Chapter 85
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 around and saw Fu Tingzhou walking towards him with a sullen 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 calmed down reluctantly and said, "Master Lu doesn'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, Lu. If you have any conditions, please tell me directly."
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 it was at the peak of the wind. The movements of Fu Tingzhou and Lu Heng would surely disturb others. Even if everyone did not know their conversation, they would inevitably inquire when they went back. Pretend to be dead. Fu Tingzhou wants to use this way of hurting one thousand enemies and eight hundred, and Lu Heng jiāo people.
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 who ignored Qingqing's wishes and went out to give 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.
Die's military power, the ever-expanding 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 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. "
