Go to Kaifeng to be a civil servant
Chapter 49 Royal Cat 1 Angry Everything Is Difficult
The county government office of Xihua County faces south from the street, with red pillars and blue tiles, stone foundation and wooden support. Outside, there are three floors inside and three floors outside, densely packed and crowded with people, almost all the people in the county gather here.
These many people are not hearing the trial, nor are they watching the fun, but they are all the plaintiffs in court, suing Guo Guangwei, the son of Guo Huai, the great eunuch of the inner palace.
Just listen to the beating of the drum in the hall, the shouting of the hall's prestige, Bao Qingtian, the imperial envoy, ascended to the hall to question the case, and the court judged Xihua's tyrant Guo Guangwei.
When entering the lobby, the common people must abide by the rules of the lobby, kneel down in a row, and look nervous.
As for the people who are squeezed outside the gate of the county government, there are not so many rules. They can pose in any posture, standing, squatting, because they really can't see the situation inside the hall, so they all look like rabbits He strained his ears to listen.Some ordinary people standing on the outermost floor couldn't even hear clearly, so they simply sat cross-legged on the spot, waiting for the result of the trial.
There are also a few people who just knelt down and prayed beside them, muttering in their mouths that they had a lot of words: "Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, please protect Master Bao for interrogating Lord Guo, and let us, Xihua County The people will also live a good life for a few days."
"God, please don't let Mr. Guo come out to harm the people again!"
"Heaven, earth, Tathagata Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, Lord Jesus, Santa Claus, no matter which one is successful, please pray that this case must be tried for three days and three nights. The sky is dark and the sky is dark, and people are tired and tired, so that people have no time to care about other things!"
Ok? !
The people who prayed for God were stunned for a moment, and when they turned their heads to look, they saw a person bowing and kneeling sideways. One person was thin and thin, with his eyes closed. It was Jin Qian who was acting as a storyteller.
A few people suddenly became unhappy and yelled:
"Hey, let me talk about the storyteller, what are you doing here to join in the fun?!"
"We all hope that the trial of this case will be completed soon, what kind of chaos are you creating here!"
"Go, go!"
"What are you arguing about, don't you see that we are busy here?!"
Jin Qian's detailed eyes suddenly opened, and his eyes were shining brightly, which startled these commoners immediately.
But in the next moment, Jin Qian's expression changed, like an eggplant that had been frosted, limp in one place, holding his head and continuing to mutter to himself.
The few commoners pricked up their ears and were even more puzzled.
I can vaguely understand a few words, but most of them are incomprehensible.
"Propaganda campaign, celebrity effect, idol effect... come from the masses, go to the masses, which one is right..."
"It's so easy to make an idol popular, how difficult it is..."
"Besides, the popular idol is such a glorious and prestigious profession. Back then, in our era, no matter how many people squeezed their heads, they couldn't make it..."
"But the cold light that the cat threw from the corner of its eye before it left, why is it so terrifying..."
"Tsk tsk, shouldn't we avoid the limelight first, take advantage of the chaos and escape back to Kaifeng, and wait for the cat's anger to subside before making a long-term plan..."
Speaking of this, Jin Qian's slender eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded frequently and said to himself:
"The golden cicada sheds its shell and hides Chen Cang in the dark—so good! So good!"
Several people shook their heads.
The little brother who told the story probably had never seen such a big scene, so he was frightened and stupid for a while.
At this moment, suddenly there was an uproar in the crowd in the inner circle, and the people in the outer circle suddenly regained their spirits and rushed forward.
Jin Qian had already planned a way out, seeing him now, he didn't want to miss it, so he rushed over.
When Jinqian sneaked into the crowd, he heard several voices shouting one after another, one sentence after another, orderly and lifelike, comparable to the live broadcast of modern professional journalists.
"Come on, come on, Mr. Guo has been suppressed! Hey, my hair is messed up, and my clothes are also crooked. I never thought that Mr. Guo would have such a day."
"Look at the one who testified in court, hey?! Isn't this our county magistrate? Why is he so disheartened?"
"Hush, whisper, Master Bao has spoken..."
A moment of silence.
"Hey, my grandma, the dog's head! The dog's head is brought out!"
"Press it up, press it up! Master Bao threw the stick, threw the stick! It's cut! It's cut! Oh, my mother!"
"My dear, this blood..."
There was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and then gradually turned into silence. Suddenly, no one knew who started it, and saw more than a hundred people inside and outside the county government office kneeling on the ground at the same time, bending over and knocking.
"Xie Qingtianbao sir!"
"Xie Qingtian, Mr. Bao!"
"Thank you, Master Bao!"
Inside and outside the county government office, the people knelt together, kowtowed and thanked, weeping with gratitude, shouting loudly, wetting the brick steps with tears, the scene was deeply touching.
Jin Qian was also deeply infected, knelt down and shouted a few words.
After a long while, the voice of the people's thanks gradually faded away.
After the people thanked them, they left happily one by one. After a while, only Jin Qian was left standing at the gate of the county government office, looking left and right, feeling worried: Are you going back to Kaifeng at this time?
Leaving without saying goodbye, and absenteeism and other crimes, isn't the iron rice bowl of Kaifeng Mansion insecure?
What's more, I'm so shy and alone, so I can't drink the northwest wind along the way.
Um--
Going back to the county government office, avoiding a certain fourth-rank guard, saying goodbye to Lao Bao, and declaring that there is an urgent matter to be done first, and then ask Gongsun Zhuzi for a loan... just for our good performance in Xihua County these days No matter how you say it, it can be regarded as a first achievement, and Lao Bao will give us some face no matter what! ?
Tsk tsk, so good!
Thinking of this, Jin Qian made up his mind that he was about to step into the gate of the county government office, but as soon as he lifted his foot, he felt that something was wrong, and he muttered in his heart: Should we go through the back door or the front door?
According to common sense, every time a case is closed, Mr. Gongsun will order the aftermath in the lobby of the government office, Master Bao will go back to the back office to rest, and the imperial guards will accompany him to protect him.
It can be inferred that the risk of entering from the back door of the county government office is extremely high; while from the front door to the lobby of the government office, you can see Gongsun, loaning tolls, and avoiding royal cats. This is the so-called "three birds with one stone"!
Thinking of this, Jin Qian narrowed his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and stepped into the gate of the county government office.
But as soon as the toes touched the blue bricks on the ground, I felt the hairs all over my body swish and stand upside down.
Jin Qian's heart trembled, he just wanted to back away and sneak away, but he was unable to recover.
"Catcher Jin, are you still coming in?"
The clear and bright voice came with the wind, not high, not low, not urgent, not slow, just like moist jade, like a clear spring, really nice to hear.
But to Jinqian's ears, it sounded like Yan Luo urging the soul.
Jin Qian was shocked suddenly, his hands and feet were cold in an instant, and he couldn't take half a step.
"Catcher gold?"
The melodious voice sounded again, still not high, not low, not urgent, not slow, but it was faintly icy cold, it was obviously coming from a distance, but it seemed to be ringing in the ears, it was obviously not loud, but it shook the eardrums Slight pain.
It can be seen that the person who spoke has profound internal skills, and can be ranked among the top five in the world.
Oh god!
Jin Qian struggled to swallow a mouthful of saliva, so he could only bite the bullet and walk towards the county government hall.
However, the distance of several zhang is like a long march of thousands of miles, every step weighs more than a thousand catties.
When Jin Qian came to the lobby, he was sweating through his cardigan.
There are five people standing straight above the fortified hall.
