After Fu Tingzhou had this idea, his heart pounded hard, and he could hardly control the expression on his face.
He suddenly understood Lu Heng's intention. Lu Heng brought Wang Yanqing to the banquet, and borrowed Guo Xun's hand to force Fu Tingzhou to admit his marriage to Hong Wanqing. Wang Yanqing heard with his own ears that he had a "deep love" for another woman. Even if his memory was restored later, he would definitely not stay by Fu Tingzhou's side.
Even if Fu Tingzhou is just acting on the scene. And Lu Heng's request didn't stop there. He pushed Fu Tingzhou to the brink of giving marriage step by step. When the emperor really issued an imperial decree, Fu Tingzhou would have to marry Hong Wanqing no matter what, not even He Li. With Hong Wanqing around, Fu Tingzhou and Wang Yanqing could not reconcile.
Fu Tingzhou sneered, Lu Heng was really calculating. Even Fu Tingzhou suspected that things were not going well for him during this time, and his struggle for military power was frequently blocked, which was also Lu Heng's handwriting.
Fu Tingzhou's eyes darkened and he looked at Lu Heng coldly. For his own selfishness, Lu Heng dressed Wang Yanqing as a man and brought her to the restaurant to show her face. Lu Heng is also just a selfish person who only thinks about himself. How can he say Fu Tingzhou
Since Fu Tingzhou became suspicious, he has been paying attention to the guard outside. It's a pity that the man was standing outside the floor hood, most of his figure was blocked by the vase, and Fu Tingzhou couldn't see it clearly.
Fu Tingzhou was so anxious that he couldn't even deal with the topic on the wine table. Seeing that Fu Tingzhou was paying attention outside, Lu Heng said calmly, "I almost forgot that I brought a jar of wine today and put it in the previous box. Tang Qing, go get the wine."
A young man outside the hood responded vaguely, it was the one who knocked down the thing earlier. He lowered his head, always turned his back to the inside, opened the door and quickly went out.
Fu Tingzhou squinted his eyes secretly, feeling more and more that something was wrong. Lu Heng came in for so long, why did he suddenly remember to get wine? Fu Tingzhou sat down and suddenly stood up and said, "I'm going to change clothes. The three of you will continue. I'm sorry for a moment."
Changing clothes is an elegant name for three urgent needs, and no one can stop him. Fu Tingzhou said his apologies, and after closing the box door, his eyes immediately turned cold, and he quickly chased in the direction where the young man left just now.
After closing the door, the atmosphere in the box was quiet. Guo Xun had found out that Fu Tingzhou was not in his mind for a long time. It seems that after he mentioned marriage, Fu Tingzhou became uneasy. Now, he still uses this excuse to get out. Guo Xun's face also turned cold, and he made an excuse to leave the table. He wanted to see what Fu Tingzhou was playing.
Fu Tingzhou and Guo Xun left one after another, leaving only Lu Heng and Xia Wenjin on the wine table. Lu Heng picked up the wine jug and poured wine for the two of them in a hurry. Xia Wenjin stopped Lu Heng's movements and said, "Lord Lu, it's not as big as you, and I can't drink it anymore. Master Lu, please say something straight. "
Xia Wenjin had an expectant look. Lu Heng came uninvited today, and even made plans to save those two people, isn't it just to talk to him alone? Lu Heng smiled, he put the jug aside, stopped going around in circles, and asked bluntly: "Elder Xia, the pedestrian Si Zheng Xue Kan was imprisoned for making a false statement about the establishment of the reserve, how much does the elder know about this matter? "
He really came for this. Xia Wenjin was expressionless, and said cautiously: "This matter is known to the public, and I have heard a little about it."
"That's good." Lu Heng stared at Xia Wenjin and said, "Not long ago, Xue Kan confessed that he was instructed by Elder Xia Ge when he went to Shushu to set up the reserve."
