The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Qiu Liang received the second ringing arrow, and then hollowed out the nail left by the late emperor in Shu.The Supreme Emperor has just made a small fortune, and he is about to go bankrupt again.Fortunately, Liu Feng knew that the Kingdom of Shu was looking for him, and he couldn't let him be helpless to protect himself, so his men didn't kill anyone they could not kill.This person is alive, and all the kings are not right.If he is dead, if there is no one who doesn't have a brain to jump out and proclaim the emperor, the civil war will be impossible to escape.Since Qiu Liang's mind is used elsewhere, he must relax a lot on the way of the celestial master.

A few days later, the streets and alleys of Chengdu were covered with notices.It turned out that Xu Ershui, a steward under the Third Highness's subordinates, pretended to be his master and seized property outside. In more than half a year, he has seized as many as nineteen places!His Highness the Third Highness was furious, and ordered the man beheaded for public display, and immediately returned the seized property.It's just that the original owners of the two properties have moved to other countries, and they can't be found anymore.A special announcement was issued to collect the news of the two original owners, but those who informed their whereabouts would be rewarded.Many tongue-twisting idlers appeared in teahouses and restaurants, saying that they saw the excitement at the entrance of Jixiang Embroidery Square with their own eyes that day.Many storytellers heard about it, and they compiled the story into a commentary; there were also opera troupes who arranged a new play called "Auspicious Embroidery Workshop".

After this incident, the yamen servants who used to fill the streets disappeared.In the early days, the Juan Mansion on Zhuzhi Street had been guarded by soldiers and horses. Since the remnants of the first emperor were gone, it was impossible to leave many people behind, so only a few old soldiers were sent to guard it.

It was three o'clock at night, and the north wind suddenly blew up.Countless black-clothed men secretly emerged from Zhuzhi Street, commanded by a leader, and quietly surrounded Bi An's mansion.A few people turned into the courtyard wall to check first, and saw that there were no soldiers, the guards were sleeping like pigs, and the underground prison was empty, so they turned back and opened the gate.The leader waved the flag in his palm a few times, and stepped into the house lightly; dozens of people followed and filed in, and the rest stood guard in front of and behind the house.

A pathfinder led the way with a torch in hand, and everyone stepped straight into the underground prison, and walked silently and solemnly to the shelf of the urn.The leader knelt down first, and the others knelt behind, kowtowing three times in unison.The leader wept and made a gesture, and a dozen people behind him stepped forward one by one to hold up the third row of ashes urns from the bottom, one for each of them.The leader led the crowd to kowtow three times to the ashes jar, then turned and went out.Dozens of people holding the ashes urns followed silently, with other guards on their left and right.

After a while, they came out of the underground prison and came out through the gate.The one holding the urn put down the urn first, and withdrew behind the leader.All the men in black guarding around Bi An's mansion surrounded him.The leader knelt down first again and led everyone to kowtow.

Just finished the first one, and before the second one had time to knock, I suddenly heard a creaking sound from the back.This time the north wind howled, the sound was not loud, but it still alarmed the people in black.Turning around and looking, I saw the door of a nearby house opened, and someone inside pushed some huge object out.Before I could see it clearly, the door of another house opened, and someone pushed objects out of it.The leader shouted: "It's not good! It's been tricked!" How could there be time?I saw that the two objects had been pushed onto the street, and they were clearly reflected by the torches. They were two Western cannons.Hearing gunshots from all sides, I don't know how many Shu soldiers came out from the neighboring houses.Immediately, the artillery exploded, and the entrance of Bi An's mansion was covered with blood and flesh in the blink of an eye. The mourning of the dying was drowned in the sound of the guns, and it was completely indistinguishable.

It turned out that a few days ago, when the King of Shu was discussing with a group of civil and military officials, Qiu Liang's subordinates suddenly sent an important official document.The king of Shu clapped the table and applauded, and loudly said in public: "My dear friends, Qiu Liang has found out. Among the more than 200 urns in the strange house on Zhuzhi Street, more than a dozen belonged to the ancestors of Tianshidao. "Looking at the official document again, he said with a straight smile, "Grandfather is interesting. Lock them up there." Nai put it down casually, and then went to discuss serious matters with others.It is rare for a talkative official to talk about it with friends, lovers, and customers, and it spreads in the blink of an eye.

Tianshidao has been operating in the Shu Kingdom for many years, and when they got the news, they sent a master to visit Qiu Liang's yamen at night, found a list, and wrote down the approximate origin of the ashes.Such things as Tianshi Taoism, Maitreyaism, Nestorianism, Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Dashiism, etc., are all religious people.The master then wrote down the location of the ashes of the ancestors of Tianshidao, and went back to report.

