Pang Ji, junior governor of the large mayorial town, near the border of Xixia.
There is a large mine deposits in the jungle. Pang Ji already know that but he never report to Court about this, Xixia and Liao knew these, that's the reason why these hordes keep invading China.
Pang Ji and his trusted lieutanants began to mine the deposits and enriched themselves, put fake tax returns to Imperial Government of Song China.
Emperor Zhenzong and his wife, Empress Li went to visit northern regions to admire the scenary.
Pang Ji came to know about this and plotted to gain better positions and boosted his power.
Pang Ji told his family members of his plan. His wife, son and daughter support his plan .
30 days later, Imperial tourage reached Pang's mayoral town and Pang Ji and his family and town residents already at the point where Imperial tourage stopped in front of them.
Pang family and town residents went on their knees, bowing , shouting " Long Live Your Majesties''.
Emperor Zhenzong and his wife, Empress Li, came out of sedan chairs, accompanied by Eunuch Guo , and 8th Prince went to meet and greet Pang and his residents.
Pang Huiyan , daughter of Pang Ji, looked at Emperor Zhenzong with affection, but glared at Empress Li with venomous look.
Upon learning Empress Li was 2 month pregnant, all town residents congrat Emperor and his wife. Pangs decided to organised dinner banquet and arranged for Imperial family and entourage to stay in southern area of Mayorial town, Northern area - secret mine ( Pang Ji ensure that Emperor must not know of this .)
Miners suffered hardships under close watch of Pang Ji's loyal men.
They digged and digged, transport mine to another point in chains and whipped by Pang Ji's men.
Pang Ji knew that Enunch Guo was corrupt and decide to befriend him..
He gave him gold taels and gifts , so that Emperor don't think of going hunting in the northern jungle.. (if emperor wanted to go jungle to hunt for tigers, deers, etc. he would surely know of mining operations ..)
Pang Ji want miners to be totally ignorant of Emperor's presence in his town.
When Enunch Guo told Pang Ji that Emperor wanted to meet all town's residents to see whether they live well. Pang Ji's then ordered his men to take all miner's family away so that Emperor don't know about existence of mines..
At night, masked men enter the houses and killed the families..

Pang Ji received report that his masked men had accomplished their missions.
He was pleased and arranged tour for Emperor , and his entourages to visit selected group of families.
After few hours, Emperor and his entourages headed back to the garden villa where feasts were held in his honour.
Enunch Guo personally carried foods (which contained drugs) to the Emperor and Empress , thus bypassing the food tasters.
Pang Ji personally see to the preparation of rooms.
Then feast began where Emperor and his entourages get to taste exotic food brought in thru Xi Xia and Liao trade .
Pang Ji used superior gold nugget in trade exchange . That's why Xixia and Liao wanted to raid Song China because they thought Song China got large reserve of such gold. and they wanted the gold for themselves , so that they exchange gold to further Northern nomads, like Siberia, Western region like India ,,
Empress was the one who felt sleepy , the plate and cup meant for her was drugged by substance which was harmful to the baby, as it induced Down Syndrome.
Emperor ate the drugged food too, but he look normal. At the certain time, Enunch Guo remind the Emperor that he need to read notes. Emperor decided to leave the banquet. Pang Ji look at Enunch Guo whose eyes signalled something.
Enunch Guo took Emperor to the room where former lit the candles which gave nice fragnance.
Pang Huiyan was to bring tea to the Emperor.
When she entered the room , Enunch Guo told Imperial Guards to go and rest.
Emperor who ate the drugged food earlier, and the reaction from candle fragnance , cause him to have lustful desire.
When Pang Huiyan went on her knee to greet Emperor, her body fragance cause him to went berserk.
He rushed after Huiyan and hugged her , stripped her..
She did not resist,
She caressed Zhenzong's penis to excite him, she disrobe Emperor and lick his nipple and slowly made him sit and remove his pants.
She slowly went on her knee and suck and lick his penis.
Then she went cowgal .
and then frenched him.
She said she was tired..
but he made her lied on bed ,and fuck her hard she moaned with excitement and scratch his chest.
Next day, he woke up and found naked Huiyan beside him.
He was shocked..
When Huiyan opened her eyes, she quickly covered herself and shed tears, (which was a tear of joy actually), she said" Your Majesty, you...you...''
she rushed out of the room with blanket covering her body.
Emperor then called for meeting with Pang Ji family and Empress , Eight Prince.
Emperor apologies to Pang family for what he done. He wanted to make up by taking her to be his Concubine. and promoted Pang Ji to be Imperial Father in Law and gave him noble titles and his family would be elevated to nobility.
Empress was friendly to Huiyan , promised to take care of her.
But Eight Prince sensed something fishy.
Emperor asked them to come to Kaifeng ...

Pang Ji and his family was accosted into the palace by a few enunchs.
Pang Ji was immerised with pride as he explored the interior of the palace.
He hope that Huiyan gave birth to the boy so that he would be like Lu Bu Wei of Warring States. (Lu Bu Wei , lowly merchant who become the most powerful man in Qin State after the installation of child king who was actually his son.)
But he had deal with hindrance- Empress Li (who was pregnant and her child would be crown prince if a boy. However, the child would be born with mental disability , cannot be real emperor and he need regency. ) and Eight Prince (he was very close with his brother ,the Emperor himself.) (if the crown prince was mentally deficient, then he would be regent.)
Pang Ji don't want Eight Prince to be regent, he wanted to be regent for a few years till his grandson reached maturity ..
Next day, Chief Enunch Chen Lin arrived with his own team, carrying gifts to the place where Pang Ji and his family resided.
Pang Ji arrived at the point with his family.
Chen Lin made annoucement and Pang family knee before him ..
Pang Huiyan be Imperial Concubine (3rd order) and be styled Her Ladyship.
and given a clothing bearing white phoenix. she is to known as Pang Niang niang.
Pang Ji be Grand Tutor and Marquis (2nd class) and be styled Grand Tutor Pang. (Pang Tai Shi) , his headgear would be sliver Kirin. and his official robe would be red coloured with 4 clawed dragons.
(only offspring of House of Zhao can have best of the best, 1st class, gold dragon with 6 or more claws, be a duke (1st class) , Imperial Prince of highest ranks..)
His Eldest son, Pang Yu would be Count (1st class) with green robe, with orange snake design.
His 2nd daughter Pang Fei Yan would be baroness (1st class) with yellowish orange robe with Eagle design.
His wife would be Lady consort , wearing pink robe .
Chen Lin went to Pang Huiyan, holding her hand ,and asked her to stand up, and he and Pang Family went on their knees , greeting her as Her Ladyship.
Pang Ji feel pride as he looked at his daugther.
When Chen Lin left , Pang Ji encouraged Huiyan to think of how to rid of her rival -Empress Li.
Enunch Guo arrived and congrats Pang Ji and then kneel before Huiyan, saying Empress wanted to see her.
At the Inner Palace, Empress Li greet Huiyan , who then kneel before her ,address her as Your Majesty.
Empress Li treated her as little sister, showing her around.
But Huiyan , felt with hatred as she wanted to be sole Empress. therefore must get rid of her. she need to work with Enunch Guo and enticed him well before he become her servant.
Next day, at court session, all official , civil and military greeted Pang Ji and Pang Ji must be wooed them so that they would support him all the way. Thats how powerbase was build up.
Then Eight Prince arrived with his attendent general, Zhan Zhao..
All including Pang Ji knee and greet him as His Highness.
Eight Prince looked at Pang Ji with hostity, don't smile when Pang Ji tried to strike conversation with him.
Then Pang Ji knew that Eight Prince was a threat to his future domination of Song Court.
When enunch announced the arrival of Emperor, all stood in place, Pang Ji was first, Premier was 2nd , .....
Eight Prince stood at the elevated platorm.
When Emperor sat on throne, all official went down on kneel except Eight Prince who no need to kneel , just stand and bowed.
All shouted " Long Live Your Majesty!''
Emperor then said rise.
All rise.
Pang Ji listened to what Emperor say and observed Eight Prince, he was envious and wanted to take his place and stand at elevated platrom and give instruction in front of child emperor. (just like Zhuge Liang , and Sima Zhao and Sima Shi who once stood at the platrom and gave order to officials in front of dull emperor (Liu Shan ) and puppet emperor (Cao Fang and others )
When Emperor finished the session, all went on knees (Eigth Prince just stood and bowed.)
At Eight Prince palace, Zhan Zhao asked his master why he treated Imperial Father in Law with indifference, Eight Prince explained that Pang Ji was sly and scheming and he sensed something amiss about Pang Ji promotion to nobility.
Eight Prince then wrote letter of instruction, stamped with Seal of Highest Imperial Prince , to be pigeoned to Chief General in charge of Northern border , Di Qing (who was his nephew.) requesting secret investigation on Pang Ji and his family.
(sorry all readers, my writing was weird and not accurate with China actual history. As you know about alternate drama about Justice Bao, the young Justice Bao worked in brothel as a cook , selling bao.. LOL!):D:p

