When Bao Qing saw Renzong, Fan Zhongyan was already waiting.

Renzong didn't talk much nonsense, and asked directly: "Bao Qing, I think you already know that Li Hai committed suicide." Concubine Li was very sad. I had to make some concessions, the Li family and the concubine in this long-term county have some relatives, you see that the matter of the Li family is being dealt with, and it is a little looser. ”

"Your Majesty, Concubine Li and the Li family of Changchang County can't fight at all, at best, they are relatives. Concubine Li interceded with His Majesty like this, in fact, she was angry and wanted to embarrass the minister. Your Majesty must not put a woman in disregard of society and justice because of her intercession! Bao Qing said.

"Presumptuous! Originally, I just went down to the next holy decree, directly pardoned the sins of the Li family, and summoned you, just to make it clear to you Bao Qing, even if I made you wronged, you immediately linked this matter to the importance of the society, isn't it that you haven't done it yet, and you have been stained with the stinky habits of the Beijing official! ”

Seeing this, Fan Zhongyan on the side hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that what Bao Qing said is reasonable, this is such a big case of the Li family, if you don't ask about the crime, how can the government and the opposition talk about it?" ”

"Your Majesty, do you know why the minister is late? The minister was late, because he had been investigating the scene in the Li Mansion, and finally came to the conclusion that this Lord Li Hai did not commit suicide, but was poisoned to death. ”

"What?" Renzong and Fan Zhongyan asked in unison.

"Really? What's going on here? Bao Qing, come on! Renzong asked.

Bao Qing told the inference that he had just met Cheng Lin and entered the Li Mansion to investigate the scene, and how he got the inference that Li Hai was poisoned.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not that simple behind this, Lehi was killed. The minister can speculate on two points, one is that Lehi knows too many secrets, and when Your Majesty wants to dismiss his official, this Lehi may have no use value, and it is a disaster to keep it, so he was killed. Second, when Lehi died, his eyes were full of hatred, and the minister guessed that Lehi himself should know who wanted to kill him. This shows that Lehi and the people behind this have always been in contact, and they are all familiar with each other, and the other party even knows that Lehi likes to drink warm tea. This also provides us with a direction to solve cases in the future! ”

Bao Qing solemnly bowed to Renzong and said: "Your Majesty, if this is investigated, the minister thinks that it is very likely to be a major case of rebellion, and the mysterious Plum Blossom Gang must also be involved." If Your Majesty really wants to investigate, you should make up your mind now, if Your Majesty doesn't want to investigate, the minister will pack up his baggage and go back to Luzhou! ”

Renzong pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Check, check!" But this Li family still has to deal with it carefully, Li Hai is Li Guifei's own brother, and now that Li Hai is dead, Li Guifei complains that I am too mean to his brother. I haven't issued a decree to remove Lehi, and I don't know who sent it out. And the most important thing is that the Li family also has a cousin named Li Qing, who was recently promoted to the commander of the Cangzhou border army. There is nothing wrong with me dealing with the Li family in that long county, but now that Concubine Li has come forward to protect the Li family, this makes me really embarrassed! ”

"Commander?" Bao Qing didn't know much about the military system of the Great Song Dynasty, so he unconsciously said something.

Fan Zhongyan saw that Bao Qing was not clear, and said: "Actually, he is the commander who leads nearly 3,000 troops, but this Li Qing is more special, he has come up step by step from the bottom, he has deep qualifications, and he is very good at leading troops!" Last time the Liao army knocked on the side, only Li Qing's army was barely undefeated! ”

Bao Qing was a little puzzled in his heart, since he was a cousin, and he listened to the words of the official family, the relationship between this Li Guifei and his cousin was not bad, so why did this Li Qing have to start from the bottom?

Fan Zhongyan saw that Bao Qing was still a little confused, and said directly: "Li Qing and Concubine Li Guifei have been separated for many years, and they have only recently been contacted. Li Qing is about thirty years old, his father is the leader of the Cangzhou Weiyuan Dart Bureau, about eight or nine years ago, the whole family was killed by thieves, and only he escaped. After that, he disappeared, and later learned that he had joined the border army. ”

"I'm going to hurt Concubine Li's heart, how do you feel about this Li Qing who is fighting on the front line?" Renzong continued.

Bao Qing despised it in his heart, you are an emperor, and you are afraid of breaking a woman's heart? Besides, wouldn't Li Qing just bring a small commander with 3,000 soldiers! This later title of Renzong is really right, really benevolent!

"Actually, it's simple, Your Majesty will reward Concubine Li and Li Qing, and then deal with the Li family!" Bao Qing suggested.

"That's the only way! Then I will issue an order, hand over the Li family to the Criminal Department to be dealt with according to the law, and I will make a secret decree to let Bao Qing have full authority to investigate the murder of Li Hai, and at the same time track down the Plum Blossom Gang! In order to help you, I have another secret decree that I can control all officials below the state capital. After you have received the will, after investigating the Li Hai case clearly, go to Luzhou to take up your post. ”

Bao Qing thought that he would have to live in the capital for a long time, thinking that it would be better to buy a house in the capital, and he couldn't live in an inn all day. What's more, what I have now is money.

That night, Bao Qing hugged Zhanfang to sleep early, Zhanfang teased Bao Qing for a long time, but there was no movement, Bao Qing was indeed tired.

On the second day, Zhanfei waited in front of Bao Qing's door early in the morning, and when he saw Bao Qing, he whispered with a smile: "Brother Bao, I gained a lot yesterday!" Seeing that you went to bed early, I didn't dare to wake you up! ”

Only then did Bao Qing remember to ask Zhanfei and Zhanzhao to go to the Li Mansion to check the secret room.

"Oh? What's there?"

"A lot, Brother Bao, you come with me, in the second brother's room."

Bao Qing followed Zhan Fei to Zhan Zhao's room, and Zhan Zhao was also there.

Zhan Zhao dragged out a big bag from under the bed and said, "After counting, Jiaozi is about 150,000 yuan, and there are some gold, silver and jewelry!" ”

Bao Qing looked inside, picked out a gold pendant, and said with a smile: "Hehe, this will be given to Zhanfang in a while!" ”

Zhan Zhao and Zhan Fei looked at each other and smiled, and then said, "There is still a letterhead here!" I guess it's the letters that the money caught the head last time! ”

"Oh? Let's hear what it's all about! Bao Qing asked, he didn't want to take his own time, anyway, it would take him a long time to understand.

"This, the subordinates did not open it!" Zhan Zhao said.

Bao Qing saw that Zhanzhao had misunderstood, so he had to say: "Actually, I'm too lazy to watch, you can tell me when you see it!" It's true! ”

When Zhan Zhao heard this, he opened the letterhead and looked at it line by line.

"The letter above is addressed to a person named Yan Wenying in the palace, and it is all about relationships, friendships and the like!"

"Yan Wenying? Who is this man? Bao Qing thought, when will he see Fan Zhongyan and ask.

Of course, the happiest thing is that he has money again, plus the last time the Li family copied himself, he probably had more than 600,000 yuan.

"Tomorrow, I will pick a good mansion in this capital!" Bao Qing said.

"Huh? Not afraid of someone saying? The imperial history will not participate? Master Bao, did you offend a lot of people at the court meeting last time? It's all over the place! Zhanzhao asked.

"Buy, what are you afraid of? I'm already rich. By the way, what's spread all over the place? How did you find out about the meeting? ”

"Oh, that, the girl we arrested last time, I'm looking for you at the inn today!"

"What? Cao Yun? ”
