Wang Yanqing is supervising Lu Xunbahong in the mansion. Next year, he will enter the palace to read as a companion to King Yu, and he cannot relax his etiquette and knowledge. Wang Yanqing didn't ask him to be rich or noble, as long as he was safe and sound.
Halfway through writing, Lingxi suddenly walked in from the outside and said, "Madam."
Wang Yanqing looked at Lingxi's expression and knew that something had happened outside. She made Lingluan stare at Lu Xuan and wrote the remaining half of the paper. She took Lingxi out and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lingxi attached to Wang Yanqing's ear and said, "Madam, Marquis Wu Ding died violently in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and the Governor was ordered to investigate the cause of Marquis Wu Ding's death."
Wang Yanqing's eyes widened in surprise, Marquis Wuding died suddenly
Last night, Lu Heng came back and told her that the emperor asked him to transfer Marquis Wuding to the imperial prison of Jinyiwei, presumably because he meant to take care of it lightly. After all, everyone knows that Guo Xun's collusion with the enemy is really nonsense.
The emperor let Xia Wenjin impeach Guo Xun, and after Guo Xun was imprisoned, he also implicated Yongding Houfu and Zhenyuanhoufu, just to take the opportunity to beat Guo Xun.
In recent years, Guo Xun has become more and more drifting. He even dared to write "The Legend of Heroes and Martyrs". The emperor was grateful for his support, and he has been kind to the Guo family all these years. After Guo Xun compiled the "Brave of Heroes and Martyrs", the emperor also took advantage of the situation to posthumously seal Guo Ying.
However, this does not mean that the emperor's patience is unlimited, especially Guo Xun's hand stretched too long in the army. The Northwest Army is the emperor's army, not their Guo family's.
But knocking and knocking, no one thought of letting Guo Xun die. Guo Xun was extremely influential among the nobles, and his roots were almost all over the army.
Moreover, just before Jin Yiwei transferred Guo Xun, Guo Xun died, the timing was too coincidental. Wang Yanqing quickly asked, "How is Lu Heng?"
"The governor is fine. The governor discovered something was wrong in time, and he didn't approach the Marquis of Wuding. The death of Marquis Wuding could not depend on the governor anyway."
Wang Yanqing was secretly relieved. The factions of Lu Heng and Guo Xun have always been not in harmony. If Guo Xun's affairs are planted on Lu Heng's head, it will be troublesome.
After Wang Yanqing was sure that Lu Heng was safe, he asked, "What did he ask you to do?"
"The governor sent slaves to escort his wife, disguised as a maid, and went to the prison for an autopsy."
"Okay." Wang Yanqing agreed without hesitation. She often goes in and out of Nanzhen Fusi, and is not as taboo as ordinary women in prison. Wang Yanqing said, "I'll go back and settle Xian'er. You can ask the people from Nanzhen Fusi to wait at the second gate."
"It's not Nanzhen Fusi." Lingxi said, "It's the Ministry of Punishment."
Wang Yanqing and Lingxi disguised as maids, followed behind Zuzuo and headed for the prison. She had to cover her face during the autopsy, which was convenient for Wang Yanqing. She covered her face with a white cloth, so she didn't have to be found out of her way.
After Lu Heng found out that Guo Xun was dead, he asked Jin Yiwei to guard the cell door, and no one was allowed to enter, move or destroy the scene, so Guo Xun's body was still lying in the original cell.
Guo Xun was the Marquis of Wuding. Even if he became a prisoner, he would not be treated like an ordinary criminal. His cell was spacious and clean, with beds and seats. At this moment, many people came to hear the news. Jin Yiwei blocked the door and prevented people from entering. Everyone could only squeeze in the corridor, which was overcrowded.
Wang Yanqing followed Zuo Zuo to the front of the cell and was blocked by the crowd. As a man, it was fine to squeeze in, but Wang Yanqing was inconvenient to squeeze in a group of men. Jin Yiwei, who was leading the way, coughed and said loudly, "Captain, Zuzuo is here."
Lu Heng was checking in the cell, and when he heard the sound, he came out immediately, and walked towards Zu Zuo quickly: "Why did you come here? Come in for an autopsy."
After Lu Heng came out, the crowd automatically split a path from the middle. He seemed to be entering the door with a scorpion, but he was secretly blocking the people next to him with his body. Wang Yanqing took the opportunity to bow his head and followed him into the cell.
