Chapter 259: Retreat and Responsibility

After asking Xu Liang to send someone to take Wei Jian away, Lu Heng walked out of the Jiangning Mansion alone.

I talked with Wei Jian for a long time, and it was already noon at this time.

The curfew has long been in place, and at this time, there are more pedestrians on the streets.

In the reopened tavern, everyone was talking about the unrest in the city last night. Of course, there are also people who say that the family suffered a tragic misfortune, affected by the unrest of last night, and the whole family died miserably.

As he spoke, the sound of sighs was endless.

Lu Heng sat at the table by the window, asked for a cup of tea, and with the fragrance of tea, he walked through the window and looked at the lively scene downstairs. In my ears, there was the sound of the people's discussions, some lamenting the miserable people, and some ridiculing and ridiculing the Dongying people for their lack of strength. The people who say it are only a few, and the many more people are listening.

I sat quietly like this for a while, until the shopkeeper slammed the towel on his shoulder on the table in front of Lu Heng, and said to Lu Heng with a sneering face, You either order food to eat, or hurry up and give up your seat to others. Don't stand in the pit and don't.

Lu Heng clenched his fists and said sorry to the shopkeeper, packed up his things, and left from the position by the window.

After Lu Heng left, a sturdy man walked out from next door.

He stretched out his hand and patted the shopkeeper on the shoulder.

The shopkeeper was heading in the direction of Lu Heng's departure, full of foul language, insulting him for being a poor scholar. was slapped coldly and was taken aback.

Turning his head, he saw that the person in front of him was the gold lord who had just ordered three jars of aging wine in one go.

The disdain on the face of the shopkeeper suddenly turned into a flattering smile: "Yo, master, what else do you want?" ”

"I want your head!" The strong man had a dark face, looked at the shopkeeper condescendingly, and said with a sneer.

The gaze of this strong man, like a sharp sword, pierced people's hearts. Being stared at like this strong man, the shopkeeper couldn't help but curl up, and everyone was a little smaller.

"Master, you're laughing!" The shopkeeper swallowed. He said with a smile.

The strong man stretched out his hand impatiently, grabbed the collar of the shopkeeper, snorted, and directly picked him up.

"I'm not kidding you!" The strong man glanced up and down at the shopkeeper, his gaze was like scanning a dead man.

"Master, master, what do you want to do?" Being carried by the strong man like this, the shopkeeper suddenly smelled the strong man's body, and the thick bloody smell came from it.

glanced down, but found that the shoes on the strong man's feet were still blood-red.

The shopkeeper was suddenly shocked in his heart, crying and begging for mercy: "Master, master, spare your life!" ”

"Give me a reason!" The strong man was in a depressed mood, and what he said was obviously to make the second child of this shop happy.

"Agui!" At this time, the scholar who went downstairs went and returned, and he stood where he went down the stairs, quietly looking at the strong man, with a faint smile on his face. After looking at it like this for a while, the scholar smiled slightly: "Let's go!" ”

After saying that, the scholar walked straight down.

"Damn, I'll put a bright spot in the future!" Ah Gui raised his hand and shook it, directly threw the shopkeeper on the table, and left with a scolding.

The shopkeeper was thrown on the table, and with a bang, the table was smashed and scattered into a pile of sawdust. The shopkeeper who was full of tea and porcelain tiles rubbed his body and got up from the ruins, "Xiao Er, do you know who the scholar you just scolded is?" In the crowd, a richly dressed son, who should be from a big family in the city, walked over. Holding his arms, he looked at the sitting on the ground, and smiled gloatingly.

"Zhang Gongzi, you, you have to be the villain's master! It is simply unreasonable for such a wicked person to dare to commit murder in broad daylight! When the shopkeeper saw this boy coming, he immediately cried bitterly, knelt down and kowtowed.

"Don't, don't beg the young master. Young master, I'm not as brave as you, even he dares to provoke. Calling the shots? Hehe, young master, I'm not as bold as you, and I don't have that much ability. The rich young master smiled faintly and shook his head. Turning around, through the window, watching the master and servant downstairs slowly leave, he sighed deeply, his eyes were full of admiration, and he said to himself: "The person who can't be provoked by Jiangning City now belongs to the scholar just now!" ”

"He, who is he?" Seeing the lawless and arrogant Zhang Gongzi, when he looked at the scholar, he was all looking at the scholar with a look of fear and admiration, and he couldn't help but change his face, knowing that he had provoked someone he shouldn't have messed with today.

"Lu Heng, Lu Yongzheng!" Zhang Gongzi looked at the scholar who went there, sighed, and said, "Heh, in the history of Jiangning, the greatest Gongzi brother is none other than him!" ”

After such admiration, it is obvious that there is some unfinished business. Zhang Gongzi groped for a strand of beard on his chin, his eyes were full of longing: "When, I, Zhang Shao, can also mix to that point, what an idol!" ”

…… The streets are full of traffic, and the cries of vendors are endless.

