Chapter 68: The Plan for the Aftermath
"What's the sigh? Did something happen? Cao Xi asked.
Bao Qinggang wanted to say that it was okay, but he just sighed. Then he said: "Speaking of things, I really have something to ask the general to help me as a staff officer!" Is the general familiar with the silence of the Criminal Department? ”
"What are you doing with the birds? That Fei Lin is Lu Yijian's person, and he circles around Lu Yijian like a dog all day long. How? How dare he embarrass you? ”
Bao Qing nodded and said, "Well, it's not to embarrass me, but to target me!" The official family sent him to Changchang County, Luzhou to receive the Li family who committed the crime, but he led enough people to forcibly storm my house and injured my brother! ”
"What? How dare this cowardly bird be so bold? I think that at the beginning, the Liao people knocked on the side that year, and the official family ordered me to be the commander-in-chief, and that Fei Lin happened to be the governor of Cangzhou at that time. You say cowardice! Bao Qing, this is easy to do. My Cao family has no other skills, and I haven't been afraid of anyone in a fight. Back then, Taizu gave me a dragon whip for the Cao family, but the official family was disobedient, so I went up to whip it. ”
"Huh?" Bao Qing was stunned for a moment, and had some doubts in his heart, what Cao Xi said was true or false?
"You don't believe it? It's a pity that my Cao family has fought on the battlefield for generations, and there are few scholars, so I don't dare to show it easily. That day, the Yang family of Bofu was also given, my Cao family got the dragon whip, and his Yang family got the Nine Dragons Prison State tin staff. ”
Bao Qing hurriedly said the letter, and Cao Yu saw that Bao Qing was still suspicious, so he said: "Yun'er, bring the dragon whip to Bao Qing to see!" ”
Bao Qing glanced at Cao Yun, and suddenly asked in a panic: "Isn't it, the golden whip that Yun'er beat me on the street some time ago?" ”
When Cao Xi heard this, his face was a little unbearable, and he asked with a straight face: "Yun'er, was it really the dragon whip you stole that day?" I said, the housekeeper said to me with a pale face in fright, the dragon whip was stolen, and I still wanted to find Cheng Lin's bad luck in Kaifeng Mansion! ”
Cao Yun stuck out her tongue and said, "Who let him bully my brother!" ”
"You girl is just too naughty, a woman who thinks about fighting and killing all day long. Do you know that Daddy worries all day long that you won't be able to get married! It's good now! Cao Xi said comfortingly.
Bao Qing listened to it, but his scalp was numb, according to Cao Xi's tone, this Cao Xi's daughter was definitely thrown to herself, the key is that this girl still has a dragon whip in her hand, in case she gets married, she will also accompany this dragon whip as a dowry. Once Cao Yun didn't like it, he sacrificed the dragon whip, so he didn't have to live his life.
"I'll go back to Changchang County tomorrow, and I don't know how many days I'll have to stay!" Bao Qing said.
"I'll go with you!" Cao Yun plucked up her courage and said.
Bao Qing was a little stunned, and Cao Qian was even more melancholy.
"I'll bring a dragon whip!" Cao Yun explained.
"Oh! I don't live in an inn now, I bought a house, near the edge of the imperial city! ”
When Bao Qing returned to his residence, the first thing he did was to interrogate the eunuch Xiao Chunzi.
This Xiao Chunzi is a eunuch with fine skin and tender meat, Bao Qing didn't use any special interrogation methods, and directly beat all of them.
"Is it your godfather, Yan Wen, the great eunuch of the court, who should tell you to do this? I'm the secret order of the official family, you can cut it first and then play it, don't think that your godfather can keep you! You've got a good account! Maybe you can survive! ”
"Stop fighting, I admit that my godfather made me do it! That day, Lu Xiangye came to his godfather and discussed for a long time, and after that, the godfather asked me to reveal the news of Li Hai's dismissal, so I made a small amount of money and confessed to the Xia scribe. Haruko exclaimed.
"Do you know why your godfather let you do this?"
"I don't know, perhaps, they want to hope that after Lehi hears this, he will kill himself if he can't think of it."
"I ask you, what else do you know about your godfather? Say it all! Bao Qing shouted.
