Bao Zheng sent Queen Cao away, and knew that he had completely offended the queen, not only was it as simple as offending, but he even had a grudge.

Bao Zheng didn't seem to care about this, and the first thing he did when he returned to the government was to order someone to sort out the records.

Gan Qi, who injured his left hand, also stayed in Kaifeng Mansion and helped Bao Zheng to fight.

Because of Bao Zheng's main assistant, he has now been demoted to the northwest border, that is, the former pusher.

The new promoter has not yet arrived, and Bao Zheng has already written several times to the dignitary, but the officials under Shangshu have not yet sent the new magistrate.

Gan Qi temporarily helped to do some errands for officials, sorted out records, checked files, and even questioned Liu Shizhen's classmates, but Gan Qi did not go to prison to interrogate the criminals in Caofu.

Bao Zheng once again delivered the official document to the officials. In fact, now, the entire Bianliang City knows that there is a big case to be investigated in Kaifeng Mansion, and the two gangs of people are fighting on the street and chasing and killing them, which has long been rumored.

The idea of the Cao family to keep face is just the emperor's new clothes, and things are so troubled that they can still cover it?

Even Su Zhe, who had to prepare for the exam at home, could hear the neighbors talk about it, let alone Su Shi, who was running around.

At first, when Su Shi heard people in the building, he thought he had heard it wrong, because Gan Qi was too familiar with him, killing people on the street?

Su Shi couldn't believe it, even though Su Shi knew that Gan Qi usually practiced some martial arts, Su Shi still couldn't imagine Gan Qi killing people on the street, let alone Gan Qi actually cut off Cao Jiaguo's uncle's arm.

Although the matter is spreading, but the statements are different, no one can really clearly explain the origin of the matter, until the Yuelai Inn lived in a group of Hangzhou lifters came back from Kaifeng Mansion, the origin of the matter slowly became clear.

After the Su brothers met, they went out to inquire about the situation together, but they also knew that this matter had something to do with Hangzhou Juzi, so the brothers went to the Yuelai Inn.

Yuelai Inn has long been crowded, and there are countless people who come from all over the place to explore news and listen to stories.

After the brothers heard the real truth, they looked at each other a few times, and Su Shi opened his mouth and sighed: "Brother Gan, Brother Gan, you really have the courage, you are so brave and brave, you really have the style of a gentleman in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the spirit of a Tang ranger." The Great Song Dynasty has been around for a hundred years, and there has never been such a character. ”

Su Zhe admired a word: "Taibai has poetry, kill one person in ten steps, don't stay for thousands of miles, go to the clothes when it's over, and hide his body and name." Yuan Dao is talking about such a character, and when he sees injustice, he draws a knife to help. ”

Su Shi shook his head again: "I don't know when it started, the literati of the scholar clan are no longer worthy of the sword." Today, Brother Gan is a gentleman of the ancients. ”

Obviously, the version of the story that Su Zhe and Su Shi brothers heard was still a little different from the facts, and it was also because Gan Qi and Bao Zheng didn't really tell the truth, Gan Qi only said that he went into the city early in the morning to buy, and happened to run into it. The same is true of the version of the story that is now passed down at the Yuelai Inn.

Su Zhe heard himself Su Shi say this, and said: "Big brother, why don't we build a gentleman's sword together and give it to Brother Gan?" ”

Su Shi thought for a moment when he heard this, and replied: "Since you and I are friends with Brother Gan, then we will fight with three swords, and in the future, the three of them will wear swords, and they will be different from all the literati in this world." ”

"Okay, the eldest brother said well, from Zhou Li onwards, the gentleman should walk with a sword, even the Tang people splashed ink, and the sword did not leave the body, why can't we follow suit? Go, big brother, forge the sword. Su Zhe said excitedly.

Young and hot-blooded, nothing more than that. What could compare to the passionate passion of young people?

The two brothers listened to Gan Qilu's injustice and drew their swords to help, guarding the morality of the world with their lives, and their blood was already boiling.

