This Northern Song Dynasty is a bit weird

Chapter 107 Bao Zheng asks for help
Because it successfully rescued a group of people who were abducted by Wuyou Cave, this was the most successful time to deal with the chaos in Wuyou Cave in decades.

Therefore, in the entire capital, those families whose relatives were missing sent people to the Kaifeng Mansion, begging the Governor of Bao Mansion to step up rescue efforts, trying to rescue their relatives back.

They didn't dare to attack the government, but they knelt at the door and shouted loudly to save people.

For two days, I knelt from morning to night, then broke up, and came again the next morning.

Bao Zheng came out several times and explained: things are already being done, but due to the nature of secrecy, the gangsters in Wuyou Cave cannot be allowed to know the plan of Kaifeng Mansion, so the date of the specific action is uncertain.

This persuaded those people to go back.

The family members of the lost people also understand that if the news of Kaifeng Mansion's actions leaks, then the hope of rescuing their relatives will be even slimmer.

Zhan Zhao watched the kneeling neighbors disperse at the door, and heaved a sigh of relief.

In the past two days, the entire Kaifeng Mansion has been busy. It is hard work to resettle the victims, clean up the scene, and interrogate the arrested Wuyoudong members.

But even so, no one in the Kaifeng Mansion complained.

After all, this is the first time in Kaifeng Mansion that Wuyou Cave has been hurt in a real sense.

Zhan Zhao returned to his patrol room, changed into regular clothes, picked up a hollow yellow crystal ball, put it in his clothes, and then left Kaifeng mansion, walking up the short hill.

After two sticks of incense, Lu Sen received Zhan Zhao in the gazebo.

"No matter when you come, this place makes people linger and forget to return." Zhan Zhao said enviously, and then put the citrine on the table: "Lu Xiaolang, this thing has been washed with well water, and there is no peculiar smell. "

Lu Sen took the yellow crystal ball into his hand and placed it on a red box.

Later, Zhan Zhao was surprised to find that there was a faint lightning gushing out of the red box, penetrating into the crystal ball, and storing it.

"Is this magic weapon powered by lightning?" Zhan Zhao asked curiously.

"Yes." Lu Sen nodded: "So every two days of use, you have to charge it once."

Zhan Zhao looked at the crystal ball curiously again, then looked away, cupped his fists and said, "Yin Bao asked me to thank you again on his behalf. He said that if it wasn't for the help of Lu Zhenren, no matter how hard Kaifeng Mansion spent, No one can be saved."

Indeed...the sewers in Bianjing City extend in all directions, it is completely a three-dimensional underground kingdom, besides, apart from Wuyou Cave and Ghost Fan Tower, no one else knows the terrain below.

In other words, even the people in Wuyoudong only know part of the terrain, and each group below controls a small area of ​​the terrain, and thus formed many small groups, fighting against each other, cooperating with each other, and checking and balancing each other.

It is extremely difficult for outsiders to enter the Wuyou Cave and find someone. If they are not careful, they will get lost inside.

But with this detector, the situation is different. Although it can only display a radius of about 200 meters, it is a three-dimensional detection range. Therefore, the information obtained needs to be obtained through a flat map. Represent it in a 3D diagram that everyone can understand.

The more complex the terrain, the more effective this detection method will be.

What's more, this detector can also detect life.

So as long as there are people within 200 meters, it can also show them.

Relying on such information, Zhan Zhao and Lu Sen could easily locate the place where a large number of beggars gathered in Wuyou Cave.

Hearing Zhan Zhao mentioning Bao Zheng, Lu Sen also laughed: "In a few days, the life of Governor Bao will not be so easy!"

Zhan Zhao was a little confused.

Lu Sen didn't say much, just chatting with the other party.

In the evening, the crystal ball was fully charged and was taken away by Zhan Zhao.

He already knew how to use this thing, so naturally he didn't need Lu Sen to follow him.

Besides, Zhan Zhao also felt that it was not very 'humane' for Lu Sen, a real land god, to follow him through the stinking sewers.

I'm a warrior, I'm used to coming and going in the wind and rain.

But Daoist Lu is a banished immortal who is refined from other worlds, so how could he be like this.

After that, Zhanzhao relied on this detector to successfully go underground three times, rescued more than 500 former missing persons, and killed a large number of vicious Wuyoudong beggars at the same time.

All of a sudden, Kaifeng Mansion's reputation in Bianjing soared, and the fame of Zhan Zhao and other arrests rose sharply, while Bao Zheng's personal reputation reached an exaggerated level.

Then, as Lu Sen predicted, the questioning of Bao Zheng also came.

Several officials stood up and accused Kaifeng Mansion of killing too much during this period.

