Wang Yanqing inexplicably felt that this voice was very familiar. She lost her memory, so she should not have such a big reaction. Wang Yanqing stared at the direction from which the voice came, pursed her lips, and remained silent.
Even though she was curious, she did not lift the curtain. Daming has strict etiquette, especially this is the capital, the most disciplined place. As a female family member, she has no reason to open the curtain casually on the street. Besides, she didn't know her friend or foe, so she couldn't show her face rashly for safety, so as not to cause trouble to her second brother.
Although Fu Tingzhou spoke to Lu Heng, Yu Guang kept paying attention to the carriage. However, after he finished speaking, there was no extra movement inside, and Fu Tingzhou couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Lu Heng smiled uncharacteristically. He restrained the somewhat restless horse and nodded to Fu Tingzhou lightly: "So it's the Marquis of Zhenyuan. Marquis Zhenyuan isn't training in the military division. What are you doing here?"
When Wang Yanqing heard the name in the carriage, his pupils dilated slightly, and the surprise became clear again. It turned out to be him, it turned out that this was Fu Tingzhou, the Hou of Zhenyuan. No wonder she felt familiar, the voice of the enemy, she naturally lost her memory and remembered it.
It was no coincidence that Fu Tingzhou appeared here. Qingqing has been missing for almost half a month. These days, Fu Tingzhou doesn't think about tea, can't sleep at night, and the culprit, Lu Heng, first filed a black case with his immediate boss, and then swaggered to Baoding to investigate the case. Fu Tingzhou didn't believe that Lu Heng would care about a small case outside the country. Even if Lu Heng really suddenly found out that he planned to avenge the people, a very simple case of adultery, he stayed in Baoding Mansion for almost ten days.
Fu Tingzhou really disliked Lu Heng, but he still acknowledged Lu Heng's ability to do things. He is considered a genius in criminal investigation. Whether it is murder, money-seeking, tracing or infighting in the court, as long as it is handed over to him, he can solve the case. It was also because of this that the emperor trusted him so much that he would let Lu Heng investigate anything.
With Lu Heng's ability, does it take so long to investigate an ordinary murder case? Anyway, Fu Tingzhou didn't believe it. The first assistant student was still locked up in the prison, but Lu Heng went to Baoding at this juncture to investigate an unimportant small case, and it took nearly ten days to leave. Fu Tingzhou couldn't help but be suspicious, especially not long ago, Qingqing was suspected of being kidnapped by Lu Heng.
The timing was so coincidental that Fu Tingzhou couldn't think about it.
Fu Tingzhou looked at Lu Heng secretly, and did not hide the target in his words: "Master Lu has been gone for a long time. I don't know what major case happened in other places, so I bothered Master Lu to go out in person?"
"I don't dare to do it." Lu Heng noticed Fu Tingzhou's gaze, and his smile deepened, "I'm just sharing your worries for the king and avenging the people's grievances. I'm not as important as the Duke of Zhenyuan. I have other errands, and I don't have time to delay outside, I don't know, Is there anything else, Marquis Zhenyuan?"
Lu Heng pretended not to know, and Fu Tingzhou was no longer polite. He directly put his eyes on the carriage and asked, "Lord Lu used to care about speed in investigating cases. Why did you bring a carriage this time?"
Lu Heng calmly said with a smile: "This is a family member of the Lu family, and the Marquis of Zhenyuan laughed."
"Internal relatives?" Fu Tingzhou sneered and said aggressively, "Master Lu is famous for his pure heart and few desires, and he is not close to women. How can I not know, when did Lord Lu have a domestic relative?"
"There are a lot of things that Marquis Zhenyuan doesn't know. It seems that Lu Mou's private affairs don't need to be disclosed to Marquis Zhenyuan one by one."
Fu Tingzhou squinted his eyes and instinctively told him that there was something strange in this carriage. If he missed it, he would regret it for the rest of his life. Fu Tingzhou said indifferently: "It turned out to be Lord Lu's family member. Ashamed to say, Lord Lu is only two years older than me, but he is my senior in the official circle. I have admired Lord Lu for a long time. I wonder if I will have the opportunity to visit Mrs.-in-law today? "
After Fu Tingzhou finished speaking, he found that Lu Heng looked at him and smiled again. Lu Heng's smile is definitely not a good thing. Fu Tingzhou was horrified by this kind of sight, and there was a sense of offended anger in his heart. Fu Tingzhou sank his face and said coldly, "What does Commander Lu mean?"
When Lu Heng heard that Fu Tingzhou called her "Mrs. Sister-in-law", he felt very comfortable and overjoyed. Lu Heng's eyes were bright and lustrous, he looked at Fu Tingzhou leisurely, and said with an indescribable smile: "I accept the kindness of Marquis Zhenyuan, but today Lu has other business and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, so I will visit another day. Let’s talk about it again. Don’t worry, Marquis Zhenyuan, there will always be a chance to see you in the future, and when Marquis Zhenyuan gets married, I will bring her to the door in person and toast the two of you with a glass of wedding wine.”
