Wang next to himself locked himself in the room, he leaned on the head of the bed, quietly thinking about what had happened in the past few years, from inexplicably coming to the Northern Song Dynasty, he became a household name in a daze, he was a Confucian merchant, fighting for temples, arriving in Western Xia, fighting Japanese slaves, all of this is nothing more than a phantom, in the end, he is still an ordinary person, he still doesn't like killing, war,

Maybe his greatest wish is to live an ordinary life quietly with the moon, and even happier than ordinary people, because he can make a lot of money, maybe he also has a luxury, that is, to solve the mystery of the past and the present, and he can cross time and space, but now that the moon is gone, he hasn't even seen the last side of the moon.

During this time, Wang Pan felt that he was completely out of proportion in doing things, he didn't even know what he should do, as if he had been unwilling to face reality, and today the mystery was finally revealed; Everything he didn't want to see turned out to be true, no matter what the moon was burned into, he always had to see the moon; Now that he has returned, he must pay homage to his father-in-law Bao Zheng; also to visit parents; These things must be done,

Wang next to him seemed to be asleep, vaguely seemed to feel the moon coming to him, covering him with a quilt, Wang next to the hand to grab the moon, and shouted in his mouth: "Under the moon, are you back?" ”

In the haze, the king heard someone speak: "Second son, it's very cold in the house, you are careful of the wind chill when you fall asleep like this." Wang Jian heard Rou'er's voice, Yuexia never called himself the second son, Wang Jian opened his eyes and saw that Rou'er was looking at himself nervously: "The eldest prince and King Ying are here, and they are waiting for you in the front hall." ”

When Wang walked outside the hall door, he heard several people talking inside, and among them heard the voice of his brother Yuan Ze: "I knew that my brother would definitely come back." There was a bit of excitement in his voice,

Wang pushed open the door and was stunned, there were several people sitting in the hall, the first thing he saw was Zhao Zhongzhen, Zhao Zhongzhen sat in the first place, he hadn't seen Zhongzhen for more than a year, he had a purple robe and jade belt, and there were more aristocratic spirits, and there were two standing behind Zhongzhen, it was Zhi Kejun and Zhang Ping; Yuan Ze sat opposite Zhong Zhen, Yuan Ze was still followed by Liu Qi, he hadn't seen him for more than a year, and Liu Qi had grown up.

Seeing these people here, Wang couldn't help but feel hot, and then looked at the room There were more than these people, there was a person sitting next to Yuan Ze, who looked like he was about forty years old, although this person didn't know Wang next to him, but Lou Qing was standing behind that person, Lou Qing was Prime Minister Bao's guard, this person's identity seems to be self-evident, it should be an official of Kaifeng Mansion,

There was also a person sitting next to Zhong Zhen, this person was forty or fifty years old, he looked a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while, except for these people talking, Lu Shenyan was instructing the family to add charcoal fire to the stove in the hall,

Suddenly, so many people appeared in front of him, Wang Bian was both happy and surprised, everyone looked up and saw Wang Bian coming in, and they all gathered around to salute each other, Zhi Kejun and others did not need to be introduced, Zhong Zhen pulled Wang Bian and said happily: "If there is no brother, we will rest assured that you will come back safely, come, I will introduce you to you." ”

Ying Wang Zhao Zhongzhen said, pulling Wang next to the forty or fifty-year-old and introducing the older ones: "When my brother has been gone for a long time, the appointment of officials in the DPRK and China has changed a lot, this is my current squire of the Criminal Department, and the new Jingdong Road Prison Official Cai Ting Cai Zizheng. ”

During the Jiayou period of Song Renzong, Wang Fang governed salt affairs in Yanzhou, when Cai Ting was in Jiangxi, Cai Ting reformed the salt tax and ordered to reduce the price of official salt, after Cai Ting's rectification, Jiangxi sold salt every year compared with the original increase of three million catties, Cai Ting because of the excellent management of salt affairs, so that the current Song Yingzong Zhao Shu, who was still a general at that time, received Renzong's commendation for recommending good talents,

And what impressed Wang Pan was Cai Ting's position, "mentioning criminal prison affairs", the Taizong Dynasty of the Northern Song Dynasty began to set up "mentioning criminal prison affairs", and gradually institutionalized it in the Zhenzong Dynasty, and set up the yamen of the criminal department, the abbreviation of this position is the criminal officer, speaking of the criminal officer, Wang Pan was quite impressed by the film and television dramas before the crossing, one of which is specifically about this official position, describing the story of Song Ci's "The Great Song Dynasty Criminal Officer",

In addition to supervising local officials, the functions of the "criminal judge" are mainly to supervise and review the cases heard and reported by the state and county officials under their jurisdiction, and to interrogate the prisoners of the state and county officials, and to impeach the dereliction of duty of the local officials who delay the judgment of the case and fail to catch the thieves as scheduled ("Song History: Zhiguan Zhi VII"), and the "criminal judge" is also responsible for hearing difficult cases, redressing unjust prisons, and accepting appeals from the people.

Such an important person Zhong Zhen introduced, Wang Bian hurriedly said: "I have long admired the prestige of Cai Ti's punishment, and I have an excellent record in governing Jiangxi salt affairs back then, Wang admires it very much. ”

Now Zhong Zhen has introduced this person, and it is an unofficial form, such a mouthful of a brother, if there is no brother one by one, presumably Cai Ting also understands in his heart that Zhao Zhongzhen is the undisputed prince in the future, and he must do his best to participate in the investigation of the fire in the Wang's mansion this time, and even if there is no Zhongzhen recommendation, Cai Ting is very pleasant to listen to the words of the king just now.

