Go to Kaifeng to be a civil servant
Chapter 81
The wind swept away the dust, the clouds pressed down on the city, and outside the Bianliang city gate, there was a murderous atmosphere.
Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang, and Jin Qian stood in front of the door in a daze, staring straight at the very familiar black-faced blue sky in front of them, inexplicably shocked.
What did Lao Bao say just now?
Said to tie up the cat with us and escort it to the prison of Kaifeng Mansion? !
Jin Qian only felt a buzzing in his head, his eyes turned white, he was stunned for a long time before he recovered, and turned his gaze to Zhan Zhao's face to the side.
Zhan Zhao's eyes were wide open, his handsome face was tense, and his face was expressionless with shock.
It was Bai Yutang who came to his senses first, stepped forward and clasped his fists, "Master Bao..."
"This government ordered you to tie Zhan Zhao and Jin Qian back to the prison in Kaifeng Mansion! Didn't you hear it?!" Master Bao's face darkened, and he sternly shouted at the yamen servants behind him.
A group of yamen servants gritted their teeth with tears in their faces, stepped forward with ropes in their hands, and tied Zhan Zhao and Jin Qian tremblingly.
Zhan Zhao remained motionless, letting him bind him with a blank expression, while Jin Qian was nothing but dumbfounded.
"Take the two of you back to the prison in Kaifeng Mansion!" Lord Bao shouted again.
All the yamen servants hung their heads, walked to the side of the two, and were about to detain them, but someone beside them suddenly said: "Lord Bao, wait a minute."
But seeing Taishi Pang raised his broom eyebrows, with a face full of fun after watching a good show, he stepped forward and said: "These two are important criminals who disobeyed the imperial edict. They should be sent to the sky prison. Why should they be sent to the prison of Kaifeng Mansion?"
Defy the imperial decree? !
Jin Qian woke up with a jolt.
imperial decree?Could it be the imperial decree to find the Azure Dragon Ball within seven days?Didn't Huang Gan bring the antidote back...
When he was separated from the Immortal Medicine Poison Sage, the Poison Sage's hesitant expression suddenly appeared, and the ominous premonition welled up in his heart.
Alas, our God Jesus!Could it be that Master Master and Second Master did something wrong with the Queen Mother's antidote? !
Thinking of this, Jin Qian couldn't help but glance at Zhan Zhao again.
Just happened to meet Shang Zhanzhao's and Bai Yutang's eyes of the same astonishment.
Tsk, it seems that this cat and mouse thought of it with us.
Master Bao said over there: "Grand Master Pang, it's not clear whether Zhan Zhao and Jin Qian are against the edict, how can they be sent to the prison?"
"My lord Bao, the emperor has ordered these two people to be captured and brought to justice. Are you going to resist the order?" Grand Master Pang sneered, swung his long sleeves, and raised his voice, "Come here, take this important criminal into the sky prison Wait and let it go!"
A silence.
None of the imperial guards behind Grand Master Pang moved.
"Aren't they both deaf?! My grand master ordered you to take these two people into the sky jail!!" Grand master Pang stared at him and shouted again.
"Grand Master Pang, His Majesty ordered these two people to be captured and brought to justice, and he did not order them to be taken to prison." One person stepped forward and said respectfully, it was Yuan Tingli, the commander of the Imperial Army.
"Yuan Tingli, what do you mean?!" Grand Master Pang was so angry that the bags under his eyes trembled.
Commander Yuan took a step back, folded his fists and bowed, and raised his voice, "I respect the order of the Holy Master to capture Zhan Zhao and Jin Qian and bring them to justice! Come, escort these two people to Kaifeng Mansion to wait for their punishment!"
Commander Yuan issued an order, and immediately a dozen guards of the forbidden army surrounded Zhan Zhao, Jin Qian, and Bai Yutang, and walked towards the Kaifeng mansion in a mighty manner. Commander Yuan also walked to Zhan Zhao's side, and compared It's more like a personal bodyguard.
Not to mention Taishi Pang, who was blowing his beard and staring with anger, even Mr. Bao was a little surprised by this turn of events.
"Bao Zheng, Yuan Tingli, this Grand Master will enter the palace right now, and punish you for resisting the order!" Grand Master Pang roared behind everyone.
"Don't bother the grand master, Bao Zheng will enter the palace to perform before the emperor!" Master Bao was not to be outdone.
"Okay, okay you bastard!"
"Master Pang, please!"
Not long after, I saw the official sedan chairs of Taishi Pang and Mr. Bao rushing past the escort team, the two teams of sedan bearers did not touch the ground, they walked like flying, desperately rushing forward.
Zhan Zhao frowned, stared fixedly at the two official sedan chairs away from Juechen for a long while, turned his head and directed the staff beside him, "Master Yuan, you..."
"Master Zhan, you don't need to say too much, Yuan has his own opinion." Commander Yuan said with a blank expression, looking ahead.
"...Thank you..." After a long time, Zhan Zhao said.
"Being able to protect Master Zhan for a while, Yuan can be regarded as an account to the brothers of the Forbidden Army..." Commander Yuan sighed.
Jin Qian glanced at the two of them, and heaved a sigh of relief in secret: Oh, my dear, thanks to the help of Comrade Yuan, a loyal fan of the cat, otherwise he would be thrown into the sky prison by that old crab, and his skin would be peeled off if he didn't die.
-
The prison in Kaifeng Mansion is a place of great importance for officials. On weekdays, except for the jailers who interrogate the prisoners, few people come in and out.
But today, this big prison is really lively.
The Kaifeng mansion arrests the yamen servants, the guards of the forbidden palace, the prison guards... There are nearly a hundred people guarding outside a cell, squeezing the small cell to the ground.
But in the heavily guarded cell, only two people were detained.
Since one of them entered the cell, he was running around like ants on a frying pan, and he couldn't stop muttering as he walked around: "Fifty percent, no, seventy percent... no, eighty percent... ninety percent is the solution." The medicine has moved hands and feet..."
The sound was like a swarm of bees, buzzing on the left and buzzing on the right, it was really noisy, causing the guards, guards and jailers to look sideways and frown secretly, but another person in the cell could make such a loud background noise Sitting down, you can still close your eyes and rest your mind, and the sitting is as stable as Mount Tai.
Obviously they are two people whose behaviors are completely different, but they are in the same room at this time, but there is a sense of echoing in movement and silence, which cannot but be called strange.
When Mr. Gongsun rushed to the prison, he saw such a scene.
"Mr. Gongsun, has the Queen Mother's poison been cured?" Jin Qian's eyes lit up when he saw Mr. Gongsun, and he rushed forward and shouted.
Zhan Zhao also got up immediately, walked quickly to Jin Qian's side and looked at Mr. Gongsun.
Mr. Gongsun glanced at the two of them, sighed and said: "At midnight the day before yesterday, Huang Gan brought the antidote into the palace to detoxify the Queen Mother. The medicine has cured the poison. Now the Queen Mother has a stable pulse and a rosy complexion. She must wake up in a few days."
Zhan and Jin breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"The queen mother's poison has been cured, then there is no problem..." Jin Qian patted his chest.
Mr. Gongsun was startled when he heard the words, he frowned and said, "What does the Empress Dowager's detoxification have to do with Zhan Huwei and Jin Xiaowei?"
Zhan Zhao and Jin Qian were surprised at the same time.
"What's the relationship?" Jin Qian stared at the two eyeballs, and raised his voice an octave, "It has a lot to do with it! The antidote was given by Mr. Zhan to Mr. Huang to bring back to Bianjing to detoxify the Queen Mother!"
"Is this true?!" Mr. Gongsun exclaimed in shock.
"Of course it is true!" Jin Qian nodded in affirmation.
Mr. Gongsun turned his gaze to Zhan Zhao again: "Guard Zhan, can you tell me the ins and outs of this antidote."
Zhan Zhao nodded, and then told how he met Yizhimei, went to Yulin Village, how he met the two doctors, immortals and poison saints, how he refined the antidote, and how he gave the antidote to Huang Gan to bring back to help the villagers detoxify. Waiting for the matter to be briefly described, but the two paragraphs of "serial beauty trick" and black-clothed killer were omitted.
After hearing this, Mr. Gongsun, his fair complexion turned green and black, his phoenix eyes showed a fierce look, and he suddenly raised his voice: "Huang Gan, this birdman!"
Zhan Zhao and Jin Qian were on the spot in shock.
You must know that Mr. Gongsun is a famous Confucian, who has always been refined and gentle, and treats people and things with etiquette as the first priority. At this time, he is swearing at him regardless of his image. It is really a rare thing in a century.
"Gong, Mr. Gongsun..." Jin Qian called out tentatively with his voice trembling.
Mr. Gongsun raised his head abruptly, and said: "Wait, do you know what Huang Qian said?" Before the two of them could reply, he said angrily, "Huang Gan said that the antidote was that he searched all over famous people and hermits alone. Obtaining it for the Empress Dowager, not only did not mention half a sentence of credit for you two, but even..."
"Even what?!" Jin Qian had already heard the signs at this time, and his thin eyes were glowing red.
