It was said that Jia Cong and Yuan Bai were talking in the house, and someone was clapping and talking outside. All three people in the house looked outside. They saw the door of the house being pushed open with a "squeak", and someone appeared at the door. This person was dressed in Chu.
The man in yellow commoner clothes, with a thin bald head, was the old man that Ling Dang saw in the Biman Mansion. The old man was smiling and proudly stepped across the threshold with his hands behind his back. Hearing a "bang" sound, blood opened on the old man's forehead.
He swayed a few times, and before he could say a single word, he fell down with a "plop".
Yuan Bai was shocked: "There is an assassin!"
Jia Cong waved his hand: "Master Yuan, don't panic, the shooter was a guard of Wan Sheng." Then he looked at the old man's body and said, "Your Excellency must have heard that Master Qiu Liang fought with thieves in a house on Zhuzhi Street a few days ago.
It was a small battle, but two people escaped. He was one of them."
Yuan Bai was angry and scared, pointed at him and said, "You clearly know who he is!"
Jia Cong shrugged: "I really don't know. But I know he wants to kill me. Countless classic bloody movies tell us that when you want to kill someone, you have to shoot immediately. Once you explain to him the ins and outs for a long time, he will not die.
I don't care why he wants to kill me, and I don't want to know." He smiled and said, "That Mr. Mei had better stay hidden and don't come out, or he will die if exposed to the light."
The owner of the antique shop brought a few guys in to move the body of the bald old man. Yuan Bai asked: "What are Mr. Jia going to do with this body?"
"Burn him into ashes." Jia Cong turned around and ordered, "Don't search him, I don't want to know who he is." The boss agreed.
Turning back to look at Yuan Bai, this man went from calmness to fear at a speed visible to the naked eye, and collapsed on the chair. After a long time, he said feebly: "What else does Mr. Jia want to do?"
"I want to kill Mr. Mei. Are you willing to hand him over, Mr. Yuan?" Jia Cong smiled like a lucky cat, "In exchange, I can help you kill the murderer of your son, Princess Shu, or let her suffer.
"
Yuan Bai was stunned for a long time and sneered: "Mr. Jia, why should you excuse Situ Cen?"
Jia Cong said: "Am I excusing Situ Cen? Mr. Yuan, just go and ask Aunt He. You just think about, if the son does not die at the hands of the princess, what else could Aunt He use to control her? She did it
The bastard of the King of Shu who died? Do you really think that the King of Shu doesn't know? Now her backer is not the King of Shu at all, and the loss of the life of the prince's lover is only three inches away. And Aunt He must have evidence in her hands, or ironclad evidence. Anyway, you guys
They are a group. If you don't ask her, you can just pretend to be stupid. If you ask her, you will be embarrassed to hide it. If you want to go back to discuss with your superiors, I am sure they will not allow you to kill her - the princess is too useful to be alive.
He's dead and worthless. Therefore, if you want to take revenge, you can only entrust me to him." Yuan Bai was thoughtful. Jia Cong waited for a while, bared his teeth and said with a fake smile: "How about it? Do you want to trade Mr. Mei for your enemy's?
Fate? If you want to do business, hurry up~~When I find Mr. Mei myself, you will be useless."
While he was talking, a waiter was already wiping away the blood stains that the bald old man accidentally spilled on the door and the floor near the door frame. Yuan Bai stared blankly at the two waiters with a basin of water. The wiped wet marks dried up in a moment, and he was bald in the blink of an eye.
The old man seemed as if he had never been here. Jia Cong sat for a long time, thinking about whether to hum a little tune, when Yuan Bai spoke: "Is Mr. Jia preparing to assist the King of Lu now?"
"No!" Jia Cong said, "Don't be so rigid in doing things, as long as you can achieve your goals. I will help anyone who sends troops overseas, regardless of whether their surname is Huo, Shui, Zhou, Situ. If it were the Tang Dynasty, I would assist them.
Li was the one who assisted Zhu in the Ming Dynasty. If Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, I would assist him as long as Wang Mang was willing to go overseas to seize territory. I don't assist the emperor, I only help those who fight overseas, whether he is a monarch or a minister.
Thief." He spread his hands and said, "Why don't I take the imperial examination?"
Yuan Bai nodded: "I understand. No wonder Mr. Mei said that you must have rebelled."
Jia Cong waved his hands repeatedly: "No! I never surrendered, how could I rebel?"
Yuan Bai hesitated for a while and then asked tentatively: "What if there is one person today who is willing to unite the whole country to attack overseas?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "If anyone wants to dominate the world in the past few years, no matter who it is, I will kill him."
Yuan Bai was shocked: "Why!"
Jia Cong said: "I've said it countless times! Civil war destroys the population. I even feel sorry for those bandits who died in Zhuzhi Street a few days ago. Those were all strong men! It would be great to send them overseas to occupy territory. Again
It's not a good idea to die on the battlefield with the Westerners. You can also kill a few more Westerners."