The two people on the left, one with a long face and the other with a sallow face, are Zhao Dynasty and Ma Han;
And the person in the middle, wearing red clothes with a jade belt, stands with a sword in his arms, with handsome eyebrows and cold eyes, thin lips slightly pursed, half smiling, half angry, just standing there quietly, but he feels dragons roaring and tigers roaring around him , The dark tide is raging.Standing directly above the lobby, the cold wind is blowing and the clouds are gloomy, a scene of "the wind is blowing and the cold is piercing to the bones, and the black clouds cover everything and everything is sad".
Jin Qian only felt chest tightness, shortness of breath, dizziness, and stiffness all over his body, which seemed to be a sign of a sudden cerebral infarction.
What, what's going on? !Why did the majestic imperial envoy's personal guards restlessly guard the imperial envoy's side, instead appearing in the lobby with the posture of settling accounts after autumn? !
Where is the dear and lovely Gongsun Zhuzi? !
What are the four big King Kongs with unlucky faces standing here?
Do you want to set up a square formation of green dragon, white tiger, vermilion bird and basalt to chop us off?
"Jin Qian, what are you doing standing here? Haven't you come forward to pay respects?"
The simple and honest voice rang in his ears, and when he looked up, he saw that Zhao Hu had come to his side at some point, and he was reminding himself in a low voice with an anxious expression on his face.
Jin Qian suddenly came back to his senses, hurriedly cupped his fists and bowed, and raised his voice: "This subordinate has seen several adults!"
"Hurry up, you don't need to be polite." The clear voice sounded again, and the usual melodious voice was like the spring breeze blowing the willows and the clouds floating in the sky, which made Jin Qian startled.
"This trip to Xihua County, Jin Bukuo took the lead and worked hard. It's also hard work."
Eh?
Jin Qian didn't dare to raise his head, he still clasped his fists and bowed, and hurriedly replied: "Master Zhan appreciates the award, this is the job of the subordinates."
"That's right—" Lang Lang's voice suddenly turned sharply, each word was heavy and tight, and the temperature in the room plummeted, "Master Bao just now praised Mr. Jin full of praise, saying that Mr. Jin is quick-witted." , sharp eloquence, and quite the air of a general; Mr. Gongsun also praised: Listening to a passage from Jin Bukuai is better than taking supplements for ten years. It makes people feel open, relaxed and happy, and full of joy!"
In an instant, the spring breeze turned into a cold current, the willows were blown to cut the ice, the sky was broken by lightning, and the clouds were left with cracks.It's really "a broken intestine, how many intestines can there be".
Hearing the four captains gasp at the same time.
Several cold sweats trickled down from the top of Jin Qian's head.
"I've, I've given the award, this, this, this is the job of my subordinates..."
"A matter of duty?" Shen Leng's voice suddenly turned up, turning into a cold ice knife with a sharp edge and flashing cold light. Leng swished around in the lobby, and finally pierced Jinqian's heart.
Jin Qian only felt his eyes go dark, and fell to the ground with a plop, shouting incoherently: "Master Zhan, you are a big man, with a belly that can carry a boat, and a big heart, comparable to a god. If you talk nonsense for a while, you have the right to be The stinky dog barks like a fart, so don't take it to heart at all! The admiration your subordinates have for Mr. Zhan is like a torrent of river water..."
……
... the whole room is silent.
For a long time, I didn't know whether Jin Qian had been frightened to the point of lack of oxygen in his brain or was in a state of insanity, but he vaguely heard someone coughing twice at an inappropriate time, and there seemed to be a hint of a smile mixed in between.
"Hurry up Jin, why do you offer such a big gift, and how can Zhan take care of you?" The conversation changed, the voice changed, the spring breeze was still blowing the willows, and the sky was still full of clouds. Jin Qian was shocked when he heard it, and he looked up instinctively. .
I saw the person in front of me, a pair of dark eyes, like autumn water, like cold stars, clear and pure, bright and brilliant, but there is a little bit of light in the depths of the eyes, which seems to ooze a hint of scheming.
"Zhan called Detective Jin to come here, just to inform him. Mr. Bao intends to release a police report in Xihua County for three days, hoping that those who have wronged can be redressed. It's just that Xihua County is located in a remote place after all. There are some unsatisfactory things. Please trouble Jin to clean up the entire county government office quickly, so that the rules are neat, and Master Bao will be raised to interrogate the case in the future, so that the name of Kaifeng Mansion will not be tarnished."
After a pause, he added politely, "What do you think, Captain Jin?"
Huh? !
Just so?
"The subordinates will definitely do their best!"
Jin Qian's figure was straight, his eyes were tense, and he clasped his fists and shouted anxiously, afraid that the person in front of him would change his mind.
Zhan Zhao nodded, turned around and walked towards the inner office, the red official robes were slowly fluttering, and his loud voice drifted with the wind, not high, not low, not urgent, not slow, just like moist jade, like a clear spring, really nice tight.
"All the servants of the county government want to arrest Guo Guangwei's remnant party, and I'm afraid they don't have the spare power to help Jin arrest them quickly."
ha?
"The people in Kaifeng Mansion want to protect the safety of the adults, and I'm afraid they will be at their wits' end."
Eh? ! !
"Hurry up, Jin, the lobby is an important place in the county government office, so it must be cleaned carefully, and it must be spotless; the study room, flower hall, garden, inner room, wing room, dozens of rooms in the back office, I'm afraid it will also be cleaned One time—there are three huts in the county government office, don't forget the gold catcher."
Finally, he added politely: "I'm afraid I will have to work hard to catch Jin."
The corner of Jin Qian's mouth twitched: "Subordinates, I will definitely do my best..."
The straight red shadow disappeared at the door, and the other four people in the lobby except Jin Qian all let out a sigh of relief in unison, with an expression of being blessed and finally escaped the catastrophe.
Wang Chao stepped forward, patted Jin Qian on the shoulder and said, "Hurry up, catch Jin, so I can take care of myself."
Ma Han stepped forward and said: "Catcher Jin...Master Zhan has a very good temper..." After half a sentence, he couldn't continue.
Zhang Long grinned happily, patted Jin Qian on the back twice and said: "My boy, I really have you, and the storytelling is good, that's—hehe, let's not talk about it, let's not talk about it."
Zhao Hu scratched his head and said, "Jin Qian, it looks like I can't help you anymore."
After finishing speaking, the four of them clasped their fists in salute at the same time, and hurriedly walked towards the inner office.
A few more words floated in the air:
"It's so mysterious, I was so scared that my legs went limp just now..."
"Mr. Gongsun didn't know what to think. He followed Mr. Bao into the back office and left us here. He didn't even think about it. With our skills, we are no match for Mr. Zhan... It's okay Mr. Zhan has always been good-tempered..."
"Hey—by the way, you didn't realize that your lord's handling of cases today is much more efficient than usual, and he even talked a lot less..."
"Hey, as for Mr. Zhan's evil spirit, who doesn't want to leave early? It's also because of Guo Guangwei's bad luck. He didn't say a word when he came up, and was so scared that he almost peed his pants when he was stared at by Mr. Zhan. He used all the tricks..."
Chirping, chirping, chirping...
The more Jin Qian heard it, the more embarrassed he became, and he couldn't help feeling angrily:
Mr. Bao Qingtian, the head of the Kaifeng Mansion, Mr. Bao Qingtian, the third-rank official of the dynasty, Mr. Gongsun, the chief secretary and chief think tank of the Kaifeng Mansion, and four sixth-rank school lieutenants under the seat of the famous Kaifeng Mr. Bao——
Can't even lower a cat!
What are you still doing...
-
The misty cooking smoke circles the path, and the peaks and clouds are full of Danxia.
At sunset, when the sun was shining in the west, it was time for dinner at the county government office. The smell of food was wafting in the county government office. The imperial envoys and the county government office servants were all in groups of three or five, six or seven, sitting around in the shade to enjoy dinner.
It was originally a leisurely scene, but when a person walked through it, it caused a commotion.
