Da Song Private Investigator

Autumn is over, and the situation in the capital has changed a lot.

Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu and others were pushed out of the court one after another, while officials like Lu Yijian were reinstated.

After Ouyang Xiu left the capital, Bao Zheng took up the post of Ouyang Xiu's Kaifeng prefect, which was beyond everyone's expectation.

When the imperial court announced the appointment, the entire court was shocked, and then many people talked about it, saying that Bao Zheng was just a small supervisory censor before, how could he suddenly be promoted to so many ranks and become a superintendent? What about the governor of Kaifeng?

All the officials in the court had some opinions on this, but in this matter, the emperor Zhao Zhen still had some courage, he insisted on his decision, and the reason for this was naturally his reason.

All the loyal ministers in the court were sent to other places one after another. If the capital is not controlled by a stern and selfless person like Bao Zheng, what is the order?Although Zhao Zhen couldn't withstand the framing of Ouyang Xiu, Fan Zhongyan and others by many people, he still has the ability to promote talents like Bao Zheng.

The court ministers were very opposed at first, but later seeing the emperor's insistence, and the prestigious Eight Sage Kings affirmed it, these people in the court gradually gave up the idea of ​​objecting.

Moreover, with the passage of time, they also had to give up this idea, because after Bao Zheng became the governor of Kaifeng, he immediately rectified various forces in the capital, and investigated and tried unjust prisons for several days. At any time, you can come to Kaifeng Mansion to deliver the petition.

Suddenly, the name of Bao Zheng's Qingtian spread throughout the capital.

With the support of the people, the officials in the court had nothing to say.

In the blink of an eye, it was early winter, and the capital city was even colder, and it was often overcast with clouds, as if it was going to rain or snow. The pedestrians on the street were all wearing coats, and they looked much bloated.

Since Bao Zheng became governor of Kaifeng, Hwarang also helped Bao Zheng with a few cases, but most of the time, he still stayed at home to rest. After all, when winter came, people became lazy.

That evening, the wind was strong and the clouds were low, and there were few pedestrians on the street. Hwarang, Wen Meng and others were sitting in the living room talking and laughing. Yin Wucuo got up and was about to close the door. He walked to the door, looked out, and saw scattered snowflakes floating in the courtyard. Although the snowflakes were not very big, they also gave this winter a special charm.

"It's snowing!" Yin Wucuo put one hand by the door and couldn't help shouting.

As soon as they heard that it was snowing, everyone ran out to check, only to see that it was really snowing in the sky, and it meant that it was getting bigger and bigger.

This is the first snow this winter, everyone is a little excited, Hwarang sat in the living room, said with a smile: "It's going to snow in the evening, I can have a drink, if I have friends to visit, it would be great."

Hearing what Hwarang said, Wen Meng suddenly smiled and said, "It's not easy to want friends, just go and invite Yibro and the others."

Everyone likes to be lively, so there is nothing wrong with that, so Hua Lang hurriedly sent someone to invite Bao Zheng.

But when the sent person came back after going away for a long time, he was the only one.

Everyone was a little surprised, this Bao Zheng has never rejected Hua Lang's invitation, why didn't he come today, could it be that he looks down on these brothers and friends now that he is the prefect of Kaifeng?

But this thought only passed for a moment, because everyone knew very well that Bao Zheng was not the kind of person who hates the poor and loves the rich. There must be a major reason for his not coming.

After seeing Hwarang, the sent person reported back: "Lord Bao said that the capital is probably facing an unprecedented heavy snow now. In order to avoid accidents among the people in this heavy snow, he must plan ahead and pay for those poor people. Sending you a quilt, I'm really not in the mood to drink."

It turned out that it was for the people of the capital. After hearing this, everyone felt relieved. As the governor of Kaifeng, Bao Zheng was able to think about the people. They should be happy. How could they blame him?

The snow was really heavy. At night, a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the ground, and the branches in the courtyard were also covered with a layer of silver, which looked like a work of art.

It was cold tonight, everyone hurried back to their rooms after having dinner and playing. They didn't expect that the winter in the capital would be so cold.

And the colder ones are those who don't even have a quilt at night.

It snowed heavily all night, and the next day was sunny. Everyone opened the door and looked out, only to see that the whole world was covered by heavy snow, and all they saw was white. It was so beautiful that people couldn't describe it.

But when everyone was admiring Dongxue like this, a yamen servant hurried over and said that Bao Zheng was invited.

Bao Zheng was invited here for a drink last night and he didn't come, so why did he invite them to the government office so early today?Is it to make amends?

On the way to the government office with the yamen servant, the yamen servant said that early this morning, someone found a corpse on the street. The corpse was covered in heavy snow, and it might have been frozen to death or murdered. People reported the matter to the government office. After Bao Zheng heard it, fearing that something might happen, he ordered someone to carry the body back to the government office. Now whether the body was murdered depends on Hua Lang's ability. up.

Upon hearing that a corpse was found, Hwarang and the others were startled, so they quickened their pace.

After arriving at the mansion, Bao Zheng hurriedly greeted him, and as soon as he came up, he said: "Brother Hua, you are finally here, quickly look at the body, whether it was frozen to death or murdered."

Hwarang naturally didn't dare to be negligent, and while walking towards the place where the corpse was stored, he asked, "Have you ever posted a notice asking the family of the deceased to come and identify the corpse?"

Bao Zheng nodded: "It was posted early in the morning, but there is no news so far."

Hwarang frowned, and at this time, they had already come to the corpse. Hwarang fixed his eyes and saw that the deceased was an old man in his 60s, as thin as a stick, but he had been buried in the snow for too long and his body was frozen. It's swollen, so it looks like a very strange visual experience.

Because the impact of the corpse was too great, it was unbearable for a while, Wen Meng said angrily: "How can such an old man walk on the street at night, doesn't he have a home?"

Everyone was also thinking about this issue. It was already dark when it started to snow. Whether the old man froze to death or was murdered, it should be at night.

No one can answer Wen Meng's question, and they can only wait for Hwarang to examine the corpse before making other decisions.

While Hwarang looked at the corpse, but couldn't do anything for a long time, because he really didn't want to know the result.
