The Imperial Guard’s Revenge

Lu Heng swept the prefect, and his eyes fell on Tao Yiming. Tao Yiming also bowed his head and folded his hands: "Xiaguan missed the inspection, I didn't know that there were White Lotus believers in the Qingxu Temple, please command the messenger to convict."

Lu Heng didn't say anything, motioned Chen Yuxuan to put away the portrait and walked out of the courtyard by himself. Cheng Zhifu breathed a sigh of relief, and scolded Tao Yiming in a low voice: "Look at the trouble you have caused, you are derelict of duty alone, and everyone in the Weihui government will lose their lives! You watch here, I will go with Lu Lord, beg for mercy."

Tao Yiming lowered his head and let Cheng Zhifu scold him. After Cheng Zhifu reprimanded his subordinates, he quickly caught up with Lu Heng.

Lu Heng stood again in front of the neatly arranged paper figurines holding swords. He didn't say a word, while Cheng Zhifu waited behind the scorching sun, not daring to let out a breath of air. Lu Heng looked at it for a while, and suddenly said: "Master Cheng, you remember a rumor."

"Xiaoguan is ignorant, please ask Mr. Lu to clarify your doubts."

"It is said that Tang Saier found a book of heaven and a sword in the crevices of the stone. She learned the spells in the book of heaven. She cut paper to become a soldier, and turned a stone into gold. Taking the ability to cut paper as the call of the army and horses, a large number of people were recruited, and there were many people who responded. Later, the rebellion was suppressed, and all the rebel leaders in the cottage were beheaded, except for Tang Saier, the book of heaven and the sword. So I disappeared. I didn't expect that a hundred years later, I saw Tang Saier's portrait in a Taoist watch. These paper figures are very similar to the legendary paper figures and paper horses."

Cheng Zhifu stopped for a while and asked in a low voice, "Master Lu means..."

"The Taoist priest of Qingxuguan stole the portrait of Tang Saier, and there is an altar of practice in the apse. Do you think the Taoist priest of Qingxuguan learned Tang Saier's demon method and turned the villagers of Hegu Village into paper figures for offering Drive yourself?"

Cheng Zhifu snorted and said, "Master Lu, do you mean that these paper figurines are actually transformed from living people?"

"Yeah. Otherwise, how to explain the things in Qingxu Guan?"

Cheng Zhifu lowered his body and cupped his hands. He couldn't see Lu Heng's expression clearly, but he could only feel that Lu Heng was standing in front of him, extremely straight and tall. The children of the sixth generation of military guards, the demeanor of action is engraved into the bones, no matter when they sit upright and stand upright. The shadow cast down, like a halberd and a javelin.

Cheng Zhifu was sweating on his forehead. In the end, he deliberately smiled and said, "Master Lu is joking again."

Cheng Zhifu laughed exaggeratedly, and Lu Heng, who was in front of him, also laughed softly. Cheng Zhifu's cold hair stood up at this laugh, but Lu Heng turned around, patted Cheng Zhifu's shoulder closely, and said seriously, "I'm not joking."

Cheng Zhifu's face froze, Lu Heng's face was cold and solemn just now, and his stern face was very scary, but he laughed in an instant. It was so uncertain that Cheng Zhifu was completely unable to think about what he wanted to do.

Lu Heng looked directly into the eyes of Cheng Zhifu, and said meaningfully: "Master Cheng, don't be nervous, I just have a heart with Master Cheng. In the early years of Yongle, natural and man-made disasters continued, which gave the rebels an opportunity to take advantage, but it was not enough. Sixty days later, the rebellion was completely suppressed. Not to mention now that the emperor Shengming, Haiyan Heqing, even if Xiaoxiao worshipped the White Lotus Sect and wanted to imitate Tang Saier's move, it was destined to fail. However, the emperor is good, if To be able to find Tang Sai'er's celestial book and sword, such a great contribution, Cheng Zhifu's tomorrow is really precious."

Cheng Zhifu's eyes moved quickly, the muscles on his face were stiff, and he seemed to want to laugh, but when he put it on, it was nondescript: "Master Lu, the lower official is stupid, I hope Master Lu will make it clear."

Lu Heng just smiled and didn't say much. He turned to look at the many paper figurines again, and sighed: "Looking at it this way, these paper figurines are really lifelike. If it weren't for paper embryos, some people would believe if they were real people."

After Lu Heng said these words, Jin Yiwei, who went to the back mountain to search, also returned, saying that there was no trace of the Taoist priest. Seeing that Xu Guan couldn't find any more clues, Lu Heng ordered to return to the city.

At the county office, Wang Yanqing came back exhausted from the outside, and the guard at the door saw her and was very surprised: "Miss Wang? When did you go out?"

Fu Tingzhou's people don't know how to circumvent the guards. As of now, these people don't know that Wang Yanqing is missing. Wang Yanqing's mind is very confused now. She didn't want to disturb Lu Heng, so she said lightly, "It's nothing, I'll just go out for a walk by myself."

The guards felt that something was wrong, but Wang Yanqing came back unscathed. It should be fine. Maybe they didn't notice when they changed the guard? While the guard hesitated, Wang Yanqing had already entered. He looked at Wang Yanqing's back and silently swallowed the words in his mouth.

Forget it, maybe they didn't see it.

After Wang Yanqing returned to the room, he immediately lay down on the bed and slept tightly with the quilt. She was extremely tired this time, and it was all her will to get here. She didn't know how long she had slept, but finally, she was woken up by the growing colic in her stomach.

Wang Yanqing looked at the window, it turned out that it was almost time for you. She hadn't eaten well all day, no wonder her stomach hurt badly. Wang Yanqing was suffering from menstrual cramps and hunger, so she didn't even have the strength to speak. Just then, someone from the kitchen came to ask her if she wanted to eat. Wang Yanqing saw that it was the same maid from yesterday, and said, "It's time for work."

The maid quickly brought the food box over, and while she was putting out the dishes, she said, "Girl, at noon, Mr. Lu's people came over and said that you don't need to prepare your lunch, so we didn't care. It's a pity that the old mother on the stove was cooking. It's been a long time."
