In Liuyan Alley at the entrance of Yanzhenguan East Street, there are luxurious mansions, but there are no stalls selling goods like those elsewhere, and you can't even see the traders walking around the streets carrying carts.
In fact, there was nothing unusual here at first. It was all because a vicious family moved in two years ago. Since then, there have been groups of people with colorful arms and scarred faces, coming in and out of here at all times of the day, and not even bothering to visit the patrol shops nearby.
Don't ask. The surrounding merchants were harassed by it and either closed down or moved away, turning the beautiful paradise of kings into a ghost on earth.
It was almost dusk, and there were a few men sitting at the entrance of the alley with their braids upturned and their bare chests exposed, looking around while drinking and playing with money.
Suddenly, they felt the ground shaking slightly, and soon there was a heavy sound of running queues, rumbling from a distance.
Several evil men raised their eyes and saw Kaifeng Prefecture officers and soldiers appearing at the same time from both ends of the street.
A Fanyang hat with a red tassel on top, a handful of scabbards hanging on the waist, and shining spears are so shocking.
Several people dropped the dominoes in their hands and Huo De stood up. Some people hurried in to report, while others tried to stop them.
The capable police officer at the front of the team, not wanting to argue, raised his iron bar, knocked him to the ground, and chained him up.
"Your Majesty Fu Yin has an order to seal off Liuyan Lane and not let anyone go!" The leader, the general magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture, gave the order loudly.
The two teams of officers and soldiers took a few steps at a time and blocked the entire Liuyan Alley.
Immediately afterwards, a group of officials, led by Zhang Tongpan, rushed to the door of the house where a pair of majestic iron lions were placed.
As expected, the house door was closed.
The official immediately knocked on the door knocker: "Open the door! Open the door!"
The sound spread throughout the entire mansion in an instant, making the thirty men in the yard look nervous.
In the main room, there were several leader-looking men sitting or standing. At this moment, they all looked at a middle-aged man sitting at the top on the left. This was the housekeeper of the house and Zhao Zonghan's chief retainer, nicknamed "Ghost".
The shadow of Eucommia ulmoides. Not long ago, Eucommia ulmoides had escaped from his subordinates and learned the news of the failure of the operation. He also asked people to inform Zhao Zonghan who was having fun outside. He had a premonition of danger and had to let the young prince come back and quickly
Come up with countermeasures.
But he didn't expect that the official messengers would arrive so quickly. Zhao Zonghan had already surrounded the house before he came back.
"Officials from Shuntian Prefecture are handling the case, open the door quickly!" I remembered the shouting outside again.
Seeing the panic on the faces of the people, Du Zhong tried to calm down and said: "Why are you panic? Guard the door and let them call. The young master will be back soon!"
At this time, the official outside did not answer his call for a long time. He actually pulled out a horse-hitch stake, carried it up with "one, two, three", and banged the door with "one, two, three". Even though the door was thick and heavy, it was also hit hard.
With a heavy shake, dust fell down in a puff.
"Hurry up and hold it back!" Upon seeing this, Eucommia ulmoides hurriedly ordered someone to hold it up with a pole, and the two sides started wrestling through the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
‘Hey, hey, hey...’ In the alley, the officials were in full swing, and a group of servant-like people came to the entrance of the alley, surrounded by two sedans.
"Stop!" The people guarding the alley blocked the group with their heads: "Shuntian Mansion is on an errand, no idlers are allowed in!"
"Asshole, let's go home." The guard leading the sedan shouted angrily: "You can see whose sedan this is!"
"No matter who you are, even I, the King of Heaven, cannot enter." Du said with a straight face.
"How dare you drive the young prince!" the guard said angrily: "We just entered, let's see what you can do! Get out of the way!" He said and tried to force his way through.
"Come here!" Du shouted, and immediately soldiers gathered and blocked the alley.
"What's going on?" When the curtain of the first sedan was opened, Zhao Zonghan, dressed in rich clothes, got out of it.
They were both born and raised in Bianjing, so Nadu Tou naturally recognized him. He did not dare to neglect him, so he quickly walked over and said in a low voice, "I don't know that the young prince is so powerful, so I will apologize first!"
"What are you doing here?" Zhao Zonghan asked with a slight expression on his face.
"I was ordered to raid a den of thieves." Dutou hesitated and said, "The young prince understands the difficulties of the little people. Let's take a detour somewhere."
"I just want to enter this street, where do you want me to go around?" Zhao Zonghan said coldly.
Everyone was stunned: "May I ask whose house the young prince is going to?"
"How dare you question me?" Zhao Zonghan sneered and raised his leg with a kick: "Get out of the way!"
"Young prince, please forgive me." Nadu took a step back. Not only did he not get kicked, but he almost knocked Zhao Zonghan down: "The villain has his life on his side, so no one can be allowed in."
"I think you are tired of living." Zhao Zonghan stood firm, waved his hand and said: "Come in!"
As soon as his men were done, they screamed and rushed in. The head quickly shouted: "Hold it, hold it!" The organization officials formed a human wall to block Zhao Zonghan's people. They allowed them to punch and kick without taking a step.
Neither wavered.
Just when both inside and outside were in chaos and the scene was in chaos, a thunderous shout sounded: "Stop!" Then Bao Zheng, the governor of Kaifeng and the direct bachelor of Longtuge, appeared surrounded by a group of guards.
