    The imperial guards pinned all the servants to the ground, took the fire dragon sticks of the yamen servants on the side, and immediately started beating them.  The servants were beaten until they cried like ghosts and wolves, crying for their fathers and mothers.

    After the fifty sticks came down, those people were already torn to pieces.  At this time, there was no trace of arrogance and domineering in the eyes of those people. Bao Zheng glanced at them and immediately said in a calm tone: "We have been beaten, and the case must continue to be tried. You beat Gongsun for no reason.  Ce and Lin Yan, and also smashed their belongings. Do you have any objection to these charges?"[]

    None of the servants dared to talk back at this time, and they immediately shouted guilty.  Bao Zheng said coldly: "Since you are aware of the crime, it is obvious that according to the laws of the Song Dynasty, those who cause trouble and fights will be punished with fifty rods! Those who destroy people and property will be punished with double compensation!"

    When all the servants heard that Bao Zheng wanted to beat him again, they all cared about the Liu family's reputation. They immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, kowtowing like pounding ears of corn.  Now they have been beaten to the point where they have only half a breath left. If they hit fifty more, their waists will definitely be broken.

    When Bao Zheng saw all the servants shouting for mercy in the hall, he said coldly: "It's okay not to hit fifty big boards. If the victim allows it, these fifty big boards can be converted into silver to compensate the victim."

    When the servants heard that they could get fifty pieces of money, they immediately begged Gongsun Ce and Lin Yan for their lives.  Gongsun Ce saw that Bao Zheng had given him such bad breath, so he agreed to spare these people.

    Bao Zheng said at this time: "Since the victim allows it, then one board is one tael, and fifty big boards is fifty taels. In addition to the victim's property losses, each person will pay ten taels. You only need to pay sixty taels each.  The officer will let you go back."

    Bao Zheng's punishment this time was extremely severe. In the Song Dynasty, a county magistrate's monthly salary was only twelve taels. Sixty taels was equivalent to a county magistrate's salary of five months. Bao Zheng originally thought that it would be difficult for these servants to pay.  So much money.

    In fact, Bao Zheng miscalculated again. After hearing Bao Zheng¡¯s verdict, the group of servants immediately took out silver coins and banknotes from their bodies and handed them to Gongsun Ce and Lin Yan.  When Bao Zheng saw these servants taking out the money, he didn't even frown, and simply handed over the money. Thinking that these people must have taken away a lot of property in the capital, this time it seemed that the sentence was light.

    There were eight servants in this group. Gongsun Ce and Lin Yan instantly received 480 taels of silver, which was equivalent to 480,000 yuan.

    One of the servants said tremblingly: "Sir, we have been beaten and the money has been paid. I wonder if you have any other orders?"

    Bao Zheng said coldly: "I will spare you today. If I catch you next time if you dare to mess around in Kaifeng Mansion, you won't have to pay for it." The threat of this paragraph made all the family members stay silent.  They all nodded in agreement.

    Bao Zheng expected that they would not dare to do evil again in the future, so he immediately waved his hand for the Imperial Army to take them down.

    Just as he was leaving the hall, Wen Yanbo, who had been hiding behind the lobby, jumped out. As he walked away, he clapped his hands and said: "Brother Bao, the trial today is really exciting. My grandfather tried the case, but Brother Bao has never done it.  The breeze blows from all sides, but even Liu Shangshu¡¯s men dare to fight.¡±

    Gongsun Ce and Lin Yan also clasped their fists at Bao Zheng to express their gratitude.  Lin Yan took the lead and said, "Brother Bao, you really helped us get a bad breath today."

    Bao Zheng smiled and said: "It is the duty of an official to punish rape and eradicate evil. Since I have been favored by the emperor to serve as a junior official, and I have been promoted by Lord Yin Wen of Kaifeng Prefecture, how can I be afraid of this?"  A little servant."