Yuan Bai asked anxiously: "Mr. Jia, aren't you afraid of disobeying the destiny of heaven?"
Jia Cong said sternly: "I am here to change my destiny against the will of heaven. If we obey the destiny, we will wait to be destroyed by the Westerners!" Yuan Bai was dumbfounded. Jia Cong waited patiently for half a day but did not see him speak, so he had to speak first.
, "Master Yuan, think about it carefully. Do you want to do this business with me? Mr. Mei's arrest documents have been hanging on the streets."
Yuan Bai closed his eyes for a long time, gritted his teeth and said: "If we have different paths, we should not work together."
Jia Cong waved his hand: "No one wants to conspire with Mr. Yuan, it's just business. You want to avenge me, and I want to kill Mr. Mei. Otherwise, Mr. Yuan seems to have not figured out who the enemy is. You go back and test it first."
Let’s test Aunt He. Anyway, our deal is valid until I kill Mr. Mei.”
Yuan Bai suddenly raised his head: "Why doesn't Mr. Jia want to know the identity of the old man just now?"
Jia Cong lowered his eyes and recited "Infinite Heavenly Lord": "Everything is futile after death, so why bother."
Yuan Bai shook his head, stood up and said goodbye; Jia Cong hurriedly returned the gift and sent him out personally. When Yuan Bai was about to step out of the threshold, Jia Cong said: "By the way, no matter whether the business is successful or not, please don't stop me, Mr. Yuan."
Cen rectifies the administration of officials." He sighed lightly, "Who would have thought that Mr. Yuan, who holds such a high position and is as powerful as the Prime Minister, would be the leader of corrupt officials."
Yuan Bai was furious: "I have never been greedy for more than a penny of copper!"
"I didn't say you were always greedy," Jia Cong said, "but it's true that you always protect them. With all due respect, you won't be able to cross the Shu Kingdom like this, and that Taoist brother on Mount Huashan should stop having these ideas.
Already."
Yuan Bai's face froze: "What...what Taoist brother..."
Jia Cong curled his lips and said: "You just look at this whole plan. Send a son to the prince, and then use the true identity of the fake grandson to control Shu. Isn't it the same as what Taoist brother Huashan did in Qin? Since it didn't work in Qin, how can it be done in Qin?
How could Shu succeed? Who came up with the plan? Or the father-in-law who was hiding in Prince Qin’s Mansion. Didn’t he have any idea about the method?"
Yuan Bai smiled bitterly and said: "I have no one and no money. If I don't use these, what else can I do?"
"Didn't Brother Dao have bandits in his hands? Zhou Xiaolan started his career as a single man, and all his soldiers and horses were also bandits. Didn't they all establish a country? Don't always think of nothing but nothing." Jia Cong sighed again, "The Supreme Emperor
We have to face the current situation squarely. He is no longer the emperor, but a grassroots man. As long as he has the ambition and ability, it is the same to become the leader of a foreign country. It is better than being trapped on Jinggang Mountain."
Yuan Bai said sadly: "It turns out that Mr. Jia knows everything."
"I know, so what if I know? Is it not fair for me to fight against them? Why doesn't Mr. Yuan fight for the injustice for the people of Shu?"
Yuan Bai picked up his feet and walked away. After taking two steps, he suddenly turned back and said, "Mr. Jia, does he know what the house on Zhuzhi Street is for?"
Jia Cong said: "I'm not interested in knowing. Any secret place has no value once it is exposed. Those ashes have been dead for many years. I just said that dead people are useless." Yuan Bai seemed to have gained some confidence, he hummed heavily and rolled his sleeves
Gone.
The other young man in the room was Chen Ruijin, disguised as a man. Seeing that Yuan Bai had left, he followed him out of the yard and glanced at Jia Cong: "That's all. How did you guess that the old man would follow?"
Jia Cong breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I guessed something right again." Nai took his wife's hand and went into the house, explaining, "The Shangyu Tie was obtained by my grandfather during his early battles.
It was not publicized in the family, but the earliest four princes and eight princes probably knew that Yuan Bai liked calligraphy and painting, and everyone in Chengdu knew it. Suddenly someone let out the news and got Shangyu's post. It was obvious that I was trying to catch Yuan Bai. Yuan Bai personally
When he came, there must be a master secretly following him. The old man was Liu Dengxi's man. The late emperor felt that he was about to die, so he passed this Bifan dungeon to the Supreme Emperor. It was probably at that time that he replaced the late emperor's man with Liu Dengxi's man.
Man. Now that the dungeon has been dug by Qiu Liang, this bald old man has no work for the time being. Now that he knows that I am hooking up with Yuan Bai, he wants to talk to you again, so he will probably come here in person. Besides, those people in Huashan are not allowed to guard
Do you care about the Supreme Emperor? To them, the Emperor is more important than anything else."
Chen Ruijin thought for a while: "What do you think the dungeon is for?"
