The Ding family had an affair with the king of the nearby mountain, and the King of Shu was furious. As Jia Cong guessed, Ding Wangji was confused and didn't know everything. As for the reason why the Ding family wanted to kill Qiu Liang and Jia Cong, Jia Cong had already He thought about it for him, in order to pave the way for Ding Wangji. The King of Shu lost his face and was so angry that he couldn't eat. But he didn't take it out on Ding's body, but ordered Ding Wangji to be buried alive. The prince sent someone to tell him quietly. After seeing Jia Cong, Jia Cong smiled and said to Jia Xu: "The King of Shu is quite sentimental, better than those violent and cruel masters."
Jia Xu said: "The most important thing for a superior person is not to be sentimental."
Jia Cong shrugged and looked for Zhenming again to inquire: "Does Zhenyuan know Chen Yi of Qi State?"
Zhen Ming said: "He recognizes Chen Yi, but Chen Yi doesn't recognize him."
"Does Master Tian recognize Duke Qi? Do they have any friendship with him?"
Zhenming sighed softly and said: "All the four princes and princes of our generation recognize him and have some friendship with him. Chen Yi and your grandfather both have a close friendship with him."
Jia Cong nodded and asked again: "Is Zhenyuan's surname Wen? The one who hears the chicken dance?"
Zhen Ming asked curiously: "How did you guess this?" Looking at his expression, Jia Cong knew that he had guessed it right, and he laughed twice and ran away.
Liu Feng also came that evening, and several people gathered together to discuss speculations. Jia Cong first said: "Let me think about it a little bit. According to what Taoist Master Qingxiao who has followed Zhenyuan for eight years said, Zhenyuan seems to be different. Like a member of the Fang family. Fang Yong immediately heard that Yong Mian was the junior of his lay family. Zhenyuan had already ignored secular things. At the end of the last year, he received a letter from my great uncle, a monk. My great uncle was worried that I was too capable. , I am afraid that I am determined to be independent; I don’t know which prince I will help. Because I specifically support sending troops overseas, the King of Shu happens to be sending troops overseas. So let Zhenyuan pay attention to whether I will come to Shu. What a coincidence, I’m coming this year.”
He then took a break to drink tea, and Liu Feng continued: "As soon as the third master arrived in Shu, he found out that Fang Xiong had evil intentions. When Zhenyuan heard about it, he went down the mountain. For one thing, he knew that Wen Yong was following Fang Xiong. I was worried that something might happen to him; on the other hand, I also wanted to take the opportunity to help Master Yiseng check out the third master’s thoughts. This is what Qingxiao said, Zhenyuan went down the mountain for the first time this year. He contacted Wen Yong in Chengdu , Xuancheng met Xuancheng during this trip. Xuancheng should have been specially selected by Wen Yong, Ding Wangji and the rest of the Fang family to win over Zhenyuan - he is a Taoist priest with strong martial arts, and it is easier than others to win over Zhenyuan. At that time, Ding Wangji and others did not know that Zhenyuan was related to the late emperor, otherwise they would not dare to attack him so boldly. Fang Xiong is a traitor after all."
Jia Cong went on to say: "Later, Xuancheng went to Wuming Temple to seek refuge with Taoist Master Zhenyuan, just to win over him further, but he failed - can you expect a traitor to win over his brother to the late emperor's secret agent? But Xuancheng also spied on him. When they came out, Zhenyuan was quite worried about whether Jia Cong would be able to stand on his own feet. At this time, they still didn't know Zhenyuan's identity, although they were also suspicious of why he, an ordinary Taoist priest, was worried about the affairs of the country. Then Ding Wangji glanced at him. After seeing that Sister Chen and I were in love, I didn't know what the idea was. Either Xuancheng or Wen Yong - he must have changed his name to Fang Yong at this time - deceived Zhenyuan and went down the mountain to beat him. Is it a cover? It's probably to test my ambitions. But I can't figure it out. Zhenyuan is a secret agent of the imperial court in the guise of a thief. He is deeply trusted by the late emperor and even has a gold medal! As a thief with a name in history, he must have Self-respecting. Just because of the idea of 'testing Jia Cong to see if he has the will to be independent', he actually agreed to do something like kidnapping a girl to lose points. There are many ways to test me, why use this one? Earlier they I have done everything, it was because of orders from above. Ding Wangji and Fang Yong are both from the traitor side, so it is impossible for them to give orders that far away."
