Pang Xiao's mind was racing, and he immediately understood Lu Heng's intention.
At this time, Lu Heng must have determined that the treasure is in the stone factory. The arrival of the Empress and Concubine Zhuang added a layer of pressure to Lu Heng, and more and more people were watching his movements, and they were still able to reach the sky. It was even more impossible to secretly transport things out.
Therefore, he is trying to find a way to do it in an open and honest way, but also to prevent others from interfering in this matter.
The two of them are both political enemies and rivals in love, and the contradictions have long been irreconcilable. Not to mention that they have to eat from the same pot right now, even if they are kissing on the surface, they have to wear a pair of trousers, and it is impossible to let go of their defenses. Pang Xiao must always be on guard against Lu Heng, and Lu Heng must be the same.
Pang Xiao couldn't help thinking from Lu Heng's point of view.
Lu Heng must have thought that only he himself knew about the treasure.
Therefore, Lu Heng will definitely try his best to squeeze him out of the ranks who can contact the stone factory.
How to squeeze out
That must be for him to open his mouth and quit.
How to get him to quit willingly
Let him feel the crisis! Make him feel that continuing to interfere in the stone factory is likely to bring bad consequences!
The Lu family has a deep foundation. In the construction of the imperial mausoleum, Lu Heng's influence must be avoided in the process of buying and selling materials. Therefore, if Pang Xiao is involved, it is very likely that he will be stumped in the middle.
In the past dynasties, most of the officials who built the imperial mausoleum did not end well. Bribes and shoddy are all reasons for beheading. If he doesn't take advantage of the situation, there is a real possibility that Lu Heng will be put on such a hat in the future.
They are all understanding people. It was Pang Xiao who guessed Lu Heng's purpose, and he was immediately sure that Lu Heng made this suggestion in order to force him to withdraw voluntarily and stop meddling in all the materials needed for the construction of the imperial mausoleum. In this way, he can move the treasure logically.
Pang Xiao's thoughts turned, but in the blink of an eye, he smiled slightly and said in admiration, "Bo Zhongyi is thoughtful and thoughtful, this king is ashamed of himself."
Lu Heng smiled slightly, "Your Highness is too modest."
Pang Xiao smiled and said, "This king has a ruthless request, I don't know if Uncle Zhongyi can accept it."
Lu Heng's smile deepened, "Your Highness, please order."
"This king is a rough man and the most impatient person. The materials for the construction of the imperial mausoleum are very mixed, and there are a lot of piles on the stone factory. When I look at this king, my brain hurts. In my opinion, this The materials for the construction of the imperial mausoleum might as well be handed over to Uncle Zhongyi for management. In this way, Uncle can take care of him more comprehensively, and this king can also be lazy. I wonder what Uncle thinks?"
"This, since the prince ordered me, I will naturally follow the orders."
"Then it's going to work on you."
"Don't dare to be, these are the duties of a lower official, and you must do your best to do things for the sage." Lu Heng said with a smile: "Since the prince does not object, the lower official will go to the sage and wait until the sage. Once approved, the execution begins.”
Neither of them have the right to make decisions in private when it comes to building the imperial tomb, so naturally they have to answer the question before they can act.
Pang Xiao nodded with a smile: "As for the materials, let's just listen to Uncle Zhongyi."
Lu Heng was satisfied, and chatted with Pang Xiao again.
The two have their own thoughts, but they don't seem embarrassed to chat.
Before Lu Heng came, he had actually expected that Pang Xiao would nod to agree. Pang Xiao kept saying that he was a rude and impatient to take care of these things, but Lu Heng knew that if this person was a rookie, he might not live today at all.
Pang Xiao has a very keen sense of smell, as if he was born to avoid danger.
His Lu family has the ability to intervene in the materials of the imperial mausoleum. Even if he does not come to the door in person today, Pang Xiao may find an opportunity to retreat in the future, so as not to be depended on in the future.
Now he took this opportunity to make this request, and sure enough, Pang Xiao agreed.
Lu Heng was in a good mood on the way back from the palace.
When he goes to Shusheng, he can start investigating.
When you want to move the treasure, it will be easy.
After Lu Heng left, Pang Xiao immediately told Qin Yining what happened today.
Qin Yining was originally embroidering, but when she heard the words, she didn't have the heart to work anymore. She put down the embroidery stretch and pondered: "He is forcing you to let go."
"Yeah." Pang Xiao Zilai knew that Qin Yining was smart, and she could guess the details of many things just by looking at them. But as soon as he talked about the matter, Qin Yining could immediately hit the point, but Pang Xiao couldn't help but be amazed and heartbroken.
Qin Yining quickly went through the current situation in his heart, and then smiled: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with it. Now the stones and the like are still untouched. Let's step back at this time, so that he does not really set up the frame. Now Leave everything to him, we're safe, he can focus on the treasure, it's killing two birds with one stone."
Pang Xiao nodded with a smile, "Lu Heng should have made the same inference."
"Of course, he doesn't know that we already know where the treasure is, so in his eyes, you are just frightened by his threats and take the opportunity to avoid risks."
