Anyone who complains of injustice can be brought to trial. In order to prevent the matter from going unsolved, Mr. Bao publicized the "Uncle Guo Case" in a big way, attracting a lot of attention, and brought all those involved back to Kaifeng Mansion with great fanfare. No one could remain silent.
To suppress the case.
The imperial palace in the capital reacted strongly after receiving the news of the case of Guo Ji. When Empress Cao heard that her eldest brother had been injured by a solid stone and her second brother had lost limbs, she became so angry that she fainted and remained unconscious for a long time, leaving the imperial doctor alone.
No matter how much medicine was prescribed, the queen could not regain consciousness. The emperor was anxious about the queen's condition and sent a eunuch to deliver a secret decree to Bao Zheng, ordering Bao Xiren to quickly handle the "attack on the uncle" and arrest the gangsters who injured the two uncles.
However, regarding the "Guojiu raid case", the emperor believed that it was appropriate to investigate it secretly. Mrs. Cao, the old lady of the Cao family, led many tiger disciples of the Cao family to the Kaifeng government office and asked Bao Zheng to immediately kill Lu Dongbin and others who had "slandered" Cao Jingzhi.
, and stopped the "Guojiu Search Case".
Faced with heavy pressure, Bao Zheng refused to compromise, and he dealt with all those who threatened and tempted him. He vowed to handle this case well and seek justice for the people of the world. However, this case was not easy to handle. The Cao Mansion relied on
The court forces strictly inspected the people coming and going in Kaifeng, and no one was allowed to come in or out if they were involved in the "Guo Ji's raid case". Bao Xiren had no other witnesses except Lu Dongbin and others at hand.
"The most difficult part is Your Majesty." Bao Zheng sat in the back hall, thinking carefully about the matter here, "Your Majesty and the Queen have a sincere relationship. This time the Queen fainted, and Your Majesty was worried and did not want to hurt the Queen's feelings again, so he acquiesced in Cao Mansion's ban
Come and go, stop me from handling the case. What should I do?"
In addition to Bao Zheng, Zhan Zhao, who rescued Cao Jingxiu, is also here. Since they met that day, Bao Xiren and Zhan Xiongfei hit it off and became good friends. They had a very happy conversation. Master Bao hired Zhan Zhao as his personal bodyguard to accompany him.
When Shi heard that the Lord was in trouble, Zhan Zhao said: "Sir, there is actually a witness in the capital."
"Oh?" Bao Zheng asked, "Who?"
"Uncle Da Guo, Cao Jingxiu." Zhan Zhao said, "Sir, this time it was Uncle Da Guo who took the lead in exposing the evil deeds of Uncle Er Guo. He is both a party and a witness, and he is also a member of the Cao family. If he can tell
What else can the Cao Mansion say about Cao Jingzhi’s evil deeds?”
"What Xiong Fei said is absolutely true," Bao Zheng said, "but how do we get Uncle Da Guo to testify? The Cao Mansion has long brought Uncle Da Guo and Uncle Er Guo back to the mansion in the name of treatment, and they haven't shown up yet, so what? What's more?
Uncle Da Guo is seriously injured, and it is difficult to predict whether he will live or die, and it is even more difficult to count on him."
"You can't die." Zhan Zhao said, "Master Guang Liang once said that Uncle Daguo is a good person and a heavenly being, so he can't die easily. My lord, why don't I go see Uncle Daguo and ask him if he is willing to meet."
Bao Zheng asked: "Can you meet Uncle Da Guo?"
"I saved two uncles. I think the Cao Mansion will not consider me an enemy when I come here." Zhan Zhao said, "And to be honest with you, before I came here, Master Guang Liang gave me two pills, saying they could save lives and heal the wounded.
I use this as a reason, maybe the Cao Mansion will allow me to see my great uncle."
"Well, not bad, you can try it." Bao Zheng nodded, "Then Xiong Fei, I'll help you."
"I don't dare. I am doing it for the sake of the people of the world." Zhan Zhao said, "Sir, there is actually no danger in me going to test the Cao family. On the contrary, you should be careful. The emperor is obviously partial to the Cao family. He may become angry and depose you.
Alas~ It's pitiful that you are dedicated to serving your country, yet you are treated like this by the emperor. It's so heartbreaking."
Bao Zheng shook his head and said, "Xiong Fei's words are wrong. Your Majesty is a rare and tolerant ruler. Although he scolds me for being worried about his loved ones all the time, he is by no means stupid. I can have a reputation of being upright because of your majesty's tolerance."
If it were a monarch of other dynasties, Bao would have died a long time ago. It is human nature for His Majesty to love his relatives. If he doesn’t even love his family, how can he love the world? As long as I find enough
Evidence, I believe that His Majesty will eventually act impartially."
