August 14, the day before mid-autumn.

Bao Zheng, who had completed the handover of government affairs in Wucheng County, took Gongsun Ce, Zhanzhao and Wang Ma Zhang Zhao to the gate of Qianyang Palace.

"Your Majesty has a will, Xuan Bao Zheng will bring Zhan Zhao, Gongsun Ce, Wang Dynasty, Ma Han, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others into the palace to face the saint!"

Just a moment after Bao Zheng asked to see him, there was a celebrant eunuch dressed in the five-grade inner court eunuch uniform, who came to the palace gate with a dust in his arms to announce the holy message.

According to the Han system, if there is no special summoning, even Bao Zheng, who is a county commander, is not qualified to enter the palace. And at this moment, the Son of Heaven actually summoned Bao Zheng to enter the palace with his entourage, Wang Ma Zhang Zhao and the four couldn't help but show excitement, while Zhan Zhao and Gongsun Ce were expressionless and seemed to be thoughtful. Only Bao Zheng, who had a dark face, had a stern face and a solemn expression.

At the moment, the eunuch led the way, the calm Bao Zheng followed with his head held high, Zhan Zhao and Gongsun Ce followed closely around Lord Bao, and the four entourages of Wang Ma and Zhang Zhao walked last. All the way through the Xuanwu Gate, into the majestic Qianyang Palace, all the way, the heart was deeply shocked by the majestic grandeur of the palace.

"Hey...... Why do you say that Your Majesty knows the names of our little errands? ”

Halfway through, Zhang Long couldn't hold back the question in his heart anymore, smashed the dynasty next to him with his elbow, and asked with a surprised expression.

Wang Dynasty glanced at Zhang Long with his eyes, and signaled him not to gossip more, the wall has ears and does not speak, and if he is angry, he will not be able to eat and walk around, "Your Majesty has a Jinyi guard by his side, and it is not easy to investigate what is going on?" Since His Majesty wants to summon us to Bao County, he will naturally investigate clearly! ”

Zhang Long nodded in agreement with the dynasty's analysis, but showed a worried look: "You said that Your Majesty suddenly summoned a small county order. And if the master, the head catcher and even the messenger are all summoned to the palace, will there be a catastrophe? ”

"What do you mean by that?" Zhao Hu next to him couldn't help but interject quietly.

Zhang Long said in a low voice: "Have you forgotten a case that Lord Bao tried a few days ago? There is a small number of people who bully others and rob people's houses. He was sentenced to the punishment of cane. But do you know who this man is? ”

"What identity, I really haven't heard of it?" Mahan, who had been walking with his backbone straight, was also interested.

Zhang Long lowered his voice and whispered: "You fought happily when you were executed, and now I am afraid that it will scare you if you say it!" It turned out that this gentleman was the grandson of Lu Kang, the captain of the dynasty, and his mother was the third daughter of Lu Taiwei. Speaking of which, Concubine Wu De still has to call this gentleman a cousin! ”

"Ah......?"

Listening to Zhang Long's words, Wang Dynasty, Ma Han, and Zhao Hu couldn't help but change color at the same time, and the excitement just now was suddenly thrown to Java, and they all showed anxious looks. "It's over, it's over...... I thought that Master Bao was going to soar today, it seems that nine times out of ten there is a catastrophe coming! ”

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided. Hugh is going to talk nonsense! Gongsun Ce heard the discussion of the four people, turned his head and snorted softly.

"I'm not worried about myself, it's all a small errand boy, and it's a big deal not to do it. I'm just worried that I will ruin Lord Bao's future, it's rare to have such an upright official in the world! Wang Dynasty took over the conversation and showed the mentality of the four.

Bao Zheng listened in front and stopped. Turning his head, he glanced at Wang Ma and Zhang Zhao, and said loudly: "This official actually knew the identity of that gentleman for a long time, and the reason why he didn't tell you was because he was afraid that his subordinates would show mercy when he was executed." The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, how can this official open his face because the criminal is a relative of the emperor? I'm sitting upright. Look up to the sky, bow to the ground, and stand up to the heart! If His Majesty is to dismiss Bao Zheng from his official position. Bao Zheng has nothing to say! ”

"Haha...... Lord Bao's words were impassioned and loud. In the future, he will definitely be a pillar of the imperial court! ”

Just when Bao Zheng and the others stopped talking, a big eunuch suddenly came to them. Behind him were two little eunuchs. Before the man arrived, he praised him from afar.

