"Lv Wu, didn't you write to me and tell me that you were going back to Beijing with the Lin family's water transport fleet? Why did you change the land route again? And I heard from my second uncle that you and Xiaohu left without saying goodbye. What's going on?
?" Lin Jue asked.
Lu Wu said softly: "Sir, I originally planned to come to Beijing with my family's fleet. But... you know? Someone... went to Hangzhou to find me and forced me to return to Beijing with her. I could only
Follow her back to Beijing."
Lin Jue was stunned and asked with confusion: "What's going on? Why didn't I understand?"
Lu Wu looked at the door, looking a little cautious. Lin Jue got up and went to the door to take a look. He saw Bai Bing standing at the door with his arms folded. Zheng Zhexue and others were sitting or standing under the corridor more than ten steps away.
Feeling relieved, he turned around, sat down, and whispered, "You can tell them, they can't hear you."
Lu Wu whispered: "Yes... yes... Rong... Concubine Rong went to Hangzhou to find me..."
Lin Jue was startled and lost his voice: "What? How did she go?"
Lu Wu frowned and said, "Yeah. She said...she missed me a lot and said that I hadn't been to the palace to see her for many days, so she inquired about the news and found out that I had come to Hangzhou. So she left the palace and came to Hangzhou from the capital.
She came to see me. She said that she told the emperor that the prince who died in her dream told her to go to Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou to burn incense for his salvation, otherwise he would not be at peace under the spring. She used this reason to be incognito.
When you leave the palace and come to Hangzhou, you actually come to see me."
Lin Jue was surprised and speechless, but at the same time he felt a vague sense of crisis. It was not surprising that Concubine Rong went to Hangzhou to find Lu Wu. What was strange was why Lu Wu and Xiao Hu were in Mengcheng County.
Walking alone, he was kidnapped and taken to Prince Huai's Mansion. This was obviously a mismatch. Something must have happened.
"... She said... that she wanted me to ride the carriage back to Beijing with her, and that she could talk to me on the way. I didn't want to, but... but... you know, after all... after all... she ran so far
Go find me. Besides, I don’t want my family to know these things. So I asked her to write a letter and leave it in our small courtyard, and followed her overland in a carriage." Green dance sounded.
He said like a mosquito.
"Then what happened next? What I found out was that you two were kidnapped in Mengcheng County. Where is Concubine Rong? Why isn't she with you?" Lin Jue frowned.
Lu Wu whispered: "This is exactly what I want to tell you. We walked all the way for five days, and when we arrived at Jiangning Mansion, she said she wanted to spend two days in Jiangning. That night, we went boating on the Qinhuai River.
I was having fun at first, but suddenly something happened and I immediately returned to the inn. After returning to the inn, she found me and said that she could not return to Beijing with me because her guards found out.
Someone was following us. She was worried that being with me would reveal my relationship with her, which would cause a lot of trouble. Therefore, she wanted to take a boat back to Beijing by water. She asked Xiaohu and I to take a carriage slowly by land.
Just go back to Beijing. She said she was sorry. She originally wanted to have a good time with me and come to Beijing, but she had no choice but to leave halfway."
Lin Jue's brows had furrowed into a big pimple. He had already realized that something was wrong before, and after hearing Lu Wu's words, Lin Jue felt that things were by no means simple. Concubine Rong and Lu Wu walked together and encountered other people.
Tracking and surveillance is actually a serious matter.
"...I actually didn't want to go with her, but...I felt she was a little pitiful. After all...I couldn't deny my relationship with her. She was leaving, but I was relieved. That night, she got on the boat and left.
Xiaohu and I moved to a small inn, and we didn’t find anyone suspicious. Then we took the carriage all the way north. It wasn’t until the next morning when we arrived in Mengcheng County, when Xiaohu and I were getting ready to go on the road.
, on a remote street in Beicheng, Mengcheng County, five or six officers and soldiers suddenly sprang out and blocked us indiscriminately. Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiaohu took an iron rod to resist, but was knocked down by them.
I was tied up and stuffed in the car. Those people threatened me that if I dared to resist, they would kill Xiaohu. They asked us to be obedient and they would not hurt me. I was scared to death, and I was afraid that they would really do it.
He killed Xiaohu, so he could only listen to their words and dare not speak out. After that, he returned all the way to the capital and was imprisoned in the palace." Lu Wu continued.
Lin Hu blushed and said, "Xiaohu, I'm sorry for you, uncle. Xiaohu has no ability. If he had Sister Bing'er's ability, those officers and soldiers wouldn't be a problem. But with only three punches and two kicks, I was knocked down by them."
But I didn’t give in. I broke the head of an officer and soldier, and although my nose and face were bruised and swollen by them, I didn’t ask for mercy or say a word.”
Lin Jue nodded and said: "It's not your fault. They came prepared. In fact, they have been waiting for you there for three days. They just went to kidnap you. Skills are learned slowly, and sometimes they are not always the same.
