Jin Yi Kill

Lu Heng knew what she wanted to do when she rushed over, but he didn't expect that Miss Zhao would be so open-minded.

Did she think that as long as she lowered her posture, he would accept it?

Too much to think about.

Lu Heng said slowly: "Miss Zhao, you are the daughter of a servant, and the body of a thousand dollars. How can you do some things to serve others? I am ashamed and dare not be worthy, Miss Zhao, please get up."

Miss Zhao San felt a heavy heart, and he refused. Could it be that the father's case is so serious that even Lu Heng dare not touch it? Or, is he trying to beat her on purpose, deliberately suppressing her?

Miss Zhao San was heartbroken and fought hard again. She grabbed the corner of Lu Heng's clothes, raised her head, and looked at him pleadingly: "I know that I am the daughter of a sinner, and I am not worthy of Lord Lu. The little girl has self-knowledge, and she will never ask for any status, nor will she give it to him. In the future, Mrs. Lu will cause trouble. If there is no shortage of people around Lord Lu to serve, I am willing to be a slave and a maid, and I will also make it possible to be a fire-fighting girl beside the Lord. "

Lu Heng smiled and took a step back. Miss Zhao San felt the delicate cloud brocade fabric slipping from her hand, and her heart twitched. His speed was not fast, but Miss Zhao San had no courage anymore and reached out to grab the cloud.

In just a short time, many people have noticed this. The weak and beautiful lady in distress and the Jin Yiwei who pulled her father down into the abyss have always been hot topics of discussion. In the past, during house raids, there were many examples of criminal ministers and concubines directly taken away by Jin Yiwei. As Lu Heng, he didn't even need to be active. As long as he showed a little bit of meaning, the **** who came to register the head directly Just help him get people off the roster.

Officials are to be handled at the top, and there is one more person and one less person on the list of female relatives, and no one will be held accountable at all. Most of the others felt that Lu Heng was about to close, so they avoided this area when walking. Once Lu Heng nodded, this is Lord Lu's family. The difference between the daughter of a criminal minister and the woman of Lord Lu is like a world.

However, they really misestimated Lu Heng. The emperor personally handed over the task of clearing Zhao Huai to him, and he was about to succeed. If he accepted Zhao Huai's daughter at this juncture, the emperor would not blame him for such a trivial matter, but his evaluation was bound to decline. . No matter how important the emperor's letter is, where do these women have the confidence to compare with his career?

Don't say that Miss Zhao San is only a jasper, even if she grows into a fairy, she can't think of harming his future.

Naturally, such words are too cold-blooded. Lu Heng bowed his head and smiled at Miss Zhao San, saying, "Miss Zhao is full of poetry and books, how can she be a fire-fighting girl? Thank you Miss Zhao for your love, but my sister is recovering from illness and needs to rest. , it is inconvenient to add a maid. Miss Zhao's intentions can only be let down."

After Lu Heng finished speaking, he turned around and left, without the slightest nostalgia for his steps. Jin Yiwei, who was on duty at the back, found that the commander had left the charming and charming Miss Zhao, and was very surprised for a while.

Sure enough, the rumors were right, the commander really didn't like women.

Lu Heng ignored the undercurrents in Zhao's house. His errands had been completed. How these people dealt with them and what fate they would experience had nothing to do with him. As for those boring conjectures, Lu Hengli was too lazy to deal with them.

Only the beast can't control his own desires. He has more important things to do, and love is only an afterthought for him. No matter how beautiful the beauty is, is it better than the monstrous power, the power is in hand?

Lu Heng sneered softly in his heart. Because of Miss Zhao San, he couldn't help but think of another woman. He couldn't help but wonder, what would she do if today's person was replaced by Wang Yanqing?

If it was Wang Yanqing's pitiful face begging him, perhaps Lu Heng would have hesitated a little longer. However, he will never be soft-hearted, and Wang Yanqing will not use his body as a price to beg men.

She will find a way to change, at least reduce Zhao Huai's crime. Zhao Huai is just a pathfinder, a small servant of the Ministry of Rites, where is the emperor and Jinyiwei worth fighting for? If she's smart enough, she knows to climb up and bite.

