Chapter Thirty-Nine: Looks Like

Lord Wang and his dozen or so entourages came to the county office under the leadership of Lord Chen, and Lord Wang said to Lord Chen: "These people under my command, please send someone to Yicheng and arrange accommodation first." Pens, fun, and pavilions www.biquge.info don't bother too much, just make do with a night's sleep. ”

When Lord Chen heard this, he dared to love him for only staying for one night and going back, it was really not easy to cultivate much affection with him. However, he did it very carefully for the things that Lord Wang explained. Immediately let Menzi take a group of people to the post station.

Lord Wang glanced around at the county government and was very satisfied when he saw that everything was clean. said: "Lord Chen, please call Chai Baochen, let's go to the cell together and see the group of bandits." ”

Lord Chen was stunned for a while, this Lord Wang won't go to work without eating. He didn't want to ask Lord Wang how many days he would stay on this trip, so he asked in a roundabout way: "What, Lord Wang has been tired all the way, why don't you take a break first?" Xia Guan has already prepared a reception wine, so it's not too late for us to see the robbers tomorrow. ”

Lord Wang frowned slightly, he didn't like to be polite, and said: "No need, do things first, after I go back to the post station to eat a little more, I will rest early, and go back early tomorrow morning." Is Chai Baochen here? ”

Lord Chen saw that Lord Wang was an impatient, so he was not reluctant, this kind of person is not the same way as himself, and it is difficult to make friends. But when he first arrived at the county government, he had already mentioned Chai Baochen's name twice, which shows that he cherishes talents very much.

Lord Chen hurriedly sent someone to the duty room to call Chai Baochen over. Chai Baochen soon came over, and he saw a powerful official standing beside Lord Chen from a distance, and his temperament made people feel majestic and not offensive. After approaching, Chai Baochen saluted Lord Wang and Lord Chen one by one, and then raised his head.

Chai Baochen looked at Lord Wang, it didn't matter, he almost opened his mouth and shouted, "Dad!" "This person is extremely similar to Chai Baochen's father in the later life, it is simply carved out of a mold! What's going on? Could it be that my father also crossed over, and he also became a great official? No, he is just a small trader of fireworks and firecrackers, how can he become the military minister of a province! Maybe there are no surprises in the world, and the similarity is just a coincidence?

Chai Baochen raised his head from his contemplation, and he suddenly found that Lord Wang was also looking at him.

It was still Lord Wang's straightforward personality and took the lead in asking: "Are you the Chai Baochen who eliminated the giant thief and uncle?" ”

"Yes, sir." Chai Baochen had a thousand words to ask the other party at this time, but he didn't know where to start. He felt that the things in front of him were very strange, but to say that the world is so big, there is nothing strange about someone who looks like his father, he remembered that in later life, he saw a girl who sold fast food on the news and became popular on the Internet because she looked like Wang Baoqiang.

Chai Baochen wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, Lord Chen intercepted the words, "Oh, look at your talent, you are really a pillar of the country, very good." Tell me, what books do you usually read? ”

Chai Baochen was speechless for a while, he really didn't read any books, but just practiced martial arts with Master Yunlin. However, he still knows the Four Books and Five Classics, but he doesn't dare to bring them up, in case he is asked about the essence of Confucianism in front of him, these are really difficult to answer.

Lord Chen was stunned when he saw Chai Baochen, and replied from the side: "My lord, Chai Baochen is not from Taishan County, he was moved from Xi'an Mansion, the political envoy of Shaanxi Chengxuan, and he has a reputation for showing talent. Erudite and often surprisingly speakable. Lord Chen can only say this, but he still praises Chai Baochen as a flower.

"Very well, you are about the same age as my son, and you don't have any squirrel. My son is far from it, he knows how to have fun, and he causes me trouble all day long. Lord Wang looked at Chai Baochen and said, "Okay, let's not talk about it in advance, let's go to the cell and see those bandits." ”

Master Chen said "please" and led the way in front. After entering the cell, Lord Chen first came to the prison where Uncle was being held, only to see Uncle lying on a rotten straw mat near the corner, covered in bloodstains. It is estimated that my uncle's life will not be better in a few days, and he may die in prison tonight.

When Lord Wang saw Uncle Wang's virtue, he said to Lord Chen: "He is very seriously injured!" ”

"Back to my lord, my uncle and thief are very seriously injured and extremely difficult to heal, and the little one doesn't want to ask Lang Zhong to treat him anymore." When Lord Chen heard Lord Wang ask about his uncle's injury, he seemed to be reproachful, so he answered cautiously.

"Well, this kind of person deserves to die. But just let him die like this, it's a little cheaper for him. The reason why the bandit problem is serious is not only because of this bandit leader, but because there are many people who take risks, and they are not afraid of the government, so we have to make an example of everyone. Tomorrow you will have the jailer parade him through the streets to make an example! Lord Wang said.

"You also saw that this uncle and thief are dying, that is, in the past two days. But what if you die while parading through the streets? "Lord Chen wants to put the responsibility aside. You must know that in the Ming Dynasty, if a criminal died while parading through the streets, the officials would be implicated.

"I want him to die, so that the people can vent all the anger that has been suppressed in their hearts for the past few years, and if they don't do this, it is not enough for the people to be angry! This is what Uncle deserves. Lord Wang said sonorously.

"The subordinate obeys!" Master Chen replied.

"Let's go, don't look at it." Lord Wang walked out of the prison and came to the yamen duty room, just walked into the door, looked into the duty room, and saw that the official documents were placed on the file shelf, one grid and one grid were very neat, and according to the order of the important links of the Ming law, a cadre and other offices were in order, he stroked his beard, was very satisfied, and coughed lightly. The other scribes were working on their offices, and when they heard the cough, they turned their heads and saw that two adults had entered, and they all stood up to greet them.

Lord Wang's hands pressed downwards and said, "You don't have to be polite, continue to be on errands." He turned his head and walked out of the duty room and asked Master Chen, "I wonder if it is convenient to go to your inner hall to talk now?" ”

When Lord Chen heard this, he knew that Lord Wang was going to ask about some official matters, so he hurriedly said, "Please." "Take Lord Wang and Chai Baochen into the inner hall study. After entering the study, he gave up his upper seat to Lord Wang, and sat on the master's seat close to Lord Wang, and Chai Baochen sat facing west. A few officials were at the door.

At the beginning, Lord Chen and Lord Wang exchanged a few words. Then, Lord Wang's gaze turned to Chai Baochen's body.
