Chapter 252: The Prime Minister is killed
It's not a day, it's a dead night. At the time of Hai, two shifts have been played.
In the study of the Lu Mansion, Lu Shilang was writing at the desk, just for the purpose of dispatching troops tomorrow. The flame of the candle that had been lit a moment ago was gradually dimming, and the wick of the candle had been poured into the wax.
A cold wind blew in from the window, and the candles danced with it, making the moonlight reflected in the house even brighter.
Suddenly, there was a laugh, and a voice came from afar: Lu Cheng Xiangguo is a respectful person, and he is here.
Hearing this, Lu Shilang raised his head to look at the window and said, "Since you are here, please come in." lest I go out to meet him.
Another burst of laughter. The wind outside the window stopped, and the sound of the wind cracking was not heard. But the door was opened.
I saw a person dressed in red, walking into the house.
Lu Shilang never thought that the person who came to assassinate him would be dressed in red, let alone masked, and he looked like a handsome young man.
Lu Shilang said: Looking at the son's dress, he must not be an ordinary person. The old man has something to ask?
Chu Yun found a chair everywhere and sat down, listened to the question, and replied: Prime Minister, please speak.
Lu Shilang said: The person who assassinated me last time was sent by you?
Chu Yun replied: I sent it.
After listening, Lu Shilang said again: But is it related to the border war?
Chu Yun smiled and said, "The prime minister is really strategic.
Lu Shilang said: It's not that the old man has a strategy, it's just that the war on the border has been suspended, and you have come again and again, even if the old man doesn't guess, he can understand the general idea.
After listening to the words, Chu Yun said with a smile: There are many Xifeng generals, not only you, Marshal Lu. But only assassinated you, why don't you think about it at this moment, how about it?
Lu Shilang looked at him and said, "I want to hear about it."
Chu Yun listened and said: The prime minister doesn't want to say it, so it's okay if he doesn't listen to it, but only the prime minister himself knows the reason.
Lu Shilang said: Since this is the case, there is no need to say anything.
Chu Yundao: The prime minister is right, at this point, there is naturally no need to say more. However, when it comes to those guards who roam around your mansion wantonly, they really don't dare to compliment, and they are all vulnerable.
When Lu Shilang heard this, he asked: You killed them all?
Chu Yun replied: In order not to disturb the other people in the mansion, I had no choice but to do so. What's more, for them, life and death are just commonplace. It's the prime minister, but he has the intention of making allies, but he can't bear to kill him.
Lu Shilang sneered and said: You are a talent, but you don't want to be an enemy bandit. If you want to kill me today, how can you talk about making friends? Even if he has intentions, the old man will never be the traitorous villain who collaborates with the enemy and treason!
Listening to Lu Shilang's words, Chu Yun thought that this was indeed the case, and he had concluded that this would be the result long before he came.
Chu Yun said with a smile: Despite this, it is really a pity that Xifeng will lose a marshal.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Chu Yun turn into a touch of red and move with the breeze. Before anyone could turn around to respond, he had already fled behind Lu Shilang, and a sharp knife flashed out from under his clothes, stabbing Lu Shilang's neck.
The next day, the housekeeper came to the study to invite someone, and when he saw that Lu Shilang had been assassinated and killed, he panicked instantly. Escaped from the study for a while and ran to the main bedroom.
The housekeeper ran all the way, panicked, bumped into many people on the road, and finally arrived at the courtyard where Mrs. Lu lived. When he entered the courtyard gate, the girls saw that he looked flustered and depressed, and they forgot to say hello and stood still, suspicious in their hearts.
Xu entered the master's courtyard, and remembered that there must be no presumptuousness, so the housekeeper slowed down. Walking through the courtyard, I saw the big girl who was serving Mrs. Lu walking out of the house with something, so she quickly stepped forward and stretched out her hand to stop the person, and asked, "Madame is up?"
When the big girl saw that it was the housekeeper, she replied: I just got up, and I was washing.
The housekeeper nodded, thought for a while and said, "I have something urgent to say, and it's not easy to get in." You will help me to bring it in and speak it to Madame.
The big girl said: I still have something to do. The housekeeper is still waiting in the courtyard, and when the lady is done washing, let them lead you in.
When the butler heard this, he hurriedly said, "You can't wait for this!"
As he spoke, he snatched something from her hand. When the big girl saw it, she was anxious, reached out to grab it back, and said: Don't embarrass me!
At this moment, the sound of scrambling reached the house. Mrs. Lu, who was grooming, frowned and said, "What's the matter outside?"
The girls who were waiting on the side naturally heard it, and a few of them had already glanced through the window, so they replied: The housekeeper is here, and he has already entered the courtyard, as if he is talking to the girl.
Mrs. Lu listened and said, "Okay, go and ask the housekeeper to come in."
As he spoke, he got up from the dressing table and said, "Okay, let's change your clothes."
Then look at the girl who came out of the house, and go out to them. When the butler saw a girl coming out of the house, and was coming to him again, he looked at the girl. I saw that the girl approached, first took the things from the butler's hand and handed them back to the previous girl, sent her away, and then looked at the butler, and said with a smile: The butler must not make any more trouble, Madame asked me to invite you in.
When the housekeeper heard this, he knew that he was annoyed by his master. But now it's different, and I can't care about it so much. Nodding his head, he said, "Then let's go in quickly."
The girl listened to the words, thinking about Fang Cai's situation, and felt strange. He didn't say anything, but only brought the man into the house.
The two of them came into the house, and after the girl said something to tell the housekeeper to wait for a moment, she turned and walked to the inner bedroom. After a while, I saw Mrs. Lu coming from the inside.
Because he was entangled with the girl and was afraid that the lady would blame him, the housekeeper only stood still with his head bowed. Seeing that Mrs. Lu was getting closer, Fang Cai knelt down and said: The slave has something urgent to tell Mrs.
Mrs. Lu asked, "What's the matter?"
When the butler heard this, he leaned down and bowed his head, and said, "Madam, the old man has been killed!"
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Lu was stunned in place, and asked intermittently: What are you talking about?
The housekeeper knelt on his knees and said, "Madam, the master has been in the study last night, and after the second watch, the master asked the servants to go back to sleep, and the master is left alone in the study." This morning, the servant thought that the old man should go to the morning court, so he went to the study, and when he entered the door, he saw that the old man had been killed.
After hearing these words, Mrs. Lu was exhausted, exhausted, and sad, and her face was full of tears in an instant.
Mrs. Lu cried tiredly, fell on the bed, and was unconscious, and the girls were even more messy, some were waiting closely, and some hurriedly went out to call the little maid to let her go out of the house to ask for a doctor. Although this matter has not spread, the people saw that the big girl beside the lady looked panicked and ownerless, and then looked at the housekeeper was also in such a situation.
Mrs. Lu can't do anything here, and the young master is not in the mansion, and now he can still do something in this mansion. After all, the housekeeper is the old man in the house, and he was somewhat frightened before he messed up, and this time he came back to his senses, and saw that the people were not doing things in their respective posts, and did some things like stealing chickens and touching dogs, so he called a few powerful stewards, and used some strength to clean up the people in the house.
Even so, only the next day.
Prime Minister Lu was assassinated in the study, and he left quickly. In the streets and alleys of the imperial city and even in the teahouses and brothels, people are lobbying from side to side.
