Chapter 384 Action Failed(2/2)
This "car accident" was obviously the responsibility of the coachman. Originally, the subordinate came here to teach the coachman a lesson.
However, on the same day, it was discovered that the victim did not seem to be from Tang Dynasty, and his attitude immediately changed.
If you are not from the Tang Dynasty, then who do you think you are?
"Humph, we are the envoys of the Tubo Kingdom. This injured one is our Prime Minister. Why don't you take down the coachman? He is committing murder!"
Although Serugong was in awe of the power of the Tang Dynasty these days, he still felt that there was nothing to be afraid of when facing a coachman.
The most important thing is that they are clearly responsible for this matter today.
"It is up to the government to decide what the situation is. It is not your turn to judge here. However, if you beat someone on the street, it is obvious to all."
The subordinate official was not intimidated by Serugong's words.
There are many barbarians in Chang'an City. No matter whether you are an envoy or prime minister, or a prince or noble, you have nothing to do with your subordinates. There is no need for him to pay attention to their threats.
"Serugong, don't argue. The coachman made an unintentional mistake. You also hit him. This matter is settled. Let's go back first."
Lu Dongzan's face turned pale in pain.
However, the more critical the moment, the more calm you need.
Lu Dongzan's mind was extremely clear at this moment.
Although there seemed to be nothing particularly suspicious about the "car accident" just now, Lu Dongzan was inexplicably reminded of Li Kuan's murderous intention in the courtyard of Prince Chu's Mansion.
It is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist.
Lu Dongzan felt that if he didn't leave Chang'an City quickly, he might not be able to leave.
There will be a car accident today, and there may be a fire accidentally tomorrow.
I can escape once or twice, but what about the third or fourth time?
"Prime Minister, this is already a red card. If the driver doesn't slow down, it's obvious..."
What else did Serugong want to say?
"That's enough, let's go back first. Is it more important to heal my leg or to hold the coachman responsible here?"
Lu Dongzan rarely lost his temper against Serugong.
This guy can't grasp the key points at the critical moment.
He is just a coachman, so what will happen if you kill him?
And looking at the attitude of the subordinate in front of you, it's hard to say whether they will hold you accountable for beating someone first.
After all, Lu Dongzan was the biggest victim. Since they all said they would not pursue the case, the subordinate officials naturally decided that one more thing would be better than one less thing. They stopped worrying about anything and let both parties leave the scene.
After a while, only a pool of blood on the roadside that had not yet been cleaned reminded passers-by that something had just happened here.
…
"Your Majesty, my subordinate is not doing things well, please punish me!"
In a room in the annex of the Prince of Chu's Mansion, Wang Xuanwu was half-kneeling on one knee and reporting to Li Kuan on the assassination of Lu Dongzan.
"Forget it, Lu Dongzan's life should not be cut off today. Let's wait until they, Li Kuan Chang'an, find another opportunity."
If an accident like a car accident happens once, even if everyone is suspicious, it is just suspicion.
If we encounter them one after another, there will really be no more than three hundred taels of silver in this place.
Li Kuan is not that stupid.
"After Lu Dongzan and his party returned to their residence, someone immediately went to find several doctors. One of them should have stayed there. However, judging from the situation, there should be no life-threatening danger, but one of the soles of his feet is probably going to be disabled."
Although the operation failed, the surveillance on Lu Dongzan and his party was not relaxed for a quarter of an hour.
"Okay, I understand, please step back first."
In the next few days, Wang Xuanwu would report to Li Kuan every day the situation related to Lu Dongzan.
"For three consecutive days, there were no roads in Ludongzan and Serugong?"
Li Kuan had a puzzled expression on his face, which seemed a bit abnormal.
not good!
He escaped!
Li Kuan walked back and forth in the room several times and suddenly thought of something.
"Xuanwu, ask the steward of the printing workshop to visit Lu Dongzan, just to discuss the purchase of paper and see if he can meet Lu Dongzan."
Li Kuan had a hunch that Lu Dongzan must have keenly sensed the danger and escaped from Chang'an City in advance.
As expected, he is indeed a figure who has left a great reputation in history. His life is very tough.
Next, as expected by Li Kuan, only one insignificant person among the Tubo envoys came out to receive the people from the printing workshop, saying that Lu Dongzan had a leg injury and could not see the guests.
After Li Kuan heard the report, although he was a little reluctant, he still gave up the pursuit.
This Lu Dongzan must have been gone for several days. Although we don't know how he escaped, he must have been hurrying away from Chang'an.
Unless he sends out a large number of guards and pursues them everywhere with great fanfare, there is no chance of success.
