Chapter 34: Murder and Silence
"He also said that Lu Yun is the son of the jade unicorn Lu Junyi, and was later accepted as the righteous son by the prodigal son Yan Qing, and robbed the house in Deshan," Li Lei did not answer their questions, and continued to take care of himself: "When Lu Yun grew up, he was skilled in swords and horses, invincible, and because he tattooed a unicorn on his arm, the people in the rivers and lakes called the unicorn arm Lu Yun. ”
Silence, the restaurant fell into a moment of silence, and everyone stared at Li Lei in surprise, not yet fully digesting the bombshell.
"Anyway, Lu Yun is also our own brother!" Song Anping first broke the silence and reproached Li Lei: "Why didn't you say it earlier? ”
"He didn't say that he was the Qilin Arm Lu Yun," Li Lei retorted with some grievances: "Can I know that this Lu Yun is that Lu Yun?" ”
"Then why did he participate in the competition?" Wang Qi snatched the words and asked, "Don't he want to be a robber, he wants to be a martial champion?" ”
"Damn, how could Lu Yun be interested in Wu Zhuangyuan," Li Lei denied Wang Qi's statement, became emotional, and said loudly: "I heard Xu Yong say that Lu Yun grew up drinking the blood of the enemy and eating the heart of the enemy. The unicorn arm he tattooed on his arm is also to remind himself of his mission of revenge. He is a natural killer demon king, an avenging angel, impossible, interested in what martial arts champion. ”
"Does that Xu Yong know Lu Yunting a lot?" Qin Jinpeng asked with some skepticism about Li Lei's exaggerated words: "Could it be that Xu Yong and Lu Yun are very familiar?" ”
"Although Xu Yong has never met Lu Yun, he must know Lu Yun very well, Lu Yun is Xu Yong's ultimate idol!" Li Lei looked at Qin Jinpeng's skeptical gaze and added: "Besides, these legends of Lu Yun are no longer a secret in the green forest world. ”
When Song Anping heard this, he thought of what Lou Lu Yun said that night in Drunken Star, and connected it with what Li Lei just said, and vaguely understood the purpose of Lu Yun's trip.
Tong Lin is Tong Guan's son, if Lu Yun wants to take revenge, he should kill Tong Lin, but since he didn't kill Tong Lin, why is it? Does he have a bigger goal than he can achieve? He participated in the competition and became a martial champion
Song Anping's mind had a thought that made him shudder. The emperor is the emperor. After he becomes a martial champion, the emperor will personally reward him, and when he is assassinated, isn't it easy? Could it be that he blamed the unjust death of the heroes of Liangshan, the emperor's head?
Song Anping thought of this, and secretly scolded Lu Yun for his recklessness, if he really assassinated the emperor, then the Jin soldiers took the opportunity to attack, wouldn't the Great Song Dynasty be over? Wouldn't he have become a sinner for the ages who led to the destruction of the country?
Song Anping thought like this, but the stakes were very high, so he didn't express any opinions.
Song Anping What, as soon as he hid his thoughts, everyone discussed it until late at night, and they didn't discuss anything, they saw that it was late, and they all dispersed a little discouraged.
After the meal, Song Anping persuaded Wang Qi to stay overnight, but Wang Qi insisted on going back.
Song Anping couldn't resist Wang Qi, but he was worried about Wang Qi's comfort, so he proposed to send him home, but Wang Qi resolutely refused, and their kindness went home alone.
The next morning, when the sky was just dawning, there was a sound in the courtyard of the Song Mansion, and a sharp scream pulled everyone out of their sweet dreams.
"Oh no, it's dead!" Lao Li stood at the door of a room, staring at the room with a frightened expression, shouting.
"What's wrong?"
The people of the Song Mansion followed the voice to the door of the room where Han Shuo was locked last night, and at this time, the situation at the door was really taken aback.
I saw that in that room, the door was open, and the two caretakers had already died by the door, while Han Shuo was lying on the bed, his neck was cut off in half, and the blood that flowed from his neck stained the entire bed bright red.
Song Anping squeezed through the crowd, came to the room, glanced at Han Shuo's corpse, and concluded that this was Tong Lin's murderous move.
Song Anping regretted his carelessness, and at the same time handed over these troublesome things to Lao Li, Hua Yi and others, and hurriedly walked out of the Song Mansion and came to the Yamen to expose Tong Lin's conspiracy.
But most of the important officials of the imperial court have received the benefits of Tong Lin, not to mention that they are all busy now, going to congratulate Zhang Bangchang, who has been on the rise in one day, and they don't have time to listen to these boring things about Song Anping.
And the emperor was also immersed in the joy of Yuxi's return at this time, and drank and congratulated Zhang Bangchang and several other court officials every moment, but he couldn't listen to anything that didn't go well.
Zhang Bangchang suddenly became rich overnight from a beggar who fled, instantly got the glory and wealth he wanted, and won the trust of the emperor, and was named the Taibao. When he was proud, he didn't care at all about the relationship between Tong Lin and Northern Qi and how much harm they would cause to the country.
Song Anping ran for two days, hitting walls everywhere, and when he returned home with his tired body, the sun was already setting.
At this time, Li Lei, Ke Rong, Hua Yi, and Qin Jinpeng were practicing martial arts in the backyard. Only Wang Qi was alone, sitting bored in the living room, waiting for Song Anping's return.
Song Anping entered the living room, and after seeing Wang Qi, he simply greeted him, and then sat on the chair and stopped talking.
Wang Qi originally wanted to say something, but he saw that Song Anping's face was so ugly. I didn't know what to say all of a sudden, so I just sat next to Song Anping silently.
"Is Lord Song here? Lord Song" An arrogant voice broke the silence in the living room. As the voice fell, a young man walked into the living room, clasped his fists at Song Anping and saluted, "You are Lord Song, right?" I am Zhang Bangchang, Zhang Hong, the nephew of Lord Zhang, and I have come in person on the orders of my uncle to invite you to eat and drink. ”
Although Zhang Hong's courtesies were all in place, the arrogance revealed between his words and expression did not reassure Song Anping at all.
As soon as Song Anping saw Zhang Hong's unbeaten expression, and after hearing the name Zhang Bangchang, all his depression in the past two days instantly turned into a raging anger, he walked up to Zhang Hong angrily, kicked Zhang Hong in the chest, and only kicked Zhang Hong out of the living room.
"Go back and tell Zhang Bangchang's old thief, tell him to settle down, if I find out that he has any crooked thoughts, I will personally unscrew his head," Song Anping finished venting his temper and shouted to Zhang Hong: "Get out." ”
"Okay, okay, you Song Anping, you dare to beat me, you wait," Zhang Hong wailed, and escaped from the Song Mansion with a roll.
