Chapter 423
The palace, in the imperial study.

Mr. Bo Lang reported to the emperor that Zhao Duwei sent someone to assassinate the princess with convincing evidence.The criminal is under escort.

When the emperor heard the words, he immediately ordered Tingwei to arrest Duwei Zhao.

Zhao Duwei heard the news and rode out of the mansion on a fast horse, intending to leave the imperial city to avoid disaster.

Mr. Bo Lang's secret guard immediately sent a message to the imperial city.

"Uncle! Go and intercept Captain Zhao, don't let him escape!"

"Your Majesty, please rest assured! He won't be able to escape! I will resign!"

Bo Langjun ordered the secret guard to send a message to Luan Chong, asking him to arrest Captain Zhao.

Captain Zhao led his men to run out of the imperial city, thinking he had escaped, but unexpectedly, Luan Chong, wearing a black gauze hat and dressed in black, led his dark guards and held swords to block his way.

"Just let me go, just ask what you want!"

Captain Zhao said with a trembling voice.

"I want……"

Luan Chong prolonged his voice on purpose.

"As long as I can do it, I will give it to you!"

Captain Zhao said eagerly as if grabbing a life-saving straw.

"I want your life!"

Luan Chong waved his hand, and the hidden guards charged at Captain Zhao and the others with their swords.

Zhao Duwei led his people to resist stubbornly, and the sound of beating and killing was endless for a while.

Seeing that the hidden guards were fighting hard, Luan Chong went straight to Captain Zhao.

As the saying goes, catch the thief first catch the king.

Zhao Duwei saw Luan Chong thrusting his sword at him, so he held his gun to confront him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Luan Chong's sword tip turned and picked, Zhao Duwei couldn't hold the gun in his hand, and flew out of his hand.

Zhao Duwei saw that the situation was not good, he turned his horse's head and wanted to escape, but Luan sprinted into the stock of the horse and fell off the horse.

The two masters of the rivers and lakes wanted to lend a helping hand, but they were pushed back by Luan Chong's low shout.

"If you dare to step forward again, I will cut off his head!"

Luan Chong's sword lay across Captain Zhao's neck.

At this time, Lu Tingwei rushed over with someone.Seeing that Captain Zhao was captured, those people from the rivers and lakes scattered like birds and beasts.

Luan Chong lifted Captain Zhao up.Lu Tingwei came to ask for someone.

"People can give you! But you must not lose!"

Luan Chong pushed Zhao Duwei to Lu Tingwei, and then he retreated with his hidden guards.

When Mr. Bo Lang heard that he was caught, he was relieved.

Now, as soon as Feng Qi comes back, Captain Zhao can be convicted.

Luo Jiaojiao and her party have arrived at an inn in Nanyang County.

Jiang Yu set up a sumptuous banquet and toasted with Feng Qi.

Qiu Zijun, who loves to drink, doesn't drink too much.Luo Jiaojiao found it very strange.

"Master Qiu! Don't you love drinking the most?"

"Drinking depends on the situation! They must be very drunk tonight! So I have to stay awake to prevent accidents. Otherwise, how can I explain to my apprentice?"

Qiu Zijun took a piece of okra and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Well! I don't drink anymore!"

Luo Jiaojiao felt that what Qiu Zijun said made sense, so she also put down the wine glass in her hand.

The greatest sorrow in life is parting from life and death.

Jiang Yu and Feng Qi, a pair of good friends, drank to their heart's content when they were about to say goodbye.

"Life is life, grass and trees are autumn. Take care of each other, don't ask why. Mountains and rivers turn..."

Feng Qi drunkenly knocked on the dishes and sang loudly.

"Drink! We will still be friends in the next life!"

Jiang Yu was also drunk.His face was as red as a persimmon, and the wine glass in his hand was unsteady.

Luo Jiaojiao secretly went to the door and asked the waiter to cook some hangover soup.

Because of the lessons learned from the past, Luo Jiaojiao also followed to the back kitchen to watch the cooks make hangover soup.

Cyclops and the others had already received the news that Captain Zhao had been arrested, so they broke up and each made a living in another way.

