Master Bao was going to step on a little, so he went to the yamen to see where it was. When I saw the doors in front of the Yamen, these men were all greedy and betrayed the law.

This is Zhou Cheng's wife's uncle, surnamed Zhu Da Worm, and Zhou Cheng tried his best to protect it in front of Hu Lai. Hu Lai ordered him to do this errand, and if he obeyed Zhou Cheng's wishes, there was no obstacle. Who knew that since Zhu Daworm's incident, those landlords and gentry had to give him the usual silver.

At this time, seeing that Master Bao came to the number, he didn't know that he was the new prefect, and he doubted that he was begging the county magistrate, and he also knew the rules of this door, and sent him some money. At that time, he saw that the doorman had come to pay respects, and immediately ordered someone to ask for it. Because he is an official of the imperial court, Lord Bao does not want to know to let the other party know.

Sitting down with each other, Zhu Daworm said, "I don't know what you're doing here?!" ”

When Master Bao heard this, he was already displeased in his heart, knowing that he was a Hu Lai, he deliberately asked: "Who is the pro-Foot Order, who is the first time to come here." ”

Zhu Daworm smiled: "It turned out to be a newcomer, so I don't know." Although Lord Ben is the messenger of the Yellow Gate, he is also added to the number one person, and Lord Hu, the prefect of Guangzhou, is the sister-in-law of Lord Ben, and everyone knows about it in Guanzhou? Since the gentleman has come, please help him? ”

When Mahan heard this, his face changed, and he said, "You are accepting bribes." ”

"Hey, don't say it so ugly, it's part money. It's the same inside and outside the court, if you have the ability, go to those big officials. ”

Ma Han saw that he was about to teach him a lesson, but he was stopped by Lord Bao. Master Bao said righteously: "Although the official is humble and the position is small, he only knows how to serve loyally and love the country for the people, and he must not be in the company of this group of traitors who mislead the country and thieves who bully the king." Don't say that the letter bribe is the hatred of the lower officials, and even when I meet with this kind of traitor, I hate to eat his flesh. And sleep on its skin, govern the law of the country, and repay the emperor under the nine springs. ”

When Zhu Daworm heard that this guy was really an official, but the official who didn't know where he said: "No wonder you look down on it so much." It turned out to be an official. From out of town, right? Sue sù, in this realm, Lord Zhou is the official of the Mandate of Heaven. I don't know if the official's case silver has been brought? He mistakenly thought that Master Bao had come to ask someone for an errand.

When Master Bao heard this, he couldn't help but shout: "You damn puppet, you usually bend the law for bribes, and you have many evil deeds. Although Lord Ben is new to this place, are you like you? You can know that the king of food, should repay the king's kindness, this lord is an honest and loyal minister, how can there be this silver with you? If you know a little about advancing and retreating, and change your face and heart from now on, it is the kingdom of your heart, and your lord may be able to forgive your past and avoid being held accountable. If you use Hu Lai as a talisman. Do you know that Lord Ben only knows the national law of the Song Dynasty, and does not know the traitors who misled the country, no matter who you are? and they will be punished according to the law. And what about you waiting for this class of dogs? ”

Zhu Daworm scolded Master Bao, and he couldn't turn his face for a while. couldn't help but turn into anger, and said: "I said that it is not easy for you to study hard for ten years, who knows that you are lawless and untrustworthy." I'm a nine-grade petty official. It is not for you, under your command! Even if you are an upright man, you can't follow my path. You have the ability to go to the prefect. As he spoke, he was furious, his sleeves flicked up, and he turned into the back hall.

At this time, where can Master Bao be tolerated, he scolded loudly, and immediately said: "Damn, I didn't even take Lord Ben in my eyes, Ma Han walked back to the inn." After saying that, he was angry, and he also flicked his sleeves and rushed out of the door.

It is said that Lord Bao grabbed Bai for Zhu Daworm, and after a quarrel, Wang Chao stepped forward and asked, "Why are you so angry?" ”

Ma Han said: "Hey, isn't it just a little Jiupin Sect official, so greedy and rude. No wonder the Quartet is disturbed, the government is not in the same situation, and the country will be unified, there is this group of shameless horsemen! ”

At that time, Ma Han was ordered to choose an apartment and arrange for everyone's luggage to be parked first.

"My lord, is it so angry, do you just go back?"

After Bao Heizi sent a bucket of gas, his brain also brightened up a lot, and he said, "What do you say?" We were dressed in casual clothes, and they were completely invisible. Even if he was to punish him, he could have prevaricated without guilt for those who did not know. "Secretly, I'll let you wait tomorrow to look good. Consult with him on a good plan in order to punish Zhu Daworm.

The next day, Lord Bao directly put on the official mansion, held a big seal, and entered the yamen, no one dared to stop it, and those who were blocked were also taken down by the dynasty Mahan.

