Liu Yanei was worried and happy, hated and anxious when he heard it: the worry was that his son-in-law had been convicted; Fortunately, thanks to the early news, the situation can still be recovered; hate, the hungry people stir up; In a hurry, time is in a hurry, and there is no time to delay. He believed that he was favored by the emperor, so he entered the palace overnight to see the driver and spoke flatteringly in front of the emperor. The emperor listened to his slander and issued a holy decree: "The living will forgive sins, but the dead will not be forgiven." In this way, Liu Yanei's wish can be fully achieved, which can not only save his son-in-law, but also Zhenya can make a rebellion of hungry people. Liu Yanei went to Chenzhou in person with the holy decree and read it out in front of Bao Zheng. Bao Zheng asked on the spot: "Where are the two officials?" The officers replied, "He is dead." Bao Zheng asked again: "Where is the leader of the hungry people?" The officers replied, "In prison." Bao Zheng pronounced the verdict: "According to the holy decree, the two corrupt officials should be executed, and their crimes are not allowed to be pardoned; Li Daring's son, avenging his father is a righteous act and should be released. This sentence made Liu Yanei faint on the spot. Since then, I have been ill for a long time.

After dealing with this case, Bao Zheng cooked rice according to the law in Chenzhou to rescue the starving people from the dire situation; We should rectify the rule of officials and restore social stability and stability. Saying that, An Xiangfei raised his head to the moon, and then turned around, his eyes glared at Bao Zheng in the film and television drama, which made me laugh, and even Mu Xiu couldn't help but applaud.

"Thank you, thank you" An Xiangfei was not modest. It made me feel a pang of contempt.

"What else is the story, let's talk about it." Mu Xiu said lightly.

An Xiangfei scratched his head for a long time and said to Mu Xiu: "Why don't you tell one, you must know that you cherish words like gold, we really rarely listen to you tell a story once, and this is conducive to the internal unity of Captain Jin, do you say that I am happy,"

"Yes, yes," I nodded in agreement.

I saw that Mu Xiu pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Then I'll talk about one." ”

"It is said that Bao Gong is an iron-faced and selfless clean official, and he really makes the prince guilty of breaking the law and the people. That year, Lao Bao took Chen Shimei, a concubine who did not recognize his ex-wife, and the emperor held a grudge, so he used an excuse to cut Bao Gong to the people. In this way, the emperor still does not understand his hatred. On the same day, the emperor summoned the big eunuch and the little eunuch to the palace, and bit his ears and planned for a while. In the end, the two eunuchs said this to the emperor, and the emperor nodded and smiled, and did what he ordered, and the success was greatly rewarded.

Bao Gong cut his job, and the big and small shops in the capital were instructed by the royal family not to stay overnight; Bao Gong had no choice but to pack up and leave for home that day. Bao Gong is an upright official, and now he has a clean breeze on his sleeves, and he can't afford to hire a car or horse, so his old family Bao Xing carries the luggage and follows behind. But he didn't expect the eunuch to follow behind.

It was a summer day in June. As soon as Bao Gong left the capital, he didn't go far on the road, and he was sweating. After walking for a long time, I sweated a few buckets. At this time, he walked to the bottom of a mountain, and Bao Gong was so hot that he was so thirsty. However, there is no village in front of it, there is no shop in the back, there is no pond, there is no well, only a melon field. Yellow flowers bloom on the green melon vines, and the watermelons are round. Bao Gong smacked his lips, and there was no one around, so in order to quench his thirst, he picked a watermelon, put it on his knees, smashed it with his fist twice, and ate it with his old family. They ate two large melons in one go. The two ghost-like eunuchs had already seen it, and the big eunuch said to the little eunuch:

"The ancient gentleman is 'the melon field is not acceptable, and the plum is not the crown', the old bag eats the melon, can it still be regarded as a clean official? Arrest him and go to the emperor. ”

Just about to do it. saw Bao Gong take out a few copper coins, put them on the melon vine, wiped his mouth and went on the road. The two eunuchs waved their hands helplessly:

"Eat melons and give money, what do you say?"

In the evening, Bao Gong stayed in a small inn in the town, and the two eunuchs also stared at him. Bao Gong didn't have much money, so he asked for Solai rice. How do you know that this inn is small, the rice is not clean, and the bowl is full of rice, so Bao Gong has to pick it while eating, and the table is full of grains. This made the two eunuchs look at it again, and the little eunuch said to the big eunuch:

"The food was struck by thunder, and he was arrested, so that he could be angry for the emperor."

As he was talking, he saw Bao Gong grab the grains, put them in his mouth one by one, suck off the rice husks, and ate the rice grains, which was really "a meal on a plate, not a grain is wasted". What do you have to say, you can't pick out the bones in the eggs, the big eunuch and the little eunuch have to stare at each other with big eyes.

Walking and walking, seeing that when I walked to the edge of the Huai River, Bao Gong was about to arrive home, and the two eunuchs had not yet caught Bao Gong's handle, how could they give an errand to the emperor? So, they muttered and discussed a plan: the big and small eunuchs rushed to the front of Bao Gong from the path overnight, sat and waited on the edge of the Huai River, and when Bao Gong arrived, they pulled their legs and pushed their backs to push Bao Gong to a pile of dirty things. They thought that in this way, Bao Gongzhun would go to the Huai River to wash his hands, and some people in the Huai River would wash rice and vegetables, so he would be accused of soiling the river water. That's a really bad idea.

After Bao Gong's hands were dirty, he sighed and got up, and was thinking of washing in the river, when he glanced at the little daughter-in-law and the eldest girl by the river, washing the vegetables, and carrying water. He was stunned, thinking, doesn't this hand washing spoil people's drinking water? So, Bao Gong walked to the river, scooped water into his mouth with his clean left hand, and then left the water's edge and went to the slope to spit out the water to rinse. The two eunuchs watched, and there was nothing they could do. thought to himself, Lao Bao is really a peerless iron Qing official in the world, and if he follows him, he can't find his problem. I had to go back to restore the emperor's order in despair.

As soon as the news came out, the common people said,

Poison is not the emperor,

But the eunuch can't be adulterous,

I can't clear Bao Gong. ”

Speaking of this, I thought that this story was over, but I didn't know that Mu Xiu coughed his throat and then said: "I mentioned above that Bao Zheng is a clean official, do you know why?" ”

"How can it be meaningful, isn't this a folk tale of Bao Zheng?" An Xiangfei said disdainfully.

"What do you say?" When Mu Xiu heard An Xiangfei say this, he turned back to me and asked, his face was very resolute and indifferent in the moonlight. At that moment, I seemed to be a little distracted, and the former curtain repair appeared in my mind, which was so cold and charismatic.

"Liangxi, why are you in a daze?" And don't hear An Xiangfei's voice, I came back to my senses.

"Oh, doesn't it mean that Bao Zheng is a clean official." I blinked, stared at Makushu and said. How do you know that Mu Xiu smiled when he heard this: "You are all wrong, have you heard the story of Bao Zheng's 'day trial of yang, night trial of yin'?" ”

"Hey, isn't that just a myth, is it still true?" An Xiangfei said suspiciously.

Mu Xiu smiled and shook his head, looked up at the moon, and then said: "According to legend, because Bao Zheng was honest and honest, he was named the Son of Heaven after his death. ”
