Chapter 128 The Assassination of the Thief in Hangzhou (Volume 3)
Shui Handao: "According to the meaning of Master Lu's words, what should we do?"
Lu Jinghong said: "If I don't kill you today, Cai Jing will definitely seek revenge on me in the future, so you might as well strike first." ”
Shui Handao: "Dare to ask Master Lu, how to strike first?"
Lu Jinghong said: "The Lord of the Water Gate has heard that Manichaean Chen Yutang wants to lead the crowd to attack Hangzhou and re-embark on the old road of Fangla. ”
Shui Handao: "Don't hide it from Master Lu, I also heard about it." Manichaeans had many followers and were well-trained, and if they wanted to attack Hangzhou, they would indeed have a few chances of victory. ”
Lu Jinghong said: "When Chen Yutang attacks Hangzhou, the imperial court will definitely attach great importance to it, and beware of repeating the mistake of the defeat of the Jiangnan officials and troops in the Fangla Uprising, Cai Jing and others should come to Hangzhou to suppress the formation." ”
Shui Handao: "Lu Zhangmen's intention is that you and I sneak into Hangzhou first to join Chen Yutang inside and outside, but if we merge with Manichaeism, it is a crime of rebellion." It's not a pity that I'm dying alone, but I really don't want to involve all my sisters. ”
Lu Jinghong said: "The Lord of the Water Gate is reasonable, and I will not put the Xuantian Gate in a dangerous place, if I join hands with Chen Yutang, I think the Xuantian Gate will be surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court, so I am ashamed of the ancestors of this faction." ”
Shui Handao: "Dare to ask Master Lu what is the best plan?"
Lu Jinghong said: "I do have a plan, but it is quite dangerous, I don't know if the Lord of the Water Gate is willing to try it with me?"
The way of the water cold: "Instead of sitting and waiting to die, you might as well give it a try." ”
Lu Jinghong said: "You might as well wait for Cai Jing to come to Hangzhou, I will pretend that I have killed you." You were lying on the wooden cart, covered in a white cloth, and when you were close to Cai Jing, you and I suddenly attacked and took Cai Jing's life. ”
Shui Hanzhi said: "Although this plan is wonderful, but Cai Jing is the prime minister of the dynasty, I am afraid that after you and I kill Cai Jing, your two factions will be besieged by the imperial court." ”
Lu Jinghong said: "Cai Jinggui is the prime minister, and he definitely does not want the people in the court and the people in the rivers and lakes to know that the master of the dignified Bizhu Gate was killed by his design. If Cai Jing's murder of the master of Bizhumen is known by the people in the court and the people in the rivers and lakes, first, this matter will become a reason for the courtiers to impeach Cai Jing, and second, this matter will inevitably affect the relationship between the Song court and Wulin. Therefore, when I pretended to present the corpse of the Lord of the Water Gate, Cai Jing must have met me in secret. ”
Shui Handao: "According to the meaning of the head of Lu, when you and I attacked, at most only Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Cai You, and Yu Zhiwei were present. ”
Lu Jinghong said: "Cai Jing and Tong Guan should not leave Beijing at the same time, Cai You and Yu Zhiwei should have one person to stay in Cai's mansion." ”
The way of water cold: "Master Lu is reasonable. If Cai Jing goes to Hangzhou to suppress the formation, there should be only Cai You or Yu Zhiwei by his side. ”
Lu Jinghong said: "Exactly." Xiao Mengyang and Jingyuan are dead, you and I don't want to be driven by Cai Jing anymore, Cai Jing is quite lonely now. ”
The way of water cold: "Hangzhou Guizhuang Xia Yangtian has always been good friends with the imperial court, and Guizhuang is located in the city of Hangzhou. This time, he will definitely also assist the imperial court in resisting the attack of the Manichaeans, and Cai Jing should take this opportunity to rein in Xia Yangtian. ”
Lu Jinghong said: "What the Lord of the Water Gate said is extremely true, if you and I want to act, we need to take advantage of Cai Jing's arrival in Hangzhou. ”
Shui Handao: "Master Lu has worked hard all the way, I will order my subordinates to prepare wine and food first, and you and I will discuss after eating." ”
After Shui Hanzhi and Lu Jinghong finished eating, Lu Jinghong went back to the room to rest, and Shui Hanzhi went to the room where Zhen Yue stayed.
