Just when Zhou Bo was at a loss, a voice suddenly appeared behind him, powerful and powerful.

"What I have said will not be reversed, you can rest assured that I will take care of this matter." Liu Bang hurriedly walked up to Zhou Bo and patted him on the shoulder, still holding a kind of steadfastness that the emperor did not panic in the face of major events, handed Zhou Bo a relaxed and reassuring look, and then said to the people outside the city gate.

Seeing that it was the emperor who was coming, Zhou Bo was shocked and said, "Your Majesty ......" hurriedly knelt down on one leg and saluted.

All the soldiers behind him also knelt down with Zhou Bo, and the mountain shouted, "The emperor will be happy for eternity." ”

The people outside the city saw a person with a long face suddenly appear in front of them, saw Zhou Bo in the city kneeling for him, and heard Zhou Bo and all the soldiers calling the emperor Changle Weiyang, they knew that the emperor really came to this door in person, and quickly knelt down and said inside, the mountain shouted, "The emperor Changle Weiyang will last forever." ”

"Get up." Liu Bang walked up to Zhou Bo and personally helped Zhou Bo, turned around and waved his hand, and also called the soldiers behind him and the people outside the city to get up.

"Your Majesty, you said that murderers die, injure people and steal crimes. But now that Lu Ling has killed someone, we all want to know how you deal with this matter, and ask the emperor to give us ordinary people an explanation. It was still the middle-aged man with a white scarf on his head who stood up and spoke to Liu Bang across the palace gate.

Liu Bang continued to take a step forward, looked left and right, then bowed deeply to the people, got up and said, "I did say this, and I didn't say it. I just don't know why I didn't see everyone so excited when there was this kind of thing in previous years, but now the queen's family can't wait to kill them all, is it that all the people have been bought or instigated by someone secretly? ”

"This ......" The middle-aged man seemed to be speechless, looked back at the crowd behind him, and looked for a tall man who was also wearing ordinary Hanfu, this man gave him a look, and then walked out of the crowd and disappeared.

The man wrapped in a white scarf turned his head and continued, "It's that we didn't know how to unite at that time, and we could only endure it if we were wronged, and let the county and them come nonsense, but now we won't endure it like this, and we won't in the future, if we are wronged, we will come here to ask the emperor for justice." At the same time, we will also watch all the people who make mistakes, unfortunately the queen's family happened to have an accident, the emperor can rest assured, we didn't mean to target the queen, it's just a coincidence that Lu Ling committed an accident, then we will definitely not help to appease him, so I implore the emperor to execute him and Jianhou, otherwise we will die and die justice. After speaking, the middle-aged man glanced at the people behind him, they all gave him supportive looks, and then unanimously stared at Liu Bang in the city.

Liu Bang exhaled heavily, helplessly watching them fooling around. What should I do, if Lu Ling and Jianhou are not executed, the people outside the city will be forced to die, forcing Liu Bang to stand in place and clench his hands at a loss, looking at the people who gave him a headache with resentment.

It doesn't work to arrest them in prison with militarized actions, and when the time comes, he will end up infamous as a faint king, but he doesn't want to owe anything to Empress Lu, it's too late for him to compensate her, how could he do something that makes her angry at this juncture. But how to deal with this situation is the best of both worlds? Liu Bang pondered on the spot, he must not only explain the law to the people but also take care of Empress Lu.

Choshin Palace.

Lu Houzheng was having breakfast and Dai Qing were playing chess leisurely, and there was nothing to do anyway.

Just a few steps away, the door of the palace was suddenly pushed open by a small palace maid, followed by a strange man, anxiously and panickedly towards the queen.