Wang Chao, Ma Han, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were given the position of junior soldiers under Zhan Zhao. 4 of them carried out duties and trained hard under Zhan Zhao's guidance.
As for Bao Zheng, he studied hard , and Eighth Prince visited him occassionally to see how he progressed as well as seek his opinions on current affairs. Upon listening to his view on current affairs and Law of Songs, the Eighth Prince was impressed and convinced that this swathy man would be good official and urged him to do well in Imperial Examinations so that he would recommended him to Emperor for Perfertorial post.
As for Gongsun Ke, he was introduced to Grand Tutor Pang by Feiyan.
Grand Tutor impressed by his intelligence and medicial knowledge and hope to use him for future domination of Song Court.
Pang Yu, paid the visit to his former home town and overseas the secret mining operations and saw many people being whipped to work faster. He was indifferent to their cries.
Pang Yu loved to see exotic animals from Northern and Northeast regions.
He saw female panda cats with little kittens sucking tits. and panda kitten lying on the side , realised that it died recently.
He thought hard and knew what to do with dead kitten. He preserved it and took them to Pang Manor in capital city.
He told his father of the plan. His father approved it .
(remember the story- Li Mao Huan Tai Zi?)
Concubine Pang was bored with fruits and wine served occassionally 3 times daily and Emperor was busy with state affairs, and when he is tired, his priority is to visit Empress Li to see her and asked for her well being. He read daily report on her health from Imperial Physicians.
One day, Empress Li invited Concubine Pang to her palace, for a dinner, and Emperor arrived and both of them greeted him, Empress stood and lowered her head, while Concubine Pang had to lower her legs and bowed to Emperor because she was low grade Concubine. (3rd grade only)
Emperor fixated his eyes on Empress Li, asking for well being and both of them held hands and walk side by side to see flowers, fishes, Concubine Pang walked few steps behind them, she was jealous of Empress Li and cannot wait to get rid of her asap.
Next day, she summoned Grand tutor Pang to her palace.
Grand Tutor Pang kneeled and bowed to his daughter .
Then she threw tanturm and her father pacified her.
Concubine Pang: I cannot wait to see her die soon.
Grand Tutor assured that he was working hard to get rid of Empress Li..
and that he wanted to dominate Song Court as soon as possible.
Grand Tutor at his manor, asked Gongsun Ke ''what medicine cause insanity?"
Gongsun Ke bewlidered by his questions, explain accordingly.
Grand Tutor Pang then instructed his servant to buy medicine...
Concubine Pang was bored because she cannot go anywhere she want ,she missed her old days.
She decided to seek thrills by asking one enunch and maiden to come to her bed room
She asked junior enunch to remove his pants as she wanted to see his front hole (enunch got no penis as his penis was removed surgically to prevent raping of females in Inner Palace.)
Maiden was shocked and asked to leave.
She was ordered to stay and watch.
Concubine Pang to junior enunch : wat are you waiting for? do it immediately.."
He lowered his pants unwillngly and slowly.

Junior Enunch felt ashamed as Concubine Pang examined his region and he cried ( he got more Yin than Yang in his body, therefore he behave effeminately.)
Maiden looked as her mistress examined his lower part of his body..
Concubine Pang then used her finger to circle around the region in which his penis was cut off. Enunch close his eyes, as she told him whether he felt aroused that he wished to fuck girls.
He refused to answer as he was not to entertain any evil thought about fucking.
He was pressed repeatedly for his answer as she rubbed the region hard.
He said yes... yes..
Then she turned to Maiden , asking her to remove her top.
Maiden cried and shook her head.
Concubine Pang pressed her on..
Maiden remove her top bearing her breasts. Enunch stared at her breasts. and wish to fuck her but how? he got no penis..
Concubine asked him to caress her breasts.
Maiden stood and cried as her breasts was caressed by enunch.
Cocubine then asked him what was the feeling?
Aroused? He nodded.
Maiden was asked to kneel before him, to lick the region and Concubine Pang spread his legs and also open his clothes to caress his nipples.
Enunch felt aroused and later his juice flow out of the hole.
Concubine asked both of them how they felt.
They were feeling horny...
Concubine gave them bananas .. and see the banana shape , gave her idea.
She would asked someone to make wooden banana.
and asked them to come again..
Then she asked enunch about Enunch Guo Huai life..
then she heard about Guo Huai sad life , and wished to fuck woman and visit his mother grave. and how his uncle sold him to palace to feed his gambling habit..
She decide to help Guo Huai so that he would aid her and Pang family in achieving their goal..

Town yamen constable in charge of registering, observed him, fit and tall, young man. after registering, he left, constable send hand signal to plaincloth agent standing nearby, meaning he should work in secret mine.
While having a drink, three men sat on table next to him, observing him.
when he left the inn, three men waylaid him but he won't fight as not to reveal his fighting capability.
He was taken to jungle, where he saw minings of golds, inhumane treatment of people who was in chains.
He was chained and given equipments and told to begin work. As he surveyed the enviroment, it was not hard for him to escape and report back to Di Qing.
Meal time, he and others were given food not fit for consumption , he can take harsh treatment because he was marital art expert and well trained military officer.
Then , he and others were told to go deeper underground to dig more.
One of them suffered malnutrion as he work many days and he fainted. he was whipped and kicked. Bai Yutang was indiginant but he restrained himself as his mission was top priority.
Meanwhile, at the court, officials were debating about what to do with Liao threat and demands.

