It is said that someone shot an arrow into the courtyard of the inn where Jia Cong lived, reminding them to pay attention to the plot. Jia Cong went to see the king of Shu early the next morning and said, "Ask the prince for one thing." ”

The king of Shu hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Ask the prince to help him find a safe and convenient place to live. I brought bodyguards with me, but I was afraid that in case, it would affect other people's inns. Jia Cong took the letter from his sleeve and said, "This was quietly delivered by someone last night." ”

The king of Shu was shocked and ordered someone to invite Qiu Liang to come. Qiu Liang was also shocked when he saw it; The king of Shu then ordered him to investigate the matter, and chose a small house near the left of the palace of the king of Shu to place Jia Cong and others in, sent soldiers to guard and patrol, and raised two big dogs according to Jia Cong's words. Jia Cong was fine, and after moving his residence, he still discussed with King Shu's subordinates to build a school, and that Ding Wangji also came over to discuss the establishment of a university. This matter is important, and the king of Shu specially arranged a yamen with them. Although Jia Cong does not have an official title, he also goes to the yamen every day to do errands.

On the first day of moving here, it happened that someone from the neighbor's house next door also went out. The woman casually raised her head and glanced over here, Jia Cong couldn't help but secretly praise that sure enough, the Chengdu Plain is a place for beautiful women. A few days later, when Jia Cong came back from the yamen, he met the beautiful woman again, but he happened to get out of the carriage, holding the hand of a mother-in-law, and she was graceful and graceful.

When he arrived in the yard, Xiao Yuan Shikai was walking on a horse, Jia Cong stepped forward to tease others, and Jia Cong yelled at him through the window not to make trouble. After entering the house, Chen Ruijin said: "That woman is hooking up with you." ”

Jia Cong was stunned: "Which woman?" Immediately understood, and said: "I think too much, it's just a neighbor, and I don't know each other." Naxi Zizi glanced at her, thinking that wow, would she be jealous?

Chen Ruijin said: "I have learned, and I know it the first time. After a pause, "Just want to see when you understand." Jia Cong pursed his mouth.

Jia Yu was discussing with Liu Feng, and when he heard this, he raised his head and said, "You are not young, and you have never married a wife." These days in the Shu Mansion to show your talents, no one calculates that you are not normal. ”

"How can it be such a coincidence?" Jia Cong poured tea and ate it himself, and said, "It just so happens that the family lives next door, and it just so happens that we moved over." ”

Liu Feng suddenly laughed beside him: "If Miss Chen is sure, I know who shot the arrow." ”

Three people asked at the same time, "Who?" ”

Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "None of you cooperate with me when I hang my appetite on weekdays, why do you cooperate with what he says?" "Nobody paid any attention to him.

Liu Feng said: "The neighbor's path next door is often used by our own family, and it is a plan to startle snakes. Congratulations to the third master, it can be regarded as making the harem of the King of Shu worry. ”

Jia Cong touched his nose: "What do you mean, someone has already calculated that if we move, ninety percent will move here." ”

Liu Feng nodded and said: "Alone in Shu Kingdom, even if you have bodyguards by your side and get the arrow book to report the news, ordinary people will not stay in the inn if they want to." The Shu King's Mansion was temporarily moved, and there won't be too many small mansions near the left, which happen to be the property of the King of Shu. Let's move out of the inn, and the third master is unwilling to live in the palace, which house the king of Shu will take to settle it can be calculated early on, and it will be easier if someone blows the wind in his ear. ”

Jia Cong sighed: "Then let's not be so dangerous for the time being?" ”

"It's more dangerous." Liu Feng said, "Obviously, the errand to find out this matter will fall to Qiu Liang, who is capable." People are either not afraid of him finding out, or they are sure that he can't find out. Now the next-door neighbor has ulterior motives, and I don't know if there will be other purposes, not necessarily just for this one. ”

Jia Cong shrugged his shoulders and said, "Whatever, it's not like we haven't passed through anything else." ”

Jia Yu said: "By the way, I just went out and killed someone." ”

"Huh?"

It turned out that a few days ago, Jia Yu planted in the Shu Wangfu's fine work knew one thing, there was a big manager in the Shu Wangfu and a younger brother of the Shu King's Ai Ji were conspiring to seize other people's antique shops. Jia Yu rushed Liu Feng to pretend to be a Taoist priest to ask the owner of the shop if he wanted to join the merchant party. Just now, a ruthless Taoist priest was killed by an unjust soul, where will people still believe in Taoist priests? So he drove Liu Feng away. When Liu Feng left, he made a joke and said: "According to the poor road, this owner is about to break his fortune." And if you open this hole and break your fortune, you will be in a thousand miles. He ran away before they beat him with a broom.

