7th Episode: Turmoil (3)

I don't know if Wang Zhiqiu wants to leave the foyer of Shi's house quickly, and his steps are a little fast. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Li Yichen hurriedly hurried a few steps before biting Wang Zhiqiu's tail.

Wang Zhiqiu's face was a little red, as if he had just drunk a strong drink. Being choked by a teenager who couldn't speak was the first time in Wang Zhiqiu's life that he was choked, and he was naturally extremely uncomfortable.

"Village Chief Wang, you don't have to take it too seriously, this time we are indeed a little abrupt. Li Yichen said on the side, "It's no wonder you, if it weren't for He Laodao to make you preconceived, you wouldn't think so." ”

This is reasonable, if He Zudao hadn't said that Wang Er Mazi had killed people and crossed the goods, how could he directly question Changsun Yan for eating this stuffy fart. But after all, he is resentful, and no one will feel good if he is so opposed by a junior. But at the moment, Li Yichen was so comforted, and he couldn't help but respond, so he pretended to be calm and said: "It's okay, the old man is not good at his age, and he doesn't care about these things." ”

Li Yichen knew that Wang Zhiqiu was unhappy in his heart, and continued: "Eldest Sun Yan's words and deeds always make me feel a little strange, as if every word is hidden behind him..."

"The people in the Ancient Land are very weird. Wang Zhiqiu said, "Over the years, the Great Han has been fighting with the Ancient Empire, so it's better to have less contact with them." ”

"Hmm.." Li Yichen nodded noncommittally.

After a while, the two had already come to Wang Zhiqiu's house. As soon as he stepped into the house, Wang Er Mazi's family of four or five people immediately surrounded him.

"Village chief, you have to be the master of my family's second king!"

Wang Ermazi's wife, Jiao, took the lead, rushed out first, and fell on Wang Zhiqiu's thigh as soon as her knees were weak, and snot and tears fell uncontrollably.

Wang Zhiqiu is a scholar anyway, how could he have been hugged by a strange woman so much. For a while, it was not to push her away, nor was it if she was not pushed away. His face was even more red, and he had to reprimand angrily: "Who let you in!!"

These women and children didn't hear Wang Zhiqiu's question, and they couldn't stop crying.

"What kind of system, what kind of system..." Wang Zhiqiu had no other way for a while, and he was so angry that he couldn't do it.

Li Yichen stepped forward and said, "Don't pester the village chief, he came back this time to find evidence." If you hold him like this, how will he go and find the murderer for you? ”

These words really worked, and their cries immediately became much quieter. Jiao Shi also hurriedly let go of the hand holding Wang Zhiqiu's thigh, and cried: "The village chief will definitely catch this murderer and give us justice." ”

The purpose of Wang Ermazi's family is to catch the murderer and extort a sum of money, and they were afraid that Wang Zhiqiu would stay out of the matter before they came to make trouble, but now that Wang Zhiqiu is willing to intervene in the investigation, it is already their great luck, how can they still play tricks.

Wang Zhiqiu's face was pale, he looked at the tear stains on his robe, snorted coldly, and turned around and walked into the cabinet.

Li Yichen immediately followed, and the Jiao clan and several people followed inward.

Who knew that Wang Zhiqiu was standing at the door, and just after Li Yichen entered, he slammed the door to death. The Jiao clan was not allowed to enter and was not annoyed, and invited the old and young to gather at the door and had no intention of leaving.

Wang Zhiqiu in the room said helplessly: "That is, I am nosy and cause trouble." ”

Li Yichen said with a smile: "If you hadn't presided over the village, it would have been messed up a long time ago, how can it be said that you are nosy." ”

Wang Zhiqiu shook his head, took out a copy of "Nine Calculations" from a row of cabinets and handed it to Li Yichen: "It's almost impossible to care, how much can an old bone withstand a toss." ”

Li Yichen smiled slightly, did not reply, just took the book with both hands and turned the first page.

Stunned, Li Yichen only had astonishment on his face.

"It's... This book was also written by me..."The words in Li Yichen's mouth were intermittent, and the handwriting on the book in front of him was extremely familiar, and with his own eyesight, it was definitely from him.

Wang Zhiqiu's brows were already locked tightly on the side, and he said continuously: "This... This... How is that possible!?Master Li, are you looking away?!"

"I don't believe it either. Li Yichen said as he took out the "Nine Calculations" he got from Changsun Yan.

