27. a compound wall

Seeing the bamboo slips and silk books scattered on the ground, Zhou Liang's heart moved, leaving his two subordinates by the door, and he raised his legs and walked towards the nearest scattered bamboo book. He bent down to pick up the bamboo booklet www.biquge.info pen "Fun" and unfolded it, and the beginning was the Gongye long story in the "Analects":

Zi is the chief of Gongye: "But the wife is also." Although it is in bondage, it is not its sin. "With his sons and wives.

Zhou Liang grinned, a hint of sarcasm appeared on his face. Although he is a small official with a knife and pen, he also studied with a teacher when he was young, and he studied the scriptures at once, and he dabbled in Confucian scriptures, and he still knew a thing or two about the allusion of "Confucius marrying a girl".

It is said that this Confucian disciple Gongye Chang could read bird language, and was framed as a murderer and imprisoned for helping an old woman find her son's body in bird language. But Confucius knew his character and took pity on him for being wronged, so he married his daughter to Gongye Chang.

Regarding the matter of Gongye's long interpretation of bird language, the first Confucians often avoided it. The Confucian classics also insist on Confucius's principle of "Zi is silent: strange, force, chaos, and god", and do not talk about these strange things.

However, nowadays, the annotations of scriptures are cumbersome, and the exposition of righteousness and reasoning is also a family. Just like on the matter of "Confucius marrying a daughter", some people specifically linked it with the matter of "Confucius marrying a brother and daughter", and made a big argument, thinking that Gongye Chang had been punished, but Nanrong was a good ruler and could protect himself in troubled times. Comparing Gongye Chang and Nan Rong, Nan Rong is obviously better than Gong Ye Chang, Confucius married his daughter to Gongye Chang, and married his brother's daughter to Nan Rong in order to avoid suspicion.

Zhou Liang can be said to scoff at this far-fetched, cumbersome and tasteless interpretation of righteousness. In his opinion, Confucius married his daughter to Gongye Chang and his brother's daughter to Nanrong, which was an ordinary thing in the eyes of ordinary people. Confucius may have considered it from the point of view of talent and appearance or age, but in the mouths of these great Confucian doctors, this ordinary thing has become an allusion to the sage's self-denial and humility and deliberate avoidance of suspicion.

The Confucius knowledge in these mouths is as hypocritical as themselves, grandstanding, and fame, so don't learn it!

Just when Zhou Liang was about to throw this bamboo book aside after pondering, "Wow! A slight baby cry suddenly sounded.

"Who's here?"

Zhou Liang's short and fat body instantly became flexible, and like a frightened rabbit, he jumped behind the two subordinates guarding the outside at once.

He scanned the golden-silver, ink-stained inner chamber vigilantly, and listened with his ears sideways, but the baby's voice, which had just startled him, stopped abruptly, and he walked out suspiciously, and asked his two men:

"Have you ever heard a child crying?"

“・・・・・・”

In the face of Zhou Liang's somewhat strange inquiry, Zhou Liang's two subordinates glanced at each other and shook their heads in confusion. They looked at Zhou Liang's strange expression, and their scalps immediately tingled, thinking of the old and young women and children in the corpse hall just now, they suddenly felt a cold wind, and their bodies were cold, and they didn't seem to hear anything just now, but seeing Zhou Liang's big reaction, could it be that those women and children who died tragically turned into ghosts to take revenge on themselves?

Ghosts and gods worship in ancient times, Yin people respect gods, lead the people to serve gods, first ghosts and then rituals. Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the theory of immortals has prevailed, and the Qin Emperor and Han Wu have asked for immortals, and they are never tired of it. Nowadays, it is even more witchcrafting, and the ghost road is getting hotter. Although there is no such thing as King Yama, the eighteenth layer of hell, and the reincarnation of the reincarnation, the king of Mount Tai Mansion and the soul of Artemisia are now respected by the public.

Although these two of Zhou Liang's subordinates were Dong Ying's soldiers sent by Li Ru, they had also seen blood in their hands, and they were not courageless people. But the people of Liangzhou, worship witches, ghosts and gods, it is late at night, people are tired, unstable, and they have become six gods and no owners at a glance, and they dare not speak.

Seeing these two already timid subordinates, Zhou Liang secretly scolded for rubbish. He had no choice but to shake his sleeves, silently reciting in his heart, "Zi is silent: strange, force, chaos, god", his feet and neck kept shaking, but he forced himself to calm down and re-entered the inner room.

Zhou Liang, who was standing in the inner room again, exhaled deeply, and he tightened the bamboo scroll in his hand, although he had been bumpy for half his life, and he was keen on money, and under the cynicism, he was disgusted with those high-ranking celebrities and Confucians. But I have to say that for him, some Confucian classics are still deeply rooted in the bone marrow.

Confucianism respects ghosts and gods and stays away, advocating people-oriented, "unknown life, unknown death, unknown personnel, unknown ghosts." Zhou Liang was also convinced of this, so although he was a little weak in his heart, it was much better than his subordinates who believed in ghosts and gods.

Zhou Liang's face was gloomy, and he thought about it while looking at it, and he became more and more sure that he had heard it right, and it was the cry of a baby that sounded in this inner room, and he searched around, and suddenly his eyes flashed, and he turned his gaze to one of the walls of the inner room.

The original gold-painted woodcut screen in the inner room was broken in two and then artificially removed, one falling on the floor in front of the wall, and the other blocking in front of this wall, intentionally or unintentionally covering this wall.

Zhou Liang's eyes flickered, he drew his sword in his hand, waved his hand to signal the two subordinates outside the door to come in, and softly instructed them to swing the two broken screens, and then approached to take a closer look at the wall, the more he looked at it, the more unusual he felt, his right hand held the hilt of the sword upside down, and knocked a few times tentatively at the wall.

"Knock knock" The sound of the hollow wall sounded, Zhou Liang instantly took a few steps back, aimed his sword at the wall again, a withered yellow face was full of gloomy color at the moment, he shouted and said:

"This side is a compound wall, and there is residual abuse hidden in the wall, you wait to get an iron pestle and break the wall!"

After speaking, Zhou Liang deliberately stepped on his feet again, making a loud shouting and moving animal parts, and he shouted viciously:

"Whoever is hidden in the wall, if you don't come out again, I will break the wall!"

After shouting, the wall still didn't move. Zhou Liang snorted coldly, his face tightened, and with a wave of his hand, he let his subordinates break through the wall and arrest people, and for a while, the two subordinates couldn't find tools such as iron pestles, so they could only lift the corner of the broken screen, and they made a sound in unison, and crashed towards the wall.

"Don't break the wall, I'll wait for the will!"

After hitting it a few times, although it only made a sound, it failed to break through the wall, but the woman's plea finally sounded in the wall, although the voice was small, but Zhou Liang, who was listening carefully with his ears sideways, could still hear the trills in the other party's tone, he sneered, waved his hand to let his subordinates retreat, carried his sword in his hand, and shouted loudly:

"Since you are willing to descend, you must get out of the wall as soon as possible, otherwise-"
