Chapter 108: Make a plan and then move

Bao Zheng and Cui Wei stood in front of Kou Zhun's body, speechless for a long time. The fierce battle in the square slowly subsided. After everything was settled, Hu Yanqing and Fang Qing finally found Bao Zheng and Cui Wei who were observing silently on the shore.

The six people walked over and saw Kou Zhun lying on the ground with his eyes closed peacefully. Bao Zheng turned around and said to Hu Yanqing: "Zhan Zhao, you can follow me for the time being in the future. I don't think it will take long to see the results you want. Remember your identity today! Don't make any troubles."

Outsiders must not understand Bao Zheng’s words, but Hu Yanqing was open-minded. Hu Yanqing immediately replied: “The brothers Zhan Zhaohe understand in their hearts. They will definitely not cause trouble for Brother Bao.”

At this time, a group of large inner guards had surrounded him. They were panicked when they saw Kou Zhun was dead.

Bao Zheng said with sad expression: "Mr. Kou is dead, so Bao must have reported to the superiors that you will not punish your guards for dereliction of duty. Today, the Totianhui will send so many masters to besiege Cui Weiju, which is unexpected."

A leader of a large inner guard said respectfully: "Mr. Kou's death is a pity for the court. We guards know that they have neglected their duties, and even if the emperor blames them, they should be punished. However, today we have arrested more than 20 members of the Ming Tianhui Association and are waiting for Lord Bao to make a decision."

Bao Zheng was sad because of Kou Zhun's death and did not want to pay attention to the madmen. He waved his hand and said, "Take all those desperate people to the prison of Kaifeng Prefecture. You send a few people to send Lord Kou back to the mansion, and send someone to hurry to Kou Mansion to report the funeral at the Prince of Kaifeng Prefecture."

After Bao Zheng gave the order, the group of people came from Bao Zheng, and the guards carried Kou Zhun's body behind and headed to Kou Mansion. Cui Wei changed into dry clothes and followed Fang Qing and Hu Yanqing and the other two arrested members of the Motianhui were taken to the Kaifeng Mansion.

When Bao Zheng and others transported Kou Zhun's body to the gate of Kou Mansion, there was already a white pavilion hanging there, and the crying was shocking. When the people in the yard saw Bao Zheng and others carrying Kou Zhun, they all came out. Bao Zheng saw a woman in her fifties crying so hard that she was almost dizzy.

When Bao Zheng saw the woman, he guessed that he was probably the first wife of Kou Zhun, recorded in history books. Kou Zhun had as many wives and concubines as many as seven or eight concubines in his life. At this time, he knelt in front of the door wearing mourning clothes and cried bitterly. Most of them had false intentions, but the only Song family was heartbroken by Kou Zhun's death. Kou Zhun had no children in this life, and his only adopted son Kou Sui, now he is going to pursue Liu Jiwu. A person who devoted himself to the country, ended up having no children when he was old, which really made people even more sad.

The people in Kou's mansion cried and welcomed Kou Zhun's body into the auditorium. Bao Zheng, Cuiwei and others waited until the mourning hall was erected, and then they told Kou Zhun's cause of death in front of Kou Zhun's family. After Song and others' emotions eased a little, Bao Zheng and others retreated from the mourning hall.

Although Kou Zhun died, the butlers of the Kou Mansion were all very sober. They began to send people to post funerals according to the rules. Kou Zhun's funeral was carried out in an orderly manner under the arrangement of the Kou Mansion's butler. At this moment, the prince Zhao Zhen rushed in. When he saw Bao Zheng, he immediately said, "What about Master Kou? He went to Cuiweiju for a long time. Bao Zheng, you actually asked me to tell me, sir, he died?" Kou Zhun was the teacher of the prince Zhao Zhen, and his relationship with the prince was extraordinary. At this time, when he heard the bad news about his master, Zhao Zhen was inevitably in chaos.

Seeing that the prince was a little anxious, Bao Zheng immediately replied: "Criminal Prince, the incident happened suddenly, and I did not expect it. The prince was calm first. Although Lord Kou has gone, the Mingtianhui who killed Lord Kou is still at large. We must not lose our own way! Don't forget that there are 30,000 secret envoys in the capital, and they are still eyeing it! When we are in chaos, they will take advantage of the chaos to harass Bianjing."