The evidence presented by Zhao Huai's wife and daughter is convincing enough. The students' families will never frame the teacher, right? If she can really come up with something, the emperor might open the door and spare Zhao Huai's life. If he can't be an official in the future, at least he can return to his hometown to spend his old age in peace.

It is a pity that Wang Yanqing was not born in the Zhao family, and the Zhao family will not have such good fortune.

Lu Heng let out a long sigh, and took a step to the threshold of Zhao's residence. Since then, Zhao Huai, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, has become history in the capital.

Lu Heng went to Nanzhen Fusi to change into court clothes, and rode to the Meridian Gate to wait for the court. Early morning is a physical task, often waiting outside the palace gate at Yin Shi, standing in the cold wind for an hour. Young people couldn't take it, let alone the old and frail old officials, so the emperor built a special court room in Duanmen in order to show his sympathy for his close ministers.

Jin Yiwei had his own room, and Lu Heng went directly to the Youque Gate after dismounting. The other Jin Yiwei in the straight room were already there, and when they saw Lu Heng, they all stood up and saluted: "Master Lu."

With such a big movement last night, everyone in the city knew that Lu Heng had another major case. I just don't know which families were planted in Lu Heng's hands this time.

In the straight room, people are seated according to their grades. People with high official positions have comfortable and spacious seats. Others can only line up at the back. Some people can't line up and can only stand. Standing is not bad, they have an eaves that can shelter from the wind and rain, and the officials outside who are low-ranking and unable to speak can only stand in the cold wind and wait. Now that it is the end of the year, standing in the cold wind in the early morning for an hour is not an easy task.

Lu Heng sat down to drink tea, and when the cup of tea bottomed out, the door of the room was pushed open from the outside, and Chen Yin came. Lu Heng put down the tea cup and stood up to salute Chen Yin: "Chen Du commander."

When Chen Yin saw Lu Heng, the coldness on his face became heavier. He glanced at Lu Heng's clothes lightly, and said, "I heard that Zhao Huai recruited yesterday?"

Lu Heng lowered his eyes and smiled: "Commander Chen Du has really well-informed information. The holy heaven is mighty and powerful, and Zhao Huai's confession is a matter of course."

Chen Yin fixedly glanced at Lu Heng, Lu Heng maintained his smile and remained motionless. Chen Yin was fed a soft nail by Lu Heng. Although he was angry, he couldn't ask any more questions.

What the emperor didn't know, but Chen Yin wanted to take the lead, didn't he think he had a long life?

Chen Yin sat down with a cold face, and Lu Heng took it easy, sitting down on Chen Yin and continuing to drink his tea. Time ticked past, and soon, the time for the court came, and the courtiers in the straight room went to the Meridian Gate one after another. Chen Yin didn't want to look at Lu Heng's face again, he didn't even bother to say a word, he got up suddenly, pushed the door hard and left.

After Chen Yin went out, Lu Heng finally put down the cup of tea he had been drinking for an hour and got up slowly. After he went out, he happened to bump into someone from Hanlin Zhifang. A few high school scholars were humbling me, and when they saw him come out, they all stopped.

Lu Heng took the initiative to greet several elders: "Yang Shoufu, Zhang Cifu, all elders."

When Yang Yingning saw Lu Heng, the smile on his face faded, but he still said calmly: "Commander Lu is wrong. Why didn't I see you in court some time ago?"

Lu Heng was well prepared and said calmly, "I asked the emperor to leave, and went to Baoding to investigate the case. I just came back two days ago. I'm sorry Yang Shoufu is sorry."

Of course, Yang Yingning didn't miss Lu Heng. He wished that Lu Heng wouldn't come back. How could he miss him? What Yang Yingning was worried about was what tricks Lu Heng played in Baoding Mansion, otherwise Zhao Huai had already explained it, why would he suddenly turn back?

