It was said that Jia Xu had been miserable for half a day, which made him feel quite pitiful. After reading at midnight, Qin Sangu sighed softly: "It's a good fortune teller."
Jia Cong said hurriedly: "Isn't that right? My third and fourth uncles all died young."
Qin Sangu looked at Jia Xu again, her expression softened: "Why do you want to recognize him as your family again?"
Jia Xu glanced at Jia Cong. Jia Cong puffed up his chest proudly and said, "Because I gave his nephew the dignity of an old man. My fifth uncle didn't say that he liked it in his heart."
Jia Xu knocked him, turned to look at Qin Sangu and said, "I'm not young anymore, I have to marry a wife, right? When marrying a wife, you can't recognize your ancestors and return to the clan? Otherwise, it will be inconvenient to register in the household registration." Qin Sangu said. Blushed immediately.
Jia Cong chuckled: "Third aunt, do you want to go to Taiwan? My father really wants to see you."
Jia Xu said with a smile: "She was going to go. I told her that day that I would also go to Taiwan first, didn't I? You just don't believe it." Jia Cong immediately clapped his hands and cheered.
Sangu Qin was dumbfounded! At that time, she was thinking of going to Taiwan to take Jia Cong with her to Qiongzhou, so that Huo Sheng would not be difficult to deal with. Who knew that the person who had accidentally turned out to be his uncle! But now she couldn't say it. It didn't work either. He looked up and saw that his uncle and nephew both looked like they were succeeding in their treacherous plot. He couldn't say anything to refute, and his face became even redder. He quickly changed the subject and asked, "Who is Chen Ruijin?"
Jia Cong answered obediently: "She is also an unlucky person. She was originally the legitimate daughter of the head of the Qi State Mansion. Because she was smart when she was a child, she was sold to the Supreme Emperor as a female guard by her family. After the death of the old eunuch named Liu, she joined S.H.I.E.L.D. "
Qin Sangu thought: "Is that the young woman who saved your life by helping uncle Yang guard Yang in Lingnan last year?"
"Yes." Jia Cong nodded, "Uncle Yang came here later. I was not prepared at all at that moment, and I almost thought I was about to give up this fat life, but she suddenly appeared out of nowhere and saved me. .”
Jia Xu said: "I saw that Cong'er often took bold risks and her kung fu was weak, so I ordered her to protect her. Why are you running around alone again? Where is Chen Yatou?"
Jia Cong said: "Tuan Tuan is about to be one year old. I'm afraid Chen Guo's affairs are not going well and I won't be able to catch up. I'll bother her to go to Ping'an Prefecture to deliver gifts first. She will come over after the delivery is over."
Jia Xu frowned and said, "It's not good for anyone to give gifts."
"Some of the gifts are for Tuantuan, some are for my sister, and some are for my brother-in-law." Jia Cong said with a smile, "The ones for my brother-in-law are some Western firearms, which are quite important."
Qin Sangu glanced at Jia Xu and asked, "You said your nephew asked you to come to Chen Guolai for something, but this kid is the one who has something?"
"Um."
She asked Jia Cong again: "What's the matter?"
Jia Cong giggled a few times and said, "Let's talk about this later!" Aunt Jia Xu and Qin looked at each other with a somewhat unpleasant feeling.
The next night, Qu Shen was upset and slept alone in the study. At midnight, the window suddenly opened with a "squeak" and made a swaying sound. He had not slept well these days, and he woke up immediately and drank. He asked "Who?" He turned over and sat up. After listening for a long time, the only sound was the sound from the window. Then he shouted: "Come here! Bring tea!" No one answered. He became more and more uneasy, so he opened the curtain. I tried to shout again, but the words were stuck under my tongue and were blocked.
He saw a person standing in his room, who was clearly visible in the moonlight. Although this person covered his face with a black scarf, he was wearing a set of clothes of a palace eunuch. Qu Shen was frightened and was stunned. Sitting, holding up the curtain with one hand, looking at the eunuch with his mouth open.
The eunuch took out a sword from his sleeve, with a piece of paper stuck on the tip of the sword, and flicked it. The paper fell silently from the sword, and the tip of the sword slid coldly across Qu Shen's neck without cutting it. Qu Shen still
Like a wooden man. The sword swiped again and cut through the tent. The tent fell down and covered Qu Shen. Only then did Qu Shen wake up and shouted "Ah ah ah", "Help, help, help..."
"
The night watchman immediately ran in and opened the tent for him. Qu Shen looked at the servants, looked around for a moment, and shouted: "There is an assassin..." Others were shocked and shouted too.
Get up, "There is an assassin -" "There is an assassin -" The gongs in the mansion were ringing, and everyone was searching for the assassin. There were two girls in his study keeping vigil at night, and there were two boys guarding the door, but all four of them were
I slept to death.
Qu Shen ordered his men to light several candlesticks, illuminating the study as bright as day, and looked for the piece of paper that the eunuch had just dropped. Within a moment, he found it beside the bed. Qu Shen was shocked when he saw it. It was a piece of paper that had been burned.
