Go to Kaifeng to be a civil servant

Guo Huai, Eunuch Guo, and Kaifeng Governor Bao Zheng, Lord Bao, one is a domineering figure in the inner palace, and the other is an upright official who works hard for the country and complains for the people. Naturally, there is little contact.To put it nicely, it is "differences do not conspire with each other", and to put it bluntly, it is "well water does not offend river water".

But today, this Eunuch Guo went all the way around Bianjing and came to the gate of the city to wait for Mr. Bao for no reason.

And those who knew the truth about the case of "civet cat for prince" were even more amazed, but they couldn't show half of it on their faces.

Master Bao nodded slightly, clasped his fists and continued to salute:

"Eunuch Guo, the government is polite!"

Guo Huai raised his face, and politely replied:

"Haha, our family can't afford it, Master Bao is being polite!"

After finishing these two sentences, the two seemed to have nothing to say, they just stared at each other with their stomachs puffed out.

I saw that in front of the city gate, on one side was an imperial guard team of hundreds of people, flying banners and banners, waiting in full force;

Of the two leading elder brothers, one has a dark complexion, sharp eyes like lightning, and a burning righteousness;

For a while, the wind condensed and the sound was stagnant, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

The two looked at each other for a while, only to see Lord Bao calm down, clasped his fists and said, "I don't know if Eunuch Guo came to the gate to welcome our mansion into the city, but do you have something important to tell?"

"Master Bao, what are you talking about?" Eunuch Guo squinted his eyes sideways, twitched his eyelids, and said with a smile: "Our family just wanted Master Bao to go to Chenzhou for a hard journey, so we waited at the city gate for small profits. Good for Mr. Bao to catch the wind."

Speaking of this, he turned his head slightly, and said to the little eunuch behind him: "Have you not presented it yet?"

A little eunuch behind him hastily trotted forward with a tray, on which there was a sandalwood box inlaid with gold and flowers.

"Eunuch Guo, this..." Mr. Bao was surprised.

Everyone in Kaifeng Mansion was also very surprised.

Could it be that Eunuch Guo came here specially to give Mr. Bao a gift?

Before the gate of the capital?

In plain sight?

So much fanfare—a gift? !

Isn't he afraid that Mr. Bao will punish him for a crime of bribery?

Weird, really weird!

Eunuch Guo continued to laugh and said: "Our family also knows that Mr. Bao has always been an upright official, and vulgar things are hard to catch Mr. Bao's eyes, so our family will not give away those precious gold, silver and jewelry, so as not to make Mr. Bao laugh. "

Speaking of this, he paused, looked up at Mr. Bao who was full of surprise, smiled slightly, and raised his hand to open the lid of the box.

But I saw ten celadon bottles neatly placed in the box, and the mouths of the bottles were all sealed with red wax.

Guo Huai picked up a porcelain bottle, shook it lightly and said, "It's just that our family heard that Master Bao found his distant aunt who had been separated for many years on his way back to Beijing, and the old lady suffered from eye diseases all the year round. The ten bottles of medicine in this box are Our family invited all the imperial physicians from the imperial palace hospital to work hard and exhausted all the precious medicinal materials to prepare it. It must have helped the old lady's eye disease to some extent. Meager kindness is not a respect, but I hope Master Bao will accept it."

These words are affectionate, polite and decent, but to the ears of several people in Kaifeng Mansion, it is like a thunderbolt from the blue sky.

Master Bao found his distant aunt on the way. This aunt suffered from eye diseases...

Such little details, Guo Huai, who is thousands of miles away, can know the details and know them well, and even the medicine for eye diseases has been prepared early...

God!

How many eyes and ears does Guo Huai have?

How many eyes and ears were placed in the imperial envoy?

How much news did these ears and eyes hear?

How much does Guo Huai know?

How much did he guess about Empress Li's identity?

When I thought about how everything I said, did, and planned along the way was under the supervision of Guo Huai, how could it not make people feel chills down their spines and make their hair stand on end.

Master Bao couldn't help but froze when he heard the words, but after a short while, he returned to his normal color, clasped his fists and bowed to salute, and replied in an orderly manner: "Eunuch Guo is polite, my aunt is just a commoner, and it's really tiresome for Eunuch Guo to be so worried. I am ashamed of it."

Eunuch Guo raised his broom eyebrows slightly and said: "Master Bao's words are wrong. Master Bao is loyal to the emperor and the people, diligent and honest. Everyone knows that our family is just offering a small gift to the old lady. It is really not worth mentioning, it is not worth mentioning, haha Ha ha……"

"Eunuch Guo is polite..."

