Chapter 45: The Next Set
After Bao Qing saw Master Qin and the others, he hurriedly went to find Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu. When Ouyang Xiu saw Bao Qing coming, he hurriedly greeted him, held Bao Qing's hand and asked, "But there is progress in the case?" ”
Bao Qing said with a smile: "I came to find Master Fan for something." ”
Ouyang Xiu glanced at Bao Qing puzzled, and was not angry, and welcomed Bao Qing in.
"Master Bao actually has the leisure to come to me!" Fan Zhongyan was angry when he saw Bao Qing.
Bao Qing still smiled slightly: "My lord, I'm here to ask for a warrant!" ”
"What warrant?"
"The right to dispose of it on the spot!"
"Oh? Did you catch the robber? ”
"Robbers? Didn't I tell you yesterday? That's Li Jiujin! ”
"You also said that there is no evidence, and the court trial did not ask anything, and you still don't agree to the torture! All the princes in the court and China say that I am pedantic, I think you are more pedantic than me! ”
"Haha, evidence, I wonder if adults think this is evidence?" Bao Qing threw the account book collected from the Lu family's extermination case in Luzhou to Fan Zhongyan.
Fan Zhongyan took the account book and looked at it for a while, and was stunned on the spot, and then threw it to Ouyang Xiu on the side.
"How did you get this ledger?" Fan Zhongyan asked.
"Luzhou Lu family! I discovered the Plum Blossom Gang some time ago after cracking the Lu family's extermination case, and the Lu family was assassinated by the killers of the Plum Blossom Gang. That's why the Plum Blossom Gang has been assassinating me the most. ”
At first, Bao Qing couldn't figure out why the Plum Blossom Gang people were always pestering him. Bao Qing believes that a killer organization should have a lot of business to do, and the killing and arrest of killers is also a common thing. In the words of the later generations, if you come out to mix, sooner or later you will have to pay it back, and you have to have this awareness. What does this plum blossom gang mean by being so entangled with himself?
Regarding this ledger, Bao Qing has never figured out who the name of the person on it refers to. After Bao Hong's identity was known by himself, Bao Qing saw that Bao Hong was very bored in prison, so he asked Bao Liuwen to take the account book to Bao Hong and ask him to annotate all the names he knew. As a result, Bao Qing was completely dumbfounded when he brought the name annotation sent by Bao Liuwen, they were all ministers of the DPRK and China. This ledger is not a record of commercial transactions, but a record of bribes to the ministers of the DPRK and China.
"The stakes are very high, if this account book is true, if it is exposed in the DPRK and China, it will definitely cause an uproar!" Fan Zhongyan said worriedly.
"So how to deal with it? This Li Jiujin secretly bribed the ministers of the DPRK and China, I am afraid that the plan is very big! I think that Li Hai, the squire of the Ministry of Works, must not be able to get out of it! I said, no wonder Brother Bao deliberately showed weakness in the court trial, I am afraid that he will set up a bureau to involve this Li Hai as well. Ouyang Xiu said.
"Oh!" Fan Zhongyan recalled Bao Qing's court trial, thinking that he was also strange at that time, this Bao Qing didn't ask a single question, just followed Li Jiujin around, it turned out to be this plan. I'm afraid that I blamed Bao Qing by mistake, has this Bao Qing been secretly solving the case?
Fan Zhongyan straightened out his thoughts and asked, "Bao Qing, Ouyang Xiu, you are a good friend, and our relationship is not too far." I don't interfere with your solving the case, but I just ask you one question, and you have to answer me honestly. Can we recover the robbed official silver? ”
Bao Qing bowed his head and was silent, and said after a long time: "Just to find the robbed official silver, I can find it more than ten days ago!" ”
"What? So why are you so slow to act? Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu were both excited when they heard this, but they turned to be very curious.
"The reason I'm putting it off so long is because I need a commitment! I need a commitment from the official! Bao Qing said expressionlessly.
"A promise from the official? It's been a long time, and you're dragging it out like this, I'm afraid it's just to ask for a gift at this stall! Say, do you want officials or money? Fan Zhongyan was a little displeased.
"Officer? Money? Master Fan can't help but look up to me too much. I just need to reward all the people who assisted me in handling the case, and all of them will be exempted! Bao Qing thought very clearly, when the time comes, he will really take credit, report everyone, let the emperor reward, he will not believe it, he is embarrassed to say that you are a bandit, you are a Qin criminal, and the worst is all exonerated from the crime.
"Oh? All exoneration? I know you're trying to exonerate that Bao Hong, I see. Well, I'll ask for this will, and don't forget what you promised. All of this will have to wait until you recover the money you have been robbed. ”
"Then if I make new contributions, can I reward some money, I've been too tight lately, and I don't even have the money to invite you to dinner!" Bao Qing's serious expression turned into a hippie smile in a blink of an eye, which made Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu chill for a while, this kid is too shameless, just now he had a righteous and awe-inspiring face, but now he is begging me for money.
"That's it, now the court doesn't lack anything, it's short of money, if you can make money, I'll tell the official family to reward you half!" Fan Zhongyan quipped.
"My lord, this is what you said, I didn't force you, Brother Ouyang, you have to testify!"
"Okay, I'll testify, let's see what tricks you kid plays!" Ouyang Xiu said with a smile.
