Chapter 78
Thoughts flashed in the jailer's mind, but he didn't dare to take a closer look. He just glanced and lowered his head, staring at the black and hard blood stains on the corridor. Lu Heng responded lightly and said, "Where's Zhao Huai?"
The jailer became more cautious and said, "As usual, in the cell."
After the jailer finished speaking, he paused and said tentatively, "If the commander wants to interrogate him, will the young man bring him up?"
"No need." Lu Heng walked past the darkened prison door, and the wall lamps on both sides sprinkled on him, half-sleeping, like a magic charm, "Continue to guard the door, no one is allowed to enter without my warrant."
Chapter 29 Questions
When the jailer heard this, he lowered his head and replied, "Yes."
When the people in the prison heard Lu Heng's words, they couldn't stop beating, thinking that Commander Lu was going to move something big. But in fact, they really wronged Lu Heng. At least this time, Lu Heng did not intend to be severely punished.
The imperial prison extends in all directions, and the ghostly atmosphere is full of ghosts. Lu Heng took Wang Yanqing in one direction. Although he didn't speak, it was not difficult to guess that he had arrived at the place where middle and senior officials were being held through the increasingly quiet environment and the spacious cells on both sides. Unconsciously, Wang Yanqing became serious, and his palms clenched tightly.
Finally, Lu Heng stopped in front of a prison door. This is a single room with a small skylight on the wall and a charcoal basin in the corner. It is much cleaner than the cell where Liang Bin was held before, and even the thatch on the ground is much thicker. A man in an inner robe sat under the skylight in a daze, looking at the age of forty and a little bloated. Hearing someone coming, he turned back impatiently, and was obviously startled when he saw Lu Heng.
Immediately, he reacted, the corner of his mouth raised, his expression sarcastic, and he snorted forcefully: "It's you. Wait, Shuzi, what other tricks are there?"
Lu Heng stood in front, and the fire quickly passed over his bright red flying fish suit. The embroidery on it that looked like a python and a dragon looked especially sinister and terrifying, and the eyes like copper bells on his chest seemed to be really staring at people. All Zhao Huai's attention was drawn away by Lu Heng, so he didn't notice that behind Lu Heng, there was a slender and weak figure completely covered by a cloak.
Wang Yanqing crossed Lu Heng's sleeve and carefully examined the people in the prison. Zhao Huai deliberately showed disdain, but the muscles at the corners of his mouth were stiff, and his deliberately raised voice seemed too deliberate. His eyes widened, a fold was drawn in front of his eyelids and eyebrows, and his shoulders and arms were stiff.
Clearly, this is not contempt, but fear. He made a seemingly tough fake expression, but he was actually covering up the fear in his heart.
He was afraid that Jin Yiwei would come to interrogate him, especially that Lu Heng would do something to him.
Judging his true emotions, half of the remaining problems have been solved. His first reaction confirmed Wang Yanqing's guess about him. He was vain, conceited, and had high self-esteem. In fact, his heart was weak and he was greedy for life and fear of death. Such people will never hide huge amounts of stolen money outside.
Wang Yanqing didn't know if Lu Heng saw through Zhao Huai's bravado, but only heard Lu Heng chuckle and said calmly: "Lord Zhao, it's been a long time. You've lived in the prison for so long, and I, the host, have never entertained me. You, it's really rude. Come on, open the door, and I will catch up with Master Zhao."
Zhao Huai gave a cold snort, raised his neck, and looked daring and fearless: "A man stands upright and leads the world, how can he be the same as you? Even if you kill this old man, this old man will never frown."
When Lu Heng spoke, Jin Yiwei's subordinate quickly took out the key and opened the prison door. The subordinate pushed open the prison door with a heavy slam. Lu Heng stopped outside the door with his hands behind his back. He didn't come in or leave. He looked at Zhao Huai calmly and calmly: "Master Zhao has a good backbone. I hope after a while, Master Zhao can also be so tough."
Zhao Huai's expression changed slightly, but he still refused to fall behind. He stood up from the haystack and said awe-inspiringly: "Lu Heng, you murdered Zhongliang and helped Zhou be nüè, and sooner or later you will be punished! Well, the five horses were dismembered and died in a busy city. The Jiang family's property was confiscated, the eldest son was beheaded, and the drawing was used to show the world. The youngest son, wife and daughter are not cheap, but the servants and servants of the hero's family. Jiang Bin's yesterday, how can you know that it is not your tomorrow !"
Lu Heng has been listening with a smile. He is tired of hearing these words. In the past, no matter how fierce others were scolding him, he would only listen to it as a joke, but today, he is a little angry for some reason. Lu Heng stepped into the cell, and his clean soap leather boots fell to the ground, making a rhythmic sound: "Master Zhao is so excited, is it because he is afraid that I will find out the evidence of your collusion with the eunuch, and I will be ruined before me, and my family will be ruined?"
"You!" Zhao Huai glared at Lu Heng, and threw his sleeves forcefully, "Shuzi is arrogant. I, Zhao Huai, are worthy of the sky, and I am not ashamed of others. Yan Rong'er and others framed it? If you don't believe it, just check."
"Master Zhao reminded me, I will definitely investigate to the end." Lu Heng paced slowly and said, "It's almost the end of the year, and the ground is cold. Bring two chairs to Master Zhao."
When Zhao Huai heard this, his face became tense. He thought that the "chair" in Lu Heng's mouth was a torture tool. Lu Heng looked back and saw Zhao Huai's face, and smiled sarcastically: "Master Zhao, you just said righteously, I thought you were really not afraid. Since you have a clear conscience, What are you afraid of now?"