"Master Bao, what about this gift—?"

"Bao Zheng was grateful and accepted it for my aunt."

"Hahaha..." Guo Huai burst out laughing, his whole body trembling with fat, "Since that's the case, our family can feel at ease. But our family has been waiting at the city gate for a long time, and now it's so easy to see Mrs. Bao and the old lady. If you don't pay respects to the old lady, it will be a bit unreasonable."

As soon as these words came out, Master Bao was shocked, he straightened up suddenly, and stared straight at the greasy father-in-law opposite him with smile lines.

The expressions of the rest of the people also changed.

The faces of the four captains turned pale, Mr. Gongsun's face turned blue, the imperial guard's face was frozen, and Fan Ronghua's face was dark.

Jin Qian's complexion was the most colorful, he walked through all the blue, black, blue and purple, and finally settled on the pale white.

It's over, it's over, it's definitely something bad, it's all over!

From this point of view, this Eunuch Guo must have heard the wind and guessed a bit of the strange identity of Mrs. Bao, the aunt who appeared out of thin air, so he used the name of "gifting" here to act as a "recognition".

Empress Li has been in the palace for many years, and has always been on good terms with Guo Huai's master, Empress Liu. How could Guo Huai not recognize him?

If Guo Huai could recognize Empress Li—that would be fine!

At this time, Chen Lin has not been invited, the Eight Kings have not met, there is no witness, and the backing is still lacking, but Li Hou's trump card is revealed first. How can this play continue?

But if Guo Huai is not allowed to see Queen Li—

Why?

At any rate, he is a majestic eunuch in charge of the inner palace, and he is welcoming the team and giving gifts. It is reasonable to see this adult's aunt.

If everyone blocked them repeatedly and ignored them, not to mention the embarrassment of Eunuch Guo and his backer, the Empress Dowager, wouldn't it make Guo Huai even more suspicious just by talking about this move!

See, no!

No, it's not right either!

What should I do? !

I saw that Guo Huai glanced around, raised the corner of his mouth, wobbled forward a few steps, clasped his fists and said: "Master Bao, can you please lead the way and let our family greet the old lady?"

Master Bao frowned and was speechless for a while.

Guo Huai bypassed Master Bao and came behind Master Bao, with a sneer on his face: "Master Bao, please!"

"... Eunuch Guo, please!" Master Bao sighed secretly, turned around, and replied respectfully.

"Please!" Guo Huai said embarrassingly.

The two looked at each other at the same time, and stepped forward at the same time.

Standing on the side of Li Hou's sedan chair, Jin Qian watched Guo Huai's eyes gleam coldly, with a smile on his mouth, trembling step by step, as he stepped forward squarely, he felt that the hair on the top of his head trembled with each step.

Don't say that Jin Qian is like this, even Fan Ronghua standing beside the sedan chair, the four captains behind Mr. Bao, and Mr. Gongsun who is not far away are all looking worse and worse.

Suddenly, a figure flashed in front of him, and the red shadow on the side of the sedan chair moved to the front of the sedan chair without any breath.

The red clothes are like fire, and the body is as straight as pine.

Hong Ying just stood quietly in front of the sedan chair, and the atmosphere changed slightly.

Everyone's expressions eased at the same time, and they returned to normal expressions.

The only exception was Jin Qian's complexion, which suddenly turned green and yellow.

Not for anything else, just because when Zhan Zhao moved away, Jin Qian clearly heard an order Shen Yin, which was very familiar: "Catcher Jin, hurry up, medicine!"

Concise and concise, easy to understand - no wonder!

Jin Qian was stunned immediately, and he yelled helplessly in his heart:

Cat, you charged forward and dragged us onto the mat... Tsk, that's all, it's not the first time anyway, we're used to being matted... But, Mr. Cat, why can't you even say a word today? neat?

medicine?What medicine?

Traditional Chinese Medicine, Western Medicine, Combination of Chinese and Western Medicine?

Poison, aphrodisiac, or dog skin plaster?

Mr. Mao, you should add an attributive!

This is a no-brainer, so where do we start from guessing?

What's more, the old locust tree came to smash the ground, so what's the use of preparing medicine?

You can't throw this Guo Huai poison into the moat and let it go...

"Madam, Guo Huai is being polite here."

