The fortune teller old man is called Liu Banxian, who is famous in this place where the poor are gathered, and he will go to him to see a feng shui when a wedding and funeral are opened, and ask a hexagram to combine the eight characters.

Zhuang Rou found Liu Banxian at a teahouse on Huarong Road, he was in his forties, with a rare goatee, sitting in front of the stall and touching his beard with his eyes closed, shaking his head and listening to the people in the teahouse talking.

She walked over and sat down on the bench in front of the stall, and said, "Master, I want to test the word." ”

Liu Banxian quickly opened his eyes, and when he saw the person sitting in front of him, he was stunned. He smiled with some trepidation: "The villain has seen the adult, I don't know what the adult wants to test?" ”

"Didn't you call you a blind half-immortal? How can you see that you are not blind. Zhuang Rou looked at the cloth banner standing next to him, on which the words blind and half-immortal were clearly written.

Liu Banxian got up and arched his hand and explained: "My lord, my master is a blind man, and the name passed down is the blind half-immortal, and it is not easy for me to change it." ”

Zhuang Rou didn't embarrass him, picked up the pen next to him and dipped it in ink, and wrote on the paper, "Sit down, I heard that you are very accurate in measuring words and fortunes, so help me measure a word, and see if I can get by this year." ”

In the face of this famous Zhuang Dian history in Hongzhou, Liu Banxian was very nervous, I don't know what she is doing here, she will not really come to test words, right?

"Okay, please test the master how I will pass this year." At this time, Zhuang Rou had already finished writing and pushed it in front of him with a smile.

Liu Banxian hurriedly sat down, and saw that on the yellowed coarse paper, there was a big dead word written on it. He was shocked, and quickly recalled the bad things he had done during this time, and suddenly remembered the thing he did half a month ago.

At this time, Zhuang Rou tapped the table lightly and said with a slight smile: "The master has calculated something, just say it bluntly." I heard that Mr. is clever, he can lead to ghosts and gods, and he can distinguish between good and bad fortunes, and people's life and death are under the control of the master. ”

"No!" Liu Banxian was so frightened that he was about to kneel, but he really came for the Li family, and he knew that he wouldn't covet that bit of silver.

Zhuang Rou raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't kneel, sit down." ”

Liu Banxian knelt halfway, so he had to sit back nervously, and he said with a bitter face: "My lord, the villain is just a small business, making a living." The blessing of adults is too strong, and the word villain is really undetectable. ”

"Oh, you can figure out who killed Li Jiu, how can you not even detect a dead word. Then you don't need to count me, you take a closer look at this dead word, calculate and see when you will die? Zhuang Rou nodded indifferently.

When to die......

Liu Banxian cried and mourned, staring at the dead word, and trembling with fright. No one in this Hongzhou city knows that this woman kills people like mustard, and she will do it if she doesn't agree with her.

It's just that if you are injured, you can be beaten to death on the street if you accidentally put on a charge, and people are not afraid of public anger at all, and they will kill whoever they want.

Zhuang Rou waited impatiently, and said in a long tone: "Say, how did you kill Li Jiu and Zhu Yifa and throw their bodies into the river?" ”

When Liu Banxian heard this, he immediately cried, and the old tears looked like he had suffered a lot of grievances, "My lord, I talked nonsense about the Li family's case, just to make some wine money, and I really didn't kill the person." No, I don't know if Li Jiu is dead or not, and I haven't seen Zhu Yifa's bastard at all. ”

"In order to mix up the wine money, you can just wronged people, and tell the story in such detail with your mouth closed, it's hard for you to make me not believe you." Zhuang Rou stared at him, feeling that his fear should not be fake, and the natural trembling of his whole body could not be pretended.

Even so, she still didn't plan to let Liu Banxian go, but Wu was almost killed because of him.

Liu Banxian wiped his tears in embarrassment, ignoring the fact that someone had already noticed them at this time, and told the ins and outs of why he went to Li's house that day to calculate the ins and outs of this matter.