Jia Cong shook his head: "I don't know, I can't guess at all. Let's wait for Dong Ming." He hesitated for a while, "I always think it has something to do with them being so bold and daring to think about swallowing up Shu. They have no soldiers and no money.
It is impossible to control the Kingdom of Shu with just a baby and a woman. Think about it. Are the King of Shu and Acen dead? Apart from the bald prison head, there must be something else in that dungeon that can help the Supreme Emperor control it.
In the Kingdom of Shu, Fan Meiren’s baby boy is just a sign. Everything is ready. All he needs is for the east wind to raise it as a flagpole."
"If this is the case, they have to prepare everything first." Chen Ruijin thought, "But now the whole country of Shu is in the hands of the King of Shu and his son."
Jia Cong couldn't help but tapped his finger on the desk: "Also, why did Mr. Mei trick me into going to Bifan Mansion? If you want to kill me, you can just buy a house in Chengdu and coax me there. Why does it have to be there?
"I'm so cunning. If I were to escape, wouldn't it expose their important position?" The couple speculated for a long time, but had no clue yet.
On the other side, Yuan Bai left the antique shop and rode back home in a daze. He sat in the study and worked hard for hours. He finally waited until the sun went down. He didn't even eat dinner, so he changed into a servant's clothes.
He dodged and slipped out of the North Point Gate. He was not riding a horse, and was walking quickly with a bamboo hat on. A drunk man followed him slowly and slowly. The two walked in tandem and for half an hour they arrived at a small house.
, Yuan Bai knocked on the door and went in. After a while, two men in black came out of the house, looked around for a while, and then went back. Not long after, the drunk man also knocked on the door and went in. About two quarters of an hour passed.
, a government official from Chengdu Prefecture passed by with a dog, shouting and shouting. Until the third watch, Yuan Bai came out of the house and went back to Yuan Mansion. The two men in black came out to look around again, and saw that nothing happened.
Went back.
At the fourth watch, it was quiet at night. Dozens of people dressed in black surrounded the house from all sides, and their figures were as dense as Shura. Suddenly, several gunshots were heard, as if children set off several firecrackers. When the house was empty, several people jumped out of bed.
After going out of the window, they all made live targets. It turned out that the night walkers were crouching on the wall. There were also dogs barking. The night walkers immediately shot and killed the guard dogs several times. Seeing that there was no movement in the house, some stayed on the wall and others jumped into the courtyard wall.
among.
I saw night walkers with round helmets on their heads. They were patrolling the courtyard in groups of three. Then, one group of people stood guard at the door with guns raised, and the remaining groups guarded the windows. Another group came over, and the two on the left and right took cover. The person in the middle
He kicked the door open and quickly avoided it. As expected, several gunshots were heard in the house. The man who kicked the door opened said a string of English, which meant that there were four targets inside. The friend next to the person who kicked the door also said the same.
A string of English clearly pointed out the location of the four people. Four night walkers stretched out four dark gun barrels from the window, bang bang bang bang, four gunshots, and four "ouch" sounds came from the house.
Now that there was a sound, the location was more and more exposed. The four people turned into corpses in the blink of an eye. The night traveler entered the house to investigate carefully, and then went to the side room to investigate.
Not long after, there was only one person left alive in the house. Although this person had a gun in his hand, he did not know how to use it. Hearing the sound of gunshots outside and the smell of blood entering his mouth and nose, he could only hide in the quilt and tremble. He walked at night.
The people checked inside and out, and carefully collected the bullet casings that had fallen from their homes. One person laughed and said: "It's a shame that this place is so quiet. They don't even know that Da Yin is hiding in the city?"
After finishing cleaning up, a night traveler dug out the living mouth, tore off a piece of face and stuffed his mouth, then twisted his arms and tied the man up. The man behind him took a sack from his body and put it in it, carrying it on his back.
Behind his back, he no longer cared about the dead bodies in the room, and the night walkers climbed over the wall and left quickly.
The living man was carried on his back for a long time before he was put down. After half an hour, the sack was opened. Dozens of candles were burning brightly in the room, and Jia Cong sat on the chair in front of him with a smile and looked at him.
He raised his hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Mei, we meet again."
The living person was Mr. Mei, a weak scholar. He was stunned and praised: "Mr. Jia is very capable!"
"Chengyi, chengyi." Jia Cong said, "I don't have much ability, I'm just lucky."
Mr. Mei said with a smile: "Those yamen servants in Chengdu Prefecture today must be your people. That area is remote and few people go there, let alone the yamen servants."
"Yes~~" Jia Cong said proudly, "But even if you are suspicious, there is nothing you can do. Lord Yuan is in your room. He has so much to say, you have to let him finish it, right? Even if you can coax him, you have to
It takes a lot of time.”
Mr. Mei sighed: "I told those government officials that they were wrong. They only said that no one was following Mr. Yuan."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "There are many types of tracking. People follow, dogs follow. We didn't use people to follow this time, we used dogs to follow." Mr. Mei sighed again.
