This morning the sun shone very brightly, it was the day that Zhou Lan's inauguration party was held. As one guest party began to arrive, Zhou Lan treated them very well in order to leave a good impression.
The emperor as a special guest, he sat in the second seat after Zhou Lan. Zhou Lan initially asked the Emperor to sit in his seat but because the Emperor balked and said there was no need, Zhou Lan could only exhale heavily and nod his head.
As all the guests were already seated in the reserved seats, Zhou Lan started talking and greeting them.
“Good morning brother, thank you all for attending this simple event of mine. I hope you enjoy the event I have. So, you can all enjoy a simple banquet of this event.” Zhou Lan said without many words.
All the guests nodded and smiled seeing Zhou Lan's kind and courteous treatment. Some also looked at him with admiration and envy for his policies and attitude.
“Please enjoy Your Majesty!” zhou Lan said as she bowed her body.
“Hm.” The emperor answered.
The banquet session was over, now it was time to deliver some speeches by the event owner.
“Thank you all for wanting to eat this simple meal of mine. Here I am grateful that you all took the time to attend, my purpose of organizing the event is not much. The first is for the celebration of my inauguration as the new Mayor of Yiheng city. Then the second I want to get together and ask for advice to all the guests about how to be a good official in the community.” Said Zhou Lan.
“However before that I would like to ask for advice from His Majesty the Emperor as the leader of our country.” Said Zhou Lan while looking down at the Emperor the sign he asked the Emperor to speak.
“There is not much I will say, I only advise that Mr Zhou and other officials carry out their duties properly with sincerity without any malicious intent behind it.” The Emperor said briefly but clearly some officials began to whisper signs of being uncomfortable with his final sentence, but nevertheless they had no right to vote.
“Ehm, I thank you for your suggestion. And I will run according to your rules.” Zhou Lan said with a nervous feeling.
“Good” Emperor replied with a chuckle.
“Thank you Your Majesty. And other officials, how would you advise to be a good official?” smith again.
“Sorry Zhou, I personally can only suggest that being a good official is by being fair to the public, also we should help them when they ask for help or not ask for help though.” Said Huang Yilan, Mayor of Xudong in the Western Region.
“Good brother Huang, I will apply your suggestion.” Said Zhou Lan with a small smile, nodding back by Huang Yilan.
“As well as my brother Zhou, I can only advise you that being a good official we must be able to understand the situation in the community. Treat them well and never let evil happen in their environment. If there are reports of robbing cases or others then immediately cracked down so that the community feels calm without any interference.” Said Jing Xima, the father of Jing Zishu who is of course from the south.
“Your suggestions I received well, thank you for the suggestion of brother Jing.” Zhou Lan said kindly.
“If I can only suggest that you can solve all the problems that exist in the community, the most important is the law of those who troublemaker.” Said Kwan Ran, Mayor of the Northern Territory.
“Good brother Kwan, I totally agree with you. Of course we have to address those who troublemakers.” Said Zhou Lan who was nodding back by the other officials.
Guests who are not officials can only listen and nod signs of understanding. Although some of them did not understand anything, still they nodded.
“Thank you all for giving advice to me, especially Your Majesty who gives advice that is worth applying. Since all the sessions of the event have been completed then I say that the event has been completed, but before that I would like to give some small gifts to you guys. I hope you all can take it well.” He said, he glanced at his bottom who was nodded by his subordinates.
The servants gave each of them gifts to all the guests. All gifts are in a square box that is made specifically. After all was done, the guests opened the gift box at Zhou Lan's request.
“Surely they will be happy.” Zhou Lan said softly as the guests began to open the gift box.
“What the fuck is this?”
“Why is there a blood patch with a knife in it?”
“What does this Zhou want to threaten us?”
“What is he intending badly?”
“This humiliation!!”
The guests started shouting rifely as they looked at the contents of the gift box. Zhou Lan who saw that was shocked half to death, heart was already pounding with panic.
He who could not believe tried to see the contents of the gift box from the guest closest to him, how surprised he was when he saw blood with a bloodstained knife.
“Thisi... This is not as you all think. This is a mistake, someone deliberately destroyed my event, Please all of you do not misunderstand.” Said Zhou Lan shouting panic trying to calm the guests.
“This is inexcusable, he insulted His Majesty.” Said one of the guests.
“True, let's law him.” The other guests shouted furiously.
“NO, IT'S NOT LIKE YOU GUYS IMAGINED!” Zhou Lan increasingly shouted, he was panicked and confused by what was happening.
“This must have been the boy, he went back for revenge.” Zhou Lan started to blame Zhou Shiyue for thinking there was only that child at the moment.
“Who do you mean? Who takes revenge?” the guests grew even more furious when they saw Zhou Lan start accusing others.
“She Zhou Shiyue, the boy. He's there!” Zhou Lan pointed at a young man who was now walking at a leisurely pace towards him. But his gaze began to wander when he saw the palace walk behind him.
“Catch that guy!” Zhou Shiyue ordered.
“Good.” They were all glaring and started to approach Zhou Lan, in order to catch the old man.
“No! What are you guys doing?” Zhou Lan started to rebel and shout.
“Ayaahh!!! Zhou Shiyue what are you trying to do!!!” Zhou Li began to shout furiously, he approached Zhou Lan trying to stop the courtiers.
“Ignore them!” zhou Shiyue said with a cold look.
Paste the palace through Zhou Li to make him fall down, he stood with the help of a beautiful girl who was very recognizable Zhou Shiyue.
“Nana?” zhou Shiyue.
“Sister Shiyue, what are you trying to do? Why do you want to catch dad?” Zhou Nana spoke in a dislike tone.
“He has committed many crimes and hoaxes, he should be arrested and investigated.” Zhou Shiyue explained.
“No, don't catch my dad.” Said gads.
“So sorry if I was being tough.” Zhou Shiyue said back flat, he ordered the stake to immediately bring Zhou Lan to the prison.
Zhou Lan was finally able to only resign with an angry look towards Zhou Shiyue who was looking at him coldly.
“Sorry everyone if I act during the event, after all he has done a lot of crime and deception. He should be arrested immediately.” His words explained to the guests who were looking at him with a puzzled look.
“Brother Shiyue? ” Jing Zishu rubbed into the crowd to approach him.
“Jing Zishu? Yes it's me.” Zhou Shiyue replied kindly, he hugged his friend briefly.
“Why did you catch Mr Zhou?” asked the young man in curiosity.
“All of his actions will be known later after the investigation, but all evidence has been in the hands of the authorized officer. He will definitely be punished.” Zhou Shiyue explained.
“Kak Shiyue? Why would you do this to us?” ujare Zhou Nana was weak
“You don't understand anything, you will know the truth.” Zhou Shiyue said briefly as she glanced at her younger brother despite the fact that she was eager to approach the girl and clasped her tightly.
“Shiyue?” The Emperor came up to him and patted him on the shoulder.
“The story is long, I will explain later in the palace. For now you should go back to the palace. Because most likely this Zhou residence will soon be closed.” Said Zhou Shiyue.
“Good, I wait for your explanation.” Said the Emperor, he walked past Zhou Shiyue accompanied by the Third General and the Fourth General who could currently only pat his sister on the shoulder.
The guests who were still curious and shocked by what happened could now only go to their respective territories after Zhou Shiyue suggested them.
Today's incident was quite shocking and was completely unexpected. Zhou Shiyue's reward was completely unpredictable.
