The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

The Ding family had a private matter with the nearby king of the mountain, and the king of Shu was furious.Just as Jia Cong guessed, Ding Wangji was in a daze and didn't know anything.As for why Ding wanted to kill Qiu Liang and Jia Cong, Jia Cong had already thought about it for him, in order to pave the way for Ding Wangji.The king of Shu lost face and was so angry that he couldn't eat.It's just that he never vented his anger on Ding's body, but instead ordered Ding Wangji to be buried alive.The prince sent someone to tell Jia Cong quietly, and Jia Cong smiled and said to Jia Xu, "The king of Shu is quite affectionate, better than those violent and cruel masters."

Jia Xu said, "The ones in positions of authority are the most unsympathetic."

Jia Cong shrugged, and asked Zhenming again, "Does Zhenyuan know Chen Yi of Qi State Mansion?"

Zhenming said: "He knows Chen Yi, but Chen Yi doesn't know him."

"Does Hero Tian recognize Qi Guogong? Do you have any friendship?"

Zhenming sighed softly and said, "All the princes and princes of our generation knew him, and they had some friendship with him. Both Chen Yi and your grandfather had a close friendship with him."

Jia Cong nodded, and asked again: "Is Zhenyuan's surname Wen? The one who heard the chicken dance?"

Zhenming wondered: "How did you guess?" Looking at his expression, Jia Cong knew he had guessed right, laughed twice and ran away.

Liu Feng also came that night, and several people gathered together to discuss and guess.Jia Cong first said: "Let me reason a little bit. According to the Taoist Qing Xiao who has followed Zhenyuan for eight years, Zhenyuan doesn't seem to be a member of the Fang family. And Fang Yong is obviously a junior of his secular family. Zhenyuan had long been ignoring vulgar things. At the end of last year, he received a letter from my uncle, a monk. My uncle was worried that I was too capable, and I was afraid that I would be self-reliant; I didn’t know which prince I would help. Because I specifically support those who send troops abroad, and the King of Shu happened to send troops abroad. So let Zhenyuan pay attention to whether I will come to Shu Kingdom. Coincidentally, I will come this year."

He took a break to drink tea, and Liu Feng went on to say: "The third master found out that Fang Xiong was up to no good when he arrived in Shu. Zhenyuan went down the mountain when he heard about it. For one thing, he knew that Wen Yong followed Fang Xiong." I am worried that something will happen to him; the second is to take the opportunity to help a monk master find out the mind of the third master. This is what Qing Xiao said, Zhenyuan went down the mountain for the first time this year. He contacted Wen Yong in Chengdu , Xuancheng met on this trip. Xuancheng should have been specially selected by Wen Yong, Ding Wangji and the rest of the Fang family to win over Zhenyuan—he is a Taoist priest with superb martial arts skills, and he is much easier than others. At that time, Ding Wangji and others didn't know that Zhenyuan had something to do with the late emperor, otherwise they wouldn't dare to attack him so presumptuously. Fang Xiong is a traitor after all."

Jia Cong went on to say: "Later, Xuancheng went to Wuming Temple to seek refuge with Taoist Master Zhenyuan, just to win him over, but he failed - can a rebel be expected to win his brother over to the late emperor's spies? It's just that Xuancheng also spied on him. When they came out, Zhenyuan was quite worried about whether Jia Cong would stand on his own. At this time, they still didn't know Zhenyuan's identity, although they also wondered why he, an ordinary Taoist priest, was worried about the affairs of the kingdom. Then Ding Wangji took a look. Seeing that my sister Chen and I were in a relationship, I didn't know what plan I had, either entrusted Xuancheng or Wen Yong—he had changed his name to Fang Yong by now—to deceive Zhenyuan down the mountain. It’s a pretense, maybe it’s to test whether I have ambitions. But I can’t figure it out, it’s really far from being an imperial spy in the cloak of a thief, who won the trust of the late emperor, and even has a gold medal! As a famous thief in history, he should have it Self-respecting. Because of the idea of ​​"testing Jia Cong that kid has a self-reliant heart", he is willing to do such a thing as kidnapping a girl. There are many ways to test me, why use this one? Earlier they They have done everything, and that is because of orders from above. Ding Wangji and Fang Yong are both from the side of the rebels, and they can never give orders to really far away."

Liu Feng pondered for a long time: "I can't guess."

Jia Xu thought for a long time: "I can't think of it."

Chen Ruijin thought for a long time: "There is no reason."

Lu Sangu also said, "I don't know."

A few people were frowning for a long time, and Zhenming outside the window finally couldn't hold back and coughed.Jia Cong shivered in shock: "Oh, uncle! What are you doing all the time? It's scary."

Zhenming was silent for a moment, and asked through the window: "Is the Yushan Zi bestowed by the late emperor of your family really lost?"

Jia Cong said aggrievedly, "It was lost by your historians!"

Zhenming snorted: "Jia She and you are both cunning. Even if such an important thing is lost, it will be returned."

Jia Cong spread his hands and said, "Our father and I can pinch and count! Why don't you keep looking for it? You are old hands."

