"Crying?" Zong Zhao frowned.

He should be talking about Xiao Kui.

Could crying also induce pain in Zong Yan?

Zong Zhao pushed open the door and saw Zong Yan trembling. He curled up his legs and hid in the corner of the bed, holding his head with both hands. He was a little unconscious and kept mumbling.

"Zong Yan?" Zong Zhao lowered his voice and leaned over to listen to what he was saying. He only heard a few words intermittently, "It's not intentional", "It's not me", "Don't die".

"Zong Yan, what's wrong with you?"

Zong Yan covered his ears, raised his red eyes, and said desperately, "Let me go, let me go..."

Zong Zhao observed him carefully. It didn't seem like physical pain, but more like being stimulated by something. "Are you afraid of the baby's cry?"

Zong Yan shrank back to the corner and covered his ears tightly with his hands, but the sound he heard only weakened, but did not disappear.

He didn't answer, and Zong Zhao was basically sure, "I'll move you to another yard."

Zong Zhao's action is always strong.

While asking the old marquis to arrange a courtyard farthest from here and the quietest, he untied the other end of the chain and took Zong Yan there.

The new room was very quiet.

Zong Zhao could clearly feel that Zong Yan had calmed down.

He was just afraid of the crying of the baby.

Considering the few words he said, Zong Zhao always had a bad premonition, and intuitively felt that there must be a bad experience in the middle.

That night, Zong Zhao stayed again.

He accompanied Zong Yan to sleep until midnight, when Zong Yan suddenly said in a hoarse voice, "I am a bad person."

Zong Zhao was startled and opened his eyes. He remembered that Zong Yan had served the Prince of Jin'an, but...

"You are not a bad person, Zong Yan, don't think so, don't sentence yourself to death easily." He comforted, "Even if you helped the Prince of Jin'an kill some princes and helped him seize the throne, they were also princes of Youguo and our enemies. You are helping them kill each other, and you are not wrong."

Zong Yan did not reply and fell into silence again.

Zong Zhao had a lot of doubts, but Zong Yan refused to tell him, and he didn't dare to force Zong Yan, for fear of irritating him.

A few days later, the spy in Youguo came back.

He brought back all the news about Zong Yan.

It turned out that Zong Yan, who was sixteen years old, met Prince Jin'an. That year, their team was deceived by Zong Qiyun to die, and it was Prince Jin'an who led people to encircle and suppress them.

On the edge of the cliff, Zong Yan gave the Iron Claw Hook to Zong Zhao and turned to fight desperately with Youguo. All of this fell into the eyes of Prince Jin'an.

Good at making hidden weapons, valuing friendship and righteousness, and having high martial arts skills... If he could be used by him, it would be a pity to die.

So, Prince Jin'an took Zong Yan back to Youguo. At first, he was just tamed like a captive, but he was still disobedient after being locked up for three years. Later, I don't know what happened, Zong Yan suddenly became Prince Jin'an's adviser.

Facts have proved that Prince Jin'an has vision.

Zong Yan made a hidden iron wire weapon, as thin as a thread, as short as a needle, as sharp as a lance, and it killed people without blood. That night, he sent away a powerful general, and cut off the idea of ​​the prince behind him to seize the throne.

Prince Jin'an was cruel and ruthless. He took advantage of the victory to slaughter the whole family of the general's mansion, from the elderly to the babies in their cradles, and spared no one.

The fire burned in the capital for two days and two nights.

The history books recorded that the general's family died in the fire, but who in the court didn't know that they died from the struggle between the court parties?

And Prince Jin'an even blamed the incident on another prince, watching the fight secretly. It was not until he inherited the throne of the prince that the truth behind the bloody case was discovered.

After this incident, Zong Yan disappeared for four years.

After hearing this, Zong Zhao understood that although the brutal act of slaughtering the whole family was done by Prince Jin'an, Zong Yan must have believed that he was the instigator, so he would never work for Prince Jin'an again.

Zong Zhao did not dare to think deeply, "He is so afraid of the crying of babies, was he at the scene when the family was slaughtered..."

The spy replied, "I don't know the specific situation. Anyway, the second son never appeared again. Until five years later, another prince and important minister died in assassination, but there was no more massacre. I guess that Prince Jin'an could not persuade the second son and compromised for this."

Zong Zhao shook his head, "After such an incident, Zong Yan could not work for Prince Jin'an again. The injuries on his body... Have you found out whether Zong Yan was poisoned? Or is there any poison in Youguo that cannot be diagnosed by pulse diagnosis?"

The spy thought for a while and said, "There is no such poison, but... there is a Gu."

"Gu?" Zong Zhao had only seen such records in wild books, but most of them were fictional and had never seen them in reality.

The spy replied, "Yes, Gu. It is said in Youguo that there is a kind of magic Gu, which is given by God to wise rulers and is very effective in controlling subordinates. But there is only one such magic Gu, and it is kept by successive emperors of Youguo and cannot be used. Prince Jin'an is just a newly promoted crown prince, and it is impossible for him to get the magic Gu many years ago."

So the idea of ​​Gu worms is also an illusion in Youguo.

Zong Zhao replied, "I know, you can leave now."

"Yes."

Zong Zhao sent a message to Feng Qinglai a month ago, but he has not received a reply until now. The old man likes to wander around. If we wait for him to show up, we don't know how long we will have to wait.

Thinking of this, Zong Zhao sat down and drew a picture for Feng Qinglai, and said to the outside, "Come here, in the name of the Zong family, a reward will be posted all over the country. Anyone who finds this person will be rewarded with one thousand taels."

Servants: "!"

Suddenly I want to quit my job and find someone! !

The huge bounty was posted, and the whole Chu State was in an uproar.

The usual bounty was only a hundred coins or a few taels, and no more than a few dozen taels. Who had ever seen a thousand taels of silver?

This was enough to keep you from worrying about food and drink for the rest of your life!

So in the following daily life, many funny things were discovered. The way people greeted each other changed from "Have you eaten?" to "Have you seen that old man?"

People who usually don't like to go out now go out every day to see if there is a big "one thousand taels" on the street.

People who usually don't look at the people around them when walking now look at this and that, and even copy a portrait by hand, waiting to see similar people to start comparing.

The power of silver is terrible.

Less than half a month later, among a bunch of people who came to the door to identify "I found the real Feng Qinglai", an old man with a white beard carried by eight strong men howled loudly "Damn it! You recognized the wrong person!!!"
