Chapter 33: The Tragedy

Of course, Cui Zhutou knew Gongsun He, a fortune teller who had set up a stall on the street for decades, and he had also asked Gongsun He to calculate the hexagram before, so he said: "Why don't you go back to live if you have a home of your own?" Would love to live here. ”

Without waiting for Gongsun He to say, Huang Langzhong's voice came from behind him: "I asked him to live with me, he had a bad stomach yesterday, vomiting and diarrhea, I was worried that his condition would worsen at night, after all, he was an old man, so I let him live here, and he could be treated at any time if there was a problem." ”

Huang Haichuan still has some face in Tunzhou, after all, his medical skills are still good, and many people come to him for medical treatment, including Cui Zhutou is also a frequent visitor to his pharmacy, and those who have a headache and brain fever come here to grab side medicines, and the price is not less discounted. When Cui Zhutou saw Huang Langzhong, a smile appeared on his face, and he clenched his fists and said: "Shopkeeper Huang, I'm sorry, because there was a murder, so it's no wonder to disturb late at night." ”

Yi Xingchen also got up and got dressed, stood behind the master, and couldn't help but shudder when he heard Cui Zhutou say that there was a murder case.

Gongsun He was even more frightened, and hurriedly asked, "Murder?" What homicide? ”

Cui Zhutou smiled coldly and said, "What murder?" The apricot blossom girl you went to find last night was killed. and her maid, both of whom died in the house. Xinghua's savings, gold, silver, and jewelry were all robbed. Mr. Gongsun, tell me, what's going on? ”

Hearing that Xinghua was killed, Yi Xingchen was really dumbfounded.

At that time, in **, Master Gongsun He gave Xinghua the hexagram of asking for marriage, and the surface hexagram was very good, and it was a good fortune. But in his mind, there was a change, the three hexagrams of the hexagram, the lower hexagram and the upper hexagram were all gold, and they kept flashing, and the color was also black and bright, which was the main culprit. Now, he understood what was going on.

The hexagram represents the sword and other murder weapons, and flashes the black death breath that represents the great murderer, which clearly represents the disaster of blood and light, indicating that the seeker will have life worries. But to make such a terrible conclusion to solve the hexagram, unless such a result finally occurs, looking back at that hexagram will know that it should be solved like this, at that time, no one dared to make such a conclusion, even a person like Yi Xingchen who has already obtained the inheritance of the ancestor of the hexagram Guiguzi, does not have such courage.

If Yi Xingchen boldly told the Xinghua girls about this result at that time, they might be able to save their lives, but unfortunately, on the one hand, Yi Xingchen's trust in the hexagram in his mind had not reached a high enough level, and the interpretation of the hexagram was not sure enough, on the other hand, the Xinghua girls were driving them away at that time, and they didn't listen to Yi Xingchen's reminder at all. In the final analysis, since he could have insight into the opportunity from the hexagram, he could have helped avoid this result, but he still failed to save their lives, which made Yi Xingchen feel frustrated for a while.

Gongsun He heard Cui Zhutou's last sentence and asked him what was going on, as if he suspected that Gongsun He had committed this murder, and Gongsun He was so frightened that Gongsun He kept trembling. He hadn't woken up from the bad news of Xinghua's murder, and immediately began to worry about his fate again. In a hurry, he stammered and said, "Catch the head, I ......, I didn't kill them, I went with my apprentice to calculate a hexagram, and they entertained me for a meal...... Wine and rice, and then it came out. Because...... I was drunk, so my apprentice supported me...... When I came to Haichuan Pharmacy, Huang Langzhong gave me a medicine ......, worried that my condition would worsen at night, so I ...... Let me live in him. - I didn't kill them, so why should I kill them......? ”

Cui Zhutou waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, we have already inquired in the Cuixiang Building, and the turtle at the door and many girls have proved that your master and apprentice left the Cuixiang Building drunk, and then, the Xinghua girl also asked the kitchen to prepare hot water for her and she wanted to take a bath." After many people proved that after you left, Xinghua and her maid were still alive, so naturally you didn't kill them. The body was found at dawn when someone smelled blood in the house. When I opened the door, I found that they had been hacked to death in the house, that is, about half an hour from now, and at that time, the bodies were still warm, proving that they had not long been dead. However, after we checked, we know that you were the last guest she received, and there are many people who testify that there was a commotion in your house at that time, and Xinghua and her maid drove you away. I'm asking you, just to know, why did you quarrel at that time? Why did she let you go? ”

Gongsun He didn't know what was going on at that time, and he didn't pay attention to Yi Xingchen's white lies, so he never understood why Xinghua Girl would drive them away. Now that Cui Zhutou asked, Zhang Huang didn't know how to answer.

