When Zhao Kuo came out of the palace, King Zhao had no objection to Dong Chengzi coming to check the warriors in the palace, which made these warriors very angry, thinking that they had been insulted, Dong Chengzi led people to check, checked their weapons and equipment one by one, and interrogated them what they did on the day of the assassination of the envoy of Yan State. That night, six samurai decided that they could not bear such an insult and committed suicide.

This made Zhao Kuo very surprised, and hurriedly asked Dong Chengzi to stop their direct investigation.

Then, Zhao Kuo rushed to the courtyard where Pingyang Jun was, sure enough, as King Zhao said, Zhao Bao was very weak, he was lying on the bed, just looking at the top blankly, after Zhao Kuo came, he turned over and ignored Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo wanted to talk to him, but Zhao Bao just didn't say a word, so that Zhao Kuo had no way to continue to talk to him. Zhao Kuo had no choice but to ask Dong Chengzi to investigate the situation after Pingyangjun arrived in Handan.

Sure enough, Dong Chengzi found some clues, and there were patrol soldiers who testified that they had seen a group of samurai enter the mansion, and their attitude was very bad at that time, threatening that they were invited by Pingyang Jun and had a conflict with the soldiers, which made Dong Chengzi very happy, and he began to continue to search for this clue. Later, he received a new piece of information, saying that more than a dozen of the soldiers guarding the palace had taken leave to go out that day.

Dong Chengzi didn't tell anyone what he had in his hands, he found Zhao Bu and quietly chatted about the situation of the palace soldiers, and learned during the conversation that these soldiers who asked for leave that day were from the same place.... Pingyang, and the purpose of their leave is also very clear, hearing that their feudal monarch is sick, they are going to visit their feudal monarch. Dong Chengzi no longer hesitated, and directly took the soldiers into the barracks with Zhao Bu, and wanted to arrest those soldiers.

Those soldiers looked very surprised, and also wanted to incite their colleagues to resist, and Zhao Bu was still here, because of Zhao Bu's order, the other soldiers did not act rashly, Dong Chengzi took those soldiers back, and after bringing them back, he detained the soldiers in different places, and at the same time began to interrogate, at first, their statements were the same, they all said that they were going to visit Pingyang Jun, and then left.

But when Dong Chengzi asked about those detailed things, such as where everyone went after leaving Pingyang Mansion, what Pingyang Jun told them, and answering such sensitive questions, they began to become distracted, and almost everyone said something different. Dong Chengzi was already sure in his heart that these people were absolutely inseparable from the assassination, so he strengthened the means of interrogation.

Dong Chengzi actually had his own thoughts in his heart, but he was just a little Sikou, and he didn't have the ability to go against Pingyang Jun, but when Ma Fujun arrived here, he could do things according to his own ideas, Dong Chengzi couldn't let these soldiers tell the truth, either they were silent, or they wanted to commit suicide, Dong Chengzi had no choice but to come to Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo asked like this, and got the truth from the captured soldiers, it was indeed Pingyang Jun who ordered them to assassinate the envoy of Yan State.

They were hidden among the samurai, and after the assassination, the rest of the samurai took cover and fled directly into the palace.

These soldiers also followed Zhao Kuo's march to fight, and they did not dare to deceive Zhao Kuo, Dong Chengzi recorded the words of these people, and then went to the palace to meet King Zhao.

In the palace, there were only three people, King Zhao, Dong Chengzi, and Zhao Kuo, King Zhao looked very calm, from beginning to end, he just lowered his head quietly, waiting for Dong Chengzi to tell King Zhao everything he knew. King Zhao nodded slightly, and when Dong Chengzi finished saying all the words, King Zhao looked at Zhao Kuo, and he asked, "What do you think, how to deal with this matter?" ”

"I'm not a Sikou, it should be handled by Dong Chengzi." , Zhao Kuo said.

King Zhao nodded, and then looked at Dong Chengzi, Dong Chengzi frowned, and said solemnly: "The law was originally determined, and those who kill people will be sentenced to death. I have sent someone to arrest Pingyangjun, Pingyangjun did not resist, he truthfully admitted his mistake, and he can reduce the capital crime and use the title to offset it. According to the law, he was to be removed from his title, made him a concubine, and sent him imprisoned. ”

"Because his son Zhao Bu didn't know about this matter, he can be exempted from punishment."

