(I want to hear more of your voice and receive more of your suggestions. Now, search for the WeChat public account "qdread" and follow it to give more support to "Ming Dynasty Gua Master"!) The old man was overjoyed when he heard Gongsun He say that he would receive a large amount of unlocking money tonight. He nodded happily and said, "It's great. If it's true, then I'll thank you for your good words. Let's go, I'll open the door for you. It's okay for you to burn paper slowly. If you burn paper money, the noble man happened to come and gave me the unlocking money. You can stay here to have a drink with me. It's not interesting to drink alone, hehe."
Gongsun He likes drinking very much, but at this moment he has no idea. He just nodded and didn't speak. He walked to the morgue before he stopped. The old man took out the key and opened the door.
Gongsun He saw that the morgue was empty and there were several door panels. Among them, there were two corpses on the two door panels next to the door, covered with white cloth sheets. Thinking of the woman lying below who was still warming to him last night, but now it has turned into a cold corpse. Gongsun He couldn't help but feel sad, and she burst into tears and staggered over.
He stretched out his hand and gently lifted the white cloth covering the body, and took advantage of the evening sunset to see the face clearly. However, it was the maid's, her neck was cut off, her cervical spine had been cut off, and the blood had already dried up. Her head had no support from the cervical spine. She was flipped, and she looked pale and scary.
Gongsun He shivered, and the bed sheet slipped down and changed it back to the maid's face.
Gongsun He walked tremblingly to the second wooden board. The body was of course the Apricot Flower Girl. He endured his grief and reached out to uncover the white cloth sheet. At first glance, he screamed in shock. He took a few steps back and hit the maid's wooden bed behind him. The impact was too strong. The wooden board was originally separated from two long benches, not very firm, and was knocked over at once. The maid's body fell straight from the wooden board and fell to the ground.
Yi Xingchen didn't know what scared his master like this. He quickly looked at it and took a breath of cold air, so scared that he took two steps back.
It turned out that the originally beautiful head of the Apricot Flower Girl was cut open into a V-shaped shape. In the skull cavity of the head that was divided into two halves, the snow-white brain was stained with blood, red and white, and part of the brain mass flowed onto the wooden board and accumulated into a small pool, as if tofu wrapped in tomato sauce. The Apricot Flower Girl's eyes were half open, staring straight ahead.
This look is indeed so scary, no wonder it scared the master to that look.
When the old man in the door saw Gongsun He hit the maid's body on the ground, he was angry and anxious, and said hurriedly: "Oh, be careful. If you do this, Captain Cui and the others will know. I won't be scolded to death? Hurry up, help me lift the body up, hurry up."
The old man said as he laid the bench and tidied up the wooden boards. Then he grabbed the maid's feet and shouted at Yi Xingchen, so he asked him to help lift the body.
Yi Xingchen saw his master standing there in horror, his thin body trembling constantly. He wanted to go over and comfort him, but the old man in the door was anxious to ask him to carry the body, so he hurried over.
However, he had never touched the body since he was a child, especially the maid's neck had been cut off for most of the time. Because her cervical spine had been cut off, her head had lost support. After falling to the ground, her head was strangely hanging on her back, and she looked even more scary.
He was really scared. It really took him to muster up his courage to carry such a fearful corpse.
Just as he was gritting his teeth and preparing to grit his teeth to lift the body, there were rapid and noisy footsteps outside the door, and there seemed to be many people coming, among which he shouted loudly: "Old man Zhou, where are you, Old man Zhou?"
The old man who was guarding the door was frightened when he heard the sound, and agreed in a panic, and then said to Gongsun He urgently: "No, Captain Cui and the others are here, it's so miserable. You should lift the body up and put it down quickly. I'll go to greet you first and block it."
The old man stumbled and ran out. Sure enough, he saw Captain Cui coming in with a group of people. When he saw the visitor, the old man was even more scared, because he looked at the clothes and was the most terrifying person, the Jinyiwei!
The old man hugged his waist and said, "I, I'm here."