The two books are compared one by one, from the beginning to the end of the book, both in size and handwriting, and what is even more incredible is that the depth and angle of the crease in the lower left corner of the book have not changed.

"This..."Li Yichen's heart stirred, how could there be two identical books in the world.

"This matter... I think only Changsun Yan can explain it. Wang Zhiqiu patted his forehead, he was completely confused, "How could it be like this..."

Li Yichen thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "I have seen such a record, there is a kind of extremely remote Taoist method that can change the dead from one life to another, could it be... This book was conjured by Changsun Yan using the Dao method?"

"Is this really the case?" Wang Zhiqiu seemed to have grasped something, and said hurriedly, "How can you tell the difference?"

Li Yichen pondered for a long time and said: "According to the records in the book, this spell is formed according to the spiritual qi, if the original object changes, then the fake one will definitely change." ”

Wang Zhiqiu urged, then just give it a try. As soon as the words fell, he picked up the pen and drew a stroke on Wang Er Mazi's book of nine calculations. When Wang Zhiqiu turned to the page where the eldest grandson Yanjiu calculated, sure enough, a scratch appeared on it, and there was no change in the position and priority.

"Sure enough, it's this shaft!" Wang Zhiqiu's face suddenly relaxed, "I was angry with him just now, and this time I have to ask him to return it with interest." ”

Li Yichen heard this: "This doesn't mean his guilt..."

Wang Zhiqiu was puzzled: "Why?"

"Although we can tell that this is cast with the art of transfiguration, he can also deduce that it was the fake Wang Er Mazi who gave him this book. We still can't condemn him. Li Yichen analyzed.

"This..."Wang Zhiqiu thought for a moment, and didn't find any other way to deal with it for a while.

"Village chief, I don't think it's better for me to go to Changsun Yan to confront him, maybe I can ask something. ”

Li Yichen was a little uneasy, he always felt that Changsun Yan still had something to say in the last instructions, which felt like a fish in his throat, and he didn't vomit or feel unhappy.

"Can you do it alone?" Wang Zhiqiu hesitated a little, Changsun Yan was not like an ordinary noble son, and according to the current situation, nine times out of ten he was also a member of the Daomen, "It's better to call Li Hu and a few of them to accompany you." ”

"No, it's not good to make a lot of fanfare. I've always thought it was a little weird. Li Yichen said, "Li Hu, they can't help." ”

Wang Zhiqiu paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back: "But how can the Jiao family outside..."

Li Yichen sighed: "It's not just for the silver. After speaking, he took out two heavy silver ingots from his arms, which were one hundred taels of silver for the book fee given to him by the eldest grandson: "Village Chief Wang, you will send the Jiao clan for this hundred taels of silver, and the matter will be settled." ”

"I can't help it, how can I ask for your money? Seeing this, Wang Zhiqiu hurriedly pushed it away. Where have ordinary people seen a hundred taels of silver, but now that Li Yichen took it out without blushing and heartbeat, Wang Zhiqiu really didn't dare to take it.

"You take it, after all, this matter has a lot to do with me. Li Yichen put the silver ingot on the table and made a crisp sound, "I'll go ask Changsun Yan to understand, if he shows his feet, I will let Fengyun Mountain send someone to capture him." ”

Wang Zhiqiu looked at the silver ingots on the table, his face was cloudy, and he said for a while: "There is no other way." ”

Then, the two walked out of the room side by side. Outside, a few people from the Jiao clan hurriedly gathered around: "Village Chief Wang, has there been a result?!" My second king is so miserable....woo..."

"Don't cry. Wang Zhiqiu shouted, "What do you have to do to give up?" ”

When Jiao heard this, he still cried: "Our family of orphans and widows lives on the income of Wang Er, and now that he is dead, how can we live." ”

"At the end of the day, it's all about the money. Wang Zhiqiu snorted coldly, "Hmph, take it." ”

One hundred taels of silver weighed more than ten catties, and it smashed on the soft bluestone slab with a crisp sound. I don't know if the sound of the silver falling to the ground was too loud, and the crying of the Jiao family stopped abruptly.

"Thank you, village chief, thank you. ”

One hundred taels of silver is enough for them to squander for a long time, and on ordinary days, the money is taken by Wang Er Mazi to spend all day and wine, and it is difficult for them to see so much cash.

