Late at night, the secret nest of the golden cicada: No. 9 Soybean Milk Hutong, in the living room of the courtyard, a lamp is lit. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Jin Chanzi said while treating the wound on Yuan Jinsuo's forehead: "Many things in the world are difficult to say, and no one can predict the prophet, even Zhuge Liang has miscalculations. ”

Yuan Jinsuo said: "Brother Jin, the most worrying thing is the safety of the helper, originally, the informant is not helping, the official yamen, the palace nobles, the white road **, the five elements and hundreds of informants have their own informants, in order to take care of each other, communicate with each other, the helper founded the informant gang, the organizer is fair, the rules are strict, the rules are strict, the rewards and punishments are clear, while strictly guarding their own secrets, they support each other, and the informants are all admired. ”

Jin Cicada's hand was very sharp, and when he spoke, he had already put medicine on Yuan Jinsuo's forehead and wrapped it with gauze.

The bloodstained coat has been changed and thrown in the corner, Yuan Jinsuo put on the clothes of the golden cicada, the buttons of the clothes are tight, and he looks a little smaller, he sat at the desk, holding the teacup in both hands, with a confused expression.

The golden cicada paced to the stove by the wall, pulled a chair and sat down, and poked the stove nose with the stove hook, and the fire in the room burned under his plucking, and the flames were whirring, and the light of the fire was bright and dark, reflecting his wrinkled and thin face.

The north wind howled outside the window, beating against the window lattice.

Jin Chanzi just fiddled with the stove hook, and didn't look at Yuan Jinsuo, and said, "Is it useful to say this,!"

Yuan Jinsuo said: "Brother Jin, are you secretly staring at the white-faced Cao Cao and Zhu Yeqing?"

Jin Chanzi said: "Why are you asking this?"

Then, I followed to the tailor's shop on the North Gate Diagonal Street. ”

"Yes. ”

"Perhaps, catching fast and white-faced Cao Cao are all the way. ”

"No, at a glance, they are two groups of people who have nothing to do with each other, taboo each other, and each has a ghost. ”

Yuan Jinsuo seemed to be muttering to himself: "Why do you want to be embarrassed by the master?"

Jin Chanzi said: "He knows too many things, the more he knows, the faster he will die." ”

Yuan Jinsuo said: "Could it be that the eagle claw sun in the six doors is here to help the master?!"

Jin Chanzi said: "It's not like it, it's hard to say, it's certain that it's not here to pick him to make a fortune!"

Yuan Jinsuo asked: "Brother Jin, what did you say about the three-step inverted bamboo Yeqing and the white-faced Cao Cao?"

Jin Chanzi said: "Killer, what other good can you do, of course it's killing people." ”

"In this way, the official and bandit family has a two-pronged approach, and the gang leader is a fierce and auspicious man. ”

"If Tang Laojiu can get over this hurdle, it will really be a great blessing and a great creation. ”

Yuan Jinsuo said: "No, I have to take a look." ”

With that, he placed the teacup on the table and got up to leave.

The golden cicada shook the stove hook and threw it on the ground, Huo Di stood up, raised his head, his eyes were aggressive, and said, "Don't die, you stand for Lao Tzu!"

Yuan Jinsuo stood in the hall, I don't know why, he looked at the golden cicada, and found that the tough and thin golden cicada was like a sharp steel spear, with a murderous aura that permeated people all over his body, if anyone dared to disobey his order, this steel spear would send a fatal blow anytime and anywhere, taking people's lives.

Yuan Jinsuo had no choice but to sit down obediently.

Jin Chanzi said: "You don't want to live, Lao Tzu still wants to live for two more days! Even if the gang leader is killed, you can't die, you have to avenge him, how can you be confused, and lose another life, now, killers and catchers are looking for you everywhere, as long as you show your face, you don't have good fruit to eat, and you have to peel off your skin if you don't die." ”

Yuan Jinsuo thought about it too, and bowed his head silently.

Jin Chanzi said again: "Besides, Lao Tzu risked nine deaths to save you, not in vain, you must remember this." ”

Yuan Jinsuo said: "I understand, I want to report to Brother Jin and avenge my dead wife and children." ”

Jin Chanzi said: "Yes, if you can't watch Prince Yi and Guan Tong Ding die well, and die in front of their heads, Lao Tzu will really be unlucky in this life." ”

As he spoke, he sat down in a chair, tightened his thick eyebrows, looked up like an earthworm and twisted painfully on his forehead, his eyes burning with anger, clenched his fists, and sat by the fire, staring out the window into the thick darkness, which reflected his thin, well-defined face,......

Yuan Jinsuo looked at it, straight haired, no matter who it was, if he met such an opponent, it would be a fatal thing.

＊＊＊

In the early morning, the head-catching thin monkey found two corpses under the wall of the big cake alley, one was the Xicheng Tang Laojiu he was looking for, and the other was the purple-faced man Zhao Blacksmith.

Next to the two corpses, there was a horse tied to the horse with a well-saddled sheath.

The two bodies were wrapped in white cloth, loaded into a carriage, led the ownerless horses, and returned to the headquarters of the catcher.

In the secret room of the Capture Headquarters, the thin monkey held a poisonous arrow with a blue arrow in his hand, and he couldn't help but shudder.

Hu Chunming said: "The killer is another three-step reversal, the criminal is carrying 72 lives, and he is on the run." ”

The thin monkey said: "Rumors in the rivers and lakes: thirteen arrows in a row, bamboo leaves in Xiangxi, green arrows in the mouth of the snake, see blood to seal the throat and kill people." is so bold that Zhu Yeqing dares to show his head in the capital. ”

Hu Chunming said: "There are many outlaws, which is not surprising.

Brother Hou, I always feel that something is wrong. ”

The thin monkey said: "It's not just a little, it's famous!"

Hu Chunming said: "Why are we looking for people, where we find them, people will die."

