Chapter 355: Fortune Teller
"What's the matter, you say." Mo Wuwen said to Wang Gan.
After narrating the ins and outs of the case, Wang Jian said, "Do you think that the fortune teller will also come from the future, so he knows that Xie Dalang will die on the stone steps running to Tiangang Tower?" ”
"Quite possibly."
"Mage, you are from a thousand years later, do you know who is the murderer of Xie Dalang?"
"Impossible, after a thousand years, who can remember the ordinary person Xie Dalang who died on Longming Mountain?"
"Yes, mage. Just like the "Calculation Chart", it can only calculate big things, not small things. Wang Jian nodded and said.
"What is the "Calculation Chart", isn't that called pushing the back of the map?" Li Xiaomai has never heard of "Calculation Diagram".
"Memorizing words, taboo heavenly machine. It's not something that ordinary people and I can talk about, so we can only find some similar words instead. ”
"Xie Dalang's death is very strange." Silence interrupted their pointless discussion.
"What should we do according to the teacher's thoughts?" Wang Jian thought that there should be something special about the mage, so he asked him for help on how to solve this difficult case.
"Let's go to Longwushan Village to inquire about the news." Mo Wuwen is also wondering if the fortune teller is from the future, if so, how did he come from, and if there is a way to go back.
Wang Jian asked his subordinates to find some clothes for Mo Wuwen to change into and then go to Longming Mountain, except for the occasional pedestrians passing by on weekdays, Longming Mountain is a little deserted, and today the road to Longming Mountain is full of traffic, crowded with noisy crowds.
"Get out of the way, give way, the magistrate is coming~~" The officers and soldiers drove the crowd to open a road so that the magistrate's carriage could pass.
"Master, why are so many people going to Longming Mountain?" Li Xiaomai lifted the curtain and secretly glanced outside the carriage and said.
"Look at the excitement, everyone rushed over to see the excitement when people died." Li Xiaohe said it without thinking about it.
"It's impossible to go all over the fun, the owners of those carriages and horses don't seem to be ordinary people, either rich or expensive." Mo Wuwen also glanced out of the curtain and said softly.
The officers and soldiers opened the way, and Wang Gan's carriage soon came to the village at the foot of Longming Mountain, only to see the crowd at the entrance of the village crowding and shouting non-stop.
"I came to the entrance of the village first, why should I give it to you." At the entrance of the village, a man wearing a white turban, a white linen coat, and white trousers pushed the carriage backwards.
"Get out, who in Shunzi City dares to stop my Wang Tianba's way!" The man covered in silk and satin, with a face full of meat, and a merchant who looked like a man poked his head out of the carriage and scolded the man in white.
"I don't care if you're a bastard or a king or something, get out of the way for me today!" The man in white thumped his hand into the carriage.
"I didn't have time to deal with you today, you had to look for death. Call me! The merchant shouted, and the vicious family members rushed towards the man in white with knives and guns.
"Stop!" All those who came on horseback shouted at them.
The noisy crowd didn't dare to be arrogant when they saw that they were coming, and put away their swords.
"Why are you making a lot of noise?" Du Tou pulled down his face and asked them.
"Official. I really don't want to cause trouble, I have to go to the fortune teller. Shang Jia saw Du Tou coming, quickly got out of the carriage and said with a smile.
"If you want to tell fortunes, I can't tell fortunes, maybe my life is ten times better than yours!" When the man in white saw Du Toulai, he was no longer afraid to scold Shang Jia.
"Well, what kind of fortune do you have to calculate, do you have fifty taels of silver?" Shang Jia's contemptuous eyes threw at the man in white, and the corners of his mouth were filled with a hint of pride.
"Who said it would cost fifty taels of silver?" The tone of the man in white weakened significantly.
"Fortune telling costs fifty taels of silver?" Du Tou asked in surprise.
