Kaifeng Mansion:

Master Bao waited until it was dark before he saw the figures of Zhanzhao and others appear at the entrance of the yamen.

Lu Bu killed Yan Xizheng and fled, which angered the emperor, not only reprimanded Shen Puxuan into the palace, but also took Lord Bao with him.

Fortunately, Lu Bu escaped before the execution, and it seems that he has little to do with the two.

However, as the two largest mansions in Bianjing City at that time, such a thing was as surprising as the loss of Concubine Liu.

"Today is the second day, if you two fail to invite back the concubine as scheduled and catch Tang Lubu's wife, I will not be lenient anymore."

The emperor's words are still in his ears, and Lord Bao is like sitting on pins and needles.

Zhanzhao walked into the lobby with several men who had been captured and a dozen women who had been rescued.

"In this way, the official's suspicion of the Peerless Master is wrong." After listening to the narration of Zhan Zhao and others, Master Bao was thoughtful.

Zhan Zhao nodded.

Bao Zheng's gaze fell on the palace maid.

"For the time being, a group of prisoners will be taken to prison, and the women will be brought into the back hall to wait for their fate." Bao Zheng said but pointed to the palace maid, "You stay, the official has something to ask you." ”

"Yes." Zhanzhao agreed, bringing in and taking everyone away.

Bao Zheng continued to stare at the palace maid's face.

"Since you are in the palace, how did you get captured by robbers and forcibly sold to others?"

The palace maid knelt on the ground, kept her head down, and when she heard the question, her body trembled slightly.

"Bao Daren Rong, the slave maid's name is Cailan, the concubine Meng is merciful, has been staying in the palace, the day before yesterday the concubine Niangniang wanted to go to Guoning Temple to incense, originally the slave and maid followed, but the slave and maid had something temporary, so they could not go along. Afterwards, the slave put on makeup and planned to catch up behind, but she didn't want to meet the gang of strongmen on the way. When those people heard that the slave maid was from the palace, they became ill-willed, so they forcibly took the slave and maid into the valley and sold it to the man named Chai Wu. If there are no heroes to save them, the slave and maid may still be bullied by Chai Wu's gang at this time. The maid replied.

Bao Zheng thought for a moment.

"Since you were intercepted by those people halfway, do you remember how many of them were and where they went afterwards?"

Cailan thought for a moment.

"At that time, the slaves and maids were so frightened that they didn't know how to count, and then they were blindfolded, and they really didn't know where they went."

"When did you hear the news that the concubine was going to Guoning Temple to make incense? How many people but you know? Bao Zheng asked again.

"It was the night before." Cailan replied, "Except for the slave maid and Ji Feng, no one else knows. ”

"In the past, when Concubine Liu went to incense, were you and Jifeng with you?"

"The slave is not as blessed as Jifeng, and she is fortunate to be taken out of the palace by the concubine, but it is the first time, I didn't expect to encounter such a thing."

Bao Zheng smiled, and suddenly slapped the table in front of him.

"Bold Cailan, since she has been taken to Kaifeng Mansion, she should truthfully confess her crimes, but she is hiding the truth here, can you know how powerful this official is?"

This angry shout made even the officials standing in the hall stunned.

"Why did the big man say this, the slave and maid didn't dare to hide it." Cailan was even more frightened and said.

Bao Zheng stood up, walked to Cailan, and suddenly leaned over to hold up her slender chin and stared at her eyes.

"If you lie in front of this official, you need to know that the consequences are serious."

Cailan dodged Bao Zheng's gaze.

"Master Bao must not frame slaves and maids."

Bao Zheng sneered.

"Since you have never followed Concubine Liu out of the palace, how can you catch up from behind? The person who rescued you was the commander of the forbidden army of the Inner Palace, and he already knew the news of the concubine's departure from the palace three days ago, but you just learned about it the night before, so in such a hurry, I'm afraid that even the items that the concubine brought when she went out could not be prepared? It's clear that you've already learned the news, but you don't dare to say it directly. Deliberately shorten the time, but what you want to hide is what you did during this period? ”

Cailan shrank back in horror.