After giving a quick salute to the adults present, Zuo Zuo opened the toolbox and started the autopsy. Wang Yanqing stood beside Zuo Zuo and handed the tools, but in fact, she didn't need to do anything at all. Lingxi had already done everything for him. Wang Yanqing only needed to stand quietly and observe the crowd around him.
As Zuzuo came in, the access control was canceled by default, and without Jin Yiwei blocking it, the others couldn't help but walk into the cell and watch Zuzuo's autopsy up close.
After all, it was Marquis Wu Ding who was lying on the ground, and he didn't dare to disembowel him. He just used tools to check Guo Xun's mouth and eyes, to test the temperature of his neck, and to check for scars along his entire body. After rubbing Marquis Wuding all over, he stood up and bowed to Lu Heng with some embarrassment: "Reporting to the Governor, Marquis Wuding has no traces of strangulation, trauma, or poisoning on his body. The cause of death cannot be seen for the time being. It may be a sudden illness."
Hearing Zuzuo's words, the surrounding officials looked relieved. Lu Heng stared at Zuo Zuo closely and asked, "Sudden illness? Are you sure?"
Zuo Zuo hesitated: "I can't really find the cause of death, so I have to make this guess."
An official next to him said: "Marquis Wu Ding has indeed suffered from old illnesses for many years. He was first in prison, and he couldn't think of it for a while. It is not impossible that the old illness caused him."
"Yeah." The others responded in unison.
Lu Heng looked at these people without saying a word, and suddenly said to Zu Zuo, "Give me the gloves."
Zuo Zuo was stunned for a moment, and was about to go to the toolbox to get new gloves, when the maid, who was wearing a white handkerchief, had already picked up the gloves and handed them to Lu Heng. When Lu Heng took things, he glanced at her, and suddenly turned his hand over, motioning for him to put it on.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, everyone felt that Lu Heng's behavior was a little strange, but they couldn't say what was strange. Wang Yanqing only had one pair of eyes on her face, she glanced at Lu Heng silently from the end of her eyes, bowed her head meekly, and lightly helped the Governor put on gloves.
When she retracted her hand, Lu Heng's fingers gently hooked on her palm. Wang Yanqing quickly scanned the crowd in front of him, quickly retracted his hand, lowered his head and retracted back.
Lu Heng wore a glove on his hand that Madam personally helped him pull, and waved his finger, motioning him to turn the corpse over. Zuo Zuo thought to himself that he had clearly checked his back just now and was sure that there was no wound. Why did the governor still need to check
But Zuzuo didn't dare to show it, and carefully helped Guo Xun's body to turn over. Lu Heng stood beside Guo Xun's body and watched for a while, then suddenly crouched down, untied his hair crown, and groped at the back of his head. Not long after, Lu Heng pulled out a slender needle from the back of Guo Xun's head.
There was a suppressed gasp from the surroundings, Lu Heng looked at the bloodstain on the needle, placed it on the evidence tray, got up and said, "Marquis Wu Ding did not die of a sudden illness, but was stunned by a drug, and he was sleeping while he was sleeping. He used a fine needle to pierce the back of his head when he was on the scene. Therefore, Marquis Wuding had no trauma at all, and there was no blood on his clothes."
Some officials were puzzled and couldn't help but ask: "Then how do you know the murder weapon is in the back of his head?"
"Yeah. It's so hidden, who would know except the murderer?"
Lu Heng smiled and looked at the person opposite: "Everyone is full of poetry and books, but you might as well spend more time watching the real world. Although Marquis Wu Ding's cell is separated from ordinary prisoners, flies can't be avoided. At that time, I saw the flies spinning on Marquis Wuding's hair alone, and I was puzzled, so I started to investigate, but I didn't expect to find the real weapon that killed Marquis Wuding."
Wang Yanqing was amazed that it was based on the fly. This kind of meticulous observation ability is really compelling.
The officials of the Ministry of Punishment were also subtly silent. It is rumored that Lu Heng has no unsolvable case. It is said that during his southern tour, Lu Heng discovered an unjust case in three days, and he has done everything from investigation to arrest.
The people in the punishment department were somewhat unimpressed by their peers. Until now, they have seen Lu Heng find the murder weapon in a matter of seconds. Obviously they came in at about the same time, but they didn't realize anything.
Another asked: "How do you know that he was stunned by drugs?"
