The Imperial Guard’s Revenge

Chapter 12



Fu Tingzhou was going to be pissed off. Who else could it be?

The maid originally had some words of concern, but after she caught Fu Tingzhou's gaze, she seemed to be stared at by a tiger, and she became hoarse. Fu Tingzhou was expressionless and said coldly, "Since mother is frightened, she should rest well and don't care about the outside world."

The maid was frightened, and suddenly realized that she had made a taboo. Women are not allowed to ask about things in the outer court. The old lady was also in a daze, and even came to inquire about Hou Ye.

The maid hurriedly bowed her head, tremblingly said: "This servant did not intend to offend, please forgive me."

Fu Tingzhou has no time to be angry with a little girl. He didn't bother to scan it, and said, "Go on."

The maid squatted down and quickly stepped back with her head lowered. The maid's eager footsteps fell on the ground, making the room more and more quiet. The housekeeper personally prepared dishes for Fu Tingzhou, and asked, "Master Hou, it will be Laba in two days. Is this year's boxing still the same as last year's?"

Daming is a human society, family politics, and human exchanges are also an important part. The boxing ceremony seems to be the female relatives of the two houses giving each other things, but the involvement is all-round. It stands to reason that this is the job of being a mistress, but with Fu Chang and Chen's brains, Fu Tingzhou dare not give them such a thing, so he can only worry about it himself.

Fu Tingzhou was about to speak when something flashed through his mind, and he hurriedly asked, "What day is today?"

The housekeeper was stunned by the question, and replied, "Today is the second day of the twelfth lunar month."

"Second day of junior high..." Fu Tingzhou stood there, his heart suddenly throbbing.

Yesterday was the first day of December, her birthday.

He even thought that she would go to see Hong Wanqing on her birthday, and even caused her to fall off a cliff. No wonder she was always gloomy yesterday, he secretly blamed her for taking Joe too much, but he was the one who took too much.

Fu Tingzhou stood in front of the dining table absentmindedly, the food was steaming up, but Fu Tingzhou had no intention of touching his chopsticks at all. There was a sound of small footsteps outside the window. Seeing that Fu Tingzhou's expression was wrong, the butler hurried out to stop the person who didn't have long eyes: "Master Hou is eating, and it will be late for the court in a while. I'll talk about it later."

When the other party was stopped at the door, she was a little anxious, disregarding the rules and raising her voice, looking into the room: "Master Hou, this servant has something important to report."

Seeing that she dared to look inside, the housekeeper immediately pulled down his face to have a seizure. Fu Tingzhou recognized the woman's voice and said for the first time, "Let her come in."

The butler's eyebrows were still standing, so it was neither fire nor not, so he glared at the maid. Fei Cui bowed her head to apologize to the housekeeper, walked quickly into the room, and knelt down with her dress turned up as soon as they met: "This servant is negligent, please forgive me."

Fu Tingzhou knew that this was Wang Yanqing's personal maid, and because of Qingqing's face, he was willing to endure her overstepping. Fu Tingzhou asked, "What's wrong?"

Fei Cui did not dare to be careless, she lowered her head deeply, and brought the things up with her hands: "This servant found this in the cage where the girl was changing clothes."

Fu Tingzhou asked at random, but when he glanced at the thing in Fei Cui's hand, he stopped for a moment. He looked at it for a while, then leaned over and took the items.

Documents, road guides, and household posts. This is a must-have when going out. What are you doing with this?

Lu House.

Lu Heng dismounted, and the concierge hurried down the steps to lead the horse to Lu Heng. Lu Heng casually said "feed the ingredients well", then lifted the hem of his clothes and strode back.

Guo Tao quickly chased behind Lu Heng and said, "Commander, the Fu family spent the night at the bottom of the mountain last night, and this morning there was someone watching at the west gate of the guardhouse."

Lu Heng laughed: "Dare to stare at Jin Yiwei, but you are not small. It seems that yesterday's arrow was lighter."

The court had just dispersed in the early morning. Fu Tingzhou gathered at the Meridian Gate as usual, and then entered the palace to go to court, and there was nothing cheap. After the war, Lu Heng and Fu Tingzhou went their separate ways without even a single glance. However, Lu Heng knew that Fu Tingzhou had a wound on his arm, and also knew that the reason why Fu Tingzhou did not come to him was not because he was calm, but because Fu Tingzhou had not found any evidence.

If you have nothing in your hand, what's the use of rushing up? It will only give Lu Heng the handle for nothing.

Lu Heng knew that Fu Tingzhou suspected him, but he didn't care. Guess what, if you want to prove that Lu Heng moved his hand, you have to show evidence. If Fu Tingzhou can find traces, he will be considered as capable.

Fu Tingzhou was just a side dish in Lu Heng's place, and he didn't intend to kill Fu Tingzhou. Lu Heng knew the person in the palace too well. The emperor looked at his willful behavior, but he was very clear in his heart. The courtiers fight with each other to help stabilize the imperial power. The emperor is happy to pretend to be deaf and dumb, but if it goes too far and threatens the security of the northwest frontier, the emperor will not tolerate it.

The Fu family has a deep foundation in the army, especially Fu Yue, who has been guarding Datong for many years, is very famous in the Northwest Army. The emperor also counted on the Fu family to guard the western front, and would never let the Fu family have an accident at this juncture.

After the annoying monkey was beaten, Lu Heng let out his breath and immediately shifted his focus to his own business. He asked, "Are those in the prison willing to speak?"

Guo Tao shook his head: "No. They are Hanlin civil servants, all of them are delicate and expensive, and we don't dare to punish them.

Lu Heng said: "There is someone behind them to protect them, but it's not that they are safe. Lock them up first, and don't give them food or water. I'll see how long their bones will be hard."
