/script It is said that Jia Cong and others encountered some trouble in the Kingdom of Shu. It seemed like two families were exchanging children. They were just living in other people's homes, and it was not a big deal if the master disappeared. Jia Xu ordered Chen Ruijin to stay and went there by himself. The Guo family has gone.
Not long after he left, the Yuan family couple came back! It was obvious that they had cried. Uncle Yuan looked at Jia Cong and shook his head: "It's not what the young master guessed." Jia Cong was stunned. He asked Jia Xu again, Jia Cong said, "We went for a walk." Aunt Yuan and her daughter began to pack the dinner. When Jia Xu came back, everyone pretended that nothing happened, finished dinner and went back to rest.
Jia Cong was anxious, so he pulled Jia Xu and asked, "Fifth uncle, what's going on?"
Jia Xu said: "Mr. Guo was not at home when I went there. I heard his servants gossiping that the Yuan family and his wife had gone to look for him, but they never went out. They must have gone underground."
Jia Cong scratched his head and said, "This old man is so weird."
Liu Feng said: "Should we live somewhere else? It seems that we are not at ease."
Jia Cong hurriedly said: "Are you not practical? Oh, if someone is not practical, something will happen! Let's hide out. After all, this is someone else's territory, so it's safer."
Jia Xu, Chen Ruijin and others were both cautious, so they pretended to go out and tell the Yuan family that they were tired after a day's journey and needed to go to bed early. Aunt Yuan also gave them a bottle of water. After everything was done, the four of them He slipped away like a thief and hid in the Yuan family's neighbor's backyard.
It was the middle of the night, and Chen Ruijin pushed Jia Cong awake. Jia Cong rubbed his eyes and heard many popping noises outside, and asked quietly: "What?"
"A brave thief," Chen Ruijin said, "an elite soldier."
Jia Cong patted his chest: "Too bad I'm not a big-hearted pig teammate." Nai complained, "We agreed to form a party to move into a new era, but we were hunted down for no apparent reason." He looked around again, "Where's the fifth uncle?"
"Going out." Liu Feng said, "He went out when he heard the noise."
"oh."
Unexpectedly, Jia Xu had not come back for a long time. It was almost dawn, and Jia Cong could hardly stay any longer. Jia Xu finally came back. He led them through the morning frost, and when they arrived at the door of an empty house, the sun was rising in the east. Inside, Mr. Guo was tied to the ground, his face bloodless.
Jia Xu said: "You have such a tough mouth. I spent half a day trying to pry it open. Aren't you smart, Cong'er? You can use the same formula."
"Who was the thief just now?"
"His people," Jia Xu said, "more than forty of them, chopped the pillows and bedding on our bed into several pieces."
"Tsk, tsk." Jia Cong came up to the old man and circled around him twice, "Is it worth it? There is no grievance or enmity. I told you that we were just passing by." The old man closed his eyes and said nothing.
Jia Cong said again: "Don't pretend that everything is empty. Believe it or not, let's go and kill the man named Yuan." The old man opened his eyes immediately. Jia Cong shrugged and said, "Uncle Yuan told me last night, I guess Wrong. If you didn't change that child for his wife, you could only do it for him."
The old man asked hoarsely: "Who are you?"
"Uncle, you are a prisoner now." Jia Cong curled his lips and said, "But I guess you won't say who you are. Let me guess. I never believe in accidents. There must be a reason for accidents. Yesterday we watched a fight, and I I guessed a few words and was overheard by a child. I went back to tell you. Then you didn’t ask anything and just wanted to kill us and silence us. This small town is not a traffic thoroughfare, and there are not many foreigners passing by. If I It's not an accident that your nonsense was heard, it's because you sent people to follow each group of strangers secretly. Children don't attract much attention, and it doesn't cost much to hire them. You kill people indiscriminately, which shows that you are very afraid. You don't hesitate to accidentally injure people's lives. Who would be afraid of outsiders who would end up like this? They are all frightened! You must be a wanted criminal by the court. And the crime you committed must be very big." He turned to Jia Xu and asked, "In today's world, bandits are rampant. , the king of the mountain is amazing, he can cover the sky with just one man in his hand. Who can hold a man and a horse in his hand and still be so scared? Besides, Uncle Yuan must be over thirty."