"Huang Qian also said that on the way back to Beijing, he met Zhan Wei, who was unsuccessful in searching for Qinglongzhu, and gangsters such as Yizhimei, who joined forces to attack him, intending to steal the antidote and return to the palace to invite rewards. Send the antidote back in time to detoxify the Queen Mother!"
After saying some words, both Zhan Zhao and Jin Qian were stunned in place, silent for a while.
Suddenly, Jin Qian took a step back, kicked hard on the prison fence, and cursed: "Huang Gan, a birdman who kills a thousand swords!! Let's greet his eighteen generations of ancestors!"
Zhan Zhao's complexion was like a dark cloud covering the sun, his handsome face was silent and frightening.
"Huang Gan is now the empress dowager's life-saving hero, the emperor obeys him, and the grand master Pang is on the sidelines to fuel the jealousy, the holy majesty immediately ordered Zhan Huwei and Jin Xiaowei to be arrested and brought to justice. If Master Bao did not use his life as a guarantee to try his best to deal with it, I'm afraid that at this time, the lives of the two of you are already in danger," Mr. Gongsun continued.
"Mr. Gongsun, Zhan Zhao is willing to confront Huang Qian face to face!" Zhan Zhao took a step forward, his starry eyes glaring brightly.
"Yes, let that surnamed Huang confront us face to face!" Jin Qian also rushed over and said angrily, "There are villagers from Yulin Village who can testify for us, as well as the medical fairy, poison sage, Yizhi Mei and Bai Yutang are both witnesses!"
Mr. Gongsun nodded, "Master Bao has already expected what you two said, so after you two entered the city safely, he entered the palace to speak for you two, and asked the Holy Spirit to order a public trial of the case. Now someone has proved that it is true. Even better, it's just..." Mr. Gongsun frowned, "You two, do you know where the two seniors, the Immortal Doctor, the Sage of Poison, and Yizhimei are now?"
"This..." Jin Qian was speechless:
The master and the second master have always seen the beginning and the end of the dragon, but that Yizhimei has been tossed so much this time, and at this time, he may have found a clean place to hide. These three people have always been good at hiding. I'm afraid I won't be able to find it for a while.
And the villagers of Yulin Village...
"Yulin Village is far away from Kaifeng, and it will take a whole day and night to get there at a fast pace. If the villagers who have just recovered from serious illness are called to testify now... I am afraid it will be too late..." Mr. Gongsun shook his head slightly.
Jin Qian's face turned pale immediately, very annoyed, and secretly said:
It is really inconvenient in ancient times when the technology was underdeveloped. If it is placed in modern times, telephone, radio, television, telegraph, and computer can be picked at random!
"The only solution for now..." Mr. Gongsun frowned, twisted his beard and thought for a moment, then suddenly turned and walked out, "I will send a letter to the local county magistrate, asking him to record the testimony of the villagers in Yulin Village as a confession, and then Send it back with a flying pigeon!" After walking a few steps, he paused again, turned around and said, "Don't worry about Zhan Weiwei and Jin Xiaowei."
After finishing speaking, he left in a hurry, Liu Zhanzhao and Jin Qian stood in the cell.
After a long time, Jin Qian suddenly turned around, looked directly at Zhan Zhao, and said with burning eyes: "Master Zhan, I have something to say to my subordinates, I hope Master Zhan will agree."
Zhan Zhao's heart skipped a beat, he suddenly raised his eyes to look at Jin Qian, opened and closed his lips several times, and then slowly said in a deep voice: "This time, it's all because Zhan Zhao insisted on going his own way, didn't listen to Captain Jin's persuasion, trusted treacherous people, and certain……"
"Master Zhan, what are you talking about?" Jin Qian blinked his eyelids with a puzzled expression.
Zhan Zhao was stunned: "Isn't Captain Jin going to say these things?"
Jin Qian hurriedly waved his hands and shook his head: "In order to save the villagers of Yulin Village, Mr. Zhan did not hesitate to transfer the credit to others. This is an act of self-sacrifice, self-sacrifice, integrity, selflessness, and earth-shattering action. I admire it very much!" Speaking of this, he still didn't forget to turn around Putting on a worship pose, he continued, "My subordinates' admiration for Mr. Zhan is like a continuous river, like a majestic mountain and a mountain in the South, like a sea of clouds, like a boundless universe... and like, It's like...that...ahem..."
Speaking of this, even Jin Qian, who is known as the No. 1 mouth in Bianjing, couldn't make it up anymore, so he could only suffocate a dry cough.
Cough cough, on weekdays, as long as we talk about the part of "the surging river", we will definitely be cut off by this cat who doesn't like to listen to flattery, why today we all talk about dry mouth, tongue and teeth, and there is no word. Why doesn't the cat squeak? !
Jin Qian tilted his head slightly, and glanced at Zhan Zhao.
I saw that Zhan Zhaoding was staring at himself, his starry eyes seemed to contain long spring water, trickling clear springs, and waves of light and ripples enveloped him.
Jin Qian only felt that his heartbeat suddenly stopped for half a beat, and then started beating wildly again, like the beating of a war drum. Silently vest the Heart Sutra.
Prajnaparamita, Prajnaparamita... No, no, form is emptiness, emptiness is form... Form is not... Form is nothing... Ouch, what's wrong with this cat today, cat's eyes The lethality is so amazing? !
"Lieutenant Jin just said that he has something to say, what is it?" Zhan Zhao's voice came from behind.
All the discomfort dissipated in an instant, and a burst of anger filled his chest, which made Jin Qian's aura suddenly increased. He put his hands on his hips, took a sharp breath, and scolded sharply: "You weasel who is full of farts, you will have a son who will have no ass holes in the future— —”
The mournful tone instantly spread to every corner of the prison, shaking the guards outside and the prisoners in the prison into chaos.
But Zhan Zhao behind Jin Qian had a faint smile on his handsome face, so faint that even Zhan Zhao himself didn't notice it, but it was blown away by the cold wind in the cell and disappeared without a trace...
-
In the early morning of the second day, Zhan Jin and his two were led by the prison chief Meng Le to wait outside the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion to be summoned by Mr. Bao.
But as soon as the two of them came outside the lobby, they felt something was wrong.
In the front yard of the lobby, there are many guards of the imperial guards, eunuchs and maids of the dragon crown, and everything is golden everywhere.
This kind of formation only shows one thing - Sheng Jia is here in person!
On the side, Meng Laotou whispered to Zhan Zhao and Jin Qian: "I heard that Mr. Bao knelt outside the emperor's bedroom for a whole night before asking the emperor to order you to be promoted to the court for public trial. After the meeting, you two have What grievances can be clearly stated."
"Of course, of course!" Jin Qian nodded frequently, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and took a peek at Zhan Zhao who was beside him. He saw that Zhan Zhao's waist was straight and his expression was as usual. shape.
Tsk, this cat really has seen big scenes, and his mental quality is indeed not at the same level as ours.
"Lieutenant Jin, after going to class, everything is subject to what Zhan said, so don't talk too much!" Suddenly, Zhan Zhao turned his eyes, stared at Jin Qian and said solemnly.
"Eh?" Jin Qian was stunned for a moment, then immediately nodded and said, "That's natural, that's natural! Everything under my subordinates is guided by Mr. Zhan, and I will never say a word!"
Zhan Zhao nodded.
"Ascension!"
"mighty--"
"Chuan Zhanzhao and Jin Qian went to the church—"
Zhan Zhao walked first, followed by Jin Qian into the lobby. As he walked, he carefully observed the atmosphere in the hall, and secretly figured out: in the middle of the hall, there is a black-faced Mr. Bao, and behind the writing desk, there is a white-faced Gongsun bamboo. The four King Kong standing at four corners is a common lineup, but there are two more high-end observers behind Mr. Bao's right.
The one on the right, wearing a dragon robe with a jade belt, and clear eyes, is the supreme leader of the current dynasty, Comrade Renzong, the emperor; The father-in-law is Grand Master Pang.
The problem is that Brother Renzong's complexion is quite unfriendly, but the old crab's face is determined to win, Master Bao's complexion is abnormally pale, and Mr. Gongsun's complexion is abnormally dark—unlucky, very unlucky!
The two came to the center of the hall, raised their robes and knelt down and said:
"Long live, long live Zhan Zhao to see the emperor! See Grand Master, Lord Bao." "Long live, long live Jinqian to see the emperor! See Grand Master, Lord Bao."
"Crack!" The gavel slammed on the table, and the sound resounded inside and outside the hall.
"Zhan Zhao, Jin Qian, can you two be convicted?!" Lord Bao shouted.
Jin Qian couldn't help trembling, for some reason, he suddenly remembered the unlucky scene when he and Qin Xianglian had their first intercourse.
"Zhan Zhao doesn't know what crime he committed! Please make it clear, sir!" Zhan Zhao straightened up on his knees and said loudly.
"If the two of you fail to find the Azure Dragon Ball within seven days to cure the Queen Mother of poison, you are committing a serious crime of disobedience!" Master Bao said sharply.
