Arriving at the monarch's chamber, Lu Jing grabbed a running maid and shouted: "Take me to see the monarch!"
The palace maid was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly agreed. Lu Jing followed her through a long corridor, entered an extremely luxurious and spacious room, and then saw King Lu Xiang lying on the bed.
Lu Jing ran to King Lu Xiang and saw that he had his eyes closed, his face was ashen, and he was motionless.
Lu Jing hurriedly checked the monarch's nose and side of his neck, only to find that there was no breathing or heartbeat at all. Then he put his palm against King Lu Xiang's forehead and injected internal energy, but immediately found that many internal organs, including the brain and heart, had stopped functioning.
. Lu Jing couldn't help but sigh: Even if the elixir girl is here, there is no way to save him!
"The refreshments were sent by Superintendent Shangshan. They must have something to do with it!" Lu Jing thought of this, turned around and walked out the door. At the same time, he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Soldiers, listen to the order and follow me to Supervisor Shangshan!"
Lu Jing ran all the way, and whenever he saw soldiers nearby, he called them to go to Shangshan Prison. Although the officers and soldiers did not know that "Hua Longyang" had been appointed as a general of cavalry, and even a general of cavalry did not
He formally transferred the power of the palace guards, but because everyone knew that he was the most popular person in front of the monarch, most of the soldiers and officers he met were willing to follow him to the Shangshan Prison.
When he arrived at the gate of Shangshan Prison, Lu Jing turned around and shouted to the officers and soldiers: "Surround this place immediately. No one is allowed to leave! The murderer of the monarch is probably here!"
More than two hundred soldiers surrounded Shangshan Prison.
Lu Jing calmed down a little and thought: Even if the murderer is from Shangshan Prison, he may not be in Shangshan Prison now. He may have escaped long ago!
He looked around and suddenly saw Lu Wei, the highest officer of the palace guards, running towards him panting, followed by more than a dozen soldiers. Lu Wei looked very nervous and ran to Lu Jing
He said in front of him: "Master Hua, I heard that the king has passed away..."
Lu Jing nodded and said eagerly: "You came in time! Now immediately ask all your soldiers to surround the palace and not allow anyone to enter or leave, because the murderer of the king may still be in the palace!"
Lu Wei straightened his body and said loudly: "As ordered!" He immediately turned around and left.
Lu Jing suddenly shouted again: "Wait a minute." Lu Wei quickly turned around. Lu Jing asked: "If we want to blockade the entire city of Qufu, who needs to give the order?" Lu Wei replied: "Apart from the monarch, only Prime Minister Tian Gang can do it.
"
Lu Jing cursed angrily in his heart and asked again: "Now that the king has passed away, if Tian Gang is not here, who else can give the order? Can the chariot and cavalry general do it?"
Lu Wei replied: "If the monarch and Prime Minister Tian Gang are not here, General Lu Lian and General Tong Gui, the city guard, can also do it. If these two generals are not here, then it is the turn of General Chariot and Cavalry. But now Prime Minister Tian Gang should
In Qufu. And who is the general of chariots and cavalry? Our country has not had any generals of chariots and cavalry for more than ten years."
Lu Jing had no choice but to say: "I am the Chariot and Cavalry General, appointed by the king just half an hour ago. You go to surround and blockade the palace first." Lu Wei gave a stern look, turned around and led his troops away.
A guard captain walked up to Lu Jing and reported: "Master Hua, Shangshan Supervisor has been completely surrounded!"
Lu Jing said loudly: "Okay, take one hundred and fifty brothers in with me, take everyone to the open space in the courtyard, and interrogate them one by one!"
The soldiers shouted and quickly rushed into the Shangshan Prison. Lu Jing walked to the center of the open space in the courtyard and stood still, watching coldly as the soldiers arrested all the cooks, eunuchs and maids they encountered.
Soon, there were more than two hundred Shangshan Supervisors in different uniforms standing in the open space in the courtyard. Almost all of them were panicked, and they were surrounded by more than a hundred soldiers with weapons.
A guard chief saw that "Hua Longyang" was disheveled, so he quickly took off his shirt and put it on Lu Jing's body.
Lu Jing stared at the Shangshang Supervisor staff. He saw the fat Manager Hong at a glance, and also found the two young eunuchs who had delivered two food boxes to the study room not long ago.
Interrogating cases was not what Lu Jing was good at. He frowned and thought for a moment, then said to the chief guard: "Take a few people to the "Renxin Hall" in the upper study and take a look at the two food boxes sent by Superintendent Shang Shan.
Are the plates, teapots and cups still there? If they are there, please protect them as they are and don’t allow anyone to touch them!"
"Yes!" The guard chief took the order and left.
Lu Jing walked to the two young eunuchs who were delivering the food boxes and said to the soldiers: "The four of you, take these two people to an empty room and let me interrogate them!"
"Yes!" the four soldiers agreed, and then without any explanation, they escorted the two eunuchs into an empty room. Lu Jing carefully observed the words and expressions during the process, but felt that he really couldn't tell any clues from the demeanor and behavior of the two men.
Lu Jing pulled out the saber of a soldier beside him, then walked into a room where one of the two eunuchs was kept, and stared at the eunuch. The eunuch looked at the fierce-looking "Hua Longyang" with a very nervous expression.
Lu Jing suddenly waved his sword and knocked off the eunuch's hat. The eunuch couldn't help but want to dodge, but was firmly held down by two soldiers.
Lu Jing continued to wave his saber, and slashed the eunuch's head with a few quick blows, cutting off 90% of his hair, and strands fell on his clothes and the ground. Although Lu Jing did not want to chop him
, but due to poor knife skills, he still cut off several pieces of the eunuch's scalp, leaving bloody flowers, and even cut off a small piece at the top of each of his ears.
The eunuch was in pain and fear, and his eyes were full of tears and runny nose.
Lu Jing said in a deep voice: "Who ordered you to poison me?" The eunuch said repeatedly: "No, no, I didn't, no..."
Lu Jing shouted loudly: "Nonsense! I know it was you two who poisoned me! Listen to me: whoever confesses honestly first, you or your companion, will survive. Whoever fails to confess or confesses late will be saved except
Except for myself, my whole family will be executed, no one will be spared!!"
After Lu Jing finished speaking, he used his saber to slash the eunuch's chest and abdomen several times, making several large cuts in his clothes. Because Lu Jing's knife skills were not good, he accidentally cut the skin of his chest and abdomen several times.
The wound was dripping with blood. If Lu Jing had been replaced by Su Feng, who was superb in swordsmanship, the eunuch would have been frightened, but he would have been spared the pain of bleeding.
Lu Jing walked out of the room and went to the room where the other eunuch who delivered the food box was detained, and threatened him again in the same way as before. This eunuch was even more timid. In addition to being scared to the point of tears and nose, his crotch was also wet.
He took a big piece of it, but he didn't admit that he poisoned it.
Lu Jing thought to himself: Are these two guys really innocent? It's possible, because if they were really the poisoners, they would have escaped long ago...
He walked outside angrily and shouted at the group of Shangshan Supervisors: "There is a big case in the palace, and I want to get to the bottom of it now! If anyone dares to conceal it or not report it, he will be guilty like the prisoner.
