King of Song

Chapter 317 Natural Vision
"Lu Heqing?"

After hearing the report, the iron-faced suzerain was quite curious and asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, the steward surnamed Ke is in a panic, just to see Lu Heqing. He is a censor and the younger brother of Lu Huiqing, the Minister of Agriculture."

"Is he the one who murdered the young master?" The expression on the face of the iron-faced suzerain gradually became a little cold, and the anger gradually became stronger.

"It should be. The subordinates have already investigated. The death of Lu Heqing's elder brother Lu Shengqing is somewhat related to the young master."

"Revenge?" The Iron Masked Sect Master sneered again.

"It should be their own fault! After the Hangzhou flood, they hoarded food, but they were defeated by the young master, and Lu Shengqing died because of it."

Now, Lin Zhao's CV is well known to the Sect Master, so as long as these things are mentioned, he will know them all.Young master is right, Lu Shengqing must die.

"Is there anything else?" The iron-faced suzerain asked in a deep voice. After touching the melon along the vine, it should be revenge, but this revenge must be targeted.

"Recently, Lu Huiqing has been very close to Wang Anshi's son, Wang Yu, and Wang Anshi and Li Fugui are also good friends. This time, they are even more supportive of Li Fugui..."

This subordinate did not continue, but the iron-faced suzerain already understood.Things are a bit complicated here, but it is also logical.

No wonder there is so much energy. It turns out that these two are the ones who are in charge. There is a complete alliance of interests between them, and the purpose can't be clearer.

Wang Yu participated, so what about Wang Anshi?The iron-faced suzerain was very concerned about this issue, and couldn't help but whispered: "Wang Jiefu, the former master used to be very useful to you back then. Are you going to be ungrateful?"

If so, what about the plan for revenge?Naturally, Wang Anshi's son can't move lightly, and Lu Huiqing is also in an important position right now, so it's hard to make big moves.

The iron-faced suzerain doesn't want it to be because revenge leaked his own possessions and strength, which would affect the son's safety and future plans. At least for now, he must be careful.Of course, Ren was calm for a while, but he didn't wait to just give in, he had to give them some color.

Since Wang Yu and Lu Huiqing couldn't move lightly, they could only wrong Lu Heqing!The instigator is to blame himself, no wonder others!

Manager Ke came to look for Lu Heqing, and as one can imagine, he was scolded bloody.

Lu Heqing was naturally very annoyed when his success fell short, and there was nothing he could do after yelling and cursing. He still had to think of ways to deal with the aftermath.

It’s just that something has already happened, and it’s impossible to completely eliminate the impact. It can only be handled as beautifully as possible, so that no one can see the flaws, and it’s not bad if you don’t implicate yourself.

At the same time, it is necessary to report the news to the elder brother and Wang Yu in time.Although it is bad news, as usual, they still have to let them know that there are still plans for the next step, and at the same time prevent some other problems.

It was precisely because of this that Lu Heqing left Yushitai in a hurry, preparing to return home.

But unfortunately, the weather suddenly became very gloomy before leaving, just like the feeling before a summer thunderstorm.

After all, it was winter, and Lu Heqing didn't take it seriously, but it started to rain while walking on the road.

Strange to say, it is already winter, and it is reasonable to snow.Perhaps because the temperature is not low enough, it is still raining.

The rain was nothing more than that, and it was getting heavier and heavier, just like a thunderstorm in summer.As a result, the traffic on the road is bound to be hindered.

"Damn weather!" Lu Heqing couldn't help cursing a few words, because there was something urgent, he had to go back as soon as possible.I had no choice but to rush on my way in the heavy rain.

In such weather, the road is muddy, and the car travels far, the result can be imagined!

The heavy rain came suddenly, and the roads in Bianjing soon became flooded, making the roads a little muddy.The early winter was already cold, and the rain made the weather even colder and more humid. Pedestrians on the street dodged to avoid the rain, so there were no people there.

When Lu Heqing went out, although the weather was gloomy, he did not expect such heavy rain at all.I thought it would be drizzle at most, or a few snowflakes.

Unexpectedly, when walking halfway, it suddenly encountered heavy rain.stop?But I was a little anxious in my heart, and I didn't want to waste more time.