"Returning to my lord, although Zhan Zhao failed to find the Azure Dragon Ball within seven days, he managed to find two senior masters, the Immortal Doctor and the Saint of Poison, who are well-known in the world, to prepare the antidote for the Queen Mother, and asked the Deputy Commander of the Forbidden Army to envoy Lord Huang Gan was brought back to the palace the day before yesterday, exactly within seven days." Zhan Zhao raised his staring eyes and said seriously.
"Hmph, it's a bunch of nonsense!" Grand Master Pang sneered, "The antidote was clearly found by Huang Qian to detoxify the Queen Mother through untold hardships, so what has it to do with you two? You are obviously talking nonsense!"
Master Bao frowned: "Grand Master Pang, during this period, Bao Zheng will ask to clarify the right and wrong. Please stay calm and don't be impatient."
Grand Master Pang sneered, but really stopped talking.
The emperor's face was even more serious.
"Come here, invite Commander Huang to come to the court!" Master Bao raised his voice.
"Commander Huang please come to the court—"
Not long after, I saw a person rushing into the hall, with a bandage wrapped around his forehead, blood stains were hidden, he knelt down and said: "The deputy commander of the imperial army Huang Gan kowtowed to the emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
"Huang Aiqing doesn't need to be too polite, let's be flat." Emperor Renzong nodded and said softly.
Jin Qian's heart suddenly turned cold, and he thought to himself: It's not good, it's not good, it seems that this weasel has a very high status in front of the emperor now!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Huang Qian stood up, clasped his fists at Grand Master Pang and Master Bao, "Huang Gan has met Grand Master and Master Bao."
"Hehe, Master Huang doesn't need to be too polite." Grand Master Pang said happily.
Lord Bao nodded slightly, and asked: "Commander Huang, just now Zhan Zhao said that the antidote for the Queen Mother was that he found two senior experts to make it better, and asked you to take it back to the Forbidden Palace to detoxify the Queen Mother, do you have any objections?" ?”
"Master Huibao, the antidote was made by Huang Gan, a hermit expert. On the way to find the antidote, Huang Qian had never seen Zhan's guards!" On the way back to Beijing, he met Zhan Weiwei, who failed to find the green dragon ball, and Naqin's wanted criminal, Yi Zhimei, and others, who wanted to snatch the antidote and return to Beijing to claim credit. My lord is aware!"
The hall was silent.
Zhan Zhao's fists crackled and were almost crushed.
Jin Qian was so angry that his eyelids twitched wildly.
Grandma's, if it wasn't for being in the lobby at this time, and if the old emperor wasn't there, we would have scolded him bloody, poohed him with a bad reputation, kicked him so hard he couldn't take care of himself!
Master Bao's face was gloomy, his sharp eyes half-closed, and he continued to ask after a while: "Dare to ask Commander Huang, is there evidence for what you said?"
Huang Gan looked innocent: "Huang Gan brought the antidote back, and detoxified the empress dowager for her wounds. Now that the empress dowager's poison has been cured, she will wake up in a few days. This is the great evidence. Why did Mr. Bao ask Huang?" Why do you want evidence?" After a pause, he looked down at Zhan Zhao again, and suddenly realized, "Ah, Huang Gan actually forgot that Guard Zhan is Master Bao's right-hand man. His life is in danger, no wonder Mr. Bao is trying to get rid of his guilt. But..." Huang Gan clasped his fists again, with a righteous face, "Now that the emperor and the grand master are here, Huang Gan would not dare It's useless to bully you, you can only tell the truth, and I hope Master Bao will forgive you!"
After saying a few words, the entire Kaifeng Mansion was filled with anger, staring at Huang Qian like a sword like a knife, wishing to pierce him through.
There was a crack on the floor tiles under Zhan Zhao's knees, and the cold air overflowed his whole body.
Jin Qian's gum tissue began to twist.
What are the top ten tortures in ancient times?Skinned, cut into half, divided into five horses, buried alive in Ling Chi... We have to try everything on this weasel!
Grand Master Pang sighed, and said regretfully: "I have heard that Mr. Bao is fair and strict in handling cases, and never favoritism. Looking at it now, it is only mediocre."
The emperor's face darkened again.
Master Bao's face froze, and he slapped the gavel: "Commander Huang, don't talk about other things and disturb the court!"
"Master Bao's lesson is that Huang Qian was rude." Huang Gan cupped his fists respectfully.
"Bao Qing, what Huang Qian said is not unreasonable. Zhan Zhao is Bao Qing's subordinate, so it is really inappropriate for Bao Qing to interrogate him. Why don't we transfer the case to Dali Temple..." the emperor said with a frown.
"Your Majesty!" Lord Bao got up abruptly, turned around and lifted his robe and knelt down, "Since Bao Zheng became an official, there has been absolutely no favoritism in adjudicating cases. Bao Zheng will handle this case impartially!"
"This..." The emperor glanced at Grand Master Pang.
Grand Master Pang raised his eyebrows: "Your Majesty, since Master Bao has made such a promise, why don't we see how Master Bao handles it impartially, without favoritism!"
The emperor nodded: "Alright, Bao Qing will continue the trial."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lord Bao turned around and sat down, his eyes swept over the three people in the hall, "Zhan Zhao, do you have evidence for what you just said?"
The hall was silent.
Zhan Zhao straightened his body and knelt down, lowered his head and lowered his eyes, without making a sound.
"Zhan Zhao! Can you hear what the government is asking you?" Master Bao raised his voice a little more.
"Master Zhan..." Jin Qian hastily tugged at the corner of Zhan Zhao's sleeve.
Zhan Zhao's Adam's apple moved, and he slowly raised his head.
"My lord, Zhan Zhao has witnesses."
"Where are the witnesses?"
"Two pharmaceutical seniors, a villager in Yulin Village, and Bai Yutang on the empty island can all testify!"
"Come here, pass on Bai Yutang to the hall!"
"Bai Yutang -"
Before he finished speaking, he saw a person rushing towards him with the wind. He was dressed in white over snow, handsome and indifferent, kneeling on one knee with his robe lifted: "Cao Min Bai Yutang kowtowed to see the emperor, long live, met Mr. Bao, and met the Grand Master!"
The last four words "meet the grand master" were almost squeezed out between the teeth.
"You are Bai Yutang?" Before Lord Bao could speak, the emperor spoke first, looked at Bai Yutang, and nodded slightly, "You really have the demeanor of a knight!"
"Your Majesty, this person was born as a grassroots bandit. He behaves perversely and strikes fiercely. He is definitely not a kind person." Grand Master Pang said with an angry look on his face, gnashing his teeth.
Jin Qian's eyelids twitched: Tsk, this old crab probably thinks of the unrecognizable Grand Master's Mansion that was tossed by those four mice.
But it seems that the emperor has a good impression of Bai Mouse, Bai Wuye, quickly throw two peachy eyes and stun Comrade Tianzi, maybe Comrade Tianzi will stand on our side as soon as he faints.
Thinking of this, Jin Qian hurriedly gave Bai Yutang a wink.
Seeing this, he was taken aback.
Bai Yutang glanced at him fixedly, his peach eyes dimmed, and then he glanced at Zhan Zhao, his handsome face froze instantly, and the surrounding temperature dropped sharply.
Whoops, this white mouse has been with cats for a long time, why not learn it, but learn the trick of "playing murderous"?
Jin Qian rubbed the goose bumps on his arms.
"Your Majesty, although Bai Yutang is from the Jianghu, he also knows what faith is. He is no better than some people. As an official of the imperial court, he is ungrateful and shameless!" Bai Yutang said coldly.
The emperor's face suddenly turned ugly.
"Presumptuous!" Grand Master Pang slapped the armrest, jumped up and shouted, "Bai Yutang, you dare to slander the court officials in front of the emperor, you are simply presumptuous, presumptuous!"
"Bai Yutang, don't be rude!" Master Bao slapped the gavel and shouted.
"Master Bao!" Bai Yutang cupped his fists and said loudly, "Bai Yutang is just telling the truth!"
"How do you say that?" Master Bao said in a slow voice.
Bai Yutang's peach blossom eyes widened, and he said sharply, "The antidote was made by Zhan Huwei, Jin Xiaowei, Qiu Yixian, and Poison Sage. Zhan Huwei just asked Huang Gan to bring the antidote back first, so as not to delay the empress dowager. For detoxification, when Huang Qian was about to leave, he swore that he would definitely report the merits of Zhan Huwei and Jin Xiaowei to the emperor, why now it is inexplicably turned into the merits of him alone, isn’t this an ungrateful and shameless person?!”
After saying a few words, the faces of Huang Qian and Grand Master Pang turned dark, and the emperor was thoughtful.
Jin Qian looked sideways, looking at Bai Yutang with a little more admiration:
Unexpectedly, this white mouse is so eloquent!
"According to what you said, since the two of them found the antidote prepared by an expert, why didn't they personally escort it, but asked Commander Huang to bring it back to the palace?" Master Bao asked.
