with a black belly, otherwise, I will definitely be unable to eat and walk around, and I will worry about food and clothing for the rest of my life.

Thinking of this, Jin Qian straightened his back, put his hands behind his back and said in a loud voice: "My lord's order has its own deep meaning. I am waiting for my servants, so I only need to obey the order, and there is no need to ask for extra words."

When the officer heard this, he had nothing to say, so he nodded and stepped aside.

Jin Qian raised his eyebrows, and was about to raise the voice to let the common people enter the yamen, but heard a deep and old voice from outside the crowd: "Hmph, deep meaning? I'm afraid it's because of uneasiness and good intentions!"

When everyone heard it, they were all taken aback.

Jin Qian's heart was even more moved, and he hurriedly followed the prestige.

After looking carefully, they found a black-painted carriage parked on the avenue outside the crowd.Three horses are driving together, the horses are all black and shiny, the wheels are more than three feet high, and the black satin canopy is embroidered with rich and noble cloud patterns. But the cost is bound to be high.

Behind the carriage were more than a dozen young men dressed as servants. Although they were wearing green clothes and hats, they were tall and tall, not like ordinary servants.One of the servants went to the front of the car, raised the curtain, and helped one person out of the car.

I saw this person, wearing a wide-sleeved and wide-body tan robe, with an emerald embellished jade belt across his waist, and black satin rusty cloud boots, his cheeks were flushed, his forehead and temples were white and shiny, and his silver-white eyebrows were inserted upside down. On the temples, a pair of inverted triangular eyes, the corners of the eyes are high, and the two feet of silver whiskers are scattered on the chest.

I saw this person pacing, walking through the crowd unhurriedly, followed by dozens of servants, followed closely behind him, but he was dressed in plain clothes, but he was very imposing, hundreds of people unexpectedly gave way to a passage.

This person came to the steps of the government office, glanced at Jin Qian out of the corner of his eye, and said: "Did you just say that no matter who is willing to listen, anyone can enter the office?"

Jin Qian raised his eyes to look at this person, nodded his head, and muttered in his heart:

Thinking about the current territory of Chenzhou, An Lehou was captured, and the magistrate was imprisoned. Lao Bao is the largest in a hundred miles.But take a look at the person in front of him, who came out of nowhere, who is even more imposing than Lao Bao.Tsk tsk, this is really a bedbug from eating melon seeds, there are all kinds of benevolence (people).

Seeing Jin Qian nodding his head, the man sneered, and said in a deep voice, "Well, you bastard, you dare to treat the royal family like this. Hmph, I must have a meeting with you today!"

After finishing speaking, he snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and walked towards the Yamen with big strides.

Jin Qian was stunned when he heard the words, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, and hurriedly followed behind, and hurried to the lobby.

The people at the gate of the mansion, seeing the old man walking into the mansion in a big way, and no one stopped him, suddenly became more courageous.A few daring ordinary people followed in, some took the lead, and other onlookers also rushed into the mansion.

Besides, Jin Qian followed behind the old man, but he felt uncomfortable, he couldn't help looking at the old man's back, and thought to himself: Tsk tsk, this person dared to call Lao Bao "Bao Heizi", he must have come from a bad person.And I always felt that this person seemed familiar, especially that sneer, which was so familiar no matter how harsh it sounded--in other words, if you talk about people who have a penchant for sneering recently, it seems that the only one is that little crab... …

Gee!

Jin Qian's fine eyes suddenly widened.

OH MY GOD!This person is so ostentatious, so dressed, such a tone, such a sneer—couldn't it be that some old crab is also fresh on the market? !

"Master Pang?!"

An exclamation came from not far away, which immediately confirmed Jin Qian's unfortunate guess.

Jin Qian raised his eyes and saw that the two of them had arrived at the lobby of the government office unknowingly. Wang Chao and Ma Han happened to be standing at the door, looking at the old man in front of Jin Qian in amazement, all four eyeballs were closed. fell out.

"Pang, Tai, Master?!"

