Yi Xingchen and Gongsun He both heard what the two of them were muttering outside, Yi Xingchen was amused in his heart, but Gongsun He couldn't laugh at all. While he was burning paper money for the Apricot Blossom Girl, he was worried about the fate of their master and apprentice. He has lived a long time, endured all the hardships of life, and it doesn't matter if he dies, it can be regarded as a relief, but the apprentice is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and at the beginning of his life, he has to accompany himself because of this incident and lose his life, he feels sad when he thinks about it. Turning his head to look at Yi Xingchen, he saw that he didn't care about helping to burn paper next to him, as if he didn't realize that danger was coming.

Gongsun He thought that the apprentice was completely because he saw that he missed the Xinghua girl, so he mentioned the mortuary to burn paper money to pay tribute, but he didn't expect to meet Jinyiwei, and it happened that he knocked over the corpse again, and it was his own fault to calculate it. The apprentices are all affected by themselves. He originally had the heart to say a few apologetic words to Yi Xingchen, but when he saw Yi Xingchen's unaware appearance, he swallowed the words again. I thought that it would be better to let him die in a stupora than to die in horror if he knew he was going to die.

The two burned the paper money and were stunned in front of a pile of ashes.

It was already dark, and the old man who was guarding the door wanted to light a lamp, but the two brocade guards at the door did not give orders, of course he didn't dare to do much, for fear of being slapped again.

Gongsun He and Yi Xingchen sat on the ground of the mortuary, next to them were two cold and terrifying corpses, both of them feeling cold all over their bodies and cold at the roots of their hair.

Yi Xingchen said loudly to the Jinyi guard at the door: "Light a lantern for the corpse, otherwise, what if the corpse is cheated?" ”

"Corpse?" The two brocade guards at the door were frightened, remembering the appearance of the corpse suddenly sitting up and jumping out, and suddenly their legs became weak, and they hurriedly shouted loudly to the old man hiding in the mortuary: "Hey! Hurry up and light two lanterns, and then light two lanterns, and when Lord Xiaoqi comes back, I will have to ask, do you want Lord Xiaoqi to ask things in the dark? Hurry up! ”

The old man at the doorman agreed, and in a moment he lit two lanterns and placed them under the two plank beds where the bodies were lying, and then he lit two more lanterns and hung them at the door of the mortuary and in the house. Only then did the mortuary brighten.

Yi Xingchen and Gongsun He both breathed a sigh of relief.

Listening to the change outside, I waited for a while, and finally, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the room, and Peng Qingchen, the official of the Jinyi Guard, asked loudly: "Is the master and apprentice of the fortune teller still here?" ”

The two brocade guards hurriedly bowed down and replied, "In the house, I have already burned the paper money, and I am waiting for you to come back." ”

As he spoke, Peng Qingchen's tall and burly body had already appeared at the door, and his expression looked very anxious, but when he saw Gongsun He and Yi Xingchen, he stood up again, and his face returned to that cold appearance.

Yi Xingchen still looked at him with his hands behind his back and didn't speak. The face is still the same plain and indifferent.

Peng Qingchen finally spoke, and asked Gongsun He and Yi Xingchen: "What your master and apprentice just said is indeed calculated through hexagrams?" ”

Yi Xingchen smiled and said, "Hearing what the adults said, they must have already caught someone, congratulations to the adults." ”

Peng Qingchen showed a rare smile and nodded.

Gongsun He had been trembling in fear, and when he saw Peng Qingchen, the little banner of Jinyiwei, come back, he was almost desperate, so he waited for Peng Qingchen to give an order, tied them up and put them on death row, and even killed the two with a knife, but no one redressed them. Unexpectedly, the situation has changed dramatically, and the official actually admitted that they had caught the murderer according to what the apprentice just said, which means that the apprentice's hexagram was actually accurate. Gongsun He couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, but he was full of doubts, how did the apprentice do it?

A slight smile appeared at the corner of Peng Qingchen's mouth, and then, the smile disappeared again, and his words were still as cold as a knife: "You master and apprentice will come with me." ”

Gongsun He's heart, which had already been put down, suddenly hung up again, looked at Peng Qingchen in horror, and asked tremblingly: "Go, where to go?" ”

A brocade guard next to him said sharply: "If you are told to go, you will leave, what nonsense?" ”

Peng Qingchen raised his hand and slapped the brocade guard, making him stagger, covering his mouth and looking at Peng Qingchen in horror, not knowing why he slapped himself.