"This is even easier." Lu Heng pointed to the needle on the tray and said, "It is absolutely painful to pierce such a long needle into the brain. If Marquis Wu Ding is in a conscious state, it is impossible not to struggle, but Marquis Wu Ding's limbs are relaxed. His eyes were also closed, which shows that there was no fighting before his death. Marquis Wuding had the experience of marching and fighting. If someone approached him in his sleep, he would not have been unaware. Excluding the impossible, the murderer could only rely on The drug fascinated Marquis Wuding, and then took the opportunity to murder."
Everyone in the punishment department was silent, and Lu Heng continued: "The information I got from the corpse is more than that. When I came to interrogate Marquis Wu Ding, Marquis Wu Ding was sitting with his back to the aisle. It was impossible for him to maintain his sitting posture during the period of fainting. He was in this posture. I found out that it was wrong, and immediately let the prison guards from the Ministry of Punishment come in to save the people. At that time, Marquis Wuding's body was slightly stiff, but it could be flattened. According to the current climate, the time of Marquis Wuding's death should have arrived in half an hour. Within an hour. Check who has delivered wine or food to Marquis Wuding during this time, and you will know who killed Marquis Wuding."
Everyone looked at each other, Lu Heng looked at them with a smile, waited for a while and asked, "Why, the lords of the Ministry of Punishment can't even find a single person who delivered the meal?"
It was June, and the smell around the body was bad. Lu Heng moved to the lobby outside and waited. Wang Yanqing and Zuo Zuo stood behind him. The Minister of Punishment wanted to go out to find someone, but was forcibly left behind by Lu Heng. After waiting for a while, the Minister of Punishment quickly came back from the outside and cupped his hands: "Reporting to Shang Shu and Governor Lu, the person who delivered the meal has been found, and it is a man who is temporarily on duty."
"What about people?"
"Just found, he fell into the canal and drowned."
Lu Heng took the people out of the punishment department. Lu Heng was transferred by Lu Heng from Nanzhen Fusi, and he also came out with Lu Heng at this moment. Jin Yiwei followed behind Lu Heng and said, "The Governor, the other party stumbled and drowned as soon as he found the murderer. There must be something strange about this."
"Of course." Lu Heng said, "I help people deliver meals temporarily. No one in the Ministry of Punishment knows his details. It is estimated that there is no evidence at home."
When Jin Yiwei heard it, he said worriedly, "Why did the Governor conduct an autopsy at the Department of Punishment? If he takes it back to the Nanzhen Fusi, he will definitely not let the murderer escape. Now that the clues are broken, what can we do next?"
"What's the use of me finding a food delivery person?" Lu Heng said, "Can I still settle accounts with him? I killed Marquis Wu Ding and wanted to frame Jin Yiwei. This is not something an ordinary person would dare to do. There must be someone behind it. Instructed by some high-ranking officials. What I want to do is to find these driving forces behind the scenes, not to catch a simple killer."
Jin Yiwei nodded instructed, and then he found that the case seemed to be still in a dead circle: "But now there are no clues, how to find the person behind the scenes?"
"Who said no." Lu Heng glanced behind him and said with a smile, "I have found it."
The entourage Qi Qi showed a look of surprise, they were completely confused, but it was always right to praise the Governor for being wise. Lu Heng chuckled and sighed, "It takes ten days to investigate the cause of Marquis Wuding's death, one day is enough."
Wang Yanqing followed behind, unable to bear to roll his eyes.
"Captain, what should we do next?"
"No hurry." Lu Heng said, "Go back to Nanzhen Fusi first."
After arriving at Nanzhen Fusi, Zuo Zuo was taken back to the back, but Wang Yanqing, a maid, appeared in the private palace of the highest officer of Nanzhen Fusi. Lu Heng took off the white cloth on Wang Yanqing's face with his own hands, looked left and right and said, "How can such a beautiful face be hidden under the rough cloth every day? Don't do anything in the future, how about being my wife?"
Wang Yanqing rolled his eyes at him and said, "Didn't the governor have a wife? I heard that his son is three years old."
"Oh yes." Lu Heng nodded, "I almost forgot. It doesn't matter, she will be my wife in the house, and you will be my wife in Nanzhen Fusi."
Wang Yanqing twisted him hard after hearing this, and shook off his hand forcefully: "I don't dare to be the governor's love, I'll leave now."
