Xiao Jinyan asked what was going on, and Xuanyuan said what had happened.

It turned out that early this morning, Xuanyuan went to the criminal department with a knife, saying that his knife skills were limited and he could not complete the number of 10,000 knives, and recommended the Mo family as the main knife. However, this holy decree was issued by the emperor, and it was designated that Xuanyuan would be executed with a knife, even if it was to be changed, it would be changed by His Majesty, but now Li Chuntie's three words are His Majesty's reverse scales, and no one dares to say these three words in front of him. Moreover, the selection of the executioner was also very cautious, and let an inexperienced person be the main knife, and none of these adults in the criminal department dared to be the master, so they had to kick the ball back.

There was no way, Xuanyuan had to come to Xiao Jinyan with a knife.

Xiao Jinyan said with a little regret, "Since that's the case, I can't help it." ”

Xuanyuan refused to give up, and pleaded, "Then Brother Mo can teach Ling Chi's sword technique to Zaixia, the elder brother's net worth and life are all bet on this matter, as for the money, you make a price." ”

Xiao Jinyan shook his head, "My Mo family's sword technique has always been passed on to my family, this is an ancestral training, and it has nothing to do with money or not." ”

Xuanyuan pondered for a moment, and then said, "I am very familiar with Lizheng in the capital, and I also have a few friends in the household department, so I have a suggestion." ”

"What advice?"

"Why don't I change the genealogy to your Mo family, brother, how old is I older than you, so I'll be your godson." From then on, my name was Mo Yidao. Godfather, please accept my worship!"

After saying that, he was about to kneel down and kowtow, but Xiao Jinyan stopped him.

Xiao Jinyan couldn't cry or laugh.

And this kind of operation?

For the execution, he already had a plan in his heart, but now he won't tell Xuanyuan a knife, so he has to refuse, "Anyway, there are still ten days, it's better to think about it in the long run." ”

Xuanyuan begged bitterly, but Xiao Jinyan just didn't agree, and in desperation, he left in a huff and went home to practice knife work.

The National Teacher's Mansion is near the Qin Tianjian and is a Taoist temple rebuilt. When today's Zi believes, so the status of Taoism in the capital has risen, and now there are nearly a dozen Taoists of all sizes in the city.

The National Teacher's Mansion has the highest status and is also the most respected.

He also has two positions, one is the Lord of the Qintian Supervisor, who is responsible for observing the celestial phenomena and promulgating the calendar, and the other is the person who protects the first large array in the capital and the Amazing Array.

Of course, as a national teacher, his main job is to give lectures to the emperor, alchemy and medicine, and write sycophants. In addition, if the emperor had a strange dream, the national teacher would also be responsible for the explanation, for example, before, Zhu Liye dreamed that the black dragon was pressing, which directly led to a political storm in Jiangnan.

As soon as Xiao Jinyan arrived at the door, a boy said, "Layman, please come in, my master is waiting for you inside." ”

Xiao Jinyan praised: "The head of Yuxi Dao is really clever. ”

The boy said, "No matter who comes, I will say this, and you don't take it too seriously." ”

Xiao Jinyan laughed and stepped in.

The head of Yuxi was sitting in the pavilion reading a book. On the stone table, there is a copy of "Zhou Gong's Dream Interpretation" that is about to be turned over, as the emperor's royal dream interpretation expert, this is a must-have. What he was reading was a copy of "The Interpretation of Dreams", and he read it with relish, and he didn't notice Xiao Jinyan's arrival.

Xiao Jinyan coughed dryly.

Yuxi Daoist looked up, "Are you?"

Xiao Jinyan remembered that he had put on a mask, took off the mask, and said, "Dao Chief, I am Xiao Jinyan." ”

When Xiao Jinyan was a child, Yuxi often went to Li Chuntie's house outside the city, and occasionally talked to Xiao Jinyan a few times, but Xiao Jinyan was naughty and couldn't listen to it at all.

Daoist Yuxi recognized him and pointed to the stone bench next to him, "Sit down and say, I'll finish reading these pages first, there is tea, make it yourself." ”

Yuxi didn't treat him as an outsider.

