Chapter 34: Further Escalation (1)
Things escalated further.
Originally, it was just Bao Yulan and Bao Yutian who wanted to say that Linghu Shou, Langxing, and Ye Dutou had no ability, but it turned out that Bao Yulan and Bao Yutian harbored criminals.
……
Ling Hushou also wanted to escalate this matter further.
He also wanted to involve the county magistrate in this matter.
What is Ling Hushou going to do?
It's not what Ling Hu Shou is going to do, it's what Ling Hu Shou's father Ling Hu Bozhong is going to do.
Ling Hu Shou's father Ling Hu Bozhong is ambitious.
Ling Hu Bozhong has always wanted to sit on the throne of the county lord
Ling Hushou wanted to use this matter to bring down the county lord and let his father be the throne of the county lord.
It is very easy to get the county magistrate involved in this matter, as soon as the matter of Bao Yulan and Bao Yutian harboring criminals is confirmed, the county magistrate is the father of Bao Yulan and Bao Yutian, and the county magistrate can't get rid of the relationship if he wants to.
Your son harbors criminals, you can't tell what you say.
……
Ling Hushou asked Zhang Qian and Li Wan to guard here, and he saw his father go.
Linghu Shou came to Linghu Manor.
Ling Hu Shou saw his father, Ling Hu Bozhong.
Ling Hu Bozhong saw his son smile happily, and he asked his son: "Son, is there something wrong?" ”
Ling Hushou said: "Yes." ”
Linghu Bozhong said: "What's the matter? ”
Ling Hu Shou told Ling Hu Bozhong about Bao Yulan and Bao Yutian's hidden sand tiger, and Ling Hu Bozhong also smiled.
Ling Hu Bo Zhong smiled more happily than Ling Hu Shou.
Ling Hu Bozhong said: "Okay. ”
……
Why is Ling Hu Bozhong so happy?
Ling Hu Bozhong understood the decrees of the imperial court, and if the family members of the officials were at fault, the officials would be dismissed.
It is not a small mistake to harbor criminals, and as soon as Bao Xu's (county master)'s son harboring criminals is confirmed, Bao Xu's county master will definitely not be able to do it.
The court officials must be very loyal to the court.
The criminals were all disloyal to the imperial court.
Your son and the criminals are in the same group, and you still want to continue to be the county master?
Once Bao Xu can't become the county master, Bao Xu was exposed by me, and the county master is mine.
That's why Fox Bozhong is so happy.
……
Things are getting bigger.
The matter involves the county master again.
……
After Ling Hu Bozhong knew that Bao Yulan and Bao Yutian had "harbored criminals", he immediately went to see the prefect.
The prefect is in the river house.
Ling Hu Bozhong came to Hezhong Mansion.
Ling Hu Bozhong is a person with status, and it is not difficult for him to meet the prefect.
Linghu Bozhong saw the prefect.
After Ling Hu Bozhong saw the prefect, he told the prefect about Bao Yulan and Bao Yutian's "harboring criminals", and the prefect attached great importance to that matter.
Criminals are regarded as rebellions, harboring criminals is also regarded as rebellion, and the sons of subordinates harboring criminals are of course very important to the prefect.
The son of the subordinate is suspected of rebellion, he doesn't care, he has great responsibility.
After the prefect knew about Bao Yulan and Bao Yutian, the sons of the county magistrate of Qingshui County, who were "harboring criminals", he immediately got up and went to Qingshui County to investigate the matter.
……
Let's talk about Xiao Baozhuang.
Bao Yulan and Bao Yutian originally wanted to hide the sand tiger, saying that the sand tiger was caught by them, let the father give credit to himself, and let the father punish Ling Hushou, Langxing, and Ye Dutou, but they didn't expect Ling Hushou to get involved in that matter, and Ling Hushou arranged a lot of soldiers around Xiao Baozhuang.
When Bao Yutian and Bao Yulan saw that, they were a little blue-eyed.
They understood: Ling Hushou wanted to say that we harbored criminals.
