Chapter 257: Inquiry
Long before Lu Lingqi left Hongnong, she had heard versions of two cases.
The first one is the official version that Gao Shun told her.
According to this account, Hua Xing went to denounce Wang Yun that day, and happened to run into an assassin arranged by Wang Yun.
In other words, Lu Bu's death had nothing to do with Huaxing, and Lu Bu died under Wang Yun's calculations.
The second version is Chen Gong's personal speculation.
Chen Gong believes that Hua Xing and Wang Yun are the same dog, and they went to Lu Bu with the same purpose.
In the end, although Lu Bu died at the hands of the "guard assassin", Huaxing also played a role in fueling the flames and was considered an accomplice in this case.
However, because Chen Gong's remarks did not have any evidence, and Huaxing's prestige among Lu Bujun was relatively high, not many people believed it.
Including Lu Bu's biological daughter Lu Lingqi, she didn't believe it after listening to it at the time, thinking that Chen Gong was deliberately framing the other party.
It wasn't until she left Hongnong to meet Zuo Feng and was "annexed" by Huaxingjun that she gradually realized that Chen Gong's speculation was likely to be true!
Because she was in the village of Yuanyuan, she saw with her own eyes the woman who had been allowed by the king to marry her father-Diao Chan!
Regarding this Diao Chan girl, as the daughter of Lu Bu, Lu Lingqi has heard of it for a long time.
Not only did she know that this woman was the concubine that Wang allowed her father to give, but she also knew that this was a discordant plan planned by Wang Yun, wanting to use her beauty to provoke the relationship between Huaxing and her father.
In the previous "confession", Huaxing had made it clear that although Wang Yun intended to marry Diao Chan to himself, because he had no good impression of Diao Chan, he rejected the other party on the spot and did not fall for it.
This is why he was later able to see through Wang Yun's plan and escorted the other party to the Lu Mansion.
But the current situation is that Diao Chan not only appeared in the village of Yuanyuan, but also lived in the same courtyard as Huaxing! It feels like a couple of people, which is very different from Huaxing's previous confession.
After discovering this, Lu Lingqi suddenly realized.
Only then did she realize that Huaxing must have been lying before.
If he really has nothing to do with Diao Chan, it is impossible for Diao Chan to leave his home in Luoyang and not return, but come to such a small village with Huaxing!
This also shows that Chen Gong's inference is very likely to be true, and Huaxing was indeed involved in the killing of his father.
As for the motive, it couldn't be more obvious, and it must have something to do with the sable cicada.
"General Hua, we Mingren don't say secret words, you claimed that you were not ruthless with Diao Chan before, but now she lives in the same courtyard with you, how do you explain this matter? Although I, Lu Lingqi, am not as smart as you, I am not so blind! You tell me the truth, did you kill my father because of her? ”
To be honest, Huaxing actually didn't want to deceive Lu Lingqi.
But judging from the other party's attitude, if he doesn't give a credible reason, it will be really difficult for him to escape this matter today.
Therefore, in order not to let the other party continue to be entangled in this way, Huaxing, who could not disclose the truth, simply nodded, followed the other party's meaning, and opened his mouth to "admit" the matter:
"Alas! Since I was discovered by the girl, I won't hide it. The girl is right, I did have a conflict with General Lu because of Diao Chan and betrayed the general. I hope for the girl...... Excuse me. ”
It stands to reason that after listening to Huaxing's words, Lu Lingqi should have been angry and angry.
Unexpectedly, Lu Lingqi, who was standing opposite, did not show too much hatred, but sighed with a regretful face:
"Alas! Sure enough, it's a hero who is sad to pass the beauty pass! Even General Hua, who is extremely intelligent, cannot escape the temptation of beauty......"
After shaking her head regretfully, Lu Lingqi continued:
However, the general does not need to apologize. I know that this is all a beauty plan designed by Wang Yun's thief, and you and my father are actually victims of this matter. If you want to blame Wang Yun, you can only blame Wang Yun for being too sinister and using such indiscriminate tricks to frame you......"
Hearing Lu Lingqi say this, Hua Xing realized that what he just said seemed to be a big suspicion.
While admitting that it was because of the conflict between Diao Chan and Lu Bu, it was tantamount to putting most of the blame on the "mastermind" Wang Yun.
Although this is not Huaxing's original intention, but saying it is like pouring water, and now it must not be recovered, Huaxing can only continue according to this way:
"Well, it was too reckless to do it at first, alas! So, then, does the girl really not hate me? ”
If you want to talk about hate, of course Lu Lingqi has hate.
She not only hated Hua Xing's betrayal, but also hated Hua Xing for killing her father because of a woman.
This is why she has been in the Huaxing Army for so long, but she has always refused to recognize Huaxing.
However, after a few months of precipitation, now Lu Lingqi has figured out a truth:
Although Huaxing had murderous intentions, he failed to succeed after all.
If you have to classify it, he is actually no different from those challengers who have made moves with Lu Bu, they are all poor guys who want to take the other party's life, but in the end they fail.
It would indeed be unfair to blame him for the crime of "murderer" because of this.
Moreover, in Lu Lingqi's view, Huaxing was betrayed by Wang Yun's discordant scheme.
In the whole thing, he is, at best, a "weapon" that fails to achieve its goal.
If a person is killed, what's the point of a monster weapon?
Therefore, although Huaxing's move is hateful, it is not a deep hatred for Lu Lingqi.
The resentment buried in her heart has also diminished little by little with the passage of time, and until today, there is not much left.
As for the real murderer in this case, there are only two people in Lu Lingqi's heart:
One was the dead mastermind Wang Yun, and the other was the hateful guard who pierced Lu Bu's chest with a long sword. These two guys are the ones she really resents.
"Alas!"
After a sigh, I heard Lu Lingqi say again:
"Since you have been misled, there is nothing to hate. This thing...... Just let it pass. ”
Although Hua Xing is not the real culprit in this case, he has always believed that Lu Bu's death has a great relationship with him. When facing Lu Lingqi, his heart was also full of guilt.
What is surprising is that Lu Lingqi was so magnanimous in this matter, not only did she not hold a grudge against herself, but also offered to expose the matter.
After hearing this, Huaxing was really full of emotion, and his eyes were full of complexity:.
"Girl, is this, this true? But I, I ......."
"General Hua, the little girl said that she doesn't care anymore, how can you be a big man and still have a mother-in-law? What's wrong? Do you have to ask me for your life before you are satisfied? ”
