Return of the Swallow

"I don't know what your Majesty has done because we don't have rice to eat, but he slapped the person who tried to get rice for us. This is too..."

"I don't want to kill you!"

The man's words were interrupted by a kind person behind him.

The man patted the man's arm: "Don't talk about this, listen carefully. Don't you and your whole family want to die!"

The man knew he had made a mistake, so he had no choice but to shut up in frustration.

But someone stopped the discussion here, while the discussion in other places gradually spread to every corner of the city.

Li Qitian still didn't know how far the situation had developed, but Lu Heng had already received the news.

Although Lu Heng was ordered not to leave Huichuan County, he was free to move, but he had to be accompanied by the "guards" arranged by the Holy Emperor when he came in and out.

He doesn't like to walk around much on weekdays. In recent days, since he can't get any news from his subordinates, he really likes to wander around, see all kinds of things in the city, and observe the situation by the way.

So when Lu Heng heard that Pang Zhixi had been escorted to the Yamen by the Holy Lord as soon as he arrived at Huichuan, he was shocked at first, and then he couldn't help but wanted to raise the corners of his lips.

Your Majesty, are you crazy about the treasure? He doesn’t even care about his reputation anymore!

Back in the capital, Pang Zhixi had already gained an excellent reputation. Storytellers on the streets were talking about his heroic deeds, and he was once promoted as a hero of the Zhou Dynasty.

Now that the hero is being treated like this by the Holy One, what should the people feel when they find out?

Lu Heng shook his head and controlled the expression on his face, but in his mind he kept imagining the scene of Pang Zhixi being beaten, and felt very comfortable all over his body.

Pang Zhixi was beaten. I wonder how Qin Yining felt?

Thinking of Qin Yining, Lu Heng's smiling eyes dimmed again.

As a man, it was naturally difficult for him to inquire about Pang Xiao's family members. After returning home, I met Bian Ruohan, and while chatting, they talked about Pang Xiao's beating.

They were under house arrest these days, and Bian Ruohan was so frightened that he put away his usual unruly and arrogant behavior. Lu Heng didn't have time to confront Bian Ruohan, so the relationship between the two was unprecedentedly harmonious.

"My uncle said it, and I heard about it just now.

Bian Ruohan tied the knot dexterously with his hands and said with crooked eyebrows, "I thought the Qin family and Prince Zhongshun had a deep love. This time, Prince Zhongshun was obviously summoned by the Holy One to question him, but the Qin family himself I'm out taking people on a sightseeing tour, but I don't want to come. "

Lu Heng was stunned when he heard this and obviously did not react immediately.

Bian Ruohan raised his eyes and carefully observed Lu Heng's expression. Seeing him like this, he secretly thought that this was a perfect opportunity, and immediately added jealously: "I heard someone say when I went to the jewelry stall today, this time Prince Zhongshun When she came back, she didn’t bring the princess with her at all. Someone in charge of the prince’s honor guard said that when Prince Zhongshun was still seriously injured, the princess went out with others. It can be seen that her deep affection for the prince on the surface is all fake. "

Lifting his eyes to look at Lu Heng, his soft voice was filled with obvious eagerness and longing, "Uncle, Mrs. Qin is such a cold-hearted woman. Prince Zhongshun loves her so much that he can abandon her in times of crisis. People don’t care, let alone other irrelevant people?”

So stop thinking about that bitch, Mrs. Qin has no interest in you at all! I am the woman around you who has your best interests at heart.

Lu Heng listened quietly to Bian Ruohan's persuasion, but what he was thinking in his heart was completely different from what Bian Ruohan said.

He naturally knew what kind of person Qin Yining was. She was so infatuated and stubborn. She had gone through many critical moments with Pang Xiao. Her loyalty and stubbornness made him cherish her, but also made him jealous of Pang Xiao.

With Qin Yining's temperament, it was absolutely impossible for her to ignore Pang Xiao when he was in crisis. The reason why she left must be to do other important things in private.

Qin Yining's ability is definitely not inferior to that of men. If you want to guess what she can do, it is too broad. Lu Heng can't figure it out for a while.

But the word "treasure" quickly flashed through my mind.

What he said to Li Qitian was just to clear his name. He caught Li Qitian's fear of Pang Xiao and deliberately tried to get hold of Pang Xiao.

But now Qin Yining has separated from Pang Xiao uncharacteristically, and has not shared hardships with Pang Xiao. Is there anything worthy of Qin Yining doing recently? Lu Heng easily thought of the treasure.

According to Lu Heng's judgment, this treasure will only fall into the hands of the Holy Master in the end.

Because the Holy One has enough manpower, he divided his troops into nine groups to investigate them one by one. Although Pang Xiao has prestige in the army, he actually doesn't have many people in his hands.

He was just a humble guy, but he didn't have as deep a foundation and connections as the Lu family.

If it were Pang Zhixi who was discovered by the Holy Emperor to have hidden the treasure, he would probably be prosecuted immediately with great fanfare.

And when he was discovered by the Holy Master hiding the treasure, he only raised it high and put it down gently. He was only under house arrest for the time being, which gave him enough time to react.

This is the advantage of having the Lu family as a strong backing.

Lu Heng's mind was racing, and he already analyzed the crux of the problem while taking a sip of tea.

When Bian Ruohan saw that Lu Heng's expression remained unchanged and showed no contempt or disgust for Qin Yining, disappointment and resentment overwhelmed her like a tide.

Why? Why?

There is something about Qin that is better than her, which makes Lu Heng so obsessed with her!

Even if she did such a heartless thing, Lu Heng didn't take it to heart at all.

She was Lu Heng's first wife and the one who shared his difficulties, but Lu Heng was always thinking about a married woman!

Bian Ruohan still has some sense left, knowing that the couple is now being closely guarded, and if they really get into trouble, it may be reported to the ears of the Holy Emperor. Otherwise, she really wanted to grab Lu Heng's collar, shake it, and ask her what was wrong with her, and why he just refused to look at her more?

%

Qin Yining had no intention of following Pang Xiao, and it took a long time for Li Qitian to react after beating Pang Xiao to the ground.

After hearing Xiong Jinshui's reply, Li Qitian smiled mockingly.

"Do you really think that I am stupid? Why do you think that no one in the court knows about the relationship between the couple when they go out for fun? Pang Zhixi is a person who can resist orders for the Qin family!"

Xiong Jinshui bowed to the side and his heart was in his throat when he heard the words, fearing that the Holy One would be angry with him if he was unhappy.

Li Qitian looked back at the head eunuch beside him, "Do you think Mrs. Qin is really going out for fun?"

Xiong Jinshui didn't think too much at this time, he just thought about how to make the Holy One agree, and said casually: "The Holy One is far-sighted and must have had an idea for a long time. I just said a little bit of my little knowledge, like Prince Zhongshun." People who love their wives should be the most loving, and most likely they have already hidden the princess."

"Oh? It's so good, why would he want to hide someone?"

Xiong Jinshui choked, then laughed and said: "This slave doesn't know. Maybe Prince Zhongshun's family has been wiped out, the old and the young are gone, and only this daughter-in-law is left. He wants to leave a relative. Bar."

Relatives?

Li Qitian was immediately diverted from his train of thought.

Could it be that Mrs. Qin is pregnant?