"If Lu Yanshi likes to drink, I'll let someone prepare old wine. It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day, why not today?"
Lu Heng looked at him, the light in his eyes was dark and deep, and he continued: "Why, the Marquis of Zhenyuan still wants to forcibly break into the Lu family's carriage?"
Fu Tingzhou stared at Lu Heng coldly, and Lu Heng always smiled and looked at Fu Tingzhou calmly. To offend Jin Yiwei's family at the foot of the capital, he really didn't want to live. Fu Tingzhou finally took a step back and said, "Don't dare. I'm so impatient. I want to congratulate Mr. Lu too much. If you're offended, please ask Haihan."
The people who went to the city gate have returned, and the city gate guard has cleared a way, and Lu Heng and others can enter the city. Lu Heng sat high on the horse, his fingers loosely wrapped the reins, and said, "The young man of Zhenyuan Hou is successful, but in officialdom, going too fast may not be a good thing, Zhenyuan Hou better find time to settle down. Lu Mou takes a step first. , farewell."
Lu Heng nodded at Fu Tingzhou from a high place, then turned his horse's head mercilessly and walked towards the city gate. Chen Yuxuan hurriedly clasped his fists at Fu Tingzhou, and hurried to catch up, followed by the carriage and his entourage.
Lu Heng said that others were young and arrogant, but it was a joke. Fu Tingzhou sat on the horse and didn't move, watching Lu Heng's team pass by in front of him. When the carriage passed by, Fu Tingzhou stared at the curtain closely, not letting go of the slightest change. However, the curtains were still hanging quietly, and there was no unusual movement even in the carriage.
Fu Tingzhou frowned. Could it be that he guessed wrong and Qingqing wasn't there? He was not reconciled, turned around and said loudly to the carriage: "In Fu Tingzhou, say hello to Madam and Miss."
Fu Tingzhou thought that even if Qingqing was controlled by their people, after hearing his voice, why should he act. If there was any fight or cry for help in the carriage, even if he tried to offend the emperor, he would hijack the car to save people. However, the carriage just passed by quietly, just like a real inner house driver. It didn't speak or show up when encountering an outsider, and there was no response from beginning to end.
Fu Tingzhou's voice was not low, and many people heard it. The Jin Yiwei in the team looked displeased. Chen Yuxuan also looked back and said to Lu Heng in a low voice, "Commander, what is the Marquis of Zhenyuan trying to do? It's too much to offend the female family's carriage several times."
Lu Heng heard it too, he sarcastically curled the corner of his lower lip, and said lightly, "Don't worry about him, just a clown jumping on the beam."
In the past, when Lu Heng returned from business trips, he went directly to the guardhouse, but today he brought Wang Yanqing with him. He asked Chen Yuxuan to bring the file back to the Nanzhen Fusi, but he turned around and sent Wang Yanqing home first.
The servants quickly removed the threshold, and the carriage drove into the Lu Mansion and stopped in front of the second gate. Wang Yanqing didn't need the support of the maids, she carried her skirt and got off the carriage. As soon as she saw Lu Heng, she frowned tightly and said complainingly, "Second brother, you are right, that person is indeed despicable and frivolous."
This is the inner courtyard of the Lu family, so there is no need to worry about being heard and seen, so Wang Yanqing no longer hides it, and directly expresses his dislike for Fu Tingzhou. Lu Heng clearly heard it, but he pretended not to know, and deliberately asked, "Who are you talking about?"
"Who else could it be?" Wang Yanqing walked up to Lu Heng angrily, scolding as he walked, "Of course it's Thief Fu. How can anyone look at other people's daughters at the gate of the city? You have clearly refused, but he actually Don't hold back, and talk to me when my carriage passes by. I took care of my second brother's face and endured it. If there is another time, I will never forgive this thief. "
Lu Heng was in a desperate mood, and pretended to persuade Wang Yanqing: "He acts like this, Qingqing, don't be angry. He didn't see you today, so he's not crazy. When he sees you in the future, he will definitely It's even more ugly. In the future, he will talk nonsense, Qingqing, don't believe him. "
Wang Yanqing nodded. It turned out that when the second brother said that Fu Tingzhou would stalk her as soon as he saw her, she didn't quite believe it, thinking that the second brother was exaggerating. I didn't expect to see it today, this is actually true. When Lu Heng and Fu Tingzhou were talking, Wang Yanqing also heard it. She thought of her second brother congratulating Fu Tingzhou on her new marriage, and asked strangely, "Second brother, he is getting married?"
Lu Heng did not mention that Fu Tingzhou was filial piety to his grandfather.