Lu Heng smiled and hugged her from behind: "Qingqing, I'm still counting on you, what should I do if you leave?"
"Go find your caring female subordinate."
This is Lu Heng shooting himself in the foot. He hugged the person and sat on the chair, coaxing in a low voice: "I was wrong. How can I have any female subordinates? You have been to Nanzhen Fusi so many times. , Apart from the prisoner, have you ever seen a woman here?"
This sentence reminded Wang Yanqing, and she suddenly realized: "Yes, there are also female prisoners. I heard that many young ladies recommended their own pillow seats to the governor, just to help the family get rid of crimes."
Lu Heng let out a sigh and sneered: "Do their Spring and Autumn Dreams. The benefits are all theirs. What good will it do for me?"
Wang Yanqing stared at him and said, "You can have young and fresh beauties to pick."
Lu Heng looked at Wang Yanqing and smiled, and also stared at her closely and said, "They are not as beautiful as you, as white as you, as soft as you. With this skill, why don't I go home and go to Qingqing?"
Wang Yanqing's face turned red, both ashamed and angry, bit her lip and cursed, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Lu Heng thought to himself how this could be called nonsense, he clearly came from the bottom of his heart. But Lu Heng knew that enough was enough, and if he continued to tease him, he would have no beauty to enjoy tonight.
Lu Heng hugged Wang Yanqing and said, "I'm joking, don't be angry. Qingqing, did you see anything in the punishment department today?"
Lu Heng deliberately inspected Guo Xun's body in the Prison Department prison, on the one hand to protect the scene, but more importantly to observe their reactions. Anyone who is guilty and nervous when listening in, is at least an insider.
Wang Yanqing nodded, and immediately asked, "But, I don't know who they are."
"It doesn't matter." Lu Heng put one arm around Wang Yanqing, and took a pen from the table with the other hand, smoothing the pen, dipping the ink, and writing the pen in one go, and easily drew the station map in the cell, "You said each position The Venerable Master's expression, I remember who they are."
Wang Yanqing clearly remembered that when the officials entered the cell, they randomly searched for positions, and after that, there were people walking around. It was terrifying that Lu Heng could remember them all.
With the help of the station sketch, Wang Yanqing recalled the expressions of the people at that time one by one, and she pointed out any abnormality. Lu Heng nodded while listening. Wang Yanqing's mouth was dry. She took a sip from Lu Heng's tea cup and asked in surprise, "Don't you remember it?"
Lu Heng was startled, and nodded instructed: "Madam is right, I'll remember it."
Lu Heng sat in the most powerful hall of Nanzhen Fusi, with his sweet wife sitting on his lap, and from time to time ticked off the names of a few officials, figuring out who would be unlucky next. With Wang Yanqing's help in cheating, Lu Heng quickly found out what the officials of the Ministry of Punishment really had. He put down his pen, took the paper he had just written on to the candle, and watched the paper turn to ashes with his own eyes: "It's pretty much what I guessed."
Wang Yanqing asked, "Who do you think was behind the killing of Marquis Wuding?"
In this case, it is useless to find the murderer. The person behind the scenes will definitely not do it himself. After he has silenced the murderer, it is difficult to find the evidence. So Lu Heng gave up looking for the real murderer at the beginning, but deliberately used it as bait to deceive other people's reactions.
Without thinking about it, Lu Heng sneered: "It must be Xia Wenjin. Besides him, who else must let Guo Xun die, and who else can command the execution of this great Buddha?"
"Xia Shoufu?" Wang Yanqing was puzzled, "But, Xia Shoufu and Marquis Wuding don't have any deep hatred, right? Why did you want to attack?"
Lu Heng hugged Wang Yanqing and said slowly: "Qingqing, in the officialdom, no one has a bloody feud with anyone, but if you don't want to die yourself, you can only kill the other party one step ahead. Xia Wenjin and Guo Xun have always had a prejudice, this time Xia Wenjin has completely offended the family of Marquis Wuding, these people are all Duke Hou Xungui, if they wait for Guo Xun to come out, can they let Xia Wenjin go?"
The Guo family is a big family that has been inherited for two hundred years, and its lifespan is as long as that of Daming, but Xia Wenjin is only one person, and all reliance is tied to the position of the first assistant. Once he left the cabinet, he was just an ordinary old man, and would be torn apart by big families like Guo and Hong.