"Your Excellency, you know that if the antidote is to be effective, someone with profound inner strength must activate the antidote's properties, otherwise the antidote will be like a waste product." Bai Yutang asked.
Master Bao nodded, and glanced at the emperor: "The same is true when Commander Huang detoxifies the Queen Mother."
The emperor nodded slightly.
Bai Yutang's expression darkened, and he said: "But does your lord know that more than 30 villagers in Yulin Village are all suffering from a strange poison, the poison is the same as the Queen Mother's poison, and they are all in danger."
"What?!" The emperor was shocked.
Bai Yutang clasped his fists together: "Lord Bao, the second day after the antidote is made is when the villagers are poisoned, and detoxification is a very exhausting matter of internal energy. You have to save the names of all the villagers, and you can't delay the Queen Mother's detoxification." Zhan Huwei asked Huang Gan to bring back the antidote first, but he stayed in Yulin Village to help the villagers detoxify."
Speaking of this, Bai Yutang glanced at Zhan Zhao, with a serious expression on his face, "May I ask Mr. Bao, who in the world does not know that saving the Queen Mother's life is an incomparable contribution, and who would not spend all their time trying to grab such a contribution, but why? In order to save the lives of the people, someone handed over such a great contribution to others, but now this man who is the king of the people is framed and imprisoned, it is really chilling!"
Lang Lang's voice, but now it has a bit of desolation, which makes everyone's heart twitch.
White Mouse, well said!Jin Qian clenched his fist secretly.
Looking at the people in the hall, Master Bao had a look of praise, everyone in the Kaifeng Mansion admired him, and the emperor's expression softened obviously when he looked at Zhan Zhao.
but……
That grand master Pang didn't take it seriously, he was still complacent.
But Huang Gan sneered, clasped his fists and said: "Qi Your Majesty, this person and that Zhan Zhao have always had a very close friendship, everything he said was to exonerate Zhan Zhao, it is absolutely unbelievable!"
"Huang Gan! Don't bully me too much!" Bai Yutang shouted sharply.
"Why, let Huang's words hit the mark, and become angry?" Huang Qian tilted his head and raised his eyebrows.
"you!"
Snapped!
The gavel sounded suddenly.
"Above the court, don't argue in private!" Master Bao yelled, paused, and said, "Bai Yutang, is there anyone else to prove what you just said?"
"The two seniors, the Immortal Doctor and the Saint of Poison, can all testify." Bai Yutang clasped his fists and said.
"Where are the two of them now?"
"This..." Bai Yutang frowned, "After the two seniors prepared the antidote, they disappeared..."
"That means there is no one to testify!" Grand Master Pang said leisurely, knocking on the armrest of the wooden chair, "Speaking of which, it is not certain whether there are such two seniors in the world!"
"And Yulin Village..." Bai Yutang said again.
But just halfway through his sentence, Huang Gan interrupted him.
I saw Huang Gan clasped his fists with both hands, with a grievance on his face:
"Your Majesty, since this person said with certainty that Zhan Zhao did not deliver the antidote himself because he was trying to save a village in Yulin Village, why not ask the Emperor to send someone to Yulin Village to find out! You can also clear the subordinate's name!"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone's expressions changed.
Master Bao stared wide-eyed, Mr. Gongsun was stunned when he picked up his pen, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked straight at Huang Gan with astonishment on their faces.
Jin Qian's face was even paler.
This weasel actually proposed to let the villagers of Yulin Village come to testify? !why?As soon as the villagers of Yulin Village came, Huang Gan's set of lies would definitely be exposed. Why did this weasel ram himself into the muzzle of the gun? !Unless... broken, broken!He must have known that the villagers of Yulin Village would not be able to come, so he dared...Could it be, could it be that the villagers of that village have been silenced...
Thinking of this, Jin Qian's hairs stood on end, he didn't dare to think about it any more.
"Commander Huang is right, Bao Qing, let's send someone to Yulin Village to investigate!" The emperor nodded.
Master Bao got up and saluted: "My Majesty, Bao Zheng sent a pigeon to send a letter yesterday to ask the local county magistrate to investigate. Presumably there will be a return within an hour."
"Okay, then wait." The emperor nodded.
"The minister obeys the order!"
Afterwards, no one spoke, the hall was extremely quiet, and everyone's breathing was clearly audible.
Kneeling on the ground, Jin Qian bowed his back, glanced at Grand Master Pang—satisfied, and then at Huang Gan—smiling crookedly, but felt ominous premonition overwhelming.
Xiaoyi, Yan Chasan, and the villagers of Yulin Village, clear and blurred, their faces floated in front of them... Jinqian's eyes became sore, and the focus was blurred...
Suddenly, a hand grabbed Jin Qian's arm.
The palm is as cold as iron.
Looking up along the arm, you can see the familiar handsome face, the unfamiliar dignified expression, and...the pair of eyes, red, like blood-colored glass, dripping red and startling.
Jin Qian suddenly woke up.
If, if something really happened to the villagers of Yulin Village, wouldn't Mao'er and us be accused of resisting the decree and not obeying the order, and bullying the king in vain!
God!Is it possible that today we and the cat's life will be explained here? !
"My lord—the carrier pigeon that went to Yulin Village, Qingji Town is back!" A yamen servant rushed to the hall and shouted.
Master Bao got up suddenly: "Is there a reply."
"Yes!" The yamen servant stepped forward in two steps and presented a piece of letter paper.
Master Bao hurriedly took it, and when Zhan Xin saw it, his expression froze.
"Bao Qing, what did the letter say?" the emperor asked.
The muscles on Mr. Bao's face trembled, and his usually calm voice trembled slightly, "Report to Your Majesty, the county magistrate replied that Yulin Village is empty, it is an empty village..."
Jin Qian sucked in a breath of cold air, only to feel that his whole body turned icy cold instantly.
"What?!" Bai Yutang's peach blossom eyes burst and he exclaimed.
"The detoxification of the villagers in Yulin Village is clearly an excuse fabricated by Zhan Zhao in order to get rid of crimes and collude with these scumbags!" Grand Master Pang said with a sneer, "Master Bao, who claims to know every detail, can be deceived by such a crude excuse, Your Majesty, It seems that if Mr. Bao cares about it, he will be in chaos, and he will not be able to tell right from wrong!"
The emperor's face was extremely ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "Bao Qing, you kept saying that Zhan Zhao was wronged, and you knelt for a whole night to get my decree to judge Zhan Zhao's case. After the trial, it turned out to be some groundless excuses, how can I be convinced?!"
"Your Majesty!" Lord Bao knelt down straight, raised his fists and raised his voice, "This case is very strange. A villager in Yulin Village disappeared inexplicably. There must be something hidden in it. I hope the Holy Majesty will give you a few days to find out the truth..."
"Find out the truth?!" Taishi Pang said in a dark voice, "When Commander Huang returned to the palace the day before yesterday to detoxify the Queen Mother and then reported everything, Mr. Bao begged His Majesty to wait for Zhan Zhao and others to return to Beijing to find out the truth; when Zhan Zhao returned to Beijing, you I also asked for a public review to find out the truth; when I came to the hall today, Zhan Zhao and the others were making lies without evidence. How dare you mention anything to find out the truth?! The truth is clearly in front of you, don’t tell me you are the one in the hall? Are all people blind?!"
Lord Bao suddenly raised his head: "Your Majesty, there are other secrets in this case, I hope..."
"Hidden feelings? Hidden feelings are that you, Mr. Bao, want to protect that Zhan Zhao!" Grand Master Pang raised his eyebrows.
The emperor frowned.
"Your Majesty, this case involves a lot of things, and it also involves the Empress Dowager. Bao Zheng just wants to find out clearly..." Master Bao clasped his fists hurriedly.
"Understood, understood! As long as you pay back the innocence of the people in Kaifeng Mansion, you will naturally understand!" Grand Master Pang said in a strange way.
"Enough!" The emperor said in a deep voice, "Bao Zheng, I have given you the opportunity to find out the facts of the case over and over again, if you don't confess today, I will definitely ask you for the crime of covering up subordinates and perverting the law for personal gain! "
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the hall was shocked.
Although Jin Qian was kneeling on the ground, he felt his legs and feet were weak and his head was like stars.
Broken, broken, since Lao Bao took charge of the Kaifeng Mansion, he has used the golden signboard of being ruthless and selfless to go all over the world, and now he is charged with "bending the law for personal gain" by the Holy Master, isn't it a discredit.
The palm holding his wrist tightened suddenly, and then slowly loosened.
Jin Qian's heart skipped a beat, and when he looked around, he saw Zhan Zhao closing his eyes and jaws, and his face returned to calm at some point, but Jin Qian's heart was beating wildly, and his back felt chills like being caught by a ghost.
Suddenly, the previous emperor exclaimed in surprise: "Bao Zheng, you!"
Jin Qian hurriedly turned his eyes to look, and was surprised again.
