389. Chapter 388
It is said that Jia Cong and others had an idle affair in Shu Kingdom, as if the two families exchanged their children for each other. It's just that I live in someone's house, and it's not a problem if the owner is gone. Jia Yu ordered Chen Ruijin to stay and go to Guo's house by himself.
Not long after he left, the Yuan family came back! Look, the eyes are obviously crying. Uncle Yuan looked at Jia Cong and shook his head and said, "It's not what the little boy guessed." Jia Cong was stunned. He asked Jia Yu again, and Jia Cong said, "I went out for a walk." Aunt Yuan and her daughter began to clean up dinner. After Jia Yu came back, everyone pretended to be nothing, and went back to rest after dinner.
Jia Cong was anxious, pulled Jia Cong and asked, "Fifth uncle, what's the matter?" β
Jia Yu said: "Old lady Guo was not at home when I passed. Listening to their family chewing their tongues, the Yuan family and his wife had gone to look for him, but they never saw them go out, and they probably walked through the tunnel. β
Jia Cong scratched his head and said, "This old man is so weird. β
Liu Feng said: "Do we want to live in another place?" As if his heart was not steady. β
Jia Cong hurriedly said: "Are you not down-to-earth? Oh, if anyone is not down-to-earth, something will happen! Let's hide out, after all, it's someone else's territory, it's safer. β
Jia Yu and Chen Ruijin were both cautious first, so they pretended to go out and tell the Yuan family that they were tired from the journey for a day and wanted to go to bed early. Aunt Yuan also sent them a return of water. After cleaning up, the four of them slipped away like thieves and hid in the backyard of the Yuan family's neighbors.
It was the third watch of the night, and Chen Ruijin woke up Jia Cong. Jia Cong rubbed his eyes, heard many popping sounds outside, and asked quietly, "What?" β
"Thief." Chen Ruijin said, "Elite soldiers." β
Jia Cong patted his chest: "I'm not a big-hearted pig teammate." Nai complained, "The promised establishment of a party is going to a new era, and it is inexplicably being hunted down and killed." He glanced at it again, "What about the fifth uncle?" β
"It's out." Liu Feng said, "I heard the noise and went out." β
"Oh."
I don't want Jia Yu to not come back for a long time. The sky was about to dawn, Jia Cong couldn't stay still, and Jia Cong finally came back. He led them on the morning frost, and when they came to the door of an empty house, the sun was rising in the east. Inside, Mrs. Guo was tied to the ground, and her face was bloodless.
Jia Yu said: "It's such a hard mouth, I can't pry it open after half a day's effort." Cong'er, aren't you clever, clichΓ©. β
"Who was the thief just now?"
"His people." Jia Yu said, "More than forty, and I have chopped off several pillows and futons on our bed." β
"Tsk." Jia Cong approached the old man and circled around him twice, "Can you do it?" There is no injustice or hatred. I told you we were just passing through. The old man closed his eyes and was silent.