Pang Ji set off to Liao State , in a sliver sedan chair with his retinue of soldiers.
2 weeks later, he met the Liao ruler, Yelu Hong..
Yelu Hong demand this and that and Pang Ji attempt to pacify and told him he was the sole owner of the gold mine and he can offer to give them superior gold ,and enlisted his help in dominating Song court. If he succeed in his plan, he would get puppet emperor to rubber stamp approval, and sent tribute to Liao State, thus Liao State would be Overlord of Song China..
but for the time being, Liao State must cease war with Song China.
Yelu Hong , after much thinking, agreed with Pang Ji..
Meanwhile, Bai Yutang managed to free himself of chain with his qigong. He walked slowly and exit out of the mine as security was lax because miners are weak, cannot escape, and nobody knew of mining operation deep in forest. Miners dare not escape because their familes were watched by Pang's men. They were unaware that their families were killed during Emperor's stay and they don't know that their junior governor was now Imperial Father in Law.
Bai Yutang ate wild fruits and small animals in the jungle , before heading back to his own camp and rest before he went to Di Qing and report the mining operations.
Di Qing ,upon learning , was furious that such matters were not report to Song Court and pigeoned to Eighth Prince.
Pang Niang Niang, (Pang Huiyan) summoned Enunch Guo Huai,and asked him to change into soldier uniform and followed her.
Guo Huai was puzzled and he changed into soldiers uniform, and be part of retinue to travel.
Pang Niang Niang told sedan bearers to go to certain place. and soldiers followed sedan..
Upon reaching the place, Concubine Pang discreetly told Guo Huai to follow her..
There , Guo Huai saw his mother grave. He knee down and weeped like a lady, calling mother.. mother..
After a while, Concubine Pang asked Guo Huoi to follow her back to the palace.
Guo Huai thanked Concubine Pang and inquired how she knew..
Concubine Pang smiled wryingly.
and asked her palace madien Hou Zhu to come over..

Pang later, asked Houzhu to spread her legs and then asked Guo to insert wooden banana into her vagina.
and then Pang help to position another end to Guo's region between his legs.
and push him in , which caused Hou Zhu to moan sexily..
Guo began to do in and out..
after sometimes, Houzhu cries over her loss of virginity.
Pang then gave her gold tael and sternly told her to keep mum about that.
Hou zhu then ran off...
Pang : Guo Huai, do you feel great? If I am Empress, I would reward you handsomely. will you be competely at my services?
Guo Huai: yes, yes,Your Ladyship..
At court, enunch came running to info Emperor Zhenzong : Liao had withdrawn forces . He was happy but Eight Prince was uneasy..

thanks for your compliments.
DJ_Adriano, it is not possible for Mediacorps to make period drama due to lack of suitable filmsite , Singapore is the highly urbanised area. Best they can do is go into co-production with China film studios in China, there are many rural areas in China to film. Our artistes will be treated as 2nd class compared to China artistes. You can watch Youtube on China dramas.
" Empress Li became confused with memory, this worried palace maids and enunchs which in turn notifed the Emperor who summoned Imperial Physicians to examine Empress Li. They said Empress Li showing signs of mental illness, associated with pregnancy. Emperor became worried for unborn child , he asked Enunch Guo Huai to take care of her.
Pangs were happy to hear that Empress Li was inflicted with mental illness.
Concubine Pang asked Guo Huai to torment Empress Li further .
Pang Ji then asked unsuspecting Gongsun Ce ''which herb can increase the chance of getting male baby?"
Gongsun Ce list out the herbs , then Pang Ji asked someone to buy herbs for his daughter to drink.
Few days later, Empress Li jumped up and down on bed, like a little girl, screaming.. This worried Imperial Family that it was agreed that Empress Li be tied down to bed.
Eighth Prince think that circumstance is fishy.
Why did Empress Li become crazy for no reason?
Emperor commissioned Grand Tutor Pang and 8th Prince, Premier to be chief examiners for incoming Imperial Examinations.
Eighth Prince informed Bao Zheng and urged him to work hard.
At night, Enunch Guo arrived at Empress Li room, wearing a cat mask, force feed her stonger dose of medicine ..
Pang Ji summoned one Imperial Physician and offer him bribes so that he would lie to Emperor that there is something wrong with foetus inside Empress Li which caused her to become mad and that it is best not to make this child crown prince. Emperor was upset.
Then 1 month later, Emperor heard that Concubine Pang was pregnant.
Emperor was happy and shower attention on Concubine Pang , and promised her if she bore him a son, she would be Empress and her son be crown prince.
8th Prince heard that, he was suspicious and formed conspiracy theory that Empress Li illness had something to do with Pang Ji and his family..

At night , someone in black shoot an arrow thru Grand Tutor's study room. When he entered the room, he saw the arrow pierced on the wall, with paper attached to ths arrow.
He read the message which instructed him to go to ruined temple , next to the Liao border to see someone, he saw the seal chopped on the paper. He knew it was someone from Liao Ruling Family.
Next day , he went to the ruined temple escorted by his trusted men.
He saw three of them, sporting moustache and beards, totally alien to Song China culture.
One of them , indentify himself as Tuoerba, senior socerer, from Liao.
Tuoerba: I am sent by His Highness, the Great King of Liao to assist you.
Grand Tutor : good good. I want you to make Empress of Song give birth faster.
Tuoerba: no problem, she will give birth in 3 days time.
Grand Tutor thanked these evil priests.
(this scenario derived from Justice Bao 1993 , in which Pang Tai Shi used fox spirit to deceive Imperial family.)
He then went to Concubine Pang's palace, and told her everything. She then summoned Guo Huai, to follow their instructions.
At night, Guo Huai in cat mask, went in Empress Li's room, hid dead leopard cat in the corner.
then molested Empress Li, who was tied to the bed, he groping her breasts, before he left.
Tuoerba and his assistants, sat on altar in the ruined temple, started chanting.. and Empress Li felt sweaty.
2 days later, Empress Li was in pain, maids saw her in blood, they understand it was a sign that she was going to give birth.
They quickly went to inform Emperor ..
Emperor was shocked and wondered why so early . Nevertheless, he rushed to the palace wth his couriers.
At the waiting room, Emperor was anxious .
In the Empress room, Enunch Guo and his submissive sex partner, Hou Zhu standing outside the room covered by a curtain.
In fact, Guo Huai had bribed midwife and her family was held hostage by Pang's trusted men.
When midwife come out, with a baby with deformed face. (he was suffering from Down Syndrome), and Guo Huai took a baby and asked midwife to carry dead leopard cat to see Emperor. Guo Huai asked Hou Zhu to carry a baby to river bank to see Grand Tutor.
In the midst of walking Hou Zhu changed her mind as she was gulit stricken..