I saw this person passing through, with a thin body and a thin back, with slit-like eyes, dressed in the uniform of a Kaifeng mansion, and came leisurely with a rice bowl in his hand.
Following that person, everyone in the yamen seemed to have seen a ferocious ghost or beast, and retreated a few steps in a hurry, fearing that they would not be able to avoid it.
Seeing this, the man also seemed a little puzzled, walked to the courtyard, stopped, looked left and right, with a puzzled expression on his face.
When he was standing, the people around couldn't stand it anymore. All the servants in the Xihua County Yamen were covering their noses and their jobs, with expressions of daring to be angry but not daring to speak.
But the Kaifeng Mansion's entourage finally couldn't bear it anymore, they pushed and kicked a yamen servant to come out.
I saw that yamen servant, frowning tightly, with a face full of reluctance, he turned his head and took a few breaths before he came to the side of the man in the courtyard step by step and said: "I said that, cough, Jinqian, we also know how to show up. The work that the adults have arranged for you is not easy to do, but you should take care of your brothers! Do you think you can eat somewhere else?"
"Eh?" Jin Qian looked stunned, turned his head to look around the faces of the people, and suddenly became angry, and shouted in his mouth: "Could it be that even you are so disrespectful?!"
It wasn't enough for that stinky cat to bully us by itself, but it even united with the officials in Kaifeng Mansion to isolate us, it's bullying too much!
The officer was stunned when he heard the words, frowned and said, "I said, catcher Jin, what does this have to do with being loyal? We just feel this smell on you-cough cough, to be honest, some Disgusting..."
Before he finished speaking, his expression changed, and he hurriedly retreated a few steps, exhaling twice.
"Smell? What's the smell?"
Jin Qian blinked his eyes carefully, then suddenly slapped his forehead, rolled up his sleeves and pulled out a silver needle from the acupuncture point on his wrist.
All of a sudden, a smell of "stinky tofu with century-old essence and foot wrap with thousand-year essence" rushed into his nostrils, choking Jinqian so much that he almost couldn't catch his breath.
Quickly inserting the silver needle back to its original position, Jin Qian hurriedly took two steps back and said with a smile on his face: "I forgot, I forgot, we just finished sweeping the two huts, and we really don't smell very good, haha, Forgive me a lot, forgive me a lot..."
After all, he hurriedly took his job and went straight to the back door of the government office.
Only then did everyone heave a sigh of relief, return to their positions, and continue chatting and eating.
And Jin Qian, with a black face and a "fragrance" of "the place of reincarnation of the five grains", ran through the entire county office and out of the back door despite the obvious disgust and whispering of the crowd, and finally found a place. A secluded place.
Seeing that there was no one around, Jin Qian took out the medicine bag from his arms, picked out two pills, crushed them, sprinkled them on his body, and took out the silver needle in his wrist, sniffing and sniffing on his body and under his body. I went through it again and again, until there was only the smell of medicine left on my body, and there was no more "fragrance" left, then I calmed down, took back the silver needle, squatted on the threshold of the back door of the county government office, and picked up the rice bowl to eat.
Just after taking two bites, someone shouted:
"En, benefactor?!"
Jin Qian raised his eyes and saw two people, one old and one young, coming from the back alley.
The person on the left is dressed in a white shirt, with a slender waist wrapped in plain clothes, with picturesque eyebrows, jade cheeks and cherry lips, he is a handsome young man.
Jin Qian half-opened his mouth, and the rice that had just entered his mouth fell out with a sip of saliva.
It took a while to come back to his senses, and exclaimed in surprise:
"Brother Fruit?!"
"Engong!" Fan Ronghua's eyes were burning, he looked up and down Jin Qian's outfit, and said with surprise, "Engong is indeed a messenger from Kaifeng Mansion!"
"Eh?"
I saw Fan Ronghua turned his head and respectfully said to the old woman beside him: "Mother guessed right, Mr. En is indeed an official under Mr. Bao."
The old woman supported by Fan Ronghua is clothed with a wooden staff, her waist is straight, her eyes are kind, and although her eyes are out of focus, they are bright.Hearing what Fan Ronghua said, he showed a smile, nodded slightly in the direction where Jin Qian was standing, and said, "This little brother, can you tell me your name?"
The sky was full of fiery clouds, the lingering glow was shining, and the afterglow of the setting sun enveloped her body, surrounded by golden light, which made the old woman in front of her look noble and majestic.
Jin Qian was startled, instinctively put down his job, jumped up, bowed respectfully and clasped his fists and replied: "The villain's surname is Jin and his name is Qian, he is a fast arrester from Kaifeng Mansion."
"Jinqian... the name is quite interesting..." Aunt Fan smiled slightly, "I have something to meet with Mr. Bao, can I ask Brother Jin to lead the way?"
"See Mr. Bao?" Jin Qian straightened up, looked at the two people opposite him with narrow eyes, and said puzzledly, "Master Bao has made a clear order to sue for three days in Xihua County, no matter what kind of grievances you have. You two If you want to file a complaint, why don’t you go to the gate to beat the drum and complain?” After a pause, he suddenly said with a clear face, “Don’t worry, both of you, even if it’s the middle of the morning or at noon, as long as the drum for complaining is sounded, Mr. Bao will be promoted immediately. Never waste a moment."
When Aunt Fan heard this, her face was startled, and she said in a low voice after a long time: "Sure enough, it's rare to have such an upright official in the Song Dynasty, so why worry that the country will not last a hundred years?"
"Mother—" Fan Ronghua said in a low voice, "Let the child replace mother to beat the drums in the lobby..."
"Hua'er," Aunt Fan shook her head, patted the back of Fan Ronghua's hand, "No need." Then she raised her head and said to Jin Qian, "Brother Jin, what I'm complaining about is hard to explain in one word, and I can't explain it in the lobby. Please brother Jin lead the way."
After saying that, his expression changed, and his blind eyes shot straight at Jin Qian.
Although the eyes are blind, you can see people's hearts, and the clothes are ugly, but it is difficult to hide your dignity.
Jin Qian suddenly became excited, as if he had been cursed, he hurriedly bowed to let Fan's mother and son into the gate, and then drove a few steps forward, leading the way. I dare not be less.
The three of them entered through the back door of the county government office, and entered through the courtyard. They met many guards along the way. They were a little surprised when they saw the three of them, but when they saw Jin Qian's respectful appearance, and because of Jin Qian's special errands at this time and place, he was still there. He only knew that it was the helper Jin Qian invited to clean up the county government office, so he didn't ask any further questions, and no one stopped him along the way.
I saw Mrs. Fan walking forward steadily, with a steady demeanor; Fan Ronghua looked east and west, his face full of freshness and interest; but Jin Qian, who was beside the two of them, was downcast and kept muttering in his heart: alas, I just escaped from the cat's mouth, As soon as he turned around, he threw himself into the cat net again.Thinking that the cat must be following Lao Bao at this time, it's okay if the cat's anger has subsided, if it hasn't subsided... Tsk, we are looking for smoke for nothing!
It's strange to say, we can be counted as people who have seen the emperor, the uncle of the country, and the big scene, but we were stared at by Mrs. Fan's blind eyes, as if a ghost was obsessed, and we couldn't say a word of rejection... …
Thinking of this, Jin Qian's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but look up at the old woman beside him.
I saw that Mrs. Fan's face was solemn and her eyes were majestic. Although she was dressed in coarse linen, her gestures and gestures always revealed a natural nobility.
Oh! !
Jin Qian suddenly stopped, his eyes widened, his eyeballs rolled back and forth several times, and then he recalled the three souls and seven souls, and wondered in his heart: Could it be, could this old lady be the one who exchanged the famous civet cat for the prince in the unofficial history? That...what concubine is here?
