148 [The Demand of the Dumb Wolf](1/2)
Bao Zhengshengtang interrogated the men in black who were arrested.
The leader is a big bearded man, but he is very cooperative. Is the master of the current affairs a hero? It is better to fall into the hands of Lord Bao than to fall into Zhao Pu.
It turned out that these people were all Hu bandits who did evil in the northern border area. This time they were just collecting money to do things for others. Whether they kidnapped Changsun Ji's grandson or threatening Changsun's family to kidnap Grand Master Pang, they were all confessed by the people who gave him money.
Bao Zheng felt that he wanted to shirk responsibility, but the bandit spread his hands and said that he was not from Kaifeng City, nor even from Han people. If it weren't for someone's instructions, he wouldn't even know which one was Mr. Pang.
Lord Bao asked and found that he shouldn't be lying, so he asked who was instructing him.
The Hu bandit said that the man was masked and was very cautious, and his voice was very dull. I don’t know if it was his true voice. In addition, this person is of medium size and neither fat nor thin, so he should be covered in the streets. He can’t tell any characteristics from his body shape. The only thing that can be confirmed is that the man is a man and is not old.
Bao Zheng tried for a long time, but there was no useful clue, and he was a little disappointed, so he asked someone to bet all of these people down to Zhan Xiao.
Gongsun sorted out the records of this class and looked up at Bao Zheng, "Sir, there is no useful clue."
Bao Zheng nodded and sighed, "Old Pang doesn't know who he offended."
Gongsun sorted out the file and said, "I think it may not be that the Taishi offended people."
Lord Bao wanted to hear Gongsun’s opinion with great interest, “What do you think sir?”
"First of all, I think that person may be a high-ranking official who often enters the palace, or knows a high-ranking official who often enters the palace. At least he knows a lot about the personnel, environment, etc. inside the imperial city, otherwise he would not know that only the Changsun family can have a way to kidnap Grand Master Pang from the heavily guarded palace."
Bao Zheng nodded, "I think so too."
"In addition," Gongsun said, "If the Grand Master offended someone, then sending someone to kill him directly is actually much easier than kidnapping him!"
Bao Zheng also nodded, "But Pang Ji is really not an important person, why did he kidnap him? But he is Pang's father again. Pang Fei is about to give birth to the eldest princess. Is it related to this?"
Gongsun seemed to have thought of something again, but he didn't say anything to him, and looked at Bao Zheng.
"Sir, it's okay." Bao Zheng asked quickly, "But what have you found?"
"Does the adults feel strange?" Gongsun asked, "Why can't you wait for Concubine Pang to give birth, or when the guards are not so tight in a while, then look for an opportunity outside the palace to kidnap the Grand Master? Although Changsun Ji is familiar with the terrain, it is too risky to tie people in the palace! The other party also said that he would tie people up within three days, and they seemed to be very anxious if they didn't realize it?"
"Yes." Mr. Bao nodded. Gongsun noticed something that everyone ignored, and he was obviously a little anxious.
At this time, the back door of the lobby was opened by Zhang Long and Zhao Hu. Everyone who heard that the case had been tried in front ran over and wanted to see the situation.
After Gongsun briefly, everyone was a little disappointed. It turned out that it was just a chess piece.
"Old Bao, if you don't reply, just let it go?" Master Pang was anxious, "This means I didn't ask! What should I do if someone tied me up in a few days? My granddaughter is about to be born!"
After the Taishi said that, Bao Zheng suddenly looked at Pang Ji, with a big black face and a pair of black and white eyes, making Taishi Pang shrink his neck.
"Look... see what?" The Grand Master was dissatisfied, "You can't be afraid of death?"
Bao Zheng said to himself, "Is it related to the coming palace lord?"
Pang Ji was stunned, and Pang Yu was also surprised, "What does it have to do with my niece?"
"Well..." Bao Zheng touched his chin and thought about his thoughts.
Master Pang also touched his chin and thought about it, and then... both of them seemed to have thought of something.
Bao Zheng glanced at the Master with his eyes slanted.
The Grand Master seemed a little guilty and a little scheming. His eyes rolled twice. Bao Zheng raised his hand, and with a "pop", he threw the table on the table.
The sound was so shocked that Master Pang jumped, and the little Sizi also patted his chest, which scared him so much that he was pounding his heart.
Xiao Liang quickly reached out to pat him.
Everyone looked at Bao Zheng in surprise.
Bao Zheng reached out and pointed at Master Pang, "What have you done recently?"
Master Pang opened his mouth for a while, "I...what am I doing? I don't go to the palace to accompany my daughter every day."
Bao Zheng raised his eyebrows and widened his eyes. He read the full text of the scary lottery.
Everyone couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths. No wonder when Lord Bao glared at him during the trial, many prisoners confessed honestly, and it turned out that they were scared.
Pang Yu looked at the Grand Master in discomfort, "Dad, what have you done recently that people can kidnap you?"
The Grand Master scratched his ears and foreheads, "It should be irrelevant...tsk, this..."
Mr. Bao grabbed the token on the table, "Do you say, don't you? If you don't say, I'll draw you forty boards, you may remember it!"
The Master was shocked and covered his butt, "You, you..."