More than half a month, four operations, killed at least six or seven hundred beggars.The mortuary is no longer fully staffed.

The corpses of these beggars could only be dragged to the barren hills hundreds of miles away to dig pits and bury them with ox-drawn carts.

Bao Zheng stood on the left under the dragon chair. He squinted his eyes slightly, watching the officials come up one after another, and then go down one after another.

When encountering this kind of thing, he habitually looked to his left, but only saw a cloud of air.

The Eight Sage Kings have been gone for several months.

Now in the court, there are not many people who can help him, and all of them have been sent out.

He suddenly had the feeling of 'fighting alone'.

It's just that Bao Zheng's mind is extremely strong, this feeling is just a moment of weakness, and then his mood is as usual, quietly watching the last young speaker finish speaking.

All eyes fell on him.

Zhao Zhen stroked his forehead, his eyes were bloodshot.This is not caused by anger or staying up late, but that people with high blood pressure will have more bloodshot eyes than ordinary people.

"Bao Aiqing, what do you think?"

Although Zhao Zhen is not considered a great talent, he can still be regarded as a qualified emperor, but his temper is soft.

He didn't believe a word of what the official said, but he believed Bao Zheng more.

Bao Zheng cupped his hands and said: "I just did what I should do, and I assert here that anyone who speaks for Wuyoudong must be inextricably related to it."

After finishing speaking, Bao Zheng's eyes swept across the speakers just now, his face was expressionless, but the killing intent in his eyes burst out.

Baiguan was in an uproar.

Only Taishi Pang showed a meaningful smile.

Although Bao Zheng saw that those officials were disturbed, they were not too afraid, and stood up again, accusing Bao Zheng with words, saying that he randomly assigned crimes, excluded dissidents, and so on.

Of course, there were quite a few people who supported Bao Zheng, and many people stood up immediately, and both sides accused and attacked each other.

Chaotang suddenly became chaotic.

Zhao Zhen sighed for a long time, and stroked his aching forehead: "It's obviously a good thing, why are we arguing again?"

Compared to the 'hot' atmosphere in the court, Lu Sen's life is quite carefree.

Because of the foot ban, Bilian, Lingo, and Heizhu seldom leave Aishan.

Only Lu Sen and Yang Jinhua can go out.

The main thing is that Lu Sen has his own "iron armor". As long as he is not besieged by more than a dozen masters at the same time, it is almost impossible to crack his defense in a short time.

What's more, assassination is about one hit and one shot. Under normal circumstances, the assassin would probably run away when he saw that he couldn't break through Lu Sen's defense. The idiot continued to fight an 'invulnerable' person.

And Yang Jinhua is powerful.

It has been half a year since she was married to Lu Sen, and she is offered fruit and honey every day. She can practice martial arts with a very high load every day, and three hours can equal the amount of others for three or four days.

So now her strength is growing rapidly, and she is already very powerful, but now she is much stronger.

Although he was still not as good as his mother, Marshal Mu, it was still very difficult to assassinate her in Bianjing City.

In particular, she not only has some small equipment made by Lu Sen, but also a top-quality accessory with 'defense' +3.

Can greatly reduce the direct attack damage received.

Counting these things, in a real fight, Mu Guiying may not be able to beat Yang Jinhua who is in a 'full state'.

After all, 'equipment' can greatly improve one's strength.

Lu Sen seldom goes to court now, and often goes to "sit in court" in the Ministry of Rites.

The post of doctor in the temple department was originally an idle job, and only when there were large-scale festivals, some instructions were needed, but only instructions were needed, and the rest of the work was handled by his subordinates.

Holding a pot of clear tea in his hand, and looking at the files in the Ministry of Rites over the years, he can live a day, quite the splendor of an elderly civil servant.

For such a blatant act of 'goofing off', the Ministry of Rites not only did not feel that Lu Sen had done something wrong, but was full of praise.

"Really Lu is pure-hearted and ascetic, and has no quarrel with the world. '

It has to be said that special personnel and special positions will make people have different opinions.

If it were changed to a position like the magistrate, it would be an evaluation like 'a vegetarian meal in the corpse'.

Lu Sen was drinking tea again that day, but unexpectedly, an unexpected guest came to the Ministry of Rites.

"Really Lu, I haven't seen you for a few days." Bao Zheng cupped his hands and sat opposite Lu Sen.

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Lu Sen stopped reading the dossier. He raised his head and looked at the other party, a little surprised: "Fu Yin Bao, why are you here?"

"What do you say, I'm also a privy envoy who knows the affairs of the Kaifeng government. It's not a big problem to come to the Ministry of Rites." Bao Zheng smiled rarely.