Besides, isn't it just raining?Just hurry on as usual, anyway, he was sitting in a carriage sheltered from the wind and rain.As for the coachman and house slaves, it's okay to get a little rain, at worst, they will be rewarded with some money after they go back.Those who are superior to him will not take the servants in their eyes casually.

It's just that since the wind and rain are coming, his journey home is doomed to be difficult!
The road was muddy, and the carriage got stuck in the mud twice. It took a lot of effort for the horses pulling the carriage and the coachman's servants to drag the carriage out. The journey was not very smooth.

Maybe it was because of the difficult road, or because of the thick fog caused by the heavy rain, they didn't notice that there was a carriage behind and several pedestrians trailing behind.

It is inevitable to cross the Bian River to go home from Yushitai. At this time, due to the rain, the water level of the Bian River has skyrocketed a lot.The few boats on the river have already docked to avoid the water, but the Bian Bridge on the river has not been affected at all, but there are not many people on the bridge.

Finally on the Bianhe River, I will go home soon.At this time, Lu Heqing still couldn't help cursing: "Damn the weather is really abominable!"

The coachman and the accompanying house servants were exhausted, they just held the carriage steadily and didn't care about other things.

At this time, the carriage behind suddenly accelerated and rushed up.Just when Lu's servant looked back curiously, a spear popped out of the other's car window, aimed at Lu's horse pulling the carriage, and stabbed fiercely.Meanwhile, several stones have been thrown under the wheel.

The poor horse suffered from the pain, and suddenly became frantic, and ran suddenly, Lu Heqing in the carriage was shocked.I only felt that the shaking was very violent. When I was about to yell and curse, I only felt that the car body suddenly swayed again.

what happened?

Lu Heqing was about to look out the window just now, but suddenly heard the neighing of the horse, the body of the carriage shook, and suddenly began to fall!
From the gap in the window, he saw the rainbow-like shape of Bianqiao, and it passed by in a flash!

Lu Heqing clearly knew that he was currently walking on the Bian Bridge, so the sudden fall now could only be - fall into the river!
The moment he just reacted, the carriage had already plummeted into the river, causing a big wave.Immediately, icy river water poured in from the doors, windows and gaps, rushing towards him.

The carriage is made of wood, and the wood can float, but suddenly a large amount of water floods into a relatively airtight wooden box, and there are many other things on the carriage, can it still float?

Lu Heqing only felt that the icy river water kept rushing towards him, at first it was icy cold, and then the river water kept filling the small space in the carriage.

He only felt that the air was getting less and less, gradually sinking.Lu Heqing struggled anxiously, the cold river water kept pouring into his mouth and nose, and his breathing became more and more rapid and difficult.In the end, when the river was completely over his head, he couldn't breathe at all.

The brothers Lu and Qing are from the south, and their ancestral home is in central Fujian, where the people usually know how to swim.But the Lu family is an official family with a family of poems and books, and the young master may not be able to swim.

It was useless even if he could, the river was so fast that the doors and windows of the carriage were closed.Under the strong pressure of the river, the doors and windows could not be opened at all, and they could not escape at all.

Ever since, Lu Heqing could only fall into despair while struggling and fell into the river.

At this time, he thought of a lot.Is it an accident?Or retribution?

I just planned how to murder Lin Zhao yesterday, but I didn't expect that Lin Zhao was safe and sound, but I...was it God's punishment for harming others?The sudden heavy rain seems to be a good proof!
It's a pity that he never had a chance to think about the answer. When the carriage completely sank in the river, Lu Heqing struggled for the last time, and then he didn't move anymore, and fell asleep in the Bian River forever.

The coachman and a few followers struggled to get to the shore, but suddenly a stone flew in and stunned them, and then sank into the river, following in the footsteps of their master.

On the Bian Bridge, several people looked at the people who gradually disappeared into the Bian River, and snorted coldly: "It's not that we are cruel, it's just that you followed the wrong master and became accomplices!"

"Hmph, if you intend to murder the young master, you will take the blame, it is unforgivable!"