I saw Mr. Bao raised his arms high, and what he offered was the black gauze on his head, he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, since Zhan Zhao joined the Kaifeng Mansion, he has been working hard, going through life and death, serving the country and the people, and fulfilling his duties! Saving Xin Zhanzhao is by no means to steal credit from others, and Bao Zheng is willing to use
Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang, and Jin Qian stood in front of the door in a daze, staring straight at the very familiar black-faced blue sky in front of them, inexplicably shocked.
What did Lao Bao say just now?
Said to tie up the cat with us and escort it to the prison of Kaifeng Mansion? !
Jin Qian only felt a buzzing in his head, his eyes turned white, he was stunned for a long time before he recovered, and turned his gaze to Zhan Zhao's face to the side.
Zhan Zhao's eyes were wide open, his handsome face was tense, and his face was expressionless with shock.
It was Bai Yutang who came to his senses first, stepped forward and clasped his fists, "Master Bao..."
"This government ordered you to tie Zhan Zhao and Jin Qian back to the prison in Kaifeng Mansion! Didn't you hear it?!" Master Bao's face darkened, and he sternly shouted at the yamen servants behind him.
A group of yamen servants gritted their teeth with tears in their faces, stepped forward with ropes in their hands, and tied Zhan Zhao and Jin Qian tremblingly.
Zhan Zhao remained motionless, letting him bind him with a blank expression, while Jin Qian was nothing but dumbfounded.
"Take the two of you back to the prison in Kaifeng Mansion!" Lord Bao shouted again.
All the yamen servants hung their heads, walked to the side of the two, and were about to detain them, but someone beside them suddenly said: "Lord Bao, wait a minute."
But seeing Taishi Pang raised his broom eyebrows, with a face full of fun after watching a good show, he stepped forward and said: "These two are important criminals who disobeyed the imperial edict. They should be sent to the sky prison. Why should they be sent to the prison of Kaifeng Mansion?"
Defy the imperial decree? !
Jin Qian woke up with a jolt.
imperial decree?Could it be the imperial decree to find the Azure Dragon Ball within seven days?Didn't Huang Gan bring the antidote back...
When he was separated from the Immortal Medicine Poison Sage, the Poison Sage's hesitant expression suddenly appeared, and the ominous premonition welled up in his heart.
Alas, our God Jesus!Could it be that Master Master and Second Master did something wrong with the Queen Mother's antidote? !
Thinking of this, Jin Qian couldn't help but glance at Zhan Zhao again.
Just happened to meet Shang Zhanzhao's and Bai Yutang's eyes of the same astonishment.
Tsk, it seems that this cat and mouse thought of it with us.
Master Bao said over there: "Grand Master Pang, it's not clear whether Zhan Zhao and Jin Qian are against the edict, how can they be sent to the prison?"
"My lord Bao, the emperor has ordered these two people to be captured and brought to justice. Are you going to resist the order?" Grand Master Pang sneered, swung his long sleeves, and raised his voice, "Come here, take this important criminal into the sky prison Wait and let it go!"
A silence.
None of the imperial guards behind Grand Master Pang moved.
"Aren't they both deaf?! My grand master ordered you to take these two people into the sky jail!!" Grand master Pang stared at him and shouted again.
"Grand Master Pang, His Majesty ordered these two people to be captured and brought to justice, and he did not order them to be taken to prison." One person stepped forward and said respectfully, it was Yuan Tingli, the commander of the Imperial Army.
"Yuan Tingli, what do you mean?!" Grand Master Pang was so angry that the bags under his eyes trembled.
Commander Yuan took a step back, folded his fists and bowed, and raised his voice, "I respect the order of the Holy Master to capture Zhan Zhao and Jin Qian and bring them to justice! Come, escort these two people to Kaifeng Mansion to wait for their punishment!"
Commander Yuan issued an order, and immediately a dozen guards of the forbidden army surrounded Zhan Zhao, Jin Qian, and Bai Yutang, and walked towards the Kaifeng mansion in a mighty manner. Commander Yuan also walked to Zhan Zhao's side, and compared It's more like a personal bodyguard.
Not to mention Taishi Pang, who was blowing his beard and staring with anger, even Mr. Bao was a little surprised by this turn of events.
"Bao Zheng, Yuan Tingli, this Grand Master will enter the palace right now, and punish you for resisting the order!" Grand Master Pang roared behind everyone.
"Don't bother the grand master, Bao Zheng will enter the palace to perform before the emperor!" Master Bao was not to be outdone.
"Okay, okay you bastard!"
"Master Pang, please!"
Not long after, I saw the official sedan chairs of Taishi Pang and Mr. Bao rushing past the escort team, the two teams of sedan bearers did not touch the ground, they walked like flying, desperately rushing forward.
Zhan Zhao frowned, stared fixedly at the two official sedan chairs away from Juechen for a long while, turned his head and directed the staff beside him, "Master Yuan, you..."
"Master Zhan, you don't need to say too much, Yuan has his own opinion." Commander Yuan said with a blank expression, looking ahead.
"...Thank you..." After a long time, Zhan Zhao said.
"Being able to protect Master Zhan for a while, Yuan can be regarded as an account to the brothers of the Forbidden Army..." Commander Yuan sighed.
Jin Qian glanced at the two of them, and heaved a sigh of relief in secret: Oh, my dear, thanks to the help of Comrade Yuan, a loyal fan of the cat, otherwise he would be thrown into the sky prison by that old crab, and his skin would be peeled off if he didn't die.
-
The prison in Kaifeng Mansion is a place of great importance for officials. On weekdays, except for the jailers who interrogate the prisoners, few people come in and out.
But today, this big prison is really lively.
The Kaifeng mansion arrests the yamen servants, the guards of the forbidden palace, the prison guards... There are nearly a hundred people guarding outside a cell, squeezing the small cell to the ground.
But in the heavily guarded cell, only two people were detained.
Since one of them entered the cell, he was running around like ants on a frying pan, and he couldn't stop muttering as he walked around: "Fifty percent, no, seventy percent... no, eighty percent... ninety percent is the solution." The medicine has moved hands and feet..."
The sound was like a swarm of bees, buzzing on the left and buzzing on the right, it was really noisy, causing the guards, guards and jailers to look sideways and frown secretly, but another person in the cell could make such a loud background noise Sitting down, you can still close your eyes and rest your mind, and the sitting is as stable as Mount Tai.
Obviously they are two people whose behaviors are completely different, but they are in the same room at this time, but there is a sense of echoing in movement and silence, which cannot but be called strange.
When Mr. Gongsun rushed to the prison, he saw such a scene.
"Mr. Gongsun, has the Queen Mother's poison been cured?" Jin Qian's eyes lit up when he saw Mr. Gongsun, and he rushed forward and shouted.
Zhan Zhao also got up immediately, walked quickly to Jin Qian's side and looked at Mr. Gongsun.
Mr. Gongsun glanced at the two of them, sighed and said: "At midnight the day before yesterday, Huang Gan brought the antidote into the palace to detoxify the Queen Mother. The medicine has cured the poison. Now the Queen Mother has a stable pulse and a rosy complexion. She must wake up in a few days."
Zhan and Jin breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"The queen mother's poison has been cured, then there is no problem..." Jin Qian patted his chest.
Mr. Gongsun was startled when he heard the words, he frowned and said, "What does the Empress Dowager's detoxification have to do with Zhan Huwei and Jin Xiaowei?"
Zhan Zhao and Jin Qian were surprised at the same time.
"What's the relationship?" Jin Qian stared at the two eyeballs, and raised his voice an octave, "It has a lot to do with it! The antidote was given by Mr. Zhan to Mr. Huang to bring back to Bianjing to detoxify the Queen Mother!"
"Is this true?!" Mr. Gongsun exclaimed in shock.
"Of course it is true!" Jin Qian nodded in affirmation.
Mr. Gongsun turned his gaze to Zhan Zhao again: "Guard Zhan, can you tell me the ins and outs of this antidote."
Zhan Zhao nodded, and then told how he met Yizhimei, went to Yulin Village, how he met the two doctors, immortals and poison saints, how he refined the antidote, and how he gave the antidote to Huang Gan to bring back to help the villagers detoxify. Waiting for the matter to be briefly described, but the two paragraphs of "serial beauty trick" and black-clothed killer were omitted.
After hearing this, Mr. Gongsun, his fair complexion turned green and black, his phoenix eyes showed a fierce look, and he suddenly raised his voice: "Huang Gan, this birdman!"
Zhan Zhao and Jin Qian were on the spot in shock.
You must know that Mr. Gongsun is a famous Confucian, who has always been refined and gentle, and treats people and things with etiquette as the first priority. At this time, he is swearing at him regardless of his image. It is really a rare thing in a century.
"Gong, Mr. Gongsun..." Jin Qian called out tentatively with his voice trembling.
Mr. Gongsun raised his head abruptly, and said: "Wait, do you know what Huang Qian said?" Before the two of them could reply, he said angrily, "Huang Gan said that the antidote was that he searched all over famous people and hermits alone. Obtaining it for the Empress Dowager, not only did not mention half a sentence of credit for you two, but even..."
"Even what?!" Jin Qian had already heard the signs at this time, and his thin eyes were glowing red.
