Chapter 13 Bao Qing's imprisonment
"Bao Xiucai! You are here too!" Dong Yanran gave Bao Qing a little blessing.
After Bao Qing sold his wedding book, Dong Yanran asked around. Especially after meeting Bao Qing and Bao Liuwen on the Nanfei River, she went back to ask her father Dong Guangxiao, and finally found out the truth. She was indeed Bao Xiucai's wife who had not passed the door. No wonder Bao Xiucai always pestered her and wrote poems for her. It turned out that the other person didn't want to tease her impolitely.
But now, my wedding letter has also been retired, and I have no relationship with the Bao Xiucai in front of me. I used to hate Bao Xiucai, but when I saw Bao Liuwen and Bao Qing were together, I felt like I was poked with a needle in my heart, as if the things I originally had had were stolen.
"Miss Dong, look, I will pack this jade hairpin for you now!" said the shopkeeper.
Dong Yanran smiled bitterly and said quietly: "Forget it, Manager Wang, let it be a beautiful woman. Xiaowen, since you like it, let it go to you."
Bao Liuwen seemed to have a double talk when she heard this. Chai gave it to herself, and Brother Bao also gave it to herself. Bao Liuwen raised her head stubbornly and said slowly: "Why did Sister Dong suddenly want such a good Chai? I really have to cherish it."
Bao Qing saw the two of them surrounding this hairpin and was a little frustrated. Isn’t it just a hairpin, and pushed it around. “You don’t want it? I don’t want it anymore, I’ll buy it, the shopkeeper wraps it up.” Bao Qing thought of the tall Zhan Fang at this time, and it’s okay to give it to her.
On this day, Bao Liuwen was depressed. Until the evening, she ran to Bao Qing, stretched her hand, opened her mouth, and said with a smile: "Haha, Brother Bao is still smart, so that I won't be able to argue with Sister Dong, you can buy the hairpin yourself. Okay, give it to me now."
"Don't you want it? I bought it for someone to give it to me. I'll buy other things for you tomorrow."
"Give me some gifts? Do you know other women? Oh, give it to the tall woman who is selling arts? Don't dream. You gave me ten coins of money to others. If they have sufficient travel expenses, don't they leave early? Will they go to the bridge to sell arts tomorrow?" Bao Liuwen said sneered.
"You damn girl, I want you to tell me." Bao Qing then realized that he was so stupid and hoped to see someone tomorrow. With ten cents of money, what else can he sell for!
The next morning, Bao Qing and the others were bored in Luzhou and prepared to set off early.
"Brother Bao, it's not good! The city gate has been sealed!" Zhu Daniu ran from the city gate panting.
"In broad daylight, what kind of city gate should be sealed properly? What kind of nerves does this Luzhou magistrate have?" Bao Qing said.
Bao Qing came to the city gate. The entire city gate had been closed, and many soldiers holding spears surrounded the city gate.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way! The head of the government office chief, Captain Dong, is here."
Not far away, a team of constables were running towards the gate of the city. Everyone had a long sword hanging around their waists, and they all looked serious, as if they were facing a great enemy.
The leader was a chubby captain. He walked up to everyone, glanced at him, and said loudly: "A massacre occurred in the east of the city, and all the hundreds of people from the Lv Mansion were killed. The magistrate has an order to close the whole city and capture the real murderer. So everyone, please be careful not to be impatient."
"What? The whole family was destroyed. Could it be that the horse from Mizhou?"
"How can this be done! This is too far."
"Who knows, there are droughts and locust plagues in the Jianghuai area now. It's very messy. It's possible that the horses will kill all the way."
After this, Captain Dong said this, the following discussion began. Some people were in a hurry to go on the road and cursed. Some people like to watch the fun and were talking nonsense.
"Haha, Brother Bao, we have work to do." Bao Liuwen smiled.
"What kind of work? There is no bounty in this case, do you have to help? Besides, Brother Bao hates Dong's surname the most." Bao Qing said this a little too loudly.
At first, Captain Dong didn't care what he was discussing below. When he heard someone say he hated Dong the most, he felt angry. He rushed straight to Bao Qing and shouted, "You guy, don't be clamoring here, get out of here."
Bao Qing looked shocked and turned to curse: "It's strange, what does it have to do with you when I'm talking here? What's wrong with me if I hate someone surnamed Dong? I just hate Dong Guangxiao. Is it illegal to hate someone alone?"
"The person who came and drove this person away was very strange. If you don't go into the prison, please check it carefully. Boy, tell you that the governor Dong Guangxiao is my uncle."
"Dare you? This is your Dong family? I insist on standing here." Bao Qing was so angry that he was even illegal to speak. It depends on whether you dare to detain illegally.
Until the gang of detectives rushed up and dragged Bao Qing away with both hands. Seeing this, Zhu Daniu, who was standing beside him, hugged the Constable Dong from behind, strangled his neck with both hands, and cursed: "I see who dares, otherwise I will break this guy's neck."