Jin Qian's eyes shot at the person in front of him, his face twitched immediately, his eyes burst into tears, his intestines were green with regret, and he shouted wildly in his heart: God, the earth, the most corrupt official in the Northern Song Dynasty, whose family property is older than the old man The grand master Pang, who had more than dozens of times more money and was as rich as a country, swaggered into the government office for a trial, but we, we, we didn't extort a single penny—oh my God, how could we, a dignified modern person, commit such a crime? low level error...

Jin Qian's complexion here is not good-looking, and the complexion of Chao Dynasty and Ma Han over there is also extremely ugly.

Seeing Wang Chao stepping forward, he clasped his fists and said to Grand Master Pang, "Grand Master..."

"Hmph!" Pang Ji snorted coldly, and said angrily, "Why don't you ask Mr. Bao to come out to see the old man?"

Chao Chao froze, clasped his fists in salute, and hurriedly retreated.

Ma Han also cupped his fists and said, "Grand Master, please move to the back hall."

"No need!" Grand Master Pang flicked his wide sleeves, walked straight into the lobby, and stood with his hands behind his back. Behind him, the servants stood in two rows, standing upright on the court hall, arrogant, as if in his own mansion.

Looking around, Pang Ji sneered and said, "The old man is here waiting for Master Bao!"

Ma Han's face darkened, and he stood aside, silent.

Jin Qian crossed his arms, sulking at himself, but also didn't say a word.

After seeing this situation, many people who followed were too frightened to speak.

For a while, inside and outside the lobby, there was a dead silence, which was actually a bit gloomy.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps coming from far to near, Mr. Bao, Mr. Gongsun, Zhan Zhao, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, Chao Chao and several government servants rushed into the hall of the government office.

Master Bao took a few steps forward, cupped his fists and said, "Grand Master, Bao Zheng is very polite."

Everyone behind them also saluted.

Grand Master Pang sneered and said, "Master Bao, why should you be so polite? I can't afford it!"

Master Bao paused: "Why did the Grand Master say that?"

"Why did you say that?!" Pang Ji stared, and shouted loudly: "Master Bao, I ask you, today you are going to the court for trial, who is it?"

This question was very imposing, and it seemed like the villain would sue first.

Jin Qian glanced aside, and couldn't help breaking into a cold sweat secretly for Mr. Bao, thinking in his heart: Tsk tsk, this old crab is considered a royal relative, and he can be regarded as a respectable person in the court, and he will deal with him in the future I'm afraid there are a lot of opportunities. If the little crab is made today, life will definitely be difficult in the future-although it is said in history that the little crab died under Lao Bao's guillotine, but if you consider the reality, um... Lao Bao Ah, you have to weigh this case carefully today, it's wise to leave some leeway for the future.

Master Bao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he replied unhurriedly: "Today's trial is about concealing the disaster and failing to report it, which caused countless victims to die; sitting in a state capital, but not making decisions for the local people, but exploiting the people and not being able to see." Ji, privately set up a soft red hall to rob An Lehou of the women of the people—Pang Yu!"

After finishing speaking, he raised his sharp eyebrows, his eyes were like lightning, and he shot straight at Pang Ji.

"...!!"

Grand Master Pang's eyes popped out suddenly, blue veins appeared on his forehead, his chest heaved up and down violently, his lips trembled for a while, but he couldn't say a word.

Jin Qian's eyes darkened immediately, and he thought: Yes, listening to what Lao Bao said, it seems that Liang Zi of Kaifeng Mansion and Taishi Mansion are married, and life will be sad in the future...

"Grand Master, Bao Zheng is about to be promoted to the court for questioning. I don't know Grand Master..." Mr. Bao bowed slightly, clasped his fists and continued. He was interrupted by Grand Master Pang just after speaking.

"Master Bao, didn't you once say that anyone can hear the trial? The old man is not going anywhere today, just listen in this hall to hear how you want to judge this uncle of the dynasty!"

