Chapter 23: Before Entering the Palace

Lu Guogong didn't pay attention to the few people who knelt down, and his eyes fell on Cheng Dong tightly, Cheng Dong's appearance was really miserable at this time.

The right shoulder drooped weakly, and it looked like it was seriously injured. The whole body is blue and purple, and the whip marks are dense in the east and west.

The skin on his body was lifted up by the barbed thorns on the whip, and the blood dripped down the tattered clothes, merging into a piece, red and bright, and extremely dazzling.

In the end, it is the relationship between father and son, although Lu Guogong does not have deep feelings for this concubine, he can't help but shrink his pupils when he sees Cheng Dong's miserable appearance at this time.

The son of the dignified Guogong was beaten by his subordinates like this, I can't imagine that Cheng Dong is also his son, does the Guogong Mansion still send him a bite to eat?

"Who gave you the right to punish the young master?" Lu Guogong's majestic face was full of anger, and there was a strong killing intent in his voice.

The big housekeeper who came in with Lu Guogong was very eye-catching, and he stepped forward to put Cheng Dong down, and then ordered Xiao Si to hurry up and invite Lang Zhong.

For fear that Cheng Dong will have a bad day, the Guogong Mansion will set off a big wave.

"Say!" Lu Guogong turned a blind eye to the actions of the chief butler, and scolded loudly, and the frightened second housekeeper and several subordinates trembled even more, and their heads slammed to the ground.

"Second butler, you say." Lu Guogong's eyes fell on the second housekeeper, he knew that the second housekeeper was his wife's henchman, and he was deeply pleased with his wife.

"Whoa." The second housekeeper put his head on the ground and replied in a trembling voice: "Little, the villain doesn't know, the villain just came to check, yes, it was the order given by the lady." ”

Speaking of this, the second housekeeper pointed his hand at the short man kneeling not far from the torture rack, and said, "The villain was not present at that time, Liu San was present. ”

When the short man heard this, he wanted to kill the second housekeeper, there are so many people here, why only refer to him, and other people were also present at the time!

Of course, the short man will definitely not understand, so he only refers to him, because he worked hardest in punishment and beat the second young master the hardest.

Lu Guogong's face was gloomy, and the eyes of the eagle falcons shot at the short man, and the short man who was staring at him was sweating, and he no longer had the previous arrogance and ruthlessness.

There is no need to be tortured, the short man will sell the Duchess of Lu Guo to the bottom, compared to the lady, it is still the grandfather of the country is more terrifying.

After listening to the explanation, Lu Guogong looked at Cheng Dong's hand, and the chief housekeeper also noticed Cheng Dong's hand, stepped forward to examine it carefully, and then looked up and said:

"Master, the second young master is only afraid that he is really good at martial arts, and I see that he also has calluses on his fingers, so I am afraid that he has no less grip on the pen."

This is equivalent to confirming the guess of Duchess Lu Guo, this kid has been hiding himself, and he is not as sloppy as he appears.

And why he wants to hide his strength is also very clear, this is self-preservation, he didn't see that his strength was just revealed, and he was almost destroyed.

Lu Guogong's face was cloudy, and after a while, he suddenly spoke: "These slaves who deceived the master were all killed, and the second housekeeper was demoted from his position and cleaned the thatched house. ”

"Whoa." Someone outside received the order, and then a team of guards came in, dragging the short man and a few people away, leaving them to plead without relenting.

The second housekeeper knelt there and thanked him, take off his position, and have a chance to get it back in the future, if he takes off his head, he won't have any chance, it's really dangerous.

"If you dare to leak half a sentence about today's matter, come and see you." Lu Guogong dropped a sentence and turned to leave, as for Cheng Dong's arrangement, he believed that the big housekeeper would do a good job.

The chief housekeeper and others hurriedly responded, and no one doubted Lu Guogong's words, and that one definitely did what he said.

The civil strife in the Lu Guogong Mansion that Fang Xu was looking forward to opened in a way that Fang Xu couldn't imagine, and it continued in a way that Fang Xu couldn't imagine, and at this time Fang Xu was still thinking about how to become a general.

Early the next morning, before dawn, the rooster had only crowed twice, and Fang Xu was woken up from bed by Ming An, on the grounds that he was going to go to the court today to thank him.

Yesterday, I rewarded such a big official, so I have to go to the palace anyway, from the third-grade official, I am qualified to go to the court to thank you.

"Didn't you let me go out today?" Fang Xu, who didn't want to get up and kowtow to the palace, asked a boring nonsense.

Ming An didn't explain, pulled Fang Xu to the bath bucket, and bathed the young master first.

When you enter the palace, you have to do a good job of etiquette, and you can't let people grab the handle.

Now that someone wants to harm the young master, Ming'an is now extremely cautious, not only to prevent others from making secret moves, but also to prevent others from making open moves, in short, not to give bad guys a chance.

It was only then that Fang Xu was ready, and at this time, Fang Xu was refreshed from head to toe, and the general was also waiting in the courtyard.

Seeing Fang Xu walk out, his eyes lit up, and then he frowned and said, "Can you walk well?" Don't shake your shoulders, don't have an awkward buttocks, you are entering the palace today to thank you. ”

Between the words, you don't have to pretend, you can enter the palace and behave well, you can't say that you can enter the emperor's eyes, and they all say that they learn the literary and martial arts and the emperor's family.

Don't look at the emperor persecuting the general so much, the general's thinking is still loyal to the monarch and patriotism, and he doesn't dare to have two hearts.

"Yes." Fang Xu shrugged his shoulders, learned the posture of the Qipin County Order in the play, took a step and shook it, shaking his official authority.

Jing Yan covered his eyes and said with a smile: "Young master, uncle doesn't walk like this. ”

"Of course, my father must be a dragon and a tiger, I'm not imitating the Qipin County Order." Fang Xu smiled, shook his head, and the flower feathers on the official hat shook for a while.

"Xianggong, it's not early, let's go and say hello to my father as soon as possible." The general reminded that looking at the sky, there could be no further delay.

"Well, let's go." Fang Xu raised his head and walked forward, and after walking a few steps, he naturally shook his shoulders and walked in a squirming posture.

The general frowned when he saw it, he didn't understand what Fang Xu was thinking in his heart, what a good opportunity to perform, if he could enter the emperor's eyes, it would be a smooth step.

If you don't have talent, it's just that, this Fang Xu is a talented person, he has to push it out when he has the opportunity, he can't see through it, he can't understand it, Wu Anbo Mansion is too strange.

When the group came to the front hall, Wu Anbo was already waiting there, and when the two of them finished saluting, Wu Anbo looked Fang Xu's clothes up and down, nodded with satisfaction, and set off with the two of them.

Fang Xu rubbed his nose and followed behind with a smile, it was the first time in two lifetimes to see the emperor to participate in a court meeting, and he was actually a little expectant in his heart, I don't know if it was like what was shown on TV.

Out of the mansion, the street was very quiet and dim, Xiao Si of Wu Anbo's Mansion led the way with a lantern, Wu Anbo got into the carriage, and Fang Xu and the general rode with him.

Fang Xu looked around, suddenly approached the general's side, and asked in a low voice, "Are you the Hubu Shangshu who took advantage of the night to sneak attack?" ”
