Outside the door, Qingyi sè wearing a bright yellow satin short placket (Royal Forest Army) has surrounded the Ding family, this Ding Yi is a fortune teller, who has seen this formation, scared on the spot kneeling, a poor head with a top without saying a word let Ding Yi quickly clean up the guy with the fortune telling, and then let Ding Yi put Ding Yi on a small sedan chair that is impermeable.

On the sedan chair, Ding Yi secretly calculated a hexagram for himself, and as a result, he calculated a hexagram of "black clouds covering the rì, rivers and rivers breaking the flow, wildfires burning mountains, and white waves covering the boats".

In a garden that he had never seen, a person who claimed to be called "Prince Kun" claimed to have just entered the military aircraft, and wanted to let Ding Yibu and Bu Guoyuan about the war between the Qing Dynasty and the British, saying that the Qing Dynasty and Britain had fought two wars, both of which ended in failure, and whether the third battle was fought or not, or whether to admit defeat and pay compensation, the emperor was very distressed, so he wanted to ask Ding Yi for a hexagram, and calculated that if he continued to fight, the probability of winning the competition would be great.

What does Ding Yi do? Looking at the appearance, although the person in front of him said that he regarded himself as a prince, but in Ding Yi's opinion, this person had a wide forehead, a square corner of the ground, and his eyes were like a shuttle. This can frighten Ding Yi, at that time, the British because of Lin Zexu Humen's cigarette sales in a big way to raise troops in Fujian and Guangdong, the outcome of the two battles of Dinghai and Fujian and Guangdong can be said to be a one-sided ending, the army of the Qing Dynasty was almost completely annihilated, and the British casualties were only in single digits, according to this disparity in strength, if the third battle is fought, the end is victory or defeat, basically you can guess without Bu Qi, but the Chinese have a problem, that is, great joy, Ding Yi is not a fool, in front of today's Banzai Ye said that the third battle will be lost. The eight achievements of the head can't be saved, and the national fortune is a heavenly opportunity, and the consequence of leaking this heavenly opportunity is not such a single thing, so if this hexagram is told the truth, whether the emperor is happy or not, it is a death, and after an ideological struggle, Ding Yi decided to tell a lie in front of the emperor for the sake of his life and that of his wife and children.

In order not to arouse suspicion and not to show flaws. Ding Yi's hexagram is divined with the innate hexagram (congenital hexagram. The full name is "innate hexagram", which means evolution and evolution. According to legend, Fu Xichuang innate gossip, when King Wen of Zhou was imprisoned by King Zhou, the congenital gossip evolved into the day after tomorrow sixty-four trigrams, the real congenital trigram, it is said to be the most difficult to master the divination, but it is also the most accurate), the result is needless to say, but Ding Yi and the emperor said the opposite.

Hearing Ding Yi say that this third battle could be won, although the emperor said that he would be skeptical, he was still very happy, and after rewarding 1,000 taels of silver, he asked Ding Yi to leave Běi Jīng City, never come back, and to keep his mouth shut about this matter. After Ding Yi was sent home, Ding Yi left Běi Jīng City with his wife and children overnight, and came to Changjia Camp after several setbacks.

Later, China and Britain fought again, but the result was still a fiasco for the Qing Dynasty, and the "Treaty of Nanjing" was signed to lose power and humiliate the country. Although Ding Yi didn't know these news, judging from the hexagram in the original innate hexagram that "one person leads to ten thousand bones and one soul leads to ten thousand deaths", there may be how many soldiers have died because of his lie.

Every time he thinks of this, Ding Yi will beat his chest and pause in a trance, in just over a month before arriving at Changjiaying, Ding Yi seems to have suddenly aged ten years old, white hair is born one by one, a lie to the country, not to mention the misery of life, this matter alone is also a great crime of bullying the king and punishing the nine clans, how can an ordinary person bear this kind of conscience reprimand and ideological pressure?

Speaking of which, this Chang Sishan understood a rough idea, but as an illiterate mountain people, he had no concept in his head about the terms of bullying the king and destroying the country, he only knew that the man in front of him was kind to himself, so under Ding Yi's pleading, although he already knew that the person to be arrested on the notice was Ding Yi, but he didn't publicize this matter. As if nothing had happened, the people in the Changjia camp did what they had to do as usual.

"It's ridiculous..."Hearing Sun Ting say this, Zhang Guozhong couldn't cry or laugh, "How can you listen to the words of a fortune teller for such a military event?" ”

"That's a mistake!" Sun Ting said, "The Chinese are very heavily influenced by Confucianism, including the emperor, and they are very ideologically dependent on xìng. The common people rely on the yamen when they have problems, and the civil and military officials rely on the emperor when they have problems, and if the emperor has problems himself, who does he rely on? ”

"This..."Zhang Guozhong didn't expect that although Sun Ting was not very old, he had a unique opinion.

