The next day, Marquis Yongyi transferred Fang Yonghao to the Ministry of Personnel to serve as its chief clerk, and Bo Jinjue was also promoted to chief clerk. Everyone treated him with extra courtesy for Marquis Yongyi's sake.

Bo Jinjue returned to the Marquis' Mansion drunk and slumped down in the flower hall. Bo Jinnian, who was returning home at night, happened to see him and hurried over to persuade him.

"Brother, you've never been this drunk before. Can I help you back to your room?"

Bo Jinjue waved his hand, pushed Bo Jinnian away and said, "What do you know? I'm happy today!"

"Happy!"

After saying that, Bo Jinjue fed himself a sip of wine, but he choked and started coughing repeatedly.

He rolled under the table, coughing.

Bo Jinnian immediately squatted over to support him, but was suddenly pulled back by Bo Jinjue, whose drunken eyes tried hard to look into Bo Jinnian's eyes.

"You must have a way, right?"

Bo Jinnian helped Bo Jinjue sit up first: "Brother, if you have any problems, please tell me and I will definitely help you solve them if I can."

Bo Jinjue immediately grabbed Bo Jinnian's arm tightly and said, "Save them! Go save them!"

After hearing what Bo Jinjue said, Bo Jinnian immediately went out and rushed to Hongxiuzhao.

There was a panic in Hongxiuzhao, and Bo Jinnian grabbed the madam and asked what happened.

The madam held her fallen horse bun and complained, "I don't know who it was, but a few masked men suddenly appeared, kidnapped the courtesan Wu Niangzi, jumped from the second-floor window onto the roof, and disappeared."

"From which room?"

The madam lifted Bo Jinnian's skirt and took her to the room. Sure enough, she saw the window was open and Fang Yonghao had fainted on the ground.

"Oh my god, Prince!"

The madam seemed to have not had time to enter the room to check and did not know that Fang Yonghao had fallen to the ground.

Bo Jinnian squatted down to check on the prince and found that his lips were purple, as if he had been poisoned.

"Call a doctor immediately and inform the Marquis' Mansion that the prince has been poisoned and needs to be taken to see a doctor immediately!"

When the madam heard this, she fainted with a cry.

Fortunately, Gui Gong and others also ran up, and Bo Jinnian gave instructions again. The Gui Gongs were so scared that they dared not slack off, and immediately supported each other and acted separately.

Bo Jinnian jumped out of the window and walked along the roof, and found a group of people running in front of him holding a woman in white hostage.

The distance was not too far, and Bo Jinnian jumped between the eaves while picking up tiles and throwing them out.

The tiles hit the ground, finally attracting the group's attention.

The group of people sent two people out to stop Bo Jinnian, while the other two took Wu Niangzi and continued forward.

Bo Jinnian drew out his sword and jumped off the roof to meet the enemy, but he did not dare to engage in a fight. Fortunately, the two men were of average skill, and Bo Jinnian seized the opportunity and stabbed the two men to the ground, then chased after them with his sword in hand.

The other two men led Wu Niangzi forward, constantly looking back. They didn't want to see Bo Jinnian catching up with them, so they didn't plan to fight head-on and just dodged and fled with their men.

This is Kyoto City. Bo Jinnian, who once was ordered to patrol Kyoto City, is familiar with every alley, especially at night.

Bo Jinnian judged the direction of the two men's escape. Although they were wandering around in this area, there were wider streets with more people nearby. If they fled to the side, it would not be so easy to catch him.

But these two people just don't go out, so there is only one reason.

Their destination is nearby.

Bo Jinnian determined the direction of their escape and took a shortcut to the front. The two men looked back and found that there was no one there. They thought they had finally gotten rid of him, but they didn't expect that Bo Jinnian was waiting for them in front.

"Where are you taking people?"

Bo Jinnian stood in the alley holding a long sword, and the moonlight just came out from the dark clouds and shone between the four people. Wu Niangzi was wrapped in white gauze, but she woke up.

She vaguely saw Bo Jinnian standing in front of her, and at a glance, she mistook him for Bo Jinjue and immediately shouted, "Mr. Bo, save me!"

After hearing this, Bo Jinnian said in a deep voice: "You poisoned the prince, I want to take you back. If you two still care about the prince's life or death, hand this man over to me."

The two men looked at each other, and one of them said, "You are talking nonsense. We are going to take this woman to the Marquis. Don't meddle in other people's business. Go away!"

Bo Jinnian frowned, not quite understanding the current situation.

Wu Niangzi gnashed her teeth and cursed, "I don't want to go, Master Bo, I am innocent, and I will be sent there by them!"

So that's how it is. Marquis Yongyi is famous for his lust. Since this Wu Niangzi is the most beautiful courtesan, she must be extremely beautiful.

But this woman is clearly with the prince, how can a father like me have the heart to kill her?

What role did Bo Jinjue play in this?

Bo Jinnian's intuition told him that Bo Jinjue had drunk so much alcohol and that he had a lot to do with this matter. If he didn't care, Bo Jinjue would probably be implicated.

"What if I don't agree?"

The two men in black looked at each other, put Wu Niangzi on the ground, drew their daggers, and rushed up from both sides.

It didn't take Bo Jinnian much effort to stab the two men to the ground.

Wu Niangzi also struggled out of the white gauze, and the white gauze turned out to be her own clothes.

She took off the white veil that was restricting her, stared at Bo Jinnian who was walking towards her, with her hands hidden under the veil.

Bo Jinnian had extensive experience in fighting enemies and could tell at a glance what the woman was planning to do.

But when Wu Niangzi saw Bo Jinnian's face, she stopped attacking and stared at him in confusion: "Who is this gentleman?"

Bo Jinnian said nothing, but held out his hand: "Antidote, the antidote you used to poison the prince."

Wu Niangzi lowered her head and said, "So the young master came here for the antidote. If you want it, come and get it."

Bo Jinnian knew that she was up to something, so he didn't take precautions. He just squatted down to take it, and saw a flash of cold light passing by under his neck.

Bo Jinnian easily reached out and snatched the dagger away, but then found that she didn't have the antidote in her hand at all.

"Who are you? Are you here to help me or to kill me?"

Bo Jinnian stretched out his hand: "I am helping you, but before that, you must hand over the antidote."

Wu Niangzi has been waiting for this day for a long time, so she will not hand over the antidote herself.

"Your features are somewhat similar to that evil man Bo Jinjue. Who are you?"

Bo Jinnian handed the dagger to Wu Niangzi.

"I think the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion should know about the poisoning of the prince by now. The government officials will track you down immediately. You can only wish you the best."

When Wu Niangzi saw Bo Jinnian put away his sword and left, she immediately got up, cut the white gauze on her body with a dagger, turned around and ran into the crowd.

But her appearance was too outstanding and unique, and she was half-dressed, so she was soon spotted by thugs in the night.

"Don't come here!"

Wu Niangzi was forced into a dead end with her arms locked, holding a small dagger against four or five thugs.
