It was said that a scholar who knew Taoism and Dharma came to the Prince of Shu's Mansion, and said that the feng shui of the Prince's Mansion was very bad, and that a lot of construction work was needed to keep the King of Shu safe. The King of Shu was frightened, and ordered the whole family to move out of the Mansion without waiting, and sent a confidant named Qiu Liang and
The scholar corrected the feng shui together.
Jia Cong was startled when he heard the name Qiu Liang. He was from the original novel! He asked, "Master Qiu, did you ever serve as the commander of the Five Cities Army and Horse Division in the capital?"
"That's right." Qiu Liang looked at him and said, "In the early years, there was a big thief in the capital named Robin Hood. Do you know?"
Jia Cong said: "I know, he specializes in stealing rich slaves."
Qiu Liang said: "After Robin Hood committed the crime, I led the people to investigate carefully. Not long after, I got some clues and reported them to the superiors. Unexpectedly, the superiors ordered me to leave him alone."
"Huh?" Jia Cong said enthusiastically, "Why?"
Qiu Liang stared at him and said, "I didn't care anymore. King Xian suddenly sent someone to our house, saying that the saint wanted to change my place of business. A few days later, Zhao Cheng was replaced to take charge of the Five Cities Military and Horse Department."
Jia Cong thought: "I'm not afraid that your investigation will be unfavorable, but I'm afraid that you will investigate too clearly. Could it be that Robin Hood is from the imperial court?"
"That's not true." Qiu Liang still stared at him, "Later I found out that although Robin Hood was not a member of the imperial court, the money he stole went into the treasury."
Jia Cong curled his lips and said: "It's not like he is from the imperial court! At most, he doesn't know how to get his salary." Qiu Liang smiled and said nothing, not sure whether he knew that Jia She was Robin Hood. Jia Cong changed the topic, "
So, Jingtian Houfu belongs to the King of Shu."
Qiu Liang said: "The King of Shu is a wise ruler." Because he asked him, "Did you say someone dug a tunnel in the palace of the King of Shu?"
"Well." Jia Cong said, "Let's start in the prince's room first." Qiu Liang was surprised. Jia Cong paused and continued, "The second is the prince's inner study, the room where the weapons are hidden, and the room where the military books are kept.
, the other rooms that I most often go to alone. The original purpose of digging the tunnel was to avoid the guards and get directly to the place where the prince is alone. It is naturally best."
Qiu Liang thought for a while: "That makes sense."
Then he led a group of soldiers to the King of Shu's house first. Jia Cong said: "To move the furniture, first dig under the bed, under the large case and under the cabinet."
The soldiers hurriedly evacuated the house and pried open the bricks from the ground one by one. When they pried under the bed, some of them could not be pried. Qiu Liang ordered to pry around first. After the rest were pried, there was no need to guess.
The twelve green bricks connected in a square shape were replaced at some point. Now they are a whole large stone slab, with the twelve bricks still on the surface. Jia Cong's eyes widened: "
Wow~~I guessed so accurately!"
Qiu Liang then ordered people to pry it open carefully. Two strong soldiers tried hard for a long time but they couldn't move at all! Jia Cong said hurriedly: "I'm afraid there is a trap."
Qiu Liang called a craftsman who was following him who was good at making mechanisms to come and take a look. The man knocked for a long time and said: "The bottom is really empty. You can't see what is hanging the stone slab from the outside."
Qiu Liang hummed: "Get a big hammer and smash it for me!"
The man below responded, and soon he got a big hammer and banged it for a long time. The bluestone shattered. Hearing a "crash" sound, Jia Cong clapped his hands and said, "It's the sound of iron locks!" on the ground.
A hole was revealed, and a rope ladder was clearly visible inside.
Qiu Liangnai ordered people to go down, but Jia Cong hurriedly stopped him, "I'm afraid there is a trap, so let's test it with live animals first."
Qiu Liang then asked two geese and two dogs to be brought down first. After a long time, the sound of geese and dogs barking was heard. Hearing that nothing happened, he lit a torch and sent the craftsman to lead a dozen soldiers down first.
After half an hour, the craftsmen and soldiers came back, wiping cold sweat and saying: "...Sir... the work below has not yet been completed... there are many tunnels... and there are other things..."
Although he originally came to look for him because he knew there was a way out, when he saw him like this, Qiu Liang broke out in a cold sweat and said, "Take me down!"
Jia Cong originally had no intention of going to the fields, but when he heard that it was not yet completed, he became emboldened: "I'll go too!"
Qiu Liang glanced at him: "Follow me."
"Uh-huh!"
After walking around for a while, Jia Cong's hair stood on end! Is he wearing a dream of Red Mansions or a ghost blowing lantern?! Young men and women, and various weird incorruptible corpses made by children, placed a pair of them at some distance apart.
It penetrated people's bones. He had watched many horror movies in his previous life, and had killed people in this life, but he was still frightened by such a situation. Fortunately, others were also frightened, and no one paid attention to him. Jia Cong thought to himself, I won't encourage him at this time.