Jia Xu thought for a long time, shook his head and said: "I can't think of it. Those things in the early years are nothing now. Moreover, the world has been divided, and all the kings can forget the past."
Liu Feng said: "Presumably, the old man offended the Sixth Prince and hid back home when he was running on the dock many years ago. I thought it would be better to hide, but who would have thought that it was not because enemies didn't get together, that the Sixth Prince actually came to Shu as the master. I went back to Chengdu to ask Ask the King of Shu if he has any enemies that he hasn't caught. If you don't catch them all, you can get some rewards. Take him with you, and that Uncle Yuan."
Mr. Guo was calm at first, but when he heard "Uncle Yuan" he couldn't help but stirred and said: "How much do you want?"
Liu Feng said to himself: "He takes Uncle Yuan more seriously than himself."
"It's normal." Jia Cong said, "He is already so old, so naturally his son is more important than himself."
"No." Chen Ruijin said, "Not a son. He is a master." She walked slowly from behind to Old Mrs. Guo and gently tore open his collar, only to see a scar two inches below his neck. She said calmly, " Your master, you are quite loyal."
Jia Xu thought for a moment: "Oh, you are that Guo Sanshui." Naidao said, "Mr. Zhan may have been frustrated with this matter for most of his life. In the early years, Prince Yi Zhong almost succeeded, but there was a counselor recommended by Situ Pan, who was from Hubei. Guo Shu. Prince Yi Zhong regarded this man as a military advisor, but this man killed him. Mr. Guo had a soldier beside him, a Sichuan native, who happened to be named Guo, and his name was Guo Sanshui. Once Guo Shu was assassinated, this man took his place. I blocked the sword and it hit here." He pointed at Old Mrs. Guo's scar and said, "He is dead."
Jia Cong said: "In fact, that Guo Shu is a descendant of the Guo family who moved from this town to Hubei in the past. He knows that the fate of these princes is unpredictable: it may be Yangguandao who will be granted the title of marquis and prime minister, or he may be killed. The donkey was about to die. He ordered Guo Sanshui to hide the son and bring it to the Guo family's hometown or find a commoner family to raise it. Well, he must have secretly exchanged the child for someone else, otherwise he might be found out." His brain was arrogant. It turned very smoothly, and he clapped his hands and said, "Well, that's about it. Guo Sanshui first faked his death and came back, and a few days later he pretended to marry a daughter-in-law, who was actually Guo Shu's pregnant concubine. After the child was born, she changed to Yuan In this way, even if he was found out by the princes, Guo Shu's child was still alive. Later, seeing that the long-lasting court did not do anything, he replaced his grandson who should have been named Yuan, so that he could educate Guo Shu well. His biological grandson. It’s almost like this, right?”
Looking at Old Mrs. Guo's face again, it looked like he had seen a ghost.
Jia Cong asked again: "What do you have to do with the King of Shu?"
Jia Xu smiled and said: "Do you know how the Sixth Prince lost his military power? Mr. Guo dug a hole for him, making the late emperor think that he was going to rebel. He wore shackles from the border all the way to the capital, so that he could hang on all the people and die. His eldest son also died. In the hands of Mr. Guo. Because of this matter, Prince Yi Zhong completely trusted Guo Shu. By the time the Sixth Prince recovered his breath and wanted to take revenge, it was already too late. Guo Shu and his family had been silenced long ago."
Jia Cong asked curiously: "Since they are all so withered, can Prince Yi Zhong's men still be able to kill the emperor's hero?"
Jia Xu glanced at him: "Who told you that Prince Yi Zhong killed him?"
