Chapter 357: The Missing Fortune Teller

Wang Xiaoer heard that someone was going to tell a fortune, and stopped curiously, turned around and saw Xie Dalang squeezing from the crowd to the fortune teller.

"Fifty taels of silver." The fortune teller didn't look at Xie Dalang, and lowered his head and said.

"This, I don't have so much money~" Xie Dalang scratched his head and said.

"Mr. Divine Calculation. You will tell the fortune of Xie Dalang again, and I will invite you as a guest. Eat and drink every day, serve you, and let you tell fortunes in Zhangjiazhuang! Zhang Yuanwai waved his hand and asked the family to hand the fortune teller a pot with a good daughter red.

Wang Xiaoer saw the fortune teller sitting behind the two torches lit for him when he was telling his fortune carefully, looking at Xie Dalang carefully, there were too many people, Wang Xiaoer didn't know what the fortune teller said, but he saw Xie Dalang's face became pale, trembling, took out the silver from his arms and handed it to the fortune teller.

More and more people flocked over to see the excitement, and Wang Xiaoer left the crowd and trotted home. Wang Xiaoer looked at Wang Jian after recalling the incident and said, "Lord Zhixian, the silver is really not stolen, it was given to me by Zhang Yuanwai~"

"Wang Xiaoer, if you continue to stay at home, you will treat us as if we haven't seen you." Wang Jian said and walked out of Wang Xiaoer's house with Wang Zhu.

"Thank you Lord Zhixian~" Lord Zhixian didn't take away his silver, Wang Xiaoer was so happy that he hurriedly thanked Wang Gan.

"The king catches quickly. You find two people to hide around here, in case someone outside Zhang Yuan comes and kills people. ”

"Lord Zhixian, it seems that Xie Dalang was also killed by a fortune teller, one is to let everyone know that his fortune teller is accurate, and the other is to let people spend money to ask a fortune teller to solve problems for them."

"Zhang Yuanwai and the fortune teller are a group of people, and the fortune teller is not a person who will come from the future at all." Li Xiaomai was a little depressed when he heard the conversation between Wang Zhen and Wang Zhukuai, it seemed that it was impossible to find a fortune teller to travel back thousands of years.

"Yes, it's two liars." Li Xiaohe was also a little disappointed to follow them.

"Let's go and see how they end." Mo Wuwen was curious about how Xie Dalang died.

Wang Jian and Wang Zhu quickly returned to Zhang Yuanwai's house, Zhang Yuanwai was already waiting at the door, Wang Jian hurriedly ran over when he saw him and said, "County Commander, County Commander, fortune teller is gone~~"

"Come on, arrest Zhang Yuanwai for me!" Wang Jian gave an order, and the catchers immediately stepped forward and grabbed Wang Yuanwai's arm.

"My lord, why did you arrest me? It's not me who tells fortunes~" Zhang Yuanwai shouted desperately.

"Where's the fortune teller?" Wang Zhuai yelled loudly at Zhang Yuanwai.

"My lord, I don't know a fortune teller. I also saw him in the village the day before yesterday~" Zhang Yuanwai still kept quibbling.

"Lord Zhixian~" Another catcher hurriedly ran over and muttered in Wang Gan's ear.

"Bring people in!" Wang Jian shouted loudly.

The frightened Wang Xiaoer came over with the support of the catcher, and his trembling fingers gasped at Zhang Yuanwai and said, "You, you want to kill people~~~"

"Wang Xiaoer, what nonsense are you talking about!" Zhang Yuanwai glared at Wang Xiaoer with vicious eyes.

"Zhang Yuanwai, don't deny it. Who do you see they are? Wang Jian waved his hand, and the two family members outside Zhang Yuanwai drooped their heads and were arrested.

"You shit!" Zhang Yuan was extremely angry and frightened the family.

"Master..."The family members didn't dare to say much.

"Lord Zhixian, everything has nothing to do with me, I didn't let them kill people." Zhang Yuanwai was so anxious that he was sweating all over his head, and he was busy defending himself.

"Master, it was you who ordered us to kill Wang Xiaoer." Seeing that they were about to be punished, the family members also hurried to clear up the crime for themselves.

"You are talking nonsense, you are together to extort my money. I'm not convinced, I want to see the prefect. Zhang Yuanwai saw that the evidence was conclusive, so he played Lai to see his backers.

"Escort Zhang Yuan to the yamen for interrogation." Wang Zhen turned around and prepared to leave.

"The prefect is my friend." Zhang Yuanwai struggled and did not want to go.

"Zhang Yuanwai, no matter whose friend you are, don't say it's the prefect, even if the emperor's relatives kill someone, you have to pay for your life!"

"I, I, I just let the family scare Wang Xiaoer, and I didn't let them kill people." Zhang Yuanwai's tone weakened significantly.

"What about Xie Dalang?"

"Xie Dalang is destined to die, who let him start running from the foot of Longming Mountain to Tiangang Pagoda when he is not in power."

"Zhang Yuanwai. Wang Xiaoer had already confessed that you and the fortune teller had partnered to cheat people out of money, and Xie Dalang was obviously poisoned to death. If you do not confess the whereabouts of the fortune teller, the crime will be increased by one degree, and you must die. ”

"Lord Zhixian, Xie Dalang's death is really not my fault, everything is handled by that fortune teller. I'm just greedy for money, how can I kill people. ”

"Then you don't hand over the fortune teller!" Wang Zhukuai was very impatient to hear Zhang Yuanwai's quibbles, so he yelled at him.

"I, I don't really know where the fortune teller is." Zhang Yuanwai said helplessly.

