It was said that Jia Xu took Jin Yiwei's badge to see Ding Wangji's adoptive mother. The old lady laughed for a long time and said, "Did Liu Qianhu find any clues?"
Jia Xu said: "We found many clues, but we couldn't find the real culprit behind the scenes."
The old lady said with a smile: "No need to look any further. I killed Guo Shu."
Jia Xu sighed: "As expected, I guessed it when I saw Mr. Ding Wangji. Mr. Guo has been a romantic man for a long time, but he will eventually be a beauty."
The old lady sneered: "Liu Qianhu, guess who the poor nun is?"
Jia Xu said: "The Sixth Prince's spy, Mr. Guo's concubine."
The old lady was startled, and suddenly stepped forward and slapped Jia Xu on the ear. Jia Xu had no time to stop her, so she hit her hard. The old lady burst out laughing loudly, and her laughter was horrifying. Jia Xu frowned. The old lady laughed. She burst into tears: "It's true that only bystanders know. After more than 40 years, someone has told the truth. I am a concubine."
Jia Xu cupped his hands and said, "If you offend me, I still hope to see Haihan."
The old lady stayed in a daze for a long time, then waved her hand and said, "Go ahead." She turned around to leave.
"Master, please wait a moment." Jia Xu walked around to her.
The old lady laughed and said, "Liu Qianhu still wants to arrest the poor nun and bring him to justice, but he can't?"
"No. I have something to give back to my wife." Jia Xu raised his hand and slapped her ear in return. The old lady was stunned.
The sister-in-law holding the lantern shouted: "Bold!"
Jia Xu smiled and said, "That's it." He turned around and climbed up the tree nimbly, then jumped over the wall in a grand manner.
When he was riding on the wall, he heard the sister-in-law shouting: "There is an assassin—catch the assassin—" and he stumbled and fell down. The patrol team rushed over quickly, and there was a chaos, and all the trees in the temple were searched. After all, Liu Qianhu was not caught. The old lady scolded her so fiercely and in all kinds of ways without using any curse words that Jia Xu couldn't help but want to say hello to her.
When the old lady and sister-in-law came back to the house, they heard the maid say: "Master, don't talk nonsense with that assassin just now. Just call the soldiers to come. The people in Jinyiwei who can be a member of thousands of families have some means, why bother." The words were not heard. Luo, already received a scratch on the face.
The old lady said fiercely: "How brave! You eavesdropped on me."
The maid quickly lowered her head and said, "I'm afraid Master is not safe."
The old lady stared at her: "Check, find out that Liu Quan just now."
The maid endured the pain and advised: "The Emperor's people have long since fallen and dispersed, and those thousands of households will not be able to make any trouble."
The old lady praised the Buddha: "He dared to beat the poor nun, and the poor nun wanted his life to pay for it."
The maid lowered her head and said "yes", and then said: "Our girl asked if the strategy needs to be changed."
"constant."
The maid then said goodbye and left.
After a while, the old lady sat in front of the case and played the harp again. The sound suddenly started to sound murderous and full of rage. Jia Xu felt as if he was on a battlefield, fighting on all sides with swords and axes, but the enemy soldiers in front of him were like locusts, fighting with all their strength. Even with all his strength, he couldn't kill all the people. He didn't know how long it took, but the sound of the piano suddenly stopped. Jia Xu suddenly felt that he had broken out in a hot sweat, and then broke out in a cold sweat. But he heard the old lady shouting sharply: "Ah ————"The arrival of an evil ghost in this world is as miserable as ever.
Back at the inn, Yuan Shikai had gone to bed early. Jia Xu called the three young people to explain the story in detail, and sighed: "The old lady's piano is really amazing, it can be said to be a unique skill."
Jia Cong said: "It's not just a unique skill, it's a magical skill! You are not easily influenced, and you are disturbed by the sound of her piano. It's just that this kind of person is the easiest to get into trouble. You are always free, why do you expose others?" She has become a sister-in-law."
Jia Xu looked helpless: "This matter was really not intentional. She must be in her fifties or sixties. The other women have never had as many experiences as she has in their lifetimes. Who would have thought that she would still look away." After a pause. , added, "Isn't she a mistress in the eyes of ordinary people..."
"Silence, silence!" Jia Cong yawned, "You don't fall in love in silence, you become perverted in silence. People say that one learns from one's mistakes. This old lady must have suffered the consequences of seizing her direct descendants for her whole life. She actually And he came here to interfere with us and seize the direct descendants."
Jia Xu hummed, "Such a fierce and decisive woman, the King of Shu would not dare to reuse her; her son's biological father had a grudge against the King of Shu to kill his son, and Ding Wangji would not reuse her. A counselor can work until death." You can't get ahead even if you follow the crown prince, and the person Guo Shu killed was the crown prince's biological brother from the same mother."
Jia Cong said: "With her and Ding Wangji's status, they should take advantage of the division of the world to join other families and write off the past."
Chen Ruijin said: "Ding Wangji might not even know his identity. Otherwise, why would he still stay in Shu?"
