Outside the government office of Yuyao County.
Zhu Min closed his hand and held a gong, banging it randomly while shouting:
"People, listen carefully. Mr. Zhu, the transfer envoy between Zhejiang and Zhejiang, will make decisions for the people today and investigate and deal with corrupt officials."
"Whether it's exposing Yuyao County's corruption and perversion of the law, accepting bribes, or providing clues to the murder of the Qian family, we can all be the first to expose it!"
"Anyone who can find evidence will be rewarded with five hangings."
At this time, all the officials were already sitting outside the Yamen. Zhu Min and Cao Bin were sitting at the main seats, waiting for the people to come.
In a short time, the people of Yuyao surrounded the yamen entrance with three floors inside and three floors outside.
A neatly dressed old man in front of him glanced at Bao Wuli, who was sitting at the end, stepped forward and saluted:
"My lords, Magistrate Bao is upright and upright, and he has done no wrong. Why..."
When Zhu Min saw him coming forward, he thought he was going to report Bao Mian, but unexpectedly he came to question him. His face suddenly darkened and he said:
"I act with my own reasons, stand down!"
Seeing this, the old man could only shake his head helplessly and retreat into the crowd.
Zhu Min then raised his head and asked:
"Don't be afraid, just speak out boldly. If Bao Mian is guilty, I will deal with him impartially."
The people suddenly fell silent.
Zhu Min's expression became even worse and he said:
"Twenty guan. If you can expose Bao Mian, I will reward him with twenty guan!"
At this time, a man with a crooked mouth and slanted eyes and swaying his arms and hips asked:
"Master Zhu, Mr. Bao has such a big background. Can you guarantee our safety?"
Before Zhu Min could speak, Cao Bin leaned down, looked at the man, and said with a smile:
"Are you talking about me, the loyal Marquis? Don't worry, even if you expose me, I promise that I will never cover up 'revenge' for Bao Mian!"
When the man heard this, he shrank his neck in fright and sneered quickly:
"My lord has misunderstood, I will ask, ask."
After saying that, he quickly retreated into the crowd, cursing secretly in his heart that he was almost tricked.
Zhu Min turned his head and glanced at Cao Bin, filled with annoyance. How could this be a promise? It's clearly a threat.
Bao Mian glanced at Cao Bin gratefully, and his back immediately straightened up.
He often promotes his background. Why is he using the tiger skin as a banner? This is to reduce doubts and make government orders easier to pass.
At this point, he particularly agreed with Cao Bin's approach, and once envied him for having a powerful father-in-law, and was not ashamed of it.
So when he was sent to serve as an official, he took it directly and used it.
Facts have proved that this method is very effective. Not only the superior is very tolerant of him, but also his subordinates are in awe.
There are almost no other officials who are busy fighting for power internally and trying to please their superiors.
Just when he was feeling proud, Bao Zheng suddenly looked serious and said:
"Since you are an official, you must have the courage to face the people's doubts. Please Zhongjing Hou not to block the people's way of speech!"
Bao Mian's relaxed look suddenly stopped, and he felt a little resentful in his heart.
Cao Bin was also a little speechless. He felt that this method was unreasonable and too harsh, so he opened his mouth to protect him.
Unexpectedly, Bao Zheng didn't appreciate it.
Perhaps he didn't realize that this approach was nit-picking.
If Bao Mian was not his nephew, he might not be so harsh, but he would not allow Bao Mian to use this method to escape responsibility.
Cao Bin gave Bao Mian a self-seeking look and was too lazy to say anything more.
Upon seeing this, Zhu Min immediately said:
"If anyone reports evidence and proves it, I will reward him with a hundred guan."
As the saying goes, man dies for wealth and bird dies for food. Under heavy rewards, there will be brave men.
Sure enough, when the young man heard this, he quickly ran out again, his eyes shining brightly and he said:
"I'll report it!"
