Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Gao Qiu, and Yang Jian falsely accused Lu Junyi and brought him to the capital, so that the emperor would give him royal food, but they had mercury inside. On his way back, Lu Junyi reached the Huaihe River in Sizhou. The mercury fell into his waist and crotch and into his bone marrow. He fell into the Huaihe River and died. The four traitors then instigated the emperor to send two bottles of imperial wine to Song Jiang. The traitor secretly put poison in the imperial wine and sent it to Chuzhou for Song Jiang to drink.

He was buried together with Li Kui in Liao'erwa, south gate of Chuzhou. Wu Yong and Hua Rong hanged themselves to death.
