Bao Zheng's carriage was walking slowly on the road to Bianjing City, with a group of imperial guards, which made the people avoid it.

Bao Zheng's carriage had been walking for half an hour without realizing it, and a noise came from the front. Fang Lingmei's expression tightened, thinking that someone was coming to make trouble, so she immediately held the sword in her hand and wanted to go out to take a look. When the curtain of the carriage was lifted, Bao Zheng caught a glimpse of a team of officials and horses in front of him, and happened to meet Bao Zheng's imperial army. The road surface was narrow at this time, but it was difficult to avoid it.[]

The leader of the imperial guard who was guarding Bao Zheng said to the sedan chair: "People in front, please step back so that our carriage and horses can go first."

However, a leader who looked like a guard came out of the sedan chair. He said angrily: "What are you? How dare you let the dignified Eighth Prince give way to you?"

Bao Zheng's imperial guards were exclaiming when they heard the name of the Eighth Prince. The leader of the imperial guards immediately replied: "It turns out that they are the Eighth Prince who is respected by all the people. If Bei Zhi knew that the Eighth Prince was in the sedan chair, he would have given up early. Since that's the case, let's give up now!"

The leader of the Imperial Guard was about to command the troops to retreat. At this time, a gentle and elegant horoscope came out of the sedan chair. Bao Zheng saw that he looked like a jade-like face, with a dignified appearance, and a very friendly smile appeared on his face. The Eighth Prince smiled and said, "There are many brothers in the Imperial Guard, so how can we make way for less people but let more people give way? Brothers in the Imperial Guard, there is no need to retreat. We only have a dozen people, and we are close to that spacious place, so we will retreat."

After the Eighth Prince finished speaking, he went back to the sedan chair. After hearing the Eighth Prince's orders, the guard leader stopped talking. He immediately carried the two sedan chairs and started to retreat, but when he arrived at the spacious place, he was allowed to the side of the road.

Bao Zheng's men immediately walked past the Eighth Prince's sedan chair, and the imperial guards guarding Bao Zheng praised the Eighth Prince's kindness. Bao Zheng couldn't help but look at the followers around the Eighth Prince, but saw that their eyes were shining and burst into a burst of strong auras. It seemed that the dozen people around the Eighth Prince were not simple!

Bao Zheng drove all the way past, but arrived in front of another sedan chair of the Eighth Prince. A breeze blew by, and the curtains of the sedan chair were waving. Bao Zheng glanced at him and saw someone who surprised Bao Zheng secretly.

After Bao Zheng's team completely gave way to the Eighth Prince's people, Bao Zheng's carriage continued to go to Kaifeng Mansion. Seeing Bao Zheng's expression strange, Fang Lingmei immediately asked, "Bao Zheng, did you know what happened if you met the Eighth Prince just now? When the curtains in the sedan chair behind me were whirling, I didn't see clearly who was inside."

Bao Zheng smiled at this time, "Even if the fairy saw the people inside, she would definitely not know her. She is someone I have met in Shunchang Mansion. I have a deep hatred with her now, but I didn't expect that she is with the Eighth Prince now. Could it be that she has anything to do with the Eighth Prince?"

Bao Zheng asked him a question. Fang Lingmei heard Bao Zheng's words and knew that the people in the sedan were not aware of it. Since he was not familiar with him, Fang Lingmei would not ask more questions.

Bao Zheng murmured at this time: "I didn't expect that the legendary Eighth Prince is so easy-going, gentle and elegant, and has a completely gentlemanly style. It seems that he should have a good contact with the Eighth Prince in the future."

Fang Lingmei said lightly at this time: "Bao Zheng! If you want to get the emperor's value, it is best to stay away from the Eighth Prince. Although the Eighth Prince is gentle and elegant by nature, it is precisely because of this that he has a high prestige in the court. In many cases, the ministers of the court are even more inclined to follow the heads of the Eighth Prince. When the emperor is healthy in the dragon body, these are obviously not harmful, so the Eighth Prince has always been valued by the emperor. However, now the emperor is not at ease in the dragon body, and the ministers in the court are getting closer and closer to the Eighth Prince. Now that the emperor sees this situation, how can he not be wary of the Eighth Prince?"

After hearing Fang Lingmei's analysis, Bao Zheng couldn't help but nodded. Perhaps this is what is called: a man is innocent and a treasure is guilty. The Eighth Prince's sin may be that he is too wise. Bao Zheng knew that there are many people in the world who can endure it for a long time. Whether the Eighth Prince is false benevolence or true wise, can only know if he has met him in the future.

The carriage stopped at this time, and the leader of the imperial guards who took the lead immediately said to Bao Zheng: "Sir! The Kaifeng Prefecture Office has arrived."

Bao Zheng and Fang Lingmei got off the carriage. Bao Zheng looked up and saw a huge horoscope opening door, two majestic stone lions at the door. On the lintel were a few shining three-tongued gold characters "Kaifeng Mansion".

Bao Zheng took Fang Lingmei directly to Kaifeng Mansion, but was stopped by a yamen runner at the door. The yamen runner said, "This is the Kaifeng Mansion's yamen, and idle people are not allowed to break in."

Bao Zheng looked at the yamen runner's face and was a little surprised. The yamen runner clearly saw that he was swarmed by the imperial guards, but he actually dared to stop him. It seems that the Kaifeng government office is really not comparable to ordinary local governments. Even the yamen runners guarding the door have seen people on the market.

Bao Zheng said seriously: "I am the latest magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture appointed by the Emperor! Can't I go in yet?"

As Bao Zheng said that, he took out the two volumes of imperial edicts from his sleeve. When the yamen runner saw Bao Zheng's imperial edict, he immediately said respectfully: "Since he is a new official, please follow me!"

Bao Zheng was led by the yamen runner and headed into the yamen. After Bao Zheng stepped into the yamen, he saw a solemn and grand public trial lobby. In the middle of the lobby, there was a long black wooden table with a gavel and a sign, as well as the four treasures of the study. The yamen runner rushed into the inner hall at this time, obviously going to notify the officials inside.

On the long table, there was a huge gold plaque with a few big words written on it, which was "a mirror hanging high". Bao Zheng looked around, but saw various torture instruments for interrogation, which made the lobby look even more depressing. At this moment, an old man in an official robe walked out from behind the lobby.

Bao Zheng looked at the trembling old man, but was a little surprised. Could this old man who was in his seventies be the leader of Kaifeng Prefecture?

Sure enough, the old man said at this time: "Is it the new Kaifeng magistrate? I am Wenrui, the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture. We will be colleagues in the future!"

Bao Zheng replied respectfully at this time: "My younger generation is named Bao Zheng. My colleagues dare not be accused of it, they only dare to call themselves students."

Wen Rui laughed at this time, "Bao Zheng! I was so dizzy that I had long been unable to take the appointment, but I didn't know why I was transferred to the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture for no reason. I had worked in the Kaifeng Prefecture Office for several years without realizing it. Now it's time for someone to take over as my old bone."