Grand Tutor Pang was sitting comfortably in sedan chair, with his retinue of soldiers, thinking comfortably that he was on his way to dominate the Song Court. Once his grandson was born and be crowned as crown prince, he should plan his next move- kill the Emperor Zhenzong and 8th Prince.
After a while, Grand Tutor Pang asked his man,'' where is the maid carrying baby?"
His man told him that no sign..
He opened the curtain and get out of sedan chair, looking so anxiously..
Then horse rider arrived , saying he was sent by Eunuch Guo, to inform you that Hou Zhu and baby had disappeared..
He was so perplexed that he gave orders to his soldiers to search the route ..
He return to Concubine Pang's palace, scolding Guo Huai for being so careless.
He worried that Hou Zhu would delivered baby to 8th Prince, therefore he ordered his highly skilled men to keep watch on entrance , back entrance, to kill Hou Zhu on sight.
Emperor was shocked to see the cat instead of human .
He was so furious . and he ordered that Empress Li be downgraded and sent to Cold Palace. Empress Li jumped up and down , like a child, laughing..
Emperor was very sad to see her in such state.
8th Prince was so upset because he knew that someone had set Empress Li up and vowed to make detailed investigation.
Hou Zhu carrying a baby. walking thru dense jungle, she knew that it is dangerous to go to 8th Prince Palace because the path was watched by Eunuch Guo's men..
She decided to seek shelter in country side where her parents formerly lives.
She look at baby saying " your highness, I decide to take care of you. It is difficult for you to go back to palace, looking like that ." she name him, Shao Zi.. and decide to set up stall selling noodles . She would carry him on his back, cooking noodles , serving customers. some customers make remarks on his look. Hou Zhu was upset that her customer said it was his misdeeds in prevous life or her misdeed in previous lift that she got this kid.
She cannot tell the world that he is actually crown prince. because if words get out, they would be hunted down.
Bao Zheng , with four brothers Wang, Ma,Zhao, Zhang , were on the way to Imperial Exam centre, where people was shocked by his appearance.
Nevertheless, he sat for exams.
Few hours later, all exams scripts were sent to 8th Prince, Grand Tutor, and Premier for review and grading.
8th Prince recognise Bao Zheng's hardwriting,and read answers and was impressed with answers. He gave him top marks . (grand tutor and premier let 8th Prince had the ways because 8th Prince rank higher and court officials just deferred to him.)
When examination results announced few days later, four brothers came to Bao Zheng and congrats him.
He was summoned to palace to see Emperor and court officials ,including eighth prince..
Emperor was shocked by his appearance , so do court officials ..Eighth Prince simply drink tea,eat fruits..
Emperor asked him questions and was so impressed by his intelligence and knowledge of Song Law. and decide to make him an 8th grade magistrate in a small town.
At Eight Prince Palace, 8th Prince congrats Bao Zheng and urged him to do well, so that he can report to Emperor and promote him ..
Bao Zheng thanks Eight Prince, and latter summoned four brothers ,making him senior constables to assist former.
Wang Chao, Ma Han , Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, thanks 8th Prince and also thanks their mentor- General Zhan Zhao.

People at this small town, were lining up to welcome this new magistrate.
When he came out of sedan chair, people were shocked to see black face, red official robe,.. One remarked that Bao Zheng looked like Zhong Kui from Tang Dynasty.
Some rich town people offer him money he refused to accept and said firmly he treat all town residents equally , doesn't matter that they came from rich or poor families. If they commit crime, they had to be punish severely.
People were impressed , however, one secret agent from 8th Prince, decide to wait and see.
At court, he interview prisoners and review the cases. He found some cases questionable and decide to hold re-trial before the public. He found the right culprit who is from rich family and sentence him, freed the prisoner and compensate him. People were impressed.
these were reported to 8th Prince, who was impressed and convinced that he was the right person to investigate Pang family, and sighed that first born Prince was yet to be found..
Murder had took place in small town and Bao Zheng handle the case. He worked hard , review eyewitness testimonies, asked for medical reports..
People were impressed because all magistrates settle case very quickly, never asked for coroners, doctors..
Meanwhile, Gongsun Ke, sitting in nice office, cannot go out,keep under watch by Pang's men.
He wanted to go out to see the scenary but was denied by Pang's men.
Pang Fei yan seduced him so that he won't think of going out.
If he knew that his advice cause harm to Empress Li, he would be troubled..

Few months later, Concubine Pang belly got bigger and would give birth in a month's time.
Emperor Zhenzong devoted his time on her , every night, and told maids and enunch to take good care of her. Pang Ji was pleased.
Pang Ji planned to have Zhenzong killed after his daughter give birth, then killed Eighth Prince, so that he would be sole regent. However, he would not get his way, you will read later.
Bao Zheng's method of handling complex cases become well known to other provinces. Eighth Prince was pleased and plan to recommend him for promotions.
King of Gaoli (Korea), sent msg to Emperor Zhenzong that he offered golden eagle so that Song and Gaoli would enjoy good relationship.
When envoy from Gaoli arrived 3 weeks later, he remove the cover and was surprised to see cock instead of golden eagle.
He suddenly kneeled before Emperor Zhenzong, explaining..
Grand Tutor Pang suggested that Prince of Zheng was responsible as the envoy and his retinue must passed thru Zhengnan region which was Prince of Zheng's base and recommended to Emperor that he summoned Prince Zheng back for questioning. He furthermore suggested that Prince of Zheng bore grudge against Song Dynasty for seizing his homeland, and he wanted to rebuild Zhou Dynasty. Eighth Prince dispute this as he knew the current Prince Zheng, he love peace and paid monthly tribute to Song Dynasty on time. He suggested sending Bao Zheng to investigate. Emperor Zhenzong agreed with his brother.
Pang Ji look angry as he planned to create chaos among provincial princes whose forethers was the emperors of 5 Dynasties before Zhao Kuang yin and his brother Zhao Guangyi conquered these states with able strategist named Zhao Pu. (Zhao Kuangyin become first Emperor, Song Taizu, his younger brother , Guangyi become 2nd Emperor Song Taizong, and Zhao Pu become first Prime Minister of Song.)
Bao Zheng was in yamen studying court cases, when Zhang Long came in to report that General Zhan Zhao came .
Bao Zheng received Zhan Zhao in office, and Zhan Zhao came with a message from Eighth Prince, " Bao Zheng was appointed Inspector to investigate missing golden eagle case and he was to set off to Zhengnan immediately."
Zhan Zhao then presented Bao Zheng with a golden token from Eighth Prince.
At palace, eighth Prince stared at the moon, hoping that Bao Zheng can solve this case and get promoted so that he can investigate influential and rich Pang family..

Bao Zheng set off for Zhengnan region immediately . 10 days later, he reached the gate guarded by soldiers with different uniforms , from that of Song.
Why different uniform? Because of a deal with First Emperor of Song, Song Taizu, with the defeated emperor of Later Zhou. Emperor Taizu permitted him to rule automously, but send tribute monthly to Song court to acknowledge Song overlordship over former Later Zhou capital , and they cannot have large army.
Garisson commander in charge of gate, was shocked when Bao Zheng came out of sedan chair. why? because he look like Zhong Kui of former Tang Dynasty.
Bao Zheng held the token in the air, and all soldiers kneel before him, allowing the sedan chair to enter the gate.
Prince Chai welcome Bao Zheng and latter seek former full cooperation in dealing with cases passed to latter by Song Imperial Court.
Prince Chai let him and his assistants search the palace, inquiring young marquis and others.
Then they stay in guest room to rest. But Bao Zheng not resting , he kept thinking how to solve this case.
Young Marquis who harboured his ambitions of restoring Later Zhou Dynasty and killing House of Zhao , he cannot accept the fact that former general from Later Zhou become 1st Emperor of Song .
Next day, Bao Zheng decided to explore the Young Marquis manor to seek his full cooperation.
He look around the surrounding and noticed that there are smell of animals nearby. He saw attendants carrying bags and one carrying pails of meats to the gardens. He followed them and saw mini-zoo, and saw many caged animals which was alien to him ( he never saw these animals before , they were sourced from the border.) Marquis appeared and saw him and greeted him, Bao Zheng greeted him back and discussed missing golden eagle case.
As they walked around, Marquis stopped him from walking to that path.
Bao Zheng became suspicious and decided to listen to him. and both having fruit and tea.
At night, Bao zheng asked Zhang long to enter the place to investigate.
Zhang Long saw the entrance was guarded by two armed soldiers .
He wonder what is going on..
and he report back to Bao Zheng.
Bao Zheng next day seek aducience with Prince Chai and Prince Chai look apprehensive. He sternly told Bao Zheng off for being so busybody and urged him to show respect for his special princedom granted by Song Taizu and he told Bao Zheng to leave in a day time.
Bao Zheng was kept in guest room under close watch by Prince Chai men.
Bao Zheng look at the windows and saw 30 soldiers guarding the entrance. He was at the loss on what to do and four senior constables cannot outfight soldiers and archers ...
Unknown to him, he was monitored by highly skilled martial artist sent by Eight Prince.
He returned swiftly by flying thru tall tree branches, running then leap on the roof.
He was Ouyang Chun, zhan Zhao's pal.
He kneel before Eighth Prince and reported that Bao Zheng was in trouble.
Eighth Prince then summoned Di Qing ..
Di Qing and his 2000 armed men and archers immediately set off for Zheng Nan region, followed by Eighth Prince and his two puglists..

