Chapter 42: Land Immortals
(I want to hear more of your voices and receive more of your suggestions. Now I search for the WeChat public account "qdread" and follow it to give more support to "Ming Dynasty Gua Master"!) Peng Qingchen has been listening attentively. When he heard this, he saw that Gongsun He didn't say anything. After waiting for a while, there was still no following. He asked in a deep voice: "The dry place in the north? What is the specific one? What is the murderer? If you don't explain clearly who I want to catch?"
Gongsun He blushed and didn't know how to answer.
Yi Xingchen hurriedly stood in front of him and said to Peng Qingchen: "My master was frightened just now. Let me continue to talk to you: The hexagram says, after you leave the yamen, go north, there is a row of iron shops in the north of the city, which is what the master calls dry and yang. When you get there, you will see two children quarreling in front of a iron shop. Next to the child, there is a woodcutter about seventeen or eighteen years old selling wood. He is the murderer. - Now you are clear enough, right? Go and catch people! If you are late, you are afraid that the murderer will leave."
Peng Qingchen was very surprised. This was too accurate, right? He and Captain Cui looked at each other. Peng Qingchen said, "Are you saying true?"
Yi Xingchen smiled faintly and said, "The hexagram said this, it was not what I said, it was the god of the hexagram. Okay, you can go and catch people. Master and I are here to pay tribute to the embroidery girl and wait for your news. If you can't catch the murderer, or if you catch that person is not the murderer, come back and catch us. We are waiting here."
When Peng Qingchen heard this, he was so confident that he couldn't help but feel a little confused. However, seeing that he said so affirmatively, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take a look as you said. If you lied to me, I will make you worse than death when you come back!"
Yi Xingchen didn't look at him, turned around and said to his master: "Master, let's start paying homage to Miss Xiaoxinghua?"
Peng Qingchen had never seen any ordinary citizen who could be so calm when he saw their Jinyiwei and didn't take it seriously. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and at the same time he was secretly impressed. No matter what, this young man was not an ordinary person.
He immediately waved his hand and said, "Leave two people to watch, and the others follow me."
The group hurriedly left the morgue and left, leaving only two Jinyiwei standing outside the door, looking at Yi Xingchen and the others.
Gongsun He only mentioned a general direction and a very abstract place based on the hexagram. However, Yi Xingchen said such an accurate position, and even said that there were two children quarreling next to the iron shop, and the murderer was next to the quarrel. In such an accurate scene, Gongsun He could not even say it even if he was beaten to death, and he did not dare to make such a judgment.
He thought that his disciple was talking nonsense, and he couldn't help but feel extremely anxious. He glanced at the two Jinyiwei standing at the door, staring at them, and they couldn't escape. Even if they escaped from the morgue and offended Jinyiwei, what place can they accommodate?
Seeing that the master was so scared that his whole body was trembling, Yi Xingchen said, "Master, don't worry, this is true in the hexagram. Anyway, the words have been said, so it's useless to worry. It's better to pay tribute to the girl Xinghua."
Gongsun He was right when he heard this. Now he had already said it, and he could not collect the water from the words he said. It would be better to calm down and pay a good tribute to the embroidered girl. If the Jinyiwei didn't catch the murderer back in a while, I'm afraid they would never have such a chance again.
Gongsun He nodded heavily, began to light incense and candles to burn paper money, kneeling next to the embroidered girl's body, and thought of the warmth of last night, and his eyes turned red again. While burning paper, he was muttering in his mouth. Yi Xingchen was beside him, and he heard him silly and vaguely saying something, but he couldn't hear it clearly. It must be the words he thought about last night and couldn't sleep all night, and he said to the Apricot Flower Girl in the Spirit of Heaven.
The two Jinyiwei at the door kept sneering and muttering to each other. One of them said: "This fortune teller really thinks he is a god? He said it vividly. What are the kids quarrels, the iron shops, and the young woodcutter who chops wood? It's just an old birthday boy who hangs his life. When Lord Xiaoqi comes back, he will definitely look good as him."
Another Jinyiwei was a little older and seemed calmer. He looked at Yi Xingchen and Gongsun He in confusion and whispered: "However, I don't look like they are seeking death. He speaks so confidently, as if they are real. Could it be that they are so accurate in fortune-telling? I have never heard of it. I have often gone to find people to tell fortunes. Those fortune-telling are just to trap your words, and then follow your words to make you happy and make money. How many of them have real skills? But I think they are not like that kind of people like this."
"What do you think? The more you pretend to be, the less capable you are. You can only rely on bluffing people. You see, when Lord Xiaoqi can't catch the person and come back to punish them, these two people will definitely have some words, and they talked loudly about coaxing Lord Xiaoqi to let them go. They must have made this idea. Now when it comes to burning incense, they must be thinking about how to deceive Lord Xiaoqi."
The older Jinyiwei shook his head and said, "I don't think I can underestimate them. You haven't seen the young man who just told the fortune teller Xiaoqi. He knew something was attracting the attention of our Jinyiwei, and then we intervened in this case. He could tell exactly what that thing was. How could he know what it was if we didn't even know what it was? But after seeing him muttering in Xiaoqi's ear, Xiaoqi was obviously very surprised. Looking at the adult's face, maybe he was really right. What did you say is not a skill?"
When the younger Jinyiwei heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, thought for a while, nodded and said, "I think it's a bit strange when you say this. How did he know what our Jinyiwei found at the scene? Only Master Xiaoqi knows this, how could he know? Could it be that he and the murderer are the ones who know it?"
The older Jinyiwei waved his hand and said, "Don't say anything randomly. I know these two people. I have been setting up a stall on the streets of Tunzhou for many years, and I have no power to tie a chicken. How can I cross the wall and enter Cuixianglou and kill her master and servant? They don't look like murderers."
"People should not behave like a person. Some people look gentle and kind, but they are actually better than anyone else."
"You are wrong. If the two adults are really the murderers, then they will give their accomplices to us and let us arrest them. Doesn't it mean that they will also pay them in? Aren't they worried that their accomplices will give them out? It can be seen that your inference is unreasonable."
"That's true. If Lord Xiaoqi really caught the murderer according to his hexagram, it means that he really did the fortune teller, and it could not be an accomplice. Otherwise, if he confessed to the accomplice, the accomplice would have to confess him, which would be equivalent to sending himself to death, and there was no reason."
"That's right, if Lord Xiaoqi really caught the murderer after a while and it was confirmed that it was indeed the real murderer who killed the two masters and servants, then these two fortune tellers are not ordinary people. They can calculate the murderer from the hexagrams, and only gods can do this. Could they be the land gods?"
After analyzing this, the two couldn't help feeling the air conditioning on their backs. Gongsun He in front of them seemed to have become a half-immortal with a fairy-like spirit. The two quickly looked at each other and muttered, "Let's see the situation first. If the murderer is really caught, then they are really capable. If we talk nonsense and he wants to cast some magic, then we will be miserable. It's better to put our mouths clean first."