Zhenming was silent for another moment, and said, "It's all right if you don't have one." With the sound of footsteps, she went back to the house.

Jia Cong and the others looked at each other for a while, Jia Xu looked at his wife and laughed.

Liu Feng also smiled, but there was no laughing sound when he spoke: "I am afraid that Yushanzi is something important. King Yan mentioned it last time, and it is also an extremely important posture. Zhenyuan probably wants to exchange Miss Chen for Yushan. Son, then take Yushanzi and King Yan in exchange for Tian Qi's free body."

Chen Ruijin said: "It's just that when I looked at his expression at that time, it was obvious that he had changed his mind."

Jia Cong rested his cheeks and said, "He changed his mind when he heard that you were the granddaughter of Duke Chen Yi of Qi, but he still locked you in Qingniu Palace. What's the difference between whether you are from the Qi State Mansion or not? Tian Qi and Chen Yi friendship?"

Jia Xudao: "That's not the point. There is a big difference between a girl Chen who is not a spy and a spy. You can be a spy if you are not a spy, but it is hard to say if you are a spy. Most of the shortcomings of the spies are in the hands of the master, who breaks other spies into his own. Spy is extremely difficult."

"Oh~~" Jia Cong said, "In addition to wanting Yushanzi, Zhenyuan also wants to get sister Chen to be his own spy, so that he can monitor me and Jia's family." He clapped his hands, "This makes sense. Does Ding Wangji know what he's thinking?"

Liu Feng said: "Ding Wangji lost his son, so he led the third master to Qingcheng Mountain's Wuming Temple, so we know he thought Miss Chen was there." He smiled and said, "Fang Xiong's elder brother Xuancheng is also capable, but He has been staying in Wuming Temple and has not left. Could it be that he is not needed elsewhere? I am afraid that Ding Wangji's plan is to persuade Zhenyuan to kidnap Miss Chen, and if he tries to divert the tiger away from the mountain, Xuancheng who stays in Wuming Temple will be able to find Miss Chen, Take it away quietly. He squeezed Miss Chen himself, and things will be much easier."

Jia Cong said, "Aren't you afraid that I will turn Chengdu over?"

Liu Feng said: "Didn't the third master guess that Guo Sanshui helped him build the tunnel? It's just that they are inferior in martial arts, so they have to use their strength." Jia Cong nodded.He took a sip of tea and continued, "Qing Xiao said that Zhen Yuan went back to Wuming Temple the day before the action. I guess, Zhen Yuan was fooled by Fang Yong at first, or he thought he was too capable to not put them in In his eyes, he was about to catch Miss Chen and send her back to the temple. Before the attack, Fang Yong or Ding Wangji missed something and made him suspicious. So he went back to the temple to get the gold medal, contacted Qingyang Palace, and hid Miss Chen in the There."

Jia Cong said: "Ding Wangji, Xuancheng and others know nothing about Qingyang Palace. The day after Sister Chen was taken away, I immediately found Ding Wangji. At that time, Zhenyuan was still in Ding's house. Ding Wangji Ji Te tempted me to listen to Zhenyuan, which was to please him. Later, Uncle Wu captured Ding Wangji's two sons. I didn’t see Sister Chen after all the dismantling. After that, Zhenyuan and Ding Wangji must have internal quarrels, because Zhenyuan was unwilling to hand over Sister Chen, and never took Ding Wangji’s son seriously.”

Liu Feng interjected: "None of them expected that Taoist Liao Shouping would send a message for Ms. Chen. This is the biggest accident. Once Ms. Chen escapes danger, she will surely die."

Jia Cong said: "Not necessarily. Zhenyuan's force value is overwhelmed, and it can be used."

Liu Feng asked: "The confession presided over by the Qingyang Palace, Ding Wangji is a confidant of the King of Shu. You can read it. There is a gold medal bestowed by the late emperor, which is obviously from the court. He and Fang Yong want to get it. Fang Xiong copied it from the capital. Treasures, and other people who hold the rest of the Fang family, must rescue the women and children of the Fang family. To them, Zhen Yuan is a Frankenstein and can't handle it."

Jia Cong paused the hand that was reaching out to grab the snack, feeling a strange sense of time travel, and shouted, "Hey! This analogy is wrong!"

"Okay, then let's have a double-edged sword." Liu Feng said casually, "It looks like an old Taoist priest who hides from the world, but in fact he is an old green forest in a storm, thunderstorm, and finally he is a secret agent of the Tian family! Such a person is just beginning to be fooled by them for a while. How long can their idea of ​​Taoism be fooled by Zhenyuan? Zhenyuan, if he lives in Shu, even if he doesn't find fault with them, if Zhenyuan notices their injustice, he will definitely take action to destroy it. Really far You can't die. It's just that they don't have the ability to kill Zhenyuan, so Fang Yong came to the third master to sell him, and use the third master's hand to get rid of Zhenyuan."

Jia Cong heaved a sigh of relief, thought about it from the beginning, and said, "That's about it." After thinking for a while, "They want to kill me, it's understandable. Ever since I came to Shu, every time I have If you mess with them, don’t get rid of Ansheng. What about Qiu Liang? Qiu Liang has no reason to get rid of him, right? If you dislike him and get in the way, why didn’t you move him?”