Who knew that within a few days, someone was really grabbing their most profitable shop! The proprietor was inevitably suspicious. When Liu Feng went again, he treated him politely and asked Liu Feng for advice. Liu Feng took advantage of the situation to promote the business party again, and said: "Our party is only to protect these people who do business with their duties and are seized of property for no reason." The powerful of the high-ranking families and these brothers-in-law and the chief manager deceived people for no reason, could it be that the businessmen were bullied by them in vain? Not to mention the ordinary taxes, how can there be less daily filial piety? ”

The proprietor really made him angry, and said hatefully: "The yamen everywhere has never been less filial, and Rao can't protect his own family even if he is like this!" Everyone is as greedy as a wolf and a tiger! All of them are bottomless pits! There is no way to take them, and the sister of the other family has entered the palace! ”

Liu Feng smiled and said: "The wolf catches the rabbit, catch you today, and catch him tomorrow." But if the wolf is not full, the rabbit is not safe. It's just that the wolf doesn't eat the rabbit today, and he doesn't have to eat it tomorrow; I don't necessarily eat the rabbits in this nest today, but tomorrow I will eat the rabbits in that nest - Bao Buqi happens to eat the rabbits in the same nest every time. Then the proprietor told him to move.

Because it is inconvenient for the shop to be given directly to the 'brother-in-law', it is only discounted to one-tenth or two-tenth of the market price, and this son is still bargaining. Jia Yu killed people directly, but it was still in broad daylight and blatantly, and he didn't know that this case had never been in Qiu Liang's hands. The proprietor stayed for a quarter of an hour when he heard this, for fear that he would find out about himself, and when Liu Feng went again, he actually closed the door!

Jia Cong laughed when he heard this: "Fifth uncle, you scared people!" ”

Jia Yu said: "Businessmen are cunning. If you don't give him a bowl of noodles to eat, he won't be honest. In a few days, I'll pick a night to scare him. ”

"Fifth Uncle is hard."

"It's just that there's someone important to see."

"The Grand Steward?"

"Ding Wangji's mother." Jia Yu said, "I want to come and go, this sister-in-law has to go and visit." Ding Wangji looks exactly like Guo Shu. When Guo Shu was in the capital, the king of Shu was fighting at the border, and he himself had never seen Guo Shu; It's just that someone has inevitably seen him under his head. Guo Shu and the King of Shu have a grudge against killing their sons, why doesn't the King of Shu suspect him? Several young people were born after Guo Shu's death, and they were indifferent to this person, so they were noncommittal.

In the evening, there was a ding-dong sound from next door, and it was really good. It's just that the five of them are sitting in the courtyard eating tea and chatting, Chen Ruijin is calm, Jia Yu, Liu Feng, and Yuan Shikai are all looking at Jia Cong. How can Jia Cong pretend that he didn't hear it? Nai took a sip of tea, cleared his throat again, and roared, "I'll plant a seed!" Finally the fruit is growing! Today is a great day-" Rao guessed what he was going to sing, and Jia Yu was still startled. The four of them looked at each other for a long time and laughed in unison.

The sound of the piano next door stopped, but Jia Cong didn't. "I love you, I love you like a mouse loves rice—" "I love you when I die—not dripping and not happy—"I want to live like flying in the vast sky—"

Jia Yu couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to beat people; Jia Cong's style of music changed, and he changed the song "Red Beans". Jia Cong has always been a roar when he sings, but suddenly a quiet tune came, and several people were a little unaccustomed to it. Jia Yu is an old man, and it is not pleasant to listen to such a bland tone, and muttered: "It's like chanting scriptures." ”

Jia Cong sang and looked at Chen Ruijin affectionately. Although he didn't sing very well, the important thing was the lyrics, so he sang the key lines over and over again, and sang the whole song over and over again. "When the scenery is seen through, maybe you will accompany me to watch the fine water flow." Chen Ruijin raised his eyes to see a crescent moon hanging like a line on the tree in the corner of the courtyard, the stars were faint and the clouds were clear, the wind was clear and bright, and he was in a good mood.

Yuan Shikai whispered to Liu Feng on the side: "I think the third master's singing seems to be a bit useful, although it is still not good." ”

Liu Feng also said in a low voice: "It's a little useful." ”

The next day happened to be the first day of the new year, and the incense was the most prosperous, and Jia Yu quietly went to Zhaojue Temple. This is an ancient temple, the monks and nuns are divided into two courtyards, and Ding Wangji's adoptive mother has a small courtyard in the nunnery in the south, and there are several sisters-in-law to serve.

Jia Yu first looked around at the terrain, and then went around to the back and secretly looked at this girl for a long time. Even though he is old, he can recognize that he must be a beauty when he is young. Look at the rich furnishings in her house, except for shaving her head and wearing Zi clothes, she is not a sister-in-law at all! Jia Yu frowned: If you avoid trouble and come to be a sister-in-law, this style is too arrogant. And Zhaojue Temple is a big temple near the left side of Chengdu Mansion, and she is a little rude to be so public. I'm afraid that my previous guess will be wrong. He did not act rashly, but hid in the temple to see more.

At night, this old girl was bored, and she lay down in front of the desk and stroked the piano, and the sound of the piano was majestic and different from ordinary women. The tone suddenly changed, and it was as murderous as a golden iron horse.

