The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

On the second day after the death of Confucius, Jia Cong coaxed Yan Shenggong to go to Yan to take advantage of the situation.Liu Xiaoqi patted Jia Cong on the shoulder: "Your tongue is not dead yet."

Jia Cong smiled and said: "It's actually very simple. It's like fighting a war. Picking the opponent's weakness is the first to strike first. Kong Yunxian, Mr. Wu, and King Qi are all very concerned about it. If I know something they don't know, I will listen first. I said. Of course, the main credit lies in King Qi's eyeing on other people's ancient books."

Several people moved to Kong's house to stay overnight that day.It's fine for others, Shen Zhimo is also considered a half-Confucian child.Although it is not obvious on the surface, I am quite excited in my heart.So he led the photographer around to take pictures, and took a group photo with many people from the Confucian family, including the uncle Menzi who saw the allusions in Kong Yunxian's poems at a glance.

There are many rumors about Jia Cong.Kong Yunxian saw that he was easy-going, so he tentatively asked whether it was true or not.Jia Cong grew up fooling around, and he is familiar with the road, and the high amount of information is so overwhelming that the child's brain can't keep up, which completely opened up the curiosity of this young man.Jia Cong didn't know the rules, he touched his head and neck casually and said: "Ordinary boys at your age can do anything by climbing walls and trees. You are too...quiet. This is very bad for your body. My Zhu The same is true for the big brother, who left when he was in his twenties. Yan Shenggong did not live long for generations, probably because of too little activity. In fact, your father is still young, and it is time to start exercising from now on. If it continues like this, it will only be about 40 Many years of life."

Kong Yunxian had already been coaxed by him, and quickly asked: "How to exercise?"

"Running and doing exercises are easy." Jia Cong thought for a while, "This trip to the capital, please ask the imperial doctor to take the pulse, and then learn some aerobics like Wu Qinxi. The old man of the Zhang family has returned to Beijing. He is best at helping people To recuperate my body, my father was weak and he also helped recuperate. Otherwise, my father was as indulgent and alcoholic as he was back then. It is hard to say whether he is still here or not. My uncle Lin has been in charge of Jiangnan salt class for the emperor for many years He became sick from overwork, and even the imperial doctor said it was difficult to cure, and it was his disease." Nai said casually, "Should Uncle Lin be 26 years ago...or 27 years ago? It's been too long to remember—donate Museum in Yangzhou City. With the current appearance, it will be no problem to live to a hundred years old."

Kong Yunxian trembled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Dare to ask this old man Zhang's name? Who is he?"

Jia Cong smiled and said: "The old man's name is taboo with the word You and his son, who is also a Confucian scholar, and his son is Zhang Yuan, the governor of Guizhou."

Kong Yunxian thought for a moment: "Is the lifespan not fixed by life and death? Can a living person change it?"

Jia Cong waved his hand and said: "The book of life and death is not static. When people change, the book of life and death will also change. People who should have died due to accidents met a savior, people who should have died of illness met a good doctor, people who should have been wronged And when a dead person meets a detective, they can change the book of life and death. I have changed the fate of many people in my life. Also, if someone can persuade the evil people to change their ways in time, the innocent people who should have died at their hands can be changed. If they are alive, they should have died at Caishikou, and they can prolong their lives. Everything is connected. A butterfly flapping its wings in Qufu may cause a tornado in Texas, North America."

Kong Yunxian nodded and said, "I see. No wonder your "Yanjing Weekly" has sentences like 'I can't help my fate' from time to time."

Jia Cong was pleasantly surprised: "Young master, you still watch that?"

Kong Yunxian said with a smile: "There are indeed many good articles."

Jia Cong sighed lightly: "Guiding people to be good is the best of all good things. This one is beyond my ability. I am a murderer by nature. Compared with the number of people who died because of me, the number of people I saved is small." Therefore, I have great respect for those who can lead people to be good. For example, my uncle Lin Hai. The newspaper he ran in Taiwan government educated a whole generation. Now that he has returned to Beijing, his apprentices are still there. Educating the next generation. "Yanjing Weekly" was also established under his guidance. It's hard to imagine, if he died early, who else could make those newspapers so well." He looked at Kong Yunxian and said, "I'll see , Yan Shenggong is also a kind person. A kind person allows himself to live a long life and influence the world and future generations. This is a great act of kindness in itself. There are too few true and kind people in the world, and everyone cherishes them."

Kong Yunxian made him speak up and down, and said: "The prince has such a heart, it is already a blessing for all people."

Jia Cong said without humility: "It's just a blessing for the people of our country. Compared with foreign countries, I am a relative of the devil."

After the two finished talking, Kong Yunxian went to see his father.