In the field.
As soon as Lao Bao appeared in the shadow of the famous tree, the whole audience was stunned.
"Mr. Bao, I'm so polite." Another sedan curtain opened, revealing the figure of Zhao Zongchu, the eighth son of Zhao Yun. He sang to Bao Zheng and said, "I think there must be some misunderstanding here. Please move away."
Official, let's go into the house and talk in detail."
"Haha, it turns out they are Lao Ba and Xiao Liu from the Wang family in Runan." Bao Zheng did not return the gift, but just smiled and said with a kind face: "It's already past this time, why don't you go home for dinner? What are you doing here?
?”
Well, in his eyes, our relationship is like nothing. Zhao Zongchu rolled his eyes at the criticism, but he couldn't refute, because Lao Bao's age and qualifications were enough to rely on him and sell him in front of them. Secondly, Bao Zheng
They were still the generals who advocated the establishment of a heir apparent, and the two of them did not dare to ruin the family's great cause.
"That is Zhao Zonghan's home," Zhao Zongchu could only accompany him and said cautiously: "Gong Bao, please give me face and withdraw your troops."
"Hmm..." Bao Zheng twirled his beard, glanced at him and said, "Who do you want to give face to?"
"Give it to me..." Zhao Zongchu thought to himself, guessing that I didn't have enough weight, so he had to change his words: "My father, and my thirteenth brother."
"Well, the Prince of Runan County is quite honorable. For many years, he has been honest, honest, self-restrained and respectful. He can be said to be a role model for the clan." Bao Zheng nodded and said, "It should be given."
"Then, withdraw the troops." Zhao Zongchu Xiyi said.
"Nonsense. You kid is so clueless." Bao Zheng shook his head and said, "That's why we need to investigate carefully!" He said with a smile: "I believe that the children taught by King Runan will be fine.
The government has found out and cleared you up, which will also save the prince's reputation." He said with a 'I do it for your own good' look: "Otherwise, it is inevitable that some people will make irresponsible remarks, and I will really feel sorry for the prince."
"You..." Zhao Zonghan finally couldn't hold it in anymore and said angrily: "Old Bao, don't go too far. Even if you are the governor of Kaifeng, you need the consent of Zongzheng Temple to search the clan's mansion! Have you asked my father?
?”
"Haha..." Bao Zheng still smiled kindly and said: "First of all, the owner of this house is called Du Zhong, and he is a medicinal materials merchant. I have never heard of any relatives of the emperor named Du. Naturally, I couldn't talk to Xiang in advance.
Zongzhengji applies for it. Secondly, if you say that the house is yours, then show us the evidence. You show the house deed, and I will apply immediately."
When Zhao Zonghan asked Eucommia to buy real estate in his name, he could not only enjoy the privileges of the prince's mansion, but also be able to hide his eyes from others. He was so happy that he couldn't help himself. Who would have thought that when he met a serious official like Bao Zheng, he was immediately blinded. He was so angry that his cheeks
With a bang, he pointed inside and said, "You can ask Eucommia ulmoides who owns this house."
"You ask him to open the door first." Bao Zheng nodded.
"Ask through the door."
"Who knows if he is Eucommia ulmoides..." This is the difference between a good official and an honest official. Not only must he be honest, but he must also be cunning enough.
"..." Zhao Zonghan almost went crazy, nodded heavily and said: "Okay, open the door, but what if it turns out that this is my residence?"
"Of course we regard it as the clan's real estate." Bao Zheng said slowly: "If we don't catch the current situation, we won't conduct a search without the approval of Zongzheng Temple."
"Okay." Zhao Zonghan sneered and said, "Get out of the way, I'll call the door!"
"Let him in!" Bao Zheng waved his hand, and the officials of Kaifeng Mansion moved to both sides to avoid him.
"Ucommia ulmoides, open the door!" Zhao Zonghan came to the door of the house, patted the shaky door hard and said, "I'm back."
There were cheers from inside, people removed the poles on the door, and then the door collapsed.
"Master Bao, my door..." Although Zhao Zonghan was not injured, he was left disgraced.
"Kaifeng Mansion will repair it for you." Bao Zheng said calmly.
At this time, Eucommia ulmoides rushed over, nodded lightly to Zhao Zonghan, and then saluted: "Master."
"Did you hear that?" Zhao Zonghan looked at Bao Zheng and said, "Can your mansion leave?"
"Haha..." Bao Zheng twisted his beard and smiled, his eyes shining brightly as he said, "That's not necessarily the case."
Before he finished speaking, a group of official officers with mud on their bodies and faces walked out from the hanging flower door in the backyard.
"How did you get in?" Zhao Zonghan was immediately horrified.
"For the record, Mr. Fu Yin, we were ordered to squat underground and indeed intercepted thirty-two unidentified criminals. Then we followed the clues and came to this house!" the leading official said with his fists in hand.
"Search!" Bao Zheng waved his hand. A large group of people took the opportunity to pour in from the gate and took control of the entire house in a blink of an eye.
Eucommia was tied up, and although Zhao Zonghan was not tied up, he was guarded by four officials.
Only Zhao Zongchu was still free. He bravely approached Bao Zheng, pulled his sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Bao Gong, please give my father and thirteenth brother some face."
"Have you given me face?" Bao Zheng flicked his sleeves, shook off his hand, and said with cold eyes: "Have you given me face?"