Without asking, he went directly to the hall, and at this moment Zhou Cheng was still playing in the water in his dream, when he suddenly heard the drums beating above the lobby, and suddenly woke up from his dream and shouted: "Who is drumming, who is drumming?!" When asked, no one came out to answer. It turned out that the secret servant had already been called away by Master Bao.

Zhou Cheng saw that no one came, so he put on his clothes in a hurry, and since he went out. Walking towards the lobby, he said, "Who is impatient to live, and even beats the drum in broad daylight." ”

However, as soon as he walked up to the lobby, he saw a dark patch, wow, who turned off the lights. "Who are you?!" Why sit above the lobby. ”

"Bold?!" Wang Dynasty Ma Han said sharply: "This is Lord Bao, the prefect of Duanzhou, and he didn't kneel down quickly when he saw Shangguan." ”

Yes? When Zhou Cheng heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground, and it turned out to be this black charcoal head. I should have thought of it earlier. remembered the official order issued by Shangfeng a few days ago, and then remembered his brother-in-law Hu Lai to ask him to restrain a little, and said, "Xiaguan Zhou Cheng will see Master Bao." "I saw Master Bao reading the text. stepped forward and arched his hand: "My lord, come here, I don't know if it will be a small sound?" I'm so sure that people can sweep the couch to greet me? ”

Bao Heizi glanced at him, and Zhou Cheng was terrified. Zhou Cheng's eyes turned aimlessly, and he said secretly: Sure enough, shoot people's souls.

Master Bao said with a smile: "This lord met your county on the road, and saw someone shouting injustice, so I borrowed your yamen for use." Lord Zhou, you won't blame, right? ”

Zhou Cheng nodded nervously and said, "No, no." The lord is a lowly official and has the right to intervene in the rights and interests of the locality. ”

"That's good." Lord Bao was like a smiling tiger, and then "snapped". Frightened, Zhou Chengyi was so shocked that he almost didn't kneel on the ground.

I saw Master Bao stunned, "Shengtang!!! ”

"Ascension !!!"

Then came Hao Tingtong Hu Dajing, Wang Xiaosanzi.

And said that Zhou Cheng was so unhappy that he was not happy in his heart, and he often said: "The ancients said well, there will be no seeds, and men should be self-reliant." I think these two sentences in ancient times may be useful; If you are at this time, no matter how self-reliant you are. Nor can he be an official. If I hadn't been my brother-in-law who came indiscriminately, how could I be the lord of a county after all these years? I want to memorize these two sentences, and then change the words of these two sentences: There will be no seeds, and its power lies in Huanghu. You see, the people who are officials today, whether they are Beijing officials or foreign officials, are the majority of the party groups of these two families. Now that I am an official, if I don't have some money, I will be a blessing. Won't you live up to this prefectural order? ”

He usually thinks like this, but after he took office, he happened to see Zeng Cai living here, and he was even more overjoyed. Whether it is occupying the fields or robbing the women, let him win the first share. When someone comes to sue the accusation, they are all refuted. Outsiders know that he is the same as Zeng Youcai, but they don't know that he is worse than Zeng Youcai. On that day, he snatched Hao Ting's daughter-in-law, and said to Zeng Youcai: "I am very happy in my heart about this person. Now I have the right to let you use it, and when the matter is done, it is still up to me to decide. "The two were discussing it, and it was just right for Hao Ting to come to sue him. Zhou Cheng was particularly clean, so that he would never dare to sue again.

When Zhou Cheng heard this, his heart was anxious. I regret that this matter should not be messed around, and it is easy to meet the lack of this county. But I didn't expect to offend Shangguan because of this matter, as the saying goes, the county official is not as good as taking care of it now, this bag of adults is pressing him, hey, it's too late to regret it. Although I want to delay, I have no choice but to be urgent. Immediately arrived in the county, with Zeng Youcai and others, they were very afraid, but they were afraid of suffering in the hall.

Hao Ting, Hu Dajing, and Wang Xiaosanzi came to Yuanmen to wait for the trial. After the day of Lord Bao's resignation, he immediately ascended to the lobby, and the patrol officers and scribes on both sides stood at the bottom of the stairs.

I saw Mr. Bao enter the public sitting, and the secretary office submitted the case file, Mr. Bao unfolded it, put it on the roster with a red pen, clicked it, and the secretary next to him shouted: "Bring the plaintiff Hao Ting up." As soon as the order was called, outside the Yimen, I heard a shout to take the plaintiff, and sent someone to bring the plaintiff Hao Ting in, and reported loudly: "The people Hao Ting sue in." ”

The hall also shouted, said the word "enter", and knelt down in front of the case Hao Lao'er.

