Lu Heng's eyes were sincere and enthusiastic, Wang Yanqing seemed to be bewitched, and subconsciously wanted to agree to his words. She paused before asking, "What do you want me to do?"
Lu Heng smiled, pressed Wang Yanqing's hand affectionately, and comforted: "Don't be nervous, I just want you to help me see a few people and identify whether they lied or not. I want to overturn the case set by the commander Chen Du. , you must have full confidence. Would you like to follow me to Baoding and visit the Liang family in person?"
This time Wang Yanqing was really surprised. She just lost her memory, not stupid. Of course she realized that Lu Heng was guiding her. She thought that Lu Heng wanted to use her ability to do something, but unexpectedly, it was only for this case.
Wang Yanqing looked Lu Heng in the eyes and said honestly, "I thought you wouldn't care about such trivial matters."
Lu Heng is the commander of the third grade, and he is a well-known figure in the capital. An ordinary woman's adultery case cannot be handed over to him at all. This case was not convicted or tried by him. He had no need to disobey his superiors for a small person.
Wang Yanqing's eyes were so clear that he could look to the end. Lu Heng looked into her eyes and realized that she had probably misunderstood something. Lu Heng smiled and said, "I'm not as noble as you think, and I've always been too lazy to deal with things that have nothing to do with me. It's just that this case happened to show me, and the flaws are really obvious. Let this kind of fool get his wish, yes The insult to Jin Yiwei, so I only thought about it for two more days. Qingqing, you are really smart, since you have seen through my intentions, then I ask you, are you willing?"
Wang Yanqing sighed slightly and said, "You are my second brother, no matter what your purpose is to help the Liang family's daughter overturn the case, it is enough that you are willing to take action. You let me speak freely in front of you, and similarly, you don't have to tell me Explain your intentions. I trust you."
"Why?" Lu Heng raised his eyebrows, his eyes hidden with inquiry, and looked at her deeply, "Just because I'm your second brother?"
"Since I choose to believe you, I will accept all of you as a human being." Wang Yanqing said, blinking her eyes deliberately, and said with a smile, "Who asked you to bring me home in the first place."
The first time Wang Yanqing saw him, he knew that this man was scheming and shrewd, and he would never give goodwill in vain. Including that tonight he suddenly told her about the Liang family's case, and he had other plans behind it. However, Wang Yanqing was willing to be the knife in his hand.
This is the person she can't forget even with amnesia, how can she reject him
Wang Yanqing didn't want the atmosphere to be too heavy, and deliberately joked to brighten the atmosphere, but Lu Heng just smiled and didn't seem to be pleased. Lu Heng sneered coldly in his heart, he shouldn't have asked that sentence, just stop at Wang Yanqing saying that he believes in him, and let everything stay on the illusion of flowers and affection, isn't it good? Why do you have to ask to wear it, only to lose interest.
Lu Heng didn't let his bad mood affect his expression, he smiled and continued: "Qingqing is willing to help. When your injury is better, I will arrange the procedures and take you to Baoding to see the end of the Liang family. What tricks are you doing? However, it is not appropriate to make a statement until we have the evidence, so we have to change our identities and only go out of the city as a pair of ordinary brothers and sisters. Qingqing, you may be wronged and burdened. "
Wang Yanqing shook his head: "It doesn't matter. Second brother, your career is the most important thing, so what is it for me to be frozen."
The more she said this, the more uncomfortable Lu Heng felt. All her tenderness, consideration, sincerity and trust are based on the fact that he is her adopted brother. What she was looking at now was actually another man.
With a smile on Lu Heng's lips, he touched her hair affectionately, and said, "Okay. But I will tell the palace from Jingde that you should recuperate at home first, and you don't have to worry about travel, everything will be arranged by me. I'll send someone to pick you up when you leave."
Wang Yanqing had no objection, nodded in response, very well-behaved.
Lu Heng said that he was not in a hurry, but after the court dispersed the next day, he went straight to the emperor. Jin Yiwei could face the saint directly, but the eunuch didn't dare to stop him when he saw that it was Lu Heng, and gave a flattering bow: "Master Lu is well. Master Lu, are you here to serve the emperor?"
"Yes." Lu Heng nodded with a smile, "I'm sorry to trouble you."
