Volume 1 The First Entry into the Three Kingdoms Chapter 114 Assassination of the Superintendent
It is said that after Lu Duyou came to Liangxiang, he was "warmly received" by the Liangxiang County Order.
After briefly inspecting the situation of the people in the county, eating the wine and food prepared by the county order, Lu Duyou complained and felt relieved for Liu Yi.
In the next few days, Lu Duyou did not hesitate to brave the scorching sun and personally visited the people's homes.
"You don't have to entertain me at the special banquet today, I have already ordered my subordinates to prepare to go back to restore their lives!"
Seeing that Lu Duyou said that he wanted to go back to restore his life, the county commander hurriedly asked people to prepare some accompanying dry food and bring them in.
Looking at the dry food made of coarse grains and wild vegetables, Lu Duyou complained bitterly. After a moment's hesitation, I took it.
"Come on, it's like scraping intestinal oil to lose weight!" Lu Duyou secretly comforted himself in his heart.
After bidding farewell to the county order, Lu Duyou and his entourage left the county government and prepared to go back.
I don't know if it's because the coarse tea and light rice in the past few days have not kept up with Lu Duyou's nutrition or because it was too hot and sunstroke, just a few steps out of the county office, Lu Duyou felt that it was dark in front of him and almost fell to the ground.
The subordinates around him were shocked when they saw this, and hurriedly helped Lu Duyou up, and the Liangxiang County Commander who escorted Lu Duyou and his party behind him also hurriedly ran up to check.
"Quickly carry the adults to the house!"
Under the orders of the county order, everyone wasted a lot of effort to carry the fat and strong Lu Duyou into the county office.
After a while, a barefoot medical worker hurried into the county office.
"How?" The Liangxiang County Commander asked the medical worker eagerly.
Hearing this, the medical worker replied respectfully, "Lord Hui, Lord Postmaster is fine, he only needs to recuperate for a few days!" ”
As if to verify the truth of what the medical worker said, before the medical worker could say the cause of the pathology, Lu Duyou coughed and woke up.
Seeing that Lu Duyou was fine, everyone was relieved.
Lu Duyou, who woke up, stretched his legs and feet, and felt that there was no discomfort, so he got up and sat up.
"It seems that this is the will of heaven and will not let me go!"
After sighing, Lu Duyou took out a small bag of coins from his arms and threw it to the Liangxiang County Order.
"I know that you are a clean official and don't have much money, so take this money to buy some good wine and meat!" Lu Duyou said angrily to the county order.
After taking the money bag thrown by Lu Duyou, the county magistrate hurriedly said, "The villain has been poor since he was a child, and he doesn't care about what to eat, please take back these coins!" ”
When Lu Duyou heard this, he was so angry that his beard stood up.
"I don't care if you eat it or not, I don't want to throw my two hundred pounds in this good country!"
Hearing Lu Duyou's scolding, the county magistrate realized that the money was for Lu Duyou to buy wine and food, and hurriedly responded and then took someone down to make arrangements.
Looking at the people who walked away, Lu Duyou couldn't help but scold, "After being a postal supervisor for so many years, I have to spend my own money to eat when I go out for the first time!" When I go back, I'll wait to knock Liu Yi's kid on a bamboo bar! ”
In this way, Lu Duyou, who was "weak" because of his recent lack of meat, had to postpone his plan to return to Zhuo County.
Just when Lu Duyou fainted and was carried into the mansion by everyone, in the inconspicuous alley in the distance, two people dressed in ordinary people's clothes were looking at everyone gloomily.
Near evening, a farmer's house in the corner of the county seat of Liangxiang County.
"Big brother, what should I do? It looks like the guy surnamed Lu won't be out of the city for a while."
"Wait and see!"
It was the ghost in the alley during the day who spoke
The two men who stared at everyone sneaky.
"Big brother, if it really doesn't work, let's do it in the city!"
Among the two, the person who was called the eldest brother was ruthless when he heard the words and agreed.
The two were Gongsun Zhan's guards, and they were very good and good at assassination, and after Gongsun Chan promised to kill Lu Duyou in front of his father-in-law Liu to vent his anger, he ordered the two to lurk in Zhuo County and wait for an opportunity to assassinate Lu Duyou.
However, the security in Zhuo County is extremely strict, and after lurking for several times without success and almost exposed, the two did not dare to try, so they thought about going back to ask Gongsun Zhan for guilt, but they had just stayed in Liangxiang for less than two days before they heard that Lu Duyou had also come to Liangxiang.
After the two regretted that they didn't stay outside Zhuoxian for two days, they secretly decided to do it on the way back from Lu Duyi.
Originally, the two of them were ready to do it on the road today, but who knew that Lu Duyou suddenly fell ill.
That night, Lu Duyou, who finally got his wish and ate good wine and meat, greedy for a few more glasses of wine during dinner, fell asleep after the alcohol hit his head.
The night was extremely hot, and Lu Duyou, who was fat and sweaty, deliberately opened all the doors and windows around the room to cool off before going to bed.
It was almost midnight, and the two assassins took advantage of the darkness to evade the county soldiers patrolling at night, and quietly touched the outside of the county government's mansion.
The Liangxiang County Yafu is not as good as Liu Yi's county guard's mansion, and there are only about 20 people in the mansion plus the government soldiers, and there are only two or three people who patrol the night on weekdays.
The two Assassins silently climbed over the high walls of the palace, bypassing a few soldiers who were patrolling the night to the backyard where everyone usually rested.