If Xia Wenjin can't kill Guo Xun this time, when Guo Xun comes out, he will definitely be torn down from the position of first assistant. At that time, it will be Xia Wenjin's daughter and granddaughter who will go out and kneel outside someone else's door.
But Xia Wen really shouldn't count on Lu Heng. Before the courtroom quarreled so fiercely, it was actually just Xia Wenjin and Guo Xun fighting, but now that Xia Wenjin brought Lu Heng in, he should consider himself unlucky.
Wang Yanqing only sighed when he thought of the official struggle to kill the whole clan. She couldn't figure it out a bit and asked, "Even if it's really Xia Shoufu, how does he know you're going to find Guo Xun?"
"Anyone who can get into the cabinet is not bad." Lu Heng's eyes were deep, and he seemed to be thinking about someone. "It should be someone who overheard the words of the emperor and I yesterday, and then passed it on to Xia Wenjin."
"Do you know who it is?"
"Probably a few." Lu Heng said and patted Wang Yanqing's hand, "I'll take you home first. It's not safe for Lu Xun to be at home alone. I'll go back early tonight."
"it is good."
Lu Heng locked the candidate on the first day, but he had to pay attention to the emperor, and he had to pay attention to some evidence. When Lu Heng was collecting evidence, a strange thing happened in the courtroom.
Lu Heng was impeached.
Lu Heng really hadn't felt the taste of being impeached for a long time.
That night, Lu Heng went home, holding his white and soft wife and complaining: "Qingqing, I was impeached today."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yanqing asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"Someone impeached me for corruption." Lu Heng raised his eyebrows and said speechlessly, "I really can't refute this."
Corruption is a universal brick in the officialdom, where it needs to be moved. After all, the official salary of Jinyiwei is definitely not enough to support the extravagant expenses of the Lu family.
Wang Yanqing asked with concern: "Who is impeaching you?"
"A few officials." Lu Heng laughed and said, "But I know who ordered it. The emperor just asked me to investigate the cause of Guo Xun's death, and I was impeached afterwards. What a coincidence."
"You mean Xia Shoufu?"
"It's not him, who else could it be?" Lu Heng hugged the slender and soft waist of the person in his arms, so sweet and nephrite, he should decorate her with Lingluo jewelry all over the world, and being impeached for a sentence or two of corruption counts What
Wang Yanqing didn't have time to pay attention to his dishonest hand, and his whole mind was on impeachment: "Then what did the emperor say?"
"The emperor didn't say anything." Lu Heng chuckled, "Don't worry, Qingqing, they impeach me for corruption, which means they can't catch my other reasons. The emperor also understands and won't care about this kind of thing."
When Wang Yanqing heard this, his heart was calm. Lu Heng was soon no longer satisfied with rubbing and hugging her. He supported Wang Yanqing's back and put her on the couch, saying, "But I didn't let them impeach for nothing. If you dare to impeach me, you must dare to bear the burden. The price for offending me. I don't think I have to wait ten days before I can present the cause of Guo Xun's death to the emperor tomorrow."
Lu Heng did what he said, and the next day, he went to Xinei to report the facts of the sudden death of Marquis Wuding of Ming Dynasty. The emperor was silent for a long time after hearing this, and said, "I understand, let's step back."
Lu Heng raised his hand: "The minister follows the order."
Lu Heng and the emperor had known each other for many years and understood the emperor's thoughts very well. Once he got out of this door, he could no longer mention Guo Xun's death to anyone. It is appalling that Xungui, the founder of the country, was killed with a fine needle in the Ministry of Punishment. This is not good for the Guo family and the court's reputation. Let Guo Xun go safely in the name of illness.
Lu Heng walked out of the palace gate and said to Jin Yiwei, "Notify the people in the Marquis of Wuding's mansion to pick up Marquis Wuding's body."
After the autopsy in the prison of the Ministry of Justice, Lu Heng asked someone to bring Guo Xun's body back to the Nanzhen Fusi. It was June now, and the corpse was easily rotten and swelled. Fortunately, they were kept under ice all the way, and Marquis Wuding's corpse was not seriously deformed.
Having worked with the DPRK for many years, letting him return to his family with dignity after his death is considered a farewell ceremony for this old enemy by Lu Heng.
Marquis Wu Ding, who had dominated the court for half his life, suddenly died, and the family members of the Guo family cried into tears. Hong Wanqing's high fever had just subsided, and when she learned of the news of her uncle's death, she cried out in the room.
