Chapter 121: Getting to the Bottom of the Matter
Under the surprised gaze of everyone, he saw Shan Zhuokun's two eyebrows twisted into a figure-eight, and his expression became more and more uncertain.
"Oh, my immortal, you can say whatever you want." Yu Chi Baolin really couldn't hold back the emotions in his heart, pointed to the handwriting on the stone table that was about to be dried, and took the lead in opening his mouth, "What is this word?" ”
Shan Zhuokun nodded first, and then shook his head, still looking unpredictable.
"Yes, Shangxian, we are all friends, you have something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Li Yuanchang and Li Zhifeng glanced at each other, and smiled and gave Shan Zhuokun a reassurance.
Shan Zhuokun sighed and said, "Since the King of Han wants me to say it, then I will tell you bluntly." If there is something wrong in it, Lord Xu should not blame it. ”
Xu Guangcai nodded and said solemnly: "Master Shan said it directly. ”
"Okay."
Shan Zhuokun's eyes swept in front of the four of them one by one, and he saw that they were all looking at him with their necks stretched, looking like students listening carefully. He pointed to the word 'father' and patiently explained:
"You see, this character is composed of two parts, the top is the character 'eight', and the bottom is the word 'female' with a horizontal line. Through this word, I can see that Lord Xu is in a very troubled mood now, if I guessed correctly, it should be because of the previous Ling Zun incident. You want to get rid of the shadow of the past, but you are powerless and don't know what to do, right? ”
Xu Guangcai looked at Shan Zhuokun in surprise, because he was deeply influenced by the hundred schools of thought since he was a child, so although he lived in the Tang Dynasty, where the theory of ghosts and gods was prevalent, he didn't have a deep understanding of this theory of word measurement, and even felt that it was just a means for scammers to cheat money. But I didn't expect that Master Shan would hit the target today, but a simple word saw his heart so thoroughly. In this way, although this word measurement seems to be tricky on the surface, in fact, there is a reason for its existence.
"Master Xu, you haven't said that I'm right, are you?"
Shan Zhuokun waited for a while, and when he saw that Xu Guangcai did not answer his question, he asked again.
Xu Guangcai got up and saluted him, admiring: "Master Shan is really clever, and he is very right. ”
Li Yuanchang and the others saw that Xu Guangcai did not react, and at first they were a little skeptical about the accuracy of this word measurement. When he heard this at this time, he was also surprised and delighted, and he was talking about it, and he put forward a calculation request to Shan Zhuokun.
Shan Zhuokun waved his hand and teased: "Don't be too obsessed with brother, brother is just a legend on the rivers and lakes after all." Lord Xu, let's get down to business, I haven't finished saying this yet. Actually, there is a second meaning to the word you wrote. ”
When everyone heard this, they were even more curious. I can't imagine that this handwritten word can be changed and so many annotations can be made. If this is the case, then listen carefully and what kind of interpretation will be made.
"Please don't hesitate to give me advice."
An extremely strange light suddenly appeared in Shan Zhuokun's eyes, as if a fox was facing the food that was about to arrive, cunning and cunning to the extreme.
"Lord Xu, I have already said just now, the part below is a female character. If you guess correctly, the murderer of General Xu should be a woman, I don't know if it is or not? ”
At this point, his gaze suddenly sharpened. But just a sudden glance is enough to make people shudder and shudder.
Xu Guangcai looked at Shan Zhuokun and couldn't help but shudder. With a pure heart, he really couldn't figure out whether this was caused by providence, or the other party's ingenious arrangement, deliberately tricked and lured him to the bait.
"Lord Xu......" Shan Zhuokun asked in surprise when he saw that the other party looked like he was not giving up.
Li Yuanchang glanced at Shan Zhuokun deeply, and at this time he had completely understood that Fang Cai's word measurement was just a hook from the other party, and the purpose was to deceive the truth from Xu Guangcai. In this case, why don't you take this opportunity to burn another fire so that the truth can be revealed to the world as soon as possible.
"Lord Xu, this word measuring game has been seen before, but it's just a child's play, so you don't need to take it too seriously." Li Yuanchang smiled and comforted, "As for the matter of General Xu, this king will not force you." If you want to say anything, you can come to this king at any time. Come, this king will replace wine with tea today, and I will toast everyone here. ”
After that, Li Yuanchang stood up, took the teacup, and clinked glasses with everyone.
"Lord Xu, could it be that you still have any concerns?"
After everyone sat down, Shan Zhuokun saw that Xu Guangcai still looked confused, so he asked with concern.
"Hey, Master Shan doesn't know. It's not that the official doesn't want to tell the truth, it's just that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized. Now that my father has been laid to rest, if he talks about the cause and effect of this matter, I am afraid that it will disturb his soul. However, if you don't say it, every time you think of your father's death in vain but no one is in charge, Guangcai is also uneasy. That's why we're in such a dilemma. ”
Xu Guangcai said slowly while turning the teacup in his hand.
Shan Zhuokun glanced at the people around him, and patiently persuaded: "Lord Xu, I know that you are a filial son. However, this filial piety can also be divided into two types: loyalty and filial piety and foolish filial piety. I hope you can be a true loyal and filial person and clear your father's grievances. To tell you the truth, a few days ago, I met General Xu in your mansion with General Wei Chi and the county lord of Zhifeng, and his condition was not very good. But don't worry, I've already gone over it, and now he's gone to the Nine Heavens to practice. ”
Yu Chi Baolin is coarse and fine, and when Li Yuanchang and Shan Zhuokun were talking, they had been listening quietly with Li Zhifeng, looking for the right opportunity in their hearts. As soon as he heard this at this moment, he said:
"That's right, General Ben did see General Xu. He wants me to tell me that you must tell the murderer so that we can get justice to him as soon as possible. ”
Xu Guangcai's body shook, and his expression suddenly became excited. He had just learned that Shan Zhuokun was extremely capable through the word test, but he didn't expect the other party to do so many things for himself silently. If this is the case, what else does he have to worry about?
Thinking of this, Xu Guangcai stood up, clenched his fists with both hands, and fell to the ground with a slam at Shan Zhuokun.
Shan Zhuokun was taken aback, hurriedly got up to help him, and said with a smile: "Lord Xu, you and I are colleagues, so there is no need to be so polite." ”
Unexpectedly, Xu Guangcai insisted on refusing, but still said gratefully:
"Master Shan is the benefactor of my Xu family, and this ceremony should be accepted."
Shan Zhuokun nodded helplessly, he saw that the other party was so stubborn, so he had no choice but to let go of his hand and return the salute in the same way.
When Li Yuanchang saw the two of them behaving like this, he didn't feel angry and funny, so he also stood up and reached out to help them up in turn.
"You two don't want to be so polite anymore, it's better to quickly tell the ins and outs of General Xu's murder clearly. Lord Xu, in a few months, the caravan of the Western Turks will enter Chang'an. If this matter is not resolved, it will certainly affect the relations between the two clans, and then there will be no room for turning back. ”
Xu Guangcai didn't expect this matter to be so serious, and seeing that King Han's expression became solemn, he hurriedly said:
"King Han rest assured, Guangcai will know everything today."
With that, the three of them sat down again and talked about the matter.
In a moment, under Xu Guangcai's narration, what happened on the day General Xu was killed was revealed.