Master Bao looked down and shouted, "Hao Ting, when you raise your head, do you recognize the main department?" ”

Old man Hao said: "The villain doesn't dare to raise his head, the villain is wronged, and the daughter-in-law was robbed by Zeng Youcai, and begged the adult to judge." ”

Master Bao said: "This old man of yours is too confused, this is the news that the headquarters has heard about it, so naturally I will wait for you to end the news." Thou shalt look up and look at the Headquarters, but thou hast seen thou hast seen it? ”

Hao Ting had to tremble, looked up at it, and was taken aback: it was the day before yesterday that he wanted to sue the government for this matter, the guest who was traveling. At that time, he only kowtowed below and said: "The villain has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, it turns out that the adult has secretly visited, which is really the luck of the villain." This is what the adults have witnessed, and there is no falsehood. It's hateful that this is in the county, the people are not allowed to speak, and a lot of money is extorted by the scribe, and the word is refuted, isn't there no injustice and nowhere to redress? Poor Hu Dajing and Wang Xiaosanzi, who are also so distressed by the villain, are now serving outside the gate, always begging the adults to judge from the public and order him to put people back. For the rest of the matter, I don't have to ask him if I ask him. He has the protection of Lord Hu in front of him, and the adults work hard to gain the benefits, although we are the people, I am afraid that the adults themselves will hinder the future. The villains are willing to spend some money, and they are all as they please. ”

When Lord Bao heard this, he secretly sighed, thinking that there are no good people since then, if you treat him with kindness, he will respect you with his parents, and this Lord will only take people back, and the rest do not need to be investigated, I am afraid that Lord Hu will secretly harm me, so the people, what else to say! Hate this group of dogs, greedy and insatiable, fish and flesh small people, so that the country's maladministration, but for the villain's advice, can't you hate! At that time, he said: "You don't need to say much, since Lord Ben is a minister of the court, a corrupt official and a corrupt official, he should be punished according to the law." Thou hast been wronged, and the ministry has already known it. Hu Dajing and Wang Xiaosanzi have been ordered to confront each other in court. ”

After this discussion, the officer also brought these two men to the case. Master Bao knelt aside as ordered, and then the convict officer listened to the trial. There was a shout in the hall, and the patrol officer had already heard it, and brought Zhou Cheng to the case, and went to the Yimen to sign up. At this time, Zhou Bucheng was already frightened, and said in his heart: "This pack of sunspots is against us." Although I am a magistrate, I am of the same kind, and the robbery was the work of Zeng Youcai, so why don't you mention him first, but only me? It's not a good thing. The more I thought about it, the more I was afraid, and I couldn't lift the two pairs of soft feet, and the skin naturally changed color, and my face turned red and white. When the patrol officer saw him in such a situation, he scolded in a low voice: "You dog head, since you know that you are so frightened at this time, you should not use the power of Hu Laijia that day. Bullying the people of Zhilin County. You are so in office in Zhilin County, you will ask people for money, what kind of tone do you have to pretend to be at this time, what kind of situation do you have? Don't go for me! At this time, Zhou Cheng had no choice but to insult him, knelt down in front of the case and said: "Zhou Cheng, the magistrate of Linxian County, kneel and see you." ”

Master Bao looked him up and down, and couldn't help sneering and said: "I said that you are from the People's Society, and your appearance is extraordinary, it turned out to be a seed with a rat's eye and a cat's head, so it's no wonder that you have a bad heart." For the sake of the people. Lord Ben has always been upright, and I think you have heard about it, and how you will be in adultery with the once talented wolf Bèi, and seize the women of a good family, from the truth. You can know that you are a dismissed officer, if there is half a sentence of support, the national law is strict, how can you be unscrupulous! ”

Zhou Cheng saw the majesty of Lord Bao at this time, and he had already messed up. I had to bow up and say: "I never dare to act out of courtesy." There were talents who seized the women of the people, and if there was such a thing, would they not know about it. And why didn't the people come back at that time, but it was many years later. How can you believe this matter? And Zeng Youcai is an old servant of Lord Hu, how dare he do such a misdemeanor? I also ask the adults to be clear. ”

Master Bao sneered and said, "You dog is a good dog, if you temporarily twist the control." If he can go to the county, his daughter-in-law will not rob it. You said that he was an old servant of Lord Hu, so didn't Lord Ben ask about this case? And bring him in. Let's talk to you. ”

At that time, he said hello, and he brought Zeng Youcai to the desk and knelt down. When Master Bao saw him kneeling in the hall, he slapped the hall and shouted: "Left and right!" And he took the dog slave and asked him for his confession. This case is what this Lord has seen and heard with his own ears, how can you wait to deny it" on both sides of the mighty sound, the big torture instrument has already been taken, two errand servants, the leg clothes of Zeng Youcai were removed, put into the circle, only to see the rope collected, Zeng Youcai at that time "ouch", has already passed out.