Jia Cong said again: "Don't pretend that the four are empty, believe it or not, we will go and slaughter the one surnamed Yuan." The old man immediately opened his eyes. Jia Cong shrugged his shoulders and said, "Uncle Yuan told me last night, I guessed wrong. If you don't change that child for his wife, you can only change it for him. β
The old man asked in a hoarse voice, "Who are you?" β
"Uncle, you are a prisoner right now." Jia Cong pouted and said, "But you won't say who you are." I'll guess. I never believe in chance, but there must be a reason for chance. Yesterday we watched a fight, and I casually guessed a few words, and then a child heard it, and went back to sue you. And then you don't ask anything, you just want to kill us. This town is not a major traffic artery, and there are not many outsiders passing by. If it's no accident that my nonsense is heard, it's that you sent people to secretly follow every gang of strangers. Children don't get much attention, and it doesn't cost much to hire them. If you kill people without asking, it can be seen that you are very afraid and do not hesitate to injure people's lives by mistake. Who would be afraid that outsiders would be afraid of this? It's all a frightened bird! must be a wanted criminal by the imperial court. And you must have done a very big thing. He turned his head and asked Jia Yu, "Now that bandits are rampant in this world, the king of the mountain is amazing, and someone in his hand can cover the sky." Who would be so scared of people and horses? And Uncle Yuan is in his thirties. β
Jia Yu thought for a long time, shook his head and said, "I can't think of it." Those things in the early years are no longer a matter now. And the world is divided, and all the kings are not to blame for the past. β
Liu Feng said: "Presumably, the old man offended the sixth prince and hid back home when he was running the dock outside many years ago. I thought it would be good to hide, but who knew that it wasn't for the fact that the six princes came to Shu to be the main one. Go back to Chengdu and ask the King of Shu if he has any enemies he hasn't caught, and if he can't keep it, he can get some reward. Take him with you, and that Uncle Yuan. β
This old lady Guo was indifferent at first, but when she heard "Uncle Yuan", she couldn't help but move, and said, "How much money do you want?" β
Liu Feng said to himself: "He regards Uncle Yuan as more important than himself. β
"Normal." Jia Cong said, "He is so old, and his son is naturally more important than himself." β
"That's not right." Chen Ruijin said, "It's not a son. It's the master. She slowly paced from behind to Mrs. Guo and gently tore open his collar, only to see a scar two inches below his head. She said indifferently, "Your master is a traitor, but you are quite loyal." β
Jia Yu thought for a while: "Oh, you are that Guo Sanshui." "Nai Dao," I am afraid that Old Man Zhan has been aggrieved for most of his life. In the early years, Prince Yizhong almost succeeded, but there was a past advisor recommended by Situ Pan, Guo Shu, a native of Hubei. Prince Yizhong regarded this person as a military advisor, but this person sold him clean. Mr. Guo has a personal soldier by his side, a native of Sichuan, who happens to be also surnamed Guo and named Guo Sanshui. Once Guo Shu was assassinated, this person blocked a sword for the master, and he stabbed here. He pointed to Mrs. Guo's scar and said, "I said I was dead." β
Jia Cong said: "In fact, that Guo Shu is the descendant of the Guo family who moved to Hubei from this town in the past, and he knows that it is difficult to say for these princes: it may be the Yangguan Road where the marquis worships the prime minister, or it may be the ghost gate pass where the mill is unloaded and the donkey is killed." He ordered Guo Sanshui to hide a son, and entrusted or transferred him to the Guo family's hometown, looking for a family to raise him. Well, it should be someone else's child who stole it, otherwise I'm afraid it will be found out. His mind was spinning very smoothly, and he clapped his hands and said, "Well, that's about it." Guo Sanshui first faked his death and came back, and after a few days, he pretended to marry a daughter-in-law, who was really Guo Shu's pregnant concubine. When the child is born, he will be replaced with the Yuan family. In this way, even though he was found by the princes, Guo Shu's child was still alive. Later, seeing that the court did nothing to move over time, he replaced his grandson, who should have been surnamed Yuan, back to raise Guo Shu's own grandson. Pretty much that, right? β
Looking at Mrs. Guo's face again, it was like seeing a ghost.
Jia Cong asked again: "What do you have to do with the King of Shu?" β
Jia Yu smiled and said, "How do you know that the sixth prince has no military power?" Mr. Guo dug a pit for him, so that the first emperor thought that he was going to rebel, and wore a flail all the way from the border pass into Beijing, so that he could hang the door and die. His eldest son also died at the hands of Mr. Kwok. Because of this incident, Prince Yizhong completely believed in Guo Shu. By the time the sixth prince came to his senses and wanted to take revenge, it was too late. Guo Shu's family let people die early. β
Jia Congqi said: "It's all wilted like that, can Prince Yizhong's people still kill the heroes of the Son of Heaven?" β
Jia Yu glanced at him: "Who sued you for killing Prince Yizhong?" β
"Huh? Could it be that Liu Dengxi killed him? β
"It's not." Jia Yu said, "I don't know who killed it until now." The horizontal and vertical plan was not killed by the remnants of Prince Yizhong. β
"How do you know?"