Luo Jiaojiao came back with two bowls of hangover soup.

Both Jiang Yu and Feng Qi drank hangover soup under Luo Jiaojiao's coercion.

Qiu Zijun and his fellows helped Jiang Yu and Feng Qi into the guest room.

Two days later, Luo Jiaojiao and her party returned to the imperial city.

Feng Qi was taken away by Lu Tingwei's men at the gate of the city.

After a joint judicial trial, Zhao Duwei, Feng Qi and others were sentenced to beheaded for murdering the princess.There are not a few days left in the calculation.

Ever since Jiang Yu returned to the Bo Mansion in the imperial city, she has been depressed.

Li Zheng and the chief guard brought the remaining guards of Bo Mansion to escort five carts of treasures and coins to the imperial city.

They were stopped by the officers and soldiers at the city gate.Jiang Yu, who had been waiting for a long time, showed the badge of the Shaofu, and only then did the carriages with belongings come in safely.

Mr. Bo Lang asked Jiang Yu to collect the account books of these properties, and then ordered them to drive into the imperial city with him, and put them into the treasury of the Shaofu.

After the emperor learned about it, he wanted to host a banquet in the palace in honor of Mr. Bo Lang.

Mr. Bo Lang said that these were his duties, so he didn't stay in the palace for lunch.

Zhao Duwei's natal family rushed to rescue him, trying to save him from punishment.

The emperor issued a death order, no matter who pleaded, it would be useless.

Although Mr. Bo Lang didn't use the early court, he heard that

The prime minister, Zhou Bo, insisted on his meritorious service, and was often arrogant and rude in the hall.

So, he went to the imperial study to see the emperor.

The emperor expressed his helplessness about this matter.He felt that without Zhou Bo and others, he would not have the supremacy today.

"The emperor is the emperor, and the minister is the minister. How can the emperor and the minister be indiscriminate and disregard the etiquette? A king should naturally have majesty in order to convince the courtiers."

The emperor felt that Bo Langjun's words were reasonable, adopted his opinion, and showed majesty in the court, no longer blindly being humble.

After the renovation of Mr. Bo Lang's mansion was completed, Qi Wang Liu Xiang and Zhou Xinqi were invited to the mansion as guests.

During the banquet, Mr. Bo Lang invited an opera troupe to his residence to sing.

Zhou Xinqi's heart skipped a beat when she watched a drama that was so successful.No matter how she looks, she looks like a replica of her father.

King Qi Liu Xiang saw that Zhou Xinqi was pale, so he asked her if she was not feeling well.

Zhou Xinqi didn't want to go to the theater anymore, so she saluted Mr. Bo Lang and said goodbye.Mr. Bo Lang didn't try to keep him either.Qi Wang Liu Xiang also went with him.

Luo Jiaojiao went out for a while, and when she came back, she found that Zhou Xinqi and Qi Wang Liu Xiang were gone.

"They are..."

"gone!"

Bo Langjun picked up the wine glass and looked at the fine liquid in it, then drank it all in one gulp.

"Is there any conflict between you?"

Luo Jiaojiao asked puzzledly.

"Never! Come on, don't ask! Sit down and watch the play!"

Bo Langjun took Luo Jiaojiao to sit beside him and continued watching the play.

Luo Jiaojiao looked at the place where Zhou Xinqi had been sitting.

After Zhou Xinqi was sent home by King Qi Liu Xiang, she went directly to her father's study.

"What? Are you uncomfortable?"

Prime Minister Zhou Bo also noticed something wrong with his daughter's expression.

"Father! Today I watched a play. In the play, a military officer insisted on his merits and ignored the emperor. In the end, he ended up killing the nine clans!"

Zhou Xinqi's words made Zhou Bo startled.He recalled what he had done in the court recently, and he couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.

On the second day at court, Zhou Bo claimed that he was ill and did not go to court.

Three days later, Zhou Bo took the initiative to resign from the post of prime minister.

The emperor didn't ask to stay, so he agreed directly.

This incident shocked the ruling and opposition parties a lot.Everyone was discussing in private, each of them restrained their words and deeds, and acted more cautiously.