Qin Yining's eyes wandered, and he said, "It's okay, if he wants to go to Shusheng, let him go, and let him have fun for a while. But it's also a blessing that he can think of a way, or we have to think of a way to release water for him and let him go. He took the stones away smoothly."
Pang Xiao laughed when he heard it, pulled Qin Yining into his arms and shook it, "My sister Yi is so smart."
Qin Yining couldn't help laughing, "Okay, you've already made your decision, and come here to praise me again? Your mouth is so sweet, did you eat honey?"
When Pang Xiao saw Qin Yining's smiling face, his heart softened.
From the first time she met her, before she was in her hair, she was as delicate and lovely as the buds on the branches in early spring.
In the past six years, she has become his wife and gave birth to Brother Zhao and Brother Han for him. She also stands out like a mature peach.
Whenever this time, Pang Xiao has a strong sense of crisis, she is still so young and beautiful, but he is approaching his thirties. She is not an ordinary woman, she is rare in the world with such intelligence and courage. Even if she is married, those who love her still miss her. Isn't that Lu Heng one of them
Pang Xiao carefully touched her lips with his lips, and used the tip of his tongue to describe her lips with great care, and said vaguely, "Have I eaten honey? Huh? Would you like to try it?"
The room was quiet, save for occasional whispers and light panting.
At this time, Lu Heng had already returned to the mansion, and he started to write down Li Qitian's excerpts, and ordered people to send them to the capital quickly.
At the same time, a decree from the capital was being rolled into a bamboo tube by an inner prisoner wearing an iron-grey round-neck sunflower shirt, wrapped in oiled paper for several layers, and delivered to the Huichuan County Yamen day and night.
It was the next day when Pang Xiao and Qin Yining got the news.
"My lord, I have already found out. The Tatar Utkin Khan brought Ketun and a large number of tributes to Beijing to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday. Due to the rain, we took a detour to Huichuan County. Bo has full authority to handle the reception and welcome Utkin Khan and Ketun to Beijing."
Hu Zi frowned and replied, standing beside him with a heavy expression on his face.
Qin Yining pondered for a moment and said, "I find this a bit strange."
"Yes. When Hall Master Liao and Jing Zhe came back, didn't they tell you that the Tartar had changed in the desert?" Pang Xiao's words were to the point.
Qin Yining nodded, "If the Tartars really wanted to surrender, they wouldn't be dispatching troops and then coming to celebrate their birthday. But we can't make random guesses based on our own judgment, if this is a coincidence."
Pang Xiao smiled, "It's always right to be on guard. The Empress Dowager Shengshou is on the 26th of August, and there are still two months left. Now that Siqin arrives at Huichuan, he has reserved time for accidents on the way."
"It's just that if Uncle Zhongyi welcomes Utkin Khan into Beijing, it will definitely delay our serious business."
They just created an opportunity for Lu Heng to transport the treasure, but at this juncture, Si Qin came, are they really born to be aggressive
Pang Xiao naturally knew the truth, but he just smiled when he heard the words, "It doesn't matter, we are anxious about this matter, but Bob Zhongyi is even more anxious than us, just like a golden brick is right in front of you, you can pick it up by pulling away the floating soil. He got up, but someone came at this time, he didn't want to be discovered, you said that he was not anxious."
Hearing what Pang Xiao said, Qin Yining also recalled it and shook his head with a smile, "Of course he is anxious. He is not a stupid person, I don't think he will allow the arrival of Utkin Khan and his party to disturb him. As planned, let's just wait and see what happens, maybe he can figure out a way not to go to Beijing without us doing it."
Of course, Pang Xiao knew that what Qin Yining said was right. If Lu Heng was a stupid person, he wouldn't have gotten to where he is today, resisting the heavy burden of the head of the Lu family. But seeing how confident she was in Lu Heng's ability, Pang Xiao felt a little sour in his heart.
It's just that he's not happy and he's not happy. He's a big man, and he can't keep up with such trivial matters. This is what he took the initiative to discuss with Qin Yining, and it's not Qin Yining's ability to talk about Lu Heng when he has nothing to do.
Although Pang Xiao didn't say anything, Qin Yining guessed what Pang Xiao was thinking when he saw the slight change in his expression, and couldn't help shaking his head in a funny way.
Being such an adult, he sometimes acts like a child fighting for candy. No matter how old a man is, there is a side that seems to have never grown up.
In the Lu Mansion, Lu Heng settled down the inner prisoner who sent the order, and walked to the study with a smile on his face.
Lu Wenru had followed him for many years, and when he saw Lu Heng's back walking forward with his hands behind his back, he had already begun to feel apprehensive. Don't look at the uncle looking calm, but in fact, he should have been extremely irritable at this time. At this time, he will anger him if he is not careful, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
Lu Wenru followed Lu Heng with low eyebrows and followed Lu Heng, holding up the oil-paper umbrella high for Lu Heng to block the drizzle.
As soon as Lu Heng entered the door of the study, he couldn't hold his expression any longer, and sat down on the heated kang by the window irritably.
"Wenru, tell me, why did the sage entrust me with the matter of welcoming the Tatar khan and not to Prince Zhongshun?"
