Chapter 170: Bao Qingtian discusses the black demon fox
After hearing what Zhihua said, Bao Gongwen nodded and said: "Although what you said is incredible, I think it is somewhat credible. However, I think about it according to the method of adjudicating cases on a daily basis, and I feel that there are still three doubts in it."
Zhihua listened to Bao Gong's words, and said suspiciously: "If you have any doubts, please make it clear." ”
Bao Gong stretched out his hand to pick up the tea bowl and found that the water was already cold. Zhihua hurriedly turned around and went out, and after a while, he brought back a pot of hot water, and then took out a small paper bag from his arms, and inside the small paper bag was a small handful of tea. Zhihua twisted a little of the tea leaves and put them into the teapot, and after brewing for a while, he said to Bao Gong: "Xiangye take a sip of my tea, and then talk slowly." ”
Bao Gong was not polite, reached out and picked up the teacup and took a sip, and then said slowly: "It's really good tea, it's much better than the tribute tea rewarded by the palace."
Zhihua grinned and said: "Adults don't know, tribute tea, it's all old tea." The salt tea transfer envoy on Huainan East Road was killed and did not dare to serve new tea to the emperor. ”
"Why is that?" asked Master Bao with interest.
"If the emperor drinks new tea every year, in case the water and soil are not good that year, and the days are not smooth. If the tea is not harvested or the traffic is not smooth, the tea will be drunk by the emperor if it is not good, and won't it be impossible to deal with it when the time comes? If it is old tea, there will be no such problems. Zhihua also took a sip of the teacup.
Master Bao looked at Zhihua and smiled: "No wonder, it seems that this is also a way to do things for officials." ”
"yes, yes. Zhihua also picked up the teacup and took a sip, and then sat down and said: "The tea has also been drunk, Xiangye, please tell me about it, what are the doubts?"
Bao Gong also said with a straight face: "If you talk about doubts, there are three in total." The first is the goal. From the perspective of judging the case, you said that my disciple Yan Chasan was the one behind the scenes. But what is the purpose of his actions? As you said, it is to disrupt the entire martial arts and control the rivers and lakes? This purpose is inconsistent with the actions you said they have taken. ”
Bao Gong said this, picked up the teacup and took another sip, and then Shi Shiran said: "If you want to calm the rivers and lakes, no one can do this." Because even this church knows that some people have rivers and lakes, and it is not directly related to whether they practice martial arts. However, if you want to control or weaken these martial arts sects, there are easier ways. When Bao Gong said this, he glanced at Zhihua before continuing: "If the imperial court wants to deal with the rivers and lakes, the best way is to use it together. On the one hand, he sent troops to encircle and suppress, even though some masters were able to escape, most ordinary disciples could not leave. On the other hand, a decree was issued prohibiting people from practicing martial arts privately, and some masters were bribed at high prices to open official martial arts halls or martial arts halls. In less than five years, the big thing can be decided. ”
Zhihua nodded when he heard this: "What Xiang Ye said is reasonable, that is to say, the purpose of Yan Chasan and others is not to pacify the martial arts rivers and lakes, but to have other plans. ”
Bao Gong nodded noncommittally and continued: "This second suspicion is people, you say that the person who manipulates behind the scenes is my disciple Yan Chasan, which in itself does not make sense. Your evidence is nothing more than a few words that Monk Fahui said to Zhanyuan, but it is difficult to distinguish between the truth and falsehood of his words, how do you know that he is not lying to you? Furthermore, how do you know that Monk Fahui really knows the truth?"
"Xiangye means that there is someone behind Yan Chasan?" Zhihua frowned, staring at Bao Gong and asked.
"This is what you want to investigate, and this parish is just raising suspicions. Bao Gong waved his hand and said: "Now you are here to complain to the church, the evidence is naturally up to you to find, and the hall is just a reminder for you." Yan Chasan is just a scholar, even if he hides peerless martial arts, in my opinion, he is not qualified to manipulate such a big matter. ”
Zhihua shook his head and said: "I don't think so, Fa Hui said that Yan Chasan was acquainted by the emperor when he was the crown prince in the shallow mansion, so he trusted him with a heavy responsibility, and he was naturally invincible with the emperor's support." ”
"That's one of the reasons why I suspect that Monk Nafa Hui is lying. Bao Gong said: "You, the Dongfang Hero, should know about the case of the tanuki changing the prince that was tried in this hall, right? The problem lies in this, now Your Majesty grew up in the Eight Princes' Mansion, and the first emperor only passed when he was seriously ill, and he has been the prince in the shallow palace for less than three months, where can you have time to get acquainted with Yan Chasan? And more importantly, if Your Majesty wants to carry out such a big thing, how can he use Yan Chasan? The executor of this kind of thing needs to have a reputation in the court and in the rivers and lakes. Without the support of the court, the following practical actions will be very obstructed, and without the prestige of the rivers and lakes, it will be difficult to recruit masters. Therefore, Yan Chasan is not a suitable candidate. ”
Zhihua suddenly realized when he heard this: "Xiangye means that there is someone behind Yan Chasan? and even said ......"