    Wen Rui, who was sitting at the top, was stroking his beard and smiling: "Since ancient times, heroes have been born young, and the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Now that Bao Zheng has come to Kaifeng Mansion, I am weak and sick, and I have long wanted to take leave to recuperate. Kaifeng Mansion should hand in  I¡¯ll give Bao Zheng full authority to take care of it.¡±

    Bao Zheng looked at Wen Rui's escaping attitude and knew that he must have seen that he would offend too many powerful people in the future. However, since he was appointed by the emperor, it was difficult to offend both parties, in order to prevent the city gate from catching fire and affecting Chi Yu.  It was Wen Rui, an old fox, who chose to take leave to recuperate.

    Wen Yanbo looked at his grandfather's statement and immediately smiled and said: "Grandpa, you just don't have the authority of Brother Bao when you become an official. Let Brother Bao punish the murderers and arrest the evil in Kaifeng Mansion, but you also did a great good thing for Kaifeng Mansion." Wen Yanbo  Speak freely and without any scruples.  Wen Rui's face turned red and he immediately turned to Bao Zheng and said, "My grandson has a straightforward personality. If there is any verbal conflict with you in the future, please don't take it to heart."

    After Wen Rui finished speaking, he turned around and went to the inner hall to rest.  Wen Rui's avoidance left all matters in Kaifeng Mansion to Bao Zheng.  Only then did Bao Zheng understand Emperor Zhao Heng's painstaking efforts. The general magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture was actually no different from the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture. Wen Rui's official position must have been prepared for Bao Zheng. Wen Rui was already old and would have  It means returning to the fields.

    Bao Zheng turned to Gongsun Ce and Lin Yan and said: "It's going to be winter soon, and the exams are still in the beginning of spring. The Yamen of Kaifeng Prefecture is not far from Bao Mansion. Your property has been smashed, so why not stay at my house?  "

    Gongsun Ce smiled and said: "We appreciate your kindness, Bao Zheng, but now that we have so much money in our hands, Brother Bao doesn't have to worry about us. There are many female relatives in Brother Bao's house, what can we do?  Thank you for your long stay!¡±

    Wen Yanbo on the side said: "In the backyard of the Kaifeng Prefecture Yamen, there is a Tongpan House with many rooms. You might as well live in the Tongpan House, so that the Kaifeng Prefecture Yamen will be more lively."

    When Gongsun Ce and Lin Yan heard that there was a separate courtyard behind the Yamen, their faces immediately lit up with joy.  Bao Zheng immediately asked Wen Yanbo to lead the way, followed by Gongsun Ce, Lin Yan and Fang Lingmei.  When we arrived at the other courtyard, there were about ten rooms, which were elegantly decorated.

    After Bao Zheng settled Gongsun Ce and Lin Yan, he and Fang Lingmei left Kaifeng Mansion after some pleasantries.

    Bao Zheng came to Kaifeng Mansion Yamen this time, just to check it out, but unexpectedly he met two old acquaintances, Gongsun Ce and Lin Yan.  Now that there are still three months left before the examination, Gongsun Ce and Lin Yan must be looking for a quiet place to study hard and prepare for the exam, but this villa is just what they want.  Moreover, Bao Zheng will basically handle official business in Kaifeng Mansion from now on. Gongsun Ce and Lin Yan are also think tanks. When the strategy is poor, the three of them can make good calculations together.

    Bao Zheng and Fang Lingmei unknowingly came to the door of the Yamen and looked up at the sky. It was still noon and still early.  Remembering that she had an agreement with Murong Guiying, she immediately said to Lingmei: "Fairy Jingzhen, I wonder how far this place is from Cuiweiju?"

    Fang Lingmei replied calmly: "Cuiwei Residence is next to Cuiwei Lake in the east, west and south of the city. There is a bamboo forest there. There is an elegant Cuiwei house in the bamboo forest. Senior Sister Murong and Junior Sister Chen have both studied arts there since childhood.  Grow up."

    Bao Zheng knew that the Kaifeng Mansion Yamen was not far from the southwest of the city, and Bao Mansion was also very close to Cuiwei Lake, so he had already planned to go to Cuiwei Ju.  Bao Zheng replied: "Since it's not far from here, I should go and learn the technique of risking one's life and forgetting one's life. If I don't go, Mrs. Yang will probably say I'm lazy."
