Chapter 465: Hat Master Empress Dowager Pan's means
"Master Bao, the victims of this case are all from the old man's house."
"After careful consideration, the old man decided not to pursue it again, so as not to cause trouble to the court."
Thinking of the consequences of his son's detention, He Jianzhang still held back his anger and softened.
As the saying goes, if the people don't raise it, the officials won't be held accountable, and if the ordinary officials hear that the sufferer will no longer pursue it, most of them will be vague.
After all, more is better than less, sandwiched between two ministers, thankless.
It's just that Bao Zheng is not an ordinary official, and when he heard this, his face showed some displeasure:
"Lord He, the so-called human life is at stake, how can it be hastily ended in one sentence?"
"As a Zaifu, how can you treat human life like a child's play? How can you be worthy of the trust of Your Majesty and the imperial court? ”
"Please also ask Lord He to be cautious, otherwise Bao will definitely be impeached by you!"
When He Jianzhang heard this, his face suddenly darkened.
He had heard of Bao Zheng's reputation before, but he didn't expect him to be so desperate, he was taught a lesson and didn't say anything, and he was even threatened with impeachment.
It's too special not to take yourself seriously!
If he hadn't known that Bao Zheng had almost killed Cao Bin, He Jianzhang would probably suspect that the two of them had colluded with each other and wanted to deliberately plot against him.
Cao Bin had already expected Bao Zheng's reaction, and couldn't help laughing when he saw this:
"Prime Minister He, now it's not a question of whether you pursue the two generals Lin Yang or not."
"It's a matter of making Gongzi molest officials and making his subordinates attack the generals of the forbidden army."
As he spoke, he said with a bit of banter in his tone:
"Therefore, Ben Hou is very suspicious that your father and son have a conspiracy against the palace guards and forbidden army......"
Hearing this, He Jianzhang couldn't help but gasp.
With such a big hat, Cao Bin wants to put himself to death!
If this matter is really defined as a conspiracy against the forbidden army, not to mention that the ministers will desperately impeach, I am afraid that even the Queen Mother will have a bad heart.
When the time comes, let alone keep the position of Zaifu, I am afraid that it will be difficult to save even my official body and even my life.
So he hurriedly defended:
"Zhongjing Hou Xiu wants to talk nonsense, my son is a little prodigal on weekdays, and it is inevitable to make some mistakes."
"This time it's just a misunderstanding, my son happened to offend General Lin's family, how can it be said to be a conspiracy?"
Cao Bin "tsk" twice and jokingly said:
"Molesting the officials and relatives, attacking the generals of the forbidden army is just a little prodigal in the eyes of He Xiang."
"It can be seen from this that your He family's father and son are domineering on weekdays...... It's dark! ”
Saying that, he said to Bao Zheng:
"Lord Bao, Ben Hou suggests sending someone to He Xiang's hometown to investigate and collect evidence, and return the people to a bright blue sky......"
Hearing this, He Jianzhang was almost so angry that he vomited blood.
He never thought that Cao Bin would take advantage of the loophole in his words to come up with such a trick.
If I defend it or not, you can button a hat for me, one after another, why are you selling hats?
Besides, don't you know what kind of person you are? Why do you have the face to report our father and son?
Bao Zheng didn't care what he thought, and said with a serious face:
"Please rest assured that Marquis Zhongjing, Bao will send Jiang Huwei and others to personally verify it."
When He Jianzhang heard this, he was extremely depressed, but he didn't expect that he would be soft, not only did he not let Bao Zheng let go, but also caused more trouble.
These two are really inappropriate people!
So far, I can only let the Queen Mother forcibly stop it as soon as possible, and the longer the delay, the more dangerous it will be.
His son is not a good man with hard bones, if he can't withstand the pressure and charges him with some other crimes, his father and son will probably be finished immediately.
Thinking of this, He Jianzhang said coldly:
"Since Marquis Zhongjing and Lord Bao are so unsympathetic, He can only go and ask the Queen Mother to adjudicate."
As he spoke, he nodded to He Zhaoxiong again:
"My son doesn't have to worry, there is the Queen Mother and the Grand Master to call the shots for you, I see which one dares to convict you!"
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.
Cao Bin didn't care when he saw him entering the palace in a hurry, but just laughed:
"Since He Xiang is unwilling to cooperate, then Lord Bao doesn't have to go into the palace to ask for an order, but he Zhaoxiong can be interrogated first."
"Don't worry, Lord Bao, Ben Hou will fully cooperate!"
Bao Zheng didn't know whether to be relieved or speechless, he knew that Cao Bin was using him, but he didn't want to refuse.
No matter what Cao Bin's purpose was, his actions were always upholding the laws of the Great Song Dynasty......
