HBWnovel Chapter 244
Chapter 244
What really matters should be the two words Dong and Yao.
Just based on these two words, you really can’t guess much information, take the word “Dong” for example.
It can refer to a direction or a place name. Considering Lu Yi's situation, it is even reasonable to say that it is a comeback.
Unable to think of any clues for a moment, Wei Wu could only look at Lu Gu.
"Lu Gu, right?! I don't want to waste time talking to you either. Tell me everything you know."
When he heard Wei Wu calling his name, Lu Gu, with a tired face, raised his head.
"Uncle Changle, I dare not hide anything, but after I tell you, I hope that Uncle Changle can keep me safe."
After Lu Gu finished speaking, Wei Wu was so angry that he laughed on the spot.
"Safe? Haha, are you out of your mind? Don't you know what your Lu family has done?"
"If we really want to investigate, it wouldn't be too much to execute the entire Lu family and exterminate all nine generations of your clan. Now only one of your entire family has died."
"If I were you, I would have burned incense and thanked the gods for their protection. Yet you're still thinking about peace!"
At this point, Wei Wu's tone suddenly turned cold.
"I'm telling you, if you tell me, I won't guarantee your safety, but if you don't tell me, I guarantee you won't be safe!"
"If you don't tell me within five breaths, I'll send you directly to the Imperial Guards' prison. They have plenty of ways to make you talk."
"one!"
"two!"
"Four!"
Lu Gu, who was still hesitating, immediately lost his mind when he heard Wei Wu jump to four without even counting to three.
"Speak, speak, I'll tell you everything you want to know!"
In fact, at that time, the Jinyiwei was not very famous, and the imperial prison was not as scary as it was later.
But Lu Gu himself is not a strong-willed tough guy, and he also knows what kind of person he is.
To put it bluntly, he is just a fat-bellied Jiangnan gentleman.
Although he has not experienced the methods used in prison, it does not mean that he does not understand them.
Rather than being tortured to a point where life is worse than death, it is better to seek a quick death.
Wei Wu smiled contemptuously at Lu Gu's answer.
"Tell us all the dirty deeds that your Lu family has done! Smallpox, the White Lotus Sect, Li Feng, and your connection to Qufu!"
Smallpox, White Lotus Sect, Li Feng, every time Wei Wu said a word, Lu Gu's expression became more terrified.
He couldn't understand why Wei Wu knew all these extremely secret things.
But when Wei Wu mentioned Qufu, a hint of surprise flashed in Lu Gu's eyes.
Wei Wu happened to catch this hint of surprise, and he sighed inwardly on the spot.
The expression a person shows in a moment is the most real. I'm afraid Lu Gu really doesn't know these things.
There are only two possibilities. Either the Lu family really has no connection with Qufu, but is just colluding with the White Lotus Sect.
Or maybe Lu Yi hid it so well that even his own brother didn't know about it.
Just as Wei Wu was lost in thought, Lu Gu also spoke.
"Lord Changle, you said our Lü family and Qufu..."
"Okay, you just need to tell me what you know. Let's talk about smallpox first. Why did you do this?"
Before Lu Gu could finish his words, Wei Wu interrupted him.
Now he was at the mercy of others, so Lu Gu didn't dare to hide anything and spoke honestly:
"The smallpox incident was indeed caused by our Lu family. My eldest brother and I have argued about this more than once."
Having said that, Lu Gu's eyes were full of resentment, but in the end he just sighed.
"We are already royal relatives, and our family is extremely wealthy, yet he insists on risking the lives of our entire family."
"He wasn't like this before. He went on a long trip a few years ago and he seemed like a completely different person after he came back."
"Not only is he plotting against the royal family, he's actually dealing with those evil people from the White Lotus Sect. No matter how much I try to persuade him, he won't listen."
When Wei Wu heard this, his eyes suddenly fixed and he immediately interrupted.
"Wait, you just said he went on a long trip a few years ago and changed after returning. What was the exact date?"
Lu Gu frowned and recalled for a moment, then gave the answer.
"Four years ago, I just remember it was not long after the Dragon Boat Festival."
Upon hearing this, Wei Wu frowned and lowered his head in thought.
Now it is the fifteenth year of Hongwu, and four years ago it was the eleventh year of Hongwu.
It seems that Crown Princess Chang gave birth to Zhu Yunhuan in November of this year, and died within a dozen days.
In May of the eleventh year of Hongwu, Lu Yi returned home with a changed temperament. Half a year later, Crown Princess Chang passed away.
Afterwards, Crown Princess Lu was made the legitimate wife, and the Lu family officially rose to prominence. It was such a coincidence!
Could it be that after the Xiongying incident, even Chang's death was related to Lu?
Just as Wei Wu frowned and thought, Lu Gu didn't know what happened and slowly lowered his head.
I have to say that Lu Gu is just like what his brother Lu Yi said, a cowardly fool.
He lowered his head to hide something, thinking he was being discreet, but he forgot there were four people standing next to him.
When these four people captured him, they revealed their identities as Jinyiwei.
Although Wei Wu didn't notice his expression, Zhang Hai and others beside him kept staring at Lu Guzai.
Doing these little tricks under the eyes of the Jinyiwei is as conspicuous as a bright light in the dark.
So without waiting for Wei Wu to come to his senses, Zhang Hai stepped forward and grabbed Lu Gu's collar.
Then he took a dagger from a team member next to him and put the blade under Lu Gu's eyelids.
"You dare to play tricks in front of our young master? If you don't behave yourself, I will pick out your eyeballs and let you see for yourself!"
Hearing Zhang Hai's voice, Wei Wu came back to his senses.
Looking at Lu Gu's terrified face, his eyes also gloomy.
"The Lu family is so bold! Tell us how you killed Crown Princess Chang!!"