Empress Lu and Dai Qing looked at each other, not understanding what it meant, and thinking that they were assassins, Dai Qing hurriedly protected in front of Empress Lu, and Empress Lu hurriedly retreated back and raised his hand to block in front of him. Dai Qing had the courage to shout at the man urgently, "The palace is heavy, and Hugh has to come here." ”

The man knelt down in one step, looked at Empress Lu in a panic, and said with some anxiety and confusion in his words, "Don't be afraid, the queen is a servant of the house, and I came to the palace to report to the mother that something happened to the queen." ”

Hearing that something had happened to Cheng Hou, Lu Hou was shocked and immediately put down the hand that was blocking her, put aside Dai Qing, who was protecting her in front of her, and sat upright and looked at the strange man in front of him, I don't know if what he said is true or false, and asked in a questioning and slightly self-protective tone, "Cheng Hou is at home, why do you say that something happened to him?" If you take this opportunity to commit murder against this palace, you know what the consequences will be. ”

Lu Hou gradually became strong from the original fear, and he was no longer afraid of the man in front of him.

"Come on, ......" was about to call someone, but was interrupted by the man's words in a hurry, and said in one go, "Chenghou was besieged by a wild man at this time and was not allowed to leave the house, and in an emergency, he asked the grass people to come to the palace to report to Niangniang, and asked Niangniang to try to save people." There are also wild people making trouble in front of the West Gate, which seems to be divided into two groups of troublemakers, cutting off the connection between the Hou Ye and the palace. ”

Lu Hou looked at him suspiciously, leaned forward and asked, "Since you said that he was besieged, how did you get out?" ”

At this time, the strange man took out a talisman from his waist to enter and leave the palace and handed it to the queen, and said, "The grass people crawled out of a dog hole in the backyard, and came to find Niangniang with the Hou Ye's personal talisman into the palace, saying that he must ask Niangniang to save him." ”

Lu Hou took the rune in the man's hand, and when she looked carefully at the rune that it was her brother, her heart was shocked, her eyes didn't move, and the hand holding the rune froze in the air for a while, swallowing her saliva dryly, and stood up from the mat with a 'swoop'.

"Haven't you already taken care of this? How can there still be wild people making trouble? Didn't you Hou Ye do what the palace commanded? Lu Hou stepped up to the man and looked at him with serious eyes.

"It's been dealt with, and I'm going to enter the palace to tell Niang Niang, I don't know what's going on, today suddenly a group of people came to the door with guys, saying that it was right to call Hou Ye dead." The man hurriedly added.

Suddenly, the entire hall was filled with a tense atmosphere.

Dai Qing felt that things were not good, and said to Empress Lu, "Niangniang, Hou Ye may be targeted, those people want to bite this matter to the death, first, they want to see how the emperor acts, and secondly, they want to see Niangniang's jokes and your approach to this matter, they have the best of both worlds." ”

"Sure enough, it's the best of both worlds, borrowing the emperor's hand to execute them, first, my Lu family is mourned, and second, I want to kill the sharp spirit of the palace." Empress Lu dragged her floor-length skirt to the front of the hall, stood with her hands on the door frame, and said to herself, "Who wants to harm this palace?" ”

"Mother, what do we do?" Dai Qing asked.

"This palace is not as good as they want, Lu Ling and my brother will not die." A trace of murderous aura flashed in his eyes, and he shook Shui Yun's sleeves heavily, turned around and resolutely ordered, "Dai Qing, pass on the edict of the palace to seal the west gate immediately, this matter cannot be let the emperor know, and the palace will deal with this matter." ”

The man's eyes lit up, and he came to Empress Lu and whispered, "Your Majesty, it seems that you already know about this, when the grass people entered the palace just now, they saw the emperor rushing to the west gate." ”

"Why didn't you say it earlier, you missed the big thing in this palace." Empress Lu suddenly became angry, but she still couldn't guard against it, and she didn't expect that the emperor already knew about it.

"The grass people didn't say it because they didn't think it was important." The man responded in a low voice.

glanced at him and said angrily, "Go down, stay in the palace first, and send you out of the palace after the palace is handled." ”

The man said goodbye and went out.

"Dai Qing, go to the West Gate with the palace." Empress Lu called Dai Qing to hurry to the west gate, for fear that things would change.