"Don't thank me, I don't think you can stay in this Linyun Village. Hurry up, or I won't be able to save you if you are caught up by those who ask for debts." Wang Zhiqiu is extremely interested in the worship of Wang Ermazi's family, and he is not willing to spend more time with them.

When the Jiao clan heard this, he hurriedly ran out of the village with the rest of his family.

Wang Zhiqiu saw them walking away, so he said to Li Yichen: "Linyun Village has always had no quarrel with the world, and killing people here is something that people here dare not think of. Now this matter must be thoroughly investigated to the end, and this murderer must be driven out forever, I will repair a letter and send it to the big county priests to ask them to send someone to build an official mansion here, and they should take care of this idle matter in the future. As for Changsun Yan's side, I have to ask Master Li. ”

Li Yichen saluted: "Don't worry, I should do my best." ”

After speaking, the two exchanged a salute, and Li Yichen left Wang Zhiqiu and walked towards Shi's house again.

The road is not very far, but Li Yichen has walked extremely hard. This is not the first time he has come into contact with Changsun Yan, but this kind of embarrassment derived from his heart is something he has never encountered.

It was a little late, and the wind on Ziluo Lake was blowing one after another, making people's hearts like flying willow leaves.

There were still hundreds of meters away from Shi's house, and Li Yichen saw Changsun Yan standing at the door, as if he had never left here.

"Mr. Lee. From afar, Changsun Yan greeted him.

Is he waiting for himself? Li Yichen's heart was like a mess, and all the doubts at the moment needed to be explained by Changsun Yan. So he sped up and walked to the door of Shi's house and handed back the copy of "Nine Calculations": "Eldest grandson, this book is fake..."

"Oh?" said Changsun Yan as he took the book and wondered, "How does Sir know that it is fake?" ”

"This book is a physical object made of spiritual energy. Li Yichen stared at Changsun Yan's eyes, wanting to see some clues from them.

The doubts on Eldest Sun Yan's face were gradually replaced by a smile: "How did Mr. know that the aura can conjure such a physical object?"

"In Xia Bucai, although I haven't practiced Taoism since I was a child, I have seen a lot of miscellaneous notes. I've seen this transformation method before. ”

"Okay!" Changsun Yan shouted, "He is worthy of being my fancier." ”

Li Yichen's face was a little unnatural: "What does the eldest grandson mean by this?"

"Yes, I do know something about Wang Ermazi's death. Changsun Yan said lightly, as if the loss of this life was not worth a penny in his eyes.

And so it was. Li Yichen said lightly, "But human life is at stake, so readily admit that it is the first time I have met it." ”

"Oh?" Eldest Sun Yan smiled slightly and said, "Although it has something to do with me, it wasn't me who killed it." ”

"I guessed that it wasn't your hand, the person who did it should be your maid - Zhu'er!" Li Yichen said firmly.

"Hahaha. Hearing this, Changsun Yan burst out laughing, "Sir, where did this conclusion come from?" ”

"Guess. ”

"Well, right or wrong, I like your temper. ”

The conversation between the two was a little goalless and clueless, and Li Yichen always wanted to convict Changsun Yan. But Changsun Yan's every sentence carried a tone of acknowledgment and non-admit, which made Li Yichen feel like he was scratching a loach, and let it slip away without paying attention.

"I don't know anything, and I hope that the eldest grandson will advise. ”

"What?"

"Since you admit that you know something, why are you so calm, as if Wang Er's death is a matter of course?" Li Yichen threw out his own question.

Changsun Yan took two steps left and right, his eyes revealed an inscrutable look, and he said lightly: "Do you want to participate in the autumn exam?"

Changsun Yan did not directly answer Li Yichen's question, but asked Li Yichen a question. This question was like a bolt of lightning on a sunny day, splitting the soul lake in Li Yichen's mind.

"I'm sure you're willing to participate. Eldest Sun Yan didn't wait for Li Yichen to answer and continued, "I can help you go to the autumn exam, but I hope you don't pursue Wang Er Mazi anymore." ”

Li Yichen pursed his lips and said for a while: "I can't promise you for two reasons: First, this is not in line with the general righteousness. Second, I won't be able to take the autumn exams for the rest of my life. ”

"Oh?" Eldest Sun Yan looked at him with interest, "Why?"

"Because my body is highly poisonous, my meridians are stiff, and I have no chance with the Tao for the rest of my life..."
