The Imperial Guard’s Revenge

Yan Wei considered the pros and cons, and finally said cautiously: "The emperor has simplified the rest of the itinerary on the eighteenth day. If you stay for a while, it should be fine."

Zhang Jingong's face darkened, and he asked again, "In your opinion, how many days can it be delayed at most?"

Yan Weihan was about to come down, which made him offend people no matter what he said or did. In the stagnation, Lu Heng took the initiative to clasp his fists and said: "I remember that in Sir Yan's original plan, we should be stationed in Weihui on the twenty-eighth, and leave for Cizhou on the twenty-ninth. The minister can find out the truth before the twenty-ninth, and never delay the southern tour. journey."

The courtiers in the hall didn't talk about martial arts, they were all watching from the wall, and their faces changed when they heard this. Today was the twenty-fifth day, and it was already sunset, so Lu Heng only had three days. After three days to find out the truth in an unfamiliar place, how dare Lu Heng be so arrogant?

Yan Wei seemed to have his head down, but in fact he was quietly looking at the emperor from the corner of his eyes. The emperor's face was calm, he nodded lightly, and said, "Okay. That's settled. If it's all right, you can all go down."

Chapter 55 Grievance

The ministers saluted and retired according to their grades. After waiting out, Chen Yin looked at Lu Heng, his face immediately turned cold, his eyes were like knives. Zhang Jinggong and Li Shi should not be able to see them, but Zhang Jinggong said with a half-smiling smile: "Commander Lu is really a newborn calf and is not afraid of tigers, and he said that the case will be solved within three days before he even sees it. "

Lu Heng smiled respectfully at Zhang Jing and said humbly, "Let the first assistant laugh."

Zhang Jinggong is a scholar, and even if he is gloating about misfortune, he mocks it very decently. Later, Li Shi, Xia Wenjin, Yan Wei and others may not be at peace with Zhang Jinggong, but at this moment, they are all tied up, hanging high, and watching from the wall.

This is the Ming Dynasty, where civil officials and military officers fight, among military officers, Jin Yiwei and Xungui fight, and Jinyiwei and Xungui fight against themselves within themselves. The same is true for civil servants. Different origins, places of origin, and teachers have different political factions. As a result, there are many camps in the court, and the parties are fighting. If you want to do a real thing, not many people are willing to help you, but there must be many people waiting to pick the wrong.

This time, Lu Heng completely broke his face with Chen Yin. Either he died or Chen Yin died. Lu Heng didn't expect Chen Yin to be merciful to him at all. However, apart from Jin Yiwei, there were also many malicious eyes, waiting for Lu Heng to roll over.

It's just that Lu Heng has been so hard-edged during this period of time. In December last year, he almost looted the cabinet's reserve seedlings, and even the chief assistant Yang Yingning was brought down by him. Although the impeachment was done by Zhang Jinggong, the knife was handed over by Lu Heng, and when civil servants held revenge, they would not miss him.

At the beginning of this year, he has made another big move. Few people knew that Lu Heng entered the palace to investigate the haunting case in the East Palace, but the matter of his investigation of the Zhang brothers, which led to the removal of the Duke of Changguo and the Marquis of Jianchang, was well known in the city. The emperor remembers his merits in his heart, but others may not.

Now, Lu Heng took the initiative to come out and take a big bag, and also issued a military order, guaranteeing that the case would be solved within three days. The officials present almost ran out and whipped pào. How could they let go of such a good opportunity?

Lu Heng knew that there were many people who were trying to make trouble for him, and this case was quite difficult to investigate. But he seeks wealth and wealth at risk. In his world, there are only peaks and demise, and there is no middle ground.

Lu Heng had no intention of wasting time. He saluted the senior scholars and said, "I am under the order of the emperor to investigate the case. Time is running out, so I won't accompany you any more. Please walk slowly, elders, and I will go first."

Lu Heng cupped his hands, turned to Chen Yin, and said respectfully, "Du Governor Chen, this subordinate retire."

After Lu Heng finished speaking, he turned and left, ignoring what the people behind him said about him. He has a good memory and clearly remembers that the grievances came from the southwest corner. He rushed to the west wall of the palace at the fastest speed, but as soon as he turned the corner, his eyes became cold.

Many soldiers in hooded armor surrounded the front. Through the densely packed legs and armor, they could see two women with white cloths in their mouths, tied to the ground by ropes, shivering and huddled together. The leader of the soldiers was Fu Tingzhou.

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Lu Heng would have wanted to laugh. What kind of bad relationship did he have with Fu Tingzhou recently, and they met again so soon. With so many officers accompanying him, he was the one who caught the civilian woman.

When Fu Tingzhou heard the voice, he turned around and saw Lu Heng, his face also hardened. Lu Heng approached, glanced at the civilian women behind the soldiers, and said with a smile: "Marquis of Zhenyuan, it's been a long time. Just now the emperor heard someone shouting injustice in the hall and sent me out to take a look. I also asked who responded so quickly. , is the Marquis of Zhenyuan."

Today, Fu Tingzhou and Marquis Wuding passed the sign. He was in a bad mood and didn't want to go back to his room to stay by himself, so he patrolled the palace wall. When he was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard someone shouting grievances, Fu Tingzhou hurried over and caught the two.

Although the palace was heavily guarded, the preparation time was rushed, and the crowd was cluttered, so it was difficult to completely separate the crowd, and the two of them didn't know how to get in. Fortunately, Fu Tingzhou arrived in time, and they were arrested after just shouting. Fu Tingzhou thought it couldn't be spread in the hall, but he never thought that the emperor heard it.

Judging from Lu Heng's appearance, this matter should be given to him. Fu Tingzhou kept his expression still, and said, "It's just my duty. Commander Lu is not escorting the emperor. What are you doing here?"

Lu Heng showed Fu Tingzhou the waist card of Jinyiwei, nodded slightly, and said, "The emperor cares about Limin and ordered me to find out the grievance. Thank you for your help, Marquis Zhenyuan, I will take him away."