Coincidentally, Yan Shenggong was also in a good mood.Jia Cong told him that he had borrowed the name of Zhou Ji, the Malay ruler of Nanyang, and Yan Shenggong did not doubt that he had it.Just now the officials sent by the King of Qi went around in circles, wanting to know who Kong Yunxian called him away to see.At first, Yan Shenggong only hinted at it with various allusions.How can the officials read as many books as Yan Shenggong?I couldn't understand one analogy, and I still couldn't understand another analogy, and my face flushed with anxiety.In the end, Yan Shenggong revealed: "It's the lord of a foreign country." The official was startled.Yan Shenggong looked very carefree.

The Kong family father and son didn't know that Zhang Yuan was the donated official.Since Zhang's father is a Confucian student, and he himself is now an official of the second rank, it is assumed that he has entered the official position through the imperial examination.And they are all laymen in medicine.Hearing that he extended Lin Hai's lifespan for 26 years, he immediately put him in the category of "miracle doctor".With the conditioning of a Confucian-born genius doctor, you will surely live a long life.The father and son instantly became more confident about their own longevity.

And Jia Cong's words of "guiding people to be good" are so sincere that Yan Shenggong secretly speculates: This person must really be the lower realm of the great god of the Santan Haihui.Because he was ordered by the Emperor of Heaven to kill overseas, it is difficult to save all sentient beings; but he was originally a Taoist child, and he couldn't hide his desire to save people, so he wanted to use the good people in the world to guide people to be good.With this in mind, Duke Yansheng trusted Jia Cong [-]% to [-]%.

Three days later, Yan Shenggong told the clan that he was going to Yan Country.Most people in the clan opposed it.Naturally, Yan Shenggong couldn't say that he wanted to take advantage of the situation to protect his family's ancient books, so he publicized the "miracle doctor Zhang Youshi" once, saying: "Our family has not lived long for generations. This miracle doctor Zhang has the ability to reverse fate and change the book of life and death. I don’t know which god descended to the lower realm. The former Minister of the Household Department Lin Boss was already terminally ill, and he was forced to save him, and he is now healthier than ordinary people.” Not only did the Kong family have short-lived Shenggong, but many others also had short-lived lives. .Hearing this remark, they instantly agreed.He said in his mouth that he hoped that Zhang Miracle Doctor would prolong Yan Shenggong's life, but in his heart he hoped that this person really had that ability, and he would take a look for himself when he turned around.

The matter spread like wildfire.The county magistrate of Qufu and the officials sent by the king of Qi to borrow books were all shocked, and they came to the door at the same time to stop them.However, the excuse given by Duke Yan Sheng is really good, you can't stop people from seeing the doctor, right?It is obvious that their family did not live long.Those two racked their brains and couldn't find a way to prevent him from going, they were so anxious.After a while, the two decided to send people to the Qi Palace to meet Qi Wang.

Theoretically, the man set off in the morning and should have returned in the afternoon with King Qi's order, but he still hasn't returned after waiting for two days.This Yan Shenggong and his son Kong Yunxian packed their luggage together, and decided to leave on an auspicious day.There was no other way, and the magistrate of Qufu decided to take a trip by himself.

Hurrying to Prince Qi's Mansion, I saw how many courtiers were buzzing at the door waiting to be summoned.Suddenly someone yelled "Master".The county magistrate of Qufu saw that it was the little official he had sent.He hurriedly stepped forward to reprimand: "Didn't I tell you to go back quickly? What have you been doing these days?"

The little official smiled wryly and said: "What else can I do with a lowly position? I ask for an audience at the gate of the Qi Palace every day. My lord, look at what kind of official robes these people are wearing. How can we little people get in?" The county magistrate turned around and looked. Those gentlemen, their official robes are really too shabby...

In just a few days, the Qi State has already turned its back on its back.Master Lu investigated the case of Baguazhuang, and found out a large group of officials and the Third Highness.The Fengrao Rice Shop opened by a foreigner, Mr. Lu just started to secretly investigate, and received a report from someone, saying that the owner was from the Cui family.The Cui family naturally didn't recognize it.Then the third uncle's uncle, General Ouyang, was almost poisoned to death. A suicide note written in the name of General Ouyang was found from the assassin, and the handwriting was exactly the same as General Ouyang's.Then find out that the subordinate of General Ouyang who delivered guns to the third child was actually bought by others with a lot of money, and has nothing to do with General Ouyang himself.It can be seen that Mr. Zhou Ji guessed correctly again, General Ouyang was framed and blamed.Suspicion naturally fell on the Cui family.

Just now Master Lu said, "Quickly check the Cui family." Suddenly, some elders appeared in his own house and told him, "The Cui and Lu families have been friends for generations. Let them deal with the Cui family's affairs by themselves."

The next day, the Cui family sent a highly respected old man to see Mr. Lu, he sighed: "This is what Cui Mian of my family did."

Master Lu was stunned: "Isn't Cui Mian the father-in-law of His Highness the Fifth Highness? How could he help His Highness the Third?"

Old Master Cui said: "The Fifth Highness has already secretly taken refuge in the Third Highness." Then he called out more than twenty witnesses and sent a lot of evidence.

