The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Master Guo came to look for Jia Xu, and said that there was an organ under the house connected to the tunnel of the Shu Palace.Jia Xu said: "This matter must be discussed with our third master. Mr. Guo's identity seems to be concealed from the King of Shu."

Master Guo said: "I came here specifically to find him."

Jia Xu then went inside and called Jia Cong.Jia Cong came out with a smile and cupped his hands to Mr. Guo: "Mr. Guo has figured it out. What's the point of hiding your son in someone else's house? You gave birth to a hundred sons, and none of them called you father; in the future, you will take care of others , Giving birth to someone else's grandson, how aggrieved. Whoever wants to kill you, you kill him first, this is the man!"

Master Guo sighed: "If I had no other choice, I wouldn't make such a bad move. People who do things like us will eventually be wiped out by everyone."

"Understood!" Jia Cong clapped his hands and said, "I didn't tell the name of Mrs. Guo, King of Shu, but I only said that he was a craftsman who was good at making tunnels. He is dead now. There is no need to investigate after death. Because the old man doesn't want his son. Taking over this skill has specially made him an incompetent idler. He was afraid of being wiped out, and he had already exchanged his own grandson for someone else's children to raise him. Your group of illegitimate children didn't even mention it."

Master Guo thanked him with a salute, and thought: "Since this is the case, after all, Guo Shu has enmity with the King of Shu, so now I only say that my surname is Yuan."

Jia Cong suddenly felt chills, and immediately said: "It's not right. If someone recognizes you, wouldn't they mistakenly think that you and Uncle Yuan have exchanged? Their family has never had anything to do with yours, so why bother to hold on to him?" He raised your son for nine years in vain. Since Mr. Guo wants to destroy the other family first, why should he be afraid of him? Just pick from a hundred family names."

Master Guo had no choice but to take a "Zhao".He said again: "The children of the Yuan family are in the hands of the Fang family."

"I guessed it. Your family actually wants to give them hostages?"

Master Guo smiled wryly and said, "I'm afraid my father will leave the drawings or tell others."

"Oh." Jia Cong didn't dare to force him too much, and had to rely on him to check the tunnel.Nai sat down and said, "Thinking about it, after this matter is over, Mr. Yuan doesn't want to rely on his ancestral skills to serve the lords."

Master Guo said: "Our family's craftsmanship is only used for self-defense, if it is used to serve the nobleman, it is courting death."

Jia Cong said: "Mr. Guo is a sensible person. Then I just say that you are my friend who came from elsewhere to help me, okay?" Master Guo nodded slightly.

Asking him about those disgusting corpses, Master Guo was stunned for a moment and said: "This matter has nothing to do with my Guo family, my father only cares about tunnels and institutions." Jia Cong and Jia Xu looked at each other.

That night, Jia Cong led Mr. Guo to Qiu Liang's mansion, and Chen Ruijin even put a beard on Mr. Guo and put on some makeup so that no one would recognize him.

Qiu Liang was discussing with a group of people where to start digging tomorrow, and when he heard that Jia Cong had tricked a knowledgeable friend to come, he was overjoyed: "Mr. Jia is really timely." He then asked Master Guo Gao's name.

Mr. Guo deliberately lowered his face and said angrily: "The villain's surname is Zhao. Anyway, I only do this for Mr. Jia, so I don't need to mention the name." He gave Jia Cong a glance; Laughed for a long time.

Qiu Liang only said that Jia Cong had great powers and knew all kinds of friends, so he nodded and called him "Mr. Zhao".

"Mr. Zhao" is indeed a capable person.The next day, after only walking a few times around the house connected to the Shu Palace, I got a general idea of ​​the locations of various agencies.There are more than a dozen institutions inside and outside the house. When Qiu Liang and the others checked this place, if there were people familiar with the institutions in the house, if they made a slight movement, Qiu Liang and the others would probably have died long ago.The underground is connected to another tunnel, which is indeed the property of Fang Xiong's family.