Peng Qingchen glanced at a few of his subordinates: "Be respectful to Mr. Gongsun." ”

"Yes, yes!"

Several brocade guards shrunk their necks, they really couldn't understand that they, the little banner lord, had also been very vocal about Gongsun He before, and had ordered them to be arrested. Unexpectedly, after turning around, his attitude changed greatly, and he actually gave his subordinates a slap because of his subordinates' scolding Gongsun He, so they all knew that this slap was just to tell Gongsun He that he Peng Qingchen valued their master and apprentice very much, or that he had a request for them.

After Peng Qingchen's cold gaze swept over several of his subordinates, he returned to the faces of Gongsun He and Yi Xingchen, changed his smile, and said, "Mr. Gongsun, please, go to my yamen, I still have something to ask you for advice." ”

Mr. Gongsun was nervous in a cold sweat and trembling all over, but when he saw the scene just now, he knew that the Jinyi Wei official in front of him was inviting them to be guests, not to rectify them, so he felt a little relieved. However, dealing with Jinyiwei is tantamount to being accompanied by a tiger, and it may be eaten at any time, so Gongsun He was still full of nervousness, and nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, okay." ”

The two followed Jinyiwei out of the mortuary and came to the yamen.

In addition to several war horses, there is also a carriage parked here. Peng Qingchen motioned for Gongsun He's master and apprentice to get into the carriage, and they turned over a few war horses.

Yi Xingchen and Gongsun He hurriedly got into the carriage. The carriage creaked forward. At this time, Gongsun He had time to ask his apprentice Yi Xingchen: "What will they do to us?" Won't you want to punish our sins? ”

Yi Xingchen smiled and said, "Master, don't worry, if you want to punish the crime, you can't be kind to us." ”

This Gongsun He actually knew it, but he wanted to get confirmation from his apprentice's mouth, and he was relieved at ease. Because, he really couldn't believe what he could get from Jinyiwei, and he was thankful that he didn't have bad luck.

Gongsun He asked again: "You said that the woodcutter selling firewood next to the blacksmith in the north is the murderer, and there are two children quarreling, it seems that they are all right, how do you know?" ”

Indeed, in the memory of the apprentice inherited by Yi Xingchen, Master Gongsun He has never predicted a matter so accurately, because generally speaking, the fortune teller only calculates a rough idea, and can only say a general thing, so that he will not say the words to death, so as to make the hexagram appear more effective. Of course, Gongsun He, who has been calculating hexagrams for decades, knows this very clearly. He said it in general terms earlier, and that's the same idea.

According to what he said before, it is unlikely that the murderer will be found and captured, so there is only one possibility, that is, Jin Yiwei found the murderer according to the accurate location that the apprentice said, how did the apprentice know that it was so accurate? He didn't believe that it was calculated by the hexagram, the apprentice's hexagram was taught by himself, and he knew exactly what the apprentice had to do. He estimated that the apprentice should have known the result from other means, and said it under the pretense of fortune-telling.

Yi Xingchen heard Master ask how he knew about this, he had expected Master to ask this question, and he had also thought about what to say. At that moment, he said, "I calculated the hexagram." ”

"Nonsense!"

"It's true, I remember that Master said that the Gentu hexagram represents the people in the mountains, and the people in the mountains are not woodcutters. I saw that the wounds on the neck of the girl and the maid and the apricot were very similar to the murder weapon such as an axe, so I thought that it might be a woodcutter, so I said that the murderer was a woodcutter. ”

Gongsun He was dumbfounded, stammered and asked, "You, you deduced from this ............ Murderer...... Is it a woodcutter? ”

"Yes, Master, am I wrong?"

Gongsun He asked again: "Then, how do you know that the murderer is next to the blacksmith shop due north?" ”

"Kanshui belongs to the north in the direction, and the fire hexagram on the mutual hexagram represents a dry place with fire, I think of the north city There are not several blacksmith shops? So I casually said it was there. ”

"How do you know that there are two kids arguing?"

"This hexagram is the wind and the mountain gradually hexagram, moving in the beginning of the line, I remembered the "Book of Changes" This hexagram is written at the beginning of the line: 'Hong gradually dry, the boy is strong, there is a word, there is no blame.'" "It's about children arguing. That's why I said there would be two kids arguing there. - Master, am I not right to say that?