Captain Cui glanced at him with dissatisfaction: "I asked you to look at the gate of the morgue. What are you doing when you go in? The master of the Jinyiwei came to investigate the case, but you were drunk like this, what do you look like?"
The old man Mang hurriedly nodded and bowed his head to apologize, but stood in front of him and refused to give way. He wanted to get some time to place the corpse for Yi Xingchen and the others inside.
Captain Cui glared at his eyes and said, "Don't let go, block the Grand Master of Jinyiwei, are you afraid of your life?"
"Yes, the little one deserves to die, the little one deserves to die." The old man said as he whispered to the side. A cold light flashed in the eyes of the tall and burly official led by the Jinyiwei. He raised his hand and slapped it hard, hitting the old man horizontally, and threw it heavily to the ground, and spit out his two teeth from his mouth.
The old man at the door was so scared that he quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
The officials of the Jinyiwei guards did not take a glance and walked into the morgue with great strides.
Yi Xingchen had already heard what happened outside. As expected, it was the same as the hexagrams in his mind. What the old man in the door looked forward to was not a reward, but a slap from a high-ranking official.
Yi Xingchen did not carry the body because the maid's body was petite, but the dead person would feel much heavier than normal people, which is called death. The body of his current apprentice is only fifteen or sixteen years old and thin. At this time, his master Gongsun He stood in horror and was at a loss, and he didn't know how to come to help. It was too difficult for Yi Xingchen to carry such a corpse of nearly 100 kilograms onto the wooden bed alone. Especially in such a short time, and the maid's body fell to the ground, many blood clots on the wound on his neck flowed to the ground, and these traces could not be eliminated at once. Even if the body was barely lifted onto the wooden bed, the traces on the ground would still be exposed, making people know that the corpse had been moved.
Instead of not being able to hide it well, it is better to use this short time to think about how to deal with the current crisis.
Because, he had heard three words from Captain Cui outside say - Jinyiwei!
What a person the Jinyiwei is? He is a spy from the Ming Dynasty's spy agency! He was directly ordered by the emperor and held the power of life and death. To kill himself, he would step on an ant to death. Yi Xingchen had been in high school, studied history, and read many films, TV series and online novels. Of course, he knew very well what kind of people the Jinyiwei was.
At this critical moment, he calmed down and his head whirled rapidly.
He decided to calculate a hexagram and tell himself what to do. - The person who came came from the east. The east belonged to the Zhen hexagram. The person who came was an official from the Jinyiwei, represented the people from the public, belonged to the Qian hexagram. From this, the Dazhuang hexagram of the upper Zhen hexagram and the lower Qian hexagram was obtained.
A three-dimensional hexagram of the Dazhuang hexagram immediately appeared in his mind. At the same time, the first line of the hexagram, namely the first line and the third line, kept flashing. The flashing line prompted that he should look for the direction of the hexagram from the relevant line words of the Book of Changes.
The first line of the Dazhuang hexagram in the "Book of Changes" is: "Strong on the toe, conquer, evil, and good." It means that the toes are strong and dangerous when going to the expedition, but you can catch prisoners.
Yi Xingchen was sweating coldly on his forehead. This sentence refers to the military's war. What does it have to do with him now? He didn't understand it for a moment.
He immediately thought about the third line of the line, which said: "The villain uses strong man, the gentleman uses Wang, Zhenli, the sheep touches the vassal state, and his horns are weak." This means that the villain uses his strength to solve problems, while the gentleman does not rely on his strength to solve problems. When he asks questions, it indicates that there is danger. The ram uses his horn to touch the barrier, and the horns are stuck!
When he thought of the third line of Yaoci, his heart was filled with a storm. Isn’t this what the Yaoci wrote about is the situation in front of him? Yaoci reminded himself that he should not force himself. If he wants to escape by force, he will be dangerous. It will be like a ram slamming the fence surrounding it with his horns, and he wants to smash the fence wall to escape, but the fence wall is stuck and unable to move. Therefore, if he wants to break through forcibly, he will only have a dead end.
But how can you get rid of the predicament by forcibly escaping?
Just before he could think of the idea, those people had already appeared at the door of the morgue.