Yi Xingchen hurriedly said: "I didn't make any noise, Miss Xinghua asked my master to stay overnight, and we said that there was no money." So the apricot girl got angry and drove us away. That's it. ”

Cui Zhutou nodded, for this reason is still believed, because Gongsun He is a poor fortune teller, of course Cui Zhutou knows. And ** women only recognize money and not people, not to mention that Gongsun He is still a bad old man. However, Cui Zhutou still sneered and said: "After you were driven away by Xinghua, you became angry and ashamed, and secretly went back in the middle of the night to kill people to vent your anger, and robbed other people's money by the way?"

Gongsun He was so frightened that he almost knelt on the ground, and Zhang Huang said: "No ......, no, I didn't kill anyone...... I really didn't kill anyone......

He tossed over and over these two sentences, apparently already frightened to the point that his head was a little confused.

Yi Xingchen hurriedly said: "My master and I came out of Cuixiang Building, and we came directly to the pharmacy, and then we never left, you just said that after we left, Xinghua girl also took a bath, and many people proved that she was still alive at that time, so it is impossible for us to do the case, because my master and I have been sleeping here, and a room of people can prove it." ”

Lao Zhangtou and a few other guys also hurriedly nodded to prove it, and among them, a few guys also said that Gongsun He was sighing for a long time all night, and they couldn't sleep because of the noise. It proves that they have not gone out, and besides, the only door of Tongpu was tied at that time, and it was still held against the top door bar, and it was impossible for them to go out without alarming others, so it was absolutely impossible for him to kill him.

Hearing that Lao Zhangtou and his fellow men testified for themselves, Gongsun He was very grateful.

Yi Xingchen was so nervous that he was in a cold sweat, and secretly called luck in his heart, fortunately he had the foresight, and deliberately spoke loudly to attract the attention of others when he left, and found an excuse to stay in the pharmacy overnight and found a witness. If their master and apprentice had gone home to sleep before, it was really unclear what was going on, at least now that there was an alibi, it was impossible to suspect them.

And what made him make this decision was the sentence of the second hexagram: "If you don't go out of court, you will be fierce." This reminding him of this remark made him vigilant and made two wise decisions to avoid being caught in the murder suspect's circle.

Seeing that there were so many people who proved that Gongsun He's master and apprentice had not left the pharmacy at all, Cui Zhutou frowned again. He actually didn't believe that Gongsun He and his apprentice did it, because Gongsun He was a bad old man, and Yi Xingchen was still a weak half-grown child, and neither of them had the means to sneak into Cuixiang Building to do such a covert murderous and violent act. Because of the on-site investigation, Xinghua girl and her maid were brutally hacked to death, Xinghua's head was cut off in half, and the maid's neck was almost cut off, so cruel, he didn't believe that people like their master and apprentice could do it.

So, Cui Zhutou nodded and said, "Since there are so many witnesses to prove that you didn't leave the pharmacy, it shouldn't be the two of you who killed people, okay, let's bother and leave." ”

After that, Cui Zhutou arched his hand towards Huang Langzhong and left the pharmacy with a few catchers.

Seeing that they were gone, Gongsun He seemed to have twitched his muscles and bones, and after a while, he felt that his whole body was weak, his feet trembled, and he almost sat on the ground. Fortunately, Yi Xingchen next to him supported him and helped him back to the shop and sat down. After Huang Langzhong came in, he took his wrist to check his pulse and said, "Mr. Gongsun, they just came to inquire on a routine matter, you don't have to be nervous." ”

Gongsun He just stared blankly at the wall in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking. It seemed that there was no reaction to Huang Langzhong's words.