The people around him immediately shouted angrily:
"Laisan, come back, do you want to frame Master Bao?"
The old man was so angry that he was blowing his beard and staring, as if he wanted to eat Na Lai San.
When the surrounding guards heard this, they immediately drew their swords and threatened:
"Quiet!"
When Lai San saw this, he didn't dare to delay and said quickly:
"There are often rich gentry coming in and out with money and prostitutes in the county government office. Mr. Bao must accept bribes..."
When Zhu Min saw that he was not finished talking, he immediately slapped his hands and yelled angrily:
"Shut up and get to the point!"
He was a little depressed. Is there any need to ask you about something that has no evidence and is even irrelevant?
The key point is whether he has committed a crime for bribery, and it is best to have clues about the Qian family's extermination case.
Na Laisan was startled, racked his brains to think about it, and said quickly:
"Master, I remember."
"A few days ago, Chen's son-in-law died. Everyone said he was killed by the Chen family's daughter."
"Chen Yuanwai took his daughter to the Yamen and stayed there for a day and a night, but nothing happened."
"In my humble opinion, Mr. Bao must have slept with the beautiful young lady of the Chen family and exonerated her, hehe..."
When Zhu Min heard about this case, although he was a little disappointed, it was still a piece of meat, so he was shocked and said:
"Come here, take the Chen family father and daughter..."
Before he could finish speaking, a fat man rushed out, kicked Lai San, and cursed angrily:
"You bastard, how dare you ruin my daughter's reputation!"
Zhu Min said angrily:
"Stop, tell me, what's going on?"
Chen Yuanwai quickly knelt down and said:
"Sir, this is unfair. All the gentry in Yuyao know that Magistrate Bao does not accept money, and he is not a womanizer."
"The common people brought their daughters to the yamen just to avoid the evil things as the sorcerer said."
"My daughter is still a virgin. If you don't believe it, I can ask Po Wen to check it out!"
Hearing this, there was an uproar immediately, and Zhu Min said angrily:
"Nonsense, your son-in-law just died, why do you say your daughter is a virgin?"
Chen Yuanwai quickly explained:
"It's true that my former son-in-law was inhumane, so my daughter was afraid that he would turn into a ghost and get entangled, so she had to go to a place with strict laws and regulations to escape."
After speaking, he faced everyone with a smile and said:
"Everyone, Mr. Chen's family is extremely wealthy, but his daughter is still innocent. He is looking for another young talent..."
It turns out that he broke the news to his family because he wanted to advertise for a son-in-law. Now this occasion is so suitable and authoritative!
Zhu Min was almost fuming with anger:
"roll!"
Chen Yuanwai quickly said seriously:
"Master Zhu, please don't be angry. The common people are telling the truth. All the gentry in our county know that Magistrate Bao has kept himself clean."
“The victim’s Qian family fell out with Bao County Magistrate because they were refused the famous prostitutes, gold and silver they offered to Bao County Magistrate.”
"Besides, Magistrate Bao's family was very wealthy before he took office, and he still doesn't have any concubines. How can he be a greedy and lustful person?"
When the people heard this, they also said:
"My lords, you have a clear conscience, please don't listen to Xin San's words. You will wrongly accuse Mr. Bao!"
"None of the neighboring counties are poor and miserable. Only with Master Bao can we in Yuyao live in peace..."
Hearing what the people said, Bao Mian felt grateful, embarrassed, and even glanced at Cao Bin with resentment.
It's not that he doesn't like women, but he has some psychological problems from his time in Xiangzhou. He's fine when he sees a beautiful woman, and he's fine when he sees a bed.
But when he saw the bed and the beautiful woman at the same time, his legs felt weak and his waist hurt...
Cao Bin threw him in a brothel for three days and three nights, almost letting him play with himself to death. After that, he couldn't avoid these things.
Don't look at him being cool and carefree just to socialize, but he is nothing more than a silver pewter spear head...