Lu Lin sat up straight, cupped his fists and said, "Of course there is no problem if you come to the Ministry of Rites, but if you come to me on your own initiative, then there is a problem."

Bao Zheng's smile froze, and then he said helplessly: "Really Lu's words are straighter than this black-faced official."

Lu Sen chuckled lightly, but didn't speak.

What Bao Zheng said just now is actually a double standard.

There were many "straight men of steel" in the official circles of the Northern Song Dynasty, and there were quite a few people who dared to speak out about the right and wrong of the official family. Among them, Bao Zheng was definitely ranked among the top three.

He himself was so happy to beat people up every day, but now that Lu Sen beat him to the face, he felt that Lu Sen's words were straight, and this was not a double standard!
Seeing Lu Sen's weird smile, Bao Zheng thought about it, and knew that what he said just now did have the meaning of "thief shouting "stop thief".He coughed lightly, and immediately changed the subject and said, "I want to meet with the Prince of Runan County in private, and please ask Master Lu to set up the line for you."

After all, Bao Zheng clasped his fists and saluted very seriously.

Lu Sen was stunned for a moment: "Mount Tai goes to court almost every day, and Baofu Yin just goes to him directly, why bother to go through my procedure?"

"He doesn't want to talk more with this officer." Bao Zheng had a rather helpless expression: "When I saw this officer approaching, he blew his beard and stared, or just walked away."

It would be weird if he didn't blow his beard and stare.

Lu Sen also knew something about this.

Because the King of Runan has a big business, the famous hotels in the capital are managed by the King of Runan's white gloves.

The business has grown and the money has become a number, so I want to do something good.

Therefore, the taverns and hotels of the King of Runan will give out porridge every once in a while, or use other methods to help the poor and beggars in the city.

If this matter is done too much, it will naturally be given to some beggars in Wuyou Cave.

If it's an ordinary official, just let this matter go.

But Bao Zheng was different. He temporarily sealed more than a dozen of the property of the Runan County King, checked carefully and confirmed that the property of the Runan County King was not related to Wuyou Cave, and then removed the seal.

This caused the Runan County King to lose a lot of money.

In fact, it’s okay to lose some money, but the situation is different if you lose face.

So the King of Runan County will get angry when he sees Bao Zheng now.

"It seems that Baofu Yin needs to find someone to join forces." Lu Sen propped his chin and looked at the other party with interest: "How, how does it feel to be betrayed by one of your own?"

Bao Zheng snorted: "The ideas are different, so why say betrayal."

"You are simply being stubborn." Lu Sen smiled happily: "The killing is too heavy! This kind of note, which is usually only posted on the forehead of a warrior, is actually posted on Bao Longtu's forehead. Do you think it's funny? ?”

Bao Zheng's eyelids twitched, he sat up straight, and was about to speak, but after thinking about it, his body slumped slightly: "To do something, of course you have to pay a heavy code."

"Well, what you said makes sense." Lu Sen clicked his tongue: "But when General Di pacified the Southwest, that's not what the government officials such as Bao Fu Yin and Ba Xian Wang said."

In fact, Lu Sen has not said that after he served as a supervisor and killed [-] enemies, although Bao Zheng didn't say anything in the court, he basically agreed with Lu Sen's return, and believed that Lu Sen had indeed killed Heavy.

It's just that I didn't express my point of view, but I mentioned it to the Eight Sage Kings many times in private.

Bao Zheng felt a little embarrassed.

Few civil officials in the Northern Song Dynasty were reliable.

Suppressing warriors is a national policy, can it be compared with literati?

The literati contradict themselves in what they say and do, that's the 'deep meaning', if you don't realize it, it's your own business!
It's just that Bao Zheng understood that such a fallacy would not work with Lu Sen. Seeing that Lu Sen was mocking him, he stood up and said, "If Master Lu doesn't want to help, I will leave now, and there are still business matters. Waiting to be dealt with."

"Don't worry, Baofu Yin, you can see the King of Runan County." Lu Sen also stood up: "Of course, I don't want to care about the specific content of the conversation."

Bao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Master Lu. When there is any news, please come to Kaifeng Mansion to inform me."

After speaking, Bao Zheng turned around and left.

He didn't really want to stay with Lu Sen, because he felt that Lu Sen's theory, or Lu Sen's practice, seemed a bit abnormal.

After Bao Zheng left, Lu Lin had no intention of looking at the files. He wanted to go home and take a look, but as soon as he got out of the gate, he saw someone blocking him in the middle of the street, not letting him go. .

Seeing his actions, Lu Sen immediately became unhappy: "Envoy Xiao, you are standing in the middle of the road, and you will go wherever I go. Are you entertaining me?"