After about half a cup of tea, Yuxi closed the book and sighed, "Breathtaking, unheard of!"

"Why did the Taoist say this?" Yuxi then said, "Over the years, Your Majesty has changed his dreams every day, and I, the Great Ming National Master, am responsible for interpreting dreams every day, and I am about to run out of words." He sent someone to tell me that I dreamed that I went to the moon and touched it, and I didn't know how to play it back. ”

Yuxi took off the pipe from his waist, Xiao Jinyan connected it, took the tobacco from the tobacco pouch, tightened, loosened, and filled the pipe, and dropped two drops of honey to help him light the fire.

Daoist Yuxi took a sip and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Sometimes, I really want to pump myself. ”

Xiao Jinyan said in his heart, aren't you smoking now, but today's matter, he has a request for others, and said in his mouth, "It's very good to be like the Taoist and live like a living immortal." ”

Yuxi glanced at him, "You are here for Li Chuntie, right? Don't beg me, his business is a private matter with Your Majesty, and my words are not good for Your Majesty." ”

Before Xiao Jinyan could speak, Yuxi had already blocked the conversation in advance. Xiao Jinyan could only say, "I just want to know, why did Your Majesty imprison Senior Brother?"

Yuxi sighed, "It's not because of that incident more than twenty years ago?"

"The first emperor?"

Yuxi said, "Exactly." This matter is His Majesty's heart, and it is also a rebellion, even if you are a relative of the emperor, he will never allow anyone to deceive him. Yuwen Tianlu deceived His Majesty, Li Chuntie and him are incompatible, but I don't know why he is also on Yuwen Tianlu's side. The old man was puzzled. ”

"How did Your Majesty know?"

Yuxi said long, "Dean Li is not a lady." Someone betrayed Dean Li. ”

I see.

It is no wonder that as soon as Li Chuntie returned to Beijing, Zhu Liye took back control of the Dengwen Academy, with his understanding of Zhu Liye, even if the cunning rabbit dies and the lackey cooks, the emperor will adopt the method of boiling frogs in warm water, step by step to seize his power, and then force Li Chuntie to resign, instead of directly launching the forbidden army house arrest.

"Who is it?"

Yuxi Dao said, "Deputy Superintendent Vancouver." I shouldn't have told you this, but for my sake with your senior brother and colleagues, I don't want him to die in vain. Back then, the investigation of the Black Dragon's body was a secret order from His Majesty to bypass Dean Li and directly give it to Supervisor Wen. ”

Xiao Jinyan was a little puzzled and asked his doubts. "When I was in Suzhou, I saw Lord Wen killed, how did he hide from the world and borrow the corpse to resurrect his soul?"

"Do you see someone's head?"

Xiao Jinyan shook his head, "No." But there is no doubt about the fact that there is still a confession from the corpse, so I have always doubted it. ”

The chief of Yuxi dipped his pen in tea and wrote two words on the stone table.

Scapegoat.

In recent years, stand-ins have become very popular, especially for high-ranking officials in the DPRK and China, who recruit men with similar appearances from the people, and then train them to the point of being fake, and even some stand-ins cannot even be recognized by people close to them.

From the mouth of Xiao Hongyu, Xiao Jinyan already knew that Vancouver was the secret post that Zhu Liye had planted in Dengwen Academy, and combined with Yuxi's words today, Xiao Jinyan had roughly guessed the ins and outs of the matter.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jinyan felt a killing intent in his heart.

Daoist Yuxi sensed this and said, "Don't be impulsive. ”

Xiao Jinyan said evilly, "Vancouver is not dead, and the hatred in my heart is incomprehensible. ”

"Are you here to save people, or to get revenge?"

"Save people. ”

"Since you can get through with a mask, your identity is in the dark, and now Your Majesty's killing intent has been decided, but there is still room for maneuver, once you move Vancouver, you will inevitably expose your identity, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

?? Xiao Jinyan thought about it carefully, he made sense, so he dispelled this thought, he took out the three copper coins from his arms and handed them over.

When Daoist Yuxi saw Qilin Tongbao, he was surprised, "Have you seen Mr. Xu?"