"Huh? Did Liu Dengxi kill him?"
"No," Jia Xu said, "I still don't know who killed him. I'm sure it wasn't Prince Yi Zhong who killed him."
"How do you know?"
"The killing was too random." Jia Xu said, "You can tell from the way it was done that there was no grudge. I went to examine the body myself."
Mr. Guo's eyes lit up as if they were on fire: "Who killed the military advisor!"
Jia Cong held his cheek and said: "If it's not Prince Yi Zhong... Hey, old man, who does Guo Shu belong to? The Emperor's or the King Yan's?"
Old Mrs. Guo was stunned: "The two of them are in the same group!"
"No." Jia Cong said, "They just temporarily joined forces in those years. You always know Guo Shu's lord. Who did he vote for first? The third prince or the ninth prince?"
Old Mrs. Guo said: "Third Prince."
Jia Cong said: "It may be that Guo Shu sensed that the Ninth Prince had treason, and sooner or later he would become an enemy of the Third Prince. Pianjiu Prince also sensed that Guo Shu sensed that he had treason, and took the initiative to kill someone to silence him."
"Impossible!" Old Mrs. Guo said, "The military advisor is the reincarnation of Zhuge, and the Ninth Prince cannot harm him! The Ninth Prince personally admits that he is not as good as the military advisor!"
"Oh." Jia Cong said, "I don't know about that. It's just that, anyway, it has nothing to do with us. There are still two puzzles: the Guo family's organization, and Mr. Guo's men. A soldier who was ordered to hide with the young master. , how come there are so many people at hand? How did you create such a thing as a trap, a stick-like master like Mr. Guo who wants to kill people and silence them even if they just say a few words to them?"
Liu Feng suddenly said: "Those casual remarks made by the third master are really not murderous. It is not the hottest thing now."
Old Mrs. Guo said: "He even guessed at changing the child. What if it is the Sixth Prince's person?"
Liu Feng smiled and said, "It's obviously not because of this that you keep climbing along the pole." Then he said to Jia Cong, "I'm afraid what the third master just guessed is wrong."
"ha?"
Liu Feng looked at Mr. Guo and said: "If I were Guo Shu, I would never leave my young son to a master who is like a stick if I want to keep a wife for myself. The old man is definitely not very wise. So he went back again. Yesterday, the old man was anxious Why did you throw us into a trap?"
Jia Cong frowned: "You said 'thrown into a trap'."
Liu Feng nodded and said: "It's not 'killing'. What would happen if we were just ordinary merchants and fell into a trap?"
Old Mrs. Guo looked at them for a long time and then asked, "Who are you?"
Jia Cong said: "I won't tell you."
The old man sighed, "That's all." He chuckled again and said, "Excellent." He suddenly jumped up and shot out like an arrow. The two masters Jia Xu and Chen Ruijin were unable to stop him. They watched him hit the corner and died. Death.
Several people looked at each other in confusion. Jia Cong murmured: "No matter what, there is no need to die..."
Liu Feng asked: "How to deal with it now?"
"What do you think?"
"Third Master is the best at untangling messes."
Jia Cong curled his lips and said, "I usually chop with a knife." Then he turned around and walked out of the empty house, heading straight to Yuan's house.
The Yuan family is in chaos at the moment. Uncle Yuan saw that the guests were missing, and the bedding and pillows on the bed had been cut into several pieces. He didn't know what had happened, so he called a large group of relatives at home to go to the town to help find them. See you. They were safe and breathed a sigh of relief. Aunt Yuan recited the Buddha's name.
After the helper left, Jia Cong said in a low voice with a solemn face: "Uncle Yuan, the matter is more troublesome than we thought, much more troublesome. Mrs. Guo is gone."
"Ah?!" Uncle Yuan trembled in fright.
"Regardless of which one is your son, even you, your whole family, and the Guo family's whole family, including the two children, are not safe now."
Uncle Yuan was confused: "Master Jia, what's going on!"