How can Mr. Lu not know that Cui Mian is going to block the knife again?It's just that as an outsider, he can't do anything about it.After sighing for a moment, he was about to go to visit Cui Mian when he remembered that Cui Mian suddenly fell seriously ill a while ago.Master Lu sneered, he was afraid that the illness would scare him.But at this moment, someone from his subordinates came in and replied: "I just got a letter from outside, Mr. Cui Mian said that Mr. Zhou Ji of Yan State sent him a good medicine from Qufu urgently, and he is already cured."

Mr. Lu was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Zhou Ji doesn't rub the sand in his eyes, he must have said something." He immediately ordered his horses to go out.

As expected.Not only did Cui Mian completely deny the crimes committed by his family, but he also told all about how his clan uncle forced him to fill the tank for his clan brother when he was old.Master Lu wondered: "How can brother Cui agree to such a serious crime?" Cui Mian sighed wearily.

He co-authored his son Cui Ju who had an affair with a widow when he was a teenager, causing her to become pregnant.But that woman happened to be his sister-in-law, and because of her youth and widowhood, she set up a chastity memorial archway.Such a scandal, according to common sense, should be a sinking pond for both.It's just that Cui Mian couldn't let the eldest son die, and the sister-in-law's family didn't want to lose the chastity archway, so they worked together to cover up the matter.Then the mother-in-law's family of the later family wanted the widow to die of illness, and Cui Ju made a big fuss after finding out.In the end, the patriarch came forward and said that the widow's sister-in-law had died of illness, but in fact he was sent to a monastery in the mountains to become a monk.The child was also born, and now he is a little Taoist priest.Although Cui Ju himself married wives and took concubines, he had no children.The little Taoist became his only flesh and blood.

Cui's direct branch took Cui Ju's shortcoming and made a raft with the little Taoist priests, and Cui Mian was controlled by them everywhere.I have suffered once for others in my early years, and it is difficult to be promoted in this life; I don't want to have a bigger one now.Cui Mian smiled bitterly and said: "Lord Lu, I really have no choice. The clan uncle of the lower official said a lot, but he just told the lower official that there is no danger, and that my daughter is pregnant with the posthumous child of His Highness Fifth. Not an idiot! This crime is too great, there is death but no life. The officials can’t bear it! Therefore, the officials pretended to be sick and closed the door to thank the guests two days ago, just because they didn’t want to see the people in the clan again—they haven’t told the officials yet. If you have made a good confession, you will not act rashly." He shook his head, "The co-author doesn't even need to make a confession with me, as he has prepared personal and physical evidence."

Master Lu thought for a long time after hearing this, and asked: "I wonder what magic medicine Mr. Zhou Ji sent to Master Cui?" Cui Mian then told him the two fables written by foreign ancients.Master Lu nodded and said, "I believe in Master Cui. Without it, I know Mr. Zhou Ji's temperament. And he really has nothing to do with Qi State, and he will not help anyone. It's just... I believe it's useless. The witness evidence sent by Uncle Ling is really complete."

Cui Mian put his mind to one side: "The matter has come to this, either I die or he dies. A few days ago, the one who gave the Lord a good deal of rich rice is the next official."

Master Lu was slightly startled, and immediately stood up and made a bow: "It turned out to be Master Cui. Thank you, sir."

Cui Mian hurriedly returned the courtesy and said: "If the subordinate officials have done those things, how can they stand up to themselves?"

Lord Lu shook his head: "That's not much evidence, it's hard to convince the prince."

Cui Mian said urgently: "Those evidences are all forged!"

Master Lu sighed: "If your Cui family wants to forge some evidence, it may be difficult for people to see the flaws. And those evidences are not made recently." Cui Mian was taken aback.Master Lu smiled wryly, "Master Cui, Uncle Ling Zu is really a character. Before he counts victory, he counts defeat. He has prepared three groups of people, Li Daitao. The first wave has already been imprisoned, and the second is General Ouyang Tu If he hadn't been nearly assassinated, he would have jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't clear it up. If General Ouyang couldn't stop him, then it would be your turn, Mr. Cui. All the evidence, even the witnesses, were prepared from the very beginning. .Invulnerable."

Cui Mian was stunned.After a long while, he murmured: "Could it be that God wants to kill me unjustly?"

Suddenly someone shouted outside the door: "Father, I have a solution!" Cui Ju pushed the door open and entered.

Cui Mian hurriedly said: "What can you do, tell me!"

Cui Ju said: "Since they prepared three sets of scapegoats many years ago, they naturally prepared three sets of witnesses, right?"

Master Lu nodded: "That's right. General Ouyang found many letters and account books in the secret compartment of his home yesterday."

Cui Ju snorted coldly: "Lord Lu, do you still remember the bustle in the theater? Now that you have letters, you can follow Mr. Zhou's method and count the letters written by my father and General Ouyang. .”