In the blacksmith shop, the two brothers spent a lot of money, and the blacksmith put aside everything and forged swords for them first.

The two of them watched the blacksmith's muscles bulging and wielding the hammer, and sparks flying, and their hearts were also excited.

"When the sword is completed, you and my brother and Brother Gan are qualified to be friends." Su Shi said.

"Well, Jiancheng, we are qualified to go to Kaifeng Mansion to find Brother Gan." Su Zhe continued.

As Su Zhe said, the scholar clan is the class that can read. In the history of China, it has never been a person who is powerless.

In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, scholars rode horses into battle, and for the sake of being handsome, it was not a problem to kill the enemy with their own hands. In the Han Dynasty, the scholar with a sword in the upper hall was the highest courtesy given by the king to his courtiers. Even if it comes to the Tang Dynasty, which of Li Bai and Du Fu's generations is not worthy of a sword? Even though the sword had become an ornament for scholars at that time, it still represented the trend and temperament of the whole society.

When I arrived in the Song Dynasty, I no longer saw a scholar walking with a sword.

It's a slightly pathetic step backwards.

Bianliang City, maybe from now on, there will be three musketeers in the literary world. Whether the sword can kill or not is secondary, which represents the temperament of an era.

Bao Zheng sat in the class room for a whole day, looking at the various documents and files sent around, sorting out the chain of evidence, and rehearsing the details and process of the trial in his mind.

From time to time, Gan Qi helped Bao Zheng sort out the things piled up on the table.

Since it was almost night, a young man hurriedly rushed in at the door, dusty, bowed at the door, and said: "Xiaguan Sima Guang, come to take office, meet Bao Beizhi." ”

Bao Zheng glanced up and said with a smile: "Junshi, you have finally arrived?" ”

Gan Qi heard this name, and he had already raised his head to look at this young man, twenty-seven or eighteen years old, slightly thin, with slightly prominent cheekbones on his face, Sima Guang, this person is Sima Guang?

Gan Qi couldn't help but think about Sima Guang in his impression, Sima Guang's most famous thing is nothing more than "smashing the cylinder", which is really known to future generations. In fact, Sima Guang is far more than these deeds, this person compiled China's first chronicle of the general history of the masterpiece "Zizhi Tongjian", and its status in the history book is probably second only to the "Historical Records". As for politics, in fact, he has made many achievements, but the most famous in politics is the dispute between him and Wang Anshi.

"Xiaguan came from Bingzhou, all the way to hurry up, just entered Beijing, I thought that after taking up the new post, there were still a few days of leisure, how do I know that the officials of the Ministry of Officials urged the officials to come to the duty as soon as they met, saying that Kaifeng Mansion has a big case busy, and he can't slack off, so Xiaguan will go directly to Kaifeng Mansion to report." Sima Guang replied. Obviously, Sima Guang and Bao Zheng knew each other before, because Bao Zheng also served as a transit envoy in Hebei, at that time Sima Guang was serving as a general judge in Yunzhou, and Sima Guang was transferred to the capital to serve in Kaifeng Mansion, and perhaps Bao Zheng also contributed to it.

Sima Guang was supposed to come to Kaifeng Mansion next year to serve as an official, and Wang Anshi also entered Beijing as an official next year. However, because of Gan Qi's last Gan Gou'er case, the original magistrate left early, and Sima Guang also entered Beijing ahead of schedule.

"Okay, it's just right to come, Dao Jian's hand injury is inconvenient, you come to help this government sort out the file, you must sort it out today, and tomorrow afternoon, the court will open for trial." Bao Zheng, this is a soldier and a god.

Sima Guang looked at Gan Qi and first saluted: "Sima Guang is polite." ”

Gan Qi also returned a salute: "Gan Qi is polite. ”

Sima Guang heard Gan Qi's name, thought about it slightly, seemed to feel familiar, and didn't seem to think of it, but just bowed his hand again. Then Sima Guang went to Bao Zheng's side and began to sort out the files.