When the king of Shu heard the news, he immediately dispatched troops to surround the Fang mansion, but he did not attack the mansion.At night, Fang Xiong escaped from the tunnel with his confidants and four sons, and Qiu Liang's men blocked him to catch the turtle.Fang Xiong turned the mechanism in a hurry, but there was no movement in the mechanism - "Mr. Zhao" broke everything.The family members and young descendants of their family fled from another tunnel and were also caught.Jia Cong secretly sighed in his heart, no wonder that old man Guo Sanshui was afraid of being silenced - he helped the powerful to do so many secret ways, it would be a ghost if they didn't silence their eloquence!

When Fang's family and his family were escorted into the Shu Palace, Jia Cong pretended to be a commoner and stood in the crowd to watch the fun.Suddenly seeing a familiar face, his eyes widened in shock, staring at him all the way.After the man could no longer be seen, he stood there for half a day, then went to visit the king of Shu.

The King of Shu was chatting with Fang Xiong at first, when he heard him coming, he immediately left Fang Xiong behind, and greeted him with a smile on his face: "Mr. Jia came at just the right time! This old thief is still a prisoner and still keeps his tongue tight."

Jia Cong bowed to the King of Shu, and stared at Fang Xiong for a long time.Fang Xiong pretended not to see him at first, but he stared at him for half a cup of tea, and couldn't help feeling a little hairy.Jia Cong suddenly called out: "Master Fang, it's polite to be late."

Fang Xiong also looked at him for a long time, and said: "It's a pity that you were not there when I went to the capital. Otherwise, even if I angered all the princes, I will kill you."

"Chengmeng likes late students, late students have a lot of face." Jia Cong bowed again, "Actually, I was in the capital at that time. If Mr. Fang wants to kill me, why don't you go to our house to look for it?" Fang Xiongyi choke.

Jia Cong said seriously: "Wan Sheng wants to make a deal with Mr. Fang." Fang Xiong couldn't help but look up at the King of Shu, who also looked suspicious.Jia Cong said with a smile, "My lord doesn't know, I just thought of it on the spur of the moment."

Fang Xiong asked, "What deal?"

Jia Cong said: "Master Fang knows in his heart that the crime of treason cannot be survived. However, the Fang family certainly did not commit treason by the entire family. Housewives and underage children can't get involved in this matter. I always thought that innocent people are innocent. No matter what heinous crimes you have committed outside, it has nothing to do with women and children. Wansheng will persuade the prince to spare these innocent people."

Fang Xiong was moved instantly: "Do you have this ability?"

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Yes." The King of Shu was taken aback.

Fang Xiong immediately asked, "What deal?"

Jia Cong said coldly: "Who are those corpses in the tunnel of Prince Shu's mansion, and who made them?" Fang Xiong slowly turned his head to look at a person.

Jia Cong took a look. Although this man was wearing the clothes of a servant, his hair was pulled up a bit awkwardly, and he was wearing ten square shoes.Nai stepped forward and called the chief inspector: "This fellow Taoist invites you."

The man also slapped Jishou: "Taoism is friendly." It was an admission that he was also a Taoist priest.

Jia Cong asked: "Those 49 young men, women and children were all done by fellow Taoists?"

The Taoist sighed: "That is the Seven Yin Formation. The winner is the king and the loser, and the poor Taoist has nothing to say."

"Who are they and where is their home?"

"They are bought from everywhere, according to the yin and yang time of birth." The Taoist said, "If fellow Taoists want to learn, they can save poor Taoists, and they will teach them with all their money."

Jia Cong asked, "What is the Seven Yin Formation for?"

"Because the king of Shu is the dragon vein of the emperor after all, if he acts rashly, he will also be backlashed, and he must first consume his yang energy with the ghost."

"Why do you still use teenagers and boys?"

"Adolescents and boys born on yin days and yin days are the most yin yang people, and they can be used to divert qi." The Taoist gestured, "when yang is exhausted, yin is born, and yin ends to meet yang..."