After returning to Kaifeng Mansion with Bao Zheng, Cao Bin personally recorded a testimony, signed the painting, and then left home.
As the minister of the ruling minister, even if he is really guilty, he will not be restricted.
Although it was Cao Bin who ordered the killing, Lin Chong and Yang Zhi were also moved to see that he directly took the responsibility for the murder on themselves in his testimony.
Seeing this, Lin Chong's wife was no longer worried and afraid, and actively cooperated with Bao Zheng to try the case......
At dusk, when Cao Bin and his family were happily eating, the Funing Hall of the palace was peaceful.
As Cao Bin expected, Wang Yanling was pleasantly surprised when he received the news of He Zhaoxiong's arrest.
Soon rushed to the palace and exchanged scolding with He Jianxiong, and also scolded the Empress Dowager Pan's plan to save people.
He is the head of the political affairs hall, as long as he occupies the righteousness and has sufficient reasons, he can completely dismiss the holy decree of the Empress Dowager Pan through the political affairs hall, so that she has no way at all.
Although Empress Dowager Pan directly issued an edict, he completely ignored it.
Therefore, until Wang Yanling left satisfied, Empress Dowager Pan's face was still full of anger.
At this time, only Pan's father and daughter and He Jianzhang were left in the Funing Palace.
He Jianzhang was already a little numb, he really couldn't understand it, Wang Yanling was just that, Bao Zheng dared to directly ignore the holy decree of the Empress Dowager Pan.
Isn't he afraid of the Queen Mother's revenge afterwards?
He Jianzhang bowed down and peeked at the Empress Dowager Pan with a cold expression on the dragon chair, and said carefully:
"Queen Mother, the dog really can't be judged, otherwise Weichen will be caught by them."
"You can only ...... if you come forward in person"
Before he finished speaking, Pan Renmei, who was sitting on the side, was already annoyed and shouted:
"He Jianzhang, don't talk nonsense, what is your son, and he also deserves to be rescued by his mother?"
"If Bao Zheng still refuses to comply, won't it damage the majesty of the mother?"
He Jianzhang bent his body even lower, and said busily:
"The master forgives the sins, the master forgives the sins, and the lower officials are also afraid of disappointing the mother's hard work."
Empress Dowager Pan slammed the jade Ruyi in her hand on the table and said angrily:
"He Jianzhang, this palace has repeatedly told you to be low-key and cautious, why do you want to provoke Cao Bin?"
Seeing this, He Jianzhang suddenly fell to his knees with a "poof" and cried:
"Queen Mother, this was a misunderstanding, my son didn't know that those two people were Cao Bin's old department."
"Besides, Cao Bin is so unscrupulous and will be retribution, it is clear that he does not take Niangniang in his eyes, and hopes that Niangniang will be the master of the ministers."
Seeing that Empress Dowager Pan didn't want to come forward, he had to use a radical method, otherwise it would be difficult for not only He Zhaoxiong, but even himself to get out.
Empress Dowager Pan looked at him in disgust and said coldly:
"Shut up, who is Cao Bin, this palace knows better than you, if it weren't for your father and son to provoke him, how would he deal with you?"
If Cao Bin was hostile to He Jianzhang, as long as he joined forces with Wang Yanling to oppose it, it would be impossible for him to enter the center, so why bother to deal with him afterwards?
And she recruited Jianzhang into the political hall, firstly, she wanted to expand her power and subdue Wang Yanling, and secondly, she used the general trend to subdue Cao Bin, instead of turning him into an enemy.
If you provoke him, you will lose the help of subduing Cao Bin, not to mention the heavy support, and it will also cause quite troublesome consequences.
Therefore, her beating of Cao Bin was carefully considered, and she also thought of compensation methods.
The key is to fight but not break, hide but not send, have a degree of civil and military, and boil slowly.
Now that He Jianzhang's father and son have offended Cao Bin unplanned, if you add the previous wedding "ceremony" dispute, wouldn't it cause him to be vigilant and disgusted, making him mistakenly think that he was going to attack him?
This made Empress Dowager Pan very annoyed.
If she gave up He Jianzhang, she would be able to subdue Cao Bin, and she would prefer to compensate for the heads of He Jianzhang's father and son...... It's just that it's unlikely.
Therefore, it is necessary to protect He Jianzhang, after all, it took a lot of effort to promote him, and he can't give up the advantages he has gained.
It's just that she didn't want to provoke Cao Bin, and after pondering for a long time, Empress Dowager Pan said with cold eyes:
"Your son, you solve it yourself."
"If you want to keep your position as Zaifu, find a way to shut him up!"
Seeing that Empress Dowager Pan's apricot eyes were full of murderous intent, He Jianzhang suddenly understood her thoughts, and couldn't help but feel cold hands and feet, and his heart cramped......