Jia Cong said: "What did Mr. Guo tell you yesterday? It may not be the truth. No, it is probably not the truth."
The Yuan family looked at each other, and Uncle Yuan said after a while: "He...he said...I am the son of a general he used to follow. The general was framed by a traitor and managed to hide his son in Yuan Home."
"What's your last name, General?"
"My surname is Guo," said Uncle Yuan. "He is buried outside the town. He took us two to pay homage to my biological father yesterday."
Jia Xu shook his head and said, "No. If you are Guo Shu's son, Guo Shu's body is not here."
Jia Cong said: "Perhaps Mrs. Guo moved here later?"
Jia Xu said: "He doesn't know where he is." Jia Cong hurriedly shut up. It was obvious that he was the one who buried Guo Shu.
Liu Fengnai asked: "You went out from the tunnel of Guo's house, right? How deep is the tunnel? Is it a made-made staircase or a wooden ladder? Where is the exit?"
"It's not deep." Uncle Yuan said, "It's only about one foot. It's a wooden ladder. The exit is my dad... He said my dad's grave is not far away."
Liu Feng smiled and said: "If my guess is correct, then the tomb must be newly built."
Uncle Yuan hurriedly said: "Because there has been a lot of rain this year, the tomb has moved slightly. The old man has indeed repaired it recently."
"Let's go and take a look first." Liu Feng said, "That Mr. Guo is probably not a dandy."
Jia Cong suddenly said: "I know!"
After waiting for a while, no one asked. Only Uncle Yuan asked cautiously, "What does Mr. Jia know?"
Jia Cong breathed a sigh of relief: "There are still coincidences in the world." He said to everyone, "As soon as what happened yesterday happened, it would have to be spread in the town for a few days. There are always merchants passing through this town, and there are always people. When you want to eat, there are always people asking for gossip."
Liu Feng smiled and said: "The tavern yesterday."
Jia Cong nodded and said: "The shopkeeper and the second brother may or may not be from Mr. Guo. In short, there are merchants in the tavern who can hear the story of 'the son of the Yuan family looks like Mr. Guo'. After all, Aunt Yuan I am innocent with Mr. Guo." He glanced at Aunt Yuan.
Aunt Yuan lowered her head and said: "I saw that the child has been changed... I just dare not say anything."
Jia Cong continued: "Therefore, it won't be long before someone will guess whether the two families have exchanged children. Oh, they are both grandsons, why should we exchange children? We are just bumping into each other. That’s all.”
Uncle Yuan said inexplicably: "So what?"
"There are always those who keep asking after they leave the tavern." Jia Cong said, "If Mr. Guo invited him to sit at home, would he not go? If he sat for a while, he would fall out of the trap. I wandered around for a few days, hungry and scared, and then I escaped from the tunnel by chance! As soon as I came out of the tunnel, I saw a tomb. Will I go and see what the name is written on the tomb? It's easy to escape, yes. Aren't you going to leave this place quickly? After a few days and see that everything is safe, will you tell others about it as a story? After hearing this, will others make blind guesses?" Jia Cong smiled and said, "This is a trap. .Old Master Guo dug a hole ten years ago. He has trapped you, Uncle Yuan, and your own son. He will inevitably trap others in the future, such as the King of Shu, Fang Xiong, and so on."
Uncle Yuan stayed for a long time and asked: "Am I the son of General Guo?"
"No." Jia Cong said, "You are the son of the Yuan family. Your son is the grandson of Mr. Guo." Nai looked at his friends with a smile, "Do you have anything to add?"
Jia Xu smiled and said nothing, but Chen Ruijin still looked calm. Liu Feng said: "Yes. There is someone in Shu who wants to rebel, and he is a military general. Judging from the openness of Mr. Guo, 90% of it is Fang Xiong, the military commander of Jiannan."
"Huh? Aren't they in the same group?"
"No." Liu Feng said with a smile, "They just temporarily joined forces in those few years." (..)