The lively street scene is as good as ever. It seems that yesterday's killing has been forgotten by these people. Perhaps, they never even cared.

But...... Heh, actually, that's pretty good.

At the beginning, Lu Heng was also worried that if something like that happened in Jiangning City, the people would inevitably speculate, and then rumors would spread. Let those who have a heart take the opportunity to enter and do evil.

Now it seems that I am a little too careful.

However, having said that, Lu Yushi not only did a good job in Yushi, but also did a good job as a spy, and it seems that this is not a small skill for the official.

The ability to control the situation so stably cannot be underestimated.

Walking aimlessly down the street, walking past the vendors, always stopping to take a look. Occasionally pick up a thing or two and ask about the price.

However, after listening to the price of the peddler's mouth, the scholar shook his head and left with a regretful face.

Stopping and stopping all the way, occasionally stopping, fiddling with the objects on the stall, raising his head, chatting with the little vendor, bargaining. It seems to be very casual and elegant.

It's just that Agui, who was far behind, raised his sleeves and wiped the tears in his eyes after seeing Gongzi's appearance.

The time to follow Childe, although not often. However, he knows Childe very well.

Childe doesn't like to go shopping and buy things, except for buying things and giving gifts. Or when Childe is in a bad mood.

After seeing the boy walking in front of him, he stopped at a shop that sold funeral supplies. Ah Gui couldn't hold back the guilt in his heart anymore, and tears couldn't help but flow out of his eyes.

After ordering some things in the store, Lu Heng left the silver and told the store to send the things to the place where Zhang Wenshan used to live, well, now it is behind Lu Heng's small courtyard. He got up and left.

walked aimlessly all the way, and before I knew it, I came to the Qinhuai River.

The Qinhuai River, which is painted, is still so calm, and the thin mist lingers on the river surface, fluttering slightly with the breeze blowing.

After Lu Heng walked into the small pavilion, he found a place, beat it with his sleeve casually, and sat down.

On the surface of the river, the breeze is blowing and the water is murmuring. The wind on the river blew into the pavilion, floating on the cheeks, and it was cool.

Lu Heng sat there, quietly staring at the calm river.

After a long time, he finally shook his head helplessly.

said lightly: "Agui, come out!" ”

Behind him, there was a rustling sound in the bushes, and Agui lowered his head and walked out with self-blame.

"Childe, I'm ......" Ah Gui walked into the small pavilion, and after standing in front of Lu Heng, he actually knelt down.

Lu Heng sighed, shook his head, bent down, grabbed his arms and said, "Get up!" ”

"Agui is sorry for the trust of the son, let Mrs. Cangxue ......" Agui raised his sleeves, wiped the tears on his face, and said in a deep voice.

Speaking of Cangxue, Lu Heng felt a faint pain in his heart.

Helplessly, the flowers fell!

Lu Heng shook his head and said to himself with a miserable laugh.

"Childe......" Seeing Lu Heng's expression, Agui blamed himself even more in his heart, and said that he was going to kneel down again.

"Agui!" Lu Heng took a deep breath, stood up, and walked to the small pavilion with his hands behind his back. looked at the sparkling river calmly, and said lightly.

Outside the pavilion is the boiling river. At this time, the sun is in full bloom, shining on the smooth surface of the river, shining with bursts of dazzling light.

The winter wind blows, and the river surface ripples slightly.

The water corridor lapped against the shore, hitting the stone pillars of the small pavilion, and there were many waves.

Softly, who said loudly, thinking back to this pavilion, everything was very calm, but very depressing.

"Send a letter to King Huainan and Lord Zhang!" After Lu Heng took a deep breath, his gaze became calm and terrifying.

"Tell them that Lu is going to kill Wei Jian, give them seven days, get ready!" Green Mark said quietly, but with a faint smile on his face: "Heh, it's okay to clear up the relationship, just pretend not to know." Anyway, stay away from me! ”

Saying such things, it is not that Lu Heng said that the king of Huainan is unkind. On the contrary, it was precisely because Lu Heng knew that if King Huainan knew that he was going to take risks, this old man would definitely follow him all the way to the dark. That's why I say that.

He is the prince of the imperial court, and his future prospects are limitless. The old man has waited for so many years, and finally waited for the opportunity to be reactivated by the emperor, and now it is the time for the Condor of Nanshan, which has been silent for many years, to soar into the sky and make a splash. If he oversteps or does something bad, he will definitely be attacked by political opponents.

Lu Heng said this, but also hoped that the old man could clearly understand the intricacies of the current situation at this time. Don't be involved in Jiangning's affairs. So as not to be ruined by years of hard work.

And Zhang Wenshan, the old man is the same.

The old man has been lying on his salary for many years, and finally has a chance to get ahead. Because of his own incident, he ruined his future. I was a great sin.

"Anyway, cherish it!" I wanted to say more, but in the end, I found that many things can only be thought about.

Hey, I hope those three old men don't be impulsive!

Lu Heng shook his head, and a wry smile appeared on his resolute face.
