Chapter 44 Deployment
When Ouyang Xiu heard this, he remained silent. Seeing that the case was less than fifteen days away from the official family’s deadline for solving the case, was Bao Qing not in a hurry at all? Or had he made a decision and was confident? Ouyang Xiu didn’t believe that Bao Qing was useless like this.
Bao Qing returned to the room, and Zhan Fang had been waiting in the room. Seeing that Bao Qing was back, Zhan Fang stepped forward and took off Bao Qing's official uniform.
"Is today going well?" Zhan Fang asked. In fact, the entire yamen knew that Bao Qing had interrogated Li Jiujin. The Zhan family and a group of relevant people were worried, hoping that something could be found in front of the imperial envoy today.
"It's not going well, I'm missing a master!" Bao Qing replied.
Seeing that Bao Qing looked a little lost and tired, Zhan Fang hugged Bao Qing in his arms and buried Bao Qing's head on his chest. Bao Qing once told Zhan Fang that he liked this the most. Indeed, this is the situation he most yearned for in his previous life.
Bao Qing buried her head on Zhan Fang's upright chest, slowly enjoying the fragrance of a woman and enjoying this elastic chest. Bao Qing watched a ray of sunlight shine through the window, and suddenly felt warm and stretched out his bones. Just as she was about to continue enjoying, the door was opened.
Bao Qing was furious. Who doesn't understand the rules so much that he doesn't even knock on the door. He was about to curse, but Bao Liuwen looked at Zhan Fang, who was showing his straight breasts in surprise. Zhan Fang was startled and stood up with shame, saying, "Xiaowen may have something to do with you, I'll go make tea!"
Bao Liuwen was still standing there blankly, staring at Zhan Fang's chest with her eyes tightly, and still gestured a few times on her chest.
After Zhan Fang left, Bao Liuwen looked at Bao Qing with clarity and asked, "Brother Bao, I am relatively young, so you don't like it?"
Bao Qing couldn't stand this question, so he had to say, "Be bigger and look better! By the way, are you here to find me?"
"Yes! It was everyone who asked me to come. Let's see how the trial is today?"
"Then wasn't Dong Guangxiao present? Why didn't Dong Yanran ask him?"
"Hmph, you will know Zhan Fang! Even if you don't come to see Sister Yanran, Sister Yanran is almost angry."
"Isn't this a busy person?" Bao Qing said, Zhan Fang came after brewing tea.
"Don't give it to her, give it to me first, I'm a little thirsty!" Bao Qing said.
"Don't you like drinking white water?" Zhan Fang and Bao Liuwen asked together.
"Baishui? I am willing to drink white water! Have you made tea for me before? There are so many people coming and going, and you always make tea when you see everyone. But you didn't make tea for me!"
Bao Liuwen laughed and said, "Who told you not to say that? I thought you like to drink white water. Haha, I'll tell Sister Yanran that I will make her laugh at you!"
Just as Bao Liuwen was about to leave, Bao Qing sprayed the tea out.
"What? It's so hot?" Zhan Fang asked.
"No, no! Is this tea? Good tea?" Bao Qing was a little unbelievable. Did he make a mistake? Why is it not delicious at all, and his mouth is full of greenness, and there is no tea fragrance.
Bao Liuwen looked at Bao Qing in confusion, walked over and took a sip with the teacup, and smiled and said, "So you have never drunk tea! Haha, no wonder, who made you a poor scholar before!"
"Xiaowen, don't say that to Brother Bao!" Zhan Fang said hurriedly.
"I haven't drunk tea? It's ridiculous! Zhan Fang, take the tea and take a look!"
After a while, Zhan Fang brought the tea. Bao Qing opened the outer wrapping paper and saw that it was a piece of compressed tea that looked like a brick. Indeed, this is brick tea. It was very popular in the Song Dynasty, and the emperor even drank it. Bao Qing didn't know.
"No wonder, you just drink these? Come on, let's see how your brother Bao asks you to make good tea!" Bao Qing actually didn't know, but he knew that the tea in later generations was fried. Although he didn't know how to fry, he told Bao Liuwen the method to let the energetic little girl do something. Maybe she could really fry the tea, and she could also prevent Bao Liuwen from running around in a free time and disturbing her good things.
Bao Liuwen leaned over, and Bao Qing said the fried tea leaves he guessed. Bao Liuwen nodded in confusion after hearing this and said, "Can it work?"
"Yes, of course, you can do it together with Yanran. If this is done well, the emperor likes to drink your tea. That may make the emperor happy and you will be able to restore your father's position!"
"I don't want my father to be restored, I just want him to come out safely!" said Bao Liuwen.
"Don't worry, it's your brother Bao!" Bao Qing comforted. Bao Liuwen ran away happily after hearing this.
"Brother Bao, you are not lying to Xiaowen, are you?" Zhan Fang asked with some concern.
"Look at how I've ever lied to a woman?"
"No? I was just being deceived into bed by you? I asked me to protect you! You like to bully me!" Zhan Fang said, his face turned red.