When Prince Zhao Zhen heard Bao Zheng's words, he was even more panicked. In the past, Kou Zhun was always there to make suggestions when encountering things. Now that Kou Zhun is dead, he seems to have lost his right-hand man.

Bao Zheng said calmly: "Your Highness, the prince is now in panic. Lord Kou is in heaven and hopes that the prince can be a responsible person and shoulder the next important task."

After hearing Bao Zheng's words, Zhao Zhen seemed to have grabbed the straw that saved his life, and immediately pulled Bao Zheng and said, "That's right! Mr. said several times before, Bao Zheng, you are so amazing. Now that Mr. is gone, Bao Zheng, you have to give advice for me. What should we do next?"

After all, Zhao Zhen is just a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy. He has been pampered since childhood. Even though he was taught by Kou Zhun and received a lot of training, his mind is still much worse. Faced with this situation, he needs someone who can calm his mind.

Bao Zheng bowed and said, "Your Highness, you should go to Lord Kou's mourning hall to pay your respects first. Then we will go back to Kaifeng Prefecture to make a decision!"

Although Zhao Zhen was the crown prince, he was Kou Zhun's student after all. Since Zhao Zhen came, he naturally had to go to pay his respects. After hearing Bao Zheng's words, Zhao Zhen immediately entered the mourning hall, bowed to pay his respects, and comforted Kou Zhun's family. The people in Kou's mansion were naturally grateful to see the prince coming to pay his respects in person, and for a moment, they were even more sad in the mourning hall. When Zhao Zhen walked out of the mourning hall, he was already full of tears.

Bao Zheng had already asked someone to prepare sedan chairs, chariots and horses, and was about to go back to Kaifeng Mansion first. Although Kou Zhun was dead and Bao Zheng shouldn't have left so soon, the matter of the Tianhui was urgent and there was a tense situation. Bao Zheng saw that many officials had come to mourn Kou Zhun, so he and Prince Zhao Zhen left Kou Mansion together.

Soon Bao Zheng and Zhao Zhen had arrived at the Kaifeng Prefecture yamen. Hu Yanqing and others hid secretly. Now there are so many large guards in Kaifeng Prefecture, even if they have any ideas in their hearts, they dare not act recklessly. Bao Zheng felt a headache when he looked at the five of them. On the one hand, they could not let them assassinate Zhao Zhen, and on the other hand, they could not let Zhao Zhen see them. When Hu Yanqing assassinated Zhao Zhen in Luzhou Prefecture, Zhao Zhen would naturally recognize him as soon as he saw them. If he was discovered, even if Bao Zheng pleaded for them, he would not be able to escape the disaster.

Fortunately, Cuiwei and Fang Qing followed Bao Zheng to Kaifeng Prefecture. Cuiwei was the sister of the crown prince Zhao Zhen. Although Zhao Zhen didn't know, Cuiwei himself knew very well. Hu Yanqing and others would not succeed even if they wanted to do it.

Because Bao Zheng fell into the lake, he was wet all over and could only go to Gongsun Ce’s room to change into a dry set of clothes. By the time Bao Zheng arrived at the hall, Zhao Zhen, Gongsun Ce, Lin Yan, Cui Wei and Fang Qing had already gathered in the hall.

Zhao Zhen spoke to Bao Zheng: "Bao Zheng, we have already lost our troops and generals before we take action. What plans do you have next?"

Bao Zheng nodded and said, "Your Highness, since you have invited Fairy Cuiwei, according to the original plan, you should ask Fairy Cuiwei to help monitor Liu Mei."

Bao Zheng immediately told Cui Wei about the whole story and said the intention. Fang Qing listened to all this, but said, "How can I ask my master to take action in such a small matter? I will monitor that Eunuch Liu." After she finished speaking, she immediately walked out with her long sword.

Bao Zheng was originally worried that Fang Qing was too young and could not be competent, and was about to say something. Cui waved his hand and said, "Bao Zheng, please let her go with confidence. Fang Qing can definitely be competent just by monitoring Liu Mei."

After hearing Cui Wei's words, Bao Zheng nodded immediately and said to Zhao Zhen: "Your Highness, now that the Crown Prince has monitored all the suspected leaders, then we should start to prepare for precautions. Once we find that one of them has abnormal movements, we will immediately capture it. Youdao is to capture the king first to capture the thief! As long as we pinch the snake head of the Moutianhui, they will not bite us."