Man rushed to the Prince Chai , saying Song troops had arrived at the city gate.
Prince Chai and his son were shocked and order their troops to go to city gate to prevent Song troops from coming in.
Meanwhile, Zhan Zhao and Ouyang Chun entered the city via flying thru unguarded area. Ouyang Chun led Zhan Zhao to the guest room where Bao Zheng and his men were held. They overpowered the guards and rescued them. Bao Zheng led them to the place where skilled puglists overcome the guards who were guarding the entrance . Upon the entering the place, they saw the large bird cage which contain golden eagle. Zhan Zhao asked Bao Zheng to remain in the place, taking care of golden eagle, while former led Ouyang Chun, and 4 senior constables to overcome the enemy and opened the gate to let Song troops in.
The Chais troops were taken aback when Zhan Zhao and his team fought them . As the Chai troops were distracted by Zhan Zhao and his team, Di Qing ordered his troops to storm the city.
Di Qing had pacified the rebellious city and Bao Zheng come out to greet Eighth Prince with cage of golden eagle.
Bao Zheng was abit startled when he saw Di Qing with a devil mask.
He had been dreaming of this general with devil mask for a long time.
As mentioned previously, Di Qing had dreamt of man with black face and crescent shaped mole on forehead.
(both of them were friends in previous life. Legends had stated that both are delities sent by Tai Shang Lao Jun to ensure that Song Dynasty last longer. Tai Shang Lao Jun probably miscalculated and sent them down too early. Otherwise Song Dynasty would not fall to northern barbarians due to Qin Hui's treachery , right?)
Di Qing removed his devil mask.. Bao Zheng went on his knees to greet Eighth Prince, who was happy to see him well.
Bao Zheng then conducted trial at Prince Chai hall, with Prince Chai and his son kneeling down,with Eight Prince as monitor.
Bao Zheng , asked questions , investigated . And five days later, Prince Chai and his son were beheaded for treason against Song dynasty.
Eighth Prince, never seen this kind of trial held by Bao Zheng, because all judges sentenced people fast in front of royals, without asking for more details.
He was impressed with Bao Zheng and he complimented latter to the Emperor. As the result, Emperor promoted Bao Zheng to three grade higher, from 8th grade to 5th grade . 5th grade officials wear better and majestic looking head-dress and better official robe.

At night, woman in white clothings , mouth covered with blood and her pants soaked in blood , crawling to yaman where Bao Zheng was still working thru numerous cases..
She saw the drum, and struggled to get up, and grabbed hold of the drumstick and struck it three times.
All constables stopped playing dice games with Wang Chao, Ma Han, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, they feel irriated and annoyed that someone wanted to seek grievances under late hours. Few constables opened the door, and were shocked to see a injured woman, 4 senior constables arrived to see whats happening.
Junior ones were given instruction to help injured woman inside..
Bao Zheng looked at her, she opened her eyes and was shocked to see black face staring at her.
She asked whether she had died and she was now in Hades?
4 senior constables looked at each other , bemused.
Bao Zheng: you are now in yaman.. look , you are injured ,I should summon a physician to see you and we will talk when you recovered fully.
She: no...no... I want to seek grivances now.. I cannot wait. Iwant to talk now.I don't know what will happen tomorrrow.
Bao Zheng : in that case, I would hold session right now. Men! prepare the session!
2 constables helping a lady to kneel before the hall where trial was heard.
All constables arrived with long sticks, standing side by side ,chanting "Weeeeiiii..............Wuuuuuu.."
Then Bao Zheng arrived in headgear and official robe, sat down and hammered the table.
Bao Zheng: Lady, you are injured.. you should sit in the chair..
2 constables arrived with chair and help lady sit.
Bao Zheng: What is your name, age and occupation ? and what is your grivance?
Lady: Your Honour, my name is Cui Yi, 26, seamtress. I had been raped..
4 senior constables looked at each other, wanted to hear more.
Bao Zheng: Cui Yi, tell this court more .
Cui Yi :Yes, Your Honour. I was walking home from work, when someone struck me from behind and I fainted. When I came around, I realised I was blindfolded, and I was tied up...
Moments later, I was made to kneel, and he grabbed hold of my chin and forced me to open my mouth..
He forced his penis into my mouth and grabbed my head in and out fast.
Thats something strange about his penis...
Bao Zheng : tell me, what is strange about his penis?
4 senior constables, and junior constables stared intently at her,
Cui Yi: penis is very solid and hard as an iron..
Bao Zheng : Huh? penis hard as an iron?
Cui Yi: he forced to lie down and pulled down my pants..(then she sobbed..)
constables listened , they probably get hard on.
Cui Yi , recompose herself: and ..and force himself on me, he penetrated my vagina .and this penis of his.... not human .. I know because I am married and I knew what penis feel like in mouth and vagina.
I felt so painful because of penetrating strength...
Bao Zheng: wat a beast!
(and deep inside , he felt that it is very complicated cases as he believe the rapist must be very good in qigong , to make his penis strong as iron.)
He arranged for physician to examine a woman.
Physician arrived and proceed to examine her inside the closed room, while Bao Zheng and his 4 lieutants wait outside.
Wang Chao, Ma Han , Zhang Long, Zhao Hu get hardon, they then remember their times at a brothel , fucking prositutes after robbing travellers.
Physician examined the vaginas when she lied down with legs spread.
and also felt the groin area.. He was saddened ... and then told her to rest.
He came out of the room,saying" your honour, her groin was reddened and vaginal bones was broken.. That rapist must be someone with great strength and very strong penis, and fuck woman hard without feeling pain ...It is not possible for normal man to fuck woman hard without feeling pain in penis..
Bao Zheng concluded that rapist must be very strong man with very good qigong. he must be a stunt performer.
He asked 4 senior constables to search whether there is street performance by men with great strength..
(this is erotic tales come from my imagination. I am sure many of you like to read this right? this is sex forum, therefore must have sex in alternate history of China...)

