Chapter 6: Murder with a Knife (3)

Three

Lu Yingong didn't know that death was already approaching him step by step, and he was still preparing for his own Zen concession. Although he was very nostalgic for the throne of king, his determination to choose to retreat was never wavered.

It was early winter, and according to the old custom, he wanted to worship Zheng Guo's doctor Yin.

When Lu Yingong was a teenager, Ji Xi, who was a son, participated in the battle of Zheng Guo's army, but because the Lu army was not inferior to Zheng Jun at that time, Ji Xi became a prisoner of Zheng Jun. According to the policy of the Zheng army at that time, whichever general captured a prisoner was assigned to the general's subordinates as slaves or was executed by the general. So Ji Xi became a slave of the Yin family, the doctor of Zheng Guo. Zheng Guo's doctor Yin found that Ji Xi's bearing was extraordinary, and when he asked carefully, it turned out to be the son of Lu Guo, so he had compassion. took good care of Ji Xi and promised to send him back to China. So he sent someone to send a letter to Lu Huigong, and Lu Huigong transferred to send someone to send a big gift to Zheng Guo's doctor Yin, and took away Gongzi Ji Xi.

So this son, Ji Xi, relied on his identity and also lost the ambiguous heart of the Yin family, so that he got rid of the bad luck of being a slave or being beheaded. Lu Yin Gong is a person who pays attention to righteousness, never forgets the grace of saving lives, and after returning to China, he will symbolize the family god of the Yin family tree in a secret enshrinement in a place, and will go to worship every festival to show the grace of salvation. This place is very close to the minister's house, so every winter when he goes to worship, he goes to the minister's house to sit, the family is hospitable, it is rare for the monarch to have time to come to his home, so he will be good for wine and hospitality, and make room for Lu Yingong to rest.

On this day, Lu Yin Gong carried out an annual worship activity as in previous years, because it was a private matter, so Lu Yin Gong only had a few personal entourages around him, he came to the place to worship the Yin family, and after the worship, he lived in the house of the nearby minister Yuan, and the Huang family was warmly entertained as usual. Everything seems to be normal, but just when the wine was half-drunk, the person who looked like the servant of the Zong family, approached Lu Yingong with the dish, suddenly pulled out the short dagger from his sleeve, and inserted the short dagger into Lu Yingong's heart with a knife in his hand, killing Lu Yingong on the spot.

All this was directed by Ji Hui. Ji Hui selected a few masters and secretly assigned tasks. Just when the Hui family was happily accompanying Lu Yingong's banquet, several masters went to the kitchen in the backyard of the Hui family and controlled the masters in the back kitchen. Then a master dressed as a servant of the food, unknowingly infiltrated the banquet hall, approached Lu Xugong, killed Lu Yingong with a fatal knife. Just when the Hui family was in chaos, the doorman came to report that General Ji Hui's brigade had surrounded the Hui family.

Pity this minister of the Zhu clan, how did he know that because of his personal relationship with Lu Yingong, he was replaced by the crime of beheading.

After Ji Hui's men and horses arrived, they murdered Lu Yingong and beheaded him all over the house, leaving no buds.

This year is 711 BC, the ninth year of King Huan of Zhou, and also the first year of Lu Huan.

Ji Hui, the son who carefully planned and killed Lu Yingong, was not affected in any way, continued to control the military power of Lu State, and became the Dazai of the Lu State as he wished. Although the prince Ji Yun succeeded to the throne and was called Lu Huangong, he was infamous as "killing the monarch" in the history of the Spring and Autumn Period. For a period of time, relations around the country of Lu were tense.