Xia Wenjin's heart jumped fiercely, did Xue Kan really say that? Or is Lu Heng deceiving him? Xia Wen thought about it, and in the end, he bowed his hands with a solitary face: "The Qing people are self-cleaning, and the loyalty to the emperor is more clear than the sun and the moon. If you don't believe it, you can arrest him, and there will be no words for him. "
Lu Heng glanced over Xia Wenjin, and smiled inexplicably: "Elder Xia doesn't seem to be afraid at all, could it be that there is someone else behind him?"
Xia Wenjin was disdainful and sneered: "I am a lonely minister, and I don't form a party and don't seek selfishness. If there is a master messenger, it is also Confucius and Mencius."
Lu Heng raised his eyebrows and nodded with a smile: "Elder Ge Gaojie, you have been taught. But Zhang Shoufu believes that it is the old order of Xia Ge, why is this?"
"I'm still saying that, I'm just an orphan." Xia Wenjin said, "I've said it all, whether Lord Lu believes it or not, it has nothing to do with me."
Lu Heng's eyes swept across Xia Wenjin inch by inch, with a hint of scrutiny inside. Xia Wenjin held his head up, with an expression that didn't mean anything. Lu Heng clapped his hands and said to Le Ji who was playing a minor key behind the screen: "It's none of your business here, let's go down."
Le Ji stopped, stood up to salute Lu Heng and Xia Wenjin, and left in small steps holding the musical instrument. Xia Wen wanted to see him rejecting the crowd, and thought that Lu Heng had something to say, but after that, Lu Heng went around in circles to test, and there was not much new.
Xia Wen couldn't figure out what Lu Heng wanted to do.
On the other side, the man named Tang Qing pressed his face after going out and hurried downstairs. Fu Tingzhou followed behind and called out "Stop", but the other party didn't stop, but even accelerated when he heard his voice.
Fu Tingzhou was even more suspicious and chased after three steps in two steps. When the other Jinyiwei saw this, they hurriedly stepped forward to stop Fu Tingzhou: "Marquis Zhenyuan, what are you doing?"
Several guards in Jinyi stopped in front of Fu Tingzhou, blocking Fu Tingzhou's way. Fu Tingzhou tried several times but couldn't get past, so he lowered his face and said, "Get out of the way."
"Tang Qing was ordered by Lord Lu to fetch the wine. If the Marquis of Zhenyuan has anything to say, you might as well wait for him to come back."
"Tang Qing?" Fu Tingzhou sneered when he heard the name, and pronounced it exactly the same as Wang Yanqing. I'm afraid Lu Heng came up with this name casually. Fu Tingzhou nodded and said, "Since Mr. Lu has an order, it is not easy for Ben Hou to stop him. Let him come back quickly. Ben Hou has something to ask him."
Fu Tingzhou said and stopped, turned around and walked back. Jin Yiwei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Marquis Zhenyuan."
Before they could finish speaking, Fu Tingzhou suddenly fired a carbine, pushed them away, and rushed through the middle. Jin Yiwei realized the plan, and quickly caught up: "Marquis of Zhenyuan, this is the general banner of Jinyiwei, what are you chasing after our Jinyiwei?"
Fu Tingzhou and Jin Yiwei chased after each other and blocked the other, making a lot of noise. "Tang Qing" heard the voice, picked up his clothes and ran. Seeing his actions, Fu Tingzhou became more and more sure that this was not a man. Fu Tingzhou pushed the crowd away, followed by a few guards in Jinyi with knives. The guys passing by in the attic were so frightened by the battle that they stuck to the wall, afraid to breathe. When the restaurant owner heard that something was wrong, he hurried up to ask, "What's wrong?"
It's a pity that neither Fu Tingzhou nor Jin Yiwei listened to him. Fu Tingzhou chased the slender figure, turned left and right, and suddenly disappeared when he ran to a corridor.