Tsk, impossible, absolutely impossible!
After all, "civet cat for prince" is unofficial history, and there is no historical evidence, no literature, and no basis at all.
Although Guo Huai was indeed a real person, this "civet cat for the prince" may not necessarily be true.
What's more, this old Bao has just killed a small crab, and in a blink of an eye he has to uproot an old locust tree. Kaifeng Mansion's luck is not so bad!
Nervousness, purely personal nervousness.
Although Jin Qian couldn't help comforting himself, but his heart was still hanging in the air, he felt uncomfortable no matter what, he was worried and walked with difficulty along the way, and finally came to the door of Laobao's resident flower hall.
Standing straight in front of the flower hall, there are two people standing straight, wearing sixth-grade military uniforms, with broad sabers on their waists. They are Zhang Long and Zhao Hu.
When the two of them saw Jin Qian, they were taken aback for a moment, and then looked up and down, their faces were not tense in the end, and they became happy.
I saw Zhang Long stepped forward two steps, moved closer to Jin Qian's side and smelled it, and said, "Those guards are talking nonsense, and they said that Jin Qian is full of stench, and you can't get close, that's not the case at all. What's the matter!"
Zhao Hu also interjected: "That's right, that's right, Jin Qian, you have no smell at all except a little bit of medicine."
After all, he nodded his head vigorously twice.
Jin Qian was really dumbfounded at this moment.
It stinks...
smelly...
can't get close...
Look what adjectives they are!
Why didn't our achievements in storytelling spread so quickly?
It's a good thing not to go out, and the reputation of "stinky" spreads thousands of miles!
"My lords, the two behind my subordinates have suffered a great grievance. If I want to see Lord Bao, I would like to bother you to inform me."
After adjusting his expression, Jin Qian clasped his fists and said.
Zhang Long and Zhao Hu suddenly looked serious, looked up at Fan's mother and son behind Jin Qian, nodded and said: "Catcher Jin, wait a moment!"
After finishing speaking, Zhao Hu turned around and entered the house. Not long after, he saw Zhao Hu hurried out and said, "Catcher Jin, my lord, please take these two mother and son inside."
"...Yes..." Jin Qian clasped his fists in salute, rolled his eyes carefully, pulled Zhao Hu past him and whispered, "Brother Zhao, is Mr. Zhan in the flower hall?"
Zhao Hu was stunned: "Master Zhan is naturally protecting Master Bao."
Jin Qian suddenly changed into a weeping face, and continued: "Brother Zhao, I have something to discuss with you. The mother and son will bother you to bring them in, and the subordinates will not go in..."
"Catcher Jin?" Zhao Hu was puzzled.
"Oh, a big man, mother-in-law, what are you doing?!" Zhang Long yelled loudly behind him, stretched out his hand and patted Jinqian on the back, and said, "Master Zhan won't eat you, let alone this mother and son are Jinqian. Quickly, you brought it, how can the two of us bring it?"
Jin Qian was photographed staggering, his body fell forward, and one foot had already stepped into the threshold of the flower hall.
His face twitched for a while, Jin Qian had no choice but to bite the bullet and turn back to Fan Ronghua's mother and son and said, "You two, please follow me."
It's just that when he turned around, he happened to catch a glimpse of the optimistic look on the faces of the two captains.
Well you two guys, let's remember.
After bypassing the hollow carved screen, he came to the inner room of the flower hall. He looked up and saw Master Bao sitting in the middle, Gongsun in green shirt on the left, guards in red on the right, Wang Chao and Ma Han stood on one side, majestic and majestic.
It's true: the majesty needs no words, and the majesty is at ease.
Ma Han's reaction was the most sensitive. When he saw Jin Qian coming in, he rushed to the wall in two steps, and pushed all the windows open with a crackling sound. He was very agile.
Jin Qian's eyebrows twitched: Ma Han, you hate me enough!
As soon as the window was opened, the atmosphere in the room changed subtly.
Seeing Mr. Bao smiling secretly, Mr. Gongsun with narrow phoenix eyes, and Wang Chao's face flushed slightly, Ma Han was a little embarrassed.
On the other hand, the red-clothed guard next to Mr. Bao had a straight face, clear eyes, and nothing unusual—only the corners of his lips had a tendency to turn up.
Jin Qian sighed secretly, stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "This subordinate has met your lord."
"Catcher Jin, don't be too polite." Mr. Bao said, "The two behind you are the ones who want to avenge their grievances?"
"Exactly!" Jin Qian replied, turned around and whispered to Fan's mother and son, "Come and see your lord."
Fan Ronghua's complexion was slightly pale, and his expression was tense. He was about to kneel when he bent his knees, but Aunt Fan stretched out her crutches to support her body and said, "Huaer, don't be busy! I won't kneel again until Master Bao has seen the thing on Wei Niang's body." Not too late."
Everyone couldn't help being surprised when they heard the words, all of them were stunned.
However, Jin Qian collapsed for a while: Kaifeng Mansion is really so unlucky? !
Aunt Fan fumbled for a cotton bag from her bosom, handed it out, Wang Chao hurriedly stepped forward to take it, and presented it to Lord Bao.
Mr. Bao took the cloth bag and unwrapped it for a look, his expression suddenly changed, he stood up abruptly, and asked in astonishment, "Where did you get this thing?"
Aunt Fan's eyes drooped slightly, and after a moment of silence, she slowly said: "Since Mr. Bao knows this thing, he knows that this matter is of great importance. I hope Mr. Bao will stand back and wait for the old man to explain carefully."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed.
Mr. Gongsun's complexion was serious, Zhan Zhao's eyebrows were slightly frowned, Wang Chao and Ma Han looked at their lord with worries on their faces.
Although he didn't know what was in the bag, even Mr. Bao, who always said "Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing his face", reacted like this. In addition to what the old woman said at this time, it is natural to guess that this matter must be extremely difficult.
Just when everyone was horrified, they saw Jin Qian suddenly bowed his fists and shouted loudly: "My lord, I will take my leave first!"
The crowd was surprised again.
You must know that when working as a servant, only the boss instructs the officers and the subordinates to perform their duties. How can there be a yamen servant who decides to resign first.
Everyone didn't know that Jin Qian was acting wisely to protect himself because of the urgent situation at this time: it's bad, it's bad, looking at Mrs. Fan's posture, it's probably a "civet cat for the prince" drama!
Think about the boss behind the scenes this time: Guo Huai, the core eunuch who is entrenched in inner palace forces!The power center of the harem, the mother of the dynasty, the queen mother of the dynasty!
MYGOD!
The difficulty of trying this case and the high risk factor, how can other cases be compared? !
If you don't withdraw at this time, when will you wait? !
Thinking of this, Jin Qian made up his mind, shrunk his body, and stepped back quietly.
Mr. Bao was in shock, but now he heard Jin Qian's shout, but he was suddenly alert, his expression frightened, and he ordered: "Chao Dynasty, Ma Han, go out and tell Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to be on guard, and the government will ask questions in secret! "
"Your subordinates obey." Dynasty and Ma Han followed the order and withdrew.
Looking around, Mr. Bao looked cautious, and said in a deep voice: "At this time, the people in the house are all people entrusted with the life of this family, so there is no need for the old lady to refrain from speaking!"
Eh? !
Jin Qian, who was halfway back, turned pale with shock, and hurriedly clasped his fists and shouted anxiously: "My lord, my subordinate..."
"Brother Jin, help me to sit down." Aunt Fan beside her suddenly said.
Ala? !
Jin Qian stared into long eyes, opened his mouth to stuff eggs, looked around, looked at others, but saw that although the expressions of the people were unusually solemn, they didn't have the slightest doubt, as if it was normal for him to be here.
"Catcher Jin, please help the old lady to sit down." Mr. Bao nodded his hair and said.
