Chapter 69: Pure
Just when Bao Qing hurriedly interrogated Xiao Chunzi, Lu Yijian, the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, was not idle, at this time, he was holding a cup of tea with a sad face, and he didn't drink it for a long time.
"What are you worried about? My godson is a gambler, and if he hasn't returned for the past two days, he must have lost his money in gambling, and where is he going to make money. Sitting opposite Lu Yijian was Yan Wenying, the great eunuch beside Renzong.
"I'm worried that your unsuccessful godson is missing in this spine. If we are taken captive, we will not only have our plans ruined, but we will also face the danger of being exposed! Lu Yijian said worriedly.
"Haha, why has Lu Xiangye become timid recently, now that Lehi is dead, we have no worries!"
"Lehi? He's a fart! It's the same whether he dies or not! He's just someone else's pawn, and he's a wreck. ”
"What do you mean by that? Then what did you do by killing Lehi? Yan Wenying asked.
"Why, even you think I killed him? I'm just asking your godson to report the letter, and someone else will take care of him! Lu Yijian said proudly.
"In that case, what are you worried about? Success or not, it's up to tonight. As long as Queen Guo and the official family quarrel tonight, I estimate that I am ninety percent sure. ”
Lu Yijian took a deep breath and said, "This woman is originally good, but she has to offend me!" Hum! If you offend me, Lu Yijian will not end well! However, what I'm most worried about at the moment is another person, who is not leaving the capital now, which really makes it difficult for me to sleep. ”
"Oh? Who? Could it be that Fan Zhongyan is old and pedantic? ”
"It's him, it's the guy named Bao Qing who is with him!"
"Haha, Lu Xiangye, I'm going to laugh at you, that Bao Qing I often hear the official praise him, this person is observant and judges the case like a god. The official family appreciated it. But this Bao Qing was obviously recommended by you Lu Xiangye, how did you get mixed up with your opponent Fan Zhongyan now? Yan Wenying said with a smile.
"I, Lu Yijian, pretend to have no last resort, but I can't help this kid, in Changchang County, I originally regarded him as an outcast, who knows, this kid actually saw that I was the devil, not only did not suffer any losses, but made a great contribution to him."
"What? What does Lu Xiangye mean, this Bao Qing will interfere? Koharuko was caught by him? ”
"It's not impossible, but I've already sent someone to Changchang County to give him some eye medicine, I believe that he should leave Beijing soon, I'm afraid it's hard to take care of the affairs of the capital these days! May my worries be in vain! ”
"Xiangye, a little county lieutenant, are you afraid of being like this? It's really not good, I'll find someone to kill him and assassinate a little county lieutenant, I'm still sure! ”
"No, neither can you!"
"What? Xiangye cherishes his talents? ”
"One is, it's rare to see such a talent in my Great Song Dynasty. Second, the officials are watching it closely. The last key thing is that the few retinues around him are very difficult to entangle, and if you are not careful, you will be swept in! Lu Yijian did not tell Yan Wenying the details of the situation, but he himself understood that Fei Lian, who he had sent to Changchang County, had suffered a big loss, and the letter had already asked for the soldiers to use horses to inspect the army.
Bao Qing then asked the eunuch Xiao Chunzi another question, in addition to telling the Xia scribe of the Ministry of Industry that Li Hai was going to dismiss the official, who else knew.
That Xiao Chunzi thought for a long time, and said that he had been staying in Haoxing Casino, and he hadn't gone anywhere else, and he couldn't remember it clearly.
Qiu Xiong, the owner of Haoxing Casino? Bao Qing secretly wrote it down.
"One last question, have you ever seen this teapot?" Bao Qing took out the teapot that made Li Hai poisoned in the study and was broken by Zhanfei, and at this moment this teapot had already been repaired by Bao Qing and someone.
Koharuko looked at it carefully, shook her head and said, "I've never seen it!" ”
Bao Qing asked Xiao Chunzi to be taken down, and then brought out Li Hai's housekeeper, found a painter, and asked Li Hai's housekeeper to try his best to recall the physiognomy of the person who asked him to send hot tea, and then asked the painter to draw it.
The Xia scribe was of little use, and after some education, he put it back, Bao Qing gave him a hundred yuan and sold him a favor to Wang Su, which moved the Xia scribe so much that he almost kowtowed.
Bao Qing thought that he would return to Changchang County tomorrow, so the conspiracy after the abolition should have been known to Fan Zhongyan earlier. Bao Qing regretted a little, he had known that this was the case, and he should have interrogated him immediately after catching Xiao Chunzi. But now there is still time, the top priority is to go to Fan Zhongyan's mansion first.
Bao Qing came to Fan Zhongyan's mansion, and it happened that Fan Zhongyan was not there. Bao Qing had to wait there, and when it was time, Fan Zhongyan did not come back.
"Lord Bao, I'm afraid that our lord is going to spend the night in the suburbs, today Lord Fu Bi and Lord Chang Luo are back in Beijing, and Lord Ouyang asks the master to go to the suburbs together!" The housekeeper of the Fan Mansion said.
"The stakes are very high, I'll wait until tomorrow morning, don't you Lord Fan go to court tomorrow?"
"Then I'll have someone cut another pot of tea for you!"
"Plain water, no tea!" Bao Qing frowned, this tea is too unpalatable.
That night, Bao Qing had been waiting in Fan's Mansion, and when it was time, Bao Qing actually fell asleep.
Not long after, Fan Zhongyan came back to change into court clothes and prepare for the early court.
The old housekeeper hurriedly came and said, "Master, Master Bao said that he was looking for you in an emergency, and he waited all night!" ”
"Heh, what's the hurry? It's not that his house in Changchang County has been investigated by the Criminal Department, and he deserves it, and the Li family's money is in his pocket nine times out of ten. Oh, let him wait, just say I'll go to Zao Chao first, and I'll talk about it when I come back. ”
"Yes, sir!"
As the sky got brighter, Bao Qing suddenly had a cold war, woke up suddenly, and shouted directly: "Is your master back?" ”
"The old man has already arrived, he said what Master Bao wanted to say, he knows! Let Master Bao wait for him to come back! ”
"What? Why didn't you wake me up? Darn! Do you Master Fan know? Really? The matter after the abolition is so big, he actually knows about it? Phew! ”
After Bao Qing finished speaking, he threw up his sleeves and left, and just walked out of the gate of Fan's Mansion, he happened to see a scholar on the street who had just opened a writing stall.
Bao Qing walked over and asked the scholar, "Can you write?" Help me write a subcouplet and give you ten times! ”
The scholar was very surprised when he heard this, it's not the end of the year, what kind of couplet to write, besides, the person in front of him is an official at first glance, doesn't he know how to write?
"Do you want to write?"
"Write! Ten times to write a few words, a fool doesn't write! ”
Bao Qing took the scholar and pointed to the gate of Fan's Mansion and said: "You write to me, the worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world." Horizontal batch, pure! ”
