The great hero, for the country and the people!
Bao Zheng is a famous Qing official in Chinese history, who was honest and selfless in his life, selfless with an iron face, upholding justice, and seeking injustice for the people, and was known as "Bao Qingtian" by the world. One fence three piles, one good man three gangs.
Bao Zheng can do great things, and his strength alone is far from enough, he needs friends.
Bao Zheng had two friends around him, one in one article and one in wu, and the text was Gongsun Ce, known as "Little Zhuge Ge", who advised Bao Zheng and decided the case; The wu was Zhan Zhao, known as the "Royal Cat", to help Bao Zheng arrest the real murderer and uphold justice.
The relationship between Bao Zheng and Zhan Zhao is the same as that of Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang, they are all friends and complement each other.
Bao Zheng did not admire the powerful, the iron face was selfless, and offended many people, and these people must be waiting for an opportunity to take revenge and assassinate Bao Zheng. If Bao Zheng didn't have a master around him to protect him, Bao Zheng would have died many times.
Zhan Zhao, the character Xiong Fei, xingxia and righteousness, ancient road hot sausage, has a high prestige in the rivers and lakes, and is revered as "Nanxia". Zhan Zhao is a jianghu chivalrous guest, Bao Zheng is an important courtier of the imperial court, one is in the jianghu, one is in the temple, how did the two come together?
On the way to Beijing to catch the exam, Bao Zheng encountered danger, and was saved by Zhan Zhao, and the two have known each other ever since. Later, when Bao Zheng was admitted as a jinshi and served in Kaifeng Province, he wanted to recruit Zhan Zhao.
Zhan Zhao is a chivalrous guest, wandering in the rivers and lakes, likes to be unrestrained, if he is allowed to become an official in the imperial court, he will definitely not adapt. However, Zhan Zhao was a man who understood great righteousness, he knew that Bao Zheng was a good official, and he was willing to assist Bao Zheng in benefiting the people.
When the people in the jianghu heard that Zhan Zhao was going to serve the imperial court, everyone was also surprised, thinking that Zhan Zhao had changed and become a person who coveted fame and fortune, in fact, only Zhan Zhao himself knew that he did this to better benefit the people.
After Zhan Zhao came to Bao Zheng's side, Bao Zheng recommended him to Song Renzong. After Song Renzong knew the story of Zhan Zhao, he also admired Zhan Zhao, so he named Zhan Zhao as a sword guard of the four products of the Imperial Family, and was named "Royal Cat", serving in Kaifeng Province, assisting Bao Zheng in handling the case together.
In this way, Bao Zheng, Zhan Zhao, and Gongsun Ce formed an iron triangle to handle cases together, punish evil and promote good, and were admired by the world. After Bao Zheng's death, he left a secret letter to Zhan Zhao, who disappeared overnight after reading it, and there was no royal cat in the world since.
Zhan Zhao only entered the temple for Bao Zheng, and if Bao Zheng left, he would also leave and return to the jianghu. So what exactly was written in Bao Zheng's letter to Zhan Zhao?
Bao Zheng told Zhan Zhao that the imperial court was sinister, and Zhan Zhao had offended many people by following him, and after Bao Zheng's death, they would seek revenge on Zhan Zhao, so let Zhan Zhao leave quickly and not be hurt.
Zhan Zhao obeyed Bao Zheng's orders and disappeared overnight, although Zhan Zhao was not in the jianghu, but there was always a legend of Zhan Zhao on the jianghu!
