Chapter 259 Retreat and Responsibilities

After Chu Xuliang sent someone to take Wei Jian away, Lu Heng left for Jiangning Mansion alone.

After talking with Wei Jian for a long time, it was already noon.

The curfew had already been imposed, and at this time, there were more and more pedestrians in the Yamen.

In the reopened tavern, everyone was talking about the turmoil in the city last night. Of course, some people also talked about the misfortune of that family, which was affected by the turmoil last night, and the whole family died miserably.

As he spoke, the sound of sighs could not be heard.

Lu Heng sat at the table by the window and ordered a cup of tea. Taking in the scent of the tea, he walked through the window and looked at the bustling scene of traffic downstairs. In his ears, the voices of people talking could be heard, and some lamented the tragedy.

The unfortunate people also laughed and ridiculed the Japanese people for not being able to do what they could. Those who spoke were only a few, and more people were listening.

After sitting in silence for a while, the waiter slammed the towel on his shoulder on the table in front of Lu Heng, and said to Lu Heng with a sarcastic look, you can either order food or leave quickly and give up your seat to others. Don't

Don’t poop while standing in the latrine.

Lu Heng then clasped his fists and said sorry to the waiter, packed up his things, and left from his seat by the window.

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

He reached out and patted the waiter on the shoulder.

The waiter in the shop was heading in the direction where Lu Heng was leaving. He was full of filthy words and insulted the poor scholar. He was suddenly slapped and was shocked.

Turning around, I saw that the person in front of me was the patron who ordered three jars of aged wine in one go.

The look of disdain on the waiter's face suddenly turned into a flattering smile: "Hey, sir, what else do you want?"

"I want your head!" The strong man looked down at the waiter with a dark face and sneered.

This strong man's gaze was like a sharp sword, piercing people's hearts. Being stared at by this strong man, the waiter couldn't help but curl up and became smaller.

"Master, you are joking!" The waiter swallowed his saliva and said with a smile.

The strong man impatiently stretched out his hand, grabbed the waiter by the collar, and with a groan, lifted him up.

"I'm not kidding you!" The strong man looked up and down at the waiter, as if he were looking at a dead person.

"Master, master, what do you want to do?" Being carried like this by the strong man, the waiter suddenly smelled the strong smell of blood coming from the strong man.

He lowered his head and took a look, only to find that the shoes on the strong man's feet were still blood red.

The waiter in the shop was suddenly startled, and begged for mercy with tears in his eyes, "Master, Master, please have mercy on me!"

"Give me a reason!" The strong man was in a very depressed mood, and what he said was obviously to make the waiter happy.

"Agui!" At this moment, the scholar who went downstairs came back again.

He stood at the place going down the stairs, looking at the strong man quietly with a faint smile on his face. After looking at it for a while, the scholar smiled slightly and said, "Let's go!"

After finishing speaking, the scholar walked straight away.

"Damn it, let's show off our tricks from now on!" Agui raised his hand and threw the waiter on the table, then left with a curse.

The waiter was thrown on the table, and with a crash, the table was smashed into pieces and scattered into a pile of sawdust. The waiter, who had tea in his head and tiles in his head, rubbed his body and climbed up from the ruins.

"Boy, do you know who the scholar you just scolded is?" In the crowd, a richly dressed young man who should be from a wealthy family in the city came over. He folded his arms and looked at the man sitting on the ground, smiling happily.

road.

"Young Master Zhang, you have to make decisions for this villain! Such a wicked person dares to commit murder in broad daylight. It's totally unreasonable!" When the waiter saw this young master coming over, he burst into tears and knelt down to kowtow.

"No, don't beg me, young master. Young master, I am not as brave as you. I dare to provoke him and make the decision? Haha, young master, I am not as bold as you, nor do I have such great abilities." The rich young master smiled lightly and said,

After shaking his head and saying something, he turned around, passed through the window, and watched the owner downstairs slowly leaving. He sighed deeply, his eyes full of admiration, and said to himself

He said, "The most untouchable person in Jiangning City right now is the scholar just now!"

"He, who is he?" Seeing the usually lawless and arrogant Mr. Zhang, with a look of fear and admiration on his face when looking at the scholar, he couldn't help but change his face, and his heart

I know that I have offended someone I shouldn't have offended today.

"Lu Heng, Lu Yongzheng!" Mr. Zhang looked at the scholar who was going over there, sighed deeply, and said, "Oh, the greatest young master in the history of Jiangning is none other than him!"

After such admiration, it was obvious that he still had some unfinished thoughts. Mr. Zhang stroked a wisp of beard on his chin, his eyes full of longing, "When will I, Mr. Zhang, be able to reach that level? I am really an idol!"