"In that case—" Master Bao raised his sharp eyes and said loudly: "Come here, let's take a seat."

Two yamen servants hurriedly moved a grand master's chair and placed it on the side of the hall. Grand master Pang sat on the side with a sullen face, and several servants behind him waited on both sides.

Master Bao glanced at Grand Master Pang, turned around and went up to the hall, and sat behind the case; the third class of government servants trotted one after another, standing neatly on both sides of the court; Guards with knives guarded the imperial envoy's case.

The people listening to the trial outside the lobby also stood at the door in a regular manner, surrounding the lobby tightly.

The lobby of Chenzhou Mansion was no bigger than the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion, but now it was surrounded by many yamen servants of Kaifeng Mansion, plus Grand Master Pang and his gang joined in the fun, the hall was suddenly extremely crowded.

Jin Qian turned around and saw that he had no place to stand. After hesitating for a moment, he still felt that he was safe beside a certain cat, so he trotted behind Zhan Zhao, and elbowed Zhan Zhao's arm, He said in a low voice, "Master Zhan, the place is narrow, so you just make do with it and let us borrow a place to settle down first."

Although the words were low, they were heard clearly by the surrounding people.

Everyone in the hall was stunned, the four captains stared wide-eyed, even Grand Master Pang who was sitting by the side of the hall couldn't help frowning, and looked at Jin Qian coldly.

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, and looked down at Jin Qian.

Only then did Jin Qian feel that something was wrong, and when he changed his mind, he suddenly felt bad:

OH MY GOD!How did we forget that this cat is a majestic fourth-rank official, so it is natural to stand in front of Mr. Bao's case, but how can we, a low-level servant, stand in such a respected position? !Tsk tsk, it must be due to being too tired recently and lack of sleep, resulting in hypoxia in the brain, to make such a low-level mistake!

Thinking of this, Jin Qian hurriedly changed his words, and said with a smile on his face: "Ahem, Mr. Zhan, this subordinate is watching...seeing that there is some dust on Mr.'s official case, come to help Mr. wipe it, and leave after wiping, it's impolite Excuse me..."

After finishing speaking, Jin Qian hastily wiped the leg of Mr. Bao's office table with his sleeve very dog-leggedly twice, turned around and was about to take the time to sneak out of the lobby, but Grand Master Pang suddenly sneered, and said: "The Kaifeng mansion belongs to even the court etiquette. I don’t know, Master Bao, as the prefect of Kaifeng, how can you serve as an imperial envoy if you are so negligent in disciplining your subordinates? How can you judge the imperial uncle?!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in Kaifeng Mansion changed their faces.

Jin Qian was even more startled, he staggered, and nearly tore off half of the fourth-rank guard's sleeve by his side.

Without raising his head, Jin Qian could also feel the tense body of a fourth-rank guard with a knife beside him, which seemed to be a precursor to going crazy.

My mother! !Is this old crab trying to kill us?At least let us go out of the gate to complain, now we are so close to this cat, if the cat gets angry, it will be too late to escape!

Taking another peek at the face of Lord "Royal Cat", it was already slightly livid.

Tsk tsk... I have to hold my back when I die...

Thinking of this, Jin Qian took a deep breath, turned around abruptly, looked straight at Grand Master Pang, and said in a loud voice: "The grand master's words are wrong! Although my subordinate has only been working in Kaifeng Mansion for a few months, I know the etiquette in the hall. Xiayuan belonged to the position of Zao Li, and maintaining the cleanliness of the hall was the place of blame. Now, seeing the filth in the lord's official case, he stepped forward to clean it up, just to maintain the prestige of the hall! I think the lord Taishi is pampered in the Taishi mansion every day, and I don't know these halls The etiquette is also normal. The subordinate failed to explain clearly to the grand master first, it is really a carelessness of the subordinate, so I apologize to the grand master first!"

After finishing speaking, Jin Qian bowed and clasped his fists, respectfully apologizing to Grand Master Pang.