At this time, the heavy rain was pouring, stirring up clouds of water mist. From a distance, only the shadows on the Bian Bridge could be seen, and it was impossible to see what happened.

Maybe some people noticed that a carriage fell into the river, but they all took it for granted that it was an accident...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the same time, Lu Huiqing and Wang Yu were standing in a room as warm as spring, and the red stove had already been lit.

Even so, Wang Yu still couldn't help coughing repeatedly.Lu Huiqing glanced at it quite disdainfully, then shook her head secretly, how long will a tuberculosis ghost live?

After coughing violently, Wang Yu said, "It's snowing, why is it raining so much?"

"Yes, it's unreasonable!" Lu Huiqing echoed.

This is true, it does not conform to common sense!

The city of Bianjing is by the Yellow River. In later generations, it should be snowing in late November in the Gregorian calendar.Of course, maybe it rained, but it was slightly different in the Song Dynasty.

It will belong to a small ice age, and the temperature will be lower than that of later generations.You must know that Taihu Lake in the Song Dynasty would freeze in winter, and after winter, the Bian River and canals would freeze, making it impassable for ships.

Therefore, it is indeed time for snow in Bianjing this season, but today is indeed an exception.Even if it rains, the rain in winter should be drizzle, and it will definitely not be as heavy as today.

Strange, really strange!
Astronomical phenomena and weather are very important in ancient times, and they can also be used politically.For example, during the Renzong Dynasty, there was heavy rain in Bianjing for days, and Di Qing was slandered because of this.The reason why the story of Dou E's injustice is popular and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people is also related to this.

At this moment, the unusual heavy rain suddenly fell on Bianjing, does it also mean that there is something strange?

But what is special about Bianjing recently?It seems that only...

Lu Huiqing and Wang Yu looked at each other, and they both thought of Lin Zhao who was locked in the prison. Could it be related to him?
At this moment, both Wang Yu and Lu Huiqing are waiting for news!
Regardless of whether heavy rain has anything to do with him, the first thing is to determine Lin Zhao's life and death!
After some careful arrangements, the action was just last night, and I don't know what the situation is?
At the beginning, she waited patiently, but after a long time, Lu Huiqing gradually became anxious. Why didn't the third brother Lu Huiqing come back?
Could it be that the trip was delayed due to heavy rain?
Lu Huiqing was a little worried, and because she was in a hurry, she immediately gave orders, and some of her confidantes went out in the rain.

"Yuanze, let's have a cup of hot tea first, and then wait!"

"Alright!"

That's what I said, but Lu Huiqing suddenly felt flustered for no reason, and even fidgeted. Could it be because the desire to avenge my second brother was too urgent?
Not long after, the confidant servant came back, threw out the still dripping coir raincoat, and came in: "Da Lang, I arrived at Yushitai, and San Lang left before it rained. Maybe it was raining heavily on the way. Take shelter from the rain!"

"Perhaps! But..." Lu Huiqing knew the third brother better, and it stands to reason that he would not delay, even if it was raining, he would come back in time.

"Da Lang, there is something trivial that I don't know if I should talk about it or not?" The servant hesitated for a moment, hesitated to speak, and stopped talking.

"What's the matter? Just say it!"

"When I came back, I heard people say that a carriage fell from the Bian Bridge into the river, and the guards of Kaifeng Mansion are salvaging it!"

"what?"

Lu Huiqing was shocked suddenly, and an ominous premonition filled her heart.

"Brother Jifu, don't worry, Sanlang may just be sheltering from the rain somewhere, don't think too much about it!" Wang Yu thought that Lu Huiqing would be confused if he cared, but he didn't take it seriously. How could there be such a coincidence?
But Lu Huiqing's expression was solemn, and she was even a little worried. The third brother hadn't heard from her, and she felt this way in her heart, so it was really...

"Go, go and see!"

Lu Huiqing insisted on going, even if Wang Yu was not very happy, he had to go with him and go out in the rain.

When they arrived, the guards from Kaifeng Mansion had just salvaged the carriage.

In this era, there are usually family or government logos on the car body.Seeing the word "Lu" on the car, Lu Huiqing's heart skipped a beat, and her body immediately began to tremble.

