Hearing what the people said, they only said that the county magistrate was a clean man, not greedy and selfless, which made Zhu Mian very helpless and he felt a little bit at a loss what to say. ,
The officials who were watching also admired Bao Mian.
They were even more unbelievable when they heard that the Qian family offered thousands of dollars of wealth and Chen Xiaoxiao, a famous prostitute from Jiangnan, but Bao Mian refused.
It is said that Chen Xiaoxiao is a beauty in heaven, a beauty in the world, and an ordinary celebrity who wants to have a night of pleasure but cannot get it.
Even the son of the former transfer envoy was refused to redeem her life, and she didn't know how she was persuaded by the Qian family.
If it were them, they might not be able to resist this temptation.
At this time, Bao Zheng couldn't help stroking his beard and nodded.
It seems that Bao Mian did not forget his warning and completely degenerated... I felt a little comforted.
Zhu Min was sitting in the main seat, frowning, looking at Bao Mian and asking:
"Bao Mian, the Qian family had a conflict with you before they were exterminated."
"The master you hired is most likely the murderer. How do you explain this?"
Now, he has no other reasons, but he is not willing to end things in a hurry, so he can only bring up the case of the Qian family's extermination and question it.
See if there's any chance to find out.
When Bao Mian heard this, he quickly said:
"Master Zhu, please tell me clearly that Xianguan had a conflict with the head of the Qian family because he wanted to prevent Xianguan from investigating the Zihe car case two years ago."
"You shouldn't kill someone just for official business, right?"
Zhu Min sneered and said:
"You are the biggest suspect in the case of the Qian family's murder. No matter how you argue, the murderer is also your trusted subordinate."
As he spoke, he looked at the people and said:
"Whoever has clues about this case, is not afraid of powerful people, and has the courage to testify, I will recommend him as an official!"
Hearing this, everyone burst into an uproar.
Not only the people, but also the officials were a little surprised. They didn't expect that Zhu Mian had such a big bargaining chip.
In doing so, the sign of deliberately embarrassment for Bao Mian is a bit obvious, and it can easily lead to criticism.
So they all looked at Cao Bin.
Most of these officials were caught by Cao Bin and were looking at him.
However, Cao Bin just narrowed his eyes and did not stop him.
With the key witness in his own hands, Zhu Min would not be able to change the situation. The more joyfully he danced, the easier it would be for him to be impeached.
Bao Zheng didn't know where the witness was, and he was both unhappy and worried.
Although he is fair and selfless, he is not willing to watch his nephew be framed.
Providing such huge benefits and bait is no longer investigating the case, but tempting people to take risks and frame them.
Just when he was about to question, a county official suddenly rushed out and shouted:
"My lords, I have evidence. I have evidence that Magistrate Bao ordered Mr. Hua to kill the Qian family."
Hearing this, everyone took a deep breath and immediately exploded. Even Bao Zheng's heart skipped a beat. He secretly thought that Bao Mian was really in danger.
It is not a trivial matter for a local gentry to be exterminated. Once the charges are proven, not even the high-ranking officials in the court can escape.
However, Zhu Min, who was sitting in the upright position, was extremely pleasantly surprised. He felt that the risk was worth it and he actually gained something, so he quickly leaned down and asked:
"What evidence do you have? Bring it out quickly. If what you say is true, I will never regret it."
The yamen servant held up a letter and said:
"Sir, this is the evidence that I stole from Magistrate Bao's study. Please check it out!"
The guard quickly took the letter and handed it to Zhu Min.
The more Zhu Min read, the happier his face became. However, after reading it, some doubts appeared on his face.
He turned around and handed the letter to Cao Bin and said:
"Honor Zhongjing, come and take a look. This letter should be true, right?"
Cao Bin took it over and looked at it for a few times, and almost burst into laughter. It turned out that the signature on it was Bao Zheng.
In the letter, he also instructed Bao Mian to kill people and silence them.
Mad, how could this be true?
Thinking of this, he glanced at Bao Mian below, and when he saw him winking secretly at him, Cao Bin understood instantly and couldn't help but feel speechless.
This kid is becoming more and more unruly, and even plots against his own uncle.
This is obviously a bitter and counterproductive plan.
Not only can Bao Zheng change his stance and help, but he can also take the opportunity to bite Zhu Ming back, making him unqualified to continue to supervise the case.
Because once this letter is exposed, Bao Zheng will understand that someone is framing Bao Mian, after all, he did not write that letter.
Then he asked the Yamen servant to betray him, saying that it was Zhu Fu who bribed him, and then he couldn't bear the consequences and walked away.
However, is it okay to frame yourself?
Cao Bin was happy to cooperate. After returning the letter to Zhu Min, he said seriously:
"Master Zhu, this matter is not trivial. Even if you cannot be sure whether it is true or false, you cannot turn a blind eye."
"In my opinion, why not take down Bao Zheng first and then report it to the court?"
The bigger this incident gets, the more unlucky Zhu Min will be in the future.
Hearing what Cao Bin said, Zhu Min hesitated. He looked at Cao Bin suspiciously for a long time, shook his head and said:
"This...Master Bao can't do this, right?"
He felt very strange. Bao Zheng was selfless and well-known all over the world. How could he suddenly show his leverage here? He always felt that someone was trying to trick him.
So he waved his hands firmly and said:
"No, I don't think Mr. Bao is like this."
"I think it's better to verify the authenticity of this letter first."
Not only were the officials confused by what he said, but even Bao Zheng was a little confused and asked:
"Master Zhu, Zhongjinghou, please tell me clearly what is said in this letter."
"If there is any need for my cooperation, I will never refuse."
Zhu Mian waved his hand and shook his head: "No need, we will talk about this later."
Saying that, he was about to leave.
At this time, Bao Mian was dumbfounded. His strategy was useless before it worked?
If Zhu Min found out the truth, he would be the unlucky one. He was suddenly sweating profusely and winked at Cao Bin repeatedly. ,
He didn't expect Zhu Mian to be so slippery!
Cao Bin was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he grabbed Zhu Min and said:
"Master Zhu, don't worry. We already have clues and are about to investigate this case."
Zhu Min was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't believe it:
"Has Zhong Jinghou already got a clue?"
Cao Bin nodded and said, "Master Zhu, please be patient. The truth will be revealed to the world soon."
Before setting off, the murderer showed signs of confessing.
With the methods of Shi Qian and others, I believe they will be able to pry open his mouth soon, just in time to cover up Bao Mian's letter.
As long as the yamen servant is loyal enough, Bao Mian can get away with it.
The worst thing is, after this incident is over, we can fish out the yamen servant.
Although Bao Mian's plan was a bit clever, the bad thing was that it was so clever that it made Zhu Min suspicious.
If he signed it Bao Zheng, he might as well have signed it Cao Bin.
After all, in everyone’s mind, Cao Bin was the only one who could do such an immoral thing of silence...