Where?"

The thin monkey said: "When we suspect the Wutai Fog Leopard Tang Jiutai, Tang Jiutai will be

He was killed in a brothel, and when we thought that Tang Laojiu in Xicheng might know the inside story of the murderer and was eager to find him, Tang Laojiu was assassinated. What is the purpose of the perpetrators?"

Hu Chunming said: "There is only one purpose: to cover up the truth. ”

Thin Monkey said: "In other words, let all the clues be interrupted and wait until this case."

As soon as the deadline came, Hu Dafa was forced to take Jiao's father-in-law to buy a suicide note for murdering Liu. ”

Hu Chunming said: "If it's not like this, what else can it be!"

The thin monkey said: "The strange thing is that how can the opponent grasp our movements."

So clear?"

"yes, isn't it ......?"

The thin monkey said: "There are ghosts, there are internal ghosts!"

Hu Chunming's mouth opened and stopped squeaking, some things, the more he talked, the more confused he became, and he couldn't get it right, so he went around himself.

There was a knock on the door, and the thin monkey said, "Come in." ”

The arrester on duty came in to report it, saying that the son of Tang Laojiu in Xicheng came to collect the corpse, and the two corpses had to be taken away, to give it or not to give it?

The thin monkey said: "Have you finished the test?"

"It's over. ”

"Everything related to the case, what should be left and what should not be kept, let his son take it away. ”

"Yes. ”

The thin monkey winked at Wu Chunming, and Wu Chunming secretly followed.

Caught up and came to the gatehouse, Tang Laojiu's son Tang Huaien, in his thirties, was a fat man, with a big belly and a bitter face, sitting on a cold bench with a few helpers. Zhu Kuai said: "The surname is Tang, follow me to the morgue to collect the corpse." ”

Tang Huaien thanked him repeatedly, stepped forward and stuffed two ingots of silver, caught fast and did not push, into the sleeve, Tang Huaien took a few helpers, followed the catch, out of the gatehouse, along the west wall root, walked to the side yard of the headquarters, pushed open the courtyard door, and saw the barren grass withered yellow, full of frost and snow, the north wall under the root of the bungalow, the eaves hung uneven ice, the bungalow was divided into more than ten morgues, the door of the morgue in the middle of the door was opened, two plank beds in the house, two corpses lying upright, Tang Huaien lifted the white cloth, claimed the corpse, sure enough, it was his father and the purple-faced blacksmith, seeing that his father's belt was still inserted with a ruler to grow a brass cigarette stick, his heart was sour, and he couldn't help shedding two lines of tears, He covered the white cloth as usual, accepted the relics from the courier, nothing more than wallets, finger cigarette purses, fire folds and other miscellaneous items, signed the paperwork, and then howled and cried, calling out the names of his father and Zhao Blacksmith, commanding the helpers, lifting the two corpses, and leaving the morgue.

Crying all the way: "Dad, blacksmith, go well, Maimenkan, go out, turn right, be careful of the slippery road, Dad, blacksmith, go well,......" It sounds sad.

Quickly opened the side door of the side yard and said, "Let's go." ”

Tang Huaien thanked him for his kindness, said goodbye to the hunt, called the coffin of the carriage and horse, and returned home.

Xicheng Tang Laojiu's house is located in the east of the city of Longxing Street, Tang Laojiu is a figure with a head and a face, his mansion is naturally quite decent, four into 36 rooms, is a grand family, Tang Laojiu married a three-room wife, more than ten children and grandchildren, parents are alive, children and grandchildren around the knee, and there are more than a dozen maids and maids, working on daily affairs, usually, living at home, it is extraordinarily noisy. Now that the funeral is organized, of course, it is even more grand, how can you be left behind.

The gate was already full of wreaths, banners, and couplets, and the drummers wore filial piety clothes, beat drums and played mourning music, welcoming the return of Tang Laojiu and the blacksmith.

The purple-faced blacksmith called Zhao Dagong is a loyal and righteous man, a single, and the funeral will naturally be handled by the Tang family.

The housekeeper's surname is Gu, the fourth brother is full of red light, slightly blessed, dressed in linen and filial piety, standing on the steps of the gate, ushering in the send-off, and receiving relatives and friends who came to mourn.

When the coffins of Tang Laojiu and the blacksmith were carried down by eight strong men in mourning clothes and slowly entered the gate of the Tang Mansion, the cry immediately sounded, shaking the heavens and the earth, the drums sounded in unison, and the banners were flying, which was a sad and glorious scene.

The mourning hall is located in the front hall, and the front is enshrined: Xicheng Tang Lao Jiu Ling Seat, and the side is dedicated to the loyal servant Zhao Dagong Ling Seat.

On the offering table are three animal offerings, flowers and fruits, candles, and cigarette smoke. Invite a group of monks who are superborn, sit on the futons on both sides of the offering table, knock on the wooden fish, and recite the scriptures.

Come to mourn and worship Tang Laojiu's relatives and friends and brothers in the gang in an endless stream, the Tang Mansion is full of carriages, donkey carts, horses and sedan chairs, especially the brothers in the gang, are all Jianghu characters, high and low, fat and thin, the costumes are eclectic, strange shapes, very eye-catching, there are many idlers outside the gate to watch.

An old man with gray hair, holding a cane in one hand and a wreath in the other, got off an old donkey cart, trembling, mixed with the people of mourning, and walked to the gate of Tangfu.

When he walked up to the housekeeper Fourth Brother Gu, Yuan Jinsuo said: "Fourth brother, there are a lot of plainclothes at the door, polish your tricks, be careful." ”

Fourth Brother Gu was stunned, and didn't recognize who the person was for a while, so he said, "Old man, you are ......."

