The one hundred and fifteenth episode of the Xuzhou case 2
Song Qian hurriedly kowtowed a few times and said, "Brother should die, brother should die." Back then, my mother gave me a bottle of poisonous juice, and my brother stole the chess pieces that my master often used, soaked them in poisonous sweat one by one, dried them in the shade, and secretly sent them back to their original place. On that day, when Master and Wang Guofu were playing chess, they were poisoned, and their minds were crazy for a while, and they did not recognize their relatives, and killed Zhao Fei, Li Hai, and Xu Tao in a row, and then killed each other. The younger brother took advantage of this time to replace the chess pieces on the chessboard with non-toxic ones, because the younger brother did not understand chess, so he placed them indiscriminately, and later buried those poisonous chess. At that time, the officials of the Xuzhou Mansion did not find anything abnormal, but the master and the master of Wang Guofu had a dispute over chess, and they accumulated grievances for a long time, so they were killed and died. In fact, these were all the ideas of the master, she forced her brother to do it, and took advantage of the master's chess game, so that the government did not suspect it. ”
Wang listened to it and said hurriedly: "You killed with a thousand knives, all of them were pushed on me, if you weren't ruthless back then, how would I dare to do it." ”
At this time, the ghost shouted angrily: "You two sluts don't have to argue much, because you have killed five lives together, and have shaken the underworld, the king of Hades has instructed you to write down everything that happened, and then draw a charge, I will bring back the confession and present it to the king of Hades, and then make a decision whether you live or die." Song Qian and Wang listened and hesitated for a while.
The ghost was furious and said, "If you don't write it truthfully, I will immediately take your lives." Immediately, his figure flashed, and he hovered around the heads of Song Qian and Wang, and returned to his original position. The two of them, Song Qian and Wang, felt the yin wind blowing on their faces, and felt that the ghost was as light as nothing, it was like a ghost, and it could capture people's souls, and they were terrified for a while, and even begged for mercy, and were willing to write a confession.
Then Song Qian and Wang looked for a pen and paper, recorded the Xuzhou chess case one by one, and then drew a charge. Song Qian knelt down and said, "I also ask the master to ask for a favor in front of the king of Hades, so that my brother can live for a few more years." ”
The ghost took the confession, and suddenly sneered and said: "Even if the underworld can spare you, the yang world can't spare you, and the king of Hades will still be left to your own family in the future." Song Qian and Wang felt that the ghost's voice was wrong, and they couldn't help but be stunned, and in shock, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a young man walked in and said: "I knew now, why bother at the beginning, do you still recognize me?" ”
When Song Qian and Wang saw this young man, they felt a little familiar, as if they had seen it somewhere, and they were stunned for a while.
The young man who came in was Fang Guolian, the ghost was the law without dressing, the law was known as the "flying monk" in the rivers and lakes, the light skill was extremely high, and the demonstration of the right talent frightened Song Qian and Wang, and brought out the truth of the Xuzhou chess case that year. Fang Guolian listened clearly outside the door, and the doubts in his heart were immediately solved, and he was very angry at what Song Qian and Wang had done, so he pushed the door in.
When the Wang family saw Fang Guolian, he couldn't help but exclaim, he already recognized that Fang Guohuan was the young man who went to his home to test chess with Zhang Linping from Hetang, and when he knew that the matter was exposed, he immediately collapsed to the ground.
Fa Wu took the confession at this time and said to Fang Guojian with a smile: "Senior brother, this pair of dogs and men are not scared, and they have recruited everything. At this time, Song Qian had already understood the way, was deceived, and was full of remorse, relying on the fact that he had practiced martial arts for several years, and wanted to make a death struggle, he launched a ruthless attack, howling and pounced on Fa Wu, wanting to snatch back the confession.
There was no place for him to succeed, he turned around and flew out, kicking Song Gan's ribs several times, and Song Gan, who was in pain, screamed and rolled to the side. Fang Guohuan shook his head at this time and sighed: "The sky has eyes, so that the crimes of the two of you will finally be exposed, I didn't expect that the two of you could do this and kill five lives together." Back then, I thought that game of chess was a bit strange, it turned out that you stole the day and changed the chess, leaving no trace at all. Today, I met me, an insider, and your anger is exhausted, what else do you have to say? Song Qian and Wang each bowed their heads and said nothing.
