Chapter 23 Before entering the palace
Duke Lu ignored the few people who were kneeling down, and his eyes fell tightly on Cheng Dong. Cheng Dong looked really miserable at this time.
The shoulder on the right sags weakly, and it is obvious that it has been seriously injured. The whole body is blue and purple, and the whip marks are densely packed.
The skin on the body was lifted up by the inverted hooks on the whip, and the blood dripped down the torn clothes and merged into a piece, bright red and particularly dazzling.
After all, it was a father-son relationship. Although Duke Lu didn’t have a deep relationship with this concubine, he couldn’t help but his pupils contracted when he saw Cheng Dong’s miserable appearance.
The son of a dignified Duke was beaten like this by his servants. It was unimaginable that Cheng Dong was his son no matter how dandy Cheng Dong was, he was still his son. Does the Duke's Mansion still have him to eat in one bite?
"Who gave you the right to punish the young master?" Duke Lu's majestic face was full of anger, and his voice was filled with a strong murderous intent.
As Duke Lu came in, the butler led people forward with a wink, and then ordered Xiao Si to invite the doctor.
I was afraid that Chengdong would have a good life, and the Duke's Mansion would set off a big wave.
"Say!" Duke Lu turned a blind eye to the butler's actions and shouted loudly. The second butler and the few people were so scared that their bodies trembled even more violently, and their heads kept knocking to the ground.
"Second butler, tell me." Duke Lu's eyes fell on the second butler. He knew that the second butler was his wife's confidant, and he was deeply happy with his wife.
"Here." The second housekeeper pressed his head to the ground and replied in a trembling voice: "Little, the little man doesn't know. The little man just came to check it out. Yes, it was the order given by his wife."
Speaking of this, the second housekeeper pointed his hand and pointed at the short man kneeling not far from the Xingjia, saying, "The villain was not present at that time, and Liu San was present."
The short man wanted to kill the second housekeeper when he heard this. There were so many people here, why did he just point him? The others were there at that time!
Of course, the short man would definitely not understand, so he just pointed at him because he worked hardest when he was punished and beat the second young master the most fiercely.
Duke Lu had a gloomy face, and the gazes of the hawks and falcons shot at the short man, and the short man was sweating and sweating, and he was no longer as arrogant and vicious as before.
There is no need to be punished, and a short man sold Duke Lu's wife to the bottom. Compared to his wife, it is even more terrifying to be a Duke.
After listening to the explanation, Duke Lu turned his eyes to Cheng Dong's hand. The butler also noticed Cheng Dong's hand, stepped forward and checked carefully, and looked up and said:
"Master, the second young master is really good at martial arts, and I see that there are calluses on his fingers, so I'm afraid he's holding a pen a lot."
This statement is equivalent to confirming the speculation of Duke Lu's wife. This kid has been hiding himself and is not as playful as he is.
And he was also very clear about why he wanted to hide his strength. This was self-protection. He almost was destroyed by someone before he could see that his strength had just been revealed.
Duke Lu's face was gloomy and gloomy. After a while, he suddenly spoke: "All these servants who deceived the master were killed, the second housekeeper was demoted from his post and cleaned the cottage."
"Here." Someone outside took the order, and then a team of guards came in, dragging the short men and leaving, leaving them without any mercy.
The second housekeeper knelt there and thanked him. He would take it off and he would take it back. If he had a chance to take it back in the future, he would have no chance. It would be really dangerous.
"If you dare to reveal a little about what happened today, come and see you." Duke Lu left a sentence and turned around and left. As for how Cheng Dong arranged it, he believed that the butler would do it well.
The butler and others quickly responded, but no one suspected Duke Lu's words. He definitely did what he said.
The civil strife in Duke Lu's mansion that Fang Xu was looking forward to was opened in a way that Fang Xu could not imagine, and continued in a way that Fang Xu could not imagine. At this time, Fang Xu was still thinking about how to become a general.
The next morning, before dawn, the chicken cried twice, and Fang Xu was woken up from the bed by Ming'an, because he was going to court today to thank him.
I was awarded such a big official yesterday, so I had to go to the palace no matter how hard I was. As a third-rank official, I am qualified to go to court to thank me.
"Aren't you not let me go out today?" Fang Xu, who didn't want to get up and go into the palace to kowtow, asked boring nonsense.
Mingan didn't explain, and pulled Fang Xu to the bathtub and took a bath for the young master first.
When entering the palace, you have to do a good job of etiquette and not let someone catch a handle.
Now that someone wants to harm the young master, Ming'an is very careful in doing things now, not only guarding against others using secret tricks, but also guarding against others using explicit tricks. In short, he cannot give bad people a chance.
After struggling until the fourth update, Fang Xu was ready. At this time, Fang Xu was completely renewed from head to toe, and the general was also waiting in the yard.
Seeing Fang Xu walk out, his eyes lit up, and then he frowned and said, "Can you walk well? Don't shake your shoulders and your butts are awkward. You are entering the palace today to thank you."
In the end, you don’t have to pretend. You can express yourself well when you enter the palace. You can’t say that you can get to the emperor’s eyes. It’s said that you learned the civil and military skills and the imperial family.
Although the emperor forced the general so much, the general's idea was to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism, and he did not dare to have a second thought.
"Yes." Fang Xu shrugged and learned the walking posture of the seventh-rank county magistrate in the opera. He took a step and shook his power, and he was shaking his official power.
Jingyan covered her 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 am imitating the seventh-rank county magistrate." Fang Xu smiled, shook his head, and the flower feather on the official hat shook.
"My husband, it's not too early, so I'd better go and pay my respects to my father early." The general reminded, look at the sky and you can't delay any more.
"Yeah, let's go." Fang Xu raised his head and walked forward with his chest out. After walking for a few steps, he naturally shook his shoulders and walked into a playboy position.
The general frowned and didn't understand what Fang Xu was thinking. What a good opportunity to perform. If he could get to the emperor's eyes, it would be Pingbu Qingyun.
It would be fine if he didn't have talent. Fang Xu is a talented person. He still has to push out even if he has the chance. He can't see through or understand it. It's so strange that Wu'an Bo Mansion is.
The group came to the front hall, and Wu Anbo was already waiting there. When the two of them finished their salute, Wu Anbo looked up and down at Fang Xu's clothes, nodded with satisfaction, and took them off.
Fang Xu rubbed his nose and followed with a smile. He saw the emperor attending a grand ceremony for the first time in two lives. He was a little expectant in his heart, and I wonder if it was like it was on TV.
After leaving the mansion, the street was very quiet and dim. Xiao Si from Wu'an Bo's Mansion led the way with a lantern. Wu'an Bo got into the carriage, and Fang Xu and the general rode on horseback.
Fang Xu looked around, then suddenly approached the general and asked in a low voice: "You are the Minister of Revenue who attacked the Ministry of Revenue through the night."