Bao Zheng hurriedly turned around and made a salute: "The little official is just talking about things according to the facts, talking about what he thinks in his heart, if there is an abrupt father-in-law, please Haihan!" ”

The eunuch who led the way hurriedly saluted Zheng He, and introduced to Bao Zheng: "This is the head of the eunuchs of Qianyang Palace, and the regular servant Zheng Gonggong of the third grade, and the hundred officials have to be polite when they see him." With a few kind words for you, Gonggong Zheng will definitely make you prosperous! ”

Bao Zheng was not flattering, bowed and said: "The little official Bao Zheng is so polite!" ”

Zheng He returned the salute with a dust in his arms: "Your Majesty is afraid that Lord Bao's entourage will not dare to enter the Qianyang Palace because of doubts, so he specially sent this attendant to summon again." Hehe...... Listening to His Majesty's words, I appreciate Lord Bao very much, I am afraid that if I don't use the good words of this servant, Lord Bao will be flat and green! ”

Listening to Zheng He's words, Zhan Zhao and Gongsun Ceju both breathed a sigh of relief, and Wang Ma and Zhang Zhao turned their worries into joy, secretly clenching their fists and rejoicing, they finally didn't follow the wrong person.

Only Bao Heizi looked calm, as if what Zheng He said had nothing to do with him: "If you are supported by Your Majesty, Bao Zheng will definitely do his best and enforce the law impartially." If His Majesty surrenders, Bao Zheng should also accept it calmly, and dare not have slanderous words! ”

Zheng He nodded slightly, and said politely: "Lord Bao, please!" ”

"Gonggong Zheng, please!"

Although Bao Zheng was upright, he was still very polite to the chief eunuch of Qianyang Palace, and he didn't dare to be arrogant, so he stretched out his hand to signal Zheng He to go first. At that moment, the two walked side by side and went straight to Hanyuan Palace, followed by Zhanzhao, Gongsun Ce and others.

At this moment, it was close to noon, and the early dynasty had retreated for an hour, and Bao Zheng, as the county order, was not qualified to enter the Taiji Palace. Therefore, after Liu Wei retired from the dynasty, he came to Hanyuan Hall to meet Bao Zheng and his party.

"The little minister Bao Zheng pays a visit to His Majesty, may my emperor live long live long live!"

As soon as Bao Zheng entered the Hanyuan Palace, he knelt on the ground under the guidance of Zheng He, while Zhanzhao, Gongsun Ce and other six people knelt on the ground together to bow and bow.

Liu Wei was full of spring breeze, his eyes were like torches, he put down the fold in his hand, and carefully examined the "Kaifeng Mansion Group of Seven" kneeling on the ground.

I saw that Bao Zheng was about thirty years old, and his complexion was slightly whiter than that of purebred Africans, but he had thick eyebrows and big eyes. The appearance is dignified, and he is not angry and arrogant. In particular, there is a crescent-shaped scar on the forehead. It is almost exactly the same as depicted in the wild history, which makes Liu Wei want to ask Master Bao. "Can you really judge the sun during the day and cut off the yin at night?"

The head catcher on the left is about twenty-five or sixteen years old, about seven feet five inches tall, born with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, heroic posture, wearing a long sword at his waist, and his bearing is extraordinary. A weak scholar on the right is white and clean, with three locks of beard hanging on his chin. I think it's Gongsun Ce. The last four public face officers, you don't have to think about it, they must be the "Dynasty, Ma Han, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu!" ”

"Test the four dimensions of Zhanzhao and the other six people for this host!" Just as Bao Zheng and the other four knelt on the ground, Liu Wei quietly gave instructions to the system.

"Ding-dong...... Gongsun Ce - 38 in force, 56 in command, 91 in intelligence, and 82 in politics."

"Zhan Zhao - 96 in force, 78 in command, 79 in intelligence. 政zhì54. ”

"Zhanzhao's Special Attribute 1: Street Fighting - When fighting in courtyards, alleys, houses and other terrain, force +3."

"Zhanzhao's special attribute two: royal cat - talented in espionage, assassination, and climbing, light as a swallow, walking like the wind."

"Hmm. This Zhan Xiongfei is a good talent, and he will be transferred to the Jinyi Wei Yamen later as Li Yuanfang's deputy. Liu Wei groaned secretly in his heart.

"Dynasty - Armed Forces 81. Command 65, intelligence 72. 政zhì 48. ”

"Mahan - 77 in force, 59 in command. Intelligence 65, politics zhì 40."

"Zhang Long - 75 in force, 55 in command, 58 in intelligence, and 36 in politics."

"Zhao Hu - 74 in force, 63 in command, 68 in intelligence, and 49 in politics."