"Huang Qian also said that on the way back to Beijing, he met Zhan Wei, who was unsuccessful in searching for Qinglongzhu, and gangsters such as Yizhimei, who joined forces to attack him, intending to steal the antidote and return to the palace to invite rewards. Send the antidote back in time to detoxify the Queen Mother!"
After saying some words, both Zhan Zhao and Jin Qian were stunned in place, silent for a while.
Suddenly, Jin Qian took a step back, kicked hard on the prison fence, and cursed: "Huang Gan, a birdman who kills a thousand swords!! Let's greet his eighteen generations of ancestors!"
Zhan Zhao's complexion was like a dark cloud covering the sun, his handsome face was silent and frightening.
"Huang Gan is now the empress dowager's life-saving hero, the emperor obeys him, and the grand master Pang is on the sidelines to fuel the jealousy, the holy majesty immediately ordered Zhan Huwei and Jin Xiaowei to be arrested and brought to justice. If Master Bao did not use his life as a guarantee to try his best to deal with it, I'm afraid that at this time, the lives of the two of you are already in danger," Mr. Gongsun continued.
"Mr. Gongsun, Zhan Zhao is willing to confront Huang Qian face to face!" Zhan Zhao took a step forward, his starry eyes glaring brightly.
"Yes, let that surnamed Huang confront us face to face!" Jin Qian also rushed over and said angrily, "There are villagers from Yulin Village who can testify for us, as well as the medical fairy, poison sage, Yizhi Mei and Bai Yutang are both witnesses!"
Mr. Gongsun nodded, "Master Bao has already expected what you two said, so after you two entered the city safely, he entered the palace to speak for you two, and asked the Holy Spirit to order a public trial of the case. Now someone has proved that it is true. Even better, it's just..." Mr. Gongsun frowned, "You two, do you know where the two seniors, the Immortal Doctor, the Sage of Poison, and Yizhimei are now?"
"This..." Jin Qian was speechless:
The master and the second master have always seen the beginning and the end of the dragon, but that Yizhimei has been tossed so much this time, and at this time, he may have found a clean place to hide. These three people have always been good at hiding. I'm afraid I won't be able to find it for a while.
And the villagers of Yulin Village...
"Yulin Village is far away from Kaifeng, and it will take a whole day and night to get there at a fast pace. If the villagers who have just recovered from serious illness are called to testify now... I am afraid it will be too late..." Mr. Gongsun shook his head slightly.
Jin Qian's face turned pale immediately, very annoyed, and secretly said:
It is really inconvenient in ancient times when the technology was underdeveloped. If it is placed in modern times, telephone, radio, television, telegraph, and computer can be picked at random!
"The only solution for now..." Mr. Gongsun frowned, twisted his beard and thought for a moment, then suddenly turned and walked out, "I will send a letter to the local county magistrate, asking him to record the testimony of the villagers in Yulin Village as a confession, and then Send it back with a flying pigeon!" After walking a few steps, he paused again, turned around and said, "Don't worry about Zhan Weiwei and Jin Xiaowei."
After finishing speaking, he left in a hurry, Liu Zhanzhao and Jin Qian stood in the cell.
After a long time, Jin Qian suddenly turned around, looked directly at Zhan Zhao, and said with burning eyes: "Master Zhan, I have something to say to my subordinates, I hope Master Zhan will agree."
Zhan Zhao's heart skipped a beat, he suddenly raised his eyes to look at Jin Qian, opened and closed his lips several times, and then slowly said in a deep voice: "This time, it's all because Zhan Zhao insisted on going his own way, didn't listen to Captain Jin's persuasion, trusted treacherous people, and certain……"
"Master Zhan, what are you talking about?" Jin Qian blinked his eyelids with a puzzled expression.
Zhan Zhao was stunned: "Isn't Captain Jin going to say these things?"
Jin Qian hurriedly waved his hands and shook his head: "In order to save the villagers of Yulin Village, Mr. Zhan did not hesitate to transfer the credit to others. This is an act of self-sacrifice, self-sacrifice, integrity, selflessness, and earth-shattering action. I admire it very much!" Speaking of this, he still didn't forget to turn around Putting on a worship pose, he continued, "My subordinates' admiration for Mr. Zhan is like a continuous river, like a majestic mountain and a mountain in the South, like a sea of clouds, like a boundless universe... and like, It's like...that...ahem..."
Speaking of this, even Jin Qian, who is known as the No. 1 mouth in Bianjing, couldn't make it up anymore, so he could only suffocate a dry cough.
Cough cough, on weekdays, as long as we talk about the part of "the surging river", we will definitely be cut off by this cat who doesn't like to listen to flattery, why today we all talk about dry mouth, tongue and teeth, and there is no word. Why doesn't the cat squeak? !
Jin Qian tilted his head slightly, and glanced at Zhan Zhao.
I saw that Zhan Zhaoding was staring at himself, his starry eyes seemed to contain long spring water, trickling clear springs, and waves of light and ripples enveloped him.
Jin Qian only felt that his heartbeat suddenly stopped for half a beat, and then started beating wildly again, like the beating of a war drum. Silently vest the Heart Sutra.
Prajnaparamita, Prajnaparamita... No, no, form is emptiness, emptiness is form... Form is not... Form is nothing... Ouch, what's wrong with this cat today, cat's eyes The lethality is so amazing? !
"Lieutenant Jin just said that he has something to say, what is it?" Zhan Zhao's voice came from behind.
All the discomfort dissipated in an instant, and a burst of anger filled his chest, which made Jin Qian's aura suddenly increased. He put his hands on his hips, took a sharp breath, and scolded sharply: "You weasel who is full of farts, you will have a son who will have no ass holes in the future— —”
The mournful tone instantly spread to every corner of the prison, shaking the guards outside and the prisoners in the prison into chaos.
But Zhan Zhao behind Jin Qian had a faint smile on his handsome face, so faint that even Zhan Zhao himself didn't notice it, but it was blown away by the cold wind in the cell and disappeared without a trace...
-
In the early morning of the second day, Zhan Jin and his two were led by the prison chief Meng Le to wait outside the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion to be summoned by Mr. Bao.
But as soon as the two of them came outside the lobby, they felt something was wrong.
In the front yard of the lobby, there are many guards of the imperial guards, eunuchs and maids of the dragon crown, and everything is golden everywhere.
This kind of formation only shows one thing - Sheng Jia is here in person!
On the side, Meng Laotou whispered to Zhan Zhao and Jin Qian: "I heard that Mr. Bao knelt outside the emperor's bedroom for a whole night before asking the emperor to order you to be promoted to the court for public trial. After the meeting, you two have What grievances can be clearly stated."
"Of course, of course!" Jin Qian nodded frequently, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and took a peek at Zhan Zhao who was beside him. He saw that Zhan Zhao's waist was straight and his expression was as usual. shape.
Tsk, this cat really has seen big scenes, and his mental quality is indeed not at the same level as ours.
"Lieutenant Jin, after going to class, everything is subject to what Zhan said, so don't talk too much!" Suddenly, Zhan Zhao turned his eyes, stared at Jin Qian and said solemnly.
"Eh?" Jin Qian was stunned for a moment, then immediately nodded and said, "That's natural, that's natural! Everything under my subordinates is guided by Mr. Zhan, and I will never say a word!"
Zhan Zhao nodded.
"Ascension!"
"mighty--"
"Chuan Zhanzhao and Jin Qian went to the church—"
Zhan Zhao walked first, followed by Jin Qian into the lobby. As he walked, he carefully observed the atmosphere in the hall, and secretly figured out: in the middle of the hall, there is a black-faced Mr. Bao, and behind the writing desk, there is a white-faced Gongsun bamboo. The four King Kong standing at four corners is a common lineup, but there are two more high-end observers behind Mr. Bao's right.
The one on the right, wearing a dragon robe with a jade belt, and clear eyes, is the supreme leader of the current dynasty, Comrade Renzong, the emperor; The father-in-law is Grand Master Pang.
The problem is that Brother Renzong's complexion is quite unfriendly, but the old crab's face is determined to win, Master Bao's complexion is abnormally pale, and Mr. Gongsun's complexion is abnormally dark—unlucky, very unlucky!
The two came to the center of the hall, raised their robes and knelt down and said:
"Long live, long live Zhan Zhao to see the emperor! See Grand Master, Lord Bao." "Long live, long live Jinqian to see the emperor! See Grand Master, Lord Bao."
"Crack!" The gavel slammed on the table, and the sound resounded inside and outside the hall.
"Zhan Zhao, Jin Qian, can you two be convicted?!" Lord Bao shouted.
Jin Qian couldn't help trembling, for some reason, he suddenly remembered the unlucky scene when he and Qin Xianglian had their first intercourse.
"Zhan Zhao doesn't know what crime he committed! Please make it clear, sir!" Zhan Zhao straightened up on his knees and said loudly.
"If the two of you fail to find the Azure Dragon Ball within seven days to cure the Queen Mother of poison, you are committing a serious crime of disobedience!" Master Bao said sharply.
