The news that Zhao Zonghan's foreign residence was raided suddenly shocked the capital, and the first one to bear the brunt was the Runan Palace.[.51.]
"Okay, okay..." Zhao Yunrang, the king of Runan County, stared at Zhao Zongchu who came to report the news with burning eyes. When he said these two words 'good', the corners of his mouth trembled, and his head and beard also trembled, showing that he was an old man. Symptoms of a stroke...
The sons, who originally had angry faces, looked panicked when they saw their father like this. Zhao Zongyi and Zhao Zongfu hurried over, supported him and stroked his back: "Father, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, you must be careful Take care..."
"I can't die..." Zhao Yunrang slowly stopped trembling, but still stared at Zhao Zongchu, as if he wanted to eat him, and hissed: "Yesterday, I asked the fourth child to go and warn you not to act rashly. Didn't you hear?" When the gourd was pressed and the ladle floated up, the old man became more and more cruel to himself. Why did he cause so much trouble?
"I heard it..." Zhao Zongchu lowered his head and whispered.
"Then you still dare!" Zhao Yunrang slapped several cases, like an angry old lion, roaring: "How dare you!"
"Dad, I am obedient," Zhao Zongchu said aggrievedly: "Actually, Shiliu didn't dare to mess around. It was the troublemakers under him who were so bold that they watched for more than ten days and finally saw the opportunity, so they killed him first and played later."
"I have said before that if you deal with those troublemakers all day long, one day you will be harmed by them!" Laojiu Zhao Zongyu is a guy who values family status. He dislikes these two brothers the most, hanging out with low-level troublemakers. He said sarcastically: "How about it, I'll tell you what!"
"Shut up!" Zhao Yunrang gave him a cold look and said, "No matter what, it's better than spending all day in a brothel!"
Zhao Zongyu felt bored, shrank his head and stopped talking.
"Alas..." Zhao Yunrang sighed and said, "I have many children, many grandchildren, and many enemies. The ancients will never deceive me."
"Father, what happened has already happened. It's useless to talk about it anymore. Let's sum it up and figure out how to get past this hurdle." Zhao Zongyi said softly.
"Yes, father." Zhao Zongfu also chimed in: "Fortunately, the palace door is locked. Bao Zheng can report to the official family at the earliest tomorrow morning. There is still one night, and anything can happen."
"Well." Zhao Yunrang cheered up and said slowly: "Fourth, what do you think?"
"This is the emperor's feet. There is such a big commotion. It is impossible to completely cover it up. We can only find a way to pick out the sixteenth." Zhao Zongfu is resourceful and is Zhao Yunrang's trusted think tank. He looked at his father and said: "There are three One way is to let the Criminal Department take over the case. Wang Su, who is in charge of the Criminal Department now, is one of ours. As long as the case is in his hands, everything will be easy to handle."
Zhao Yunrang nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"Furthermore, please intercede with Fan Zhen and Tang Jie. They have always been on good terms with Bao Zheng." Zhao Zongfu looked at Zhao Zongshi, whose face was ashen as water, and said, "Although they are both well-known straight ministers, they are now the most What I am obsessed with is the matter of establishing a reserve. Seeing that the overall situation has been decided, how can we create extraneous branches? I think, considering the overall situation, they will help this."
"The third step is to ask Mr. Han for help. This will definitely bring immediate results..." Zhao Zongfu lowered his voice and said, "I just want to get on the line with him, because I'm afraid he will dominate me in the future." It seems that Han Qi's strength is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Na!
"That's not necessarily the case." Zhao Yunrang sneered: "I'll go meet him in person. It's still unclear who will lead who!"

After checking Zhao Zonghan's outer house, it was already dark.
"The military crossbows are twenty feet long, and the arrows are one hundred pots; fifty Miao knives, Mo knives and other types of knives; ten spears; all kinds of drugs and poisons, countless." Bao Zheng was sitting at the signing ceremony in Kaifeng Mansion.
In the room, the secretary listened to the list of things he had checked: "Five rosters of the Beggar Clan, five account books..."
"It's sensational, it's sensational!" Bao Zheng's smile disappeared and he was as black as the bottom of a pot. "As a prince of the Song Dynasty, under the feet of the emperor, he harbors bad guys, reserves weapons, and colludes with bandits. What is he doing? What is he doing?
?!"
Chen Ke sat at the bottom with a silent expression on his face, but his mood was completely opposite... This time, not only was Zhao Zonghan enough to drink a pot, but even Zhao Yunrang was unable to eat and walked around. The official family, the official family, this time the old man has been beaten.
, placed in front of you, if you don’t kick it now, when will you wait?
What he is looking forward to now is to quickly put this list in front of the officials at dawn... Unfortunately, it is not him who makes the decision, but Lao Bao opposite.
"Tell the two officials from the left and right halls that we will handle the case together tonight and conduct a sudden trial overnight. We must obtain everyone's confessions before dawn." After sighing, Bao Zheng said in a deep voice: "Except Zhao Zonghan, everyone else can be punished!
"
"Yes." The secretary in charge agreed and quickly went out to deliver the order.
"I have no sleep tonight." Bao Zheng took a long breath, like a boxer about to go on stage. He looked at Chen Ke and smiled: "Zhong Fang, are you willing to play chess with me to pass this long night?"