Yuan Jinsuo bent his index finger like a "7", and Fourth Brother Gu immediately understood, and said in a low voice: "Seventh brother, please go to the forty-third room quickly, the brothers are waiting for you." Then, he said loudly: "Thank you Jiang Ye for coming to condole, please come in, please come in." ”

Lose a look, give the manservant next to him, and the manservant immediately stepped forward, took the wreath, and led the way.

After kneeling three times and kowtowing in front of the mourning hall, he got up, followed the manservant, and hurriedly walked to the fourth inner courtyard, and when he arrived at the thirty-third room, the door was closed, the window was closed, and the dark green curtains were hanging, and the room was silent.

The valet knocked on the door, and someone in the room asked, "What's the matter?"

The manservant said, "The person who is waiting is here." ”

Immediately, the heavy door rattled and cracked, and the manservant knew the rules very well, turned around and left, quite capable, and seemed to be a brother in the gang.

The one who opened the door was Yang Henian, the ancient sword of the Nine Palaces, and he said, "Helper, please come in." ”

Although Yuan Jinsuo was once ordered by Tang Laojiu, he still felt a little abrupt when he heard the word "helper".

Entering the room, Yang Henian closed the door, plugged in the door bolt, and the eight people in the room saw Yuan Jinsuo, poofed, knelt down together, and said in a deep voice: "Knock to see the helper." ”

Yuan Jinsuo said, "This, what's the matter?"

Yang Henian said: "The Tang Gang Leader was killed, the gang can not be left without an owner for a day, today by the Tang Gang Leader's will, worship the seventh brother Yuan Jinsuo as the informant gang leader, from now on, we will be the Yuan Gang leader, obey the order, strictly abide by the gang rules, work together to revitalize the informant gang." ”

After that, everyone couldn't help but say, let Yuan Jinsuo sit down on the chair of the Taishi in the middle, and then, officially knelt three times and kowtowed, and bowed, and then got up, eight people sat on both sides, and among the eight people, except for Yang Henian and his wife and Tang Huaien, they were the five line kings of the informant to help the east, west, south, north and south of the capital.

Tang Huaien took out the brass cigarette stick from his arms, with tears in his eyes, handed over to Yuan Jinsuo, and said: "This is my father's favorite thing, day and night, my father once confessed, if something happens, be sure to hand over the cigarette stick to the new gang leader, never forget lightly, in the next foolishness, I don't know what it means, I am willing to ask Yuan to accept it." ”

Yuan Jinsuo took the cigarette stick, rubbed and moved, looked at it for a moment, unscrewed the brass cigarette holder, and saw that there was a small roll of white paper in the cigarette holder, unfolded the white paper, and seven characters were written on the paper: gilded jade jade unicorn, it was the handwriting of the Tang gang leader, and the fly-headed small block was neatly written and meticulous.

What does this mean? Yuan Jinsuo was in trouble and handed it over to eight people for circulation.

The king of the Dongcheng line, nicknamed the hillbilly, is a bald old man of more than fifty years old, looks thin and thin, pouted, and said: "I heard that Prince Yi's mansion has a treasure of the town's house, called 'gilt jade jade unicorn', carved exquisitely, according to legend, it is the auspicious vessel brought by Master Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty from India, and is treasured by Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. ”

The king of the Nancheng line, nicknamed the big rich man, is a fat man, likes to raise the bar, and said, "Have you seen it?"

The hillbilly said, "No." ”

The rich man said: "You haven't seen it again, it's blowing alive, as if you've seen it." ”

The hillbilly said, "The gossip is here." ”

The rich man said: "The gossip can also be believed?!"

The hillbilly said: "There is no wind and no waves, many things, just the gossip is spreading, and it will come true." The lice on the bald man's head are obvious, and the helper told us that Prince Yi exchanged the jade unicorn for a silver ticket and hired a murderer to assassinate the Liu family. ”

The rich man said: "There are also many things, the gossip is spreading, and there is no follow-up, anyway, Lao Tzu is seeing is believing, hearing is false, and never believes in gossip." ”

The hillbilly said: "I didn't let you believe it, what's the hurry!"

The rich man said: "I don't believe it, what are you anxious about!"

The hillbilly said angrily: "Okay, the poor don't fight with the rich, the rich, I can be regarded as convincing you." ”

Yuan Jinsuo said: "Strategist, what is the meaning of the seven characters 'Jine, Jade and Jade Qilin' written by the old gang leader?"

The helper spoke, and the rich man and the hillbilly immediately stopped.

Yang Henian said: "In my humble opinion, the king of the Dongcheng line has a point, but there is no evidence. The old gang leader told us to check down from the line of the jade unicorn. ”

The king of the five major lines said, "It's been twenty-five years, the old man is dead, and he is walking, this line is really not easy to check." "I think the murderer is Jiao's father-in-law, I heard that he has admitted it, and what are you making of?" "I think it's Prince Yi, this person is extremely vicious and ruthless, but the evidence is really hard to find. "The affairs of officialdom are changing, and Wu Chuxiong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, has a gap with Liu Renkuan, could it be him?" ”

Yuan Jinsuo said: "Be quiet, please everyone, go back and think about it, why did the old gang master write these seven words? Spread all the hard ideas of his own hands, find out the mastermind of the Liu case, I want evidence of the mastermind of the murder." ”

The hillbilly said: "This seven-character mantra must have a deep meaning." ”

The rich man gave him a disapproving look.

That night, Yuan Jinsuo returned to the secret nest of the golden cicada, and there were a few dishes on the table.

They sat opposite each other, toasted and drank, eating and chatting.

Yuan Jinsuo asked: "Brother Jin, the silver ticket used to buy the murderer was taken out by you from Beijing Huitong Bank?"