At this time, the sky was bright, and there was a commotion here, which alarmed many neighbors, and they all gathered around to watch, and saw that Song Qian and Wang were tied up by ropes, and the two strangers stood there, both surprised.
Fang Guohuan saw that the local security guard in the town came to inquire about it, so he said to the local security: "The owners of this family, Song Gan and Wang, are murderers who absconded, and the confessions of the two of them are here, which can be used as evidence, and you can escort them to the local county government for interrogation, and then they will understand everything, and then the government will escort them back to Xuzhou." ”
Seeing that the matter was important, the local security hurriedly selected a few strong men in the neighborhood and sent Song Qian and Wang to the county government. When the onlookers saw that their neighbor and husband were actually a pair of murderers, they couldn't help but talk about it, and they all felt strange, how did Song Qian and Wang get planted in the hands of two strange strangers, and one of them was still a monk.
When the local protector turned around and went to the county government to witness Fang Guohuan and Fa Wu, there was no trace of the two of them. It turned out that Fang Guolian and Fa Wu had already quietly left and rushed to Tianyuan Temple in Lianyun Mountain.
Song Qian and Wang were kidnapped and sent to the local county yamen, and the county official couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the confession, because the Xuzhou chess case was a sensation and he had heard of it. The county magistrate knew that the case was serious, and did not dare to delay, so he immediately seized the existing belongings of Song Qian and Wang, and escorted them back to Xuzhou overnight. Lin Gui, the Xuzhou Taishou of that year, has been transferred to Guangxi, and the new Taishou is a man named Li Guangcheng. At this time, Song Qian and Wang's two criminals were escorted, so Li Guangcheng overturned the case and retried it, and the truth of the Xuzhou chess case was revealed to the world.
Unintentionally solved the Xuzhou chess case that year, Fang Guolian was in a very comfortable mood, and Fa Wu went all the way to Tianyuan Temple in Yunshan.
On the way, Fang Guolian and Fa Wu heard a news that Nurhachi of Manchuria in Kwantung had established himself as the emperor, established the Mandate of Heaven, and the country was called Dajin (known as Houjin in history), openly fighting against the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial court was mobilizing soldiers and horses to prepare to go out of the customs to fight. When Fang Guohuan heard this, he was taken aback, that Nurhachi had really done something big. Thinking of the earth phenomenon on Yuan Island in Haiti at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, the geo-qi in the northeast is showing a violent trend, and Nurhachi is really going to become a climate, Fang Guolian was stunned. War is going on again, and I can't help but be worried.
On this day, Fang Guolian and Fa Wu were walking on the road, and they heard someone behind them calling: "Fang Gong stays, Fang Gong stays." When the two of them turned around, they saw more than ten horses galloping in the distance, but when they got closer, they saw Shui Ming umbrella and more than ten subordinates in Hetang.
Shui Mingyu was overjoyed to see Fang Guolian, hurriedly dismounted sideways, stepped forward and saluted: "Finally caught up with the prince." ”
Fang Guohuan was surprised: "Water Hall Master, why are you in such a hurry?" Shui Ming umbrella said: "On the order of the head hall master of Xialian, I have come to welcome Fang Gong to meet him." "Sister Lian!?" Fang Guochuan was surprised: "Sister Lian is in a hurry to see me, what's the matter?" Didn't she and Mr. Sun Qi go back to Poyang Lake? ”
Shui Ming umbrella said: "After the group of heroes, the head of the hall and his party were supposed to return to the main hall of Hedao in Poyang Lake, but there was an urgent alarm that the Jurchens in the eastern part of the country were self-reliant, and the imperial court was ready to use troops outside the gate. In order to prevent accidents, the head of the hall and his party had already gone north, and the special dispatch came down to greet the princess and go north to meet him, saying that there was something important to discuss. When he was ordered to go to Baguio Mountain Villa to greet the public, Zhao Gong on the village said that Fang Gong had gone to Tianyuan Temple in Lianyun Mountain. I chased all the way along the way, but fortunately caught up. ”
"Oh?" When Fang Guohuan heard this, his brows furrowed, and he said in his heart: "Sister Lian and Brother Bu have already gone north, why do you call me to go?" Do you want to go out and fight the Jurchens? Deploy another Tianyuan chess array? No, there is a large army of the imperial court to go to crusade, and the Kanto region will be leveled in a few days, and Hetang should not intervene in the war. In any case, even if my sister is called, or there is something to discuss, just go once. ”
Thinking of this, Fang Guohuan said to Fa Wudao: "Senior Brother Fa Wu, Sister Hetang Lian has something to call me to go, I can't go back to Tianyuan Temple for the time being, please tell all the senior brothers, and see them again later." ”
Fa Wu knew that the relationship between Fang Guohuan and Hetang was extraordinary, and today Lian Qiying sent a hall master to welcome Fang Guolian, and there must be a major matter to discuss, so he said: "Since it is a friend of Hetang who invites the junior brother to go to the discussion, don't delay, the junior brother will go." I will tell Senior Brother Fayang of Tianyuan Temple, if they know that Senior Brother has survived from overseas, I don't know how happy they will be! See you later, the day doesn't matter. Fa Wu then said goodbye to Fang Guolian, Shui Ming Umbrella and others, and took the pearl plaque and returned to Zhuan Yuan Temple.
