Chapter 82
Lu Heng patted the ashes on his sleeve, and said lightly, "Be gentle, this is a book after all. Guo Tao, take out the booklet and start counting."
Jin Yiwei took out a shelf of books, opened the cover, and sure enough, the paper inside had been hollowed out and replaced with bright gold bars. Zhao Huai put the book on the outermost layer to cover it up. In fact, there was gold underneath. No wonder the Jinyiwei scouts came several times, but each time they returned without success. Who would have thought that Zhao Huai did not use a secret room or a wall, but directly placed the gold outside.
Jin Yiwei moved all night's books and tossed it until it was dawn, and finally took out all the gold bars.
Lu Heng glanced at the sky, he didn't have to sleep tonight, he could go to court after changing his clothes. Going back to the manor now may wake her up... Well, he should go to Nanzhen Fusi to change.
Lu Heng walked out, and when he reached the Zhao family atrium, a young girl staggered out and shouted hoarsely, "Lord Lu."
Lu Heng's footsteps paused for a moment, and in this moment of effort, the girl had already rushed in front of Lu Heng. Her long hair was loose, but in winter, she was wearing a thin coat, shivering in the cold wind. She raised her eyes and looked at Lu Heng pleadingly: "Lord Lu, what crime did my father commit?"
Lu Heng knew that this was Zhao Huai's daughter. She seemed to be hiding behind Mrs. Zhao Huai just now, so she was the daughter of the Zhao family. The sinful relatives of the Zhao family were originally detained in the main hall by Jin Yiwei, but Jin Yiwei was busy checking Zhao Huai's embezzlement. After one night, the guards couldn't help but relax, and she ran out like this.
Lu Heng looked at the girl's helpless eyes, unmoved, and said, "You dare to come and intercede with me without knowing what crime your father committed?"
been seen. Miss Zhao San clenched her fingers, completely abandoning the modesty of the boudoir girl, and begging almost humbly: "I know my father has made a big mistake. The little girl is willing to serve Master Lu for life without asking for a title, can Master Lu forgive me and forgive me? Dad is dead."
Miss Zhao San was raised in a deep boudoir, carefree, but not without a brain. Her father had been taken away for half a month, but Jin Yiwei directly called the door tonight, and her mother kept reassuring her that she was fine, but she was so flustered that she instinctively felt that something was wrong. Suddenly the voices from the study room became louder, Jin Yiwei moved frequently, whispered that he had found it, and the mother and her face turned ashen together.
It was over, my father was really corrupt, and was found out by Jin Yiwei. The mother fainted at the time, and when the servants saw that the Zhao family was over, they took the opportunity to steal things, and many concubines even shouted that they wanted to let go of the concubines. Miss Zhao San didn't even know how she got here that night. She was flooded by the cold wind all night, and finally realized at dawn that if she wanted to save their family, she had to beg that person.
——Lu Heng, who brought someone to check the Zhao family.
He is the emperor's most trusted person and the commander-in-chief of this operation. The father is greedy for more and less, and the crime is heavier and lighter, just his words.
Miss Zhao San knew that she was pretty good looking, and she admitted that she had studied piano, chess, calligraphy and painting for several years. The wife who came to be a guest often joked that she wanted to marry her as a daughter-in-law. She was only sixteen, and many people had come to propose marriage. As long as she can impress Lu Heng, no matter what method she uses, even her body, she is willing.
After Miss Zhao San finished speaking, she felt nervous for the first time ever. She was a little embarrassed to look directly into Lu Heng's eyes, but thinking of her father whose life and death were uncertain, she tried to break up those reserved, pleading, humble, and pitiful look at Lu Heng.
She used up all her daughter's dignity to say those words to him, but Miss Zhao San found that the smile on Lu Heng's face had not changed.
He has a pair of brilliant eyes, glittering, naturally affectionate, and much more beautiful than ordinary men. The eyes are obviously good-looking when they smile, but at this moment they don't feel any warmth at all. Instead, they seem to be stared at by a bright and colorful poisonous snake. Any breath will produce the illusion of death.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Chapter 31 Conditions
Lu Heng knew what she wanted to do when she rushed over, but he didn't expect that Miss Zhao would be so open-minded.
Did she think that as long as she lowered her posture, he would accept it?
Too much to think about.
Lu Heng said slowly: "Miss Zhao, you are the daughter of a servant, and the body of a thousand dollars. How can you do some things to serve others? I am ashamed and dare not be worthy, Miss Zhao, please get up."
Miss Zhao San felt a heavy heart, and he refused. Could it be that the father's case is so serious that even Lu Heng dare not touch it? Or, is he trying to beat her on purpose, deliberately suppressing her?
Miss Zhao San was heartbroken and fought hard again. She grabbed the corner of Lu Heng's clothes, raised her head, and looked at him pleadingly: "I know that I am the daughter of a sinner, and I am not worthy of Lord Lu. The little girl has self-knowledge, and she will never ask for any status, nor will she give it to him. In the future, Mrs. Lu will cause trouble. If there is no shortage of people around Lord Lu to serve, I am willing to be a slave and a maid, and I will also make it possible to be a fire-fighting girl beside the Lord. "
Lu Heng smiled and took a step back. Miss Zhao San felt the delicate cloud brocade fabric slipping from her hand, and her heart twitched. His speed was not fast, but Miss Zhao San had no courage anymore and reached out to grab the cloud.
In just a short time, many people have noticed this. The weak and beautiful lady in distress and the Jin Yiwei who pulled her father down into the abyss have always been hot topics of discussion. In the past, when homes were raided, there were many examples of criminal ministers and concubines directly taken away by Jin Yiwei. As Lu Heng, he didn't even need to be active. As long as he showed a little bit of meaning, the eunuch who came to register the head directly Just help him get people off the roster.