Jin Qianzheng's mind was spinning a thousand times, and his brain was racing. He suddenly heard a greeting coming from the front, and he came back to his senses in an instant. When he looked up, his scalp felt numb.

I saw that Guo Huai had already come to the sedan chair, clasping his hands in a bow, with slanted eyes raised up, reddish lips slanted, such a classic expression of a villainous eunuch.

Li Hou's car curtain was closed, motionless and silent.

Master Bao interjected: "Auntie, in front of the sedan chair is the head of the four divisions and eight divisions of the Inner Palace. Guo Huai and Eunuch Guo came to pay auntie well."

There was silence.

After a long time, I heard an old voice from inside the sedan chair saying: "I'm just a woman who sells vegetables in the market, but the adults in the inner palace came to pay my respects, nephew, isn't this a disgrace to my old woman?"

"Auntie is right..." Mr. Bao bowed his head aside.

Guo Huai heard the voice from inside the sedan chair, squinted his eyes slightly, and the broom twitched his brows, and smiled again: "The old lady's words are wrong. Mr. Bao has been an official for several years, and the merits are in the community. Mr. Bao's aunt, of course He deserves this gift from our family."

After finishing speaking, he raised his eyes to look at the airtight sedan chair curtain, raised his eyebrows and said: "But the old lady is not even willing to show her face now, could it be that she dislikes our family's identity?"

"Eunuch Guo is serious." Master Bao said with his head bowed.

Guo Huai raised his eyelids, glanced at Mr. Bao and said, "If it wasn't for this, our family came to greet Mr. Bao's aunt in person, but the old lady didn't even open the sedan chair curtain. What is it if you look down on our family?" After a pause, the fat on his face trembled slightly, he scanned the surrounding people, and continued, "Our family also reported to the Queen Mother and her elders for this trip. Now that we are in such a situation, how can our family answer the Queen Mother?"

The translation of this sentence is: Damn, even the old lady of your boss, the emperor, dares to offend, don't you guys want to mess around? !

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed, and they couldn't help but look at Li Housu's sedan chair at the same time.

After a while, a voice came from the sedan chair saying:

"Eunuch Guo is going too far. My wife, I just caught wind and cold accidentally on the road. I can't see the wind. I hope my father-in-law will forgive me."

"Oh?" Guo Huai raised his eyebrows and said, "It turns out that the old lady is in poor health. Our family will send someone to invite the imperial physician to come and treat the old lady!"

"That's not necessary. It's just a little typhoid fever. It can be cured after two days of rest."

"Hey? How can you be so hasty?" Guo Huai broom frowned, "Our family is not talented, but we also know a little bit about medicine. How about you diagnose the old lady's pulse?!"

After finishing speaking, Dangyou stepped forward two steps to the sedan chair, raised his head and was about to raise the curtain of the sedan chair.

But as soon as the arm was raised in the air, it was blocked by a black iron scabbard.

"Eunuch Guo, wait a minute."

Zhan Zhao held the huge que in his hand, stopped in front of Guo Huai, and said loudly.

Guo Huai narrowed his eyes: "Guard Zhan?"

Then there was another voice from the sedan chair:

"Eunuch Guo doesn't need to worry too much. Mr. Gongsun has already treated the old lady. The disease is no longer serious, so there is no need to bother Eunuch."

Guo Huai smiled and said: "Our family naturally believes in Mr. Gongsun's medical skills. Since the old lady's illness is not serious, why can't I see my family?"

"..." There was a sudden silence in the sedan chair.

Eunuch Guo raised the corners of his eyebrows, sneered, raised his arm, and was about to lift the car curtain again.

"Clang!" The scabbard snapped.

The hilt of Juque's sword pressed tightly against Lifting Curtain's arm, not retreating.

"Eunuch Guo, wait a minute!" Lang Lang's voice sounded.

Guo Huai Changhang's complexion changed, and he slowly raised his head, staring straight at the red-clothed guard in front of him with slanted eyes, and said coldly, "Guard Zhan—why is this?!"

"The old lady is not feeling well, and the wind cannot be seen. Please forgive me, Eunuch Guo."

Zhan Zhao's expression was respectful, calm and calm, but there was a faint chill in Lang Lang's voice.

Guo Huai squinted his eyes and opened them slightly, half of the bags under his eyes and his oily face twitched uncontrollably: "Guard Zhan is very considerate of the old lady!"

"Eunuch Guo, thank you." Zhan Zhaowei nodded, and replied respectfully, the Juque sword in his hand was still refusing to give up.