After sending Fa Wu away, Shui Ming Umbrella asked Fang Guolian to get into a carriage, which was very tightly covered on all sides, and there was enough food in it, so it was obvious that he was going to go far away. Then, Shui Ming Umbrella and the others escorted Fang Guolian and chose the road to the north.
Along the way, Shui Ming umbrella and others smashed their horses and whipped their horses, and walked very quickly, but they avoided the big city gathering, chose the town to play the tip, and left after a short break, without stopping. Fang Guochuan knew that they were in a hurry. I occasionally asked Zhuge Rong why he didn't participate in the group meeting. Shui Ming Umbrella said that Zhuge Rongtang was tired and inconvenient to go, so he has now taken Lian Qiying and his party to the north.
After crossing the Yellow River, out of the south and into Hebei, the weather gradually became cooler. Fang Guolian was idle, sleeping in the car every day. Asked when he would meet Lian Qiying and others, Shui Mingyu said, "It's soon, it's fast", and he became anxious.
On this day, Fang Guohuan woke up in the car, and he didn't know where he had been, so he pulled out the curtain and looked out intentionally or unintentionally. But seeing the lofty mountains in the distance, the majestic posture of the Great Wall stretches out. "The Great Wall!?" Fang Guohuan was taken aback, obviously outside the gate. "Water Hall Master!?" Fang Guohuan was surprised and hurriedly called the Shui Ming umbrella, but none of the people accompanying him answered him.
When Fang Guohuan hurriedly lifted the curtain of the car to look, the shadow of Shui Ming's umbrella was gone, and the people who accompanied him also changed their unfamiliar faces. Yihan shouted in a low voice: "Gong and sit honestly in the car, otherwise don't blame me for offending." Fang Guohuan was surprised, and sat down, realizing at this time that he had been kidnapped.
"What's going on?" Fang Guohuan sat stunned. After closing his eyes and thinking about things carefully, he realized that there were many suspicious things about the water umbrella along the way, and he always avoided the town and walked away, as if someone would find out his whereabouts. "What do you want to rob me of the Shui Ming Umbrella?" Fang Guochuan shook his head again, "Impossible, with Sister Lian here, Shui Ming Umbrella doesn't dare to do anything to me, is it ......?" Fang Guohuan suddenly remembered someone, "Could it be her?" ”
Fang Guochuan shook his head again and said, "No, how can she have contact with the people in the hall, how dare Shui Mingyu collude with her to seduce me." But I was attacked on the way, and they had an accident, and I was robbed by these people outside the car? No, I couldn't find it in the car at all, this was because they took the initiative to change people, and the water umbrella handed me over to another group. Who are they? Fang Guohuan was puzzled. Thinking about the plan to get out, there is nothing to be done.
After walking for a few days, I heard that there were people outside the car who kept answering, and I occasionally heard a person: "Please tell the master, the customs have been successfully transferred to the outside of the customs, and they will arrive soon." ”
Fang Guochuan understood it in the car, and said in his heart: "If Shui Ming Umbrella joined forces with someone to seek me, he said that he was ordered by my sister to pick me up, which is also false." It seems that something big has happened in the hall, and even my sister and Mr. Sun don't know what to do now. Fang Guolian's heart tightened, and he was very anxious.
On this day, the carriage came to a stop at a place. A man entered the car and shouted, "Offended!" He used a black cloth to cover Fang Guolian's eyes. Then he got out of the carriage, passed through the doorway and led to an upstairs, apparently to a large mansion.