Jin Chanzi said: "No, that day, Guan Tong Ding called me into the secret room and handed me five copies of the handwritten edict of Shen Wanjin, the chief treasurer of Huitong Qianzhuang, all five of which were stamped with multiple seals of Qianzhuang, and painted with extremely complex dragon and tiger patterns, and asked me to take the handwritten oracle to the semicolon of the five cities under Qianzhuang, find the semicolon shopkeeper, and exchange it for silver tickets, each of which can be exchanged for 100,000 taels of silver tickets of Huitong Qianzhuang. ”

"Which five cities?"

"Meishan, Sanya, Jiuquan, Chengde, Chaozhou. ”

"Five cities are so far apart. ”

"Lao Tzu took two of Prince Yi's family members and drove a carriage for seven or eight months, and even five or six horses died, and the carriage was replaced by three or four, and the toss was enough to finally get the thing done. After getting the silver ticket, I handed it over to the steward for safekeeping, and when I needed it, I asked him for it, and I was responsible for paying for the silver ticket. Oh, and speaking of those two family members, I haven't seen them since I got the silver ticket back, and eighty percent of them have disappeared from the world. ”

"You paid the advance and final payment to the Assassination Gang?"

"To be precise, I paid the death judge Gong Xiaolu. ”

"Does the silver ticket have the stamp of the city bank?"

"Nope. These are five special silver tickets, only the big seal of Huitong Bank: the Huitong ticket number, all over the world. ”

"Where did the five handwritten edicts that Guan Tong Ding gave you the chief treasurer of Huitong Qian Zhuang come from?

Jin Chanzi said: "No, absolutely not." Prince Yi, an old fox, is cautious and will not come forward to do things in person, so as not to be caught. In addition, he has a habit of cleanliness, and hates silver money the most, and never touches silver tickets, gold and silver, as well as land deeds, house deeds and other documents related to silver money. He believes that money is too dirty, and all the notes related to silver money are too dirty, and I don't know how many people's hands have passed, and the silver and silver stamps are stained with bacteria, and moreover, only the little people who have no ambition like silver money, and there is no one in the world who does great things who will like silver money! A manly man should have lofty aspirations and take the world as his own responsibility, and once he has great power, he will not ask for anything! His mantra is: If you have power, you will have everything, and if you have power, you will lose everything. Of course, he also wants money, he wants a lot of money, and the money can be used to sell his official beard, in exchange for power, expand his power, and remove stumbling blocks. ”

Yuan Jinsuo said: "In other words, the chief treasurer Shen Wanjin's edict was handled by Guan Tong Ding who went to Huitong Qianzhuang alone?

Jin Chanzi said: "This is the rule of the road, which is good for both parties." ”

"Now that Shen Wanjin has passed away, apart from Prince Yi, there is only Guan Tongding who knows the secret?"

"Yes. ”

Yuan Jinsuo said: "As long as Guan Tongding is arrested and his mouth is pried open, maybe you can find evidence." ”

Jin Chanzi said: "It's not so easy to catch Guan Tongding, besides, even if you catch him, if you want to pry his mouth open, the possibility is equal to zero, Guan Tongding is a tough guy." ”

Yuan Jinsuo said: "Is there no other way?"

Jin Chanzi said: "Today's big shopkeeper of the Huitong ticket number must be an insider. ”

Yuan Jinsuo said: "Ten years ago, the big shopkeeper Shen Wanjin has passed away, perhaps, this secret has been brought to the grave with him. ”

Jin Chanzi said: "Now, his son Shen Jichang has become the big shopkeeper, Shen Jichang should know something about the 'Jade Qilin'." ”

Yuan Jinsuo said: "It's hard to say, besides, if you want to get close to Shen Jichang, it's not easy to talk about." ”

Jin Chanzi said: "Forget it, what kind of bird evidence do you want, Lao Tzu is living evidence!" Third Brother Liu arrived in the capital, and as soon as he spoke, Lao Tzu went straight to Third Brother Liu and brought out all the case records, as long as Third Brother Liu helped me kill Prince Yi and Guan Tong Ding, I wanted to kill or chop, whatever. ”

Yuan Jinsuo said: "Brother Jin, don't be abrupt, wait for my brother to think of a way, there will be a way, how can my brother watch Brother Jin die, no, absolutely not." ”

Jin Chanzi snorted in his nostrils, tilted his neck, dried the wine in the cup, chewed peanuts and rice, stared at the lamps on the table with fixed eyes, he had already made up his mind, and said: "Jin Suo, as soon as Third Brother Liu arrives in Beijing, tell me immediately." ”

Yuan Jinsuo said: "This nature, this nature ......"

*

**

The king of the Dongcheng line is a competitive person, since he believes that the old gangmaster's seven-character mantra must be related to Prince Yi's murder, he is determined to find out, and he is also angry that the king of the Nancheng line is very rich.

It is said that they are the most iron, although the other line kings are polite, but the relationship is average, in case of emergency, the first person he wants to find is the rich man, help, the rich man is not ambiguous, he wants money and money, he wants people, and he doesn't even frown, but the rich man has one thing that is not good, he loves to raise the bar with him, and he doesn't look at the occasion or give face. This time, the hillbilly decided to show his hand, and if the matter of the 'Jade Qilin' was really done, at least it could be used to rectify the stinky problems of the rich in the town.

He threw out all the most capable cadres under his command, and three days later, he came back in disgrace and replied: Boss, this matter is really fine, the time interval is too long, there are only shadows, no clues, no way to check.

The hillbilly is also a little discouraged, it seems that he is really going to be told by the rich man, the gossip, spread and spread, and there is no follow-up. I was so bored that at noon, I went to the Qianmen Baoquan Teahouse alone to drink tea and listen to the story.

Drank a few sips of tea, listened to the book for a while, there were many people in the teahouse, his seat was far away from the storyteller, and he didn't hear a reason, bored, and saw a fortune teller sitting next to the tea table on the wall of the teahouse, hanging a piece of yellow cloth on the wall, and writing: Zhongnan Li Tiezui, uncertain can be prophetic, three hundred years before knowing, three hundred years after three hundred years, is it right, please give it a try, if you want to calculate accurately, the important thing is not to deceive.