"You!" Wang Zhukuai's angry eyes glared at Zhang Yuanwai.

"Really, really. The fortune teller felt bad when he heard that the county magistrate said that he was going to go around, so I sent someone to seal Wang Xiaoer's mouth, but when I came back, the fortune teller disappeared from the room. ”

"A man as big as a fortune teller goes out of the room, and there are so many people in your house, will no one see it?" Wang Zhukuai's tone was obviously disbelief.

"Really, the fortune teller suddenly disappeared in the room, don't believe it, ask the family guarding the door in the village and the villagers guarding outside the village if anyone saw the fortune teller out of the village." Zhang Yuanwai blushed anxiously and explained to Wang Zhukuai.

"We really didn't see the fortune teller out of the room." The family members who were guarding the door of the fortune teller also confirmed Zhang Yuanwai's words.

"Are there any secret passages in the room?"

"No, there is really no secret passage in the room, what good is it for me to lie to you? Not half a word of what I say is false, and if I have half a lie, there will be five thunderstorms in the sky. ”

"Say! How did you poison Xie Dalang. Wang Zhu quickly grabbed Zhang Yuanwai's collar and shouted.

"No, it's not me who poisoned me, it's the fortune teller who poisoned Xie Dalang~" Zhang Yuanwai's tone suddenly fell.

"Say! What the hell is going on. ”

Zhang Yuanwai recalled that moonlit night (after Zhang Yuanwai sent Wang Xiaoer away, he let Xie Dalang into the room and said: "Let the fortune teller tell you how to deceive those ignorant villagers tomorrow, and beat the reputation of Mr. Shensuan, and the rich gentry of Shunzi City will rush over and be deceived." ”

"What Mr. God commands, how does the little one do. Zhang Yuanwai. Xie Dalang hunched his waist like a pug, smiling at Zhang Yuanwai and the fortune teller.

"Tomorrow when I tell my fortune, I will say that you are in great trouble, but you can be saved by listening to me."

"You say, you say."

"I will pick a day for you to step out of the house at the right time, and before the time comes, you remember that you will run to Tiangang Pagoda and you will turn evil into good fortune."

"It's as simple as that?" Xie Dalang thought to himself that such a scam was too simple, who would believe it.

"If it's just like that, I guess it can only be a deception to children." The fortune teller seemed to see through what Xie Dalang was thinking.

"That~~?"

"When you run to the Tiangang Tower, you swallow this potion and you will faint for a while, and then you will wake up with just a sip of water, making people think that you are walking back from the ghost gate." The fortune teller took out the sachet from his arms and dangled it in front of Xie Da Fat's eyes.

"This~~" Xie Dalang was a little suspicious, what should I do if this thing was poisonous and poisoned myself.

"Hehe, don't worry, it's absolutely fine. Come on, let me try to show you~" The fortune teller smiled and handed the sachet to Xie Dalang.

"This~" Xie Dalang looked at the fortune teller at a loss with the sachet in his hand.

"Come, pour some powder out of the sachet and put it in my hand." The fortune teller stretched out his hand to Xie Dalang.

Xie Dalang untied the sachet and carefully poured out some powder in the fortune teller's hand, the fortune teller looked at Xie Dalang and said, "Look, I sucked the powder and fainted, wait for half an hour you pour water for me to drink." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the fortune teller put his nose on his hand and took a hard breath. Suddenly, the fortune teller was crumbling, swaying from side to side, and suddenly collapsed to the ground.

"Ah, fortune teller, he's not going to die!" Xie Dalang screamed at Zhang Yuanwai, it was okay to cheat money, but he didn't want to kill people at all. Although this thing was done by the fortune teller himself, he asked Xie Dalang to do it, but the fortune teller died and understood that Dalang could not escape the relationship.

"It's okay, don't worry. How could a fortune teller poison you, let alone himself. The fortune teller is just doing this to reassure you that he will not harm you, and what good will it do us to poison you to death, right? We have to be rich, not murderous. Zhang Yuanwai came over and patted Xie Dalang on the shoulder to calm him down.

Half an hour later, Zhang Yuanwai pointed to the water tank in the corner of the wall and said to Xie Dalang, "Pour some water for the fortune teller and let him wake up." ”

"Zhang Yuanwai, is it okay to drink?" Xie Dalang is careful in case the water is the antidote, and if the wine he brings with him at any time can save the fortune teller, it means that what the fortune teller said is true.

"Yes, water and wine are fine."

Xie Dalang took the flask and opened the fortune teller's mouth to pour the wine down, only to hear the fortune teller's throat grunt in the blink of an eye. "Cough, cough, cough" After coughing, the fortune teller opened his eyes and stood up to Xie Dalang and said, "I didn't lie to you~"

"Hey, hey." Xie Dalang smiled a little awkwardly.

"Xie Dalang, you have done a good job, you can't easily trust others in anything. Remember not to be too slow for the villagers to hold you when you run out of the house, you won't be able to reach Tiangang Pagoda in time, and our plans will be in vain. The fortune teller told Xie Dalang.

"Certainly, Mr. Divine Calculation." At this time, Xie Dalang was a five-body cast man who admired the fortune teller.

"Okay, you go back first, you take this money first, and it won't be less beneficial to you afterwards, but remember to do what the fortune teller said." Zhang Yuanwai took out five taels of silver from his arms and gave it to Xie Dalang.

"Wow, thank you." Xie Dalang's greedy eyes were fixed on the silver, thinking that it was enough for him to spend a lot of time.

As soon as Xie Dalang went out, Zhang Yuanwai gave a thumbs up to the fortune teller and said, "High, high, Mr. Divine Arithmetic is really a clever calculation!" ”