Jin Qian's words not only exonerated himself in a high-sounding manner, but also had a double meaning. He clearly apologized to Grand Master Pang, but in fact he secretly demoted Grand Master Pang for his ignorance. After a long while, he said grimly: "Master Bao—as expected—he is good at disciplining his subordinates!"

Sitting behind the case, Mr. Bao nodded slightly and replied: "The Grand Master is too proud."

Grand Master Pang cast a fierce glance back at Master Bao, and then shifted his gaze to Jin Qian, his eyes fixed on the prey like poisonous snakes, which made Jin Qian tremble all over, and a sense of déjà vu foreboding crossed his mind.Fortunately, it was only a glance, and in an instant Grand Master Pang withdrew his eyes and remained silent.

Only then did Jin Qian secretly heave a sigh of relief, and thought to himself: Tsk tsk, it seems that the chance of jumping to the Taishi Mansion to become a rich man is [-]% to [-]%... Forget it, you can be well-off in Kaifeng Mansion, let's be more pragmatic , down-to-earth to be our servants.

Tsk, speaking of being pragmatic, anyway, there is no place for us in the lobby right now, so it would be more practical to go outside to bask in the sun and catch up on an early night's sleep.

Thinking of this, Jin Qian turned around and saluted, saying: "This subordinate will leave."

After finishing speaking, Jin Qian walked towards the gate.

"Catcher gold."

A clear voice behind him stopped Jin Qian.

Ok?

Jin Qian turned around and looked inexplicably at the red-clothed guard who called him to stop him.

But seeing that Zhan Zhao's body was straight and loose, his eyes were clear, and he said seriously, "Catcher Jin might as well stand behind Zhan, if there is any filth in the lobby, it will be easy to clean up."

ha?

"...Subordinates... obey orders..."

Jin Qian was a little confused, and walked back to stand behind Zhan Zhao in a daze, just in time to miss the flash of light in Grand Master Pang's eyes.

At this time, everyone in the court finally got their seats.

Master Bao looked around, nodded slightly, held up the gavel and clapped it down, and said loudly: "Ascension!"

"mighty--"

The prestige of the hall is loud, the three classes are majestic, the blue sky is seated, and the mirror hangs high, which is exactly: the prestige of the hall is righteous, and the mirror reflects the blue sky.

Master Bao was sitting in the hall, and ordered loudly:

"Come here, bring Marquis Anle—Pang Yu."

"Bring An Lehou—Pang Yu—" the order went away.

Not long after, I saw two yamen servants leading An Lehou into the lobby.

I saw that An Lehou was still wearing the same satin robe from yesterday, the brocade clothes were bright, but his face was tired, his eyes were red, his hair was slightly messed up, from his forehead to his chin, there was a blue and purple streak on his face, which was very conspicuous.

When Grand Master Pang saw his own son, his face immediately turned serious, and he leaned out half of his body from the grand master's chair, his white eyebrows frowned, and when he saw the scars on Pang Yu's face, he was furious, turned his head and shouted to Mr. Bao: "My son is the uncle of the current court. , who is so bold, dare to hurt the dignified An Lehou so far?!"

"Father!" When Pang Yu saw Taishi Pang, his face turned pale, his eyes became cold again, and he said in a deep voice, "It's the cats raised in Kaifeng Mansion who don't have eyes, which hurt the child."

"Zhan Zhao!!" Grand Master Pang patted the chair of the Grand Master, stood up abruptly, pointed at the red-clothed guards in front of the hall and shouted, "You are a little fourth-rank guard, how dare you hurt the uncle of the dynasty? Already!!"

Zhan Zhao looked straight at Grand Master Pang, his expression unchanged, and he didn't say a word.

Standing behind Zhan Zhao, Jin Qian broke out in a cold sweat because of Grand Master Pang's anger, and thought: The position next to this cat is not good for Feng Shui, it is safer to change the position next time.

Then Master Bao said loudly in the hall: "Grand Master, be safe and don't be impatient!"

"Be safe!? Master Bao, if your family members are injured like this, I want to see how Master Bao can stay safe?!"