I saw Li Tiezui about fifty or sixty years old, with gray hair and low spirits, leaning on the back of the chair and napping, and it seemed that his business was very depressed.

When the hillbilly saw it, he said in his heart: What a big breath, it is difficult to know three days before and three days later, let alone three hundred years. Anyway, sitting is also sitting, hey, the matter of "Jade Qilin", go and try to calculate a hexagram, see what Li Tiezui says.

He came to Li Tiezui's table and sat down, and when he saw that Li Tiezui was still napping, he said loudly: "Hey, Li Tiezui, business is coming, wake up." ”

Li Tiezui was shocked, stunned, opened his eyes, and said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I can't sleep well at night, I'm sleepy during the day, offended, Mr. fortune telling?"

The hillbilly said angrily: "What are you doing if you don't tell your fortune, joke! ”

Li Tiezui said: "Is Mr. counting good fortune and bad luck, or success or failure?"

The hillbilly said angrily: "Success or failure." ”

After finishing speaking, he felt that this Li Tiezui was a little strange, and said, "I have never seen you such a fortune teller." Do you know how to tell fortunes, as soon as the fortune teller comes up, he asks the eight characters of the birthday, how can you start the calculation as soon as you come up. ”

Li Tiezui smiled and said, "I am Li Tiezui from Zhongnan Mountain, and the method of fortune-telling is of course different." Moreover, ask the eight characters of the birthday, the calculation is the inner five elements; the old decay is better at looking at the appearance, looking at the appearance is the outer five elements, from the outside and the inside, from the surface and the inside, the old decay is good at this technique. If Mr. really comes to ask for a signature, if you want to calculate accurately, don't tell a lie, if you tell a lie, this life can't be calculated. ”

The hillbilly said, "You mean, you want me to tell you everything?"

Li Tiezui said: "Where, where is it, Mr. only needs to say a topic, and the old man can tell it eloquently." Judging from the fact that Mr. Wang's eyebrows are tightly locked and his forehead is full of suspicion, he has been entangled and confused about a difficult matter for several days, and he must be eager to know the answer to the mystery, right?"

The hillbilly said, "I want to dream about it." ”

Li Tiezui said: "Okay, please Mr. must cooperate with the old man, the old man asks, Mr. answers, don't hide it, otherwise, it's in vain, does Mr. agree?"

The hillbilly said: "As long as you can predict the outcome, I will answer whatever you ask." ”

Li Tiezui bowed his head slightly, sat with his eyes closed, clasped his palms together, and said: "Heavenly Spirit, Earth Spirit, Taishang Laojun shows the gods, gains and losses, success and failure, Li Tiezui, poor eggs, don't be surprised when you point to heaven." ”

The hillbilly said: "Hey, hey, what do you mean by 'point to heaven'?

Li Tiezui closed his eyes and said, "The Dao broke through the heavens and returned it! That is a capital crime committed by the Heavenly Rules, either killed by lightning or drowned by water, how dare the old man offend the heavenly court in order to eat with his mouth." However, if you don't come up with some real truth, the world will not buy it, therefore, it is called 'point to the heavenly machine', point to the end, a little bit to stop, Taishang Laojun is not strange, presumably Mr. is also satisfied, the mystery of the heavenly machine, can not be broken, this measure, the old decay is just right, and he will never dare to cross half a step of the thunder pool. ”

The hillbilly said, "Okay, then you can say it quickly." ”

Only then did Li Tiezui open his eyes and look at the hillbilly's face.

Similarly, the hillbilly also looked at Li Tiezui: wearing an old green shirt, patched, white hair, wrinkled face, looking wilted, a pair of eyes under the eyebrows, clear, sharp and agile, as if it could penetrate people's souls, and I couldn't help but feel a little stunned in my heart.

I only heard Li Tiezui say: "Mr. ears are higher than the eyebrows, the ears are big and thick, the ears are drooping, it is the appearance of natural longevity, the eyebrows are wide and long, the roots are smooth, the eyebrows are long moles, the grass is hidden in the pearls, the eyes are bright, the wisdom is outstanding, the clothes are vulgar, the shape is like the lower riba people, the depth is not revealed, it is really a spring and white snow, the appearance is thin, it looks poor, low-key, rich and wealthy, it is a party with strange abilities, although it is not famous all over the world, but it is also famous in the capital, and it is by no means an ordinary person who does nothing." ”

The hillbilly was very helpful when he heard this, and said with a smile: "It's useless to talk about it." Aren't you going to ask me, ask. ”

Li Tiezui said: "Please Mr. Tell me a topic." ”

The hillbilly said, "What is the title?"

Li Tiezui said: "It's the thing you want to know, or say a word, or say a word." ”

While pondering, the hillbilly reported the title: "Gilded jade jade unicorn." ”

Li Tiezui muttered: "This thing is an Indian artifact, it is said to have the effect of exorcism and evil spirits, the effect of protecting the courtyard in the town, Master Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty brought it from India to the emperor, and it was deeply loved by Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

The hillbilly said, "Yes." ”

Li Tiezui said: "The jade unicorn is in Prince Yi's mansion. ”

Hillbilly said: "In addition to the function of exorcism and evil spirits, does the jade unicorn have other functions?"

Li Tiezui said: "Of course there is, the jade unicorn is worth about 800,000 yuan, and it can be pawned and sold for gold, silver, and silver tickets." ”

The hillbilly said: "Prince Yi is not short of money, it is impossible to exchange the treasure of the town house for money." ”

Li Tiezui said: "People always have a time when they are short of money, the small people are like this, and the big families are no exception, when the money is urgently needed, it is impossible to say, Prince Yi will take the jade unicorn and go to the pawnshop or money village to pawn it for cash." ”

The hillbilly said, "Did you sell the jade unicorn to someone else?"

