Jia Zheng threw the problem to Dong Guangxiao, to see how Dong Guangxiao dealt with it. At the same time, it is also extremely strange, how did this Fan Zhongyan know about these things, and he still has to intervene.

Maybe it's really a good life! When Bao Qing was arrested, Bao Liuwen couldn't see Dong Yanran again, so she was so panicked that she couldn't stop crying at the door of the mansion.

At this time, it happened that Ouyang Xiu accompanied Fan Zhongyan to Jianghuai for disaster relief, passing through Luzhou, thinking about taking a little rest in Luzhou and supervising the official style all the way. No, just about to enter the palace, I saw a girl like Bao Liuwen crying miserably at the entrance of the yamen, and I thought that the people had suffered some grievances. So he stepped forward and accosted him.

At that moment, Bao Liuwen was hesitating and helpless, when she saw a man in white gently knock on her shoulder. She touched the tears on her face, and then she saw who the man in front of her was.

That Ouyang Xiu also saw the appearance of the girl who raised her head, and the two screamed together in surprise. Bao Liuwen saw that Ouyang Xiu was actually an acquaintance who was drinking with Bao Qing on the boat on a rainy night, and seeing the appearance of this official uniform, she hurriedly grabbed Ouyang Xiu for help, for fear that Ouyang Xiu would run away.

So, Ouyang Xiu asked Fan Zhongyan to listen to Bao Liuwen's story about Bao Qing's life in Luzhou. After Fan Zhongyan heard this, he couldn't help but feel sorry for his talents. In addition, this Bao Qing is Ouyang Xiu's friend, so he came to help and rescued Bao Qing first. This is the scene where Fan Zhongyan fiercely argues with Jia Zheng.

"Master Dong, you say!" Fan Zhongyan looked at Dong Guangxiao and asked.

At this time, where could Dong Guangxiao hesitate, and said slowly: "Lieutenant Bao is indeed a guest in this mansion!" ”

Na Jia Zheng's face turned angry when he heard this, and he sneered: "Really? Then please ask Lord Dong to invite the county lieutenant to come out! I think Master Dong is a guest in a prison cell! ”

"What Master Jia said is true, at this moment, Lieutenant Bao is in the cell, and I am indeed negligent! A head catcher in the government ate inside and out, and detained the county lieutenant Bao without authorization in order to invite merit, no, I was about to ask Lord Jia about it. The thing that eats inside and outside is said to have been sent by Master Jia! Is there such a thing? Dong Guangxiao asked.

"You still ask others about your own affairs!"

Fan Zhongyan hated to talk around, so he said: "Okay, don't grind your mouth about this, please come out quickly!" ”

After a while, Bao Qing was invited to the hall. I saw Bao Qing flick the dust on his body, and just wanted to speak, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Ouyang Xiu here, and was a little surprised.

"Brother Bao, don't come unharmed! Come, meet Fan Zhongyan Fan! Ouyang Xiu hurriedly introduced Bao Qing. Bao Qing was slightly stunned, and the middle-aged man in front of him with a resolute expression was the famous Fan Zhongyan in history. Bao Qing was very excited in his heart and hurriedly gave a salute. Fan Zhongyan nodded slightly.

"Lieutenant Bao, I've been admiring you for a long time! Not only is the poetry and writing good, but even the prison case is very good at judging, and he is really a talent. Fan Zhongyan said. Bao Qing was a little embarrassed when he heard it, where did he dare to say more, he was afraid that he would say too much.

"Master Fan, this Bao Qing is a criminal who is guilty of private indulgence, how can this not be investigated, and Master Pang is very concerned about this." Jia Zheng said.

Bao Qing was a little surprised when he heard this, thinking that he didn't seem to have offended anyone! Who is this annoying person in front of you! What else is Master Pang? Didn't you say that Pang Taishi Pang Ji was made up in a novel? How could there really be such a person?

"Master Pang? Ponji? Bao Qing asked.