Jia Cong clicked his tongue twice: "The King of Shu and his sons should know it, but he himself doesn't know it. He is already so old, and if you don't tell him such an important thing, sooner or later it will affect his judgment of the situation. Old lady The maid who is following her now dares to teach her a lesson, and obviously does not take her seriously. Fifth uncle, that old lady wants to kill you."
Jia Xu twisted a piece of mung bean cake and put it into his mouth, swallowed it and then said: "She can kill a concubine. This mung bean cake is good, better than the ones in Beijing." The young man laughed. Then they dispersed and went back to each other. The house is resting.
Jia Cong finished packing and ran to Chen Ruijin's room to say good night. Chen Ruijin knew he would come, and the door was ajar. Jia Cong pushed the door open and entered, and happened to see a picture of a candlelight beauty, and couldn't help but whistle.
Chen Ruijin was sitting in front of the window thinking about something, and glanced at him: "Do you look down on that sister-in-law?"
"No, I think she is very good." Seeing that she had no intention of chasing away guests, Jia Cong took advantage of the situation and sat down opposite. "It is extremely difficult to reach the top of anything. She plays the piano so well. , this one alone is amazing.”
Chen Ruijin said: "Just now, the fifth master said that the girl could only kill her concubine, but I don't think so. This woman feels that her fate is unfair, and her son has failed to find his talent. This time she is so determined to capture you for her master, but she completely guessed that your Thoughts: If you keep failing, I'm afraid something unpreventable will happen."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "We have experienced a lot, why are we still afraid of her? It's eight or nine o'clock in the morning and the sun is almost setting."
Chen Ruijin said: "I always feel a little uneasy."
Jia Cong believed most that one of his own would be uneasy for no reason, so he hurriedly said: "Then let's pay more attention." Then he said angrily, "I should have brought more people here."
Chen Ruijin said: "That's all, it's useless to think about it. Just go to sleep."
"Well, good night." Jia Cong stepped forward, picked up the back of her hand, kissed it, and said seriously, "This is the etiquette of a Western knight paying tribute to his sweetheart." He stood up and walked away like a normal person. He slipped back into his room steadily, and fell asleep. Smiling sullenly on the bed, Chen Ruijin also pretended to be fine. Hearing the door of the next room close, he gently raised the back of his hand and looked at it for a long time, then brought it to his lips and kissed it quietly, his face turned red.
The next few days were uneventful. Jia Cong still went to work at the Yamen, and the woman next door still played the piano from time to time. Jia Xu invited someone to eat noodles at night and frightened him. The man was indeed honest. Jia Cong felt that he was alone. Intimidation and inducement are not enough, you have to brainwash people like spreading religion. And you have to find a powerful symbolic totem.
He thought for a while and found that no merchant these days could compare to "Red Bones". So he discussed with Liu Feng to sublimate the name "Hi Claw" into a magical savior-like leader, and named him "hydra". "This seemingly high-ranking foreign name has been re-created as a character. Of course, the more legendary the better, and there is no need to pay taxes for bragging. The legendary stories of Hydra's enemies in the Marvel world in the future can be used as gifts to this book. The hydra himself of time and space.
Jia Xu just listened at first, but later seeing that they were getting more and more unreasonable, he shook his head and said: "Who would believe this? At least it has something to do with it."
Jia Cong said: "Fifth uncle, the more outrageous it is, the more people will believe it! Fang Xiong is a person, right? He even believes that digging a tunnel under the Prince of Shu's palace and letting people die can consume the dragon's energy. It is not easy for ordinary people to believe in a god! And that The Taoist priest didn't help Fang Xiong succeed. We helped the owner of the antique shop kill his brother-in-law. By the way, we have to arrange some mysterious things. The more mysterious something is, the more people will believe it." Jia Xu ignored him.
A few days later, Gong Sanyi's reply arrived in Chengdu. When everyone saw it, not only was it as expected, but it was even more outrageous.
The old aunt was originally the aunt of Ding Chengwu, the former governor of the capital camp, and the daughter of Ding's father. She was pampered at home since she was a child. She grew up to be smart and beautiful. At that time, she was also the envy of everyone in the capital. She once won the title of emperor and empress. He praised her personally. Everyone knew that this woman was 90% destined to enter the prince's palace. The sixth prince accidentally heard her playing the piano and managed to see her true appearance. He fell in love with her at first sight and asked the late emperor for this woman. The late emperor did not He agreed and sent her to fight at the border; before leaving, the sixth prince wrote a love poem to her. Therefore, the late emperor thought that this girl was a beauty and a disaster, and was afraid of causing discord among the brothers, so he ordered the prince not to have her. The prince could not have her. , the Sixth Prince could not give her, so how could an ordinary person dare to ask her to marry her? Ding was embarrassed for a moment.
However, the Ding family was dominated by the prince. Soon, the prince was deposed as Prince Yi Zhong, and the third prince ascended the throne. Later, Guo Shu was born, and Prince Yi Zhong ordered the Ding family to marry him as the Ding family in order to win over him. Guo Shu's family had a wife and children, and Ding initially disguised herself as a crown prince and had an affair with him. After she became pregnant with Ding Wangji, Guo Shu originally intended to take her as his concubine, but when she explained her family background, Guo Shu was stunned.