Li Tiezui shook his head and said, "No." This is the ancestral artifact of the Prince's Mansion, how can Prince Yi cut his love. ”

The hillbilly asked, "Have you ever pawned the jade unicorn?"

Li Tiezui was silent for a long time, curled his fingers, and said: "Prince Yi pawned it once, and that time, he was in urgent need of money, so he pawned the jade unicorn out, and now it has been redeemed." ”

The hillbilly asked, "Hey, it's really God, who did you pawn it to?"

Li Tiezui's eyes were slightly closed, and there were words in his mouth, and he said: "Heavenly spirit, earth spirit, Taishang Laojun shows gods." "The hand is not idle, the fingers are pinched, and the calculation is carried out, which seems to be a little difficult.

The hillbilly stared at Li Tiezui, his attention was all on Li Tiezui's mouth, maybe, with one mouth, the answer really came.

No one noticed that there was a thin middle-aged man at the adjacent table on the left side of Li Tiezui, who was also listening to the movement here with his ears sideways, this person was the flying thief Ding Piaopeng, he changed his appearance as a common man in the market, because of his inner depression, he went to the teahouse for recreation, and heard someone talking about Prince Yi, so he quietly moved the chair to Li Tiezui's side, and there was a hillbilly in the middle, pretending to be attentive, facing the storyteller on the stage, knocking melon seeds, drinking tea, as if listening to a book and listening to the appearance of being fascinated, in fact, he was listening to Li Tiezui's fortune telling。

Li Tiezui said: "Come on, come on, Taishang Laojun has appeared, sir, how much silver money do you count?"

The hillbilly said: "Look at you, at a critical juncture, you can sell the pass, as long as you calculate it correctly, you will never be able to treat you badly." If you miscalculate, you don't have a penny. ”

Li Tiezui said: "Okay, with Mr.'s words, the old man will be relieved." In the spring of Wanli Ding You, Prince Yi pawned Huitong Money. ”

The hillbilly asked, "How many taels of silver did you make?"

Li Tiezui said: "500,000 taels of silver, all of which are silver tickets that are paid at sight." ”

The hillbilly felt a pang in his heart and asked, "What are the huge silver tickets for?"

Li Tiezui snorted coldly and said, "Do evil." For a case that occurred during the Wushu period. ”

"What case?"

Li Tiezui snorted coldly and said, "Why should Mr. ask knowingly, the secret of heaven must not be leaked, if Mr. can't answer sincerely, this life can't be calculated." ”

The hillbilly said: "Forget it, count me just farting, it's not okay." ”

"Okay, let's get on with that. ”

"Where is the gilded jade jade unicorn now?"

"Prince Yi's Mansion. ”

"When will the Jade Qilin be redeemed?"

Li Tiezui said: "Wanli Jihai winter, redeem." ”

Hillbilly said, "It seems that he is indeed a little tight on hand. ”

Li Tiezui lowered his voice and said: "The family has a big business and a lot of expenses, I heard that he is raising the army in private, raising the dead soldiers of his staff, and it is strange that he is not tight." ”

The hillbilly said, "How do you know everything?"

Li Tiezui said: "I rely on this to eat, otherwise, how can I mix." ”

The hillbilly said: "Also, Uncle Fairy, there should be an account for the general number of the capital Huitong Qianzhuang, right?"

Li Tiezui said: "Huitong Money Bank has strict management, and there should be, but it is not easy to find this account. Sir, be careful, if this matter leaks the slightest rumor, it will be more auspicious. ”

The hillbilly nodded again and again, took out a heavy ingot of snowflake silver from his arms, stuffed it into Li Tiezui's arms, and praised: "Uncle Fairy, Uncle Fairy, I can be regarded as serving you." ”

After saying that, he got up and walked away in a hurry.

Li Tiezui looked at the hillbilly's back, thoughtful.

In fact, Li Tiezui was played by Shaoxing Master Yu Wenwen Yirong, and the Criminal Department thoroughly investigated the accounts of Huitong Qianzhuang during the Wushu period of Wanli, and there was no abnormality, which shows that there was no gold and silver exchange between Prince Yi and Huitong Qianzhuang back then. Now, I heard about the "gilded jade jade unicorn", so I suddenly woke up to the fact that Prince Yi was short of money, and in the Wanli Ding You period, he pawned the treasure jade unicorn of the town house to raise black gold, so in the second year of the Wushu year, he implemented the plan to hire a murderer to assassinate Liu Renkuan, so it was logical. As for the redemption of the jade unicorn in the year of Jihai, it was his blind guess. Unexpectedly, the fortune teller was greatly impressed, and this is surprising, the fortune teller has some background! Who is he? Why did he link the gilded jade jade unicorn with the murder of willow in the year of Wushu? It seems that he is also tracking down the culprit who bought and killed willow.

Although Ding Piaopeng, who was sitting at the adjacent table, listened carefully, because of the noise in the teahouse, and at the same time, he was separated by a hillbilly, and he couldn't hear it very clearly, only hearing the words Prince Yi and the jade unicorn, and a few words that the fortune teller called Li Tiezui "Uncle Fairy", he said in his heart: It seems that the fortune teller does not look like a "trust" , Li Tiezui is so accurate, why don't I also go to tell my fortune, and ask him where Master Yu of Shaoxing is today, if he is in the capital, he will do it as soon as possible, so as to avenge Xiao Tao, but it is a matter of heart, saving Brother Xiao Tao from scolding me for having no conscience behind my back.

So, Ding Piaopeng stepped up to the fortune teller in two steps and said, "Li Tiezui, I also tell my fortune." ”

Li Tiezui got up and went to collect the yellow cloth poster hanging on the wall, ready to call it a day. He said: "Don't forget it, you have to count Ming'er." ”

Ding Piaopeng's hand pressed on his shoulder, and a strong force pressed down from top to bottom, Li Tiezui couldn't help himself, grunted, sat back on the chair, and he said angrily: "Aren't people bad?"