"The warriors who worked for him went out without permission, participated in the assassination, infiltrated the royal palace, and were punished for several crimes, and those who killed with crossbows were to be put to death, and the rest were sentenced to ten years of service according to the law." , Dong Chengzi is still very familiar with the laws he has formulated, and when he finished saying all the punishment results, King Zhao nodded and said, "What you said is very right." ”

"But... Pingyangjun is already very old, and he is seriously ill, so he will be demoted to a commoner and let him recuperate in the mansion. King Zhao opened his mouth and said, Dong Chengzi pondered for a moment before he nodded. King Zhao looked at Zhao Kuo and said, "Long Yang Jun of Wei and Jiang Qu of Yan are very eager to meet you... You can go and meet them... Especially Long Yangjun, who is a famous beauty in the world..."

Hearing the word Longyang, Zhao Kuo's face was stunned, how good is Longyang? Is this Longyang Jun of Wei State be... However, Zhao Kuo still nodded and agreed to King Zhao.

After they all left, King Zhao sat quietly again for a long time, he sighed, lowered his head, and said softly, "I'm sorry." ”

The matter was successfully completed, Dong Chengzi was still very happy, he followed Zhao Kuo out of the palace, and was still talking: "If you weren't here, I wouldn't have been able to make Pingyangjun confess... However, I didn't expect that Pingyangjun would confess so easily...", Zhao Kuo shook his head, he still didn't understand, why Pingyangjun went to assassinate Jiangqu, was it just to frame Xinlingjun?

But this is too illogical, even if Xinlingjun kills Jiangqu, King Zhao will not let him confess at all, and even take the initiative to declare war with Yan Guo and force Yan Guo to swallow the bitter fruit, which is useless at all, not to mention, it is himself who killed Chang'anjun, what does this have to do with Xinlingjun? Zhao Kuo was confused, but at this moment, Dong Chengzi had already shifted the topic to Long Yangjun.

According to Dong Chengzi's description, this Long Yangjun is a handsome and indescribably beautiful man.

This made Zhao Kuo also a little curious, and after separating from Dong Chengzi, he drove to visit the two envoys, the first of which was to visit Long Yangjun. The place where Long Yangjun lives is not far from the palace, when the warrior of Wei respectfully took Zhao Kuo into the palace, Long Yangjun hurriedly came to greet him, Zhao Kuo saw this beautiful man, Dong Chengzi did not lie, Zhao Kuo had never seen such a delicate man.

A face that is more delicate than many girls, with a gentle smile, does not look feminine, but a little sunny. Zhao Kuo hurriedly visited him. Long Yangjun looked at Ma Fujun in front of him seriously, he looked very kind, held Zhao Kuo's hand, and pulled him to the inner room, "I have already heard of your good name, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to meet. ”

"I just want to meet you."

Long Yangjun looked very respectful to Zhao Kuo, his eyes were full of fanaticism, and he brought Zhao Kuo into the inner room, Zhao Kuo saw that there was another person sitting here, he hurriedly got up, and also met Zhao Kuo very respectfully, Long Yangjun smiled and said: "This is the general of Yan Kingdom...", Zhao Kuo hurriedly met with him, Long Yangjun insisted that he sit on the top position, Zhao Kuo refused, and Long Yangjun let him sit aside.

"Long Yangjun and Ma Fujun are here, and I'm even more ugly...", Jiang Qu said with a smile, after an inexplicable assassination, he still looks very humorous, he never shies away from the topic of appearance, and he doesn't seem to be inferior at all because of his appearance. Long Yangjun shook his head and said: "Ma Fujun's body has a gentleman's temperament that no one can compare. Sitting next to such people, I also became ugly. ”

"How so?"

"I've heard that by the side of a gentleman, villains will feel ashamed and realize their humility, and I'm probably like that."

"You are the feudal monarch of Wei, you can give good advice to the king of Wei and persuade him to do the right thing, how can such a person be said to be a villain?" , Jiang Qu shook his head, and said helplessly: "On the contrary, I don't have any talent to govern the country, but I was entrusted with a heavy task by the king, and I can't do anything beneficial to the country, just eating the king's money in vain, and a mediocre person like me can be regarded as a villain." ”

Gradually, the three of them began to talk.