The eunuch said that he did not dare, and went inside to spread the word. After a while, Zhang Zuo, who was beside the emperor, greeted him personally and said, "Master Lu, please come inside."
After Lu Heng and Zhang Zuo said hello, they walked steadily towards the hall. In the Qianqing Palace, the emperor was meditating on the couch, and Lu Heng saluted the emperor: "I see the emperor, long live the saint."
The emperor responded, still maintaining a meditating posture. Lu Heng observed the emperor's complexion and said, "The sage's complexion is very good today, his face is ruddy, and his breath is steady. It seems that the effect of keeping the elixir is good."
The emperor's expression has always been light, and when he heard this, he finally showed a smile on his face, and said quite proudly: "You can see it too? After taking it, I feel that my body is much lighter, and I don't have the same heart palpitations when I wake up early," Shao Tianshi said. The method of sacrificial offerings is indeed useful."
Lu Heng accompanied the emperor for a discussion. The emperor said he was happy and asked, "What's the matter with you?"
Lu Heng said, "Your Majesty, my minister received a case a few days ago. After thinking about it, I always felt suspicious. I wanted to go out to Beijing to see it for myself."
The emperor and Lu Heng had known each other for more than ten years, and they spoke very casually. The emperor asked, "What case?"
Lu Heng told the emperor again about the case of Liang Wei's step-wife accusing his eldest daughter of adultery. Finally, Lu Heng said: "A sixteen-year-old girl commits adultery during her father's filial piety. It is also human nature to love a woman, and a crime does not lead to death. It would be too harsh to sentence Liang's daughter to death."
The emperor came to the capital at the age of fourteen to ascend the throne. At the beginning, he might not be able to adapt to the conditions. The emperor had been ill for many years, and several times almost passed. During that time, the palace felt that the emperor could not live to twenty. Later, the Taoist priest entered the capital and slowly nursed the emperor's body, and he gradually became tougher. Even so, the emperor was wheezing and coughing, weak and sickly, incomparable to Lu Heng's energetic and energetic body.
It took so long to heal the Taihe, but the Taoist priest did it. They saved the emperor's life, and under the care of the Taoist priests, the emperor's health was getting better and better. Therefore, the emperor did not believe in imperial physicians or Buddhas, but only believed.
Taoism is not as abstinent as Buddhists, and pays attention to generosity, morality, and harmony between yin and yang. The emperor thought about it again. When a girl is old, it is human nature to have a spring heart, so why is it worth shouting and killing? The emperor nodded and said, "Since you feel suspicious, go check it out."
Lu Heng bowed his head in response, and a dark light flashed across his eyes. He didn't mention Chen Yin a word, but he had already filed a complaint to Chen Yin. The emperor is a smart person, and he will definitely investigate what is going on in this case in the future, and naturally he will know that Chen Yin has settled the case. Even if Lu Heng bypassed Chen Yinlai and the emperor's thoughts, the emperor could guess.
This is how Lu Heng and the emperor get along. When dealing with a wise man, never try to manipulate him. Lu Heng clearly showed his thoughts to the emperor, and the emperor saw through it and was willing to tolerate it.
To put it bluntly, it is normal for people to go to high places and water to flow to low places. For these instinctive desires of human nature, the emperor can accept them. What he really can't accept is deception.
Lu Heng achieved his goal and was about to retire when he suddenly heard the emperor ask, "How is the investigation of Zhang Yong and Xiao Jing?"
Lu Heng froze slightly in his heart and said, "This minister is investigating."
The emperor nodded without further comment, as if he just asked casually. But Lu Heng knew that the emperor was impatient.
In half a month at the latest, the emperor will see the results.
After saluting, Lu Heng exited the palace. He walked out of Qianqingmen, and his pace gradually accelerated. When walking to Zuo Shunmen, he bumped into another person head-on.
The eyes of the two crossed each other, and both felt unlucky. But soon, Lu Heng put on his usual thin smile and asked, "Marquis of Zhenyuan."
Fu Tingzhou nodded to Lu Heng, his eyes were deep, and there was a bit of gnashing of teeth when he listened carefully: "Commander Lu is wrong."