As he spoke, he looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, with a thin body, a fair complexion, and three locks of slight beards under his chin, and there was nothing special about him, he couldn't see that he was actually a martial arts master.

Li Tiezui naturally couldn't recognize the person as Ding Piaopeng, but felt that the middle-aged man was sad and resentful between his eyebrows, and his life was extremely unsatisfactory.

Ding Piaopeng said: "No, of course not." ”

"I just don't count, see what you do with me?"

"If you don't count, I won't let you go. ”

"Is there a strong fortune teller?"

"Today, let your fairy grandfather see it. ”

"It's unreasonable. ”

"There are a lot of unreasonable things. ”

Li Tiezui said: "The old man is a fortune, and the price is expensive." ”

"That's easy to say. ”

"I calculated the silver three taels accurately, and I couldn't count it accurate__"

"Don't take a penny, do you?"

Li Tiezui said: "Wrong, it's not accurate, it's also a silver tael." ”

"How can this be true!"

Li Tiezui said: "The old decay is this reason, whether love counts or not, look at it." ”

Ding Piaopeng "hee" and laughed, this stubborn old man is really interesting, there are some capable people in the world, they are stubborn, he said: "Okay, good, count Lao Tzu for your way, and have the same temper as Lao Tzu! ”

Li Tiezui said: "Hurry up, hurry up, the family is waiting for me to buy rice for cooking, what's it, brother?"

Ding Piaopeng said: "Count it as success or failure." ”

Li Tiezui said: "Say a topic, a word or a sentence." ”

"Shaoxing Master Yu article. ”

"Hey,__" Li Tiezui was taken aback, and then he looked at this brother carefully: his limbs are long, his bones are strange, his demeanor is smart, his eyes are blazing, he is depressed, and he is depressed.

Ding Piaopeng saw Li Tiezui staring at him, and said: "Hey, fairy grandpa, you are talking, I am here to tell fortunes, not to let you stay tuned, besides, Lao Tzu is not a handsome guy and beauty, what to see!"

Li Tiezui said: "Look at the fortune telling, do you understand it, you can only calculate it if you look at it, you can calculate it if you look carefully, you can calculate it accurately, you can look away, you can't count it accurately, and you have to scold your mother when you turn around." ”

Ding Piaopeng said: "Yes." ”

Li Tiezui grabbed Ding Piaopeng's left hand, and pinched it carefully, his hand was slender and strong, the tendons at the tiger's mouth were protruding, and the muscles on the palms of his fingers were faint, and they were elastic when he pressed them, which showed that he was a well-trained swordsman.

Ding Piaopeng said: "Look and pinch, what is this?"

Li Tiezui said with a smile: "This is called touching the bones and looking at the face, let me tell you, you don't understand." Dude, I ask you to answer, I don't ask, you don't say, ask seven questions and eight questions, mess up my heart, don't blame me. ”

Ding Piaopeng said: "Okay, good, don't ask, don't ask, what's great, touch it if you want to, look at it if you want to, whatever." ”

Li Tiezui said: "Brother, the bones are strange, benevolent and affectionate, chivalrous, jealous and hateful, strong in martial arts, good at fighting and uneven, wise and brave, famous in the rivers and lakes, and a first-class legendary hero." It's just a little weird-tempered, acting alone, the brother was born with a good life, however, the luck is not good, it's bamboo luck, it's always good for a while, bad for a while. ”

Ding Piaopengqi said: "Fairy Grandpa, slow and slow, what is bamboo luck? ”

Li Tiezui said: "Scared, there are many things you haven't heard of, and what you haven't heard of doesn't mean that there is none, really." If you are modest, you will tell you, but if you are arrogant, you will not tell you. ”

Ding Piaopeng smiled and said, "Listen to your ears and ask the fairy grandfather." ”

Li Tiezui said: "That is the case, the old man will tell you to hear, the fortune of the old man, like a bamboo, hollow and smooth, is the time of good luck, but unfortunately the good times do not last long, after a while there will be trouble, such as bamboo obstruction, bad luck is coming, but the brother's life is hard, any dangerous level, can be broken, after rushing through a bamboo trouble, it will be smooth sailing and living a good life, and then, there is a ring of bamboo waiting for you in front, so the cycle, sometimes good and sometimes bad, there is no end. Although there is no danger, but it also makes people rush to fight for a lifetime, hey, the ancients said well, life is better than luck. ”

Ding Piaopeng was said by Li Tiezui to chill his spine, there is indeed some truth, since the loss of Xiao Tao, he is bored, like a walking corpse in the world; soon, met Mei Huanhuan, since then, the haze has been swept away, even in the harsh and cold Northeast, I still feel that spring is full of joy, the sun is shining, as long as there is Huanhuan with us, life is full of endless fun, just when the future is full of dreams and longing, but unexpectedly, a damn secret was revealed: Mei Huanhuan is actually the daughter of the white-haired wind! And I was the key person who led to the murder of her father, so a good relationship was shattered, and since then, the grace has been cut off, and I have fallen from heaven to hell, and I almost want to live. Isn't this bamboo luck what?!

He sighed heartily and said, "Oh, Grandpa Fairy, you still have some truth. ”

"It's not just a few points, it's all. However, you have to remember that at your worst time, when your good fortune is about to begin, it is like the darkness before dawn, and you must not give up on yourself, and the next peach blossom luck awaits you. ”

Ding Piaopeng said angrily: "Nonsense, Lao Tzu doesn't want peach blossom luck, he just wants to marry a good daughter-in-law." ”

Li Tiezui said: "This can't help you, don't believe it, you try." ”

Ding Piaopeng wiped his face and said, "Yes, yes, I won't tell you." However, you digress, what I just said, will you forget?"

