Chapter 2328 2330 [Bao Daren]
Xiang Nan put away the parts, and then greeted him, "Xiao Liu, where are they now?"
"The brothers from Zuojiazhuang said that they just got off the official road and are on their way here." Yan Xiaoliu explained.
Xiang Nan nodded when he heard this.
Tongfu Inn is the largest inn within a hundred miles. Bao Daren has a lot of money and a luxurious life, so it's not surprising to come here to stay.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Xiang Nan said immediately, and then led Xiao Liu out of Qixia Town, and greeted him along the official road.
Going out for more than two miles, I saw a greasy-looking short fat man and a thin and tall man with a sword, sitting in a large carriage, all the way to Qixia Town.
Xiang Nan's eyes suddenly brightened.
These two people were exactly the Bao Daren and Zhan Tang he was looking for.
Xiang Nan immediately went forward and listened to Bao Daren teaching Zhantang, "Oh, Zhantang, you should hire a better car. Look at this broken car, it doesn't even have a hood. My lord I haven't ridden in such a broken car for many years."
"I don't want to buy a big silver, so please be considerate. In such a town, it's not bad to have such a car." Zhantang persuaded.
"Hmph, you are so unfavorable. After I take office, I will definitely demote you three levels in a row." Bao Daren snorted coldly.
"There is a mistake, big brother! You are the Ministry of Rites, and I am the Six Doors. You promoted me, hell!" Zhantang curled his lips and said.
"Ghost?! Where are ghosts?" Master Bao immediately looked around in fright.
"Don't look, the ghost is here." Xiang Nan performed lightness kung fu, and suddenly, he was in front of them, his whereabouts were erratic, and his speed was so fast, he was really like a ghost, which shocked Bao Daren a lot.
Zhantang was a little surprised.
Just as he was about to take action, Xiang Nan poked out two fingers, immobilizing both of them.
Afterwards, Xiang Nan called Yan Xiaoliu into the car, and then ordered the driver to drive the car to the county government office.
…
"Brother Li, why are you arresting them?" Yan Xiaoliu asked puzzled.
"Because they are criminals." Xiang Nan explained.
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and took out the receipt that Mr. Cao publicly gave him when he bought an official when he bought an official, as well as the small gourd hanging around his neck. Then he took out the book "Bao Shilang Xingshi Hengyan" from Zhantang's pocket.
"Bao Shilang Xingshi Hengyan" contains letters between Eunuch Cao and him, and the small gourd is filled with developer powder. Only when it is painted on will the letters show their handwriting.
"Did they make a mistake?" Yan Xiaoliu asked puzzled.
"I can't tell you now. After a few days, when the truth comes out, I'll tell you the whole story." Xiang Nan waved his hand.
When Yan Xiaoliu heard this, she couldn't help but flatten her mouth.
Afterwards, the carriage drove all the way to the county government office.
Xiang Nan moved Bao Daren and Zhantang off the horse, and ordered Xiao Liu to lead someone to watch it first, while he himself went to Houya to look for County Magistrate Lou.
"Uncle, I caught a big fish, look." Xiang Nan reported Bao Daren's correspondence with Eunuch Cao, as well as the receipts that Eunuch Cao disclosed to him.
County magistrate Lou was shocked after reading it.
These evidences are very conclusive, enough to prove the bad behavior of Cao Gonggong selling officials and nobles, and Bao Daren spending money to buy officials.
I really didn't expect that he would be so black-hearted that he would even dare to sell the third-rank official position in the imperial court, which is simply lawless.
"Uncle, I have already caught him, do you want to have a trial?" Xiang Nan asked.
"Judgment, it must be tried." Lou Zhixian nodded, and then asked curiously, "Nephew, how did you know?"
"I see, nephew, you have made a great contribution this time." Lou Zhixian said with satisfaction.
…
Subsequently, Louzhi County was promoted to the church.
Xiang Nan explained the acupoints of Changzhangtang and Bao Daren, and then brought them to the hall.
After Bao Daren came to the hall, he did not kneel down, but looked at Lou Zhixian proudly.
But Zhantang was quite smart, and knelt down.
"Who is in the hall, why don't you kneel when you see this official?" Seeing this, the magistrate Lou slapped the wooden door.
"I kneel to you?! I am the newly appointed servant of the Ministry of Rites, a third-rank official. You want me to kneel to you and dream of you." Bao Daren sneered.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan went up and kicked him in the hollow of his knee, making him kneel down with a thud. Then he pointed again to freeze his lower body, making him unable to stand up even if he wanted to fight.
"You bastard, the proof that you have joined forces with Eunuch Cao of Dongchang to buy and sell officials is in the hands of this county. How dare you call yourself an official of the imperial court in front of this county?" Lou Zhixian took out the letters between Bao Daren and Eunuch Cao, as well as The father-in-law's receipt said.
When Bao Daren saw it, his arrogance immediately dropped by three points.
He didn't expect that his biggest secret would be broken so easily, he just wanted to have a nightmare.
"Say, how did you hook up with Eunuch Cao, how did you participate in buying officials, and tell me honestly." Lou Zhixian said again.
Bao Daren saw that the matter was brought to light, and there was no denying it, so he had no choice but to tell the story.
Lou Zhixian was so **** when he heard it, he was so angry, he patted the gavel and shouted, "Let him draw~"
Subsequently, Bao Daren signed and pledged.
…
"Who are you?" Lou Zhixian then asked Zhantang.
"My lord, please turn away from the left and right, and the villain has something important to report." Zhan Tang said.
Lou Zhixian was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan nodded, "My lord, just listen to what he has to say."
Lou Zhixian then asked all the yamen servants and masters to retire, and only Xiang Nan, Lou Zhixian, and Zhantang were left in the hall.
"To be honest, my lord, I belong to Jinyiwei." Zhantang took out his badge from his arms and said, "Two years ago, I was ordered to go undercover in Dongchang to monitor Eunuch Cao's every move, and finally found out that he sold his official title .
Bao Daren is one of them. Therefore, I took the initiative to apply for protection for him to enter Beijing, and I was going to hand it over to the Commander of Jin Yiwei, who will make a decision. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived here, he was cut off. How do you know bro? "
He looked at Xiang Nan suspiciously, puzzled.
Along the way, he was very careful, trying to keep a low profile and never causing trouble. Unexpectedly, something happened.
"I'm sorry, I'm from Six Doors. We've been watching this case for a long time." Xiang Nan smiled slightly.
Zhantang was shocked when he heard it.
Louzhi County checked the brand and it was confirmed to be true.
But he didn't like Jin Yiwei.
Because Jin Yiwei is arrogant and domineering, he has done all kinds of bad things, likes to fabricate charges, frame Zhongliang, and has killed many people. Moreover, it has been fighting for power and profit with Dongchang for a long time, and it has caused a lot of losses to the court.
"Okay, you step back first." Lou Zhixian then said, "I will report this matter to the higher authorities."
"This..." Zhan Tang naturally refused.
He has been following this case for half a year, and he is planning to use this to bring down Eunuch Cao of Dongchang. Now that Lou Zhi County is taking over, isn't his work wasted? !