"What about this ledger!"
"I'd better put it there first! By the way, tonight, you have to set up a banquet to entertain us, I have been here with Master Fan for a few days, and you have not fulfilled the friendship of the landlord! Ouyang Xiu said with a smile.
"That's that! Tonight, there will be a banquet in Zuihailou! ”
After Bao Qing went back, he sat on the chair alone, smiling secretly in his heart. Lu Yijian, Lu Yijian, your old man is really not simple. Just a few days ago, Bao Qing figured out what this old fox wanted to do, it was really a big picture, and he put two eyes in Changchang County, one was Bao Hong, and the other was Ma Patrol. put a Lu family in Luzhou. I am afraid that the deployment over the years is just to get the account book of this bribery of hundreds of officials. With this ledger, does the DPRK still dare to have a voice against Lu Xiangye? Of course, since Fan Zhongyan didn't ask, there was no need for him to say.
In the evening, Bao Qing took everyone to accompany Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu to drink. Bao Qing took advantage of everyone's drunkenness and said with a smile: "Everyone, what kind of official is Qincha?" ”
"Your Excellency, you're drunk!" Master Qin on the side hurriedly said.
"The difference between Qin and Qin is very big, on behalf of the official family, on behalf of the imperial court. What the Qin Cha said is what the official family said! Everyone followed the sound and looked, it turned out to be Bao Liuwen. Bao Qing smiled secretly, this little girl answered well, it seems that she listened to what she told her just now.
"Oh! Haha, that's good! Today, Lord Qin Chafan told me that the court is short of money now, and we have to think about it. And told me that if I could find the money, I would give me half of it! Of course, the official silver that was robbed this time does not count! My lord, I'm right! Bao Qing said to Fan Zhongyan.
Ouyang Xiu didn't sound right, what does this kid mean by saying this now? His posture is very similar to the posture of giving people a set. Ouyang Xiu knew Bao Qing's ability too well, and hurriedly glanced at Fan Zhongyan.
But where did Ouyang Xiu think of it, Fan Zhongyan stood up and said: "You may not know that the official family is worried about money, and even the use in the palace has been reduced a lot, and the ladies are reluctant to add jewelry." So, what Master Bao said is right, I said, as long as you can find the money, it doesn't matter if you share half of it! ”
"Good! Good! Bao Qing led everyone to applaud desperately.
After the dinner, Ouyang Xiu helped Fan Zhongyan, who was slightly drunk, and complained: "Didn't the adults see me and make a look?" How easy is it to promise in front of everyone? I look at Bao Qing's carefulness What kind of trick is playing, give your adult a set! ”
"Oh? It's okay, I don't believe that he can make money by Bao Qing! ”
Besides, when Bao Qing returned to the house, Bao Liuwen pestered Bao Qing and asked, "How am I doing today?" ”
"Not bad!"
"Then you can reward people too!" Bao Liuwen straightened her chest.
"Rewards? What reward do you want? ”
"Didn't you reward Sister Zhan last time? That's it! ”
Bao Qing was confused, how could I reward Zhanfang. It turned out that Bao Liuwen saw that Bao Qing liked to have big breasts, but she was very small, so she asked Zhanfang for advice shyly, and Zhanfang was entangled by Bao Liuwen and was anxious and ashamed. happened to tell Bao Liuwen that his previous bear breasts were not big, which was the credit of Brother Bao. After speaking, Zhanfang also made a kneading pose. No, Bao Liuwen came to ask Bao Qing for a reward.
Bao Liuwen saw Bao Qing's puzzled look, and she was really angry. grabbed Bao Qing's hand and pressed it to his chest, and said, "You and Sister Bang Zhan, why can't you help me rub it bigger!" Hum! The tea is no longer for you! ”
Bao Qing suddenly realized that it was this Zhanfang who caused a good thing. Bao Qing hurriedly retracted his hand and said with a smile: "I drink tea, drink tea, and when Xiaowen grows up, Brother Bao is helping you rub it!" By the way, it won't be long before your dad can release it. ”
As soon as Bao Liuwen heard Bao Qing talk about her father, she immediately became much more obedient and gave the teacup to Bao Qing. Then, obediently stand aside.
Bao Qing opened the teacup, a strong fragrance of tea came to his face, Bao Qing couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "Yes, it's this tea fragrance!" After speaking, I took a sip, and it was much better than the previous tea, although it was still some distance from the tea I drank in my previous life.
"You know what? Sister Yanran admires you to death! I didn't expect Brother Bao to be a good hand at making tea! ”
"Really? I've been busy lately, so you can improve and improve, grasp the heat, and try more. But it's an exclusive secret ingredient that will make ends meet when we get married. ”
When Bao Liuwen heard this, she looked like a beautiful child, and nodded straight like a chicken pecking rice.
The next day, Bao Qing called the Zhan family and Qian to catch the head.
"Guys, time is running out, we're going to have a tough battle now!" Bao Qing started with a clear intention. But the Zhan family and Qian Zhutou didn't understand.
"I have made a promise from Lord Chincha that after this case, I will be absolved of all our crimes, including those who are to be punished. All sins are forgiven, and there is no longer any need to hide and dare not show your true face. Now it is up to the emperor's will. ”;