Zhan Zhao failed to consider this logic, "It turns out that this is your idea, and Xiong Fei has learned from it."
Farewell to Bao Xiren, Zhan Xiongfei left Kaifeng Mansion and went to Cao Mansion at night to explain his purpose. The people in Cao Mansion knew Zhan Zhao and knew that he saved two uncles. At this moment, they heard that he had a life-saving elixir. Mrs. Cao
Not doubting that he was there, he quickly invited him into the house. Zhan Zhao was taken to Cao Jingxiu's rest room. On the way, he heard screams in a certain room. He was confused and asked softly who made the noise. Mrs. Cao sobbed and said that it was the two countries.
His uncle was wailing, and Cao Jingzhi, who had lost his limbs, was in uncontrollable pain whenever he woke up. From dawn to dusk, he kept wailing for a long time, and the wounds on his limbs would burst and bleed from time to time, which was horrible to watch.
"You deserve it." Zhan Zhao laughed in his heart, but naturally he did not dare to show relief on his face. He continued to move forward with his head lowered, and finally came to Cao Jingxiu's room, "How is uncle Da Guo? Have you ever screamed and wailed?"
Mrs. Cao said: "It's strange to say that Jingxiu's stone bar penetrates his heart. It is reasonable to say that he will not live long, but there is nothing wrong with him. His breath is long and lasting, and there is no pain. He is like a normal person, but he is not awake. But if...
"
"What if?"
"If you touch the stone bar on his heart," Mrs. Cao said, "if you touch it even a little bit, Jing Xiu will be so painful that he will sweat all over his head, but he still won't wake up."
"Is that so?" Zhan Zhao nodded and was about to enter the door, but suddenly said to everyone in the Cao Mansion, "Can you please stay? Master Guang Liang said that the elixir cannot contain the aura of sadness and worry, and it is necessary for relatives and friends to avoid suspicion."
"This..." Mrs. Cao hesitated a little, and finally agreed to Zhan Zhao's request, "Okay, I'll avoid suspicion, and Hero Xiong Fei can go in alone."
"Thank you, madam, for your understanding." Zhan Zhao stepped in and closed the door.
At this time, Cao Jingxiu was sleeping peacefully in the room, lying on his back on the bed with a stone in his heart, but his breathing was indeed stable and there was nothing wrong with it. Zhan Xiongfei couldn't help but marveled.
Arriving at Uncle Da Guo's bedside, Zhan Zhao took out a pill and fed it to Cao Jingxiu, and then called softly, "Uncle Guo, wake up, wake up, wake up quickly."
Uncle Da Guo had been unconscious for several days, but today he opened his eyes with a few words, "Xia Zhan Zhao, thank you for saving me."
Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "Oh? Uncle Guo knows me?"
Cao Jingxiu said: "I was conscious from the beginning to the end, but I couldn't wake up and naturally knew who was going to save me."
"I see." Zhan Zhao said, "Does Uncle Guo know why I came here?"
"I guess." Cao Jingxiu said, "I guess it was Bao Qingtian who asked me to testify?"
"Exactly." Zhan Zhao asked, "Uncle Daguo, are you willing to kill your relatives and testify against Uncle Erguo?"
Cao Jingxiu said: "Even if I want to, how can my mother and others allow me to go out?"
"That's... that's true." Zhan Zhao carefully observed the defense of the Cao Mansion when he came. He saw that there were strict defenses inside and outside, and there were no loopholes. Uncle Da Guo was afraid that it would be difficult for people to leave unnoticed, "How is this?"
good?"
Cao Jingxiu asked: "Why don't I write a book and write down the sins of my second brother in my own handwriting? Do you have a pen, paper, inkstone, and Daxia Zhan?"
"Never brought it."
"If not..." Cao Jingxiu looked around and saw that there was no writing in the room, and he was immediately embarrassed. Until a certain moment, Uncle Daguo saw the stone stick inserted in his heart, and an idea came to him, and he opened his mouth and laughed: "Guang
Master Liang and Master Dawu robbed me that day. They wanted to rip out my heart and write an IOU with my blood. Hahaha... So that's it. That's it. I came from a well-established family and didn't make any contribution to the country or the people, but I have been honored for many years. This is a debt.
, It’s just a debt, hahahahaha..." Although he laughed, he burst into tears, feeling extremely sad and angry.
Zhan Zhao was a smart man and immediately understood what Uncle Guo meant, "Uncle Guo, do you really want to do this?!"
"It must be so."
"How can you endure the pain of tearing out your heart?!"
"For justice for the common people, why fear the pain of gouging out your heart! This is what I owe to the common people!"