Four senior constables report back to Bao Zheng.
on Sat, Bao Zheng and his constables arrived on spot , waiting for that street performer.
People around him, stared at his dark face. and wonder why his face like that.
Monk, sitting in table, drinking tea and eating vegetarian bun, saw Bao Zheng , he greeted Bao Zheng, saying that "you are fated to do justice for people and ghosts. see that cresent shaped mole on your forehead? actually, it is third eye which able you to see ghosts..
Bao Zheng bemused, thanked him..
Street performers arrived to perform a show. there, strongman appear performing bullcarts pullng stunts. When he finished , 4 senior constables and their men approached him. Immediately, strongman throw bulcart at them. and his teammates engaged in fight with constables. Bao Zheng saw this and sent a constables to seek help from soldiers guarding the city.
Moment, armed soldiers arrived with spear and archery, ( they are ancient days SWAT or People's Armed Police (武警).
Street perfomers stop fighting when soldiers aimed at them with bow and arrows.
They were taken to yaman and kneeled before Bao Zheng in a court.
Bao Zheng: why are you all not cooperating with authorities ?
one street performer: we have no money to pay you..we already pay money to constables from other town.
Bao Zheng (banging table): we wanted to ask you question , not asking money. Here, we don't extort money from people.
another street performer: sure? every official is the same, corrupt and greedy.
Bao Zheng: outrageous! how dare you slander the court!
street performers : yes we encountered court officials asking us for money. we are here earning money to feed ourselves.
Bao Zheng: tell me which town you visited and the name of the court officials asking for money. I would report these to Imperial Court.
Strongman: sure or not? your rank too low to see Emperor..
Wang Chao: what audacity! His Excellency is close to His Highness, 8th Prince . His Majesty promoted him because he admired the way His Excellency deal with criminals."
Strongman looked shocked,
Bao Zheng : we are seeing you because we are dealing with a rape case I suspect someone with extraoridinary strength raped woman . so where are you on wednesday?
strongman: I was with team at home, doing excersise with them.
Other performers agreed with him.
Bao Zheng: have you fuck woman before?
Strongman: No..I have taken a vow of celibacy before Goddess of Mercy.
other performers testified that it is true.
One female performer : he is not lustful creature. He accidentally enter the room when I am changing. He walked away quickly and later apologised to me and then kneel before Godess of Mercy for hours , chanting..
Bao Zheng ,hearing this , let them go .
He start thinking whether there is another street peformer group. or rapist must be kung fu expert..

While Bao Zheng pondering over the rape case, constable arrived at his office to report another victim .
At the court hall, two constables were besides the stretcher where woman laid.
she was bleeding from bottom, vaginal and anal.
Bao Zheng and his four liutenants were horrified to see pretty lady who was terrorised and vowed to seek justice.
Physician examined the woman and said she will be cripple for life as rapist rammed her very hard. and she was not dead, just lost consiciousness.
When she came to, she was in a bed, with physician and constables, then Bao Zheng was notified and came in. She asked whether this is hades, and whether he is Zhong kui . Men roared in laughter.
Bao Zheng: this is Ya Men . I am human , not ghost.
When she found that there were no feelings on her legs, she went hysterial and cried. Bao Zheng and his men were saddened.
Physician asked her to calm down.
Bao Zheng : tell me what is your name, age , occupation and did you see who do this to you?
Lady: you would look down on me if you know my occupation..
Bao Zheng: don't worry. you are human who need to earn living to support yourself, and your family.
Lady: I am Xianger, 22, working in Gui Hua Yuan (which is a brothel).
Bao Zheng and 4 lieutanents and physician look at each other.
xiang er: I guessed I have been raped by man with strong penis , who never cum.
Bao Zheng : tell more in details.
Xiang Er: I was walking to my home at night ,after work. He drugged me from behind, and when I came to , I was blindfolded, and he forced me on kneel, and forced me to blow his penis.
I was wondering why his penis like that .. very hard and solid .I have tasted every penis of clients . his penis is not human like.
then he perform missionary sex, he fucked fucked till I can feel my bone cracked.. then he anal me, it was so painful but he don't cum.
How can he fuck many times without cumming?
Bao Zheng felt sorry for this whore and paid her money . she was sad that she cannot work in a brothel.
Bao Zheng felt loss, decided to go to 8th Prince palace, to seek advice from Zhan Zhao and Ouyang Chun as he believe that rapist possessed very strong kungfu skill.

DJ_adriano, you are half-right.:D :p
Bao Zheng was led to Eighth Prince who was at garden, with male and female attendants , drinking tea and eat fruits.
Bao Zheng went on kneel greeting Eighth Prince.
Eighth Prince : Bao Zheng, what is your purpose of visit?
Bao Zheng: I have official work to discuss with you.. It is not convenient to talk in front of your attendents .
Eighth Prince: all of you, pls dismiss.
All bowed and left.
Bao Zheng: I am handling rape case. Many victims reported that the rapist break their vaginas and one got anus bone broken and latest victim was now a cripple and cannot work.
Eighth Prince: what audacity! have you caught culprit?
Bao Zheng: I suspect rapist got very good qigong and with very strong penis.I am here to seek General Zhan Zhao and Ouyang Chun's help in arresting the culprit.
Eighth Prince in loud voice: Men! summon Gen Zhan and Mr Ouyang.
Moment later , both of them arrive and kneel before Eighth Prince.
Eighth Prince: Magistrate Bao is here to seek your assistance.
Bao Zheng explained in details. Both of them were bewildered because they never heard of rapist with iron penis in martial arts world (Jiang Hu)
Zhan Zhao suggested that trap be laid to arrest tat rapist and he would seek his junior disciple - female puglist named Ai Hu.
Ai Hu, 19 year old teen girl, was near river in a wildness when she heard foot steps ..
She climbed on tree, to see who . She decide to play prank on her senior.
She and Zhan Zhao had hand to hand combat..
Then she said " Brother Zhan, why are you here?"
Zhan Zhao: I seek your help..
Ai Hu: huh? Southern Hero and a skillful general seek my help? what a joke.
Zhan Zhao: it was order from Ba Xian Wang (eighth Prince). you are a female , you can help us. come on!
Ai Hu followed Zhan Zhao, she wonder why Eight Prince need help from a girl when he got 2 kungfu experts and bodyguards..
Ai Hu was shocked to see black faced Bao and then she greet Eighth Prince.
Eighth Prince: Magistrate Bao was handling rape case , he suspect rapist might be kung fu expert. will you help?
Zhan Zhao explain the plan and Ai Hu agreed to help.
Night fall, Ai Hu dressed well, and pretty, having drink. and then walk near trees. she heard footstep..
When footstep was behind her , she suddenly turned and hit him..
he fell. and Ai Hu realised that he cannot fight. Then Zhan Zhao and Ouyang Chun jump down from tree and suspect went on knee when he realised that he encounter 3 puglists and he cannot fight them. He speak like woman.
Zhan Zhao: come with us to Yaman.
At Yaman, the rapist kneel before Bao Zheng.
Zhan Zhao , showed him the evidence - banana shaped object with string atttached.
Bao Zheng: what is this ? Answer me!
suspect bowed and begged for forgiveness, and maintained that he was a junior enunch working in inner palace..
Bao Zheng was shocked, and interogated him.
Junior Enunch: I learnt by peeping at snr enunch doing it with palace maid few month ago.
Bao Zheng: what is name of these two. It is against the law of these couple do that at Inner Palace.
Junior Enunch: Enunch Guo and a palace maid Hou Zhu.
Bao Zheng : Enunch Guo , a palace attendant of Concubine Pang?
Junior Enunch : Yes, Yes,
Bao Zheng: men! put him in jail.
After two men taking him to jail, Bao Zheng look at 3 puglists and decide to go and report to 8th Prince.
Eighth Prince, after hearing this, decide this is time to let Bao Zheng investigate Grand Tutor Pang and his family. he told him about Di Qing investigation on mine which belong to his family. and theorise that Pang Ji had something to do with Empress Li illness ..