Wang Yu's face was also cast a shadow, could it be that something really happened?At this moment, it really is...

Immediately, the carriage was lifted up by the guards of Kaifeng Mansion with great effort, the stagnant water inside continued to flow out, and the door of the carriage opened itself with a bang.

A corpse slipped out, who else could it be if it wasn't Lu Heqing?
what? !

Look at Lu Heqing's terrified expressions of struggling!Lu Huiqing suddenly collapsed, and threw herself on the ground, leaving behind Wang Yu, who was at a loss and kept coughing.

The servant of the Kaifeng Mansion thought it was an ordinary horse-drawn carriage that fell into the river, but he did not expect that it was the younger brother of Si Nong Shaoqing Lu Huiqing, and the deceased himself was a servant of Yushitai.The situation suddenly changed, the guards didn't dare to touch the bad luck, quietly retreated to the side, and continued to salvage the corpses in the river...

Over there, Lu Huiqing hugged his younger brother's body and was already crying. Even though he was cruel and cruel to the enemy, he still had a softer side after all.

It was his own younger brother who died at this moment. When Lu Shengqing died, he was not so sad and could hold it back.But at this moment... the two younger brothers who depended on each other are dead, and suddenly a special sense of loneliness hits my heart, which is extraordinarily sad.Some of the suppressed feelings in my heart are also vented, and I am so sad!
At this moment, the heavy rain has gradually diminished and gradually stopped.Many people passed by on the Bian Bridge, and they all watched Lu Huiqing crying heartbreakingly while hugging his brother's body, and many people were infected by this.After all, this is a very real sadness, and everyone can see how deep their brotherhood is...

Wang Yu was quite sad watching this scene, and at the same time felt deeply tired. How could an accident happen to Lu and Qing at such a critical time?

Was it really just an accident?
Immediately, Wang Yu called a Kaifeng government official over and asked, "Have you found out why the carriage fell into the river?"

The guards were quite respectful to the son of the prime minister, and replied: "It rained heavily at that time, maybe the horses were frightened and rushed over the Bian bridge..."

"Are you sure it was just an accident?"

"It's hard to say for the time being, it's possible! But there's something strange..."

"what?"

"The poor horse pulling the cart was injured. I don't know where it was when it fell into the river, or..."

The meaning behind the words was already obvious, Wang Yu's heart moved, and he ordered: "Continue to investigate and determine the cause of the fall into the river as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

Is it artificial?Immediately, a very bad premonition surged in Wang Yu's heart!If so, who could it be?Lu Heqing is going to...

Thinking of this, Wang Yu's heart suddenly trembled, could it be...

A terrible idea came to mind.

"You, come here!" Wang Yu called the Lu Jiading who had gone to Yushitai before, and asked, "What did you find out when you went to Yushitai? Is there anything special?"

This confidant was not ignorant, and he bowed and replied: "There is a dead person in the platform prison!"

"Dead? Who died?" There was a little excitement in Wang Yu's anxious words.

"A prisoner on death row committed suicide, and Lin Zhao was locked up opposite him. It is said that they have exchanged cells..."

Needless to say, Wang Yu is an extremely smart person, he understood everything at once, and leaned helplessly on the carriage.

Failed!
What's more, he lost his wife and lost his army, and lost a Lu Heqing!

Wang Yu no longer cared about how he failed, but felt terrible!At the same time, there is also a shocking sense of inferiority, is it true that I am not as good as him?Or is God really blessing him?
He is still in prison and can't do anything.I tried my best, but I still couldn't do anything to get him. Under such circumstances, I still suffered a lot, and this time I suffered a big loss...

Gosh!What exactly is going on?Is he that good?This is too unfair!The proud and arrogant Wang Yu is like a defeated rooster, physically and mentally exhausted, deeply exhausted and lost!

At the same time, a big question mark came to Wang Yu's mind again. Lin Zhao is still in prison, so who did these things?Could it be that there is someone else behind him?Is he the mastermind behind the scenes?

Know yourself and the enemy, and you will be safe in a hundred battles!
All of a sudden, Wang Yu felt that Lin Zhao was so strange, he didn't know him so well, almost knew nothing about him...