Liu Feng thought for a long time: "I can't guess."
Jia Xu thought for a long time: "I can't think of it."
Chen Ruijin thought for a long time: "No reason."
Lu Sangu also said: "I don't know."
Several people had been frowning for a long time. Zhenming outside the window finally couldn't hold it in any longer and coughed. Jia Cong was startled and trembled: "Oh, uncle! What do you always do? It's scary."
Zhenming was silent for a moment, and then asked through the window: "Is it true that your family's Yushanzi given by the late emperor was lost?"
Jia Cong said aggrievedly: "That was lost by your historians!"
Zhenming snorted: "Jia She and you are both naughty guys. Even if such an important thing is lost, we will definitely get it back."
Jia Cong spread his hands and said, "It's not like we are good at pinching and calculating! Why don't you always help me look for it? You are veterans now."
Zhenming was silent for another moment and said, "It's just no use." There was a sound of footsteps and he went back to the house.
Jia Cong and others looked at each other for a while, and Jia Xu looked at his wife and smiled.
Liu Feng also smiled, but there was no laughter in his words: "I'm afraid Yushanzi is something important. King Yan mentioned it last time, and it was also very important. Zhenyuan probably wanted to exchange Miss Chen for Yushan. Son, then trade Yu Shanzi with King Yan for Tian Qi’s free life."
Chen Ruijin said: "It's just that when I looked at his expression, it was obvious that he had changed his mind."
Jia Cong held his cheek and said: "He changed his mind when he heard that you were the granddaughter of Chen Yi, Duke of Qi, but he still locked you up in Qingniu Palace. What's the difference between you being from Qi State and not? Tian Qi and Chen Yi friendship?"
Jia Xu said: "That's not the point. There is a big difference between Chen Yatou not being a spy and being a spy. If you are not a spy, you can be a spy, but if you are a spy, it is hard to say. Most of the spies have some shortcomings in the master's hands, and they turn other spies into their own spies. It’s extremely difficult.”
"Oh~~" Jia Cong said, "In addition to wanting Yushanzi, Zhenyuan also wants to recruit Sister Chen to be his own spy so that he can monitor me and the Jia family." He clapped his hands and said, "This makes sense. He Does Ding Wangji know this?"
Liu Feng said: "Ding Wangji lost his son, so he led the third master to the Wuming Temple in Qingcheng Mountain. It seems that he thought Miss Chen was there." He smiled and said, "Fang Xiong's brother, Taoist Priest Xuancheng, is also a capable person, but he He has been staying in Wumingguan. Couldn't he be used elsewhere? I'm afraid that Ding Wangji's plan is to lure Zhenyuan to kidnap Miss Chen, and then he will try to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Xuancheng, who stayed in Wumingguan, can find Miss Chen. Take her away quietly. He pinched Miss Chen on his own hand, and things were much easier to handle."
Jia Cong said: "Aren't you afraid that I will turn Chengdu over?"
Liu Feng said: "Didn't Third Master guess that Guo Sanshui helped him build the tunnel? It's just that their martial arts skills are poor, so they have to borrow the power of Zhenyuan." Jia Cong nodded. He took a sip of tea and continued, "Qing Xiao said that Zhenyuan went back to Wuming Temple the day before the attack. I guess that Zhenyuan was fooled by Fang Yong at first, or he thought he was more capable and didn't take them seriously, so he planned to catch Miss Chen and send her away. Back to the temple. When the action was about to begin, Fang Yong or Ding Wangji missed something that made him suspicious. So he returned to the temple to get the gold medal, contacted Qingyang Palace, and hid Miss Chen there instead."
