After the case of "Prince Goryeo", although Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce turned the danger into a disaster to expose the mastermind behind the scenes, they were not rewarded for some complicated reasons, but were forced to go their separate ways to different places to continue their careers and lives.
Seeing such an ending, many people were depressed about the separation of Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng, in fact, this result is good compared to "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", and in "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", Gongsun Ce's ending did not even save his life.
Floating corpse case
The cause of this incident has to start with a floating corpse, saying that Bao Zheng was ordered to patrol the south all the way to investigate and deal with corrupt officials, and one day passing through Taihu Lake, someone suddenly came to report the case, saying that there was a floating corpse in Taihu Lake that was suspected of being killed.
When Bao Zheng heard the news, he immediately took someone to check, and sure enough, a male corpse was found in the lake, with multiple knife wounds on his body and had been dead for several days. After careful observation, it was found that the body was the crown prince of Goryeo, and if it was not handled well, it could easily affect the peace between the two countries, and the truth must be ascertained as soon as possible to find out the murderer.
Bao Zheng sent Zhanzhao to look around for clues, and he took Gongsun Ce and some soldiers to search along the lake, and soon found a desolate temple, the temple door was closed, and there were bursts of crying inside.
The soldiers broke down the door and saw a man and a woman inside, holding a child and crying. The man was the water thief who did evil in Taihu Lake back then, and he was once caught by Bao Zheng and later pardoned, and it is obvious from the current situation that he has not reformed and is still doing evil in Taihu Lake.
Mingjianglong did not hide his crime and truthfully confessed, it turned out that he was to take revenge on the Seventh Prince, because the other party had killed one of his brothers, so he teamed up with his goddaughter Meng Ruyi to kill the Seventh Prince and the Goryeo Prince.
originally thought that the sunken corpse Taihu Lake was about to escape, but unfortunately he was found and hid in this temple. The soldiers handcuffed up Chaojianglong and Meng Ruyi and prepared to take them back to Kaifeng Mansion for trial, but at this moment, Gongsun Ce suddenly found a bracelet on Meng Ruyi's hand, and was stunned for a moment.
It turned out that Gongsun Ce was originally a down-and-out talent full of wealth, and he failed to get fame many times like a frustrated Maxima. He met Bao Zheng by chance, and he regarded Bao Zheng as an ordinary official, and was convinced by him and willingly followed him after contact.
His wife and daughter were hunted down and killed in a vendetta, and in the end, his wife was killed, and his daughter was rescued by Chaojianglong, and has not been heard from since. Gongsun Ce always thought that his daughter had passed away, but he didn't expect to be reunited here today, happy and sad and didn't know what to do.
Bao Zheng was very sympathetic after hearing this, knowing that Gongsun Ce was a loyal and righteous person and would not do the same evil as Chaojianglong, but he couldn't let Meng Ruyi go, because she was one of the murderers of the "floating corpse case", and her crime was unforgivable.
was sent to the tiger head to ask for beheading
However, Bao Zheng gave Gongsun Ce a chance, which roughly meant that he could first let him talk to Meng Ruyi, and after the father-daughter relationship was narrated, he would take her back to deal with it according to the law.
Sun Ce, who was grateful to Bao Zheng's extrajudicial kindness, hugged Meng Ruyi and cried about his thoughts over the years, and also learned about his daughter's tragic experience over the years. It turned out that Meng Ruyi did not intentionally kill people, but was forced by the mixed river dragon.
After being robbed, she has been living under the coercion of the other party, and she has to do a lot of illegal things in order to survive, and now she just found her father, and she doesn't want to die, but wants to live with her father.
Gongsun Ce's heart was like a knife when he heard this, and he couldn't bear to see his daughter killed, so he made a decision against his conscience, let Meng Ruyi go in private, and then died in his place to atone for his sins.
If you do something wrong, you need to be punished, and Gongsun Ce's ending is also very sad, and he was finally pushed to the tiger head by Bao Zheng and killed. Thinking that back then, Bao Zheng disliked Gongsun Ce for messing around in Kaifeng Mansion, so he wanted to drive him out.
Under such circumstances, in order to test Bao Zheng's character and courage, Gongsun Ce dipped his ink in the pen to measure and draw the style of a dragon, a tiger and a dog, and the sentence "Mr. is a real genius" has forged the friendship between the two for decades.
never thought that many years later, Gongsun Ce would actually die under the tiger head of his own design, which can't help but make people sigh. What do you think differently about this?