At that time, Concubine Pang was 1 mth away before giving birth, Grand tutor Pang instructed Guo Huai to offer Emperor Zhenzong drink laced with slow poison.
The poison made the Emperor feel weaker and slower, but Emperor was smart enough to feel that he was dying and remember his father, Zhao Guang Yi (2nd Emperor , Song Taizong) advice.
Song Taizong told his crown prince , Zhao Heng that if he felt that he was dying, he must make plan for temporary regency and regent must be trustworthy member of Zhao House . If the crown prince is too young, then closest and trustworthy brother be Regent.
He then summoned 8th Prince and Grand tutor Pang, Premier, and few senior ministers.
8th Prince stood and bowed while Grand tutor and other officials went on their knee and towkow.
Zhen zong : I find too tired and ill, I am enstrusting all of you important roles to govern the empire. As my child was inside Concubine pang's body, I hope she give birth to boy and be crown prince. Zhao De fang, you be regent ,and I am assigning my child to your care. (to enunch, fetch me Song Taizu's baton)
Moments later, enunch arrived with baton in both hands, all officials including Eight prince bowed and towkowed . Eighth Prince knee because Imperial baton represented his grand father ,Zhao Kuang Yin- the founder of song dynasty.
Emperor passed baton to Eighth Prince. and all officials including Grand Tutor kneel and kowtowed. Grand Tutor felt jealous..
Emperor looked at Grand Tutor , then said " Pang ji , you are my father in law, and your grandson will be crown prince. Therefore , I am making you Imperial Administrator to assist Regent in his work.
Pang ji knee and kowtowed..
As they were all dismissed, Emperor and Eigth Prince were discussing together as private member of Zhao House.
Pang Ji felt indigiant and went to his daughter's palace and vent frustation in a crying manner in front of his daughter...
Bao Zheng holding court trial, with captured enunch and 2 victims.
2 victims were shocked that rapist was the enunch and he penetrated them with metal banana shaped object .
Bao Zheng then adjourn the trial to another day as he wanted to summon snr enunch Guo, and Hou Zhu. and go to Eighth prince as he need special permission to interview them as they are Inner Palace employees , how to go to Yamen?
Eighth Prince told Bao Zheng that Empress Li had given birth few months ago and it was unbelievable that she gave birth to leopard cat, and Guo and Hou were with Empress Li at the that time and that Hou zhu had gone missing.
Bao Zheng looked at him with shock and promised to find missing prince and Hou Zhu.
Naturally, Eighth Prince readily offer him full support as he wanted to get rid of Pang family. Although he was most powerful prince, he cannot simply send assasins to kill all Pang family members because he was kind hearted and virtuous, he don't even think of taking throne back as he was descendant from founding emperor. He don't believe in rumour that Zhao Guang Yi killed his brother Zhao Kuang Yin for throne. He understood that 1st Empress Dowager advised Zhao Kuang Yin to give throne to Guang Yi as his own son was too young. and that Later Zhou was facing internal conflict because emperor of Later Zhou was only 7 year old.
Eighth Prince then issue instructions to his man to go to Inner Palace to summon Guo Huai to Yamen..

Guo Huai resting in Inner Palace area with palace maids attending to him, when
messenger from 8th Prince arrived, greeting him , then told him that he was required to attend court at Kaifeng Yamen.
Guo Huai look bemused when he heard it.. He asked why must he go to lowly Yamen outside the Palace and as senior official with special duties , he should go to trial officiated by Justice Minister.. but who is in charge of trial?
Messenger : it was Magistrate grade 5, Bao zheng..
Guo Huai: the one well liked by His highness?
Messenger : yes.
Guo Huai: can i choose not to attend?
Messenger: His Highness order you to attend. You cannot disobey .
Guo Huai: in that case, I need to dress up. you wait outside the hall.
Guo Huai instructed his palace maid to quickly go inform Pang Niang Niang .
Then Guo Huai went there in sedan chair.
Bao Zheng remained seated , Guo Huai stood and look at constables around haughtily....

Guo Huai: what do you want from me, Bao Zheng?
Bao Zheng: bring the accused ..
two men bring little enunch and he knee down and greet both men.
Guo huai: wat has he done?
Bao Zheng: he raped two women.
Guo Huai: then you punished him according to Law of Song, why make me come here?
Bao Zheng: Eunuch Guo, is true that you have sex with maiden named Hou Zhu?
Guo Huai was shocked and suspected that Hou Zhu was here to accuse him .
Eunuch Guo: I don't know any Hou Zhu..
LIttle eunuch: but I saw you fucking her with banana shaped object. Thus, I learnt from you.
Eunuch Guo: rubbish! I don't fuck any woman.
Bao Zheng: so where is Hou Zhu? I need to question her.
It was then Eunuch Guo realised HOu Zhu was not here. and he felt relieved and keep denying and accusing young enunch of lying ..
(he was buying time for Concubine Pang to come with her father to deal with Bao Zheng.)
Someone announced outside that Concubine Pang arrived.
Everyone stood up and kneel down...
Bao Zheng : men! offer Her lady ship a seat.
Bao zheng produced evidence (a banana shaped object) , and explained the rape case by little enunch . Concubine was shocked and felt guilty about corrupting her servants sexually, it is against Imperial rule for inner palace workers to have sex..
Concubine Pang then asked BaoZheng to drop cases and let her discipline Guo Huai. and his servants.
Bao Zheng refused to back down, insisting that everyone had to answer for the crime committed against victims who are commoners.
Both Bao Zheng and Concubine Pang had heated exchange . Concubine Pang realised that Bao Zheng don't bow to higher powers,and in his eyes , all are equal in the eyes of law.
Concubine was so worked up, as he refused to back down..
Then she was in pain, Eunuch Guo Huai stood up and attend to her, and told the attendent to take her back to palace.
Guo Huai turned to look at Bao Zheng, warning that he would be beheaded if anything happened to crown prince.
Bao Zheng look fazed..
Conubine Pang was in labour and this excited Pang Ji.
Pang Ji rashed to the palace , and saw Emperor and 8th Prince and greeted them.

Emperor (sick man) was in chair provided by enunchs and 8th Prince standing,(his expression show distrust and hostility towards Grand Tutor Pang as he knew everything about Pang Ji.)
After few hours, Concubine Pang gave birth to a boy whom it was named Zhao Zhen.
Maid carried the baby and let Emperor see , he was happy and decided to declare that Concubine Pang be elevated to Empress. and instructed 8th Prince to see to that.
8th Prince then told maid to take baby away. Grand Tutor Pang did not even carry the baby, as he was a grandfather.
8th Prince reminded Grand Tutor that his child bear royal blood and is a Zhao. and naturally when Emperor is sick, 8th Prince as Regent had final decision on bringing up of Zhao off-spring.
Pang Ji angry with 8th Prince and plot to kill him.
8th Prince held discussion with Imperial Coucil of Princes (it was a group of senior princes which surnamed Zhao, who managed imperial household, and decision on who should be promotion and punished ..)
This imperial councils was started by Zhao Pu, the first Song Prime Minister . this aimed to make Song the strongest Empire of all time by implementing the rule of law, and emperor can be punished by senior princes in front of two ancestors of Song - Zhao Kuang Yin and Zhao Guang Yi..)
(in real history, Imperial Coucils don't exist..sorry about that..)
8th Prince told the Council that Concubine Pang cannot be elevated to Empress as he had evidence that Pang family are criminals. Council respect 8th Prince as he was closest to Emperor and holder of Taizu baton given to him by Emperor. It was agreed that Pang Ji be stripped of titles and 8th Prince be sole guardian of Crown Prince Zhao Zhen.
Floods in Guizhou worsen and 8th Prince sent Pang Ji eldest son to provide relief and at the same time asked Ouyang Chun to secretly spy on Pang Yu..

