Chapter 30
The night was dark and windy, and Nanzhen Fusi suddenly became lively. Searching homes is something everyone likes to do, and Nanzhen Fusi quickly gathered his staff. Lu Heng was walking in the fire-filled government office and said to Wang Yanqing beside him, "Qingqing, the house raiding scene will be very chaotic. If you don't toss for a night, I'm afraid it won't be over. You are still recovering from illness, so go back first."
Wang Yanqing was embarrassed to hear this. They knew exactly what Lu Heng meant by recuperation.
Some time ago, because of Yue Xin, Wang Yanqing's work and rest was strictly controlled by Lu Heng, not sleeping too late, not drinking cold water, or eating too little. Now that her monthly letter has ended, she can finally relax for a while, and Lu Heng starts to control the next cycle.
Wang Yanqing glanced around quickly. Fortunately, the people around were in a hurry and did not notice the conversation between Wang Yanqing and Lu Heng.
Wang Yanqing was very moved by the second brother's concern for her, but he was too concerned.
Wang Yanqing lowered his hood, coughed lowly, and said, "Second brother, I'm fine."
But Lu Heng shook his head: "You can't be sloppy. I'll send someone... Forget it, it's not too far to go directly, I'll take you back."
Wang Yanqing was startled: "Second brother, you still have to find something..."
"You have already asked for the location, the gold and silver jewelry is there, and you can't run away." Lu Heng stopped Wang Yanqing's words, and his tone was very firm, "I will take you home."
Jin Yiwei's manpower is almost assembled, and they can leave only after Lu Heng speaks. However, Lu Heng called Guo Tao, and after a few words, he asked Guo Tao to take someone to go first, and he sent Wang Yanqing home, and then he arrived.
Guo Tao glanced at Wang Yanqing in surprise after hearing this, and quickly lowered his head after realizing the rudeness, for fear of breaking the taboo of the commander. Jin Yiwei was used to doing things like raiding homes, and Guo Tao could handle it with his people. Guo Tao was just an accident. Commander Lu, who was the most keen on hacking and taking credit, would actually give the credit to others.
Lu Heng ignored those scrutinizing or probing gazes, tightened Wang Yanqing's cloak, and took her away first. Lu Heng insisted on letting Wang Yanqing go home. On the one hand, her body was in urgent need of recuperation. After spending a night in the cold wind, all her previous efforts were wasted; on the other hand, she did not want her to see his dark side.
Jinyiwei has a good reputation, but it is difficult for those who have not really experienced it to imagine how dirty the knife known as the bloodiest in the Ming Dynasty is.
Up to now, Wang Yanqing's view of Lu Heng is still positive. Although he is sometimes violent, he is generally a good person. She didn't see any of these things Lu Heng really did, such as confession, interrogation, court stick, house raiding. Lu Heng didn't care about the strangeness that flashed in his heart, he obeyed his inner thoughts and sent Wang Yanqing away first, and then went to search the house. Zhao Huai's money and Luheng don't care, but if Wang Yanqing sees through his character in advance, and then suspects him and delays the plan to kill Fu Tingzhou later, it will not be worth the gain.
With this idea in mind, Lu Heng should send Wang Yanqing back to Lu Mansion. As for why he didn't send someone to escort him... Because this is the capital, and Fu Tingzhou is watching, what if Fu Tingzhou takes Wang Yanqing away while he is not prepared?
This possibility has to be guarded against. That idiot, Fu Tingzhou, can do anything in a hurry.
The Lu Mansion was a mansion purchased by the Lu Heng family after they moved to the capital. It was not far from the Nanzhen Fusi. Lu Heng and Wang Yanqing rode on horses and soon saw the gate of the Lu Mansion. Lu Heng dismounted and wanted to take Wang Yanqing in himself, but was stopped by Wang Yanqing: "Second brother, your business is important, go find what Zhao Huai has hidden. It's just two steps away, I'll go in by myself."
Lu Heng glanced at Lingxi Lingluan behind him, no longer insisted, nodded and said, "Okay, after you go back to the house, drink a bowl of ginger tea, go to sleep when your body warms up, don't wait for me."
Lu Heng's words were directed at Wang Yanqing, but they were not addressed to Wang Yanqing at all. Lingxi Lingluan bowed her head and silently responded to the commander's words. Lu Heng said a few more words, and saw Wang Yanqing enter the gate with his own eyes, so he turned around and mounted. He held the reins at will, and the black horse, like a human being, immediately let go of its hooves and quickly ran in the other direction.
It was a sleepless night for many. It was even more cold and heavy, and the huge capital was shrouded in darkness, as silent as a cemetery. In this dead silence, the sound of horses' hooves swept across the street, awakening the whole place from a dream. Many people hurriedly put on their clothes and got up, and across the heavy night, they only saw the fire on the house of Zhao Huai, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, like a dragon, which lasted for a long time.
The people of the Zhao family heard Jin Yiwei calling the door in the night, and they opened the door with trepidation, but Jin Yiwei pushed them away before they had time to ask questions. The Jinyiwei infantry quickly guarded the gates of Zhao's house, and the Zhao family hid behind, shouting angrily and helplessly: "This is the mansion of the Minister of Rites, what are you doing?"
But no matter how angry he was, it was useless, he could only watch these human-faced devils rush in, rummaging through boxes.
Outside the mansion, a dark horse stopped unhurriedly in front of the main entrance. He was wearing a crimson flying fish suit inside and a pure black cloak on the outside. The large area of red and black collided, making it thick and glam in the night. Holding the long knife, Guo Tao quickly ran to the steps and clasped his fists at the person on the horse: "Commander, the study has been fenced off. The Zhao family is all in the house, and none of them ran away."