Cai Ting had heard of Wang Bian's person, this time he met Wang Bian was not the rumored youthful spirit, and praised his achievements in Jiangxi that year, and his heart was very useful, not to mention that he also knew the merits made by Wang Bian, and he felt more sympathy, Cai Ting looked at Wang Bian with an appreciative expression, remembered the purpose of this trip, and said with a little regret: "Zizheng has always admired Wang Shilang's talent, and I was able to meet today, but I didn't expect it to be this situation." Saying that, Cai Ting sighed,

Wang Bei couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, he sighed softly and said, "It is not unexpected that this change in the family has occurred. He wanted to say something about impartiality and the like, but then he thought about it and didn't figure it out, what sentence to sentence,

Wang Fang wanted to come back quietly, and checked slowly without making a sound, but now there are a lot of people who are alarmed, he looked at the person next to Lou Qing, and Zhong Zhen hurriedly introduced: "This is Li Shen, the prefect of Kaifeng Mansion in the current dynasty, and the word Qingchen"

Li Shen hurriedly grabbed the king's eyes with tears in his eyes: "Wang Shilang, the Qing ministers didn't live up to Prime Minister Bao's trust and let your mansion suffer this ordeal." Wang listened to Li Shen mention Prime Minister Bao Cheng, a sour feeling in his heart, the love of the king, Bao Zheng secretly hid the Songwen sword, and gave the sword king, this love and trust, as well as the prime minister's past teachings are vivid, or at the most critical time, Prime Minister Bao Zheng did not say any big truth, only one sentence made Wang next to him remember deeply: "If the father does not live in this position, even if he loves the people, it is in vain." ”

Thinking of this, Wang Bei's eyes turned red and tears fell, and he choked up and said: "Kaifeng Mansion is just a house and a courtyard in my Meyer Mansion, and the responsibility of Governor Li is heavy, and Wang Bei has no intention of complaining, but he just wants to rebel about what happened to his father before his death, and he is sad in his heart." ”

Li Shen was also excited, he said in a trembling voice: "Prime Minister Bao Cheng is honest and honest, he is famous in his life, and he is a role model for my generation, Wang Shilang can rest assured, even if there is no relationship between Wang Shilang and Bao Cheng, Li will try his best to find out about this matter." ”

The people in the house, no one has ever seen the king cry, no matter what kind of ups and downs he has experienced, no matter what kind of grievances he has suffered, no matter what kind of injuries he has suffered on the battlefield, the king has never cried, and now I think of Bao Zheng Wang is sad, sad is such an upright prime minister, and now he is also driving to the west, can the Great Song Dynasty still have the courage to speak as directly as the prime minister, seeing the king crying, the room is sad,

Yuan Ze sighed: "Brother's Day, this time everyone came together to discuss how to take care of the affairs in the house." Yuan Ze said and looked at Zhong Zhen, and Zhong Zhen also said: "If there is no brother, we have something to tell each other." ”

Wang Bian nodded, endured the grief in his heart, and ordered his family to retreat, Zhong Zhen and others also ordered the attendants to retreat temporarily, only King Ying, Wang Bian, Yuan Ze, Cai Ting and Li Shen were left in the room,

Seeing that everyone was a little silent, no one knew how to speak first, so he said to himself: "I should have come back earlier, to pay tribute to the emperor, to worship my father-in-law, this is my greatest regret, on the way back, Liangshan was injured again, and now I don't see the face of my deceased wife, which is another great regret for me; Now that I know that my son's life and death are unknown, this is my third regret, and I feel sad when I think about it. ”

Hearing what the king said, Zhong Zhen said: "If you don't have a brother, you don't have to be too sad, the emperors of all dynasties have famous ministers and lords to accompany the funeral, I have asked my father to ask for General Di Qing and Prime Minister Bao Zheng to be buried in the Yongzhao Mausoleum of the former emperor Song Renzong, the first emperor has been allowed to play, this matter is asked if there is no brother to escort the clothes and crowns of the two famous ministers into the imperial tomb, but also to understand the brother's heart." ”

Wang Jian listened to this, got up and knelt down and gave Zhong Zhen a bow, this worship is from the heart, although the biological father of this body is Wang Anshi, but the righteous father Bao Zheng, the teacher Di Qing is even more to the king has the grace of cultivation and support, not to mention that Di Qing is also the biological father under the moon, Wang Fang has a lot of hatred for Zhao Shu in his heart, seeing that Zhong Zhen is so thoughtful and so trying, he can't get up with the determination to oppose the Great Song Dynasty,

Ying Wang Zhao Zhongzhen hurriedly helped Wang Bian, in his heart for so many years, Wang Bian was like an amiable brother, Zhao Zhongzhen knew that everything Wang Bian did was for the Great Song Dynasty; In his heart, Wang Bi is still a hero like Di Qing; As he grew older, Zhao Zhongzhen understood better that he needed someone like Wang Fang to assist him, unlike his father Zhao Shu, Zhong Zhen was not very interested in the throne, he envied Wang Fang's frankness and ease, or the word admiration, was more suitable for Zhong Fang's attitude towards Wang Fang,

Wang thanked Zhong Needle, and Zhong Needle asked Cai Ting: "Cai Tixing, you have always said that there is a secret in this case, and now that Wang Shilang is here, you can tell me about it." ”

Cai Ting said that he looked at Wang and said, "Wang Shilang, the fire in your mansion is weird, and your lady did not die from the fire. ”

What, Wang Jian was shocked when he heard this, he looked at Cai Ting and waited for the following,