Wang Yanqing became more and more annoyed after hearing this: "Then he is still entangled?"
"That's right, so he wants to enjoy the blessings of all the people and ask you to go back to be a concubine." Lu Heng admires himself, he is really a talent for making up lies, and the timing and logic of this set of rhetoric are consistent, even Fu Tingzhou response can also be explained. Fu Tingzhou is not a fool. Lu Heng knew that Wang Yanqing and Fu Tingzhou could not be prevented from meeting, so he simply slandered Fu Tingzhou's image first. After his credibility completely collapsed with Wang Yanqing, even if Fu Tingzhou produced more evidence to prove that he was Wang Yanqing's supporter. Brother, Wang Yanqing won't believe it anymore.
Lu Heng sighed inwardly for a while, then clenched Wang Yanqing's hand and said, "Don't think about him. You must be tired after driving all day, go back and rest for a while. I'll take a look at Nanzhen Fusi first and wait. Come back with you tonight."
Wang Yanqing nodded, took back his hand obediently, and watched Lu Heng leave: "Second brother, go get busy. Be careful on the road and come back early."
Lu Heng walked a long way, and when he turned back, he could see a gleaming white shadow standing under the corridor, and he waved at him after sensing his sight. Lu Heng smiled lightly, turned around, and strode out.
After Lu Heng arrived at Nanzhen Fusi, the people inside were going crazy. As soon as Guo Tao saw Lu Heng, he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly greeted him: "Commander, you are finally back. Today, the First Assistant sent someone to put pressure on him again. Zhao Huai still refuses to say, what should I do?"
"What about the others, did you get any useful information?"
Guo Tao quickly cut down and refined his experience during this period and reported it to Lu Heng. Lu Heng strode past Nanzhen Fusi, and when Guo Tao finished his report, Lu Heng also walked to the palace where he worked: "Zhao Huai is not a courageous person, he dares to be so provocative, most of them have been passed on to him. Exactly. Oh, they all have a lot of backbone, but if they want to be famous, they have to see if I allow it."
"Commander, what are we going to do next?"
"Don't do anything, keep it as it is."
Guo Tao was stunned, and almost didn't follow Lu Heng's footsteps: "What?"
Lu Heng took off his robe, sat on the seat, and impatiently loosened the armor on his sleeves: "Everything remains the same, starve him when he needs to be hungry, and scare him when he needs to be frightened. , He must think that we only have these few tricks, and we can do it over and over again. It can be seen that there is no way to take him. The more you intimidate him, the more proud he may be, and the more arrogant he will be let him go."
Guo Tao frowned, thinking to himself, what kind of new way to torture people? Guo Tao asked tentatively, "Let him be arrogant, then what?"
Lu Heng put down his sleeves and looked at Guo Tao with a pair of amber eyes, "Then, we can slaughter the fat sheep."
Guo Tao saw that Lu Heng looked like he was going to win, and the stone in his heart finally fell. If the commander said this, then there must be a way. Guo Tao stopped worrying and made arrangements after clenching his fists. He was just two steps away when Lu Heng stopped him: "Collect a copy of the information on the few people in the prison, and give it to me at the end of the day. The main thing is to organize Zhao Huai."
Guo Tao stopped and looked at Lu Heng in surprise. The details of Zhao Huai and the others' commanders could not be more clear, why do they still need to read written materials? And Lu Heng glanced at him again and secretly increased his tone: "Why don't you go quickly?"
Guo Tao woke up like a dream, and quickly responded. Taking into account the time spent on the road and the time spent in Baoding Mansion, Lu Heng left Beijing for nine days. Nine days may not be long, but in a troubled place like Jinyiwei, it is enough to accumulate a lot of official business.
Lu Heng was picking out important documents to handle, even if he was fast, when he regained his senses, it was already dark outside. The biographies of Zhao Huai and others have been sent, and Lu Heng glanced at it, picked out the parts that were not suitable for Wang Yanqing to see, and burned them with a candle. He burned a dozen pages and was finally satisfied. Lu Heng flipped through the rest of the official documents, it would be okay to delay for a few days, so he closed the file with peace of mind and walked outside the house.
When Lu Heng went out, the people in Nanzhen Fusi wondered why the commander left so early today. Lu Heng ignored the prying eyes, took his horse from the stable, and walked back to the house in the dark.
After Lu Heng returned to the mansion, the main courtyard was indeed lit. This time he didn't make a fuss and walked straight to the light.
Wang Yanqing took a nap after coming back in the afternoon. After getting up, he took a shower and changed his clothes. He was full of energy. She had no appetite herself, so she sat in the room and waited for Lu Heng to eat together. When she heard movement outside, she immediately put down her things, got up and walked to the door.
Just as Lu Heng approached, he happened to see Wang Yanqing holding a lamp and lifting the curtains out of the room: "Second brother, you are back."