"Bold! Master Pang's name is something you and other officials can say directly! Just do that, and I'll put you in jail! ”

"Huh? But I don't think I've offended you! Why are you biting me and not letting go? Bao Qing was a little strange, what kind of bad luck did he have fallen.

Fan Zhongyan saw that Bao Qing's speech was quite strange, he was afraid that he was a newcomer to officialdom and did not understand the rules of officialdom, and Bao Qing bluntly said that it was indeed inappropriate for Master Pang to be named. So he hurriedly said: "Lieutenant Bao, tell me, did you really release criminals privately?" ”

"Something out there! Master Dong knows this best. Nalu Mansion was destroyed, I have already investigated clearly, the previous Dong caught the head by mistake and caught someone, and now I have proved that the people are innocent, so I will not let them go! ”

"Lieutenant Bao is right, that Dong catches the head in order to invite merit and grasp people privately. Now, in order to ask someone for credit, he detained the county lieutenant Bao without authorization. Dong Guangxiao hurriedly said that he didn't want to be included in the imperial history.

"The Lu Mansion Destruction Case? Lieutenant Bao, you come and listen! Fan Zhongyan asked, and many officials below immediately pricked up their ears to listen.

It took Bao Qing a long time to tell what happened, and everyone heard about it, and after hearing it, they were curious and regretful. Fan Zhongyan, on the other hand, is more contemplative.

"Plum Blossom Gang? I think I've heard of it somewhere! You see, at this age, the brain is useless. Fan Zhongyan said.

Bao Qing was a little surprised, Fan Zhongyan also knew about the affairs of the rivers and lakes? So, he whispered: "The plum blossoms attack people's fragrant blood, and the flowers bloom and twist the world." ”

Bao Qing had just finished chanting, only to hear Fan Zhongyan slam the table, shake up and stand up, and said: "The assassination case in Tokyo ten years ago, yes, it was the assassination case that happened in the first year of the Heavenly Sage. At that time, I had just joined the throne and the new emperor had ascended the throne. It is also this plum blossom gang, the flowers attack people, the flowers are fragrant and bloody, and the flowers bloom and twist the world. Many people should know these two sentences. ”

"Indeed, although the plum blossom helps me not remember very well, these two lines of poetry, I still remember it vividly. When the new emperor ascended the throne, there was an assassination case against the emperor. But wasn't this Plum Blossom Gang completely eradicated by the Nine Princes back then? I remember that back then, the Nine Princes killed many people with the idea that they would rather kill than let go for the sake of the country. The Plum Blossom Gang was finally removed from the rivers and lakes. Dong Guangxiao recalled it and couldn't help but feel emotional.

"How did you get the plum blossom gang, I don't have any impression. If I don't bring this bag of green back, how can I explain it to Master Pang! ”

"Of course you don't remember, at that time you were still working as a nursing home in the Taishi Mansion. Bao Qing, this plum blossom gang is very harmful to the Great Song Sheji, and now this plum blossom gang is resurrected, I am afraid that it will make waves again. Fan Zhongyan looked at this Bao Qing and said.

Bao Qing's heart trembled, he couldn't take care of this, if he hadn't had a treasure coat to protect himself before, he would have almost lost his life. So he said: "There are no other clues, this plum blossom gang is too secretive, so I can only take it to check." ”

Fan Zhongyan's eyes were like torches, as if he had already seen through Bao Qing's thoughts, shook his head slightly, and sighed.

Seeing this, Dong Guangxiao said: "That's it, let's hold a banquet in Deyue Building today, Master Fan, let's come together." ”

That night, Bao Qing really made all the officials look at it, and the amount of wine was unmatched in the Great Song Dynasty.

The next day, Bao Qing resigned and took the long-awaited Bao Liuwen and Zhu Daniu on the way back.

On the small building surrounded by green bamboo in the backyard of the mansion, Dong Yanran looked at a small brocade box in a daze. The maid Xiaolan stepped forward, ignoring Dong Yanran's stopping, and directly opened the brocade box, which was a jade hairpin. Dong Yanran had a happy smile on her face, and she was still the hairpin she had taken a fancy to at the beginning, and she returned to her side.