Naturally, the Ding family could not be a concubine due to her status; Guo Shu was unwilling to divorce his wife, so he and the prince talked behind closed doors for half a day, but no one knew what they said. Prince Yi Zhong sighed deeply and told the Ding family: "A wife of wretched grain will not go to court." "Let Miss Ding have the baby." The Ding family refused, and after haggling for a long time, Ding was willing to join the family as a child. Guo Shu refused again, saying that her status was too high and her wife at home could not hold her down. Ding went there in person. The Guo family looked for him, but he was nowhere to be seen. He only ordered an old servant to come out and say four words: "There is no fate in this life."
Ding was very affectionate and could not bear to have the baby, so she raised Ding Wangji in a nunnery. When Guo Shu found out, he felt pity for her, and the two began to have an affair again, and they were even more kind than before. The Ding family thought that they had a baby. This son also has the power of their family, and Guo Shu has never broken up with the Ding family. It is only a matter of time for the Ding family to take over the Guo family. In the end, Prince Yi Zhong was defeated, but Guo Shu was the third son. Until After everyone in the Ding family was slaughtered, Ding finally understood what the words "no fate in this life" meant. Later, Ding disappeared from the nunnery inexplicably, and Gong San also didn't know where he went.
After reading this letter, Jia Cong felt a chill in his back: "What a great acting skill this Guo Shu has! Playing with Prince Yizhong's line is like playing with mud. Even our old man Gong was coaxed. No wonder his son is also everywhere Having an affair is just a change from a famous lady from the capital to a country girl from the countryside. Just like what the old lady said, the tree bears the same fruit."
Jia Xu said: "Sentiment often leads to ruthlessness. Most people in the world cannot see through this truth."
Jia Cong said: "Not entirely. My second brother Lian is passionate but not ruthless. He is a beautiful woman. He means it sincerely." Just after he finished speaking, he wanted to bite his tongue - Jia Lian had teased his fifth aunt in the early years. Xu didn't know. He quickly pulled up another person to support her: "Brother Baoyu is also really good to the beautiful woman. It's just that he only dares to commit suicide and refuses to do anything."
"The two of them are just ordinary dudes, how can they compare with Guo Shu?" Jia Xu read Gong Sanyi's letter again and said, "This old man Zhan is also a person, hiding behind his brother without even a trace. .We missed him when we were searching for the remnants of Prince Yoichi."
Jia Cong laughed and asked Liu Feng and Chen Ruijin what they thought.
Chen Ruijin said: "A few days ago, I saw that the maid was rude to Ding, and I thought that the son of the King of Shu whom Ding took refuge in was not a master of courtesy and virtuousness. Now it seems that is not necessarily the case. After Ding took refuge with the Sixth Prince, he could not protect himself from having an affair with him. .”
Jia Cong said: "The words "incomplete guarantee" can be deleted.
Chen Ruijin said: "If Mrs. Ding is the mistress of the Sixth Prince, it would not be surprising to follow her to the Kingdom of Shu. With her status, she can still live like a fish in the nunnery. Most ordinary women will look down on her - even though she is a maid."
Liu Feng nodded and said: "The people who are willing to use her don't have many talents at hand, and they don't care much about their status or status."
Jia Cong said: "People who don't show off their face are more likely to succeed."
But at this moment, there were soldiers outside to report, and Mr. Ding asked to see him. Jia Cong touched his nose: "I don't know how to feel about meeting him." He invited him to the study.
Not long after, Ding Wangji came in to meet each other. The two of them bowed to each other, and Chen Ruijin came in with tea. Ding Wangji said, "I heard that Mr. Jia is always outspoken."
Jia Cong said: "Not bad."
"May I ask who the bodyguard Mr. Jia is accompanying is?"
"Uncle Wu?" Jia Cong said, "He's the bodyguard! Our Taiping Bodyguard Agency's name is Jia Wu."
Ding Wangji immediately said: "I heard that there is a big shopkeeper in your house named Jia Si, who is the father of Mr. Jarvis. May I ask about this bodyguard Jia Wu?"
Jia Cong said: "The name Jia Wu is obviously not the real name. Why ask so clearly? Everyone has a past."
Ding Wangji glanced at him: "If there is an origin, wouldn't Mr. Jia find out about it?"
Jia Cong said: "If I really want to ask, my fifth uncle will tell me. It's just that I don't want to know."
Ding Wangji looked at him in surprise, and after a while he said, "Mr. Jia is so kind-hearted."
Jia Cong said unceremoniously: "I think so too."
Ding Wangji smiled and said, "Mr. Jia seems to be different from the rumors." He stood up and left. Jia Cong felt a little strange, but couldn't tell what was wrong, so he walked him to the door personally.
After returning, Chen Ruijin said curiously: "I saw that he seemed to have a lot to say when he came in. Why did he leave so suddenly?"
"I feel weird too." Jia Cong touched the back of his head. (.. )