Jin Qian suddenly felt a bitterness welling up in his chest:
Tsk tsk, it's really hard to turn back after being on a thief ship...
These many people are not hearing the trial, nor are they watching the fun, but they are all the plaintiffs in court, suing Guo Guangwei, the son of Guo Huai, the great eunuch of the inner palace.
Just listen to the beating of the drum in the hall, the shouting of the hall's prestige, Bao Qingtian, the imperial envoy, ascended to the hall to question the case, and the court judged Xihua's tyrant Guo Guangwei.
When entering the lobby, the common people must abide by the rules of the lobby, kneel down in a row, and look nervous.
As for the people who are squeezed outside the gate of the county government, there are not so many rules. They can pose in any posture, standing, squatting, because they really can't see the situation inside the hall, so they all look like rabbits He strained his ears to listen.Some ordinary people standing on the outermost floor couldn't even hear clearly, so they simply sat cross-legged on the spot, waiting for the result of the trial.
There are also a few people who just knelt down and prayed beside them, muttering in their mouths that they had a lot of words: "Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, please protect Master Bao for interrogating Lord Guo, and let us, Xihua County The people will also live a good life for a few days."
"God, please don't let Mr. Guo come out to harm the people again!"
"Heaven, earth, Tathagata Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, Lord Jesus, Santa Claus, no matter which one is successful, please pray that this case must be tried for three days and three nights. The sky is dark and the sky is dark, and people are tired and tired, so that people have no time to care about other things!"
Ok? !
The people who prayed for God were stunned for a moment, and when they turned their heads to look, they saw a person bowing and kneeling sideways. One person was thin and thin, with his eyes closed. It was Jin Qian who was acting as a storyteller.
A few people suddenly became unhappy and yelled:
"Hey, let me talk about the storyteller, what are you doing here to join in the fun?!"
"We all hope that the trial of this case will be completed soon, what kind of chaos are you creating here!"
"Go, go!"
"What are you arguing about, don't you see that we are busy here?!"
Jin Qian's detailed eyes suddenly opened, and his eyes were shining brightly, which startled these commoners immediately.
But in the next moment, Jin Qian's expression changed, like an eggplant that had been frosted, limp in one place, holding his head and continuing to mutter to himself.
The few commoners pricked up their ears and were even more puzzled.
I can vaguely understand a few words, but most of them are incomprehensible.
"Propaganda campaign, celebrity effect, idol effect... come from the masses, go to the masses, which one is right..."
"It's so easy to make an idol popular, how difficult it is..."
"Besides, the popular idol is such a glorious and prestigious profession. Back then, in our era, no matter how many people squeezed their heads, they couldn't make it..."
"But the cold light that the cat threw from the corner of its eye before it left, why is it so terrifying..."
"Tsk tsk, shouldn't we avoid the limelight first, take advantage of the chaos and escape back to Kaifeng, and wait for the cat's anger to subside before making a long-term plan..."
Speaking of this, Jin Qian's slender eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded frequently and said to himself:
"The golden cicada sheds its shell and hides Chen Cang in the dark—so good! So good!"
Several people shook their heads.
The little brother who told the story probably had never seen such a big scene, so he was frightened and stupid for a while.
At this moment, suddenly there was an uproar in the crowd in the inner circle, and the people in the outer circle suddenly regained their spirits and rushed forward.
Jin Qian had already planned a way out, seeing him now, he didn't want to miss it, so he rushed over.
When Jinqian sneaked into the crowd, he heard several voices shouting one after another, one sentence after another, orderly and lifelike, comparable to the live broadcast of modern professional journalists.
"Come on, come on, Mr. Guo has been suppressed! Hey, my hair is messed up, and my clothes are also crooked. I never thought that Mr. Guo would have such a day."
"Look at the one who testified in court, hey?! Isn't this our county magistrate? Why is he so disheartened?"
"Hush, whisper, Master Bao has spoken..."
A moment of silence.
"Hey, my grandma, the dog's head! The dog's head is brought out!"
"Press it up, press it up! Master Bao threw the stick, threw the stick! It's cut! It's cut! Oh, my mother!"
"My dear, this blood..."
There was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and then gradually turned into silence. Suddenly, no one knew who started it, and saw more than a hundred people inside and outside the county government office kneeling on the ground at the same time, bending over and knocking.
"Xie Qingtianbao sir!"
"Xie Qingtian, Mr. Bao!"
"Thank you, Master Bao!"
Inside and outside the county government office, the people knelt together, kowtowed and thanked, weeping with gratitude, shouting loudly, wetting the brick steps with tears, the scene was deeply touching.
Jin Qian was also deeply infected, knelt down and shouted a few words.
After a long while, the voice of the people's thanks gradually faded away.
After the people thanked them, they left happily one by one. After a while, only Jin Qian was left standing at the gate of the county government office, looking left and right, feeling worried: Are you going back to Kaifeng at this time?
Leaving without saying goodbye, and absenteeism and other crimes, isn't the iron rice bowl of Kaifeng Mansion insecure?
What's more, I'm so shy and alone, so I can't drink the northwest wind along the way.
Um--
Going back to the county government office, avoiding a certain fourth-rank guard, saying goodbye to Lao Bao, and declaring that there is an urgent matter to be done first, and then ask Gongsun Zhuzi for a loan... just for our good performance in Xihua County these days No matter how you say it, it can be regarded as a first achievement, and Lao Bao will give us some face no matter what! ?
Tsk tsk, so good!
Thinking of this, Jin Qian made up his mind that he was about to step into the gate of the county government office, but as soon as he lifted his foot, he felt that something was wrong, and he muttered in his heart: Should we go through the back door or the front door?
According to common sense, every time a case is closed, Mr. Gongsun will order the aftermath in the lobby of the government office, Master Bao will go back to the back office to rest, and the imperial guards will accompany him to protect him.
It can be inferred that the risk of entering from the back door of the county government office is extremely high; while from the front door to the lobby of the government office, you can see Gongsun, loaning tolls, and avoiding royal cats. This is the so-called "three birds with one stone"!
Thinking of this, Jin Qian narrowed his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and stepped into the gate of the county government office.
But as soon as the toes touched the blue bricks on the ground, I felt the hairs all over my body swish and stand upside down.
Jin Qian's heart trembled, he just wanted to back away and sneak away, but he was unable to recover.
"Catcher Jin, are you still coming in?"
The clear and bright voice came with the wind, not high, not low, not urgent, not slow, just like moist jade, like a clear spring, really nice to hear.
But to Jinqian's ears, it sounded like Yan Luo urging the soul.
Jin Qian was shocked suddenly, his hands and feet were cold in an instant, and he couldn't take half a step.
"Catcher gold?"
The melodious voice sounded again, still not high, not low, not urgent, not slow, but it was faintly icy cold, it was obviously coming from a distance, but it seemed to be ringing in the ears, it was obviously not loud, but it shook the eardrums Slight pain.
It can be seen that the person who spoke has profound internal skills, and can be ranked among the top five in the world.
Oh god!
Jin Qian struggled to swallow a mouthful of saliva, so he could only bite the bullet and walk towards the county government hall.
However, the distance of several zhang is like a long march of thousands of miles, every step weighs more than a thousand catties.
When Jin Qian came to the lobby, he was sweating through his cardigan.
There are five people standing straight above the fortified hall.
The two people on the left, one with a long face and the other with a sallow face, are Zhao Dynasty and Ma Han;
And the person in the middle, wearing red clothes with a jade belt, stands with a sword in his arms, with handsome eyebrows and cold eyes, thin lips slightly pursed, half smiling, half angry, just standing there quietly, but he feels dragons roaring and tigers roaring around him , The dark tide is raging.Standing directly above the lobby, the cold wind is blowing and the clouds are gloomy, a scene of "the wind is blowing and the cold is piercing to the bones, and the black clouds cover everything and everything is sad".