"Eunuch Guo," Lord Bao said behind him, "this government also knows that Eunuch Guo is out of good intentions, but my aunt and the old man can't see the wind at this time, but Eunuch Guo insists on seeing him. If the tired old man's condition worsens, wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse ?!"

"Master Bao!" Guo Huai's expression changed immediately, and he turned around and said fiercely, "Our family has come to pay respects to the old lady under the order of the Queen Mother! Could it be that Lord Bao is going to disobey the order of the Queen Mother?"

Master Bao glared sharply, his eyes were like lightning, and he raised his voice: "Didn't Eunuch Guo ask you to be safe?!"

"I haven't even seen the old lady, how can I say hello?!" Guo Huai shouted back.

"Eunuch Guo is so unreasonable?!"

"Does Master Bao want to disobey the Queen Mother's order?!"

One with a black face and one with an oily face, both of them glared at each other, their aura was evenly matched, and the atmosphere was extremely tense, ready to explode.

Jin Qian huddled on the side of Li's rear sedan chair, his eyes shifted from Mr. Bao to Mr. Guo Huai, and then from Mr. Bao to Mr. Bao.

A black fat man, a greasy fat man, two fat people face off, evenly divided, tsk!The situation is not good...

Ok? !

There was a sudden chill down his back, the familiar feeling made Jin Qian tremble all over, and he raised his eyes instinctively, it was a coincidence that he was facing a pair of black eyes.

With deep star eyes, he looked straight at Jin Qian.

The unclear words just now rang in my ears again:

"Golden catcher, medicine!"

A little bit of cold sweat oozes from Jin Qian's forehead.

The mind of a feline animal is really difficult to understand...

Tsk, don't worry about it, since this cat needs medicine, we'll give it all!

Thinking of this, Jin Qian made up his mind, quickly untied the belt around his waist, took out several herbal pellets, swung his arms and threw them out.

Except for Eunuch Guo who turned his back on Jinqian, everyone in Kaifeng mansion saw Jinqian's move very clearly. They thought it was Jinqian's strange move, so they didn't stop him.But no one expected that Jin Qian's casual throw would have such unpredictable consequences.

rumbling rumbling...

Just heard a few loud bangs...

In the blink of an eye, thick smoke billowed up all around, covering the sky and the sun, and changing the color of the situation.

In an instant, nearly a hundred people in the imperial envoy team were all enveloped in billowing thick smoke.The thick smoke, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, and purple, has all kinds of colors, mixed in one place, and the smell is even more varied, mixed with fragrance and smell, mixed with sour and bitter, extremely unpleasant, dazzling and spicy, straight to the eye Everyone's brains.

In the thick smoke and fog, the sounds of coughing and sneezing can be heard endlessly, mixed with the sound of vomiting.

There are two words to describe it: the sky is falling and the earth is falling, and ghosts are crying and gods are howling.

During this period, several voices were exceptionally clear and penetrating, hitting everyone's eardrums.

"There's an assassin!" Lang Ran's voice sounded first, and it sounded somewhat similar to the voice of a certain imperial guard, and as the voice rose suddenly, it seemed that a red shadow flew out of him.

"Ahem...Come here, protect Eunuch Guo!" The voice was like a bell, and it was the most familiar voice above the Kaifeng Mansion lobby, but at this moment it sounded a little lacking in confidence.

"Chao Dynasty, Ma Han, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and Guard Zhan, hurry up and escort Eunuch Guo back to the palace!" His usually elegant voice was a little high at this time, but...why did it sound a little out of tune...

"Assassins?! There are assassins?! Come on, protect our house! Cough cough cough?! Come... cough cough... Zhan, Zhan guards?! Why are you grabbing our collar?!" Guang listened From the sound, one can think of Guo Huai's fat body trembling.

"For the sake of the father-in-law's safety, the only thing I can do is offend my subordinates!" Lang Lang's voice seemed to be a little irritable, and when he heard it suddenly, it seemed to be in danger.

"Hey! Cough cough, when did our family say we were going back to the palace?! Lord Bao—Bao Heizi!! Cough cough! Zhan Zhao, you put down our house for me, do you hear..." The shouting voice suddenly went away, It was as if being blown away by the gust of wind, which shows how fast the person who spoke was moving.

Looking at the team of Kaifeng Mansion, a handsome young man next to Li's sedan chair had tears in his eyes, coughing dryly, and asked a thin guard next to him while coughing: "Cough, cough, Xiao Jin, what did you throw away? "

"I hate Da..." (Note: Smoke bomb...)

