    Seeing the bamboo slips and silk books scattered on the ground, Zhou's conscience moved. He left his two men by the door, raised his legs and walked towards the nearest scattered bamboo volume.  He bent down to pick up the bamboo album and unfolded it. It began with the long chapter Gongye from The Analects of Confucius:

    The son said to Gong Yechang: "She is worthy of being a wife. Even though she is in prison, it is not her crime." He gave her to his son and his wife.

    Zhou Liang grinned, with a hint of sarcasm on his face.  Although he was a minor official, he had studied under a teacher and studied scriptures when he was young. He had skipped Confucian scriptures, so he still knew something about the allusion of "Confucius married a daughter".

    It is said that Gongye, a disciple of Confucius, could read the language of birds. Because he used the language of birds to help an old woman find the body of her son, he was framed as a murderer and imprisoned.  But Confucius knew his character and pitied him for being wronged, so he married his daughter to Gong Yechang.

    Regarding Gongye¡¯s interpretation of bird songs, many scholars in the past did not know it and often avoided talking about it.  Confucian classics also adhere to Confucius' principle that "the Master does not speak: strange, powerful, chaotic, and divine", and do not talk about these strange things.

    But nowadays, the annotations of the classics are complicated, and the explanations of the doctrines are also in their own way. Ordinary people often only listen to the teachings from different angles, and it is difficult for a knowledgeable person to write a single scripture.  For example, on the matter of "Confucius marrying a daughter", some people specifically linked it with the matter of "Confucius marrying a brother and a daughter" and made a grand argument, arguing that Gongye had been punished, but Nanrong was a man of great achievements in troubled times.  Able to protect oneself.  Comparing Gongye Chang and Nanrong, Nanrong was obviously better than Gongye Chang. Confucius married his daughter to Gongye Chang and his brother's daughter to Nanrong just to avoid suspicion.

    Zhou Liang could be said to sneer at this far-fetched, cumbersome and tasteless elaboration of doctrine.  In his opinion, Confucius married his daughter to Gongye Chang and his brother's daughter to Nanrong. In the eyes of ordinary people, this was an ordinary thing.  Confucius may have considered it based on the match of talent and appearance or age, but in the words of these great Confucian doctors, this ordinary thing has become an allusion to the sage's self-denial, humility, and deliberate avoidance of suspicion.

    The knowledge of Confucius mentioned by these people is just as hypocritical as they themselves, trying to please others by grandstanding, gaining false fame, and not learning anything!

    Just when Zhou Liang was thinking about it and was about to throw the bamboo scroll aside, "Wow!" A slight baby cry suddenly sounded.

    "Who is here?"

    Zhou Liang's short and fat body became flexible in an instant, and like a frightened rabbit, he jumped behind the two men guarding outside.

    He scanned the inner room with gold and silver everywhere and the ink-stained couch with vigilance. He listened carefully, but the baby's sound that had just startled him stopped abruptly. He walked suspiciously outside and looked at the two men.  asked:

    "Did you hear the sound of a child crying just now?"

    ¡°¡€¡€¡€¡€¡€¡€¡€¡±

    Facing Zhou Liang¡¯s somewhat strange inquiry, Zhou Liang¡¯s two men looked at each other and shook their heads in confusion.  Looking at Zhou Liang's strange expression, their scalps immediately became numb. Thinking of the old, young, women and children who had just been found dead in the lobby, they suddenly felt the cold wind blowing and their whole bodies felt chilly. They didn't seem to have heard anything just now.  But seeing Zhou Liang's huge reaction, could it be that those women and children who died tragically turned into ghosts to avenge him?

    The worship of ghosts and gods has existed since ancient times. The Yin people respected gods and led the people to serve gods, putting ghosts first and then etiquette.  Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the theory of immortals has been popular. Emperors of Qin and Han Dynasties never tired of seeking immortality and asking questions.  Nowadays, the wind of witchcraft is getting stronger, and the ghost ways are getting more intense.  Although there is no such thing as the King of Yama, the eighteen levels of hell, and the response to reincarnation, the Lord of Mount Tai and the return of the soul to the wormwood are believed by the public nowadays.

    Although these two men of Zhou Liang were Dongying soldiers sent by Li Ru, they had seen blood on their hands, so they were not courageous people.  But the people in Liangzhou worship witchcraft and divination, and work with ghosts and gods. It is late at night, many people are tired, and their minds are unstable. They become confused when they are startled, and they dare not speak.

    Seeing these two men who were already timid, Zhou Liang secretly cursed them as useless people.  He had no choice but to shake his sleeves and recite "Zi Buyu: strange, powerful, chaotic, and divine" in his mind. His ankles kept shaking, but he forced himself to calm down and walked into the inner room again.

    Standing in the inner room again, Zhou Liang took a deep breath and tightened the bamboo scroll in his hand. Although he had a rough life and was passionate about money and sex, he was cynical about those high-ranking celebrities.  The great scholar was disgusted.  But it has to be said that some Confucian classics are still deeply rooted in his bones.

    Confucianism respects ghosts and gods and keeps them at a distance, and advocates putting people first. "If you don't know life, how can you know death? If you don't know human affairs, how can you know ghosts." Zhou Liang also believed in this, so although he was a little guilty in his heart, he was more confident than Chongxin.  For Guishen's subordinates, it was much better. After the shock, they still calmed down.Look at this somewhat weird inner room again.

    Zhou Liang had a gloomy face, looking and recalling. He became more and more certain that he had heard correctly. The cry that sounded in the inner room was the cry of a baby. He searched around, and suddenly a light flashed in his eyes, and he turned his attention to  On one wall of the inner room.

    The original gilt-carved wooden screen in the inner room was broken into two parts and was moved away. One part fell on the floor in front of the wall, and the other part was blocked in front of the wall, intentionally or unintentionally protecting this side of the wall.

    Zhou Liang's eyes flickered. He drew his sword in his hand and waved to the two men outside the door to come in. He gently instructed them to open up the two broken screens. Then he came closer to examine the wall. The more he looked at it, the more unusual it became.  Holding the hilt of the sword upside down with his right hand, he tapped the wall a few times tentatively.

    "Dong, dong, dong," a sound sounded from the wall. Zhou Liang took a few steps back and pointed his sword at the wall again. His withered and yellow face was filled with a sinister look at the moment. He shouted:

    "This side is a compound wall, and there is a hidden danger in the wall. Go get the iron pestle and break the wall open!"

    After saying that, Zhou Liang deliberately stepped on his feet again, making sounds like shouting and moving objects. He shouted viciously:

    "Who is hiding in the wall? If he doesn't come out, I will have the wall broken!"

    After shouting, there was still no movement on the wall.  Zhou Liang snorted coldly, with a tense face, and waved his hand to let his men break through the wall to catch people. For a moment, the two men could not find tools such as iron pestles, so they could only lift a corner of the broken screen and all came out.  With a loud voice, he hit the wall.

    "Don't break the wall, we are willing to surrender!"

    After a few hits, although it only made a noise and failed to break the wall, the woman's pleading voice finally sounded from the wall. Although the voice was small, Zhou Liang, who listened carefully, could still hear the other party's tone.  Trembling in his heart, he sneered, waved his hand to retreat, held the sword in his hand, and shouted loudly:

    ¡°Since you are willing to surrender, get out of the wall quickly, otherwise¡ª¡ª¡± (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