"What an honor." Chen Ke was slightly surprised and thought to himself, I'm not from your Kaifeng Mansion, why don't you let me go home?
"Okay, let's eat first." Bao Zheng said with a smile, "Don't think my food is rough."
“It’s better to have a simple dinner.”
Bao Zheng's family member, Bao Mian, brought in a small dining table and set out two rice porridge, pancakes and several dishes of side dishes. There was also a plate of sauce next to the pancakes.
"This is the miso from my hometown. It has a strong taste and you may not be used to it." Bao Zheng told Bao Mian, "Bring the jar of Beixian Douban given by the government during the Chinese New Year."
"No need, that's the sauce from my hometown. I won't feel anything after eating it all day long, so let's change the taste." Chen Ke said with a smile.
"That's fine." Bao Zheng smiled and nodded, teaching Chen Ke to wrap the vegetables with pancakes, dip them in the sauce, and then take a big bite. This way of eating, which is full of rough meaning, is not like eating without getting tired of finesse or cooking with finesse.
The Bianjing City is probably only found in the northern countryside.
However, Chen Ke enjoyed the meal very much, not because the pancake dipping sauce was delicious, but because of the heroic feeling that made him feel very comfortable.
Seeing that he was used to eating, Bao Zheng no longer cared about him, rolled up pancakes himself, chewed them, and then drank porridge in a slurping manner. The meal shook the earth.
After a while, two pancakes and a large bowl of porridge were eaten. Bao Zheng patted his belly and said, "You are full! Eat slowly."
Chen Ke had almost finished eating. He was holding the porridge and then said: "Long Tu, you allow them to torture, are you not afraid of being beaten?"
"You will know when you become a local official in the future." Bao Zheng said slowly: "What does it mean to be a scoundrel? He has a hard mouth but a soft back, but a dark heart and hard ears. No matter how much you intimidate or induce, and you exhaust your words, you will never be able to tell the truth...
...But once they hit them, they were all gone." He said calmly: "Of course, another reason is that time is too tight, and it is estimated that they can only stay in the Kaifeng Mansion prison for one night."
"Then what?"
"I will probably be taken to the prison of the Ministry of Justice." Bao Zheng smiled and said: "I have been in this officialdom for decades, and I have long been accustomed to strange things. But tonight, you can open your eyes."
"Open your eyes?" Chen Ke said softly.
"Play chess, play chess." Bao Zheng asked Bao Mian to remove the tableware, remove the table, and put the chess board on it. When Chen Ke saw it, it was not Go, but chess.
"I don't want to play Go." Bao Zheng explained: "You don't have enough calculations on weekdays, so you still have to calculate on the chessboard? You are in me, and I am in you. It is lingering and dripping, and it is not pleasant!
"
"It's better to do this. Arrange your troops and go straight, man." He said while playing the chess piece, "You know how to play, right?"
"It's okay." Chen Ke couldn't help but smile bitterly. When did chess and go become male and female?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After guessing first, Bao Zheng started off by saying, "The reason why they kidnapped Liu Lang seems to be exactly the same as when they assassinated you."
"They insist on saying that I took the hundreds of thousands of dollars." Chen Ke jumped the horse without thinking: "I can't help it."
"It's not that I don't believe you." Bao Zheng said: "It's just that when this case is submitted, the officials will definitely ask whether you have the three hundred thousand yuan in your hands!"
"No, they are crazy about money." Chen Ke got out of the car and said flatly.
"It's better if you're not here," Bao Zhenggong said: "Next spring, Sanlang will definitely go to high school. With your ability, you will be able to rise to prominence within a few years. Although I have been sidelined in the officialdom for decades, I am too clumsy as an official.
I have nothing to teach you."
"Long Tu is too modest," Chen Keti said, "You can teach me so much."
"I only want to teach you one thing, that is, to be sincere, the emperor of the Song Dynasty is more tolerant than the previous generation." Bao Zheng said slowly: "It doesn't matter if you live a luxurious life or have a bad temper, but the official family will not tolerate it the most.
The word "bullying" is used. Once you bully the emperor, you will never gain the trust of the officials again in your life." He sighed and said: "Back then, Mr. Wen just secretly gave gifts to Queen Wen Cheng, and he was labeled a "bullying" by the officials.
The brand of 'You Duosi' directly caused him to lose his position again. You are the hope of the future of the Song Dynasty, you can't lose your integrity!"
"Students, please remember." Chen Ke knew that Bao Zheng actually still doubted him, but there was no evidence. These words were half a slap in the face and half a warning, but after all they were the old man's wise words. He had to keep them in mind before he could
I owe him a sincere heart.
But Zhao Zongji needed this money, and he also needed this money, so he had no choice but to make an exception.
In fact, although Chen Ke's guess was not correct, it was not far off. The Runan Palace took successive actions against Chen Ke, which made Bao Zheng have to suspect that the money fell into the hands of this kid.
But despite his various investigations, the dead big dragon head was extremely thoughtful and left almost no traces of his work. In addition, he experienced a flood in the middle, and no evidence could be found to prove that the money fell into Chen Ke's hands.
Besides, Bao Zheng is very talented, so I would rather believe that he is just doing some beatings this time.