When should superstition be advocated? He asked the craftsman: "Are there any young women who have been harmed by mercury?"
The craftsman said: "There are about ten women who have been harmed by mercury. The villains have not yet completed their journey."
Jia Cong said to himself: "I don't know who it is."
Qiu Liangben was also panicked. After hearing this, he quickly asked: "What does Mr. Jia know?"
Jia Cong said: "There is something, it seems now, I'm afraid... that's all, let's go up and see the prince and talk about it." He sighed, "Such vicious tricks can arrest people's souls and cut off their path to reincarnation. How can I get it?"
What’s the benefit?”
The tunnel was already scary enough, but after hearing his threats, even the brave men began to tremble. Jia Cong hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid! They are all trapped in the corpses and cannot move. What a pity, they are all children."
.Hurry and report to the prince for saving them, we have all done a great good deed!"
Qiu Liang had doubts about whether he was Nezha before, but now he was completely convinced! He quickly said: "Mr. Jia's words are right! We are doing good deeds!" The soldiers all bravely answered "yes".
The group of people hurriedly evacuated. Jia Cong thought that he was being a hero, so he let others go up first and stayed behind himself. Qiu Liang thought that he was a brave man because of his skill, so he was not polite to him and seriously led others up first.
Jia Cong was the last one to crawl out of the tunnel. Everyone was breathing heavily.
After resting for a while, Qiu Liang ordered a few soldiers to guard the door, and rushed to see the King of Shu together with Jia Cong and the craftsman. Because it was the first day of excavation, the King of Shu was also very anxious. When he saw them coming, he hurriedly asked
How? Qiu Liang told what he had just seen, and the King of Shu was so frightened that his whole body became cold.
Everyone looked at Jia Cong, and Jia Cong sighed softly and said: "Your Majesty, I originally came to Shu to visit the mountains and rivers, but it has no purpose." In his early years in Beijing, the King of Shu heard him say that he wanted to travel.
Yes, nodded. He continued, "A few days ago, I was going to Nanping to look for Jiuzhaigou. I saw a girl flashing from a distance. Because she seemed to be wearing silver clothes, which floated like running water.
, I haven’t seen it before! I was curious, so I followed her on another road. She walked and I rode a horse, but I couldn’t catch up with her.” The whole room couldn’t help but shudder.
Jia Cong sighed again: "After driving for a long time, I didn't see anyone. I was also hungry. It happened that there was a small town not far ahead, so I went to the town to hit the tip." He looked at the King of Shu and said, "Because I heard
A few casual remarks about a piece of gossip, which exposed the thoughts of others, almost to the point of being silenced."
King Shu asked: "Is he the old man who committed suicide?"
"That's right." Jia Cong said, "Just now in that tunnel, I suddenly figured out that the person who led me that way that day was probably..." Although he didn't say it clearly, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
The King of Shu hurriedly asked: "What are those corpses?"
Jia Cong said: "I don't know. After death, people should be led by ghosts to reincarnate, and the souls of the corpses are trapped in the corpses and cannot escape. I don't understand these spells, but I know that when the jar is broken, the water
Then they flowed out. Burn all the corpses, and then ask eminent monks to save them, and then they can be saved from the sea of suffering and reincarnated."
The King of Shu suddenly broke out in a sweat when he thought that he had been sleeping on a pile of zombies and innocent souls for several years, and immediately ordered Qiu Liang to ask for a mage.
Jia Cong said again: "You can just do it in secret. Those innocent souls have been trapped for a long time. It would be better if they were released early so that they could be reincarnated as human beings as soon as possible. It is not necessary to have a great place for salvation. It is enough to have three or five eminent monks. Your Majesty, this matter still needs to be done."
Don't let outsiders know about it, or it may cause chaos among the people."
Qiu Liang also said: "It's true. It's great that the people know about it."
The King of Shu had been fighting for many years and had committed many crimes, so he was very willing to do such a good deed. After thinking about it for a long time, he agreed.
The corpses in the tunnel were cleared out on the first day, and a coffin was given to each person. Qiu Liang personally escorted them to the Tiexiang Temple in the south of the city, and asked the abbot master to lead dozens of monks in reciting sutras for salvation, and burned them one by one to ashes. Jia Xu followed Qiu Liang secretly.
. Seeing that the coffins were burning, he hurried back to the city. Their inn was already very close to the temporary King of Shu's palace. Jia Cong had changed his clothes early, and when his uncle came back, he rushed to see the King of Shu.
While he was talking happily, Jia Cong suddenly raised his head and stared into the sky. The King of Shu was startled. Jia Cong's eyes wandered in the air for a long time, then he nodded slowly with a smile and said to the King of Shu: "Young men and women and young children are planning to do this."
Seventy-seven forty-nine people have just bowed three times to the prince and passed away."
The King of Shu immediately relaxed and couldn't help but laugh: "Have I done anything?"
Suddenly Qiu Liang came back to resume his life, and the King of Shu asked him carefully. Sure enough, there were forty-nine people, and the souls bowed down shortly after the coffin was burned. The King of Shu felt relieved, and proudly told him about the souls coming to worship. Jia
Cong's status as a magic stick was completely confirmed in the Shu Kingdom.