Yang Yingning carefully looked at the young man in front of him who was old enough to be his grandson. It was he who underestimated Lu Heng. He thought that it would be foolproof to arrange the capital. Unexpectedly, Lu Heng went to Baoding and broke the game. Although Yang Yingning still doesn't know what Lu Heng has arranged under the seemingly normal investigation schedule of Baoding Mansion.

Lu Heng stretched out his hand to Yang Yingning, looking like a junior who respects the old, loves the young, and is humble and respectful, and said, "Shoufu, it's time to go to court, please."

Yang Yingning was enough to be Lu Heng's elder no matter his age or seniority. Zhang Jinggong followed, Lu Heng saw Zhang Jinggong, his smile deepened, and he still said gently and politely: "I've seen Zhang Cifu, Sir Cifu please come first."

Zhang Jinggong stared at Lu Heng with an inexplicable look, and then walked away. After Lu Heng sent the elders away one by one, he slowly retracted his hand and walked towards the Meridian Gate.

Officials were already standing on both sides of the imperial road, and the official uniforms of dark purple, vermilion, and indigo were mixed together, like a big overturned dye dish. As Lu Heng walked step by step, the officials who were whispering on both sides stopped, then lowered their hands to avoid them, and silently separated a path.

Civil servants are on the left, military attachés are on the right, and Xunqi ranks slightly ahead of military attachés. After Lu Heng stood in his place, he raised his eyes a little and noticed that not far away, Fu Tingzhou was staring at him gloomily, looking so eager to tear Lu Heng's body into ten thousand pieces. Lu Heng thought of Qingqing, who was still sleeping at his house at the moment, specially met Fu Tingzhou's gaze, raised his eyebrows and smiled at him.

Fu Tingzhou saw Lu Heng's provocative smile in Zhang Yang, his fists clenched. If he hadn't been in court at the moment, he would have wanted to punch him in the face.

However, the angrier Fu Tingzhou became, the happier Lu Heng became. He hadn't slept all night, but he didn't show any signs of fatigue. Instead, he was in high spirits, and the corners of his eyes and his brows could not be restrained.

The sound of drums came from the Wufeng Tower, and the officials stepped into the Yemen in order. Everyone stopped at the south of the Jinshui Bridge, no one dared to move now, and Fu Tingzhou no longer stared at Lu Heng. Everyone held their breaths, kept their demeanor, and waited for the holy drive.

Whips came from the front, and the civil and military officials crossed the bridge respectively, and they were in the east and west classes. They waited for a while, the bells and drums played music, and the emperor arrived at Fengtianmen and took his seat. After the whip was blown again, the long singing voice of Honglu Temple sounded: "Enter the class."

Lu Heng walked into the imperial road with the crowd, and bowed to the bright yellow figure hidden above the heavy umbrellas and fans: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

After the ceremony was over, the morning ceremony really started. Honglu Temple reported to the officials who thanked them as usual, but the emperor was too lazy to meet them one by one, so he sent the officials to go outside the Meridian Gate to pay homage. Immediately after the border declaration, it is now the end of the year, and it is necessary to guard against border troubles.

Tribute to the sergeant. This is the real highlight of the previous dynasty.

Today's presentation was extremely depressing. The officials were playing the morning congratulations. Although the ministers were listening, their eyes kept wandering in the direction of Lu Heng. When the officials of the Ministry of Personnel finished the performance, Lu Heng came out and said, "I have something to do."

No one looked around, but all the attention of the audience was on Lu Heng. In the first song, the long **** sang: "Biography."

Lu Heng stepped forward, saluted, and said, "Zhao Huai, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, confessed that he had accepted Zhang Yong and Xiao Jing as bribes for his own personal gain. The minister had found 5,000 taels of gold and 10,000 taels of silver in Zhao Huai's house last night. The farm has a total of 2,500 acres."

After Lu Heng finished speaking, the wind seemed to be quiet. Immediately, the emperor's voice came from above: "Can this matter be serious?"

Lu Heng presented the document in his sleeve and said, "This is the list of Zhao Huai's corruption compiled by the minister, please take a look at it."