"thanks ,lewildduck. Your story about time travel to Qing Dynasty is also nice."
Pang Yu, went to Guizhou,see many people looking hungry, decided to exploit the situation.
He set up station and telling his soldiers to round up all families.
He looked at them kneeling. He also asked his soldiers to ransack all shops.
Then he told the families that if they want rice, they must sell their young fit sons and beautiful daughters to him.
He want to increase his manpower by forcing men to be his soldiers.
As for gals, he had them lined up one by one, then told them to strip naked.
Those who disobeyed, would be taken by his soldiers and raped in front of them.
Remaining gals, stripped naked out of fear, and Pang Yu inspected gals, and then forced them one by one to suck his penis..
All these were witnessed by Ouyang Chun who then flew his way,by jumping on trees, rooftops, then enter the Eighth Prince palace windows where he was studying.
He kneeled before Eighth Prince and reported the incidences.
Eighth Prince smiling, saying" I expected Pangs to do evil . What does this show? they are all evil ! come with me tomorrow to see Council of Princes"
Next day, Eighth Prince, together with Di Qing, Ouyang Chun ,Zhan Zhao, and Bao Zheng met up with senior princes , where former ask Ouyang Chun and Di Qing report the findings to senior princes who were the groups of power brokering elders ,watching quietly over young and inexperienced emperor.
Council of Princes then let Eighth Prince took charge of dealing with Pang family.
Eighth Prince,then issue command:
Di Qing and Bao Zheng, raid gold mining site.
Ouyang Chun, arrest Pang Yu.
Zhan Zhao, come with me to arrest Pang Ji and his family.
Few hours later,
Ouyang Chun arrived with Ai Hu, and special type of Imperial Guards, entering Guizhou.
Soldiers there did not put up fight as they were in awe of Imperial Guards -highly skilled commandoes tasked with protecting Imperial family.
They arrest Pang Yu when he was naked, having fun with captive women.
Zhan Zhao ,led his men to storm Pang Manor and arrest Pang Ji and his family, including Gongsun Ce.
Pang Ji shouting at Zhan Zhao like crazy man who lost his power.
Eighth Prince,led his imperial guards to enter Inner Palace, to arrest Guo Huai and Pang niang niang.
He told her that she would never be Empress, and her son would be under his care. He would never told crown prince that her mother was evil woman,and instead told him that his mother was Empress Li who died recently.
Pang Niang NIang weeped when she realised everything was lost.
One day later, Di Qing and Bao Zheng arrived at the temporary camp who was under the charge of Bai Yutang who was tasked with observing the mining site.
Di Qing and Bai Yutang then decided to raid mining site while Bao Zheng remained in temporary camp.
Trusted followers of Pang Ji were startled to see 4 horse riders followed by armoured soldiers.
Di Qing with mask on, and Bai Yutang ,charged at the many followers of Pang Ji who were bravely fighting them with swords,and spears. but many were slaughtered and some taken prisoners.
Miners were freed and Di Qing, Bai Yutang were saddened to see miners poor conditions.
All were taken back to temporary camp where Bao Zheng questioning them.

Next day, Grand Trial, presided by Judge Bao Zheng, and observed by Council of Princes.
Bao Zheng interrogated Pang Ji, and his family , Guo Huai, Gongsun Ce for their roles in conspiracy against the state.
Pangs maintained innocent, but there are a lot of evidences against them,
Gongsun Ce realised that knowledge was used to make Empress Li insane. He maintained strong innocence ,saying he was kept prisoner by Pang Ji and he was not allowed to go out to see the world and therefore was kept in the dark.and that he did not know that Empress Li had died due to drugs prescibed by Pang Ji.
He agreed to turn state witness to provide evidence in which Pang Ji had made Empress Li's insanity and explain how the medicine caused deformities of foetus inside her.
Gongsun Ce wanted his girlfriend , Pang Feiyan to be freed as well because she was a victim of circumstance. She play no part in conspiracy against Emperor and Empress.
Bao Zheng was impressed by his intelligence and eloquence, and kind hearted man .. He looked at Council of Prince and suggested that Gongsun Ce be freed as he was a prisoner who was kept out of outside world.
One Prince said Gongsun Ce can go but Pang Feiyan be executed to death as she dishonestly accept noble title when she knew her father committed treason against the state.
Gongsun Ce, teary eyes, begging Coucil of Princes to let her go as she was a victim of circumstance too.
Council of Princes look at each other and disscuss themselves, then summoned Feiyan and inquired whether she love Gongsun Ce. Feiyan implied yes.
3rd Prince asked her whether she was willing to sever her ties with her family.
She hestiated for a while. then said yes.
She was made to write on paper declaring that she severed her ties and surname be changed.
The paper was sent to Council .
1 hour later, it was decreed that Gongsun Ce and Feiyan be freed and be sent to remote area where they were not to return. Feiyan must not see her nephew who was going to be next emperor.
Bao Zheng then decreed " Pang Ji , Pang Huiyan, Pang Yu, Guo Huai be executed . Date of execution - thursday..
Pang Ji get up and shouted at Bao Zheng and 8th Prince before they were taken away..
Emperor, was saddened , died in grief....
Execution was postponed to next friday..
Court batiffs went all over the city , pasting notice about executions date..
Hou Zhu saw the ads and smiled , as she walked with little boy , then look at the sky.

Gongsun Ce and Feiyan was sent off with escort to remote region. Feiyan was not given opportunity to bid her family farewell.
On the day of execution, Bao Zheng summoned all prisoners who were forced to kill before the public where he announced the crime committed against the state.
Pang Ji, Huiyan, Pang Yu, Guo Huai were publicly shamed.
Hou Zhu appeared with Shao Zi stood directly in front of Guo Huai from afar.
Hou Zhu told Shao Zi (who was actually true Crown Prince but suffered from Down Sydrome due to Pang evil scheme.) to greet him as Uncle Guo Huai.
Shao Zi called out " Guo Huai shu shu"
Guo Huai look up , his eyes look around , following the directions of sound.
There, he caught glimpse of Hou Zhu with little boy with facial deformation.
He was shocked to see Hou Zhu alive with the little crown prince..
Hou zhu smiled at him evily and waved him bye, carried Shao Zi on her back and walked away..
Bao Zheng then shouted 'Execute'
All prisoners were executed on same time. People cheered .
Prince Regent, Zhao De fang (8th Prince) bring young Emperor to visit Imperial Tomb to show respect to his parents.
Emperor Renzong was shown the tomb of his parents - Emperor Zhenzong and Empress Li. Emperor was not told of his real mother and paternal grandparents- and his aunt who was still living with Gongsun Ce at remote region.
As for Bao Zheng, he was promoted to Governor of Kaifang Capital and be given Shang Fang Bao Jian by Prince Regent who trusted him alot as he was righteous man who right the wrong done to commoners..
The End.