Marquis Wu Ding died violently in the cell, and later the body was taken away by Jin Yiwei. There is no explanation as to how he died. Although Guo Xun is nearly fifty years old, his body has always been healthy, how could he suddenly die suddenly
Of course, the people in the Marquis of Wuding were reluctant to believe it easily, but Guo Xun had no trauma on his body and no signs of poisoning on his lips. Without Guo Xun, the Marquis of Wuding would just be a mass of loose sand, and in the end nothing happened. In the name of disease, it is buried in a coffin.
The emperor sent down several minor officials of the Ministry of Punishment, and scolded the Minister of Punishment and the Minister of Punishment in the name of dereliction of duty and failure to investigate. After all, Marquis Wu Ding suddenly fell ill in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and these people didn't even notice it, and it was not wrong to scold them for dereliction of duty.
The Minister of Punishment listened to the scolding in cold sweat, but luckily, after the emperor finished scolding, he did not pursue it any further.
The minister of punishment secretly let out a sigh of relief. They took care of the traces very cleanly. The person who delivered the food to Marquis Wuding died, and they couldn't find out the reason. They don't know how the needle got into Marquis Wuding's head, let alone who was behind it. instruct. Even if Lu Heng had great ability, he couldn't let the dead speak.
Even if everyone knew that Marquis Wu Ding's death was suspicious, but there was no evidence, they could only give up. Although the Minister of Punishment was scolded, he was not suspended and demoted, and Xia Wenjin was not involved in any way. It seemed that the emperor still believed in Xia Shoufu, and did not suspect Shoufu because of Lu Heng's words.
The Minister of Punishment put his heart back into his stomach after hanging it for several days, thinking, Lu Heng is just like that.
In the Lu Mansion, before going out, Lu Heng explained to the housekeeper: "Today, Marquis Wuding is going out for a funeral. Let's get to know Marquis Wuding. Go and give Marquis Wuding a generous gift."
"Yes."
Lu Heng got on his horse, held the reins calmly, and galloped towards the military governor's mansion. The sound of horses' hooves passing through the streets of the capital was crisp and loud, with the unique rhythm of the early morning in the imperial capital.
The cool breeze passed by Lu Heng, the hem of his clothes fluttered, and the python dragon above seemed to be really about to jump out. Lu Heng stared at the front, and Yoyo gave a part of his mind to Marquis Wu Ding. The decision is the overall situation, and as a human being, you can't just look at the length of time.
Lu Heng shook his head secretly, Guo Xun floated, and Xia Wenjin also floated. The emperor clearly didn't want to kill Guo Xun, but Xia Wenjin made his own decision and violated the emperor's taboo. The emperor has not released Xia Wenjin now, but the emperor is already suspicious of Xia Wenjin. It doesn't happen now, but if Xia Wenjin makes a little mistake in the future, it will arouse the emperor's suspicion.
Everything that Guo Xun has encountered will one day be doubled back to Xia Wenjin.
Hong Wanqing forced her body to send her uncle for the last ride. The Marquis of Wuding's mansion is now gloomy and bleak, and everyone is sad. They all feel that Guo Xun is dead, and the crime of collaborating with the enemy cannot be washed away. However, I didn't expect that there were many people present at the funeral, and Hong Wanqing even saw Lu Mansion in it. When everyone was in awe, Yan Wei, a great scholar, came to the scene in person, solemnly put three incense sticks on Marquis Wuding, and went up to comfort Mrs. Marquis Wuding a few words.
Hong Wanqing followed her aunt and vaguely realized that her uncle's affairs might have turned around.
The Marquis of Wuding gratefully sent Yan Wei away, and after a while, news came from the front door, and the palace even sent someone!
The eunuch offered incense to Marquis Wuding in front of the spirit, wiped two tears, and remembered Guo Xun's contributions over the years with Madam Marquis Wuding. Mrs. Wudinghou also wept, and the eunuch wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said with a deep meaning: "Mrs. Wudinghou mourn. You are not afraid of shadows. As long as you are loyal, you will not be mistreated."
After hearing these words, Mrs. Wuding Hou seemed to understand something. Sure enough, the next day, the charges of Yongping Marquis and Yongping Marquis Prince were still undetermined, but they were released. The Marquis of Zhenyuan suspended the post of commander in Gansu and was taken back to the capital for questioning.