There are wise men and old fools in the way of heavenly masters.The wise man suspected that this was a trap, and the old fool insisted on retrieving the ashes.In the past two years, a new celestial master returned from the south, and the celestial master has the final say on this matter.The celestial master bowed to Dongchang and said, "how can we let the first master fall into the hands of the faint king and be humiliated day and night." So hundreds of elites were sent to seize the ashes jar.Tianshidao also sent spies to check. There are many empty houses near the house, and occasionally the people live there, but they are nothing more than ordinary people.And here is increasingly neglected to guard against.Finally, I chose a day without stars and moon to come and retrieve the fairy.Finally fell into an ambush.

The leader of the army this night was originally a general of the Shu Kingdom.Because I got the arrow book from nowhere in advance and knew that Tianshidao would come tonight, I arranged an ambush early on all sides, just waiting for the fish to enter the net.Almost the entire army of Tianshi Taoists was wiped out, only a Taoist priest with high martial arts skills escaped.This talent was less than half a mile away from the battlefield, when he met another masked black-clothed night traveler head-on, he followed him and beat him.The Taoist didn't know who he was, so he had to bite the bullet.Fortunately, that person was weaker than him, so he fled after hitting him a few times.The Taoist priest himself was also running for his life, so naturally he would not pursue him.He fled to the city wall and climbed over the wall, but fortunately no one noticed.All their horses were in the city, so the Taoist stole a horse from a house outside the city.Little did he know that the masked man took advantage of the fight and sprinkled some medicine on him.He walked for about half an hour, the city gate was opened wide, and several big dogs led the way, and a sentinel chased him out.

It was night, and the Shu army chased to the main altar of Tianshi Dao in one fell swoop, and surrounded and suppressed it with fire, guns and artillery until the next afternoon.

In the next few days, it was Qiu Liang who personally led people to count the things belonging to the Heavenly Master.Some captured captives confessed to the house where the Celestial Master used to live, and Qiu Liang found a list of important leaders in it.After reading it, I was shocked.Last time, most of the people who taught Maitreya were ordinary people, and there were few small officials. There are many officials in the head of the Heavenly Master and Taoism, and there are many officials in all countries.The king of Shu was also shocked, and immediately arrested the Shu officials on the list.And like the King of Wu last time, he sent letters to the kings and passed on the list.The bloody storm is another story.

Although the backbone of Tianshi Dao is destroyed, Tianshi is still at large.The state of Shu then offered a reward for the person's arrest.A prisoner confessed that Tianshi had a big box with a secret treasure hidden in it, and he only opened it when no one was around.Some servants overheard the beeping sound outside the door, but they didn't know what it was.Furthermore, the captive confessed that there is a Xuanji gate in the Tao of Tianshi, which specializes in making clever things.A few days ago, Xuanjimen was suddenly ordered by the celestial master, saying that there was a top-secret and urgent errand, and he was sent out on business.No one else knew where they went.The masters of the Xuanji sect also have to draw pictures and paste them all over the street next to their portraits of celestial masters.

The Taoist priest who visited Jia Cong at Jia's horse shop a few days ago came again.He only wore a fake beard, and somehow fooled the soldiers at the gate of the city.Jia Cong smiled and said, "Have you got the bottom line?" The Taoist smiled wryly and slapped him.Jia Cong said, "There is nothing to bargain this time. I only pity your talents, and others don't care."

The Taoist sighed: "There is no way out. I hope Brother Tao will save me."

Jia Cong said: "I don't know how many people you have and how many officials you have. I still say the same two words: You can only be a Taoist, not an official. Can you do it?"

The Taoist said: "The poor Taoist has no intention of being an official..."

Jia Cong interrupted: "Don't play word games with me. Anyway, you know what I mean, and if you don't, you will die. My surname Jia already has tens of millions of lives in his hands, and I don't care how many more." The Taoist opened his mouth and finally No words, long thanks.

At this time, the Bi An mansion was half in ruins, and Qiu Liang sent people to move all the ashes jars to other places for storage.Just two days after moving away, Jia Cong brought a dusty man to the yamen: it turned out that Mr. Dong Ming from the Taiwan government had arrived.Qiu Liang was overjoyed.Although he was old, he still had a sense of curiosity, and wanted to know who was imprisoned in that underground prison.I am very happy to see that Mr. Dong is honest and talented.So he ordered his confidant to lead him there.

Although the house was covered with rubble, fortunately the two shellings did not damage the ground.Dong Ming led his four disciples to check.Jia Cong followed at first, and after searching for several days, he didn't find anything, so he didn't bother to come.After more than ten days, even the master who was following and the servants sent by Qiu Liang to help lost interest, only Dong Ming, the master and his disciples, still held up their lamps to look carefully over and over again.

On this day, Dong Ming told the master: "There are more than 200 people, it is impossible not to leave clues, but the lower officials have not found it yet. Let's wait for the lower officials to check carefully. There is no need for the master and everyone to follow. Come here." The master went back and reported to Qiu Liang, Qiu Liang felt that it made sense, so he asked them to go back to the yamen to work.