"Returning to my lord, although Zhan Zhao failed to find the Azure Dragon Ball within seven days, he managed to find two senior masters, the Immortal Doctor and the Saint of Poison, who are well-known in the world, to prepare the antidote for the Queen Mother, and asked the Deputy Commander of the Forbidden Army to envoy Lord Huang Gan was brought back to the palace the day before yesterday, exactly within seven days." Zhan Zhao raised his staring eyes and said seriously.
"Hmph, it's a bunch of nonsense!" Grand Master Pang sneered, "The antidote was clearly found by Huang Qian to detoxify the Queen Mother through untold hardships, so what has it to do with you two? You are obviously talking nonsense!"
Master Bao frowned: "Grand Master Pang, during this period, Bao Zheng will ask to clarify the right and wrong. Please stay calm and don't be impatient."
Grand Master Pang sneered, but really stopped talking.
The emperor's face was even more serious.
"Come here, invite Commander Huang to come to the court!" Master Bao raised his voice.
"Commander Huang please come to the court—"
Not long after, I saw a person rushing into the hall, with a bandage wrapped around his forehead, blood stains were hidden, he knelt down and said: "The deputy commander of the imperial army Huang Gan kowtowed to the emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
"Huang Aiqing doesn't need to be too polite, let's be flat." Emperor Renzong nodded and said softly.
Jin Qian's heart suddenly turned cold, and he thought to himself: It's not good, it's not good, it seems that this weasel has a very high status in front of the emperor now!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Huang Qian stood up, clasped his fists at Grand Master Pang and Master Bao, "Huang Gan has met Grand Master and Master Bao."
"Hehe, Master Huang doesn't need to be too polite." Grand Master Pang said happily.
Lord Bao nodded slightly, and asked: "Commander Huang, just now Zhan Zhao said that the antidote for the Queen Mother was that he found two senior experts to make it better, and asked you to take it back to the Forbidden Palace to detoxify the Queen Mother, do you have any objections?" ?”
"Master Huibao, the antidote was made by Huang Gan, a hermit expert. On the way to find the antidote, Huang Qian had never seen Zhan's guards!" On the way back to Beijing, he met Zhan Weiwei, who failed to find the green dragon ball, and Naqin's wanted criminal, Yi Zhimei, and others, who wanted to snatch the antidote and return to Beijing to claim credit. My lord is aware!"
The hall was silent.
Zhan Zhao's fists crackled and were almost crushed.
Jin Qian was so angry that his eyelids twitched wildly.
Grandma's, if it wasn't for being in the lobby at this time, and if the old emperor wasn't there, we would have scolded him bloody, poohed him with a bad reputation, kicked him so hard he couldn't take care of himself!
Master Bao's face was gloomy, his sharp eyes half-closed, and he continued to ask after a while: "Dare to ask Commander Huang, is there evidence for what you said?"
Huang Gan looked innocent: "Huang Gan brought the antidote back, and detoxified the empress dowager for her wounds. Now that the empress dowager's poison has been cured, she will wake up in a few days. This is the great evidence. Why did Mr. Bao ask Huang?" Why do you want evidence?" After a pause, he looked down at Zhan Zhao again, and suddenly realized, "Ah, Huang Gan actually forgot that Guard Zhan is Master Bao's right-hand man. His life is in danger, no wonder Mr. Bao is trying to get rid of his guilt. But..." Huang Gan clasped his fists again, with a righteous face, "Now that the emperor and the grand master are here, Huang Gan would not dare It's useless to bully you, you can only tell the truth, and I hope Master Bao will forgive you!"
After saying a few words, the entire Kaifeng Mansion was filled with anger, staring at Huang Qian like a sword like a knife, wishing to pierce him through.
There was a crack on the floor tiles under Zhan Zhao's knees, and the cold air overflowed his whole body.
Jin Qian's gum tissue began to twist.
What are the top ten tortures in ancient times?Skinned, cut into half, divided into five horses, buried alive in Ling Chi... We have to try everything on this weasel!
Grand Master Pang sighed, and said regretfully: "I have heard that Mr. Bao is fair and strict in handling cases, and never favoritism. Looking at it now, it is only mediocre."
The emperor's face darkened again.
Master Bao's face froze, and he slapped the gavel: "Commander Huang, don't talk about other things and disturb the court!"
"Master Bao's lesson is that Huang Qian was rude." Huang Gan cupped his fists respectfully.
"Bao Qing, what Huang Qian said is not unreasonable. Zhan Zhao is Bao Qing's subordinate, so it is really inappropriate for Bao Qing to interrogate him. Why don't we transfer the case to Dali Temple..." the emperor said with a frown.
"Your Majesty!" Lord Bao got up abruptly, turned around and lifted his robe and knelt down, "Since Bao Zheng became an official, there has been absolutely no favoritism in adjudicating cases. Bao Zheng will handle this case impartially!"
"This..." The emperor glanced at Grand Master Pang.
Grand Master Pang raised his eyebrows: "Your Majesty, since Master Bao has made such a promise, why don't we see how Master Bao handles it impartially, without favoritism!"
The emperor nodded: "Alright, Bao Qing will continue the trial."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lord Bao turned around and sat down, his eyes swept over the three people in the hall, "Zhan Zhao, do you have evidence for what you just said?"
The hall was silent.
Zhan Zhao straightened his body and knelt down, lowered his head and lowered his eyes, without making a sound.
"Zhan Zhao! Can you hear what the government is asking you?" Master Bao raised his voice a little more.
"Master Zhan..." Jin Qian hastily tugged at the corner of Zhan Zhao's sleeve.
Zhan Zhao's Adam's apple moved, and he slowly raised his head.
"My lord, Zhan Zhao has witnesses."
"Where are the witnesses?"
"Two pharmaceutical seniors, a villager in Yulin Village, and Bai Yutang on the empty island can all testify!"
"Come here, pass on Bai Yutang to the hall!"
"Bai Yutang -"
Before he finished speaking, he saw a person rushing towards him with the wind. He was dressed in white over snow, handsome and indifferent, kneeling on one knee with his robe lifted: "Cao Min Bai Yutang kowtowed to see the emperor, long live, met Mr. Bao, and met the Grand Master!"
The last four words "meet the grand master" were almost squeezed out between the teeth.
"You are Bai Yutang?" Before Lord Bao could speak, the emperor spoke first, looked at Bai Yutang, and nodded slightly, "You really have the demeanor of a knight!"
"Your Majesty, this person was born as a grassroots bandit. He behaves perversely and strikes fiercely. He is definitely not a kind person." Grand Master Pang said with an angry look on his face, gnashing his teeth.
Jin Qian's eyelids twitched: Tsk, this old crab probably thinks of the unrecognizable Grand Master's Mansion that was tossed by those four mice.
But it seems that the emperor has a good impression of Bai Mouse, Bai Wuye, quickly throw two peachy eyes and stun Comrade Tianzi, maybe Comrade Tianzi will stand on our side as soon as he faints.
Thinking of this, Jin Qian hurriedly gave Bai Yutang a wink.
Seeing this, he was taken aback.
Bai Yutang glanced at him fixedly, his peach eyes dimmed, and then he glanced at Zhan Zhao, his handsome face froze instantly, and the surrounding temperature dropped sharply.
Whoops, this white mouse has been with cats for a long time, why not learn it, but learn the trick of "playing murderous"?
Jin Qian rubbed the goose bumps on his arms.
"Your Majesty, although Bai Yutang is from the Jianghu, he also knows what faith is. He is no better than some people. As an official of the imperial court, he is ungrateful and shameless!" Bai Yutang said coldly.
The emperor's face suddenly turned ugly.
"Presumptuous!" Grand Master Pang slapped the armrest, jumped up and shouted, "Bai Yutang, you dare to slander the court officials in front of the emperor, you are simply presumptuous, presumptuous!"
"Bai Yutang, don't be rude!" Master Bao slapped the gavel and shouted.
"Master Bao!" Bai Yutang cupped his fists and said loudly, "Bai Yutang is just telling the truth!"
"How do you say that?" Master Bao said in a slow voice.
Bai Yutang's peach blossom eyes widened, and he said sharply, "The antidote was made by Zhan Huwei, Jin Xiaowei, Qiu Yixian, and Poison Sage. Zhan Huwei just asked Huang Gan to bring the antidote back first, so as not to delay the empress dowager. For detoxification, when Huang Qian was about to leave, he swore that he would definitely report the merits of Zhan Huwei and Jin Xiaowei to the emperor, why now it is inexplicably turned into the merits of him alone, isn’t this an ungrateful and shameless person?!”
After saying a few words, the faces of Huang Qian and Grand Master Pang turned dark, and the emperor was thoughtful.
Jin Qian looked sideways, looking at Bai Yutang with a little more admiration:
Unexpectedly, this white mouse is so eloquent!
"According to what you said, since the two of them found the antidote prepared by an expert, why didn't they personally escort it, but asked Commander Huang to bring it back to the palace?" Master Bao asked.
"Your Excellency, you know that if the antidote is to be effective, someone with profound inner strength must activate the antidote's properties, otherwise the antidote will be like a waste product." Bai Yutang asked.
