"I didn't see Your Majesty do anything for us when we don't have rice to eat, but he beat the person who found a way to get rice for us with a plank. This is too …"
"Do you want to die?"
The man's words were interrupted by a kind-hearted person behind him.
That person patted the man's arm and said, "Don't talk about this. Tell someone to listen carefully. Don't tell me your family doesn't want to live anymore? "
The man knew that he had misspoken and could only shut his mouth gloomily.
However, even though someone stopped the discussion here, the discussion in other places gradually spread to every corner of the city.
Li Qitian still didn't know how the situation had developed, but Lu Heng had already received the news.
Although Lu Heng was ordered not to leave Huichuan County, he was still free to move around. However, when he went in and out, he had to be accompanied by the "bodyguards" arranged by Your Majesty.
He usually didn't like to walk around outside, but recently, because he didn't receive any news from his subordinates, he really liked to wander around and see the various situations in the city. At the same time, he also liked to observe the situation.
Therefore, when Lu Heng heard that Pang Zhixi was taken to the yamen and beaten by Your Majesty as soon as he arrived in Huichuan County, he was shocked at first. Then, he couldn't help but want to raise the corners of his lips.
Has Your Majesty gone crazy because of the treasure? He doesn't even care about his reputation anymore!
When he was in the capital, Pang Zhixi already had an excellent reputation. Storytellers on the streets and alleys were talking about his heroic deeds. At one point, he was promoted as the hero of the Da Zhou dynasty.
Now that the hero was being treated like this by Your Majesty, how would the common people feel if they knew?
Lu Heng shook his head and controlled the expression on his face. However, in his heart, he was constantly imagining the scene of Pang Zhixi being beaten. He only felt very comfortable from head to toe.
I wonder how Qin Yining would feel if Pang Zhixi was beaten?
Thinking of Qin Yining, Lu Heng's smiling eyes dimmed again.
As a man, he naturally didn't ask about Pang Xiao's family. When he returned home, he saw Bian Ruohan. While chatting, he brought up the matter of Pang Xiao being beaten.
Bian Ruohan had been scared out of his wits when they were under house arrest for the past few days. He had put away his usual arrogance and willfulness. Lu Heng didn't have the time to argue with Bian Ruohan. Therefore, the two of them got along harmoniously like never before.
"That's what Master Bo said. This concubine also heard about it." Bian Ruohan nimbly tied a knot and said with a smile, "I thought the Qin Clan and Prince Zhongshun were deeply in love. This time, Prince Zhongshun was obviously summoned by Your Majesty to denounce him. However, the Qin Clan was traveling with their people and refused to come."
Hearing this, Lu Heng stilled and clearly didn't immediately react.
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. He immediately added fuel to the fire. "Today, when I went to visit the jewelry stalls, I heard people say that Prince Zhongshun didn't bring Wang Fei with him when he came back this time. The person in charge of Wang Ye's honor said that when Prince Zhongshun was seriously injured, Wang Fei took people to travel. It can be seen that all the affection she appears to have for Wang Ye is fake. "
She raised her eyes to look at Lu Heng. Her soft voice carried obvious urgency and desire. "Master Bo, the Qin Clan is such a cold-hearted woman. Prince Zhongshun dotes on her so much. In times of danger, she can even abandon him. What about other unrelated people?"
So don't think about that b * tch anymore. The Qin Clan doesn't care about you at all! I'm the woman by your side who cares about you the most.
Lu Heng quietly listened to Bian Ruohan's persuasion, but his thoughts were completely different from what Bian Ruohan had said.
He naturally knew what kind of person Qin Yining was. She was so infatuated and stubborn. She had survived many dangerous situations with Pang Xiao. He cherished her loyalty and stubbornness, and his jealousy towards Pang Xiao grew with each passing day.
With Qin Yining's personality, if Pang Xiao was in danger, she definitely wouldn't ignore it. She must have left to do something important in private.
Qin Yining's ability was not inferior to a man's. If he wanted to guess what she was going to do, it was too broad. Lu Heng couldn't figure it out at the moment.
However, the word "treasure" quickly flashed through his mind.
What he said to Li Qitian was just to clear his name. He took advantage of Li Qitian's fear of Pang Xiao and purposely used Pang Xiao as an excuse.
However, Qin Yining was uncharacteristically separated from Pang Xiao. She didn't go through thick and thin with Pang Xiao. What was it that was worth Qin Yining's attention recently? Lu Heng easily thought of the treasure.
According to Lu Heng's judgment, the treasure would eventually fall into Your Majesty's hands.
Your Majesty had enough manpower to split the army into nine groups to investigate it one by one. Although Pang Xiao had prestige in the army, he didn't have many people under his command.
He started out as a bumpkin, so he didn't have as deep a foundation and connections as the Lu family.
If it was Pang Zhixi who was discovered by Your Majesty to be hiding the treasure, he would probably be immediately condemned with great fanfare.
However, when Your Majesty discovered that he was hiding the treasure, he was only temporarily placed under house arrest to give him enough time to react.
This was the advantage of having the Lu family as a powerful backer.
Lu Heng's mind was spinning. In the time it took to drink tea, he had already analyzed the crux of the problem.
Bian Ruohan saw that Lu Heng's expression didn't change. He didn't show any disdain or disgust for Qin Yining. Disappointment and resentment flooded her like a tidal wave.
Why? Why?
What was so good about the Qin Clan that made Lu Heng so infatuated with her?
Even when she did such a heartless thing, Lu Heng did not take it to heart.
She was Lu Heng's first wife. She was the one who had gone through thick and thin with him. However, Lu Heng was always thinking about a married woman!
Bian Ruohan still had a bit of rationality left. She knew that the two of them were being closely watched. If they really got into a fight, Your Majesty would probably hear about it. Otherwise, she really wanted to grab Lu Heng's collar and shake it. She wanted to ask him what was wrong with her. Why didn't he want to see her more?

Li Qitian only realized that Qin Yining didn't come with Pang Xiao after he gave Pang Xiao a beating.
After hearing Xiong Jinshui's report, Li Qitian laughed mockingly.
"Do you really think we're stupid? What do you mean going out to play? Do you think that everyone in the court doesn't know about the relationship between the two of them? Pang Zhixi is someone who can defy an imperial edict for the sake of the Qin Clan! "
Xiong Jinshui bowed to the side. When he heard this, his heart was in his throat. He was afraid that Your Majesty would vent her anger on him if she was unhappy.
Li Qitian turned to look at the head eunuch beside him. "Do you really think that the Qin Clan is going out to play?"
Xiong Jinshui didn't have time to think too much at this time. He was only thinking about how to make Your Majesty happy. He casually said: "Your Majesty is far-sighted. He must have thought of this a long time ago. This servant is just sharing this servant's small opinion. Prince Zhongshun is someone who loves his wife the most. He most likely hid the princess consort away a long time ago. "
"Oh? Why would he hide her for no reason? "
Xiong Jinshui choked. He immediately forced a smile and said: "This servant doesn't know. Perhaps Prince Zhongshun's family has already died out. Both the old and young are gone. He only has this wife left, so he wants to keep a family member. "
Family member?
Li Qitian's train of thought was immediately led astray.