The **** ran down from the imperial platform, took the memorial from Lu Heng, and sent his hands to it. The emperor took it, looked at it for a while, and when he closed it, his face was full of anger: "Zhao Huai, as a third-rank officer, dares to embezzle and bend the law, collude with eunuchs, and occupy farmland, this is completely disregarding the rules of his ancestors. what."

Emperor Hongwu hated officials the most in his life. He hated landlords, corrupt officials, and eunuchs, and he clearly ordered eunuchs not to participate in politics. The things found in Zhao Huai's house are certainly not few for the officials in the court, but they are not too many to be surprising, but the emperor convicted Zhao Huai as soon as he opened his mouth.

The officials in the audience were awe-inspiring, and they all understood that the emperor set the tone so high, it was going to be a big deal. After a brief silence, there was a cough in the civil service class, Zhang Jinggong stepped out, cupped his hands, and said, "Your Majesty, Zhao Huai is the servant of the Ministry of Rites, neither in charge nor in power. Someone ordered."

The words caused a thousand waves, and after Zhang Jinggong started, other civil servants also fired one after another, and the smell of gunpowder immediately became strong. But these have nothing to do with Lu Heng. He slowly walked back to his position, with a solemn look and a respectful face, his heart was already awake.

He understands his role very well. He is a knife, responsible for solving problems for the emperor, and throwing out the charges when the emperor needs them. As for how the charges are determined and who is convicted, it is up to Zhang Jinggong.

Lu Heng casually listened to the scolding in the second half. This group of civil servants can really scold, standing in the cold wind and scolding for half an hour, they don't even feel thirsty. Finally, the emperor's patience also reached the limit, he sank his face, and the speaker, who was scolding in a daze, quickly closed his voice and returned to the queue. The inner servant stepped forward and sang: "If you have something to play, if you have nothing to go back to the court."

No one answered, and the early morning finally came to an end. The officials of Honglu Temple sang "the service is over", and the crisp sound of the whip came, and the emperor got up and drove back to the palace. After the holy chariot left, the civil and military officials quietly breathed a sigh of relief and walked out one after another.

The huge queue spread out and gradually became small groups in twos and threes. Lu Heng turned around and only took two steps when he was stopped by a voice behind him: "Lord Lu."

Lu Heng turned back and saw Fu Tingzhou walking towards him with a gloomy face. The corner of Lu Heng's mouth twitched into a faint smile and asked, "Is there something wrong with Marquis Zhenyuan?"

Fu Tingzhou stopped in front of Lu Heng, didn't even bother to show his face, and asked directly, "Master Lu has nothing to say to me?"

Lu Heng asked with a smile, "What does the Marquis of Zhenyuan want to hear?"

Still pretending to be stupid, Fu Tingzhou took a deep breath and asked as calmly as possible: "Yue Yue's sister was attacked and disappeared in the western suburbs. It has been 16 days now, her whereabouts are unknown, and there is no news. Master Lu's hands and eyes are open to the sky, I don't know if Master Lu has any News from my sister?"

He finally made up his mind. Lu Heng sneered in his heart, and met Fu Tingzhou's gaze innocently and fearlessly: "Old Marquis Fu has three descendants and four granddaughters. Some time ago, Miss Fu's family went out to keep things, and they all seemed to be there. I really don't know what the Marquis of Zhenyuan was referring to. Which sister is that?"

Fu Tingzhou couldn't bear it any longer and said with a sullen face, "Lu Heng!"

Still in the palace now, surrounded by officials from the scattered dynasty, Fu Tingzhou sternly called Lu Heng's name, which immediately attracted a lot of attention. Lu Heng's smile remained unchanged, and with the eyes of many people looking at him, he calmly looked at Fu Tingzhou: "Marquis Zhenyuan, this is the palace, I advise you to pay attention."

Fu Tingzhou took a deep breath and warned himself that he couldn't mess himself up, and Qingqing was still waiting for him to save him. Fu Tingzhou reluctantly calmed down and said, "Lord Lu don't have to pretend to be confused with me. You and I know what happened that day. Isn't Master Lu just waiting for this day? Be patient for Master Lu, Master Lu. If you have any conditions, just say it."