Bao Qing looked at Zhan Fang's incomparable appearance and hugged her over, and the two of them rolled onto the bed.
The next morning, when Zhan Fang was serving Bao Qing to dress, Bao Qing said to Zhan Fang: "Today, you bring the dynasty Ma Han to me, I have something to tell you!"
After breakfast, Zhan Fang came to find Bao Qing with the dynasty Ma Han, and saw Bao Qing and saluted Bao Qing together.
"Sir, what are you going to give me?" Ma Han asked.
Bao Qingli's thoughts were made and said, "Now I'm short of funds, which means I don't have enough money to spend! You follow Zhan Fang to the Li family's mansion to see if you can find valuables, and then call Zhu Daniu and ask him to seal all the Li family's shops and sell them for money."
"My Lord means robbing all the money from the Li family?" Wang Chao looked at Bao Qing in disbelief. In their minds, Master Bao is Master Qingtian, how could he be a robber?
"How do you say it? Then Li Jiujin is a very vicious criminal. Now the yamen has no money, so you need to confiscate the villain's money first. Do you understand? I know that you can't find his money. Perhaps the Li family's money is not in Changyuan County. But the shops shouldn't be able to escape!" Bao Qing said.
"Yes! Sir!" After Wang Chao Ma Han went out, Zhan Fang hurriedly closed the door.
"Brother Bao? Are you preparing to run away? Then should I notify my brother and the others?" Zhan Fang asked.
"What? Do you think I was raising money to escape? I, Bao Qing, is so unbearable in your mind?" Bao Qing was shocked. The reason why he wanted money was that he wanted to do a big thing, which required a lot of money. Now he is a pauper and there is not much money in the yamen.
"Then what do you want money?"
"What are you doing? Build a dam! A dam that can intercept the water from the upper reaches of the Nanfei River! By the way, isn't the Li family selling river engineering materials? Let Captain Qian go to prison to pick up a few servants from the Li family and let them be responsible for getting the materials!" Bao Qing said.
"ah?"
"Don't! You go now, and then call Qin Zhuan and a few Cao Shi to the central hall of the yamen! I will go to find Lord Ouyang in a while!" Bao Qing said.
After a while, the chief clerk of Qin and a few Cao Shi came. Bao Qing sat upright in the middle hall, silently speaking.
"Mr. Bao!" Qin Zhubu asked.
"Chief Qin, I remember you have a good relationship with Li Jiujin! You often go to his house to eat and drink. Last night, Li Jiujin shouted to see you. I called you here today just to let you meet Li Jiujin. According to Li Jiujin, everyone here has a deep relationship with him!" Bao Qing said lightly.
How could Qin Zhuan not know that Bao Qing is a person, just a complete official fraud, very cunning. He was dragged into the water when he opened the warehouse and released grain last time. Now Bao Qing’s words are not sure what bad ideas are being thought of. But as he said Li Jiujin, he could not have anything to do with him. Now the imperial envoy is investigating him. Besides, if Bao Qing cannot solve the case, the officials in Changyuan County probably won’t have a good end. The official’s first imperial edict was very clear. So he had to cooperate with Bao Qing to solve the case.
The chief clerk Qin wanted to get through the joints and quickly said, "Sir, don't joke with us. We just drink with Li Jiujin, just for official social engagements. Sir, just tell me what you have. My subordinates will definitely serve you!"
Seeing that the chief clerk of Qin was quite conscious, Bao Qing stopped talking about those who thought about many dangers. Bao Qing slammed the table and said, "Okay, I'll just say it. If this case is solved and the official rewards will definitely be a lot of you. I want you to gather all the victims who are still staying in this county, find a narrow river surface upstream of the Nanfei River in this county, and build a dike for me!"
"What? What do you mean by storing the upper stream? What does this mean?" Qin Zhuan asked in surprise. This temporary interception of the upper stream is not a joke. Now the flood has just improved slightly. The interception may lead to upstream floods. Moreover, such embankment construction projects are quite expensive and costly, which is a waste of money. Not only that, this temporary embankment can easily break the embankment.
"I will supply all the river engineering materials and money, including the joints of the state capital. The key is you. I ask you not to take more than ten days. I want the Nanfei River to intercept the flow, and at least one day, and break the dike and release the water in one day." Bao Qing's tone was extremely serious. He calculated that the remaining period was only about eleven days.
"This!" Qin Zhubu and several Cao Shi seemed silent.
"I will ask the dynasty Ma Han to concentrate all your wives, children, and children in the yamen to protect them. You can do it. If it fails, let's go to the prison together! Of course, the details of my instructions today should not be circulated outside the public, and a notice is posted, saying that the county government is preparing to control the water!"
When Qin Zhubu and others heard this, they cursed in their hearts. The Baoer was playing this again. Whenever they came, they would catch people from all over the family. They were really shameless. But there was no choice but to nod and agree.
"I remind you again that what you have done is the key to solving the case. I will ask the imperial envoy Fan to give me the right to deal with it on the spot. In other words, if the delay in your river embankment project affects my process of solving the case, I will definitely kill you first!" Bao Qing said loudly.