Bao Zheng pulled her to him hard.

"Quickly, what did you do in the three days before Concubine Liu left the palace?"

Cailan had already begun to panic, and she kept her mouth shut and refused to say anything.

Bao Zheng pushed her away hard, and suddenly ordered the officer standing below, "Quickly go to the prison and bring the coachman, and ask him to confront this Cailan in front of the court." ”

The errand officer didn't understand what Master Bao meant for a while.

The person who kidnapped Concubine Liu has not been seen so far, where is the coachman?

However, these errand officials have been following Master Bao for a long time, and they also know that Master Bao is the best at deceit, seeing his heavy eyelids blinking constantly, they know that there must be a reason, so they all agreed and walked out.

But under Master Bao's command, Cailan collapsed to the ground in fright.

Naturally, she didn't know if the coachman had really been captured.

Bao Zheng deliberately sat back in the chair and took a sip of tea.

"Cailan, judging by your age, you should have followed Concubine Liu for many years, and Concubine Niangniang has always been kind to you, so why do you want to frame her like this?"

"The big and the big are aware of it, and the slaves and maids dare not do such things." Cailan said, but she no longer had the confidence she had just now.

"Still quibbling?" Bao Zheng still didn't seem to be in a hurry, "Later, the coachman will come to the court and tell you the truth, see how you can deny it?" Master Ben reads you as a female streamer and doesn't want to use heavy punishment on you, do you need to know the difference between taking the initiative to confess and being exposed? At that time, I'm afraid that Lord Ben will not be able to protect you. ”

Cailan's face turned as white as paper.

An errand officer came up at the right time and kicked her.

"You wicked woman, your lord treats you so kindly, but you don't know what to do, but you have to take a few boards on your ass before you are willing to confess?"

This kick completely kicked out Cailan's courage to deny.

"My lord is gracious, the slave and maid tell the truth, and I only hope that the slave and maid will be spared by the adult."

Master Bao showed surprise on his face, but he snorted deliberately.

"It's just up to you to say it all."

"The slave doesn't dare to hide it anymore." Cailan said in a trembling voice.

Here are Cailan's words:

"The slave maid has been following the concubine Niangniang for more than ten years, according to the mother's intentions, the slave maid has already gone out of the palace to find a good person to marry, but the concubine Niangniang does not know, the slave maid and the palace groom have already had a personal relationship, and they made an appointment to go out together, but because he has not been able to make the trip, so the slave and maid will stay with the mother. A few days ago, the slave maid learned that the concubine Niangniang wanted to go to Guoning Temple to make incense, and inadvertently mentioned it to him, who knew that he actually had the idea of Niangniang. ”

"Are you talking about the groom?" Bao Zheng asked.

"That's the man." Cailan replied, wiping a handful of cold sweat from her face, "He has known a few bandits outside for a long time, and he has received a little favor from these people. This time, those people wanted to kidnap the concubine Niangniang, and asked him to be an internal response, claiming that they could blackmail the emperor to ask for money after the matter was completed. These are not what the slaves want, but because of the coercion and intimidation of those people. ”

Bao Zheng kept staring at Cailan's face, making sure that what she said was true.

Cai Lan continued:

On that day, he personally drove to escort the concubine, and soon after leaving, the slave and maid escaped from the palace under the pretext of having something to do, and went to look for him in the agreed place. But who knows, he suddenly turned his eyes and wanted to abandon the slave and maid, but the slave and maid did not follow, and as a result, he was tied up with those bandits and forcibly sold to the valley. Last night, the slave maid was bullied by Chai Wu's gang and wanted to commit suicide, but fortunately was saved by the heroes. The words of the slave and maid are true, and I hope that the adults will see it. ”

Some people died, but not completely......
