As soon as the old man heard about the death of the prince in Huxian County, he became excited and hurriedly said: "You mean Prince Wei Liu Ju, it was more than ten years ago, and he also passed by here at that time, riding a white horse, and his two young sons on horseback. Later, when he heard that he was discovered in Hu County and the government wanted to arrest him, he committed suicide. ”

Du Tuo hurriedly asked, "Uncle, how did you know that it was Prince Wei who was begging you for saliva at that time?" ”

The old man smiled and said: "I definitely didn't know at the time, I saw that he was dressed very noblely, and at a glance I knew that he was not an ordinary person, and then I heard what those refugees said, I guessed that the person who begged me for water at that time was the prince of Wei, Liu Ju, and those refugees said that he was a good person, and he was framed." ”

Liu Yi finally heard another voice commenting on his grandfather, Prince Wei, Liu Ju, and felt that the views of the common people were more pertinent, so he thanked the old man a little.

After the three of them said goodbye to their father-in-law, they continued to the east and rushed to Huxian.

In fact, after Fenglingjin, there was the boundary of Huxian County in front, and the three of them quickly arrived at their destination according to the guidance of the old man.

Huxian is also a strategic place, south of the Qinling Mountains, east of Hangu Pass, west of Tongguan, is the ancient soldiers must fight for the place, but it is also the main artery of traffic, here extends in all directions, or the gathering place of merchants gathered, goods are prosperous.

The three teenagers came to Huxian County and found Ruxiang City according to the address provided by Zhang He. There is a bustling market with people coming and going. Since they left Baling and came to Baqiao, Huxian Ruxiang City is a more lively market they have seen, which is more prosperous than Xinfeng and Huayin. The three of them found an inn in Ruxiang City and stayed temporarily.

The store is also hospitable, seeing that the three teenagers arrived, and there was no adult to accompany them, so they took care of them more thoughtfully, Liu Yi had heard Zhang He say that the tomb keeper Cai Jinran lived in Dongguan Village, so he asked the store if he knew a person named Cai Jinran in Dongguan Village.

It is estimated that Cai Jinran is too famous, and the shopkeeper immediately said: "I know, he was like you when he was young, he liked to travel the rivers and lakes with a sword, I heard that he was very good at swordsmanship, and he also traveled to many places, and was later recruited as a doorman by Prince Liu of Wei; Why did Prince Wei hide in the spring dove, I heard that he just wanted to find him, of course, there is another guest here Prince Wei, a rich businessman named Wang Bin here, Prince Wei wanted to contact them at that time, intending to make a comeback in the future. ”

After listening to the store's introduction, Liu Yi hurriedly asked, "Then where is this Cai Jinran now?" ”

The shopkeeper continued: "When Prince Wei hid in the house of a weaver in the spring dove, I heard that the weaver family lost the lawsuit and hid in Chang'an City, and then thanks to the prince Wei to help him avenge his grievances and come back, when he met the fleeing Prince Wei in the spring dove, he took him in at home; Helplessly, the family was too poor, and Prince Wei saw that it was not possible to hide in his house all the time, so he entrusted him to find his doorman, the rich businessman Wang Bin; Who knew that Wang Bin's housekeeper was too greedy for money, so he actually ran to report to the official, causing Prince Wei to be chased and killed by the housekeeper, and he had no choice but to commit suicide by hanging the beam, and the family that took him in and Prince Wei's two young sons were also killed, and the worst was Wang Bin, who was implicated and killed. ”

The shopkeeper said so many things in one breath, proving that Prince Wei was so famous that he was rounded up here and committed suicide, and it should be said that he was a household name.

Liu Yi had been quietly listening to his grandfather's story, Zhang Pengzu and Du Tuo couldn't bear to interrupt, and they were quietly listening to the shopkeeper's story: "Later, there was a big change in this matter, after the prince committed suicide, the corpses of him and his two young sons were collected by Cai Jinran, and the background at that time could only be secretly buried; Soon after, the imperial court said that it would come to bury Prince Wei and his two young sons, so Cai Jinran dug up the bones of Prince Wei and his two young sons, and buried them in the evil spirit, and he often went there to guard the tomb. Really loyal; I heard that Prince Wei asked the mat weaver at that time, did he know Wang Bin and Cai Jinran, Wang Bin is too famous in our place, most people know him, this Cai Jinran was not very famous at that time, so the mat weaver did not know him; If Prince Wei's letter had been sent to Cai Jinran first, then Prince Wei would have been saved, hey, destiny is like this. ”

Hearing another voice commenting on his grandfather, Liu Yi had fallen into deep thought. After their story, he already had a certain understanding of his grandfather, and gradually knew that what he heard in the West Market should be wrong, and Gongsun Yu, Lao Gonggonghe, and the shopkeeper were just talking about it, and their statement was right.

Zhang Pengzu's perception may be a little different from Liu Ai's, of course, Zhang Pengzu and Du Tuo also have different perceptions, Zhang Pengzu is even more inclined to Liu Ai's side, so he asked: "Shopkeeper, what happened to the housekeeper who reported the news?" ”

The shopkeeper saw that the three teenagers were still listening to him with relish, so he said: "That housekeeper has received a lot of bounties at the beginning, and the two headhunters who came to round up the government have heard that they were still marquis at the beginning; Later, I don't know what happened, and they were all arrested and killed. ”

"All killed?"

Seeing that the store had put on a posture of killing his head, Du Tuo asked in surprise.

The shopkeeper nodded and said: "Yes, they were all killed, just over there in the bazaar, when I killed the head, I was as big as you are now, so I squeezed to the front to see, although the bloody scene is still remembered after more than ten years, it is too terrifying." ”

"I really can't figure it out, how can I first reward and then kill the head, which song is this?"

Du Tuo still couldn't figure it out, and the shopkeeper continued to explain: "At first, Emperor Wu thought that Prince Wei was cursing him and giving him a headache, but later it was found out that he was sowing discord by traitors, so Emperor Wu regretted it, and I heard that he also built a Sizitai in Chang'an, and then ordered someone to bury Prince Wei. ”

"Understood, understood..."

Du Tuo nodded after listening, of course, he understood more about Liu Ai, Gongsun Yu had mentioned it to him a little before, but he didn't say it explicitly, and Zhang He never told him about his grandfather, today he heard the shopkeeper say, he finally understood what was going on, it seems that this rough wandering, a lot of gains.

After listening to the shopkeeper's story, Zhang Pengzu hurriedly asked: "Shopkeeper, may I ask how to get to Dongguan Village, we are from Chang'an, and we are entrusted to hand over a letter to Cai Jinran." ”

The shopkeeper smiled: "Actually, I have long seen that you are from Chang'an, you are not ordinary rangers who wander the rivers and lakes, judging from your speech and demeanor, you should be from the sons of the eunuch's family, but you are not so squeamish compared to those sons." ”