The death of Guo Xun quickly turned the originally one-sided horse market dispute. Although Yongping Hou and Fu Tingzhou were still guilty, the eunuch's attitude at Wuding Hou's funeral showed that the emperor still recognized Guo Xun's support. .
Besides, where is there any collaborating with the enemy, everything is driven by Xia Wenjin behind the scenes. Yan Wei openly attended the funeral of Marquis Wuding, comforted Guo Xun's widow, and faintly showed signs of challenging Xia Wenjin. After that, Xia Wen wanted to be busy cleaning up the cabinet, so there was no time to take care of the outside world.
When Fu Tingzhou rushed back to the capital, Guo Xun's funeral had been over for a long time. Fu Tingzhou put three incense sticks in front of Guo Xun's tablet and sighed: "Mrs. Wuding condolences, you have to take care of your health."
Mrs. Wudinghou lost her bones in just a few days, and since Guo Xun was jailed, she has never laughed again. After Guo Xun's death, the huge Guo family seemed to have let up all of a sudden, and no longer had the stance of writing and publishing books and Wei Fu Mobi.
Her several sons were ineffective, and the Marquis of Yongping was not used much in the court. Today, only Fu Tingzhou can speak to the Marquis of Wuding. As if in the blink of an eye, the status of the Guo family and the Fu family was reversed. Originally, the Marquis of Zhenyuan was dependent on the Marquis of Wuding.
Mrs. Wuding Hou said in a deadly voice, "I am old, and now I only take care of the family for the Lord Hou, and I can't talk about taking care of yourself. It's you, do you have any plans for rehabilitating it?"
Fu Tingzhou said: "I handed the memorial to the palace. Although I did not see the emperor, the document was not returned. Marquis Wuding has worked hard and made great achievements in these years, and advocated that the horse market is all for the safety of the frontier. of."
Hearing Fu Tingzhou say this, Mrs. Wuding Hou felt relieved. Fu Tingzhou should still have a chance to recover, as long as he can recover, there is still hope for their faction.
The Marquis of Wuding invited Fu Tingzhou to sit down in the main hall and asked, "Why didn't you see Sister Wanqing come with you today?"
Fu Tingzhou said lightly: "She was recuperating at home, and she didn't come because she was afraid of getting sick for her. Madam Guo, is there anything in the matter of Chengjue?"
The Marquis of Wuding sighed: "Those eunuchs who hesitated and refused to give the right words. In my opinion, they still have to manage."
In the past, what the Marquis of Wuding wanted to do, and the eunuchs rushing to sell it, how could anyone dare to corrupt the money of the Guo family? But now Huluo Pingyang has been bullied by dogs, and her son has to search for a way to inherit the title.
Fu Tingzhou said: "Mrs. Guo, don't worry, I will help you to ask. I heard that the body of Marquis Wuding was brought back from Nanzhen Fusi, and Jinyiwei also intervened in this matter?"
"That's right." Mrs. Wuding Hou nodded, "I heard from the eunuch in the palace that the emperor sent Dudu Lu to supervise the cause of Lord Marquis's death, and Dudu Lu was impeached for several days because of this. Unfortunately, in the end, they didn't find out anything."
Fu Tingzhou frowned and pondered, the person who impeached Lu Heng must be Xia Wenjin. In the end, the emperor still settled the case as a disease, indicating that Lu Heng never fought against Xia Wenjin. Fu Tingzhou couldn't say whether he was regretful or disappointed. Lu Heng claimed that he had never been defeated in a fight against others. From this point of view, it was an exaggeration.
Fu Tingzhou suddenly thought of something, and asked, "I remember that on the day of Marquis Wuding's funeral, Mr. Yan Ge came?"
"Yes." Mrs. Wuding Hou nodded, "He also told me a lot of things to take care of. I didn't have much friendship with the Yan family before, but I didn't expect that he would be willing to say a few words when we were in trouble."
Fu Tingzhou squinted slightly, and said to Mrs. Wuding Hou after a while, "Perhaps, Yan Pavilion is always a way."
Fu Tingzhou originally adhered to his grandfather's teaching, and did not give in civil and military affairs. As military generals, they just had to fight good battles and not get too close to civil officials. But after this time, Fu Tingzhou deeply felt how uncomfortable it was that there was no one in the court.
