Chapter 00081 The more I think about it, the more outrageous it becomes
Along the way, Lu Kuan had a lot of ideas and speculations, but as soon as he appeared, he was accused of lax law and order by Zhao Shuo, which still caught him off guard. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The law and order is not strict, and bombing the prince is a big crime. Although he was not well prepared, Lu Kuan reacted quickly.
"Lord Wang, although there are some mob rebellions around Yanzhou, they have never invaded Yanzhou, is there another hidden story in this matter!"
"You think the king is lying?" Zhao Shuo's face turned cold.
"The lower officials don't dare!" Lu Kuan kowtowed. "Although the mob is strong, most of the weapons they hold are farm tools, and the prince ...... here"
Raising his head slightly, he glanced at the big pit in the middle of the small courtyard, and then looked at the messy flowers and trees around him. "It's not something that a mob can do."
"Whether this king is a mob or some other force, in short, this king has been attacked here, and the life and death of this king's general are unknown because of this attack." Zhao Shuo took a few steps forward and came to Lu Kuan. "And Lord Lu, the Zhizhou who is in charge of the security of Yanzhou, is shirking his responsibility at the moment, I don't know what His Majesty the Emperor's reaction will be when he knows about this matter?"
Lu Kuan's heart was also a soft mess, he couldn't figure out what was going on in front of him. If it is a mob, it is impossible to have such a powerful attack weapon, because if the mob had such a weapon, Yanzhou would not be able to protect it a long time ago. But not a mob, who could it be?
Judging from the miserable appearance of the courtyard, it should be the damage caused by weapons such as cannonballs, but as far as Lu Kuan knew, even the most powerful cannonball made by the Gunpowder Bureau could not have such power.
If anyone can really make such a cannonball, there is only one person that Lu Kuan can think of in the entire Great Song Dynasty, and that is Ling Zhen, but Ling Zhen is now fighting against the Jin soldiers in the north, it is impossible to be here, and even if it appears, it is impossible to attack Zhao Shuo.
The only suspicious person is unlikely to commit the crime, so who is it?
Lu Kuan frowned, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he thought of another person, that is, Ling Zhen's son Ling Yun.
Ling Yun got a batch of cannonball making materials from him yesterday, and he was in Yanzhou, and now, he hasn't appeared here, no matter how you look at it, Ling Yun is seriously suspicious.
"Lord Wang, even if you report these things to Your Majesty, the lower officials think that Your Majesty will still hand over this matter to the lower officials for investigation." Lu Kuan said, pointing to the bombed unrecognizable courtyard. "What can have this kind of destructive power must be cannonballs. However, with such a powerful cannonball, I am afraid that even the Gunpowder Bureau may not be able to make it. In this matter, Xia Guan felt that His Majesty should also be interested. ”
"Hahaha......" Listening to Lu Kuan's words, Zhao Shuo laughed, and then his eyes widened and looked at Lu Kuan. Master Lu, get up, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it clearly. ”
Seeing Zhao Shuo's change of attitude, Lu Kuan felt that he had guessed correctly, this cannonball must have been made by Ling Yun. Ling Yun accidentally detonated the cannonball, and then hid. Zhao Shuo didn't want to take responsibility, so he had the one just now, the purpose was to let him Lu Kuan carry this black cauldron.
"Lord Wang, as the so-called Ming people don't say dark words, the lower officials dare to ask, where is Lord Ling now?" Lu Kuan got up, patted the dust on his body, glanced at the people around him, and asked lightly.
"You're talking about Lingyun?" Zhao Shuo looked at Lu Kuan playfully. "Do you think this attack has something to do with Ling Yun?"
"Lord Wang, forgive your superiority. ...... can have such a great destructive power," Lu Kuan pointed to the unrecognizable courtyard. "I'm afraid ordinary shells can't do it."
"Oh! So, Lord Lu thinks that Ling Yun created such a cannonball? Zhao Shuo's face sank.
"Lord Wang, if you can create such a powerful cannonball, according to the lower officials, there will be no more than two people in the entire Great Song Dynasty. This first one is the Lord Ling Zhenling, who is known as the thunderbolt. Second place? If it was really possible, it would only be his son, Lord Ling Yunling. Coincidentally, Lord Ling Yunling was in Yanzhou at the moment, and now, he was gone. The corners of Lu Kuan's mouth raised a smile, he felt that his inference was reasonable and 100% correct.
"Okay......" Zhao Shuo gave a thumbs up. Lord Lu's nonsense is really a whip into the inside, into the wood three points, if it weren't for Ling Yun lying inside, this king would really be able to believe it. ”
As he spoke, Zhao Shuo made a gesture of invitation to Lu Kuan. "Master Lu, please come inside!"
With all kinds of doubts, Lu Wan walked into the living room, and then was let into the bedroom, and on the bed in the bedroom, he saw Ling Yun with a dark face and unconscious.
"This~, how is this possible? What the hell is going on? Lu Kuan was completely dumbfounded.
"This king has said that he has been attacked by inexplicable forces, if it weren't for Ling Yun, I'm afraid this king's life would have been handed over to you, Yanzhou." Zhao Shuo looked at Lu Kuan. "Lord Lu, do you still suspect that Ling Yun did this attack?"
Lu Kuan opened his mouth, but he didn't speak, Ling Yun was indeed injured by the explosion, but couldn't it be that Ling Yun made a bomb and injured himself by mistake? How could an ordinary person make such a powerful cannonball?
"It seems that Lord Lu still doesn't believe it?" Zhao Shuo snorted coldly twice and shouted suddenly. "Lord Lu thinks that this attack on this king is a cannonball, so Lord Lu thinks that Ling Yun can make such a cannonball overnight? Do you think such a thing is really possible? ”
Under Zhao Shuo's reprimand, Lu Kuan's whole body wilted, and he suddenly realized at this time that he had ignored an important piece of information. Ling Yun was Ling Zhen's son, so he took it for granted that Ling Yun was extremely strong in making artillery. But as Zhao Shuo said, Ling Yun was the material he only asked for from him yesterday, and in one night, even if Ling Zhen was there, it was impossible to make a cannonball, let alone such a powerful cannonball.
If Ling Yun really had such a great ability, according to the rumors, Zhao Gou wanted to use the mob as a knife to get rid of Zhao Shuo, then Zhao Gou would never have sent him to assist Zhao Shuo.
If what Zhao Shuo said was true, there was really a force that wanted to get rid of him, and the only one who could cause this kind of attack on the small courtyard beyond recognition was the imperial court.
Thinking of this, Lu Kuan's whole face froze, and the more he thought about it, the more terrifying he felt, his faint scalp began to tingle, and his back was cold.
If Zhao Gou really planned to get rid of Zhao Shuo in Yanzhou, then he would be too unlucky. Just imagine, a prince died in his jurisdiction, and it was the emperor who did it, so the fate of his governor can be imagined.
Thinking of this, Lu Kuan softened suddenly. "Lord Wang, Xia Guan was reckless just now, and I hope that the prince will forgive his sins."