"Moreover, at that time, the main battle faction still had the upper hand in the government and the opposition," Sun Ting continued to analyze, "The pressure of the Daoguang Emperor not only came from the ministers of the main battle faction, but also related to the unique self-esteem of being a ruler. In addition, the reason why Emperor Daoguang decided to continue to fight the third battle when the two major battles of Dinghai and Guangdong were defeated is that Daoguang himself did not understand the real gap between the Qing army and the British [**] team at that time, and the defeat that came back alive would describe the defeat of the two wars as an accident under various excuses, which is also one of the reasons why Emperor Daoguang went to fight the third battle with a fluke mentality...""Mr. Sun, you are a historian? Zhang Guozhong began to wonder if this Sun Ting was also an archaeological madman like Qin Ge, the story told by this Sun Ting was not even a grain of sand in the vast history, and this Sun Ting knew it so clearly.

"No, I'm a lawyer, and it's because of this story that I became obsessed with history and archaeology..."Sun Ting took a sip of tea and thought for a while, "This is just an introduction, and the story after that, you will be interested." ”

"Mr. Sun, I've always been interested, your story is fascinating... Can I smoke? After listening to Sun Ting's vernacular for two hours, Zhang Guozhong's addiction to smoking suddenly became committed.

"Please..."Sun Ting took a cup of tea and began to continue.

Probably lived in the Changjia camp for ten years, although the time is not short, but Ding Yi's inner self-blame and fear are still undiminished, even dreaming that the official of the yamen caught him, and the whole family was beheaded together, just in the past ten years, Ding Yi's hair is completely white, and the person who has just nodded at the age of 50 looks no different from an old man in his seventies.

On this day, Ding Yi was feeding the chickens in the yard, and suddenly someone ran to his house frantically, saying that Chang Sishan's family had an accident, and a family of four hanged themselves together, and now they were rescued, but there was no gas and no pulse, let Ding Yi go to see if he was saved, hearing the news, Ding Yi immediately found out the needle bag and the person who reported the news came to Chang Sishan's house, at that time, Chang Laoxi was taking a few people to analyze the situation while drumming to save people, this Chang family camp has never had much contact with the outside, and never borrowed money from outsiders or anything, you said that this rìzi lived a good life, What can't you think of, you have to hang your whole family?

Ding Yi looked at the situation of these four people, except for Chang Sishan's chest, which was still a little hot and exhaled, his father, his daughter-in-law and son were already hopeless, and they were all hard. Later, although Ding Yi tried his best, Chang Sishan's life was still not saved, this was a troublesome thing The people in the village talked a lot, saying everything, playing money and debts, smoking a lot of cigarettes or something, but Ding Yi felt that this matter was not so simple, at night, Ding Yi made a fortune about this matter, and the result surprised him, Chang Sishan's family died unexpectedly.

Not all accidents can be regarded as "dying of unfatalities", the real sense of dying of unfatalities, refers to the end of life before reaching the yang, the reasons can be roughly divided into three categories: ghosts and gods, venting the sky and touching the stars (touching the stars is to violate the stars that hurt the mortals), but in this remote mountain village, a total of 40 people look up and don't look down, it is impossible to touch the stars, as an illiterate mountain people, it is even more impossible to vent the sky, and the leaking machine will not die together as a family, for the Chang Sishan family, resulting in "dying of unexpected" There can only be one reason, and that is to commit ghosts and gods.

There are no graves and no temples within a radius of 20 miles from this Changjia camp, how can it be possible to touch ghosts and gods? Ding Yi stayed awake all night, puzzled, and the next morning, the person who reported the news yesterday came to Ding's family again, saying that Chang Laoxi's family had also hanged, and this time the family was hanged relatively thoroughly, and when Ding arrived at the scene, it was basically all hard.

This time, Changjiaying immediately panicked, a total of more than 40 people, more than a dozen families in the village, two days to die one-fifth, at this rate, the whole village died is a matter of a few days, then more strange things came out, the whole village of chickens, ducks, cats and dogs and other small animals ran away overnight (most of the villagers in Changjiaying raised chickens, but they were free-range, surrounded by fences, this chicken did not know where to fight such a big ability, it flew out),

It was even said that the village could not even find a mouse, and for a while, every household began to pack their luggage and prepare to flee, and after two days of hard work, the whole village except for a lame old lady Chang and Ding Yi's family, basically ran out, and the Chang family camp, which was still full of smoke two days ago, immediately became a dead village.

Chang's not leaving, because he lost his husband in his early years, he didn't have children, he has been living by raising some chickens and ducks and the people in the village for a living, now the chickens and ducks are gone, he is old and his thighs and feet are not good, thinking about his life is also quite miserable, as soon as this incident comes out, he simply wants to die at home for a hundred, and Ding Yi is indeed because he does not dare to go out, and the matter of the Zhujiu clan has always been a disease in his heart. In the evening, Ding Yi desperately gave himself a hexagram, and the result was roughly the same as ten years ago, black clouds covered rì, rivers were cut off, wildfires burned mountains, and white waves overturned boats, but compared with the hexagram ten years ago, it seemed to be a little different.

"What does that mean?" Although the hexagram is still a unique hexagram, the hexagram tail seems to have a willowy and bright meaning, Ding Yi has counted the hexagram for decades, and he has never seen such a strange hexagram, "Could it be... In the dark, there are nobles to protect my family...? ”
