(If you want to hear more of your voices and receive more of your suggestions, search for the WeChat public account "qdread" now and pay attention to it to give more support to "Ming Dynasty Hexagram Master"!) When the old man heard Gongsun He say that he could receive a large sum of money tonight, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, nodded happily and said, "Great, if it's true, then I can thank you for your good words, go, I'll open the door for you." It doesn't hurt that you burn the paper slowly. If when you burn paper money, the noble man happens to come and give me the lock money, you stay and drink two cups with me, and it doesn't make sense to drink alone, hehehe. ”

Gongsun He likes to drink very much, but at this moment, he didn't have such thoughts, he just nodded and didn't speak, and didn't stand until he walked to the mortuary. The old man took out the key and opened the door.

Gongsun He saw that the mortuary was empty, with a few door panels. Among them, two corpses were placed on each of the two door panels next to the door, covered with white sheets. Thinking that the woman lying below was still with her last night, and now she has become a cold corpse, Gongsun He couldn't help but feel sad and sorrowful, and the old tears were all over and he staggered over.

He stretched out his hand tremblingly and gently lifted the white sheet covering the corpse, and saw the face clearly in the afterglow of the evening sunset. But it was the maid's, her neck had been cut off in half, her cervical vertebrae had been cut off, the blood had already dried up, and her head was turned over without the support of her cervical vertebrae, and it was miserable and white, and it looked very scary.

Gongsun He shuddered, and the sheets slipped off and changed back to the maid's face.

Gongsun He trembled and walked to the second plank, this corpse was of course the Apricot Blossom Girl's. Holding back his grief, he stretched out his hand to uncover the white sheet, and when he looked at it, he screamed in fright, took several steps backwards, and slammed into the wooden bed of the maid behind him. The force of the collision was too great, and the plank was originally separated by two benches, which was not very reliable, and all of a sudden it was knocked over, and the maid's body fell straight down from the plank and fell to the ground.

Yi Xingchen didn't know what made Master scare like this. Quickly took a look, and suddenly gasped, and couldn't help but take two steps back in fright.

It turned out that the originally beautiful head of the apricot blossom girl was cut into a V-shape, and in the cranial cavity of the head that was divided into two halves, the snow-white brain flower was stained with blood, red and white, and part of the brain pulp flowed onto the wooden board, accumulating into a small pool, like a broken tofu wrapped in tomato sauce. And the apricot blossom girl's eyes were half-open, staring straight ahead.

This look is indeed too scary, no wonder it scared the master like that.

The old man who was guarding the door saw Gongsun He knocking the maid's body to the ground, he was angry and anxious, and hurriedly said: "Oh, you be careful, if you say this, Cui Zhutou and they know, I must not be scolded to death?" Hurry, help me carry the body up, hurry. ”

The old man said as he set up the bench and arranged the plank, then grabbed the maid's two feet and shouted at Yi Xingchen to ask him to help carry the corpse.

Yi Xingchen saw that the master was standing there in horror, his thin body was trembling, and he wanted to go over to comfort him, but the old man who was guarding the door was anxious to ask him to carry the corpse, so he hurried over.

However, he has never touched a corpse since he was a child, especially when most of the girl's neck was cut off, because the cervical vertebrae have been cut off, the head has lost support, and after falling to the ground, the head is weirdly drooping on the back, and the appearance is even more terrifying.

He was really a little scared in his heart, and it really took courage for him to carry such a frightened corpse.

Just as he gritted his teeth and was about to go up to carry the corpse, there was a sound of hurried and noisy footsteps outside the door, and it seemed that many people had come, and one of them shouted loudly: "Old man Zhou, old man Zhou, where are you?" ”

When the old man who was guarding the door heard this voice, he was frightened, and he agreed in a panic, and then said to Gongsun He in a hurry: "Oh no, Cui Zhutou and they are here, this is miserable." You hurry up and put the corpse up, I'll go to meet it first, block it. ”

The old man stumbled out. Sure enough, when I saw Cui Zhutou coming in with a group of people, and when I saw the people coming, the old man who was guarding the door was even more frightened, because judging from his clothes, he turned out to be the most terrifying person, - Jinyiwei!