Li Tiezui said: "If you forget, how can you mix in the rivers and lakes! Haven't you and other villains smashed the brand?! No matter what problem you want to solve, you have to start with you, understand it or not, otherwise, you will become a tree without roots, water without a source, and you can't calculate it at all." ”

Ding Piaopeng scratched his head and said, "Grandpa Fairy is right. ”

Li Tiezui said: "The Shaoxing master you are looking for Yu Wenwen, this person is the role of shaking a feather fan in the main hall of the capital catcher, and he is the right-hand man of the chief catcher and the iron-faced god Qiao Wanquan, Yu Wenwen used a beauty to kill you nine times a life, the girl you like, in order to save you, she drank the bone erosion and lost her soul, and her life returned to the yin, and now, you are here to find Yu Wenwen for revenge." However, this person is full of scheming and extremely difficult to deal with, and if he can't get it right, the brother will eat it. ”

Ding Piaopeng snorted coldly and said, "This person is a scholar, and he has no power to restrain the chicken. With one finger, I could kill him. ”

Li Tiezui said: "Actually, wisdom is far better than force, brother, don't be careless." ”

Ding Piaopeng said: "This is natural, now, is Yu Wenwen still catching the general hall?"

Li Tiezui said: "You are a step late, a few months ago, Yu Wenwen resigned from the important position of the General Hall of Catching Kuai, and traveled the world. ”

"What? He ran away?"

Li Tiezui said: "Yes, he calculated that you would come to him for trouble." ”

Ding Piaopeng asked: "Yu Wenwen just ran to the ends of the earth, and he had to find him in the future, and in this life, it was spent with him." ”

Ding Piaopeng asked, "Where is he today?"

Li Tiezui closed his eyes and calculated, and said with words in his mouth: "The sky is yellow, the earth is yellow, the Jade Emperor is in the sky, the heavenly soldiers and generals will use swords and guns, and there is no discussion when retribution comes; ”

He opened his eyes suddenly, and said, "This, __ is a bit difficult to calculate, man." ”

He rolled up his sleeves and spread his five fingers, his pulse pointing to the sky, meaning to ask for silver.

Ding Piaopeng angrily stuffed a three-tael piece of silver into his hand, and said: "It's hard to ask you, so I'll count it myself, why bother with this unjust copper coin." ”

Li Tiezui pinched his fingers and said: "Don't mess around, don't mess up, it's coming, Master Yu of Shaoxing, I'm worshipping the Buddha at the top of Mount Emei today." This is not easy to calculate, today, Taishang Laojun is extraordinarily gracious, so that the aura can appear, directly shining on the golden top of Mount Emei, it is generally not calculated, it seems, you seem to be a little bit unbelievable? Believe it or not, man, the old man has to go home. ”

As he spoke, Li Tiezui got up, took off the yellow cloth poster on the wall, sandwiched it under the flank, and walked away slowly.

Looking at Li Tiezui's back, Ding Piaopeng sat on the chair in a daze......

But there was one person who was not blindfolded by Li Tiezui, he sat at the tea table on the right side of Li Tiezui, back to back with Li Tiezui, eating tea food, drinking tea, facing the storyteller, as if listening to it with relish.

This person is none other than Jin Cicada, he is not good at words, but his ears are strange, and he sits close to Li Tiezui, although the teahouse is noisy, and he listens to every word Li Tiezui says.

He doesn't believe that he can calculate other people's lives so accurately by chanting mantras and pinching his fingers, he doesn't believe that there will really be fairy grandfathers in the world, but he believes that every sentence Li Tiezui says, every sentence has a source, and every sentence has a source, and every sentence has a source, and it is definitely not something that a nonsense editor can make up.

I don't know where the first fortune teller came from? How could he know everything about Prince Yi and the Jade Qilin? Why did he know the whereabouts of the Jade Qilin? Could it be that he was also investigating the case of hiring a murderer to kill Liu? Or was he a subordinate of Yuan Jinsuo, the line king, who was desperately searching for evidence of the murderer who hired Liu? It seems that people cannot do bad things, they are mixed in the rivers and lakes, and the debts they owe always have to be repaid, and this is by no means a lie.

The second fortune teller is obviously the flying thief Ding Piaopeng, the girl who was killed, is the little peach of the Moon Palace Hot Spring Inn, it is rumored that Ding Piaopeng followed Liu Sange to Changbai Mountain to find Bai Maofeng's bad luck, and now he is showing his face in the capital, does it mean that Liu Sange has taken revenge and has returned to Beijing! Great, the last moment of revenge is coming. The golden cicada immediately became excited, but he pretended to be casual on the surface, silent, eating his tea, listening to his big book, and sometimes clapping with everyone, as if listening to a book. Xindao: Follow Ding Piaopeng, you will definitely be able to find Third Brother Liu, but Ding Piaopeng's rivers and lakes are too old, if you want to follow the ground unconsciously, it is impossible, everyone hates the person who follows him, if he can't get it, he will be killed by his sword, wouldn't he die unjustly, no, no. The matter of finding the third brother was handed over to Yuan Jinsuo, and it was expected that the third brother Liu would be found in less than three days.

Li Tiezui said too much about the matter of catching the fast hall and Yu Wenwen, not like a fortune teller, but more like a capable catcher who can observe words and emotions and can speak well. There are many talents in the catch, and we must not underestimate the people in this generation. Perhaps, this fortune teller is Qiao Wanquan's henchman who is arranged in the teahouse to sit and probe, fishing for information from all sides, in case of accidents. Qiao Wanquan is a close confidant of Prince Yi, how can he sit idly by and ignore Prince Yi's affairs?

As soon as he thought of this, Jin Chanzi paid for the tea, mixed in the crowd, stayed behind Li Tiezui, and quietly followed......