"Kill too casually." Jia Yu said, "It can be seen from the beginning that there is no hatred. I went to examine the corpse. β
Old lady Guo's eyes lit up as if they were on fire: "Who killed the military advisor!" β
Jia Cong held his cheeks and said, "If it's not Prince Yizhong...... Hey, old man, whose person is Guo Shu? Emperor Taishang's or King Yan's? β
Old lady Guo was stunned: "The two of them are in a gang!" β
"It's not." Jia Cong said, "They have been working together for a few years for the time being. You always know Guo Shu's lordship. Who did he vote for first? The Third Prince, or the Ninth Prince? β
Old lady Guo said: "Three princes." β
Jia Cong said: "It may be that Guo Shu has noticed that the Nine Princes are against him, and sooner or later he will be the enemy of the Three Princes." The prince of the Ninth Sect also noticed that Guo Shu realized that he had an antipathy, and he took the lead to kill people and kill them. β
"Impossible!" Old lady Guo said, "The military master is the reincarnation of Zhuge , and the Nine Princes can't harm him!" The Nine Princes personally admit that they are not as good as military advisors! β
"Oh." Jia Cong said, "Then I don't know. However, horizontal and vertical have nothing to do with us. There are also two puzzles: the Guo family's mechanism, and the old lady Guo's subordinates. A pro-soldier who was ordered to take the young master to hide, how could there be so many people at hand? How did Mrs. Guo, a mallet-like master like Mrs. Guo, who wants to kill people even if he says a few words casually to outsiders, come up with this thing? β
Liu Feng suddenly said: "The third master's casual words really can't kill people." It's not on the cusp of the storm now. β
Old lady Guo said: "He even guessed that he would change the child, what if it was the person of the sixth prince?" β
Liu Feng said with a smile: "You always climb the pole like this, obviously it's not because of this." He said to Jia Cong, "I'm afraid that what the third master just guessed is not right." β
"Huh?"
Liu Feng looked at Mrs. Guo and said, "If I were Guo Shu and wanted to keep one for myself, I would never hand over my young son to a master who looked like a mallet." The old man is not a lot of wisdom. So I went back again. Why did the old man rush to throw us into the trap yesterday? β
Jia Cong's brows moved: "What you said was 'throwing into a trap'." β
Liu Feng nodded and said, "It's not 'killing'." What would happen if we were just ordinary merchants and fell into the trap? β
Mrs. Guo looked at them for a long time, and then asked, "Who are you?" β
Jia Cong said: "I don't sue you." β
The old man sighed, "That's it." He smiled again, "Excellent." He suddenly shot out like an arrow, and the two masters of Jia and Chen Ruijin couldn't stop him, and watched him crash into the corner of the wall and die of anger.
Several people looked at each other. Jia Cong muttered, "No matter what, you don't have to die......"
Liu Feng asked: "What to do now?" β
"What do you say?"
"The third master is the best at unraveling the mess."
Jia Cong pouted and said, "I usually chop with a knife. Nai turned around and walked out of the empty house and went straight to Yuan's house.
The Yuan family is in chaos at this time. Uncle Yuan saw that the guests were gone, and the bedding and pillows on the bed were cut into several pieces, and he didn't know what was going on, so he called a large group of relatives in the family to go to the town to help find them. Seeing that they were safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief. Aunt Yuan recited the Buddha.
After the help left, Jia Cong said in a low voice with a calm face: "Uncle Yuan, things are more troublesome than we thought, and they are much more troublesome. Mrs. Guo is gone. β
"Huh?!" Uncle Yuan trembled in fright.
"No matter which one is your son, even if you take your whole family, the Guo family, and the two children, it is not safe now."