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Master Qiu has not solved any of the important cases this year. If it were me, I wouldn't kill him. Keeping it is just showing my ability."

Liu Feng's eyes moved: "Although Mr. Qiu has not solved the case, he has never been idle. He has solved several old cases while investigating the remnants of the Fang family. Ding Shi, Ding Wangji, mother and son have done a lot of shameful things, so it's not safe. It also made him poke."

Jia Cong rubbed his neck: "That's right. Tomorrow I'll go see Mr. Qiu and ask him what he was investigating before he was assassinated."

Everyone sorted out the matter from the beginning again, and they all felt that their guesses were close to ten, so they went to rest.

The next day, because of his excellent kung fu, Jia Xu set off to Master Guo's house to find out the tunnels of Ding's house.Before leaving, Jia Cong was full of worries, sighed left and right, and said: "There are traps everywhere in that house, Fifth Uncle, please be careful."

Zhenming annoyed him with his muttering, and said, "It's just a few organs, and everything changes and stays the same."

Jia Cong let out an "Aww" and climbed up the pole: "Uncle, why don't you go to exercise your muscles and bones together?"

Zhenming took a few glances at Jia Xu: "This kid can do a little bit of kung fu."

"That's a trap, not a fight!" Jia Cong stepped forward and tugged on Zhenming's lapel, "Uncle! Please! That Guo Sanshui's trick is amazing!" He sighed again, "It's a pity that Mr. Guo's character is not very good. , I'm not interested in asking him to come out and do something."

Zhenming glanced at him and said, "You also want to build tunnels?"

"Underground sidewalks, future subways, these projects that benefit the country and the people are all useful." Jia Cong said, "Just like a knife can kill people or save people, tunnel tunnels are just a craft. They can be used to trap people." People can also be used to benefit the people.”

Seeing that what he said was true, he couldn't help but believe it.Nai said: "That's all. Since you said that it is useful to be serious, I will go with this little brother Liu." Jia Cong hurriedly bowed and flattered him to thank him;

The two of them had just left the house, before Jia Cong went to see Qiu Liang, Qiu Liang's men had already come to call for someone.He found several soldiers who had seen the "porter" who delivered the letter to Jia Cong that day, and asked them to help draw pictures.As soon as the "porter" appeared, he recognized it: Fang Yong, the leader of the bandit.

Jia Cong rushed to the yamen, and said to Qiu Liang, "I already guessed that maybe it's someone from within them, but I don't know it's Fang Yong himself." Nai tsk said, "What a cruel heart! It's really the elders of their Wen family. Well, he helped him when he was young."

Qiu Liang sighed, "From what you can see, why did he and Zhen Yuan turn their backs?"

Jia Cong shrugged and said, "It's mostly because of money."

Qiu Liang thought about it: "It makes sense, Zhenyuan is a big thief." Then he said worriedly, "It's just that the Fang family still has no clues. It's strange, why can't we find out any news?"

Jia Cong suddenly remembered something, and blurted out "Oh!" Qiu Liang looked at him hurriedly.Jia Cong said: "Lord Qiu, what you are saying is, how could you not find any clues after searching for so long? Fang Xiong has served as Jiannan Jiedu envoy for many years, and he has long since turned his back on it. Will you arrange some secret work under you?"

Qiu Liang smiled wryly and said, "I've been suspicious for a long time. I just checked carefully several times, and there is no suspicious person."

"That's weird." Jia Cong frowned.After a while, he raised his suspicions about the reason behind Qiu Liang's assassination, and asked, "Did you find out any old cases before the assassination?"

Qiu Liang thought for a while: "A few old cases have been solved, and it seems that it has nothing to do with Fang Xiong."

"Maybe let me see the file?" Qiu Liang wished that he would help with the work, since the prince would not give him a salary anyway!So he ordered people to send all the files of these days to his inn.

In the next few days, Jia Cong and Liu Feng checked the files one by one, but neither saw anything strange.The two looked at each other with frowning faces.Lu Sangu looked aside and said, "There must be something wrong in Qiuliang's yamen. Back then, Huan'er and a friend of your fifth uncle's, Shi Li, assassinated the second son of King Yan." Jia Cong smiled. .Third Aunt Lv gave him a sideways look, "We searched hard for a long time but couldn't find it out. Later I realized that your fifth uncle was making trouble inside and pointed me to many wrong paths."

Jia Cong laughed again, and said, "Qiu Liang checked the number of his subordinates carefully."

Lu Sangu said: "There may not be any spies. The inability to protect is because people listened to them when they were discussing matters."

Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "If Ding Wangji has such a master in his hands, is there still a need to coax Zhenyuan into the water?"

Lu Sangu knocked on the teapot: "So there is an authentic tunnel under the Shu Palace? You can eavesdrop in the main hall of the study."

"Oh!" Jia Cong slapped his head on the desk, "That's right! Ding Wangji has Guo Sanshui as a super trick!"