Jin Qian only felt chest tightness, shortness of breath, dizziness, and stiffness all over his body, which seemed to be a sign of a sudden cerebral infarction.
What, what's going on? !Why did the majestic imperial envoy's personal guards restlessly guard the imperial envoy's side, instead appearing in the lobby with the posture of settling accounts after autumn? !
Where is the dear and lovely Gongsun Zhuzi? !
What are the four big King Kongs with unlucky faces standing here?
Do you want to set up a square formation of green dragon, white tiger, vermilion bird and basalt to chop us off?
"Jin Qian, what are you doing standing here? Haven't you come forward to pay respects?"
The simple and honest voice rang in his ears, and when he looked up, he saw that Zhao Hu had come to his side at some point, and he was reminding himself in a low voice with an anxious expression on his face.
Jin Qian suddenly came back to his senses, hurriedly cupped his fists and bowed, and raised his voice: "This subordinate has seen several adults!"
"Hurry up, you don't need to be polite." The clear voice sounded again, and the usual melodious voice was like the spring breeze blowing the willows and the clouds floating in the sky, which made Jin Qian startled.
"This trip to Xihua County, Jin Bukuo took the lead and worked hard. It's also hard work."
Eh?
Jin Qian didn't dare to raise his head, he still clasped his fists and bowed, and hurriedly replied: "Master Zhan appreciates the award, this is the job of the subordinates."
"That's right—" Lang Lang's voice suddenly turned sharply, each word was heavy and tight, and the temperature in the room plummeted, "Master Bao just now praised Mr. Jin full of praise, saying that Mr. Jin is quick-witted." , sharp eloquence, and quite the air of a general; Mr. Gongsun also praised: Listening to a passage from Jin Bukuai is better than taking supplements for ten years. It makes people feel open, relaxed and happy, and full of joy!"
In an instant, the spring breeze turned into a cold current, the willows were blown to cut the ice, the sky was broken by lightning, and the clouds were left with cracks.It's really "a broken intestine, how many intestines can there be".
Hearing the four captains gasp at the same time.
Several cold sweats trickled down from the top of Jin Qian's head.
"I've, I've given the award, this, this, this is the job of my subordinates..."
"A matter of duty?" Shen Leng's voice suddenly turned up, turning into a cold ice knife with a sharp edge and flashing cold light. Leng swished around in the lobby, and finally pierced Jinqian's heart.
Jin Qian only felt his eyes go dark, and fell to the ground with a plop, shouting incoherently: "Master Zhan, you are a big man, with a belly that can carry a boat, and a big heart, comparable to a god. If you talk nonsense for a while, you have the right to be The stinky dog barks like a fart, so don't take it to heart at all! The admiration your subordinates have for Mr. Zhan is like a torrent of river water..."
……
... the whole room is silent.
For a long time, I didn't know whether Jin Qian had been frightened to the point of lack of oxygen in his brain or was in a state of insanity, but he vaguely heard someone coughing twice at an inappropriate time, and there seemed to be a hint of a smile mixed in between.
"Hurry up Jin, why do you offer such a big gift, and how can Zhan take care of you?" The conversation changed, the voice changed, the spring breeze was still blowing the willows, and the sky was still full of clouds. Jin Qian was shocked when he heard it, and he looked up instinctively. .
I saw the person in front of me, a pair of dark eyes, like autumn water, like cold stars, clear and pure, bright and brilliant, but there is a little bit of light in the depths of the eyes, which seems to ooze a hint of scheming.
"Zhan called Detective Jin to come here, just to inform him. Mr. Bao intends to release a police report in Xihua County for three days, hoping that those who have wronged can be redressed. It's just that Xihua County is located in a remote place after all. There are some unsatisfactory things. Please trouble Jin to clean up the entire county government office quickly, so that the rules are neat, and Master Bao will be raised to interrogate the case in the future, so that the name of Kaifeng Mansion will not be tarnished."
After a pause, he added politely, "What do you think, Captain Jin?"
Huh? !
Just so?
"The subordinates will definitely do their best!"
Jin Qian's figure was straight, his eyes were tense, and he clasped his fists and shouted anxiously, afraid that the person in front of him would change his mind.
Zhan Zhao nodded, turned around and walked towards the inner office, the red official robes were slowly fluttering, and his loud voice drifted with the wind, not high, not low, not urgent, not slow, just like moist jade, like a clear spring, really nice tight.
"All the servants of the county government want to arrest Guo Guangwei's remnant party, and I'm afraid they don't have the spare power to help Jin arrest them quickly."
ha?
"The people in Kaifeng Mansion want to protect the safety of the adults, and I'm afraid they will be at their wits' end."
Eh? ! !
"Hurry up, Jin, the lobby is an important place in the county government office, so it must be cleaned carefully, and it must be spotless; the study room, flower hall, garden, inner room, wing room, dozens of rooms in the back office, I'm afraid it will also be cleaned One time—there are three huts in the county government office, don't forget the gold catcher."
Finally, he added politely: "I'm afraid I will have to work hard to catch Jin."
The corner of Jin Qian's mouth twitched: "Subordinates, I will definitely do my best..."
The straight red shadow disappeared at the door, and the other four people in the lobby except Jin Qian all let out a sigh of relief in unison, with an expression of being blessed and finally escaped the catastrophe.
Wang Chao stepped forward, patted Jin Qian on the shoulder and said, "Hurry up, catch Jin, so I can take care of myself."
Ma Han stepped forward and said: "Catcher Jin...Master Zhan has a very good temper..." After half a sentence, he couldn't continue.
Zhang Long grinned happily, patted Jin Qian on the back twice and said: "My boy, I really have you, and the storytelling is good, that's—hehe, let's not talk about it, let's not talk about it."
Zhao Hu scratched his head and said, "Jin Qian, it looks like I can't help you anymore."
After finishing speaking, the four of them clasped their fists in salute at the same time, and hurriedly walked towards the inner office.
A few more words floated in the air:
"It's so mysterious, I was so scared that my legs went limp just now..."
"Mr. Gongsun didn't know what to think. He followed Mr. Bao into the back office and left us here. He didn't even think about it. With our skills, we are no match for Mr. Zhan... It's okay Mr. Zhan has always been good-tempered..."
"Hey—by the way, you didn't realize that your lord's handling of cases today is much more efficient than usual, and he even talked a lot less..."
"Hey, as for Mr. Zhan's evil spirit, who doesn't want to leave early? It's also because of Guo Guangwei's bad luck. He didn't say a word when he came up, and was so scared that he almost peed his pants when he was stared at by Mr. Zhan. He used all the tricks..."
Chirping, chirping, chirping...
The more Jin Qian heard it, the more embarrassed he became, and he couldn't help feeling angrily:
Mr. Bao Qingtian, the head of the Kaifeng Mansion, Mr. Bao Qingtian, the third-rank official of the dynasty, Mr. Gongsun, the chief secretary and chief think tank of the Kaifeng Mansion, and four sixth-rank school lieutenants under the seat of the famous Kaifeng Mr. Bao——
Can't even lower a cat!
What are you still doing...
-
The misty cooking smoke circles the path, and the peaks and clouds are full of Danxia.
At sunset, when the sun was shining in the west, it was time for dinner at the county government office. The smell of food was wafting in the county government office. The imperial envoys and the county government office servants were all in groups of three or five, six or seven, sitting around in the shade to enjoy dinner.
It was originally a leisurely scene, but when a person walked through it, it caused a commotion.
I saw this person passing through, with a thin body and a thin back, with slit-like eyes, dressed in the uniform of a Kaifeng mansion, and came leisurely with a rice bowl in his hand.