Master Bao ordered someone to stop the execution, and then said to Zhou Chengyan: "I think you have used this torture instrument in Zhilin County, and I don't know how many people have been wronged." Now the guilt is not light, and if you do not understand the confession, you will be able to taste the punishment. Why do you think that Lord Ben is like a man, and that I am usually attached to those traitors? The prince has never broken the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people, even if Lord Hu is at fault, Lord Ben can't forgive him, besides, you are from his house slave, and you are still in front of Lord Ben, and you are whitewashing your clever words? ”

When Zhou Cheng arrived at this time, where did he dare to speak, he only kowtowed on the ground, and said in a loud voice: "I am guilty of my humble duties, and I ask my lord to be extra gracious." ”

Master Bao didn't say any more, and ordered someone to put Zeng Youcai on the ground and spray him with cold water to wake him up. The servants did the same, first loosened the rope, took a bowl of cold water, and when the door of the head was sprayed, about half an hour, only to hear the sound of "ouch", and said, "Hurt me!" Fang Cai was in a state of mind and gradually woke up. Zeng Youcai looked at it himself, and his legs were like slashes from a knife, and the blood flowed endlessly. Two messengers had already come up, helped Zeng Youcai up, barely dragged him two or three steps on the ground, and ordered him to kneel again.

Master Bao asked: "You dog, he despises the criminal law of the imperial court every day, like a child's play, thinking that the magistrate can do all kinds of evil if he is angry." Lord Ben asked you, where is the daughter-in-law of the old man Hao Ting? Wang Xiaosanzi's wife, and Hu Dajing's daughter, are all snatched for you, this is all seen by the headquarters and heard with your own ears, if you don't confess immediately, that is, pass the knife and axe, cut off your dog's head, so that you don't live, and then do evil in the underworld. If he didn't tell the truth, his life would be difficult to protect at that time, so it would be better to confess and confess, and then ask Zhang Changzong to do his best. At that time, he said: "This matter is the fault of the villain for a while, and the wives and daughters of the people should not be arbitrarily seized." Now the daughter-in-law of the Hao family is in the Zhilin County Yazhong, and the other two people are in the villain's house. The villain knows that he is guilty, but he asks the adult to open a line of grace and take his whole life. ”

Master Bao scolded: "You dog kills talents, and you refuse to tell the truth until this time." Do you know that if you want to save your life and rob a woman who kills someone's house, you don't care about someone's life? Then he ordered the officer to whip his back fifty. The time messenger dragged it down, and there was a sound, and the skin was torn apart. The torture chamber recorded his confession, stamped it, and took him to prison.

Then he said to Zhou Cheng, "Now that the evidence is here, it shows that you have done what you did, and it was you who instructed you, what else do you have to rely on?" If you don't take you seriously, you will be more serious. Left yes, and beat him with fifty sticks! When the shouting on both sides was over, they tore off his pants, dragged him down and beat him hard, and the shouting was incessant, like a dog barking. It was easy to finish beating the big stick, and Zhou Cheng was pushed to the front of the case again. Where did Zhou Cheng endure hardships, blood was drenched, and he barely knelt down, so he had to step forward and say to Lord Bao's case: "Great human rights and calm the wrath of thunder; The lowly duty is just confessed. Immediately in the hall of Lord Bao, how to meet the Hu family, make up for the lack of this county, how to discuss with this Zeng Youcai to occupy the people's property, how to take a fancy to Hao Ganting's daughter-in-law, and instruct Zeng Youcai to go and rob it, before and after, I talked about it again. Master Bao ordered him to finish his painting confession, knelt aside, and said to Hao Ting, "Can you hear the three of you?" There is an official letter from the ministry, and I will send the court to go back with you, and then act as an agent to the magistrate of Linxian County, and quickly recover your daughter-in-law and his two wives and daughters, and take them in the court. After that, if there are any unjudicial officials in the local area, you are allowed to wait for the people to come to Yuanmen to complain, and this lord will never look at the situation and tolerate people's faces. If the officer demands it privately, it must also be registered on the submission, and there is no need to ask for a few, and the complainant is not allowed to accept it privately with the officer, etc.; Once the Lord visited, he and the recipient were punished with the same punishment. After Mr. Bao finished speaking, Hao Ting, Hu Dajing, Wang Xiaosanzi, etc., were directly under the public case, kowtowing like pounding garlic, and said: "The adults are so kind and kind, the villains can only repay each other with dogs and horses." At that time, the scribe had written the official document, and Lord Bao comforted them again in the court, and ordered the messenger to go with him, and it was not allowed to ask for the plate fee privately. I warned again, and then I sent an official letter and sent it away without mentioning it. (To be continued......)