"Ahem... what are you doing with a cloth on your face?"

"King belly rice giant..." (Note: Gas mask...)

"Ahem, it's really choking..."

"Cross-foot-to-foot..."

"Cough cough cough..."

……

Such a tragic situation lasted for a stick of incense, and the thick smoke gradually dispersed. Before looking at the city gate, it was already a messy scene.

Hundreds of mighty guards from the imperial envoy team, and a dozen or so majestic eunuchs from the inner palace, all with green faces and red eyes, lay on the ground coughing continuously, and some of them with weak resistance had already vomited and fell unconscious.

Among the crowd, there was only one person with astonishing concentration, who was able to stand still as usual, although his face was dark and dark, but his expression was calm, and when he fixed his eyes, it was Mr. Bao, the prefect of Kaifeng.

Master Bao frowned sharply, looked around, and raised his voice, "Where are Chao Chao, Ma Han, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu?"

"My lord, this subordinate is here..." The voice came from not far away, and the four captains got up from the ground coughing and panting, their faces belonged to the same family as everyone on the ground, and belonged to the blue-green department.

Lord Bao frowned: "Where is the Zhan guard?"

"The subordinate is here!" A clear voice came from a high place.

Everyone raised their eyes, and saw a red shadow approaching from the sky, like a frightened bird, as fast as lightning, like a peerless lightness kung fu.

I saw that Zhan Zhao's face was as usual, his eyes were clear, and he clasped his fists on the ground and respectfully said: "My lord, Eunuch Guo has returned to the palace safely under the escort of his subordinates, please rest assured, my lord."

Master Bao took a fixed look at Zhan Zhao's face, his dark face moved slightly, nodded and said, "Lao Zhan is here to protect you."

"It's the job of the subordinate."

Master Bao nodded, then turned his head to look around, and asked in doubt, "Mr. Gongsun?"

"Students are..."

I saw Mr. Gongsun stepping out from behind Mr. Bao's official sedan chair, his expression was as usual, except that he wore a cloth scarf around his mouth and nose, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a belt.

This time, not only Master Bao, but even the face of the four captains couldn't help but twitch slightly.

Mr. Bao looked around the crowd, nodded his head and said solemnly: "Follow me to see the old lady."

Everyone nodded, and followed Mr. Bao to Li's rear sedan chair.

But when everyone took a closer look, they were a little dumbfounded.

On the left side of the sedan chair, Fan Ronghua's eyes were red, he was coughing and sneezing profusely.

The plain sedan chair had a tall curtain, and Li Houduan was sitting in the sedan chair with his eyes closed and his palms on his chest. Although his face was a little pale, compared to the rest of the crowd, he was several times better.Jinqian on the right side, with a veil covering his face, is fanning the people in the sedan chair with the hem of his clothes up, and in the mouth of the side fan, he is very courteous: "Old lady, the one you ate just now, but we put all our heart and soul into it. The refined "Qingxin Pill" can be described as a great tonic for "curing the disease and nourishing the body"! As long as you take the medicine, you will be able to recover in a short time. Let's let the air out and take a breath. If you If there is any discomfort, please tell us quickly, and we will immediately ask Mr. Gongsun to diagnose your pulse—"

"Ahem..." Mr. Gongsun coughed twice.

Only then did Jin Qian catch sight of Lord Bao and his party, he quickly straightened his body, bowed and cupped his fists: "This subordinate has seen you before!"

Master Bao twitched his face again, stepped forward to salute, "Is Auntie okay?"

Hearing Lord Bao's voice, Empress Li slowly raised her head, smiled slightly and said, "Nephew, don't worry, everything is fine."

Master Bao nodded, then turned to Fan Ronghua and said, "Is nephew Fan Xian still okay?"

"Ahem, Mr. Lao Bao, please take care, Ronghua...it's okay." Fan Ronghua replied while coughing.

Only then did Master Bao calm down, turned around and raised his voice: "Come on, prepare the sedan chair, and go home!"

"Subordinates obey!" Several people beside him clasped their fists together and said.

Everyone in Kaifeng Mansion got the order, so they immediately reorganized the team and prepared to enter the city and return to the mansion.

However, the smog from everyone's hands was so bad that some of the guards couldn't even stand still. After a full hour of tossing, the imperial envoy returned to its original formation and marched towards the city.

However, within an hour, everyone heard a few words of profound dialogue.