"Official, the price offered by Mr. Shenshu is fifty taels of silver at a time. If you don't have money, you will die of that heart, and Mr. God will not help you calculate it in vain! Shang Jia said to Du Tou, but he deliberately accentuated his tone so that the man in white could hear it.
"Fifty taels of silver? The ox I lost was worth twenty taels of silver. The man in white's expression suddenly became depressed and lost.
"Go away, go away, let the magistrate pass." The head of the capital separated the merchant from the self-clothed man so that he ignored them and took the carriage carrying the magistrate to the village.
The fortune teller is in the village, Zhang Yuanwai's house for people to tell fortunes, even if it is fifty taels of silver to tell the fortune, but people are still endless, and there is a long queue outside Zhang Yuanwai's house.
Seeing the arrival of the officers and soldiers, everyone gave way one after another, and the family members immediately ran to inform Zhang Yuanwai. When Zhang Yuanwai heard that the magistrate was coming, he also hurried out to greet Wang Gan, "The magistrate, the big frame is here." Xiaomin is late, please ask the county lord to be exempted. ”
"Zhang Yuanwai, you are so bold to cooperate and deceive! Why did the fortune teller ask for fifty taels of silver? Wang Zhan shouted at Zhang Yuanwai with his official authority.
"Lord Zhixian. Mr. Shensuan, but he collects money from people to eliminate disasters and prolong life. Zhang Yuanwai bowed his waist to Wang Gan, and kept laughing.
"How?"
"Xie Dalang. Mr. Divine Reckoning showed him a way out. It's a pity that he didn't listen to Mr. Shensuan's words before he finished his yin life and died violently halfway. ”
"Didn't Xie Dalang run to Tiangang Pagoda as the fortune teller said?" Wang Gan's eyes stared directly at Zhang Yuanwai, wanting to expose his lies.
"Mr. Shensuan asked Xie Da Lang Yin to run from the foot of Longming Mountain to Tiangang Tower, but Xie Da Lang Yin started running from his own house, and Xie Da Lang's house still has a long way to go to the foot of Longming Mountain, so Xie Dalang died suddenly when he ran halfway up the mountain." Zhang Yuanwai seemed to have been prepared to gush endlessly.
"Thank you gods for saving your life." It was another gentleman wearing silk and satin, his face was full of spring breeze, his hands kept stroking the pendant on his chest, and he hurriedly walked out of Zhang Yuanwai's house, seeing the faces of the officers and soldiers in front of him, his face instantly stiffened, and his smile became solidified, and he said hesitantly, "Official, I'm just here to tell fortune~~"
"Huh?"
"God said that as long as I wear the pendant, I will turn evil into good fortune in three days." The hand of the gentry never left the pendant.
"What calamity do you have, what evil do you have?" Wang Zhen felt that something was wrong with the person in front of him.
"Nothing, nothing, Lord Zhixian." The gentry found that he was in a hurry to bypass the officers and soldiers and get out of the village.
"Give my daughter back!" Suddenly, a thin man rushed out of the crowd and grabbed the gentry's clothes to prevent him from leaving.
"What's the matter with your daughter!" The gentleman shook off the thin man's hand and left.
"Wait!" Wang Jian stopped the gentry, turned to the thin man and said, "You say, go on." ”
"Last year, the villain was seriously ill and his family was poor, and he wanted his daughter to be fed and clothed, so he sent him to Jia Yuan's house to be a maid who did not sign a deed of sale. Now that I have recovered from my illness and want to take my daughter back, Jia Yuanwai has pushed back and refused to let me see my daughter. Someone secretly told me that my daughter had already been poisoned by Jia Yuanwai. Lord Zhixian, you have to make decisions for the small people~~" The thin man knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Wang Gan.
"You're spewing blood!" The gentry yelled at the thin man.
"Shut up, how do you explain!" Wang Zhen scolded Hao Shen, and Hao Shen was weak all over his body, and it took him a long time to squeeze out the words, "He, his daughter has already escaped~~"
"People escape, why don't you report to the official!"
