At this time, Bao Zheng raised his hands and said to Zhao Congshi: "Your Highness, Bao just wrote a crappy poem that can't be regarded as elegant, but it should make the talented people in the capital laugh."
Zhao Congshi smiled and said: "Brother Bao, please don't call me Your Highness the County Prince in the future. I, Zhao Congshi, have regarded fame and wealth more lightly than the wind and less than the clouds since I was a child. The whole capital knows that I never call myself the emperor." Dear nobleman, I have been dressed as a commoner since I was a child, and I practice martial arts casually. Otherwise, I would not be able to talk to Miss Bai like this." After Zhao Congshi finished speaking, he couldn't help but glance at Bai Yutang.
Zhao Congshi finally mentioned Bai Yutang, which made her blush even more. She turned to say: "Brother Bao, you should address him as an equal. It's much easier to talk like this, and being polite will make people uncomfortable." .¡±
Bao Zheng saw that the two of them had reached the stage of being a husband and a wife, and he couldn't help but smile and said: "Since Brother Zhao is a casual person, I should also be more free and easy. Brother Zhao, we are chatting and drinking morning tea at the moment, so why not add a pair of bowls and chopsticks? Everyone is so familiar with us.¡±
Zhao Congshi immediately sat next to Bai Yutang generously. Everyone saw that the two of them were sitting together. They were indeed a talented man and a beautiful woman. Zhao Congshi always liked to make friends, and soon he started talking all over the place with Gongsun Ce, Lin Yan and Bao Zheng. Suddenly there was laughter and laughter in the elegant room. Pan Su was a serious person, but rarely joked. However, Zhao Congshi seemed to have known Pan Su's character for a long time. He just laughed at him and stopped teasing him.
Seeing that the atmosphere was extremely harmonious, and taking advantage of everyone's happiness, Bao Zheng couldn't help but calm down, broke the joking situation, and said seriously: "Brother Zhao, Bao Zheng was born as the magistrate of Kaifeng Mansion, but there is one thing that he has always wanted to ask Zhao. Brother, ask!"
Zhao Congshi also said seriously at this time: "Brother Bao must want to ask about the Moutianhui matter! As for other things, Zhao said it's okay, but I don't want to get involved in the Moutianhui matter, and I can't. Okay. If Brother Bao wants to ask anything from me, I'm afraid Zhao will have to apologize to everyone."
Bao Zheng replied sternly: "Brother Zhao, although you said you don't want to get involved, you are already involved without knowing it. Bao was once kidnapped by the Moutianhui rebels, and the place where I was imprisoned was Brother Zhao¡¯s Prince¡¯s Mansion. If in the future the affair of the Mu Tian Hui is exposed and the truth comes to light, and Brother Zhao is a relative of the emperor but deliberately conceals it, do you think the emperor will believe that you are innocent?"
Bao Zheng's straightforward words made Zhao Congshi a little shocked, but he came back to his senses in an instant and said with a wry smile: "How could Zhao not know the powerful relationship? I have actually been working for several years." I no longer live in the Prince's Mansion. For many years, I have only wandered around restaurants and elegant places in the capital. I rarely go back to the Prince's Mansion for several months. I am actually escaping. I also know that sooner or later, things will involve me. However, many of them are the most important people in my life. Even if they are doing what they think is right, although I am not willing to join them, I must not betray them. people."
After hearing what Zhao Congshi said, Bao Zheng already knew what Zhao Congshi was thinking and said no more at the moment.
Gongsun Ce saw that the atmosphere was a bit cold, but he came out to smooth things over and said: "Brother Zhao, Brother Bao. Since we all have unspeakable difficulties, why not turn these difficulties into wine and drink it in your stomach, you will definitely not be so depressed." "
As soon as Gongsun Ce¡¯s proposal came out, everyone rushed to agree. Bao Zheng asked the waiter to serve a few jars of wine. After a while, everyone drank for three rounds, and the atmosphere became less dull. Pan Su was a strict person, and he didn't even drink a sip of wine. He just sat there in a dull mood, adding a word or two from time to time.
While a group of people were continuing to chat, the waiter came upstairs with a Forbidden Army soldier.
When Bao Zheng saw the imperial army, he had already guessed that it was probably Kou Zhun who had come. When asked, it turned out to be the case, but this time there was one more person, that is, His Royal Highness. He had become this person after receiving the emperor's order. The presiding judge of the case.
Bao Zheng and others had no choice but to leave the banquet and plan to meet Kou Zhun. Before Bao Zheng left, he ordered the five Bai Yutang sisters to continue to monitor the movements of the Moutianhui personnel in the prince's palace and notify him immediately if there was any situation. Although Zhao Congshi had many connections with the Moutianhui, he seemed to be not helping each other. He neither provided clues nor prevented Bao Zheng, Bai Yutang and others from continuing their investigation.
After Bao Zheng, Zhao Congshi, Bai Yutang and others said goodbye, they returned to the gate of Liu Mansion with Pan Su, Gongsun Ce and Lin Zhencheng.
Bao Zheng saw the Crown Prince Zhao Zhen and Kou Zhun from a distance. They were guarded by a large group of imperial guards and imperial guards, and the scene was full of aura.
Bao Zheng stepped forward with a smile and said to the Crown Prince: "Your Highness, this is a great congratulation. I didn't expect you to regain your freedom. The Emperor also gave you such a case to practice. If this case is handled well, , maybe the emperor has agreed to the marriage between you and Yuqi, the prince."When the prince heard Bao Zheng talking about Yu Qi, his eyes couldn't help but shine. He took Bao Zheng's hand and said, "Bao Zheng, are you telling the truth? If I can handle this case, my father will really Will you agree to my marriage to Yuqi?"
Bao Zheng just made a hypothetical statement, but the purpose was to mobilize the enthusiasm of the prince. As long as the prince is interested in investigating the case, then Bao Zheng needs people, power and power, so it will naturally be much easier to investigate the case.
Bao Zheng nodded and said: "This time the emperor asked the prince to practice. If this case is handled well, the emperor will naturally promise many things to the prince when he is happy."
Kou Zhun on the side couldn't help but snorted when he saw Bao Zheng tirelessly instigating the young prince. Bao Zheng immediately blushed, walked up to Kou Zhun, raised his hands and said respectfully: "Master Kou, this case is really big. We need to investigate everything carefully. I suspect this is a case that can turn the capital upside down." What a shocking case!"
Kou Zhun stroked his beard at this time, patted Bao Zheng's shoulder heavily with his left hand, and said with a smile: "Bao Zheng, Bao Zheng! It seems that you are really not simple. You really guessed it this time, I We just have some big news to tell you. We have to find a place to discuss it first! This time, the Crown Prince will be the presiding judge, and he must investigate the case thoroughly so that the Crown Prince can establish his authority!"
When Bao Zheng heard that Kou Zhun had big news to tell him, his expression changed slightly. Could it be that Kou Zhun had already found important clues? This is something that cannot be delayed. Bao Zheng immediately said: "In this case, we will go to the Kaifeng Mansion Yamen immediately to discuss it."
Neither Kou Zhun nor the Crown Prince objected, so Kou Zhun sent Pan Su to lead more people to defend the Liu Mansion, while a group of people went to the Kaifeng Mansion Yamen.