It's fists and feet, but brains are also very important. If you can be more careful and resourceful, you may have sensed the danger around you in Jiangning, and you may be able to avoid this disaster. Since you were targeted by unknown people in Jiangning, although maybe
We are going for Concubine Rong, but you must also be under their surveillance, you should be aware of the danger."
Lin Hu paused and said: "Hey, yes, I was really stupid. Later I figured it out. I was too stupid."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "That's okay. If they decide to kidnap you, it will be difficult for you two to escape. Lu Wu, what did King Huai ask you during this time? Tell me."
Lu Wu frowned and said, "He seemed to want to know about my relationship with Concubine Rong. When he asked questions, he always tried to probe me in circles. I ignored him at all. He also asked about the young master, but I didn't either.
Ignore him. He threatened me that he would kill me if I didn't tell him anything, but I still ignored him. I will never let him trick me to death. He has no good intentions. Xiaohu, you are not talking nonsense.
"
Lin Hu puffed up his chest and said: "Me? They also asked me these things, but I didn't reveal a word. I even scolded him. That day when King Huai came to ask me something, I scolded him so hard that he almost became angry.
Kill me. His men stopped him. He wanted me to speak, but it was impossible. I will never betray my sister and uncle Lu Wu."
Lu Wu nodded and praised: "Xiaohu, that's good. That's right. These people have bad intentions, so don't let them take advantage of you. Although I don't know what they want to do, I know they must do bad things."
Lin Jue was pondering beside him. He looked calm on the surface, but in fact, he was already stirred up in his heart. Originally, Lin Jue thought that King Huai's kidnapping of Lu Wu was entirely aimed at him, but now, Lin Jue doesn't think so anymore. Pass
In the narration of Lu Wu, the whole thing actually has a rough outline. Lu Wu went to Hangzhou to relax. Concubine Rong missed her daughter and ran to Hangzhou to meet Lu Wu, forcing Lu Wu to return to Beijing with her. On the way, she was killed by an unknown person.
The identity of the person was targeted, and Concubine Rong had no choice but to take a waterway and leave first. Then Lu Wu and Xiaohu were kidnapped in Mengcheng. Prince Huai later asked Lu Wu many times about her relationship with Concubine Rong.
Who are these unidentified people spying on Concubine Rong? It is almost certain that they are most likely from the same mastermind as those who kidnapped Lu Wu and Xiao Hu. If it was just for revenge that he kidnapped Lu Wu, then what?
Why bother to provoke Concubine Rong and monitor Concubine Rong's whereabouts? Concubine Rong has a noble status and no one dares to spy on her rudely, which is tantamount to asking for trouble. But even if someone dares to take the risk to monitor her, then they will be
There is a major reason to monitor her.
The reason why Concubine Rong left halfway was probably because she was worried that her purpose of coming to Hangzhou to reunite with Lu Wu would be revealed. The relationship between Concubine Rong and Lu Wu is highly confidential, and involves the shocking secret of the civet cat exchanging for the crown prince. If so,
Concubine Rong is being targeted. Is it possible that someone with an interest in this matter has sniffed out clues about this matter, so he took the risk to monitor her.
Think about it more straightforwardly. If King Huai, Lu Zhongtian and others suspected the relationship between Lu Wu and Concubine Rong, so they sent people to monitor Concubine Rong, and finally kidnapped Lu Wu to find out something, this whole thing
Only then will the connection be smooth. And once they know the secret of the whole thing, the court will set off a huge wave. Concubine Rong’s crime of deceiving the emperor is exposed, and the Liang Palace will not be able to escape from the involvement. Even the Queen Mother will be implicated.
Naturally, he himself could not escape being implicated. This series of blows hit all the powerful supporting forces behind King Jin. It can be said that all the people who supported King Jin were taken away in one fell swoop.
Who benefits? It’s self-explanatory.
Not only can he have the absolute upper hand in the fight for the crown prince, but he can also eliminate all the forces that are on the opposite side of Lu Zhongtian in one fell swoop. This secret can be said to be of great importance, affecting the heads of countless people and the overall direction of the court.
I thought that the kidnapping of Lu Wu was just revenge for King Huai and was aimed at me. This was really pretentious. This incident was only a small part of the incident against me. They were targeting a much larger opponent. They wanted to kill them.
Overturned in one fell swoop. The only question now is, how much evidence do they have? It seems that the key evidence is not there. That's because they are stuck with Green Dance. They don't want to use force against Green Dance yet, but just slowly
If Lu Wu is not smart enough and is tricked by them, the next step may be a thunderbolt and it will be out of control.
Lin Jue broke out in a cold sweat. No matter what, Lu Wu and Lin Hu must be rescued immediately, otherwise there is no guarantee that they will jump over the wall and use torture to extract a confession. Although he has absolute confidence in Lu Wu and Lin Hu, he cannot look at Lu Wu and Lin Hu.
Wu and Lin Hu were tortured by them here. But the problem was that he could not agree to any of the three conditions proposed by King Huai. As soon as he agreed, he would completely violate the bottom line and must serve King Huai without any intention.
.This is absolutely unacceptable to Lin Jue. Lin Jue must make a decision.