Suddenly, a woman came from outside the courtyard and asked to see her, and she looked like a maid. The woman stood beside her and waited for her aunt to play the piano, stepped forward to salute, and said, "Our girl played the tune taught by the master last night. Jia Yu took a deep breath.

The old sister-in-law stretched out her hand to ask for tea, and a sister-in-law who was serving by the side was busy giving it to her. The old sister-in-law took two bites of tea, held the tea cup in her hand and said: "If you play it, you will play it, why do you have to sue me every step of the way." ”

The maid lowered her head and said, "Mr. Jia doesn't seem to like it." ”

"How do you know?"

"The girl had only been playing for a while, and he was singing loudly next door, as if he had not heard the sound."

The old sister-in-law frowned: "What did he sing?" ”

The maid said: "The song is also strange, and the words are also strange. We girls have all recorded it. "Nai took out a roll of white silk from his sleeve," and sang a song at the end, but because the voice was much quieter, the girl could not hear the words clearly, so she only recorded the song. ”

The old sister-in-law took the white silk and spread it on the desk and looked at it, and said with a smile: "What kind of tune is this?" It's so ugly. It's a strange word. Did you girls hear me right? ”

That's what she heard. Because it was guessed by listening, it was wrong to keep it even. ”

The old sister-in-law said: "I have never seen such a cheesy word, could it be a country tune in some place?" Nai stretched out his hand and played it slightly, "It's so weird." That's it. She took another sip of tea and asked, "Did you meet yesterday?" ”

The maid said: "I met!" Mr. Jia looked at our girl several times, but it was a little casual. ”

The old sister-in-law snorted: "Arbitrary? Change the color to be more ordinary, but see if he is casual or not? Even the female bodyguards are teasing, and the women of the sinners are also staring, and they must be amorous by nature. His son and his brother are all good all the way. Jia Yu almost laughed outside the window, thinking to himself, he must tell Chen Yatou about this later.

The maid said: "I just heard that when he was doing things in the yamen these days, the people of the prince had a very good relationship with him. ”

The old sister-in-law said: "Jia Cong is used to doing business. Shizi was busy sending a few people to get some compulsory education school, and he happened to be familiar with this matter, just a colleague. ”

The maid said, "I don't know Mr. Ding? ”

The old sister-in-law snorted: "I told him not to test Jia Cong, he must not listen!" Jia Cong's heart is small-minded, and it is difficult for the two of them to make friends. Let your master not be in a hurry, and the people of the world are useless. Among these people, only Qiu Liang has the heart to protect him when he goes down the tunnel, and he regards him as a friend. ”

The maid frowned: "Lord Qiu is a lonely minister. ”

The old sister-in-law glanced at her: "What's the hurry?" It's not time to hit Qiu Liang's idea. ”

The maid should bow her head and say "yes".

The old sister-in-law took two sips of tea and looked at the white silk again, and said, "Lin Hai and Su Zheng, two elegant people, actually taught such a vulgar disciple. Nai smiled, "What did I say that day?" Jia Cong's temperament is really more like Jia Yu and less like Lin Hai Su Zheng. What tree bears what fruit. ”

The maid said, "Do you want to change the girl?" ”

The old sister-in-law waved her hand and said, "Don't change." Even if he himself is vulgar, he will eventually like a woman who is good at piano and books. Even if it is placed in the house, it is better than vulgar powder. ”

Jia Yu was listening interestingly, and suddenly heard a voice barking from a distant distance, there were patrols in this temple! Fearing that the dog would sniff out something, he ducked to a large plane tree at the back of the yard. After a short time, the patrol came, and the dog really shouted. After a while, a sister-in-law came out and sent the people away.

After they left, Jia Yu heard the old sister-in-law shouting in the house: "Is there a gentleman on the beam?" Jia Yu was silent. The old sister-in-law ordered someone to come out and look for it. Seeing that someone had found someone under the tree, Jia Yu pretended to make an idea, and the sister-in-law took a look up with a lantern - although the light was faint, a figure was faintly visible.

Jia Yu hurriedly said: "Don't make a noise! There is no malice in the next! He quickly climbed down from the tree.

The sister-in-law raised the lamp to shine on his face, and Jia Yu hugged her fists and said, "I want to see Mr. Ding Wangji's adoptive mother." ”

The old girl's waist was straight, and she chanted the Buddha and came over and said, "The poor nun is." ”

Jia Yu also saluted her, took out something from his arms without saying a word, and handed it over. The old sister-in-law took it in her hand and looked at it, and was secretly frightened - the waist card of the brocade guard was silver. Thousands of households Liu Quan. Jia Yu said in a low voice: "I don't serve in the imperial court anymore, but I'm a little curious. ”

The old sister-in-law looked at him indifferently: "Curious about what?" ”

"In his early years, he was ordered to investigate a murder case." Jia Yu said, "I can't find it after several years of investigation." Although the top of the back is not allowed to check, I panicked in my heart. The head of the dead family looked very similar to his three sons. "Nai took his eyes and slipped the old girl." Mr. Ding looks ...... the family of four."

The old girl was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, laughing so much that tears flowed.