He was far away in Gansu and was dismissed without warning. The decree came too suddenly, he didn't even make follow-up arrangements, and watched the enemy bandits raging outside, but he could do nothing, and the layout of half a year was completely destroyed.
If there are civilian officials in the court to help him speak, at least he will not be powerless to fight back.
The Marquis of Wuding offended the first assistant. As long as Xia Wenjin was still the first assistant, Fu Tingzhou's career would never be stable. This time, he was only temporarily dismissed. If next time, Xia Wenjin deliberately withheld the food shipped to the front line, or deliberately delayed the court reinforcements, what would he do
Fu Tingzhou thought, perhaps, he also needs to find an ally in the cabinet. If there is any change in the future, at least I can remind him.

Lu Heng is now running between the five military governor's mansion and Nanzhen Fusi. He returned to Nanzhen Fusi to deal with the official business accumulated these days, and suddenly received news that Yan Ge was in the palace today to send a green speech to the emperor. By the way, he mentioned A word of Zhenyuanhou.
Later, the emperor announced that Marquis Zhenyuan entered the palace, Marquis Zhenyuan defended himself in front of the imperial court, saying that he was dedicated to serving the country and the people, and that the original intention of Ma Shi was to reduce casualties on the front line, and he had no two minds. The emperor was moved by the words of the Marquis of Zhenyuan and reinstated Fu Tingzhou as the commander-in-chief of Datong.
Qifu is the general soldier in Datong, which means that Fu Tingzhou's hurdle has passed. As long as he can make contributions in Datong, his career will still be bright.
And Datong is an important border town. As long as there is no chaos, it can basically make contributions.
Lu Heng tutted lightly, Fu Tingzhou was lucky too, because of Guo Xun's death, the emperor felt guilty for the faction of Marquis Wuding, and Fu Tingzhou just came forward at this moment and seized the opportunity to get back. It seems that Guo Xun's remaining power will be eaten by Fu Tingzhou in the future.
Fu Tingzhou has been abroad for a few years, and his brain has grown a lot. He knows how to use strength to fight against Xia Wenjin with Yan Wei's hand. Unfortunately, Fu Tingzhou is still not smart enough.
He revived with the help of Yan Wei today, and in the future he will be regarded by everyone as a strict party. It is easy to ask God to send God, but he is involved in the cabinet struggle between Yan Wei and Xia Wenjin. I am afraid it will not be easy to escape in the future.
However, this has nothing to do with Lu Heng. Everyone thought that Lu Heng and Xia Wenjin had lost the fight last time, but it was the exact opposite. Just like the emperor, the really wise hunters never end, they all rely on inciting other prey to fight, and achieve their goals without a single soldier.
Xia Wenjin wins now, but Lu Heng wins in the long run. Lu Heng didn't need to fight Xia Wenjin because Yan Wei would help him fight Xia Wenjin.
He went home to tease his sweet wife and young son, and waited for two years to directly reap the profits, wouldn't it be good
Lu Heng was the first to get the news, and after that, the news of Fu Tingzhou's re-appointment as Datong's commander-in-chief spread to the outside world one after another. When Hong Wanqing heard Fu Tingzhou's reinstatement, she breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that the Marquis of Zhenyuan had landed safely in this storm.
However, the Marquis of Wuding's mansion was severely damaged, and gradually showed a tendency to decline. Hong Wanqing sighed when she thought of her sisters and cousins. She was originally resentful that Fu Tingzhou had neglected her, but now it seems that she is still married to the right person. At least she lived a carefree life, unlike other sisters, who were afraid of falling out of the social circle in the capital.
After Fu Tingzhou was transferred to Datong's general soldier, he soon left for his post. This time, neither Hong Wanqing nor the Chen family dared to stop him, so let him go quickly.
But this time, Fu Tingzhou did not bring Hong Liu. Hong Liu cried so hard that Fu Tingzhou couldn't change his mind. Hong Wanqing watched from the side, and vaguely touched Fu Tingzhou's thoughts.
Wang Yanqing's hometown is in Datong Mansion. Fu Tingzhou did not bring any concubines to Datong. Could it be that he felt that it was his and Wang Yanqing's exclusive memory. He didn't want other women to destroy it
If Hong Wanqing found out about this three years ago, she would definitely be jealous and make a scene, but now that she realizes it, there is no change.
Maybe my mother is right, love is the imagination in the play, after waiting for a long time, the husband and wife are just strangers who live together.