Following that person, everyone in the yamen seemed to have seen a ferocious ghost or beast, and retreated a few steps in a hurry, fearing that they would not be able to avoid it.
Seeing this, the man also seemed a little puzzled, walked to the courtyard, stopped, looked left and right, with a puzzled expression on his face.
When he was standing, the people around couldn't stand it anymore. All the servants in the Xihua County Yamen were covering their noses and their jobs, with expressions of daring to be angry but not daring to speak.
But the Kaifeng Mansion's entourage finally couldn't bear it anymore, they pushed and kicked a yamen servant to come out.
I saw that yamen servant, frowning tightly, with a face full of reluctance, he turned his head and took a few breaths before he came to the side of the man in the courtyard step by step and said: "I said that, cough, Jinqian, we also know how to show up. The work that the adults have arranged for you is not easy to do, but you should take care of your brothers! Do you think you can eat somewhere else?"
"Eh?" Jin Qian looked stunned, turned his head to look around the faces of the people, and suddenly became angry, and shouted in his mouth: "Could it be that even you are so disrespectful?!"
It wasn't enough for that stinky cat to bully us by itself, but it even united with the officials in Kaifeng Mansion to isolate us, it's bullying too much!
The officer was stunned when he heard the words, frowned and said, "I said, catcher Jin, what does this have to do with being loyal? We just feel this smell on you-cough cough, to be honest, some Disgusting..."
Before he finished speaking, his expression changed, and he hurriedly retreated a few steps, exhaling twice.
"Smell? What's the smell?"
Jin Qian blinked his eyes carefully, then suddenly slapped his forehead, rolled up his sleeves and pulled out a silver needle from the acupuncture point on his wrist.
All of a sudden, a smell of "stinky tofu with century-old essence and foot wrap with thousand-year essence" rushed into his nostrils, choking Jinqian so much that he almost couldn't catch his breath.
Quickly inserting the silver needle back to its original position, Jin Qian hurriedly took two steps back and said with a smile on his face: "I forgot, I forgot, we just finished sweeping the two huts, and we really don't smell very good, haha, Forgive me a lot, forgive me a lot..."
After all, he hurriedly took his job and went straight to the back door of the government office.
Only then did everyone heave a sigh of relief, return to their positions, and continue chatting and eating.
And Jin Qian, with a black face and a "fragrance" of "the place of reincarnation of the five grains", ran through the entire county office and out of the back door despite the obvious disgust and whispering of the crowd, and finally found a place. A secluded place.
Seeing that there was no one around, Jin Qian took out the medicine bag from his arms, picked out two pills, crushed them, sprinkled them on his body, and took out the silver needle in his wrist, sniffing and sniffing on his body and under his body. I went through it again and again, until there was only the smell of medicine left on my body, and there was no more "fragrance" left, then I calmed down, took back the silver needle, squatted on the threshold of the back door of the county government office, and picked up the rice bowl to eat.
Just after taking two bites, someone shouted:
"En, benefactor?!"
Jin Qian raised his eyes and saw two people, one old and one young, coming from the back alley.
The person on the left is dressed in a white shirt, with a slender waist wrapped in plain clothes, with picturesque eyebrows, jade cheeks and cherry lips, he is a handsome young man.
Jin Qian half-opened his mouth, and the rice that had just entered his mouth fell out with a sip of saliva.
It took a while to come back to his senses, and exclaimed in surprise:
"Brother Fruit?!"
"Engong!" Fan Ronghua's eyes were burning, he looked up and down Jin Qian's outfit, and said with surprise, "Engong is indeed a messenger from Kaifeng Mansion!"
"Eh?"
I saw Fan Ronghua turned his head and respectfully said to the old woman beside him: "Mother guessed right, Mr. En is indeed an official under Mr. Bao."
The old woman supported by Fan Ronghua is clothed with a wooden staff, her waist is straight, her eyes are kind, and although her eyes are out of focus, they are bright.Hearing what Fan Ronghua said, he showed a smile, nodded slightly in the direction where Jin Qian was standing, and said, "This little brother, can you tell me your name?"
The sky was full of fiery clouds, the lingering glow was shining, and the afterglow of the setting sun enveloped her body, surrounded by golden light, which made the old woman in front of her look noble and majestic.
Jin Qian was startled, instinctively put down his job, jumped up, bowed respectfully and clasped his fists and replied: "The villain's surname is Jin and his name is Qian, he is a fast arrester from Kaifeng Mansion."
"Jinqian... the name is quite interesting..." Aunt Fan smiled slightly, "I have something to meet with Mr. Bao, can I ask Brother Jin to lead the way?"
"See Mr. Bao?" Jin Qian straightened up, looked at the two people opposite him with narrow eyes, and said puzzledly, "Master Bao has made a clear order to sue for three days in Xihua County, no matter what kind of grievances you have. You two If you want to file a complaint, why don’t you go to the gate to beat the drum and complain?” After a pause, he suddenly said with a clear face, “Don’t worry, both of you, even if it’s the middle of the morning or at noon, as long as the drum for complaining is sounded, Mr. Bao will be promoted immediately. Never waste a moment."
When Aunt Fan heard this, her face was startled, and she said in a low voice after a long time: "Sure enough, it's rare to have such an upright official in the Song Dynasty, so why worry that the country will not last a hundred years?"
"Mother—" Fan Ronghua said in a low voice, "Let the child replace mother to beat the drums in the lobby..."
"Hua'er," Aunt Fan shook her head, patted the back of Fan Ronghua's hand, "No need." Then she raised her head and said to Jin Qian, "Brother Jin, what I'm complaining about is hard to explain in one word, and I can't explain it in the lobby. Please brother Jin lead the way."
After saying that, his expression changed, and his blind eyes shot straight at Jin Qian.
Although the eyes are blind, you can see people's hearts, and the clothes are ugly, but it is difficult to hide your dignity.
Jin Qian suddenly became excited, as if he had been cursed, he hurriedly bowed to let Fan's mother and son into the gate, and then drove a few steps forward, leading the way. I dare not be less.
The three of them entered through the back door of the county government office, and entered through the courtyard. They met many guards along the way. They were a little surprised when they saw the three of them, but when they saw Jin Qian's respectful appearance, and because of Jin Qian's special errands at this time and place, he was still there. He only knew that it was the helper Jin Qian invited to clean up the county government office, so he didn't ask any further questions, and no one stopped him along the way.
I saw Mrs. Fan walking forward steadily, with a steady demeanor; Fan Ronghua looked east and west, his face full of freshness and interest; but Jin Qian, who was beside the two of them, was downcast and kept muttering in his heart: alas, I just escaped from the cat's mouth, As soon as he turned around, he threw himself into the cat net again.Thinking that the cat must be following Lao Bao at this time, it's okay if the cat's anger has subsided, if it hasn't subsided... Tsk, we are looking for smoke for nothing!
It's strange to say, we can be counted as people who have seen the emperor, the uncle of the country, and the big scene, but we were stared at by Mrs. Fan's blind eyes, as if a ghost was obsessed, and we couldn't say a word of rejection... …
Thinking of this, Jin Qian's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but look up at the old woman beside him.
I saw that Mrs. Fan's face was solemn and her eyes were majestic. Although she was dressed in coarse linen, her gestures and gestures always revealed a natural nobility.
Oh! !
Jin Qian suddenly stopped, his eyes widened, his eyeballs rolled back and forth several times, and then he recalled the three souls and seven souls, and wondered in his heart: Could it be, could this old lady be the one who exchanged the famous civet cat for the prince in the unofficial history? That...what concubine is here?
Tsk, impossible, absolutely impossible!
After all, "civet cat for prince" is unofficial history, and there is no historical evidence, no literature, and no basis at all.
