Chapter 26, Yizhuang in the State of Turtle
According to the usual practice, Fu Jiezi has to visit King Guizi, but now Guizi is very chaotic, and it is difficult for the old translator to get the above transmission within a while, so he can only ask Fu Jiezi to wait for a few days in Bash to make plans after the situation in Quli City stabilizes.
Fu Jiezi happened to investigate the death of his father-in-law Yin Jiuzhong. After discussing with Yuan Tong, he called the old translator and asked about the situation of that year. The old translator has been here for more than 20 years, and he should know everything five or six years ago.
The old translator seemed to be a little taboo and unwilling to tell that story. Fu Jiezi asked again and again, and then he reluctantly said, "I don't remember clearly. It seems that a messenger of the Han Dynasty came to visit His Majesty one winter five or six years ago, but he died inexplicably on the night of the Chinese dynasty. His Majesty was very panicked. At present, he ordered someone to investigate the reason, but in the end, he couldn't find anything, so he had no choice but to do it.
Fu Jiezi said, "What happened to the Han mission later?" The old translator said, "Your Majesty did not dare to offend the kingdom of heaven. At present, he restrained the corpses of the Han people and sent them to Dunhuang after cremation according to the customs of the kingdom of heaven. He also sent people to send documents to explain the whole thing."
Fu Jiezi saw that Lao Yi's long face flashed and seemed to hide something. He said, "Is that all? Did you find out how the Han delegation died? The old translator said, "According to the witch doctor's investigation, the Han mission died of witchcraft, as if he had been killed by witchcraft. We really don't know how to win the witchcraft."
Fu Jiezi felt sad in his heart. After Yin Jiu went to the Western Regions, he and Yin Yin always hoped that he could come back as soon as possible. Yin Yin was alive and full of curiosity about the Western Regions that no one had ever been to. She wanted to wait for her father to come back and tell her the story of the Western Regions. As a result, it was just a bad news. Yin Jiuzhong died in the Western Regions, and Yin Yin also died because of the Xiongnu's invasion of the northern county.
The old translator said, "In Quli City, there is a Han Yizhuang, which was repaired by a merchant who spent a lot of money a few years ago. The Han spiritual positions in it are all from foreign people who died in foreign places, and the Han Dynasty mission is also among them. If the messenger wants to go, the old man can lead the way."
Fu Jiezi's heart trembled when he heard this and said, "Really? There is an old official to lead the way.
Yuan Tong sighed, "I didn't expect to see my brother now. This trip to the Western Regions is worth dying!" Su Wei abducted him and seemed to be very afraid of the word death. Yuan Tong just smiled and said, "Xiaofu, take the sword with you. Let's meet my old brother together."
The Yuan Wujian in Fu Jiezi's hand is a relic left to him by Yin Jiuzhong. Of course, he wants to take it with him and let the old translator lead the way. Now it's noon, Fu Jiezi asked Lu Ming to guard Bash here and call Huo Yi. He and Yuantong and his wife, together with Huo Yi, four people, took a team of more than a dozen bodyguards and were about to leave. Su Qiaoer rushed to the road and blushed to follow. Fu Jiezi was very surprised and said, "What are you going to do?"
Su Qiaoer bit her lip and said, "He is Yin Yin's father..." She spoke like a mosquito. Su Wei knew what she meant and couldn't help laughing. Yuan Tong was surprisingly serious at this time and said, "Then let's go together. If more people go, there will be more yang." Huo Yi looked at Su Qiaoer and looked very frustrated.
The old translator made people prepare a carriage. He was on the front shelf. Seeing that he was a little old, Fu Jiezi pulled him to sit in the middle and went outside to drive. According to the old translator, he walked for about half an hour to a dark mountain in the west of Quli City. In the corner of Qiu, I saw a Han-style pavilion, which was not very large, but also spacious, but the businessman who built the village obviously did not know feng shui, and the first place was a little wrong.
The old translator got off his horse and entered Yizhuang first. After a while, a man who looked like a Han man suddenly ran out crookedly. He looked 50 years old. His beard and eyebrows had long been white, and his face looked very pale. Obviously, he was a patient.
The old man looked very excited, and his voice trembled a little. Fu Jiezi heard that his voice should be from Jiuquan and Zhangye.
The old man asked about Fu Jiezi's identity, and Fu Jiezi said, "The dead Yuan Wuzhen is my father-in-law. What do you call the old man?" The old man said, "My surname is Bai and my name is Fu. I am from Jiuquan. I began to do business on the Western Region Road many years ago. Later, my three sons and caravan died inexplicably, and I couldn't even find a skeleton. The little old man lived in Guizi to find the whereabouts of his sons. Six years ago, Yuanwu Zhenren came to Guizi and once rested in the house. He helped the little old man figure out, and the little old man found his sons' bones here, but they had been buried deep in the ground, and a large number of Han people died at the same time. A few days later, I went to worship Xie Yuanwu. I didn't expect that the real person had been killed. Hey, there was nothing to pursue in my life, so I built Jianyizhuang here to surpass the Han people who died in Guizi.