Uncle Yuan was stunned: "Master Jia, what's the matter!" β
Jia Cong said: "What did Mrs. Guo tell you yesterday? Not necessarily the truth. No, eighty percent is not true. β
The two members of the Yuan family glanced at each other, and Uncle Yuan said after a while: "He...... He said...... I am the son of a general he used to follow. The general was framed by traitors and managed to hide a son from Yuan's family. β
"General's surname?"
"If you say yes, your surname is Guo." Uncle Yuan said, "It's buried outside the town." Yesterday, he led the two of us to pay homage to my father. β
Jia Yu shook his head and said, "That's not right. If you are Guo Shu's son, Guo Shu's body is not here. β
Jia Cong said: "Maybe Mrs. Guo moved here later?" β
Jia Yu said: "He doesn't know where he is. Jia Cong hurriedly shut up. It is obvious that Guo Shu was buried by him.
Liu Fengnai asked, "You guys went out from the Guo family's tunnel." How deep is the tunnel? Is it a finished staircase or a wooden ladder? Where is the exit? β
"Not deep." Uncle Yuan said: "It's just about a zhang, it's a wooden ladder." The exit is my father...... He said my father's grave was not far away. β
Liu Feng said with a smile: "If my guess is correct, the tomb must be newly repaired." β
Uncle Yuan hurriedly said: "Because there is more rain this year, the grave has moved slightly, and his old man has recently repaired it." β
"Let's go and see first." Liu Feng said, "That old man Guo is not a gentleman. β
Jia Cong suddenly said, "I know! β
After waiting for a while, no one asked, only Uncle Yuan cautiously asked, "What does Gongzi Jia know?" β
Jia Cong let out a sigh: "There are still coincidences in the world. He said to the people, "As soon as yesterday's incident comes out, it will have to be reported in the town for a few days." There are always merchants passing through this town, there are always people who want to eat, and there are always people who like to gossip. β
Liu Feng smiled and said, "Yesterday's tavern." β
Jia Cong nodded and said, "The shopkeeper and the little second brother may or may not be Mrs. Guo's people." In short, with that tavern, there are merchants who can hear the story of 'the son of the Yuan family is like Master Guo'. After all, Aunt Yuan and Master Guo are innocent. He glanced at Aunt Yuan.
Aunt Yuan lowered her head and said, "I saw that the child has changed a ...... I just don't dare to say. β
Jia Cong continued: "Therefore, it won't be long before someone guesses whether it will be the two families that have changed children." Oops, obviously both are grandchildren, why change children? A few of us just hit our heads once. β
Uncle Yuan said inexplicably: "So what? β
"There are always good deeds who go out of the tavern door and continue to inquire." Jia Cong said, "If Mrs. Guo invites him to sit at home at this time, will he not go?" Sit down, and the man falls out of the trap. I turned around for a few days, hungry and scared, and then escaped from the tunnel by chance! As soon as you get out of the tunnel, you see a tomb, will you go to see what name is written on the tomb? It's easy to escape, will you leave this place quickly? After a few days, when you see that nothing is safe, will you tell this story as a story? After others listen to it, will they guess? Jia Cong smiled, "This is a pit." The pit dug by Mrs. Guo ten years ago. If you cheat Uncle Yuan and your biological son, you will inevitably have to cheat others in the future. For example, the king of Shu, Fang Xiong, or something. β
Uncle Yuan stayed for a long time and asked, "Am I the son of General Guo?" β
"It's not." Jia Cong said, "You are the son of the Yuan family. Your son is Mr. Guo's grandson. Nai Xiao looked at a few partners, "Is there anything to add?" β
Jia Yu smiled and said nothing, Chen Ruijin was still indifferent. Liu Feng said: "Yes." There are people in Shu who want to rebel, and they are military generals. Judging from the fact that Old Lady Guo is so open-minded, ninety percent is Fang Xiong, the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu. β
"Huh? Aren't they in a group? β
"It's not." Liu Feng smiled, "They have been working together for a few years. β