"I, I, I~~" Hao Shen squeezed a few words for a long time.
"Someone, arrest me and put me in prison!" Wang Jian shouted majestically.
"Lord Zhixian." Hunters, who were investigating the situation in the village, came from the other end of the crowd with the brothers.
"Liar, fortune teller, you liar! He also said that he could eliminate the disaster for me. The gentleman, who was arrested and was about to be arrested, yelled at Zhang Yuanwai.
"God didn't lie to you, and you will be able to solve the problem in three days. It's no wonder that you can't escape God's punishment for doing things that hurt nature and reason, so you can meet the magistrate! Zhang Yuanwai also yelled angrily at the gentleman.
"Take away, take away." Wang Jian frowned at Hao Shen, waved his hand, and said to Du Tou.
"Lord Zhixian, do you want to let Mr. Shenshu make a divination for the adult?" Zhang Yuanwai thought that Wang Jian also came to tell fortunes and spat out.
Mo Wuwen nodded and blinked at Wang Gan on the side, and Wang Jian said to Zhang Yuanwai with understanding, "Okay!" ”
"Wait a minute, the villain will prepare, and God will be there soon." Zhang Yuanwai immediately twisted his fat body and trotted into the house.
"Lord Zhixian." Wang Zhu quickly walked to Wang Gan's side and said: "The fortune teller and Zhang Yuanwai used Xie Dalang's death to declare to the outside world that the fortune teller can eliminate disasters and solve problems for others, and once a person's life is calculated, he has to collect fifty taels of silver from people, and he partners to collect money. ”
"Fortune teller, who else did he calculate before he solved Dalang's life?" Wang Jian pondered for a moment and asked Wang Zhukuai.
"Wang Xiaoer at the head of the village."
"Who is Wang Xiaoer?"
"Wang Xiaoer is lazy and lazy, and lives a poor life every day relying on the charity of the villagers. My lord, what do you mean~~" Wang Zhukuai guessed Wang Gan's thoughts smartly, but he still pretended to be confused and asked the magistrate.
"Let's go find Wang Xiaoer, Wang Zhu, you lead the way."
"Lord Zhixian, Lord Zhixian ~~" Zhang Yuanwai, who walked out of the door, hurriedly ran over and shouted Wang Gan.
"I looked around and told the fortune teller that I would be right away. Let him prepare well~~" Wang Jian said meaningfully.
Zhang Yuanwai looked at Wang Jian who was far away, and immediately frowned, and when he turned around and stepped into the threshold, he almost fell down accidentally.
Wang Xiaoer's home was in tatters, the door was made of a few broken wooden boards, and the windows were stuffed with dry straw to keep out the wind. Wang Zhu was approaching the door, and Wang Xiaoer's ecstatic laughter came from inside the house, "Hahaha, I, Wang Xiaoer, have made a fortune~~"
Wang Zhu quickly pushed open the creaking door, Wang Xiaoer looked at Wang Zhu with frightened eyes, and quickly put the silver in his hand into his arms, and shouted tremblingly, "Who!" ”
"The king of Shunzi City catches quickly, Wang Xiaoer honestly said where the silver was stolen!" Wang Zhu quickly pulled out his sword and pointed at Wang Xiaoer to scare him.
"Catch, catch fast, big man." Wang Xiaoer stammered nervously and said, "Yes, it was sent to me by Zhang Yuan, my~"
"Zhang Yuanwai gave you silver for no reason? I don't think you want to tell the truth. Someone, take him away! ”
"It was really given to me by Zhang Yuanwai, the fortune teller calculated that I would meet a great nobleman, and Zhang Yuanwai was my nobleman."
"Wang Xiaoer, you are still lying, it seems that you are really ready to go to prison!" Wang Zhukuai threatened Wang Xiaoer again.
"Catch Lord quickly, I said, I said~" Wang Xiaoer said with his head drooping.