"Grand Master, this is a court, please respect yourself, Grand Master."

"Hmph, Master Bao, now that the dignified uncle of the court has been beaten up by the subordinates of the Kaifeng Mansion, the old man must read a book to you, and condemn the Kaifeng Mansion for contempt of the royal family."

After finishing speaking, Grand Master Pang waved his sleeves, walked straight to An Lehou's side, held Pang Yu's arm and said, "Come on, prepare the car and go back to Lord Hou's mansion."

But as soon as he took a step, all the yamen servants surrounded him, holding killing sticks in their hands, not giving way.

Behind Grand Master Pang, a group of servants rushed up instantly, surrounding the yamen servants in the center.

Grand Master Pang snorted coldly, and shouted: "This old man is the grand master of the court, who dares to stop him?"

Before he finished speaking, he saw a red shadow stepping into the air, and as soon as the strong wind passed, a jet-black scabbard instantly lay in front of Grand Master Pang.

The figure is as straight as a pine, the red clothes are proud, the eyebrows are pressed down and the eyes are staring, the lapel dances against the sword, it is exactly: a sword in hand, ten thousand men can't open it.

Unknowingly, several servants of the Pang family took half a step back.

"Zhan Zhao!!" Grand Master Pang gritted his teeth.

Jin Qian glanced around and cried out in his heart: Ah, are you going to fight again? !As soon as he got low, he wanted to sneak away, and just bent down half an inch, he heard Lord Bao say in a deep voice behind him: "Grand Master Pang!"

Master Bao stood up slowly, stared sharply, and said, "Grand Master, please return to your seat."

"Lord Bao!" Grand Master Pang turned around and glared, shouting, "How dare you stop me?"

Mr. Bao stood behind the case, his body was like a mountain, and he said loudly: "The government is now on a tour of imperial envoys by order, and wherever he goes, it is as if the holy car is there in person. Is Grand Master Pang going to offend the holy car?"

Grand Master Pang raised his eyebrows, and said: "Master Bao, don't use your status as an imperial envoy to overwhelm others. I am afraid that you will fail!"

Lord Bao stared at him, clasped his fists with both hands, and raised his hands upwards: "Could it be that the grand master wants to ask the government to ask for Shangfang's sword before he is willing to give up?!"

"You..." Grand Master Pang was at a loss for words for a while, standing in the middle of the hall and gasping for breath.

"Father," An Le Hou Pang Yu said suddenly, "Father, don't worry, there's no evidence for that bag of sunspots, and there's nothing you can do to my son. I will accompany you to the end today!"

Grand Master Pang turned his head, frowned and said, "But..."

"Father, don't worry!" Pang Yu sneered, and the purple-black seal in the center of his face was twisted like a poisonous snake. He continued, "Go back and sit down at ease, the child can handle it by himself."

Grand Master Pang nodded, turned around and sat back on the Grand Master's chair, and the servants behind him also stood back to their original positions.

Everyone in Kaifeng Mansion returned to their seats one by one.

Seeing Zhan Zhao return to his seat, Jin Qian heaved a sigh of relief, and hastily retreated a few steps.

Mr. Bao slowly sat down, looked deeply at Pangyu, Anle Hou, in the hall, suddenly slammed the gavel, and shouted loudly: "Pang Yu, you are sitting in the Chenzhou mansion, but you concealed the drought in Chenzhou and killed the people. Countless, heinous crimes, yet to plead guilty?!"

"Master Bao!" Pang Yulue cupped his hands, and said, "Master Bao, why did you say that? This Marquis was bestowed the Marquis of Anle by the Holy Lord. He is just an idler and has no real power at all. When will the drought in Chenzhou be resolved?" Under the jurisdiction of Benhou? Even if some civilians died due to drought, Mr. Bao should ask the prefect of Chenzhou, why did you ask Benhou?"

As soon as this statement came out, there was a sudden silence in the lobby.