"Let go! You can't use strength. Brother Bao is a scholar and has fame." Bao Liuwen shouted anxiously.
"Is there any fame? I'll kill him when I arrived at the magistrate." A constable behind cursed.
"Let him go, Brother Bao is the son-in-law of the magistrate!" Bao Liuwen shouted.
Bao Liuwen's words were indeed more effective than anything else. The constable who was dragging Bao Qing here let go. No one was stupid. He offended the son-in-law of the magistrate. Isn't this asking for trouble for himself?
The Captain Dong finally broke free from Zhu Daniu's arm, gasped, pointed at a group of detectives and cursed: "Damn, I actually believe this girl's movie, and all three of them are arrested in prison. If there is anything, I will take care of it."
Bao Qing and the other two were imprisoned. Bao Qing then realized that the Song Dynasty was not the society of his previous life, and there was any human rights to talk about. Since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials. It would be strange if you say bad things about the magistrate on the street. If you don’t get caught, you’re sorry for not being arrested. My poor brothers, who were just pulled out and beaten to the board.
"Da Niu, you are my Bao Qing's good brother!" Bao Qing patted Zhu Daniu's shoulder.
"Be gentle, Brother Bao, it hurts, don't be so numb! Why didn't you see Bao Liuwen?"
"Of course the female prisoner is detained in the female prison cell. You are stupid!"
Bao Qing and the others were detained for two days, and no one came to care about them except for the food delivery person. In fact, he didn't know that the magistrate's yamen seemed to be in a fry.
It turned out that Bao Liuwen's father, Changyuan County Magistrate Bao Hong, learned yesterday that his precious daughter had been imprisoned in the magistrate's prison. Bao Hong seemed to be crazy and took two Changsu with him, whipped her up and went day and night, and finally arrived at the magistrate's yamen early this morning.
Don’t underestimate Bao Hong. When he was young, Bao Hong was famous for his hot temper. He offended many people and got the title of fearlessness. Therefore, he was not promoted to the official position and became a county magistrate for decades.
"Your surnamed Dong, you will give me the fuck! I want to make your scandal public. You are ungrateful and dislike your son-in-law. I want to write to the court to impeach you for your misconduct and break the engagement."
Bao Hong cursed at the yamen, but Dong Guangxiao didn't dare to come out, but he kept cursing: "A shrew is a humiliating person. I will also write a letter to sue you, Bao Hong despises his superiors."
Dong Guangxiao looked at the captain Dong who was so scared that he didn't dare to speak, and kicked him: "You bastard, you are not enough to be able to do anything, get out!"
"Do you want that person to be released? He is still in prison!" Captain Dong asked in a low voice.
"You fart, let Bao Hong's daughter go, and the two of them are locked up for me. I really think that Dong Guangxiao is afraid of him. Bao Hong should be self-aware and not look at who the backer behind me is. At worst, I will go to visit Master Lu and see what he can do." Dong Guangxiao cursed.
Bao Liuwen released it. When she saw her father, she hugged her head and cried: "Dad, Bao Qing is still inside, please save him!"
"Save him? In order to save you, your father turned against Dong Guangxiao. Bao Qing deserves this, and he should be dealt with insulting officials. You don't have to worry too much. You will be released after locking up for a while. Come home with me now." Bao Hong said.
"I won't go back, I'll wait for Brother Bao to come out."
"You damn girl! You forgot your father when you have a good relationship? However, if you want to save Bao Qing, there is still a way!"
"What's the solution! Dad, tell me!" Bao Liuwen was excited.
"You go to find Dong Guangxiao's daughter. Dong Guangxiao is not a good person, but he gave birth to a good daughter. Also, in theory, Bao Qing will be fine. You have solved several strange cases in Huairen County, and Bao Qing's reputation has spread in the officialdom. I really didn't expect that Zhao Heng, he actually gave all his credit to Bao Qing."
"Really? That's great!"
"Don't be too arrogant. In fact, my father is very conflicted. Although Zhao Heng is a rare capable official, it's a pity that he is Lu Yijian's person. He has recommended Bao Qing to Master Lu. I believe that it won't take long to get a job. Daughter, you have to think clearly. If Bao Qing follows Master Lu, there will definitely be no good end in the future. You have to follow him, so you have to advise him more." Bao Hong said very seriously.
Bao Liuwen had no choice but to go to Dong Yanran with shamelessness. As expected, when Dong Yanran found out, she made a big fuss with his father, which really gave Dong Guangxiao a headache.
During this period, Dong Yanran actually accompanied Bao Liuwen to the cell to see Bao Qing. After hearing this, Dong Guangxiao was angry, but there was no way. The incident caused a lot of discussion in the entire yamen, making Dong Guangxiao difficult to get out of trouble. After letting Bao Qing go, his majesty was wiped out, and his daughter kept making trouble, making the outside world even more convinced that Bao Qing and Dong Yanran had an engagement.
"Uncle, why don't I transfer that kid to other county prisons so that the lady will not run to see him." said Captain Dong.