This is the box, the doors on both sides are closed, he must be hiding in one of the rooms. Fu Tingzhou was not afraid of offending people, so he pushed them open one by one to check. The people inside were feasting when suddenly the door was knocked open, and they turned back in shock and anger. Fu Tingzhou ignored the swearing voices behind him, and swept down with a cold face. The restaurant owner was behind him, crying and unlucky, but he had to smile to comfort the disturbed diners.
Fu Tingzhou walked to a door, he noticed that there was a small crack in the door, Fu Tingzhou narrowed his eyes and pushed open the door in front of him suddenly. The wooden door slammed into the door frame and made a loud bang, which was very scary in the silent room. The people inside were taking wine, and when they heard the sound, they turned around and looked at Fu Tingzhou with a look of astonishment.
"Marquis Zhenyuan, what are you doing?"
He is slender and fair-skinned. From the back, he looks like a man and a woman, but when he speaks, it is indeed a man's voice. Fu Tingzhou frowned when he saw this man's face, and immediately searched the rest of the box.
Ruyi Building specializes in the business of dignitaries and nobles. The boxes are elegantly furnished, but there is no space for Tibetans, so it is clear at a glance what is inside.
Fu Tingzhou quickly searched the house, but the private room was empty and there was no sign of Tibetans. Fu Tingzhou frowned. His guess couldn't be wrong. Wang Yanqing wasn't here. Could it be that he was dropped in the middle
The Jinyiweis behind him also followed. When Fu Tingzhou was chasing people just now, they fell a long way for no reason. Now that Fu Tingzhou entered the box, they also caught up one by one. Jin Yiwei surrounded the door, watched Fu Tingzhou turn around in the private room, and asked with a sneer, "Marquis Zhenyuan, this is Lord Lu's box. Are you suspicious of our Lord?"
Fu Tingzhou found nothing, and looked at the young man who was drinking with a bad expression: "If you have a clear conscience, what are you running for when I call you?"
Holding the wine, the young man said innocently, "Master Lu asked me to fetch the wine. I was afraid that Master would be in a hurry, so I ran a few steps quickly."
Jin Yiwei at the door cooed: "The rules of the Marquis of Zhenyuan are too big. Can you control the sky and the earth, and can you control other people's running?"
Fu Tingzhou was robbed and his face was very ugly. But after all, he was the one who got the wrong first. He gave Tang Qing a cold look, and was about to go out when he met Guo Xun in the corridor.
Guo Xun stood at the door, his eyes swept over the group of people, and asked with a cold face, "What are you doing?"
Why did Guo Xun come out? Fu Tingzhou frowned secretly, and said lightly, "Lu Heng's wine is not guarded. I'm afraid that someone will do something in the middle, so come and see."
If you think about it carefully, this excuse is completely untenable. After waiting for the wine to be served, Lu Heng will also drink it. Even if he is poisoned, it will not be so obvious. Guo Xun glanced at the box behind him. He didn't believe it or not.
Fu Tingzhou, Guo Xun, and Tang Qing, who was holding the wine, returned to the box of the Marquis of Wuding. Lu Hengzheng and Xia Wenjin were sitting opposite each other. When they heard the door open, Xia Wenjin stood up and cupped their hands: "Marquis Wuding, forgive me, I can't drink enough, I'm afraid I'll lose my temper if I sit down again. , I had to take one step first. Continue, don't let me disturb Yaxing."
When Guo Xun heard it, he naturally persuaded Xia Wenjin to stay. Guo Xun and Xia Wen exchanged friendly greetings, but as soon as Fu Tingzhou entered the room, his eyes fell on Lu Heng. Lu Heng sat at the table, and after he drank the wine in his glass, he stood up unhurriedly. Lu Heng noticed Fu Tingzhou's sight. His eyes first swept over Tang Qing, who was carrying the wine, and then turned to Fu Tingzhou, nodding his head and smiling.
Fu Tingzhou squinted his eyes, and was quite sure that Lu Heng did it on purpose, but he couldn't understand why Lu Heng lost the bag for a while, so he could only stop it for the time being. Guo Xun persuaded him for a long time, but Xia Wen was determined to leave, Guo Xun had no choice but to let him go.