Harbouring criminals is not a trivial matter.
Once the harboring of criminals is confirmed, Dad can't save him, and even Dad will be affected.
Seeing this, Bao Yulan and Bao Yutian discussed what to do together.
Bao Yulan said: "Ling Hushou is too bold, I am the son of the county master, and he dares to surround my village!" ”
Bao Yutian said: "This Linghu Shou is angry with me." ”
"Brother, what should I do?"
"It's a little tricky."
"What? Something tricky? ”
"Linghu Shou has set his sights on you and me, they say that you and I are harboring criminals, which is a little difficult."
"Our dad is the county master, let's not be afraid of him, let's go to my dad and say, anyway, catching Shahu is just to grab merit, not the so-called harboring criminals, I don't believe that our dad can face him!"
"It's late."
"What? Late? ”
"When he asked us for a sand tiger, he said okay. At that time, when he asked us for Shahu, we said no, but now it's too late. If he says that now, he will say why he didn't say that then, and now he can't escape it. ”
"Our father is the county master, are we still afraid of him?"
"Although our father is the county master, don't we have no officials? He is the deputy head of the capital, there is no official on the head of the two of us, and if there is no official on the head, the common people will have to listen to him. ”
"I listened to you to make it like this. Why didn't you think about it when you came up with that idea? ”
"Now let me think about it."
"You know now that you're thinking about it?"
The two discussed for a long time, but they didn't come up with a good solution.
In the end, the two discussed, let's go to my father, it seems that my father has to deal with this matter.
The two of them discussed: Bao Yulan looked at Shahu in Xiaobaozhuang on the one hand, and dealt with Linghu Shou's siege soldiers on the other, and Bao Yutian went to find his father.
……
Bao Yutian took two entourages to the entrance of Xiaobaozhuang.
Only when you get out of Xiaobaozhuang can you find your father.
Bao Yutian went to Zhuangkou to take a look, and he saw Zhang Qian guarding there.
Zhang Qian and Li Wan are guarding in shifts, and now Zhang Qian should be there to guard.
Zhang Qian looked at Bao Yutian, and he hurriedly went over to pay his respects.
"Hello Mr. Bao."
Bao Yutian said: "I'm not good. Our brother made it hard for the family to be bullied. ”
Zhang Qian said: "Master Bao is really joking. ”
"Zhang Qian, what are you doing here?"
"I was ordered by the deputy head of the fox to capture the sand tiger here."
"Catch the sand tiger here?"
"Yes."
"Is there a sand tiger here?"
"Back to the words of the eldest prince Bao, Ye Dutou, Deputy Lang Dutou, and Linghu Deputy Dutou have arranged people at various intersections to prevent Shahu from running around and doing evil everywhere, and I happened to be arranged here."
Bao Yu Tianxin said: I don't chew the root of my tongue with you, I'll do my business quickly.
Bao Yutian said: "Do you see that I am a sand tiger? Do you see these two people behind me are sand tigers? If not, can we go through here? ”
Zhang Qian said: "Master Bao is really joking. Mr. Bao is really joking. ”
Zhang Qian saw that there was no sand tiger behind Bao Yutian.
Bao Yutian passed past Zhang Qian.
……
Bao Yutian looked for his father.
Bao Yutian came to the county office, and he saw his father.
The county magistrate saw that his son's dark color was wrong, so he asked his son: "Son, what's wrong?" ”
Bao Yutian said: "Dad, something happened. ”
The county magistrate said, "What's wrong?" ”
"Linghu Shou caught Shahu, Shahu ran my brother's Xiaobaozhuang, I happened to be in Xiaobaozhuang, my brother and I saw Shahu and arrested Shahu, Linghushou asked us for Shahu, we didn't give it to him."
"Is there any need for this to be in such a hurry?"
"And.".
"What else?"
"Ling Hushou saw that we didn't hand over the sand tiger, maybe he heard something, maybe he knew that the sand tiger was with our brother, he sent people to surround Xiao Baozhuang, he ......, he said that our brother harbored criminals."