Standing behind Zhan Zhao, Jin Qian clicked his tongue in his heart:

Tsk tsk, this little crab is really tricky and cunning, and a title of "Hou Anle" can also be used as an excuse to get rid of the crime.It's a pity that the catfish magistrate has already pleaded guilty and served as a tainted witness, you little crab, just wait to be identified.

Sure enough, Master Bao said loudly: "Come here, bring Li Qingping, the prefect of Chenzhou."

"Take Li Qingping, the prefect of Chenzhou—"

After a while, I saw two guards pressing down a prisoner and coming up.

I saw this person with messy bun, prison clothes wrapped around his body, pointed chin, and three slender beards scattered on his chest. It was Li Qingping, the prefect of Chenzhou.

As soon as he arrived in the lobby, Li Qingping immediately threw himself to the ground, facing the blue bricks, and shouted: "Criminal, criminal officer Li Qingping kowtowed to Mr. Bao!"

Lord Bao stared slightly, and asked in a deep voice: "Li Qingping, I ask you, as the prefect of Chenzhou, why did you conceal the disaster in Chenzhou and not report it, causing countless people to starve to death on the streets, and countless victims of disasters to be displaced?!"

"Offenders, offenders offenders, officials..." Li Qingping murmured for a long time without uttering a single sentence.

An Le Hou Pang Yu who was on the side spoke first: "Li Qingping, look up and see who else is sitting in the hall?"

Li Qingping just looked up, and when he saw Grand Master Pang sitting next to the hall, his expression changed drastically, and beads of sweat broke out.

"Mr. Anle, the residence did not ask you to answer!" Master Bao's face was slightly condensed, and he shouted in a deep voice.

"Lord Bao," Pang Yu sneered, "I just thought that Lord Li and my father are old acquaintances, and Lord Li's Gaotang and father are also family friends, so I just want to remind Lord Li to meet the old friend before he dies."

"Pang Yu!" Lord Bao suddenly shouted angrily, "If you talk too much, don't blame this government for punishing you for yelling at the court!"

Pang Yu raised his eyebrows and sneered, without saying a word.

Jin Qian could see clearly in front of the hall, although Lord Bao stopped An Lehou from speaking, but he was half a step too late.Ever since Pang Yu mentioned the relationship between Li Qingping's family and Grand Master Pang, Li Qingping's face has changed again and again, and now it is like wax paper.

Turning his head to look at Mr. Bao in the hall again, he saw Mr. Bao's face was gloomy and his brows were wrinkled.Looking at Mr. Gongsun on the other side, he also has a bad complexion.As for Zhan Zhao, you don't need to look up, just look at the white knuckles on the side of your body holding the giant que, and you can see how ugly this imperial guard's face is.

Jin Qian sighed secretly, and thought: Tsk tsk, the relationship between Li Qingping and the little crab's family may not be true, but it is probably true that Li Qingping's family was threatened by the little crab as a bargaining chip.This little crab is really treacherous, this time it will be in big trouble...

Looking at Li Qingping, the prefect of Chenzhou, his face was pale, sweat beaded like beans, the three strands of thin beard shivered uncontrollably, he couldn't utter a word.

Master Bao slapped the gavel fiercely, and shouted loudly: "Li Qingping, why didn't you answer my question?"

Only then did Li Qingping come to his senses, he hurriedly bowed his head to the ground, and replied tremblingly: "Hui, Hui lord, there is a severe drought in Chenzhou, the offender has not, failed to report to the court in time, it is the offender's dereliction of duty, the offender pleaded guilty, everything is up to you Get lost——!"

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

After a while, Grand Master Pang laughed loudly: "Hmph, Mr. Bao, the prefect of Chenzhou has already subdued the law, why don't you use the guillotine of Kaifeng mansion to serve you?"

Lord Bao paused, glanced at Grand Master Pang, and then asked Li Qingping: "Li Qingping, since you are the magistrate, there is a severe drought in the state capital, why can't you report such a major event in time?"