"That's enough, that's enough!" Jia Cong waved his hand and said, "I know this better than you. In order to let fellow Taoists die more clearly, I regret to inform you that the method you learned is wrong, and I don't know who closed their eyes and said it It came out. Not only is your Seven Yin Formation useless to the prince, but the evil spirits have also attracted the poor."

The king of Shu just heard the Taoist say "Seven Yin Formation", and his face turned pale with fright.At this moment, his eyes lit up: "Is it useless?!"

Jia Cong said: "It's strange to be a poor Taoist. How can someone always be deceived by such a simple truth? As this fellow Taoist said, when the yang ends, the yin is born, and the yin ends to meet the yang. Everyone who can live It is the balance of yin and yang, if it is out of balance, it will cause illness, and if it is out of balance, it will cause death. The soul is inherently empty and does not enter yin and yang. When a person dies and his soul flies away, the corpse is an empty bag, just like a dead cow or a teacup. If a corpse With yin energy, how come the night watchmen in Yizhuang live happily and full of yang energy?"

The Taoist priest was stunned when he heard this.

Jia Cong shook his head and said: "My Taoist school has always cultivated morality, cleanliness and inaction. I didn't expect to have a fellow like you. Not only are you not good at learning, but you are also superstitious in deception, and you are so ashamed to kill so many innocent lives by deception." Turning to look at Fang Xiong again , "Master Fang is also a hero for a while, how could he believe such nonsense? Instead of putting those things under the Shu Palace, it is better to choose a few beauties to follow Goujian to send Xi Shi, and it is somewhat useful to keep them in order."

Fang Xiong said angrily: "They all mistakenly believed in this demonic nonsense."

One of his sons also yelled: "I told my father that this monster is a liar!" Fang Xiong closed his eyes and remained silent.

Jia Cong turned his head and said to the king of Shu: "Zhuang Ziyun, the way of the inner sage and the outer king is dark but not clear, gloomy but not developed. People in the world each follow their own desires and take their own way. Looking at later life, the inner sage and the outer king are different." There is an argument."

The king of Shu hurriedly cupped his hands: "Please advise, sir."

Jia Cong said with a smile: "Treat your own people as saints, and treat foreigners as kings." The King of Shu frowned.Jia Cong then said, "Of course, this is an excuse. Wan Sheng wants to use this as an excuse to persuade the prince to let the innocent people of the Fang family go."

The King of Shu asked, "May I ask you, what is the real reason?"

Jia Cong said: "Since we need to find an excuse, it is naturally inconvenient to tell the real reason in public."

The king of Shu hurriedly withdrew the left and right sides, and all the people in the hall disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Jia Congnai leaned forward and said in a low voice, "There is someone in the Fang family who looks like Liu Yifei. They are exactly the same, and I recognized them immediately."

The King of Shu hurriedly asked, "Who is Liu Yifei?"

"It's inconvenient to tell the lord." Jia Cong said, "It's fine for the lord to just pretend not to know. Fang's family has lost its backbone, and there are still people under Fang Xiong. Leave some innocent people behind, so that they can feel at ease. Second, even if they are dissatisfied, they don't dare to act rashly, just take it easy. Fang Xiong killed so many innocent teenagers, men, women and children, and wanted to practice witchcraft to harm people. This matter can be widely publicized. Who has no children? People are always afraid of these things."

The king of Shu nodded: "These things are easy to handle. However, if we cut the grass and don't get rid of the roots, I'm afraid that this king will become a trouble in the future."

Jia Cong said: "Anyone who wants to rebel must hide one or two children and grandchildren outside, for fear that things will go wrong and there will be no way out. In terms of future troubles, only those who are not under the nose will become troubles. Besides, Fang's family committee is really inconvenient for the prince. Thirdly, the Fang family has been destroyed, and the rest are just orphans and widows. My lord, as long as you are strong enough, no one can do anything to you. If you are not strong, even if you have no hatred, people will still miss you. " He smiled lightly and said, "Not to mention the whole country, there are not a few people in Shu who want to kill the prince. Which one of them will succeed?"

