Chapter 100: Drop the package

Bao Zheng and others discussed some details in the Kaifeng Prefecture Court. Before they knew it, it was dusk. The prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture prepared a dinner and entertained the people in Kaifeng. After the meal, the prince had no idea of ​​returning home. It seemed that he planned to stick with Bao Zheng and others in the Kaifeng Prefecture Office.

Bao Zheng had a little bit of admiration for Zhao Zhen's sense of responsibility and hard work. As a prince, he did not specialize himself and could put all his energy into it at critical moments. He surpassed his father Zhao Heng too much.[]

Everyone was concentrated in the court, waiting for the news. Bao Zheng was in a state of difficulty at this time, but he couldn't help but close his eyes and rest. At this moment, he heard someone running in outside. Bao Zheng knew that someone was coming to report the news, so he opened his eyes immediately. Every news was extremely important to Bao Zheng's next layout. This game with the Totianhui was about who could take the lead.

After the person who reported the news rushed in, he was about to bow. Zhao Zhen waved his hand decisively and said, "The situation is urgent at this time, so I will give you a gift!"

The person who reported the message immediately clasped his fists and replied, "Criminal Prince, we intercepted a young eunuch who delivered the message at the intersection of the south gate of the palace and found a secret letter from him."

Zhao Zhen said anxiously: "Come on!"

After Zhao Zhen and the other person who reported the newsman took out a secret letter from their arms and sent it up, they did not take it apart and handed it over to Bao Zheng directly. Zhao Zhen knew that in the entire layout, he was definitely not as smart as Bao Zheng, so he chose to believe in Bao Zheng completely, which is also his personality. It is precisely because of this that he can achieve the great prosperity of Renzong in history.

After Bao Zheng opened the secret letter, he looked at it. After a moment, his face changed and asked the reporter: "Have you ever asked where the letter was sent?"

The reporter replied hurriedly: "We caught the little eunuch and asked him. The eunuch was very timid. After I beat him up, he said that the letter was sent from the mansion of Zhao Wei, the King of Wei."

Bao Zheng slapped the table and said, "Sure enough, I guessed it well. The King of Wei and the palace have always been in touch."

After hearing Bao Zheng's words, Zhao Zhen immediately asked anxiously: "Who is in contact with the King of Wei?"

Bao Zheng's face changed slightly and handed the letter in his hand to Zhao Zhen, and two words popped out of his mouth: "Queen!"

When Zhao Zhen heard Bao Zheng's words, his face was full of disbelief. Then he took a closer look at the secret letter and shouted for a moment: "This is impossible. How could the mother be able to collude with the King of Wei? It must be that the King of Wei deliberately wrote a fake letter to frame the blame."

Bao Zheng frowned. At this time, Zhao Zhen didn't know that Liu E was not his biological mother at all. Now that the clue pointed to Empress Liu, Zhao Zhen naturally couldn't accept it.

Bao Zheng said slowly: "Whether things are true is a try, you will know. The prince does not have to be anxious. The so-called clear person is clear, and the turbid person is turbid. Everything should be spoken with evidence."

Seeing that Bao Zheng was calm and composed, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but feel silent. He wanted to see what Bao Zheng wanted to do next.

Bao Zheng turned around and said to the person who reported the news: "Has that little eunuch brought here? You arrested the little eunuch, no one was discovered!"

The informant replied: "Sir Qi, the little eunuch is at the door at this time. When we started, we were all in a secluded place, and we were transported secretly in ordinary carriages along the way. It was hidden very well and no one would know."

Bao Zheng immediately patted his thigh and said, "Okay, since that's the case, immediately call a master who is good at imitating handwriting. We want to make a bag-to-replacement plan."

Lin Yan stood up and said, "If you want to talk about imitation handwriting, Brother Bao, do you still want to find someone else? Brother Gongsun is a top-notch master who imitates handwriting."

Bao Zheng was surprised after hearing Lin Yan's words. Gongsun Ce stood up and said, "Brother Bao, I have already become a little confident in imitating handwriting and will never miss a big deal. However, I am worried that there will be seals in my faith. If there are only handwriting and no seals, I am afraid of revealing the stuff."

Bao Zheng smiled and said, "Since Brother Gongsun is so talented, it surprised Bao. However, this letter does not even have a signature, so how can there be a seal? The King of Wei must be worried that he would be implicated because of the secret letter. I suspect that the handwriting on this letter is probably not the King of Wei himself. However, the seal just now reminded me that we should gather a group of masters who carve seals."

Gongsun Ce immediately relaxed and said, "Since there is no seal, then Brother Bao, what do you want me to write for you?"

Bao Zheng stood up and asked someone to prepare the four treasures of the study. He immediately wrote a letter and handed the original letter to Gongsun Ce. He then smiled and said, "Brother Gongsun, just write according to the content of my letter."

Gongsun Ce immediately picked up the pen carefully and began to imitate it. Bao Zheng turned to someone to bring the little eunuch in.

The eunuch was taken to the court, but he happened to see the prince Zhao Zhen. His face changed dartingly and said, "Your Highness, please spare me! I was forced to be a sender. All this is not my business!"

Bao Zheng frowned, took up a cup of unfinished tea on the table, walked to the eunuch, handed it to him and said, "You have committed the crime of beheading now. If you want His Royal Highness to spare you from death, you must show some sincerity. This is a cup of poisonous tea. After drinking it, you will not get poisoned within a day. If there is no antidote in a day, you will die of rotten hearts. As long as you drink this poisonous tea and help us do something, I will give you the antidote and will also exempt you from all the crimes you have committed."

The little eunuch saw the tea in Bao Zheng's hand, and his face changed drastically. He immediately said with fear: "I have already eaten the poison of the King of Wei in my body. If I can't send the letter to the palace within an hour, I will die. Sir, please give me poison again, I am afraid that I will die if I haven't waited to finish what the Lord told me."

Bao Zheng didn't expect that the Motianhui had poisoned the eunuch. However, judging from the time setting of King Wei, it was obvious that the antidote was in the hands of Queen Liu.

Bao Zheng immediately said, "Little eunuch, don't worry. My poison will not have anything to do with the severe poison in your body. And I also ask you to continue to deliver the letter, so that you can definitely get the antidote from the queen. After you send the letter, you will come here to get the antidote from the poison tea tomorrow, and you won't have to die."

The eunuch did not expect Bao Zheng to ask him to continue to deliver letters to the queen. After pondering for a while, after thinking about the interests, he took the tea from Bao Zheng tremblingly and drank it into his stomach.

When Bao Zheng saw the eunuch drinking tea, he couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that you are really a versatile person. I have helped us a lot today. In the future, I will definitely let the prince remember you for some merit."

Bao Zheng was a typical example. After slapping a slap, he also had to give a sweet date. The ordinary water in the cup of tea would not be toxic. Bao Zheng knew that it would take a certain amount of time for Gongsun Ce to imitate his handwriting, and took advantage of the gap and began to ask the little eunuch questions constantly. However, the little eunuch was obviously an outsider. He asked many questions but couldn't answer them. He only knew from him that at least dozens of people gathered in the hall of the King of Wei's Mansion.