Zhao Kuo didn't drink, the other two drank a lot, they were already a little drunk, the more they talked, the happier they became, Long Yang Jun smiled, looked at Zhao Kuo on the side, and said seriously: "I just relied on my beauty to get my current status, not only in Wei State, in other countries, no one looks up to me, they regard me as a plaything, think I am obscene, in Zhao State, there are even people who want to sleep with me... Hahaha, you say, can't a man fall in love with a man? ”

"Can't a man who falls in love with a man do something great?"

Zhao Kuo pondered for a long time before he said: "Anyone can choose the person they love, I don't think there is anything about it. ”

Long Yangjun was silent, took another sip of wine, and said with a staggering smile: "What are you unhappy about?" I have the talent to govern the country... It's because of my looks that I can only hold the position of some small officials, and I have to pay ten times more than others to gain the respect of others... I don't dare to relax for a day, I don't have a day to rest, and in the end, I'm not even a feudal king..."

"Even a hairy boy who has not made an inch of merit can become a feudal monarch and show off his power in front of me, why can't I?"

Zhao Kuo looked at the two people in front of him, sighed, picked up the wine, and took a big sip, he sighed with emotion: "Everyone has their own suffering...", at the end of the banquet, Jiang Qu was helped to leave, but Long Yangjun was completely drunk, he took Zhao Kuo's hand, laughed and cried, Zhao Kuo asked people to send him into the room, left here by himself, and rushed to Dong Chengzi's mansion to rest.

.........

Outside the bustling horse service village, another group of guests came, and these guests were more than twenty people, each on horseback, and these knights, gathered around an official, and when the prison gate came up to stop them, these people immediately dismounted, and their faces were swarthy, and they looked like seasoned soldiers. Zhao Qu Death stopped them and looked at them seriously, but his face was full of smiles.

"What do you command?"

"Alas...", the knight at the head sighed, lowered his head, and said sadly: "Lieutenant Xu Li is seriously ill... This is Ma Fujun's letter, Ma Fujun wants his wife to rush to Handan quickly...", Zhao was also shocked when he died, Xu Li naturally knew it, he immediately picked up the letter, and read it carefully for a moment, this is indeed Ma Fujun's handwriting, he hurriedly led these knights into Mafu Township.

These knights lined up neatly, only the leader followed him into the Mafu Township, but the rest stood solemnly at the door, motionless, and everyone who came and went couldn't help but admire, what an elite. Passers-by asked them, but they did not answer, but stood solemnly in place. When the leader walked into Ma Fujun's courtyard and told his wife the bad news about Xu Li.

Yi almost fainted.

Fortunately, Zhao's mother hurriedly supported her, Zhao's mother was so anxious that she almost cried, how could such a thing happen when Yi was about to give birth? Zhao Kuo is really, why did he tell Yi that something like this happened at this time, Zhao's mother was so anxious, and after Yi woke up, she kept crying, wanting to rush to Handan immediately, Zhao's mother had no choice but to take her daughter-in-law and rush to Handan in person.

Zhao's mother asked Pinggong to help take care of Zheng'er, and she supported Yi to get into the carriage, Ge heard about it, and also hurriedly walked out, he didn't worry about letting others drive, because Yi was pregnant, he personally drove for them, followed those knights, and left here in a hurry. Among Zhao Kuo's disciples, Yang Duanhe offered to shelter them, rode a horse, followed those knights, and left the horse clothes.

Soon after they had departed, another group of guests arrived, just like the knights before them, but not as neat as they were, and looked a little lazy, and the prison door stopped them again.

"Ma Fujun wants Ma Fuzi to rush to Handan and accompany Gongzi Yan to study."

"What?"

The prison door's eyes widened, and he asked, "Is there a letter?" ”

"Naturally, there is."

These people handed over the letter to the prison gate, with exactly the same handwriting and the same orders, but changed the people who rushed to Handan to Ma Fuzi.

The prison door laughed, nodded, and said, "Okay... Please wait here, and I'll bring the horse out. Zhao Qu Death turned around with a smile and walked into the Mafu Township, the knights were waiting, only to hear a shout of killing, and a group of knights rushed out from the horse clothes, these are the disciples of Mafu Jun, they rode fast horses, rushed to these knights, and immediately surrounded them.

More and more people rushed out of their horse suits.

The official at the head widened his eyes and trembled at all this.