Although Guo Huai was indeed a real person, this "civet cat for the prince" may not necessarily be true.
What's more, this old Bao has just killed a small crab, and in a blink of an eye he has to uproot an old locust tree. Kaifeng Mansion's luck is not so bad!
Nervousness, purely personal nervousness.
Although Jin Qian couldn't help comforting himself, but his heart was still hanging in the air, he felt uncomfortable no matter what, he was worried and walked with difficulty along the way, and finally came to the door of Laobao's resident flower hall.
Standing straight in front of the flower hall, there are two people standing straight, wearing sixth-grade military uniforms, with broad sabers on their waists. They are Zhang Long and Zhao Hu.
When the two of them saw Jin Qian, they were taken aback for a moment, and then looked up and down, their faces were not tense in the end, and they became happy.
I saw Zhang Long stepped forward two steps, moved closer to Jin Qian's side and smelled it, and said, "Those guards are talking nonsense, and they said that Jin Qian is full of stench, and you can't get close, that's not the case at all. What's the matter!"
Zhao Hu also interjected: "That's right, that's right, Jin Qian, you have no smell at all except a little bit of medicine."
After all, he nodded his head vigorously twice.
Jin Qian was really dumbfounded at this moment.
It stinks...
smelly...
can't get close...
Look what adjectives they are!
Why didn't our achievements in storytelling spread so quickly?
It's a good thing not to go out, and the reputation of "stinky" spreads thousands of miles!
"My lords, the two behind my subordinates have suffered a great grievance. If I want to see Lord Bao, I would like to bother you to inform me."
After adjusting his expression, Jin Qian clasped his fists and said.
Zhang Long and Zhao Hu suddenly looked serious, looked up at Fan's mother and son behind Jin Qian, nodded and said: "Catcher Jin, wait a moment!"
After finishing speaking, Zhao Hu turned around and entered the house. Not long after, he saw Zhao Hu hurried out and said, "Catcher Jin, my lord, please take these two mother and son inside."
"...Yes..." Jin Qian clasped his fists in salute, rolled his eyes carefully, pulled Zhao Hu past him and whispered, "Brother Zhao, is Mr. Zhan in the flower hall?"
Zhao Hu was stunned: "Master Zhan is naturally protecting Master Bao."
Jin Qian suddenly changed into a weeping face, and continued: "Brother Zhao, I have something to discuss with you. The mother and son will bother you to bring them in, and the subordinates will not go in..."
"Catcher Jin?" Zhao Hu was puzzled.
"Oh, a big man, mother-in-law, what are you doing?!" Zhang Long yelled loudly behind him, stretched out his hand and patted Jinqian on the back, and said, "Master Zhan won't eat you, let alone this mother and son are Jinqian. Quickly, you brought it, how can the two of us bring it?"
Jin Qian was photographed staggering, his body fell forward, and one foot had already stepped into the threshold of the flower hall.
His face twitched for a while, Jin Qian had no choice but to bite the bullet and turn back to Fan Ronghua's mother and son and said, "You two, please follow me."
It's just that when he turned around, he happened to catch a glimpse of the optimistic look on the faces of the two captains.
Well you two guys, let's remember.
After bypassing the hollow carved screen, he came to the inner room of the flower hall. He looked up and saw Master Bao sitting in the middle, Gongsun in green shirt on the left, guards in red on the right, Wang Chao and Ma Han stood on one side, majestic and majestic.
It's true: the majesty needs no words, and the majesty is at ease.
Ma Han's reaction was the most sensitive. When he saw Jin Qian coming in, he rushed to the wall in two steps, and pushed all the windows open with a crackling sound. He was very agile.
Jin Qian's eyebrows twitched: Ma Han, you hate me enough!
As soon as the window was opened, the atmosphere in the room changed subtly.
Seeing Mr. Bao smiling secretly, Mr. Gongsun with narrow phoenix eyes, and Wang Chao's face flushed slightly, Ma Han was a little embarrassed.
On the other hand, the red-clothed guard next to Mr. Bao had a straight face, clear eyes, and nothing unusual—only the corners of his lips had a tendency to turn up.
Jin Qian sighed secretly, stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "This subordinate has met your lord."
"Catcher Jin, don't be too polite." Mr. Bao said, "The two behind you are the ones who want to avenge their grievances?"
"Exactly!" Jin Qian replied, turned around and whispered to Fan's mother and son, "Come and see your lord."
Fan Ronghua's complexion was slightly pale, and his expression was tense. He was about to kneel when he bent his knees, but Aunt Fan stretched out her crutches to support her body and said, "Huaer, don't be busy! I won't kneel again until Master Bao has seen the thing on Wei Niang's body." Not too late."
Everyone couldn't help being surprised when they heard the words, all of them were stunned.
However, Jin Qian collapsed for a while: Kaifeng Mansion is really so unlucky? !
Aunt Fan fumbled for a cotton bag from her bosom, handed it out, Wang Chao hurriedly stepped forward to take it, and presented it to Lord Bao.
Mr. Bao took the cloth bag and unwrapped it for a look, his expression suddenly changed, he stood up abruptly, and asked in astonishment, "Where did you get this thing?"
Aunt Fan's eyes drooped slightly, and after a moment of silence, she slowly said: "Since Mr. Bao knows this thing, he knows that this matter is of great importance. I hope Mr. Bao will stand back and wait for the old man to explain carefully."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed.
Mr. Gongsun's complexion was serious, Zhan Zhao's eyebrows were slightly frowned, Wang Chao and Ma Han looked at their lord with worries on their faces.
Although he didn't know what was in the bag, even Mr. Bao, who always said "Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing his face", reacted like this. In addition to what the old woman said at this time, it is natural to guess that this matter must be extremely difficult.
Just when everyone was horrified, they saw Jin Qian suddenly bowed his fists and shouted loudly: "My lord, I will take my leave first!"
The crowd was surprised again.
You must know that when working as a servant, only the boss instructs the officers and the subordinates to perform their duties. How can there be a yamen servant who decides to resign first.
Everyone didn't know that Jin Qian was acting wisely to protect himself because of the urgent situation at this time: it's bad, it's bad, looking at Mrs. Fan's posture, it's probably a "civet cat for the prince" drama!
Think about the boss behind the scenes this time: Guo Huai, the core eunuch who is entrenched in inner palace forces!The power center of the harem, the mother of the dynasty, the queen mother of the dynasty!
MYGOD!
The difficulty of trying this case and the high risk factor, how can other cases be compared? !
If you don't withdraw at this time, when will you wait? !
Thinking of this, Jin Qian made up his mind, shrunk his body, and stepped back quietly.
Mr. Bao was in shock, but now he heard Jin Qian's shout, but he was suddenly alert, his expression frightened, and he ordered: "Chao Dynasty, Ma Han, go out and tell Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to be on guard, and the government will ask questions in secret! "
"Your subordinates obey." Dynasty and Ma Han followed the order and withdrew.
Looking around, Mr. Bao looked cautious, and said in a deep voice: "At this time, the people in the house are all people entrusted with the life of this family, so there is no need for the old lady to refrain from speaking!"
Eh? !
Jin Qian, who was halfway back, turned pale with shock, and hurriedly clasped his fists and shouted anxiously: "My lord, my subordinate..."
"Brother Jin, help me to sit down." Aunt Fan beside her suddenly said.
Ala? !
Jin Qian stared into long eyes, opened his mouth to stuff eggs, looked around, looked at others, but saw that although the expressions of the people were unusually solemn, they didn't have the slightest doubt, as if it was normal for him to be here.
"Catcher Jin, please help the old lady to sit down." Mr. Bao nodded his hair and said.
Jin Qian suddenly felt a bitterness welling up in his chest:
Tsk tsk, it's really hard to turn back after being on a thief ship...
