"Are you from Liao?"
Cao Bin asked with a frown.
Chang Qinglian panicked for a moment, but immediately calmed down, looked at Cao Bin and said:
"My mother is from Liao, and my father is from Song. Qing Lian doesn't know which country he is from."
Cao Bin flipped through the Buddhist scriptures and saw the words Guanyinnu written on it, and asked casually:
"Your mother's identity is not simple, right?"
Chang Qinglian shook his head and said:
"She has now escaped into Buddhism. So what if she is not simple?"
Cao Bin pouted and said, "If you really escape into Buddhism, she won't let you out to find your father."
As he spoke, he shook his head again and said, "You said you would treat me like a cow or a horse, were you lying to me, right?"
Chang Qing said pitifully: "Uncle, are you willing to save him?"
Cao Bin shook his head and said: "Don't say that he is suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason. Even if he is not, I can't save him."
Chang Qinglian was speechless for a long time and then said:
"I have no family affection for him. To save him, I just want to take him to meet my mother. In that case, let's forget it."
After speaking, she clasped her hands together and said:
"Uncle, Qing Lian plans to shave off her hair and escape into Buddhism with my mother. She hopes that uncle will fulfill her wish and let me go."
Cao Bin looked at her blankly and said:
"Becoming a nun? Isn't this too sudden for you?"
Chang Qinglian was silent for a long time, then looked up at Cao Bin and said:
"My mother has long wanted me to be ordained, but Qing Lian is still mentally disturbed, so she has delayed it until now."
"Uncle is quite different from ordinary men. Spending time with uncle is the most pleasant time for Qing Lian."
"Qing Lian also often wavers in her heart to convert, but I know that my uncle has never believed in Qing Lian..."
"In this case, Qing Lian doesn't want to hesitate any longer."
Cao Bin looked at her for a while, then suddenly picked her up and walked towards the back house while laughing and saying:
"How can Ancient Buddha of Qingdeng compare with carpe diem? Life is short, sisters..."
Chang Qinglian struggled quickly and said firmly: "Uncle, Qinglian has made up his mind."
Cao Bin smiled and said, "Even if you make up your mind, you have to convince me, young monk, first."
... Chang Qinglian was a little resistant at first, but soon she responded enthusiastically.
"You are the devil...ah!"
Sure enough, the Buddha is one foot tall and the devil is one foot tall.
When Cao Bin woke up again, he saw Chang Qinglian sitting cross-legged with a holy face, silently reciting something.
Seeing Cao Bin get up and get dressed, she consciously stepped forward to serve...
Within two days, Shi Qian sent all the information about Chang Qinglian.
He checked it carefully and found no conspiracy, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Another three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Bao Zheng has already examined all officials in Shandong, big and small.
On this day, it was finally time to pronounce the final verdict.
"The pacifier of Jingdong Road sentenced Yanzhou to Chang Feng for corruption, harming the people, collaborating with the enemy and treason. His crimes were extremely evil... and he was sentenced to prison time!"
"The magistrate of Jeju, the magistrate of Juye, the magistrate of Jeyin... beheaded!"
Bao Zheng only sentenced seven or eight death sentences, and the rest were sent to the army or exiled.
The outcome of the disposal of others still needs to be discussed again by the court, and Bao Zheng only made a preliminary plan.
The decision to be executed must be executed immediately to appease the people.
Bao Zheng had the right to kill first and report later, so he didn't have to worry about killing some state and county officials.
There is no such thing as a scholar-official who cannot be punished. After all, in the original work, Bao Zheng even guillotined Master Pang.
"Cao Bin, I respect your ancestors!"
"Cao Bin, you must die a happy death!"
At this time, those officials who were on the verge of death finally realized that they had all been tricked by Cao Bin!
After falling into this situation, they no longer had any scruples and started yelling and cursing like crazy.
Bao Zheng suddenly threw out the verdict and shouted in a long tone: "Open... the guillotine!"
Except for his own time, this was the first time that Cao Bin saw Bao Zheng cheating on the spot, and it felt like a classic reappearance.
The guillotine fell, several heads fell to the ground, and the whole world fell silent.
Cao Bin couldn't help shivering and touched his neck unconsciously.
At this moment, cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami sounded from the people's mouths.
"Okay, good kill..."
"Master Bao is here, Shandong is at peace!"
"Master Bao is here, and the blue sky is here!"
One of them, "Da Ming", popularized it to everyone: "Master Bao is worthy of being Master Bao. As soon as he comes, the price of food will come down immediately!"
Cao Bin squeezed into the crowd with his sedan chair. Looking at the lively scene in front of him, he couldn't help but look depressed:
"You're so ignorant!"
"Why am I the one who gets scolded? The ones who get praised are all bad guys?"
Feeling depressed, Cao Bin planned to take his sedan chair outside the city to relax.
At this time, an old man suddenly stopped in front of Cao Bin and knelt down with a thud:
"Are you Uncle Zhongjing? This old man knows you. It was you who saved the lives of our Shandong people!"
"What an official..."
"May you grow old and be a father-in-law for generations to come, and may you have endless blessings and longevity!"
As he shouted, the people fell to the ground like waves of wheat:
"May Duke Zhongjing be waiting for him forever and may he live a long and prosperous life..."
When Cao Bin first saw this scene, he was surprised and suddenly felt a warmth that he had never felt before.
Self-impressed? Cao Bin despised himself.
At this time, the old man suddenly reached out and grabbed Cao Bin's boots and said, "Uncle, this old man just gave birth to a grandson, can I lend you your noble spirit?"
Before Cao Bin could react, he lifted Cao Bin's right foot and took off his boots.
"I got it, and I'm going to be successful. My grandson will be a duke in the future..."
When the others saw that Cao Bin was not angry, their eyes suddenly lit up and they rushed towards Cao Bin:
"Uncle, there is also me, I want it too..."
"Fuck!"
When Cao Bin saw this, he didn't dare to stay any longer. He didn't even bother to get his boots back and ran away with one foot bare.
The sedan hurriedly protected him behind him, turning his head and saying harshly as he ran:
"You bunch of unruly people, please return my young master's boots quickly, or I will kick you to death..."
Bao Zheng, Gongsun Ce and others were standing at the yamen gate. Seeing this lively scene, they couldn't help but smile on their faces.
Yan Chasan and Bai Yutang had complicated expressions, with frustration and unwillingness in their eyes.
At this moment, a muffled "rumbling" sound suddenly came from the distant eastern sky.
Everyone fell silent and turned their heads to the east blankly.
"Crack!"
A bolt of lightning suddenly exploded in the sky, illuminating everyone's faces.
Immediately afterwards, a little bit of coldness fell on those faces full of longing!
"It's raining! It's raining!"
"Spring rain, it's spring rain!"
The raindrops gradually formed a curtain, connecting the entire heaven and earth.
Everyone was soaked, but no one ran to take shelter from the rain. Instead, they ran and cheered in the rain...
They have longed for this rain for so long!