The yellow paper given to the dead man had eight words written on it: The thief suspects that you will kill his son. Qu Shen recognized the handwriting, it was the handwriting of the dead Liu Dengxi. But it was absolutely true that Liu Dengxi was dead. And just now
The eunuch was obviously much taller than Liu Dengxi. Qu Shen seemed to have twenty-five little mice in his arms, with hundreds of claws scratching his heart.
He was also surprised that he had nothing to do with Situ Pan's death, and the fourth girl from the Rongguo Mansion had testified; why did Prince Yan's Mansion arrest him later? And he had said everything he could, so why didn't Situ Pan let him go? I didn't want to
He actually suspected that Chen Guo had killed his son. Qu Shen really didn't know whether his nephew had killed Situ Yu. He was not sure whether the yellow paper was sent by Liu Dengxi's ghost or Liu Dengxi.
The men left behind before were running around in the house anxiously. Someone came to report again from outside. They were busy for half a night, but they didn't even catch a hair on the person.
Naturally, Qu Shen stayed up all night. The people sent by Situ Pan were naturally alarmed and came to ask him. Because he was so confused, he just pretended to be frightened and refused to say anything.
The next day, he sent someone to the Yamen to report the assassin and asked the whole city to search for the assassin. The person who reported the message came back not long after and said: "Master! The assassin is here!"
Qu Shen immediately sat up from the bed: "What? That's it?!"
The boy who reported the news said: "The assassin happened to report the crime, and he was in the Yamen! The prefect caught him!"
"Report a crime?" Qu Shen felt strange, "Speak clearly!"
It turns out that early this morning, a scholar named Zhao went to the Yamen to report that there was a thief in his home. The Yamen asked him what he had lost, and he said that he had not lost anything. It was just that he got up to study early in the morning and there was too much on the floor in the study.
A set of clothes! Someone who had a grudge against him must have hired a thief to throw them away. Master Liu, the prefect, laughed and said, "Where can an enemy give you clothes?" before sending him away. The scholar shouted angrily: "
I'm late and not yet married! Those are eunuch's clothes!" The courtroom burst into laughter. Coincidentally, Qu Shen also sent someone to report the case. Master Liu heard that a eunuch had gone to Master Qu's house to assassinate him, and immediately ordered Shusheng Zhao to be captured in court.
This matter was obviously fishy. If the scholar was an assassin, how could he go and report the crime himself? Qu Shen asked, "Where is Mr. Liu?"
The boy said: "I'm interrogating that person named Zhao."
Qu Shen ordered him to change his clothes and hurried over.
When he arrived at the magistrate's office, he saw that Scholar Zhao was so frightened that he burst into tears and shouted that he was wronged. Qu Shen saw that he looked exactly like the eunuch from last night, and asked Magistrate Liu: "Where are those clothes?"
Magistrate Liu hurriedly said: "He already brought it when he came to report the case." He ordered someone to bring it to him.
Qu Shen took a look and saw that it was indeed what the eunuch was wearing last night. Even the black scarf covering his face was wrapped in it. He asked Scholar Zhao: "Do you have a sword at home?"
Zhao Shusheng cried and said: "There is a handle hanging in the study, but it is to suppress evil spirits and never attack." Qu Shen ordered him to lead the way.
A group of people hurried to Zhao Shusheng's house and took down the sword from the wall of his study. Qu Shen pulled it out with his own hands. When he came out, he saw that there were two green silk threads hanging on the blade of the sword! The tent he slept on was exactly the green silk thread.
Green. This sword has never been used before. Looking back at the scholar, he was swaying and crying, unlike someone who had studied martial arts. Qu Shen then took the silk thread and returned home, and ordered Magistrate Liu to investigate the man surnamed Zhao.
Returning to the house, he paired the two silk threads with the tent. It was obvious that they were torn from the tent. The sword was broken without touching the silk ends. It would make sense if the sword had not been sharpened. Qu Shen had already understood the general idea: I'm afraid
It was Liu Dengxi's soul who possessed this person and came to warn him. So he didn't dare to delay any longer, put the yellow paper in his sleeve, ignored Situ Pan's people who were asking questions, and went straight to Concubine Hui.
Gone somewhere.
When Qu Shen saw his sister, he fell to his knees and burst into tears.
Concubine Hui asked quickly: "What happened? I heard that my brother was assassinated last night."
Qu Shen then cried and told how he was arrested in the capital, how King Yan's men smashed a room full of torture instruments at him, and how he lost his courage and dumped them all. He was honest and sold Situ Pan for a solid sum.
.And he took out the yellow paper from his sleeve and told what happened last night.
Concubine Hui was also shocked. Seeing that the handwriting was indeed Liu Dengxi's, she believed most of Qu Shen's words and couldn't help but burst into tears: "My foster father still missed me and my son after he died." Then she looked at her brother.
, saw him trembling on the ground, and sighed, "I know my brother's temperament... that's all, you don't know anything important anyway." Then she ordered someone to invite her son.
Suddenly, Magistrate Liu sent someone to deliver a letter. The man surnamed Zhao was really an ordinary scholar. He had no ability to tie a chicken and had no ability to climb over a wall or enter a house.