As soon as they entered the backyard, the two heard Lu Duyou's heavy snoring.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and then the man in the lead made a gesture to the two of them to go to the room where the snoring sound was coming from first.
The two of them approached the window of Lu Duyou's room, and saw that the doors and windows around them were open, and the two of them were overjoyed, and they took advantage of the night to look in, and vaguely saw an obese man lying on the bed.
As soon as they saw this size, the two recognized this person at once. At this time, there is no second person in the county mansion who can have such a physique, except for Lu Duyou.
After a brief exchange of gestures, the two approached the room.
At this time, Lu Duyou was still sleeping like a dead pig, and he didn't react at all to the imminent death.
The two Assassins did not hesitate and pounced.
Lu Duyou, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly felt that his mouth and nose were covered by someone, and he couldn't breathe, and just opened his eyes before he could react to what was going on, he saw a flash of cold light, and a dagger with a blade more than a foot long pierced into his chest.
Lu Duyou, who was covered with his mouth and nose, was brutally killed by the two before he could shout.
After the two killed Lu Duyou, they didn't stop, and they even prepared to cut off Lu Duyou's head with a knife, but Lu Duyou was too fat, and the two of them were busy for a long time and didn't cut off Lu Duyou's head.
In a fit of rage, one of them violently sawed off Lu Duyou's neck bone with such a pull of his hand, but because of the excessive force, his arm did not have time to retract his strength, and the man knocked over the oil lamp on the table next to him to the ground.
At this time, it happened that the two or three government soldiers who were patrolling the night walked here, and heard a noise coming from the post office of Lu Du, and one of the government soldiers shouted inside in confusion, "Who?" ”
When the assassin in the house heard the shouts outside, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat instantly, and hurriedly lowered his body to hide under the window, and at this time, the body of Lu Duyou on the bed was still dripping blood on the ground, and the blood spurting like an injection hit the ground of the bluestone slab, and suddenly made a "whoosh" sound.
Listen to the soldiers outside
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the two assassins didn't dare to breathe, praying in their hearts that those soldiers would not come.
It may be that the prayers of the two assassins were not sincere enough, or that the Buddha did not go to work today and did not hear the prayers of the two of them, and under the frightened waiting of the two, the soldiers outside the door finally discovered that Lu Duyou had been beheaded in a different place.
"There are assassins! There are assassins! ”
A high-pitched, slightly frightened shout pierced the night sky.
Seeing that the matter had been revealed, the two Assassins were heartbroken, drew their daggers and rushed out.
It is said that these two people are Gongsun Zhan's guards, and a few of them put the government soldiers to the ground, and then jumped up and turned out of the government without waiting for the extra government soldiers to come out.
The Liangxiang County Commander, who heard the news, saw the corpses of several government soldiers in the courtyard and shouted: "Not good! Then he staggered into Lu Duyou's room, and when he saw the situation in the house, all of a sudden the blood on his body was cold.
"Hurry up and inform the county lieutenant to arrest the assassin!"
After the order, the county commander ignored the screams of the people in the palace, and rushed out of the palace with the rest of the government soldiers and chased in the direction of the two assassins.
It is said that the person who held the post of county lieutenant of Liangxiang County was a poisonous scorpion under the original Yao Lie.
Because of the excessive heat tonight, the county lieutenant couldn't sleep at home tossing and turning, and finally in desperation, the county lieutenant got up and walked around the street, and after encountering the county soldiers who were patrolling the night, he took these county soldiers to patrol the night together.
Just when the county lieutenant was chatting with dozens of county soldiers who were patrolling the night, chatting and laughing about his heroic deeds under Yao Lie, he suddenly saw two figures running towards everyone at the mouth of the alley in front of him.
"Who's up ahead?"
Seeing that the two of them dared to violate the ban of the curfew and were so flustered, the county lieutenant thought that they were thieves who stole it. He shouted and tried to stop the two.
When the two assassins heard the shouts, they shuddered, and suddenly raised their heads to see that dozens of county soldiers were rushing towards them in the alley.
"Damn, it's not possible to treat Lao Tzu, the county lieutenant, as an ornament!"
After scolding, the county lieutenant had a wind at his feet, and quickly chased in the direction where the two assassins had fled, and the county soldiers behind him did not dare to be vague when they saw this, and hurriedly followed.
It is said that the two assassins had planned a retreat route before they came, but this was disrupted by the sudden arrival of the county soldiers, and the two had no choice but to flee like headless flies.
It's a pity that the two of them were unlucky today, and they didn't run a few streets, and the two were chased into a dead end by the county soldiers.
Seeing that there was no way out, the two gritted their teeth, held the dagger and rushed to the county soldiers chasing behind them.
When the county lieutenant saw the two of them running back with daggers in the cold light in their hands, he knew that the two of them were going to fight hard, so he pulled out his saber at his waist and shouted and met them.
After all, they were members of the original poisonous scorpion, and although they had not trained for several months, the foundation was still there, and after paying the price of several county soldiers being wounded, the two assassins were finally captured alive.
Before they could interrogate the two people, the Liangxiang County Commander hurried over with more than a dozen government soldiers.
When the county lieutenant heard the news that Lu Duyou had been stabbed to death by two people, his heart couldn't help but sink.
"Lord Prefectural Commander, don't make a noise about this matter, and after I bring these two people to Lord County, Lord County will make a decision!"
Hearing this, the Liangxiang County Commander hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, the county lieutenant did not dare to delay, and tied up the two assassins and escorted them to Zhuo County overnight.
