A fire suddenly broke out on the surface of the lake, and Zhou Ying's face immediately changed.

He just told Lu Zheng that there was no problem everywhere, and in a blink of an eye, there was a fire, this is not just a slap in the face!

However, Lu Zheng didn't have the heart to hold Zhou Ying accountable, but immediately ordered him: "Hurry up and gather people and go over to have a look." ”

Zhou Ying didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly responded, and then turned around and gathered people.

......

There are really a lot of people who come to visit the lake tonight to enjoy the lanterns, the center of the lake suddenly has a fire, and there is the sound of heavy objects falling into the water one after another, and there is a mess all around, several light boats and painting boats hit one place, and several sounds of falling water are heard one after another.

After Lu Zheng and Zhou Ying approached the fire, what they saw was chaos.

There were a lot of people floating in the lake like dumplings, most of them were the entourages of various families, and a small number of them were guards patrolling the lake in a hurry to save their masters.

However, Lu Zheng and Zhou Ying didn't care about this, leaving people to take care of this side, and the two of them rushed to the big ship that caught fire earlier.

Those who can use such a large ship must be either rich or expensive, and if it suddenly catches fire, there must be a problem.

Sure enough, when Lu Zheng and Zhou Ying got on the boat, they saw that there were corpses on the boat, most of them died of knife wounds, dressed in the same service, and should be the subordinates of the owner's family.

Most of the ship had been burned down, and it was difficult to go in and check it, but fortunately there were many people in the surrounding water who were dressed in the same clothes as the dead family members on board.

Lu Zheng and Zhou Ying quickly searched before the boat was burned, jumped up to pick up their boat, and asked their subordinates to bring up one or two of the drowning family members and ask them to ask questions first.

Only he and Zhou Ying had a subordinate who supported the boat on the boat, and the rest of the people were scattered to save people.

In February, the lake has just thawed, and it is still cold, and it is a big night.

The family member who was brought up was so cold that he shivered, and his lips trembled so much that he couldn't speak.

Lu Zheng frowned and looked at it for a while, then untied his big and threw it at the two.

Seeing this, Zhou Ying also hurriedly untied his cloak and gave it to the two family members.

In a hurry to get out, there was nothing on the boat that could keep warm, so it was the only way to do it first.

With the warmth of the big house, the two family members were finally able to speak after a while.

Lu Zheng didn't have time to wait for them to calm down, and immediately asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Seeing that he was imposing, the two family members knew what kind of official they were afraid of, and naturally they didn't dare not answer when they saw him asking, so they trembled and explained the situation.

The situation is also simple, that is, their boat is walking well, and suddenly a few black-clothed people emerge from under the water, and when they get on the boat, they set fire to kill people, their master has been killed, most of the others have jumped into the water, and a few family members died under the knives of those black-clothed people.

The situation is indeed not complicated, but the identities of those men in black are difficult to say.

"What about the men in black?" Lu Zheng pondered for a while and asked again.

Hearing this, the two family members shook their heads blankly, saying that they didn't know where to go.

Seeing that the situation was not good, they had to jump into the water, where could they care about where those men in black went, and they only thought about saving their lives.

Lu Zheng saw that the two family members couldn't say anything, and his thick eyebrows couldn't help frowning even tighter.

I can't ask anything, but it's not good.

There is no doubt that this must have been a planned assassination, but it is difficult to say whether this person was sent by King Rui and his faction.

Lu Zheng thought for a while, and then asked the two, "Where are you from?" ”

When the two family members heard this, they immediately told the identity of the owner.

After hearing this, Lu Zheng thought about it carefully, and found that he had no impression of this name, but Zhou Ying knew it, so he said to him: "General, it is Liu Yuanwai in the south of the city, and his family runs a cloth village, and his business is not bad. ”

After listening to Zhou Ying's words, Lu Zheng felt even more wrong.

An outsider, even if the business is bigger, it will definitely not make people spend a lot of time on the New Year's Eve, right?

"Do you have any enemies in your daily life, or who have you offended recently?" This is the most likely possibility, Lu Zheng doesn't often ask about cases, but the superficial speculation will still be.

Who knew that the two family members shook their heads together when they heard this, and they both said that their master was usually kind and charitable, and there were no enemies.

But......

"But what?" Lu Zheng stared at one of the family members who was a little speechless.

The family was so frightened that he hurriedly shrunk his neck and said in a trembling voice: "It's just that our master has some ..... A little lustful, tonight, I also chartered a boat to take the flower girl to the lake to enjoy the lanterns......"

As soon as the family's words fell, Lu Zheng heard a cry not far away, twisted his eyebrows and turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw several women with heavy makeup being rescued from the water, all soaking wet, and the makeup was naturally spent, but it really didn't look like a woman from a good family.

But a few flower girls, it's not to the point of asking for people's lives, right?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard another family member suddenly say: "Adult, small, small suddenly remembered that there was something wrong." ”

"Speak quickly!" Without waiting for Lu Zheng to speak, Zhou Ying urged.

The family Ding was urged by Zhou Ying, and he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly said: "Before the little one dived, it seemed that he heard one of the men in black say something to another man in black. ”

"Kanwai words?" When Zhou Ying heard this, his eyebrows couldn't help jumping.

When I looked back at Lu Zheng, I saw Lu Zheng with a thoughtful face, so I didn't dare to disturb.

Lu Zheng was also thinking about the words of that family.

The guy said that the man in black was speaking something he didn't understand, and he called it Kanwai.

Kanwai ...... This is a general term for the people of Nanzhao to the people of the countries outside the borders of Nanzhao, the people do not know so much about how many countries around Nanzhao, only know a few big countries, and those small countries that have not heard of it are regarded as "outside the Guan" in their eyes, so they call what those people say "Guanwai".

But this statement is not accurate.

Of course, Lu Zheng will not correct a family's words at this time.

He was thinking, which country's language is this so-called foreign language?

Or, is it simply Nanzhao's own country, but it is the hometown dialect spoken in a remote place?

For example, in the northwest where he stays all the year round, most of the people in that place live together, and there are people from all over the world, the south and the north, so there are people who say anything, and what these people say is only afraid that in the eyes of this family, it is also a foreign language.

But most likely, these are not the case.

Lu Zheng had a faint guess in his heart, but he didn't say anything, turned his head and ordered Zhou Ying: "First ask someone to send them back, send someone to evacuate the crowd, count the casualties, I will go to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first, and I will leave it to you here, and if there is something, I will immediately ask someone to send me a message." ”

"Yes, General." Zhou Ying answered yes with his head, and then watched Lu Zheng leave.