The streets are busy with traffic, and the cries of vendors can be heard all the time.

The lively street scene was the same as before. It seemed that the killing yesterday had been forgotten by these people. Perhaps, they had never even cared about it.

Badi······

Ha, actually, this is fine too.

At first, Lu was worried that if something like that happened in Jiangning City, people would inevitably make random guesses, which would lead to rumors spreading everywhere, allowing people with intentions to take advantage of the opportunity to enter and do evil.

Now it seems that I am a little too worried.

However, having said that, Yushi Lu was not only good at being a censor, but also a good spy. It seemed that he was also very capable as an official.

His ability to control the situation so steadily cannot be underestimated.

When I walk aimlessly on the street and pass by the vendors, I always stop to take a look. Occasionally I pick up one or two items and ask about the price.

However, after hearing the vendor's talk about the price of flying, the scholar shook his head and left with a look of regret.

I walked and stopped, occasionally stopping, playing with the items on the street stalls, raising my head, chatting and bargaining with the vendor. It seemed to be very leisurely and elegant.

However, Agui, who was far behind, raised his sleeves and wiped the tears from his eyes after seeing the young master acting like this.

Although the time he spent with the young master was infrequent, he knew the young master very well.

The young master doesn't like to go shopping. He will only go shopping in person unless he is buying things to give as gifts. Or when the young master is in a bad mood.

After seeing the young master walking in front of him, Agui stopped at a shop selling funeral supplies. Agui could no longer hold back the guilt in his heart, and tears flowed from his eyes.

After ordering some things in the store, Lu Heng left the money and told the shopkeeper to deliver the things to the place where Zhang Wenshan used to live. Well, it is now behind Lu Heng's small courtyard. Then he stood up and left.

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

The painted Qinhuai River is still so calm, with a thin mist lingering on the river surface, fluttering slightly with the breeze.

After Lu Heng walked into the small pavilion, he found a seat, wiped it clean with his sleeves casually, and sat down.

On the river, a gentle breeze blew, and the water gurgled. The wind on the river blew into the pavilion, making it feel cool as it floated on my cheeks.

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

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

He said calmly: "Agui, come out!"

Behind him, there was a rustle in the trees, and Agui lowered his head and walked out with self-reproach.

"Sir, I..." Agui walked to the small pavilion, stood in front of Lu Heng, and knelt down.

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

"Agui is sorry for the young master's trust, so Mrs. Cangxue..." Agui raised his sleeves, wiped the tears on his face, and said in a deep voice.

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

There is no choice but to let the flowers fall away!

Lu Heng shook his head and said to himself with a sad smile.

"Young Master..." Seeing Lu Heng's expression, Agui felt even more guilty and wanted 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. He looked calmly at the shining river surface and said lightly.

Outside the pavilion, there was the rolling river. At this time, the sun was shining, shining on the smooth, mirror-like surface of the river, casting bursts of dazzling sparkling light.

The winter wind blows and the river surface ripples slightly.

The water corridor lapped at the shore and hit the stone pillars of the pavilion, creating a lot of waves.

Who spoke softly, recalling that in this pavilion, everything was very calm, yet very depressing.

"Send a letter to King Huainan and Lord Zhang!" Lu Heng took a deep breath and his eyes became terrifyingly calm.

"Tell them that Lu is going to kill Wei Jian and give them seven days to get ready!" Lu Hen said quietly, with a faint smile on his face; "Oh, it's better to put aside the relationship.

Just pretend not to know. In short, stay away from me!"

What he said was not that Lu Heng said that King Huainan and the others were ruthless and unjust. On the contrary, it was precisely because Lu Heng knew that if King Huainan knew that he was going to take risks, the old man would definitely follow him into the dark side. That's why he said this

.

He is a relative of the emperor, a prince of the imperial court, and his future prospects are limitless. The old man has waited for so many years, and finally has the opportunity to be reactivated by the emperor. Now, like the condor of Nanshan, which has been silent for many years, it is soaring into the sky.

When he becomes a blockbuster, once he goes over the top or does something bad, he will definitely be attacked wildly by his political opponents.

Lu Heng said this because he hoped that the old man could clearly understand the intricacies of the current situation at this time and not get involved in Jiang Ning's affairs. Otherwise, many years of hard work would be ruined in one day.

The same is true for Zhang Wenshan, the old man.

The old man had been working hard for many years, and finally got a chance to get ahead. Because of his incident, his future was ruined. He was guilty of the most serious crime.

"Anyway, take it seriously!" 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 won’t be impulsive!

Lu Heng shook his head, a wry smile appeared on his determined face.!