Lu Heng now leads the post of commander, and people inside and outside the capital who give face to him call him "commander Lu". Obviously, Fu Tingzhou is not one of those who give face.
When Lu Heng heard Fu Tingzhou's name, he was not angry, but his smile deepened. Lu Heng glanced over Fu Tingzhou's body, meaning he glanced at his arm in confusion, and said, "Nanzhen Fusi has something to do. I'll go first, and I'll chat with Zhenyuan Hou in the future."
Fu Tingzhou stared at him coldly, his eyes were not good. Lu Heng had no pressure under such eyes. He nodded and smiled at Fu Tingzhou, but he really wanted to leave. Lu Heng took two steps, Fu Tingzhou couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and said, "Master Lu."
Lu Heng stopped, did not look back, and said slowly: "Don't dare to be the master of Zhenyuan Hou. I don't know, what else is Zhenyuan Hou?"
"I got some fine wine recently, and I want to invite Mr. Lu to taste it. It's a pity that Mr. Lu's Shenlong can't see the end. I don't know, what is Mr. Lu busy with recently?"
Lu Heng smiled and turned to look at the person behind him. The luxurious and cold sunlight of the Forbidden City shone in his eyes, and the amber eyes became more and more like water, and the waves were floating, making it impossible to see the true expression.
With a flawless smile, Lu Heng said, "What am I doing, the Marquis of Zhenyuan should know."
Fu Tingzhou clenched his fists, and the blue veins on his forearms suddenly stretched. He was provocative, and he was so arrogant that he challenged in front of Fu Tingzhou.
Fu Tingzhou worked too hard, and the wound on his arm hurt again. Fu Tingzhou's face was as cold as iron, and his voice held back his anger: "Commander Lu is just doing things in moderation.
Lu Heng looked at Fu Tingzhou and laughed. He looked up at the high and indifferent sky, then tilted his head and looked at Fu Tingzhou calmly, with just the right amount of doubt and innocence in his tone: "I have been ordered to investigate Zhang Yong and Xiao Jing. The bribery case, Zhenyuan Hou is so indignant, what does it have to do with Zhang Yongxiaojing?"
Fu Tingzhou pursed his thin lips tightly, and the veins on his neck stretched out. Lu Heng ridiculed his opponent and was in a good mood. He didn't think it was enough, so he said sincerely before leaving: "I heard that Mrs. Zhenyuan and Mrs. Yongping are going to have good things soon. Lu is here to congratulate Mr. Zhenyuan for getting what he wanted. It's a pity that the Zhenfu Division has not been able to leave recently. It seems that Lu Mou has no luck with the fine wine of Zhenyuanhou. When Zhenyuanhou gets married in the future, Lu will come to ask for a drink. "
After Lu Heng finished speaking, he nodded to Fu Tingzhou, turned around and left. Fu Tingzhou stood in the solemn and cold Forbidden City, watching Lu Heng go away. The four-clawed flying fish on his body gleamed golden in the sun, and the stinging people's eyes hurt.
Fu Tingzhou's fist clenched tighter and tighter, and the veins on the back of his hand appeared. Fu Tingzhou knew very well that Qingqing would definitely be taken away by Lu Heng. He had been waiting for Lu Heng to open the conditions for the past two days, but Lu Heng was calm and did not move. In the end, Fu Tingzhou couldn't hold his breath, and ran to Lu Heng to ask for the right words. As a result, Lu Heng actually acted stupid.
Fu Tingzhou was angry with Lu Heng by any means, but he was more worried about Wang Yanqing. She is a girl and falls into the hands of someone like Lu Heng. Every time the hourglass is reported, Fu Tingzhou will feel frightened. Fu Tingzhou took a deep breath, the dry and cold air of Beijing poured into his lungs, like a knife, it was painful to shave. He raised his head and looked at the rolling green tiles and Zhu Zhu, his heart seemed to be missing a piece, and the wind kept leaking.
Qingqing, where are you
After Lu Heng came out of the palace, there was an inexplicable smile on his mouth. He greeted the emperor and was ready to go to Baoding to investigate the case. Lu Heng was Jin Yiwei, and it was easy to set up a fake identity for himself. He quickly took care of everything, and took Wang Yanqing out of Beijing one morning to go to Baoding Mansion.