The old man bowed his waist and said, "I, I'm here." ”

Cui Zhutou glanced at him very dissatisfied: "I told you to look at the door of the mortuary, what are you doing in there?" The eldest master of Jinyiwei came to investigate the case, but you drank like this, what do you look like? ”

The old man nodded hurriedly and apologized, but stood in front of him and refused to give way. He wanted to buy a little time for Yi Xingchen and them to put the body in place.

Cui Zhutou's eyes widened, and he said, "Don't get out of the way, block the master of Jinyiwei, don't you want to die?" ”

"Yes, yes, damn the little ones, damn the little ones." The old man said as he grinded and chirped to the side. A cold light flashed in the eyes of the tall and burly official headed by the brocade guard, and he raised his hand and slapped it hard, knocking the old man out of the air, falling heavily to the ground, and two teeth spit out from his mouth.

The old man at the gate was so frightened that he quickly knelt up and kowtowed.

The Jinyi guard official didn't look at it, and strode into the mortuary.

What was happening outside, Yi Xingchen had already heard it in his ears. Sure enough, as the hexagram in his mind showed, the old man who was looking forward to was not a reward, but a slap in the face from a high-ranking official.

Yi Xingchen didn't carry the corpse, because although the maid's body was petite, the dead person would feel much heavier than a normal person, which was called dead and heavy. And the body of the apprentice he inherited now was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and his body was thin and thin, but at this time, Master Gongsun He stood in horror and didn't know what to do, and he didn't know to come over to help. It was too difficult for Yi Xingchen to carry such a corpse of nearly 100 catties onto the plank bed by himself. Especially in such a short period of time, coupled with the fact that the maid's body fell to the ground, there were many blood stasis on the ground at the wound on the neck, and these traces could not be eliminated at once. Even if the corpse is barely lifted onto the plank bed, the marks on the ground will still show the horse's feet, letting people know that the corpse has been moved.

Rather than not being able to hide it well, it is better to use this short time to think about how to deal with the current crisis.

Because, he had already heard Cui Zhutou outside say three words - Jinyiwei!

What kind of person is Jinyiwei, that is a spy of the secret service agency of the Ming Dynasty! Directly under the emperor's orders, he holds the power of life and death. To kill yourself is to trample an ant to death. Yi Xingchen has studied high school, studied history, and has watched a lot of film and television dramas and online novels, so of course he knows very well what kind of person Jin Yiwei is.

At this critical juncture, he calmed down and his head spun rapidly.

He decided to do a hexagram and told himself what to do. -- The person who came from the east came from the east. Due east belongs to the trigram. The person who came was an official of Jinyiwei, a person representing the public gate, and belonged to the Qiangua. From this, the great Zhuang hexagram of the upper shock hexagram and the lower dry hexagram is obtained.

A three-dimensional hexagram of a great trigram immediately appeared in his mind. At the same time, the first line of the hexagram, the first line and the third line, are constantly flashing. -- The flickering rhyme reminds that you should look for the direction of the hexagram from the relevant words of the Book of Changes.

The first words of the Great Zhuang Hexagram in the Book of Changes are: "Strong in the toes, signs, fierce, and Fu." "Meaning, the toes are strong, and the expedition is dangerous, but the prisoner can be captured.

Yi Xingchen broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, this sentence is talking about the army's expedition, what does it have to do with him now? I didn't figure it out for a while.

He immediately thought about the words of the third line, and wrote: "The villain uses the strong, the gentleman uses the reckless, chaste calendar, the sheep touches the domain, and the horns are broken." This means that the villain solves the problem by his strength, and the gentleman does not solve the problem by his strength, and when he asks questions, it indicates danger, and the ram touches the fence with the top of his horn, and the horn is stuck!

Thinking of the third epigram, his heart is full of joy, isn't this epithet written in front of him? If you want to forcibly escape, it will be dangerous, and it will be like a ramming the fence surrounding it with its horns, trying to break the fence wall so that it can escape, but the fence wall will get stuck in the horns and cannot move. Therefore, if you want to force a breakthrough, there is only one way out.

But how can you get out of the predicament in front of you if you forcibly escape?

Before he could think of an idea, those men had already appeared at the door of the mortuary.