Jia Cong said: "Ding Wangji, Xuancheng and others knew nothing about Qingyang Palace. The day after Sister Chen was captured, I immediately found Ding Wangji. At that time, Zhenyuan was still in the Ding family. Ding Wang Ji Te tested me and told Zhenyuan to please him. Later, the fifth uncle captured Ding Wangji's two sons. He had no choice but to temporarily abandon the plan and lead us to Wuming Temple to exchange our sons. I never thought about Wuming Temple. Even after they were demolished, Sister Chen was not seen. After this, Zhenyuan and Ding Wangji must have had internal conflicts, because Zhenyuan was unwilling to hand over Sister Chen, and he never paid attention to Ding Wangji's son."
Liu Feng said: "None of them expected that Taoist priest Liao Shouping would deliver a message for Miss Chen. This was the biggest surprise. Once Miss Chen escapes from danger, she will definitely die."
Jia Cong said: "Not necessarily. Zhenyuan's force is worth crushing, so it can be used."
Liu Feng asked: "The confession presided over by Qingyang Palace shows that Ding Wang is a close aide to the King of Shu. There is a gold medal given by the late emperor in Zhenyuan, which is obviously from the imperial court. He and Fang Yong want to get the gold medal that Fang Xiong copied from the capital.
To find the treasure, and to control the remaining members of the Fang family, we must rescue the Fang family’s women and children. To them, Zhenyuan is a Frankenstein and cannot be controlled."
Jia Cong stretched out his hand to take the snack and paused, feeling a strange sense of time travel, and shouted: "Hey! This analogy is wrong!"
"Okay, then let's use the double-edged sword." Liu Feng said casually, "It looks like an old Taoist priest who has escaped from the world, but in fact he is an old green forest in the wind, thunder and rain, and in the end he is a secret agent of the Tian family! Such people are only briefly deceived by them at first.
How long can their ideas and deeds fool Zhenyuan? If Zhenyuan lives in Shu, even if he doesn't look for their faults, if Zhenyuan notices their evil intentions, he will definitely take action to destroy them. Zhenyuan is not dead.
No. It’s just that they didn’t have the ability to kill Zhenyuan, so Fang Yong came to find Third Master and sold him, and used Third Master’s help to get rid of Zhenyuan.”
Jia Cong let out a long breath, thought about it from the beginning, and said: "That's probably it." After thinking for a while, "It's understandable that they want to kill me. Since I came to Shu, every time
To mess up their situation, don't get rid of Ansheng. Where is Qiu Liang? There is no reason why Qiu Liang must get rid of him. If you dislike him for blocking the road, you were blocking the road earlier, why didn't you touch him? "
Jia Xu said with a smile: "Master Qiu has not solved any of the important cases this year. If it were me, I would not kill him. Keeping them shows that I am capable."
Liu Feng's eyes flashed: "Although Mr. Qiu has not solved the case, he has never been idle. He has solved several old cases while tracking down the remaining members of the Fang family. The Ding family, Ding Wangji, mother and son have done a lot of shameful things, so it is impossible to protect them all.
It also made him poke."
Jia Cong rubbed his neck: "That's right. I'll go see Mr. Qiu tomorrow and ask him what he was investigating before he was assassinated."
Everyone went over the matter again, and they all felt that they had guessed pretty well, so they went to have a rest.
The next day, Jia Xu, who was very strong in kung fu, set off to Mr. Guo's house to explore the tunnels of the Ding family. Before leaving, Jia Cong was filled with worries. He sighed from left to right and said: "That house is full of traps. Fifth Uncle
Be careful 1
Zhenming made him mutter in annoyance and said: "It's just a few institutions, they never change from their original origins."
Jia Cong let out an "ouch" and climbed up the pole: "Uncle, why don't you go and stretch your muscles together?"