"Mr. Gongsun, tomorrow I would like to ask you to prepare a few face-covering cloths for the residence in case of emergencies."

"What the adults said is true, and the students also feel that it is necessary."

"...Well, let's prepare a few for Dynasty and the others."

"Students understand. What about the guards?"

"Exhibition Guard..."

"……grown ups."

"...Naturally we have to prepare."

"Student understands..."

-

It was dusk when Master Bao's imperial envoy hurried back to the Kaifeng government office.Hastily arranged the personnel properly, Master Bao hurriedly summoned several confidantes and Empress Li's mother and son to discuss important matters in the flower hall.

Outside the flower hall, the four major lieutenants were waiting in full force, concentrating on defense.In the flower hall, Empress Li was seated in the middle, Fan Ronghua and Mr. Bao were separated on the left and right, Mr. Gongsun and Zhan Zhao stood beside Mr. Bao, Jin Qian had nowhere to stand, so he reluctantly stood a foot away from Fan Ronghua.

Behind Li, his expression was gloomy, his eyes were blind and without brilliance, he fixedly looked towards Mr. Bao and said, "Bao Qing, Guo Huai came here this time, could it be..."

Master Bao's face darkened, he clasped his fists and said, "Report to the Empress Dowager, then Guo Huai may have already guessed the identity of the Empress Dowager..."

Empress Li frowned, pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Bao Qing concealed the identity of the Ai family so secretly, so Guo Huai could still find out the identity of the Ai family... Could it be that Guo Huai is really so powerful?"

Master Bao glanced at Empress Li, frowned and thought for a while, then turned sideways and said, "I don't know what Mr. Gongsun's opinion is?"

Mr. Gongsun meditated for a while with his beard, then he cupped his fists and said, "The queen mother and your lord don't need to worry too much. According to the students, Guo Huai's opening at the gate of the city today revealed a flaw!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard it

Master Bao looked up at Mr. Gongsun, and said solemnly, "Sir, please elaborate."

Mr. Gongsun nodded and continued: "What Guo Huai did at the city gate today has two purposes. One is to recognize people in the name of asking for security. But in the eyes of the students, this is really the next best thing to do. .”

Speaking of this, everyone was a little puzzled and looked at Mr. Gongsun for no reason.

Mr. Gongsun smiled slightly and said: "Guo Huai wants to confirm the identity of the queen mother while greeting him. It would be best if he saw the queen mother, but if the whole Kaifeng mansion is desperate to prevent him from seeing him, he can also confirm the identity of the queen mother. The plan is to kill two birds with one stone, but how could Guo Huai expect that a scene of 'catch the assassin' will suddenly appear and completely disrupt his careful plan."

Speaking of this, Mr. Gongsun's face became even more smiling, his phoenix eyes drifted towards Jin Qian, and he slightly lowered his voice and said: "Actually, let alone Guo Huai, who would have expected that in Kaifeng Mansion—"

In an instant, everyone's eyes were like torches, and they shot at Jin Qian brilliantly. For a while, there was no sound in the room, and a heartbeat could be heard.

Jin Qian only felt that his scalp was numb, and he sneaked a look around, but when he saw that the faces of the people were unkind, his eyelids twitched, and he hurried to save himself: "Mr.

Mr. Gongsun narrowed his phoenix eyes, retracted his gaze, and continued: "Secondly, this Guo Huai wants to use today's action to imply to the Lord that everything we do is under Guo Huai's supervision, and to threaten the Lord not to act rashly. .It's just that this kind of practice is self-defeating."

Everyone is unknown.

Fan Ronghua frowned and asked in doubt, "How can you explain what you said, sir?"

Mr. Gongsun twitched his beard and said, "My lord, if you were Guo Huai and you were convinced of the identity of the Queen Mother, how should you deal with it?"

"This..." Fan Ronghua frowned slightly, paused, raised his eyes and said, "It must be killing people to silence them, so as to avoid future troubles."

Mr. Gongsun nodded slightly and said: "But Guo Huai didn't kill people on the road, which just shows that Guo Huai is not sure about the identity of the Queen Mother, so he came up with this strategy of 'recognition'." Speaking of this, Mr. Gongsun smiled again, "I think it will take half a month on this journey, but Guo Huai can't even confirm the identity of the queen mother, so he has to work for him to come and visit in person. Think of all the eyes and ears of Guo Huai's subordinates, inquire Kung Fu is only mediocre."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone couldn't help being amused, Lord Bao and Empress Li's expressions softened, and Jin Qian almost burst out laughing, thinking: So this old locust tree is putting on such a big show today, and its feelings are just a bluff .

