The Imperial Guard’s Revenge

"Yes." Lu Heng nodded with a smile, "I have come to report to the emperor. I would like to ask you to report."

"Lord Lu is very kind." The eunuch put down his whisk and said, "Lord Lu will wait here for a while, and the miscellaneous family will come when they go."

The eunuch entered inside to spread a message, and Lu Heng stopped in front of the hall and waited calmly. The sun was sinking in the west, and brilliant gold was folded in the light. He stood upright in the sun, with an embroidered chūn knife hanging from his waist. Besides, his skin was white, his neck was long, and he was tall. The flying fish suit was especially beautiful and gorgeous on him. It seems to glow in the grand sunset.

People who come and go can't help but look in his direction. Facing so many gazes, Lu Heng rehearsed in his mind what might happen next, and suddenly the conversation from last night appeared in his mind.

Wang Yanqing asked him, what exactly do you want to do.

Lu Heng thought that he had not met such an interesting person for a long time.

Lu Heng always felt that the world feared him, hated him, envied him and respected him, and wanted to copy his experience and replace it, but no one really understood him.

Including the emperor.

They are monarchs and ministers, no friendship, but interests glorified by childhood friendship. But after Wang Yanqing asked that sentence last night, Lu Heng was surprised to find that this person seemed to have appeared.

She could see through his disguise and sense his true intentions hidden behind his smile. Lu Heng has indeed been accompanying Cheng Youhai and Tao Yiming in acting for the past two days, but Lu Heng did not expect that Cheng Youhai would be so daring and dare to involve the White Lotus Sect.

Lu Heng secretly said that Cheng Youhai was courting death, but Cheng Youhai provided Lu Heng with a new idea.

In the Qingxu Temple that day, Lu Heng smiled and talked to Cheng Youhai about the rumor that Tang Saier was a soldier with paper-cutting. Cheng Youhai thought that Lu Heng was testing him, but in fact, that was Lu Heng's true thoughts.

Lu Heng did not believe in the idea of ​​praying to the gods, worshipping Buddha, and reincarnation, but the emperor believed it. There are three layers of truth in this case. The first layer is that Cheng Youhai deceived Tao Yiming. Cheng Youhai claimed that the two of them could join hands to deal with the aftermath, first forging an altar, then pretending to collude with the Taoist priest Qingxuguan and the White Lotus Sect to turn living people into paper In this way, all the missing villagers in Hegu Village can be blamed on Tang Saier's sorcery, and no one of them will be implicated.

The second layer is Cheng Youhai's true intentions. The bells and whistles of paper figurines are all a deception. What Cheng Youhai really wants to do is to kill Tao Yiming and lead everyone to think that Tao Yiming is colluding with the White Lotus Sect, imprison the strong man, and commit suicide after being defeated.

And the third layer is the truth of the whole thing. There is no White Lotus Sect and no witchcraft at all. In fact, the villagers accidentally discovered the gold mine, and the local officials wanted to embezzle it. Unexpectedly, the people shouted grievances from the front, and bào revealed what they had done. In order to cover up the gold mine, the prefect and the county magistrate shied each other's responsibilities, and then deduced such a big drama.

Compared with the first two versions, the real result is dull and rudimentary. The real motives for crimes are often very ugly, and they are nothing more than money, sex, and hatred, and they are no different from animals. There are no dramatic and unavoidable reasons at all.

Lu Heng learned about Tao Yiming and Cheng Youhai's respective thoughts, but he didn't expose it, but he took the plan and brought Cheng Youhai and Tao Yiming back to the palace. He provided all three possibilities to the emperor, and if the emperor needed the truth, he would turn the result of solving the case into what it looked like.

Cheng Youhai's aftermath was too rough, leaving many flaws. But if Lu Heng did it, he could handle it flawlessly.

This is the real purpose of him tricking Tao Yiming into acting and deceiving Cheng Youhai into the palace. Jin Yiwei, who was with him day and night, didn't notice it, but Wang Yanqing noticed it.

Lu Heng sighed in his heart at that time, she was so transparent and lovely, how could he be willing to let her go? The situation from last night is still vivid in his mind. After he told Wang Yanqing his thoughts, Wang Yanqing opened his eyes wide and asked with a disillusioned expression, "Why do you do this?"

In her opinion, since Lu Heng has found out the truth, what he has to do is to expose everything and set things right. Lu Heng, on the other hand, kept silent, and even forged the results of the case for the sake of the superior.

Wang Yanqing couldn't accept it, Lu Heng just smiled at her and said, "Because, I am Jin Yiwei."

The "Bao Qingtian" who is upright, hates evil, and wants to make the truth clear to the world no matter how ugly the truth is, was done by the civil servants. He is Jin Yiwei, walking in the dark and conspiracy. What he wants to do is not to make a name for himself in the history, but to maintain the imperial power and let this dynasty run smoothly.

Some people stand in the light to be praised by history books and admired by all people, but some people stand in the dark and do some dirty work.

These may not be understood by Wang Yanqing now. But it doesn't matter, she doesn't need to understand.

Lu Heng controlled Wang Yanqing's actions, put her under house arrest in the courtyard in disguise, and then returned to the Holy Front. As soon as he thought about it, the eunuch who reported it came back.

Lu Heng nodded and smiled at the eunuch, and calmly stepped into the Golden Palace.

When Lu Heng entered, the emperor was talking to Tao Zhongwen, a Taoist priest. The emperor asked: "During the daytime, I saw a wind circling my car endlessly. This is auspicious."

Tao Zhongwen was wearing a Taoist robe, calculated for a while, and said, "Go back to the Holy One, this is the main fire, and there may be a sign of a big fire."

The emperor heard the question: "Why?"

Tao Zhongwen replied profoundly: "The Holy One does not know anything, this fire is God's will, and it is inevitable in the end. The minister has used Taoism to eliminate disasters, and you can protect the Holy Spirit's well-being."