It turned out that just before the Li family was clamoring to kill the Wu family, they were just looking for Li Jiu everywhere, and they did not suspect that it was the Wu family who killed them. With her cowering appearance, where did she have the courage and ability to kill the strong Li Jiu.

But Li Jiu has never been found, and when the Li family was about to decide to report to the official, someone found Liu Banxian.

According to him, the man paid fifty taels of silver and asked him to find a way to go to Li's house to count once. He said that his son was dead, and that he had been killed by his daughter-in-law, and that he could earn money by mentioning such a sentence.

At that time, Liu Banxian was still a little afraid, after all, this nonsense was about someone else killing people, and if he was really going to be arrested and beheaded, he could be regarded as the person he killed.

Besides, if someone in the government finds out, it was he who killed someone by talking nonsense, and he will lose his head.

But the man persuaded him that fortune telling is about heavenly chances, and he can only listen to half of it, and those who believe it all are stupid. Even if the government comes, he can't be blamed.

And that person is nothing special, he is the kind of person who can't be found in the crowd, Liu Banxian can't even remember the other party's face for a few days.

"Not tall or short, very ordinary, nothing special on the body, even the clothes are very ordinary. It's the kind of person who can get fifty taels, but he is not rich. Liu Banxian thought for a long time, but he really couldn't tell how to identify that person, unless someone could stand in front of him.

Zhuang Rou was thinking about a thing, Liu Banxian's crime was enough to go to prison, he dared to use the silver to spread rumors and harm people, and twenty sticks were too little.

But now it is not easy to arrest him back, the yamen is too poor, even if more than one person drinks rice soup, it is a waste.

Liu Banxian had already told everything he knew, and he didn't hide it anymore. But Zhuang Rou stared at him like looking at an object waiting to be sold, and he was a little scared.

Thinking of the silver in hand, as well as the children who wandered with their parents, Zhuang Rou opened her mouth, "Say, how much silver do you have to pay for your life?" ”

"Ahh Liu Banxian looked at her and asked with some uncertainty, "My lord, do you mean to be fined?" ”

"Nonsense, your sins are enough to exile, choose for yourself. Pay money to buy your life or just exile your family? Zhuang Rou slapped the table and scolded.

Liu Banxian looked at her speechlessly, how can people choose such a choice, it is clear that they want to choose to pay money to buy their lives.

The exile in the back has to be raided, and there won't even be a piece of the bed board left, and now it's winter, and it's dead before it reaches the penal colony.

He begged with a bitter face: "My lord, can you get a little less, I've already used some of the fifty taels, can I hand it over when I have enough?" Look at my business, that is, relying on good words to mix rice and eat, it is originally drinking the northwest wind. ”

Zhuang Rou nodded, narrowed her eyes and grinned, "Okay, then you can die." ”

"......" Liu Banxian looked at her white teeth, his smile was so terrifying, he shrunk his neck and didn't dare to ask again, "Two hundred... No, three hundred taels of silver. ”

"Okay, go to your house and see, what's there." Zhuang Rou stood up and calmly asked him to lead the way, wanting to go to his house to have a look.

Liu Banxian cried: "My lord, talk about the king's law." ”

Zhuang Rou clasped her hands and smiled: "Wang Fa? Our Prince An is the king's law. This silver was also used for disaster relief, and it was all commanded by King An. Otherwise, with my usual behavior, do you think I will make you pay for your life? ”

She smiled heavily, "I prefer your lives to silver." You have to thank King An, otherwise today's dead word will have to be stuck to your head. ”

"The villain admits punishment! Admit the punishment, Xie An's great grace! Liu Banxian deeply believes that Zhuang Dianshi definitely thinks the same way, how many civilians in Hongzhou have been killed by her.

Fortunately, King An issued a fine for silver, otherwise he might have died on the street.

When Liu Banxian cried with joy for picking up his life, he was poked by Zhuang Rou with an iron rod and urged: "Let's go, go and see what your family is worth." ”

There really isn't a good thing in the office.

Liu Banxian didn't have any joy at this time, only his face was full of frustration, he cursed secretly in his heart, put away the stall and took Zhuang Rou to his own home.