In the evening of that day, Jia Cong finally met King Chen at the Hu spicy soup stall. While drinking the soup, he said: "Oh, Brother Qu is here! I have been waiting for you for several days, and I almost thought that I
You’re just being sentimental.”
King Chen was startled: "Are you waiting for me?"
"Nonsense." Jia Cong rolled his eyes, "Otherwise I would come to Chenzhou and wander around the streets every day, thinking I was full."
King Chen couldn't help but smile: "I'm sorry, I really don't know what you mean, sir."
Jia Congyan took a sip of soup from his neck and asked: "Let me ask you, were you the ones who sent that strong aunt and that female elder brother two days ago?"
King Chen said: "That's right. Someone recognized Mr. Wang. Because Xiao Wang didn't know the purpose of Mr.'s visit, he sent her two to investigate."
"Why did you send two women?"
King Chen laughed and said: "When the people below came to report the news, it happened that my sister-in-law was nearby. She only heard a few words and mistakenly thought that someone came to Chenzhou to spy on the military and people's affairs. She was lively and naughty and wanted to go. I thought, ordinary people
It is difficult to cover up the traces in front of the third master. She is innocent and does not know how to cover up. It is better to keep it intact."
The corner of Jia Cong's mouth twitched: "You people like to think too much, and ordinary things may not be too outrageous if you think about them randomly." King Chen held his hand over again and again. Jia Cong waved his hand and said, "That's all, it's just a trivial matter." He smiled and said, "
That auntie looks like she is a master. Sure enough, we fat people can also be very good at martial arts."
King Chen hurriedly said: "How about letting her have a fight with the husband if we have time?"
"I don't want it!" Jia Cong said, "Can I just give it to you for free? Besides, I'm not a child anymore. When I was a child, I always thought that I would learn martial arts and become a great master in the future. Now I understand.
Well, even if I have the best master in the world, I can’t become a master.”
King Chen smiled and said, "Why are you so humble, sir?"
Jia Cong said: "It's not self-effacing, it's self-awareness. If you want to be a master, you have to put in a lot of effort to practice, and the cold and heat are constant day by day. A lazy person like me, who spends three days fishing and two days drying nets, what if I
If you can practice peerless martial arts, there really is no justice in this world."
King Chen couldn't help laughing: "Sir, you are honest." Seeing Jia Cong finish drinking the soup, he asked, "I wonder why you came to see Xiao Wang now?"
"Thank you." Jia Cong took the handkerchief and wiped his mouth and said, "Kill Situ Yu."
King Chen was stunned: "What?!"
Jia Cong said: "That boy Situ Jian wanted to kill me last year! He is the son of King Yan. I can't take revenge. I hate him so much! Who knew you actually killed him? So I come here to thank you."
"This..." King Chen was shocked, "How could I kill him?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Stop pretending! I have some people in the capital, and King Yan has already checked everything. It's almost ten, but there is no evidence for the time being."
King Chen was anxious: "It's really not me! Someone must have framed me! Now he is strong and I am weak. If I kill his son for no reason, am I going to hit an egg against a stone?"
Jia Cong looked at him for a while and muttered: "You really don't look like you are pretending."
King Chen stumbled and said, "I'm not pretending! How could Uncle Jiu be suspicious of me?"
Jia Cong said: "I don't know the details. I just said that all the links are connected. I thought it was really you who did it! I came all the way to Chenzhou to report that the secret was exposed and asked you to hurry up."
run."
Chen Wangdao: "He has no evidence."
Jia Cong said: "If he really believes it, it doesn't matter whether he has evidence or not. If you really want some evidence, it's not impossible to get it. And it's useless even if you go and confess and swear now."
King Chen asked anxiously: "What should we do?"
Jia Cong thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you just run away."
King Chen said: "Everyone in the world has his own master, where can he go?"
Jia Cong smiled slightly: "Qiongzhou."
King Chen was stunned.
"Huo Sheng, the king of Nan'an County, is in Qiongzhou. He has more than 100,000 naval troops who are good at fighting. Don't you have a good relationship with him?" Jia Cong said, "He is working hard to build his army."
"Isn't he fighting the rebellion in the South China Sea?"
Jia Cong snorted: "Just a rebel! Those small barbarian countries have long been defeated by him. He wants to take advantage of the fact that the kings have not sent troops overseas to get a vote first. The Japanese country is not far from Qiongzhou, and the country is small and not
We are poor, the country is in chaos, and the country's leader has become the puppet of the general. Huo Sheng only said that he would eliminate traitors and seize power for the leader of the Japanese country, but he was really thinking about the treasury of the general's palace in that country."
When King Chen heard this, he was silent for a while and asked, "How do you know this, sir?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "I sold a lot of things to him, and some of them were on credit. I just hope that he will conquer Japan soon and bring back the money from the Japanese shogunate's treasury so that I can repay my debt."
King Chen thought for a moment: "Sir, do you think he can win?"
A chill appeared on Jia Cong's face: "If the soldiers of our dynasty cannot win a war like robbing the warehouses of foreign traitors for free, the whole country will be waiting to die."
King Chen couldn't help but tremble when he heard this, and looked up at Jia Cong deeply.