In fact, these words should not be said in public, and this is the palace, and the eyes of the emperor are everywhere, and the slightest carelessness will cause trouble. But Fu Tingzhou didn't, he wanted to show off with Lu Heng in such a place. Lu Heng had just finished a major case and was at the cusp of the storm. The movements of Fu Tingzhou and Lu Heng would surely disturb others. Even if everyone didn't know the conversation between the two of them, they would inevitably inquire when they went back. Lu Heng couldn't pretend to be dead any more. down. Fu Tingzhou wanted to force Lu Heng to surrender in this way of hurting the enemy by one thousand and losing eight hundred by himself.

It's been sixteen days, and Fu Tingzhou is restless, he can't bear it for a quarter of an hour. He went against the admonition of Marquis Wuding and publicly challenged Lu Heng. He was no longer able to calculate the gains and losses, as long as Qingqing could come back, the conditions would be left open by Lu Heng.

Fu Tingzhou hated Lu Heng, but even more hated himself at the beginning of the month. If he could go back to the past, he would definitely beat himself up for ignoring Qingqing's wishes and forcing Qingqing to go out and offer incense. Why did he sit and watch the people in the Hou Mansion neglect Qingqing, why did he agree with his mother's words, and why did he forget Qingqing's birthday? If he didn't go out of the city for incense that day, but accompanied Qingqing on her birthday, nothing would happen now, and Qingqing would still stay with him to prepare for the New Year with him.

The overlapping military powers, the ever-expanding grand ceremony, the increasingly fierce struggle between the first assistant and the second assistant... The turmoil became more and more dangerous. In order to maintain the balance of the Zhenyuan Houfu, Fu Tingzhou was exhausted during this period of time. But after returning to the mansion, looking around, there was no one in the huge Hou mansion who could listen to him. If Qingqing is still there...

However, she is gone. All of this is thanks to Lu Heng.

Fu Tingzhou has been terrified these days. Every day he reminds himself to be careful of Lu Heng, but until nightfall, Lu Heng did not move. Fu Tingzhou felt a huge disappointment in his heart, and he realized that he was expecting Lu Heng to threaten him.

Now Fu Tingzhou only wants Qingqing to come back alive. Even if Lu Heng lion opened his mouth, he recognized it.

Fu Tingzhou was living in torment every day, but Lu Heng actually lived happily and the sky was rising. The comparison between the two sides is really annoying.

Fu Tingzhou thought that Lu Heng, such a greedy person, should take a stand after hearing that he had retreated. This is not a place to talk, as long as Lu Heng shows a little bit of meaning, they can talk in private. But Fu Tingzhou saw that Lu Heng's smile faded, and a sharp edge quickly flashed across his eyes.

Fu Tingzhou was surprised, he thought he was wrong. Lu Heng always had a fake smile wherever he was. Fu Tingzhou was disgusted, but he actually saw displeasure on Lu Heng's face just now?

Fu Tingzhou was shocked, is this still Lu Heng? However, Lu Heng's expression fluctuated only for a moment, and he quickly returned to normal, and said with a warm smile: "Zhenyuan Hou Simei is very eager, and I am very moved. However, with the four young ladies of the Fu family, I really don't know what Zhenyuan Hou is talking about. "

Fu Tingzhou looked at this actor coldly. Fu Tingzhou snorted lightly and said, "It's my foster sister."

"Oh, there is actually an adopted daughter in Zhenyuan Hou's mansion." Lu Heng showed a sudden realization and said, "Zhenyuan Hou, don't worry, I will let my subordinates pay attention. If there is news of Miss Fu, I will send someone to remind it as soon as possible. Marquis of Zhenyuan."

Lu Heng thought to himself, he was talking about Miss Fu, but not Wang Yanqing. He is really an honest, kind and good man who doesn't even tell lies.

This development is very different from Fu Tingzhou's idea. He wants to say it again, and there is a cough next to him. Fu Tingzhou and Lu Heng turned around and saw a red-clothed **** standing not far away.

The author says:

Miss Zhao San: Is the emperor more important or beauty?

Lu Heng: Emperor.