Xiao Jinyan nodded, "He asked me to come to the Taoist chief and make a divination for me." ”

Mr. Xu told him that the head of Yuxi owed him a favor.

Daoist Yuxi asked again, "Why didn't he give you a fortune?"

"He said he couldn't do it, and sent me to you, saying that you owe him a favor. ”

Yuxi Daoist didn't want to do divination, especially this kind of leaking heavenly secrets, but when he heard this, he sighed, "Back then, he gave me the position of national teacher, and he was waiting for me here." ”

After that, he extinguished the cigarette pouch again, went to the basin next to him to clean his hands, and then carefully took the three copper coins and looked at them carefully for a long time.

"He's generous. When I borrowed a copper coin from him, he was reluctant, but he gave you three directly. ”

Due to the special reason of the unicorn tongbao, it is very famous in the divination world, you must know that divination is not everything is accurate, to spy on the heavens, you have to use good tools, and the unicorn tongbao is one of the best instruments.

He took the copper coin like a turtle shell, recited a few words silently, threw the copper coin on the table, looked at it for a long time, showed a sad look on his face, and said, "It's a pity." ”

"What?" Xiao Jinyan was a little nervous.

"The Void Friend has been feathered. ”

Xiao Jinyan even said that it was impossible, the two had only met a month ago, but Yuxi Daoist said, "It should be something that happened after you left." ”

Another hexagram was taken.

Daoist Yuxi looked at the hexagram, his face changed suddenly, and he saw that he was trembling all over, and his speech became a little slurred.

"Original...... Originally...... He knew it all. ”

Xiao Jinyan asked curiously, "Please make it clear to the Dao Chief." ”

Daoist Yuxi took a deep breath and said slowly, "He divined the hexagram for you that day, not because he was inadequate, but because he had already seen the ending. I asked you to send these three copper coins here to remind me. ”

Xiao Jinyan's face was full of doubts, "I don't understand." ”

Yuxi Dao said, "We have a hexagram together, and we have our own plans." If it is an ordinary marriage, good luck, fortune, and official career, you can't use the unicorn treasure at all. The biggest use of this unicorn treasure is to divinate the fortune of the world. When I became a national teacher, I wanted to borrow a Tongbao from him, but he refused. This time, you brought three copper coins to remind me to make that hexagram. ”

Luck?

What is the trend in the world?

Xiao Jinyan exclaimed, "Heavenly Dao has descended?"

Daoist Yuxi nodded, "I didn't think you would know." ”

Xiao Jinyan informed him of the discussion with Mr. Xu about the advent of the Heavenly Dao that day, and the head of Yuxi said, "I see. Just a hexagram, the hexagram is extremely fierce, I'm afraid that this world is going to be chaotic. ”

Daoist Yuxi said, "After Dean Li returned to Beijing, the first person he looked for was me, saying that if anything happens to him in the future, don't save him. It seems that he knew about this in advance. ”

"He also told Mr. Xu, let Mr. Xu, stop me from coming to the capital. ”

The chief of Yuxi Dao stared at the three copper coins, shocking the hexagram, the big murderer. This is also based on the yin and yang sides of the three copper coins.

However, he saw that two of the three copper coins were very close to each other, and the other was far away, and if we look at the directions on the sixty-four hexagrams, another hexagram was obtained.

There are eight hexagrams.

If deduced according to the direction, among the sixty-four hexagrams, four seven should be no false hexagrams. Hexagram: Yuan Heng, Li Zhen. Its bandits are in danger, and they are not in good hands.

Daoist Yuxi deduced for a moment and said, "Dean Li won't let you come to the capital, with the ability of a virtual Dao friend, presumably you may not be able to break through his Xuanji Array." I understand why the Void Daoist Friends let you come to the capital. ”

"Why?"

"According to the hexagram, the way of heaven descends, and the world is cataclysmic. But in this hexagram, there is still a variable. He explained, "I'm afraid Dean Li didn't expect it." You are the one variable. ”

He seems to have regained some confidence. "Originally, when you came here, there would be countless pairs of eyes looking at you outside, and I would report to Your Majesty truthfully, but after this hexagram, I changed my mind. ”