Master Bao nodded, and glanced at the emperor: "The same is true when Commander Huang detoxifies the Queen Mother."
The emperor nodded slightly.
Bai Yutang's expression darkened, and he said: "But does your lord know that more than 30 villagers in Yulin Village are all suffering from a strange poison, the poison is the same as the Queen Mother's poison, and they are all in danger."
"What?!" The emperor was shocked.
Bai Yutang clasped his fists together: "Lord Bao, the second day after the antidote is made is when the villagers are poisoned, and detoxification is a very exhausting matter of internal energy. You have to save the names of all the villagers, and you can't delay the Queen Mother's detoxification." Zhan Huwei asked Huang Gan to bring back the antidote first, but he stayed in Yulin Village to help the villagers detoxify."
Speaking of this, Bai Yutang glanced at Zhan Zhao, with a serious expression on his face, "May I ask Mr. Bao, who in the world does not know that saving the Queen Mother's life is an incomparable contribution, and who would not spend all their time trying to grab such a contribution, but why? In order to save the lives of the people, someone handed over such a great contribution to others, but now this man who is the king of the people is framed and imprisoned, it is really chilling!"
Lang Lang's voice, but now it has a bit of desolation, which makes everyone's heart twitch.
White Mouse, well said!Jin Qian clenched his fist secretly.
Looking at the people in the hall, Master Bao had a look of praise, everyone in the Kaifeng Mansion admired him, and the emperor's expression softened obviously when he looked at Zhan Zhao.
but……
That grand master Pang didn't take it seriously, he was still complacent.
But Huang Gan sneered, clasped his fists and said: "Qi Your Majesty, this person and that Zhan Zhao have always had a very close friendship, everything he said was to exonerate Zhan Zhao, it is absolutely unbelievable!"
"Huang Gan! Don't bully me too much!" Bai Yutang shouted sharply.
"Why, let Huang's words hit the mark, and become angry?" Huang Qian tilted his head and raised his eyebrows.
"you!"
Snapped!
The gavel sounded suddenly.
"Above the court, don't argue in private!" Master Bao yelled, paused, and said, "Bai Yutang, is there anyone else to prove what you just said?"
"The two seniors, the Immortal Doctor and the Saint of Poison, can all testify." Bai Yutang clasped his fists and said.
"Where are the two of them now?"
"This..." Bai Yutang frowned, "After the two seniors prepared the antidote, they disappeared..."
"That means there is no one to testify!" Grand Master Pang said leisurely, knocking on the armrest of the wooden chair, "Speaking of which, it is not certain whether there are such two seniors in the world!"
"And Yulin Village..." Bai Yutang said again.
But just halfway through his sentence, Huang Gan interrupted him.
I saw Huang Gan clasped his fists with both hands, with a grievance on his face:
"Your Majesty, since this person said with certainty that Zhan Zhao did not deliver the antidote himself because he was trying to save a village in Yulin Village, why not ask the Emperor to send someone to Yulin Village to find out! You can also clear the subordinate's name!"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone's expressions changed.
Master Bao stared wide-eyed, Mr. Gongsun was stunned when he picked up his pen, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked straight at Huang Gan with astonishment on their faces.
Jin Qian's face was even paler.
This weasel actually proposed to let the villagers of Yulin Village come to testify? !why?As soon as the villagers of Yulin Village came, Huang Gan's set of lies would definitely be exposed. Why did this weasel ram himself into the muzzle of the gun? !Unless... broken, broken!He must have known that the villagers of Yulin Village would not be able to come, so he dared...Could it be, could it be that the villagers of that village have been silenced...
Thinking of this, Jin Qian's hairs stood on end, he didn't dare to think about it any more.
"Commander Huang is right, Bao Qing, let's send someone to Yulin Village to investigate!" The emperor nodded.
Master Bao got up and saluted: "My Majesty, Bao Zheng sent a pigeon to send a letter yesterday to ask the local county magistrate to investigate. Presumably there will be a return within an hour."
"Okay, then wait." The emperor nodded.
"The minister obeys the order!"
Afterwards, no one spoke, the hall was extremely quiet, and everyone's breathing was clearly audible.
Kneeling on the ground, Jin Qian bowed his back, glanced at Grand Master Pang—satisfied, and then at Huang Gan—smiling crookedly, but felt ominous premonition overwhelming.
Xiaoyi, Yan Chasan, and the villagers of Yulin Village, clear and blurred, their faces floated in front of them... Jinqian's eyes became sore, and the focus was blurred...
Suddenly, a hand grabbed Jin Qian's arm.
The palm is as cold as iron.
Looking up along the arm, you can see the familiar handsome face, the unfamiliar dignified expression, and...the pair of eyes, red, like blood-colored glass, dripping red and startling.
Jin Qian suddenly woke up.
If, if something really happened to the villagers of Yulin Village, wouldn't Mao'er and us be accused of resisting the decree and not obeying the order, and bullying the king in vain!
God!Is it possible that today we and the cat's life will be explained here? !
"My lord—the carrier pigeon that went to Yulin Village, Qingji Town is back!" A yamen servant rushed to the hall and shouted.
Master Bao got up suddenly: "Is there a reply."
"Yes!" The yamen servant stepped forward in two steps and presented a piece of letter paper.
Master Bao hurriedly took it, and when Zhan Xin saw it, his expression froze.
"Bao Qing, what did the letter say?" the emperor asked.
The muscles on Mr. Bao's face trembled, and his usually calm voice trembled slightly, "Report to Your Majesty, the county magistrate replied that Yulin Village is empty, it is an empty village..."
Jin Qian sucked in a breath of cold air, only to feel that his whole body turned icy cold instantly.
"What?!" Bai Yutang's peach blossom eyes burst and he exclaimed.
"The detoxification of the villagers in Yulin Village is clearly an excuse fabricated by Zhan Zhao in order to get rid of crimes and collude with these scumbags!" Grand Master Pang said with a sneer, "Master Bao, who claims to know every detail, can be deceived by such a crude excuse, Your Majesty, It seems that if Mr. Bao cares about it, he will be in chaos, and he will not be able to tell right from wrong!"
The emperor's face was extremely ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "Bao Qing, you kept saying that Zhan Zhao was wronged, and you knelt for a whole night to get my decree to judge Zhan Zhao's case. After the trial, it turned out to be some groundless excuses, how can I be convinced?!"
"Your Majesty!" Lord Bao knelt down straight, raised his fists and raised his voice, "This case is very strange. A villager in Yulin Village disappeared inexplicably. There must be something hidden in it. I hope the Holy Majesty will give you a few days to find out the truth..."
"Find out the truth?!" Taishi Pang said in a dark voice, "When Commander Huang returned to the palace the day before yesterday to detoxify the Queen Mother and then reported everything, Mr. Bao begged His Majesty to wait for Zhan Zhao and others to return to Beijing to find out the truth; when Zhan Zhao returned to Beijing, you I also asked for a public review to find out the truth; when I came to the hall today, Zhan Zhao and the others were making lies without evidence. How dare you mention anything to find out the truth?! The truth is clearly in front of you, don’t tell me you are the one in the hall? Are all people blind?!"
Lord Bao suddenly raised his head: "Your Majesty, there are other secrets in this case, I hope..."
"Hidden feelings? Hidden feelings are that you, Mr. Bao, want to protect that Zhan Zhao!" Grand Master Pang raised his eyebrows.
The emperor frowned.
"Your Majesty, this case involves a lot of things, and it also involves the Empress Dowager. Bao Zheng just wants to find out clearly..." Master Bao clasped his fists hurriedly.
"Understood, understood! As long as you pay back the innocence of the people in Kaifeng Mansion, you will naturally understand!" Grand Master Pang said in a strange way.
"Enough!" The emperor said in a deep voice, "Bao Zheng, I have given you the opportunity to find out the facts of the case over and over again, if you don't confess today, I will definitely ask you for the crime of covering up subordinates and perverting the law for personal gain! "
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the hall was shocked.
Although Jin Qian was kneeling on the ground, he felt his legs and feet were weak and his head was like stars.
Broken, broken, since Lao Bao took charge of the Kaifeng Mansion, he has used the golden signboard of being ruthless and selfless to go all over the world, and now he is charged with "bending the law for personal gain" by the Holy Master, isn't it a discredit.
The palm holding his wrist tightened suddenly, and then slowly loosened.
Jin Qian's heart skipped a beat, and when he looked around, he saw Zhan Zhao closing his eyes and jaws, and his face returned to calm at some point, but Jin Qian's heart was beating wildly, and his back felt chills like being caught by a ghost.
Suddenly, the previous emperor exclaimed in surprise: "Bao Zheng, you!"
Jin Qian hurriedly turned his eyes to look, and was surprised again.
I saw Mr. Bao raised his arms high, and what he offered was the black gauze on his head, he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, since Zhan Zhao joined the Kaifeng Mansion, he has been working hard, going through life and death, serving the country and the people, and fulfilling his duties! Saving Xin Zhanzhao is by no means to steal credit from others, and Bao Zheng is willing to use
