When Gongsun Ce saw Bao Zheng, he immediately walked up to him and said: "Brother Bao, when did you become the general judge of Kaifeng Prefecture? It's really great. Lin Yan and I stayed in an inn, and most of the people living in that inn They are all people who came to Beijing to take the exam. Unexpectedly, when Lin Yan and I were eating in a store today, we met a group of people dressed as servants. When they heard us mentioning you during our chat, they beat us up and even Everything we had in the inn was smashed." Gongsun Ce said this, but Bao Zheng saw obvious bruises on the foreheads of Gongsun Ce and Lin Yan. It was obvious that they had just been beaten severely. pause.
After hearing Gongsun Ce's words, Bao Zheng stood up and said angrily: "How dare you act recklessly under the Emperor's feet! Brother Gongsun and Brother Lin, I will definitely help you seek justice. Where are those servants now?" []
Lin Yan hurriedly replied at this time: "Those servants must still be drinking in the inn."
Fang Lingmei on the side said: "Bao Zheng, you have to think twice before you act. If the other party is deliberately trying to lure you over, it will be extremely dangerous."
Bao Zheng said: "Fairy Jingzhen, I didn't say that I wanted to go in person. I think the possibility of Moutian meeting setting up a trap is not high. I will send people to arrest those servants in the busy city, and everything will be safe."
Wen Rui stood up at this time and said: "Bao Zheng, you are on duty as an official of Kaifeng Mansion. The arrests must be handled by the government officials." As Wen Rui spoke, he ordered twenty or thirty government officials to be sent to Gongsun Ce. He and Lin Yan took him to the hotel to arrest people.
While Bao Zheng was waiting for a few cups of tea in the hall, he heard a burst of noise. After a while, a group of servants in green clothes and small hats were twisted in by the Yamen servants. The servants were arguing loudly and arrogantly with the servants. Seeing the arrogant attitude of the servants, the servants shrank back.
When this group of servants walked into the lobby, they all had playful smiles on their faces, as if they didn't take the Kaifeng Mansion court seriously. Bao Zheng slapped the wooden door and said sternly: "Don't you know you have to kneel down when you enter the court?"
A big man who was leading the group of servants walked out. He snorted and said, "A seventh-grade sesame official wants to take care of the affairs of the Shangshu family? Bao Zheng, you really think too highly of yourself."
Bao Zheng did not expect that the servant actually recognized him. Seeing that the servant was familiar with officialdom and saw Bao Zheng sitting in the judge's position, he already knew that Bao Zheng was only a minor official.
After thinking about it briefly, Bao Zheng already knew that these servants must be Liu Jiwu's subordinates. They must have seen him at the door of Kou Zhun's mansion that day, so he recognized them.
When Bao Zheng saw that the servants did not take him seriously, he immediately became furious and said sternly: "Left and right! According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, anyone who despises the court will be punished with thirty sticks. Give me a beating before you start!"
Bao Zheng¡¯s order came down, but the government servants below were all standing there, making no movement.
The leading servant laughed and said: "How dare your group of government servants hit us, unless they don't want to hang out in the capital anymore. If anyone dares to hit us, I will prevent his whole family from seeing the sun tomorrow."
The servants were so clamoring that the government servants did not dare to touch them. These government officials all have families. In a place like the capital where people are mixed, they have long known what it means to turn a blind eye.
When Bao Zheng saw that he couldn't persuade the government officials, he calmed down and thought to himself: The people in the government office of Kaifeng Prefecture in the capital often faced dignitaries, and they were already better than monkeys. If you want to count on these people It¡¯s out of the question to even think about redressing the grievances of the common people.
Bao Zheng was shocked again and said loudly: "Since you government servants are unwilling to take action, just stand aside."
After hearing what Bao Zheng said, the yamen servants all moved aside as if they were being pardoned. When the servants saw that Bao Zheng was frustrated, they burst into laughter.
When Gongsun Ce and Lin Yan saw Bao Zheng being humiliated, they immediately said angrily: "You guys are bullying others with power, pretending to be powerful. Do you really think that no one can control you?"
The leading butler sneered: "You two pretty boys, were you beaten unpleasantly by me just now? Do you want to be beaten again? Keep your wits about you."
After the head servant finished speaking, he looked at Bao Zheng angrily and said: "Master Bao, if there is nothing else, we will leave now. If you want to serve a drink to apologize, you'd better remember to notify us in advance, so that we don't My young master had a bad temper and brought people to smash the sign of Kaifeng Mansion." As the guy said that, he walked out in a swarm.
The group of servants had just arrived at the door, but they were forced back again. It turned out that the person blocking the road was Fang Lingmei, who had just received a hint from Bao Zheng and came in with the imperial guards.
Bao Zheng sneered at this time: "Forbidden Army, take down all these lawless people for me."
The group of servants saw the bright sharp knives in the hands of the imperial guards.The gun could not help but send chills down my spine. Following Bao Zheng's order, the Imperial Army immediately pushed the servants to the ground.
The servants who were originally so proud and proud now all turned pale. They were lucky, because as Liu Jiwu's lackeys, they could walk around the capital. They were also unlucky because when they were walking sideways, they met Bao Zheng, the third son of a black man.
Bao Zheng said to the Forbidden Army at this time: "This group of people are usually villains. The Forbidden Army are brothers who have come from all over the world. They must all hate such villains. Today, I will give each of them fifty canes. Here you go.¡±
As soon as Bao Zheng said this, the head of the servants in the hall bared his teeth and said: "Bao Zheng, how dare you really hit us! This time you have a close relationship with Liang Zi of the Liu family."
Bao Zheng looked at the head of the household and was very disgusted. He immediately said: "If you talk nonsense in court, give me fifty slaps!" As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed a stick from Wen Rui's table and threw it down.
One of the imperial guards picked up the order, but took it and slapped the head servant's face hard. The order was made of wood. The imperial army slapped him with all his strength, and immediately slapped the leader's face with a shocking shock. Big red seal.
The Imperial Guards are all sons of the common people recruited from all over the country. Seeing that they have the opportunity to punish the bullies today, how can they be soft-hearted? They come from all over the world, but they don't have to worry about the government officials. There was a loud crackling sound in the hall, and twenty slaps had knocked out the front teeth of the leader. At this time, his nose was bleeding, and his face was really scarier than a ghost. The numerous servants were still majestic just now, but now that the leader was beaten into a human shape, the original breeze had long been frightened out of the sky.
After fifty blows, the tough leader, whose lips were numb and his cheeks were swollen, actually fainted.
Bao Zheng wanted to establish his authority, so he threw another order and ordered all the servants in the hall to give me fifty sticks and give me a hard beating! Let you people who rely on human power know that Kaifeng Mansion Yamen is not the place for you to run wild!