Tsk tsk, what a pity, what a pity, but this Gongsun Zhuzi explained it right away.

Mr. Bao nodded and said: "After listening to Mr. Gongsun's words, I suddenly became enlightened. Then I don't know what to do at this time according to Mr. Gongsun's opinion?"

When Mr. Gongsun heard the words, his face straightened, and he clasped his fists and said solemnly: "My lord, according to what the students have seen, this case must collect all the witnesses early, the trial will be completed early, and changes will happen later!"

Mr. Bao nodded and said: "This government also considers it in the same way. This case should be done quickly rather than slowly, and it should be urgent rather than delayed."

"What do you mean by that?" Queen Li asked.

Lord Bao bowed and replied: "I want to report to the Queen Mother, if the Queen Mother wants to avenge her grievances, one needs physical evidence, and the other needs personal evidence. Although the physical evidence Jinwan has been prepared, we have not yet seen the personal evidence of Chen Lin and the Eight Kings. Let Guo Huai and Empress Liu take the first step, I am afraid that these two people will not be guaranteed."

Empress Li was startled, and shouted: "Bao Qing is saying that Guo Huai and Empress Li will harm these two people?"

Lord Bao lowered his head and said: "I dare not speak nonsense. It's just that Guo Huai and Liu Hou have power over the government and the public, have many eyes and ears, and their power is intertwined. You can't underestimate it. We have to guard against it." After a pause, he said again , "The most urgent thing at the moment is to see Eunuch Chen Lin and the Eighth King Qiansui, and when all the evidence is complete, report it to the Holy One immediately, and ask the Holy One to be the master."

Mr. Gongsun clasped his fists and said, "What your lord said is true!"

Master Bao nodded and raised his voice: "Chao Chao, Ma Han, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu!"

"The subordinate is here!" The four entered the door at the same time and clasped their fists together.

"Immediately prepare the sedan chair, the government will immediately enter the palace to meet Chen Lin and Eunuch Chen."

"Subordinates obey!"

After finishing the order, Lord Bao saluted Empress Li again: "The Empress Dowager has worked hard all the way, please move to the wing to rest."

Empress Li nodded: "I'll take care of Aiqing."

Mr. Gongsun stared fixedly at the two, but suddenly his expression changed, and he shouted, "Wait a minute!"

Master Bao was puzzled and asked, "Mr. Gongsun?"

I saw Mr. Gongsun's phoenix eyes fixed on Empress Li, then turned to Mr. Bao, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, if Guo Huai can't make it clear today, he will definitely try another plan. I'm afraid this plan will be a dirty trick. .”

When Master Bao heard the words, his brows tightened immediately.

Fan Ronghua couldn't help being startled, and his face changed slightly: "Mr. Gongsun's words, don't you mean that your mother's life is in danger?"

Mr. Gongsun pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "That's not necessarily the case. The Empress Dowager is now the aunt of Master Bao, and has nothing to do with Guo Huai, Empress Liu, or the Holy Majesty. She has no name and no role. Why should Guo Huai be afraid of it? Student Worrying about the safety of another thing.”

Empress Li's complexion changed, and said: "Mr. Gongsun is talking about Jin Wan?"

Mr. Gongsun nodded and said: "The golden pill is the key! If the golden pill is there, it can prove the identity of the queen mother. If there is no golden pill, the queen mother's identity cannot be proved. At that time, even Chen Lin and the eight kings will be with the queen mother." I admit it, but there is nothing to back it up, I am afraid it will be difficult to block the mouths of the world, and it may be hopeless for the Empress Dowager to rectify her name."

Zhan Zhao frowned and said, "You mean, sir, Guo Huai will send someone to steal the golden pill?"

Mr. Gongsun nodded first, then shook his head slowly.

When everyone saw it, they were all puzzled.

Fan Ronghua asked, "Mr. Gongsun, why are you doing this?"

Mr. Prosecutor frowned and said: "Empress Liu also has golden pills, so I know that the golden pills held by Empress Li are of great significance, so the students expected that Guo Huai would send someone to steal the golden pills; The Zhijin Pill is already in our hands? So what the students have guessed is just an inference, which may be biased."

Lord Bao frowned for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Even so, what Mr. Gongsun thinks is not unreasonable. This golden pill——it should be placed properly."