After entering a house, Fang Guohuan was removed from the black cloth that covered his eyes, and two maids presented him with water and a face towel, and asked Fang Guohuan to wash his clothes. Since it came, it was safe, Fang Guolian was not surprised, washed his face, and used some tea and snacks. Seeing this, the two maids looked at each other and smiled, and Shi Li retreated, covering the door of the room.
Seeing that there was no one else in the house, Fang Guohuan hurriedly walked to the window, gently pushed the window sash, and saw that the courtyard downstairs was full of sentry posts, all of whom were dressed in strong clothes. Fang Guohuan returned to sit down, and secretly asked: "This place is heavily guarded, if it is impossible to escape, who will imprison me here?" What is the intention? Shui Ming's umbrella has betrayed, but he kidnapped me to blackmail my sister? What happened in the hall? Don't....... ”
Fang Guohuan suddenly remembered someone, and said in surprise: "Zhuge Rong! This matter must have been planned by Zhuge Rong, and if he did not appear at the group meeting, he must be planning a big conspiracy, which should be unfavorable to Hetang. But why did he take me away? Maybe that would make him feel safer. ”
At that moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and then the door was pushed open, and a man entered.
"Mu Hui!?" Fang Guohuan was startled. It was none other than Na Muhui. Mu Hui obviously ran over after receiving the news, gasping for breath at this time, looking at Fang Guohuan in surprise, tears rolling in her eyes with excitement. The two just looked at each other, silent for a while.
Fang Guochuan understood at this time, it turned out that Mu Hui had robbed him. However, at this time, looking at Mu Hui's surprised look when she saw her, she complained that she couldn't get up.
Fang Guochuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Miss Mu, you're okay." Mu Hui felt a little out of shape, held back her tears, and choked up: "You...... If you are really alive, where has your husband gone in the past few years? ”
Seeing that Mu Hui was so concerned about his own safety, Fang Guohuan was really a little moved, forgetting how he came here, and half-jokingly: "After the big whirlwind swept me away back then, I walked around the sky and the earth, and I didn't see a Western scenery, and then the whirlwind sent me back." When Mu Hui heard this, she said angrily: "It's unreasonable for the public to speak, do you know how people worry about you?" At that time, the life and death of the public were unknown, and the original party almost made me go back empty......"
Fang Guochuan realized his own situation at this time, interrupted Mu Hui's words, and said solemnly: "Don't talk about the things back then, I don't know why Miss Mu robbed Fang so much today?" ”
Mu Hui saw that Fang Guolian's tone had changed, and said: "When I went to sea, the Duke saved my life twice, who dares to rob you today, but the Duke made a promise back then, and after the ship returned safely, he would voluntarily follow me to Kanto, this time it was...... It was invited to the public. ”
"Really!" Fang Guochuan sighed and said, "I didn't expect that after many years, Miss Mu still can't forget this matter, why are you so troubled!" To you, Fang is really a useless person. ”
Mu Hui shook her head and said: "Gong's way of war games is no longer relevant to me now, I took great pains to invite you here today, I just want to prove whether Gong really survived from overseas, I really want to see Gong." "The words are very sincere and sincere.
Fang Guohuan knew that he had experienced a series of accidents on the sea journey back then, at least Na Mu Hui himself had no ill will towards him, and in the face of the current embarrassing situation, Fang Guohuan was helpless, and wanted to figure out the doubts in his heart, so he asked: "I don't know how Miss Mu colluded with Zhuge Rong of Shanghetang to make you join forces to kidnap me?" ”
Mu Hui was shocked when she heard this, and said in surprise: "How did Fang Gong know about this?" Fang Guojian said: "If you don't want people to know, unless you don't do it, the only one who dares to do it to me in the hall is Zhuge Rong, and the likes of Shui Ming umbrella can only be servited." ”
Mu Hui was surprised: "This matter is confidential, but it has also been guessed by the public. At this point, it doesn't hurt to say it. At that time, I was ordered by the emperor to lead people to infiltrate the original capture and kill the public, and avenge the death of tens of thousands of my soldiers in the Dushikou Tianyuan Chess. Later, he tossed and turned to the sea, but he was swept away by a whirlwind. After the ship returned, he didn't want to return empty-handed, so he changed his plan to join the house. ”
When Fang Guohuan heard this, he was surprised, and shook his head and said, "If you want to plot a reunion, Miss Mu is afraid that she doesn't have that ability." ”