Liu Wei withdrew from the system, beckoned Bao Zheng and the others to get up, first said a few polite words, and then went straight to the point: "I have heard about your severe punishment of Lu's relatives, and I am deeply pleased with your impartial law enforcement and unafraid of power!" Now, the relatives of the emperor of Jinling City, and the families of high-ranking officials are everywhere, so I need an upright person to sit in Jinling and maintain the regime. I decided to add Bao Zheng as the governor of Jinling Prefecture, to take charge of the local government, and to play local affairs directly to me! ”

After three or four years of development, this small county town with less than 20,000 inhabitants, originally called Moling, has become a large metropolis with a population of more than 300,000. The population is dense, the business is developed, the three religions and nine streams, and the sons of hundreds of schools of thought, all gather here.

Since the emperor has set the capital here, the families of those emperor's concubines. For example, the clansmen of the Empress Dowager, the clansmen of Empress Tang Wan, the relatives of the virtuous concubine Mu Guiying, plus Feng Yu, the foot trainer, Mi Zhen and other harem concubines flocked to Jinling like a tide to come to Jinling. Coupled with Concubine Wu Ruyi, as well as local forces such as local wealthy families, as well as the family members and relatives of the Manchu Dynasty, for a time Jinling City was mixed, and the good and the bad were mixed.

Where there are people, there are grievances, so many dignitaries and nobles, royal relatives and relatives gathered in one city; It is not uncommon for you to fight against each other for a long time, and you hit me today and I beat you tomorrow. The son of a wealthy family, the young master of the gentleman relies on the family power, bullying men and women, and it is not uncommon for the open fire to fight. From time to time, this kind of cumbersome recital was sent to Liu Wei's table.

At the beginning, when Lu Kang and Di Renjie served as Jianye Taishou respectively, they could suppress it with their own influence or iron-blooded means, and they didn't let such trivial things disturb the emperor. But with Lu Kang's promotion to the rank of lieutenant and Di Renjie sitting in the Criminal Department, bloody cases in Jinling are not uncommon, and every once in a while the emperor will be alarmed.

For this reason, Liu Wei changed Jianye Taishou and Jinling County Orders many times, but those who went to the post all had headaches and faced huge pressure. Either he resigned voluntarily, or he was timid, and he angered Liu Wei by looking ahead and looking back, and he was demoted and dismissed, and he was never hired.

After more than a year, Liu Wei was also heartbroken for the bad things in Jinling City. It is for this reason that when Bao Zheng was summoned, Liu Wei was full of joy. In the past few days, he announced his decision in the court, abolished Jianye County and Jinling County, and changed Jinling Mansion, and the local governor was called Fu Yin, and still governed the original Jianye County; But it no longer belongs to the jurisdiction of Yangzhou Assassin History, but reports directly to the emperor.

After listening to the emperor's explanation, Rao is Bao Zheng's face was solemn, and his heart was also full of joy, and he immediately knelt down to thank him: "The minister is willing to swear to die for His Majesty's loyalty, although he has done his best, he will never give up!" ”

Zhan Zhao, Gongsun Ce, Wang Ma Zhang Zhao and other four people knelt down with Bao Zheng to thank him, and at the same time gave him his own pleasure points, which was a gift package of sixty pleasure points at once, so that Liu Wei's total pleasure points increased to 94 again.

"There is a shortage of people in my brocade guards, how about borrowing Zhan Zhuangshi for the time being?" Liu Wei smiled and put forward his request euphemistically.

"Zhan Xiongfei has a skill, he is very talented under the hands of Xiao Chen, and now he can show his ambitions, Bao Zheng is naturally happy for him!" Mr. Bao readily agreed.

Although Zhan Zhao was silent, he was overjoyed in his heart, and he gave up his hand: "The minister is willing to obey the dispatch of His Majesty!" ”

Liu Wei sat down and ordered aloud again: "Bao Zheng listens to the order, I have decided to give you three guillotines, a dragon head guillotine, a tiger head guillotine, and a dog head guillotine." If anyone commits a crime or violates the law, he will be served with a sword. The head of the dragon is a relative of the emperor, the tiger head is a high-ranking official and nobleman, the dog head is a pawn, the law is ruthless, I hope you will enforce the law impartially, punish the evil and promote the good! ”

"Obey the order!" Bao Zheng was overjoyed and knelt on the ground again and kowtowed.

Zhan Zhao, Gongsun Ce, Wang Ma Zhang Zhao and other six people followed and bowed again, and at the same time chanted "Your Majesty Xià Wise".

Bao Heizi took office as the governor of Jinling Mansion, and the news that he was given three guillotines quickly spread widely, and it spread throughout Jinling City in one day. The mentality of the three religions and nine streams who got the news is different, there are those who are sincere and fearful, there are those who have nothing to do with themselves, there are those who ride donkeys to watch the song, and there are also those who disdain.