Lu Heng also saw the opportunity to retire. Lu Heng wanted to leave, but no one could keep him, and Guo Xun didn't want to eat at the same table with an intelligence chief, so he sent Lu Heng out with a few polite words. Xia Wenjin and Lu Heng left one by one, and the box that had just been changing cups was deserted in an instant. Guo Xun came back and saw Lu Heng's jar of wine on the table. He hadn't even opened the wine seal. trouble."
The speaker was unintentional and the listener was intentional, and Fu Tingzhou was awakened instantly. That's right, since Lu Heng was going to leave, why did he ask people to fetch wine before? Thinking back in this way, the timing of the guard knocking something down is also very suspicious. As soon as Fu Tingzhou was suspicious, there was a disturbance outside, and the person who bumped into something happened to be a slender guard with a face like a good woman.
As if it was deliberately attracting Fu Tingzhou's attention and luring him out.
Fu Tingzhou suddenly thought of something, his face changed suddenly, and he walked quickly behind the screen. There was no one behind the screen. Originally, there should have been two women playing the piano.
It's the two Le Jis!
Fu Tingzhou woke up like a dream, yes, there are too many flaws in women's disguise as men, you can see it with a little attention. But if she appeared directly as a woman, no one would be suspicious.
Wang Yanqing was indeed there, but not a woman disguised as a man to infiltrate the guards, but disguised as Le Ji. Wang Yanqing doesn't know how to play the pipa, so that's the one who played the qin just now.
Fu Tingzhou followed his memory and looked at the place where the violin was placed, and he found that the screen in that area was not quite right. From the outside, you can see the shadows and shadows of the people inside, and you can't see clearly, but from the inside, you can clearly see every move outside.
Ruyilou, an ordinary restaurant, would never have the guts to do such a thing. Fu Tingzhou put his fingers on the screen, and sure enough, he felt the traces of splicing.
It seems that it was Lu Heng who knew in advance the time and place of Guo Xun's banquet. He first manipulated the screen here, and then asked Wang Yanqing to pretend to be Le Ji and enter the venue early to play music. Fu Tingzhou, Guo Xun and others can hear the music when they enter the door. They are like the vases on the wooden shelf and the calligraphy and paintings on the walls. They are the decoration of this room. No one will pay too much attention to the decorations.
After that, Lu Heng deliberately put some fake smoke to induce Fu Tingzhou to go out, and then took the opportunity to let Le Ji retreat, and Wang Yanqing could leave quietly. Even those Jin Yiwei chasing and blocking in the restaurant were deliberately done by Lu Heng, the purpose was to intensify Fu Tingzhou's suspicion and delay time for the real Wang Yanqing.
Fu Tingzhou was very remorseful. It turned out that he was only one step away from Qingqing, but he didn't notice it. He hated Lu Heng for being cunning, but in the end, Fu Tingzhou didn't care enough about Wang Yanqing.
If he had known Wang Yanqing more over the years and invested more energy by her side, how could he not hear Wang Yanqing's piano sound? Every time Lu Heng succeeded, it was like a slap in the face of Fu Tingzhou, telling him how much he neglected her.
Fu Tingzhou stopped inside the screen and didn't come out for a long time. Guo Xun noticed something was wrong and asked loudly, "What's wrong?"
Fu Tingzhou was woken up, he quickly calmed down, and walked out from behind the screen with a blank face: "It's okay, I'll take a look."
There is no one behind the screen, what's so beautiful? Guo Xun stared at Fu Tingzhou suspiciously. There was no one else here, and Guo Xun stopped covering it up and asked directly, "Is there something between you and Lu Heng that you are hiding from me?"
Fu Tingzhou flatly denied: "No."
He denied it so quickly, and Guo Xun became more and more unbelievable. Guo Xun said calmly: "That's good. The war is imminent, you should know what is most important?"
Fu Tingzhou clenched his fist tightly and finally said, "I understand."