"It is even said that it is possible that Yan Chasan is not behind the current emperor! Someone is pretending to be the emperor to control Yan Chasan to carry out this plan, so as to achieve some purpose. Bao Gong said solemnly: "This is the third doubt I want to say, and it is also the reason why I can calmly listen to you say this today, and also help you analyze it." With the relationship between the current son and the Eighth Prince, he will definitely not allow the Eighth Prince's danger! Therefore, although the incident of the Eighth Prince's Fight was carried out by Yan Chasan, it should not be out of His Majesty's will. So I now suspect that someone is using the name of the Son of Heaven to control Yan Chasan to achieve some ulterior purposes. ”
Zhihua glanced at Bao Gong deeply, sighed and said, "Xiangye is really loyal, and Zhi admires him." However, Zhi Mou had some clues that he had sorted out, but now these three doubts have been mixed up again. ”
Bao Gong shook his head and said: "You can check how you want, just now this hall said, I can only raise doubts, but the evidence can only be found by you, and this hall will never help you find it." Moreover, you have arrested the Eighth Prince, and you have committed a mortal crime, and this church will still bring you to justice. ”
This Zhi naturally understands that Zhi does not dare or forget the name of Xiangye Qingtian. Zhihua said, got up and bowed to Bao Gong, and then said: "This late-night visit, I took the liberty to disturb it, and Zhi first made amends to Xiangye." When we find evidence in the future, we will naturally present it to Xiangye. With that, Zhihua turned around and walked out of Bao Gong's study, turned around and took Bao Gong to close the door, and then flew up to the room and left Kaifeng Mansion along the roof.
Zhihua walked out of the street three times in a hurry, and then stopped on the top of a small two-story building. I saw a person leaning on the chimney of the small building, not a bystander, it was Zhanyuan.
Zhan Yuan looked up and saw that Zhihua was coming, and smiled at him: "You can really talk, this is past the ugly time." Tomorrow, Lord Bao will be sleepless!"
Zhihua shook his head and said: "Bao Xiangye is indeed a master, many things that I didn't take into account, Xiangye has seen them all, no wonder the name of Qingtian." While talking about Zhihua, he shook his head and sighed.
Zhan Yuan looked at Zhile, clapped his hands and smiled: "I didn't expect that you dignified black vixen, someone finally convinced you, rare, rare! haha......"
Zhihua glared at him and said, "You don't laugh, you just haven't seen Bao Xiangye's bearing." Where are you? You didn't hurt anyone, did you?"
"No, no, no. Zhan Yuan put away his smile and said: "I put Zhong Lin and Jiang Xiaoyi in front of the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, and then fought with Brother Ouyang for three hundred rounds, and the captains and soldiers of Kaifeng Mansion were all led out by me, and I just ran away." I let Brother Ouyang chase me for half of the capital, and then I got rid of him. ”
"Well, I said how did I talk to Xiangye so smoothly. Zhihua smiled: "Sure enough, you still have the ability." ”
Zhihua said, got up with Zhanyuan, jumped all the way over the ridge, and then climbed over the wall of the capital, and arrived outside the city, and then went all the way to the west, ready to go to Xishan Pass. As soon as the two of them were less than half a mile out of the city, Zhanyuan suddenly stopped Zhihua and shouted in a deep voice: "Brother Zhi, there is an ambush." Zhihua was startled and hurriedly stopped.
At this time, I heard someone laughing in the woods, this voice was very weird, obviously full of energy, but it was very feminine - "It is worthy of being a dignified Penglai swordsman, and it was discovered by you like this!"
Zhan Yuan and the others hurriedly shook their faces to take a look, and saw seven or eight people walking out of the woods. The leader was in his forties, with a fair complexion, delicate facial features, oily hair and powdery face, a small black beard on his lips, a scribe's uniform, and a small folding fan in his hand. The people behind him were all dressed in black clothes and black pants, dressed as samurai. All of them had cold faces and no expressions. What is very special about these people is that some of them carry swords, some carry swords, some carry shields, and some carry guns.
Zhihua recognized the scribe at a glance, and shouted, "Yan Chasan!" Zhan Yuan was also taken aback when he heard that it was actually this person.
Yan Chasan smiled slightly: "The black demon fox is the black demon fox, I originally thought that I could only block Zhan Xiongjie, but I didn't expect that even the black demon fox would send it to the door by himself, it really took no effort to break through the iron shoes and find nowhere to get it!." ”
Zhihua sighed and said: "It seems that you left your eyeliner in Kaifeng Mansion, so you will know that Zhanyuan is disturbing in front of the mansion, and this is the temporary bureau, right?
"Sure enough, it's the Black Demon Fox, in a word!" Yan Chasan said with a smile: "But this master was not recruited by me, but just happened to meet him." Saying that, he shouted behind Zhanyuan and the others: "Old swordsman Wang, people have already discovered you, so come out." ”
"Hmph, what's the use of finding me at this time?" As soon as Yan Chasan's voice fell, a person came down from the tree behind Zhan Yuan and the others, and this person walked in front of Zhan Yuan and the two with a smile. The one who came was so weird-looking, I saw that he was not too tall, about seven feet, and his shoulders were extremely broad. Looking at the face, it is a concave face, the head is protruding, the chin is upturned, a pair of deep eye sockets under the protruding head are inlaid with a pair of sparkling chicken eyes, bar eyebrows, hooked nose, water chestnut mouth, long upper lip, short lower lip, showing neat and shining white teeth, and two large fan ears. The shawl was scattered, the hair was rolled out, and it hadn't been washed once in a few years, and one ball at a time, and a leather strip was strangled on the door of the head, and it was caught. He was wearing a black robe, fat, big, dirty and torn, with a hemp rope tied around his waist, and barefoot underneath, and the whole person looked like a beast.
If you ask who the person is, and look at the next breakdown!