The king of Shu pondered for a moment and said, "My king, think about it again."

Jia Cong nodded, and said: "The rest of the Fang family and that Taoist priest are interrogated; Fang Xiong will be killed immediately, so as not to have long nights and dreams. And his important sons."

"That's exactly what Mr. said."

Jia Cong saluted deeply and left.When he got to the door, he came back suddenly, and said, "My lord, the grandson of the craftsman who built the tunnel—is not his real grandson, but the fake grandson who was exchanged, and he is a hostage at Fang Xiong's house. Can you please ask your lord to get someone to rescue him. The child is innocent, he has nothing to do with the Fang family, his biological parents are ordinary farmers, and they are also the prince's people."

The king of Shu hurriedly said: "This matter is easy to handle. This king ordered Qiu Liang to inquire."

Jia Cong said: "You can find anyone you want, Mr. Qiu is probably the busiest now."

The King of Shu laughed and said, "You two have only known each other for a few days, but you have a good friendship."

Jia Cong said: "Sometimes a small thing can tell a person's character. When he went down the tunnel that day, Mr. Qiu only told Wan Sheng to follow him carefully, and Wan Sheng felt that this person was reliable. Mr. Qiu is willing to take responsibility, the prince can do it." reuse."

The king of Shu said with a smile, "This king even believed in Qiu Liang."

Jia Cong left again, walked to the door and came back again, and bowed deeply to the King of Shu: "The prince's self-proclaimed name can be changed to 'Gu'." Without waiting for the King of Shu to speak, he turned and left.

The king of Shu stayed for a while, and laughed for a long time.Nai ordered Fang Xiong's confidantes and others to be imprisoned and interrogated first, and his family members were elsewhere, so he ordered not to be negligent.They also asked people to write notices and post them out, detailing what Fang Xiong had done, especially Haosheng was asked to write about the Taoist priest's harm.Fang Xiong and his four sons were never imprisoned, and they were directly beheaded in the hall.

Jia Cong returned to the inn and told Jia Xu and others what he had just done.Jia Xu frowned and asked, "What's your business? You expect the Fang family's children to disturb Shu in the future? It's better to count on others."

Jia Cong said: "It's really impromptu. It's not a bad thing to save a few innocent women and children from dying." Jia Xu stared at him for a long time.

For a while, Chen Ruijin was practicing in the yard, and Jia Cong moved the coffee table and chairs to eat snacks beside him.After Chen Ruijin finished practicing, Jia Cong threw a piece of Dragon Beard Cake over.Chen Ruijin took it in his hand and came over to drink tea, and asked casually, "Did the third master fall in love with that young lady from the Fang family? His eyes are straight."

Jia Cong shrugged and said, "I'm surprised. They look too similar. Hey~~~" In her previous life, the fairy sister was definitely deeply ingrained in Zhou Ji's generation of nerds. "It's exactly the same, I'm stunned. Ancient memories..."

Chen Ruijin twirled the Longxu crisp on his fingertips: "Liu Yifei?"

"Hmm. I can't explain it clearly. Anyway, she is a beauty I admired a long time ago, but I have never seen her again since a long time ago." Jia Cong said, holding his cheek, "The sea is changing, the world is impermanent, and the past cannot be chased. Besides, that Miss Fang is not a fairy sister after all, no matter how much Ren Tanghui looks like Yang Yanzhao, she is not him."

Chen Ruijin was silent for a moment, and said: "Even if the King of Shu didn't kill the women and children of the Fang family, he would not let them go free. Do you want to rescue that woman?"

Jia Cong looked up at her for a long time, while Chen Ruijin just ate tea.Jia Cong pursed his lips and said, "Miss Chen Ruijin, your attitude can easily make me think that I am unrequited love."

Chen Ruijin glanced at him: "You did not misunderstand."