Hearing this, Empress Li felt that the matter was of great importance, so she hurriedly took out the brocade bag containing the golden pills from her bosom and said, "Then according to what Mr. Gongsun saw, where should the golden pills be placed?"

When everyone heard this, they were immediately troubled.

If you know that the entire Kaifeng mansion is famous for being thrifty and clean-spirited, the only things that are worth anything are the Shangfang sword and the three-mouthed scorpion.It’s just that these four things, although famous, cannot be bought or sold—to put it bluntly, even if someone dares to sell them, no one dares to buy them.

So this huge Kaifeng mansion doesn't even have a warehouse for finances, let alone a secret room for hiding treasures.

Now that a golden pill popped out of nowhere, where should it be placed?

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and finally they looked at Mr. Gongsun.

Mr. Gongsun deserves to be the chief think tank of the Kaifeng Mansion. As soon as he rolled his eyes, he came up with an idea: "Let someone carry it close to your body, and then get someone to protect it close to your body. Naturally, it will be safe."

The idea is good, but who should carry this extremely dangerous golden pill?

Everyone turned their eyes to Empress Li, but at the same time shook their heads secretly.

Please, this one is the target of public criticism. If the golden pill is placed on her, isn't this beating gongs and drums to attract people to snatch it?

Everyone's eyes shifted to Mr. Bao——

Going to the court every day, leaving the court, traveling, searching for evidence, and meeting with Eunuch Chen Lin and the Eighth King Chisui in the past few days, so busy, what if one accidentally loses the golden pill?

His eyes shifted to Mr. Gongsun——

Being resourceful and thoughtful is the best choice, but—these days are an extraordinary period, and Mr. Gongsun is afraid that he will have to accompany Mr. Bao personally, and the appearance rate is too high, so it is not safe.

So everyone's eyes moved to the fourth-rank imperial guard with a sword——

Martial arts are high and strong, no one can match them, and they are also the best choice.But...if assassins and thieves really came, should Zhanwei protect Jinwan or the Queen Mother first?Besides, a sword has no eyes, if Zhan's guard accidentally cut his clothes and the golden pill fell out, wouldn't the assassin take advantage of it?

Everyone sighed secretly, and turned their eyes to Jin Qian——

More eyes, faster legs...

But I'm afraid that there are too many minds and too fast legs. If this golden pill is in this person's hands, I'm afraid it will be exchanged for silver before it's warmed up...

Therefore, when everyone looked at Fan Ronghua, they all contained the same message: brother, it's you!Just admit it.

"Let's trouble the little prince." Mr. Gongsun made a final decision.

Fan Ronghua didn't dare to shirk, took the brocade bag respectfully, put it in his arms carefully, and said seriously: "Ronghua will definitely give up his life to protect Jin Wan."

With awe-inspiring eyes and a straight waist, the young man did show some heroic qualities at this time.

Everyone was refreshed.

Master Bao gave an order: "Guard Zhan and Detective Jin listen to the order quickly. The government orders you two to protect the little prince personally. If the little prince makes a mistake, I will ask for you two!"

"Your subordinates obey!" Zhan Zhao clasped his fists and said loudly.

"...Your subordinate obeys orders!" Jin Qian secretly replied with a mournful face.

Personal protection?

In other words, to be a 24-hour personal bodyguard...

Protecting a very noisy "grandmother" with a cat who has been having a strange temper lately? !

Don't say 24 hours, I'm afraid we will die in less than two hours...

Old Bao, old Bao, don't you think our smoke bomb effect is too "amazing", so take the opportunity to get revenge...

A little side story:

In brackets is the true meaning of the dialogue between Lao Bao and Gongsun Zhuzi, which is genuine and not false——

"Mr. Gongsun, tomorrow I would like to ask you to prepare a few face-covering cloths for the residence in case of emergencies."

(Mr. Gongsun, you are smart enough to take off your belt to make a face scarf, but this is an official belt, how can you just take it off?!)

"What the adults said is true, and the students also feel that it is necessary."

(Students are worried, go back and prepare for adults immediately.)

"...Well, let's prepare a few for Dynasty and the others."

(Dynasty and the others are also quite miserable, don't forget to prepare a few for them.)

"Students understand. What about the guards?"

(Dynasty and they all have it, so don't they prepare for Zhanwei?)

"Exhibition Guard..."

(This Zhan guard is too outrageous. He ran away in a flash, regardless of the lives of all of us. At the very least, he should take the mansion out of the dangerous area together! The mansion is very angry, and the consequences are very serious!