Fu Jiezi couldn't help but respect him and said, "Fubo, have you lived alone in Guizi for so many years?" Bai Fu said, "Exactly, the little old man's family is all dead, and it's meaningless to go back to Jiuquan, but they live here. My lord, you have to see the real person's spiritual position in it.
Fu Jiezi's heart moved and hurriedly went in with Yuan Tong and Huo Yi. Su Villa walked behind Su Qiaoer and entered Yizhuang. Sure enough, he saw that there were more than 100 spiritual positions in it. The spiritual positions of "the real Yin Jiuzhong Spirit of Yuanwu in the Great Han Dynasty" were in the middle, and several spiritual positions surnamed Bai were lined up in turn. It could be seen that It is the genealogy of a family, and on the other hand, there are some Han names when he made an envoy with Yin Jiu, but there are also some unknown spiritual positions. Probably some unknown people died here, and Bai Fu put him up.
Fu Jiezi respectfully worshipped the spiritual throne three times, and specially asked Bai Fu for a complete set of worship props, offering incense, burning paper and sprinkling wine. Fu Jiezi's mood has dropped to the extreme. Yin Jiuzhong and he are also teachers and friends, and they are Yin Yin's father. The relationship between the two is much more unhending than that of their father.
Yuan Tong and Huo Yi also worshipped one after another. Instead, Yuan Tong took off some wine and said a word to Yin Jiuzhong's spiritual position. Su Qiaoer also obediently accompanied Fu Jiezi to kneel aside. What Fu Jiezi did and what she did, which made Su Wei want to laugh but dare not laugh.
Fu Jiezi asked Bai Fu again about the cause of Yin Jiuzhong's death. Bai Fu said, "This Guizi country has never given a definite explanation. When the little old man arrived that day, the Guizi people had cremated the bodies of the Han people, but according to the little old man's guess, it could only be the poisoned by the Xiongnu. Now the Huns are still in Quli City. You should also be careful. These Huns are never soft when killing people.
Fu Jiezi listened and tightened his fist and said, "Fubo, please make it clear."
Bai Fu said, "That year, there happened to be a large number of Xiongnu in the city, and the little old man also heard about the people in the city. That night, a group of Huns with blood pots swaggered to Ba Shi and found the dead the next day. The people did not dare to say this kind of thing, so the witch doctor decided that he was killed by the corpse. The cause of death is unknown, and the matter will not be settled.
Fu Jiezi had already thought so preconceived before entering Guizi. Now according to Bai Fu's statement and the trend of Guizi, this matter is very likely. Guizi's eagerness to burn the body is the best proof. The Han people were killed by the Xiongnu in Guizi territory. Guizi's country suffered a lot. The Han Dynasty could not afford to offend, Hungary The slave did not dare to offend, so he had to come to an end.
Yuantong was a little angry and said, "Brother, why don't you count yourself a fortune? Sooner or later, we will avenge these Xiongnu thieves!" Bai Fu said, "The real person has calculated the danger before. It seems that it was calculated with three copper coins. The little old man also persuaded the real person. The real person said that state affairs were the first priority, and he still went to the city."
Fu Jiezi was very sad when he heard this and couldn't help thinking of Yin Jiuzhong's immortal wind bones.
After a while, Huo Yi said, "Master, blood is paid for. Since it is a poisonous hand of the Huns, we should not be late, so we went to kill those Huns' messengers." Fu Jiezi's eyes were red and said, "Without my father-in-law's hatred, these Huns will never be allowed to leave Guizi alive. Have you found a place now?"
Huo Yi said, "The people sent by Brother Lu have not found a specific place yet. We can act as soon as there is a reply."
Fu Jiezi hummed and said, "Let our people get ready and just wait for an order." Bai Fu listened for a while and asked, "Is your excellency looking for the Huns?"
"Exact." Fu Jiezi inadvertently answered.
Bai Fu said, "It's a pity that the Xiongnu mission has left Quli City today." Fu Jiezi was shocked and said, "What? Left?" Bai Fu said, "Yes, before dawn this morning, the Xiongnu mission was escorted out of Quli City and went north by the army of Captain Cheng."
Fu Jiezi stood up and turned out to ask the old translator, saying, "Have you received the order from the above that we should stay in Bash for a while?" The old translator was a little embarrassed and said, "I haven't received such an order. I just listened to the above order."
"So, the Huns left this morning, but the old official reported the letter last night?" The old translator sighed and said, "It is the responsibility of the old man. Please forgive me." Fu Jiezi was a little angry when he heard this. Since he was sent out of the city by Captain Cheng's army, it was too late to chase him now. It seemed that Guzi was afraid that the Han people would have a conflict with the Huns, so he deliberately delayed the time for the Han people to enter the city and let the Huns to take the Han people back into the city after they left.
Otherwise, after saying this, a small school of Guizi came to see the old translator, saying that His Majesty had received the biography of the old translator, and "immediately" invited the envoy of the Han Dynasty to enter the palace.
Fu Jiezi secretly laughed that the play was good and did not fail, but he couldn't say anything about it. At this time, he bowed to the spiritual position of Yin Jiuzhong again and took everyone back to Bashi. He dressed up with Yuantong and Huo Yi and went to the palace under the leadership of the primary school to meet the "can't wait" king of turtles. .
