Chapter 831: Frozen Bones

Autumn has come to an end, and the situation in the capital has undergone great changes.

Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu and others were successively expelled from the imperial court, while officials like Lu Yijian were reinstated.

After Ouyang Xiu left the capital, Bao Zheng took the position of Ouyang Xiu's Kaifeng Mansion Yin, which was unexpected.

When the imperial court announced this appointment, the entire court was shocked, and then many people discussed, saying that Bao Zheng was just a small supervising imperial history before, why did he suddenly rise so many levels to become the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion?

The court officials have quite an opinion on this, but in this matter, the emperor Zhao Zhen is still a little courageous, he insisted on his decision, and the reason why this is the case is naturally his reason.

A number of loyal ministers in the DPRK and China have been expelled from other places, if the capital is not controlled by an iron-faced and selfless person like Bao Zheng, what kind of system will it be? Although Zhao Zhen can't withstand the false accusations of many people against Ouyang Xiu, Fan Zhongyan and others, he still has the ability to promote talents like Bao Zheng.

The ministers of the court were very opposed at first, but later when they saw that the emperor insisted, the prestigious Eight Sages King affirmed that these people in the court gradually dispelled the idea of opposition.

Moreover, as time went by, they also had to dispel this idea, because after Bao Zheng became the post of Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, he immediately rectified all kinds of forces in the capital, and investigated and interrogated the unjust prison for several days.

Suddenly, Bao Zheng's name of Qingtian spread all over the capital.

After having the support of the people, those officials in the court have nothing to say.

In the blink of an eye, in the early winter, the capital is colder, and it is often cloudy, as if it is going to rain, and it seems to be snowing, and the pedestrians on the street are wearing coats and looking much more bloated.

Since Bao Zheng became the governor of Kaifeng Mansion, Hua Lang has also helped Bao Zheng handle several cases, but more often, he still stays at home to rest, after all, when it comes to winter, people become lazy.

In the evening of this day, the wind and clouds were low, there were few pedestrians on the street, Hua Lang and Wen Meng and others sat in the living room talking and laughing, a cold wind blew into the living room, so that everyone couldn't help but feel a chill, everyone shivered, Yin Wuxian got up and was about to close the door, he walked to the door, looked out, and saw scattered snowflakes floating in the courtyard, although the snowflakes were not very big, but they also made this winter have a unique charm.

"It's snowing!" Yin Wuxian put one hand on the door and couldn't help shouting.

As soon as they heard that it was snowing, everyone ran out to check, only to see that it was really snowing in the sky, and it meant that it was getting bigger and bigger.

This is the first snow of this winter, everyone is a little excited, Hua Lang sat in the living room, said with a smile: "If you want snow in the evening, you can drink a glass of nothing, and it would be great if a friend visited." ”

Hearing Hua Lang say this, Wen Meng suddenly smiled: "It's not easy to want friends to come, just invite your righteous brothers and them." ”

Everyone likes to be lively, which is naturally understandable, so Hua Lang hurriedly sent someone to ask Bao Zheng.

But when the man sent came back after a long time, he was alone.

Everyone was a little surprised, this Bao Zhengke had never refused Hualang's invitation, why didn't he come today, could it be that now that he is the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, he looks down on these brothers and friends?

But this thought only passed for a moment, because everyone knew very well that Bao Zheng was not the kind of person who hated the poor and loved the rich, and there must be a major reason why he didn't come.

After seeing Hua Lang, the person sent replied: "Lord Bao said that now the capital is afraid that the capital is facing an unprecedented heavy snowfall, in order to avoid accidents among the people in this heavy snow, he must take precautions and send quilts to those poor people, and there is really no Yaxing to drink." ”

It turned out to be for the people of the capital, after everyone heard it, they were quickly relieved, Bao Zheng, as the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, can think about the people, they should be happy, how can they blame him?

The snow was really heavy, and by the end of the day, a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the ground, and the branches of the trees in the courtyard were also a layer of silver and white, which looked like a work of art.

Tonight was cold, after everyone had dinner and played, they hurried back to their respective rooms, they didn't expect that the winter in the capital would be so cold.

And even colder are those who don't even have a quilt at night.

It snowed all night, and the next day the sky was fine, everyone pushed open the door and looked out, only to see that the entire world was covered by heavy snow, and all they saw was white.

But just when everyone was enjoying the winter snow like this, a servant hurriedly came and said that Bao Zheng was invited.

He didn't come to invite Bao Zheng to drink here last night, why did he come to invite them to the government so early today? Is it to make amends?

On the way to the government with the officer, the officer said that early this morning, someone found a body on the street, the body was covered with heavy snow, it may have frozen to death, or it may have been murdered, so the person who found the body reported the matter to the government office, after Bao Zheng listened, for fear of any accident, he ordered someone to carry the body back to the government office, and now to see whether the body was murdered, it depends on Hua Lang's skills.

When they heard that a corpse had been found, Hua Lang and the others were shocked, so they hurriedly quickened their pace.

After coming to the mansion, Bao Zheng hurriedly greeted him, and as soon as he came up, he said: "Brother Hua, you are finally here, take a look at the corpse, whether it was frozen to death or murdered." ”

Hua Lang naturally didn't dare to slack off, and asked as he walked towards the place where the body was stored, "Have you ever posted a notice for the deceased's family to identify the body?" ”

Bao Zheng nodded: "I posted it early in the morning, but there is no news so far." ”

Hua Lang frowned, and at this time, they had come to the corpse, Hua Lang fixed his eyes to look, only to see that the deceased was an old man in his sixties, skinny, but he had been buried in the snow for too long, and his body was frozen and swollen, so it looked like a very strange visual feeling.

Because the impact of the corpse was too great, people couldn't stand it for a while, Wen Meng said even more angrily: "How can such an old man walk on the street at night, doesn't he have a home?" ”

Everyone is also thinking about this problem, it is already dark when the snow starts, and whether the old man freezes to death or is murdered, it should be at night.

No one could answer Wen Meng's question, so they could only wait for Hua Lang to finish examining the corpse before making other decisions.

And Hua Lang looked at the corpse, but he couldn't do it for a long time, because he really didn't want to know the result of the Dao.