Qiu Liang bowed down and said, "My lord is benevolent and sage!"
The King of Shu said sternly: "We must find out who did this evil thing!"
"As you command!"
In the next few days, Qiu Liang led people to carefully inspect the tunnel. This tunnel had six exits in the King of Shu's Mansion, one under the King's bed, the outer study, the inner study, the small wing next to the main hall, the kitchen and the stable. Eavesdropping,
It's easy to assassinate, poison, and torture your mount. There is another exit leading to a house outside the house, which belongs to a foreign merchant. Qiu Liang's people dug out the tunnel and only caught two old couples who were looking after the house.
Asked, the two of them were hired here just yesterday to look at the house! They searched the house carefully. The house is not small, and there are many things piled in the warehouse, including stone, wood, and ironware. There are still many mechanisms in the tunnel.
Not finished yet!
Hearing this, Jia Cong clapped his hands and said, "How cautious! As soon as the prince said he wanted to change the feng shui of the mansion, they immediately hid."
Qiu Liang said: "I just don't understand, since the repairs haven't been completed yet, how could those corpses be put in? Aren't the craftsmen who went to repair the tunnels scared?"
"I don't know." Jia Cong said, "If everything is not guaranteed, there is no place to put it?" Qiu Liang rolled his eyes at him. Jia Cong smiled and said, "What happens next is up to you! Mr. Qiu, you have been working in the Five Cities Military and Horse Division for many years.
Commander, he is always good at investigating cases. Who do you think he is?"
Qiu Liang said: "You can't guess without evidence."
He immediately began to check the house. Unexpectedly, the neighbors said that no one lived there for some time! He searched everywhere but could not find out who the owner was.
Qiu Liang was having a headache when someone came to the inn to see Mr. Jia. Jia Cong went out and saw that it was Mr. Guo. Naiqi asked: "How did Mr. Guo find this place?"
Mr. Guo smiled and said, "Mr. Jia doesn't live in the Shu Palace, but he lives in an inn. Aren't you waiting for me?"
"Uh...you're overthinking." Jia Cong twitched his lips and said, "It's too troublesome to live in Prince Shu's Mansion. I'm at ease." He asked him to go to the yard and sit under the hibiscus tree.
Mr. Guo asked: "May I ask the Jia escort who followed Mr. Jia?"
Jia Cong said: "Hey, are you here to find him?"
Mr. Guo waved his hand and said, "No. I'm here to see Mr. Jia. I just want to have a few words with Mr. Jia."
Jia Cong turned around and shouted: "Uncle Wu~~" and then said to Mr. Guo, "His name is Jia Wu. This name is probably not his real name. Why should he be serious when he comes out to fool around?"
Mr. Guo nodded repeatedly: "Very true."
Jia Xu walked out slowly. Jia Cong grinned at him and went into the house.
Mr. Guo bowed deeply to Jia Xu and said, "Thank you sir for your advice that day."
Jia Xu sighed and said, "You understand better." He shook his head and stopped talking.
Mr. Guo also sighed: "I have been a fool for thirty-four years in vain."
Jia Xu asked: "You came to Chengdu to find us?"
Mr. Guo said: "The girl from the Yuan family said you were coming to Chengdu, so I guessed that she was reporting for the King of Shu. Since Mr. Jia is a member of the Supreme Emperor, how could he come to report for the King of Shu?"
Jia Xu looked at him twice: "I said that day, once the emperor and the court ministers, didn't Mr. Guo hear?" Mr. Guo was stunned. Jia Xu shook his head again, "The reason why Guo Sanshui was loyal to Guo Shu to death is because
Guo Shu valued him and trusted him, and treated him differently from others. If everyone in the world only recognized one master," a trace of ridicule appeared on his face, "wouldn't most of them starve to death? How many places would belong to the emperor?
The Emperor gave me a salary that day, so I naturally sacrificed my life for him." He looked up at the sky and said, "I never heard that risking my own life to avenge my master, I also risked my son's life. Guo Sanshui's temper is weird.
A little more."
Mr. Guo was silent for a long time and asked: "Master Jia, maybe you are sure that the King of Shu did not kill Guo Shuman's family?"
Jia Xu said decisively: "It is possible for many people, except King Shu and Prince Yizhong."
Mr. Guo looked hesitant again. Jia Xu didn't rush him and just waited aside. After a long time, Mr. Guo said: "I heard on the street these days that the Prince of Shu's palace is undergoing a lot of construction. I think they are looking for an underground tunnel?"
"We have found it a long time ago," Jia Xu said, "and found a house connected to the tunnel. However, no one lives in the house all year round, and the warehouse is full of earth and stone materials. The tunnel has not yet been completed. Now the King of Shu is thinking about whether to use the house
Dig too."
"No." Mr. Guo said, "The lower part of the Shu Prince's Mansion has not yet been completed, but the house has been completed a long time ago. If we dig randomly and touch the mechanism, what will happen?"
Jia Xu hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Please give me some advice from Mr. Guo!" (..)