"This, this..." Li Qingping lay on the ground, trembling all over, and just replied blindly: "The prisoner pleads guilty, and everything is left to the adults!"

When Jin Qian saw it, his heart suddenly turned cold, and he thought: It's over, this Li Qingping has become determined after eating the weight, and made up his mind to be a scapegoat, this time there is no drama.

Master Bao sat in the main hall, frowned and said nothing. After a while, he said: "Come here, bring Li Qingping, the prefect of Chenzhou, back to the prison, so that he can take care of him."

Two guards stepped forward and carried Li Qingping down.

An Lehou and Pang Yu stood in the middle of the hall, sneered, and said, "Master Bao, can I let this Marquis go home now?"

Snapped!With the sound of the gavel, Master Bao frowned, his sharp eyes were like lightning, and he raised his voice and shouted: "Pang Yu, Marquis of Anle! You are in the Chenzhou mansion, harming the common people in the village; privately built a soft red hall, imprisoning women from good families, and For fun; concealing the drought, deceiving the king and neglecting the king, causing mourning to spread all over the country, which is horrible; all crimes, piles of piles, the anger of heaven and man, don't think that this government can do nothing for you, the so-called "the sky is restored, and it is sparse but not leaked" , this government will definitely let you plead guilty!"

An Lehou sneered, cupped his fists and said, "Master Bao, is there any evidence for what you said?"

Master Bao stared at him and said, "This government will definitely find evidence to convince you!"

"I'm waiting for you!"

Master Bao patted the gavel: "Come here, take An Lehou back to the wing, and leave the hall!"

"Lord Bao!" Grand Master Pang stood up and said loudly, "Marquis An Le has not been convicted, why can't he go back to Lord Hou's mansion?!"

"Grand Master, although An Lehou has not been convicted, he is still a suspect, so naturally he cannot go back home!"

"Bao Heizi—" Grand Master Pang blew on his beard, and was about to step forward to argue.

In the hall, Pang Yu said leisurely: "Father, since Master Bao invited the child to be a guest in the mansion, it doesn't matter if the child stays here for a few days."

After finishing speaking, he sneered and walked out of the courtroom with the yamen servant.

When Grand Master Pang saw it, he stopped talking, snorted coldly, and left with a group of servants.

When the people outside the hall saw it, they sighed and dispersed one after another, leaving only the people of Kaifeng Mansion standing in the hall.

Mr. Bao stood upright behind the koan, his brows were lowered, and he didn't say a word.

Seeing Mr. Gongsun, he stepped forward and said in a low voice: "My lord, according to the student's opinion, if you want to punish An Lehou, you have to think about it later."

Lord Bao nodded slightly, turned around and said to the people beside him: "Follow me and go to the flower hall first, and then worry about it."

The four captains, Mr. Gongsun, and Zhan Zhao bowed their hands and saluted one by one, and followed Mr. Bao to the back hall.

When Jin Qian saw this lineup, he immediately understood, and thought: Tsk tsk, it's another gathering of Kaifeng people, it seems that there is nothing good about it.Alas, I think we have been exhausted for several days, our waist is sore and our back is sore, and now we are leaving work, we should find a place to sleep first, and nourishing our spirits is the top priority.

Thinking of this, Jin Qian turned around and walked towards the gate.

But just after taking two steps, I heard a loud voice behind me: "Catcher Jin, you should go this way to the flower hall."

tsk...

Jin Qian's face twitched faintly, his stiff figure slowly turned around, looking at the straight red figure in front of him, he said helplessly: "Master Zhan, it seems that this subordinate doesn't..."

"Catcher Jin," Mr. Gongsun also turned to Jin Qian and said, "Time is running out, don't delay."

"...The subordinate obeys."

Like a wilted eggplant, Jin Qian followed behind them dejectedly, and walked towards the back hall, muttering in his heart as he walked: Tsk tsk, I forgot to read the almanac when I got up this morning. We dare to bet the dignity of modern people that today's almanac It must say: Advisable: All things should not be avoided: Cats