Shui Hanzhi walked into the house lightly, slowly closed the door, and said, "Zhen Yixian, presumably in the previous Qinghua Hall, you heard the conversation between me and Lu Jinghong?"
Zhen Yue said: "Exactly." ”
Shui Handao: "In your opinion, what is the truth or falsehood of Lu Jinghong's words?"
Zhen Yue said: "I don't know much about it, but from this matter alone, it can help you and me attack Cai Jing, and it can also dedicate you to Cai Jing alive." ”
Shui Handao: "Now, the child has learned martial arts on Tianzhu Mountain with peace of mind, and I have controlled myself and no longer cares. In order for Brother Feng to return to me as soon as possible, I have no scruples. ”
Zhen Yue said: "Even if Lu Jinghong sincerely assists you and me, Cai Jing is not as simple as he thinks. ”
Shui Hanzhi: "I just want to complete Brother Feng's explanation quickly, because I already have too much guilt on my shoulders." In the past, if I had come to the Jingchu Dart Bureau earlier, maybe the situation would have changed dramatically that night, and if I hadn't followed Cai Jing, General Yang might not have died in Xuantianmen. My willfulness and arrogance once made Brother Feng feel that Mrs. Yang was so gentle and gentle as water. ”
Zhen Yue suddenly felt pity and said, "You are not guilty of the Bai family's annihilation. Tian Muxi went to the night, even if you were not there, we might be invincible, but the result was still the same. ”
Shui Handao: "But I am full of burdens, I just hope to settle my grievances quickly, stay with Brother Feng, and no longer ask about the world." ”
Zhen Yue said: "But I must not act recklessly, let me think about it." ”
Shui Hanzhi quietly looked out the window, waiting for the result of Zhen Yue's thinking.
Zhen Yue said: "You bring a pot of wine to drink with Lu Jinghong, if he has the intention to harm you, he must be worried that you will be the first to attack the poisonous wine." If he is unguarded, he must be sincerely telling you the truth. ”
The way of the water cold: "Zhen Yixian is really smart and icy. ”
According to Zhen Yue's words, Shui Hanzhi carried a pot of sake and knocked lightly on the door of Lu Jinghong's room.
Lu Jinghong opened the door and saw the wine in Shui Hanzhi's hand, and said with a smile: "The Lord of the Water Gate is worthy of being a heroine among women, the war is ahead, and there is such a Yaxing." ”
Shui Hanzhi smiled and said, "Master Lu, do you dare to accompany you?"
Lu Jinghong said: "Why don't you dare." ”
Lu Jinghong took the wine glass and said in his heart: "If Shui Hanzhi deliberately harms me, he has already been poisoned on the table, so why bother doing it at this time." ”
Lu Jinghong drank it all.
Zhen Yue saw this scene in the crack of the door, and left with a light smile.
A few days later, Zhen Yue, Shui Hanzhi, and Lu Jinghong got the news that Cai Jing had come to Hangzhou, so the three of them wore civilian clothes and rushed to Hangzhou. When the three of them arrived in Hangzhou, it was already dusk, and the three of them were hungry, so they walked into Youxian Tower, ate some wine and food, and Zhen Yue ordered Xiao Er to prepare three upper rooms.
After the meal, Lu Jinghong said: "Zhen Yixian, in your opinion, how should we act at the moment?"
Zhen Yue said: "You might as well pass on Cai Jing first, and pretend that you have poisoned the Lord of the Water Gate, and have come to Hangzhou with his corpse." After Cai Jing replies to the letter, I will wait to see what is in the letter and then take the opportunity to act. ”
According to Zhen Yue's words, Lu Jinghong made people believe in Cai Jing. An hour later, Cai Jing sent someone to send a reply, in which he politely ordered Lu Jinghong to take Shui Han's corpse to Guizhuang.
Zhen Yue said: "Cai Jing is really scheming, and the meeting place is set in Guizhuang, where he has the protection of Xia Yangtian and others, and he is really worry-free." ”