"What else? I don't know! Godfather's secret things won't let me know! ”
Bao Qing paused, and suddenly asked: "Think about it, anyway, you can't go back, or die here, or give you a sum of money, go to live some leisurely days, and the life of serving people is so good?" ”
Xiao Chunzi hesitated for a moment and said, "Really not! ”
Bao Qing was a little annoyed, did this eunuch really not know anything? It's impossible, no matter how good the relationship between Koharuko and his godfather is, he will hide something to save his life, after all, it is not a real father-son relationship.
"Let me prompt, if you don't say anything more, just chop you up and feed it to the dog!" Bao Qing said hungrily.
"Lu Yijian and Yan Wenying's plan to abolish the post-mortem, how is it progressing?"
As soon as Bao Qing's words came out, the eunuch Xiao Chunzi was shocked, and looked at Bao Qing with a strange expression.
"You? Who are you? Do you know that too? ”
"It's okay to tell, this official Bao Qing! The official family specially ordered me to investigate this case, this Lehi was poisoned by someone, and it involved a wide range of people, if you don't tell the truth, I will chop you directly, believe it? ”
Bao Qing saw that the eunuch Xiao Chunzi was still hesitating, obviously this guy knew something, and as long as he continued to work harder at this time, he would inevitably crush the last straw that supported this Xiao Chunzi.
Bao Qing continued: "Don't hesitate, don't think that as long as you don't say it, I won't know!" Who am I? I can find out about Chen's case ten years ago. If you don't say it, it's just a matter of how long it will take me to solve the case, and I can still find out quickly. But if you say it, I Baoqing is still credible, and I will give you 5,000 yuan for the passage and let you run away! ”
Xiao Chunzi raised her head and glanced at Bao Qing deeply, and said, "Master Bao has to be a talker, otherwise I won't let you go!" ”
"Speak quickly!"
"A few years ago, Empress Guo made a statement in front of the official family, which made Lu Xiangye deposed. The godfather told Lu Xiangye about this, and Lu Xiangye has always held a grudge, and he wanted to save face many times when he drank with his godfather. Once, I heard my godfather say that in fact, there is no way to abolish Empress Guo. Because the official family always complained in front of the godfather, saying that Queen Guo did not give birth to a boy and a girl. ”
"When did this happen?"
"It was three years ago!"
"Three years ago? So long? Then your godfather and Lu Yijian haven't moved so far, is that it? Isn't it useless what I've worked so hard to find! Bao Qing said casually.
Bao Qing said it so casually, but it scared the eunuch Xiaochunzi half to death, useless? Wouldn't it be useless to keep it like this, and then don't chop up this bag of adults.
Koharuko hurriedly said, "It's useful, it's useful!" Don't worry, Master Bao, if you had arrested me a few days earlier, I really didn't know, but the day before yesterday, Lu Xiangye came to find his godfather and said that the opportunity that he had waited for three years had come. ”
"Say it quickly, don't grind!" Bao Qing urged.
Lu Xiangye told his godfather that he had found a way to overthrow Queen Guo, it turned out that Shang Meiren had taken refuge in Lu Xiangye, as long as Lu Xiangye helped her to the position of queen, Lu Xiangye would definitely be more stable in the court in the future! Lu Xiangye told his godfather that Shang Meiren was going to deliberately pretend to be pregnant, change the official family for more favor, and then secretly provoke the official family and Queen Guo. Because the godfather told Lu Xiangye that Queen Guo was too upright, she once slapped the official family. ”
"Isn't it?" Bao Qing was a little surprised, did women slap men in ancient times? And it was a slap in the face of the emperor, and this Empress Guo was too bold.
"It's true, at first Lu Xiangye didn't believe it, but he felt that his godfather wouldn't lie to him. So this time I designed to provoke Queen Guo and the official family, and the official family especially wanted Longzi, so as long as any concubine was pregnant, the official family would basically go to see her every day, and almost any request would meet her. Once Empress Guo gets excited again and gives the official family a slap in the face, Lu Xiangye will unite with the ministers of the DPRK and China to demand the abolition of the queen! ”
Bao Qing was stunned for a long time, isn't this the realistic version of palace scheming? This is too poisonous, isn't it?