In fact, Dong Ming has been in Chengdu for many days.Because the Bi An mansion also shouldered the important task of setting up a trap for the Heavenly Master, Jia Cong didn't let him go to see Qiu Liang.When Shu and Tianshi Li Yingwai wiped out the way of Tianshi, the house will be useless.The last time the house was lax in defense, it was pretending to be a spy from Tianshi Dao, but this time it was serious laxity. Dong Ming and the others inspected it freely for half a month.

Among the people he brought, only two were his own disciples, and the other two were experts from the Ministry of Construction of the Taiwan government, who specialized in secret rooms of agencies.Dong Ming studied the traces on the wall of the underground prison day and night, while the two experts checked whether there were secret rooms elsewhere.One day, Dong Ming moved a ladder and found a line of handwriting that had not been scratched off from the roof of a prison cell.The handwriting is small and light, and it reads: the second from the right is under the bottom.

Looking out from this prison cell, you can see many quan, the number varies depending on where you stand, and I don't know which one is the second from the right.Dong Ming thought about it for a long time, climbed up the ladder and looked around at the handwriting. He could also see many statues of Bi An.He chose the second from the right.The two experts immediately studied the statue, and found the mechanism without accident.It turns out that there is a cellar under the underground prison.It is full of files here.

Jia Cong clapped his hands and said, "It can be regarded as my hand!"

Dong Ming said: "Third Master, are you all right as an official?"

"How is it possible!" Jia Cong said, "You still have to forge information."

Dong Ming was taken aback: "What information is forged?"

Jia Cong said: "Name!" Then he sent someone to Huifeng Bank to call Liu Feng over, then turned around and asked, "Can you fake it?"

Dong Ming said: "No."

"It doesn't matter, Liu Dong's family will definitely do it. You two work together to get it!"

In the evening of the same day, soldiers from the special battalion entered the underground prison of Bi An's mansion at night and removed all the files in the cellar.These dossiers are detailed and comprehensive, and life and hometown are naturally indispensable.Liu Feng personally copied the origins of more than 200 names and handed them to Dong Ming, telling him: "Try to get these in prison! Then make them old, and then pretend that you discovered them."

Dong Ming was stunned and said, "How can I be old!"

"I'll find someone to teach you."

Dong Ming wondered: "This kind of skill cannot be learned in three to five days."

An expert from the Ministry of Construction said with a smile: "Every row is like a mountain. Don't make things difficult for Mr. Dong. I will learn it! I will be able to learn this kind of craft quickly."

"Okay!" Liu Feng urged, "Master Dong, the handwriting you found must be scraped off!" Dong Ming smiled and nodded, then shook his head again.

That expert is really good at learning, but after a few days, he learned how to make the newly carved handwriting look old.In the next few days, he carried a ladder and carved letters in the cracks in the blue bricks on the roof of the cell, engraving all the origins of more than 200 names on them.Dong Ming pretended to be a newly discovered one again, and reported the matter to Qiu Liang.Qiu Liang stepped on the ladder to check it himself, and said, "The only way to hide from the eyes of the old eunuch is to hide here."

It's just that even though they have their names and places of origin, they don't know who they are. What's the use of "somewhere so-and-so about this"?Qiu Liang saw that there were also people from the Shu Kingdom above him, so he searched for one, and was shocked: this man was a great good man, who disappeared without a reason back then, and his descendants are all there.Jia Cong came up with an idea in a hurry and asked other countries to help with the investigation.He said: "Anyway, it is found out that it is the fault of the late emperor. Maybe we can sell many favors from other countries." Qiu Liang also made sense, so he reported it to the King of Shu.

Coincidentally, Situ Cen was also near his father, and he said with a smile, "Those people are definitely unusual. Father, we can reap a lot of benefits if we don't keep the ashes of our ashes. Shouldn't the descendants of these people come to take back the ashes of their ancestors?"

Qiu Liang said: "It's just that there are sixteen of them. They were destroyed by the artillery that night when they ambush Tianshidao."

Situ Cen said: "Then there is no other way. It's unlucky to meet anyone."

Qiu Liangnai gave the King of Shu a wink.The king of Shu said that and sent Situ Cen away, asking him what's the matter.Qiu Liang said: "Isn't there still a lot of empty ashes urns left unused?"

The King of Shu understood what he meant, he stroked his beard with a smile and said, "That's fine. Just be careful, don't let others know."

Qiu Liang smiled and said, "I will handle it myself."

People have different appearances when they are alive, but they are exactly the same when they are burned to ashes after death.Qiu Liangnai ordered his confidants to find sixteen fresh corpses—coincidentally, he attacked the Heavenly Master's Way a few days ago and got countless corpses.Burn it as ashes, use it as the ashes of several years ago, and seal it into sixteen unused jars.According to what Jia Cong said, the names, surnames and birthplaces were randomly carved on the outside of the ashes urn, and they were listed in rows on the shelves of the underground prison.This place was originally neglected.After the urn came back, the government ordered people to guard it strictly again, and soldiers patrolled outside day and night.And it made people rebuild the gate and the yard outside that were damaged by artillery.