"What are you?" Lord Bao wanted to throw him away with the gavel. Bao Yan hurriedly hugged his father, while Pang Yu blocked his father. While advising Lord Bao to calm down, he turned around and asked Pang Ji, "Dad, what are you doing?"
"Oh! I said it, I said." The Grand Master shook his sleeves.
Everyone looked at each other - let alone, Lord Bao really understands Master Pang.
The Grand Master touched his chin and seemed to have some clues, "It might be because of that."
"What's the matter?" Everyone asked him in unison.
The Grand Master looked at everyone and said, "I'm not doing anything. Recently, in addition to taking care of my daughter, I also greeted several friends from all over the world who used to exchange treasures and antiques, saying that I wanted to buy some gifts for the future emperor grandson. If they have any treasures on their hands, they will take them to me."
Everyone frowned after hearing this - Is there any problem with this?
Bao Zheng was dissatisfied, "That's all?"
The Grand Master coughed, and before he finished his gesture, he continued, "That's the case. I have really found a few good things during this period and planned to wait for the baby to be born as a gift, but a while ago, there was a sudden thief at home!"
"Oh...it's just a thief." Pang Yu also knew.
The Master nodded, "That night, a thief entered my treasure house..."
Everyone raised their eyebrows - Yo! Do you have a treasure house?
The Grand Master stamped his feet, "I am not greedy for money, but earned from business and salary!"
Everyone looked at the sky.
The Grand Master still wants to stamp his feet.
Bao Zheng interrupted him, "You continue to say, the point!"
"Oh." The Master came to his senses and said, "The point is that the thief entered the treasure house and didn't take anything. He continued to search in the mansion, and was finally discovered."
Everyone found it strange - if they came to steal money and treasures, then they all entered the treasure house and didn't take anything? Then they looked for it, indicating that the things he wanted were not in the treasure house.
"Is anyone usually going to steal the Grand Tutor's Mansion?" Bai Yutang asked.
Zhan Zhao nodded, "The Grand Tutor's Mansion is strictly guarded, and it is not far from Fengfu and Sansi. There are imperial city troops patrolling nearby and there are masters in the mansion. They are indeed brave."
"Actually, most of my treasures are kept in the treasure house. Of course, the collection of ladies does not count." When the Grand Master said this, he saw everyone blaming him again.
The Grand Master continued to stamp his feet, "My wife is a wealthy family with many dowry!"
Everyone then raised their eyebrows. The Grand Master was anxious and pointed at Bai Yutang who was drinking tea casually beside him. "He has more money than me and spends money like money, why don't you look at him?"
Bai Yutang put down the teacup and said slowly, "The reputation is good, the arcade era." As he said that, he pointed to himself, said two words, "The hero", and then pointed to Taishi Pang, and said two words, "Corrupt Official". After saying that, he continued to drink tea slowly.
Everyone nodded, yes...
The Master was so angry that he almost passed by again.
Bao Zheng tugged at his beard, "Stay on!"
The Grand Master then returned and said, "I thought about it all over and over. That day, the only few gifts I received for my grandson were all in my room and didn't enter the treasure house!"
"What are you doing in the room?" Bao Zheng was puzzled.
"That day I found a few brocade boxes and tried the boxes with my wife to see which brocade box is better." The Grand Master sat down, and was a little puzzled, "But those babies are of no use, they are all decorations. As for spending so much effort to grab them?"
"Where are those babies?" Bao Zheng asked, "Is it still in your mansion?"
"Yes." The Grand Master nodded, "I strengthened my guards later, and I couldn't even fly in a mosquito, so I'd tell you that I'd come and steal it."
Bao Zheng stood up and patted Master Pang's belly, "Go to your house to have a look."
The Taishi was stunned and took two steps back, "Are you going to the Taishi Mansion?"
"Yes." Bao Zheng saw him open his mouth wide and was speechless, "What are you nervous? I won't go to raid your home."
"No..." The Grand Master shook his head, "You actually went to my Grand Master's Mansion!" As he said that, the Grand Master was actually happy and said to Pang Yu, "Go, hurry up and ask your mother to clean up the house and take Heizi to our house and go to our house to break up."
Pang Yu ran away happily.
The little fourth son looked up and asked Gongsun, "Dad is going to Xiaopangpang's house? I'll go too!"
When everyone was told by Xiao Sizi, they inexplicably aroused a sense of curiosity - what does the Grand Master's Mansion look like?
So everyone decided to go to the Taishi Mansion in a group... No, they were going to the Taishi Mansion in a group to check clues.
The Taishi was happy and insisted that everyone stayed at the Taishi Mansion to eat a meal of the delicacies made by his wives before leaving.
When everyone arrived at the gate of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, they saw the butler Pang Fu and dozens of servants lined up at the gate to greet him.
Bao Zheng glanced at the Grand Master again.
The Taishi smiled badly.
Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao, "Will it be a little more high-profile?"
Zhan Zhao squeezed his eyes at him, "Don't worry, the Grand Master is so smart, I guess he has any plans."
When everyone stepped into the Taishi Mansion, they looked around and felt that the three words "big corrupt official" were smashed from the sky and hit the entire yard... This Taishi Mansion was so grand!"
To be continued...