Zhen Ming glanced at Jia Xu and said, "This guy's kung fu can still be decent."
"That's a trap, not a fight!" Jia Cong stepped forward and tugged on Zhen Ming's shirt, "Uncle! Please! That Guo Sanshui's trap is amazing!" He then sighed, "It's a pity that Mr. Guo's character is not very good.
, I am not interested in asking him to come out to do things."
Zhenming glanced at him and said, "You also want to build a mechanism tunnel?"
"Underground sidewalks, future subways, these projects that benefit the country and the people are all useful." Jia Cong said, "For example, a knife can kill and save people, and tunnels are just a craft. They can be used to deceive people.
, and can also be used to benefit the people."
Seeing that what he said was true, Zhenming couldn't help but believe it. He said: "That's all. Since you said it was of serious use, Pindao will go with this little brother Liu." Jia Cong quickly bowed and flattered him to say thank you; Jia Xu shivered. , I can’t get used to hearing the word “Brother Liu”.
The two of them had just gone out. Before Jia Cong could go to see Qiu Liang, Qiu Liang's people had already come to call for help. He found some soldiers who had seen the "porters" who had delivered letters to Jia Cong that day, and asked them to help draw the shadow. Graphic. As soon as the "porter" appeared, he recognized it: the bandit leader Fang Yong.
Jia Cong hurried to the Yamen and said to Qiu Liang: "I have guessed that Xu is one of their own, but I didn't know that it was Fang Yong himself." He clicked his tongue, "What a cruel heart! Zhenyuan is the elder of their Wen family. Yeah, I helped him when he was young."
Qiu Liang sighed: "In your opinion, why did he and Zhenyuan fall out?"
Jia Cong shrugged and said, "Most of the time relatives and friends fall out because of money."
Qiu Liang thought: "It makes sense, Zhenyuan is a big thief." He then said worriedly, "It's just that the Fang family still has no clues. It's weird, how come they can't find out any information?"
Jia Cong suddenly remembered something and blurted out "Oh!" Qiu Liang looked at him hurriedly. Jia Cong said: "Master Qiu, what you are talking about is, how come you can't find any clues after checking for so long? Fang Xiong Ren Jiannan Jiedushi has been envoy for many years, and he has already turned against you. Will there be any plans for you?"
Qiu Liang smiled bitterly and said, "I've been suspicious for a long time. I just checked several times carefully and found no one suspicious."
"That's weird." Jia Cong frowned. After a while, he raised his suspicions about Qiu Liang's assassination and asked, "Were there any old cases that were investigated before the assassination?"
Qiu Liang thought for a while: "I have solved a few old cases. It seems that it has nothing to do with Fang Xiong."
"Maybe you can let me see the files?" Qiu Liang was eager for him to help with the work, but the prince would not give him a salary! So he ordered people to send all the files for these days to his inn.
In the next few days, Jia Cong and Liu Feng checked the files one by one, but neither saw anything strange. The two looked at each other with frowns. Lv Sangu looked at it and said: "There must be something wrong in Qiu Liang Yamen. Back then, Huan'er and one of your fifth uncle's children, Shi Li, assassinated the second son of King Yan." Jia Cong smiled mischievously. Lv Sangu glanced at him, "We tried our best to check for a long time but couldn't find out. Later I Only then did I realize that your fifth uncle was causing trouble inside and pointed out many wrong paths for me."
Jia Cong laughed again and said, "Qiu Liang has carefully checked the number of his men."
Lu Sangu said: "There may not be spies. It's because people listened to them when they were discussing matters."
Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "If Ding Wangji had such a master, would he still need to coax Zhenyuan into the water?"
Lu Sangu knocked on the teapot: "It turns out that there is a tunnel under the Prince of Shu's Mansion? You can eavesdrop in the main hall of the study."
"Ouch!" Jia Cong slapped the desk, "That's right! Ding Wangji has this super big cheat called Guo Sanshui!" (.. )
